John T. Stewart was on band at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon with his special motor
train , nil ready to tnko the farmers and fruit
growers out to the driving park , ns had boon
agreed upon a week ago. Only a few of tl'O
farmers wcro on hand , but It was Impossible
to wait for the rest , and the Journey was
taken.
The farmers then returned to the court
house nnd held a meeting for the purpose of
making further arrangements In regard to
the palace schema which was suggested n
week ago. The llrst thing that was done waste
to agree formally to enter the Uluo draw
league and toappolnt A. 1' . Cramer and J. J.
Steadman n committee to write to the differ
ent towns in the county to secure their co
operation in the work of making n creditable
exhibit. A commlttoj was also appointed
conslstlngof A. I' . Cramer , Frank Stilnn and
U. F. Clayton to circulate around through
the county and raise money to daf ray the ox-
pi-usos of Joining the league nnd getting to
gether the materials for the cxh iblt.
A long discussion was then commenced
with reference to the palace scheme. The
Ideas of most of the member. ! wore very
misty on this subject , nnd A. S. Honhain was
the only ono who thought ho know what was
the proper thing to bo done. Ho , however ,
was not able to convoy his ideas to the uudl-
cnco so as to make them understand what he
wanted , and the result was a misunder
standing.
Alter about two hours had been taUcn ill
witti sawing wood , the meeting adjourned ,
and thu members were Just as much in the
dark at to whether they would vote to go
into the palace scheino as when they com
menced work In the afternoon.
L. A. Cnsper wanted to build n palace
nnd he was anxious to have n guaranty fnml
raised by subscription , as ho thought that
more money could bo raised with less worl
in that way than by either the stock com
any or the straight subscription plnns. A
committee was appointed' consisting of L. A.
Casper , J. W. I'eretioy. A. S. Honhain , J. T.
Stewart and George IJ Whoclor to look up
tlio matter nnd Und out whether It was ad-
vlsabln or not to chilli ! a palace.
Another meeting will bo held on the Sflnl
In the board of trade rooms , and the commit
tee will make n report at that time.

Superintendent Sawyer of the city school
has reported to the board in regard to the
number of books which will bo required to
keep the schools running during the next live-
yiars , In accordance with the instructions
given him nt the last meeting of the board.
The report states that there nro ! ii57 ( pu
pils in the public schools at the present time ,
and that the estimate of the number of sup
plies required for the next live
years have been tlgured on that
basis. Thera will bo about 10,000
books needed nnd other supplies in tiropor-
tion. Among other Items , the amount of ink
Is estimated nt 100 gallons , the amount of
legal cap at lltty reams and the number of
slates at 1,200.
A larco saving will bo m do to the parents
nT school children by the now scheino. It is
estimated that by buying the supply by
wholesale Instead of retail , as horotoforn , a
W ) cent book will bo gotten for about 20 cents ,
nnd the saving will be In nuout the same pro
portion In all other directions.
The law under which this arrangement N
to bo effected was passed by the legislature
nt the last session und Is found In section .1 of
chapter21 of the codo. It provides that
school boards may advertise for bids for the
furnishing of supplies for a slated period , at
wholesale rates. The plan Is already in op
eration In Sioux Citv , DOS Molncs , Cedar
Uaplds , Uurllngton and other cities through
out the state and it has met with creat suc
cess wherever It has been tried. The mem
bers ot the board nro confident that about
$ , ' 1,000 will bo saved to the parents during tno
year. Uids for the furnishing of the school
supplies will be advertised for in n few days
and the competition will no doubt bo very
warm between the various dealers In such
merchandise. _

In district court yesterday Judge Smith
heard the case of L , M , Turner ngalnst
( icorgo Ferk'iisoii , The case excited but
little Interest , as the testimony was almost
precisely the the same as was introduced in
the cttso cf Turner against Ulnk \ Sehultz.
All Iho tojtlmony was in , the arguments of
tno attorneys submitted nnd tue case sub
mitted to the court at the adjournlnt ? time.
'Iho Jury lu thocasoor Schuaber , IJoutual
t Co against Peter C. Miller , which was on
rial for several days last week , brought In a
verdict for the defendants. This throws the
osts of the suit on Miller , nnd virtually
hrow.s both parties out of court , as the
ilnlnUffs sued for tl'-'O on an attachment nnd
ho defendant put In n counter claim for
1.500 for fnlso attachment.
In the case of William Ueeso against A. J.

