GUEST OF COUNCIL BLUFFS Admiral Schley and Parly Take a Trip Across the Bivor. GREAT OVATION ALONG ENTIRE ROUTE Drive TliroiiKli tlie City nml Kiilriiioiint 1'iirk mill it He- cpilloii | nnil Iiiimilieun at Ilic tirniid Hotel. rtenr Admiral Wlntleld Scott Schley was the guest of Council Hluffs yesterday nnd the people turned out en masse to greet amide do honor to their distinguished visitor. 1m- mcnso throngs lined the streets from the western limits to the entrance to Fall-mount park and the admiral nnd party were ac corded a magnificent ovation along the entire - tire route. The business houses were lib erally decorated , the national colors being displayed on every hand , while largo pic tured of the admiral were to bo seen In al most every store window. Children from the different schools wore gathered In groups along the street * and greeted the visitors with the waving of Hags and lend hurrahs. Business was practically suspended during the forenoon and everybody , young and old , turned out to got a look at Admiral Schley and n shake of the hand If possible. One of the largo motom had been placed at the dis posal of the visiting party by the motor company , the arrangements all being under the personal supervision of General Manager Dlmmock , who spared no pains to provide for the comfort of the party. The car was beautifully decorated nnd attracted much attention as It made the round of the loop In Omaha. At both ends two handsome Hags floated to the breeze , while on both sides Immense Hags were draped In graceful folds. Insldo red and white bunting was tastefully festooned. A large picture of the admiral graced the front door , a handsome Hag being draped above. In one corner of the car was draped a flag that bad hung In the streets of Nashvlllo at the time of the assassination of President Lincoln. The flag was the prop- i orty of Conductor Good , who had charge of ' the car. To le prepared In case of accident or any emergency , a car containing the repair crow followed close behind. At a few minutes before 0 o'clock the car left Pearl and Broadway for Omaha , having on board the members of the reception com mittee and the members of the press. In the party were Mesdames John N. Baldwin , Charles Test Stewart , E. C. Smith , E. F. Test , R. E. Montgomery and Miss Caroline Dodge , Mayor Jennings , Hon. John N. Bald win , Hon. George F. Wright , Hon. Lucius Wclla , ex-Mayor M. F. Rohrer , Postmaster I. M. Treynor , Captain L. B. Cousins , II. W. Binder , A T. Flicktnger , Aldermen Saylos and Motcalf , Colonel E. R. Fonda , F. H. Hill , F. Searlo , William Moore and Secre tary Judson of the Merchants and Manufac turers' association. On reaching Omaha a stop ivas made at. Fourteenth and Douglas streets to take on I board the visitors. Hero a large crowd > had gathered , and , as the carriage con taining the party drove up they were | greeted with cheera. Admiral and Mrs. Schloy and General and Mrs. Manderson , on alighting from the carriage , were re ceived by Mayor Jennings nnd Mr. Baldwin , nnd escorted Into the car , and the otart was at once made for Council Bluffs. After Admiral Schley and party had been Introduced , the ladles settled down for n social chat at one end of the car , while the men gathered round the admiral at the other. Over < he Illver. Arriving at the power house and barns of the motor company the first stop was made. Here a large number of the employes of the company , reinforced by many of the resi dents of the neighborhood , had gathered , and Admiral Schley stepped out onto the rear platform and for n few minutes was busily engaged In shaking hands with the crowd that surged up the car stops. Just as the signal was given to pull out , a woman put up her baby for the admiral to kiss , whlcn he very graciously did. All along the route the streets by this time were crowded with people anxious to catch a sight of the admiral , and at the request of Mayor Jennings , he stood on the rear platform , and , In response to the wel come accorded him , graciously lifted his hat as each group of people was passed. At Pearl and Broadway there was an Im mense crowd , nnd here the admiral re ceived a most enthusiastic ovation. A short stop only was made , nnd then the car pulled out for Falrmount park amidst great cheer ing. From hero to the park the streets on both sides wore densely lined with people. On South First street , on either side , the children of Pierce and Madison avenue schools were drawn up , and the car was stopped for n few seconds to enable them to get n good sight of the naval hero about whom they had read and heard so much. On reaching the park the band , stationed at the pavlllon.struck up "Hall to the Chief. " Hero another Immense crowd was gathered , and It was with considerable dllllculty that the party was escorted to the carriages in waiting. Admiral Schley , arm-ln-nrm with Mayor Jennings , led the way , but they had hardly proceeded a few steps