AYOR'S PROCLAMATION, To the Ci s of Council Bluffs: ‘Whereas, Congress in its wisdom designated May 30 a a general national Decoration day, and with a patriotic motive the legislature of Towa did on March 12th 1880, establish said Decoration day as a legal holiday, therefore I, W. R. Vaughan, mayor of Council Bluffs, hereby request and rocommend our ci i general to participate in the solomn obsei and ceremonies of decorating the grave our departed heroos on to-day, May 30th, 1884; may the swoetest and most beautiful flowers be thickly and plentifully strewn on the patriotic resting places of those who gave their lives that the nation might live; and may their acts of true devotion be perpetually engraved on our memory.

Itisa real warm day that the fraternity over there do not call for suthin’ bracing, The south side land league of Creston have challenged the north side land league to a game of foot ball to be played July 4, fifteen men on a side.

'Banks, burglar, escapod from the Anamosa penitentiary last Fri- day by concealing himself in the bottom of a cart in which manure was piled, and he was hauled off. A roward of §50 is offered for his capture. A Floyd colmlf' farmer informs the editor of the Intelligencer that he never plants corn until the plum trees are in blossom, and that the plan has not failed him for sixteen years. Itis a matter of history, however, that the plum trecs oceasionally got loft. On Friday the trial of Barney McFar- land, of Burlington, and Michael Win- tors, of Mt. Plensant, ou tho chargo of murdering a policeman at Cedar Rapids, was concluded at Anamosa and rosulted in the disagreement of the jury, two of which favored acquittal and the remain- dor could not agree upon the degree of murder. Des Moines suid the estate of John Tylor and recovered §16,000 in back tax- o8, and the city attorney of Davenport has been instructed to sue the estate of the late Lorenzo Schricker, a lumber merchant whose estate is worth several hundred heousand dollars, one-half of which is in money, on which he did not while alive pay his just proportion of taxes.

Shaffer, secretacy of the Iowa State PAgricultural society, writes the Keokuk Gate City, as follows: ‘‘We never had a finer prospect for all kinds of crops. Corn planting, should this weather continue, this week will see it all planted. In many fields it is up and growing finely. Home-grown seed ¢en- erally planted. Grand prospects for a bountiful supply of fruit. Business very dull, giving evidence that the farmers are not letting the present golden opportun- ities of practical and benehicial work pass away unheeded. More attenticn given to amber corn growing. Iowa will yet come to the front in this industry. Stock generally healthy and in fine condition.” Charles Breckenridge, underindictment in Audubon county for forgery, was ar- rested in Sioux City Tuesday. Brecken- ridge is of well-to-do family, and resides near Audubon. He left home last Octo- ber, nominally to buy cattle in Texas. Shortly after he was gone it was discov- ered that he had floated $7,000 worth of forged paper, the forged names being those of his brother-in-law and another cattle man. The sufferers by these for- geries were the Audubon bank, Citizen's bank of Audubon, and a bank at Carroll. ——— The Tact of Arkansas Women, Arkansaw Traveller, “Who is that horrid whisky bloat?” asked a lady of an acquaintance, while they stood viewing tho guests at o fash- ionable reception. *‘Which one *‘That one with the red moustacheand awful nose, Don't you sec?” “‘He is my husband.” “Oh,” laughed the lady, ‘I see that you are not sensitive,” although she saw vengeance the eyes of the insulted lady. **Several nights ago a friend made asimilar remark about my husband, and I became very angry.

