The spoctnclo of a man covered with blood and handcuffed being whirled rapidly through the streets in the pollco patrol wagon at tracted a good deal of attention last evening , The fellow was arrested by Officer Doyle in Lewis' stable , the old street cor barn on Broadway , whevo ho had taken refuge after having committed a murderous assault upon Mrs , William Bohniug , who keeps a little grocery and provision store at 012 Broadway , Her assailant gives the uamo of Ilarrj Hoffer , and says ho is a blacksinltti from DCS Molnes , la. Ho came tc this city Wednesday afternoon lookini ! for work and stopped at the North western house. Tuosi'ny evening , Mrs , J3ohulng says , ho came into her grocery nni purchased a box of sardines and some otlioi edibles Ho asked for a knlfo to open th < box and the woman handed him a largi butcher knife. As soon as tie got it in hi : possession ho flourished It In a ineuacini manner and walked out of the store , tnkliu it and his purchases with him without payini for them. Last evening ho returned am wanted to get something more In the coh victual line but was instantly recognized In the woman and asked to pay for the stuff hi bad already taken. Ho refused , and was work lug his way around behind tlio counter when it butcher's cleaver was lying. The womnt seized him and told her little daughter to rui out and call a policeman. The fellow draw i knife and began to viciously slash tin woman. Four or live deep cuts were in fllcted upon the back of her left hand am several on the loft side of her face. She holi lilm for u few seconds and screamed lustlli for help , but before she could attract uttoii tlou the follow broke away from her am escaped through the door.

THE NEWS IN THE BLUFFS , Justices Will Not Have So Much Revenue Ifrom Nebraska Hereafter , FEES ALREADY SENSIBLY DECREASED , Who Slinll Cnro for tlio Pnuncr Sick An Alleged "Ofllolnt Letter Box" J. W. Paul Losing Ilia Hand . Minor Mention. Thcro was n little attention attracted by the fact that the contest among the candi dates for Justices of the pence and their friends was u little moro bitter nnd spirited fhun even the great , light for congressman In this city during the Into election. Kacn of the six candidates hud their friends nt work early and late , and they worked hard nnd earnestly. When the ballots were counted the effects of this flcht were shown In the re markable variation iu the number of ballots cast for the various candidates , some running far ahead of their ticket and others falling sadly behind. It was presumed that the fight was duo to the anxiety of the candidates to get some pretty fat offices , for It was generally understood that the Justices' dockets in Coun cil Bluffs showed frequent entries of large nnd fat fees which mauo thorn about the best offices In the county. However this may have been In the past , it will not bo so In the future , foronn very Important source ot In- coma lias been lopped off by the Nebraska law prohibiting the trnnsfer'of accounts to Iowa collectors for gnmliilico purposes. The law has been In operation for some tlmo , but it is only within the last two mouths that It has been sensibly felt in the Council Bluffs Justices' olllccs. Up to September last the average number of garnishment cases brought into thcso courts by which the Nebraska creditors who cinched their delinquents amounted to twenty In .lustico Burnett's court and about the the same in the tribunals presided over by Scliuiv. and Hcndricks. Some months this average would bo largely exceeded , and It never fell short of that number. The avcr- ngo - amount of justice's nnd constable's fees In each enso would bo about $7.00. This would give a general aver age total of $150 per month realized alone from this class of business by each of the thrco Justices , or $4M a month paid by the Nebraska debtors as clear gain to the Council Bluffs Justices and constables. The Nebraska law hits cut this down to aremnrkablooxtent. Last month Burnett only had two of thcso foreign garnishment cases , and the other Jus tices had ahout-tho same number. This sudden nnd permanent elimination of from $ . " > to § 7 a day net cash profits has made the Justices' oftlccs not nonrly so profitable nnd desliablo as they , used to be , and the successful candidates who have carried on such a spirited campaign will not reap the harvests anticipated. However , the fees for the regular business make the offices quite profitable and a handsome living for the In cumbents. The overthrow of the foreign garnismont business in this city Is something that is not to bo'very much regretted , for It tins been the means of inflicting great nnd lasting hard ships upon many worthy men while Justly compelling others to pay their bills. It was chlolly used by Nebraska collectors against Union Pacific and Burlington rail way employes , and whether the debt was just or not they have ground the money from them and caused them the additional hard- snip of losing their places by the operation of the railway company's rules requiring the discharge of men whoso creditors garhisheo the companies. The local Justices bavo not exceeded their functional limits , but tlio Ne braska creditors and collectors have used them to the fullest and often to the crudest extent , and while they have made a few dollars lars from the business good men and the city itself have been made to suffer. The resilience of James McNaughton , 910 3d avo. , .will bo rented furnished for the winter cheap to a desirable party. MAKING TIU3 FUK FIjY.

