"How can I get out to the Chautauqun
grounds ! "
It was not strnntrers only who asked the
question yesterday morning. Many who
lived right hero scorned equally puzzled.
They wandered up nnd down the IJroadwny
sidewalks , looking in valu for the carryalls
and busses , with the expected banners to In
dicate their purpose. It was useless to toll
thcso eager perambulators that there would
bo plenty of conveyances nfter dinner , or
that they could go to the depot and talco a
train for the grounds. They wanted to go ,
and go rlplit away.
The opening day of the Council Bluffs and
Omaha assembly was thick with Interroga
tion points of all sorts. ' 'Where's Mr.
Harkncssl" The besought nnd besieged
manager was appealed to for ovcryttilntr ,
"What about tickets ) Are they Irani-
ferrablo ? Can I got any feed for my norsol
Can these children go free ) Have you a
tent to spare ! \Vhat time will the exercises
tale : place ! How can I got my baggage up
from the depot ! " A perfect ( lurry of queries
fell upon him like a snowstorm. The
bviwo man did the very best ho could ,
but It would have taken n man with two
heads , nnd with a double sot of tongues In
each head , nnd ench tonpuo hung in the
middle so as to answer questions at both ends ,
to have kept up with tha procession. Ho
had a largo number of assistants , but after
relieving him of nil possible , they In turn
had to add to thu number of queries which ho
nlofflj could answer.
The opening of the assembly could not but
impress ono with the crudcncss of many
features , the lack of some needed Improve
ments , but with u still deeper impression of
the possibilities of this grand enterprise.
Although formally opened yesterday there
were numerous details which were not com
pleted. Most of these will bo arranged this
forenoon , so that those who arrive to-day
will find mutters really ready for their ac
commodation.
The water works system was started in
operation yesterday. The water pumped
over the grounds from springs at the foot of
the hills , was tested and , pronounced as
pure , cold nud refreshing as could possibly
bo wished for.
Thn grand amphitheater called forth many
expressions of admiration , The visitors from
the far cast , most of whom are familiar with
other Clmutauqua grounds , were among the
most enthusiastic admirers of this struc
ture.

"Even those who were prepared for a great
reduction In paving olds were surprised at
the figures submitted last evening , " re-
mariccd nn alderman yesterday afternoon.
"I was not prepared for quite such a turn bio
myself , aud I understood the situation , Just
think of It $1.15 pur yard for cedar block
paving. Last year it was $1.53 and upwards.
They oven offer us brick paving for $1.73 ,
which bea s last year by 10 or 13 cents ,
That will make quitean item with 20,000
yards to pave. "
A round up of the aldermen , to ascertain
their position as to material , found two of
them , Aldermen Weaver and Everett , very
pronounced in favor of brick. Alderman
Knophor was strongly In favor of brick , but
thought it would bo hotter to lot u part of the
ueason's work for cedar block , if there waste
to bo a scarcity of brick that would other
wise compel the postponement of a part of
the work until next year for completion.
Alderman Laoy Is a brick man , but takes no
decided stand uo yet. Aldermen Uolllnger
und Waterman have not looked Into the
matter buftlolently as yet to give a decided
opinion ,
The property owners will have the princi
pal voice In the matter , and streets will bo
paved a * the majority of the owners of
abutting property may request. Notwith
standing ho heavy blow given by the greatly
reduced rates for cedar , brick stock still
looms up and Booms to bo growing in favor ,
' 1 ho fact that it is a homo production helps
it greatly , and this argument is heard a hun
dred times a day ,
As the bids now stand , J. B. Smith & Co. ,
of ChlMBo. nro the lowest on cedar , $1.15.
2uiJtY ! \ ; , v'Khtamn ' , of this city , on brick
$1.73. Wlckhaiu & , Co. are the lowest on
brick , (1.82 , and the third on cedar , $1.23.

on cedar , ? 1.2TKSmith ft , Co. did quite a

The Proposed 8npp Hlooic.
The report of a now business block on the
Snpp corner , corner of Scott and Uroadway ,
hns been periodically sprung on the public
with astonishing regularity for the past two
Or thrco years , but the same ancient frame
structure still disgraces the spot However ,
It Is now stated on the very best authority
that the time for the long looked for change
has arrived , nnd a handsome block , o'f mod *
orn architecture , will rise on the slto of the
present wretched shell. W. F. Snpp , Jr. , was
seen yesterday afternoon and questioned in
regard to the exact situation of nffalrs , nnd
the prospect of the prosposcd building being
erected this season. Said ho : "There Is only
ono thing that can possibly prevent It , nnd
that will bo the refusal of contractors to
build It nt a reasonable figure. The plans
and specifications nro all completed , and In
the hands of the contractors. Llds ) will be
opened Thursday afternoon , and If the prlco
Is satisfactory , the contract will bo lot and
work will bo commenced at onco. This work
has not all boon done for nothing , nnd I hope
to SDO n great chnngo made by the middle ot
next month. The building will bo an orna
ment to the city. I consider its erection an
assured fact.

