Points in His History That May not be Uninteresting. Every city has it's characters and Omaha has not been in existence this long without her's. One of Omaha’s pre-ominent *‘characters” is Grip. Grip, a8 everybody knows, is & dog, but there is more individuality crowd- ed into his little carcas than in a cart load of ordinary dogs. Grip is not a brute—even his stoutest But from chaw-bacon”’ handsome admirer will admit that. Tis sawed-off tail to his mouth none would make a change if they could. Other dogs have their admirers, but when it comes to cen- | tering the affections of the entire com It has been aptly said in ahother connection | munity Grip stands alone. that nature made but one Grip, and then broke the model. Looking at him in the abstract it is difficult to imagine how so much ugliness could - be comcontrated in such a small frame and with 8o little apparent effort. Now . |and then a cur is met that just a trifle - | lays over any other cur in the matter of mouth; another dog seems to con- centrate the ‘‘utterly utter” in the way of legs. These are remarkable things in their way, but stillare mere- ly distinctive features of separate dogs. The first case on record where nature has seen fit to group all these perfections was in Grip. A tradition has been handed down to the effect that even the stumpy tail was a part of his original make-up. While there are many who believe this because of the eccentricity otherwise displayed by nature in his general make-up, there are others who lock upon the state- ment with some suspicion. For mon- umental ugliness, pure and unadul- terated, Grip is-without a peer. Every now and then a weak imitation is put upon the market as a rival. For a few days and sometimes even a week they have their admirers, but all eventually return to. their fiest love and Grip's sway only becomes firmer, Around at Ramsey’s stable they have a young rug which some people pretend to ook upon as a rival of Grip. This animal has not reached Grip's mature age and is gifted with several inches more tail. These are drawbacks, but 1t must be acknowledged that the pup has a 1'\uculiur larboard grin that is altogether original. When he opens his mouth he exposes a cavity extend- ing from the right ear to the middle of the nose. At the same moment the other side of his mouth is in its normal condition. This peculiarity has gained for him many friends and warm admirers, The animal too has a retrousse nose, 'The word retrousse is used advisedly to avoid a pun on ug, This nose seems to have been roken in the muddle. It extends down a short way at an angle of forty- five degrees, then takes an upward shoot, of about the same degree. 'hese are all points in his favor as everybody will be free to confess, but still he 18 not a Grip and that set- tlos it. The demeanor of Grip is paralyzing to the beholder and always clicits un- feigned admiration. Grip did not in- troduce his killing swagger until a fow years ago. Heo appearcd upon the stage then in a real play, and never desconds to familiarity with any other dog since.

A GHEEIHRR - RATHER STRANGE. ‘I'wo Passengers a Conductor Failed to Discover, The Scrutinizing lye of a Phy- sician is More Successful. As the regular east bound U. P. train was leaving North Platte yes- terday afternoon it was noticed that something altogether out of the rout- ine was happening or about to hap- pen. The conductor bustled about with an air of importance as if he had something heavy on his mind. The Pullman car conductor, how- ever, scemed t feel the weightiest responsibility, although it was shared to a more or less extent by the colored porter. A short time after leaving North Platte the Pull- man conductor was noticed passing through the car putting a question to cvery gentleman. Everybody was on the anxious bench to learn what was in the wind, and it was finally devel- oped that a physician was being soarched for. One was finally found in Dr. N. Sposati, of Stockton, Cal. He immmediately disappeared in con. pany with the conductor into the stateroom of the Pullman. The con- | dnctor reappeared in a few moments but the doctor remained behind. Minutes passed and the doctor failed to appear. The conductor seemed roticont and worried. Finally a little warble was heard that 1s familiar to every well regulated household and this was followed by a shrill cxy that appeared to come from a ver: youthful but very vigorous pair of lungs. In a fow moments afterwards there followed more little screams, utterly distinct from the other, and then a double- barreled scream. The ladies in the car looked at each other sympathetic- ally and the gentlemen fidgeted about as if they were ill at ease, Considerable time elapsed before the doctor reappeared and then it gradually developed that a very protty young woman named Mrs Profit, who was on her way from Oakland, Cal., to the east, accompanied by her brother-in-law, had just become the mother of a handsome pair of twins One of them had died soon after birth, but the other was alive and apparently DAl e Aaatiiast O KRR was resting casily.

