Among the many elaborate and ingenlous designs in the way of decorations to be seen about the city, special mention is due Sheriff Hazen for the artistic manner in which the county jafl was decorated under his super- vision. Nelther pains or expense were spared, many yards of multi-colored bunting and in- numerable flags and banners being artis- tically arranged about the entrance. Aunt Becky Young, the well known Woman's Relief corps member, was stand- ing at the corner of Broadway and Pearl strects last evening for a car when a rough Jooking fellow brushed up against her, and in an instant her pocket was picked, her purse and all the cash it contained, which was quite a sum, fallng into the clutches of the thief.

There were others who were busy, how- ever, for the inevitable wire pulling that accompanies such gatherings was visible all around the codges. The woods are full of candidates for the various offices, and every candidate, qf course, has his coterie of sup- porters, Thero was no meeting but in the afterncon the delegates got to- gother and went down to the opera house, where the opening session was held, with Department Commander Schaller presiding. The commander read his annual address, which was terse and well put together, and was greeted with applause by the conven tion, Ref department, A bill was last legislature which us the quarters we are now occupying as a headquarters for the department of lTowa Grand Army of the Republic. This bill alss included a liberal appropriation of $1,500 “for repairing, fitting and furnishing the same."” This work has been vigorously.prosecuted and is nearly completed. It gives me great pleasure to report that the department of Towa now has a headquarters, without ex- pense to the department, which, for com- fort, convenicnce and glegance, is sccond to none of our sister departments of the Grand Army of the Republic. Our thanks are due to the legislature and executive coun- cil of the state, and especially to Comrade Senator Andrews, who introduced the Dbill, and Comrade Lindt, who appeared before the senate committee in the interest of the bill becoming a law. The headquarters are now not only con- veniently arranged for the arduous dutles of the A. A. G. and A. Q. M. G., combined in one as they now are, but they are at- tractive and beautiful as well. Elegant oil paintings of Generals Crocker and Belknap grace the walls. The crayon portrait of General Tuttle has been presented by Crocker post, of which he was an honored and loved comrade. Crayon portraits of several of the past department commanders have also been received, and nearly all are promised in_the near future. The rich carpeting, the paintings, and por- traits, our beautiful department banuer in a glass case on the wall, the new furniture and furnishings of the best quality, place our headquarters on a par with the other offices in our state capitol, with any of which it compares favorably. The accomplishing of this has entailed a large amount of extra work, including the twice moving of everything pertaining to the oftice, but it has been gladly and cheerfully done in the interest of the comrades and the future of the department of Iowa. WOMEN'S RELIEF CORPS. The Women's Relief corps is holding its annual encampment at the same time with its masculine cousin, although the two or- ganizations are entirely distinct and the meetings are held separately. Yesterday af- ternoon the local corps exemplified the se- cret work at the hall of the Woodmen of the World, and many of the visitors wit- nessed the’ exercises. There are 1,008 voting members of the Relief corps in the state, and it is estimated that there are at least 300 here mow, With prospects of many more coming in today. The Ogden hotel, where the corps has its head- quarters, Is the scene of the same sort of clectioneering and general wirepulling when the meetings are not in session among the membel of the corps as among the veter- ans. The enthusiasm is just as marked, however, and when the final result is an- nounced’ the vietor will be fully as exuber- ant as thongh she were a lord of creation and had just been chosen department commander of the Grand Army. The principal office in the eorps is that of state president, and there are three can- Qdidates, Mrs. E. Flora Evans of Clinton, the present incumbent, Mrs. Wilson of Hull, and Mrs, Young of Sioux City. Which will be the lucky one it would be hard to say at this time. A meeting was expected te be held yes- terday afternoon at the First Baptist church, but for some reason or other it was post- poned until this morning at 9 o'clock, when the reports of officers will be read, the out- going president will make her address, and such other business as may be thought ad- visable taken up. 