The case in which Robert Long asks for a receiver to be appointed 10 take charge of Hotel Manawa was set for yes- terday, but for some reason was post- lmnnd until Tuesday, when it will be heard by Judge Carson, The Industrial American is the name of anew paper of the union labor um;(y olicy started at Harlan by A. F. & A. M. ‘ox. Its imtial number is very readable, and the amount of advertising patronage indicates that it is to have a good finan- cial foundation, A Harlan paper claims that Robert Long borrowed at Shelby the $600 which he invested with Frank Clark in the hotel business. If this is the case Long is in the uncomfortable position of being pinched for the amount between bills payable and bills receivable. . Howdrd Hamon, James Green and Willie Dugan, three Omaha boys, were in custody here yoesterday, They had run away from their homes and had no money with which to get back across the bridge, and could not swim.

Of its evil effects one writer says: ‘‘The poor wretches given up to absinthe drinking suffer from a pe- cunar train of nervous symptoms, the most prominent of which is epilepsy of a remarkably severe character. The last moments of the absinthe drinker are truly horrible. Absinthe, besides alco- hol, contains several ethereal oils, of which the most important is the oil of wormwood. It has been often observed that the use of this beverage results in disorders widely ditffering from those caused by alcohol alone, and the oil of wormwood has 'prndncad onima stetanic eonvulsions similar in form to the epilep- tic form of convulsions which affect ab- sinthe drinkers.” THE DOINGS IN THE BLUFFS. Preparing For an Interssting Seasion of Court On Monday. A RATHER SUSPICIOUS DUDE. A Happy Day For Children—A Gaso- line Blaze—~The Tin Color Lawn Party—Personals and Alle Around Items, Court on Monday. Next Monday Judge Carson is to hold court mainly to consider the saloon cases which have so long been in contest. There are some injunctions asked for, and some contempt proceedings. New evidence has been gained and there is no little curlosity to see the new faces on the witness stand, and hear these informers cross-examined, The decision of the court will be watched for eagerly, for in the contempt proceedings the penalty is heavy, consisting of $300 fine and six months imprisonment, and there seems no way for dodging the penalty, if the cases are made to stick. it PR Snatched On Suspician, The police have been watching for two or three days two colored men who were looked upon as suspicious fellows, They were prowling about at all hours of the night looking into buildings, banks and stores, and acting as if bent on a break, Ofticer Thomas, of the merchants’ police, and Officer Stevens, of the city force, fol- lowed them about Thursday might until satistied that it was best to take them in. When the arrest was attempted they made an effort to run.. One took in one direction, the other in the opposite. The ofticel red at them, but only suc- ceeded in capturing one. He is recoge nized as “Dude’” Henderson, who has had quite a career at Des Moines, and who 18 not altogether ranger he He was yesterday sentenced to thirty days in jail on the general charge of vag- rancy. Happy Children, Yesterday the little folks of the Home of the Friendless were given an enjoyable trip to Lake Manawa. Express and "bus men generously gave the little ones a free ride, and others contributed to their en- joyment, so that they had a free ride, a free bath, freo ice cream and a jolly time. The little ones were as merry as could be, and as they started off for their day's recreation they went singing through the streets. Most of the inmates of the home have few such days of joy, and the occasion was heartily appreciated by them. The children are said to be better cared for than when the investiga- tion of the institution showed up such a startling state of affairs. Thut investiga- tion has resulted 1n some changes for the better that are known. The policy of refusing to allow good families to adopt children from the home has been aban- doned. The appearance of the ckildren, at least, indicates that they are getting better food and more of it, and better care than at the time of the investigation. S e i Brief Blaze. Yesterday noon a gasoline stove blazed up in the home of C. W. Hunt, corner of Pierce and Grace streets. The stove had been leaking a hittle, and Mrs. Hunt had iust filled the gasoline tank. As she ighted the fire 1t blazed up fiercely. In attempting to put it out one of her hands was baaly burned. A fire alarm was turned in, but the blaze was over before the arrival of the department. The damage to the house was light. Lol iy Some Advice. One of the best ways to help build up Conneil Blufts is to give employment to workingmen, and then when the work is done pay their wages. Those who try to shield and bolster up enterprises at the expeuse of those who earn their bread by the sweat of the brow, are equally re- sponsible with those who refuse to pay those who have worked forthem. It is all easy enough to shout and to scold. One instance is suflicient. A laboring man lives in a house here owned by an Omahaman.. The agent of the house is an attorney here. The workingman is honest and industrious. He worked hard and faithfully, and