The ladies of the Congregational church pave an lOaster festival last evening in the parlors of the church. Ono of the enjoyable features of the entertainment was the pro- pram of musical selections by the High School orchestra. Supper was served to a largo number , and a handsome sum was realized from the sale of fancy articles and homo made candles. John W. Duncan of Hamburg was brought up before Judge Woolson yesterday morning for a sentence on the , charge of sending an obscene loiter through the mails , to a woman living in Nebraska City. Although the letter was certainly very spicy his offense- was not of a very aggravated nature. Ho was lined { 700 , but $ (170 ( of the amount was suspended und bo was discharged on the payment of 30. 30.James James Smith and H. haulcrbach were ar rested last evening for trying to bo unduly Boclablo with the girls in the laundry at the Union Pnciilo transfer.

Ofllcer Quinn nabbed them and sent them to the city jail , where they were booked with disturbing the peace. An effort Is being made by some of the fi lends of W.V. . Bilgcr's family to effect a compromise with Ills creditors and thus ena ble him to return homo. It Is Impossible to loll what the outcome will be , but some of these who hold specimens of Bilgcr's pen manship liavo expressed a willingness to part with them on a very cheap cash basis , and it Is believed that the attempt will re sult in Hilgor's return from exllo. The spiritualists of Omaha have rented the hall In Continental block , corner of Fifteenth and Douglas , which has elevator ronvenlcnces. Today they celebrate tl.o forty-eighth anniversary of modern spiritual ism.

The bids which were ad vertised for were opened last Thursday evening , but no definite decision was ar rived at. Colonel Cochran has made the commissioners a proposition which is re garded v ; ry favorably by them. Considerable apprehension is being felt by some of the old soldiers lest the Sons of Veterans forgot that the state encampment of the order Is to bo hold in this city in about three months. A communication li.is been received by Tin : UEK in which it is stated that the president of the lo.-al oamp has been unable to get a qv.orum together for a number of weeks. No arrangements have as yet been made to entertain the dele gates or to provide accommodations for them , and it is feared that unless the members of the camp bestir themselves the encampment will bo a grand ilzzlo. The Union Pacille Hallway company has made the city a proposition with reference to the payment of the taxes which are de linquent for the years Ib'Jl and isyj. The taxes of 1SIH arc now in court , the company having fought the n Russiiiunt of $10. iOUO on the ground that it was too high. The penalty on the taxes of that year now amounts to about $1.000. The amount duo for the two years Is i0,000 : ? , and the Union P.icillc has agreed to pay It in full if the city will throw Oil' the penalty. Some action with refer ence to the proposition will probably be taken tomorrow evening. I'KIISOX.tl. t'.tlt.HIH.ll'IIH. Mrs. U. M. Dodge and Mrs. H. 13.

Plans Adopted for Drllllni ; .School Pupils In Systematic ( iood Heading. The public schools of Council liluffs have been enrolled in the list of schools in which branches of the Iowa Pupils' Heading circle have been organized. This organization is the result of a systematic effort that is now being made to improve the quality of the reading done by tho-pupils of the schools. The only pledge required from pupils who undertake the course of reading laid down in the prospectus Is that they will read at least one book a year , that book being the ono selected by the state board. This board Is composed of W. A. Doran of Montlcello , Georgia Warwick of DCS Monies , J , T. Mer rill of Cedar Kapids , J. M do Armond of Davenport and George I. Miller , secretary , of Uoone. The books laid down in the corn-so are as follows : "Friends in Feathers in Fur , " "Grandfather's Stories , " "Familiar Animals and Tlu-ir Wild Kindred , " "Eggleston's First I5ook in American History , " "Llving Crea tures of Land , Water and Air , " Stories of Other Lands' " "Some Neighbors with Claws and Hoofs , " "Ten Great Events in History. " The llrst book Is Intended for pupils of the second year , or the second reader grade , and the course advances steadily , ono book each year , until the last one of the series , which is for the ninth year or preparatory High school grade. Superintendent Sawyer has examined all the books and states that ho considers them admirably adapted for the pupils , being not only elevating , but interest ing , and ho thinks the co-operation of the parents in the scheme will result in a great improvement In the quality of the books read and enjoyed by the pupils who undertake the course. . These who complete the course will be entitled to a certificate of completion. The ( iraud's Now Dining ICooin.

