Boss of the Household.

/ doubt if men realize what it is to
have won the love Of a good woman. He
who has done that has made a success
in life, even though he dies in the
gutter.
No man has right to regard himself
as the boss of the household. The
family should be an affair of co-partner-
ship. No man has right to assassinate
the Joy Of a day in his own house, and
no woman should be compelled to live
with cross man. Treat your wife like
"a tender flower, and she will ti!l your
life with the perfume of love. And, to
begin with, court your wife. Don
think your wife's love is not of sufficient
value to take care of after you have
secured it.

Mr. Thomas Donaldson, in his careful
history Of the public domain, estimates
the amount given in the way Of grants
90 the public railroads since the first
grant of 1850 to the Illinois Central rail
road at 155, 50A99i59 acres. The grand
total patented up 10 the close of the
fiscal year 1883 is given as 45,G4I347. .4S
acres, or a territory larger than the State
of New York, which contains 81 46S, 500
acres. Ii is probable that the grants to
railroads will reach up to 100000, ,OO0
acres. and that 5000 900 will be pat
eutcd in satisfaction of all claims.
The amount granted TO railroads which
have forfeited these grants is estimated
to be in the neighborhood of 100000, 600,
over three times the size Of lhe State of
New York

CONFIDENCE CROOKS.
What They may Devour and
Who They may Gull.

Within the past few days number of
well known confidence men have been
noticed hanging about the city. One of
them, known as Freddy" used to be
quite notorious in these parts, but has
qeen away for some time. Another, one
of whose eyes are so peculiar as to iden-
tify him easily and to secure for him the
name of "Weeping.eyed Charlie" is also
hanging about here. In connection with
their appearance here, there arlle various
reports of tricks being turned. Day be-
fore yesterday, a simple fellow was conf
denced out of all the money he had,
So, the old trick being played
Of hiring him to go to work on a farm,
and then his employer borrowing a little
money from the greeney, on the pretense
that he would return 1t just as soon as he
could get q bill changed. This trick was
turned on Main street, near Willow ave-
nue., right In the heart of the city.
Another trick of about the same nature
and size, was played at one of the dopots
yesterday. AS the police are posted on
these fellows, the public may expect to
SEQ them run In instead of being allowed
to have ths liberty of the city.

1.-THE Newspaper Fiend."

The many friends of G. S. Clark, known
Familiarity here as ''the newspaper fiend,"
have been wondering not a little lately
why he was keeping so quiet in his new
home, In O'Brien, Florida. 1t seems
from late papers from there that he has
been keeping himself too buslly concerned
there to do do much letter writing to his
northern friends. Besides working on
his fruit and vegetable plantation, which
occupation is really making him
fat enough to almost cast a shadow,
he INDUCES In occasional newspaper
work. He wouldn't be himself unless
he could do a little of that. He seems
to handle the pen just as nimbly as when
he carried the belt as the champion
news-gatherer of the Hawkeye state, and
Is helping northern emigration by numer-
GUS letters from the south, Is ''whooping
up" the new constitution by articles In
the Savannah News, and other prominent
papers; and is doing his best to boom
the town In which he has settled. To
cap the climax, Clark has been chosen
secretary of a new hotel company In
O'Brlen, which is to put up a S., 600
building.

Board of Trade.

At the meeting of the board of trade
last evening" 1t was deemed best to post
pone the annual election Of officers until
next Friday evening, when 1t is expected
there will be a larger attendance. Judge
James and Col. Chapman were appointed
a special committee to report next Friday
evening concerning the proposed new
bridge. 1t is expected that some inter
esting facts will be revealed at that time.
The delegation of the Baltimore board of
trade who visited this city two years ago,
have sent to the board of trade of this
city a large picture representing the ele-
vators and depots of that city, elegantly
framed and forming a!beautlful tribute to
the Council Bluffs board. The secretary
was instructed to make a suitable &C.
acknowledgement of the gilt.

BE vaJ going further west, and finding
that he would have to go to the transfer
depot to get the train that he wanted, he
got q hack to take him there. On reaching
the transfer, the hsckmsn wanted Sc
fare. The German would not, In fact
could not, pay such an amount, and an
alteration ensued, which ended In his
paying one dollar. He say that then the
hack-driver and a man who was with
him threw him into the hack again, and
taking him q little ways from the trans
fer, pounded him up badly end took all
the money he had, only 50, and took his

team of bays, and that he could tell the
man IL he should see him again,
40 the police started out with him
to hunt the hack.drlver up. The
German pointed out Pat Villiscs,
who was standing on the sidewalk on
Broadway, and said he was the man.
Villisca drives one of Martins hacks, but
the team is a white and sorrel instead of
boys. Villisca denied knowing anything
about the matter, but the German In
sistlng that he was the one, he was ar
rested, and gave bonds, to appear this
morning to answer the grave charge of
robbery.
Later In the day the German seemed
not 30 sure about the identity of the
hackman, and last evening 1t was reported
that he had concluded to drop the case,
and had been paid back his money and
had left the city.

the people that their wants should be

new council to got organized, and get
fairly down to butiness, and now they
begin to think they have waited almost
lcng enough. Alderman Shugart made q
move at the lOst council meeting to get
something done, and 1t is to be hoped
that soon the desired relief may be given

II was with regret that the citizens
yesterday learned that Mr.. j. Mueller,
the we'll known music dealer, was fnan-
clally embarrassed. 1t has been known
for some time among certain circles, but
the public revelation came yesterday,
Mr.. Watts, of the Savings Bank, tenn
porarily taking possession of the stock,
representing the claims of the bank and
of Lyon, Healey & Co., of Chicago. 1t
Is supposed that Mr.. Mueller has been
carrying a very much heavier stock than
the times and the trade warranted. 1t
counts up between $50, 900 and $50, 900
| of musical instruments and toys. This
music house Is one which would prove q

Ing 1t up, and carrying on the business,
much Of which has necessarily been on
credit, has proved too great for Mr.. Musl-
ler's capital. His enterprise has been
ahead Of the times and ahead of the field
in which he has worked so zealously, and
this financial setback is therefore a just
cause for regret by all. His name Is 80
we'll known and 80 closely connected with
this branch of trade, his reputation as q
salesman and ss an honest bushes mai

let him drop out of the ranks, and while
protecting their interests, 1t Is believed
that they will arrange in some manner u
that he can 60 on with the business. i
is to be hoped that Mr. Musller's emhsr-
rAssment will provo only temporary, snt
that he will yet be enabled to kssp hi
