Phares has instituted proceedings in district court to secure a divorce from her husband, E. A. Phares, on the grounds of desertion and cruel and abusive treatment, She asks for tl stody of her minor chil- dren, Bessie and Edna. A day or two ago while Randall Williams was ‘‘gunning” in the suburbs he struck a rich find. 'This was nothing less than a beautiful specimen of the wandering alba- tross. He bagged the game and it is now in the hands of Brezee, the taxidermist, for mounting. He is very proud of his bird, as he has just reason to be. Mr. and Mrs. W, H. Almy desire it stated most emphatically that neither of them will appear at the next term of the district court, nor at any other term of any other state, and ask for a divorce. The; nothing occurred out of which to construct #0 silly a sto and regret exceedingly the unpleasant notoriety such a statement has occasioned. The reason why the artificial lake in Fair- mount park is not in running orderais be- cause the #00-barrel cistern built on the top of the bluff for supplying the er was not securely built and one of the sides burst out when filled with water, It is now nearly re- aired and will be tested again in a few days. The work will not be accepted by the com- missioners unless it is built according to contract. There was a meeting at the republican headquarters last evening to make arrange ments for decorating the hall. Twenty dozen flags have been purchased and 400 yards of bunting. It was decided to purchase thirty dozen more flags and about one thou- sand yards more of bunting. The ladies have taken hold of the matter, and will meet some day this week to superintend the decor- ation of the hall. Friday was the last day for the filing of cases for the next term of the district court, that convenes on the 25th inst. This gives ten days for the printing of bar dockets and the other necessary arrangements for the coming term. There ars 215 new cases to be heard, besides the large number of criminal cases that are_awaiting the action of the grand jury. The term will be a long one and will probably reach well into the fall, and ossibly continue until it is time to prepare for the following one. James Robinson, a lineal descendant of Ham, presented himseif at the county clerk's office yesterday and asked for a permit to marry Nellie Woods, & white woman, He was not sure of her age and was vequired to produce her. She managed to pass muster, and the pair proceeded 'Squire Barnett's of- fice, where they were made one flesh. The woman seemed to be “stuck” on her dusky admirer and the justice refrained from mak- ing any adverse criticisms on her choice— until after she was out of hearing. Thecase of State vs Henry Delong and ‘W. C. Utterback, for burglary and perso- nating oficers, was called in Squire Schurz’s court and continued two weeks at the re- quest of Mynster & Lindt, attorneys for tho prosecution, The case is another one of those resulting from the secizure of liquors by the search warrant process. 1t is charged that the defendacts broke open a building on an adjoining lot while searching the “*Marble ‘Works" on Upper Broadway, while the pros- ecution claims they had no right to do so. Council Bluffs is the regimental headquar- ters of the K. of P. and in the appearance of the regiment at Sioux City on the 2th and 27th insts.the members take a very warm and commendable interest. They propose to ap- Kelr in & way that will do the city of their jome honor and have arranged to take with them Dalby’s full military band, twenty-one pleces. This will involve considerable ex- pense and to meet it the boys are arranging 1o have a grand ball on the evening of Sep- tember 19. This will be the grand ball of the season and all lovers of the ‘“mazy” are re- quested to prepare for it. At a meeting of the directors of the knit- ting factory last evening it was decided to negotiate a small loan and start up the works immediately. There is §1,800 of material on hand that is already paid for, and all the money that is needed 18 what is required for actual running expenses. Orders have been received for a large amount of goods, and the factory will be run to its full capacity of fifty operatives, Oneof the city bauks stands ready to make the loan, and it is probable that e\'orylhin%\vul be'in running order by noon to-day.

