There were present old men who ha left their alma mater thirty-five years ago, and youngsters of the class of '$8, It was a most felicitous occasion, and one that will doubtlessly be long remembered by the participants. Those of the alumni present were Tsnac Adams E. W. Lee, 'SI; H. Scott, '83; S. M. Sadler, 'i4: Dana S, Lander, 'i%; George B. Ayers, Wilson, 813 M. Hitcheock, C. E. Yost, 3 H. B, Smith iy J. B.

Many were reminiscences of the alma mater tha were alled to mind, Grey haired men told of the escapades of their ¢ and seemed to find as much pleasure the p in playing the dupi 'S g ing their expericne as they had fifty y pranks, About 9:30 Dr. most hoartily received. He has be dent of the university for seventeen ye and a majority of those present had pas: their colloge days under his dircetion guidance, He scemed to remember them and greeted the graduates of many years ago a8 he did those who had 1eft him revently Dr. Angell is primarily o fatherly 100 ud with and exc and was n oresi Angell_arrived man. Short in stature ingly bald head and Yankee cut whiskers, he ~ reminds one much of pictures of Horace Greoley, He s a pleas ant and versatile conversationalist and found somethirg new to say to cachi of those with whom he shool hands It was half-past 10 o’clock when the asso- ciation sat down to the discussion of the elaborate banquet that had been prepared for the occasion. The consumption of this oceupied hour, After this the toasts of the evening were drank _and responded to. M. Casper E. Yost made an excel lent toast master for the occasion. Hon. Howard B. Smith, who presided, in- troduced Dr. Angell with these v s “We are met here this evemng, not as strangers, but_as friends, to recall old ac quaintances. We arc here to welcome one whom we all love, under whom the univer- sity has grown to its present grand dimen sions. I know you will all welcome him gladly, Dr. Angell.” The doctor said that as he came over the praivies of lowa he could mnot ut feel the sensation as of one crossing the ocean and going amongst strangers, but that this was quickly dispelled when he was erected at Council Bluffs by three ex-students of the univorsity, and as he looked about him now and saw so many familiar faces about him he felt almost as though he were back at the university. He thought tnat where one found the alumni there he would find the university. Even in China he had found the university represented, and hat when there he found himself so closely under the surveillance of ex-students as to be unable to misbenave himself if he had been so inclined. He often had thought upon Thanksgiving day how much he should like to drop in on all these ola graduates and have a chat with them; to talk with them of their joys and sorrows; their suceesses and failures. After relating a few ancedotes, the doetor passed to the subject of the changes in the university during the last ycar and then touched upon the elemicnts that had combined to achieve the success of the institution, in which he took occasion to pay high tribute to his predecessors, Among these he numbered the facts that the uni- versity had not wasted money in construet- ing superfluous buildings, but had expended such funds as had come into the hands of its management in procuring the best of instruc- tors; that the institution had been thrown open to young men of both sexes, and that it was emphatically a schiool for’ poor boys and girls, as wellas the rich. After ex- pressing the good wishes of his associates of the faculty, the doctor closed with a fow focling remarks, in_which he expressed his great pleasure in thus meeting so many of those who had pursued their collegiate studies under him. In the absence of Hon. John C. Watson, who had been assigned to the toast, *“The Transition from Freshman to Senior,” D. H. Mercer responded with a few well-told anee- dotes of s collegiate life. Prof. James McNaughton ously with the toast, “Evolution, What is 162" He indulged in' technical terms with- out number, and then declared that he knew dealt humor- nothing about it, but had reaa it in the books, and supposed that 1t was all right To college students it meant the adroit movement by which they were ablo to get through their studies or safcly over u rush on the campus. To theordinary man evolu tion meant the progress from the complex 1o the sunple, from the low to the high, Things a ting better he thought, and if tho world continues in the sume ratio of pro- gress o little while, a billion years, say, it may have so progressed as to develope the seventh sense which may be common sense. He closed with a tribute to the universi Judgze G. W. Ambrose responded to the toast, “The Model Judge.” He said he would have preferred to relate reminiscences of the Alma Mater, but in doing so he would be ne glecting his duty to his profession. There were ail sorts of judges and lots of them. In fact, it wus with judges something Jlike it was with colonels in Kentucky, After p ing upon the duties of the madel judge, the paker paid & glowmg tribute 1o Judge ‘ooloy, of the university, and nominated him for attorney gencral under President Harri son. “Ihe ‘Medics' " was responded to by Dr. L. A, Merviam. He spoke faelingly of the painful duties of the medical profession, und closed by thanking the alma mater for the work it has accomplished in advancing the science of medicine, ‘The response of Hon, J. H. Broady to the toast, “The Le Profession,” and of G. M, [ Hitclicock to *"The Press,” was_felicitous. In the absence of Hon, Charles 0. ‘Whedon, who was to have responded to a tonst to the absent, it was drank in silence. Dr. Duryea spoke earnestly of the duty of the citizen alumuus, closing with the words, “Let the college graduates of this city unite and sea that the city government is honestly sdiministered and that the city is morally clean.” A toast was drunk to the heaith of Dr. Angell and then the members of tho associa tion and the guests exchanged farewells and whearty God speads aud disporsed. » Would be a Loser. » Tho Union Stock Ya company is some what worked up over the Green bill regulat- fog stock yards in the state. “The estab- lshment of tne yards,” said a gentleman to- day, “with their conveniences for handling and shipping stock has revolutionized the live stock trade of the wesiern country and (bas made this the greatest market west of Chicago, bringing rs and sellers from ali sections of the country to this market.

