All his hope of a big fruit crop has gone glimmering. The frost Friday night did but little dam- age, s0 far as can be ascertained, in this immediate vicinity. Spencer Smith had all his preparations to give Jack Frost a tussle if he should make his appearance. He had the low places on his farm east of the city first sign of a frost had the torch. Abel had laid his plans n same way, but neither of them had nezd to carry them into execution. The frost did not touch the highlands, and on the lower ground was very light. At several places in the city, however, the weather was cold enough to cause water to freeze the thick- ness of ordinary window glass. planned to apply BOSTON STORE.

FOWLER, DICK & WALKER, Council Bluffs, fa. FERRY SCHEME Sue- du 50c quality, to TO TH OPPOSITION Fears that More Direct Communication with South Omaha Will Divert Trade. The meeting which was held in South Omaha Friday night for the purpose of tak- ing steps toward the establishment of a steam ferry line to Manawa has developed no small upposition among the people of Coun- cil Bluffs. In this case the fight will be, in all probability, between the people of Omaha and Council Bluffs on one side, and South Omaha and the farmers of western Potta- wattamie county on the other, and there is considerable doubt as to whether the party of the first part will be able to throw enough cold water on_the scheme to put it out. The South Omaha people want the farmers to grade and keep in repair for a term of years a road running from the east shore of the lake, just north of Manawa, about a mile in length. This, with the ferry, will glve the farmers direct access to the packing houzes of South Omaha, and will cut off about nine miles of their present roundabout way. At present the farmers have to pass through both Council Bluffs and Omaha, go- ing and returing, and generally manage to drop some of their cash at the stores of both cities. If the plan of the people of South Omaha is carried Into execution both cities will be left out in the cold, and the stores of South Omaha will receive the bene- fit. “It will be very hard to convince the farm- ers that it will not be for their interest to have the new road opened up and the ferry established,” said E. H. Odell of the Mer- chants' and Manufacturers’ association of this city yesterday. “Our assoclation will ce tainly fight the proposition as hard as we can, although what we can do more than to use moral suasion with the farmers I do not know.” In this fight Mr. Odell will occupy a two- fold position, being president of the Mer- chants' and Manufacturers association and the chief owner and proprietor of Manhattan beach. In the former capacity he may, of course, be expected to oppose the ferry scheme, but as a private citizen and prop- erty owner he cannot be blamed very much it he regards with pleasure any move that will increase the attendance at Manawa and Manhattan beach. He states, however, that the Increase in the size of the South Omaba contingent at the lake would be so small that he feels his patriotism rising to the emergency, and he will help the astociation Qo all it can to prevent the ferry from be- ing put into operation.

BENNISON BROS., Council Bluffs. Forgrave! rain Was Fogy. Lioyd Forgraves was asked to tell what he knew about there being gambling at the Man- hattan saloon on Broadway yesterday morn- ing. William Crissman, his friend, was like- wise invited to tell what he Lnew about it. cur- of them had pains in their recollectories and had as little as possible to say. Forgraves was having a hearing in police court on the charge of disturbing the peace. His friend Crissman had paid a midnight visit to Judge McGee, so the latter said, and was filled with righteous indignation to think that gambling should be permitted in Council Bluffs. He told the judge that he and For- graves intended to see that John Scheffler's place was closed before daylight, because Forgraves had lost $2 bucking the tiger. But when Crissman was put upon the stand yes- terday mornig he had lost all his indignation, and his story was so much modified from that told the preceding evening that Judge McGee's curiosity was considerably aroused. He propounded a large number of questions to Crissman, but the answers displayed an ignorance o dense that even the judge was obliged to give it up as a bad job. He im- posed a fine of $16.40 on Forgraves for dis- turbing the peace, and 5o long as the present feeling of amity exists between the city offi- cials and the gamblers there will probably be nothing more done about the case. In Forgraves' pocket, when arvested, was found a letter from a girl at Vail, la. No name was signed, but its contents indicated that she had been’ staying at the house of a chicken raiser, and that she had become in- timate with Forgraves. There were some references to - an extended visit to Council Blufts, and an _operation she expected to have performed when she got there. The police are searching for more light on this feature of the case. Wh ws Are Free, First Presbyterlan—Corner of Willow av- enue and Seventh street, Rev. Stephen Phelps pastor.