A Hackman Kicks at Being Kicked— Fined For Fighting Dogs—A Mad Buli—Interesting Police Cases—Personals. Blufiites at Okobgji, Although Manawa presents many attrac- tions, and i8 fttracting many who would otherwise visit Spirit Lake and Lake Okobojt, yet there are not a few from this vicinity who find delight in these two lakes. E. 4, Odell has just returned from Oko boji, and reports a capital time there. He found hunself not among strangers by any means. There was quite a sprinkling of Bluffs and Omaha representatives, 1 Flickinger and family are enjoying a season there, Flickinger nas rigged one of the fleetest sailboats on the lake, and has christened 1t “On Lieet in the Wind.” He thinks of bringing his boat back and placing it on the bosom of Manawa so soon as he has tired of holding the championshiv of Lake Okoboji. Wells Cook is stopping at the Orleans, He goes over to Okoboji regularly ev: other day. He is always satisfied with one fish, and having taken that he hastens back to the Orleans. Joe Shea {s known as the luckiest fisher- man this season. Only one man, the guide, Inman, who takes the boats out, begins to et such strings as Shea. Shea holds a line £ eaoh hand and keeps pulling in first one and then the other. n he gets a bite he turns his attention to that one line, leaving the other twisted around his leg, and he is busy most of the time. He pulled out a pike the other day which weighed nearly eight pounds. It was sent down to his father here us a sample of what the Sheas can do when they get started. The catch nearly pulled Joe out of the boat. It flopped about in the boat like a young whale, Odell, who was in the boat with him, had to knife it while Shea sat down on it to keep it _quiet to the death. Shea and Odell, mostly Shea, caught sixty pounds Saturday afternoon A. Starr is" enjoying himself mostly by shooting ut murks with a target gun. He spends hours throwing beer bottles into the lake, and then cracking them with his little gun. He is making a good record in his specialty. Harry Hawarth and family have been en- joying themselves, too. ~ Harry brought in soventy-five pounds of fish,and as he couldn’t ship them, the train having gone, he parted with them for 75 cents, the market having been glutted by the presence of so many art- ful fishers. The Omaha camp is an _attractive one to nll. The Dubuque and Keokuk visitors ally charmed with the society thoy find there. and are duily callers, Euchre parties and hops make every evening a merry one with the Omahas and their friends. A larger number of new cottages are going up this season than ever before. While Du- buque and Keokuk are flirting with the Oma- has,Des Moines is bent on a more material rivalr The Des Moines folks are at Giv- en's t. Each camp 18 trying to outshine the other. Omaha puts down a few more yards of sod, and 1nmediately Des Moines puts down a few yards more. Each im- provement is followed by a similar and_lit- tle larger one by the ot Asa result both camps are becoming very attractive. They are sodded clear to the water's edge, the lawns being very pleasing. Three new cottages are going up at the Omaha camp. There is also fine bathing there. Des Moines points with pride to a half dozeu new cottages, and holds its lots from $250 to £00. The Manawa_steamboats have a bona as compared with those on Okoboji or Spi lake. At Manawa it is considered that 25 cents to cross the little lake and back is cheap, and the boatmen grumble if they are not loaded so as to bring in several dollars each trip. At Okoboji 50 cents covers the cost for tbe round trip, stopping at all points, and taking about three hours. The average number of pssengers is not over eight, and when there are four passengers the steam- boatmen seem pretty well satisfied. Some of the Council Bluffs folks chartered a_ steamer the other day for the afternoon. The boat carries about seventy-five. The boys got the boat fDl' 86 ‘and then invited their friends to fill The excursion included all the points arounLl the lakes, and lasted from early in the afternoon to8 o'clock in the evening. One little boat about half the size of the E. Mayne is used in towing out row boats for the fishing'parties. 'he little tow boat is a fiyer and it costs only 50 cents to have your boat towed out three miles and 50 cents more to have it towed in at night. Manawa boatmen would go crazy with these low rates. There was @ sailing race one day last week, in which Omaha, as usual, captured the cup. The course was six miles and re- turn and was sailed in an hour and forty minutes, Most of the season has been wet and lowry but the visitors are holding on in the expectation of a change each day for the better. The cool, cloudy weather has had its advantages, lhouuh, as it has made the fishing better than for five years past. The Bluffs visitors miss the beach with which Manawa is favored. At Okoboji there is no such beach. The bathers have to wear heavy sandals, or else have their feet torn by the rocks. There is but one bathing house, and that has but twelve rooms. The largest number of bathers in any one day was 64, and the average is from four to tena d\l\ The water is clear as crystal, and cool, and 1f Manawa's sandy beach ‘could only be added it would be complete.

