At Tuesday afternoon's session of the city council Alclnrman Lacy introduced a resolu tion that has created a breeze among the eon- tractors almost cyclonic In its proportions. His resolution wns so Innocent looking at the llrst glance that the other aldermen were In clined to regard it us a little bit of pleasantry. It was to the effect that the clerk be in structed to advertise in the Chicago papers for bids for city work hereafter , and especially for the gradini'and piving that Is to be let within the next , thirty days. But when the alderman from the Third explained that his resolution was aimed at a ring of contractors who , ho declared , hail formed n combine to keep up the cost of grading by all agreeing to bid higher than the work could be profitably done for , the resolution was observed to be no joke , especially as the combine M'as said to in clude all the grading contractors in the city , anil all other contractors who live chiefly on city M-orlc. With this understanding of the subject , whether the facts M-cre as reported or not. the aldermen passed the resolution , and if any enterprising Chicago dirt haulers want to earn an honest pctinv while M'aiting for the world's fair by coming to Council Bluffs and lllling up a few blocks they can have the op portunity of doing so. "There is a better foundation for Alderman Lucy's resolution than most people imagine. " said'a city official yesterday. "No sane man doubts that wo have not paid more than wo should for every alleged publlu improvement M-C have had. and there are contractors who have made duiiblo the money they should have received for their work. Take the grading ordered on Itenton street , for instance. The upper part of the street has been ordered cut down , and the lower part raised from two to live feet. The dirt from the cut will Just about make the till , and it can all be moved with a scraper with only one handling. You M-ill observe , If you note M-hcti that contract is lut. that the grading bills will specify from in to 'JO cents for the cut anil about the same for the 1111 , and the contractor will get from : il ) to10 cents a yard for handling dirt that costs positively less than ID cents. If the contractors are not in a combine why is it that - every time the council awar.ls this work there are a lot of citizens \vho rush in and give bonds and ask to bo permitted to do their own lllling. They always say they can do it cheaper than the contract price. If outside competition can correct this evil I think wo will all bo under obligations to Alderman Lacy. Conversations with prominent contractors show that the resolution has awakened agreat deal of feeling. They indignantly repudiate the insinuation that there is n combination to keep up prices to the highest possible notch , and claim there is small profit in the woik at the present prices. ljudic.s !

The general overhauling the city jail has received - - ceived has resulted in a discovery. In the attic of the tower an unoccupied space nearly ten feet square has been found. It had been built for an official atalier or a policeman's eyrie , where the weary officers might look down upon the turbulent city. Uut ntiillers and eyries are not useful to the present busy city administration , and another use was feu lid for the vacant space yesterday. A large part of the city records could bo stored there. By actual measurement the space would hold just a cord of the records and val uable papers , and the trumps and other mem bers of the chain gang were set to work to carry the papcra up there. The space was about Illled last evening , and they were pro tected as well as possible with a few boards on top and an old set of bin ness. As the al titude is very great it may b > so1 , oral days be fore the mice discover the lovely place that has been provided for their nests. The necessity for storing valuable city rec ords and papers in such a place is lamentable , and should have been removed some time ago by the construction of the proper vaults that would ho 11 i-o and vermin proof. The records stowed away in tlio attic arc exposed to uhalf dozen different methods of destruction , but under the circumstances it was about the only provision that could IKJ made for them. It will afford a now iiillving cry for the people who demand a new city hull. Send your soiled clothes to the Cascade laundry company. Prompt delivery. Tele phone U'JO.

L-.iter developments In the Glenwood burg lary case , wlicm n largo lot of knives anil other property was taken and disposed of In Council Bluffs , show that CSeorge Ciurap.ic.liei' has been altogether wrongfully charged will ) guilty knowledge of it. The only evidence against him and his partner , Charlie Sulli van , at the start was the fact that a portion of the knives were found In their saloon on Lower Broadway a few days after the burg lary was committed. Tlio explanation given nt the time was that the knives were loft there bo two strangers , whom both Ger- spaehcr and Sullivan necur.ltely described , but the strange charge of burglary was lodged against both men. and they were taken to ( ilonwood , where they waived examination and were released on'hall. Throughout the entire transaction ( icrspacher and Sullivan did not take the course guilty men would have taken. The knives were laid out in plain view , and it is reported that some of them were even presented to the police. When the hoys returned from Mills county they set to work to do what the officers should have done before , find the men who left the stolen property there. This they have suc ceeded In doing , and both of them have been landed In the county Jail through their efforts. On Tuesday afternoon Sullivan saw the two fellows on the streets in this city and recognized them , but before he could tlnd an oflleer they stepped on a motor train and skipped across the river. He imparted his information to ( Jerspacher , and the two spent the day in Omaha hunting them up with po lice assistance. They succeeded after a good deal of work in finding them in the criminal haunts across the river and put them nuclei ; arrest. Yesterday morning they were brought over and lodged in the county Jail. They gave the names of .1 mncs Donnelly and James Wilson. Their appearance is Unit of professional crooks , which is verified by the statement of Wilson that he can prove nn alibi by showing that at the time of the bur glary In Glenwood ho was in the county jail in Omaha. They admit having left the knives in Gcrspuchcr's place , but refuse to say how they came into their possession. Gerspacher and Sullivan can also show as mi additional vindication that they were in the city and in their place of business on the date of the Mills county burglary. These developments are a complete justifi cation HO far as Gorspaeher is concerned mid ho deserves n little praise rather thun any censure for the part ho took in the case. o Di1 * .

