The Day in Falrmount Park—Whnero the Motor is Going—Saloon Oases in District Court— The Ohurches. What's ths Matter With a Fruit Show, Tan't it getting pretty nearly time for Council Bluffs to come to the front with some kind of a palace?” inquired a promi- nent wholesale merchant of this city yester- day. The scribe was of thaopinion that futurity was fast becoming less remote, and the gentleman who filled large orders with promptuess and dispatob, then resumed: "It rather seems to me that Council Bluffs has an opportunity now to distingnish herself, and she ought to make the most of it. Sioux City has h#r corn palace, Creston her blue grass palace, St. Paul her ice valace, and other places have the Lord knows what, but the Bluffs has nothing to advertise her abroad. There is a chunce now to build & fruit palace, palace of products or anything you want to call it, that would eclipse them Qll. Just think for a moment of the beauties of such a building, as compared with u plain wall of baled hay. We could build a palace that would just just knock the spots oft any- thing of the kind ever attempted, and it would advertise us from one end of the coun- ry to the other. *We have nearly 200,000 people right here at home, and seven lines of ralway termin- ating b ¥ plan would be to build it on some of the vacunt lots right along the motor line on Avenue A, 80 that passengers could be unloaded rightat the gate. I don't want any more of this transfer business, for it puts a damper on everything, For that rea- son, I would not be in favor of having it at the fair grounds, as that wouid bring that one-horse street car line into play, and that is nothing more nor less than a nuisatce. Folks get tired very quickly when you keep carting them around from pillar to post, and it is not at ull strange. Just have the palace where there they can gev to it easily, loo< through 1t and get out again. Notice the difference the motor line made to the Omaha fair last week. It completely shut off the string of express wagons, 'busses and all such nuisances that made life a burde: “For this reason, Isay put up the palace inthe eastern part of the city, and folks would visit 1t very frequently, to pass away an hour or two of an evening. We could have fireworks, flambeau clubs, parades and such things to keep the crowd here evenings, and there 1s not the slightest doubt but, that the thing would be a grand suceess. Potta- wattamie county can tura out an immense lot of fine products, und for fruit can not be excelled anywhere, There are plenty of peo- ple who would be glad to assis® in such an undertaking, and 1t could be made a grand success. 1f anything is to be done about it, though, it must be taken up atonce, and then there will be plenty of time to perfect some magnificent plans, I wish Tue Bee would just touch 1t up, und then we can see how the citizens feel about it. It could be worked in connection with excursions from the east, and it would beat any advertising schewe that has yet been thought of.” LSt i, Fine jewelry, watches and diamonds; cleaning and repairing at K. Burhorn’s, Who Is th A letter has been received by Wheeler & Herald, of the bottling works in this city, from Indio, San Diego couuty, Caiifornia, conveying the information that a man was found in the woods near there a few days ago in a starving condition, and that he died immediately after beiag brought in. He could not talk when found and there was no means of learning his name. The only pa- pers found upon his person were an envel- ope addressed to “Andrez Printz, Soda company, Council Bluffs’ and an account book ou the fly leaf of which was writtes “Please send me to Soda company, Council Bluffs, Andras Printz.” The man is de- scribed as being 5 feet, 7 inches bigh, hght complexion, and about thirty-five vears old. ‘There has beea no one of the name given or corresponding to the description of the dead man who has ever worked at the bot- tling establishment in this city, It is qaite evident, however, that the unfortunate mas once lived either in this city or Owmaha, and perhaps has relatives here. “The supposition is that he had wandered mto the woods and got lost and died a linger- ing deuth by starvation, as he was terribly emaciated when found. Any information concerning him can be sent to P. H. Gaie, Indio, San Diego county, California. In Fairmount's Shade. Owing to a general misunderstanding, there was no band concert at Fairmount park yesterday afternoon, It was the in- tention of the park commissioners and of the electric motor company to have had a con- cert similar to the one a week ago, and it was supposed that arrangements had been mude with Dalby’s band, but the band failed to put in an appearance. It is quite proba- ble that a concert will be given some after- noon during the week to malke up for it, us it has been