The Usual Batoh of Less Important Ocourrences THE NEW DRIVING PARK. ONE OF THE FINEST MILE COURSES IN . A. B. Me- Kune, one of the leading physicians, conceived the idea of constructing, in this rapidly growing city, a fair ground and trotting park of sufficient capacity to accommodate the whole Missouri vailey. His plans fully matured, he presented them to some of the leading Lusiness men, and en- | listed their co-operation at once. A company was ( zed under the name of the Council Blufls Driving Park association. Such men as N, M. Pusey, Joln W. Peregoy, J. W. Chapman, A, J. Crittenden, Henry H. Metealf, N. C. Phillips, Thomas Bow- man and P. Lacy subscribed liberally to the stock, and soon a sufficient amount was pledzed by the business men to insure the immediate success of the scheme. Although the high water caused some delay after the purchase of the land, soon after it had subsided ground was broken and the grading of a mile track was commenced under the gencral supervision of Dr. McKune, who employed Mr.;A. Hart- ney, of this city, a gentleman who it was well known was an expert in the business, a fact that the splendid track now completed fully bears testi- mony. Over half o million feet of lum- ber was used in the construction of the buildings, fences, etc., making over fifty car loads. The material and labor thus far has cost the asso- ciation upwards of $15,000. Ther is no finer track on the American conti- nent and none in which the location and soil is more favorable for a very fast course. It is as smooth as a dancing floor the entire length. There is no rise in the ground or change in its topography. Mr. Jacobs, of Lin- coln Nebraska, who is considered a very fine horse and track man, and who has handled a great many trotting horses, says the tiack can be made the fastest in this country. It is very accessible by all trains leading to this city. In lo- cating the amphitheatre great pains were taken to select that portion of the ground on the west side that would least expose those occupying seats to the heat of the sun. The huge structure is covered and when completed will accomodate 5,000 peo- ple. Three thousand teams can stand on either side of the amphitheatre and have a full view of the horses from the word *‘go” until the race is ended, a treat as as a gencral thing only af- forded those few who manage to crowd uwpon the judges stand. Ample provisions will be made for reporters at the judgo’s stand. Dr. McKune says that it 1s the intention of the management to make this the park of Council Bluffs. They will, as soon as their receipts will permit, commence the laying out of spacious walks, which will be adorned with beautiful shade trees of all descriptions, Foun- tains will be placed throughout the park, and they do not intend to cease improvements until every foot of the vast arena becomes *‘a thing of beauty and a joy forever” to the people of the Missouri valley. The meeting which takes place on the last two days of August and the 1st and 2d of September, this year, promises to be a grand affair, The daring rider of the mountains of Colorado, whose name is a housshold word for her feats’ of horsemanship, has challenged the Yridu of the north- west, the accomplished saddle lady of Nebraska, whose splendid riding wherever she has appeared has elicit- ed the plaudits of the people, to ride her at the coming meeting for a purse of 85,000, notwithstandingseveral asso- ciations have tried to secure this excit- ing race. The superiority of the Coun- cil Bluffs track was demonstrated after thorough investigation over all others. The management has also secured from 150 to 200 fine stepping horses, many amongst which havealready acquired a national reputation, SATURDAY'S RACES. SOME VERY BRISK STEFPING AT THE PARK. Notwithstanding the amount of money expended, the liberality of the managers of the Driving Park was shown in the mct of giving, free of charge, as fine an exhibition as is usually seen on ordinary tracks, on last Saturday afternoon. The day was just what was needed, cool and rvefreshing. On call of entries it wes found that some very fine horses were in attendance, C. B. Wilson, of Missouri Valley, entered Little Sioux, and Mr. Ingraham, of Cheyenue, American Garl and Clifton, The first race was between these three horses, mile heats, best two in three. After the announcement of positions, giving Clifton the pole, American Girl second, and Little Sioux third, the trie scored several times, and then came to the wire for the word in good shape. American Girl and Clifton broke quite badly the first quarter, uivnm Little Sioux some slight vantage, but after getting down to business they _ spurted ahead and came up with Little Sioux at the three quarter mile stake. Here they broke again and Little Sioux, darting ahead, turned the stake and came to the wire some distance ahead of her competitors in 2:52, with Clifton sec- ond, American Girl third, While these horsee were being groomed for the second heat it was announced that the track was open to all roadsters. Three horses only entered for this con test, Billy, Ranger and Fred Douglas Douglas got the pole, Ranger being second, Billy third. After con- siderable scoring they all went under the wire at the word go nearly in a line, but before they reached the one-quarter stake Billy darted ahead. As they were struggling hard to reach the three-quarter mile stake a gust of wind struck Fred Douglas and Ran- ger and blowed them s>me distance back to the one-half mile stake. They rallied, however, and reached the three-quarter mile stake, but Billy passed under the wire in three minutes and five seconds, At this time Lattle Sioux, American Girl and Clifton came on to the track for a second dash, and it was evident this would end the race so far as these horses were concerned. At the word o they went under the wire nearly in a line. Little Sioux came down the homestretch nearly one-fourth of a mile in lead of the others and won the heat and consequently the i 2:48, 'Then came a half mile ¢ tween a filly belonging to Cuffy, of Avoca, and one belonging to Jack White, of this city. Andrew Marcroff and Henry Wallace were the riders. They went to the half-mile stake and got a good start together and were pretty evenly matched. The Cuffy filly, however, won the race by one-half " a second. Next came a “new departure,” a one mile race free for all. The following horses were entered : Billy, Dick, Babe, Nellie and Old Tom. Dick got the pole, Nellie second, Old Tom third, Billy fourth, Babe fifth. The race was a very exciting one, as as John Baird and J. W, Peregoy had staked a purse of $200 on the result, Baird taking the field against Babe, who won the racelin 4:23. Thus ended the free-for-all exhibitiou, There were 3,000 people and 500 teams on the grounds. At the meet- ing on the last two days of August and first two of September the man- agement offer a special purse of $6,000. Tue BEE is authorized to an- nounce to the people of the United States that the affairs of the association are not under the control of sporting men, but will be conducted by the leading busi- ness men of Council Bluffs on strict business principles, and that every dollar offered in premiums will e paid promptly.