Slinll AVomaii Vote ? This momentous question was being de cided all over the United States yesterday afternoon at a general election. There was perhaps not a city , hamlet or a village In all the broad land where the little whlto ballots with their bold'lettering "for" ' or "against" worn not Ilu'tterlni ? in the brcczo and being dropped by fair and homey hands Into the ballot boxes. While the election was genoraj not everybody was entitled to n vots. It was a general election held by the members of the Methodist church upon a proposition brought before the last general conference of the church held In Now York city In Mayaud arose over the application of two women from Nebraska to scats in the conference of lay delegates. They wcro regularly appointed oy the local conference and proaontcd their credentials in duo form , but their application was tin Innovation , and the matter had to bo settled by a general vote of the delegates of the conference. A somewhat exciting scene took place , nnd the cause of the ladies was defended nnd assailed by eloquent tongues. An effort was made to hnvethuin admitted on a point of law but it was finally de feated and the members of the con ference settled the matter for all time being by balloting. The result was the defeat of the ladles and they wcro denied admission as delegates. The action was urged as bolnc contrary to the spirit of the church times , and It was evident that It would ho n constantly recurring problem. It was believed the Indies In the church all over the land would not submit to the rul ing , and the general conference would .ho obliged to settle the question of admitting delegates at every meeting. A resolution was finally presented providing for n general election at which all members of the church over twenty-one years of ago and In good standing should bo entitled to a vote upon the proposition , "Shall women bo ad mitted as lay delegates to the electoral and general conferences of ttio Methodist cmireul" The resolution provided that the enaction should bo held In every church in the United States , and that there- should bo the freest possible expression of the desire of the Indies themselves , the male members nnd the minister. * . The resolution carried nnd the general election , yesterday was the result. The balloting by the members of the First Methodist church was held in the Masonic temple. The polls were open nt 1 o'clocic. It vas the most quiet and orderly election over eld in the city. The ladles , who were the iiterested parties , did not turn out nnd loctloncor like the men do. They lid not remain around the hall long inough after voting to get acquainted with , ho gentlemen who have been curtailing .heir privileges for all the years of the past. Thcro was no coffee booths , refreshments or my effort of any kind made to influence rotcrs. Ono cruet provision of the resolu- lon under which the election was held was , hnt which denied the young ladles who wcro not twenty-one the right to vote. The election was had under the super- Islon 'of a committee consisting of Mrs. L. W. Tullcys , Hov. Dr. T. McStuart , tlio new pastor , and Mr. J. II. McArthur. Printed ballots wcro used of which the following is a copy : "i''or ' the Admission of Women as Lay Delegates. " The polls closed at 0:30 : sharp last evening , nnd although there nro 750 members of the church who wcro entitled to vote , only sixty ol thorn took the trouble to cast their ballots. Of this number fifty-nine dropped an affirm ative ballot into the pasteboard box that stood In front of the committee on a little tablo. Ono person only had the courage to cast a negative vote , and that parson's name was charitably withheld from the reporters. The election iu the other Methodist churches was held last evening. J. G.

