of his Inability to get nn IntcrnnUonal postal
order for 3 cashed , was up befoto Police
Judge McGee yesterday. A closer cxamlna

a duplicate. The- tramp admitted that he
had worn oul the original by dally use show
ing It while begging on the streeta of cities

had procured a duplicate from the Treasury
and Poslal departments at Washington.
There was no law thai could bo Invoked lo
punish the fellow for his deception unless
howas thrown Into Jnll nnd kept the regula

cs this was a part of the program that ho
desired to liavo followed I'.s often as possi

punishment ihcy could lolllct was to turn
htm loeao and lot him hustle for a living with
tbo assistance of his aged International pos

to get 11 cashed , but ho resolutely spurned
the tcmptallon. It was only worth $14.61

the City.
While Council Bluffs citizens have no
particular reason to rejoice , there Is little
occasion for corrow over the record made
during 1S8G. Whllo there has been no great
amount of public Improvements made yet ,
the final result of the year's work shows
that the city has more than held Its own.
Estimates by city officials and. reports and
estimates of real estate men Indicate a con
siderable gain In population during the year.
There are fewer vacant storca and dwelling
,
ing houses In all parts of the city than
there were a year ago , R. G. Dun's report
shows that there has not been a failure of
any consequence In the city during the year.
Public Improvements have been of some
extent and Importance. The city has ex
pended over $100,000 on street Improve
ments , which Includes the repavlng and sew
ering of South First ( street and Pearl street
and connecting avenues.
The real estate transfers for the yc.ir
make u fairly creditable showing , only fallIng -
Ing Hllghtly short of $4,000,000 , which approaches
preaches the rscord of previous years. A
transcript of the record In the county re--
corder'a office shows the number of transfcra
and the financial consideration for each

The mortuary statistics show that Icras than
300 pcor.le died In the city during the year.
With the exception of portions of October
and November fewer contagious diseases
were reported than ever. The Increase was
caused by a sudden outbreak of diphtheritic
dli'ccnes during those two months that
threatened to be serious. ,
There Is a general feeling prevalent In all
parts of town and among all clacses of people
ple that 1S97 will be a prosperous year , and
this general confidence will materially help

Land and Improvement company and John

loan. This Is the last of the suits that E.
W. Nash has against Paul and the Invest
ment company , ho having been successful

At a recent meeting of the truslees of Hie
Y. M. C. A. a commlllee of llirce , cormlK-
IIIK of A. II. Merrill , John M. Wcsterfleld
and P. A. Crcssy , was appointed to Inquire
Into the feasibility of erecting a Y. M. C. A.
building In this city. For the quarters now
occupied by the association a rent of JGO a
inonlh Is paid , which amounts lo $000 a
year. It Is thought thai Iho sum now paid
out In rent would pay the Interest on the
amount of money It v/oulil be necessary to
borrow to erect the building. The Intention
of those Interested Is lo eollcll subscrlp-
lions from Iho pac'tlns houses. Block yards
company and buslnccs firms for Ihe purchase
of a lot. With the purchase" price of the
lot once secured , It Is the 'opinion of those
Interested that money to itut up the block
could be borrowed for C per cent In
terest. F. W. Obcr. editor of the Y. M. C.
A. paper lu Chicago , and ? formerly secre
tary of the CGPoclatlon In Omaha , will be
hero some time during January to solicit
subscriptions and push the projecl along.
