How It Will Be Observed in Omaha, Fine List of Amusements Pre- sented, 1f people weren't well acquainted with the fact that this was the Fourth of July they would have been re- minded of it by the youthful popula- tion yesterday. The quiet and repose ot those who usually desire to make Bunday a day of rest were continually disturbed by the omnipresent small bey, who made life miserable for them by discharging fire-crackers and toy pistols. Of course the din was a mere side-show to what it will be to-day but it was cortainly sufficiont to satisfy the cravings of most people. Arrangements have been made to spend the day in the pleasantest man- ner possible, One of the great points of interest will be the Omaha driving park. The programme for the ocea- sion is quite comprehensive, and em- braces horse racing, a base ball match, Indian war dances, abaloon ascension, and a bicycle race. The first race to take place to-day is that of the 2:45 class, 8200; $86 to first horse; 860 to second horse; 840 to third horse; $20 to fourth horse. In the free for all, $400; 8185 to first horse; 8100 to second horse; 756 to third horse; 840 to fourth horse. The conditions are that trotting races are to bomile heats, best three in five to harness, the rules of the na- tional trotting association to govern, The entrance fees will be ten per cent of the purse, the money to ac- company the nomination. Three horses must be entered and two start. The horse distancing the field recoives the first money only. The association reserves the right to post- pone the races on account of the weather. The entries for the 2:46 race are Will Tler, Dora Duke and Molly Patchen, and for the free-for-all they are Mollic Darling, Granger, Dave Mount and May Clark. The Indian warriors who partici- pate in the war dances will arrive in the city early in the morning. Maj. Poarman, who is in charge of them having already arrived. The members of the base ball club, composed of the clerks in the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Gulf railroad offices at Kansas City, arrived yesterday in charge of their manager, M. C. Calhoun. They are in excellent trim and a good game —Judging from the miscellancous char- acter of the fireworks in the city last night one would think the ¥ourth commenced on the 3d, irrespective of the Sabbath, —Rev. Dr. Jameson of this city has nc- cepted the call to becomo pastor of the First Baptist cburch of Saginaw, Mich., and will remove to that oity. the first ot next month, Mrs, Jameson leaves sooner fora visit to friends in Missouri, —Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock Rev., J, W. Harsha preached a short ser- mon on the occasion of the'dedication of the Southwest Mission Chapel, on the corner of Twenty-fifth and Leavenworth streets, The little wooden structure which has just Deen completed was filled, Rev, A, F, Sherrill will preach there next Sunday af- ternoon. —Yesterday morning between nine and teh o'clock a dispute arose in Lang's sa- loon, comer of “Thirteenth and Jackson stroets, between some young men and Mr, Lang. As one of the young men was leay- ing he took up a glass and deliberately threw it at Mr. Lang. 1t struck him over theleft eye, cutting hin, somewhat, The young men immediately decamped, The name of the young man who threw the glass is ot known, may be expected between them and the B. & M. to-day. Every arrangement has been com- pleted for the successful ascension of J. H Pierco in his air-ship “Ranger.” This will take place in the afternoon, It is expected that the bicycle race will prove a most interosting feature, Probably twenty-five men will enter the contest, including members of Omaha and outside clubs, AT OTHER POINTS, The Omaha Mwennerchor will hold a picnic in Bauman's garden, located on Sixteenth street. Good music will be in attendance and every arrangement made for a good time. ‘The clorks from different banks in the city and those ‘employed by S, P, Morse & Co. will play a match game of base ball, beginning at 9 o’clock in the morning. In the evening a ball will be given at Clark’s hall by the Emmet monu- ment association. The paid firemen's association hold & ball in Masonic hall, " No Paper. SUNDAY SPREES. There will be no afternoon edition of e Tue Bek to-day and no morning edi- tion to-morrow, B Looking For a Lawbreaker, Sheriff G. W, Wells, of Colfax county, wasin town yesterday searching for a man named John White, who has got into trouble by the irregular disposition of mortgaged property. John White registered at the Occi- dental hotel, this city, on Tuesday last as from Leigh, Neb., which is the name of a small postoffice in the northern part of Colfax county, and remained till after dinner Friday, when fie told the Occidental folks he was going home to Colfax county, His bill was paid and nothing has been Leard from him since, Change of Name and Proprietor. The Omaha Sunday Item is no more. It was sold Saturday night to H. R. Persinger, late editor of The Des Moines Mail Car, who will en- large the paper to eight pages, and change the name to The Saturday Evening Times, Its former editor and founder, George A. Percival, will hereafter give hls entire atten- tion to his business in Central City, where he is cashier of & bank. B Complaint Withdrawn: The “wayward son” who was ar- rested a few nights ago for