It Is almost u reitainty that thu ladies of the Women's Christian Temperance Union will be obliged to hc'cd the demand for a re- product inn of "The ( Jueen of Fame" enter tainment. The city physician reported a ease of diph theria at the le.sitk'iico of Thomas Corbet , corner of Avenue L and Ninth street. There are now but few cases in the city , and this is the lirst new one reported for a long time. There was no truth in the rumor circulated by several papers that the Tromont house had been closed by creditors. Tim house has been open for guests all the time since the present proprietors have Itad charge of It. A large and delightful audience witnessed the Young Men's Christian Association gym nasium exhibition in the opera house hist night Tin1 drills and exercises were very creditably performed under the diieetion of I'rof Dole. The Nonpareil has been filling column after column , scoring Alexander 'Casper for voting against the gambling ordinance. The fact is that Alderman Casper voted for the ordi nance , and yesterday the Nonpareil was ubllged to retract anil apologize , which U did us gracefully as possible. The Nonpareil will devote n column or two of its valuable space this morning to dis cussing the alleged misstalement of facts in Alderman Casper's interview in Tin : Bin : vestei day morning. It Is duo the alderman to state that a typographical on or , the sub- htiliitlon of a llgure U for a 7 , made him inis- btati tin1 Nonpareil's bid on the city printing , nnd this Is what it will rave about. .ludge Shims has sent to Deputv Federal Court Clerk Hunter his notice lefuslng the application for an Injunction restraining the county tieasurcrs from collecting taxes in Boone , \Velister and several other counties In northern Iowa. The application for the in junction was made at the recent term of the federal court , and was taken turner advise ment There are thousands of dollars in volved in the cas" . and the decision is of in terest to a large number of people. The award of the contract for the Cunning hill cut on thoChautauqua road to .1. F. Kelley - ley is said to bo the most advantageous con tract ever made by the city. The contract price for the work was ( l' ' < ; cents per cubic yard. This is for the cut only , and the con tractor gets nothing for the 1111. This Is the lowest ilguro that any similar work has ever been done for , and is considered by the other contractors iu the city as a pretty strong refutation of the charge that a combine has been organi/ed to keep up high prices. I'oltawuttuiiilo anility is t'iking special pains to provide for such old soldiers as are needy In most cases the assistance thus granted is worthily bestowed. There are two or three , however , who arc thus receiving aid , who ought to ho treated a little dilTcr- entlj , if possible. For instance , one old soldier who gets thirty or forty dollars u mouth pension , succeeds in hurriedly drinking up his money , and then lays down on the county. An effort should bo made to have a guardian appointed to see that his pension money is pi operly expended before the taxpayers' called upon for additional funds.

They also propose to pay the railway faro and expenses incident uiHin the transfer of the patients from the oilier institutions to this city. The contract is to 1)0 for n poi led of live years.

Motor I 'or Chautaiiiin. | The spirit of motor extension now seems to have fully aroused from its long sleep. It is looking towards and preparing to reach to the Chuutumntu grounds. Up to the middle of this week there seemed but very little cohesion among the property owners along Cunning street , and along the Chautauciua road , but there lias arisen a desire to open n route up Broadway anil over the hill through Walker and Ofllcer's land , through Mr. Olm- sti'd's and down by Sylvester's to intersec tion of Chautaiuiua road. The prperty own ers are enthusiastic and there is good reason to believe the required bonus can bo raised to put the work ttirough. It is reported that Messrs. Walker and Ofliccr are having 11 sur vey made to as. ertaiu grades and distances by the Hioadway route. In the meantime the citizens along the Madison street line and through the Joffcrls property are fur from being asleep. When they can hold three meetings a day and with lull houses , us reported , there seems a icit.soiuible expectation of successful issue. Surveying parties are reported out and heading for the Clmutauqua. litimora are abroad that the western rail roads centering in Omaha and Council IJlulIs have granted one-half faro to th" C'lmutiiuqim for tlie session of fhllO. It Is also hoped that the roads from the cast will do as well. If they do. then , with the motor line well equipped and running to the Chautiuiijua , a successful and prosperous season for Chan- tauqun and the twin cities is well assured.

