Then came the ex & business of the day, the select'on of a place for the nest | encampment. Sioux City and Clinton were the main candidates, and delegates from various portions of the state extolled the good qualities of the two cities for over an | hour, ~ Efforts were made to postpone the election until today, but it was defeated When the result was announced Clinton carried off the f by a big majority, | whereat a representative of Sioux City saii “We'll ro up to Clinton next year, sit | on your lumber piles and eat your hard tack." | This ended the 2 of the day and an until stormy meeting at 4 o'clock in_the afterncon in the First Baptist church. It was behind closed doors, and of course it cannot be told just what took place, but it is learned from interested parties that there was a great deal of excitement. It was the intention of the women to elect all their officers, but it took so much more time than had been an- ticipated that the only thing accomplished was the election of the president. As al- ready stated by The Bee, there were three candidates prominently mentioned in con- nection with the place, one of them being Mrs. Flora Evans of Clinton, who held the office last year. There were a good many members of the corps who did not want her re-clected, and they thought they had suc- cecded in splking her guns, but when it came to a showdown they learned that they had been outgeneraled, for after several hours of wire pulling, not to say hair pull- adjournment w this morning, | | when five memt of the council of ad- [ ministration will be chosen, the reports of | officers will be received and the fncoming | officers will be installed.

The financial affairs are in a very flourishing . condition. Amount of cash ex- | pended on relief during the year, $4.240.96 which other than money, $5496.16, which is cer- tainly a good showing. There has been a gain of 473 members. Reports of various cefved and acted upon. After the presentation of a few reports, Mrs. Conable, department secretary, arose and in bebalf of Commander Schaller, pre- sented Mrs. Evans with a handsome gavel, conveying in a manner his appreciation of her efforts to further the interest of the Grand Army of the Republic. Mrs. Rummery of Clinton corps No. 10 then came to the platform and presented Mrs. Evans, in behalf of her staff and the department ' aides, an elegant silver coffes urn. Mrs. Evans expressed her thanks and ap- preciation for these gifts fn a few well chosen words. When the hour for the parade arrived there was a sweltering atmosphere, the sun shining out of an unclouded sky in a way that brought the perspiration to the surface and sent visions of liquid refreshments hust- ling through the brain even of the most ardent prohibitiontst among the old soldiers. One feature of the parade that was unpleas- ant alike to the men who marched and to the thousands of citlzens who stood along the side of the streets on which the proces- sion passed, was the fact that 2:30 o'clock, the hour at which It started, was about the | hottest in the entire day. Many of the old soldiers preferred to look on than take an active part in the parade, and yet the line was long and enthusiastic. FORMATION OF THE LINE. A platoon of police was followed by six companies of United States regulars from Fort Omaha, under command of General Brook and headed by the band from the fort, which, with its b atiful uniforms and bril- liant music, made a great addition to the procession. The regulars, one company of whom was composed of Indians, executed some very skillful military_maneuvers while marching, _Then came Dalbey's band of Council Blufts, followed by a large company of Sons of Veterans from Missouri Valley. The Omaha - Guards, with their white trousers, mude somothing of a departure | from the regulation blue uniform, and with the Thurston Rifles of Omaha did some very | clever work. Then came the Missourl ley band, followed by the members of the Grand Army of the Republic. Much as platform orators are accustomed to bewail the fact that the old soldiers are dropping off and that the thing of going to encampments will soon be a thing of the past, vesterday's parade proved one thing to the satisfaction of all, and that was, that it will be several years yet before encamp- ments will go out of style for lack of men to go to them. Now and then one would be seen whose form was a little bent with age and whose limbs tottered a trifle as he walked, but most of them looked as hale and hearty as possible, while the vigor with which they vociferated their camp calls and their army songs as they passed along bore evidence that scmething besides consumption would have to take them off The Grand Army boys were frequently in- terspersed with drum corps, the one under the lead of Wall McFadden, the well known bass drum virtuoso of this city, being worthy of especial mention. Major Hendershott, the “drummer boy of the Rappahannock,” acecm- panied by his son, who is something of & boy himself by this time, attracted a good deal of attention, the major handling the sticks with all of his old time vigor and skill. The rising generation also had its place in | the parade, the Council Bluffs contingent | being represented by the Dodge Light Guards | and the High school eadets. Both of these organizations are finely uniformed and splendidly drilled, and their appearance as they marched along the street was the s gnal for frequent outbursts of applause. Abe Lin- coln post of Council Bluffs and Crocker post of Omaha brought up the rear. The line of march was somewhat changed from that published In the official program, which, by ‘the way, has turned out fo be anything but an official program throughout the encampment. The reviewing stand was erected at the intersection of Broadway and Fourth street, and from it Department Com- mander Phil Schaller and his staff viewed | the procession as it countermarched down Broadway. Hats were lifted and salutations xchanged on both sides, and the old call of “Here's yer mule,” brought forth an occa- sional cheer. FIFTEEN HUNDRED IN LIN Commander Schaller, after it was all over and the vets had disbanded, stated to a Bee reporter that the parade was fully as large committees were re- | George A.

