The high stage permits all classes of craft to pass over the bar, and the hoating and bathing parties that are arranged for tonight will have royal opportunities for fine sport. There were no new developments in (he saloon war yesterday. County Attorney Saunders gave a very emphatic expression to his denial that the cases were brought with his knowledge or consent. There was a rumor to the effect that the saloon men were preparing to go after Mr. Shea good and hard, and another supplemental rumor to the effect that two saloon men had been called before the grand jury, presumably In relation to some saloon injunction cases that were started several months ago and allowed to drop.

The hour fixed for the commencement of the exercise was 10 a. m., but owing to the dampness of the morning' and the muddy condition of the earth the attendan was very lght, But at the afternoon session there was a full at dance of the membe and a good many hundred people who had not lived in this world, or this part of it, long enoug to bo entitled to membership.

Mayor Cleaver deliver well pre- | s of welcome, which | pared and hearty add was responded to by Hon, D. C. Both were mutually Bloomer. congratulatory, and n the hearts of the old settlers presint. The address of k Shinn of Carson was one of the chief nts of the morning, as well as one of the best that that eccentric statesman h recently delivered. It abounded in dry hu- mor and racy reminiscences, stories and fish stories connected with the earlier lives of many of the people present During the recess that lasted from 12 to 2 o'clock nearly all of the pioneers present formed finto little luncheon parties and their dinners on the seats of the amph'the: ter. In the afterncon the attendance was largely increased and reached neariy 1,000 people. The published program was carried out, with the addition of speeches by W. A. Mynster, Rev. Henry Delong and Alfred D. Jones of Omaha, the noblest Roman of them all. The speech of Mr. Jones was particu- larly interesting. He was among the first settlers at the point where Council Bluffs now stands, and was the founder as well as the namer of the city. He came here, he sald, with the first traders and bullt his cabin. When the point became the chief crossing for the California emigrants the name Council Bluffs had not been appled (o it, but it was known as Kanesville, Millers: ville and a lot of other confusing and mis- leading titles. Two octher points, one above the city and the other below, Old Trader's Point, were known as Council Bluffs, This made it very confusing, and it occurred to him to do away with Kanesville and other names and call this place Council Bluffs City, and by means of the more pretentious name draw all the travel from the other localit'es Tho plan was adopted and it was but a short time until the other sight. When the postoffice was locited here that settled it. Jones was practicilly the first mayor of the city. But his ambition was not satisfied with founding one city. He crossed the river and laid the foundations for the present great city of Omaha, the honor again of being the first mayor and first postmaster. His talk abounded in rich anecdote and he made himself a very warm placo in the hearts of the pecp'e who heard him talk. Another characteristic speech that was full of ploneer incident was made by Rev. Henry DeLong, the “Good Samaritan who has brought sunshine into g0 many squalid_homes in Council Blufts. He came to Council Bluffs with his parents when he was a small boy. The long overland trip from the east- tern home with the ox team was described. Henry was the only child in the family, and he bore his full share of the toils of the long march. Shortly after they came here and before they had time to even erect a cabin to shelter them both of his parents were taken sick and died, and the boy was left alone, an utter stranger in a wild land. His sole companion and friend was the fam- ily dog that had trotted patiently be- hind the old wagon for 1,000 miles. He de- scribed how he made a hole in one of the hillsides big enough to contain himself and his four-footed friend, and dwelt there alone and friendless until the little hamlet grew into_a pretentious village and he into a sturdy young man, capable of hewing- his way in the wilderness with the other hardy ploneers. The dugout home was locat:d In what is now known as Turley's Glen, built up with stately residences. Ben Winchester related some very inter- esting experien of old Mormon days Addresses were also made by Shirley Gilll- land of Glenwood, Sheriff Hazen and others At the conclusion of the speeches the as- soclation elected its officers for the ensuing year. L. W. Tubbs of Mills county was chosen president; J. Munsinger, Mills county, first vice president; R. D. Amy, Council Bluffs, second vice president; 0. C. Gaston, Fremont county, third vice president; Henry Band Malvern, secretary, and William Plumer, treasurer. Several resolutions were passed, and Malvern was chosen as the place for holding the reunfon next year. LAST WEEK OF BOSTON STORE August Clearing Sale.