obtaining money under false pretenses in sign- ing hasjfather's name to a check and getting a merchant to cash it, was ar- raigned yesterday in the police court when the complaint was withdrawn wud the case dismissed. It is reported the affair was settled by his brother- in-law, Seventeen Persons Who Will Celebrate the Day in Jail, Yestorday was a day too close to the Fourth for those inclined to semi- occasional sprees, and 8o a large num- ber commenced to celebrate a day in advance, As usual with that class, the first thing was to get uncomforta- bly drunk and the last #o spend the night under the tender watcheare of City Jailer McClure, Among the most important cases was a bloody fight near a saloon in the vicinity of Eloventh street and Capi- tol avenue, in which a man named Miller was terribly beaten and cut by W Ranney. The weapon used was a beer glass. ‘The victim was carried to the office of Dr. Spens, where he was washed and sewed up, it being nocessary to take fourteen stitchos in his scalp and face. The man Ranney was arrested by Officer McCune and taken before fJudge Bencke, who re- manded him to the county jailfor safe keeping. In the mean time the wounded man is reported to be in a very bad condition, In the afternocon a printer and another young man hired a buggy at McShane's stablos aud during the drive got drunk, While coming down Bt. Mary’s avenue they “let the ani- mal out” for a race, when it became unmanagable and ran away. Near Seventeenth street the horse ran into I'HE OMAHA DAILY BEE MONDAY, JULY 4, 1881, picked himself up, ran away, leaving his companion to face theconsequences alone. The young man was arrested and,upon giving a bond of $50 for his appearance before Judge Beneke on Tuesday next, was released. Later in the day a fight occurred in the vicinity of Homan's livery stable on Thirteenth street, between a cou- ple of men who disagreed in their views concerning the wife of one of them. During the fight one of them received a bad cut in the lip, although with what it was done is as yet unknown. Both wore arrested and lodged in jail. The remainder of the seventeen who this morning languish in jail were, in the technical language of the police, “only plain drunks.” THE ASSASSIN'S ATTEMPT Bishop Olarkson Discoursed Upon the Matter Yes- terday. At Trinity church yesterday morn- ing the Rt. Rev. Robert H. Clarkson preached an eloquent secmon, and in the course of his remarks spoke very touchingly upon the shooting of Pres- ident Garfield. His sermon thrcugh- out, while dispassionate, showed that he folt a deep sorrow at the affliction which has beenso suddenly hurled upon the people in the probably successful attempt of an assassin upon the presi- dent’s life. Ho said that the taking of the government out of tried hands and putting it into untried hands would be likely to prove very injurious to our institutions. He said that Garfield deserved all praise for his manner of life, that he had worked himself up from the common level to the' greatest position within the gift of the people of this country, and that he had well and honorably filled the place. That people now could not possibly see what part the hand of Providence had in the matter and that this fact caused feelings of great bitterness against,the assassin in the minds of all classes. Ho referred to Lincoln's death as having occurred at a time when the country, just re- covering from the effects of the war, was distracted and said that the bit- terness of political strife probably had its influence on the death of the martry president, but in Garfield's case no such motive could be attribut- ed. Tt was impossible to see the wis- dom of God in the assassin’s attempt on the president, but that it would all appear in time. The bishop prayed fervently for the recovery of the president, and his en- tire congregation were deeply affected by his earncst manner of speaking, and all unite in saying that it was the outpouring of a sympathetic heart, AT THE BLUFFS. How the Glorious Fourth Will be Celebrated. Arrangement to Spend the Day at Glendale. Council Holds Its Regular Sesaion. Everything of Interest that Has Transpired. COUNCIL SESSION. MATTERS OF PUBLIC INTBREST TRANS- v ACTED, A regular session of the council took place last Friday evening, The report of the chief of police showing 110 arrests and $276.10 col- lected in fines during the month of June, and of the recorder showing the total of $320.86 collected for licenses of saloons, circus and exhibitions of various kinds, and of the city poll-tax collected, showing 8112 collections for June, was filed. 3 The report of city engineer submit- ting survey of the proposed levee for the protection of the city against the Missouri river, with specifications of work, ete., was read. ' A committee comvosed;of Mayor W. K. Vaughan, Aldermen Churchill, Dawson, Cowin and Spetman, and Messrs. J. W. Chapman, A. €. Graham, John T. Baldwin, Wm. H. Bushnell and Thos. Officer, was ap- pointed to look after the matter. ‘I'ne report of City Treasurer Elwell for June, was as follows: Loan fund. General fund Redemption fu Judgment fund Union avenue fo Fairmont park fund Police fund. Cash in New Cash in Officer & Pusey Total . 