Foster, died yesterday morn- ing at 4 o'clock. She was aged eight years, and was an unusually bright and interesting child. She had been seri- ously ill for two months past, and was in a critical condition for several days before death came to relieve her from the intense sufferings attending her ill- ness. The famuly and friends were greatly dreading for her the noisy cele- bration of yesterday, her condition being such that it did not seem possible tor her wearied brain and shattered nerves to endure the suffering which would be in- tensified by the racket and bustle of the Fourth.” This suffering was spared her. With the noisy opening of the day she passed quietly into a restful, peaceful home, the anniversary of freedom of the country being the beginning of an eter- nal freedom for her, for all suffering ana trouble.

Many of the business houses were decorated with bunting, flags, etc., as were a number of residences. In the evening many of the residences were nicely illuminated. Among those who had the finest decora- tions were the Council Bluffs earpet house, Moore & Kiplinger, and Rudio & Yenawine, the latter’s bui i questionably the best. e At the Pacific house you will save from 50e to $1 per day.

AGREAT CROWD IN ATTENDANCE Suspiclons Jobbery Caused the Horse Bets To Be Declared Off— An Engineer Killed— Pocket Picking. The Raccs, Ihere never was a more sucecessful opening day for any meeting than yes- terday. The crowd was '%e, both amphitheaters being filled. The of the races was C. M. Smith, of ville, one of the best in the land. a voice like a trumpet, and a face as good natured as a sunbeam, so that his announcements were enjoyabls d their clearness added much, for it is too often the case that the erowd is unable to hear what decisions are given, Mr. Swith is also vel prompt and square in his actions. The judges were Joseph Gar- neau, Jr., of Omaha, and C. Haldene, of this city. The first race was the 2:43 trot. The starters as placed were: Folly, by J. H. McShane, of Omaha; Lady Adella, by J. W. Voglesong, of Elyria, O.: Uncle Josh, bv J. . Martin, of Minneapolis; Atlas, Barney Losen, Kansas City; Willian Pierce Smith, of Minneapolis; Neta by Anderson and Meclntosh, 1 i (ki i Josie G., by P. H. Davis, of Milw co. An easy start was had and a hot race for this elass followed. On the first turn there was such a bunching that Lady Adella crowded into Atlus’ wheel. but the collision was not serious, and_the com- vlaint made dropped. Neta Pine won the heat in 2:20, Lady Adella sec- ond, Josie G. third, the others coming in the order named: Uncle Josh, William S. and At! ‘olly was distanced. The ! heat was not so hot a one nor so ‘I'he bunch was broken after the first turn, and the horses strung out with no change in relative positions until turning into the home stretch. They came down in threes, the first three lapping each other, and the places being hotly contested. Lady Ad\-hz\ won tha heat in 2:344, Josie G. second, Uncle Josh third, Neta Pine fourth, Atlas fifth, William 8. sixth. The third heat was a hot one, the race being really for second place between the two grays, Josie G. ana Uncle Josh. The Iatter was a little too speedy for Josie, however. although the mare kent her nose close to his a considerablc distance. The winner of the heat, Lady Adella, kept steadily moving and easily took the heat in 3:34}. Uncle Josh was set back to sixth for running, and the second piace given to Josie G. "Neta Pine took third, William L, fourth, Atlas fifth. ‘The fourth heat caused a change about. In the start of Atlas cast a shoe, but it seemed to make little with him, William S. won the heat and Neta Pine second. ‘The race was a pretty one between these two. Josie G. came in third, while Lad, Adella, to the surprise of many, droppec after running two heats. fifth and Uncle Josh sixth. \ ement caused by the fifth heat. 1t was ten seconds slower than the ovening one of the race, the time being 2:39%. To the surprise of all it was won by Neta Pine, Lady Adella sccond, Josie (. third, Uncle Josh fourth, and William 8. fifth. Atlas was drawn. The feeling that Lady Adella was not driven to win was_ so strong that ths judges called a new driver to take the reins. ‘The sixth heat was slow and tame. The time was 2:40, and the heat was won by William S.. Neta Pine second and Lady Adella third. The seventh was the deciding heat. It was tame. Willam 8. won easily, jog- ging in. The only race was between Lady Adella and Neta Pine for second. They came under the wire nose and