calculated on the $28 due him, to pay the $14 rent, and have some money left with which to buy some necessaries for his family. Now that he has earned the money he cannot get it. The debt 18 not disputed, but the man who employed him says he cannot pay him. ‘The workingman has no money with which to go to Iaw, and there are such larger claims that his would be swallowed up. ‘The Omaha landlord demsnds his money, and urges his agent ia Council Blufts to force the col- lection. The poor fellow knows not what to do. He cannot afford to lose §28 and his landlord does not seem willing to wait until he can earn another $28. These men, with plenty of money in their pockets, strut about and tell the poor ellow to keep still und let it go—it is for the good of the city, and the enterprise must be encouraged. Those who are shouting so hard should go down in lheir pockets and pay off these workingmen, All enterprises giving honest emvloy- ment to labor should be encourage pro- vided the workingmen are paid for their work- Itis mo benefit to the working- man to be given employment if he is to be kept out of his pay. Work to build up Council Bluffs, but work to build it up on the sure foundation of prompt pay for honest work. — Pacific house is the nearest hotel to the mnjuritdv of real estate oflices in the city; $2 per day. £ Wecoding Out ‘‘Black Sheep." A captain in the regular army says in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "The army was full of black sheep just ufter the war, and for ten years there wsas a constant weeding out of the drunkards and finmhlum he army is & garden of paradise now comvared to its condition ten years preceding and ten years fol- lowing the war, and the officers who seem to make it a part of their duties to be drunk are very few. Prior to the war the army was located on the fronticr, and the men speat their lives in the forts fur awny from civihzation, To drink, to ~gamble and debauch were the results of these men's en- deavors to andura their lonely existonce. 1 knew more than one commanding offi- cer who debauched the character of every young man under him by mlkim& ita sort of matter of reproach to any oflicer in the fort not to play cards or carouse with him. Habits thus formed were con- tinued and impregnated the service. After the war the army was recruited by men who had only practical experience, having come from volunteer companies. To them came the tradition of anti-bel- lum days, the tradition that to be an offi- cer in the United States army one had to be a jolly dog. The thing became fear- ful and soon at headgaarters it was de- termined to stop the demoralization. What was known as the Benzine Court of Inquiry was formed. whose objects were to inquire into the antecedents and character of officers. No wan was called before it who had not been known as one of the offenders, and therefore to be summoned meant dismissal. Many resigned rather than appear, but there was little difference between that and dismiseal. Very few men in the army resign without” good cause; as Ben but- ler has expressed it, “Few die and none resign willingly.” Hence up to five years ago it was pretty well understood what resigning meant, Now the old ele- ment has been generally weeded out, and young officers can go into the army with- out having to become rakes. With the advance of civilization there is practic ally no frontier and none of the reasons for the old regime. R — PUNCH PHOTOGRAPHS. A System to Which Tourists Strongly Object. San Francisco Chronicle: When the tourist from the east gets as far on his way to California as the Missour: river, his regular round-trip excursion ticket is “‘taken up" and another ticket, reading from his original point of departure to this city lm‘lmmru, is given to him in exchange, This is & new method, adopted by all the overland lines except the Atchison, for the laudable purpose of preventing the scalping of tickets in this city, But while it serves this end, it is productive of a greater evil than that which itis intended to overcome. It subjects the traveler to great inconveni- ence, gives rise to disputes between him- self and the ticket agents, and often proves an expensive matter for the pas- senger, resulting in delays as well as an- noying, and what some travelers consider impertinent inquiries, and make the re- turn passage arything but plain sailing. Much complaint has been made in consequence of the introduction of this system. The trouble all arises from the fact that the ticket given at the Missouri river by the overland agents contains what is called a ‘‘punch: photograph” of the holder. This is snp{oacll to be a complete de- scription of the passenger. Along the margia of the ticket is printed in a straight column the following words, in small, black type: Male—Female, Medium—Stout. iddle-aged—Elderly. ht—Dark, R zht—Dark. BeArp—Mustache—Chin—Side—None, The passenger is_photographed on the ticket bearing his signature by punching out all the words that are not descriptive of him. If for a male,the word “‘female” is cut out by the punch; if he is slim, the words ‘‘medium” and ‘stout” are Inmch(-d; if lnus eyes are light, the word ‘dark’ is stricken out; and if he wears no beard, the word ‘‘none” is laft stand- ing, while ‘‘mustache,” ‘‘chin” and “'side’’ are punched. Now, it is readily seen how a train agent passing hur- riedly through a erowded cur is likely to make errors in describing his passengers on their tickets, and so far from being a *‘photograph’ of the holder, the mar- ginal sketch often becomes a rank caricature. Even when the punch mark faithfully portray the features and figure the female passenger cannot always pre- serve her good temper on looking at the icture drawn for her. A well developed ady of uncertain age is not likely to con- sider it a compliment to be labeled in cold type as “stout and elderly.”” That, however, is nothing to the treatment re- ived by a Boston girl on her way to California who was *photographed” as a ‘‘female” of medium build, middle- aged, dark eyes and hair, with a side- beard. This description, while contain- ing evidence of careless, free hand por- traiture is not, however, as bad as that of an olive complexioned young lady who was punched as an elderly ‘‘male,” slim and with hght eyes and hair and a chin beard. Tourist passengers on the overland trains often derive great amusement from a comgm‘isnn of notes, or, rather, of tickets, but their fun is turned to disgust whon they are told that they cannot secure return passage on the tickets when they have been wrongly portrayed by the train agent. They find none of the easy going ways of the Mis- souri river rairoaders in the rigid, ruld- hampered agents of this city. When, after *‘doing” the Golden state they de- sire to take passage homeward on the portion of their ticket still remaining wunused, and think- ing that the irregularities in their persoanal description will be over- looked as a little joke of the train agent, they go to the Central Pacific oftice to conform with the red-tape rule of sign- ing their names and having their tickets stamped, they are surprise(rto tind them- selves hauled up with a round turn, and put to the alternative of remaming in the city or buying another ticket to their destination, thus paying twice for their passage. lielore the ticket is stamped and thus made good for the return m{\z. the agent must satisfy himself that the description and signature thereon tally precisely with that of the original holder. If there is only a trifling discrepancy the passenger, by making an extra ten-block passenger round-trip tour to Fourth and Townsend strents, can sometimes make finml his cluim to being the original older of the ticket. In any event, there is delay and annoyance, for no fault of the passenger, but in order that the arbi- trary rules of the Southern Pacitic com- pany may be rigidly enforced. Instances of the injustice of the new system are not wanting, and could be pub- lished by the column. One of recent oc- currence was that of a young eastern lady who was rather slim when her Eunch photograph was taken, but a riet sojourn 1n Califorma brought her under the classification of ‘'stout.” Being classed as slim on her ticket sho could not, without much diflicultv, ob- tain return passage. The signature ex- perts squinted at her handwriting through the microscope, and made her stand off to be gazed at by the figure ex- perts. Although greatly” annoyed and, in fact, insulted by this treatment, the young lady bore the ordeal patiently and after an hour of dilly—d:ullyinq and sub- jecting the ticket and its holder to all sorts of tests, the agents finallly con- cluded to grant the application for re- turn passage, paid for two months be- forer. A queer case was that of a gentle- man and his wife whose descriptions had become transposed by the carelessness of the train agent and who had to dance attendance on the Fourth and Townsend street officials in order to have the mat- ter set right, thereby losing their train and having to remain over another day. Eastern visitors who are not used to this sort of experience do not know exactly what to make of it, and theF ask: “‘what kind of people are these California peo- ple, anyway, and where do they get their deas of the courtesy due to travellers on their lines?” e .—— A Great Singer. London Musical World : In one of the many attractive environs of London Mme. Jenny Lind Goldschmidt lives to- day, passing her old age in a most peace- (ufi happy manner. She isin her 66th year, but is still youthful in feeling and intensely interested in every musical event. Among the greatest of the ments witnessed by the ple of Vi was that accomplished by herself, and it must be a source of great happiness to her to recall her triumph in the Austrian cupital. To-day she passes quietly in and out of her “home, unnoticed except by those who know her worth as a friend and neighbor, and greet her with re- spectful deference. Forty years ago every civilized courtry in the world knew of her wonderful powers and was ready to do her homage. She could not pass from her hotel door without encounter- ing crowds, who would stand for hours to see her. Probably mo woman upon the stage ever held precisely her position, There may have been guite as much curi- osity to see other famous singers, and crowds have followed them, but the peo- ple of two worlds respected Jenny Lind, and the old feciing has not died out. She is still the great artist, and no one has dethronea her in the hearts and minds of those who heard her yours ago.
