Ho has been engaged In making the maps , sched ules nnd plats required by the new law , using all of his spare time for the past six weeks. He worked the greater part of the day yesterday and until after 9 o'clock each evening during the week on the South First street schedules , and the work Is still Incomplete. The extra work Is demanded by the change In methods of assessing caused by the ordinance adopted last year for the purpose of relieving the city of all direct liability for grading , curbing , paving and sewering the streets. Heretofore pay ment for this work has been made by the city Issuing bonds and guaranteeing their payment. These bonds have stood as a debt against the city , while In reality they simply represented the debt of the property benefited , and the city only assumed the obligation of collecting the special assess ments. On May C of last year an ordinance was adopted in the city council providing for the Issuance of certificated against the property. This ordinance was subsequently strengthened by the adoption cf several others , the council following the same gen eral plan adopted by Pea Molncs and other Iowa cities. The ordinances were adopted In accordance with provisions of charter laws passed by the legislature. While the new method does not we-aken In the least the commercial value of the special assessment certificates. It relieves the city of an apparent obligation that shows dlsad- vantagcously In the debt statements. In addition to this apparent benefit the now method makes a material saving to the taxpayers by removing the necessity for a lot of expensive publications in the newsPapers - - Papers required to make the bonds legal. Hut while It eaves the taxpayers some money. It adds a great deal to the work in the odlccfl of the city engineer and city clerk. While only a small amount of pav ing or sewering U done at a time , the In crease Is not great enough to require extra help , but If a large number of streets were In progress of Improvement the work on the L maps and schedules would be greater than y- the present force could take care of. As an Illustration of the difference between the old method and the new. It can be shown that the repaying of Pearl and South First streets Involved more work in the otllces of the engineer and clerk than all of the pav ing done In any one year when the city was suffering from the cedar block Insanity. Hut , notwithstanding all this , the now plan Is highly commended by every ofllclal nbout the city building. It will enable- the city to repafc all of the cedar block streets without Increasing the apparent Indebted ness to the extent of a dollar. The cer tificates become a Hen against the property benefited , and the city only acts as an agent for the collection of the special assessments. A \Vor.l to III.Vlxr. . Sweets to the sweet.