An old man named Wilco\ , whoso gray hairs anil wrinkled face indicate him to be be- twcen sixty and seventy years of age , is eitnorsutieiing from a piinfiu hallucination or is a modern King Lear in humble life. Some time ago he furnished the cash to his daughter and her husband , George Weather- cull , lo purchase Ibo lease and furniture of the Scott house , on North Main street , and lived In the hotel with his children. The money required to make the purchase took all the old man had , but ho put full faith and confidence Iu his own flesh and blood and was contented and happy. On the Isth of April the daughter and son-in-law sold the property to the presenl proprietor , Mr. .1. S. Jordan , who paid the money to the old man's daugh ter , who claimed the proprietorship of overv- thlng. Thej told the old man they find rented a ten-room flat on Noith Fifteenth street in Omaha , and would move into It ami do a good business. Until they could get settled they desired the old man to remain at the Scott house- and jiald u week's board In advance . ' or him. The week expired and the old gen tleman went across the river to take up his abode with them at the new place. The most diligent search , however , failed to discover them , and ho learned they had left the citv for parts unknown. Ho came to the Scott 1 hursday night penniless and heart broken , and took a room for the night , but left atI n clock } csterday morning without paving his bill. He 1ms .since been wandering aimlessly alxmt the city , plteously inquiring for his children. lie is confident thev have deserted him , but it is iKwslblo ho has lost the address and cannot find the now place in Omaha.

The world Is filled with little wanderers , despite the work thnt Is being done In their behalf by thousands of Individuals and num erous charitable organisations. The Iowa auxiliary of the American aid society is 110111(7 ( u great work towards finding homes for the homeless little ones. It Is an organisation formed for that purpose , and to especially aid deserving young women In procuring an edu cation. It was- first organised under the laws of the state of Illinois in 18-C > , and Iu the year 18x3 Hie Iowa auxiliary was formed. The Idea Is to take homeless children and find them homes through agents of the associa tion us fur as possible from , the place where they were born or where they wore found. Tills wus Hrst done at n charge of $ T > for each child , but It was found that this sum did not cover the exp nso of the undortukhii ; and the fee now charged is jTiO , and even this is lee small in itself and has ' .to be supplemented by charitable contributions. In each town or place where the association works it has agents who look after the children who have been placed there , and no children are ever placed in n place where there are no agents. The president of tlie association in this state Is Hev. George 1C. Hoover of Davenport. Mr. Quivey has his headquartore in Osknloosa. During the time the association has been op erating in this state It has placed children In good homes in all parts of Iowa. The association and its work has been especially brought to the attention of the people of Council UlulTs bv the visit of Mr. E. P. Quigly of Fort Madison , who is one of tlie active ollieors and who is here now. lie was before the board of suporvisois yester day and the day before and explained the method of working. The association lias recently adopted u plan by which children that have become charges on the hands of the county officials in different parts of the state shall he taken by the association and placed in good homes for Ihe regular fee which is paid hy the county. Ho made a proposition thai the board should pass a resolution in- struetlng the county auditor to turn over to the assoc.alion or ils agenls any children which should become a charge on the county. He explained that this would cost the county about $ . " > ( ) and thai would be Iho end of the expense so far as the county was concerned. After considering the mailer for some lime the board agreed to accept the proposition and passed a resolution yesterday morning to that effect. At the present time there is only one little waif on the hands of Ihe county , and that is being cared for at u cost of $1.50 per week and tlie amount of its keeping has already exceeded * " > 0. The now arrangement will be a saving to Ihe countv and a blessing to the waifs. - - AVe want you to lisl your rental property with us and wo will secure you good , reliable tenants.

