The marshal made the first move when he raided a gambling house the other evening. The next day the chiet ordered all wine rooms closed. The mar- #hal came back at him with an order for all poker rcoms, public_and private, in the city to closed up. ow the chief goes him one better with an order doing away with screens, 8o that hereafter when any cne wishes to admire the frescoing on th loon cuilings through the bottom of a plate glass schooner he will have to take the public into The conflict now being waged between the two departments of the city government 18 becoming decidedly interest- ing, and the new mulct law give opportunity for them to ring in a g.od many changes before the list of possibilities is exhausted. It will therefore be some time most likely, before either party has to “call the other and admit that he is worsted in the law and morality fracas. It is stated that the next move of the city marshal will be to order the saloons to close at 11 o'clock at night and on Sund After the present warlare has been completed and the saloon men liave had their noses sufficiently ground, it will be comforting for the official whose play it is to remember that it Is always possible for him to promote the interests of good morals by ordering the park commiz- sioners to entronser the little boys who have been about to take a plunge bath In the Bay- s park basin for the last four year Free Enjoyment at Manawa. Since the change in the arrangements at Lake Manawa has been made, whereby an admission fee is charged into the grounds of Mr. Reed, the impression has gone abroad that Mr. Reed's grounds compose all the frontage on the east side of the lake, and that patrons of Lake Manawa, to enjoy the advantages and attractions of this beautiful resort, are compelled to contribute 10 cents to get to the water front. The fact, how- over, is that Mr. Reed owns or controis only a very small portion of the lake frontage, something like 600 feet, and his enclosure occupies only a hlock and a half of ground, as laid out and platted in the town of Man- awa. Mr. B. Marks s the owner of nearly a mile of lake frontage east of the pavilion, on which the Manhattan Beach Improvement company has erected a dock, In close prox- imity to the Reed enclosure, and run a line of steamboats to and from their beach, di- rectly opposite. Boats make ten-minute trips, and the fare, since the Manhattan Beach Improvement company obtained con- trol of the boats, has been reduced to 5 cents cach way, making the boat ride 10 cents for the round trip. The Manhattan Beach Im- provement company's grounds comprise cighty acres of.land and have a lake front- age of one-half mile, covered the en- tire distance with a natural sandy beach, the only natural beach in the west. There are several beautiful groves on their land, which afford picnickers and campers a delightful place for enjoying themselve: The water toboggan slides, which have proved a source of much amusement in sea- sons past, will be in operation this season, and all free of charge. No admission fee charged. The grounds and groves are free to the public, and patrons of the lake are invited to take advantage of these privi- leges and have a good time. Louic Renard has secured the dock pa- vilion on the beach and fitted up a first- class restaurant in it. Short order meals will be served at all hours at reasonable prices. Any one can get a good meal for thirty-five cents, and have it well served. The management intends to run the place the same as heretofore, strictly first-class in every respect, and give the public amuse- ment at little cost. Pawned His Pension Papers. Claus Thompson, who has recently been refused permission to run a saloon across the street from the Broadway Methodist church, had another stroke of bad luck yes- terday as the result of a rather unique ar- rangement he is claimed to have had with William Wright, an old soldier, living in this city. Wright has a pension, and he also has an abnormally developed thirst, Fearing that the time might come when he would not have money enough to Keep the alcoholic commissary filled, he put up Lis pension certificate each month with Thompson, there being an understanding be- tween them that the saloon keeper was to furnish him three drinks of hLis faverite beverage each day throughout the quarter. This, it is said, was practiced regularly by the saloon keeper and his customer, until a short time ago the United states uuihori- tles got wind of the proceedings. By the government statutes it is made a serious oftense for any one to take pension pajers as security for liquor bills, and an informa-~ tlon was flled before Clerk Steadman of tle of federal court, upon the strenzch of which Thompson was arrested late yesterday after- noon. He gave bonds for his appeasance next Monday for a preliminary neuring. On Thursday, June 14, the Apollo club of Omaha, assisted by Mr. F. H. Adelman and a string quartet, will give a concert in Dohany's opera house for the benefit of Grace church.