'The election of this and all other officers will take place Thursday. Among the notables who are attending the meeting of the Women's Relief corps are the following officers: E. Flora Evans of Clinton, president; Julla A. Young of Sioux City, senfor vice president; Ida E. Craig of Fort Madison, junior vice president; Aunt Becky Young of Des Molnes, chaplain; Al- thea 0. Conable of Clinton, secretary; Laura Creighton of Des Moines, treasurer; Mrs. M. A. Rummery of Clinton; chief aide. CAMP FIRES LAST EVENING. At the First Presbyterian church F. A. Sackett was the presiding officer. The audience room was well filled, and the exer- cises, while very long, were interesting. Mr. Clarence Judson opened with an organ voluntary, after which Rev. Patrick Smythe offered prayer. Major Hendershott and son, the former well known to all old soldiers as “the drummer boy of the Rap- pahannock,” played in the manner_ that has become familiar to all ¢hose who are in the abit of attending cimp fires, and were followed by Dr. E. S. Thomas in an ad- dress of welcome. Other addresses were made by Colonel Al Swalm of Oskaloosa, Judge H. E. Deemer of Red Oak and G. W. Lafterty of Oskaloosa. Miss Edyth Thomas of this city and Miss Tina Elliott of Mount Pleasant delivered recitations, and Miss Bessie Wicdensall played a violin solo. The Dudley Buck quartet of this city sang sev- eral selections and met with vociferous applause. The largest meeting of the evening and probably the one attended by the largest proportion of the old soldiers was the one at the opera house. This was filled to its utmost capacity, and the blue coats and brass buttons of the old soldiers were thickly sprinkled over the house. Frank acted as presiding officer. Ad- dresses were made by S. B. Wadsworth of Council Blufts, Judge Given of Des Moines, Phil Schaller, Hon. H. J. Stiger of Toledo and Judge Walter I Smith of Council Bluffs McFadden's Drum corps, Major Hender- shott and son, Miss Bessie Wiedensall and the Dudley Buck quartet furnished the music, and recitations were delivered by Misses Edith Thomas and Tina Elllott. At the Broadway Methodist church the veterans had a regular old-fashioned love feast of a time, and they filled every avail- able square foot of the large auditorium. It was the first of the camp fires to convene and the last to be dismissed. It was the inten- tion to limit each speaker to fifteen minutes, but many of them consumed an hour. The audlence caught thelr enthusiasm, and the time sped so quickly that 11 o'clock came before anybcdy was aware of it. All the preliminaries were gone through with with- out a break and with industrious fanning on the part of the crowd until Hon. C. M. Harl got well along in his speech of welcome and his silvery sentences began to awaken cheers. Then the enthusiasm began to bubble near the bolling point, and the clapping of hands came like an imitation of a battle. Mr. Harl was at h.s best, and the way he did arouse the veterans! His fifteen minutes grew into half an hour, and stlll the crowd would not and in the morning, rring to the new home of the Iowa he said: introduced and passed in the permanently assigned EWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: | of Des Moines came to mak behalf of the veterans he had caught the In- fection, and grew fervid in his eloquence and worked the comrades up to a still higher pitch. When he concladed Major Hender- shott and son of Chicago came out with thelir drums and fifo and msde the big church ring and rattle with the crash of war music. Addresses were made by Hon, B. F. Clayton, Hon. L. T. Genung and Past Deparment Chaplain Jesse Cole of Cherokee. Music was furnished by Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Atkins, Mise Ella Luring and Miss Grace Cole. EX-PRISONERS OF WAR. The program given by the Towa Unlon ex. Prisoners of War at Hughes' hall last even ing was deserving of a much larger house than turned out to listen to the old patriots talk over war stories and sing war songs, but the deficiency in the attendance did not have any perceptible effect in diminishing the enthusiasm with which the veterans e tered into the exercises. The heat was rathes oppressive, but those who remained through the evening were doubtless well pleased iet Tinley was chairman of the gather- ing, and the program opened with the Bat tle Hymn of the Republic, and was followed by the invocat'on vy the Rey. Father Smythe, Hon. Jesse Coleman delivered a very patri otic address, in which he expressed the opin. fon that it was the duty of every veteran before he dies to impress upon the young minds in such a way that will go down from generation to generation through posterity that we have had a great war, and that it was due to these veterans that the rising generation of today owe the many liberties they enjoy. His address contained many interesting anecdotes, and he held his auds. ence’s attention by his recital of the many trials and hardships onr country's defenders suffered on the march. Captain D. B. Maltby, on behalf of the city, lelievered a very cordial address of wel- come, extending to the Grand Army and our visitors the freedom of the city. Hon. Albert Head of Des Moines responded very fittingly and Mr. Abraham contributed an- other song, “Uncle Sammy's Fiddle,” in which he managed to ring in several local hits. Mrs. Ernestine Woodman cleverly gave a bit of Irish dialect, entitled, “Sandy Mec- Dowell's Signal.” Mrs. Woolman is too well known to the people of Council Bluffs and