NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Work That is Going on in the High School These Cold Days.

It is a long , html climb up Hl h school hill , especially when the pith Is eoverod with Ice as smooth as glass anl a howling northwest wind threatens to carry the climber ofT to tropical cllmas In its embrace. And yet the weather seems to hnvo no bail effects the spirits an J cnerirlcs of the 303 pupils that dally receive instruction within the walls of the old brick bull \\n-f \ \ tint com mands a view of so many miles in almost every tlln'otlon. The High school Is In a better eon iitinn toiy thin It his ever bcn : before , thanks to the harJ and persl. te-t la bors of the supsrlntcn lent , prinilpil , and the corps of teachers. The wonderful In crease In the attendance , almost double what it was two years ago , Is a gooJ indica tion of the Increase In Interest on the purl of the pupils. It 1ms hocn found necessary to use the whole building for the IHih school department alone , ami the smaller rooms that were at one time used by the- classes of the grammar pr.ulcs are now used us recitation rooms , laboratories and the like. like.Tho The i-orps of teachers , together with the department ! !

This course has been or anl/ed only i little over a year , and yet It is ono of the most important factors in the growth of the Utendancc. Thcro was a great deal of trouble formerly caused by the dropping out of pupils after they had come to within thrco or four years of the clrse of their course , it ipparontly being their idea that all time spent in school after they were H years of ago was so much time wasted. To prevent this Llie business course of two years wasstartcd. Typewriting , stenography and bookkeeping \ro the branches taught , and under Miss Uowkcr's instruction the pupils are given as ilrm a foundation in the business line as the other pupils receive in the literary branches : aught in the four year classical and KIIR- Ish couts"s. A great many who could other wise drop out of school are thus induced to stay and graduate , and a number who had ilready stopped have returned. Prof. Eastman's department Is provided with well-equipped laboratories , although he hopes to make a large increase in the amount of apparatus from time to time , as often as the purse strings of the school board relax. The laboratories are now lltted out with an electric dynamo , air pump , hydraulic pump and other valuable instru ments , and the text book is made an entirely secondary matter in studj ing the scientific uram lies. All the Instruction is carried on by means of actual experiments , performed by the pupils themselves , and bv this system a practical knowledge of the subjects taught is imparted which could never be gained by studying the book. Dels irtc unil Dlil ictlcs. The department of physical culture Is meeting with a great deal of success. The pupils are put through systematic exercises every day , according to the principles of Dclsarto , and the training cannot but be of great benefit. Superintendent Sawyer has a class in didactics twice a week In the upper classes , and the graduates , many of'whom hope to get positions In the city schools , are thus enabled to startjstit with a valuable knowl edge of the theory and practice of teaching. The whole force of teachers is working smoothly and earnestly , and each one seems to bo doing everything possible to advance the interests of the schooli and raise the standard of education in Council Bluffs.

