The Omaha Lumber company, the Baum iron works, Buresh & Letovsky, andJ. Bonner, furniture dealer, made a creditable display. DECORATIONS, Bright and Briltiant Colors Floating in the Breeze. The decorations wore profuse from a gen- oral view. That on the bridge was os- pecially beautifal, At the Omaha entrance was a large banner bearing the inscription, ““Council Bluffs Welcomes Omaha,” and. a bauner welcoming Council Bluffs was swung 10 the brecze from the east end of the strae- ture. In the center of the bridge, suspended over the scene of the dedicatory exercises wasa large circle composed of sprigs and foliage. 1t was made to represent a ring, and on tl circular background the following motto stood out in bold but expressive let- le Sister Cities Jointly Wedded yv.” The docorations made in the trades display were magnificent and were a source of groat uttraction. All the important commercial institutions in the city were bedecked with flags, flowers and ban- ners. The Millard was' hung with large festoons of colorou material, while from the Paxton and a number of the principal business houses, the decoration was in keep- ing with the day and tho occasion. So accustomed has Omaha become to cele- brations of a gigantic aature that the morn- ing hours gave but little evidence of the in- portant event. of the day, and a stranger would have noticed nothing unusual in tho busy crowds that thronged the streets. noon avproached, however, there was & transformation scene, that in quickness would rival the work of accomplished thea- trical workmen, Iunting floated gaily frou the housetops, festooned the windows, and hid the pillars of the leading buildings, and the stringers and supports of the new bridge were 1oy to sight n the folds of the national Rag that draped them. Each incoming train added 10 the crowds of sight-seers, and furnished victims to the ever-present strect-fakir and mock uction me, while the hotels and ros- tharants, wers clowdd, o their utmost ca- pacity. showed that all the neighboring states wero well represeated, but that, as might ave been expocted, the guests from Iowa and Nebraska outnumbered the others two to one. ‘The March Ends. At 5:30 the Omaha contingent returned to thisside. The military marched up Douglas strect to Fifteenth and the different com- panies left the line for their armories. At Thirteenth strect the carriages unloaded uheir occupants, and at the streets crossing Douglas the floats sought the ncarest routes home to stable their horses. At the last had reached the Omuha side and the big procession was a thine of the past. Through- out the early hours of the evening the strects were packed wiih promenaders, the play- houses were filled with amusement seekers, and the sound of revelry was heard on all sides. It wus a fitting windup of the twin cities' big bridge day. It is stated that 567 teams croased the bridge in the procession. ———— THE PRIZE DRILL. The Omaha Guards Win the Bridge Trophy. The evening was devoted to the competi- tivedrill of the rival militia companies for the bridge trophy, and four companies of troops were required to keep Capitol avenue clear between Thirteenth and Fourteenth strects, to give them sufficient room for manouvering. The crowd was immense but it was good-natured, and willingly moved back as requested. The collapse of a small platform was the only thing that momen- tarilly stopped the ‘“guying” indulged in, but as no one was hurt, it was speedily re: sumed. Standing room was at & premium, and every available spot was secured by the sight-seers, some ladios even climbing a ladder to the roof of the Grand opera house in order to catch more than a passing glimpse of the “boys in blue” When all was in readiness, the Dodge guards from Council Bluffs were first on the_ground, and at once won well deserved applause by the excel- lence of their marching and the precision with which they went through the manual. The Omaba guards followed them, and in & few moments the spectators had forgotten the excellence of their predecessors, In° watahing the Brillizacy and scouracs of the home company. For “neatness and di patch” their movements could not be ex- celled, and whon it was known that they had gained the trophy there was a umversal feel- ing that it had been fairly and honestly won. The dificult task of deciding on the merits of the respective companies was left to Lieu- tenant Turner, U, S. A., and to say that his decisions met ' with universal approval is & sufficient guaraatee that he performed his duty faithfully and without fayor. Major Clarkson, as master of ceremonies, then in- vited the spectators to the Grand opera house, where @ free concert was given by the Musical Union orchestra, and a detach- ment of the guards again went through the manual and firing exercises. Before the close Max Meyer announced the winning companies as follows, the Towa corpanies taking all the prizes for soldierly bearing and appearance, while on the march: Bridge trophy, won by the Omaha Guards, Captain A. H. Scarfl. Iirst prize—Cash $100, won by company E, Shenandoab, Ia,, Captain C. V, Mount. Second prize—$70, won by company C, Glenwood, Ia., Captain H. Byers. Third prize—§30, won by company B, Ba- liska, Ia., Captain . H. Vest. Fourth' prize—50, won by company —, Greenfield, Ia., Captain R. G. Gate ‘Phe only thing that at all went to mar the procecdings was that through an oversight of some kind, no one was present to extend a welcome to the Iowa visitors and they were left for hours sitting on the sidewalk without rations of euy kind. This after a long and dusty march, with a prospective drill before them was' enough to dampen their ardor, and rendered much more credit- able the excellent showing they made.

