Saar, who lives on a farm in Keg Creek township, about sixteen miles east of Council Blufls, had the second tragedy within a month occur at his place Thursday night. About a month agoa young German who worked for him borrowed a shotgun and blew the top of his head off. Thursday night Henry Iben, another of his farm hands, aged years, committed suicide by hunging him- felf. Hehad been working for Saar bnly about three months, and but littlo is known of bis antecedents, For some days he had been ill with malarial fever, and it is be- lieved that this trouble had the effect, as it some times does, of undermining his reason. He slept with o small boy who worked on the farm. Early in the evening he got up and went down stairs to the cora crib,where he propared the rope in one corner of the orib. o then rothrned 1 bad, but during the night he went down agan and finished the job by putting his neck within the noose and_throwing himself down from a crevice in the sideof the crib, He was found by Saar ecarly yesterday morning. His I was not broken by the fall, and he had ngled to death. His body was quite cold whea it was cut down.

Schoedsack Domestic soup is the best NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUEFS) Litigation Started Involving the Title to Much Valuable Property. MRS, CATHERINE HERBERT'S FORTUNE After m Separation of Many Years from Her' Husband, sShe Comes Forward nud Ims & Share of It Am Interesting © A sult was commenced in the district court yesterday in which the ownership of about §20,000 worth of property 18 involved, and the circumstances which gave rise to the litigation present a good many facts of intcrest. George Herbert, a resident of Montana, is the plaintiff, and some trouble between himself and wife, who died in 1585, is At the bottom of the present difficulty. Mrs. Catherine Herbert lived in Council Bluffs for a great many years and was proprietress of the St. Louis hotel, located at the corner of Main streot and Ninth avenue. She made considerable money out of her hotel business and invested it a8 fast as she made it in city . which steadily rose in value, he died_and the property all went to her children. She had not lived with her husband for more than tweuty vears before her death, aud many of her most intimate friends did not even know that she had such a commodity in her possession. After her death the children disposed of almost all of the property to John Lindt, who in turn dis- posed of a part of it to his wife and the rest to other parties. It was suvposcd that she was divorced from her husband, and right here is one of the peculiarities of the case. Pecullar Features of the Case. Early in the 80's she filed a petition in the aistrict court asking for a divorce. It ran along for about a yeur. and finally the court record has an account of its dismissal. There is nothing further on the records in the mat- ter until in March, 1884, when sucdenly there 1s the record of a decree of divorce in the case { Catherine Herbert against George Herbert, which had been dismissed more than a year before. The decree is written on about a quarter of a page, which had ap- parently been loft between two other de- crees, and the difference in handwriting and the color of the ink between it and the two on either side of it seem to throw sgme doubt uvon its genuineness. Herbert is now making an effort to recover his dower interest of one-thivd of the prop- erty, and filed several petivions in court in which he makes S.J. Lindt, J. W. Henry Coffeen, Clay & Forrest, son and Jonannette und John Linder ¢ ants, He claims that he was served with any notice of the pendency of the divorce suit, that there w petition filed, and that the d court, upon which the defendants base their claim to the property, wus void, the not having any jurisdiction in the matter until the suit hid been vroperly instituted. Claim of the Children. The children who deeded the property to Lindt also claim that they were induced in one way or another to part with their inter- est 1n their mother’s property for a price far below its actual value. Their portion, how- ever, is gone beyond recall, for they deeded it away of their own accord. ‘The property involved in the suits is scat- tered about in all pakts of the city and some of 1t has become quite valuable during the years that have intervened since it went into the hands of its present owners. FU TO THE DOORS, Boston Store Recelves the Biggest Con. signment of Dry Goods Ever Seen In Co il Blufrs, “What do you think of this for a ship- mentof dry goods?” was the question that grocted the ears of a BEE man as he passed the front doors of the Boston store yesterda afternoon. Messrs. Fotheringham and Whitelaw, the pro- prietors of the store, were both hard at word superintending the opening of dry goods boxes that were piled up in such profusion as hardly to leave walking room anywhere in front of the establishment. Karly in the morning they received a comsignment of three car loads of dry goods and notions that were just purchased from W. D. Rich- ardson & Co. of Rockford, Ill., and from 8 o'clock in the morning until 10 at night every clerk that% could be spared from waiting on the cus- tomers inside was hard at work trans- ferring the contents of the boxes to the interior. It was the largest lot of dry goods ever brought to Couneil Bluffs at one time, and represented a cash value of $39,000. It includes every conceivable kind of dry goods that the ladies of Council Bluffs can want, and will cause a sensation when it is laid open to the inspection and the pocket- books of the publi Messrvs. Fothering- ham, Whitelaw & Co. are making ar- rangements for a grand special sale one weozk from today, and this fine stock will be offered at that time.

Morse commenced a suit in the district court yesterday against J. C. Cole to collect damages on account of an unlucky horse trade which he made with the defend- ant last May. The horse he received from Cole was represented, he claims, to be free frow all imperfections, but it seem that Cole had guila in his heart at the time he was working up.the trade, Shortly after the trade was consummated Morse discovered that the animal was afiicted with glanders, and not only did he go to work and die, but before doing 8o pre- sented several other horses belonging to Morse with specimens of glanders bacteria, from which they raised a large crop. They also died, Morse wants a judgment for §00 against J. C. Cole, claiming that is the amount of the loss which he has suffered on account of the unlucky trade.

