The Council Bluffs Rowing association is making artangements for a ball, to be given at Lake Manawa on tho evening of August 14, The young people of the city are looking forward fo the event with great expectations. There will be a regular mecting of Council Bluffs council No. 1, Commercial Piigrims of America, this eveningat 8 o'clock.

Tucker, died last evening at 6 o'clock of cholera infautum, azed ten months, The funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the residence, 800 Bighth avenue. A surprise party was given night before last to George and Bertha Smith at their home on Fifth avenue by Mamie Hill. About thirty-five young people were present and tho evening was spent pleasantly in dancing, cards and other amusements. By a typographical error Twi Bek stated yesterday that the reunion of the old settlers of Pottuwattamie, Mills and Fremont coun- ties would bo held in Fairmount park in this city on August 28, Instead it will be heid on August 20. The programme is now being ar- ranges and will be seut out in a few day A colored womnn called at the police sta- tion abont midnight Thursday night and com- plained that she had been abused by her husband. She had been attending prayer meeting on North Main street, and when sho went home, 521 East Broadway, her husband threw her ‘out of the house and struck her with a whisky bottle which he had been in- dustriously emptying of its coutents. She filed no information, and her dusky partner was not arrested. In the police court yesterday morning Oscar Jones, colored, was fined $26.40 for drunkenness and disturbing the peace. R. D. Wunzel, the “policy” man, was fined 4,00 for gambling, and his appeal bond was fixed at §100. Notice of apoeal to the district court was given. S. Johuson was given thirty days for vagrancy, M, Cro- nan fourtcen days for the same ' offense. John Johuson waus fined $15.70 for drunken- ness and vagrancy, aud Charles Iverson & like amount for drunkenness, Last evening’s heavy rain storm coused another rise of Indian creck. The waters were obstructed again by the North- western bridee at the corner of Eleventh street, and were sent in a flood across lower Broudway for a block or two east. Fortun- ately but little damage was done, although the creek rose a distance of threo feet in about on bour and a half. It is thought that the damage suits which are about to be com- menced against the Northwestern railway company will have the effect of bringing the company to terms, and putting a stop o such oceurrences. Complaint is being indulged n on all siges on account of the weeds that are being allowed to disgrace the public streets in all arts of the city. Across from the court ouse there is a luxuriant growth on a vacant lot between Main and Pearl street. On the corner of Broadway and Tenth the weeds are higher than a man's head, and as n udded misfortune, tho ground is very low, 80 that the moisturo of the past summer has gathered there, 1t is just the kind of place to start an epidemic of malaria and ague, and the pcn})lc of that vicinity will consider themselves fortunate if they escape.

The game at Manawa yesterday was not exactly what could pe called iuteresting from a professional poiut of view, but judging from the amount of noise that was made by the audience, thero was more real interest felt in the game than in any that has been played in this vicinity for u long time. The grand stand was well filled with spectators, and every good play was met with applause, while bad plays, which could have been rlukud out by the dozen by anyone who was nclined to stickle for the technical points of the national wame, were grected with de- isive, though good natured jeers, 'he members of the bar from Papillion arrived about noon accompanied by quite & number of their friends who came along to #00 that their friends had fair play. The visitors were not compelled to make aitidavits that they were all practising lawyers, as was sugwested, and ‘therefore some doubts wore exproised as to whether some of them, who were apparently still in their teens, were rogularly practising attorneys. But thoy were old enough to play a pretty fair game of ball, anyway, and nobody cared any further, ''ne names of the players in both clubs were as heretoforo published, with the ex- ception of the Bluffs catcher, Travis taking the place of Emil Schurz. Good work was done on the whole by the battery, Grove and Allen for Papillion and Travis and Askwith for Council Bluffs. The main feature of the game was Askwith's slide to first base, During the first half of the game the Bluffs boys kept abead of thoir rivals, but after the sixth foning the tables were turned, and the Papililonites took the lead. The last inning, however, camo very near evening things up, und at the close the score stood 17 to I8 in favor of Papiilion. The game was awarded to Papillion by Umpire F. W. Neal, and a fine suppor was served in the dining room of the hotel Munawa, at the expense of the Blufites. After supper, on account of the rain, tho whole party decided to stay at the notel until morning, Union Park races, Omaha and Coun- cil Bluffs, Septembor 8-11, $6,500; Oc- tober 2022 $4,000.

