A prcnt deal of anxiety among the friends of William AUon , who have been searching for him for the past few days , was relieved yesterday mornlnK by the appearance of the gentleman himself. William has been working for J. F. Wilcor nnd on Saturday last ho went Into the woods tocutooil. . Several hours Inter hU coat nnd nxo were found bcsldu his untnstcd din ner. When night catno and no tidings had been received from him the bollof became fixed that ho had m some manner been mtulo the victim of foul play. Under this impres sion searching parties were organized nnd n largo portion of the country hns been scoured in search of the missing man.

The noBtnn Store , Council IlIulTs , AVunts No 1'rotcotloii Against Oiiiahit Compelitlnn. Being one of tno many firms in Council Bluffs alluded to uy the proprietor's of an OiiKihu store as dushing protection acnlnst competition , wo dcslro to icpell the uncalled for and utterly groundless intimation that Council Hluffs merchants have anything to fear from any hind of stialght , honorable business competition , whether it comes from Omaha , Chicago or any other place. Wo are not the party whom Hnyden Bros , referred to in their rcmarkablo statement , and who answered the thrust In .such n , spirited man ner yesterday morning , which was read with interest by all the readers of the dally papers , but wo dcslro to .speak in our ouri behalr. This being a free country , wo don't -caro who or how many Omaha merchants peddle their goods In Council Bluffs. Wo can com pete with any Omaha merchant In our lines , as the majority of our fellow merchants can and do every day in all other lines. Wo bnvo our regular Omaha patrons daily , who , know ing tnoy can save from 10 to " 0 pur cent at our store on the same clubs of goods sold by Omaha nicrchimts , embrace the opportunity of coming to the Boston store In Council Bluffs nnd making the bulk of their purchases. All the electric sticct cars pass our doors , and the rltlo from Omaha is a pleasant as well as profitable recreation. In the near future wo contemplate opening a branch of our store In Omaha , whore our trims-Missouri customers can get goods at the sumo prices as obtained in the Bluffs. Wo think such a brunch store would bo a great success , as in many lines of our goods uo would bo able to got better prices than wo can In Council Bluffs. Wo want to say a word or two about the Marshal Field & Co. chestnut. If this whole sale house , that makes a business of buying up Imnltrupt stocks nnd antiquated lines , really put the Omaha gentlemen under&o,000 ! bonds not to sell any of the Klsoman stock In Council Bluffs , wo want it distinctly under stood that it was not done for our benefit. The Boston Store requires no protection from that source. Bo buy the bulk or our goods from the manufacturer direct , gettingthem at the same prices that Mill-shall Field & Co. are obliged to pay , and wo give our customers the saving of a middleman's profit. If the Cmoago house magnanimously volunteered to protect some Council Bluffs house by nutting a big Omaha Him under such distressing ob ligations their victims deserve more sympa thy than the public will perhaps bo likely to extend.

Edmundson and Thomas Heft , twofarrn- ois residing south of the city , appeared in Justice Patton's court yesterday morning nnd wanted a warrant Issued for the arrest of "Colonel" W. H. Beck on a charge of car ry Ing concealed weapons. They stated that they vcro coining to the city on the Manawn rood , and when they were a short distance from the lake the } ' met Beck and another man in n buggy , going In an oppo site direction. They claimed that Ber.k was Just drunk enough to bo quai relsomo , and a dispute arose as to who had thu right to the road. Some words arose lietwean them , and finally when they attempted to pass his rig he pulled n revolver' from his pocket and threatened to shoot them full of holes. At the sight of the gun they decided to let the "colonel" have his way and contented ihom- selves with having the information sworn out.

