On Sale but Overlooked. Notwithstanding the care taken in any business, it is a certainty that some certain lines of werchandise will be overlooked. This ihas been demonstrated beyond a doubt at our May sale that the smaller articles have not had the proper attention. Now that we have come to it, you may ‘expect some useful and desirable ‘articles at funexpected low prices, as a visit to our show (windows will prove fo you that owr state- Jment s not aitogether without foundation. We refer you to the special prices and fAisplay of the following windows: Ribbons ‘and laces, soaps, toilet articles and station- ery, notlons of every description, and in the east window, display of children's gauze (underwear, all sizes, at 100 each, worth as high as 35 FOTHERIN HAM, WHITELAW & CO., Council Bluffs, Ia, Domestic soap outlasts cheap soap. Meyers-Durfee Furniture company, 336-338 Broadway. Bargalns in fine furniture, Manawa is All Right. Manawa trains made regular trips yester- day forenoon for the first time this season, and they carried large crowds of people, who were curious to see the character of im- provements that have been made to lend ad- ditional attractions to the pleasure resort. That the work already accomplished met the approval of all visitors was evidenced by the hearty expressions of pleasant surprise heard on every side. The new Manawa bears little resemblance to the old, and it will be more than ever the objective point of all who de- sire a first-class pleasure resort. The new pavilion was warmly praised. The work of bullding the new bath houses will be com- menced today, and the bathing season will open next Saturday, if the weather s suit- able.

M. Bennett Receives Fatal Injuries While Filling u Stove. Mrs. L. M. Bennett, wife of the night watchman for the Wabash Railway com- pany, was fatally hurt last evening by an explosion of gasoline at her home on South Scventh street. She was filling a gasoline stove while it was alight, and the explosion, which might have been expected, followed. The blazing liquid was thrown all over her, and her clothing caught fire and was burned off before aid could be given. She was ter- ribly burned from head to foot, and last evening her physician stated that she could not live, The rddefoot. Rev. W. G. of New York cupied the pulpit of the First Congregational church yesterday morning and evening. In fact, he filled the pulpit, which, in view of Dr. Askin's elcquent pastorate, is no little task. Mr. Puddefoot sustained his reputa- tion as “‘the inimitable,” and both discourses were decidedly unique. His purpo:e was to arouse interest and secure money for the home mission work, but those who have a natural aversion to the cause and attach a certain mustiness to the very word ‘‘mis- sion’” were most happily surprised to hear the cause for once, at least, presented with a freshness which was charming. His word pictures of life on the frontier, in the lum- ber and mining regiors, and in the boom towns of this rapidly developing country, were characterized by such faithfulness of detail and minglings of humor and pathos that laughter and tear: had a close race. Those who heard his morning sermon came again in the evening and brought their friends, so that the church was crowded to the limits. He said that he other Sunday, in one of the rich churches where he was cilled to preach, the choir sang “Comfort Ye Zion.” He said he felt like telling them to stop singing it, not but what he enjoyed the music, for it was first-rate, but Zion didn't need comforting. She was the most comfort- able old body to be found anywhere. What Zion needed was a shaking up, so that she would realize her duty. His descriptions of the heroic lives and sacrifices of those who were seeking o establish churches in the newly settled parts of this country evidently accomplished what he deemed this desirable shaking up of Zion, so far, at least, as this little portion within the hearing cf his voice was concerned. In urging activity, he took occasion to criticise the theology in such hymns as “Simply Clinging to the Cros.” A Ch tian who simply clung to the cross, as shown in the familiar picture, with the waves dashing all around, was pretty sure to slip off and get drowned. Scngs of this sort were good enough for those who wanted to be wafted to heaven on flowery beds of ease, but they were the product of such men as Moody and Sanky, good men, and all right, but Christians should rather listen to the words of Moody and Sanky's Master, who said: “Inasmuch as ve have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me,” which were the words chosen for his text.

BENNISON BROS., Council Bluffs. Gas cooking stoves for rent and for sale at Gas Co's office. Yarr Goes Herman Parr was acquitted by the jury in the district court at Glenwood at a late hour Saturday night, after being out for six hours. Parr's case has been the subject of much interest ever since the tragedy at the crossing of the motor line and the Burling- ton railway about a year ago, in which E. F. Holman met his death. Parr's arrest in the first place was considered by many as largely due to the high state of feeling in the public mind at that time against the motor company and every one connected with it, and the fact of his being granted a change of venue to Glenwood was the result of the same state of affairs. The verdict meets with almost universal approval, A few of the celebrated Hurd apartment house refrigerators left at Cole & Cole's, and going at the lowest prices ever offered.