Among all circles one hears the query “Where's D. B.? and all seem to feel that in order to have a real good time, he must be the leader in the fun. R As Seen By the Stars, Yesterday's busiuess in police court was the lightest of any Monday morning for some time. Two boys, Henry Smith and George Cameron, were booked for vagrancy. They left Chicago some some time ago and started out to shear the wild and woolly west, but they found the wool too wirey and it dulled the keen edge of their butcher knives. They strolled into the Milwaukee yards ata lule hour Sunday evening, after a walk of twenty miles, and had’ barely fixed their “shake downs” in a box car when a hard hearted policeman came along and ordered them to “‘tumble out.” Shortly afterwards the patrol wagon dashed up and they thought their last hour had They were very thankful to find themselves in the police sta- tion a few minutes later. The court gave them some good advice and recommended a change of climate. They promised to get back to the Garden city with all possible speed and were relcased. John Evans was charged with the larceny of a dinner pail from one of the unight hands at the transter. For several nights past the workmen have missed their midnight meal on account of some light-fingered pilferer, and informed Depot Policeman Quinn, who set a neat little trap, into which his durkey- ship quickly tumbled. Evans is the coon who recently stole a couple of blankets from the stables at Union park. His case was con- tinued until the necoessary witnesses could be securad. James Brown was charged with keeping open u disorderly house on Sunday. Brown is one of the saloon men who thought that they could monkey with the prohibition buzz- saw seven days in the week, contrary o the strict orders of the muyor.

He circled the court house and jail three times in a futile search for Sheriff O'Neil, and finally disappeared down the Ninth street motor track in the direction of Manawa. It is surmised that he had heard of the lake's advantages for dog fights, and wanted to *'go them one better.” R An Organ Concert. The music loving citizens of the Bluffs will have an opportunity to avail themselves of a fine treat Thursday evening, August 80, at St. Francis Xaviers' church. The occasion will be the opening of the splendid new pipe organ, and an excellent programme is being prepared. The concert will be under the auspices of the Catholic choir and no pains will be spared to secure the finest talent ob- tainable in the twin cities, and make the affair a grand success in all its particulars. Mr. Will Gratian, organist of St. Paul’s, and Mr, W. C. Marshall, of All Saints, Omaha, will preside at the org: The celebrated boy choir of St. Paul's will take part in the programme, as will also the church choir, assisted by Mr. I. M. Treynor and other well known v and Omaha. Tickets be placed on sale in all parts of the city. Iteserved seats will be sold at €1, and gen 1 admission 50 cents. The organ is a grand instrument and the wonder- ful effects produced b, to please even the most critical. Muych curiosity has been expressed to hear the organ. and there is no doubt that the large church will be completely filled on the eventful evening. -~ A Slick Young Fraud. Some time ago a young man registered at the Bechtele as H. P. Ray, and represented himself to be an agent for the New York Sportsman. He made himself known to sev- eral horsemen here and secured a number of subscriptions for that journal for one year. A few days since one of the subscribers re- ceived a letter from the home office of the paper stating that “Henry Palmer” had sent in 1 as a quarter’s subscription from said subscriber, and the same amount from others in the ¢ and asking as to Mr. Palmer’s re- sponsibility. It now develops that Ray and Palmer are_the same one, and that one a swindler. He told the parties here that the regular price was $4 per year, but the club rate $3, and secured quite a large club. He sent in $1 from each }or a quarter's subsc tion, dropping $2 into his own pocket. He made a neat little sum and departed for greener flelds. The case will be looked up and the probability is Mr. Ray, alias Palmer, will soon be sweating in the county cylinder for obtaining money unaer false pretenses. —_——— Will Probably Stay. Rev. G. W. Crofts returned yesterday from Colfax, where he has been recreating. Tue Bee sought out the reverend gentleman to learn how he viewed the call from Kansas City for him to become pastor of a church the He said he was not ready to make public any views in regard to it, but what dropped out in the course of the conversation indicated that there was little probabihity of his accepting. His church here 1s united, and there seems no good reason for his re- signing his pastorate here. In v, f all the circumstances he will doubtless hesitate greatly at even considering a call elsewhere at all bly. The Congregational people, and in fact the community at large, will doubtless bring so strong a pressure to bear for his retention here that Kansas City will call in vain, —— Pacific House 1s open to the traveling public, notwithstanding to the contrary. A Conten A citizen dropped a §5 gold picce through a grating in front of the Boston Tea comipany’s store on Main street lust evening and the loser requested permission to go down cellar and get it but the clerk who was present refused it. Chief Lucas wasappealed to and his services secured. He demanded that the door be opened, and when the clerk refused was about to kick it n when the door was unlocked. The clerk then insisted that the man was a tramp and_had lost no money, but the chief knew better and went to the cellar, where he found the shiner. The clerk doubtless intended to pocket it him- self. He was too cowardly to knock & man down and take his money but would stoop to worse than sneak thieving. — - Artists prefer the Hallett & Davis piano, at C. B. l\lum(‘ Co., 224 Broadway.