Byors' now bhco store at the stand formerly occupied by F. II. Evans on HroudxMiy. It was simply impobsiblo for the manufacturers "to make the quantity and character of goods that Mr. Hyerw required in tlio short time demanded , and rather than open with an incomplete line it was deemed best to postpone the opening until about April 10. Then look out for a stock of bright now goods from the best makers in the world , a stock that will give every class of trade everything demanded in foot wear , und tit prices well , just wait und PCO what it meansto , buy u big stuck at one clip from ' ( ho factories.

Tno ot lit r.nlurprlfttni : Cltl/cm IXuhlMi Ihn ( Jcioiiin llomrdy Company on tin1'aolllc Cimxt. Mr. George .T. Crane has returned from the I'ai'lllc coast and will remain here a week or so < "lth bis family. lie is o well known hero as a simon-pure rustler and has been HO prominently connected with various' business , enter prises that it will bo no surprising an- iiouiiremint to his many friends that the Mime marvelous success is attending him in his new enterprise us lias marked his career here. With him is associated another well known Council Ululllte , 1) . F. 1' . Hellinger. who during his resi dence here gained the reputation of being one of the most skillful surgeons and successful physicians in this part of the west. Uoth these gentlemen are so well known that many will learn with interest MHIIO of the details of the wonderful onterprUo in which they arc now engaged and which is reaching such extensive proportions as to natur ally cause their old friends here to re gret that the headquarters of their com pany is located at Seattle , instead of Council HlulTs. There is an interesting bit of romance in the history back of the enterprise. Years ago there died in one of the lead ing cities of Europe an aged physician , who bcqiicatc'l to his three s'-ns u sealed packet containing a secret which he had closely kept , though ho hud given the benefit of it to many whom he hud re deemed from a life of misery. His will provided that this secret should bo sold to the ono of his sons , all of whom were physicians , who bid the most for it , and the proceeds should be divided among them. The successful bidder wits none other than Dr. F. I' . Hcllingcr , and tills was the principal part of the fortune with which ho came to the United States. The secret was a formula of a remedy .which its discoverer had been using to cure delirium treiiiens at his private hospital with wonderful success for over half a century. Dr. Hellinger has brought his scientific skill to bear upon his formula and from it has evolved a remedy which cures the terrible mor phine habit as effectually and perma nently as it does the whisky habit. The history of the tests and experi ments is u lengthy ono , but its result was the establishment of proofs so con vincing that the most rigid examination of experts has simply caused them to become enthusiastic endorsers of the method. So remarkable were the cures elTcctcd , es pecially of morphine victims , that ROV- eral wealthy business men ar.d capital ists , after due investigation , joined Dr. Hellinger and Mr. I'Kiiio in the organ ization of a company , showing their con fidence by making the paid-up stock $1.000,000. The incorporatorsand olllcers of what is gaining a national reputation as the Hellinger German Remedy company are : President , .lame's A. Moore ; vice president and general manager , George .1. Crane : treasurer , Angus Mclntosh : see- rotary , C. G. Austin ; attorney and audi tor. Ira ID. Hronson ; medical director , Dr. F. 1' . Hellinger. The company has established its headquarters in Scuttle , nnd is now establishing institutes in various parts of the country , selling to local companies tlio state control of the remedies. The homo institute at Seattle will have a capacity of curing for GOO to 800 patients. Besides this the institution is preparing medicine for the use of the oilier institutes , and is already arrang ing its lalni-utorips for the manufacture of $2,000,000 worth of medicine a year. The German remedy takes rank as tlio oldest cure for the liquor habit , so that to quote Mr. Crane , "Wo are no imita tors or followers of others. " The remedy is composed purely of vegetable com pounds and its oflieioncy is such that the company has had no occasion to spend money in advertising , the wonderful cures of the patients making them so enthusiastic that they have themselves spread the glad tidings so that the busi ness has increased as rapidly as it could bo taken care of. The remedy for morphine has really created a senfcation , because while there are numerous liquor cures all clamoring for recognition , this remedy for morphine is so strikingly successful nnd so different from nil others that it has a seeming right to the claim of being tlio only real one. The peculiarity is that from the very begin ning of treatment the poor slave of tnis fearful habit feels the shackles stricken oil , and the power of appetite gone There are none of the tortures attending the other forms of morphine treatment , the patient winning the victory without any struggle , and the cure being perma nent. There have been so many start ling cures among prominent people in tlio west that the newspapers have been devoting their editorial and news spuuo freely to enthusiastic endorsements of the company und their remedies. The magnitude which the enterprise has already reached , and tlio glowing future upon which it has but just en tered , will naturally cause the many friends of these gentlemen to mingle with their congratulations regrets that they did not remain in Council Bluffs and establish the company here. ' It would be worth all to'Council Bluffs that it is to Seattle. How much this is may bo estimated in part when ono re members that it would bring abuut SOO more people to the city and cause thou sands of dollars a month to flow in here from other points in payment of the remedies , all of which are prepared in the company's laboratories. The various local Institutes being es tablished by the company are all flourishing. Mr. Crane has with him a photograph of the one at Portland , which for instance , has now eighty-five patients , while the largest competing institute there has dwindled down to only four. The building is a flue three- story , fireproof , of elegant architecture. Other local institutes in other western tales are also doing fao well that now these who want to secure the control of any state are bidding high. The com pany has also been offered several hun dred thousand dollars for England , but will probably organize there so as to control it themselves. Altogether it ( coins that Dr. Bellinger and Mr. Crane have struck it rich. The same wonderful success has at tended the treatment of the patients at the Council Bluffs Medical and Surgical institute , and there are at the present time several patients there undergoing treatment for the morphine , tobacco and liquor habits who hare uufforcd despair ing failure under all other treatments. Three were dii-eharged thoroughly cured a few days ago whoso cases had been pro nounced hopeless by the best specialists in the United States. It is fortunate for tlio people of the Missouri Valley and adjoining central states that they are not obliged to go to the Pacific coubt for successful treat ment , but can get it right here in Coun cil Bluffs , under the supervision of the Doctors Laugel and M. J. Bellinger. The former physicians are devoting all their time to the hospital and institute practice. They como hero from Boston and show the best medical diplomas that this country can tostow. The charges for this treatment are moderate und within the reacl ( ( J [ all.

