County Commissioners Havh Agreed on Some Plune for Thelr Improvement. None of thecountry roads leading out from the city will be paved this season, but the county commissioners hope to complete ur- rengements by whion work will begin with the opening of next spriug. County Commissioner ’vuu--n- in speak- ing of an improvement ot the county roads aud tho expending of the procesds of the #150,000 boud: that he believed it was the begloning of & great ond. ‘Whon the money was once expended it would be placed in such & wmanner that farmers would readily realize the benefits; they would then drop into line and At iavoula be but a few yoars before mobof the imvortant roads in the county woul@beimproved. The commissioners have now agreed upon what roads they*willl expend the proceeds of tho bonds. Thamoney will g0 onto the mili- tary road to themorthwost ; the Eikhorn road to the west, whiih is u continuation of Dodge streot, and the - Millard road the southwest. THls will improve, they say, three of thewgrent thorough fares leadin into the city. /Fhe Florenve people an those along Sou® Thirteenth street have pe- titioned for a proportion of the money, but ther will not bedu it simply for the reason that the law is mgminet them. The law pro- vides that the mouev shall not be oxpended within. the fncorporated limits of any . ofty, town or village. This being the case, the commissioners 1t they desired to improve the Floreiice road or State strect would be combelled to go be- yond the limits of Florence and work to the north. If they deured to improve South Thirteenth street they would have to begin at the Sarpy county line and work south. Both of these plans would be impracticable, for if thn improvements were mada there woald be a strotch of unpaved road be- tween the city and the county paving. With this existing state of affairs, it leaves the three roads above mentioned the oandi- datas for the county money. Mr. Williams states that now the eroatest difficulty that the commissioners will have to contend with will be the selection of material. b ———— GERMAN SOCIETY AFFAIRS. Arraingments for the Observation of Ger- man Da. 'I'ne committee ¢f arrangements for Ger- man day, October 6, has enlarged its pluns to 1nclude a grand stroet parade of the Ger- man societies at noon. It was thought at firat that Omaha had boen surfeited with parades and other public demonstrations, but it has now been concluded that she can stand one more, and one more she will get with a great waving of the yellow ana black. A grand program Is being prepared for Exposition hall. The massenchor, embrac- 1ng all the singing societies, will number 500 singers for the grand chorus, and selcctions will be rendered by all the societies. Thero will be an orchestra of ffty pieces, and Messrs. E. Rosewater, Jacob Hauck and Frederick Schnake will address the audience. German societles from Lincol Platts- mouth and all the neighboring towns will be invited to participate in the exercises. e At Rix's Grove The Boars who went to Rix's farm last, Sunday had just as jolly a time as thoy ex- pected. Apout sixty members and their wives and children left the Wehster street depot at 8 o'clock in the morning. Arrived at the grounds, everyone, men, women and children, feli in lice for calis- thenic exercises after whicb the turning contest opened. Twelve competitors took part in the exercises which consisted of three movements on the parallel bars. a high jump and o hau-sklp»mm-jumfl Out of a possible 85, Bear Unger captured 2014 points and the first prize. Dr. Lucke was a close secend with 2014 points and Emil Stein with 21 was the booby and wears the leather medal. An excellent lunch prepared by the ladies was the next feature on the program and overy ouo tock part. After lunch all sorts of games were played. The Bears' 100<yard dash was won by Ka Schurig in 1814 seconas. The ladies’ seventy- five-yard dash was won by Mrs. Beselin. Miss Nina Stein'won the young ladies’ race. At 6 o'clock supper was served and the protty grove lighted/with Chinese lanterns and filled with the lighthearted merrymak- crs was a sightigood for sore eyes. Singing and dancing filled i all the vacant spots in the program. ‘The Trampel bear, H. Schaeffer, toward train time, started @ bonfire, and, announc- ing that he wasgoing to give an imitation of an Indian war danes, began plunging back ana forth over ‘the flame. The excitement was infectious and in a short time the whole party joined him'and the party broke up in & grand burst of fillasity. —————— They Wil Fight Again. The grand eveut today among the Ger- mans is the celebration at Ruser’s park of the Landwehrverein commemorating the famous victory at the battle of Scdan. The program provides for a uress parade and an- nouncement of the exercises of the day at 3 o'clock, followed by addresses by prominent speakers, At 8:30 come the infantry drill without arms, and the assembling of the recruits, At'4, & grand prize drill, At b, a tug-of-war between picked teams from the infantry and the cavalry. At 6:30, an alarm of tne camp ordering out ?hs scouts and general preparations for the ray. AU7 the battle begins in earnest. A fort has been erected on the grounds and will be defended by a company of imitation Freuch- men. The Germans will attack them with a great booming of vannon and rattle of mus- ketry. When the ammunition gives out the fort ‘will, of course, fall with a blaze of red- firo and exploding fireworks. At 9 o'clock tne shattered forces will as- semble for the final dress parade. o The Great Tournnment, The tournament of the Schutzenverein September 10 and 11 it is expected will be more successful this year than any hercto- fore held. Invitations have been extended to all the Garman shooting societies of the state to take part and many have signified their intention of doing so. A Strong Team. The law copartnorship just entered into between Mr. Richard S. Horton ana Mr. T. W. Bluckburn promises well for the success of the now ffrm. Both partners are ablo, active and energetic young men, and & resi- dence of years in this city has gained for them many friends and a wido circle of ac- quamtance, Mr. Horton was until recently the junior member of the firm of Hubbard, Sweazey & Horton, and Mr. Blackburn, prior to accept- ing a position with R.