"Observer" Kcvle\v the History of tlio Uoul With the Company. COUNCIL BLITFS , la. . Fob. 14. To the Editor of THE BEE : Certain of the couu- cilinen say that the reason why no forfeit ure under section 7 of the ordinance of 1SSO has been declared Is that the motor com pany has given the city nnd the citizens all that was expected or contracted for and that the forfeiture , if It Is allowable at all , must bo upon merely technical grounds. Wo must assume that these gentlemen arc mak ing this statement in good faith and really believe what they declare. But In making these statements they are In great error. Section T of the ordinance declares that failure of said company to complete the lay Ing down and equipment of the street ral1- way track and-construction of said bridge within the time provided In the ordinance shall operate as a full forfeiture of all right of the company to receive or have paid over to It any part of the tax voted. The people of Council Bluffs and the city council Iu that time surely meant what they said. The motor company on oath declares to the city's face that it never Old build that railway track ; that it has never done any of the things that ordinance exacted from it ; that It never intended to do nny of those things and that all the pretenses made through these years upon which city and citizens have acted to their hurt were made to deceive and for no other purpose In the world. licnellts of I'ubllc Concession * . Let us sco how wo were all deceived. It was the motor company that Induced the city to expend many thousands of dollars in grading and paving Broadway to the bridge. That investment by Council B'uiTs ' brought thousands of dollars to the till of the motor company ; for , after that paving was done all traffic with Omaha was done over this bridge , though It went to the Omaha depots , to which the Union Pacific bridge was much more convenient. It was the motor com pany that Induced the city council to allow change of route from Broadway to Avenue A , and It was the motor company's known solvency that Induced the city to lie quiet while fl.OOfl worth of its earth was appro priated for the motor bed. The motor com pany never disabused official or citizen of that Idea until , as It supposed , and probably Is thu case , the statute of limitations had fully run against the street railway com pany , which , on oath , is now said to have been that trespasser. When f4,000 is taken from the public treasury through means like that , have the public and the city received the consideration contemplated by the ordi nance ofISfeG ? In reliance on that ordinance nnd the pro fessions of the motor company under it , the city allowed Its streets to be torn up while the tracks were being laid. Payment was refused. After the statute o' limitations has run against the street railway company even if solvent , we are told that the motor company built no track and consequently quently tore up no streets. Nearly fS.MX ) besides interest the city is out In these two Items alone. Is that what the people bar gained for in voting the tax ( \VIio Ilullt the Line ? But the motor company was often before the city council requesting this or that favor In the matter of the construction of its rail way. All the materials that built bridge and track came as the materials of the motor company. The tax was receipted for by the officers of the motor company. These offi cials induced the city council to certify that the motor company had built Us road and bridge us required by the statute and the ordinance. Without such certificate they could not have secured the tax from the county treasurer , ( for the law exacts that it should bo paid only when so certified , The company In writ ing accepted the ordinance of IW ; It secured the release from residents of Madi son. Pierce and upper Broadway of claims for damages and for paving In consideration of its building and operating a street railway thcro. These instruments were then re corded. Is it wonderful that the city oHlcIals should suppose the road to bo built by the people who were securing concessions nnd who were apparently doing the work ? They did so think and assessed the pav ing tax to the motor company. ThU amounts to miny thousands of dollars ; ? l",000 of that paving tax Is now delinquent. The motor company1 did not build the road ; It need not pay. The street railway Is not assessed ; It therefore cannot bo compelled to pay. But the bon'ls of the city are out ; we are paying the banks' Inter est on them today and a heavier assessment must be made upon the property of every taxpayer In the city to meet that deficit. Is this what the people and the city con templated In voting the taxi In Icnornnco I'.ncmiililc ? The mayor and the council say they arc not acquainted with the facts ; that these occur rences all took place before they were elected. Why are they Icuorant of what all other people know ? Why. If they do not know , do they not inquire and learn J If they are so dull and do not know what to do. why are their resignations not handed In that the people may fill their places with men better informed I Why do wo sec no forfeitures declared !

Mrs. Biggs Xo. 2 was very anxious 'to have the spirit of Mrs. Biggs No. 1 brought Into court and sworn with a view to ascertaining Just how much of n share It had had in determin ing whom Mr. Biggs should favor in his will , hut as such a tnmg seemed to be out of the question she had to content herself with swearing a number of people who had been present at interviews between the spirit and Mr. Biggs before his death. Mrs. Wicks , a medium , stated that at a se.inco which she had conducted Mrs. Bigjrs had been materialized and a conversation had ensued between the spirit and Its former husband , in the course of which the spirit assured Mr. Biggs that it was glad he had gotten a wcrr.ah to iook after him in his old age. age.Henry Faul. another witness , wanted it distinctly understood that he was not a spiritualist , although he had gone to several seances with his wife , who was a member of that sect. A lively tilt took place between him and the attorney for the plaintiff as the result of an impression he had that the at torney was accusing him of what his wife- did. He said he had been present when the spirit shook hands with Mr. Biggs. Mrs. Shoemaker , who had worked for the Blegs family , had seen similar things , but none of the witnesses would s-iy that at any of thcsu interviews Mrs. Biggs' ghost had expressed a wish as to who should get her husband's property.

LOVERS OF DOGS. Kernel Club Looking Torn-aril to Another ISeurli Show. The Omaha Kennel club held its annual meeting last night. The treasurer's report showed a deficiency of SttO which had been caused by citizens falling to pay prizes they had guaranteed at the recent bench show. The money was raised and all outstanding bills against the club will be paid at once. Considerable time was taken up In the discussion of the bill now before the legisla ture , which provides that dogs shall bo con sidered and classed as property. Represen tative Ames nas succeeded in having the bill endorsed by the house committee , and the governor has indicated that he will sign it If passed. For the success of future bench shows In Omaha it is necessary that the bill become a law , otherwise the owners of valuable dogs will not send their animals hero again nnd run the chances of having them taken away or stolen , leaving them no recourse by law to cither recover the dog or Its value. Should the bill pass many more eastern owners of kennels will enter their animals at the next bench show. The election of officers resulted as follows : President. John T. Evans ; vice president. Dr. J. C. Whinnery ; recording secretary. E. L. Marston : financial secretary. Charles F. Frcnzer ; treasurer , C. W. Waterman. Ad ditional directors. J. H. McTague , Dr. Rich ard Ebbitt , Peter F.