In the police court yesterday morning , among the foul smelling gang of bums , vagrants and thieves who bud passed the night in the city jail , which is perhaps not unappropriately termed the "city sower" by Ihe reporters , there stood a woman who face ! ) the young judge with an expression and air of utter abandon. She answered to the name of Mrs. Smith , and wa- . held to answer to the charge of vagrancy. She was about the age of the judge himself , and there wasu lime in her life when .she wus as handsome a girl us lie is a man. H was the lirst time she had been before him , and lie was disposed to treat her leniently , tint some of the court ofliwors whispered Ihe information lh.it she was an old offender und 1111 hubitual police court character , and after ga/ing on her besotted countenance for a few moments and endeavor ing to get a look into her bleary eyes and answers to his questions , he assessed a line of SlO.no , which means about a week's sojourn in the county jail , three day's of which will bo on bread and water. Tlie woman's history is a sad nnd fearful one , and the people of Council Bluffs who have known her for the past live years have seen her in the heights of her fume crowned with loveliness and purity and enjoying all that a noble womanhood deserves , und they have seen her , too , go down into Iho lowest depths of shame into which only a woman or an angel can full. The most wretched object among the crowd of wretches arraigned In the police court yesterday morning , she did not have enough of the ordinary sen o of shatno loft to prompt her to conceal her real niinto and prevent people recalling her former glory , purity and beauty. Tito name she gave is the name of the husband whom she lias dishonored , disgraced and driven from her forever. Six or .seven years ago she came to this city with her bush nul , who was u voung man of sterling character und line ability , with a bright future before him in the railway world. They were always noted as being the handsomest couple iu their set. She wus highly educated uud possessed of every huly-liko accomplish ment tlml endeured her lo her friends and made her welcome and popular everywhere. She was the daughter of u prominent Mis- sum ! clti/en and boasted of the proudest .southern blood. Her husband was connected \Tith the Northwestern railway system , part of the time as telegrapher , but afterwards in move responsible positions. The story of the woman's full is brief. She became addicted to strong drink through the use of tonic , and within tlireo years after coming to Council HliiITs had acquired an up- petitollml was ungovernable and insatiable. A child was born , but the curse the mother brought down upon herself blighted it , and it W.H a mental nnd physical wreck. Her lius- b.ind ni'ido ' every effort to reclaim her , but without avail. She dragged him down , and he lost situation after situation until finally he drifted uwuy altogether. For the past two years she bus been an outcast , going down ward step by step and plunging into every vice. Not a trace of her former beauty re mains , and the friends who loved and ad mired her a few ycirs : ago would pass her by unconscious ] } now. They could not believe Dint the wieti'hed Mrs. Smith who was sen tenced yesterday for uigr.iney was the lovely Mrs. Smith whom they were proud to claim is n friend a few years ago. But they are , and the end is not far awav. The I.n I'M ) n Charles Hanson and Albert Simmons , the voung men who committed the burglary at Chris Lai-son's store at ' .KIT South Main street , were arraigned before Justice Burnett yes terday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Two boxes , ontalning about * Ui ) ) worth of the goods stolen , mid found In their possession , were fully Identified in court by Lai-son , and when confronted by this evidence and asked to iletul the rascals held a whispered consulta- lou and then announced iheir Intention to waive examination. The Justice then bound hem over to await the action of the grand ury In the sum of * 1X ( ) . > . They could not mvo given u bond for 1UUO cents and were taken to the count } jail. From thu nature of the evidence against hem It Is evident they cannot cscui > o n good eng term in the penitentiary , unless they die or bieak Jull. There is between $ 100unif.HK ) vorth of the stolen goods yet to bo accounted for. The Superior Court Will Move. About May day , Ihe annual moving day of ill civilized creation , the superior court wlll ollow tlie general bent and move from the old city building Into the soulh room of the ounty court house. The efforts of the conn- U to make arrangcmcnls with the county ward for quarters In the same building and ho use of one of the vaults for the stomgo of ho records have not bceji crowned with sue- css. There is ) difference In the opinions tf the two bodies us to the amount of rent hat should bo paht and there is nut little probability that they will succeed In splitting the difference.

