The Messrs. Stewards, of the Broad
way music house, yesterday received
communication in regard to Fam!
Bloomfield, the pianiste. 1t is statec
preparations for a grand piano recital b!
this celebrated pianiste is being arrange
to take place here about Christmas. Sh
is expected to give ten of these r%ecitals i
the west, one of which may take plac
here at the opera house.
Three young men, T. j. Reynolds
Anthony Otto and f. l.. Reynolds, wer,
eyed with some suspicion as they wert
sauntering about the city, we're at las
arrested for beating Taylor's restauran
out of a meal. They claimed to be from
Cedar Rapids, and that they belonged t.
"a detective association" Two of then
had stars. They we're locked up in the
county Jail, where they will have a goot
chance to get pointers.
Those whose curiosity causes them tt
rush after an officer when q prisoner il
being taken to Jail, and who are SO anx
ious TO find out what the trouble is,
should bear In mind that their curiosity
may prove expensive. The new city or
dinance provides that those thus follow
ing an officer are liable to be fined to the
extent of $25. Money would be more
satisfactorily expended in buying the
next mornings BEE and thus learning
what the matter was, instead of paying
fines.
The democratic city marshal was very
prompt in giving public notice to have
all boxes and other distractions removed
from the sidewalks, preparatory to the
democratic parade. He forgot all about
taking any such precautions for the re.
publican parade tonight. He probably
thought the democrats would take up the
whole OF the sidewalk, but that the re-
publicans were more sober-minded and
would not get more anti-prohibition on
board than they could carry and carry
straight.
One of the Shaughraun company lost
his pocketbook in coming from Omaha
1t was a red book, bearing his
and containing papers and pic
lures, valuable only to him. Whine at
the opera house a boy told him that a
man outside had his pocketbook,
and he gave the boy a dollar to reward
finder, the boy promising to bring
back the book. He failed to appear
again. The chief of police is now ap-
pealed to, and the finder of the book had
better interview Skinner with prompt
ness.
The most stupid showing of stupid
journalism is the charge made by the
.onpareil that PuseV and Baldwin want
TO get the bridge bill passed by congress
that they can make a barrel of money.
Why, bless her dear old heart, the bridge
bill was passed long ago. The old lady
been in one of her mods to have
overlooked so important an event. All
that remains to be done is to build the
bridge, and if Pusey and Baldwin see
my money in it they can go ahead,
whether Pusey gets into congress or not.
A big majority of Council Bluffs wish
hat somebody would see money enough
n it to build it, for it would help the
,ity greatly.
The dear old lady now snivels about
Pussy and Baldwin having a scheme to
get another bridge built between here and
Omaha, by which they would make seve-
millions or billions OF dollars. She
must think the readers of her scrap basket
ire fools. A bill has already been passed
providing for a combined wagon and rail
.oad bridge, and It's passage was urgedby
many prominent citizens of both political
When the campaign opened
Col. Sapp feared that Pusey would take
% himself the glory of having got the
Dill through, and in q public speech
showed that Pusey had done little to So
cure its passage, and stoutly avowed that
the bridge would be built, and by the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railway
company. The Nonpareil has always OPP
posed any and all bridge enterprises, but
not so with the people, and the attempt
to drag tho enterprise into the political
arena would only be attempted by an old
lady in her dotsge. The fact is that a
bridge Is wanted, and wanted
badly, and the Nonpareil is urging the
to vote for Lyman because he will
oppose the bridge enterprise, and vote
Pusey because he will encourage
the bridge enterprise. 1t will make votes
for Pusey, because a large majority of
the people are anxious to have another
but the fact is that the bridge is
not now a political issue, and the bill has
passed.