before the I crowd pressed In , every woman being anxious to shake the hero's hand. The High school cadets were drawn up In line , and j ' as the party walked to the carriages pro- Rented arras , In the first carriage were seated the admiral , General Mandorson , ' Mayor Jennings and Mr. Baldwin. The second end contained Mrs. Schloy , Mrs. Manderson and Mrs. Baldwin. Six other carriages con- . talncd the members of thu reception com- j ' mlttco. After a tour of the park the return to the city was made by South First street , where at the Broadway Methodist church the band and cadets were In waiting , and from hero headed the procession through the principal streets until the Grand hotel was reached. Ilforiilluii u < tinr ; ran it llnti'l. The Interval between the parade and the luncheon was occupied by a handshaking re ception In the rotunda of the hotel , during which over L',000 people mut the hero of i Santiago. The rotunda was arrayed In pa [ triotic decorations and hoautlflod by numer I ous stands of potted palmn. Hugo silk Hags I festooned from the border of the skylight formed an almost unbroken circle of red , white and blue around the apartment and opposite the entrance the admiral's Hag , with ! Its dual stare , Indicated the point which the I crowd must pass In order to meet the guest | of the day. Admiral Schley entered the rotunda from his carriage at 11:20. : He was escorted by Mayor Jennings , and General Manderson was piloted by ex-Mayor Hohrer. Their entrance was heralded by a burst of hand- clapping that was scarcely audible owing to the tremendous cheering on the street. The admiral bowed a graceful appreciation. No time was lost In ceremony , and a line was Immediately formed , which passed In front of the receiving party and out at the op- poslto entrance. Mayor Jennings Introduced each comer to Admiral Schley , who cor dially grasped each of his admirers by the band During the next hour there WRB a con stant stream of men nnd women who had been waiting patiently for the opportunity to meet the admiral and then the reception gave place to the lunch that had been spread for the admiral and his party In the private dining room. CiinilillinrntN I lie fiulctn , As only half of I ho crowd that was In walling had been enabled to get Into the hotel nnd shake hands with the admiral , ho was IndllcHd In response to the rails fiom those outside to show hlnwlf on the balcony fronting on First avenue. After the cheering that his presence elicited had subsided , he said : " 1 am completely over whelmed with the magnificent reception that has been tendered me nnd It Is Im possible for me to oxiircss my gratitude for the splendid demonstration that has been accorded me. " This brouMit forth another burst of cheering nnd the admiral stepped back into the hotel. After the doors of the hotel had been closed to the public and as the cadets were passing In front of him , Admiral Schley took occasion to compliment Major Butts In a very neat little speech on the nppear- nnco of tile boys. The apartments of Mm. John N. Baldwin on the. ' parlor floor were exquisitely decorated In honor of the buffet luncheon to Mrs. Schley and Mrs. Manderson. The five rooms were thrown Into ono by folding doors nnd clusters of magnificent roses and cut flowers were profusely scattered throughout the suite. The parlor was ft model of artistic floral decoration. The mantel bore a huge cluster of La Franco nnd August Victor roses. An Immense cluster of bridal wreath rested on the piano and handsome bunches of American Beauties were tastefully arranged all around the room. The effect was particularly beautiful i In the ' 'cozy corner , " which was literally filled with largo clusters of the most mag nificent roses. Bunches of asparagus afforded the element of green that was a happy foil to the bright colors of the roses , which constituted the substantial part of the decorations. The remaining rooms were decorated In a somewhat similar pattern nnd the entlro effect was marvelously beau tiful. Nearly 100 of the most prominent women of Council Bluffs had been invited to meet Mrs. Baldwin's guests , and while the admiral was being entertained by the men In another part of the hotel the purely feminine function was thoroughly enjoyed. Mrs. Schloy nnd Mrs. Manderson , with Mrs. Baldwin , received In the parlor In front of a handsome bower of roses , and aftar 'the ' guests had boon Introduced an hour was passed Informally with refreshments and general social enjoyment. Following the reception Admiral Schloy and General Mnndorson were tendered a luncheon In the ordinary , the guests being limited to a few personal friends of General ! Mauderson. Those at the luncheon were I Mayor Jennings , Lucius Wells , William Moore , August Borcsholm , I. M. Treynor , John N. Baldwin , George F. Wright , N. P. Dodge , Victor 13. Bender , Ernest E. Hart , J. D. Edmundson , B. M. Sargent , M. F. Rohror , John Schoontgen , II W. Binder , Thomas