To Uullcl Or Not to Build.
It is said that history repeats itself , and
such indeed , scorns to bo the case , BD far as
the school board Is concerned , for there is
another deadlock in that august and highly
intellectual body , and the members are
again nt sword's ' points. To build or not to
build Is the question that occasions The diffi
culty. It will bo remembered that at the
annual school election , last spring , It was
voted to authorise the school board to issue
bonds for the erection of a 520,000 school
building In the wosloin part of the city.
This is richt where the hitch comes in.
Some of tha board want to build and the
others object. Arguments long and exhaus
tive are advanced by each side , nnd the ques
tion has been discussed In all its bearing at
least a dozen times , still the learned gentle
men are as much at variance as over.
These who refuse to give their consent to
n now building , urge as their reason for
doing so that the western part of the city
docs not need the proposed structure , and ,
that the idea was sprung on the public by
real estate men from motives of n personal
and mercenary nature. They admit that
the present school facilities are Inadequate ,
but propose to get around that by building
additions to present structures.
A motion was made at the meeting Mon
day evening , to build additions to the school
b.Mldinps nt Strcctsvillo and Eighth avenue ,
but the members who want the now bulldinc
would not listen to It , and the scheme was
slaughtered in Its Infancy. Then the motion
to erect the now building , as voted by the
people , came up , anil a tic vote resulted.
Three wanted to build , and thrco were de
termined that no now school house should go
up this year. So the matter still stands.
All of the members unlto in the opinion that
additional accommodations are needed , but
they can not agree on hotv they shall bo
supplied.
The advocates of the now building state
that money expended on the old buildings
will bo practically thrown away , and claim
that now rooms can bo furnished perma
nently in a now building more cheaply nnd
satisfactorily than in additions where they
would uo rather out of the way. The indica
tions are n little in favor of the anti-builders ,
as It requires four votes to build , and the
present tlo will kill anything of that kind as
long as it exists.

capacity of hash rustler at the Homo res
taurant for the sum of $10 a week and suoh
other perquisites an sometimes find their
way from the pocket of a customer to that
of an attentive wpltor. James , however ,
had other aspirations , ho longed for the al
mighty dollar in exceeding numoroslty , and
mourned because ho had it not. Ho gave
good satisfaction , and his employer concluded
that James was u necessary | iart of the es
tablishment.
Monday ovculng ho doffed his whlto Jacket
and apron , but continued to loiter about the
plncu long after work hours. Whllo the
other employes wore engaged H the front
part of the building. Staloy entered the
cook's department and helped himself to $25
that was In a desk , Ho was scon in the roar
of the promises handling thn cash , and an
examination revealed the fact that the cash
was missing. Staloy was arrested la his
room and the money found in his bcd. > His
case was called yesterday before Judge
Aylcsxvortb , but a continuance was granted
to allow him time to prepare for trial.

The ether Any n young London dee
tor who dnuhtloBS from nome sclontiflo
or other high motlvo had declined to
nny n bill , had n "distress" served upon
him in the most ingenious manner , suys
Tlrt Bits. His intelligence had long
fled the bloodhounds of the law , hut the
broker's mam nlono was 0110 too mttny
for him. The doors were locked , the
windows bolted , the area gnto impreg-
nnblo ; hut the genius to whom hud htfbu
intrusted the task of entering the castle
was equal to the occasion. What ho
looked for wns "the motive" that is ,
the motive which would bo most likely
to induce a young doctor to open his
door ; and ho found it in a "patient , "
lie drove up to the door in a cub an a-
chronic but well-to-do invalid. Swathed
in Humid , ho tottered up the steps , and
when the sympathizing physician lot
him in and was nbout to inquire into
bis case , ho replied : "Summons , sir ;
I'm the broker's man. "
