Old Cemeteries.

Those who think that they can prevent
mistaken. They may delay its improvement,
but that Is all. If it is not improved this
year, it will be at some time not very far in
the future.
In nearly all the older cities of the country
there have been the same sort of contests
with regard to old cemeteries as that which
is now going on this city, and in about every
instance those who have been the DIRECTORS
have been defeated. In some instances
they have made long fight, but they were
finally compelled to yield. There are no
doubt people in this city who can tell some
thing about contests over old grave yards
in Baltimore, Wilmington, Del, Philadel
phia, and other places. What, for instance,
has become of the old Cathedral Gene
terry of Baltimore, in which were buried
the dead of many of the oldest and pest
known families of Maryland2 Can a trace
of it be found now2 A half-dozen streets
will soon run through it, and blocks of
houses will occupy it,
The opposition to disturbing it was
strong, but it was not strong enough to re
sist the spirit of progress which had taken
possession of the city. Those who cared for
the dead they had buried there had the re
mains removed because they saw that death
was weakening their opposition, and that it
was only question of time when the advo
Gates of improvement would prevail While
they had the opportunity, therefore, they
performed the duty which they thought
due to their dead. In this respect they
acted wisely. They were convinced that
they would be showing more respect for
their dead by removing the remains of
them to place sacred to the dead, and far
away from the rumble and roar of com
merce, rather than by attempting to check
the advance of improvements.
Attention is called to the fate of this ia
nous old Baltimore burying ground, not
in the spirit of criticism. but rather to show
how useless it is to attempt to stay the
march Of progress. Families gradually dis
appear and none is left to care for things
which they regarded as sacred Wise and
sincere are they who care for their own
sacred things before death renders them
powerless to do so, and sincere are they who
question themselves closely to make sure
that they object to the Improvement of the
old cemetery because of feeling or respect
for the dead rather than from q mere spirit
of opposition.

A POEM.

BY A RAILROAD MAN.
What's the use of kicking,
When your stomach's full of pie;
A big laugh you'd better tackle,
For tomorrow you may die.
But if your refrigerator's empty,
And your vest is getting loose,
Its time to fight, by thunder,
Or hold up the flag of truce.
Stop, my friend, there is way,
To fix your vest without-a krlncle;
Go call upon your Uncle Jesse,
He'll put you on the wrinkle.
Uncle Jesse's curious chap,
I've seen him stand and boiler,
With solid silver watch and chain
And it only brought dollar.
We trade with Uncle Jesse
AS we find him straight and square,
If we really need dollar
We are sure to get it there.
We often thought his business
Would fill man with gall;
But when Emerson finds us worthy
He's got cash enough for all.

The Ayoca Court.

The attempt to have the branch court at
Avoca abolished has fallen down. A bill
abolishing the court has been before the
house committee at Des Moines, but on Sat
urday that committee reported adversely to
it, thus practically killing it. The movement
was started partly because Of the dissatisfac-
tion felt at having double place in this
county for holding terms of the district court
it leading to many complications and Difficult
ties Another potent reason for trying to
abolish the court was the attempt on the part
Of Avoca to have a term also of the grand
Jury, and to have deputy county treasurer
and deputy recorder stationed there, in fact
making second county seat of Avoca. A
bill for this purpose was introduced in the
legislature, but the fate of this is not yet
known. 1t is claimed by some that the pres
ent branch of the district court at Avoca is so
organized as to throw grave doubts upon the
legality of judgments given in the court
there. The Avoca people have furnished
without cost to the county very neat little
court house, and it seems that this should en-
title them to some consideration in the set
ting of the knotty question as to whether
Council Bluffs is not enough of a county seat
to answer the purposes of the whole county.

Hold TO the HospitaI,

Council Bluffs win soon have to step into
the ring and ''come down" handsomely if it
desires to have st. Bernard's hospital become
permanently located here, as the sisters have
received an offer Of nearly $4,000 if they
will remove this institution to another city.
They do not own their present quarters in
this city, and this offer from outside will en-
able them to erect suitable buildings, etc, If
they decide TO accept it. Their work since
locating here is well known to all, and there
is no question but what they have done a
great deal of good. They are well pleased
with this city and if rendered the necessary
financial encouragement will remain here.
Their present location on Fourth street is not
adapted TO their work, and as it has been re-
ported that the Geise property in the east
ern part of the city, is for sale, an effort will
be made to secure il for them, The Catholics
of this city are very anxious TO have the hos
pital remain here, and are willing to raise a
large part of the amount needed TO secure a
suitable location. II is hoped that the pub
lie will respond literally TO so worthy an OBJ
1ect.
