Itis surrounded with woods 1n full folinge. Glimpses of the river are caught through the waving branches on oue side, and the Bellevue college, with a lone church tower, tpeeps above the billowing sea of green on the opposite side. 0Old Sol came out brightly, but with tem- pered fervor, and a cool breéze made a day us perfect as the traditionally rare day in June. The contestants in the shooting were formed in line in the open space between the ofticers’ tents, and as they marched to the place, they were reviewed by General Brooke and staff. The adjutant read the nawmes of the successful marksmen, and they stepped forward four paces.

Roberts, of the teenth, will command the team, There were_prizes to present, and General Morrow, of Sidney, made it the occasion for a happy address on the value of target prac- tice. He said: The general said he appeared to congratu late the team upon the creditable record in marksmanship which they had made and to present the medals for such achievements, In the whole range of soldierly duties in a time of peace there is not one more important than that of target pre All training such times is but preparation f the wisdom of such p ion is an axiom accepted by all nations. Discipline and drill are excellent, but a soldier may be perfect in them and yet lack the prime clement in a time of nee > value of n soldier is his 3 f exceution. Discipline ourage alone witl not sufice. They must be_supplewented with a knowledge of the capabilitics of the weapon he carries and the skill to achieve its full capacity. Whatever adds to the efiicicucy of the soldier in battle is of importance 10 the ser- vice. The object of target practice is to train men to the test skill and _efi- ciency _in handling o their arms. Marksmanship in the Ame army is at the highest point in the histor the United States. It has reached a standing not --urgr.nsud by any other nation. This re sult is due to the eucouragement of the gov. ornment and the interest of the army, among both officers and men. In this work 1o officer has been moro zealous or eficient than Col- onel Henry, the inspector of rifle practice of the department. This training should be encouraged by the government to the most liberal extent. There should be rewards other than medals, Ex rewards are needed to stimulate men to their fullest capacity in the development of the arts and the industries, and these are not e important thau improved marksman- ship in the army, The teams should have the best of accommodations in traveling to the contests, They should have a per diem allow- ance and perhiaps an increase of pa "This training also oxerts a groat moral in- fluence, 1t promotes temperance, patience, industry aud skill. It should bo nonored with greater rewards then ordinary routine duty. 1t has auother value in that it promotes economy. Itis well known that there is an euorous waste of amuuition by raw troops, Skilled marksmen will save amunition, and in the event of war the present expenditure for practice will be vepaid, The general concluded by congratulating the team in the name of the department, Colonel Henry then complimented marksmen in terms of high ™ that during the competition he had seen no neglect of duty, no breach of discipline. That should be the highest feather in the cap of every man. They had set an example for the whole department, and he trusted they would be as true soldiers always. Mus. Major Brown then pinned upon Ser- geant Dietz the gold medal awarded him for the best record for tho six-day shooting, My, Lieutenant Mallory sumilarly honored Musician Mayer with a_silver medal for the best skivmish work. Tho first prize had & bar bearing the word “Department’’ and o thick circular pendant, The latter bore the words “Department Marksmanship,” encir- clingtwo guns crossed over ashield. Thie bar of the second prize was inscribed “Sirmish- ing,” aud the pendant “Department Skirmish Prize.” The reverse of both medals bears @ wreath encireling a space left for an in- scription.