Great Is the "Burlesque Circus. " Its magnitude was not measured by the Immense stretch of canvas nor the unrivaled parade which was postponed because of the snow yesterday morning. Its Immense size con sisted In the excellence of the performance taken as an entirety. From the opening medley of the well-arranged first part to the closing bout between the famous pugil ists , James Corbctt Wright and Deb Fltz- slinmons Grlinth , the largo and fashlonabc audletico was kept In a state of pleasant ex pectancy and delight. The Field club fully redeemed Itself for falling to get up a win ning or any other kind of foot ball team this season and also wiped out any doubt as to Its financial success. In the parlors of the Metropolitan club was given the rehearsal of a minstrel show that the club had under preparation , but which was changed under the alluring elo quence of Messrs. t'pson and Downs , two stranded circus men. Drs. Treynor and Macrae appeared In their native guises as these unfortunate showmen , and they had very little of the chameleon racket to work to both act and look the parts. Mr. Barnes of Now York appeared In the breach and the switch from the burnt cork to the saw dust ring Is arranged , through the president of the club , George Wright , nnd the men dicant public entertainers. Uut In order that the club and the audience should not lose any of the excellent minstrel per formance a rehearsal was given , which proved In fact a highly finished entertain ment. There have been bones and tamboes and end men befote , but they were no smoother than the following burnt cork artists that rattled. Jingled and sang last night : W. S. Hlgdon , Tom Askln , Henry Paschal , W. L. Waskell , W. L. Douglass , Tom Farnsworth. Charles Paschal and Lloyd Griffith. They oven surmounted the frantic efforts of the orchestra to down their melodies. The open ing medley made a decided hit and put the audience In the best of humor. "Come 'Long , You Darkles , " "See Where de Twinkling Stars Am Shining , " "Don't Be Cross , " "Ar- rah ! Go On ! You're Simply Tazln' , " "Oh , Julienne ! Oh , Julienne ! " "In the Shadow of the Pines , " "Ma Angellne" and "Hastus on Parade" followed In delightful harmony , making ono of the best arranged musical groupings of fun and sentiment presented hero for a long time. It was rendered by ttio entire company and the chorus was strong and Impressive. W. S. Illgdon Is an old-timo favorite and be again delighted the audience with "Yo Baby's Comtn' to Town , " "Tho Old Love , " sung by Charles S. Haver- stock : "Let Me Take My Place at Homo Again. " by Ned Mitchell , and "Onco In a Purple Twilight. " by Phil Paschal , were all pleasingly rendered , forming a trio of ballads that could not bo Improved upon. And the end songs perhaps struck the tem per of the house even more effectively than these. Tom Asklns led "Parson Johnson's Chicken Brigade" to a decided and humor ous finish. "Ma Angellne" showed Brer Douglass to bo a dangerous , warlike and musical nigger. One of the gems of tno evening was brought out In the quartet , > "Down on the Ohio , " by Messrs. Mitchell , I Attchlson , Haverstock and Tcrrlngton. This ; dashing impromptu minstrel part came tea a glorious finish through the swelling notes of Branlgan's band by the end men , assisted by the entire company and the aforesaid orchestra. ONLY SHOW ON EARTH. The circua was all extra and showed the generosity of the promulgators of the even- Ing's entertainment. It caruo In two "spasms and a tit ( or fight ) , " as announced , and "Introduced more untried talent and at tempted more unheard of featured than any circus that will ever appear In Council Bluffs this winter. " There were Kubcs , lots of them. They went against the wheel of fortune , whose presiding genius was Will Bcebe. Tney tackled Ed Trautman's red lemon and Jake Hess' alluring falsetto from the ticket wagon gathered them In. If the laundry business plays out Mr. Douglass will flnd ready employment with any circus as barker for the sideshow. No assemblage of thin , thick , India rubber , strong , ossified or sword-swallowing specimens of humanity had a better cxpatlator. And he was ably seconded by Gcorgo Hughes In explaining the "greatest aggregation of wonders ever exhibited outaldo of Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works. " Many of his subjects were slightly the worse for long wear , but they stood upon the high and mighty pillar and showed themselves "for the benefit of the public and the only show on earth where the gh'ost walks every Saturday night. " The dainty contour of the Circassian beauty was cther- lalUed In the person of Dave Stuart. From his daluty waist line to his magnificent blonde hair he was the wonder or all. George Mayne made a striking sideshow freak as the wild man from Africa , who once ruled over half the- dark continent. George Wright rivaled him , however , as the bluo-ncued ouraug outang. j The scene outside the great spread of can vas was well put on. Within could bo heard the growls of the captive monsters from the | jungles of Asia and Africa. Luckily they , were not fed. Finally all the farmers , farm ' hands , tent hands , four-ln-hands , full hands , ] large hands , small hands , handy hands , lone ! hands , deck hands , sugar cured hams , ham ! fata and others were corralled Into the tent' ' and the sideshow vanished and the great nix- ' teen-foot ring appeared. The aforesaid I hamU occupied the bleachers. Despite the desperate attempts of the band , there was ' a hush. The curtains In the distance parted and the grand entry was on. In truly pro fessional style. In Jaslied eight of the most | daring riders that had not signed for last season. The stage had been specially strengthened for the occasion. All eques trian feats of the past were eclipsed. For weeks these animals had been fed on special fodder and their riders proved to be verita ble centaurs. They were Messrs. Lloyd Grllllth , Ned Mitchell. Dr. Treynor. Paul DeLong. Tom Farnsworth , Dave Stewart , Melvln Gould and Eugene Ingoldsby. HEim.MANNSKI'S MAJICKSKI. Ono of the very latest was vocalized by the merry old clown , Mr. Jerry Hopper , alla Douglass. The audience wss requested to join In the chorus and did so with a will. By the aid of a big stick , a pulley and the frightened stage hands , some great balancing was ( lore by High Moon Wright and Little Allrlght Farnsworth. To the delightful strains of ono of Strausslski'A waltzes Slgnor Herrinamibkl Douglass , assisted by liumbskl , who failed to appear , being located under the stage , gave a weird exhibition of parlor majlckukl. The Sponge brothers gave an ex ccllent exhibition of tumbling. This was no | eke and wag labeled I eat the audience make a mistake.

