Within a short time two largo windows dews have been rather mysteriously broken in Everett's block. Ono was n largo plate glass in Foster's drug store , the other in the Milwaukee & St. Paul olllco. Both widnows were broken by a bullet , apparently llrcd by an air gun or "nigger shooter. " The damage amounts to two or three hundred del lars. Mr. Everett has boon investigat ing tbo matter and is of the opinion that the window breaking is done by Fomo of the bo.vs connected with the Western Union telegraph olllco. It is said that the boys have boon mischiev ously firing froni tbo upper windows of the block opposite in which the tele graph olllco is located. Mr. Everett is threatening to commence suit for dam- apes. It seems that some way should bo found to discover tbo ones who ba\o done this mischief , and for bringing them to such punishment as will btop further breakages.

Another RcformAtory Petition A ThlrfH Sacred IMnitt Call For Her. Mr. Mnokny Window llrcnlc- Ing Oilier Hems. The liny In Court. Judge A. B. Thornoll arrived in the city Tuesday evening nnd was In his place on the bench when tbo district court convened yesterday morning. The forenoon was devoted to ? alling the equity docket and assigning causes for trial. The first three wcoks of the term will bo devoted to the trial of equity causes , and the petit jury was dismissed until the 11 th of February. An assign ment of causes was made for the first week. The court announced that the contempt cases would bo given prece dence over others , and would bo called whenever the prosecution is ready. A number of injunction cases are among those already sot down for trial. In the afternoon , as the court was about to call the grand jury , Colonel Sapp called the attention of the court to the fact that certain members were drawn who were on the grand jury last year , and therefore ineligible. He btatcd that there was a clique in Hazel Doll township which had endeavored to keep certain men off the grand jury , and alleged that Mr. Leonard , the mem ber drawn this year , had not been re turned by the trustees , and in behalf of that gentleman asked for his release. This lead to an investigation , and the county auditor was called into court with his poll and election books , and his testimony showed that six of the twelve grand jurors drawn had not been duly returned for this year , but were instead among those returned for last year. It was shown that n , correct list had , been given to ex-County Clerk Shea , who drew the grand jury , and that left the explanation with Mr. Shea. That gentleman professed entire igno rance regarding the matter , said that the only explanation ho could give was a supposition , which was that the list for Itibt year had boon left in the box ' and tho'lator list of names Ifor this year bad been dropped in on top of them. As tbo explanation was perfectly plausible and the only one that could satisfac torily account for the manimolh mis take , it was accepted. It was a piece of gross carolcssnebs , and resulted in con siderable delay and inconvenience. After hearing the testimony in the matter the court rendered the following decision : "It appearing to the court that the grand jury summoned to appear at this term , and for tbo vear Ibfa'J , has been illegally drawn , therefore it K ordered by the court that said percept for said grand jury bo and is hereby set aside ; and it is further ordered that a percept bo issued to the sheriff of this county commanding him to summon asulllcicnt number of persons from iho body of the county to serve at this term of court ; and the court gives him twenty-four hours in which to make that selection. " The jurors who bad been summoned wore discharged , and the clerk directed to issue warrants to pay them for their attendance. Sheriff O'Neill will have another grand jury on hand at 2 o'clock this afternoon. For the present term of court the re porting will bo done by Captain J. II. Clark , who exchanges with Reporter Van Pelt , on account of the illness of Mrs. Clark , who prefers to remain in this city. Hereafter Mr. Clark will re port for Judge Macoy. Ono of the conspicuous features of tbo court room is the notice on the clerk's desk , and reads as follows : "Pleaso Notice This is no hat rack. All bats , coats and canes found bereon will bo appropriated to the use of the bailiffs and their families. II. J. Chambers.

About 10 o'clock yesterday morning a bundle containing four shirts was found under the porch at the parochial residence erected by St. Francis Xa- vlor's parish for Rev. B. P. McMenomy. As the bundle was not there on the pre ceding evening , it was evidently placed there- Tuesday night. The janitor of the church was engaged in throwing wood into the basement when a darkoy appeared , and after engaging in con vocation with tbo janitor , pretended to discover the bundle. Ho was on the point of walking away with it when the janitor interfered and took possession of it. Tno coon stated that ho was em ployed at the court house , but that is falbo , as no darkoy is employed at the county building. The bundle was taken to tbo police station and the matter re ported to the police. The darkoy was immediately sot down as the thief who had stolen the clothes , and concealed them until an opportunity was presented for removing them to some more favor able hiding place. A search was insti tuted for him , but no trace of him wus found. The temporary hiding place selected by tbo thief was a novel ono , and the superstitious pilferer evidently had great faith in the sanctity of the grounds to keen blti | from barm. The clothing bore different marks , eoroo of the articles being marked "O. W. Bry ant" nnd others "J. C. M. " These gen- tlomcn ran doubtless tell whcro they have their washing dononnd some due given to the police. The clothing was evidently taken from some dwelling , as the Inundrying was complete nnd ready for delivery to the owners. They Want Itel'orin. The objections raised against the forir of petition first drawn up for presenta tion to tbo city council in the Interests of reform , have led to another form less objectionable. The following is the pe tition which was adopted by the Pres byterian , Congregational nnd otboi churches , and endorsed by some who could not agree with the statement made in the one presented at the Methodist church ; To the Honorable Mnvor nnil City Council ol Council Bluffs.

