Those who visi the Broadway depot yesterday afternoon saw a beautiful square banuner with the inscription, ‘“The overland fiyer, one day saved.” It was made of tri- colored silk, red, white and blue, and was very handsome, both in design and execu- tion, It was the handiwork of Agent J. M. Oursley, and demonstrates that he is an_ ar- tist o mean ability as well as a first class railrond man, " The walks in Baylis park are about fin- ished, and it will take but a short time to put the fountain in position’ after the neces- sary money is subscribed to purchase it. All citizens should respond liberally when ap- prouched by the park commissioners in rela- tion to the matter. It will require about £2,500 to purchase the fountain and set it, and the added beauty to the park will more than repay the outlay. The new athletic park at Manawa has been enclosed and the first game willbe played there to-morrow. Mr. Reed has discontin- ued all trains, but the management of the park have made arrangements to run them during the day and evening at the usual price. Mr. Reed's action in allowing the 0y 10 run the trains is very commendable, a8 it gives them a chance to get some return for their heavy expensesin fittingup the park. —o— 8. B.

THE COMING JULY RACES A Well Known Lady Dead~Doings in the Courts—Board of Trade Do- ings—Briet News—Personal Paragraphs. The Western Delegation ‘‘Received.” Yesterday afternoon was quite a gala day for the people of Council Bluffs, the occasion being the arrival of the Pacific coast delega- tion to the Chicago convention, Requests for teams met with a liberal response and at 4 o'clock fully one hundred carriages were in waiting at the Broadway depot to convey the guests of an_hour about the city. It wasa citizens’ reception, and w t, in any sense, a party matter. Quite a delegation from the yoang Men's and Old Men's Republican clubs met at tho club quarters and under the direction of Captain Cole, marched to_the depot to act as_escort to the visitors, They were accompunied by a platoon of police and Dalby's hand. At 4:25 the special train ar- rived and the ,delegation was then taken in carriages to various noints of interest about the city, The stars and stripes associated with pictures of James . Blaine were con- spicuously carried by the delegates, which indicates in which girection the wind blows from off the westérn coast. After viewing all the parks and such other portions of the city and meeting as many business men as their limited time would allow, they were all driven to the “Q" depot, to which place their train had been taken, and re-embarked for Chicago. i i [ Small Boys in Court. Judge Deemer yesterday ordered the two boys, Eddie Knight and Mike O'Leary, sent 10 the reformn school, as requested by thewr parents. County Clerk J. J. Shea asked per- mission to take the Knight boy to his home and try to make a man of him, and the re- quest was granted. The boy is not malicious, and the only reason for Asking the court to dispose of him seems to come from a desire on the part of his father and stepmother to et him out of the way. He runs away from school, but i8 a_bright, intelligent little fel- loy oung O'Leary is wholly incorrigible, and it is eminently proper that’ he should be disposed of in the manner ordered. He is a cripple, having lost one leg, but can get around fast enough on the remaining limb to get into more meanness thun the uverage youngster, —_———— Mrs. Henry Miller Dies. Yesterday forenoon at about 11 o'clock Mrs. Louise Miller passed away from this life at the age of sixty-seven years, She was the wife of Henry Miller, No. 215 Vine street. For months she had suffered from occasional and severe attacks of heart dis- ease, and this, combined with other difficul- ties, ended her life. A husband and one daughter, Mrs, Henry Otto of this city, sur- vive her. Deceased was born in Nice, Germany, in 1821, and shortly atter her marriage moved to America in 1849. She, with her husband, came to Council Bluffs nineteen years ago. Duriog her life she was ome of the most prominent German ladies in the city. For years she was connected with Eastern Star lodge No. 25, and in Harmony chapter held the responsible office of treasurer,which posi- tion she held at the time of her déatn. There are many who counted her their friend and her death will be most sincerely mourned. The funeral services will be held atthe home Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. J. Mackey will officiate. ———— Tramp, Tramp, Tramps. The vag contingent 18’ very numerous about the city at the present time, and the police have their Hands full to gather them all into the Bryant street fold. Yesterday morning Judge Aylesworth was confronted with seven new specimens of the tramping fraternity, and after ordering two of the number, Charles Miller and John Newbank, out of town, he fired the other five back into the sewer. Mrs. Shea, a female with an inborn love of the shamrock and an_acquired taste for the ardent, was cantured by Chief Lucas while trying' to supporta tree on Breadway, and rushed into the box. She was too tired to plead and the case was continued until she obtained needed rest. e Stop at the Bechtele. - The Last Nail in the Hotel. There was an informal meeting of the members of the board of trade last evening at the rooms. It was decided to devote still another day to hotel subscription work, and for this purpose the members of the joint committee are requested to meet at Peregoy & Moore’s store this morning at 9:30 o’clock A few more liberal subscriptions will us the hotel on any site which the syn- may select. Let there be no more delay on the part of our ¢ s. When they are called on to-day let them respond to the full extent of their ability.