But [ tlgdon proved that ho can bo a dainty ml 3. as well as black end man and the wire anchor that held him failed to break and he came ilpwn tafcly.

Willy Work Haverstock showed the excellent hypnotic power he hat over brute creation and the great AaUtlc H-auty obeyed his every command , But It remained for the queen of the arena , Mado- taoUelle M corool and "Spot , " her trained and Imported Arabian thoroughbred , to bring the bleachers and the audience up to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. Paul TorrltiR- ton proved a decidedly charming Italian cqutfltrlan danausc and never rubbed a spot from the Arabian charger , who shared the equestrian honors with Fatlnltza , the great trick donkey from the den of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Dcn , by permission. M. Awanam Edemunap , Mr. Phil Paschal , made a daz zling "King of Clubs. " notwithstanding the fact that the gentleman Is always supposed to be strictly a paper affair. "The crowning effort of the show , a mill between Corbett and FItzstmmona , a feature which cost the club $140,000 , " showed that the Investment was a good one. Honest ( ? ) John Kelly Hughes proved an Impartial referee. The Paschall brothers held down the opposite corners for the principles and W. D. Beebe ( .nil Htalng Attorney Hess did the rubbing. The flpht was stopped at the end of the third round by the police , with hon ors even. Wright and Griffith will finish the affair after this evening. This bloodletting concluded the great show , which was re peated In the evening. After the performance Manager Clark of the Grand hotel tendered the entire company a reception , which proved a moat enjoyable affair. .f'JIt.llOO.OO 'Worth of Furniture Must be sold before January 1 regardless of cost.

Tried ( o Cheat ( In- Toll Man. Klchard Bady , a stockman of Sliver City , who Is reputed to bo worth over $50,000 , got Into a serious difficulty late Wednesday night that will cost him some money nnd trouble. Bady bought a bunch of feeding cattlu In the South Omaha market Wednes day and drove them to this city during the evening. When he came to the motor bridge he Informed the toll man that there were only eighty-one head of cattle In the bunch. The toll man was something of a Ruesser himself , and asserted his belief that there were over 100. and proceeded to count them. Bady objected to this , and offered to pay for eighty-one. The offer was de clined and Bady and his men stampeded the stock and sent them over the bridge without paying a cent. Superintendent Dlmmock was notified by telephone and with the assistance cf a number of Council Bluffs officers succeeded In corralling the cattle on Lower Broadway. Bady still refused to pay and was very abusive. The cattle were driven to the yards of a feed barn and counted. The count showed there were 140 head. An Information was filed at mid night and a warrant was Issued for the arrest of Bady. He could not be fcund after the cattle were taken possession of. During the day yesterday an-agent representing him appeared at the barn and paid the toll and the costs of keeping the cattle over night. j Bady will bo arrested and prosecuted.

