Watchman Lamb, of Fairmount park, revorts that fifteen of the new evergreens recently lanted 1 that park, were stolen Sunday. Others were pulled up, and evidently not suiting the despoilers, they were hurriedly chucked back into the ground, and stamped into place, thus being ruined. It seems impossiole to watch all parts of the k, but if by more vigilance some of these despoilers “could benabbed, and brought into court, it would do more to stop such pranks than ImY quantity of newspaper scold- ings and warnings.

As it isa national gath- ering, and one of great importance, there will be some very strong men in attendance, and it is expected that some of the best orators be assigned as supplies for the Council Bluffs church on these two Sundays. Great preparations are being made for the services on Ascension day, in which the Knights Templar are to join. The knights from Omaha, Harlan and otaer places are expected to be present mn goodly numbers. St, Paul's church is to be nicely decorated, and the services there Thursday morning at 11 o'clock will be interesting. The rector, Rev. Mr. Mackey, is to deliver an address.

J. Potter, the rew manager of the Union Pacific, ac- companied by other prominent officials of that railway, including S. R. Calla- way, the second vice president, G. M. Cumming, of Omahuy, assistant general manager, and Superintendent Dickinson, of Denver, and W. H. Burns, the general agent here of the Union Pacific. These gentlemen took a ride about the city in company with N. P. Dodge, paying special attention to the points of railway interest. Mr, Potter desired to take such observations as would familiarize him with the situation of the company’s prop- erty here and what was most needed. A drive was taken along Tenth avenue over the proposed new track and a look taken over the proposed site for the new freight depot. The oflicials inspected the trans- fer and grounds, and got full field notes of the situation. The carnages stopped for some time at Mayor Groneweg’s office, the officials desiring to pay their respects to him, but he was out, and after waiting some time the party drove on. The many rumors as to what the Union Pacific ex- peets to do here caused the visit of these gentlemen to be discussed with varied conjecture. ‘There seems no doubts but that the track will be laid nlun% Tenth avenae, and the new freight house erected at once, Itisalso settled that the Union Pacitic will but a cable line of cars over the new bridge, and the cars will run up Ninth avenue. he new round house and other improvements at the transfer are also settled facts, and scems not un- likely that numerous other changes will ] be made helpful to Council Bluff: e Drs.

There are three distinct classes. The “old-timers” who have made a success in life, and there are large numbers of these, liberal- hearted men, who are pillars of strength in the territories. Butitisin the other two classesin which you find the fund of anecdote and interesting characteristics which make the *‘old-timer"the pilgrim’s hero, Itisthose who have made and lost the fortunes which were so easily got in the “‘palmy days'’ and those who have never made any greal stake, but al- ways “'just missed it.’ ‘Ihe first of these last two classes are men who suffered all the hardships of the trip from Omaha to California, and in the '60’s went to Idaho and Montana, undergoing almost marvelous experi- ences, escapes trom the Indians, from starvation and from cold; which put into plain words in this day of palace coaches across the continent raise suspicions that the imugination of the narrator is get- ting the best of him. But the old saying that “‘truth is stranger than fiction.” was never truer than in this case. Most of them lost their fortunes by reckléssness, (lunkinfir what was made so easily could be made again. The most of se men, therefore, possess those vhich redeem them from the verty of their present condition, e their trace, and they will to-day divide their last meal with the stranger thut comes to the cabin door, and feel insulted if payment is offered. But how bitter must his feelings be when he finds the country settling up with large numbers of people from the ‘‘states’’ to whom he is but a tramp, and bie finds himself slowly wending his way being the honored gnest at the honored board of some mote fortunate partne: be pointed out as an object of suspi and a fit subject for the county com- mi ' care. We who know him treat him all the more kindly, and to us he unburdens his soul. 1n the third class are found the witty story-tellers, the men who spin yarns so taking to the youthful ear. There are many r rny men, who, through some fs make-up, r been anything but rovers. And, having a vast fund of gen- geral information and actual experiences to draw upon, and with a vivid imagina- tion, can weave fact ana ey into stories that will hold the audiences of open-mouted “tenderfeet’’ spelibonund. But they are going, and very soon a genuine “oldtimer’ will be a thing of the past. They have filled a noble place in the history of the United States, and the present generation owes much to the few who risked all that the many could fol low.
