Something About the Elaborate Ap: pointment of This Palatial Hos tlery — Its Owners and the Management at Present. Quietly and with no more ostentation than the spring is making in its advent, the doors of the new Grand hotel have been thrown open to the publiz and the entertainment of guests begun, Aithough oaly the briefest mention of the fact had been made in the newspapers the traveling public quickly les ed of the fact and the two or three pages of the register daily consumed attest the pop- ularity the great hostelry has attained even in the first stages of its ex- istance, And well it might, for there s no more imposmg uotel edifico anywhere, No summer resort hotel in the United States has a more attractive location. Standing on the* corner of Pearl streot and First avenue its sev, of stone and brick tower above all adjoming buildings, and facing Bayliss park its winaows look out upon the most Celicious little bit of emerald that weary eyes can hope to find. From the basement to the copper covered domes thet is not a window the sunshine will not pene- trate, therc is not adark place where a gloomy shadow can find a hiding place, and a guest must have something mobe than poor digestion and ordinary il health who does not feel the benign influence of the place. No hotel could have a more p easant wituation, Surrounded by clean paved streets, within u block of all the banks, postofice, court house, and in the center of business, yet its location on the avenue with 150 feet froutage on the park, removes it from the dust of the city. The external ap- pearance is very impressive. It is modern in every respect and readily suggests where the architects found means of placing $250,- 000 worth of material aad labor. The first two stories are of rough sandstone with cut edges and the remain- ing five chipped pressed brick. fivst floor, and above its an open’ court, which lies light and air to all of the interior rooms, Tmposing and beautiful as the exterior is it is only when yon pass under the heavy carved stone portals that you realize more fully the justico of the claim that Council Bluffs has in the new Grand the finest hotel in the Missouri valley, and one that meets the requirements of a first class hostlery as fully as the best in the world The oftice is reached from entrances on both Pearl street and the avenue, and it is as complete and perfect as avchitéctural skill and unlimited mouey can make it. The en- trances are tiled in mosaics of designs and the floor of the office und rea room is covered with handsome tiling. The walls are protected with highly polished marble wains- coating of light color, with a heavier and darker hued base. 'This is of uniform height, with the clerl’s desk, which is composed of the same kind of marble. The same ex- pensive and elaborate character, of ornamentation is carried through the reading room, the wash room and the closets, where everything, except the seats and tho plumbing, is muarble. Guests who have visited all th.e finest hotels in the country ungualifiedly pronounce tho office 10 be the equal of anything in the western cities. In daytime it is lighted by the soft light that streams through the ground glass dome that covers it, and ut night 100 incay descent electric lights leave no place for u shadow. ~ Every appointment for the comfort and convenience of the guests has been provided, news- stands, cigar stands, cloak rooms, check stands, telegraph oftice, carriage oftice, mes- senger service and every meaus for meeting the requirements of any guest. Two rapid passenger elevators of the mostapproved pat- Torn, iny addition o the marble and iron stair- way, lead to the upper floors. The elec- tric’ enunciators are of the_same pattern as those in the Hoffman house, New York, and the guest ih room 717, the highest num- bered room in the house, is in as close com- municatipn with the offices us the occupant of parlor A or the lounger in one of the chairs on the marble floor of the office. Buck of the oftice is the freight elevator, which stands beside the door openiug into the covered al- leyway, where all baggage and freight is de- livered. - The upper floors are fully up to the stand- ard of clegance and beauty that enriches the oftice. The wood work throughout is finished in the natural state, and is all oak, walnut, butternut, cherry and ash. The parlors are located on' the second floor in the south and castside of the building. They are modeis of beauty, yuietly but richly furnished, sepa- rate and numbered A, Band C. In each the woodwork and furnishings mateh, In parlor A the furniture is enameled with white and gold, incluaing a magnificent Hardman piano that was built espocially for the place it ovou- pics. o PYX1 tho rooms on the second. floor, except those opeuiug into the court, are ensuite, each provided with bath, reception room and bed chamber.