( Special Telegram. ) A sensation has been caused at Eagle Grove , north of this place , by the arrest of Jerry Fitzmaurlce , president of the First Notional bank of that city , and Hugh Donley , cashier , on the charge of embez zlement. J. 0. Lines and wife left Eagio Grove some days ago to escape the execu tion of several judgments. They did not pay about $60 in rent to Mr. Fitzmaurlce. Ho tried to settle with them at Fort Dodge , where they had gone , but finally had Judg ment rendered against them for $10. Mr. Lines had $100 deposited In President Fltz- maurlce's bank , and held a certificate of de posit for It. Cashier Donley con sulted the bank's attorney , and was told to take the certificate as security when It came In. Ho noti fied the banks at homo and at Fort Dodge not to cash It and waive It. Yesterday F. L. Walton presented It and asked for the money. Donley told him there was only $ CO due on It , and explained the judgment. Walton refused the $00 and asked for the certificate returned. This Donley refused , but offered to give him a receipt for It. This was finally given and the parties separated. Then Walton went before a justice of the peace and swore out a warrant for both Don- ley and Fitzmaurlce on a charge of em bezzlement. The president and cashier were placed under bonds to appear at the prelim inary trial next Tuesday. Pretty Wrililliiur nt Anltn. ANITA , la. . Nov. 26.

The IturMiix of the Chamber of Deputies today fleeted a com- mlttco to examine the bill providing for a renewal of the privileges of tTte Bank ot Franco. The committee IB understood to bo favorable to the measure. , At the meeting of the Chdnlbor of Dep uties today there was a large attendance on the resumption of the debate on the school system , the government having nar rowly escaped defeat yesterday In resisting the demands of the radicals 'for the Imme diate Installation of female -lay teachers In the C.500 elementary schools , which are still In the hands of the Sisters ot Charity , Sisters of the Poor , etc. . Instead of waiting till the fllsters resign or die. This action was on the point of being carried yester day , when M. Krantz , the reporter of the budget committee , saved the government from defeat by Insisting that the resolution must first bo submitted to his committee , as It Involves a large Increase | u expendi tures. On the resumption of the school debate today M. Jourdan demanded that the government take steps to secularize all girls' schools within two years , but M. Krantz opposed the motion and the pre mier , M. Mellnc. declared that the proposi tion was Impracticable and merely a ma neuver against the government , which would ask the Chamber to reject It. M. Goblet nskcd the government to fix a date for the secularization of the schools , whereupon M. Mcllnu retorted that M. Gob let was amiss when ho estimated that the complete secularization of the schools would take twenty years. The debate closed with a motion fixing upon a term of two years for the secularization of the schools. This was opposed by M. Mellne nnd was eventually rejected by a vote of 326 to 237.

CIIKWUD HIS Hniiprry ConlH DiM-etveil by ncleli - lior'n llrnril. Justice of the Peace Hubschmltt of Paterson - son , N. Y. , decided a case Involving the right of a man to wear whiskers In the presence of a goat. The whiskers discussed before the magistrate were owned by James Su > - dam , a farmer In Little Falls township. They arc long and Mowing and silvery white , for Suydam Ls past middle age. The goats two of them that figure in the case are the property of Mrs. Annie Mc- Laughlln , who lives near the Patcrson clt > line. The farmer was walking along the highway ono morning last week when Mrs. McLaughlln's goats espied him. They fol lowed him. He tried to drive them back , but in vain. Mrs. McLaughlln went after her pets. She was exasperated when they refuse.1 to return at her bidding. "You have no business wearing them things , " she said , pointing to Suydam's whiskers. "Why don't you take them off ? The goats think Its hay. " Suydam did not like her talk. Ho made a complaint before Justice Hubschmltt , charging Mrs. McLaughlin with disorderly conduct. Lawyer Richard Randall summed up the case for Mrs. McLaughlln. "It has been shown , " he said , addressing the magistrate , "that this man passed tiic house before the goats had breakfast. They sau- him coming and looked up intelligently at him. How could they resist such a bunch as that ? Just look at the Inducement. If I were a goat the first thing I would do would be to go for those whiskers. We find by de cisions In Massachusetts. Oklahoma and Kalamazoo that when an animal pursues such a thing as that and there Is no evidence of vlclousness It merely acted with bad Judg ment. "Tills man has no right to appear In the public highway with such a show of whis kers. It Is a violation of the sumptuary laws. I quote from Coke upon Llttlctown to show that a man has no right to Induce a dumb animal to follow him by wearing such whiskers. " Justice Hubschmltt agreed with Lawyer Randall , and before acquitting Mrs. Mc Laughlln gravely told the farmer he had violated lated the law. Suydanuwas J.ot represented by counsel. But ho declared ho would en gage a lawyer nnd huvo Jhe" case appealed. He spent much on tuo law rather than remove his whiskers. \Vanleil In lotrn for Kaiber.zleincnt. SALT LAKE , Nov. 26.Sheriff J.