PROCEEDINGS OF A VERY IMPORTANT SESSION, Last Friday evening the city fathers took their places promptly, with coats off, looking as solemn as Moses on the 39th year out trom Egypt. The cause of all this solemnity was, no doubt, that all expenditures for the month of July were to be reperted, and when Tur Bee reporter listened awhile to bills presented, feeling a little blue. cers’ report of the receipts from saloons and fines was made there was a change their looks, for it was shown that dur- ing the month of July the city had re- ceived $2,261.15 from these resorts, which would indicate that the city officers are zealous in their efforts to see that the exchequer does not suffer, Mayor Vaughan presided with the ususual amount of dignity., The al- dermen present were H. Dawson, S. 8. Keller, Churchill, Cavin, Spetman, and Fonda. After the bills were re- ported and approved from John C. Lee’s Dbill for grading Avenue G, amounting to nearly $2,600, to Hofi- man’s oill for burying a dead horse amounting to $1, the council proceed- ed with the reading of petitions. The first on the list was a petition of J. 8. MecAllister for a saloon. It was grant- ed. Petitionof Porter and Palmer, A. A. Hazard and others to abate the shooting gallery on Main street, claim- ing that owing to the way it is con- ducted it has become a nuisance, was referred to the police committee. The petition of Thos. Johnson and others }ur a temporary sidewalk on the south side of Mill street was granted. Offi- cor Nelson who was injured while in the employ of the city, asked that he be allowed to keep a saloon on Fifth street without paying a license. He was allowed to do so. Petition of W. B. Clark and others to be allowed damages for the change of grade on Bluffs street, was referred to the committes on improvements, N. P. Dodge and others asked for a culvert on Fourth street, south side of Wil- low avenue. The matter was referred to a committee and the engineer with power to grant temporary aid, The mayor appeinted on the committe, Aldermen Dawson, Fonda and Spet- man. The petition of Nick Schurz, to be allowed $200 for damages to his property caused by the overflow of Indian creek, was referred. After several other minor petitions were read and disposed of, the all-absorb- ing question that interests this com- munity was reached. Mayor Vaughan handed the clerk a communication from the Great Ameriean construction company, saying that whereas the back bone of the company hadsoweak- ened that the whole concern was threatened with that dire complaint, “‘cerebro spinal meningitis,”’ and might not recover in time to finish their eontract; and whereas their contract with the city was rfectly legal and binding, they ad in consideration of the sum of $1 transferred, set over and assigned all their rights under the contract with the city to an Iowa company com- posed of George F. Wright and several citizens of New York, incorporated under the laws of the state of Towa: The assignment was read several times and was finally ratified by the city council in the tollowing manner: They resolved to accept the new company in lieu of the old but refused to release the old company from their obligations to the city under their con- tract, Geo, F. Wright, when asked if this was all right, remarked that there was no doubt of it, and it really looked all Wright. The uexi thing that attracted attention was the easy amounting to over $20,000, he did not blame them for When the offi- manner in which the street railway ordinance was sat down upon, Messrs, Holmes and Fonda tried to prevent it, but it was no,use, Aldermen Cavin and Dawson were too quick for them, and introduced a resolution to defer the whole thing until the parties in- terested could get together and draw an ordinance that would suit the rail- way company and everybody else. Cavin and Dawson thought this could be done. George F. Wright thought this should be done. The resolution carried, and Holmes slipped his docu- ment into his pocket. Some one sug- gested that John T. Baldwin and John W. Chapman be appointed a committas to draw up such an ordi- nance as would suit them. This was lost. At this juncture City Attorney Holmes reported that he had looked into the matter of the condemnation of John Clausen’s property, on Union avenue, and would recommend the city to pay the sum of $700. The mayor thought that if the city paid | 8700 the lot should be deeded in fee to the city. Mr. Holmes thought that the land that would be left after right of way had been taken by the | city would