They were put in the city jail Thursday nlirht to stay until yesterday , when they were to lie taken to Fort Madison. As they were hard citizens they were locked up in the steel cell for safe keeping. That evening it was discovered that they had broken tlio drain in pieces , and in that way , had made a hole between the steel cell and the cell adjoining , through which they no doubt Intended to worm themselves as soon as it became quiet. Once outside tlio steel cell , with their experience and a long term in the penitentiary staring them in the face , they would have had but little trouble in making a hole in the brick wall or sawing off the bars that stood in their way. As soon as the discovery w.is made their hands were securely handcuffed together in such a way as to prevent them from making any further effort to get away. Thn ( 'mint of Alontn Crlsto.

Whatever may be said relative to the pollution of ordinary streams not used as sources of water supply , no such prin ciple should ho accepted fur a moment us applied to rivers used for water supply purposes , especially in the light of re cent investigations uwon the Mei-rimac river , says the Boston Medical and Sur gical Journal. Prof. Frankland said at London , in August , isui , that while the self-purilication of rivers bus frequently been Mippo.-ed t-i justify the Use for do mestic purposes of rir'er water which has received sewage contamination ho was inclined to take the safer ground that the evidence of purification is wholly inadequate to justify such u course. While the investigation of the Stuto Board of Health of Massachusetts rela tive to the prevalence of typhoid ferer at Lowell and Lawrence are still fresh in mind , it is worth while to emphasize the published opinions of the board ex pressed in 181)0-1)1 ) ) , that the continued outbreaks in these cities were duo to the admission of'typhoid fever excreta into the river from towns higher up the stream where it was known to have ex isted. The results of investigations wore made public , as a warning not only ti those communities , but also others similarly situated. Notwithstanding this , it is now but a few days since another investigation became - came necessary still lower down the rirelat Nowburyport. For the past ten years , or since the introduction of a pub lic water supply , this city has been com paratively exempt from typhoid fever ( its death rate from tills cau-e being but little more than two per 10.000 annually ) . A few weeks since , in consequence of a scarcity of water , the water company began pumping a portion of its water from the river and distributing it to the inhabitants , after having been warned in November uguinst the danger of such a course by the State Board of Health. In January , 18tl ) ! , the cases of typhoid fever , fellow-ing closely after a similar prevalence in Lowell , suddenly rose from an average of less than one per month to thiity-four'in January , with four deaths. Nowburyport is seventeen miles below Lawrence und twenty-six below Lowell. Another Lynching In Prospect. AfstiN , Tex. , April 1.
