Council Bluffs. be held | OFFICIALS ON THE DIAMOND Oity and County Reoresentatives Show How to Play National Game. SOME OF THE WARDROBES ARE STARTLING tance a Alderman Casper, by the A H Makes First Automobile, Home Run in Inning. Nearly 1,00 people witnessed the city of ball by a score of § to 6 at Lake Manawa yesterday afternoon. The Woman's Chris- tlon Association hospital buflding fund, for the benefit of which the city and county officlels displaymd their prowess on the dtamond, will reap a substantial sum from the game. The regular game was preceded by a one- inning game, In which the county and city “fathers” treated the audience to a show better than many a circus. While the men who manage the affairs of the county were content to don the ordinary habiliment of the ball player, many of the eity officlals were wonderfully and gorgeously agrayed. Alderman Casper carried off the cake in this respect. A palr of balloon-like blue overalls cut short at the knees, bright red stockings and a sweater made from a guny sack constituted a makeup which was startling in the extreme. Alderman Me- Donald, who has the reputation of being the handsomest man In the city councll, with the possible exception of Alderman Lougee, had encased his Apollo-like form in a red sweater, an automobile cap, patent leather shoes, open-work socks and Kid gloves, which, together with regulation trousers turned up at the bottoms, as there was a report current that it was raining in Tondon, made an artistic and effete ap- pearance. Scores in Automobile, Mayor Morgan was a veritable dream in handsome gold knickerbockers and stock- ings which displayed his Herculean form to the very best advantage. It was stated that his apparel, cut ensulte, was one of the latest creations from New York. Chlef of Police Tibbits disdained to wear any- thing but his every-day habiliment and his official dignity, which was much ad- mirad by the crowd In the grandstand. City Electriclan Bradley looked formidable ina foot ball suit and attracted more than or- dinary attention by his bright blue and white stockings. The other aldermen and city officials contented themselves with playing in thelr shirtsleeves, that is to say, they simply doffed their coats and vests. City Engineer Etnyre, who was there to play ball, wore a dark grey base ball suit and looked as handsome as any of Buck Keith's has-beens. The city went to bat first and Alderman Casper was the first to face the assistant county attorney, who did the twirling for the county. The alderman had his auto- moblile convenfent to the home plate and after several attempts managed to hit the ball and with a rush and a jump he was In his automobile and around the diamond, | thus scoring one run for the city. Aldermen Lougee and Huber both fanned out and McDonald was given his base on balls. Alderman Tinley made a clean hit, but fell before reaching the base, ploughing up the ground with his nose. He succeeded, however, In regaining his feet, and while Battey fumbled reached first safe, although much out of wind and with a badly scratched nasal organ. Mayor Morgan then brought the house down, or more correctly : speaking, the grand stand, by hitting a hot one to the outfleld and scoring both McDonald and Tinley. ,Alderman Fleming walked, and was followed by Chief of Police Tibbits, who hit for two bases. At- torney Snyder was given his base on balls and City Treasurer True, who looked hand- some In a natty sult of blue, with a brand new pair of white shoes, falled to reach first base, and the first inning for the city dads was over. County Hits Hard. Mayor Morgan pitched for the mun!‘nl- pality, while Fireman Newt Martin did the catching. Alderman McDonald at right fleld was armed with a wire waste paper basket and succeeded in corraling several hot ones with it. Coroner Treynor was the first to bat for the county and made a two-base hit. Baird of the recorder's office was caught on a fly and Deputy County Clerk Battey of Avoca falled to reach first base. Doctor Wyland of Under- Wwood, captain of Wyland's Indlans, hit and Bot to first, scoring Treynor. Assistant County Attorney Hess managed to get to first base on a fumble by City Treasurer True, and then Court Reporter Bruington made a base hit, scoring Wyland. Then Tracy Rodwell, the young man In the clerk of the court's office, who entertains his friends from the east end of the county with pink teas and other social functions in the court house, and George Hill, the affable and handsome custodian of the court house, fanned out, and the circus was over. Then the regular teams got down to work and played ball, while the “‘has beens" were relegated to the benches. The batterles: County, Hess and Wyland; eity, Btnyre and Martin. N. Y. Plumbing Co.

DES MOINBS, June 21.—(special.)—Prepa- rations for the republican state convention of next week have all been made. It will be a large convention, despite the fact there s only one little matter of differ- ence to be disposed of and that the selec- tlon of the candidate for state superin- tendent. Governor Cummins and Lieuten- ant-Governor Herriott will be unanimously renominated. 8o also will Chief Justice Bishop and Railroad Commissioner Pal- mer.

It is un- derstood that Senator Allison will be chalr- man of the platform committee, and that Judge Smith of Council Bluffs will repre- sent the Ninth district.

INO SITE FOR BIG RESERVOIR Irrigation in the Black Hills Will Be Confined to Small Stor, Places. BTURGIS, 8. D.,, June 27.—(Special)— Raymond F, Walter, an engineer of the United States geological survey, who is sent out as a speclalist on irrigation and re- clamation, met the Commercial club of this city a few days ago. He says that the topography and elevation of the country do not favor any great, big reservoir any- where in the Black Hills, as the fall is too great.all at once where there is a show to build, the area of water storage too limited and no chance to carry the big ditch to lands where the probable cost of reclamation could be pald. Mr. Walter, H. E. Perkins, Max Hoehn and W. A. Stuart went up to Boulder park yesterday morning, where a big dam could be bullt at reasonable cost, and the storage waters conveyed to the divides of Alkall and BElk creeks, but the cost of a ditch of adequate dimensions would far overrun the real benefit. Careful measurements showed the volume of the stream to be about eleven | cuble feet. Mr. Walter left last evening for Pledmont, having a proposition to look after down on Flk creek, and thinks it entirely feasible. After that he goes down to the Cheyenne on a similar errand, both jobs taking up considerable time. He expeocts to be in this vicinity all summer, and states that a surveying party is expected in a short time. He will make a complete investigation of Meade county, so that if large reservoir sites cannot be obtained he can select some smaller ones. Ex-Soldier is Held for Fraud. STURGIS, 8.
