Celebrate the I'uurth ,
COUNCIL Bum 8 , Juno 13. To the Editi

Idly approaching , and whut are our citl
going to do toward celebrating it , in a prop
luanuori is a question which deeply 1
teiests a great many people at tha presoi
time. The cities of Council Bluffs ni
Omaha certainly ought to do something
his respect. They have been frequently
mt to fthama by much smaller cities and
own * nnd In order that this may not occur1
again , would It neb bo po'slblo for the two
itlcs , Omaha and Council HliifTs , to unite In
naking ono grand demonstration , such ai
ms never been seen In the west before , and
vhlch would rcdown to their honor and
credit and bo of a vail amount of benefit ,
> artlcularly to the business portion of the
idpulatlon. If such a union can not bo
iffcctcd , then let Omaha , shobelncr the larger
city , make nn appropriation for this purpose
nnd I nm quite sure she will receive the
icarty co-operation of the cltircns of Council
iUuffs. If the city will not make the ncces-
lary appropriation , then wo appeal to the
justness men to do it. It Is for jour bcncllt ,
and I nm sure jou nro enterprising enough
: o como forward with the needed amount. If
; lie appioprlation can bo obtained , there are
hundreds of willing hands ready and wait
ing to perform the work , Now , then , lot us ,
as clthens of our respective cities , wake up
and have a domonstiation on the Fourth of
July that will bring honor to our city and

rooster , and this immense proud fowl is
nothing less thau"cock of the walk" In his
noighbothood. On last Sunday morning
when Harry Spedalman , a newspaper car-
tier , put in ills appearance the rooster did
not like the lad's looks and was not going to
allow him to step upon the porch
to deliver the paper. The rooster How at
the boy and made a saucy display of bis
temper , making as much noise as he could to
attract the attention of his master. When
the boy luft the rooster strutted up and
down the high porch and crowed until ho
was hearse , apparently feeling that ho had

Colonel Alusworth denies that any of the
occupants of the building uiado any sugges
tions of danger to him or unv ono else to his
knowledge until after the accident.
Concerning the space roped off , he declares
ho ga\e no directions , nor was nny ono au
thorized to do so , with respect to the move
ment of cloths In or about the building dur
ing the progress of the work.
Colonel Alusworth sajs ho is convinced
that an investigation of the affair will result
in his acquittal of all blame. Ho asks that
the deputy coroner be commanded to permit
him to bo piesent with counsel and add such
measures as are nccessaiy to protect his
life , which is said to bo tinea tencd.
Disttiet Attoruej Barnet filed a demurrer ,
claiming that Colonel Ainsvvorth's petition
did not set foith any matter that entitled
him to a writ of mandamus.
The court tooli the matter under advise
ment until tomoriow moining.
AT Till : COUONiai'S INQUKST.
Indignant Clerks Tell of the Unsafe Condi
tion of the Old Kuril Thentor.
WASHINGTON , Juno 13. The Inquest Into
the cause of tho.Foid theater disaster was
resumed today. A squad of uollco was
present to preserve order. The testimony so
fur developed nothine new.
Ernest Bcrger , a clem , told of the belief
among the clerks that the building was
danperous. Talking to Clerk Fred Collins
on the subject , lie slid if it did collapse
Ainsworth oucht to bo under it. The stairs
were by no means , adequate , and he had
noticed a bultro in the rear wall.
Edward Bajor , another clerk , told of
employes' fear. He had not made a com
plaint , because ho feared the consequences.
lie knew of a clerk who had asked to be re
moved to safer quarters , und w ho had been
told his only iccourso was to tcslgn. The
chirks felt strongly against Colonel Airis-
woith and Jacob Fieech , because they had
not bean fiuloufrhed while the excavation
was going on. ' 1 he witness Knew of a peti
tion which had been circulated , asking for a
furlough , and said the clerks refused to sign
It because they were afiaid of the con
sequences.
UT. Edwards , a clerk , who had gene into
; ho Msemont during the excavation , testi
fied that ho saw no underpinning.
"More than ten daj s .mo , " said Harry
Brandon , the next witness , "tho clerks were
uhci'ti'il to walk carefully on the stairway m
the building. "
Clerk Fiank Randolph slid the feeling
towards the heads of the bureau weio not
cordial , especially was this so toward Chief
Clerk Trench , who treated them us dogs and
not as men. Ho was tyrannical and over-
dealing.
This ended the testimony for the day and
nn adjournment until 11 o'clock tomoirow
was taken.

/ * IUME IN HIGH PLACES 1 It Is
- not strangp that some people do
wronp through ignorance , others from
a failure to investigate as to the right or
wrong of a matter. Cut it is strange ,
that individuals and firms , who are fully
n win o of the rights of others , will per
sist in perpetrating frauds upon thorn.
High-toned , vvcultliv inanufrcturing
firms vill olTor and Hell to retail mer
chants , nrtielob which they know to bo
infringements on the rights of proprie
tors , and imitations of well known goods.
Wo want to sound a , note of warning to
the retailers to beware of such imita
tions and simulations of ' 'CAiiriJU's LIT-
TLK LIVUK PILLS. " When they nro of
fered to you , refuse them ; you do not
want to do wrong , and you don't want to
lay yourself liable to a lawsuit. Bon
Franklin said "Honesty is the best poli