Meot as City Council Session of Next Week Will Pe Postpined to Permit Members to Attend -=An- other Flo The meeting of anti-prohibitionists failed to come off last evening at the court housoe, as had been announced. Had it not been for the rain the room would have been crowded in all probability, but as it was there we not over fifty present. It was thought best notto take any action, in the hope that by postponirg the meeting a fuller expression of opinion could bo secured. An adiournment was taken until next Monday evening, in the superior court room At the county court house, and the programme which had been arrangzed for last evening will be carried out tothe letter. Monday uight is tho time for the regular monthly meeting of the city council, but it 1s said_that the meeting will be adjourncd, in order to allow the council- men to attend the anti-prohibition demon- stration, ROSTON STORE COST SALF Everything in the Store Has Feen Murked Down to Cost—Ten Days Only—Note ‘These Prices, WASH GOODS. 32-in_ 8c summer cashmeres at cost ce, 5e, Yard wide 124c suiting (plaid only) at cost price, 6c nch sateens, regular 22 goods, beautifui designs, half price, 11c. )00 yards of Pekin cloth and fancy zephyr, sold for 10¢ at12de, for Gic.

The city council took a drive over to Cut- Off Island day vefore yesterday afternoon for the purpose of Looking over the ground in order that in the future when matters come up that need attention they can act under- standingly. They came back fully convinced that if lowa wins the suit now pending in the supreme court for the possession of the island the city will get just what it wants, the opinion of some of the citizens to the con- wrary notwithstonding. According to a statoment made by ouo of the aidermen tho land which is the subject of litigation is the only part of the island that is worth any- thing, und the council was unanimous 1n the feeling that Iowa must have it if such a thing is possible. An immense amount of grading is being dono there, over a thousand men being em- ployea in the work by the East Omaha Land compuny. Many new buildings are being constructed, and the place is taking on to- tally new appearauce. City Surveyor Toste- vin states that the grading now béiug done will bring theisland up to'a level with that in the business part of Council Bluffs. Auother result of the ride will be witnessea in the course of a few days in tho form of a couple of law suits which ure to be com- menced in_superior court to compel tho Union Pacific and tho Northwestern rail- way companies to ralso their bridges in ne- cordance with the orders of the city council, some months ago. As stated in Tue Bek, those companies huve steadily ignored all warninys given them by the council and an effort will now be made to induce them by means of the order of a court to do what they should already have done at the council’s re- quest. The city marshal scrved notice on the companies yesterday that a suit would bo commenced against thein on or before August 15 to compel them to remove the Indian croek bridgos at Eleventh street and Tenth avenuo. heading— Intending to discontinue our Omaha store for the present and moving the stock to Council Blulfs, we will have no room for all the surplus stock, and 1n order to reduce our now immense num- ber of Pianos and O: s we will offer them at a sacrifice for the next thirty days. 1f you want a big bargain call soon.