Later the mittimus was cha S0 as to make the imprisonment for one du Mynster and Seabrook. the of Lindt, stormed around the court room, and finally sccured a writ of cortiovari, vansferring the case to th supreme court, and the prisoner was v leased, pending a postponed hearmgr. partners shortly after noon Mr. Lindt insti- tuted a Suit against ‘Squire Schurz in the supreme court for $10,.000 damages, for illegal imprisonment The interest in the case increases as the squire and the attorney arc broth- ers-in-law soeially as woll as profession- ally, The wife of the squire is a sister of "the attorney, and the case may be 1 the more spicy on account of the ¢ lationship. The law firm of Mynster, Lindt & Seabrook. which is so deeply interested in the e, alleges in the writ that ‘Squire Schurz insulted Lindt, and was in contempt of himself. They state that the court said: **You are a bull- dozer, und everybody knows it, and these gentlemen,” (pointing to the jury) “know it The statements of several witnesses regarding the matter sustains the 'squire. The case has oc- casioned several little jangles in court, one oceurring on Tuésday afternoon when Mr. Mynster beeame quite frisky and had to be suppressed by the justice by a threat to fine him. e The Cost of Contempt. In the district court yesterday morn- ing, Judge Thornell rendered his de- cision in the contempt oase against Henry Wagner. He found the defend- ant guilty and fined hir $800 and costs, to be committed until paid. His attor- ney gave notice of an appeal, but the court stated that it was one of those eases that did not allow of any appeal. The lawyer then stated that the prisoner had ample property, houses. lots, ete., to pay the fine, but Attorne. Sims, the attorney for the law and order league wing interposed an nh{m'limu s that the property was all in the name of the wife of the defendant, and ob- jected to his boing released. The priso- der stated that he would not pay it, and would go to jail, whereupon a deputy sheriff was ordercd to accompany him to his home to change his clothes, after which he was locked up. Waguner is another who found it dan- gevous and unprofitable to monkey with the prohibition buzz saw. He is at preseut confined in the county jail, where he will stay for 266 days il he refuses to pay his fine, but it seems to be the prevailing impres- sion thata few days will suftice and he vill come to time with the cash. His partner, Jerry Mey had his case continued until Saturday., when the examination of witnesses will be re- sumed. These cases excite an unusual amount of interest, and during the trial the court room was crowded. There are several other contempt cases 10 be tri this term, and the indications that there is a big chunk of grief in store for several partics. X e Nothing the Matter With Manawa. Hot? That does not begin to express the feelings of many Council Blufls folks, when they read the statements of Lewis S. Reed, concerning Lake Man- awa. Several of the statements, as pub- lished, were absurd, but the idea that they might mislead those who are not conversant with the facts, is what caused the indignation. Lake M wa has been for several seasons the pride of Council Bluffs, and the enjoyment of Omaha. Thousands of pleasure scekers have crowded thither during the heated season, and despite the comparative paucity of uc- commodations have managed to enjoy themselves hugel S0 much for the record so far made, As to the future. This season is open- ing with au ¢xpenditure of $12,000 for improvements to the 'ake and beaches, drives, ete., not counting the baildings planned for, Eighth street is to be paved to the city limits, and a fine gravel drive will extend from there to the lake. With motor trains a variety of casy ways are thus provided for those desiring to reach the Inke, and it is made equally accessi for Omaha, the distance from the heartof the great city being only about five miles, With the paved streets in both cities the drive is made delightful, and the motor sevice will be greatly bettered. he hotel is to be enla d to 125 rooms, and put under the managemoent of a fivst class hotel man. In fact the preparations are being made on so ex- tensive a seale as to insure for Lake Manawa the most brilliant season ever known Mr, Braslan, who represents the Minneapolis syndiente of capitalists, smiled as he read the statements of those who seem so anxious to kill Lake Manawa and boom Cut-off lake, *What is the use of such talk remarked. ‘At Lake Mananwa we a tine body of water, covering at least two square miles, and not filled with weeds and grass cither, [t isn't o mere duck pond, not a vesort for hur for pleasure seekers. Our Omaha friends will be able to reach it within thirty minutes. [ wish such ceritics Mr. Reed would take alook at Lake Manawa and see the improvements being made there.

Among them ave the aflidavits of Mrs, Alice Wilson, Bartram Zevely, Alico Maud Wilson, Robbie Wilson, Celia Cooper and oth The principal fo ture of these aflidavits is the denial of certain eharges made in the afidavits filed some time ago implicating M, Zevely, At that time the affidavits of Maudand Robbie Wilson were filed, and yesterday the afidavits of these same children sct forth that they were not aware of the contents of the previous papers that the signed, as what M. their fathe Mynster, au attorney for read to them was entirely different from what th afterwards found to be in the pap and they denicd the statements previously mpide. The afti- davits of several of the domesties of the Wilson household also appeaved.