Hlmh , on behalf of the ninny interests ol parsons , families and community , which arc injured or Imperilled , hereby appeals to you , ns the duly nppointcil conservators of tin public interests of the city , for relief from tlio prevalent disregard , in our community , of ccitnln laws of lown , anil ordinances o ( our city , winch is persistently manifesting itself us follows , vb. : 1.

These vices also , every ono of them , nro fruitful causes of intense suffering in many of the homes of this city. This very suflur- ing appeals to us nil , ntul to .von , more than nil others , because of your olllcial positions , for rellnf.

Done nt a meeting of the contrrcgn- tion , of Council Hluffs , In. , nt their house of worship , on Sabbath morning , January 20 , issy , nnil oidcred to bo respectfully convoyed to the mayor and city council by a committee - too , consisting of the following persons , viz. : Attest : , Pastor , , Clerk. Vicwini ; Mnnnwn. Engineer Bunkinbino , Chairman Me- Connell , of the Manawa. improvement committee , and several other inter ested gentlemen visited Lake Manawa yesterday morning for the purpose of looking over the ground and devising plans for the improvement of the lake. The plan favored by Mr. Birkinbino is to cut two channels , turning the Mos quito and Indian creeks away from the lake , the former into the other lake south of Manawa , and the Indian creek directly into the river. Ho also proposes to dam up the outlet of the lake , and put in an engine and pump to keep the lake filled with water. He deems it unwise to attempt to lluino water into Manawa from the south lake , as a spring freshet would cut out all work of the kind that could bo done. Ho states that the plant necessary to keep the lake filled would cost about $3,200 , and the mun who would bo re quired to run the engine , would look after the dykes and dams. The pump would bo necessary for two months during the summer and early fall , and at other times could bo used for pumping out the sand at the bottom of the lake. The pump would throw 75 per cent sand and the deposit could bo piped to the shore. Ho favors the idea of putting down about forty two-inch drive-wells on the island southeast of the hotel , and thinks that by going forty feet would strike another stratum of water , and it could be pumped at small cost. The committee authorized him to write for prices for tlio neces sary machinery , and in the meanwhile will go ahead with the work of shutting oil the water of the Mosquito and In dian creeks. The method of filling the lake is notyol determined , but the city sewerage will bo shut out of the lake and the bathers will doubtless appreci ate oven that much improvement. W. S.

For the past fourteen months the office - fico of the county recorder has been oc cupied to a greater or loss degree by a largo corps of abstractors , aside from those who regularly haunt that ofllco , in the interest of the various abstract ofl'ces ' of this city. This corps was in the employ of the firm of Watson & Boll , Omaha abstractors , who had con tracted to got up a complete sot of ab stract books for the Pottawattamio County Abstract , Warranty and Trust company , which was incorporated in this city about fifteen months ago. The contract price for getting up the set was $112,000 , and the contracting firm hns since that time had a force of from six to eighteen abstractors at work. The work was to have boon completed on the 1st of January , 1889 , but the time was extended until the 25th of the month , as it could not bo completed at the specified data. The work will bo completed tomorrow row , and the books will bo turned over to the now firm , Tlio In corporators are George l \ Wright , C. R , Hannan , A. B. Walker , O. J. Colby , Arocu bank , Exohangn bank of Walnut , . ! . B , .Tohnn- son , Walnut , L , B , Robinson , Oakland , Citiy.or.81 bank , Oakland , and B. P. Clayton , Macedonia , The completion of the work will relieve lievo the recorder's olllco of several of the abstractors who have been busy there for over a year. Before the re moval of the county offices to the court house , tlio largo force was a veritable nulsanco , but lately they have occupied a room in the basement of the court house. The ofloct of the completion of this sot of abstract hooks will bo felt by the other abstract companies , as several of the banks in the county are inter ested in the now company , and all of their business will necessarily go to that company.

