The cltj council held an adjourned ces sion last evening to clean up some of the work that was left unrutehcil at the last regular mcot'mg a week ago Part of the work to be accomplished was to take up and complete the passage of Ihe general elec- trlct ordinance that was introduced on lest Monday night and advanced to its second reading. The ordinance Is , however , con sidered to be of such importcnce that it has been decided to go slowly ta enacting It into n law. It had been referred to the commlt- leo of the whole for further consideration , but the committee had not time to give it E'Ufllclent ' consideration. Several Important amendments will most likely bo made , aud some of the sections will be modified. j Tlio new law required the council to de cide the- tenure of office of all appointive omcers , and the time hnd about trat spiral when thU decision must bo made. An ordi nance waa Introduced and passed making the term of all such officers one jcar. The council was also called upon to decide whether the ollico of weighmaster should be elective or appointive. I'nder the old law- It was elective nnd the term was fixed at two yeara Tlie new law gives the council the option of maklnc this ofllce nnnolntive. It was decided , however , not to Increase the council's patronage , and an ordinance was packed making it elective , which again fixes the term at two jenrs. The motor company asked for End was granted permission to ccaslruct n sewer from its power house on Second avenue and Twenty-eighth street to Spoon lake , to bo used to carry away the waste-waler from the condensing eng'nce. The sewer Is to be constructed at the cost of the company , and will bo nearly n mile In length. The fire committee was Instructed to ex change two defective gongo now In use In the hose houses for two others of modern make , and were allowed $150 to pay the difference In price. Twenty-second street , from Cochran park to Broadway , \\aa ordered to be widened , and the amount of $100 was appropriated for the purpose of pajlng for the small strip of ground required. The alderman from the Third ward re ported lhat a number of culverts on South Third street were too low nnd were pre- vrnling surface water from escaping. His recommendatlco that they bo raised wao approved. The bill of the electric lighting company for January , amounting to $9SO. was al lowed after $04.23 had been deducted for outage. A bridge over Indlcn creek at Twenty- eighth avenue , which was ordered con structed several menthe ago and which has not been done owing to the difficulty of the residents In Iho vicinity deciding where It should be located , was llnnlly located on the avenue named. The property owners living on Twenty-ninth avenue had agreed to give the city free right of way for a portion tion of the street If the bridge was located there and picsented a numerously signed politico to have the location changed. They failed to make good their promises and lost the bridge. The cocncll adjourned to meet again In two vvcckH. Snlc of ( IIIiilolic I'llllll. The sale of the evening Globe , which was scheduled to occur today , has been post poned for three days by agreement of all parties concerned , llccclver Chase Is directed by order of court to sell the entire news paper plant to the highest bidder to satisfy a landlord's writ of atachmcnt amounting to about $1,400 for unpaid rent , and labor claims aggregating { 500 more. With the ad dition of the costs that have accrued It will require about J2.200 to clear up these clalnw leaving n good many thousand dollars of un paid debts and claims which will probably bo extinguished with the sale of the plant The postponement was for the purpose of perfecting the tltlo and to glvo the attor neys for the Campbell Printing Press com pany an opporlunlty to file an amended pctl- lion. ThU will be riled today In It the com pany will claim that the title of the press has not passed from It , regardless of the fact that the company holds no lease upon the press , The petition will allege that Miss Dodge , attorney for the landlord , was noti fied that the builders of the press had not relinquished their claim upon the machine , and would not until the final payments had been made. It Is expected that this matter will be adjudicated by the court within the three days , and the decision will show the exact amount that must be paid to the re ceiver to secure perfect title to the news paper plant. The ealo of the paper Is of considerable Interest to the local democracy , for iho democratic leaders believe that a good deal depend ! ) upon having an organ In the city campaign. So far a the receiver hna been advised there are no prospective bidders , and It la expected that some of the creditors will bid It in. The landlord's writ and the labor claims tnko precedence of all others. The largest other single creditor Is the bank of Ofllcor Sc Pusey , vlilcii , hoJJu a mortgaged - d calling for coyaularrepocU I for | 3EOO. It Is barely possible that the bank may conclude < o bid In the property In the hope of laving Its Investment.

