THE BEE is duly grateful to David
Dunkle, of Crescent City. for sending in
some facts concerning the suicide neal
there.
Two females wearing the clothes Of
ladies' had the boldness to snatch a hang
ing plant from the porch of a residence,
and on being discovered run, but chung
te their plumber.
An effort should be made during vaca-
ton time and the hot weather to so fix up
the heating apparatus of the high school
building and Bloomer building as to pre-
vent the trouble of frozen steam pipes
another winter.
Sarah E. Sweat now signs for release
from her husband, VIM. c. Sweat, on the
ground that he has gone off to Washing
ton territory with another woman, and
that when he did live with her he was
the kind of u husband that suited her.

from fire during the blaze Saturday af-

The prediction that Bill Harrison
would not appear again to answer the
charge of being one of the Mills county
gang of horse thieves proved false, for he

at the district court.
The teachers institute, of Pottawatta-
ME county, opened yesterday for a three
weeks course. There were 70 enrolled,
a larger number han there ever reported
before on the opening day. 1t is expect
ed that to-day and tomorrow enough
more will be added to make the number
200 or more. Yesterday nothing was
done except enrolling and organizing, but
to-day work will begin in earnest.
1t looks a little strange to see a police
man of the regular force, and paid by the
city, putting in his time washing win
dows and doing other janitor work for
private parties, for pay of course. Officer

his j%anitor badge. 1t is evident that a
man cannot do full justice to his position
at least when he is just recovering from
a spell of sickness.

Mayor P. V. Cary, of Des Moines,
being away at the Denver reunion, the
business which ordinarily falls upon him
as Noble Grand Arch of the Druids is
now to be looked after by w. r. Vaughan,
who occupies the second chair, and all
communications should therefore be di'
rected to the latter, at Council Bluffs, in
order to secure prompt attention, and
avoid the delay necessitated by forward,
ing it. AS an instance of the practical
good the Druids are doing may be cited
the care of E. Tostag, who recently died
in this city. The order has already paid
over to his account 81, 25O, so as to set,
tie all doctors bills and expenses of his
illness, with all other claims.
