Officer Murphy placed the notorious Jeff
Green under arrest'yesterday afternoon. Jclf
Is a wiry and exceedingly tough colored
fellow , with the foulest mouth Imaginable.
Ills profanity , vulgarity and abuse of the
officer were BO shocking that the crowd
called upon Murphy to choke him off. The
clllcer compiled with the general request
and lapped lit" fingers firmly around the
raddle-colored throat of the follow until the
patrol wagon arrived. It required the united
strength of two officers to handcuff tbo
darkey and put him In the wagon.
The published reports that Mlas Blanche
Undorwoqd , the telephone operator who died

emphatically denied by Glenwood people.
They say the young lady had been suffering
for vearu from a hlt > Joint dlsoisa nnd the
prescription In question was simply a prep
aration of lodofc.rm and glyccrlno oil for ex
ternal application. The druggist used castor
oil Instead of glycerine. They say positively
that no mistake was made In a prescription
designed for Internal administration.

NKW IIAII.WAY TIES FOR FIIinWOOD
of n fir cut IiuliiHtry nt tlie
nviiftixr ii r Terminal Company.
Special Oniccrs Kennedy and Miller of the
Union Pacific detective force were In the
city for the purpose of Investigating a report
that had readied them that a gang of thieves
bad been engaged In stealing tics from the
railroad company , converting them Into stove
wood and soiling the product on the utreots.
The Information was to tha effect that the
gang made tto headquarters on llroadway
not far from Sixteenth street , and that they
had a barn pretty well stocked with now
tics , which were unloaded from wagons dur
ing the night time and vawcd up and ppllt
Into steve wood during the day. About 300
now tics were traced to the locality , and the
men spotted who were selling the wood on
the market. The Union Pacific ofllcera In-
voutlgated Iho matter and were ready to
fllo complaints In the federal court charging
the men with stalling the property of the
government , but the doubt as to their abil
ity to provo that the tlea token belonged to
the Union Pacific system led them to aban
don the plan. A further Inquiry convinced
them that the tleu were the property of the
if Terminal company and left them without any
other than a friendly Interest In tbo matter.
It Is oild that seven men Inhabit the place.
Tour of them llvo there all of the time , and
three of them come over each night from
Omaha. It lu likely that the Terminal com
pany will conclude to protect Its property
nd the thieves will got Into trouble.

TEMPLE FOR TRIPLE LINKS
Odd Fellows Accept Plans for a Permanent
and Magnificent Homo ,
DAYS OF THE OLD MINT SALOON DOOMED
Vlve-Stnry Structure lo lie Krretcil
JtiNt IIN Itniilillnn Hie Work
Cnii Hit'tiNlicil Sotnctlilnir
of ( lie I'lnnn.
Ono of the worst looking old buildings on
Broadway , a miserable shack that
has been a menace to Us surroundIngs -
Ings and a rcproich to the city , Is to bo
torn down and replaced with what will be
one of the most stately and magnificent
bultdlngi In the city.
The location Is the site ot the old Mint
saloon and gambling house , between Main
and Bryant streets. The old building way
erected during the Mormon days of Kanes-
vllle. It was never pretentious or famous
for anything morothan the scene of some ol
the biggest poker and faro games ever playel
In the west. A year or moro ago the Odd
Fellows of the city acquired title to the
ground upon which the old structure stands.
The property was acquired ns a dtc for the
fine temple building the great fraternal or
ganization has long contemplated erecting In
Council Bluffs.
The delay In building was caused by the
desire of the organization to purchase an
adjoining halt lot that would glvo a greater
street frontage than the two Mint lots af
forded. All efforts In this direction , however ,
failed. The owners refused to entertain any
reasonable proposition to sell or make a
ninety-nine year lease. These negotiations
that have been pending for more than a
year have been cut short. At the last busi
ness meeting of the Odd Fellows It was de
cided to go ahead with the building at once ,
occupying the original lot only. W. and J.
C. Woodward , architects , were Instructed to
tmbmlt a set of plans for the proposed build
ing. They did so , and yesterday forenoon
the plans were submitted to the building
committee nnd were approved.
The plans , although not yet complete , show
the general character and appearance of the
fine structure to be erected. The association
at Its previous meetings has never had any
thing more than tbo ground plan submitted
for Inspection , but the committee yesterday
was shown the front elevation and the pencil
tketch of the entire building. As explained
by the architects It met with their unani
mous approval. The temple Is to bo five
stories high , above a half basement. The
front will be 45.7 and the rear 47.0. and the
side walls 112 feet In the clear. The lot Is
122.3 , and this will give 10.3 feet area In the
rear In addition to the sixteen foot alley.
The plans show a building that will be one
ol the most beautiful ana Imposing modern
structures In the city. The front will beef
of pressed brick , with cut stone and terra
cotta trimmings. The windows of the fifth
floor will bo in the form of three sets of
three links , the symbol of the order. The
main entrance will be In the center , with
double store rooms on the side. Tho' en
trance nnd foyer will be modelled after the
New York Llfo building In Chicago , the
main staircase and elevator being duplicates
of that building. Above the entrance- will
bo a balcony , reached from the second floor.
The walls of the entrance and the foyer will
bo almost wholly of plate glass , affording
abundance of light to the store buildings. In
the basement will be two rooms similar to
those In the Baldwin block. The central
part of the basement will bo fitted up for
general storage purposes , and the rear will
bo occupied with the "steam heating plant.
A double system of vaults will extend from
the foundation to the roof ou the rear
corners , giving a vault for every floor.
The second , floor will be occupied with
offices , plngfc and In suites , toilet
rooms , reception rooms , and the
main public hall. This hall will bo 44x80
feet , with a balcony. It will have a seat'ng
capacity almost as great as the old Masonic
Templa ball. The side celling will bo
eighteen feet high and the center will reach
to the roof In the shape of a circular dome ,
Inclosed with glass similar to the court In
The Bee building. The balcony will reach
to the third floor and can bo entered from
the hallway , designed for the accommoda
tion of the suites ot offices that will occupy
the front.
The fourth floor will be used for lodge
rooms exclusively. The arrangements show
that It will be ono of the most perfect suites
of apartments fen tills purpose In the world.
The main lodge room will bo 4410x61 fe t
Inside , with a fourteen foot celling , lighted
by the central dome skylight. The team
rooms , reception rooms and toilet apartments
for both the Odd Fellows and the Rcbekah
degree will take up all of the front apace.
The fifth floor will b ? the banquet ball ,
and It will be a room 4Gx44 , with kitchens
and all conveniences. The central dome
will make It of rather odd shape , somewhat
llko a letter F.
The architects went at the working plans
yesterday with Instructions to complete them
as quickly as possible. The contract Is to
bo let as soon as the plans are completed.
The design Is to begin work on the founda
tions as early In March or April as the
weather will permit , and to complete the
building by the last of August. Nearly all
of the offices and store rooms are already
rented.
People Interested In the building trades
believe that the early commencement of this
work will start other building enterprises ,
and that 189G will prove a busy building
pjason for Council Bluffs.

