Tho Omaha Schuetzenverein's fourth an- flual tournament wound upln a veritable blaze of glory at Ruser's park yesterday af- ternoon, It was the most enthusiastic and successful meeting the club has ever experi- enced, and the members were correspond- Ingly jubitant. The crowd in attendance, the bulk of which had been drawn thither out of puriosity, was one of the largest that over congregated in this vicimty under similar ¢ircumstances. Tho park ana rango were becomingly decorated with flying banners and flags, avd the Musical Union band kept the autumn air vibrating with melody. It will probably be a long day before Ruser's park will sce such another foyous and elated growd. ‘The club members wore enthusiastic over the very manifest strides thoy have made in the delicate art of long rango riflo shooting, and their prospective mbility to compote with the notablo shots from all over the country who will be here at tho nativam schuetzenfest, which wiil bo held hero two years honce.

'I'his decoration over, there was a hearty cheor by tho onlookers and an “alarum” by the musicians. Being called upon for o speech, Mr. tocnker expressed his eratitude for tno indly treatment of his associates and hoped that they might long continue as friendly competitors with the rifle. Tho schuetzen king was then placed upon the shoulders of those giants Henry Ross and Coarloy Butt and was held thére by Adolph Meyer and Ed Wittig. Thus en- throned, preceded by the band and followed by the other sharpshooters, the king was borne along the labyrinths of tho garden amid the cheers of the onlookers. The pro- cession returned to the stand whero goblets brimming with Rhenish wine were quaffed by tho marksmen and vassed amoug tho spectators.

The selections, ranging from popular to classic, weve variod enough to suit all tastes.

The waltz, “The Pos- tillion,” and the operatic selections from *I1 ‘Provotore," “lolanthe” and “Beggar Stu dent” wero also deserving of especial men tion.

Hardships Endured by Members of Bowdoin College Expedition. Pontr Hawksnuny, N. B., Sept. 12.—The crowuing point of the Bowdoin colloge ex- pedition was reached September 1, by the re- turn of the party sent out to discover the truth of the legendary accounts of the Granden falls. The four men, all graduates of the college, headed by Mr. Austin Carey, left their schooner on Sundav, July 20, On August 8 they reached a point five wiles in advance of the furthest point reached by Mr. Holme in 1588, At this point, on account of a disabled orm, Mr. Young and a companion were obliged to turn back, reaching Rigolet on August 21. Messrs, Carey and Cole proceeded towards tho fails, which had been reported to bo dis- tant fifty miles, On August 13, after a three days’ tramp, thoir labors were rewarded by a deafening roar in the distance. Thoir provisions were now nearly gous, stores having been exhausted on the way up, but they pushed resolu onthe height of the plateau called Height of Land.” It is this plateau which is the source of tho stream and the descent of the river to the sea forms the fails and rap- 1ds. The spray of the falls was visible for twenty miles. From the fails the water flows through a canyon formed of archaan rock, the sides of which rise to a height of 500 feet and aro heavily wooded at the top. The beight of the falls has been grossiy oxaggerated, and whilo presenting a grand and beautiful sight, measure only 200 feet in a perpendicular fall, the rapids leading to this fall increasing the total altitude of the falls to 500 feet. Above the falls tho average width of the rivoris 500 yards, narrowing until 1t reachos the falls, to a width of only fifty yards, when it plunges over tho rapids and falls 10 & narrow gorge below. Mr. Cole descended to the-foot of the falls and succeeded 1n obtaining some good photo- graphs of them. Haviog completed the ob- servations of the falls they kepton a fow miles above “The Height of Land,” where from o peak, christened by them'*‘Mount Hyde-Bowdoin," they had a fine perspective of the surrounding country. At this point, their provisions being all gone, they set out for a return. On reaching the spot where they had left therr boat thoy found that the camp fire which they had built had consumed the boat, and with it hel whole stock of pro- visions and o gun. Their position was now sowewhat critical. Three bundred miles on a river heretofore unexplored, with no boat, no help aud no provisions until they should ‘reach their first cache, the outlook was one to blanch all but the stoutest hearts. ‘They set bravely to work, however, and with & small hatchot for their only implement constructed a smull raft, binding the logs to- gother with spruce raots On rafts maae in this way they traveraed tho three hundred odd miles to the mouth of the river, enduring tho greatest hardships. Their only weapon wasa small revolver, with which they shot a few squirrels mak- ing ameal on one such animal. On the way down five different rafts were co; structed, the making of which in_their wasted condition consumed a_great amount of time and energy. They reached the vessel September b, receiving a royal wel- come from their friends. The falls which they have discovered are reported to haye been seen by two employees of the Hudson Bay company, but no authen- tic account of any such discovery has been given. The successful rosult of the expedition 15 due wholly to the heroie efforts of Messrs. Caroy and Gele, and Bowdoin col'ego may well he congratulated by her sister collegos for tho addition which sho has mado to tho heretofore scant knowledge of the geography of Labrador. - - For Schlitz beer apply to R, R.

LEGAL RESIDENCE OF COUNTY OFFICIALS, Attorney General Stono has rendered a decision in which he holds that a county officer wlio obtains employment and livos outside of the county in which he was elected can not hold his oflice.

Crestoy, In., Sept. 18.—|Special to Tar B, [—At aspecial session of the city council Friday night an attempt was made to suspend Johu Pilgrim, city marshal and chief of police, for alleged neglect of ofticial duties. This charge was brought against the marshal some days ago by a Jocal probibition league, and on the information he was arrested by the sheriff and fined £10 in the superior court. It was supposed the leaguo had secured tho necossary two-thirds majority of the council to oust the marshal, but on & vote tho coun- cil ouly ordered an 'investigation of his offi- cial acts, and Pilgrim still holds tho fort. Publi¢ interest runs bigh 1n this matter inasmuch as the marshal and the police forco have been acting under the instructious of Mayor Derr, who was elected to office by those favoring police control of the saloons in the shape of monthly fines, 1t tho marshal is suspendad from office it is said the leaguo will begin impeachment proceedings against the mayor. The leaguo has taken this step after haviug made several unsuccessful at- tempts to closc the joints by bringing suits against their owrers.