The Coiinoll DlufTa Carpet Company HUH None of the Kispnmn s > took , and Never Advertised It. In justice to ourselves and all other Coun cil Bluffs merchants , wo deslro to correct n misleading statement published In all of the dally papers yesterday concerning tlio Else- man bankrupt stock of merchandise. A prominent Omaha merchant rushes Into print with the startling assertion that wo nro advertising the Klsoman stock of carpets , rugs , curtains , shades and draperies with the intention of mlalo.uling the imullc. This Is a strange sort of an error for an intelligent man to fall Into. AVe cheerfully assist In making thu correction ho desires so much to have made , 1. o. , to have the pub lic understand wo did not got any of the Kiscman stock. Wo innlco the statement hrondly and without qualification that wo illd not buy a dollar's worth of the Elseiimn bankrupt stock , or any other bankrupt stuff , and carry no second hand goods of any char acter. Wo buy nil our goods direct from the manufacturer , the latest styles , fresh from tha looms. The onlv thing wo did In the ad vertisement complained of was to contrast koine of our itiguliir , oveay-day-ln.tho-.ve.iriill round prices with the "marked up" Holaen figures. When their prices were "cut In two" our regular prices were still 10 to 15 percent lower than the "bankrupt bargains. If Mr , Holdcn marked up thu Eiscman prices for the purpose of "making a big cut , " it was not our fault. It is positively cruel to put Omaha mer chants under bonds not to compote with Council Bin Us prices , and Marshall Field ft Co. ought to bo ashamed of it.Voaianot \ under any bonds to protect anybody except the obligations put upon n first class house to protect the public against ovorclmrcos nnd to do a straight legitimate business. Wo are the larircst exclusive carpet house in the west anil wo will undertake not only to compote pete , but to do u good deal bettor than to du- jillcato Omaha prices on any and everything lu our lino.

A Olanco through tlio FlncHt Hninplo Itoom , llllllnrd I'.irlnr nnd Ol nr Stand hi tliocftt. . On next Saturday evening "Tho Colum bia , " the finest sntuplo room , mlltard parlor mm cigar stand in the west , In the fitting up of which Clco. Hudto lias spent n mint of money , will bo opened to the public. It la located at No. ! i3 Pearl street , next to the new Grand hotel. The work of rcmod- Ing the building has been going on for the p.wt two months , and the handsome cdlfico has been trans formed into n palace , and It will bo noted far nnd wldo as the finest plflco of the kind west of Chicago. Mr. Hiulio has had the chief re sponsibility of fitting up the palnco , and his wldo experience ) as a commercial traveler has eminently qualified him for the work. A short description of the interior of the establishment will not provo uninteresting. The room has been separated by massive and. handsomely carved oak partitions Into tlirco division : , the first of wlr.ch contains the ofllco of the proprietor and the finest cigar stand west of Chicago. The second division will bo tha sample room , anil the third will bo the billiard parlor. Mr. Hudlo's oillco Is a model ol beauty and neatness. A handsome - some bronze wlro partition makes It suffi ciently inclusive without obstructing the view. A line Brussels ciirpet ana the beauti ful bronzed safe , office desk anil com fortable easy chairs give It n particularly cozy and Inviting appearance. Hero Mr. Hutllo will receive and eutortaln his friends In his most ngrccablo mid affable stylo. In perfect keeping with the elaborate style of the office will be the cigar stand on the opposite side of the room , which will bo presided over t > v Messrs. Julius Ungcrnnd Ucnbcn Brown , two of tlio most ponular young men in the city. The cases , counter , etc. , are of OOK , hand carved , and no mere description of the beauty of Iho work can glvo a correct Idea of It. To bo thoroughly appreciated It must bo seen. The sample room in its furnishings completely eclipse anything over seen in this city. The massive oak bar , the line French plato glass mirrors and the beautiful paintings combine to form a picture most pleasing to the eye. Another thing In connection with this flno work which Is of public Importances the fact that all of the vood work Is the product of J. A. Murphy's ' factory In this city , and Is n , credit to Council Bluffs artists. Mr. Gcorgo Shir ley of Chicago will ho In charge of this de partment and the public will find him a most agrccabla gentleman , thoroughly accom plished in his lino. For the amusement of the public Mr. Hudlo , with an originality that does credit to one of the brightest men that over packed a grip , has put in n now and improved phonogtaph which will play some of the finest pieces of Ollmorc's baud , and will sing the latest songs , including "Annie Hoonoy , " "Johnnie , Get Your Hotchkiss , " and the "SweetByo and Bye , " Last but not least , not by n coed deal , comes the billiard room. The decorations and furnishings are like these of the otner two departments , strictly elegant. There are two billiard tables and a pool table , all new and as fine as Bruiiswlck-Collandcr & Co. can turn out. Air. James Anderson has control of this department , a fact that will add not a little to its popularity. Everybody knows Jim Anderson , and to say that ho Is a general favorite , is only expressing it mildly , Taken all In all , the Columbia is a decided success , nnd will no doubt bo n winner from the start. Every dollar's worth of material used In fitting it up was purchased and wrought in Council Bluffs. The place Is one la which citbens can take a pardonable pride and to which they can tuko visiting friends at any time with pleasure. Tni' place will bo opened for the benefit of the public , and it would bo something moro than asimple : outrage if fanaticism should assail it. It hns been lilted up in dofcrenco to u popular desire fora first-class place of rest for gentlemen , and is another indication that the tlmo has como when fanaticism should cease. There are few men who have done moro for the city In a poneral way than Mr. Hudlo. lie has been one of the most popular commercial travelers among the army who llvo In this city' IIo earnestly hopes the public will appreciate 1113 efforts and give him a fair show. X T the Man. Sheriff O'Connor ' of Palmyra , Marlon county , Missouri , was lu the city last even ing for the purpose of taking charge of a prisoner who ho had been notified was now in con linement in the city Jail. The prisoner re ferred tovas arrested a week ago last Tues day by Officer Crafts and Deputy Marshal Fowler , nnd is now serving n ten days' term on the streets on the charge of vagrancy. A day or two ago Marshal Tcmpleton received a card from Sheriff O'Connor offering a re ward of $30 for a man who had broken Jail at Palmyra on January 20 while under indict ment of the offenses of burglary and larceny. The man In confinement , who gave his name as William Ilagan , answered tlio description of the man who was wanted , and O'Connor was accordingly telegraphed to como on and get his man. When ho ai rived and took a look at the prisoner ho found that ho was not the ouo he wanted and loft for Missouri again last evening. Ho was some what disappointed to find that ho bad been to the trouble and expcnsu of n fruitless trip. IIo stated that the man ho Is after is a desperate character , anil a smooth ono as well , having escaped the clutches of two other officers bcsldo himself. IIo was there fore very anxious to got hold of him again The officers who made tro arrest were fully as disappointed as O'Connor , for the 50 * that tboy had hoped to sco the color of bv this tlmo is still in the pockets of the MU * sourl sheriff.