A Disagreeable A < lvcntnrc nt the Homoof His Sweetheart. The sudden prominence of Elijah Ilalford , the president-elect's private secretary , recalls a story of his youthful days , says tin Indianapolis letter to the New Yo'rk World. Even private secre taries of presidents sometimes have dis agreeable adventures at this early but interesting periods of their lives. It is of no little moment to get a fellow's courage up to the point of calling upon a girl for the first time. It takes a brave heart when everything goes smoothly , and when there are breakers ahead in the way of opposition by the parents it takes the grit of a soldier to bo successful. If there is anything in clined to rulllo the tender sensibilities of a young man it is to have a thought less "parent insinuate that ho is too young to call upon his daughter and that she is too young to receive bib at tentions. It was thus that they sought to crush the youthful Ilalford. He wasn't crushed , howovor. At every attempt he bobbed up bigger than before. About this time the family went to the neighboring town of Blooinington to spend a week. The young Indy re mained at homo. During thpir absence Major J. B. Mulky , an old friend of the family from that piano , was called to Indianapolis on business , and the par ents of the girl told him to bo sure to go around and spend the evening with their daughter. ' 'She would bo so lonely , " they said. They wore mis taken , however. She was not lonely. Neither was Ilalford. A jollier couple could not have been found when the boll rang at about 8JO : ! that evening , but the cold chills chased up and down his bpine when she said : "Oh , what if that should bo pa and ma ! " They wouldn't t-top in the parlor long if it was , so after a few moments' consulta tion Ilalford was securely hid behind a little high-backed divan which stood across the corner of the room. The door was opened , hut it wasn't pa and ma. It was Mulky. Ho ambled in ana ensconced himself upon the co/.y divan and informed the young lady that iio had come to fulfill hispromiso to her parents to help hoi,1 pass away the long evening. The thermometer was in the 90's , and the mnjor'ofton referred to the fact as ho mopped his manly brow. If it was hot for Mulky , what was the state of temperature for Ilnlfordy Ho was hotter than ho was at the Greshum men in the Chicago convention. Mr. Hal- ford was a devout Methodist , but was not accustomed to remain upon his knees for hours continuously. Hence it was fortunate that .Mnlky occupied the divan , for the prisoner could occasion ally ribo and got breath of air and the benefit of a fan with which the thought ful young lady Ijail provided her caller. After ono glimpse of Halford's face she opened all the doors and windows ind gave Mulky ,51 larger fan than over. Ho waved it unceasingly , and was prob- ibly Instrumental in preserving Hal- 'oru's life , for which service 10 will doubtless expect an ap pointment ! To resume : The major carried on the principal part of the con versation unaided. Ho talked over the > oliticul situation and of his own nspir- itions in that direction. Ho then took .ip the subject of chess at which game 10 is un export and told her of his various victories , entering into the de rails and intrh'svclos of this sprightly and interesting game. Meanwhile , in order to keep his blood circulating and obtain air , Hulford moved carefully and noiselessly about ,11(0 , a oagod lion , and 111-050 u 'lu\\ \ \ . - At Uw ! tlio Visitor m.030 , , ( !

The lady joined him in the regret - grot , but the ono who regretted most of all was Halford , Ho regretted that ho could not got from behind that tllvn then and there and wipe up the eartl with him. The major bowed himsol out and Ilalford was released and re vlved. Afterward , when ho Informo some intimate friends of the incident and observed that those were th longest two hours ho had over passe upon this torrestial globe , they hi liovod him , Don't hawk , hawk , blowsplt , and di- gust everybody with your olTonslv breath , but use Dr. Sago's Ciitnrr remedy and end It.

Gibguiiiaud , says a Bal timore dispatch to the Globe-Democrat , died last night in a little hut near Catonsvillo , Baltimore county , sur rounded by her dogs , squirrels , cats and birds. The only human being who know ol the old woman's demise was the good priest of the parish , who ad ministered the sacraments of the church and gave her absolution. For eight years she has lived in seclusion , shunning her neighbors and venturing out only when it was necessary to lay in a supply of food , or when going to church. Up to the hour of her death her confessor alone knew of the old woman's history , which is now for the first time made public. Mine. Poyanaud was born in Purls , and up to tbo'time of her marriage enjoyed the respect of all who know her. Soon lifter her wedding her husband , a bar ber , died , leaving her in possession of Lho secret of beautifying the complex ion. She continued the business , but it was not sufficiently rcmunorativo. whereupon she conceived the idea of compelling her customers to pay more liberally. She advertised extensivelyJ promis ing the most remarkable improvement by the USP of her wash , but enjoining ibaoluto secrecy upon the ladies whom she proposed to benefit. Soon her busi ness increased , and then she put her scheme- into operation.
