THE BUSY Bee.
1t Gets a Larger and Better Hive
and Makes Other Needed
Improvements.

The BEES business In Council Bluff
has grown rapidly and steadily, necessi
tating various changes for the better,
The chief change Of late Is the remova
Into larger and better quarters. The OLD
rooms at No. Z Pearl street, have beer
forsaken, and the BEE can now be found
in Its new building, No. IL Pearl street,
nearly opposite the old quarters, and il
a few days the furnishings and fittings
will be finished making as complete
newspaper Office and job rooms as there
are In the city. The establishment has q
frontage Of twenty feet and a depth ot
eighty feet, with basement of same size,
With new floors, new front, and freshly
painted and papered throughout, the BEES
new quarters are all that could bs de-
sited.
Three years age THE BEE had a little
room on the second floor, In q Broadway
block, scantily furnished, while a CORE.
spondent and two or three carrier boys
composed the force. One Council Bluff
advertisement looked lonesome enough
in Its columns. The BEE has grown
greatly since then. The public appreci
ates evidently a real newspaper, and
business men have by actual tests proved
to their " satisfaction that THE BEE Ia
the best advertising medium In the west,
so that while the subscription list Is
larger than any other paper in this city,
the advertising space is In Inc ressir g
demand among wide.awake Council
Bluffs merchants.
The BEES job department, of which
Mr.. P, M. Pryor is the proprietor, has
also been kept busy and growing. Its
facilities have been doubled the past
year, and all the material Is new and of
the latest and best, 80 that for fine com.
mercial printing no Office can excel it.
New atyles Of type and new material
are being added monthly in accordance
with the policy followed ever since the
opening of this office, so that patrons are
given a chance to get the very best and
the very latest styles, and special atten-
ton is given to clean, tasty work, while
Prices will always be as low as they can
be made anywhere on frat class work.
The BEE now gives employment to
seventeen persons In Council Bluffs. Its
papers are purchased and Its advertising
space leased by 81. w. Tilton, and all
connected with the Council Bluffs Office
have resided here for several years, and
their interests are all identified with the
interests of the city.
Among the minor improvements In the
office is the addition of q Remington
typewriter fer editorial and reportorial
use. Other sddIti onr are contemplated,
30 that there may be no lack of convent
ences or facilities for transacting the In
oreasing business and accommodating the
public.
THE BEE has confidence In Council
Bluffs future, and has planted Itself here
not only to stay, but to grow with the
city, and Council Bluffs best interests
I'LL olw,ya ha advocated in its columns.

For 1t sealed party's fate.
That party was for plumber,

For they rent their throats asunder
Crying, keep the rdsedLs out"
Their battle-fag--the bloody shirt
From every rostrum waved;
Their battle-cry--"boys, don't desert
Remember, you were enslayed.
They to passions and to prejudice
OF co'pd men appeal
To gain themselves an Office
Against their county's veal.
But the cold mans now beginning
For himself some to reflect,
Hoping thereby Of winning
Confidence and self-respect.

For helping in the rout; ~

Have KEPT the rascals out. d

Was lie Really Shot!

To THE EDITOR: On the % day of March,
1865, while the Seventeenth Corps was en-
camped near Black Creek S. c., drcary driz-
Zly day, an order came to Gen Blair to have
one of his prisoners taken out and shot in re-
taliation for "foragcrs" murdered and mutt
lated by the Confederate Wheeler or Hampden
cavalry. The carrying out of this order fell
to the lot of our Provost Marshal, which TO
him, proved very unpleasant task, as the Sc
guel will show.
The prisoners, numbering over 200, were
kept near headquarters surrounded by guard
of infantry. A new guard-line was formed,
inclosing space equal in size to the one occu-
pied by the prisoners the nearest point touch
ing the old line. Al this point, and between
two guards, the Marshal took his position
holding a dcep-crowned hat in which were
placed AS many ballots or slips of paper as there
were prisoners all blank save one, on which
there was inscribed the word Death" The
hat kept closed, excepting a space sufii-
GENTLY large TO admit the hand of each pris-
oner as he passed to draw therefrom his doom
When the drawing commenced everything
guictcd down to a deathiike stiffness, and as
the roll call progressed the anxiety increased
much, | think, with the few lookeIs-on as
with those directly interested, for some of
them showed not the slightest concern, i'll fact
rather seemed TO enjoy it-steppng brisky
forward when their names were called and
drawing from the hat the Omin0us slip which
was to decide their fate, with anything but the
solemnity the occasion seemed TO deserve.
When at last the name of Miller was reached,
a rather tall man, plainly dressed in homcspun
and verging on 80 years Of age, came reluc-
family forward and essayed to pass without
drawing, but was stopped by the guard and
told what to do; he then mcrVOusly put his
hand III and getting ticket raised it nearly
out OF the hat, but fearing he had the wrong
one, dropped it and took another, which, on
bringing to the light, proved TO be his death
warrant. He WAS at once placed in charge OF
guard and marched off, in a kind of dazed
condition, toward headquarters, but by the
time he reached there he had found his tongue
and, with the clOquence of despair, plead and
implored that his life be spared, claiming he
had been conscripted the day before being cap
tured; that he never had and never intended
to fire gun III the service; said his home was
but few miles back where he had wife and
nine children wholly dependent on him for
their sustcnance His touching appeals for
mercy were more than we who were not
obliged to near could stand, and choking
down our emotion we turned silently and sor-
rowfuily to our quarters realizing more fully
than ever how terrible were the necessities of
war.
Should this meet the eye of any comrade who
witnessed the closing scene Of this tragedy
would like to hear from him, as it was whis-
pered about camp that evening that Miller, in
stead of being executed, was marched out of
sight of camp and released.-W. w. ALLEN,
Signal Officer, Seventeenth Corps, Knoxville,
Tenn.
