Y OPERA HOUSE.
The Date Of Its Opening at Last De-
CidGd Upon.
. Citizens Meeting TO Hurry Ur
Ticket Sales.

The query as to when and how thenew
opera house is to be opened is at last an
swered. Thursday, January IL, has been
settled upon as the date, and the Chicago
Church Choir company is to give thefrst
entertainment. This will be glad news
to the many citizens who have been alb
staining from indulging in public enter
tainments because of the city affordingno
suitable place for a irst-class company to
appear. The new opera house will bear
favorable comparison with that in any
western city, and there seems'no reason
why Council Bluffs, in the future, should
not have the best entertainments and
well ~patronized.
Saturday night, in response to a call
for q citizens meeting in Dohany's hall,
a number gathered there. The purpose
was to talk over ways and means for dis
posing OF the remainder of the ticketsfor
the opening night. At the starting of
the opera house project the citizens, to
help the enterprise along, contributed
for the purchase of the ground, and it
was understood that 1000 tickets at So
each would be taken for the opening
night. Less than four hundred have 30
far been taken, although the committee
appointed for that purpose has worked
zealously. At the meeting Saturday
night Judge J. P. Casady was called to
the chair and j. @. DeHaven secretary.
Mr.. L. L. Shugart made some very com.
~plimentary remarks concerning the enter
prise shown by Mr.. Delaney, and urged
the citizens to keep their pledge of sup
port in carrying it to a successful compile
ton. MI. Hendric remarked that he
thought the canvass of the city had not
been thorough enough, and after some
further suggestions 1T was decided to
urge the present committee to continue
It's work, and that Wells Cook, John Z.
Ahles and w. II. Vaughan be added to
the committee, and if this was not
enough the committee could add others.
On motion of Mr.. Ahles it was decided
that the name of purchasers of tickets
and contributors should be published
from time to time.

The drug store Of l. N. Empie on
Upper Broadway was badly damaged by
fire Saturday morning. The flames were
discovered about 8 o'clock, the fire origi-
mating in the corner of the store room
where were kept whiskey, oil, gasoline,
etc. 1t spread rapidly, and had already
got through into the second hoor before
it was discovered by the sleepers up
stairs. The attempt to turn in fire
alarms showed tho recklessness of the
city government in depending upon such
q faulty and unreliable system. Two
boxes were tried, and as they failed, a
messenger went to the engine house and
thus an alarm was given. Despite the
delay the boys got at work in good shape
and succeeded in squelching the hot
blaze. The loss on the stock will reach
about $1,000, on which Mr.. Empie has
an insurance of $4,000 in companies rep.

1t was cold work for the fire lads and
ears, fingers and noses were nipped, but
when the work was over, Mrs. Eph
Huntington and Taylor Woolsey served
up to the boys hot coffee and other good
things to warm them up, making them
feel that there are those who appreciate
to some extent what it is to work at o