be worthless. The mayor thought if it was worth nothi the deeding of the same to the city by Clousen would be a mere form and it would be an excel- lent place to sink an artesia well. Geo. . Wright said it would answer for a lunch stand. Mayor Vaughan declared that the city should own the lot if they paid $700; that he would give 100 for the re- mainder of the ground. The ques- tion was called, and the aldermen voted in force to donate the remainder of the lot to Clausen after the dona- tion. Geo. Wright offered a petition asking the city to vacate the streets and alleys in Road's addition on the land which the mammoth packing house is to be erected. Nothing that the city council did was done more cheerfully, showing that every entor- prise that tends to help Council luffs will always receive consider- ation and encouragement at their hands. The council adjourned to Tuesday evening. SAD, INDEED. A YOUNG GIRL'S DOWNFALL AND SUBSE- QUENT CAREER. A very preity and propossessing {uung lady was followed to this city y her brother from Kansas. For some time he has been on the track of an unfortunate sister who was led astray by a young man named Mickel, in]Kansas, who prom- ised to marry her. He managed to secure her downfall. She left her home and broken-hearted came to Council Bluffs and here met one of those nice young chaps who is willing to do almost anything for a very pretly young girl, except to marry and make for her a happy home. But this is the last thing that enters their minds. When drugs won't work they ‘nduce them to go to a house of ill- fame. It was in one of these infernal cribs that the young brother from Kansas found his sister. The unfor- tunate one was induced to leave the place and take up her abode in a hotel, and when in a condition will go back to her home. MIGH-TONED AFFAIR, Miss Everett and Miss Street gave quite an elaborate party to their many friends at the commodious rooms of Hon. Horace Everett. It was very select and private, and an outsider could not even get a pecp. Prof. Olker frrnished the wmusic, for his shadow was seen on the window. Tt is dlso known that Mr. Louie fur- nished the refreshments. Mr. Charles, one of the old bachelors who gave the party there a short time with Miss Everett, led in a *‘German, which delighted all present. The outside doors were all barred and the windows painted. Everybody secmed to have a look on their faces that told of some secret within. TWO AT There was a daring attempt to bur- glarize 8. 8. Keller's and Simon Eiseman’s houses early Friday morn- ingat an hour most soundly. The thieves stole a ladder from J, W. Crossland’s prem- ises, and taking it to 8. 8. Keller's tried to effect an entrance. Finding that they could not do so without waking up the inmates, they toro up the walk and went over to the resi- dence of S. Eiseman, on Washington avenue. They placed the ladder up to an open window and ascended and were in the act of entering when the hired girl, who happened to be up, it being too uncomfortable to sleep, saw them and screamed for help. The men were frightened and ran down the ladder, and taking it with them made their escape. Mr. Danbaum, father of Mrs, Eiseman, occupied a room in the house and had ovey $800 in cash and notes that could have been readily found by the burglars had they succeeded in making an entrance. PTED BURGLARIES, FOREIGNERS AT THE BLUFFS, Some of the passengers of the steamer Vandalia, of the Hamburg line, arrived in Council Bluffs Satur- day morning and put up at Keil’s ho- tel, on Main street. very rough passage. They were six weeks coming, Three days after leay- ing Hamburg the steamer lost her scrow and drifted about for fifteen days and finally was towed toGlasgow by an Eng- lish steamer. After repairingdamages the Vandalia sailed for New York. There were thirteen hundred passen- gers on board. There are about a dozen passengers in this city, includ- ing some children. They seemed to be in good spirits and are well pleased with Uuunci\ Bluffs and say that the Euuh and energy that they have seen ere determines them to locate. THE BLUFFS IN BRIEF, The man who took the ice out of the barrel standing on the corner of Pearl street and First avenue, near the park, and carried 1t up a flight of stairs near by will please remember that the city puts the ice in the barrel for the rurpow of keeping the water cool. If he wants ice badly and is not able to pay for it, no doubt the city would furnish it for hum. At any rate they would preter doing so to having the ice taken from the barrels, A, L.