OI- EDUCATION .
ItcRnlnr Monthly Srimloii Devotctl < o
Ilonllnc Work nnd ItltU.
The Board of Education met In regular
monthly session at the room In the Washing
ton avenue building last night. All the mem *
bers were present , with President Fonda In
the chair. Only the regular routine work
wan done , which was chiefly the auditing and
allowance ot the usual monthly bills.
Member Morgan reported that the work
on'crcd In the High school building had been
done according to contract , and his report
was accepted without Inquiry.
Superintendent Sawyer reported that the
attendance for the last month was : Boys ,
2,043 ; girls , 2,001 ; total. 4,104. The average
attendance was 3,426 , and the entire enroll
ment 3,730.
The superintendent reported that the en
rollment of the night school was thirty-four
and the o\crago attendance fifteen. The at
tendance for the last few evenings had been
very light , and Prof. Sawyer" recommends
that the school be discontinued on Friday
evening , that day being the close of the
month. Ho recommended also that In the
future the night school should not be started
before January 1 , and said that his Investiga
tions Into the light attendance during De-
ctmbcr showed him that It was largely
owing to the fact that the merchants kept
their stores open then for the holiday trade ,
thus preventing the clerks nnd office boys
from attending the school. The school Is
only designed to continue two months , and
this year It was started on the llth of No
vember. Two years ago It was started on
January 1 nnd the attendance was largo
nnd was maintained .for the full term. All
of his recommendations were concurred In
and the board ordered the school closed after
Friday.
Prof. Sawyer called the attention ot the
botrd to the necessity for an extra teacher
In the High school during the next session.
The matter was referred to the committee
on teachers with power to act.
The matter of purchasing physical and
Chemical supplies for these departments of
the city schools was referred to the commit
tee on supplies with power to act.
On motion of Member Thomas the commit
tee on buildings and grounds was authorlzd
to buy a barrel of dust-proof oil , to be ussd
on the floors of the school buildings.
A puffy little smokestack belonging 16 a
new feed mill that has Just been erected on
grounds lease 1 to a woodyard company near
the Washington avenue building was com
plained of as a nuisance. The matter was
referred to the committee on grounds and
buildings for Investigation , with Instructions
to Inquire to abate the nuisance.

