The city officials were noticeable by their absence at tho Irish picnic yester- day, although they were specially in- vited, yet there is no local election near at hand. A goodly number of the membera of the G. A. R. left yesterday morning for Glenwood to celebrate the day there, taking with them martial music, and going off as if bent on having a glorious day. J. J. Anwerda & COo.’s show windows attracted much atvention yesterday on account of the patriotic and tasty decor- ations, flags and bunting being arranged veory handsomely, the border being of flags and the ceuter a large national shield. Goorge Edgar, who was acting as spe- cial policeman at the circus grounds yes- terday, caught two men picking pockets. One was a negro, who was wanted on other charges, the other a white man. They were lodged in jail and will have a hearing to-day. The residence of A.

For some time there has been pending in the courts the case of Plattner vs. Plattner, which has attracted much at- tention, and excited much comment. Judge Lyman, in the May term of the Fremont county court, had the case before him, but reserved his decision until a few days ago. The Shenandoah Reporter gives the following history of the case and summary of the deciston. The suit was brought by Mrs, Ella |l Plattcer against her husband Henry Plattnerr for alimony and allowance for the support of her three children from her husband's estate of 172 acres, sit- uated about two miles south of Manti, Fremont county, She alleged-as a cause of action, brutal and inhuman treat- ment, charging that he led her a life of terror, causing her at the peril of her life to sign away her dower in the estate which he fraudulently aasigned for the purpose of disinheriting her and her children, after which he threw her helpelcss and pennilers upon the cold charity of the world with three children to take care of and provide for. That he then betook f to Ohio, where by false statements he obtained, of a court of that state, a divorce from ber. That at Blufiton, Ohio, he mar- rled one Ella Haunen: with whom he is now living in ubter disregard of his lawful relations and obligations to her and her children, Henry Plattoer, the defendant, entered # genoral denial to the allegations of the :.hrinfifl. charging her with infidelity to martials vows, cruelty, hearthiess- ness on, The case came on to be heard in equity as the May term of the Fremout county cir- cuit court, before his honor Judge Lyman, After receiving testimouy and hearing the arguments of council, pro and con, his honor reserved his decision in the case. On Saturday last hi after mature deliberation, rene decree in favor of the piaintiff, Mrs. Plattoer, allowing her $2,600, asalimony, out of the estate, beside $72 a year for each one of her three children until they reach their majority, setting aside the sale and assignment of the estate as fraudulent, aud making the judgment @ first lien on the estate for the benefit of Mrs, Plattner and her children. The judgment is hailed with delight the former neighbors of the Plattners, who are acquainted with all of the faote in the case, and who look upon Mrs wronged woman, . Shenandoab, and J. L.

Bat Notas Provied by the Protiitory Law, Many Saloons ning as Usual, The prohibitory law, with all its heavy penalties, went into effect with the open- ing ot the Fourth of July, and much cu- riosity and no little anxiety has been felt and exprossed as to what would be the result here. It has been conceded that Oouncil Bluffs, situated #0 near Omaha, was in a very unfavorable location for the euforcement of the prohibitory law, and hence not much stringency was expected here. Still, many thought that possibly the saloons might close to-night, for a short time, at least, until it was sen what was going to be done by the antisaloonists, but as one of the saloon men remarked yosterday: *‘No, that wouldn’t do, for if we closod up once they would never let us open again.” Others thought that everybody would go over to Omnha, and the city would bedeserted. On the day, and especially the night before, there was a large amount of drinking, and on every side theee was heard, ‘“‘Come, let's tako & drink; it's your last chance, you know.” It didn’t prove the last chance by any means. With the dawning of the day most of the saloons opened as usual. The beer wagons went the rounds, delivering tho kegs as if it was any other Fourth of July. The customer who, leaning over the bar, called for whisky, beer or wine, was told they didn't have but the smile and the wink ® to explain that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, and the ocustomer calling for “Dutch buttermilk” gots his foaming Iager, or calling for ““peppermint drops” gets something stronger. In other plac- es everything went as called, and there was no mouthing or winking, but cut and out defiance of the law. One thing was evident, There was as much, or more drinking than on any pre- vious Fourth of July. Drunken men could be seen on every corner, and many breaths were strong. There was much bitter talk yesterday about informants. It has been conjec- tured that the law provides for half the fines to go to the informant, would cause many to act in that capacity, and much hard feeling has been worked up against such, so that threats were quite open and above board yes- terday, to the offect that any one’ in- forming or lhrting Yrmecutiom would be most severely dealt with, A little incident which occurred yes- terday, was passed along from one to another, calling forth remarks which indicated that conuibly there might be even scenes of blood growing out of the affair, unless cooler judgment and wiser counsels prevnilexi’. Henry De Long, one of the old and well-known citizens, and who is a staunch temperance man, was yesterday making the rounds of the saloons, noticing who were and what they were drinking. In one place he was put out unceremoniously and had he been a hot headed man there would have been seri- ous trouble probably right then andthere, The prohibitionists on the other hand propose to have the law obeyed, and ex- gnu themselues as strongly determined. he following will be posted on the streets to-day: $10 REWARD, A reward of $10 will be paid for such evidence as will lead to the conviction of any saloon keeper in Council Bluffs for violation of the prohibitory law.

HAPPY HIBERNIANS. They Celebrate the Day With Music, Oratory and Feasting. Picnic Particulars, The celebration of the day by the Ancient Order of Hiberians proved quite an enjoyable success. A goodly delega- tion from Omaha came over with the Hiberian band of fifteen pieces, They were mot at the depot by a reception place in the procession, which then proceeded to a where a large number of citizens, young with wives, sweethearts, and all were gathered: A large platform had been erected a floor for dancing. Tables, provided with temperance drinks were placed in shady places and liberally pat- ronized, A shooting range, swings and games of all sorts were provided for, The band of tke Omaha society of the Ancient Order of Hibernians discoursed sweet music, ‘I'hey won much praise, lu.n:uthq certainly did play most excel- ly. The formal prufimnms opened with music by them, followed by the reading of the declaration of independence by M. J. Griflin, Instead of being au unin teresting mumbling, as is too often the case on such occasions, the old and impor- tant document, so necessary to the day, was road by him with such a full, ciear voice and 80 much expressson that it com manded the attention of all and was care- fully listened to.

D. A. BENEDICT, Yesterday John Swinger, whose case was given in yesterdav’s Bek, called at the oftice of the city jail to get the ef- feots taken from him when arrested. The arrest was made six weeks ago, it being a case of assault, and after much interesting litigation, the case was dis- missed. Thursday, at the time of his arrest by officer Dunn, he had $1.66, which was taken from him, together with a pocket-knife and button-hook, and these articles credited on the books, in Marshal Guanella’s hand-writing. From the city jail, Swinger was taken to the ocounty jail. Davy Mottaz, who was then jailer, and deputy marshal Guanella, es- corting him there. After his discharge, applying for his change and other ar- les, they could not be found. Mottaz claimed that all he had taken from such persons he had turned over to the Gua- nellas. The Guanellas ¢'aimed they had not received Swinger's money. It was suggested that perhaps it had been taken No. 387 Broadway . Council Bluffs, . M. CONINEIL.X UNIERTAKER AND EMBALMER !
