The thermometer ranged from 102° to 107°, Elmer Wrifht and William Abbott were last night arrested on their arrival B\ this city by Ofticers Unthank and er upon a telegram from the railroad officlals. Captain Messemer denies the statement published in last evening's World to the effect that he recommended H. C. Carbee to the Fifth regiment band, there being no foundation in the least for such a statement, The Northwestern band is still staying at Lake Manawa. Parties who desire to indulge in a ho[i can be accommodated any evening. The band will light the parlors of the hotel and furnish the music, The Fifth regiment band will be at the Milwaukee depot this morning at 8:50 o’clock to receive their late drum major, H. C. Carbee, who will arrive in charge of Chief of Police Mullen, Thn_n will ;nfiorl. the brave major up to the city nil. The county auditor has received notice from the state board of equalization that the asscssment of this county remains the same as made by the county assess- ors and is unchanged. This, therefore, will relieve the county of any further trouble in making changes. A warrant was issued yesterday after- noon for the arrest of Captain Swobe, conductor of the ferry train. The charge made is that he assaulted a boy, John Callahan, who drives for J. Y. Fuller. 1t is clnimed that the assault was unpro- voked, the only excuse being that the bo did not move his team just in the spot di- rected by the conductor. ‘I'here has bean some hunting up of the record of Dell Perkins, who had a leg cut off by a Northwestern train, and who raised 8o much trouble about the manner in which he was cared for here. Lettens form officials in Virginia, his ola home, state that an indictment was found against lnm there for shooting at some man, but the authorities did not want him back. All they wanted was for him to keep away. One amusing incident occurred at a marringe at the Creston house parlors recently. When the justice asked the happy man the legal question as to whether he had been married before, he admitted that this was his second mar- rai The bride spunked up and up- braided him for not having told her so. A moment later the same question was asked the woman, and she was obliged to admit that she too had been through the same ccremony once in her life. It WAS a mutual surprise party, ont they concluded to call it even and make the best of it. —_— Company A.

Bob Horris, of Missouri Valley, was here yesterday. Fred Ballmayer, of Keg Creek, was at the Creston yesterday. Mrs. Dr. Hanchett’s condition was more favorable yesterday. Fremont Benjamin and wife, of Avoca, were at the Pacific yesterday. Mrs. L. Simgions and_ daughter have returned from a visit to Minnesota. « 0. Quentin, of St. Joe, 18 in the city, wnndmx a few days with his friend Ben eil, Mrs. Prof. McDermid returned last evening from Lincoln, where she has been visiting her mother. George Dutton, of Janesyille, Wis,, is in the city the guest of H. W. Tilton. He is thinking of luull(nfi here, or at some other western point, if business opvor- tunities present themselves favorably. A hap‘ry party from Glenwood came overland yesterday morning, the drive rroflnz an enjoyable one, as it was aken in the early morning. The party counsisted of George D. Wilson, proprie- tor of the New Glenwood hotel, accom- anied by his wife and their Chicago riends, William J. Mix, Mrs. Stevens and Miss Grace Marshal. They made headquarters at the Pacitic.

The much talked of crossing question is finally settled, and it is to be hoped that there will be no delay in completing the crossings and the starting up of the Manawa railway line. J. K. Gravesarrived in this city yester- day worning and met, by appointment, the railway officials, and the questions Involved in the crossing difliculties were settled, Last evening Mr. Graves stated that the road would be in operation. as 8oon as possible. He said: “The cross- ings and curves will arrive now just as fast as they can be made to. The right angles are in stock, but the others will have to be made. The details were ar- ranged a week ago, but only settled this momm‘s. We will cross the Rock Island and St P; roads at Seventh street, while the ‘Q" and Wabash will be crossed st Ninth street. The delay wns & ‘zrenvt disappointment to me. I, at first, didn't anticipate the least trouble.” “‘How lonf before you expect the crossings will be completed?” was asked. l.;ld wouldn't want to guess,” he re- led. P At present there is a gang of men at work completing the Manawa park ter- minus and also a full force 1s employed pushing the depot to completion, The up-town terminus is ocompleted and ready for business. Until the crossings are in, it is improb- able that the motors will run, ———— At the Pacific house you will save from fl?o v.g #1 per day.