decided to have a concert thore every week during the remainder of the (all, and us long as pleasant weather continues. Arrangements will also be made to have a concert every Sunday afterncon and on one other ufternoon during the week all of next summer, beginning as soon as the season opens, as 1t has been demonstrated that it is notonly u pleasing feature, but & paying in- vestment as well. “Phe number who visited the” park yestor- day was very fair, considering the fact that the day was quite cool, and there was no special attraction. The stub motor _ trains running to the park were very well bpatronized, every car carrying a good number of passen- gers. Several little picnic parties took their lunches along aud passed the greater part of the day, To show how rapidly the popular. ity of the park 18 mcreasing and how strong are its attractions, it may bo stated that not a duy of the last week passed, notwithstand: ing the unusual and varied attructions of Merchunts' week, that oae or more good sized pienic parties did not come over from Omaha to spend a few hours in the park, It 18 evident that the motor company fully realizes what an centive the park will be to increased travel over thewr line, and they are preparing to add to 1s attractions as much_as "possible, Their efforts will bo heartily seconded by the park commission- ers, and the goneral public will not be Alow to appreciate it us well us to also iend a helping hand. e ectric Sparks. “1f any company beats this for track lay- ing, I want to know what company it is,” remurked Superiotendent Reyuolds, of the electric motor line, yesterday ufternoon, as he rode along Pearl street, inspecting the work of the previous week. **We began here lust Monday and in six days bave torn up six blocks of paviug, taken up the old street car track, iaid our new double track for the whole distance and replaced two blocks of the paving iu better condition thau it was be- fore. 1stopped work at the lower end day noon, in order to give the pavers a little time to cateh up, as I don’t want to have too much of the street torn up at once, but I doo't think we can be censured for the length of time we obstruct the street. In Omaba they keep the streets torn up for a month. but e cut it down to a week. How far will the double track extend! Well, about to Tenth or Eleveuth avenue.

Business in district gourt for the past week has not been particularly brisk; in fact, it has been dificult to get the uttorneys intorestod in the cases set for trial to attend and look after the interests of their clionts. None seemed anxious to push their cases, and there has n a geuneral request fo continuances. Ior this reason a whole day’s assignment was frequently disposed of be- fore noon, and an adjournment would result until the next morning. A few divorce cases were tried, but they were all very one.sided, the defendant generally failing to put in an appearance and the decree would be granted by the court. The majority of cases were those ugainst the saloons, and several tem- porary injunctions were granted. The con- test between Attorneys Sims und Boulton over these cascs has furnished considerable amusement for the spectators who haunt the court room. The latter gentleman has not thus far met with the most gratifying suc- cess, still he remains hopeful, und pro- fesses to be quite well satistied with the ways ufairs are shaping themselves. Under quite discouraging circumstances he has preserved remarkable equanimity, and on only one occasion did he lose his temper, when several decisions went against nbim, and 1ntimated that but tor a little appurent partiality evinced by the court for the other side of the saloon prosecution, he might stand a better show of carrying his point. The court very promptly stated that such in- uations were uncalled for, and added with much dignity that the court was not there for that purpose, and would not make Atself a party to further any such ends. Up to the present tume, however, Boulton has not made very rapid progress with his cases. Sioce the court intimated that he did ot know when to bring his cases into court, nor what to do with them after getting them there, he has dropped almost entirely out of sight, and is falling into innocuous desue- tuae, as it were, Few have discussed Boul- ton’s motives, although there ure those who do not hesitate to accuse him of insincerity, even as he brings the same charge againsp Sims, but for some reason the entire bar seems to take delight in throwing in his way all the obstructions possible. It is a noticeable fact that while Boulton was hopelessly wrangling over the prece- dence of c: , Sims was quietly securing in- junction after iajunction, and carried his point in all the cases. The principal fight was over tho closing of the saloon at the Mint. A permanent injunction was sought, and