The Mask Torn Off 1 Copyriaht 1858 by James Gordom Bennett.] Panis, Oct New York Herald —Spectal to The Be Another failure must be added to the long list of unhappy unions of European titles and American dol- lars, To-night Paris 18 talking about the sudden termination of the honeymoon of the Count and Countess de Montecarle nee Miss inia Knox. Their marringe was cele brated about a fortnight ago in Pittsburg with great eclat. The bridegroom arrived in Paris last Sunday, and engaged rooms at the Hotel Bellevie preparatory to continuing the journey to a castle which the count said his mother had on the Adriatic, It was appar- ent the bride was not hap, rly Monday morning the cuests were aroused by shrieks from the countess’ chamber followed by cries for help. The guests deessed hastily and ran into the corridors. The manager of the hotel burst open the door and found the countess struggling with the brutal husband, her bair dishevelled, her night dress torn and her body bruised. The count released his victim who rushed to the mauager cry- ing bescechingly. *‘Save me from hun. Turn him out of thé hotel. He has got no money. He can't pay you, Turn him out." The count protested against the interfer- ence and attempted to pull his wife back, whereupon she gave him a stinging blow in the face with her clenched fist. He tried to return the blow but was prevented by the manager and male guests, The unfortunate bride told the manager she had been thor- oughly deceived in her husband, She be- licved him a man of means but learnt too late not only that he was penniless but that he was an inhuman brut At first she supplied him liberally with money but nothing scemed to satisfy him. When she refused to give him more he commenced beating her. The manager told the couple he could not allow his guests to be disturbed ; that they must leave the hotel im- medtely. The unfortunate wife, who deeply felt the disgrace, burst into tears and vleaded to be allowed to remain, but the manager inexorable aud they were obliged to leave. They took the early train for Italy. LUXURIOUS LIVES, How the Americans Obtained Their Influence Over Wurtemburg's King. (Capyright 1835 by Jam?s Gordon Bennett.] SturTaArt, Oct. 30.— w York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Bi ~The Herald's dispatches from Munic! ce and New York regarding the scandal about the king of Wustemburg and his American friends have created a great deal of excitoment here. No paper published 1n this city has, however, dared tosay a word upon the subject. The council of ministers has ordered proceedings agaivst the Mun Neuste Nachrochten for its publication concerning his majest favorites. If it comes to trial interesting de- velopments may be looked for. Jackson's appointment in 1851 created at the time great comment but had come to be an ac- ceme i feot and would never have been re wived now but for the Woodcock and Hendry affair. Jackson renounced his American cit- izenship and became a Wurtemburger. Im- mediately on entering the king's service he was appointed at first vorlesser or reader and afterwards privy counselor. The only complaint the people make against Jackson is his supreme selfishuess. His contract with the king is reported to be such that in any event he is liberally provided for. Rumor ~ says that it was through en- deavoring to - dissuade his majesty from signing this contract that Herr wvon Gunsert got inito hot water but the king signed and Jackson is happy. - Shortly after Jackson's appointment the Rev. Charles B. Woodeock and his inseparable Donald Hendry appeared there. Rumor says Wood- cock was formerly chorister and later assi: ant rector in & New York church. He came kere ostensibly to work for some New York publishers and lodged in Schloss strasse at Fraulein Zollers, whose brother Hefrath is employed as editor by Carl Hall- berger, the recent purchaser of the house ‘where Woodcock and Hendry are now installed. In 1882, while Jackson's appointment was still frash in the people’s minds, the then British mnister here, Mr. Gould, who has since died, met Woodcock at & dinner party at the house of an American family named Burrows, then residing bere in Goethe strasse, and was so pleased with him that he afterwards remarked if the king wanted to appoint an Americau why dida't he chose Woodcock? Now Mr. Gould, being a man of the world and a bon viveur, was much liked at court and it is not impossible that his remari reached the king's ears and frst brought