This is something | to be proud of, inasmuch as the railroads, | | with thelr usual discrimination agatnsi | Council Blufts, furnished a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip this year, | a» compared with & rate of oue faie every | year previous. The hard times, together with this unjust discrimination, might reasonably have been expected to reduce the attendance, but It is estimated that thers were at least 1,500 Grand Army men in the parade. Some criticism was heard of the action of sgime one, it Is not known just whom, In agt a0 vha Ay, Goms res o5, i2 the reviewing stapd In the kind rlage was all right, but each of the horses bore an Immense blankst, annguncing the fact that the rig wa frof thé “Down in the heel livery stable.” The committee might not have been responsible for this exhibtlon of bad taste, and it s to be hoped It was not. The operation of handshaking had not be- come monotonous at the close of the second day, and there were no prospects that it would immediately. t evening one en- thusiastic member of the Woman's Rellef corps, who had put In a day of it, came up to a friend, and, exhibiting a glove with the palm all worn out, exclalmed: “There, see what I've done, just shaking hands.” She was not the only one. One of the amusing features of the day n the streets of an old ms the name of Merriam es that he has figured out was the appearance gentleman who ¢ and who annou an entirely new system of politics, religion and economics. He ran up to an aged vet- eran who was sitting quietiy In a doorway and commenced elucidating his ideas, and the veteran listened fn patience, without saying ah, yes or no. Finally the old man said “Well, I've been looking for a man that's got wmore wheels in his head than I hav and 1 guess I'll take you. I've got three wheels myself."” Gus Heisler of the 112th Pennsylvania heavy artillery and a member of the Abe Lincoln post of this city, made a rather unique banner, consisting of an ordinary broom, bearing the portrait of General Fitz- patrick on one side and General Benjamin Harrigon on the other. One somewhat interesting thing about the senfor and junfor vice commanders, J. C. Milliman and General W. W. Ellis, is that the former has but one arm and the latter but one leg. No matter which of these gentlemen have to take charge of the de- partment in case of the disability of De- partment Commander Newman, something Is sure to be miss'ng. DECORATIONS WENT FLYING. About 7 o'clock | ening a_storm came up, which spe sent the decora- tions on the streets flying. The wind blew 1 the weather became that the Hopes of fires the best of and the rain fell, a s0 disagreeable generally making the closing camp the lot went glimmering. The meeting at the Presbyterian church was not attended by more than twenty-five persons, and it was decided to adjourn to the opera hou The opera house was the recruiting point of the old soldiers, and was filled to its full- est capacity, every seat being occupled and 100 people standing in the aisles. Dr. F. S. Thomas presided. After invocation by Rev E. J. Babcock, Miss Myrtle Parks of Water- 100, Neb., sang two solos and had to respond to an_ encore each time. Judge George Carson delivéred an address of wel- come, which was responded to by Colonel Miss Bessie Weidensall of Council Bluffs rendered a violin solo, after which Dr. R. Hutchins of Des Moines stepped before the footlights and with an eloquent speech presented J. J. Steadman, past department commander, a magnificent silver service, on behalf of the department of Iowa. Colonel Stead- man accepted the compliment with his usual grace, putting himself (and his wife as well) on record as favoring free silver and plenty of it, at least in a case of this kind. His reference to Abaham Lincoln was received with cheers and applause from the vets. The Dudley Buck quartet sang “The Ar- tillerits” oath and being recalled sang a song. GENERAL DODGE TALKS. After two recitations