TH S ey BEE BUREAU OF CLALMS, Who Compose 1ts Counsel 1t 1s Managed. and How About sixty days ago a new departure was naug urated by the San Francisco Examiner, now the leading paper on the coast. Its pro- vrietor, Mr. Hearst, son of the late Senator Hearst of California, who has a very largo fortunc at his command, conceived the idea of establishing a bureau of claims at Wash- ington, manued by the ablest lawyers and specialists conversant with the routine work in the various departments and burcaus of the government. When the announcemnt of this new depart- nrewas made negotiations were at once en- tered into between Tie Bee: and the proprie- tor of the Examiner to join hands and mu ually share In the enterprise. Theso ar- rangements have beer: perfected and agree- ments entered into by whica Tie Bet is to prosecute all cisims arrising in the territory where Tiie Bt enjoys so extensive a sub- scription patronage. Under this agreoment all_applications for claims, either for pensions, Indian depreda tions land or mining claims, patent or pos- tal claims in the states of lowa, Kansas, South Dakota and Nebraska, will be taken in hand by Tue Bee Bursav oF Ciaivs in Omaha and _through 1t fowarded to head- quarters at Washington where they will be prosccuted to a final acd speedy conclusion. Tur Bre takes pleasuro in offering to all its patrons and particularly to subscribers to Tui: WeekLy Bek, the services of its new bureau which, we have uo doubt, will prove of groat advantage to them, both in prosecu- ting new claims to a successful issue and in expediting all claims entrusted to Tug Beg bureau. Tne Ber BuakAu o CLAIYS has frequently boen referred to 1 these columns, but up to the present time, no reference has been made to the manuer n which its important work is rformed. This is one of the most interest ng featuras connected with the enterprise. The Bureau's Counsel. To begin with, the ss1vices of thrce most eminent councilors have been retained, These are A. L. Huihes, O. E. Weller, and P.J. Butler. They are aenominated ‘‘gen- eral counsel.”” They are men of mature years and learned in tne law. They have made a specialty of practising in tho the United States supreme, circuit and dis- trict courts, the United States court of claims aud before all the departments and hureaus of the government. They are qualificd to pass upon the general merits of any ciaim, as soon as it is presented, This saves a great deal of time, because, when a claim has been passed upon by them, iv is generaily one which is entitled to & standing i court. When a claim is rejected by them, it meaos that it is either outiawed or that it lacks cer- tain clements which would lead to its final Examiners and Experts. Besides these gentlemen there are also a practising attorney, an_examiuer and expert in each depurtment in which Tur Bee pro- poses to prosecute claims, namely, those of atents, pensions, postal and land claims and ndian depredations, in fact in any depart- ment in which a claim may arise against the federal government. These attorneys pre- pare the petitions and tead to the claims be- fore the several courts, while the examiners and experts nake aspeciulty of searching the records and arranging the evidenco neces- sary to strengthen the claim he gentloman charged with this duty re- garding Indian depredations hus been the a ant chief examiner of these laims in th Tudian bureau of the interior departinent for mauy years. His comprehensive rnowledge of details, facts, status of and_evidence in the cases herctofore filed or the outbreaks out of which others yet to be filed have arisen, rendors his services extremely valu- able. ‘Then there is a general manager, edderburn. For years ho was private s y to Senator Hearst, the futher of Hou, Willinm Hearst, the projector of the present enterprise. He'has also been for years the Washington correspondent of the San Fran- cisco Examiner, with which Tug Beg1s no s co-operating. Feis a mua of universal in- formation und is especially adupted to the responsible position he now holds. Than this force none more capable could be found in the country. Its services have been retained ut great expense by the bureau, the salarics alone reaching at the present time $1,800 per montn, As has been stated, the San Francisco Ex- aminer idnugurated the enterprise, and through it Tur Ber was allowed to establish 1ts bureau for th ommodation of cluim- ants in South Dakota, Towa, Nebraska and Kansas. This privilege was fivst, of all the papers in the country, extended to Tue Bee, because of its known pluck, enterprise aud undertaking, however, has at- so much attention throughout the country and been so greatly appreciated by old soldiers, Indian victims, and defrauded nment cliimants, that leading papers elsowhero have asked to be admitted to cnjoy the privileges of the bureau. Among these papers there is a leading one in Min sota and others in Boston, Ciucinnati, St. Louis, Atianta and New' Orleans, It is thought that Mr. Hearst, the propriotor of The Examiner, and the gentloman who in- auvurated the system, will grant the applica- tion, Claims Coming In. Tue Bre Cant BUkEAU has not been in existenco one month and yet it has listed Ingian depridation clalms aggregating 2,000 and the amouat is belng con- standy added to. This is & remark- uble showing, and yot it is buta fraction of the claims which remain unrecorded und ua- said in the sistes controlled by Tue Bie BUkeau oF Craims, uamely, South Dakota, Nobraska, Iowa and Kansas. On March 8, of this year, an act for the payment of Indian depredation claims was approved, To this act, it is neces- | sary to direct the attontion of every claimant who has sufferod at the hauds of Indiaus. This refers to those vietims whose claims have already been filed as well as to those who still coutemplate filing them. Up to the dato in question, thousands of sufferers had filed their claims with attorneys in all parts of the country ana were in ost cases charged oxcessive fees, Many of tho cluims, 00, bad been peuding for years. Satisfled that, 10 many cases, the claimants bad contracted with the a'torueys in ques- tion and, without fear of prosecution = for Suuulenty could not transfer thelr clalms o SUNDAY. .AUGUST 2, 1891-SIXTEEN PAGES, other agents or monJL- who might expe- dite the coliection, congress .