Heath: Although there are many laws and customs existing among the Russians that are reprehensible, there are those one must admirve and admit to be just and advantageous. As a body the Russians are good people. There are exceptions, of course, just as there are in America or any other countr; The trouble is the stranger most frequently meets the exceptions® 1 do not want it understood that I con- demn her people, for Ido not. But I believe there is more despotism and op* pression, and more extreme e. se of the individual and official power than there should be; and if there wasa greater exhibition of humanity on the part of the tsar and his counselors mor e good would be done and more happi- ness would be the result. ng the laws and |n~(nunm 8 of Russia the American comes impatient. Changesare wrou in all monarchial countries by degie There are no political revolutions like those constantly taking place to a greater or less extent under constitu- tional forms of government and in re- publics. It may be, as has been avgucd to me by intelligent and patriotic Rus- sians, that the subjects of llu-uurmuld not be successfully ruled.and th could not be proberly improved,with any other than the present system of gov- prnment, It is held that the very character of the people preciudes the practicability of a republican form of government, and that with so many va- rieties of blood and character the exer- cise of the franchise, popular el and expressions from the people are not to be considered. I would have it understood that any well-intentioned American who goes to Tussia, armed with a passport properly vised, is perfectly safe, it he conducts himself with caution and propriety, and that he will find nowhere a more inter- esting people or institutions. In considering the defense made by the revolutionists and nihilists in Rus- sia of their hostile attitude to the tsar and his laws, it is interesting to study the position taken by native Russians who are loyal to their ruler in advocut- ing his cause. I formed an acquaintance with one of the most intelligent and in- structive of the tsar's late subjects upon my return from Russia to Washington. Count Charles d’Arnaud was born, edu- cated, and spent_the major part of his life in Russia. He was a member of one of the best known families of the em- pire. He was in the Russian engineer corps during the Crimean war, and was one of the urm{y which rcmsmd the gal- lant charge o yson’s noble six bundred at the bun. e of Balaklava. During the American civil war he came to this country, was commissioned as a captain, and mlgned to duty on Gen- eral Rosecrans’ staff.

The last Army and Navy Joarnal con- tains a very interesting sketeh of Gen- eral Phil Sheridan, In this we find, for the first time, the true history of Sheridan’s appointment to_the o of colonel of the Second : ” alry. General Gordon Granger had beey ihe colonel, but his promotion to the grade of brigadier general of volun- teers made a vacaney, and the governor of Michigan was cafled upon to make the n|)|n>|n!|nvu( to fill the vacancy, As the General Hawkins mentioned was for many s o citizen of Omaha, the statementus published in the Army and Navy Journal possesses an addi- nmmlmu-r st to his many friends in . we give the account in full as € between Sheri- dan’s experience in Oregon and his subsequent car isshown by the state- ment we receive from one of his clas mates at the academy, John P. Haw kins,brevet major general United States army, and late or general of volun- teers, mnow of the subsistence de- partmet, l nited States army. General < The Second Michigan u||l|n‘l‘ Colonel Gordon Gran- ;;( , joined the army of General Hal- leck before Corinth, soon after the bat- tle of Shiloh., It was a part of General Pope’s command that had just _accon plished the capture of ““Island No. 10, and was now brought from there to a sist at the capture of Corinth. anger then had knowledge that he had been appointed. or was soon to be appointed, a brigadicr general of volunteers, and was ther rase command of his regiment. wequainted me with the civeumstances and said that the appoin 1t of his successor was virtually in is hands, and that he wished to an ofticer of the vegular army to suc- ceed him, and asked me to take his > as colonel of the regiment when he ed. In answer I told him m, 'my experience had been almost_entirely & an infantry officer and that I would ‘not like to incur the responsibilities of a cavalry commander, but that a proper person for the Second Michigan would be Captain Sheridan, of the Thirteenth infante ing in the quarte master partment at Halleck's head- quarters. [told him what Iknew of Sheridan, that he had been in command of mounted troops in Orvegon, and as such had been mvnhnnwd in or l]cl& b General lantry. Soon . with Granger, Sheridan appointed colonel to succeed him, and there can be no question but that it was done agrecably to the recommendation and by the influence of Granger, and on account of Sheridan’s record in Oregon, as shown forth in General Orders No. 14.
