The ton days' lay oft resolution recently passed granting the Ilromon that length of vacation each year , was rescinded , uud the former rule adopted in Its place. A Groundless Humor. For several days past It tins been rumored that certain parties in the city claimed to bo possessed of certain facts regarding the death of William Spears , which would shift the responsibly for the murder to other shoulders than thono on which It uow rests. A woman living In the vicinity of where the murder occurred , dropped the remark that she was acquainted with Brown , the alleged murderer , had known him , In fact , since ho was a llttlo boy , and would not sea him hung. She alleged that n third party was Implica ted , and remarked mysteriously that if the police could ilnd him they would have the man who killed Spcurs. Officer Cuslck took up the clue , nnd yester day morning located the woman at nor homo , corner of Avcnuo A and Eighteenth street. She proved to bo an aunt of the suspected man , and her nauio is also Brown. A searching examination proved lhat she know nothing whatever about the case. The oftlcer was satisfied , when ho learned of the relationship , that the woman was not pos sessed of any information that woiild lead o any now developments in the case , still he continued his Investigations , -with the result stated. It transpires that her sympathy for icr nephew led her to declare that ho was innocent , and suffei ing for another's crime , wnllo In fact she know nothing whatever of the caso. The case now stands as hcretofora , with nothing to indicate the part others may tiavo played in the tragedy. Brown Is still in confinement , and the grand jury Is Investi gating the caso. The examination of wit nesses hus been going on for two days , and is not yet concluded. The New City Hall Site.

Ho ro- aorts Hading everything in a most promis ing condition , far exceeding even his most sanguine expectations. A good flow of oil was struck at a depth ot 215 foot , and the companies are only waiting for adequate facilities for transuortutiou to go deeper , and nro confident that they will strike- "gushers" that will rival the gro.it wells of Pennsylvania. The Held is very extensive , und Colonel Cook predicts that the result of tlio strike will be of great moment to the entire - tire western country. The assessment work for 18SO on tlio numerous quarter sections comprising the property of these two com panies has Just boon completed , nnd all is In readiness to proceed with the development of the fields as soon as the necessary rail road lines can bo built. Colonel Cook brought homo with him some very rich oil sand , which burns like coal , and oil experts say that it indicates a very rich Held and oil in unlimited quantities. As may bo sup posed , the stockholders nro Jubilant , and the indications are that Council Bluffs will shortly bo the homo of a score of second editions of the once famous Coal Oil Johnny , of Pittsburg. * J.

They Seem Able 10 Korctrll the Coin- Intt of an Earthquake. The lower animals nra said to bo greatly terrified by earthquakes , nnd their excitement beforehand is some times sulllciont to toll the event. No doubt they know well enough that something terrible is takingplace. . Prof. Milne , a student of volcanic phenomena , has recently given various instances of their behavior nt such times , says the Youth's Companion. During the Tokio earthquake of 1880 cats ran about the houses trying to escape ; foxes barked , and horses ut- tomuted to kick donvn the boards con fining them in their stables. In the Lisbon earthquake of 1740 i-onch and other fish in a eanul showed signs of confusion and fright , and fish have boon known , niter an earthquake , to rise to the surface dead nnd dying. Most interesting of all nro the obser vations showing that animals are dis turbed just before a shock. So well known is this fact that for a while after the great Cnlabrian earthquake , the neighing of a hpr.se or the cackling of a gooio was suillcieut to send the terrified inhabitants flying from their homos in expectation of another shock. Ponies have been known to prance about their stalls , pheasants to scream , and frogs to cease croaking a short time before ttio earth trembled. The Japanese say that moles show their agitation by burrow ing.Birds Birds hulo their heads beneath their wings , and act in an unubual manner. Sometimes immense Hocks of sea birds ily inland , as if alarmed by an oceanic disturbance. Bcforo the shock of 1885 in Chili , all the dogs are said to have escaped from the city of Talcahuano. The most probable explanation of this apparent foreknowledge is that animals are sensitive to thoslighttremors which precede nearly all earthquakes. More over , in volcanic districts poisonous gasses sometimes emanate from the ground , and animals are supposed to bo unpleasantly affected by them. SPECIAL NOTICES , COUNCIL BLUFFS.