Jurisdiction in vh esklématters was trans ferred to the court of clajms where the ser vices of an attorney are indispensable, Under this law, all agreemen(p made by claimants with attorn , prior to March 3, 1801, are expressly declared null wnd vold, ' This was doue us has been intimaded to release claim- ants from exorbitant fge contracts. Every claimant is, thbrefore, free to em- ploy as his attorney weamsoever ho ploasos, Juder these circumstanges, it would appear 10 be to the advantaga of e Ty person hav- ing a claim to place the same with the bu- re: sponsible paper as Tue BEr, with unknown partie The disappointed attorneys whom the law in question has deprived of exorbitant fees have beon flooding the couutry threatening their former clients with suit should they take their claims from them und place them in the hands of other attorneys. —But this sliould not discourage cluitnants, because an act of congross is paramount to any and all agreements entered into with any attorney prior to the time named in the said law. To Recover fo Indian Depredations Parties desiring to avail themselves of the benefits of the act in ouoestion re- garding the recovery ot claims growing out of Indian depredations should forward to Tug Bee BUREAU oF Craims power of attorney, gravting author ity to appour in thoir case in the court of claims. They should also furnish a _detailed statement of loss, including each specific article jost, its value, date, countv and state. band or triho of Indians committing depredations, names and prosent addresses of witnesses whose testimony they expect to use in substantia- tion of their claim, and such other informa- tion bearing upon the case us they may possess. Upon receipt of this simple information, Tue BEE BUkeav or Crarus will immediately attend to the more intricate or difticult por- ion of the preparation, The claims must not ba based_on depreda- tions extending back beyond 1565, Readers of Tur Bee or those who may filo cluims for coilection, are_respectfully re- quested to furnish Tig BEe BUREAU OF Cratys with the names and addrosses of any other partics who have suffered similar losses at the hanas of [ndians. Many people are as yet unaware of the recent favorable Jegislation by which these claims can now, if properly prepared and presented be collected. But [ndian depredation claims are not the only ones which Tnp Bee BUREAU OF CLAMs proposes to haudle. In buief, it will look after any claim which any citizen has against the government or any department of the government. It will be specially service- able to soldiers of the late war. Pensions for Aged Soldicrs, Strange as it may appear, tucre are thou- sands of veteraus of the rebellion, who are old, weary, infirm and beyond the skill of hysician ‘or surgeou to restore to health, Many of these areancapacitated because of exposure or injuries sustained in the late war, and yet, many of these are unprovided with pensions. Pensions for Infirm Soldiers, There are thousands of poor fellows who are permanently disabled, having _served at least ninety days in thie war. They wero also honorably” discharged. These aro enti- tled to a pension even though the infirmity from which they suffer Was 1ot the result of exposure in the war, _The only condition is that their prostration i$ not the result of vicious habits. Pensions for Soldiers’ Widows. There are thousands of soldiers’ and sail- ors’ widows in this country who do not know that they are entitled to pensions. And yet, by writing Tue BEE Buriau o CLAIMS, whed their case is just, they-will be able to socure those pens All that is required is that each widow show that sho is witkout other means of support than hee daily labor and that her husband served at least ninety days 1 guaranteed by such a_relinble and re- rather than in the army and was hanorably dischurge that she mavriod the soldier prior to June 27, 1800, Proof of his death. must also be ad- vanced, but his domiseneed not have been the result of army seryice. Securing Patent Rights. There are thousands of inventive men and wouen 1n this country who ‘have inveutions which are known only to their friends, Yet in those inventions there are sometimes for- tunes to be found. Yet, comparatively speaking, but few of these inventors ever seck a patent. They do not know how to do it. They fear the cost and the delay. Tie Bee Bukeav of Craims has reduced these almost to a minimum. Pensions tor soldiers’ Parents, There arethousands of soldiers’ parents who are also ignorant of the fact that they ave entitled to pensions. These must prove that their son died from a wound, injury or disease which, under prior laws, would have given him a pensioa: that he left no wife or minor child; that