nose. It was 7:30 o’clock when the race was completed. The time of the last heat was 2:443. William 8. was given the first money, Netaline and Lady Adella divided sccond and third money, Josie G. was given fourth. The judges announced that puols and bets would not be paid until farther notice. THE 2:20 TROTTING. The second race of the day was the 2:26 trot. Thestarters were placed as named: “Rose Standish,”” R. E. Lee, Topeka, Kan., taking the pole; “Llenvyood Chief,” R. T. Kneebs, Sioux_City; W hite Stockings,” Bob Stewart, Kansas City; “Bob M,” Murphy Bros,, lowa City. W hite Stocking won, Elmwood Chief second, Bob M third, Rose Standish dis- tancod, Time—2:20}, 2:274, 2:23%. The judges in announcing first money for White Stocking, and second for Elm- wood Chief, and third to Bob M., stated that they believed there was ‘‘funny” business, and they would investigate further before deciding as to bets and pools. In the meantime no bets or pools on the raceshould be paid, but held, until a decision was rendered, As the ools and bets were in the main on each eat as a separate race, this announce- ment caused no httle questionings, but the judges decided that each heat had been decided and announced; and bets or pools sold on heats, instead of on the race, were already settled by the decis- ions of heats. TRE 2:25 PACING was the third event of the day. The starters named_as they drew their places, were: Nellie B, R. E. L\Irfi, Salina, Kan.; Mambrins Prince, A, Heekenber- (cr, West Liberty, Iowa; Bessie Moore, icorge W. Farrier, Minneapolis; Ex- press, Silas Walters, Hiawatha, Kan.; Monkey Rolle, J. U. Farrow, Paris, IlL.; Little [da, J. W, Voglesong, Elyria, O.; Bar Dramond, Ahe Devine, Eau Claire, Wis. Lattle 1da won two straight heats in 2:22} and 2:214, The race was not finisned ou account of darkness. THE POOLS OFF. The judges made the announcement that after due dehberation they con- cluded that jthere was something ‘“‘queer’” about the 2:48 trot and 2:26 trot, and that all pools and bets should be de- clared off. They were strongly of the belief that a job had been put up, and that Adella was pulled, They proposed to investigate, and to punmish those who were found to be concerncd in the scheme, Mr. Smith said to err was hu- man, but they slulerru\l to err, if err they must, on the side of justice. DAY FIRE WORKS, As one of the side attractlons of the day the day fire works were not among the least. They were novel to most of the sight-seers, and werg watched with interest. T hef were sent up from & mortar with much force, being carried to & great hei.fi)n, ex: :ludinf and producing various figures. ‘Jun, or instance, was a collossul god- dess or Liberty., Others were forms of apimals, THE MILITARY, The competitive drill of the three com- panies of the Fifth mfilmeux, lowa state guards, was an interesting feature of the aftetnoon at the driving park. The regi- mental band not only made music, but performed some very pleasing maneu- vres. ‘T'he three companies drilled well. The Shenandoah company took first rizo of $100, tho Couneil Bluffs sccond, ), and the Glenwood company third $25. The judges were Judge Perkins, of Boone, Cyrus Reed and C. W, Teompson. TO-DAY'S KACES. The 2:26 pabing race will be finished to-day. The 2:20 trotting aud 2:35 pac- ng, with & chariot race, complete to- day's Programme =S G The Patriotic Parade. The Fourth was celebrated in Council Bluffs with more enthusiasm than on any such anniversary for years past. At an early hour the day opcned with all the noise that powder and drums could make, and soon after an early breakfast hour the streets assumed the liveliness of a metropolis. The arriving trains brought hundreds into the eity, and teams came rolling in from all directions, until the streets were full of people. The chief teatures of the forenoon were the parade of the Knights of Labo d military, with the exercises in }mrk. The parade was a ftine one. Fifth regiment bund came first, twenty picces, giving excelient marches. Thren compunies of the Fifth regiment TIowa State guards came — next, They were company A, of this city, ympany C, of Glenwcod, and company , of Shenandoah., They presented a fine appearance, marching well, and hav- ing a very soldierly bearing. The Grand Army came next, the old goldiers being out in large numbers, The German- American band followed, giving some of its sweetest music. The Knights of La- bor, the typograpnical union, and other organizations came marching along and then came the officers of the day and the city