810,066 15 A pel or change of grade of Oakland Avenue, was not granted Bids were received for grading on Union Avenue and laid aside unopen- ed for the present. Ordered that a second condemnation for right of way be made at once of all property be- tween Broadway and the creek. A committee on fire were authoriz- 87,194 61 78 remained upon the body. The re- mains were packed in a little box only about two and a half feet in length. To do this it was necessary to double the body in two and break some of the bones. The box was closely packed with the remainder of the household goods, ete. When first discovered it was thought a big sen- sation had been unearthed in the shape of a putrid corpse. THE BLUFPS IN BRIEF. No better example of the desirabil- ity of Council Bluffs as a manufactur- ing center can be given than the suc- cess already achieved by the Western Polish Co., No. 721 Lower Broadway. B. 8. Harington and E. P. Newell, two young and enterprising men from New England, about a year ago started west for the purpose of establishing themselves in the business of manu- facturing stove polish and blacking and located at this pomnt. Notwith- standing they were burned out about two months ago and were without in- surance, they are now,doing a rush- ing business and have an exten- stve trade. _Their trade extends from Chicago to Denver east and west and from St. Paul to St. Louis north and south. 8.1. Street, clerk of the courts, states that court business is unusually dull. Only twocandidates for examination presented their credentials to County Superintendent Cooper last month. Chancellor Ross, of Towa Oity, has received -intelligence that since he loft home his house has been bur- glarized, to what extent he is not in- formed. 7. 8. Platner has loased the middle store room in Platner's Block to James Brown, The Council Bluffs boating club, re- cently organized, is under the man- agement of Chas. S. Pease. Charles Barnard and Charles T. Officer. The St. Cecilia musical club of this city are evidently doing some fine work in musical culture, as their re- hearsals and entertainments well at- test. M. P. Rruner is a grass widower, his wife and children having gone to New York for a summer’s visit. Yesterday was a_delightful breezy summer day, and the cfiurchus were well filled. Quarterly meeting at the Broadway M. E. church yesterday. Presiding Elder W. 8. ilooker occupied the pulpit. The services were well at- tended. An alarm of fire was sounded about half past seven Saturday evening. In a twinkling the streets were thronged with people ready for excitement. It roved to be at the residence of D. C. 'ayne, on Main street, but was promptly extinguished. Cause: A boy threw a fire cracker through an open second story window while the family ed to receive bids for a new tower for fire alarm bell, A resolution that $900, the sum pro- vided for that purpose, be at once ex- pended in laying out Fairmount Park and that Mr. A. C. Graham be select- to act with the council committee in overseeing same, was adopted. The taking of dirt from Broadway and Fifth streets to regularly establish grade, was authorized. The painting of all telegraph and telephone poles in the city within deeply impressed with the loss which the country would sustain in the event of Garfield's death, Pioroe's Balloon, On Saturday while the *Rangor,” Pierce’s balloon, was filling with gas preparatory to being varnished it was blown by the action of wind against the gas house fence. Half a dozen rents, one of them very large, was the result. Pierce and a gang of men immediately set to workand soon had the ‘“‘Ranger” restored to a condition even superior that in which it was prevously, The work of varnish- ing it was then concluded The balloon will] be removed from the gas house to-day at 11 o'- clock. The route over which it will be taken will be Twelfth street to Chicago, out Chicago to Eighteenth, along Eighteenth to the fend of the street car line, and from there to the fair grounds. About fifty men will be wanted to help in transferring the bal- loen and all who so assist will be ad- mitted to the ground free. The occa- sion will undoubtedly be a most suc- cessful one. Poisoning Dogs. There is trouble brewing down on Thirteenth in the neighborhood of Bohemian Hall over the fact that some ono has been poisoning dogs. Last Saturday six died from the effects of poison, and several more yester- day. Itscems that whoever is doing the work is very careless about it The modus operandi is to spread poi- son on frosh meat and throw it around inthe yards and upon the walks, One lady complained to an officer that her little child had picked up & couple of picces of bologna sausage, in the hallway of her house, which were be- smeared with poison. The ofticers are on the track and will make it lively .- for the depredators if they are caught. ‘Waut to Celebrate. At a meeting of the leading barbers of the city held on June 29th, it was decided to close all the barber shops on July 4th in order to givb the em- ployes a proper chance to celebrate the day. A paper to that effect was signed by Cossly, Curry, Kirner, Stein, Elsasser, Wille, Myers, Wood, Frank, Kaufman, Delor, and Canfield. James &l&l, Secretary. Two Balls, There will be two balls this evening, @ lujuber wagon, breaking the buggy | that of the Emmett Monument asso- in many places and literally tearing | ciation at Clark’s hall and the Paid the harness from the horse's back.