by Miss Edyth Thomas, General G. M. Dodge read a pro- duction in which he indulged largely in reminiscences of the war. His account of an interview with President Lincoln was highly interesting, and his warm personal friendship throughout the war for Generals Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and others gave rise to nurherous anecdotes, which were listened to with the most rapt attention. Grant, he sald, was so constituted as to care little for small things, but when great crises arose he always arose to the mastery of them. After the Dudley Buck quartet had sung another selection, “The Vacant Chair,” Judge Given made a speech. Mrs. Wollman °d the program with a recitation, and when the audience clo; it was after 11 o'clock left the building. Members of the Army of the Potomac who had made arrangements to hold their camp fire last evening in the Grand Army of the Republic hall were obliged to give up the program they had arranged and divided themselves up among the other gatherings about the city. The wind storm was re- sponsible for their disappointment, the direct cause being the breaking of an electric light wire by a falling branch of a tree, and thereby cutting off the lighting facilities of the hall. Those who attended the camp fire at the Broadway Methodist church were well re- paid for venturing out in the rather dis- agreeable weather by being privileged to listen to a most excellent program. Mr. E. R. Fonda acted as chairman, and Miss Ella Luring commenced the entertainment with an organ voluntary. Rev. Dr. E. G. Snyder gave the invocation. On account of the weather, it was neces- sary to make a few changes in the program, but all the numbers given were of a very high order. Major Hendershot and son of Chicago were expected to give their drum music, but were unable to attend, and Mr. Fonda introduced four comrades from Des Moines, who entertained the audience with camp firc songs, and the Washington Avenue School Boy quartet also sang several selec- tions. Hon. Jacob Sims delivered a very eloquent address of welcome to the guests, which was responded to with equal feeling by one who needs no Introduction to the people of Coun- cil Bluffs, Judge J. C. Hubbard of Des Moines. Miss Tina Elliott, who appeared in the place of Miss Ida Craven of Marshalltown, won generous rounds of applause for her splendid rendition of her recitation, “Wild Zinderella,” and gave as an encoro “Banty Tim.” She also sustained the good impression she created again later in the evening. Hon. W. M. McFarland was the next speaker, and his excellent and very interest- ing address was followed by another selec- tion by the Washington Avenue quartet, and the addresses of Mr. R. R. Randall and of Dr. E. A. Guilbert of Dubuque. Dr. Snyder pronounced the benediction. All of the speeches were of a cellent nature, the moisture out having no effect upon the ardor of the speakers, and those who took part in the exercises. It is to be greatly regretted that a larger audience was not present to enjoy them. most ex- of doors The Boston Store Parade. tens of thousands who witnessed the big parade yesterday were highly de- lighted, and the thousands who thronged all departments of the Boston Store were benefited as well as delighted by the great parade of bargains.

MYERS-DURFEE FURNITURE CO, 3 336 & 338 BROADWAY, COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA, - Balm, for Face, Neck, Hagan’s Magnolia a Harmless Liquid Arms and Hands. It banishes freckles, sunburn and tan, therefore a toilet necessity for the seashore and mountains. It is quickly applied, and gives to the skin a soft, creamy appearance, removing all redness, rough=- ness, pimples and sallowness. Its effect is immediate, and deceives the close observer as to its naturalness. It brings back the freshness of youth to the faded cheek and causes a woman to look years younger. If applied after dancing it will be found delight- fully cooling and refreshing.