The wall ornamentation throughout the entire building is rich and chaste. The diniug room is # graud upartment on the seventh floor, occupying the southeast corner of the building. e ceiling is twenty- five feet high. Massive windows reach to the top. Marble wainscoating, marble tiled floor, massive and claborately carved side- boards, the finest sixteenth century oaken tables and leather upholstered chairs and solid silver table service and fine chinaware complete the clegance and leave nothing for the objection of the most fastedious. Adjoin- ing the dining room and. covered with the softest Wilton carpets are the ladies' first ana second ordinaries, where the table sery- ico is elaborate and rich. The kitchen and store rooms are on the seventh floor in tho northwest part of the building, and no smell of cooking food can reach the dining rooms orany guest chamber, The notel has veen nearly one and a half years in process of constrnction. It is built the most substantial and perfect manner, carrying out every approved idea of hotel perfection. It is amonument toits builders, Messrs. Kimball and Champ, and a matter of more than iocal pride to the city. ~ After the notel was nearly completed it was necessary 1o place it v first class hands. Theve were many eagar applicants for it, buv it was fi- nally leased to Cragin & Co., who are opper- uting somo of the filost hotels in tho south, notably the Caldwell, a §00,000 hostelry in Birminghum, Ala, and the Avmstrong, at Rome, Ga, In fur: nishing the splenaid new building they have spared no expeuse. One Grand Rapids, Mich., furniture factory was given s contract for £11,000 worth of furmture. All the other furnishings that could bo purchased from the Council Bluffs and Omaha wholesale houses were obtained here. The two or three days the hotel has been open for the re- coption of guests has demonstrated the tuct that the service is par excellence from theoftice to the kitchen, - The oMcial corps is centiemen of culture and aftivil Mr, T, C. Stanley has charge of the fiice in the day time, and Mr. James T. hue, forwerly of the Murray in Omaha, will smile at the belated travelers when the electric lights are buruing. Mr. C. H. Clark is bookkeeper und cashier und is a southern geutleman who will be very popular. As fine @ bar as there is in the west is connected with the hotel and under its management. Lu the plumbing the contracts called for the Lest of everything, and the system followed is that approved by the best sanitary engi- neers in the world. “The building is lighted throughout with electrieity and piped for gas. It is wired for every known system of electrio lighting. Last night over 500 electric lights were “burning within its walls. The basement is occupied with the voilers and wmachinery, The elevators are operated by it of hydraulic power furnished by pumps in the basement, and the lifting plant is_ entirely indépendent of tho waterworks supply. The character, beauty and elegance of the place will induce the traveling men to go 100 wiles out of their way to spend Sunday here, and they will be thoroughly satisfied. —— Heavy twiiled crash toweling at the Boston Store, Council Bluffs, for 3¢ a yard.

The justice fee difficulty still continues to be next to the weather, the favorite topic of conversation on the streets, There are not many who claim that Justice Patton did what was rignt in trying to make a ®ood living out of the county, as he says he tried to do, but there are some who are inclined to give him some sympathy from the fact that he did no worse, perhaps, than a great man y of his predecessors. Judge McGee is being freed from any suspicion_and Justice Ham- mer, who was alleged to have beer in collu- sion’ with him in his attack upon the county treasury, has not been once mentioned in the investigation Justice Patton, by his outspoken remarks, has brought down upon his head the anger of certain leaders among the local democr and they have taken upon themselves a soiemn oath to down him at all hazards. One of them stated to a Bee reporter vesterday that the next thing in order would be to bring Patton before the grand jury, which 18 now ession, for an indictment on the charge of “Justice Patten's claims were discussed at some_length by the supervisors yesterday morning, and the unanimous opinion was that they would bear still closer scratiny be- y were ready to bo passed, Judgoe mes and Hon.

A recess was then’taken for dinner. After the supervisors had refreshed the inner mun they returned to the court house prepared to do something desperate. The first thing they did was to pass a resolution exonerating Judge MecGee and Justices Hammer and Cones from_any accusations, whether express or implied, which might have been made against them in the course of the investigation, The next thing was the passing of the following resolution, which was done without a dissenting vote: Whereas, By sworn bills presented to the board of supervisors of Pottawattamie county, Towa, by W. £.

The judge of the district court is the only one who has the power of sitting in_judge- ment on a casc of this kind, and he also_has the exclusive right to suspend an officer pending a determiation. It is probable that application will ba made to Judge Deemer in the courso of aday or two to have Patton suspended until the case which 1s to be com- menced against him shall have been decided. Manager Hazelton of the Chautauqua As- sembly association appeared before the board yealurdn{ morning and asked permission to change the name of the company in the peti- tion for the right of way, from the **Council Bluffs street railwry company” to the “Omaha and Counci. Bluffs railway and bridge company,” and then to refile the peti- tion. His request was granted, and the petition was also granted, with the provision that the compan should file a written acceptance of the orll{ nance granting the right of way with the county auditor within thirty days and should have the railway in operation by the first of August. Mr. Hazelton stated that he did not care to have the motor line there at all unless he could have it by that time. Super- visors Alexander and Osler voted against the granting of the right of way.