in the case, Colonel W. F. Sapp for the defense, urged that the owner of the prop- erty was not present, and in fact had never been in the city. Long and exhaustive argu- ments were made by the attorneys on both sides, and the case was finally submitted to the court, who has taken the matter under advisement. Judge Macy has the equity business in very good shape, and by the end of this week, which closes the time allotted to the equity calendar, he will huve it more nearly cleaved up than it has been for years. Next week the petit jury will report for duty, and the trial of law cases will occupy the court's at- tention for the ensuing three weeks, e S Lo, 1 Am With You Alway. The Rev. Dr. Gillette, the able superin- tendent of Chatauqua instruction, occupied the pulpit at the Broadway Methodist church at the morning hour yesterday. Not only the pews in the auditorium were filled, but the aisles were taken by closely packed chairs and ull tae available space between the stairways ana vestibule was occupied by people sitting und standing, eager to see and hear the eloquent speaker. And they were well repaid for any shght personal discom- fort induced by tne crowd, for Dr. Gillette delivered a most eloquent sermon, founded upon the words of Christ as Ho stood upon the Mount of Olives after the completion of His work: “Lo, I am with you alway, &en unto the end of the world.” The words were spoken to the disciples by the Master, but they were spoken to every other foliower at that time and to every human soul thence- forward to the end of the world. They may have been words of exaltation as He looked down the conquering ages to the ninetcenth century and beheld the trinmph of His word. They were words of encouragement as He beheld the sorrows and embarrassments of His followers, the horrible persecutions, the auto de fes, the taunt, the misery, she shroud of gloom, and bitter anguish, and the night of despair that was ages in length. They were words of inspiration. Men have tried to paint the thoughts that surged through the brain of a conauerer in the hour o1 his triumph. The speaker de- scribed in graphic language the picture of the charge of the old guard at Waterloo. The artist had caugnt the scene as the ad- vance rushed by the great Napoleon and fixed on his face the confident expression of the conqueror, and so the painter might have fixed that expression on the face of the con- quering Christ, Has tho prophecy that Christ is with us always been fulfilled! There is no fact of history that stands forth so clearly authenti- cated as Jesus' Lfe and death. Thut he lived 1,900 years ago is as certain as that you and I ive this day. You can mark out the itinery of his work. The landn which he lived has been studied as no other spot on earth has been studied. [t is but a small area, but twenty to sixty milos across and less than 200 miles long, but every spot of it has been painted and photographed until the sectional pictures would make & complete panorama of itssurface, und 5o man can tell the number of books that have been written about it. But yet were it not for Jesus of Nuzareth, Palestine would be nothing wmore 10 us than Greece. Nay, less, for the Hebrew literature gives us nothiug ke Greece. The little Palestine is rezarded because God set against it the greatestlife of the world, No man has sat for his likeness like Jesus, and every master of thebrush for the past 1500 years has essayed to paint it as bis mastor- piece. The ideal Christ is stamped on the mirds of the little children of Lalf the world, He molds aud controls the musio and poetry of the times, and His spirit breatues us a living force [n every grand schievement d every progress of the uge. You can con- siderthe prophecy fulfilled, because Josus lives ip the spirit of this age. There are those who say the world is growing grosser and more corrupt, 2nd that wickedness and increasing corruption are sapping the vitals of society. For my part I prefer to look far to the other side, Kverywhere and in every- thing we feel the pulsations of the mighty mau of 1500 years 8go. Two eanturies ago it was not s0. To-day o write on anything, it is unchristian,” is to brand 1t with infamy and send 1t biok to obscurity. There never was & time when society so earuestly de- manded the welfare of ail as now. There never was a time when corporations cared for thewr men as now. Cowmpare the millions who toil to-day with the myriads who were crushed beneath the burdens the Pharohs laid upon them when the pyramids were built. The Kospel of Jesus Christ has a hold upon this great country of ou He is a conquerer in every chamber of commerce aud board of trade and io the directors’ room of every corporation, and a living force in every council in the nations of earth, He lives in the embediment of the spirit of progress of our times.