Motcalf , Charles Test Stewart and E. W. Hart. AiiRlo-Saxon * * Fnturc. The dining room was profusely decorated with the choicest of cut flowers , palms and ferns and large clusters of American Beauty roses , the admiral's tuvorlto flower. In the center of the table was n most In genious center piece , representing the ad miral's flagship "The Brooklyn , " made completely from flowers by Florist Wllcox. The luncheon proved not the least cnjoy- able feature by far of the day's festivities and It was close to 2:30 : o'clock before It was ended. After the excellent menu had been discussed nnd the cigars passed around a number of Impromptu speeches were made. Admiral Schloy told a number of good stories and made n short speech , the main keynote of which was that tlie Span ish war demonstrated the fact that the Anglo-Saxon will control the world. Short speeches wore also made by General Man derson and John N. Baldwin. A largo crowd had gathered In front of the hotel nnd vtlien the party boarded the car for the return tip to Omaha Admiral Schley was tendered another ovation to which ho responded by lifting his hat and bowing as the motor moved down Pearl street. Most of the guests at the luncheon accompanied tbe party back across the river. The , special motor was In charge of Con ductor S. C. Good , assisted by Conductor O. H. Pelffer and Motornmn Robert Gregg , as sisted by Motorman C. Barnett , all four of whom wore American Beauty roses In their button holes. Domestic soap out-sells all others.

The supreme court In n lengthy opinion today sets forth the reasons why a married woman may not under the laws of Iowa collect Interest on a note made to her by her husband. Judge Deemer writes the opinion , and Chief Justice Robinson sets forth a directly opposite view In a dissentIng - Ing opinion. Luelln Heacock brought suit to recover $107 92 Interest on a note for $1,000 , with Interest , signed by her hus band , J. J. Hencock , and payable to her out of his estate at the time of his death. The district court rendered a judgncmt for Mrs. Heacock , which Is reversed in the opinion by Judge Deemer. Deemer dwells at lengthen on the holdings In a number of cases In Iowa nnd other states , relating to the legal relations between husband and wife and con cludes that from these. It Is clear that the legal fiction of the oneness of husband nnd wife has not been entirely effaced and that all disabilities which the common law Im poses upon husband and wife by reason of the marriage status still exist , except inso far as they have boon modified or changed by express statutory enactment. Secretary of State Dobson today refused to renew the articles of Incorporation of the Coopers' union , n Davenport corpora tion , because It will not pay the original corporation fee under which It was first chartered and readopt nnd refilo Its old ar ticles of Incorporation. As n consequence the attorneys for the cooper's union will take the matter Into the courts. The ques tion Involved In this controversy Is an old ono , but It has never been carried Into the courts before. For some time Secretary Dobson has Insisted that all corporations whoso charters expire shall pay- the same fee as corporations Just starting. The law being silent In regard to the renewal of charters , the secretary of state has In sisted that It was only In justice to thn public to have the fullest Information recorded as to the charters to be renewed. noixo AFTKit TIIU ii.vric TAXISS.

Hoardman tinvo lately came with such rapid succession that Iowa now expects almost any news In con nection with It. Mrs. Conover of Chicago , daughter of the deceased , laat evening Is sued n lengthy statement through her at torney here , J. L. Carney , which created somewhat of a sensation , but \\lilcli Is ma terially the same as stories heretofore published. But at an adjourned meeting of the city council last evening the climax came when Mayor Frank G. Plcrco read a long message In which ho advised the coun cil to secure the co-operation of county and school olficials and sue the estate for an amount which will probably exceed $ .10,001) ) . For years past Mayor Pierce has endeavored to have the council take action on the low returns made by wealthy citi zens on personal property. For many years Boardman has been paying only on a real valuation of about $ li > ,000 , but sworn state ments of the administrator now on file with ttio county clerk place the valuation on 'personal ' property nlnno at $300,000 , nnd Mrs..Boardmnn's attorneys say there Is an other J100.000 on deposit with the Chicago Trust company , making the old valuation ridiculously low. Mayor Plcrco advised the authorities to commence suit for n largo sum In connection with the county nnd school district. If the authorities prove that fraud was practised In making the returns the Investigation and suit will cover sev eral years and will amount to n lortiiiio. Cri'NiM-nf Driving Cluli Oriaiilri-N.