The Pauper Sick. The county board of supervisors yesterday considered the matter of caring for the slek and infirm paupers. There being no poorhouse - house or county hospital , It has been neces sary for seme time to provide for them at the : iospituls. The Sisters ot Mercy nt St. Ber nard's hospital nro well prepared to care for such cases , and the Woman's Christian as sociation hospital Is also provided with the necessary moans. There have been patients at both 'hospitals for whom the county had to pay. Yesterday the board decided to enter Into a contract with the sisters of St. Ber nard's hospital for caring tor all the sick and infirm who were paupers , the price to bo $ . > n week for the sick and § 3 for the aged and In firm. The contract was to he for thrco years. The women connected with the other hos pital were preparing to mnko a somewhat similar proposal to the board , but had de layed in appearing , thinking that there was plenty of time , as the board would be in ses sion all the week. They were surprised when they learned that the board had already decided to give all such cases to the other hospital. While there Is no feeling of rivalry or desire to pull against nu institution en gaged in the same line of charitable work , yet they felt tnat whatever public money was paid out for cases of need , it should ho divided somewhat equita bly. At the women's hospital there had been numerous charity cases sent there by the county , for which only $2 n week had been allowed , this pittance covering the ex pense of care and treatment , even in cases of severe illness. The ladles hurriedly gath ered their chief officials , and late In the after noon appeared bof ere the county boark. They entered a protest tgalnst the board entering into the proposed contract , and offered to care for the county's sick at $1 n week , a dollar lar a week less than the sum proposed for the Sisters. The board concluded to deliberate n little further before rushing into the con tract. Both hospitals merit nil the 'help and en couragement which private citizens and pub- lie ofllelals can give them. The care of the insane of the county has already been given to St. Bernard's hospital. It seems that in fairness the other hospital should not bo IK nored altogether. The women who have It in charge have undertaken to lift a heavj financial load and are doing a largo amount of work without any financial reward. Ir this respect it is similarly situated to St Bernard's hospltnl , which Is also under i financial strain. It Is said that some of the property owners Iu the vicinity of the W. C. A. hospital nr < incensed at the location of the hospital ii their vicinity , and that this influences hai been brought to bear Indirectly upon tin board to Induce It to avoid giving the hosnl tal any aid. It seems that this can hardly hi the case , for u much moro Jlcrco and opei opposition has been manifested against tin location of St. Bernard's hospital , espcclall ; in regard to the keeping of the insane there For boys' and children's suits durably made and at lowest prices , call at the Mode Clothing Co. _ The Manhattan sporting headquarters , 41 Broadway. 1HU1.

Ho did not know even whether the box thus advertised was a good ono or not , or whether It was cheap or 'dear , It seems that the scheme is nn Ingenious one to advcrtUo and sell some private box. Citizens nro therefore loft to exerciio their own Judgment the same ns In purchasing any -other commodity , nnd should not bo misled by thinking It is the only box in the market , and the ono the pur chase ot which w urged by the postofllco of ficials. The postoftlco department some tlmo ngo advertised for tlio cheapest and best devieo for n box of this kind. A largo number have been presented In this competition , and when n decision Is reached the box thus approved will doubtless bo put on the market , and the public will ho duly informed. Ills generally expected that this competition will bring out some form ot a box which will bo much cheaper , it not better , than those already hi the market. Many are delaying purchasing nny box until this decision Is reached. This may make tlio snlo of other good > boxes a lit tle slow , and load manufacturers to attempt to crowd sales before the now box appears. It Is possible that the trade name of the box thus-sought to bo sold Is called "ofllclal , " the same as It might bo called "safety" or "lldcllty" box , hut boron il this- Postmaster Troynor knows of no reason for calling It ofll- clal , for were it so ho would ha.io received duo notico.

Paul of Omaha Is not losing his faith in the future of Council Bluffs , but for some tlmo past lie has boon loslni ; his sand , and losing It at such a rate that it has bccoino a serious matter with him. It is not the "sand" that Is a common western pseudonym for courage , but It Is the sand "that Mr. Paul obtained when ho acquired title to a liu-co nnd valuable lot of real estate In this city , especially on some tracts of land lying on the river northwest of the city. There are some line sand banks there and they nro of easy access via a well traveled road. The land Is not fenced , but it is certainly private prop erty. For a long tlmo past Council Bluffs contractors have been hauling sand from this point , aud Iu fair weather during the building season , which lusts about all the year hero , there bavo been on an average of about llfty loads of sand hauled frcm Mr. Paul's each day. There is scarcely a building In the city that has not some of this sand in It. Contractors und private In dividuals have cone ihoro and taken it with out money ana without price , but recently Mr. Paul has concluded that if It is worth hauling It is worth paying for , and ho has taken stops to assertTlils proprietor } ' rights. The stops wcro 'tak'cn ' yesterday when his agent , .T. E. Hunt of this city , filed un Information mation in Justice Sch HNS' court charging Martin Williams nnd James Hughes with trespass. They have been hauling sand from the place and 1'nul concluded that they would do as well as anybody to make an example of. They were arrested and taken before the Justice yesterday afternoon but before the case was Uilcen up or definitely set for trial they took a change of , venue to Justice Bur nett. The case will bo heard some time next week , . provided thereIs any further prosecution. It is understood that Mr. Paul itoes not dojlro to prosecute , but only to prevent tlio wholesale anpropria- tlodof his land , which is constantly becom ing more valuable as building in the two cities progresses. On the other hand , the men nr- rested'ttro not willful trespasser * . 'They were only following a general movement when they took the sand. It Is probable there will he no further prosecutions and no further at tempts to luiul Mr. Paul's sandbars away.

