Frank James i'm Town.

A middle-aged, business-like appearing
man was standing at Officer II Pusey's book
counter yesterday. endeavoring to get a draft
cashed for SEQ. The bank clerk had refused
as there was no one to identify the stranger.
isn't there any one around here from Mis-
souri!" asked the stranger. There was no
one, and the suggestion was made that there
was a Missouri man at the Globe Office. He
stepped in there, and meeting Dan Farrell,
explained to him his dilemma. The stranger
was broke" and wanted to be identified at
the bank. He did not care to give his name.
Ex-Sherif Farrell remarked, "You needn't
tell me your NAME, ! know you. You're
Frank James" 1t was n surprise party, but
Farrell soon recalled the incidents of "a
former meeting.
Frank James is now engaged in business
in Independence, Mo. He has recently been
to Saltwater, Mimi, to visit his brother
there, and was on his way homeward. when
running short of funds, he had to make his
id entity known.

NEWS In COUNCIL BLUFFS.
A Move to Call Alderman Water
man to Account.
THE CITY WINS THE LYMAN CASE
Prisoners Sentenced { o the Peniten-
tiary The Churches To-day
Frank James in Town-Re-
publican Rally.
Getting After An Alderman.

1t seems that the public is not entirely sat
isficd with everything done by the council
during the past year, and is taking steps to
make it interesting for some Of the members
of that body. Proceedings have been in
stituted to impeach Alderman Waterman.
This member of the council is the chairman
of the fire committee, and has found it very
convenient, since being in Office, to send the
fire department apparatus around to his car
riage mandatory on North Main street to
receive a coat of paint at SIS per hose reel,
and so on down the list. The law distinctly
says that no alderman shall contract 70 do
any work for the city, hence The impending
row.
When Waterman ordered the two double
reels painted last spring there was quite a
howl, but nothing was done about it but to
pay the bills when they were presented.
Everything went on quietly until q Few days
ago, when the single hook ard ladder truck
followed in the wakeo of the horse reels to the
top floor of Waterman's carriage repository.
Then the taxpayers began to kick, and they
kicked hard. Messrs. MINISTER q Lindt are
the attorneys for the prosecutors of the case.
They are somewhat reticent about it, but ex-
press the belief that it does not amount to
much. TIL general sentiments OF the citizens
was expressed by a prominent business man
yesterday.
He said: ave don't kick so much because
he did the work, as because he charged four
prices for it after it was done"
On the other side Alderman Waterman
has at least the advantage of precedent on
his side. 1t has been customary, notwith-
standing the statutory prohibition, TO buy
city supplies from business houses in which
aldermen were interested. Lumber has been
bought Of aldermen, hardware, furniture
and other supplies. Probably in Alderman
Watecman's case there would be no such
talk as at present were it not for the peculiar
circumstances The fire department boys
are kept on duty a good many hours at a
stretch, and although in some respects they
more than earn their salaries, vet they have
much idle time on their hands. Heretofore
they have employed part Of this in repaint-
ing the hose carts and have done some excel
lent work. The saving to the city was con-
siderable. 1t seems that If the city ever
needed to be economical it is now, when
there are so many improvements to pay for.
1t is understood that John Short is the
chief hacker of the Impeachment move. If
it has no stronger backing than this the
alderman is in no immediate danger.

At their last meeting, among other
things, the Hillsboro Grange elm
phatically resolved as follows; That
we are not in favor of the purchase
bv the State of Oregon, of the canal
and locks at the falls of the Will
annette river at Oregon City, but in
sist that legislation should be had at
this session of the Legislature look
log to lowering of the rates of toll
for tbe passage of persons and
property through said locks, and
such management of the same as
shall, after the first of January, 1890,
make the Willamette a free river.
That we demand the following re-
forms: An amendment to the
constitution of the United States
pro yiding for the election of United
States senators by direct vote OF the
people of the several states. That
each money order postoffice in the
United States shall be made saw
ings bank. That the national gov
ernment shall establish a postal
Telegraph system. That this Grange
is opposed to the appropriation of
any more of the fund set apart for
the state agricultural college at Cor
wallis while the title OF the same is
in doubt, and while the school re-
mains under sectarian control, and
while the board of regents are not
practical farmers. That In our
opinion the present farm of 80 acres
is too small for the use of the
students of such an institution, 100
acres being the least amount Of land
requisite for the purpose, 10 giving
the students a practical knowledge
of agricultural industries.

A snit over 1hirlr. .aye Gems.

Justice Goodelps court Saturday
was occupied in hearing evidence in
the case of the Wire Fence Co., by
their attorney, Richardson VS., j. G.
Cawood of Turner. The suit grew
out of the non-payment of balance
of thirty-fve cents due on note for
$40 given by Cawood. On this note
he claimed to have made three pay
ments, aggregating Sl4.GO and filed
such contra papers, but the court
could find no record of II third pay
ment and gave Judgment for bel
ance of thirty-five cents, together
with an attorney fee of SIS and the
costs of the suit, amounting in all
to nearly $25. Law is an expensive
luxury, decidedly.

Cnt His Eve Out.

NJ. Yoder arrived in the city
last night from his home near
Woodburn, bringing with him a
young son who is suffering untold
agonies, the result of an accident
that happened him. The boy is but
seven years of age, and one day
about month ago he was cutting a
stick with a knife, holding the
stick in front of and drawing the
knife toward himself, when the
blade slipped and was driven into
his eye. Since that time the boy
has been in great agony and to-day
his father is here to have a careful
examination of the eye made. 1t is
thought the pupil is lost, as the
knife could not very easily have
missed it. The right eye is the one
injured and the left one is so weak
from irritation that unless some
thing is done at once Mr.. YOder
fears the sight oft will also be lost.
Mr.. Yoder is a recent arrival in
Oregon, having reached the state in
November. He is from Missouri
and is brother of our county super
intendent of schools.
