Hear Admiral Wlnfleld Scott Schlejr was the guest of Council Bluffs yesterday and ! the people turned out en masse to greet and , do honor to their distinguished visitor. Im- mcnso throngs lined the streets from the western limits to the entrance to Falrmount park and the admiral and party wore ac corded a magnificent ovation along the en tire route. The business houses were lib erally decorated , the national colors being displayed on every hand , while largo plc- turea of the admiral were to bo seen In al most every store window. Children from the I different schools were gathered In groups along the streets and greeted the visitors I with the waving of flags and loud hurrahs , ' Business was practically suspended during I the forenoon and everybody , young and old , I turned out to got a look at Admiral Bchley and a shake of the hand If possible. One of I the largo motors 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 j Dlmmock , who spared no pains to provide | for the comfort of the party. The car was beautifully decorated and attracted much i attention as It made the round of the loop In Omaha. At both ends two handsome flags I floated to the breeze , while on both sides Immense flags 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 flag being draped above. In ono corner of the car was draped a flag that had hung In the streets of Nashville at the time of the assassination of President Lincoln. The flag was the prop erty of Conductor Good , who had charge of the car. To be prepared In case of accident or any emergency , a car containing the repair crow followed close behind. At a few minutes ocfore 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 presa. In the party were Mesdames John N. Baldwin , Charles Test Stewart , E. C. Smith , B. P. Test , R. E. Montgomery and Miss Caroline Dodge , Mayor Jennings , Hon. John N. Bald win. Hon. George F. Wright , Hon. Lucius Wells , ex-Mayor M.

Searlo , William Moore and Secre tary Judson of the Merchants and Manufac turers' association. On reaching Omaha a stop was made at. Fourteenth and Douglas streets to take on | board the visitors. Here a large crowd had gathered , and , as the carriage con taining the party drove up they were greeted with cheers. Admiral and Mrs. Schloy and General and Mrs. Manderson , on alighting from the carriage , were re ceived by Mayor Jennings and Mr. Baldwin , and escorted Into the car , and tie etart was at once made for Council Bluffs. After Admiral Schley and party had been Introduced , the ladles settled down for a social chat at one end of the car , while the | men gathered round the admiral at the other. Over the Hirer. Arriving at the power house and barns of the motor company the flrst 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 Schloy stopped out onto the rear platform and for a few minutes was bually engaged In shaking hands with the crowd that eui'ged ' 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 , und at the request of Mayor Jennings , he stood on the rear platform , and , In response to the wel come accorded htm , graciously lifted his hat as each group of people was passed. At Pearl and Broadway there was an Im mense crowd , and here the admiral re ceived a most enthusiastic ovation. A short stop only was made , and 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 a few seconds to enable them to got a good sight of the naval hero about whom they had read and board so much. On reaching the park" the band , stationed at the pavilionstruck up "Hall to the Chief. " Here another Immense crowd was gathered , and It was with considerable difficulty that the party was escorted to the carriages In waiting. Admiral Schley , arm-in-arm with Mayor Jennings , led the way , but they had hardly proceeded a few steps before the crowd pressed In , every woman being anxious to shake the hero's band. The High school cadets were drawn up In line , and as the party walked to the carriages pre sented arms. In the flrst carriage were seated the admiral , General Manderson , Mayor Jennings and Mr. Baldwin. The second end contained Mrs. Schloy , Mrs. Manderson and Mrs , Baldwin. Six other carriages con tained the members of the reception com mittee. After a tour of the parlc the return to the city was made by South First street , where at the Broadway Methodist church the band and cadets were In watting , and from here headed the procession through the principal streets until the Grand hotel was reached , Ilecriitlon nt the firiiml Hotel. The Interval between the parade and the luncheon was occupied by a handshaking re ception In the rotunda of tbo hotel , durtug which over 2,000 people mat the hero of Santiago , The rotunda was arrayed In pa triotic decorations and beautified by numer ous stands of potted palms. Hugo silk flags festooned from the border of tbo skylight formed an almost unbroken circle of red , white and blue around the apartment and opposite the entrance the admiral's flag , with Us dual stars , Indicated the point which the crowd must pass In order to meet tbo guest of the day , Admiral Schley entered the rotunda from his carriage at 11:20. : Ho was escorted by Mayor Jennings , and General Manderson was piloted by ox-Mayor Rohrer , 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 posite entrance. Mayor Jennings introduced each comer to Admiral Schley , who cor dially grasped each of bis admirers by the hand. During the next hour there was a con stant stream of men and women who had been waiting patiently for the opportunity to meet the ndmlrnl and then the reception Have place to the lunch that hail been spread for the admiral and hln party In the private dining room. ComiillmeiilN tlio Ciuletn , As only halt of the crowd that wan In waiting had been enabled to get Into the hotel and shako hands with the admiral , ho was Induced In response to the calls from those outside to show himself on the balcony fronting on First avenue. After the cheering that his presence elicited had subsided , he said : "I am completely over whelmed with the magnificent reception that has been tendered mo and It Is Im possible for mo to express my gratitude for the splendid demonstration that has been accorded me. " This brought forth another burst of cheering and the admiral stepped back Into the hotel. After the doors of the hotel had been clostd to the public and as the cadets were passing In front of him , Admiral Schley took occasion to compliment Major Butts j ' In a very neat little speech on the appcar- once of the boys. The apartments of Mrs. John N. Baldwin on the parlor floor were exquisitely decorated In honor of the buffet luncheon to Mrs. Schloy and Mrs. Manderson. The five rooms were thrown Into ono by folding doors and clusters of magnificent roses and | cut flowers were profusely scattered throughout the suite. The parlor was a model of artistic floral decoration. The mantel bore a hugo cluster of La Franco and 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 In th "cozy corner , " which was literally tilled with largo clusters of the most magI I nlflcent 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 and the entire effect was marvelously beau tiful. Nearly 100 of the most prominent women of Council Bluffs had been Invited to moot 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 and Mrs. Manderson , with Mrs. Baldwin , received In the parlor In front of a handsome bower of roses , and after 'the ' guests had been Introduced an hour was passed Informally with refreshments and general social enjoyment. Following the reception Admiral Schloy and General Mandorson were tendered a luncheon In the ordinary , the guests being limited to a few personal friends of General Manderson. Those at the luncheon were Mayor Jennings , Lucius Wells , William Moore , August Boresholm , I. M. Treynor , John N. Baldwin , George P. Wright , N. P. Dodge , Victor B. Bender , Ernest E. Hart , J. D. Edmundson , B. M. Sargent , M. P. Rohror , John Schoentgen , H W. Binder , Thomas Metcalf , Charles Test Stewart and E. W. Hart. AnRlo-Snxnnn' Fntnre. The dining room was profusely decorated with the choicest of cut flowers , palms and ferns and largo clusters of American Beauty roses , the admiral's favorite flower. In the center of the table was a most In genious center piece , representing the ad miral's flagship "Tho Brooklyn , " made completely from flowers by Florist Wllcox. The luncheon' proved not the least enjoy 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 and the cigars passed around a number of Impromptu speeches were made. Admiral Schloy told a number of good stories and made a short speech , the main keynote of which was that the Span ish war demonstrated the fact that the Anglo-Saxon will control the world. Short speeches were also made by General Man derson and John N. Baldwin. A large crowd Jiad gathered In front of the hotel and when 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 the party back across the river. Tha special motor was In charge of Con ductor S. C. Good , assisted by Conductor O. H. Pclffer and Motorman Robert Gregg , as sisted by Motorman C. Barnett , all four of whom wore American Beauty roses In their button boles.