Woodcock to royal notice. In the early winter of 1883 Woodcock left here ostensibly for throat treatment in Paris, but afterward he and Hendry turned up at Nice and were installed in the villa as his majes- ty's guests. It is stated that the Dill for their entertamment awounted to 10,000 francs. When the courtereturned to Friederichs- haven, the king’s summer residence on Lake Coustance, they were installed in a handsome villa just outside the walls, their weals be- ing brought them from the castle by royal flunkies. Jackson meanwhile still basked in the royal favor, being one of the small inner circle who daily dined at their majesty's table. He also had his princely suite of seven rooms here in that part of the palace known as the m ie tho formerly famous Carls hule, where Schiller and Schubert were once pupils, As it now became necessary to find proper quarters for the two new favorites the house Neckarstrasse was hired and 40,000 marks, on dit, were expended in fitting up its interior luxuriously. The owner, an 0ld lady named Pistorius, au archive keeper's widow, living on the parterre, has since sold it out to Publisher Carl Hallberger, now re- siding here, but who formerly pub- lished & paper at New York. It is said that he receives 8,000 marks rent for it per sunum, The rear of this building opens on the royal park, and rows of gas lights have been placed along the path leading from the palace to the botan- ical garden, whence a private entrance leads into the Woodcock mansion, I am in- clined to think the accounts of spiritual seances held there have been somewhat ex- aggerated, but no loyal subject of Wurtem- burg could quietly submit to the thought that lis sovereign was playing at hypnotics with anyone, much less @ foreigner without means. Protests are not wanting, but they imperil him who dares offer them aloud. Herr von Mittnacht, minister of the royal house, whose position has hitherto been rogarded as impregnable, j» said to be in danger on this account.

The feeling is not only here but throughout Wurtemburg ana is aggravated by Woodcock's receut ap. poititment to the title of Freilierr von Sav- age. It is understood that to ronder pos: sible his accoptance of this title he has re- contly applied to tho United States coustlate hore to ascertain what steps are neessary to renounce his American citizenship. In regard to Hendry: little is said or knowa. He is genorally belfeved to be a Canadian and is of gentle, quict manners, as indead is Woodcook, whose appearance and mouners would never suggest an impostor or an ad venturer. The latter is a fine singer and is said at one time so to have charmed his majesty with an air from Mephistopheles as to suggest the mounting and production of that opera at great cost on the court opera houso stage here. Nor is Jackson lacking in accomplishments, - either. He speaks English,German and Freneh, isa fine panist, a capital chess player and a good whist player, besides being a very companionable fellow. T knew that Mr. Catlin, who was United States consul here wlhen Jackson was appointed into the king's service, has always stated thut he paried with him with regrot. Nearly every continental monarch, except the German emperor, has decorated Jackson and the pope received him as well. He has friends here who enjoyed the’ Herald's Mu nich correspondent’s allusion to him as a dentist. The American court dentist here is Dr. Klein, of Indianapolis, which probably led to the error. The story of the cosch and four, carrying Jackson away to the Palace a 1a Cendrillon, is also somewhat overdrawn. His appointment was made out in rogular business form shortly after the king's return from Riviera in 1581, and the removal of his bageage from his former lodgines to his new quarters in the palace by the court wagons and ser- vants forms the basis for the romance. What causes the most reflection to thinking minds is the fact that this affair 18 ventilated so s00n after the German emperor’s visit to Stuttgart. The political feature of this affair, if it has any, may not prove itself the least interesting one. An American's Attempted Suicide.

From the time of Washington to that of Lincolu all the presidents, with the exception of two, were clean-shaven.

Lincoln, Grant, Hayes and Garfield wore full beards. while their defeated adversaries, Mc- Clellan, Seymour, Greeley, Tilden and Hancock, had clean-shaven chi Erom the earlicst times beards have been symbolic of strength, power and wisdom.