They accordingly u{\- toed up to a gentleman who happened to be standing In front of a Pearl strect joint and asked him to put them on to the combination. “Go to that front door and tap it twice this way,” sald he, “and then go around to that side door there very carefully and tap twice again. Then stand there for a couple of minutes and they'll come and let you in, it they think you're all righ Th two young men knccked at the front door, and then edged thelr way around to the side door with the look of a couple of fellows who had been officiating at a sheep stealing sciree. They were just about to “tap twice and wait a couple of minutes," when some one who knew the ropes a little better than they walked right in past them They followed suit, and by the time the couple of minutes had elapsed they had put themeelves on the outside of the longed for lager. They probably know more about the beauties of mulct liquor laws now than they dld awhile ago. Evans Laundry Col 620 Pearl street. Twilight Services. The custom of having an early evening service was inaugurated last evening at St Paul's church, and will be followed during the month of June. The sermon was dis- pereed with entirely, and the service short- ened so as to admit of the exercis being finished before it came time for gas light- ing. The music by the surpliced cholr was a’ important feature, among the selections rendercd being “Magnificat” and “Nune Dini- ittis” in A flat, by A. H. Mann, and “'Send Out Thy Light,” by Gounod. All the se- lections were finely rendered by the choir. Domestle soap breaks hard water. Commencement with the Mutes.

The class this year numbers fourteen candidates for di- plom The exercises of this institution are always regarded with a great dewl of interest by the public, and there will doubt- less be a great many visitors from the city. pa - AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA. A long procession, gay with flags, em- broidered banners, flowers and handsome uni- forms, formed at Pivonka's hall on Twenty- fourth street yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The occasion was the celebration of the for- tieth anniversary of the organization of the Bohemian Slavonic Benevolent society in America. The members of the society of this city and Omaha headed the procession, followed by the Bohemian Foresters of both cities, the Bohemian gymnastic societies and other organizations. The procession marched to Brown park and at Franek's new hall the exercises of the day began. The Vlastimil Singing so- ciety opened the program with a native song Mr. John Berka made a short impromptu speech, which was followed by the oration of the day by Mr. John Rosicky, the editor of the Pokrok Zapadu. He spoke briefly of the history of the society, how it was or- ganized soon after the emigration of his people began to this country, so that they might keep alive the remembrance of their old home, although they had adopted a new land. He spoke of the rapid increase in the number of the societies during the last few years, there now being 202 societies, with a membership of 12,000. There are twenty-four societies in this state, making it the next to the banner state, Tllinois having a few more. Singing by the Viastimil society brought the exercises to a close. After the celebration a grand ball was given at the hall, where immense crowds congregated and enjoyed themselves until a late hour. ight. Ike Brayton and Harry Jacobs, commission men at the stock yards, each has a goat which he has been telling could “lick” any- thing that came along. The other fellow about the exchange building became tired of hearing Brayton and Jacobs bluft each other on propositions of a goat fight, so ar- rangements were made Friday ~afternoon whereby the two “billy boys” could come together. All the horses were ordered off the quarter-mile track at the yards and the proprietors of the two goats were instructed to bring on their scrappers. Jim Jones said he would go behind Brayton’s goat and Ed Cullen consented to second Jacob's buck. Everything was made ready and about 200 stock men surrounded the circle. Council- man Walters was selected as referee and time was called. The animals were allowed to fight about thirty minutes and it was the hottest contest that has taken place at the vards for a long time. Between rounds Jones and Cullen bathed the whiskers of thelr favorites, and, although considerable money was placed, the match was declared a draw. It is not unlikely that a finish match will take place soon, as each owner is willing to bet that his buck can win. Some Cars Burn. A fire alarm was turned in from near the Rock Island depot in Albright yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock. The fire was found to be in some box cars. They were such a Qistance from the fire hydrant that over 1,600 feet of hose had to be laid before they could be reached and the firemen had a hard job to get the fire out. Three cars were totally nsumed and three others were badly corched. The fire caught from some straw and refuse near the track, supposed to have been lighted by some tramps. The damage amounted to about §1,800. Magie Clty Gosxip. Children's day will be celebrated in this city next Sunday at most of the churches. S. A.

R TRIAL, TI0WA MURD Out of Penltentiary for Theft and Arraigned for Murder. CEDAR RAPIDS, June 3.—(Special Tele- gram to the Bee)—In the district court at Anamosa the coming week will be tried one of the most Interesting cases which has ever engaged the attention of the court of Jones county, the case of the state against Emmet Seymour for the murder of George P. Fi- the field, his father-in-law. Shortly after marriage of Seymour to Fifiell's daughter the old gentleman was found one evening Iylng on the railroad tracks near his home in an unconscious condition. He had been struck on the head by some blunt instrument and died without regaining consciousness. A few months later Sevimour was discovered in the act of stealing lumber after night. Upon further investigation it was found he had been the chief actor in a long series of petty stealing which had long perplexed Anamosa business men. The discovery of these crimes and the fact that the stolen property was concealed about Seymour's house caused people to think that the here- tofore unsuspicioned man had been the cause of Fifield’s death, the supposition being that Fifield had discovered Seymour's crime and threatened his exposure. Sey- mour was tried for various thefts and sent to the pen for three years. That sentence having been seryed he is- now to be tried for murder. Some sensational testimony is promised and the case will at all events be an exceedingly interesting one. e e WESTERN PENSIONS. Veterans Who Have Heen Recently Remem- bered by the Gederal Government.