How He Captured the Citadel of Af-| fection and Won a Wite A go from His Lite History. Now York Journal, Dr. John P, Nowman had to fight for his_bride—not literally, but mentally, and with the poworful weapons of win- ning ways. Ho was a Now York boy not long outof Wesleyan University when he firat saw Miss Angeling Eneign, 8 young lady of Saratoga, possossing braina and beauty. She was the precoptress of a largn seminary at Fort Plain, N, Y., at that time. Mr Nowman's heart wont around soveral hundred revolutions a second when he first beheld her, but it was not & caso of love at first sight. He was a budding Mothodist pastor, she a model for a score of young ladies, Neither could atford such L'uflhlh‘u. Two other suitors sought the heart of the boautiful Ensign, and it may have THE CHEAPEST PLACE IN OMAHA TO BUY ol Tol)=ReE Iis awT DEWEY & STONE'S, One of the Best and largest Stocks in the United States to select from. NO STAIRS TO CLIMB, ELEGANT PASSENGER ELEVATOR, boen the fact that spurred on the natural- ly pugnacious Newman. The young minister had the physical advaniage over his rivals, One’of them was too «vi‘fl, the other too young., The school girls giy- gled as thoy saw the threo familiar faces day after day and evening after evening as thoy besieged the fortress of learning in an endeavor to capture the lady gen- oralissimo. The sympathies of the school were about equally divided botween the youngest of tho trio and Mr. Nowman. They mado the old gentleman’s life very weary for him, but ho straightened his wig and adjusted his teeth and followed his card to the reception room with an unterrified air, Ho generally tound the sofa ocoupied by Mr., Newman or the young man, and if scowls would kill, the troublo in tho Madison Avenuo Congrega. tional church would never have been. But the old gentleman had monuoy in his favor. The young man had small foet and centre-parting har, besides a most dolightful lisp, Mr. Nowman's accom- plishments outweighed those of his rival in a great degree. When the three suit- ors sat out each other with the fair An: golina, as often happened, two of the party wero crushed. Tho old gentleman toyed with the family album and the young_gertloman felt of his upper lip. Mr. Newman and the precoptress ex- changed ideas which were Greek to the audience of two. Things could not thus go on forever. The elderly suitor grow more and more tired of the existing state of affairs, and the younger man, who wanted to marry partly for the sake of a home, felt his eyes fill as his scanty resources dribbled away. Mr. Newman felt his calling sure others inwardly and smiled as the stormed. # Miss Ensign, with her good heart, treated the trio with every consideration, but it was evident sho had a leaning to- But the school \ ward the young parson. demanded some littlo attention, and she mildly asked each suitor to preserve an armistice till after commencement day, then not far off. So evident was the fight of the trio that the villagers watched the love conflict with great interest. Commencement day came and the peo- plo around flocked into tcwn. The grad- uates had been up all the night before putting on the finishing touches to their robes of purity. Still they looked fresh. The recitation hall was crowded, as wero the anti-rooms. Miss Ensign, the fairest of all the fair throng, led her pupils through all the mazes of seminary knowledge. The piano duet was’a mar- vel, the ‘Maiden’s Prayer” brought tears to scared eyes, and to this day the citizens speak with admiration of the valedictory. One of the committes, an unfortunate aspirant for Miss Ensign's hand, andjone who had married that lady's dearest enemy out of pure pique, arose to make the usual application of flattery. Ad- dressing the trustees ot the seminary, the gentloman said: *‘You must lock out for your Ensign and not let her be carried off by an old man,a young man ora New- man.” In the Jaugh that went up the old gentlemen hid behind a bonnet, the young gentloman shrunk into his collar, but Mr. Newman beamed without a wrinkle. Miss Ensign, who had disap- peared when sho heard what was coming, watched her admirers through the crack of adoor. Mr. Newman's heroic bearing captivated her and rivited the bolt of love. The climax came at the close of the exorcises, The fortunate suitor slipped out of the side door with the prize, pro- posed on the way up the street, and was accopted. The two unfortunato men waited at the main entrance, subjected to cruel hints and insinuating, smothered laughter until the seminary was cleared, Still they waited for their heart's desire, The sun went down and the moon came out. The old gentleman, hurt to the quick, muttered eomething very uncom- plimentary to the young gentleman on the other side of the street. The young man was in no mood for such language, and he moved over to his rival and de- manded an explanation. He got it im- mediately. The Marquis of Queensbury rules were utterly ignored in the discus- sion that ensued, Having thus honorably won his bride the Rev. Mr. Newman took her to Alba- n{, where he was given his first charge. Hugh Hastings admired the new parson and styled him ““The Risiug Orator,” The young couple next came to New York, );relidiug over the Bedford Street Church. 'hey then went to Europe and Mr, New- man visited the Holy Land, of which trip he often speaks with pleasure, Return- ing to New York, Rochester University gave him the title of D.D, Then he went South to reconstruct the Methodist Church in Louisiana, Mississippi and Tex- a8, After performing great work he was elected Chaplain of the United [States Senate, and twice re-elected, His wife has shared his hard work with him, and a more devoted couple it would be hard to find, They are childless, Dr, Newman's charge of the Metropoli- tan church in Washington, where Grant, Colfax, and Chief Justice Chase worship- ped; his ministry of the Central Methodist church of this city, where Gieneral Grant followed him, and the trouble caused by his taking pastoral charge of the Madison Avenue Cungrugltiunur church, are all recent hiuwl?'. But one point in Dr, Newman's life is not generally known, During Grant’s administration he was sent abroad, partly on a confidential mis- sion for the government. During the trip Dr, Newman wrote elaborate reports on the increase of our trade with Japan, China, India and other countries, His entire travelling expenses for a year and a half amounted to only $2,300. His pay was small—something like 83 a day. Mrs. Newman accompanied him, but she was not his secretary and did not receive oue dollar of the expenses. Whenever the reverend ambassador got the advan- tage of half fare he gave n?n advantage to the government.