The ubiquitous photographer shot off his camera several times, and General Brooke's party returned to the city at 1 o'clock by speclal train. 1t is noticeable that all the prizes and six of the fourteen piaces in the tegm were won by members of the Seyeuteenth infantry from Fort Russell, Wyo. This is the work of Lieutenant Colonel Mulr, who gave the men ten days' practice before leaving their sta- tion, The team is a strong one, though the bad weather has kept down their scor what. They remain at the range till Thurs day, when they leave for San Antonio, e breaking of camp began yesterday un- dar the direction of Licutenant Brooke of the Twenty-first infantry, Fort Bridger. — it BOARD O EDUCATION. Another Meeting Devoted to Heating and Ventilation. Heating and ventilation was the great mooted point at the meeting of the board of edueation last evening. Some of the mem- bers were afraid that the heating and ven- tilating systems for the Park school would in- terfere with each other, but all fears were allayed by Mr. Barrett guaranteeing the per- feet working of his ventilating system with- out interfering with the heating of the building. Owing to the limited capacity of the high school building, Superintendent James sug- gested that it would be best at some time in the near future to divide the children of the Iifth, Sixth, enth and Eighth grades among the other school The committee on 1 ing and ventilation reported that H. T, Johnson, R. A. Cooper and Matt Gahlon had passed examination in steam henting. Ida A Greenlu and Sadie Bunker, teachers of the summer schools, were cach allowed $20.33 for their services through August, It was decided to notify Strang, Cl Co. to place better support at the r boiler No. 2 at the high school at their own expense, the ones they have put in being in- sufticient. The committee to whom was referred the matter of heating and ventilating the Park street school recommended that the contract for heating the building be awarded W hans, Pratt & Co., and that of ventilating be awarded to the Exhaust Ventilating com- vany of Chicago. In the discussion that followed Dr. Saville said that there wereno well ventilated school buildings in the city Mr. McConnell said he wished a perfect bond from-some one that both the heating and ventilating systems proposed would prove satisfactory. Dr. Saville thought there was no use for any such joint bond; if the ventilating com pany guaranteed their work and the heating com guaranteed theirs, that would be Wehrer wanted either Welshans, tt & Co., or the Iixhaust Ventilating com ny, to guarantee the work of both sys ms, for the veutilators might fan all the heated air out of the building. Mr. Rees thought it was unreasonable to ask one firm to guaranteo the work of an- other, The ventilation would not interfere with the heating of the building, us the air introduced was first warmed Mr. Barrett, of the Exhaust company, was allowed to take the floor, and he guaranteed the perfect working of his system without interference with the heati He did not think it was businesslike to ask nim to guurantee the work of another firm. Mr. Welshans came forward and guaran- teed the perfect working of his heating - tem, but not in conncetion with Mr. Bar ventilating system, Thi: 1 still more of a hubbub, some of the members insisting that while both the heating and ventilating systems might be perfect of themselves, still in connec. tion with each other the heating might prove a failure through the interference of the ven- tilator and vice versa. 1t was then suggested that the committee split their report in two and otherwise modi- fy it, and they then offered the following: THe committee on heating and ventilation recommend the acceptance of the bid of the xhaust Ventilating company for £1,515 to furnish a ventilating apparatus for the Park school building and will guaranteo the same to amply ventilate the building according to their bid, and that it will not depreciate the work of the steam heating apparatus in the good heating of the buildiug, and that no payment be made till February next, when the same shall be tested. This awkwardly worded resolution was signed by Messrs, Spalding and Saville, and proving satisfactory to the board it was mlnylc\l. The same committce then presented an- other report favoring the granting of the contract for heating the Park school to Wel- shans, Pratt & Co., for the sum of §2,533. This, 100, was accepted. The superintendent of buildings was i structed to build a smoke flue in the Park street schoolof sufiicient capacity for the use of the steam heating apparatus. The superintendent of instruction and the committee on buildings and property were authorized to order such minor changes in the interio ngements of the Lake school as in their judgment may be neces- sary for the better ' convenience of teachers and pupils of that school the cost of same not to e: d was granted a two month's ence. roceived from the var- s, and referred, There w e over the bids of 18857, ey Webrer moved that the matter of employing an assistaut German teacher in the high school be taken up. od. Superintendent Sumes was called on to state whether such a teacher was needed the school. He said 1t was possible that such a teacher would not be needed. He thought it rather premature to settle this matter at this time After some debate it was decided to indef- mitely postpone the matter. bt e ADDITIONAL COUNCIL BLUFFS Lake View Park, John W. Paul, who has heavy real estate interests near Lake View park, has signified his intention of meeting the mayor, aldermen and the park com- missioners of this city at an early date, witha view of making extensive improve- ments at the park. It is understood that Mr. Paul will give to the park commis- stoners a 100 feet wide strip along the east side of the lake from the pienic grounds south to W. 8. Mayne's pos- sessions, who, it is said, will donate a similar strip around to Fifteenth street, The boulevard donated to the park is to be put in fine condition by the park commissioners, and thus a fine drive be opened from the city to Lake View park. The body of water in the park is about two miles in length, is well shaded on its banks with a pretty grove of several acres, and with the pic- turesque bluffs in the background the picture is a lovely one. Between the lake and the Missouri river is an lsland containing several acres, which is owned by the city. The plans of im- provement are to make this a lnkeside boulevard. L Still After the Park, Papers were served on Mayor Rohrer yesterday, notifying him of a new suit in the United States court by which the parties who have been trying to wrest Pairmount park from the ‘city not only claim the park but #5,000 damages. They haven't got the park yet, and haven't shaken down any large crop of dollars to clear the title in their minds. - A Striking Demonstratign. Colonel Whiting and Byron Brown held a little political controversy last evening on Broadway. The argument was striking, es- pecially as Brown landed his right with crush- ing force upon the colonel's nasal organ, A warrant was imwediately issued for Brown's arrest and the charge of assault with intent to kill placed against hun. — —— Colored Oratory, Last evening there was & large gathering on Pearl stroet to hear A.