The great majority of the soldiers which our order represents have already passed over to the hither shore.

It was expected that in the face of Secretary Mor- ton's letter denying that he had appointed men as Inspectors for purely political rea- sons a rather emphatic letter would be sent to the secretary of agriculture in reply, but such was not the case. The committee re- ported as follows: “We have heard a great many complaints in a general way regarding the incompetency of the government live stock inspectors. There is no doubt in our minds that there is room for improvement in the present in- spection force at these yards. We would sug- gest that, inasmuch as civil sérvice rules are soon to take place in this department, this exchange requests Secretary Morton to re- quire the present inspectors to undergo the examination.” The report of the committee was adopted, but Secretary Lott was Instructed not to forward the resolutions of the exchange to Mr. Morton until after the meeting of the exchange on Monday next.

The lawsuit between the National Fencibles of Washington, D. C., and various citizens of Omaha, who comprised a citizens' committee, having In charge the national competitive arill which took place in Omaha three years ago, has been decided by a jury against the Washington contingent. Acting under the direction of the court, the jury returned a verdict for the defendants. A national competitive drill was had in Omaha in June of 1892, Its objects were similar to those of the present Memphis en- campment, which the Thurston Rifles and Omaha Guards are attending, and the Na- tional Fencibles, also, who have lost their law suit. In flaming colored posters the fact was announced that 4,000 crack _soldiers would fight sham bat{les and afford the Omaha public some military entertainment. When the encampment was thoroughly in- augurated it was found that only 600 men, all told, could be mustered into service on the sham battlefield. Prior to this commit- tees had been working among the merchants and securing handsome subscriptions, but when {t was found that the affair was a gorgeous fallure many of the subscribers re- fused to pay. This left the committee with- out sufficient funds and a meeting of the captains of the varfous companies was held and an agreement made that 50 per cent of the prizes offered should be accepted in full payment. As a matten of fact it was shown on_the trial that the Fencibles recelved $3,750, or 75 per cent of the $5,000 prize. At the time of the agreement to take 50 ceits on the dollar they were well satisfied, but under the leadership of Captain Charles S. Dormer they brought sult against W. J. Broatch and others of the committea to re- cover the $1,250 balance on the $5,000 prize. This sum the jury decides they are not en- titled to. One of the chiet defenses made in the trial of the case was that the tournament was a “sham, a fake, a swindle and a fraud perpetrated on an innocent public.” el Victor Wild Wou the Great Jubliee.

As I paced the deck one afternoon I noticed a ludy re- clining upon one of the benches, and the un- earthly pallor of her face and tho hopeless languidity of her manner indicated that she had reached that state of collapse which marks the limit of seasickness. ‘Touched by this piteous spectacle, 1 ap- proached the poor creature and in iny most compassionate tone I asked: ‘Madam, can I b2 of an service to you? “She did not open her eyes, but T heard her mugmur faintly: ‘Thank you, eir, hut there is mothing you can do—nothing at all.’ ‘At least, madam,’ said I, tenderly, ‘per- mit me to bring you a glass of water.’ “She moved her hcad feebly and answered: ‘No, I thank you—nothing at all.’ ‘‘But your husband, madam,’ said I, ‘the gentleman lying there 'with his head in your lap—shall T not bring him something to re- vive him?' “The lady again mover her head feebly and again she murmured faintly and betw.en gasps: ‘Thank you, sir, but—he—is—not—my —husband.

Chicago Tribune: “My heart pleads for you, Horace,” she said, unsteadily, “but do you realize the anguish, the misery, the re- morse that would follow a union hastily en- tered into by two persons not wholly suited to each other?” “Evande!” impetuously cried the young man, “if two persons are deeply, sincerely, devotedly attached to each other are they not wholly suited?