The supreme court In a lengthy opinion today sets forth the reasons why n married woman may not under the laws of Iowa collect Interest on a note made to her by her husband. Judge Decmer writes tlio opinion , and Chief Justice Iloblnson sets forth a directly opposite view In a dissent ing opinion. Luella Heacock brought suit to recover | 167 D2 Interest on a iioto for $1,000 , with Interest , signed by her hus band , J. J. Heacock , and payable to her out of his estate at the time of his death. The district court rendered a judgnemt for Mrs. Hcacock , which Is reversed In the opinion by Judge Deemer. Deemer dwells at lengthen on the holdings In a number of cases In Iowa and 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 and 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 been 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 flrst chartered and readout , and refllo Its old ar ticles of Incorpor'atlpn. As a 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 thai It was only In justice to the public to have the fullest Information recorded as to the charters to bo renewed. roi\r APTIJII Tin : HACK TAXISS.

Doardman have 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 , last evening Is sued a lengthy statement through her at torney here , J. L. Carney , which created somewhat of n sensation , but which Is ma terially the same as stories heretofore published. Dut at an adjourned meeting of the city council last evening the climax came when Mayor Prank G. Pierce read a long message In which ho advised the coun cil to secure the co-operation of county and school officials und sue the estate for an amount which will probably exceed $50OOQ. 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 yeats Doardman has been paying only on a real valuation of about $15,000 , but sworn state ments of the administrator now on fllo with the county clerk place the valuation on 'personal ' property alone at $300,000 , and Mrs..IJonrilman'8 attorneys eay thcra Is an other $108,000 on deposit with the Chicago Trust company , making the old valuation ridiculously low. Mayor Pierce advised the authorities to commence suit for a large sum In connection with the county and 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 a fortuiio.