oflicials in TN In" the first carriage was Mayor Groneweg, Colonel Sapp, president of the day; Hon. Jesse Harper, of lllinois, the orator of the day, and City Auditor 1. In the next carriage were . ason, of the Knights of Labor, Miss Nellie Hatcher, who was the reader of the day, and her father, Captain Hatcher. Other carriages contained the aldermen, city clerk and other oflicial: The patrol wagon filled with police- men, presented a showing of the strong arm of the city. Chief Templeton, of the fire department, followed in a pony rig so smull that had it not been for the dignified bearing of the worthy official, one would be strongly reminded of the clown's conveyance in tne cireus parade, The hose ts, hook and ladder and other apparatus of the department, were also in the parade, The fire d in uniforn t the appal none of the ¢ tions which from time Gl immemoriul have formed an essential in Fourth of July parades. e parado also lacked the ragamuflin dfplay which chal rized the old fashioned shows of this kind, The procession was finished off’ with citizens in carriages. e mar- shals of the day were Vie Keller, M. F. Rohrer, Captain O'Neill, E. J, Abbott, J. P. Snow and Ed. Mott, The exercises in Bayliss park proved to be very much more interesting than is usual on sich occasions. The Fifth regi- ment band occupied the music stand in the center of the park, and gave -some excellent numbers. One of the best was “Recollections of the War.” This is a the potpouri, which brings a great deal of descriptive music, representing the scence of the war, and many familiar airs were interwoven, of the songs which were 50 often sung by the boys in blue. The platform erected for the speakers was draped in the national colors and adorned with flags. Col. Sapp presided with usual grace and good judgment, Miss Hatcher read clearly the declara tion of independence. It” was a rather formidable declaration for agraceful ard winning_young lady to make appear very warlike, or bold, but she read it as well as any feminine voice could utter such strong sentiments. The orator of the day, Colonel Jesse Harper, proved a happy surprise. He got out of the old ruts, so common to the spreaders of the eagle on these occasions, and gave a sharp, sprightly, popular ad: dress, to which a_ large audience listened attentively from beginning to finish. The theme of his address was a warning of the nation against the centralization of wealth, He pictured the nations of the eurth as individuals, having their birth- duys, their growth of years, their devel- opment, their death, He urged the im- portance of avoiding those practices which have caused death to other nations, and following the history from Egypt down he showed that as the wealth was allowed to get into the hands of the few, 80 decn{ began in national life, and ruin soon followed. When Egypt went down the whole land wus owned by three per cent of the people, while the rest were without homes of their own. Persia, Grecce, Rome, drifted one after another into the same error. When in the life of every one of these naitons, there came a period when a small per cent of the peo- ple owned all the land, the nation went down. He then gave the figures in re- gard to this country, showing that for the first sixty-five years of its history, five-eighths of the peovle were land own- ers, and how during the past twenty years there had been @ rapid drifting towards centralization of wealth, the per cent of home owners decreasing at & rightful rate. This led him to the labor and capital question, and he presented some startling facts and figures concern- ing this. is address throughout, despite the seriousness and solemnity of the warning words he uttered, was brightened by flashes of wit, bright beams of humor and teling points. Ladies, even, who seemed hardly able physically to endure such a strain, stood for over an hour, eagerly listening to the gifted speaker, nnfi seemingly unoonscious of the passing time. His quaint way of presenting u thought, and his informal yet earnest expressions and hie peculiar mannerisms added much to the enjoyability of the address, For once the rule of having a gaudily decked oration of Fourth of July Dombast has had an excepti While there was much patriotic enthus asm in the oration, slill there was much more than this, and much indeed which those who heard can carry with them long after the noise of the powder is for- gottol BEST LIGHT LIVERY I TEIE CITY. ‘The finest of driving horses always on hand and for sale by MASE WISE.