After speaking earncstly in behalf of the Woman's Relief corps, and the Grand Army of the Republic cause in general, Mrs, Wade dwelt upon the importance of mothers teaching lessons of * patriotism to their children. Then striking o stago atti- tude, she said, I not only tench patriotism in my family, but—and I don't care whether I am out of place or not—l also teach republicanism.” This brought the house down, but the proprietors of the merry-go-rounds, lemonade stands and loungers on the grounds thought the heuvens had fallen when the good lady added, ‘‘there are eight of us in the family including me and the old man, and if we all could vote we would shove in twb-thirds of n dozen ballots for Ben Harrison.” Major Church Howe, who was in command, then had a chance to exhibit his powers of repartee and finesse, for ho instantly stepped forward and, with us much com- posure as possible under the circum- stances, gravely explained that the dis- cussion of poli by men was strictly prohibited from the stand, but that the women of this country seem to have a faculty of doing - as_they please. Said he: “They began it when we men were all in the army, and some of them keep it up yet.”” Department Commander Dilworth may be said to have voiced the unani mous sentiment of the Grand Army boy when, in his address at the Auburn re union,he%aid, cuse me from a reunion of the gray and blue. The only combi- nation of that kind that should be toler- ared is the blue suit of the union soldier and the gray hairs above it. A man who travels in a rebel uniform cannot march in my command. We march under no flag except that of the United States.” Watterson on Lincoln, Editor Watterson has been charged with sensationalism by the Richmond Dispatch because he said: *“*Washing- ton was the just among men, and Lin- coln was the inspired of God.” In an cloquent reply Wattesson con- cludes as follows: Born as lowly as the Son of God, in a hovel; of what real parentage wo know gleam of light nor fair surroundings; a young manhood vexed by weird drenms and visions, bovderiog af times on mad ness; without a grace, natural or ac- quired: singularly awkward, ungainly, even among the uncouth about him; gro- tesquo 1 his aspe —it was reserved for this strange being, late in life, without name ov fuine, or prepara- tion, to be suatched from obscurity, raised to supreme command at a supr moment, and entrusted with the des' of a nation. The great leaders of his party were made to stand aside; the most experi- enced and accomplished public men of the day, men like Seward and Chase and Sumner, statesmen famous and trained, were sent to the rear, while this un- known and fastastic figure was brought by unseen hands to the front and given the reins of power. It is enti i material whether we believe in w said or did, whether we are for him or against him; that, during four years, careying with them such a pressure of responsibility as the world has never witnesseu before, he filled the measure of the vast space allotted him in the actions of mankind and in the eyes of the world. is to say that he was inspired by God, for nowhere else could he have acquired the enormous equipment indis- pensable to the situation, Where did Shakespeare get his genius? Where aid Mozart get his music? Whose hand smote the lyre of the Scottish plowman and stayed the life of the German priest? God alone, and as surely as these were raised up by God, inspired of God, was Abraham Lin- coln: and, 1,000 years hence, no story, no tragedy, no epic poem will be filled with greater wonder than that which tells of his life and deuth. The Frunk P, Blalr Post. Frank M. Sterritt, commander of Frank P. Blair post No. 1, St. Louis, and Dr. W, H. Scott,adjutany,have com- pleted arrangements for transportation, quartering and entertainment of their post at the coming twenty-sixth national encampment at Washington, which commences September 20.

It will be at the option oj the post to take in Richmond, Va., and go from there to Fortress Mon: roe by sail or steamboat on the James river, thense by steamer up the Chesa- peake bay, the Potomac river past {ount Vernon to Washington, The post will present a memoriual badge to Mrs. John A. Logan, with whose husband so many members of Blair post served during the wur. The purty will be accompanied by the celebrated Third regiment band, of Wassau, Wis., which has furnished thers music for the past four national encampments. Secrotary John W, Noble, a member and former commander of Blair post, will be sere- naded and will then join the post ina serenade to the president of the United States. Side trips to Gettysburg, Mount Vernon. Arlington Heights, the various Virginia and Maryland battlefields and the numerous public buildings of Wash- ington have been fully arranged for. Frank P.