LOCAL MAN FALLS BEHIND AT THE START Miunl * Out Hit * linxt Half In HrinnrK- nlilc Form Klllittt MnUi'N n Him of -Onr StrululiC Killanil Thru l-'nl I * Dunn. No one but n crank would tur.i out on filch n < lay ns yesterday to fee nny kind of n sport ing event , but If there Is one class more than nnoihpr for whom Inclement weather hns no terror ? It Is the man who loves n Run. In the fnco of bail weather , with absolutely no pro tection from the driving storm which swept over the Run club grounds across the river , fully a hundred of them nswmbled to wit ness the match shoot between F. S. 1'nrmclce of thlsi city and J. A. U. Klllott of Kansas City , 100 Uvo birds per man. $500 a ride , and they were rewarded by sccliiR the local man win one of the most remarkable matches ever shot In the country. 1'armcleo demon strated that ho Is not only a capital shot , but that ho possesses ncrvo In n remarkable degree. When each mnn had faced the trap forty times Elliott had only one lost bird to his credit , while I'armolee had missed five. From that time on he braced up and niado a run of thirty-three straight kills , then eight , and from his seventy-sixth bird shot out his score clean. Elliott started oft with hard luck , his first bird being a dead out of bound. From that time he Rave n remarkable exhibition of shooting , making a run of forty-one straight kills , the best of the match. After that on he did not shoot so well. Ho missed his and fifty-eighth. forty-Hxth , fifty-seventh , braced up again and made a run of twenty- four. miming his eighty-fourth. Either the steady i-hootlng of I'nrmelee or the cold which wcmed to affect him more than his opponent , rattled the man from the Knw. and he missed his ninety-fifth bird , an easy one. which tied the peore. The crowd set up a shout at this , hut the next time he faced the trap demonstrated It wan not partial when It liberally applauded a clean , first- barrel kill of n dark bird , which left the trap like a shot and performed a corkf'xrow evolution. It was a beautiful kill and the applause was richly earned. When the veteran faced the trap for his last bird , which If killed would tie the score. he was evidently a little bit nervous. The bird was a lively one and results showed , a strong flyer It was hit hard with both charges , but persisted In going over the bounds to die. When the result was declared he waa among the first to congratulate his successful opponent. I'armelee. as stated above , started out poorly. Of his first five mls.-es at least two were of easy birds , which should never have gotten away. HI ? first lost bird was his fifteenth , dead out of bounds , the nineteenth got away safely , the twenty-second was a dead out of bounds , the twenty-fifth and thirty-first were inlased and the thirty-fifth went over the line to dlo. With five lost birds to his opponent's one. the hearts of the local contingent , who had placed money on the homo man at oJJs , went down , but the colonel proceeded to show them what ho could do In an emergency , only letting two birds get away during the remainder of the match , and both of these had ample cauu.i to remember him , being retrieved out of bounds. I'armelee made some remarkable kills of hard drivers , having a little the worst of It on hard birds , hla mlasesi ns a rule being the easy ones , not over two of them being j strong , swift fliers. They both of them caught plenty of hard birds , however. The score , 92 to 91. was a remarkable ono considering the conditions prevailing , and In one of which neither need be ashamed at any time. In addltlou to the cold , which chilled shooter and spectator alike , there was a nasty wind blowing quartering across the grounds and the light was poor , making birds very dlfilcult to see. The birds were a good lot , very few of them refusing to take wing promptly arid many of thorn wore drivers of the worst sort. The retrieving was done by M. C. Peters' spaniel , and finer work In this line was never scon anywhere. On several occasions bo picked up birds which would have given a man plenty of trouble and might possibly have gotten away. Ho did his work with a snap which showed he enjoyed It and never seemed to tiro. I'armelee shot a Parker double-barrel gun and Elliott a Winchester pump gun.