OWLER, DICK & WALKER, Council Bluffs, Ia. Snys He Has Killed Himself. It Minard Shoemaker is not somewhere on his way to Texas or some other seaport he has probably put fnto execution a threat to commit suicile. Yesterday morning at an early hour he took the pa'ns to bribe a dirty- faced, ragged bootbleck to carry a long let- ter to cne of the newspaper offices, in which ho detailed his sad experiences in life and asserted that owing to the differences of opln- fon between himself and wife he hai con- ciuded that the best way to end it all was t) 0 down to the bridge and jump into the river and forget to swim. Thfs is the last that has been heard from Shoemaker. He is & young man who has baen doing all around work at St. Bernard’s hosp'tal for several months, and bes'des doing this has done sufficient other odd things to attract attention to himself. A few weeks ago he posed as the hero cf a very improb:ble tale which he brought up from Lake Manawa, to the effect that he had rescued a beautiful young woman of Omaha frem the sensuous grasp of a ravisher, but not until he had knocked him out of the boat, which Shoe- maker had been engaged to row. This was subsequently proved to be a dream af'er Shoemaker had spent a day or more hunting around Omaha for the assallant of the girl and the girl herself. The young man’s mother lives at 1918 §'xth avenue, and inquiries there last niglit elic- ited the fact that the family did not appeir to be serlously alarmed over the ghsence cf the man and the adidtional fact that he had informed h's frieads cf b's intention of start ing for Texas at once. His last visit there was on the preceding evening, when he to'd his mother that he and his wife had sep- arated and that he was ging to hades or Texas. His wife, who is stoppng at 716 Ninth avenue, ev'need little interest when told of the susp'clon that her husband m'ght have committed suicid We have leased the L. G.

He has not been feellng well for several days, but he managed to eat u good healthy supper last ulght, Half an hour afterward he be gan to complain of severe pains in his chest. The jailer's attention was attracted and with a reporter he made an examination of the unhappy young man. He was bathed in cold perspiration, his face drawn and features pinched, lips blue and his fingers clinched until the nails were driven into the palms. Bvery symptom was that of a genuine con- vulsion, and the suspicion that he had suc- ceeded In getting some poison into his stom- ach was apparently warranted.

The unsecured creditors, representing nearly $1,000,000, fought the bonds on the ground that the money they were to secure was never actually paid by the Trust company to the Terminal, that the indebtedness was in excess of the company's legal limitation, and that the bonds were i violation of the law of perpetuities and trusts because based on a ninety-nine year lease.

TO PREVEN ISIONS AT AL ration by e United States and England, SHINGTON, Aug. 29.—The prospect for the international acceptance of ‘the Washing- ton rules to prevent collisions at sea is re- ported bright by Navigation Commissioner Chamberlain, who has just returned from an informal consultation with Ampassador Bay- ard and the British authorities upon the sub- ject. After the assent of nearly all mari- time nations to the rules had been secured last year by the United States, Great Britain in February, joined by other powers, asked delay until the rules could be sent to a par- lizmentary ~committee. This committe which was about to render a general favor- able report, came to an ehd with the abrupt dissolution of Parliament upon: the defeat of the late ministry. A new committee must be appointed and the - desire of the Unitetd States that the committee be appointed at the present session of Par- liament has been clearly indicated to the British government. Delay in appointing the committee until February might impede action by congress, should any be necessary, and it is expected that Parliament will show the same courtesy to the United States which congress at the last session showed to Great Britain THROUGH New Order Issucd by Secretary for t Treasury on Imports to Mexico.

They say Max Pemberton is the coming man and that his work is sureto become more pop- ular even than that of Conan Doyle. His «Impregnable City,” “Jewel Mysteries I Have Known,” “Iron Pirate,” “Soa Wolves” and the first numbers of “The Diary of a Valet,” have made a remarkable success in England. Our readers will be glad to learn that we have secured the four con- cluding numbersof “The Diary of aValel,” the first of which entitled, “The Phantom Staircase,” will ba published in our daily issues, commencing September 3. It is a thrilling story of adventure in the slums ot Paris, It shows that the author has a power of narrationquiteas new and forceful as that of Stevenson. You must read Pemberton or be behind tha times. AR AR AANRANNARRS AARARAARNG DAL LIRS CREIGHTON THEATRE Tel. 1631—PAXTON & BURGESS, Mgrs.