Opposed to Uniform .Solimil llooUJ. Deep Inteicst Is felt In the uniform text book bill now under consideration bythe Iowa legislature. The bill Is known as the liny bill , and has for Its object the secur ing of uniform text tiooks for all of the schools of the state. It provides that there ( fiall be no changes In the school books used In any of the public schools of the state o\ccpt at the termination of periods of five vcars. The object of the law Is to socuie Immunity In all parts of the state fi'om an noyance and expense resulting fiom too fre quent cnangcfl In text books and at the mm" tlmo provide pupils of the schools of the state with the same text books. School olllcera admit that the bill has some good features , but dec'are that as o whole It will operate against the Interests o' the schools of the state , and especlallj in the larger towns and cities. Strong pro tests against the passage of the bill have beer sent by Superintendent Hlsej and other teachers and by several of the members of the Board of Education. County Superin tendent Savvjer Is also strongly opposed to the enactment of the law , and has Joined with other school people In making a strong fight against It. Don't miss "Mra.

Levy fur I'nrk 1'nriioson. The park commissioners held a special meeting yesterday for the purpose of mak ing the ta\ levy for Ihe coming jcar In ac- 1 cordanco with the provisions of the new- law. Heretofore the levy has been made once a jear at the regular meeting of the board in Febiuary , but the new law requites It to bo made for two joars , nnd it was necessary to hold a special meeting to cor rect the error. The usual resolution vvaz passed fixing the tax at 1 mill for the two years and authorizing it to be certified by Iho clly clerk and placed on the county tax books. The levy will give about $5,000 a jear. The board now has on hand about $1,200 , part of which Is a balance carried over from last year. The park Improvements contemplated for the coming year will require the full amount of the levy , but It was not the original Intention of the board to make as largo a levy for the succeeding jear. The new law , however , could not bo evaded and the full amount was made for both jears. Dr. Reller , osteopath , Beno block. Sinlth'H CIINC I'roeurdN Itaplclly. Considerable progress was made yesterday In trying the case of L C. Smith against the Board of education to recover the contract price of his heating and ventilating appara tus placed In the Irilgh school building last fall. The plaintiff completed his testimony and a number of witnesses were presented for the defense. The outcome of the suit will hinge upon the use of the large damper that was placed In the chimney by Gmlth , and which ho claims was a parl of his de vice. He alleges lhat when Ihe school board made Its tests this damper was used , and thai Us use enabled Iho board to get a much greater degree of heat than could pos slbly have been obtained without it. Thla ho claims , was using a part of his Inventloi to defeat him. The case Is being watchc < wllh a good deal of Interest by all partle concerned.

The appointment of all employes shall bo made by the superintendent. It Is unlawful for a member of the- board to attempt In any way to Influence any such appointment , This la to prevent the board becoming a political machine , and doubtless can be re lied on for efficiency , because a member ol the board would hardly want to take the chance of having a superintendent , In case of trouble at some futura time , tell that he lias violate ! Ihls eecllon by Influencing appointments. Salaries shall bo fixed by the board , ex cept for chief executives , and shall bo uni form for like services In Instllulions of Ihe same class , A list of employes and salaries must bo published with regular reports , at present there Is na published list of the kind.

Too much politics-dial ! be ground for re moval ; and any a tenjpl to Influence the political views of another stale employe shall bo grounds fo Ul charge. Local treasurers ore abolished , and pay ments ehall bo nuiJciUrect from the slate treasury by draft.

By the 1C th of each month , each superln- undent or chief officer shall prepare in rlplato a minutely detailed stalcment of supplies wanted Ibe next month , stating amounts and prices of each article.

The board shall revise and change , as It sees fit , this estimate and Hond a copy of the revised estimate to the atenard of theluutllutlou , which shall be bis warrant for buying the supplies In the luantltles and at the prices named , and not itheiwUe.