Omaha to require any further mention, and the visitors were not long In appreciating her elocutionary powers by generous ap- lause. As an encore, Mrs. Woodman gave wother little sketch, entitled “Pat and the Pig.” Owing to the inability of Hon. J. S. La- throp of Sioux City to be present, his place was filled by Mr. Curtls of Atlanta, and he delivered a very interesting narration of the awful pain and suffering experienced by those who were confined in the rebel prison pens. The address delivered by J. J. Stucco, sec- retary of the organization, was no exception to the general excellent character of Its orecedents. Mr. Abraham sang another song. he audience joined in the doxology and Rey. Farley delivered the benediction. Conspicuous on the street corners and on telephone poles in the business center of the city are red and blue signs, such as “Bull Run, Va.” “Atlanta, Ga.” and the like. “What s that for?” asked a bystander, pointing to the ‘Atlanta” sign yesterday morning. “Why, that's where Hoke Smith lives,” was the quick reply of a one-legged democrat. And the sarcasm of the remark was apprecated by all who heard it. LINE OF MARCH. This afternoon at 2 o'clock will occur the big parade. This will bring large crowds to the city, and every road is preparing to take care of them. Some of the roads will bring in special trains, and it is confidently expected that the attendance will be twice or three times as large as now. The parade will form on South Sixth, Seventh and Eighth streets, with the right of each rest- ing on Broadway. Commencing at the corner of Broadway and Eighth street, it will pass up Broadway on the north side of the street to First street, countermarching on the south side of the street back to Fourth street. There it will be reviewed by the department commander and his stafl. From the review- ing stand the line will extend down Fourth street to Willow avenue, west to the corner of Seventh street; north to First avenue, and east to Bayliss park, where the parade will disband. In the evening there will be fireworks and a lantern drill by the Dodge Light guards and the High school cadets. These two organizations will have charge of the fire- works. The darill will take place on the street near the corner of Broadway and Fourth street at 9:30 o'clock this evening, and the display of fireworks will be at the same time and place. Members of the companies are requested to meet at armory at 8 o'clock. The fire department will make an exhibi- tion run this evening at 7:30 o'clock. All four companies will be called out simul- tancously to the corner of Broadway and Eighth streets. Sure to Prove Interesting. Today's parade will be witnessed by thou- sands from all parts of the city, county and state and has been estimated from good authority to be one of the greatest days Council Bluffs has ever experienced on any such gathering, but the excitement don’t end here. One of the greatest attractions, and which is sure to prove interesting to many Is the Boston Store surplus sale, which {s now going on.

FOTHERINGHAM, WHITELAW & CO., Council Bluffs, Ta. The Bond Was Vitiated. The trial of Adolph Rachwitz on the charge of burglarizing freight cars was completed yesterday In the district court. The latter end of the trial was disastrous for the defendant's chance of being ac- quitted, for Marks came in and called at- tention’ to his private mark, woven in the goods, which Rachwitz' relatives testified were given to them as wedding presents. Just after the case was given to the jury, at 5 o'clock, the county clerk appeared in court and asked that the bonds, amounting to $500, which had been given by Mrs. Rachwitz as security for the appearance of her son, be declared void. He had been looking over the records and found that after filing the bonds Mrs. Rachwitz had executed a mortgage on all her property for $800 in favor of John Lindt, the attorne for her son. The court on this showing made the order, and Rachwitz, before he knew It, was grabbed by a deputy sheriff and hustled off to jail. the response on Grand Plaza telephone 4 Grand Plaza bathing beach.

Some DiMculty Encountered In Establish L PACIFIC JUNCTION, Ia., June 19.—(Spe- clal to The Bee)—Mills county Is being greatly worked up over the effort of several saloon men to establish saloons in different places throughout the county under the new mulet law, and a mass meeting was held at the county seat last week denouncing the effort and requesting the city council of Glenwood to refuse to grant a license. Tt is claimed that the petition which has been circulated in the eastern end of the county for signers contained the name of George Anderson as the man who wanted to run a saloon, but that subsequently his name was erased after a number of signatures had been obtained and another substituted. Anderson formerly conducted a saloon in this town, and A number of signatures were obtained through the influence of his name, so it is claimed. A big effort is being made to start a saloon here, but it is doubtful whether a building could be rented for that purpose, even if the requisite number of signers were forthcoming.