An ordinance to widen Fifth Street to Sixteenth Avenue, fourteen feet wide off the west side to Pearl Street, was admitted to first reading. Ofticers were instructed to notify citizens: having on Fourth Street to repair their sidewalks at once, or the city will repair them at owner's cost. The committee on the construction of a sidewalk on the east side of Oak- land Avenue reported favorably. THE DAY WE CELEBRATE, The leading event to-day will be the grand celebration at Glendale. Ac- cording to the programme the pro- cession will form on Main, Pearl street and Willow avenue about 9:30 a, m, The following societies etc., in their order, are announced to par- ticipate: Council Bluffs Light Guards, Grand Army of the Republic, Vete- ran Soldier's association, Council Bluffs Fire Department, mayor and city council, St, Patrick’s benevolent nnciel{), and others. Marshal of the day, D. J. O'Neill, Assistant Mar- shals D. B. Daily, Chief P, Lacey, J. T. Hurley, F €. Newell, and Ed. Mott. The procession will be led by Olker's band. At Glendale music, speaking and refreshments will be the order of the day. Speaking by Mayor W. R. Vaughan, and B. J, Ryan and others, “‘GOD SAVE THE PRESIDENT,” At the several churches yesterday a spirit of sadness seemed to pervade the assemblies. One could plainly and painfully sce that thoughts of the wounded president were uppormost in the minds of all. The speakers gen- erally alluded m strong and touching words to the nation’s dire disaster — words of reverence and lovefor the president; words of strongest con- demnation of the worse than fiendish attempt upon his life; words of sym- pathy for the people and of hope for the nation. At the request of the pastors in some instances the entire congregation joined in silent prayer for the president. Every head was bowed. Many loyal ~ hearts all over the land sent up the eloguent, fervent prayer, ,‘God Save the Pr osi- dent.” ' A QUEER SHIPMENT, At the trnmfurrdurot, Saturday af- ternoon, as the freight transfer gang were unloading and loading freight, an ordinary looking freight box con- signed to T. 8, Buck, Oakland, Cali- fornia aroused the suspicion of the foreman on account of an unpleasant odor emanating from it, and he or- dered it to be opened. A body, de- composed and doubled up, was found in it together wi tombstone, hay- ing the followieg inscription; ‘‘Frank Buck, aged eighteen years, died Sep- tember 5th, 1876.” = Asgthe charge for shipping bodies is the same as first class enger rates it is tuought that the “above method was taken to avoid high rate. Now that it is discovered the body will be detained at Council Bluffs until the usual fare is paid for its shipment to California. Only shreds of flesh and pieces of clothing were at supper, The plans and specifications for the levee have been completed and sub- mitted by the Union Pacific folks,and the matter is now in excellent hands both on the part tf the city council and the board of trade. A telephone has been placed in this office by Mr. Gentry, the new man- ager. It works nicely. The Council Bluffs office of Tur Bee is now located at the corner of Broadway and Main. It is over ] the Savings Bank where all matters per- taining to subscription, advertising, ete,, will be promptly attended to. Subscriptions will be received either by postal card or telephone. Terms 20 cents per week, by carrier. Over 400 copies of THE BEE were sold from this office on Saturday. —All late papers were eagerly bought up on Saturday, as soon as they ap- peared on the street. Garfield’s condition was the all ab- sorbing topic yesterday, people eager- ly watched the bulleting and caught up every item of news. The favor- able reports afforded great relief and filled the hearts of all with hope and oy. Nothing has probably ever produced such a profound unanimous and uni- versal sensation 1n this city as the at- tempted as assination of the president. The pecple seem to have but one thought in this matter, loyalty is supreme. 'he postoftice will be open from 10 to 1i a. m. to-day. The mercury indicated 88° in the shade yesterday at 4 p. m, W. 8. Pettibone returned from Mil- waukee Saturday. Samuel Haas arrived home Satur- day evening from the far west. Edgar H. Scott and Willie Baird have returned home from Cornell Col- lege.

Improvements at the Post and an Increased Garrison, The appropriation by the last con- gress for purposes of improvement at Fort Omaha has becowe available and work is being rapidly pushed on the new officers’ quarters, which are soon to take the place of the rickety shells that so long have disgraced the enclos- ure, About $11,000 will belexpended in new buildings and other improve- ments and the end of the present sea- son will witness a greatly improved appearance in both quarters and grounds. The garrison is now enlarged by the addition of another company to the three which have heretofore been sta- tioned at the post, making four full companies and the regimental band under the command of Colonel King. Most of the officers of the depart- ment of the Platte have secured quar- ters in the city, in anticipation of the rapidly approaching removal of the headquarters to Omaha, This change will muke General Crook’s beautiful residence at the post available for an- other ocoupant, and Col.