Unknown Young Woman Deliberately Shoots Herself in a Saloon. Shorfly before midnight last night a young woman walked into the saloon just north of No. 4 hose house and shot her- self in the breast. Help was immediately summoned and the would-be suicide was removed to a hospital There her life slowly ebbed away. At 3 o'clock she was dying, the end being but a matter of a few moments. There was nothing about her to indicate who she was. She was decently dressed, good looking, evidently about 22 years of age. No one had ever seen her before, She was unconscious from the time the pistol shot was fired, All efforts to identify her last night were futile. The police are eagerly searching for some clew to her identity. ———— OWNED BY ROYALTY. Emperor Willlam's and the Czar's Favorite Horses on Exhibition at the Falr. Cricaco, Aug. 18.—One of tha principal attractions at the World's fair next weck will be the parade of the favorite horses of Emperor William of Germany and those of the ezar of Russia. Each day these horses will be led through the principal streets of the White City by liveried grooms. Numerous complaints have been made to the World's fair officials on account of the orutality displayed at the sundance held by the Quackahl Indians last night, a report of which was contained in this morning's dis- patches. Inspite of the protests, the per- formance will be repeated on the lagoon between Machinery hall and Agricultural building next Thursday evening. The orchestra of 114 players, which wero sent notice last Saturday to quit playing to- morrow, nave sent a protest to Director General — Davis, sayiog they have been ecugaged for the entire period of the exposition; that they intend to pre- sent themselves every morning for duty and expect their pay just the same. Colonel avis sent the protest to the council of ad- jon and that body probably will refer it to the directory. It was the direc- tory which orderea the discharge of the musicians. The musicians have engaged an attorney. There was rare sport on the lagoon this afternoon. Swimming matches between natives of the many villages winding up with au internatioual swim was the program. Turks, Dahomeyans, Samoans and North Americans took part. The Dahomeyans provea themselves by far the best water dogs. A man named Santon Coyohl, the ahomeyan contestant, won the race. The prize was a double gold eagle, which the owner of Santon appropriated. The Da- homeyans are slaves in their native country. The good people in general are scandalized today that a prize fight actually took place last night in the World's fair grounds. The managers of the grounds of course know nothing &bout it. The fight took place in the stock pavilion. The principals were Patsy McDonald, an Irishman, and Joe Young, an Englishman. A lot of soldiers on duty on the grounds and a_number of sports were there. Eleven hot rounds were fought. McDonald was knocked ovt and the other fellow badly punished. G. A. R. RATES. Declslon of the Western Passenger Asso- oclation In the Matter. Cuicaco, Aug. 18.—At today's meeting of the Western Passenger association it was decided to sell to the visitors to the Grand Army of the Republic encampment at Indianapolis regular round trip tcket to Chicago and with them an extension ticket. The business will te handled in all respects the same as the World's fair trafiic. The Union Pacific today gave notice that next Sunday 1t would put in a £25 first-class rate from all Missouri river points between Kansas City and Sioux City to Butte, Helena, Portland and Spoicane. The second- class fare will be put at #18. The same first- class rate will apply eastbound, but there will be no second-class eastbound rate. The California rate committee submitted a prop- osition to the roads to make a £70 selling and $65 basing rate from California to the Mis- souri river. Tnis would mean a Chicago rate of $0. The Central Traftic association has an- nounced for the Grand Army of the Republic traftic open round-trip tickets may be sold at 1 cent per mile September 2, 8 and 4 in all Central Trafic association territory, and September 5 from points within 150 miles of Indianapolis, to be good only on date of sale, and returning September 16, No stopovers allowed, Union Pacific_Extenslons.

He opposed the bill and sug- gested the issue of $100,000,000 in groon- backs, which would, he said, go far towara restoring confidence. _ Defented the Amendment. After further discussion the vote was taken on Mr. Allen’s amendment, and it was rejected: Yeas, 11; nays, 89, ‘There were a good many pairs announced. The senators voting for the amendment were: Allen, Bate, Berry, Coke, Irby, Jones nsas, Kyle, Martin, Mills, Peffor and Senators George, Pugh and Vest said they would have voted aye if they had | not bee paired. - | The next question was on the amendment offered by Mr. Cockrell for the redemption at their face valuo and accrued interest of such 2 per cent bonds as may be presented for redemption and to issue greenbacks to pay for them, The amendment was opposed Sherman. He characterized it as an unb; nesslike transaction. The government could not now increase its demand liabilities. It would be unsafe to do it. The very fact that the government was increasing its liabilities by the pur- chase of silver ‘bullion had causcd the disturbance in London on account of the fear (at one time announced) that the certificates would be paid in_silver. That Ro.ch by Mr. government to maintain all its money at the stanaard value. Such a_proposition would shake the credit of the government. No one doubted the strength of the government, but it was unablo to_take new obligations now. What citizen, what bank would assume now obligations? ' Debts wero perilous now. Advocated by Cockrell, Mr. Cockrell replied to Sherman and advo- catod the amendment. He said there was no difference in the government's iiability between grecnbacks and national bank notes, because the holders of national bank notes could demand greenbacks for them and could then take gold. The question before the senate was whether the necessary in- crease of curreucy would be made by the government or through the banks. Mr. Hawley usked Mr. Cockre ally why he would stop at the £25,000,C00 of 2 per cent bonds the same principle to the debt?