the mother or father is at present dependent upon bis or her own man- ual labor or the contributions of others not legally bound for his or her support. Besides these claims, Tue BEE BUREAU will prosecute lund claims growing out of disputes or appeals from local land offices to the general land office of the United States. Appeals From Local Land Offices. These appeals are froquently most annoy- ing to both pu ‘The local attorney can- not personally proseeute the case in Wash- ington. It would cost to support him thero, frequently moro than the land iu question is worth, to'say nothing of his fees, which, as has been shown, are generally 'as high as may be collccted. ~ He is, therefore, compelled to trust the elaim into the hands fa man whom she does not Know, whose first move is to bleed the claimant and tho nt- torney who refers the claim to him, Bo- tween these men the appellant hungs in un- certuinty uniil the final adjudication bas been made, In Tue Bee Bueeau or CLatys these would be placed in the hands of well known and v spousible people, pushed with the greatest cuergy and at the minimum of cost. Tie Bee Braeav or CLaiis therefore 1s the medi- um through which these appeal cases should be prosceuted. 3 ining and Postal Claims. The same is true of minmg anl postal These would go immediately to com peteut hands. Thoy would not be “delayed. If unwortny, they ‘would never be filed in court, but the claimant would be notified of the fact. He would thus be relieved of all anxiety within « few months, whereas, as it is now, he does not know what kind of a claim he has nuntil after it has been passed upon by the courts or the departments. Tie Bee Bureau can tell a good claim from a bad claim. It never presents the lat- ter. It does not wish to rob the treasury. It collects only claims that are just. Lacouraging Inventors. There are a great mauy inventors who believe the moment thay place the secret of their discovery in the hands of any other verson, from that very moment an intrigue 15 formed to dispossess them of their dis- covery. Tue Be: Bugeu or CLAINS tak occasion to say to thi worthy but un quited class of its patrons that it will treat all such business intrusted to its care in the most mmndcmhgcmnnur. thus assur- ing to all who may wish o secure a patent on their inventions the utulst secrecy from the beginning to the end of the transaction. Parties desiring to_avail themsclves of Tk Bek Bukeav or GLAIMS in the matter of securing patent rights, trade marks, prints Iaoels and copyrights, “should mwake’ known their wants in this digfgtion, when written instructions will bo fuiipished us to the mode of procedure required gpder the patent laws. Patent Rights & Speclalty. Tue Buke v o CLAvH announces that it will make this branch of its work a spectalty aud ono that can be relied upon us bei boyond the power of experts even to crit cise, This announcement is made becauso the fact has already been ofi- clally ~ promulgated by the United States patent ofice that the territory embraced in the states of South Dakot Nebraska, Towa and Kunsas eujoys 4 world- wida reputation us possessing more inventive genius, strange as it may appear, than any similar extent- of territory in the Uuited States at the present time. Applicauts for patents should understand thut Tk Bee Buikkav or CLas lays great stress upen the fact that It can advise its patrons, almost at the outset, whether their invention is new und patentable, thus saving n the exorbitaut fee churgea by the or- patent attorney ‘Pheése claims will be prosecutod not as a means of making money, but simply as an accomodution to claimants liviug 1 the states above enumerated.

The last congross passod an act dosigned to facilitate the presentation and_collection of | the cluims of citizens of the United States for depredations committed by the members of the various Indian tribes sitce July 1, 1865, This act provides for the speedy heating and determining of all such claims, and allows at- torneys presenting them to chirge from 15 to 20 per cont. 1 is believed that the work can be done for from 5 per cent and upwards of the amount of tue cluims as allowed by the proper court, thus effecting @ large saving to claimants who huve in the past paid from 331§ 1050 por cont, for such work. By the.torrs of this law all claims must be prosecuted be- fore the conrt of claims within three years from the date of its passage or that they will forever be barred; 50 that it i desirable that persons who havo suffered from Indian dep- vedations in tho states of Nebraska, Kan JTowa and South Dakota should at once com muaicate with Tite Ber bureau of claims and have the matter put in proper shape und pre- sented to the court immediate!