Downfall of the Dandy Dude Drum Major, FAIR CITIZEN, THE JERSEY LILY. ‘Squire Burke on the Nuisance Law ~A Heavy Weighted Drunk— The Bridge Company — Personal Pick-Ups. They Have Beheld Langtry. Mrs. Langtry has come and gone. Council Bluffs curiosity was on tip toe, for this was the tirst opportunity given here of seeing this woman of familiar name. During her stay she occupied her own boudoir car, the *‘Mayflower,’’ which stood upon a sidetrack near the Broad- way depot. During the afternoon she drove about the eity in company with a meimber of the company, and then re- tired to the privacy of her car. lIn the evening she was grected by one of the largest and most brilliant gatherings ever assembled in the opera house. The house was crowded. That the great incentive of those present was to see the woman of whom 8o much has been written was evi- dent. There was none of that enthusiasm munifest which is expressive of ad- miration or of championship. The audi- ence sat rather in wonder watching every move, and weighing in their own judg- ment the woman, physically and artisti- cally., She was welcomed g’y only a rip- ple of applause, and at no time after did any of her acting call forth much more *| distinet expression of even approval. Throughout the evening there was no such outhurst from the audience as that which pgave expression to their im- patience at the long and tedious wait be- tween the second and closing acts, Her support proved to be well equipped, and some of them won perhaps a greater amount of applause than did Mrs. Lang- try. She waseyed eagerly, and many opinions v overheard, there seeming a unanimity in the delight at watching her beauty, figure and grace of move- ment, a disappointment at her facial features and a teeling that her acting was not so bud as her critics would make the world believe. Council Bluffs feels firfitifled at having had its curiosity satis- ied. —_—— The Nuisance Law All Right. 'Squire Burke—"The BEE is somewhat in error iu picturing the causes of delays in the abating of nuisances. It isn’t the fault of the law. The law is very simple and very strong. The trouble 1s with the execution, Under the present law the mayor and one alderman, or two alder- men, can decide that anything is a nuis- ance, and can order the marshal to notify the person maintaining the nuisance, and if1tis not abated within three days the marshal’s business 18 to abate it himself, and at the next meeting of the board of health present the bill showing the cost of doing so. This cost is then certified up by the board of health, and 18 put on the tax books against the property owner. There is no evading it, and no delays are necessary. Those who have the excecu- tion of the law in hand can easily sup- press nu ce, if they want to. What. ever the fault, it eertainly is not with the aw. L Three Hundred Pounds of Drunk. John Hitchcock, who lives a short dis- tance out on the Northwestern railway, has been spending several days in the city, most of the time riding the patrol wagon. The first timo he was picked up, he was very drunk. As he weighs 378 pounds, it was no easy task to load him. Deputy Marshal White could not even roll him over. It is no easy task to handle 278 pounds of flesh when well soaked with whisky, but by the aid of others the prisoner was safely put in the cooler. When sobered enough to walk straight, he was allowed to go, dcgosiung his watch for his appearance the next nmrulng at court. When his case wus called he was not on hand. Marshal Guanella started out with the patrol wnfinn to find him, and discovered him bracing up a lamp- post on Broadway. He wasn't so drunk this time that he couldn’t resist. When the officers attempted to put him through the door of the cooler, he braced himself, spreading out his arms, and asit was a tight squeeze to get him through when picked close, it looked like & useless task. The marshal suddenly struck down his arms, and the officer behind at the same time gave & push, and Hitchcock went with a tumble over on to the floor and lay there rolling like a great pump- kin, his feet and hands not being able to touch the floor, He commenced crying, **This ain't fair boys,”’ and the key was turned, locking him in with his tears, A The Bridge and Broadway. Yesterday the bridge company filed with the city clerk its written acceptance of the terms of the resolution passed by the city council on the 26th. By filing this acceptance the important contract 18 closed, By its terms the city agrees to have Broadway filled, curbed and paved clear to the river by the 1st of next Jan- uary, and the bridge company agrees to have the new wagon bridge completed, ready for actual traffic by the 1st of next May. There can be no further doubts as to the sincerity of the intentions of botn the city and the bridge company. The matter is clinched now and there can be no backing down. The documents are in legal form, binding both parties, and making each liable to the other for damages. ——— The Beat of the Drum Major. The man with the gorgeous uniform, who marched so proudiy at the head of the Fifth regiment band, twirling his drum mafor’s stick and wiping the sweat from under his bearskin hat, had his glory suddenly darkened. He came here a few months ago as Sergeant H. D, Carbee, who had served eight years in the regular army, and was a military ex- pert, He was, according to his own tale, and corroborated to some extent by his actions, a thorough military mun, versed in drilling men, and if there was any ove thing which he prided himself on it was grace and efliciency asa drum major. He secured employment as foreman in the yards ot the Union Lum- ber company, and when the Fifth regi- ment band was organized became so intcrested in it as to neglect his other business, He was enthusiastic and espec- ially in sounding his own praise. His egotism was overlooked somewhat on account of his activity, and the bearskin hat and baton were tendered him. He accepted it eagerly, and to his credit be it said that he did some excellent work in drilling the band in street marching. He was onth\qlutl? in helping along several enterprises for the benefit of the band. The recent concert was largely due to him. He got up the vripted pro- gramme, canvassed among the mer- chants for advertisements for its pages, attended to collections, ete. He “ar- ranged for another concert to be given at the lake next Tuesday evening, and began soliciting aid for that. He was quite ofticious, and_started this scheme without any authority from the business manager of the band and without there being any formal meeting to endorse his actions. "The members informally ap- proved it, bowever, and thought be was working in the interests of the band, and they had better let-himn go ahead. 