Postomce Thieves Caught.

Word was received yesterday from St
Joseph, Mo, announcing that the two fellows
who robbed the postoflice at Marne, Ia, last
Friday night have been caught there. I'm
mediately after leaving Marne they struck
out for Omaha, where they disposed of a
lot of stamps and articles of iewelry which
they stole. From there they returned to
this side of the river and went south
United States Deputy Marshal Richards
tracked them down on the west side of the
river and nabbed them just as they reached
st. Joe. They are to be brought to Council
Bluffs for hearing There is u strong case
against them, as lot of stamps were found
in their pockets when they were arrested
There is strong probability that another
serious charge will be made against them be-
fore they are out of Uncle Sans clutches
About ten days ago the postoffice at Des
Moines was burglarized About midnight
Jesse Check, the assistant postmaster en-
tered the place for something or other, but
he had no sooner got inside of the door until
he was struck terrific blow on the head
He caught glimpse of two men who were
there, and the description he gives of them
hts the two men now under arrest To dot
When they are taken TO Des Moines for keep
ing Mr.. Cheek will have chance to identity
them.

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
City Financial Affairs in Most Excellent
Condition.
CITY TREASURER KlNNEHANS REPORT
Cash on Hand to the Amount OF $50, 800
Despite tue Decrease In Assessment-A
showing OF which Amy city
Might Feel Proud.

The annual report Of City Treasurer Kin
nchan for the year closing March / shows an
excellent state of affairs in the matter of
city finances. There has been a reduction in
the receipts in all but two directions, the po-
lice fund and the funds for improvements
The last named funds are not affected by the
decrease in the tax levy which has been
brought about by the present administra.
tion, and the police fund is maintained solely
by the proceeds from city crime or in
other words from the fines imposed on Grim
inals in city cases. The police fund this year
has reached the $50, 600 mark 81 900 beyond
that of last year, and far in excess of any
preceding year. The disbursements in this
fund are $1,000 in excess OF last year
this large increase being accounted for by
the expenditure of $4,000 attorney fees in
the park cases and - 600 IN building the new
city nall. This is the only fund where there
has been an increase in expenditures during
the past year The decrease in the entire
amount required TO keep the wheels of the
city government creased has been $}l ,2j9
from the amount spent during the year end
ing March /, 1892, and in spite of the decrease
in assessment there is now cash on hand to
the amount of SS6,5 as compared with $3l.-
33l at the time the treasurer made his pre-
vious report The following is the summary
of this years report:

ELI Gets the Goods.

j. j. Stewart, the referee to whom Judge
Thornell referred the attachment case
which was commenced some time ago by
Paxton X Gallagher and ID. NJ. Steele X Co.
of Omaha against Ed n. Brown, with Eli
Brown of this city as intervenor, made his
report yesterday. Brown, it will be rcmem-
bcered, executed chattel mortgage last De
cember for the amount of 1000, in favor of
his brother, Eli, and his stock of groceries in
Omaha was taken possession of under the
mortgage. Paxton * Gallagher and ID. NJ.
Steele alleged that the mortgage had
been executed with intent to defraud the
creditors, and thCreupon sued out writs of
attachment for the stock. In the meantime
the stock had been moved to this side of the
river. 1t was afterwards sold in part under
the attachment and Eli Brown bought it of
the man to whom the sheriff knocked it
down Brown then came into the case as
intcrvenor Referee Stewart in his report
finds that the mortgage to Eli Brown was
valid, there being no evidence to show fraud.
He therefore decides both cases in his favor.

Those who were instrumental in having
the city council vacate Fourteenth avenue
for the benefit of Deere, Wells & Co.
think that an altogether too ex-
allied opinion of the value of the
property in question is held by those who
are now criticisng the action of the council.
As matter of fact, in 1869 that avenue. to-
gether with number of others, was given
up exclusively TO the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railway company, and the ordinance
by which this transfer was made appears on
page $40 of the compiled city ordinances.
As result Of this ordinance the
city has not the slightest claim
TO the street, except to keep
IL in repair And if anyone fell dow n and
sustained injuries on the street the city
would have been the one to stand the eX-
pense OF the lawsuit, That being the case
IL is to be very much doubted if anyone
could have been found who would pay s. 500
FOR the street, as claimed, inasmuch as he
would have TO contest his right with a rail
way company after he got it. AS for the
heirs OF the original owners Of the property

The Chautauqua, which has laid buried
for the past eight months. may, perhaps, be
resurrected next year, provided united ac-
tion can be secured on the part of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association. The
trouble with the Chaatauqua as a paying in
vestment, or rather nonpaying investment,
has always been acknowledged to be that it
was too far from the city and located in too
inaccessible place There is talk now
among the leaders of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association which may re-
suit in the amphtheater being removed
nearer the city. Their theory is that the
land belonging to the association can be sold
for enough to pay off the debts in
Cured in building the amphitheater and to
do the moving, and that some real estate
owner can doubtless be found who will do
nate four or five acres of land to the assem-
bly, for the sake of the profit which will un-
doubtedly result from the proximity of an
institution of the kind A tract of land just
southeast of Fairmount park and another in
the vicinity of MINISTER springs are so far
under the eagle eyes of the advocates of the
scheme, and in either of these cases there is
but little doubt that an assembly would pay
expenses, and more, too. The Merchants
and Manufacturers association is actually in
business, so it is said by those belonging,
and it is proposed to show this to the public
in the near future by arranging series of
banquetS for the members, at which projects
for the benefit of the city will be talked
over.
