NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Yesterday Ww the Ortnt Day of the Grand
Army Encampment.
ELECTED FOR THE YEAR
Clinton Rclvct'd n * Hie Place for Holding
the Kiitaiiiimcnt | Xrxt Vcar It VVmllot
but the Veterans Turned Oat
> fur lliu 1'nnido.
Yesterday was the biggest day of the
whole year with the Grand Army boys , for
It was the day when they not only de
termined who should be the standard
bearer for the organization for the cn ulng
year , but when they got out with their
drums and fifes _ oiid perpetrated another
grand march , not to the sea , but to be seen.
The people from outside town In this vicin
ity appreciated the fact that It was the big
day , too , for every train came In loaded
down with people who were bent on having
o day's pleasure , and before the day was
over they had It.
In the morning a business session was
held at the opera house and the all Im
portant matter of choosing officers was
settled once for all , with this result :
Commander George A. Newman of Cedar
Falls.
Senior Vice Commander J. C. Mllllman of
Logan.
Junior Vice Commander W. Ellis of VII-
llsca.
llsca.Medical
Medical Director Dr. E. II. Hazen of
Des Molncs.
Chaplain B. F. W. Cozier of Col fax.
Then came the exciting business of the
day , the felcct'on of a place for the next
encampment. Sioux City and Clinton were
the main candidates , and delegates from
various portions of the state e.Uolled the
good qualities of the two cities for over an
hour , Efforts were made to postpone the
election until today , but It was defeated.
When the result was announced Clinton
carried off the prize by a big majority ,
whereat a representative of Sioux City saU :
"We'll come up to Clinton next year , sit
on ) our lumber piles and cat your hard
tack. "
This ended the business of the day and an
adjournment was taken until this morning ,
when five members of the council of ad-
mlnl tratlon will he chosen , the reports of
officers will be received and the incoming
olllcers will be Installed.
LADIES HAVE A LIVELY TIME.
The Woman's Relief corps held a rather
stormy meeting at 4 o'clock In the afternoon
in the First Baptist church. It was behind
closed doors , and of course It cannot be told
Just what took place , but It Is learned from
Interested parties that there was a great
deal of excitement. It was the Intention of
the women to elect all their officers , but It
took so much more time than had been an
ticipated that the only thing accomplished
was the election of the president. As al
ready stated by The Bee , there were three
candidates prominently mentioned In con
nection with the place , one of them being
Mrs. Flora Evans of Clinton , who held the
office last year. There were a good many
members of the coips who did not want her
re-elected , and they thought they had suc
ceeded In spiking her guns , but when It
came to a showdown they learned that they
had been outgeneraled , for after several
hours of wire pulling , not to say hair pullIng -
Ing , Mrs. Evans was re-elected.
Mrs. Evans read the president's annual
report of the year's work , which showed a
very flattering Increase In corps , twenty-
nine having been organized since her
election. The financial affairs are In a very
flourishing.condition. Amount of cash ex
pended on relief during the year , $1.210.DC ;
other than money , $5,496.16 , which Is cer
tainly a good showing. There has been a
gain of 47.1 members. ,
Reports of various committees were re
ceived and acted upon.
After the presentation of a few reports ,
Mrs. Conablc , department secretary , arose
and In behalf of Commander Sclmllcr , pre
sented Mrs. Evans with a handsome gavel ,
conveying In a manner his appreciation of
her efforts to further the Interest of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
Mrs. Rummery of Clinton corps No. 10
then came to the platform and presented
Mrs. Evans , In behalf of her staff and the
department aides , an elegant silver coffee
urn.
urn.Mrs.
Mrs. Evans expressed her thanks and ap
preciation for these gifts In a few well
chosen words.
When the hour for the parade arrived
there was a sweltering ntrhosphere , the sun
shining out of an unclouded sky in a way
that brought the perspiration to the surface
and sent visions of liquid refreshments hust
ling through the brain even of the most
ardent prohibitionist among the old soldiers.
One feature of the parade that was unpleas
ant alike to the men who marched and to
the thousands of citizens who stood along
the sldo of the streets on which the proces
sion passed , was the fact that 2:30 : o'clock ,
the hour at which It started , was about the
hottest In the entire day. Many of the old
soldiers preferred to look on than take an
active part In the parade , and yet the line
was long and enthusiastic.
FORMATION OF THE LINE.