Travelers! - — The Motor Line Matter. The crossing dificulty between the Mil- waukee road and the motor line remains practically unchanged. Mr. Reed is closing up his business and is about ready to leave the city. This he will do if the matter 1s not settled at once in @ manner that will allow him to operate his line. The Milwaukee of- ficiale have evidently made their final propo- sition, und are resting easy in the fact that a great corporation has strangled a little thing which could do it no possible injury. A gnat and an ox had a *‘controversy” once upon time, and judging from the temper of the cit s of this city that result may be dupli- cated in the cuse in hand. The people are determined that their wishes in this matter shall be respected and are in no mood to sub- mit tamely to what they are pleased to term the “insult” thus offered them. Aun application has been made in the district Ccourth to dissolve the temporary injunction which was granted by Judge Deemer, at o at & former term. Judge Deemer, who is now sitting here, has signified his willingness 10 hear argument upon the application, This may be done to-day, and if not to-day in the latter part of the coiming week, The Repubdlican Club. There was & meetiog of the republican club last evening to perfect arrangements relative to attending the Chicago convention, A resolution was passed to tender a vote of thanks to the board of trade, Council Bluffs club, Chief Lucas and the eitizens generally irvespective of party afliations, for their readiness and generosity in showing the city 10 the western visitors. A committee of five was selected 10 attend to the matter of so- curing porters for the delegation to Chicago. There will be no demonstration on Sunday afterndon when the delegation leaves, but the vice president was instructed to call a meeting of the club to meet the returning delegation at the depot and escort it to the hall. Arrangements will be made for quite @ parade on that occasion.

Pall Mall Gazette: On Sunday, the 18th of September of last year, a lad was wandering along the sandy beach at North Fremantic, in the colony of west- ern Australia, when he came upon a deed albatross lying just above high- water mark. The bird, which evi- dently had just expired, was fitted round the neck with a tin band about nine inches long, and covered with punctuated letters forming words which ‘m could not understand. He took it next day to his employer, a Perth jew- eler, named Nesbit who saw that the in scription was in French, and read a follows: **18 naufrages sont refugies su les iles Corzet, 4, Aout, 1897.” Freman- tle lies about three thousand miles east three-quarters north from the Crozets, a voleanic gnvuY in the south- ern Indian ocean. id not appear clear whether the men had been ecked on the 4th of August or whether that was the day on which ad sent the message, but prob- was the date of shipwreck, for conjecture pointed to the likelihood of the albatross—-impelled by fear of the strange collar with which it had been weighed-—having traveled incessantly onand on as fastas wearying wings permitted until it broke its heart at the first land it reached. And an alba- tross would take a much shorter time than six weeks to fly three thousand miles without any lengthened break. Mr. Nesbit brought the discovery of the dead bird and of its message to the smmediate notice of the public authori- ties of the colony, who telegraphed full particulars to the colonial office. The story naturally awakened great interest throughouo Australia, but upon a ves reporting that she had touched at the Crozets and seen nothing of the alleged refugees, doubts arose as to its genuine- ness. It will be remembered that a ship called the Strathmore was wrecked upon these islands some years ago, and that the survivors, ‘including & woman, lived on them for months before their rescue by a vassing whaler. Since then a store depot has been kept on Posses- sion Llll& This and the neighboring ets were searched in vain for traces of the shipwrecked men, and although no one who had actually seen that rusty tin plate was likely to believe it had been puton the deaa bird asa hoax, yet as such, in the eastern colonies, the soon came to be regarded. Happily the title of the albatross to tatit) B now i een abundantly con- firmed. By the last English mail the western Australian government re- ceived dispatches from the colonial office with enclosures from the foreign office among which was the following communication from the French pre- mier to Lord Lytton: (Lranslated.) PAmis, Jan. 27.—M. I’Ambassadeur. In consequence of a letter which Mr, Egerton has addressed to me on th 3 ject of the shipwreck on the Crozet islands of thirteen mariners, supposed to be Frenchmen, I asked the minister rine and of the colonies to send a vessel in the direction indicated to search for traces of the shipwrecked men. With reference to this communi- cation, Admiral Krantz has just for- warded to me the following telegram, which he received from the admiral in command on the Indian ocean: “MOZAMBIQUE, Jan. 11.—The Meur- the has just returned. Thirteen ship- wrecked men from tlie Tamais, after having exhausted their provisions, left the Isle of Pigs on the 15th of Septem- ber to go to Possession island. No trace was found of their arrival there noron any other island. Remains the hope that some fishing vessel may have picked them up.” I have the honor to brln;x this tele- gram to the notice of your excellency, and to request that you will if you think well submit it to the government of her Britannic majesty. Receive, ete. (Signed) FLOURENS. His Excellency, Lord Lyons. Thus it appears that five days before their message-bearer fell dead upon the north Fremantle shore. The Crozet castaways, leaving some record behind them, and quitted the isle on which they originally landed. Whether they drowned in their effort at escape re- mains unknown. But that much seems too unfortunately certain, that the life of the noble bird was sacrificed in vain, and that not to that marvelous flight with its pathetic end was due their sue- cor, if succor came to the seamen who had sought it by so strange a means. A Beer Pipe Line. One of the funniest of modern ideas has just come from the brain of William Hogg, of Allegheny s the Pitts- burg (Pa.) Times. It nothing less than to serye private and public hu\m--‘ with a pipe line beer supply pr as they are now furnished with S and gas, The object is to do away with restrictions which the Penusylvania high license law inflictse upon the sa- loon business, They say that with fewer saloons there will not be such securing of beer, and hence less will be consumed. They would avoid all trouble and all privation by having the matter arranged so that by turning a faucet they could at any time have their lager at once and in cool, fresh- tap condition. The Times says Hogg's invention has been approved by brew- ers and he will secure letters patent as soon as possible. The Times thus de- sceribes the absurd scheme: “The idea is to lay pipes in the streets, the same as other pipes are laid, and these will have house connections, the beer puss- ing through a meter in each house to show the quantity used. The pives will be of peculiar construction, and three in number, one inside the other. The outer pipe will be of clay* This will surround an inner pipe oj iron, which will still have another in- side of it. The inner pipe will be two inches in diameter, lined with silver to prevent corrosion. Between this pipe and the outer iron pipe will be a spuce of about two incnes ulll around to give space to a current of cold uir from the ice-making machinery at the brewery, thus keeping the beer cool all the e, Mr. Hogg calculated thata pressure of 50,000 gallons in a hogshead or reser- voir on the sixth floor of the brewe will be sufficient to force the beer throug the pipes into the houses where the service pip:s run. The con sumer will pay no license or tax, but it will be necessary for the brewer to affix the internal revenue stamps to the hogshead in the breweryes The plan contemplates sending around persons once a month to examine the meters, see how much beer has been consumed, and collect the money for it. About once a month the pipes will be cleaned out thoroughly in order to keep them in good condition and preveut the beer from nmllmg. R lal'l' BlAlL'Al\!