It Wanted to Down Knmuhoily with
I'oxvdcr and Hall ,
In the front window of A. C. Graham's
jun shop ou Broadway there is on exhibition
i magnificent gold badge , which was won by
Mr. Wil-on Duncan nt iho regular semi
monthly shoot of the Council Bluffs rlllo
club nt Uohror's park Friday afternoon. Mr.
Duncan has won the badge now three times
In succession , and ho is beginning to feel n
sort of proprietary Interest In it. His score
on Friday showed 07 points gained out of a
possible 100. This was a trifle less than on
tlio two preceding occasions , which is ac
counted for by the fact that it was n very
windy day , nnd all the records were conse-
llUUllklJ llt > Ul LII1III U3UUU
The Council IHiilfs Hlllo club , by the wny ,
Is quite an Institution. It numbers about
thirty members at present , and at least ten
of them nro llrst class shots. Shootlni ;
matches take place every two weens nnd the
winner of the badge holds H each time until
deprived of it by some more successful com
petitor. Mr. Duncan stales lhat ho thinks a
team could bo selected from Iho club that It
would bo dlllicult. If not Impossible , to beat In
a contest with a like club from any city In
Iowa or Nebraska , or , for thai mailer , in the
whole northwest.
Among the best shots in the club nro
Messrs. Tipton , the president , John Oliver ,
Snckett , Ogden and MulhoHand. Anyone of
these , Mr. Duncan says , with becoming mod
esty , could beat the scores which ho made on
Friday , under favorable conditions , and Iho
scores are not to bo sneezed at , either.
.There are n number of gentlemen in the
club who do some line work when the spirit
moves them , nnd at oilier limes llioy drop
back inlo Iho ranks without having done any
thing to bo proud of. They arc Messrs. llam-
lln , Metcalf , Mntthai , 15randy , IIolTmnyr and
Nichols. Tno latter Is one of the younger
members , and is regarded by the old as a
genuine prodigy ,
oTholliing thai is uppermost In the minds
of thu members at the present time , is a
pii/e shoot between Iho Council IIlufTs club
nnd representatives from other cities. The
badge which is now worn by Ihe successful
contestants is ono thnt was won from Ihe
Omaha club in issil , nhd some wny the mem
bers feel as though they could beat Omaha
again If they had a chance. An effort is also
being made to got the ladies interested in the
nrtof rillo shootinir , nnd If the success is nny-
lliingllko in proportion to the eagerness with
which they are trying to bring about the de
sired result , a ladies' annex to Iho Council
Uluffs Killo club Is likely lo bo a thing ol the
near future.

Dotectlvo Miller of the Union Pacific secret
service , narrowly escaped being the hero of n
serious accident last night at about 9 o'clock.
Ho was standing on Iho platform of an
east-bound Omaha motor train , with his as-
sislanl , Henry Dean. The train gave u sud
den luich , und knocked n revolver out of
Dean's pocket. The revolver foil on the
platform , striking on the hammer , and was
discharged. Tno ball entered Miller's loft
log , just above Iho knee , nnd came out about
two inches away , ploughing n deep furrow
through the llosh , but fortunately not
Inflicting n dangerous wound. It then
proceeded on its way to Iho roof of Iho car.
Inking a largo crop of whiskers off the face of
another man who was standing near. Miller
went to the ofllco of Dr. Cleaver , where the
wound was dressed.
The car was well filled with passengers ,
some of whom were ladies , and Iho shot
caused something of a sensation .If the ball
had gone In a different direction it might
havu caused something moro than n sensa
tion , for It came from an enormous -14-callbre
Colt's revolver. Miller , the Injured manwas