A platoon of police was followed by six
companies of United States regulars from
Fort Omaha , under command of General
Brook and headed by the band from the fort ,
which , with Its beautiful uniforms and bril
liant music , made a great addition to the
procession. The regulars , one company of
whom was composed of Indians , executed
seine very skillful military maneuvers while
marching. Then came Dalbey's band of
Council Bluffs , followed by a largo company
of Sons of Veterins from Missouri Valley.
The Omaha Guards , with their whlto
trousers , made something of a departure
from the regulation blue uniform , and with
the Thurston Rifles of Omaha did some very
"
clever work" Then came the Missouri Valley -
loy band , followed by the members of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
Much as platform orators are accustomed
to bewail the fact that the old soldiers are
drcpplng off and that the thing of going to
encampments will soon be a thing of the
past , yesterday's parade proved one thing
to the satisfaction of all , and that was , that
It will bo several years yet before encamp
ments will go out of style for lack of men
to go to them. Now and then one would ba
seen whoso form was a little bent with ngo
and whose limbs tottered a trifle as he
walked , but most of them looked as hale and
hearty as possible , while the vigor with
which they vociferated their camp calls and
their army songs as they passed along bore
evidence that something besides consumption
would have to take them off.
The Grand Army boys were frequently In
terspersed with drum corps , the one under
the lead of Wall McFadden , the well known
biss drum virtuoso of this city , being worthy
of especial mention. Major Hendershott , the
"drummer boy of the Uippahannock , " accom
panied by his son , who ls something of a
boy himself by this time , attracted a good
deal of attention , the major handling the
sticks with all of his old time vigor and
skill.
The rising generation also had Its place In
the parade , the Council Bluffs contingent
being represented by" the Ddgo Light Guards
and the High school cideti. Both of these
organizations are finely uniformed and
splendidly drilled , and their appearance as
they marched along the street was the s'ginl
for frequent outbursts of applause. Abe Lin
coln post of Council Bluffs and Crocker post
cf Omaha brought up the reir.
The line of march was somewhat changed
from that published In the official program ,
which , by the way , has turned out to be
anything but on official program throughout
the encampment. The reviewing stand was
erected at the Intersection of Broadway and c
Fourth street , and from It Department Com
mander Phil fa'elmller and his staff viewed
the procession as It countermarched down
Broadway. Hats were lifted and salutations
exchanged on both sides , and the old call of
"Here's ycr mule , " brought forth an occa
sional cheer.
FIFTEEN HUNDRED IN LINE.
Commander Sclialler , after U was all over
and the vets had disbanded , stated to a Dee
reporter that the parade was fully as Urge
this year as U was last. This Is something
to be proud of , Inasmuch as the railroads ,
with their usual discrimination agilnit
Council Bluffs , furnished a rate of one and
one-third fare for the round trip this year , c
u compared wita rate at one fug every b
year previous. The hard limes , together with
thlt unjutt discrimination , might reasonably
have b en expected to reduce the attendance ,
but It Is estimated that thera were at least
1,500 Grand Army men In the parade.
Some crltlclim was heard of the action of
ICMC one , It Is not known Just whom , In

re ldqnr to the reviewing sland In the kind

rlago wa all right , but each of the horses
bore an Immense blanket , announcing tbo.
fact that the rig was from the "Down In the
heel livery stable. " The committee might
not have been responsible for this exhlbtlon
of bad taitc , and It Is to be hoped It was not.
The operation of handshaking had not become -
come monotonous at the close of the second
day , and there were no prospects that It
would Immediately. Last evening one en-
thuslastlc member of the Woman's Relief
corps , who had put In a day of It , ( fame up
to a friend , and , exhibiting a glove with the
palm all worn out , exclaimed : "There , ice
what I've done , Just shaking hands. " She
was not the only one.
One of the amusing features of the day
wan the appearance on the streets of an old
gentleman who claims the name of Mcrrlam
and who announces that he has figured out
an entirely new system of polities , religion
and economics. He ran up to an aged vet
eran who was sitting quietly In a doorway
and commenced elucidating his Ideas , and
the veteran listened In patience , without
saying ah , yes or no. Finally the old man
"said : "Well. I've been looking for a man
that's got more wheels In his head than I
have , and I guess I'll take you. I've got
three wheels myself. "
Gus Hclflcr of the 112th Pennsylvania
heavy artillery and a member of the Abe
Lincoln post of this city , made a rather
unique banner , consisting of an ordinary
broom , bearing the portrait of General Fltz-
patrlck on one side and General Benjamin
Harrison on the other.
One somewhat Interesting thing about the
senior and Junior vice commanders , J. C.