In connection with this announce mcnt it may not bo out of pl < : co to state thai a certain shrewd lawyer thinks ho has solvci the question of who is backing ur > Mr. brook in his warfare against saloons , It Is well known that the state temperance alll nnco , with hcaa quarters nt DCS Moincs has boon engaged In some work o this kind in various parts of ti state , notably at Carroll and Fort Dodgo. A few days ago a report was started from a source that stood very near the throne , to tin eiTect that Sioux City and Council Bluffi were to bo the next camping ground for the untl-saloonists. Tno work has already been commenced in Sioux City , but unless tin present warfare is backed up by the allluna the prediction Is sa yet unfilled as far O Council Bluffs Is concerned.

A financial dispute be tween factions is likely to bo ono of the features of the coming Irish struggle. When $ 10,000 , was released from the Icaguo fund , a month ago , $20,000 went to thecampnign com pany and $15,000 to the tenants dofcnso league , The McCarthyltcs say the latter sum was too much and , furthermore , contend that instead of being devoted to the evicted tenants , It was used to moot an over draft on the Hibernian bank. T. P. Gill declares that McCarthy must have known when ho signed the rclcaso that the fund set asldo for the tenants was heavily overdrawn. The McUarthyltes assert on the contrary that ho loft Bolopiio boliovlnp iho money was to bo devoted to the evicted tenants only. The question arise * whether thoio was a miscon ception at the conference , or whether O'Brien thought ho was acting within the lines of the agreement in adjusting the bank account. The McCarthyites InsUl on the declaration that the fund bo used for tenants. In an interview McCarthy denies the story of a liberal subsiity of fc.0,000 for his party. I'OL I TICS AS O JF.1 31 \K. .