Charles Kohnnodle and Charles Miller, it 1s now learned, are the names under which Charles Johnson, the man arrested by Sher- ift Hazen for horso stealing, has gone at different times. Sheriff Hazen and J, W. Templeton, the owner of heé stolen horse, went to Casey yesterday, having learned that the horse was there. Kohnnodle scems to have been an inveterate thief, and the officials know they have not yet learned all about his crooked dealings, although they know more than will be comfortable for him when his case comes up in court. He stole a saddle, which has been identified as the property of John Zimmerman, near Oakland, It was located in Stuart, Ia, When he was arrested he had in his possession a saddle, harness, cart, and mare, which is said to have been stolen Sunday night from a farmer near Oakland, but the owner has not yet put in an appearance.

DISCUSSES CHARTERS, COUNC Another Evening Devoted to the Question ot i % 0 Rond to Manawa. The city council held a special meeting last evening for the purpose of considering the Manawa motor franchise and other items Mayor Cleaver occupied the the aldermen were pre.ent in of importance. chair and all undress un'form The bill of H. P. Niles for for a dog that became a member of the poundmaster’s family was not allowed. In regard to the request liquor dealers to be exempt ment of the monthly tax of $27.10 required from the salcon keepers by the city, the city attorney gave it as his opinfon that the dis- ®tinction could be made providing the ordin- ance be first amended, The matter was re- ferred to the council, to be considered at a meeting this evening. A protest was read from twenty property owners on South Sixth street against allow- ing the Council Bluffs & Like Manawa Electric Motor company the right to lay its of the wholesale from the pi tracks on that street. It stated that the line would not be used more than four months in the year, and would therefore destroy Sixth street as a driveway without furnishing better transportation for the peo- ple living there. On motion of Alderman Brewick the protest was placed on file E. H. Odell, on behalf of the company stated that he had anticipated this actio on the part of the citizens, and asked per mission to amend the proposed charter, 80 as to take the line on Sixth street only from Sixteenth avenue to Dighteenth avenue, east on Righteenth avenue to Fourth street, and south on Fourth street to the city limits. James McCabe was granted permission to make some remarks on the subject of grant- ing the charter, and proceeded to brand the new company as merely the old Council Bluffs & Omaha Bridge company in a new face. In view of the long, troublesome and expensive litigation the city had been com- pelled to undergo with the bridge comy he thought the city should refuse to gra it any more privileges, He suggested sev eral changes to be made in the ordinance That the company be required to lay its tracks at the established grade, and on streets where the grade is not established to conform to the surface of the street or at such an elevation as the council may direct; that It be required to furnish a 5-cent fare from any part of Council Bluffs to Manawa at least during the last part of the life of the charter; and that some adequate pen- alty be prescribed for the violation of any of the terms of the charter. Dr. Isadore Gluck, one of the incorpor- ators of the company, made a few remarks in which he denied emphatically that the new company had the slightest conuection with the old. His company expected to build a road at an expense of $15,000, and to get power from the Bridge company, 50 long as such an arrangement could be made satisfactorily. Mr. Odell called Mr. McCabe's attention to the fact that the Bridge company already had a charter on all the streets and alleys cf the city, and would not be apt to come in and ask for'a new charter if it had any connec- tion with the present scheme. He had been trying for two years to induce the Bridge company to extend its line to Manawa, and had failed, and this led to the organization of _the new company. Mayor Cleaver said he thought the com- pany scemed inclined to do the fair thing and if Council Bluffs ever expected to pro- gress it must do so by meeting such enter- prises half way. The matter was finally referred to the. committee of the whole, to meet this morn- ing at 9 o'clock with the representatives of the company to put the charter in shape that would be satisfactory to all. J. Abbott presented the council with a request from the committee on the Grand Army encampment that the city would take some action toward seeing that suitable decorations were arranged next week. The council appointed ftsclf a committee to