"Art , " says n famous essayist , in defining lie term , "Is a priori capacity of distin guishing the beautiful from the ugly , the jrand from the grotcsiiuo. " And the dcflnl- ion Is so conclso that for all practical pur- wscs tt answers the Inquiry which you hear on every band , In the gallery of the Western \rt association : "Wlmtisartl" It is the "capacity of distinguishing the ) cautlful from the ugly. " Vet that capacity s modified .when ono remembers hat the work on the walls of the exhibition ms been done , not by men and women fit- nou.i in the art world , but by amateurs nostlj , who have had llltlo opportunity to mprovo the native talents which assert homsclvcs , willy nllly. And the more credit to the exhibitors who have gene on in the vork , laboring under many disadvantages , actuated by n common motive , the furtuer- ment of the nrtlstiu llfo of the metropolis. A dozen years ago the eastern press , and lartlculnrly the lljomry journals , wcro never ieotnlngly so happy save when they wcro say- ng something disparagingly of western ctil- uro , which comprehensively embraced all 'onus of litcmturo mid art. But those days lavegono by , and it is the west that Is giving o art centers the coming artists.In addition to idvnnccd thinkers in all brunches of educa tional life. And It is Just such associations as the ono now holding its third annual exhibition in the Lifo building which nro responsible for the higher Ideals that nro gradually turning vest ward the tide of enlightenment so grunh- cally foretold by Bishop Burkley in his "Star of .Empire. " Taken as a whole the exhibition Is worthy of the greatest praiseIt marks an era in our own small world from which must date the beginning of a moro elevated order of tilings. Ono feature of the exhibition , howoyer , will attract attention and cause considerable speculation , and that is the smallness of the yatcr color exhibit as compared with that of ast year. The excellent display last season gave brilliant promiseof a still greater ad vance , but somehow or other the artists who wcro devoting all their time and attention to iqnarellos last year are now found working n oils , and the number of water colors has diminished per consequence. "Tho practice of water color , however , and the public exhibitions and sales of water colors are comparatively now in America , and there are a good many people who , while they acknowledge ptho beauty of the paintings and their desirability as additions to collections of pictures often ask 'aro the colors permanent ! Cnn wo de pend upon their nut fading or changing us wo can in our sollu oil paintings ) ' " What a peculiar statement. The Aincrl- II people shy of the water color art because its productions may not bo permanent ? Who said that ! Messrs A. F. Billows ( deceased ) , William Hart , C. I' . Cranch , John M. Falconer and Gilbert Burling. When ! Twenty years igo when the American Society of Painters In Water Colors was In the lirst year of its existence. They formed the editing committee of n pamphlet of some thirteen pages which that society put forth in the Interest of tlio art to which they wcro devoted. They said in opening : "Tho formation during the past year of the American Society of Painters in Water Colors in Now York Is a now and important study among the artists : and the spirit with whlcliit has been carried forward may Justly bo regarded as a sign of great promise ot\ future excellence In this beautiful de partment of art. The enthusiasm with which this step has been greeted by a largo number of our painters , the unquestioned success of the first exhibition of water colors on the walls of the National academyandtho favor which the public has shown In the no tice bestowed upon tlio paintings , as well as In the purchase of many of them , tire certain ly encouraging facts to which it behooves the artists and the public to give a good deal of thought and attention. " What a chnngo since then 1 It is no longer necessary to bid for public recognition. The water color exhibition is rightfully placed alongside it ? more numerous but none the greater artistic neighbor , the oil exhibit , and it is found to bo as well up in ability as its sister. There is nothing more cheerful than a mod ern display of water colors , American at that. Not only from their surface lightness , clear ness and brilliancy , but because they scorn to htivo been produced \vith so little effort. They do not pivo evidence of having been worked over and tolled over , as is so often the case with an oil , till the poor author , de spondent at his 111 success , said : "O. . well , I'll leave well enough alone , " and signed his name to the c.mvna and sent it to the exhibi tion. On the contrary , the effect of a water color does not llo heavy upon one's moral faculties ; the artist tins seemed to sinllo or whistle as ho worked each step In the accom plishment of his purpose , which seems to nave been taken lightly. Ho has carried no weighty burden of. In decision as ho progressed and no heavy foot prints mark his course. Ho scorns to liayo been sure of every line , every brush stroke , every value , every tone. His work com pleted comes to un cud like "a fairy tale that is told" and he has laid away his colors with a chuckle of triumph , not a sigh. While the present water color exhibition Is not us largo as on previous years , it is , as a whole , just ns creditable. Coniliicd mostly to the women , it shows what a year's con scientious work will do among those who are by nature fitted to bo strongcrwatercolorista than the men. Although the Chases , the Iliploys , the Hamiltons. thaDarloys are rightly famous in this most delightful of all art studieibecause they haye gotten out of the conventionalities , they have cut loose from the environments of oil. Miss Shulzo has two little landscapes on display which show her artistic feelings to tin appreciable extent. Always conscientious , oven when slio is en gaged upon copy worlc.shoshowsa knowledge of color which , after all , Is ono of the great bug bears of the profession. Probably her best work in this department Is a landscape which has a faint twilight effect imparted to it , whether of mornfhg or night is a serious question for solution. The gray tone the ar tist has given to the subject seems to have been well considered before a brush was put to the canvas. It is pleasing and restful , Just what you would look for In a water color. The otherfanihcupi'ls done in green and thorough ly well handled. So well.Indeedthat you can not help but conclude that this is by far the better effort of the twobccau o Miss Selmlzo knows the relative value of given as a color. Miss Hosowater is represented by a study of panslos. They are exquisitely drawn , and have the bloom which the Master Imparts to the "heart's ease" so prettily named by the pool.

Mtxs Kosewntor bos had an excel lent art education and Is qulto capable ot doing both water and oil In n manner at euro worthy of the highest pralso and hcrstuAly of apples in artistic in the highest degree. Miss Hull la represented by a dozen or moro water colors , some of them exceedingly Rood. Two or thrco sketches of the bench nt Nantucket - tucket nnd Martha's "Vineyard show that they have been painted con ntnoro. They nro airy , bright , suggestive of the gladsoino vaca tion tlnys which wcrccnjoycd snlrtlngtho "an- linn breath" which Swinburne speaks about. Hut there will bo a divided opinion as to which Is her best work , whether It Is the sketch of ono of the daughters of Martha era a study of Concord grapes. Both show abil ity , but tlio work on the "Sea Nymph" is seemingly much stronger than that displayed la any of her other subjects , lint Miss Hall should studiously avoid the purples which so dominate her pictures. It is not n particu larly pretty color and requires n consummate knowledge of relation. Miss * Lynn Curtis , * ono ot the season's buds , who was a pupil nt Notre Dame , shows that she has some other knowledge above the latest dances nnd tlio Hinull talk of society. Her work Is modest , and on thntncwuntls worthy of great commendation. She dot's not attempt mposKlblo landscapes nnd marines , but tlnds her happiest vela in painting acorns , chest nuts , oak leaves , two or throe bonks and u very dainty study of the Virginia creeper. Appreciating the limitations of her art , Miss Uintla has done what n number of other am ateurs should have done , confined herself to her sphere rather tlinn make herself ridicu lous by essaying that which Is beyond her ability. Miss Harriet Ucrshy Is a new-comer to Uinaha , but two of her studios , hung Just below the line , for reasons qulto beyond ox- planntlon , nro far above the average in merit. Ono Is thollguro of a girl , whloh the urtl&t chooses td call "By Canillo Light , " nnd the other Is the tlguro of a boy. Both nro treated In a broad , uncon ventional manner , the drawing being iinrUcnlurly praiseworthy. Miss llershy knows art and will undoubtedly make a name for herself in the local world. Mrs. Catliu 1ms n very directive study of apples , the color nnd composition being quite charming. Miss Kthel Kv.ins has done some very beautiful work.

The rate of , ' cent a mile to parties of llfty and moro la borers going to work on the Union 1'aclllc ex tension between Portland , Ore. , and Tacoma , Wash. , is also withdrawn , for the reason , it is said , that ethers than laborers have been taking advantage of the cut.