Amcng the events of the new year In Chicago cage will he the opening of the John Crerar library. The exact date has not been de cided upon , but every effort Is being made to get the books In readiness for the pub lic by January. Th' ? library Is to be on the sixth floor of the new Marshall Field building , says the Chicago Tribune. This entire floor has been remodeled and fitted up with all appropriate library furniture and appurtenances. A le.iso has been taken for five years , as It Is deemed not Improbable that on the ex piration of the lease the John Crerar 1'brary may have a building of Its own. The com mittee on building consists of John M. Clark. Henry W. Bishop and Robert T. Lincoln , all of whom an > known to be In favor of con structing a new building if it shall seem advisable later on. Meanwhile the library Is bo located where light andwilr will be plentiful and where the books will bo easy of access. Huntlngton W. Jackson , one of the execu tors of the Crerar will , said that It waa th * desire of the executors to organize a library that should be entirely creditable to the- founder and to the city of Chicago. For that reason he said they had not been mak ing haste In their preparations. Clement W. Andrews , the librarian , who waa formerly a professor In the Massachu setts Institute of Technology , la now In Chicago , and U superintending the classifica tion of the new library. Ho has about a dozen acslstants working with him , and this force will bo Increased as the books come In and as the preparations for the opening progress. Mr. Andrews has been In the east for several months during the last year making collectlonn of books among publishers and from other libraries In discontinued depart ments. Norman Williams , ono of the ex- ccutom under the Crerar will. 'Is now In Boston negotiating for library material. Incidental to Mr. Williams' eastern trip It will be Interesting to Chlcagoans to know that another object of his visit there Is to consult the Society of American Sculptors In regard to th < Lincoln monument , which was also provided for in John Crerar'e will. XIr. Jackson , one of his fellow executors , said that no site has been , taken under con- Jslileratlon yet for the proposed monument , as that must depend somewhat upon the style of memorial that may bo decided upon. It Is probable that the loading sculp tors of America will soon bo Invited to sub mit designs from which a selection will bo made. Itnri- Stone Humci ! for 1.1 me. "While up near the Point of Rocks. Fred erick county , Md. , some days ago , " said a prominent geologist to the Washington Star man , "I visited the quarry from which the stone that constitute the famous pillars In the old hall of the house of representatives , otherwise known as the National Statuary hall , was quarried. The stone Is known to geologists as breccia , though the common narao Is 'pudding stone , ' from Its peculiar formation. It Is a llmratono conglomerate , though nearly a true marble. It Is a handsome - some as well as remarkably interesting for mation to geologists as well as to others. Strange to say , however , thero-ls no de mand for It , though It Is easily sawed Into slabs for table covers , etc. "The day I was there I saw great quan tities of It broken up and thrown Into kilns and burned Into lime. It makes a very de sirable lime , and particularly fora fertilizer.

It seems a pltr to have to burn It into lime , when thcro Is any quantity of llmrflUine that will do so well for such \\ttx. \ though there Is but onn a find of breccia In tMs wide world.

Hut the conductor said to her : "Take the ue.\t car , madam ; we don't carry passengers. " "What's the reason you don't ?

" muttered the angular woman , shaking her preen umbrella at the rapidly disappearing conductor , to the Infinite delight of a number of spectators.