A novel case , that has some elements of in terest in it for the fellows whoso wives llnd good excuse for leaving them , was filed in Justice HendrickV court yesterday. The plaintiff is Mrs. Nancy Brown and the de fendant is Mr. Herman Brooks. She sues Brooks for $50 for the board and care of his wife during a period of eight weeks. For cause of action she alleges in her petition that Brooks' wife was compelled to leave him owing to his bnltul conduct and inhuman cruelty , and after leaving her husband she was homeless and destitute , but found a safe haven , a homo and a kind friend in Mrs. Brown. She boarded with the lady for a period of eight weeks , and during that time fell ill and required Mrs. Brown's constant euro and a great deal of medicine. The peti tion livers that the euro and medicine were worth $24 inffl the board S-l a week , but she only asks fc ! ( ! for the board. She avers that defendant Brooks is amply able to provide fcr his wife and to pay for her euro and keep ing during the past eight weeks , and asks the court for an execution against his property to satisfy this demand. * " The case will ho heard on the llth inst.

All the Micks are kept tngothni1 111 a deep , round box , and certain ones are marked on the lower end with a Chinese dim-actor or number. The ones who select those chopsticks from the box nro entitled to an extra disli or jiin'tlon ' without charge. In the old city of Tien-Tsin , particularly , ono IH half deafened when ho passes a restaurant by the rattling oftho iwxcsof chopsticks and tho' hlirtll voices of the iironriotors h-creoehing the merits of Mhelr establishments at the toj ) of their lungs. 4. In Japan , whtu'o exquisite neatness and daintiness mark every part of house hold living , tlio. same chop-sticks aroused used only once. At a feast , or at an ordinary tca-honpc , a long paper envelope laid hosjd j one's bowl contains a paper of twelve-inch sticks no thicker Hum lead pencils , whittled from clean white pine. To tdiow that they have never boon used the two hticlis are whittled litonu piece and split apart only half their length.

The Tcherkess Is not a fanat ic , but lie is a gre'at fatalist ; and now In is hi the Russian servlco lie attacks with tlio same ruthless ardor and bloodthlstl- ness the Mussulman with whom thirty years ago he used to fight hide by Hide against the Russians. He always bonks to attack his enemy on tlio sly , but when ho does not succeed in surprising him , lie dushes upmi him and displays prodigious courage.

All the Tchorkess games and dances are of a warlike nature. Ono ol the most picturesque sights you can im agine is a Tckorkess fete , when these tall , dark-skinned men , handsome and muscular , with their swords and poniards drawn , execute their favorite dance , the Lesginka , around a lire , which with , its red glare , lights up llioir strong features and illumines the surrounding woods and voces. A favorite game is to leap on hot's back over the lire when the llamo is at its highest. All the natives of the Caucasus carry arms up to the present day , and tlio Rus sian . government limit ) it prudent not to interfere with this usage. Still it must appear strange to one who travels for the first time in the Caucasus to llnd himself surrodnded by people who are all armed to the teeth. ' Doubtless the Caucasus is pacified , but traveling there is not completely safe. Tlio Ta- tares and Kurds in southern Caucasus , and the Jangouehes in the northern districts , often indulge in brigandage. In European warfare the Tcherkef-ses are very useful on outpost duty and as skirmishers. Even in open battle they can make very successful charges. In tlie last Turkish campaign it hap pened once that a trench occupied by a battalion of infantry , but the deadly lire prevented them from reaching the intrenchments , order was given to the Jangoueho militia to mount to th6 at tack. they simply dashed upon tlio en emy like a hurricane , leaped over the defenses and massacred tlie Turks inside A Sore Throat or Cough , if suffered to progress , often results in an incurable throat orbing trouble.

SPOIMNG A UANCIIHU'S I-'UN. Availing Cor Yeiirs to Get Jlls Work in on the Itcd Skins. On ono oceasjsn when witli the govern ment survey party in Texas , a man rode into our camp on a mule and gave us Uio news that a band of Indians had at tacked a rancher about seven miles away , says the New York Sun. Wo made up a party of twelve soldiers and civilians and coVered the distance as fast as our hor.ses could go. Sure enough there wore lifteen or twenty Indians be sieging a cabin and they were ju t get ting ready to set lire to it by backing up a wagon loaded with hay. We got two of them and captured six ponies and .tho others were not yet out of sight when the settler opened his door and stepped out , followed by his wife. He had a rillo and she a sholgun , and the llrat words tlie man spoke were : 'Now , you dog-goned oaery lot , but what does this 'ere mean ? Who in - are you'uns , and what brought you lieroV" "Why , man , " said our captain , "wo come from our camp seven miles- away to save you. " "Save h 1" roared the man ; who axed fur any of your hclpV' ' "Yes , pint him out to me ! ' ' added his wife. "Why , a' settler rode in on a mule and wild you were attacked , and , of course , we came to your help. " "Well , dot rot you , you hev spilt all the fun. We've been wiiitin' right yore fur live vears to hev them Iniuns-how up , and we'd just got "em red hot fur fun , when you had to. cum clmrgin' up an' scatter 'em olTl It was dead wrong on mo and Nance.1 "Von bet , Sam , dead wrong1 ! s > ho added. "Why , you'd have been burned out in ten minutes morel' ' exclaimed the amu/ed captain. "Wo would , eh ? In the first place that hay is blill wet from the rain. In tlio next place , I drawed out tlio axle- pins , an ovei v wheel would hev run on" in backing to'n feet. In the last place wo jist wanted to git the crowd in range , and then sweep 'em with the old swivel 1'vo had mounted back yore fur over two years. I reckon you meant right 'null' , but it was dead wrong on mo and Nance , and after this I ' 11 thank ye to mind yer bl/.ness. Them Injuns Is gone , and' the Lord only knows when another gang will cum along. ' And the pair picked up their hoes and went to work in the corn-patch with out giving us another word or look.