DEBATE ON THE FISHERY TREATY, A Motion to Postpone Consideration of the Matter Until Next Decems ber Advocated by Sen- ator Gray. Senate. WASHINGTON, August 18.—~The resolution offered last week by Mr. Edmunds, calling on the attorney general for copies of the cor- respondence between the department of jus- tice and the supervisor of clections in the city of New York on the subject of registra- tion and election, was taken up in the senate to-day and its purpose was explained by him, After a brief discussion the resolution was adopted. The senate then resumed consideration of the fisheries treaty in open executive session and was addressed by Mr. Cali in support of its ratification At the close of Mr. Call's speech the pro siding officer announced the question to b Mr. Morgan's motion to postpor tion of the treaty until Decem and asked whether the senate was r the question. Mr. Hoar called for the yeas and n the motion, Mr. Gray said that before a vote was taken he desired to say something on the motion He then began a specch in favor of post poning consideration until December next Mr. Gray said that it had become evident from the outgivings on the republican side of the chamber that the treaty was not to be ratified at this session. The treaty was being discussed in the midst of an excited political campaign, and the democratic sena- tors had been told that they were arguing the British side of the case. Why should not the consideration of the treaty bo post poned to a more quiet season? _ No interests involved could possibly be affected injuri ously by the proposed postponement. Tho fishermen whose rights were the subject matter of the treaty were pursuing their avocations now unmolested and undisturbed under the protocol attached to the treaty. As to the taunt that the democratic sen were arguing the case of Great Brita Gray said that no taunt was so irit that to a democrat. The democrat had no hostility and no policy in forcign matters that it was ‘ashamed of. 1t had always been ready to press to the ox crything that conecrued the coun try’s right and honor. My, Beek, by cousent of Mr. ray, criti cised some recent remarks of Mr. Erye as to the practice of Canadian fishermen sending frozen fish to the American warket free of duty under the tariff clause of “Iish for immediate eonsumption,” and said that as long s fresh fish could ouly reach Boston and Portl id the people there et them was eminently satisfucto ¢ England_senators,” but that h fish could be sent to Ohio and Ken- ¢ it then became an offence in their eyes The whole thing_was in the interest of a Gloucester syndicate, which even the Iaboring men of the country were protesting against as a set of frauds.

Mr, Hoar suid that ncither ke nor the sen ator from Mississippi knew anything of the character of the persons who composed that assembly of Gloucester Knights of TLabor, but that the picturcs which they had drawn of the fisheries and fishing interests aud of the laboringmen and_capitalists of Massa- chusetts was a slander in gencral and slander in every detail. There was not u busis of truth in it. He spoke of the prosper- ity of the workingmen and women of Mass- achusetts, and described their homes as the homes of ' comfort and love and blessing and patriotism and intelligence Mr. George rose to reply, but Mr. Beck 1t that the discussion might as well go over till to-morrow, und on his motion the scnate adjourned.

The Authorities Tear Down His Con- demned Buildings. J. E. Edwards was the owner of four dilapidated, ramshackle dwellings which stood on the corner of Eleventh street and Capitol avenue. He does not own them any longer, for they were leveled with the earth by the order of the city building insy yesterday. A large force of workmen re- paired thither at an early hour, and withina short time all that remained of the unsightly structures was a conglomerate pile of plas- tering, lath, broken rafters ana shattercd weather-boarding. These buildings were condemned, as they were old and almost tenuntl and extended too far upon the stree Moreover, the fire limit on the same had expired. Edwards had been granted abundant time to move his buildings back in order that they might con- form with the survey of the streets, but he nov only neglected to profit by this, but otherwise ignored the requirements of the law. Latterly he applied for a permit to move the houses to another part of the city, outside the fire iumits, but he was refused, on the grounds thatthe buildings were in an unsafe condition. On Friday last the case was_ tried before a jury in the police court and Edwards found guilty. Ho was charged with obstructing the streets. Ho was ordered to tear them down, but he failed to do so. Conscquently the building inspector has had it done for him, Edwards claims that great loss has been entailed upon him, that the; Wi worth #1,800, and that he received § rental per month therefrom, dwards wus fined #3 and costs in the police court, which he paid. He then informed Inspector Whit- lock he would not demolish his buildings if he was arrested and fined every day. Mr, Edwards was very warm yesterday, when he discovered the worlk of the authoriues, He will seek redress through the courts, ot Drink Malto, 25 cents a bottle.