A man had com- mitted some great crime and his fellows, governed for the moment by benst passions that struggle for the mastery, were about to lynch him, The robe was over the limb and tho cap was over his face, and eager hands wero clutching the other end of the strangling haiter. Suddenly the leader ordered the cap removed from his face, and going to the trembling wretch placed a revolver to his fuce and cried: “You have never prayed in all your worthless life, and now you've got to pray for one moment.” The only prayer the doomed man knew was that which Jesus taught, but which had not crossed his lips sinca childhood, and hie began to repeat it with the energy of despair. As he came to that portion which says “‘forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those that tresspass agaiust us,” ho struggled to raise his manacled hands in supplication to heaven, and with streaming eyes fixed above uttered the words with such awful pathos that his selt-appointed executioners strunk back one by one, and the leader’s pistol fell to his side. The spirit of Christ was there as a hving force, and his prayer on that murderer's lips was a sermon from Calvary itself to those desporato men. Christ is with you, my fellowmen, and He is with you always, even to the end of the world. Atbo'clockin the afternoon Dr. Gillette met the young men of the congregation in the parlors of the church and gave a very pleasing and instructive talk. THE CHEYENNES, An Artist Presents His ldeaw of the Indian Problem, Tn ‘““‘Artist Wanderings Among the Cheyennes,” in the Century, Mr. Fred- erick Remington speaks of the so-called “‘Indian Problem™ as follows: “I know that corn cannot be raised on this reser- ion with sufficient regulavity to war- rant the attempt. The rainfall is not enoughi and where white men despair, 1, for one, do not expect wild Indians to continue. They havetried it and failed and are very properly discouraged. Stock-raising is the natural industry of the country, and that is the proper pur- suit of these people. They are only now recovering by natural increase from the reverses which thoey suf 1n their last outbreak. It is he them to start cattle herds, as their ra- tions are insufficient and one can scarce- 1y expect a man to herd cattle when he needs the beef to appease his hunger. Nevertheless, some men have respect- able herds and can afford to kill un ani- mal occasionally without taking the stock cattle. In this particular they display wonderful forbearance, and were they properly rationed for a time and given stock cattle, there is not a doubt butin time they would become self-sup- porting. The present scheme of taking a few boys and givls away from the camps to put them in school where they are taught English, morals and trades, has nothing reprehensible about it, ex- cept t isabsolutely of no consequence 80 far as solving the Indian problem is concerned. The few boys return to the camps with their Enghsh their school clothes, &nd their short hair. They know a trade also, but_have no oppor- tunity to be employed in it. They loat about the forts for a time with nothing to do, and the white men talk pigeon English to them, and the wild Indians sneer at them. ' Their virtues are un- appreciated, and, asa natural conse- quence, the thousands of years of bar- barism which is bred in their nature overcome the three little seasons of school training. They go to the camps, go back to the blanket, let their hair grow, and forget their English. In a year one cannot tell a school boy from any other little savage,and in the whole proceeding I see nothing atall strange. “The camp will not rise to the school boy, and so Mahomet goes to the moun- tain. _[f it comes to pass that the white race desires to aid these lndians to be- come a bart of our social systemn instead of slowly crushing them out of it, there is only one way to do it. The so-called 1 ndian problem is no problem at all in reality, only that it hus been made one by a long succession of acts which were y in their imbecility and were fostered by political ayarice. The sen- timent of this nation is in favor of no longer regarding the aborigines of this country as a conquered race; and except that the —great body of our citizens are apathetic of things so remote as these wards of the government. the people who have the administration of their destinies would be called to accovnt. No one di- rectly interested ever guestioned that the Indian department should have been attached to the war department; but that is too patent a fact to discuss- Now the Indian affairs ave in so hope. less n_state of dry rot that practical men, in political or military circles, hesitate to attempt the role of reform: ers. The views which I have on the subject are not original, but are very old and very well understood by all men who live in the Indian countries. They are current among army officers who have spent their whole lives on the In- dian frontier of the far west, but are not often spoken, because all men realize the impotency of any attempt to overcome the active work of certain political circles backed by public apathy and a lot of theoretical Iadian regene- rators. If anything is done to relieve the condition of the Indian tribes it must be & scheme which begins at the bottom and takes the ‘whole outfit,” as a western man would say, in its scope. If these measures of relief are at all tardy, before we realize it the wild Indian tribes will be, us some writer has said, ‘loafers and outcasts contending with the dogs for kitechen scraps in western villages.” They have all raised stock successfully when not interfered with o not for: by insufficient rations to ent up their stock cattie to appense their hunger, and I have never heard that Indians were not made of soldier stuff. A great many western garrisons have their corps of Indiun scouts. In every cose they proveeflicient. They are nat- urally the finestirregular cavalry on the face of this globe,and with an organiza- tion similar to the Russian