Shufelat by Secretary Givson of the whisky trust was continued today by the federal grand jury. Govern- ment Gauger Dewar, who, it is alleged, Gib- son sought to bring into the plot, and seve other persons were examined. It is said' the government has evidence to show that the material for the explosive compound was vought at Colburn & Birk's drug store, in Peoria, and that the compound was made in the laboratory of the trust at Peoria. Government officlals assert that the trust has been using large al of money to buy off witnesses befo nd Jury, und hint that some of the witnesses who have ooen examined will be prosecuted for per- by fternoon William Burry, bson, entered the office of U Marshal Hitebeock and gave that offic : vere tongue lashing for alleged high-hauded sts of witnes Mr. Hitcheock seys Burry's actack is_without justification and that ‘the government simply took precau- tions that Ashford, colored janitor for the trust at Peoria, should be brought before the grand jury without giving anyone connected with the defense a chance to coach him. This was done with valuable results to the prosecution, Ashford, it is said, testified to having gone 1nto the trust labora: tory one night and accidentally broken a bot- tle on ashelf. The contents ignited and Ashford was seriously burned in extinguish- ing the flames. This testimouy and the evi dence that (hbson purchased phosphorous is regarded by the government officials as tend- ing heavily to fasten upon him the guilt of coustructing the peculiar infernal machine said to have been_designed to blow up the big anti-trust distillery. e HIGH FRICED BRIMSTON The Values of That Product Moro Than Doubled Recently. Yonk, April 11.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—Brimstone been more than doubled in price recently, particularly the brimstone that comes from Sicily, which is very largely used in tho manufacture in of sulphuric acid. Brimstone a year ago was sold at $18 a ton, but it 1s now 0, and there is talk of a further rise. Sul- phuric acid has taken to going and it has more than doublea w price. There is talk of a. combination among the manufacturers of sulphuric acid as formida- blo as that reccutly shaped by the cooper men. They have been called together in Philadelphia with the view, they say, of pro- tecting their own interests, but really settling, it is said, upon such a price for sulphuric acid as will shut off all hostile opposition. i S ity Embezzlement and Conapiracy.

Anything the matter?’ The broker failed to give any coherent answer. He uttered an inartteulate yell, grabded his hat and rushed out of the room and down the stairs, two steps at a time. The artist followed, but his cries only tended to increase the broker's speed. He learned after that the broker did not slu 1 his pace until he entered the office of a_physician. The two men met later in a cafe and the broker paid for the wine. Peace was patched up, but the broker and artist are not quite so friendly now as they were. » bt i ¢ Setting Out an Orchard. Many people make a mistake when sotting out an orchard by having the trees too large and by leaving on too much head. The younger the tree is, when _transplanted from the nursery row, the better chance it will have to live and flourish, provided oniy that it is 0ld enough to have a good equipment of roots. Peach trees in particular should not be more than one year from the bud. Before planting trim the ends of all bruised or broken roots smooth with a sharp knife. Then trim off all branches that have been made in the nursery and cut the stem square off at the height you waet to form the head, leaving the tree about the size of an ordinary walking-stick. When growth begins new buds will start out all along the stem, many of which, if left alone, will form branches. These should all be nibbed off as fast as they form, cept three or four at the top, which should be left to form the future head. It is very v to control the shape of a tree if proper attention is paid while it is young. An orchard otarted in this way, from one year old_trees, will soon overtake one started with more mature growths. While the latter are recover- ing from the effect of transplanting the former will be making new growth right along. Mark Twain's Latest.