1t 18 said that he collected considerable money and had made numerous contracts, but the details of these matters had not been reported by him. There were some suspicions that” he was at least reckless and impulsive, and it was decided to have & commiittee appointed to look after the collections and the coming open air con- cert. When he discovered that there was a detormination to check him up and take the business out of his hands I evi- dently decided to thwart this purpose and avail himself of the ‘'skip” act. He was boarding at the Creston house, ana he Inf()l‘melf the landlord that he was about to be married and would go to housekeeping. He said that he had sold a man lumber for a house, and the man not being able to pay he had been obliged to take the house to” secure himself. Heo was going (o occupy it. He called for his bill, "and drew a check on the First National bank for $13.90 to square it. The ‘check was afterwards found to be worthless, he not having any money, nor even an account there. He sncceeded in getting his baggage out af the hotel with- out suspicion, and sent it to the transfer, where he checked it for the cast. He told the expressman that he was going over to Omaha, but this was evidently to throw him off his track. He returned up town, and slipping over to the local depot of the Chicago & Milwaukee rail- way took the train for the east. The band boys had a meeting that evening, and as he did not appear, they began the search, and soon ascertained that he had skipped. He hud taken with him the drum major's new uniform, which be- longed to the Doage Light guards, who furnished the uniforms for the use of the band. He had also taken a uniform which belonged to the old *‘Boys' Band,” which disorganized some time ago. It was supposed that he also took with him two or three hundred dollars of the band’s money. The two batons be- longing to the compnn}', and which were also in his possession for use as drum major, were also. with his baggage. It was by means of them that he was 1den. tified on the train. He could not pack them out of sight, and so when the tele- gram was sent to the conductor, Carbee was easily picked out from among the passengers, He was arrested at Mel- bourne, [a., and held there to await the arrival of an officer from here. Chiet Mullen started for there yesterday morn- ing, and he is expected to arrive with his risoner this morning. A comblaint has een filed in Justice Schurz's court charging Carbee with larceny. \ The members of the band are very in- cignant at the manner in which the drum major has acted. They provose to keep faith with the public, however, and will straighten out the tangle which Carbee has made. The band will proceed with the arrangements as contracted by him, and show the public that the organiza- tion 1s fair and square, whatever any | dividual member may do. The band is an excellent one and the actions of Car- bee will cause no serious trouble with the organization. They can get along with- out him, but have sent for him for satis- faction, and to enable, if possible, the straightening u‘p of the matters of which he has knowledge, and of which they are ignorant. They say they will prosecute him and show the public that they do not endorse any such conduct. Now that Carbee has shown himself in his true character, many amusing stories aro told of him. His vanity seems to have led him chiefly into foolishness. He was very proud of his uniform and it was a dazzler. He has been known to array himself in it just for the purpose of going into the dininf room at the hotel for his dinner, and after impressing the fiuusts with his wonderful appearance and fill- ing his stomach, he would go to hisroom, take off his uniform and put on his work- ing clothes and go to the lumber yard. One citizen asserts that he knew Carbee beforc he came here and that he was a porter in a hotel at Fremont. He was astonished to meet him here one Sunday afternoon wearing a silk tile aud arrayed 1n purple and fine linen and to learn, that he was flourishing so well, e J. W. and E. L. Squire lead money. e e The Brutal Assault. The Wyckhoft girl was reported yes- terday as being still confined to her bed by the injuries received in the brutal assault made upon her by Dan Griffin. Two physicians were present and made an examination. Griffin denies that he is guilty, and there are many who be- lieve him innocent of the crime charged. He does not deny that he went with the girl, but says that her injuries were caused by her slipping, and falling in somo way, purely accidental. He brought the girl home, and did not seek to escape. The girl was very reticent to the officers yesterday, and seemed inclined to shield the man who 18 charged. by the family with the assault. —————— Crumbas From Court. Judge Carson spent another day listen- ing to the arguments in the saloon in- junction cases. Yesterday's chief battle was over a motion to dissolve the injunc- tion issued by Judge Thommell ggainst Doerflinger, and against Mr. Brown, the owner of the building. No decision was reached. The Heitman case is to come up this morning at 9 o’clock. The new cases, in which temporary in- junctious are asked, will not be heard until August 5. In the meantime Judge Carson expects to geta little rest and rec- reation at Spirit Lake, for which place he will start next Monday evening. The court rendered no decision 1n the matter of an appointment of a receiver for the Hotel Manawa. The police were notitied resterday to look out for two Alexander boys. who had run away from thetr home in Friend. Neb,, and who are supposed to have come to this city. ——— “Fly Killer"—Dutcher’s Lightning. The most successful exterminator, Every sheet will kill a quart. Quick work.