cossacks they would do the United States great good and become themselves gradually civilized, Anirregularcavalry isevery year a more andl more important branch of the service, Any good cavalry officer, 1 believe, could’ take command of In- dians and ride around the world without having a piece of bacon, or a cartridge, or a horse issued by his government. So far as effective police work in the west is concerned, the corps of Indian scouts do nearly all of that service now. They all like to be enlisted into the ser- vice, universally obey orders, and are never disloyal.” e —— This Beats Pike's Peak. Visitors at the Pike's Peak observa- tory have for years been regaled with the statement that “‘this is the highest point on the globe which is inhabited the year round.” It now appears that reular meteorological observations are made on the Andes, in Peru, at a hight of 14,800 feet, which is about two hun- dred feet higher than the Pike's Peak station. In Burope there are but two stations at any considerable hignt,these being about ten thousand and eleven thousand feet respectively. RUSSIA'S OFFICIAL TYRANNY. Oolonel Kononoviteh Was Prosconted For His Kindness to a Prisoner. %‘gr ‘e Kennan, in his illustrated ac- count of MState Criminals at the Kara Mines,” in.the midsummer Century, says: ‘I regret o have to say that ho was virtually driver outof Siberia by the worst and most corrupt class of Rus- sinn bereaucratic officinle,. He was called ‘weak’ and ‘sentimental;’ he was accused of being a ‘socialist;’ he was said to be in sympathy with the views of the political convicts; and the Isprav- nik of Nerchinsk openly boasted, in the official club of that city, that he would yet ‘send Colonel Kononoviteh to . the province ef Yakutsk with a yellow dia- mond on his back.” How ready even high officers of the Siberian adminis- tration were to entertain the most trivial charges against him may be in- ferred from the following anccdote: During the last year of his service at Kara there came to the mines a politi cal conviet, hardly oat of his teens, named Bibikoff (Bee-bee-koff). As a consequence of long-continued suffering and ill-treatment on the road, this young man was as wild, suspicious, and savage as a trapped wolf. He seemed to regard all the world as his ene- mies, and glared at every officer as if he expected a blow, was half afraid of 1t, but was prepared to die fighting. Colonel Kononovich received him cour- teously and kindly; sent the wife of one of the political exiles to him with clean fresh underclothing; attended generally to his physical needs,and finally said to him, ‘Remember that nobody here will insult you or ill-treat you.” The young convict was greatly surprised by such a reception, and in a letter that he subse- quently wrote to a friend in European Russia he said, ‘T am glad to know from the little acquaintance I have had with Kononovich, that a Russian colonel is not necessarily a beast.” This letter fell into the hauds of the police in European Russia,wus forwarded through the ministry of the interior to General Ilyashevich (Ill-yah-shy-vich), the gov- ernor of the Trans-Baikal, and was sent by that officer to Colonel Kononovich with a request for an ‘explanation.’ It seemed to be regarded as documentary evidence that the governor of the Kara prison was on suspiciously friendly terms with the political convie's. Kononovich paid no attention to the communication. Some months luter he happened to visi¢ China on busi- ness, and Governor Ilyashevich, in the course of a _conversation about other matters, said to him: ‘By the way, Colonel Kononovich, you have never answered a lotter that T wrote you usk- g for an explanation of something said about you in a letter from one of the political conviets in your command. Did you receive ity “Yes” replied ceived it; but what did you look for? What explanation could [ give? Did you expect me to ex- cuse myself because somebody regarded me as a human being and not a beast? Was I tosay that the writer of the let- ter was mistaken in supposing me to be a Muman being—that in reality I was a beast, and thut I had never given him or anybody else reason to suppose that a Russian colonel could be a human being **This presentation of the case rather confused the governor, who said that the demand for an explanation had been written by his assistant; that it had been stupidly expressed, and that after all the matter was not of rauch consequence. He then dropped the subjec i e iy Hid Her Monev in the Cemetery. A suit to settle the ownership of $300 found in a holiow stump in an Erie cem- etery in May last by boys who were chasing a chipmunk has been heard by Alderman Colo, of that city. Mrs. Ber- ringer claims that the money belonged to her mother, who once said she had put it where bankers and thieves could not make way with it—for it was about the time of the failure of the Erie coun- ty savings bank. ety OB B The Teeth Frightened Rim, A Philadelphia drummer got into a Lehigh Valley car at Shenandoah, Pa., and took out his teeth and put them on the seat behina him to tuke a nap. After the nap he went off, forgetting them. Agent Ferguson found them, them, and, as a joke, asked a Hungar- ian scated near if they were his. The Hungarian turned pale as death, vigor- ously shook his head and dashed out of the depot in thorough fright. e S A s Deserted Scandinavian Villages. A curious exploration is now being undertaien in a vast region of Scandi- navia, which has practically run wild for nearly a hundred years, when whole villages, as well as homesteads and farms, were deserted on account of an epidemic. The tract has been bought by a London syndicate, who have com- missioned Sir H. Pottinger, one of the poneers of Norwegian travel, and J. Sargent, the well-known Oxford “coach,” to report upon this almost for- gotten territor, Kononovich, ‘I re- kiud of an answer The Last of the Seneoas, A remnant of the Seneca tribe of In- dians still lingers in Wurren county, Penn., spearing fish, ete., for a living.