OF INTEREST TO HE FARMER, An Instructive Paper on Feeding Cat- tle West of the Missouri. Paper read by A. M. Allen of Ames Neb., before the Nebraska Imvproved Stock Breeders association. A L T have taken this title “‘Feeding Cat- tle West of the Missouri” for this paper partly because I have had no expe in the feeding of cattle east of the Mis- souri ri and partly because I belie that the average climatic conditions in the country between the Missouri river and the Rocky;mountains indicate for us with tolerable plainness the most eff: tive method of feeding cattle. I mean the extraordinary dryness of our fall and winter season. Possibly the same system of feeding is not better than any other in the states of Illinois, Missouri and Iowa. but as I have never fed cattle in any of those states I am not able to say, and what experience T have of their climate does not lead me to belicve that it is as dry as that of Nebraska. My own expe- rience in cattle feeding is but of four ears duration, and is valuable only in i;l‘lv]u\rli4)ll to the volume of business we nee P. T. HUGHES, Wholesale Cash Commission Merchant, Elgin and Western Cremmery butter, eggs and dureleat bard, Advanveson lots on track, ware- houseor 1o ad bank rate s s nd 160 6 b Denver. Colorado, have been obliged to do, and the fact that we have tried and are trying today on the same farm two methods of feeding radically opposed to each other. Tthink the natural method of feeding cattle in Nebraska is the old style,beginning with ear corn and (nlluv«lng with whole corn with hogs to follow. This I beliove will be in the long run the safest and most satisfactory method of feeding, The most important point before all others in foeding cattle is the selection of cattle themselves, and it isa point in which one feeding on a modertits scale has great advantagoe over any concern foed- ing on a very large scale. I am well satisfied that we have fed thousands of cattle whose limit of growth was practic- ally reached long before we stopped foed- ing them, but as they were mixed with others in all the various degrees of qual- ity, it was impossible to avoid the loss, Wo fed last yenr, among other cattie, about 1,200 yearling heifers from Wyom- ing. We made them very fine and they were fine cattle to look at, on which ae- count we got considerable credit for them. We finally got us good a price as 4 cents for a few of these, but even at the low price of corn there was abso- lutely no profit in thom. Besides thes we fod about 1,500 cows and 1 do not think these mude a cent of money. The geason was a reasonably profitable one for us, butall the profit was made on about half the cattle, that is—good stoers and the very best of cows, Care in selection is nee y with the native as well as western cattle: and in fact, cont to the general belief, the tle in-Wyoming is a little better than the quality of the eattlo in Nebraska and {owa. ~In the case of cows the wost- ern eattle have v decicedly the ad- vantage over the natives on the market and in fact all western cattle, both steers und cows, sell better than na- tives of the same degree of fatness. In this I do not mean high grade or pure- bred native eattle, for these of course 1l at the highest price of all eattl The work that is being none by Western resour and Bredd Gazotte in urging and prometing breeding of pure bred and high g animals s of the greatest value it is incredible to conceive how a prac- tical farmer car persuade himself that he can afford the luxury of having an- imals of poor auality on hi Cattle of good quality being selected for feeding, the most important point is attended to. Next, as to the avrang: ment of feed lots, I think itis a ver great ervor and mistake to confino an mals in small yards or pens, with the idea that they will take too much exer- cise und thereby »p down their flesh if fed in large enclosures. After some very expensive lessons on this point we now allow our cattle plenty of room, somesof them running in pastures of 150 ac Following the idea of one of the best feed in the state, I now think the ( proper .eed lot is a corn field, which the cattle will clean of stalks and which they will quite thoronghly manure dur- | ing the winter season; und.to make the manuring more effeet linseed or cotton-seed cake should be fed with tho | corn.

When corn gets up | 4°Posite. toward fifty cents, oil-cake and corn get very close together in price, and at such a time 1 feel inclined to feed oil-cake freely; but when corn is very cheap we do not feed so much of it The valuable point in allowing the cattle large feed lots to run in is that they are uble to find dry places to lie down on, and keep out of the mud. I notice too that cattle like to get out of the feed lots where their hay racks and boxes are, to lie down in an open space. Frequently they may be seen in an open field exposed entirely to the wind, when un ordinary observer would suppose they would seek shelte I think we do_not appreciate how warm so large an animal asan ox must be when having all he wants to eat. They are storms from which they should be sheltered, but | think it more important for them to be able to lie down where it isdry. Ido not mean, however, to undervalue shel- ter, and we provide abundant shelter in the way of hayracks or groves of trees to all our outside cattle. cattle become fat they apparently wish to lie down nine-tenths of the time, and we can casily see how it must distress a fat and heavy animal to be obliged to stand up, and how injurious it must be for them to lie down in slush and mud When the range companies began_to feed cattle, in the winter of '85 and '86, several different plans of feeding were adopted, it being supposed that some short route or inside track could be found which would enable them to fat- ten cattle at a less expense than others could.