look after the matter, and some action will most likely be taken this evening. GIVEN THEIR SHEEPSKINS, Fifty-Two Young People Take the First Degree on Their Way to an Education. The stage at Dohany's opera house never presented a fafrer picture than last evening, when it held the class of '94 of the Council Bluffs High school. Fifty-two young peo- ple, clad in gala costume, particularly when two-thirds of the number are young ladies, ought to be enough to make any platform fascinating, but the florist and decorator in addition had done thelr work so skillfully that the whole was wrought into a charm- ing scene which will always be remembered with feelings of pleasure, or at least until a year from now, when the class of '95 has had its chance to throw all its predecessors into the background. The large audience room was packed to the utmost. Every seat in the whole house was occupied, extra chairs were brought in and still a hundred or £o had to stand. The warmth of the evening brought the poor ventilation of the house into bold relief, and fans only created a warm breeze. Notwith- standing all this the audience listened with the deepest interest to the words of wisdomn that fell from the lips of the youthful grad- uates, and fond fathers, mothers and triends were proud of them. The following program will give an idea of what the audience was given in the way of entertainment: High school orchestra, American cadet march; oration, *“Defect in Modern Civili- zation,” Rosa Drake; oration, “The Master of Dialect Poetry,” Lillle Chernlss; oration, “Accepting the Verldet,” Henry J.

Schoentgen; oration, ‘“Louls Kossuth," Mamie Norene; double quartet, “Sercnade,” Franz Abt; oration, ““The High School,” Mit tie Pile; oration, “‘International Arbitration," Ralph Mueller; singing of class song. The literary parts of the program were so uniformly good that it would be hard to pick out the best. If any of the speakers de- served special mention, however, it would be Clarence Capell, Miss McKenzie, Miss Boesche, Mr. Sayles and Mr. Green. The musical 'portions of the program also were very good, the S. Y. B. quartet acquitting themselves nobly, and the High school or- chestra, under the direction of Miss Claire Chamberlain, playing several selections In a most excellent manner, It considerably after 11 o'clock when the curtaln was rung down for the last time, but in spite of the lateness of the hour and the many disad- vantages under which the audience labored, the exercises were voted a great success.

Blaine. We beleive that the hope of labor lles in the success of the republican party and the predominance of the republican prin- ciples, and, believing this, we extend an earnckt invitation to all artisans, mechan- skilled and unskilled laborers, to join Republican leazue and more closely themselves with the party whose fon is their prot n and tior We Lelieve in the protection and purity of the American ballot box and demand the fullest recoenition of I rights in the exercise of the privileges of American citizenship. We favor a pension policy generous and just to the surviving union vete the widows and orphans of th comrades. 5 We welcome to our shores all God-fe fng, liberty-loving, law-abiding, labor-seck- ing’ men, but we insist upon the enuct- ment of' such legislation as will prevent the immigration of the viclous anc m- inal classes of laborers under contract or of paupers and anarchists. We arrajgn the democratic party of the United State: son to American interests; for 5 atian pol- icy; for the repeal of the federal election Jaw, consummating the conspiracy to d prive the colored man of the south of the protection afforded in the exercise of his constitutional rights; for the insult and injustice of its pension bureau to union soldiers and for its proposed free trade legishation, the fear of which has al- ready paralyzed American indus les- sened the opportumtics of Americ destroyed the market for the producers of American factories and sct thousands of men, hopeless and helpless, to wande: and ‘down the land, and for its nabili successfully solve any of the problem essive, popular government. adopt the declaration of the last na- tional convention that “the American peo- ple favor bimetallism and the republican demands the use of both gold and oney.” And we submit that further or more specific declaration on this subject should be left to the' elected repr tives of the republican party in state convention assembled. We appeal to the loyalty and patriotism _of every true Amer to assist us in turning that party to power, which will stand In the future as it has always stood in the past—for the welfare and honor of otr common country and the glory of its unconquered flag.