A telegnuu from lllnlr , Neb. , printed In yesterday's Hr.i ; , tells of tbo nt- teuipted suieldo at tlmt place of Viilllo War ner , a .sixteen-year-old girl. She la the young miss who was rescued from n life of shame In South Qumlui last Friday night by Marshal Muloncy. Here she went under the iiamo of Dolllo Warren and claimed to have made her lirst misstep only two weeks ago in rooms over Foley's saloon. Saturday night last she was tnken to her home from South Omaha by an old friend of her family. It was aftcrw'ards learned that she was older In sin than she admitted to the South Omaha ofllcers. Her arrest hero ami the unsavory notoriety It brought her was un doubtedly the cause of her attempt at suicide. During the gill's confinement in the South Omaha Jail last Saturday she asked Jailer An derson to get her some morphine , asserting tlmt she used it regularly to prevent epileptic llt.i. He wisely refused * to accede to her ro- iiuost , thinking at the time she wanted the drug for the purpose of ending her life. MNs Warner was pregnant and greatly feared the inevitable disgrace tlmt would follow the birth of an illegitimate child. Tin- Council Meeting. Three brand now couneilmen took a turn Thursday night at the management of South Omaha's city nffnlrs. They wore Conley , Dougherty and Howley. It WIB Into when business commenced. The minute hand on every tliuopieco In town that makes any pretentious to correctness was just crossing Sl"i : when Mayor Slo.me rapped. Every member was present. A p.iir of elbows reposed on every avnil.iblo place on police court railing. There was u fair crowd out to hear who the inuyor would appoint for the different ofllcos in his gift , but they went away unsatisfied , for like the letter that never came , the appointments failed to put In 1111 ap pearance. Tlie finance committee reported favorably on u number of bills , including those for elec tion expenses , und they were ordered paid. An ordinance establishing the grade of Twenty-fifth street from A to 1 .street wan read ami referred. Also one establishing the grade of Twenty-sixth from'A to J , and one establishing the grades of several streets in the Third ward. A petition was read from the property owners asking that the grade of Twenty-sec end between K nnd Q streets bo established. Al Keeiian , asked that he bo appointed to the position of street commissioner in cas that pftlcc is created. It went to the mayo , , for his consideration. Chief Malouey's ix-port of the work of the public force during Mirc.h . was lead and oidered filed. , The city engineer was instructed to confer with the city engineer of Omaha In regard to establishing the grade of Thirteenth street , between Missouri avenue and thu south limits of Omaha. Marshal Mahoney was instructed to repair n dangerous crossing over the Uurlinj.'ton tracks in tlie northwestern end of the city. Michael Haiiseu wus confirmed n regular policeman to fill the place made vacant by the resignation of ex-Captain Sexton. Councilman Melclier made u multitude of friends in Albright Sy introducing an ordunco for a sidewalk on Twentyfourth street , from Q. clear around to Seventeenth and D. streets. It went through in short order. The committee on viaducts , streets and alloys was instructed1 to take steps to have property owners sli > ] ) o the dangerous banks of earth abutting on the streets. The chief of police was instructed to .take stops to abate a dangerous nuisance In the shape of an un- garded well in the Third ward. Monday night the council will try it again.

Tom Montague , the policeman who does duty us night guardian of tlie L street viaduct , has but one arm. Thursday night he under took to arrest a oue-arined vagrant , named Duggan. Montague's left arm is but a stub ef the original member , while Uiiggan's right arm is iu the sumo condition.

II. Liteh field of Lon don , who is at the 'Grand Pacific , siys the Chicago Tribune , has reached this country after an extended trip through South America. "After examining the internal condi tion of Chili , " siid Mr. Litchlluhl , "I found it lo he no place for English emi grants. The agent general of coloniza tion for the Chilian government and his European agents Imvo formed a recruit ing agency to Kcouro British subjects for the little republic. 'Boom' circulars aic sent over all Great Britain , hy means of which many people arc induced to sail for South America. Those circulars , set forth that the waged of mechanics in Chili are from 'jli.ot ' ) to . ' ! a day , ami for laborers from j.'fO toM a month. They nssert that it costs nothing to live in that country , and that private residences worth 3tl ( ) ( ) , < lOO arc lee numerous to men tion. It is claimed that poverty is > un known in Chili , thnt the people live comfortably and get rich rapidly. "These ngcnU receive about $ .jO for every person under twelve yearn of ago or over landed in Chili. This is for the expense of the trip. Tlie emigrant pays the agent $10 on hooking , and on his arrival in Chili lie agrees to pay tlie gov ernment $ ot ( in two yearn. By this method the emigrant gets his pass-agc on the hire system and then pawiia him self to the Chilian government for the SoO. SoO."The "The rosy picture of the country ia glaring misrepresentation. Thu Chilian dollar is worth only about one-half as much as the United State dollar. Th- > palaces are merely mud house- . , import duties are ' -o high that a person can liny more in England for a shilling than for a dollar in Chili. JJc-atis and bread constitute - stituto the principal food. "Such is the condition of things found hy Englishmen who are tempte.l to a 'sunny land where it is as easy to find riches as to sleep. ' English , or AIIH.I-- ican workiiigmon , for that mat tor , should give Um-o South American stalls u wide berth.