Des Muises, Ia., June 15.—[Special Tele- gram to Tre Beg.|—The new schedule of maximum freight rates was made public by the state railroad commission to-day. The roads doing business in this state are classi- fied as A, Band C. The class A roads are the Chicago & Northwestern, Chicago, Bur- lington & Quincy, Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha, Iliinois Central, Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs, Sioux ty & Pacific, Toledo, Peoria, and Union Pacific. The B class are Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, and Omaha & St. Louis. All the other roads o into class C. Class B freights are 15per cent bigher than class A, and class C rates are 30 per cent higher than class A, is conceded, however, that ' practically the minor roads will have to adopt the schedule rates, as competition will compelthem to do 80 at competitive points, and the long and short haul clause of the law will force them to give thew competitive rates to all point: In completing the schedule the commssion- ers removed the difficulty of which the rail- way managers justly complained at their late meeting with the commissioners by increas- ing the increment on shipments avove 0) miles S0 as not to interfere with existing Missouri river rates. They retain the tarift s they originally adopted it on all shipments below 100 wiles. A Pioneer Suicides. HAMBURG, Ia., June 15.—[Special Telegram to Tuk Bee. |—Uncle Libin Carman, an old pioneer who has lived in Fremont county for fifty years, committed suicide this morning by shooting the topof his head off with a shot gun. He arose in the morning and as usual gave some orders to his hired man and sent his wife over to one of the neigh- bors on some business, leaving him alone in the house reclining on a c . Upon herre- turn she found him in a back room dead, as stated above. The University Investigation. JTowa Ciry, Ia., June 15.—In the university investigation to-day the first witness was H. S. Fairrall, editor of the Iowa City Daily Re- publican. He refused to testify as to the alleged conversation between himself and Dr. Shrader, a member of the medical faculty, as to the treatment by Peck and his assistants in the case of Keeler, whom Hein- richs charged was maltreated and died in the university hospital. He said his talk with Shrader was confidential and professional, and he did not want to divulge it. The sub- stance of Fairrall's testimony was that no physician except those working” with Dr. Peck were allowed access to the hospital. A Murderer Tries Suicide.

Of course people don’t care except for the story, the plot, the effect on the emotions, There was a time when they w sup- posed to do harm. The yellow-covered novel was the aim of many & hard hit from the pulpit and the press not many years ago, but I doubt if, after all, hu- man nature has not proved itself able to survive the dangerous effects. The world is not much wickeder for them, perhaps. But the modern French novel leaves its effect, and gong to. One can not help believing when the cleverest French writers de- vote themselves to strong stories of illicit love and unconjroilable animal passion, that there is almost nothing else in social life, so little else at least that they can not fill a book about it.

It is worth while to stop a moment and think out the full significance of such an announcement as this, that we may geta better ap- preciation of the big scale on which nature sometimes does what are usually little things, and the sweeping mischief that follows when she attempts mischief at all. This cloud of locusts would cover nearly one-third of Indiana. A diameter of 150 kilometers *is ninety miles and more, or a little less than a hundred, and a cloud one hundred miles across its bow front and as many back to the far side would cover the space from the .