II. M. Puscy accounts for the long stay by sa > lng that visitors who came to Council Bluffs In 1S59 had lo wait for a steamboat to get away , often many dajs. Halting In a carriage drive to point out the probable loca tion of lha bridge across Iho Missouri for the Union Pacific railroad , Mr. Puscy eald : "You are aware , Mr. Lincoln , that the act ot con gress Incorporating and creating the Pacific Railroad company has passed , and there Is one clause near the close of the articles of Incorporation which gives to Iho president of the United States power to fix the turning point of the Union Pacific railroad. You are cvvnrc that the act provides tliat the terminal point of the Union Pacific railroad shall bo In Iowa , on a certain secllon east of and past ttio town of Omaha Who knows but > ou may bo elected next 5car and have to fix the terminal point of the Union Pacific rail road ? " Standing there for some minutes with his arms folded , Lincoln's reply wan "Well , nature seems to have laid the bottom there and that Platte valley just to build railroads on , didn't It ? " In JSG3 Mr Pusey visited President Lin coln at the While House and the president arose nnd went to a map that was hanging on the wall , and , tracing the Union Pacific , placing Itls linger as near as ho could on that bluff where tie stood In 1S39 , oald "Mr Pusey , I will never forget the Impiession trade en mo In looking over that great country that la to be developed by this road , and the little side remark jou made to me , that possibly I might bo called upon to fK the terminal point ot the Union Pacific railroad , gazing as It were light on the vcrj spo > ns I did from that bluff " During a visit to Couidl Bluffs in 1S39 Mr Lincoln pulled from his vest pocket a litlle soiled piece of newspaper , In which was rolled a land warrant. He asked Mr Pusey to enler this ICO acres of land for him , sajlng : "I kept it as an heirloom of the Black Hawk war. For jeaoand jeais It was all I had , and after my.bojs began to grow up I thought I would keep it nnd show them that the'r falher had once been a soldier Morris McHtnry , coinly suivejor of Craw ford county , gives the rest of the storj "The 120-acre land warrant of President Lin coln for his services in the Black Hawk war was located December 27 , 1S39. I think a banker named Jacob IJunn of Springfield , 111. , was bis agent , and that the wnnant was sent to Officer & Pusej , bcnkera at Coun cil Bluffs , who made the eatry at the Coun cil Bluffs land oillce. The location was made on the north half of Hie northeast qu.rtcr and the southeast quarter of the northeasl quarler of secllon olghleen ( IS ) , in lownshlp clghly-four (84) ( ) , norlh of range Ihlrly-n'no (39) ( ) , west of Ihe Flflh principal meridian , In Crawford counly. The township is named Goodrich township. This land was held by Iho Lincoln rotate until April 26 , 1892. I was their local egenl for many years , but Messrs. Officer & Pusey acted as their state agents. As above , April 20 , 1S92 , Robert T Lincoln and wife deeded this land lo Henry Edwards ( unmarried ) , who deeded Ihe same to E. T. Cochran of Denison. Robcit L'n- coln received for the land $1,300. E T Cochran and wife , on the 24th of October , 1S92 , deeded the same to Peter F. Jepsen , the present owner , for cousidernllon of $1,925. I have surveyed oa Iho lines of Ihe Lincoln land eomo four or flve times within the past twentj-five yeans. It ia a mice , rolling prairie , with two small streams of water on It. It Is In a laige German sctlle- menl , nnd Is worth about ? 45 per acre , being part of Mr. Jepsen's 1,000-acre farm. " J1OO IIUHM.\G IV IOWA.

The fire still burns harder than ever , and the probability seems to be lhat It will continue to burn until Iho spring rise of Ihe ( Missis sippi. II was lasl November lhat the fire de partment was first called down to the stretch of unused land south of the Burlington , Cedar Rapids & Northern tracks and west of. the foot of Green streel. That land Is about all of It "made ground , " and was formerly the dump of the old Paige & Dixon. nfterwurds Kcator mill Some boys probably had etarlcd a bonfire on Iho dump , and Iho fire had worked down into Iho refuse that answers for soil there The fire department found smoke rising out ot the ground over a patch about twenty feet square. It poured some water on It and heard no more of It for about a month. In December the department was called thcro ncain. For an entire Sumlnv a stream was played on the smoking dump , A week afterward It was smoking away as If the water had never touched It. Yesterday a dense smoke was rising from a secllon of Iho dump several rods In cir cumference. This portion of the dump has been separated from the remainder by dig ging a , trench behind It , the ditch being all the way from three lo eight feet deep. As water from the porous Boll gathers In the ditch It is not thought the lire can get be hind It , but smoke lhat arlbcs from two or three other spots on the dump suggests thai there Is fire In it that was not cut off by the ditch. Oulsldo the turning area the dump Is wet and spongy , but the fire lodged In It dries Is own -path through the mass of sa-vvdust and ancient mill refuse , and will continue to smoulder until flooded over by an unusual rlso of the Mississippi. iliixlriillini llnlliit CoiiNlHiitlonn ] , SIOUX CITY , Feb. 14.

There are thirty-eight democrats In the house nnd If they are In such n deal they could easily pass the mcao- uro In that body. In the ncnato rjorrell nnd Uoltcr , democrats , are known to fa\or the measure end It Is rumored that two or three others may vote for It. The suffragists arc well pleased with the situation.