Piioviiittxri : , IJ. I. , May 0. The mytery
surrounding the botllo of poisoned liquor
sent to Mrs. J. II. Barnnby nt Denver , which
caused her death , will , it is believed hero , uo
cleared up in a few days. Last night Dr.
Thatcher Grave * and his wife loft for Den
ver , nnd Ibis morning the Pinkcrton detec
tives and the Conrad family started , so that
they will bo but a few hours later than the
Graves party In reaching Denver. Miss
llanly , the maid Dr. Graves secured for Mrs.
Barnaby last summer , is not to accompany
the party , as the Pinkcrton men have not
regarded her as of nny Importance as a wit
ness.
ness.That Dr. Graves should start for Denver
to appear before the grand jury caused con
siderable surprise , but that he should do this
of his own volition was oven moro surpris
ing. While ho goes voluntarily , ho did not
decide to do so until after a great deal of
pressure had been brought to bear to con
vince him Hint It was the best thing he could
do , considering what had been said and Ihe
Information obtained by the detectives , and
ho was urged to make some representation of
tlio forwarding of Iho boltlo. Tbo public
must not bo surprised If the statement Is
soon forthcoming thai the botllo when malted
contained only whisky , but that it. was tam
pered with after its arrived in Denver.
Miss Hanly , on account of the unpleasant
notoriety attached to her name , has been

The modern temple of Iho drama is turned
into a market place for the sale of notoriety.
Yesterday afternoon and last night , lohn
L. Sullivan made his appearance on the stage
of the Boyd In "Honest Hearts and Willing
Hands1' and 'J"iOO people have now an exalted
opinion of the champion heavyweight's
ability as an actor.
It was truly an exhibition worth witness
ing , not alone as the basis for future compar
ison but as an example of the prostitution of
the art which brought Forrest , Booth , Dav
enport , McCulloiigh fame on tins side of the
water to say nothing of the ability of the
men who have Illumined the dramatic page
in the ' -tight little island. "
Five acts of villainy , heroism , clowning
and mock heroics are necessary lo inlroducu
a sduntllle sot-to between Iho champion and
another fistic follower and when Iho "Knock
out" blow is given tl o audience was iiuito
willing to cry quits , they had .seen tlio
"earnest actor" make ducks nnd drakes of a
burly opponent who is carried along for that
purpose.
The audience cared little for Iho
drama. They had conio lo see Sullivan
"act" ami as long as ho was on tl.o stage
they had eyes only for him. Between his
scones , when he was behind the friendly
wings working himself up to his heroic task
of delciuling the defenceless , the crowd had
litlle patience with tlio talk of the oilier
characters. In fact , they would rather see
John in a monologue enterlainmenl ,
for then he could have usurped the stage
continuously. In composition the audience
was the most heterogeneous assbinblago over
gathered In Boyd's. Llradcrs in shirt sleeves
'
knocked elbow's with legislators , coal heavers
exchanged confidences with millionaires ,
"dead game sports" gave pointers to bank
clerks upon the relative merits of Sullivan
and his burly antagonist , and throughout
fraternity with n capital K spread her bciiig-
iniit wings.
A tall , lank citizen , with closely cropped
mir anil u beard about a fool long , VanDvko
brown in color , very suggesllve of frost-
touched stains of golden rod Muck
into a hammock , remarked confidentially
lo a friend at his right , "Uat's do
stuff for me. He's a actor , he Is. Why , ho
jusl owns do peop' , see' " And that is about
the opinion formed by the people iiresent. i
After the third net. In winch Sullivan rises
to realms of tragedy , remarking lo Iho vll-
lian , who by the way ought lo have his voice
tiled , "If you say another word I will break
every bono in your body , " ho was called on
for n speech , nnd in a manner
peculiarly Sulllvanesijuo , said : "Ladles
and gentlemen , I thank you for
your hearty applause and appreciation which
you havu shown mo tonight. I nope I shall
de.sorvo It in the future as well as 1 have in
the past. " | Loud and long continued ap
plause. ) But why go on with the recital i
Sullivan Illlcd the space allotted to him by a
wise playwright. Ho seemed as big as the
stage. And at night time when he thinks ,
which ho has to do In Iho course of the
drama , the attendants say It sounds very
much like the rumble of a coal wagon over a
bridge.