"A rellglo-polltlcal organization , where the
discussion of religious and political subjects
Is prohibited , " Is the rather paradoxical ex
planation that Rev. Henry DeLong , the Good
Samaritan of Council Bluffs , gives of the pur
poses of his Worklngmen's Friendly club.
It Is a religious organization , but wo hnvo nn
religion and do not discuss religious subjects.
It's a political society , but wo don't allow
anybody to talk politics. Wo don't abuse
anybody or lay down laws for anybody. Our
rooms are open , warmed nnd lighted , nnd
some ot us are always around when wo are
wanted. It is a better place for us to loaf
than the saloons. If anybody wants to swear
wo let them swear , and If they want to smoke
strong pipes we let them smoke in peace. No
ono rebukes another.
Wo are going to keep this thing up Just
as long as wo can , and we want every unem
ployed man In town to come and stay with
us , and all the working men to spend their
Idle tlmo In our hall , meeting their fellows
and get acquainted. "
The club rooms are on the third floor of
the State Savings bank building , In the room
that has long been used for his girls' In
dustrial school. Last night was the regular
weekly meeting night , when a program Is
provided for the amusement of all. The at
tendance filled every part of the hall. All
the branches were occupied , and many were
standing around the wals. ) The program
consisted of speeches by the founder , and
many of the members. They were hearty ,
earnest expressions of good will and hopeful
ambition. Herbert and Holly Pardy , mem
bers of the High school , made two pretty Ht-
tlo talks that seemed to greatly encourage
many boys about their own ages. Mayor
Cleaver and J. J. Steadman also spoke , and
made some strong points. L. Klnnehan
spoke , but got a little too near his favorite
free silver love and had to be called to order.
Will Van Arnam , physical instructor of the
Young Men's Christian association , gave an
athletic exhibition In connection with one of
his pupils that was very fine. The High
School Mandolin club furnished the music
and played six selections. Thirty new mem
bers were secured for the club after the
adjournment.
All of this week the rooms will bo kept
open from 9 until 3 o'clock during the day
and each evening until 10 o'clock.
I1AMCUIL JOHNSON'S THOUHLES.

ponliiK , of HIM Property.
Depocltlcris were taken before Clerk of the
Courts Reed yesterday In the case of the
Citizens' State bank of Omaha against Frank
C. Johnson.
This action was originally commenced In

have the conveyance of 300 acres of land
to W. C. Johnson set aside , and to have the
deed of 920 acres of Fremont county land to
Christopher Armstrong , Jr. , by Frank C.
Johnson , set aside. The deed of the bank at
Randolph to J. II. Johnson Is also sought to
bo set aside. The petition alleges that all
of the transfers of property have been made
by Johnson for the purpose of defrauding the
Cltlzeno' State bank. The court Is also asked
to restaln Mr. Johnson from conveying any
of the lands In qusstion to any one , pending
the decision of the action brought by the
Omaha bank.
Mr. Johnson la president of the First Na
tional bank at Tabor , owner of the bank
at Randolph , and was ono of the heavy stock
holders and an officer of the Citizens' Bank
of Omaha. He le alleged by the petition to
bo heavily Indebted to the Citizens' Bank of
Omaha , and his indebtedness Is set up as
one of the causes of the banlc'u present finan
cial distress. Depositions were taken yes
terday of Judge Thornell , W. B. Roberts ,
George K. Draper and L. J. Nettleton.
Mr. Johnson achieved someundcslrabln
notoriety In Omaha a few years ago as a flc-
femlant In the damage suit brought against
him by Rov. Larrabeo M. Campbell , who
charged the banker with having alienated
his wife's affections. Mr. Johnson was
vindicated by the trial ot the > case.

Some of the frlenda of Miss Agnes Mc-
Fadan are much alarmed over her strange
disappearance from Crescent , where she
made her homo for several months while
working upon the development of a patent
for the heating and ventilation of school
houses. She has been absent for several
weeks , but It was thought for a time that i'he
was detained by buslne j transactions , but
MOW her friends have become alarmed for her
safety.
Miss McFadan came to this county from
Oklahoma last May. She has a brother , who
Is prominent In politics In that territory , and
has a number of frlondo In Chicago who oc
cupy Important public positions. She Is the
Inventor of a Byntem for heating school
liousea and bad been working on her plans
for Improvements In her patent. She went
to the home of Warren Hough , postmaster
at Crescent , and lived there during the
tmmmcr. She was depressed In uplrlls at
times , but was usually cheerful and pleasant.
She had but a short time before coming to
Crescent placed one of her heating appli
ances In the fcchool building at Woodlawn ,
N'cb. , and had a number of other contracts
In negotiation.
Six weeks ago Miss McFadan arose early
cne morning and cooked her own breakfaet
ind Mid she was going to Omaha on a little
uut/lnea ) . Mr. Hough offered to drive her to
the depot , but atio replied that the enjoyed
the walk , and started away , bidding the
family a cheery goodbye. She took none of
her effects , not even a h nd bip. For a tlmo
her absence was not considered strange
but now Mr. HouftU * i Is alarmed
over her long and npxplalntd Rb
Rcnce. He thinks that she would have a