Mllllman and General W. W. Ellis. Is that
the former has but one arm and the latter
but one leg. No matter which of these
gentlemen have to take charge of the de
partment in cas-e of the disability of De
partment Commander Newman , something
Is sure to b.c mlss'ng.
DECORATIONS WENT FLYING.
About 7 o'clock In the evening a storm
came up , which speedily sent the decora
tions on the streets flying. The wind blew
and the rain fell , and the weather.became
so disagreeable generally that the hopes of
making the closing camp flres the best of
the lot went glimmering. The meeting at
the Presbyterian church was not attended
by more than twenty-five persons , and It
was decided to adjourn to the opera house.
The opera house was the recruiting point
of the old soldiers , and was filled to Its full
est capacity , every seat being occupied and
100 people standing In the aisles. Dr. F. S.
Thomas presided. After Invocation by Rev.
E. J. Babcock , Miss Myrtle Parks of Waterloo
lee , Neb. , sang two solos and had to respond
to an encore each time. Judge
George Carson delivered an address of wel
come , which was responded to by Colonel
George A. Newman. Miss Bessie Weldeneall
of Council Bluffs rendered a violin solo , after
which Dr. E. II. Hutchlns of Des Molnes
stepped before the footlights and with an
eloquent speech presented J. J. Steadman.
past department commander , a magnificent
sliver service , on behalf of the
department of Iowa. Colonel Stead-
man accepted the compliment with his
usual grace , putting himself ( and his wife
as well ) on record as favoring free silver
and plenty of It , at least In a case of this
kind. His reference to Abaham Lincoln was
received with cheers and applause from the
vets.
vets.The
The Dudley Buck quartet sang "The Ar-
tlllerits" oath and being recalled sang a
war song.
GENERAL DODGE TALKS.
After two recitations by Miss Edyth
Thomas , General G. M. Dodge read a pro
duction In which he Indulged largely In
reminiscences of the war. His account of
an Interview with President Lincoln was
highly Interesting , and his warm
personal friendship throughout the
war for Generals Grant , Sherman ,
Sheridan and others gave rise to
numerous anecdotes , which were listened to
with the most rapt attention. Grant , ho
said , was so constituted as to care little for
small things , but when great crises arose
he always aro. o to the mastery of them.
After the Dudley Buck quartet had sung
another selsctlon , "The Vacant Chair , "
Judge Given made a speech. Mrs. Wollman
closed the program with a recltatlou , and
It wis after 11 o'clock when the audience
left the building.
Members of the Army of the Potomac who
had made arrangements to hold their camp
fire last evening in the Grand Army of the
Republic hall were obliged to give up the
program they had arranged and divided
themselves up among the other gatherings
about the city. The .wind storm was re
sponsible for their disappointment , the direct
cause being the breaking of an
electric light wire by a falling
branch of a tree , and thereby cutting off the
lighting facilities of the hall.
Those who attended the camp flre at the
Broadway Methodist church were well re
paid for venturing out In the rather dis
agreeable weather by being privileged to
listen to a most excellent program. Mr.
E. R. Fonda acted as chairman , and Miss
Ella Luring commenced the entertainment
with an organ voluntary. Rev. Dr. E. G.
Snyder gave the Invocation.
On account of the weather , It was neces
sary to make a few changes In the program ,
but all the numbers given were of a very
high order.
Major Hendershot and son of Chicago
were expected to give their drum music ,
but were unable to attend , and Mr. Fonda
Introduced four comrades from Des Molnes ,
who entertained the audience with camp
flro songs , and the Washington Avenue
School Boy quartet also sang several selec
tions.
Hon. Jacob Sims delivered a very eloquent
address of welcome to the guests , which was
responded to with equal feeling by one who
needs no Introduction to the people of Coun
cil Bluffs , Judge J. C. Hubbard of Des
Molnes. Miss Tina Elliott , who appeared
In the place of Miss Ida Craven of
Marshalltown , won generous rounds of
applause for her splendid rendition of
her recitation , "Wild Zlndcrella. " and
gave as an encore "Banty Tim. " She also
sustained the good Impression she created
again later In the evening.
Hon. W. M. McFarland was the next
speaker , and his excellent and very Interest
ing address was followed by another selec
tion by the Washington Avenue quartet , and
the addresses of Mr. R. R. Randall and of
Dr. E. A. Gullbert of Dubuquc. Dr. Snyder
pronounced the benediction.
All of the speeches were of a most ex
cellent nature , the moisture out of doors
having no effect upon the ardor of the
speakers , and those who took part in the
exercises. It Is to be greatly regretted that
a larger audience was not present to enjoy
them.
