Ho ' said jcsterday : 'This la a matter of patriotism , and I be- llevo everyone ought to buy at least one of the ) ribbons. Any man who can afford the $1 and is not wearing one of these ribbons bens on the day of the reception , will , in my opinion , bo deserving of criticism. " Mr. Hart expects to announce the com mittees 1hls morning , who will have charge of the disposal of these ribbons throughout the city. Acting on instructions from the executive committee.

To the Ma > or : As > ou have undoubtedly seen , an effort has been organized to welcome the return of the Fifty-first regiment to the state , and pursuant to that Idea an organ- i7atlon has been perfected to make this wel come thoroughly In keeping- with the pleas ure and pride our state feels In the recoid made by this regiment. We notice that your city is represented in the regiment by having one or more members , and as It la very desirable that every municipality so directly interested should take an active pait , we urge upon you the propriety of your organizing in your city a local committee to take pirt In the celebration ; and that > ou also ap- pojnt and send to us as soon as posslblo the names ot three or more of your cltUens to put upon the general reception com mittee . We mall you herewith a general circular letter that we have caused to be mailed to all the cities and towns of the state , but In view of jour particular Interest wo write the above and urge the appointment of the committee suggested. Please let me hear from you as soon at possible , sending me the names ot such committee. Very truly yours , EMMET TIN LEY. Secretary. The committee towhich was assigned the duty of securing halls and headquarters Is having considerable difficulty In procuring the needed number. Chairman Llpo and Frank True of the committee jesterday made a tour of the business part of the city and contracted for every vacant store build ing , but found the number of such buildings very few. These vacant stores are to bo utilized for headquarters for the different companies. The committee has also secured the use of all the public halls and lodge rooms in the city. The banquet at which two thousand sol diers end guestb are expected to be present will have to bo divided into three sections , as there is no hall in the city large enough to accommodate such a gathering. At present the plan Is to servo the banquet In the largo hall at the Masonic temple , the Odd Fellows' hall and on the second and third floors of the Elseman building The breakfast that It proposed to glvo the bojs immediately on reaching here will be served according to present plans , in the now freight house of the Terminal company , at Ninth street and Broadway. Mayor Jennings Is already In receipt of numerous inquiries regarding the reception from outsldo towns , among the number re ceived yesterday being ono from Hov. S. A. Arnold of Newton , Jasper county , who writes that ho has two sons In Company M.

At a meeting of the executive committee of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' asso ciation last night a committco consisting of General E. F , Teat , L A Devlno nnd F. H Hill was appointed to take up with the of ficials of the Northwestern railway In Chicago cage the matter of the service of trains on the Klkhorn road , The committee was ap pointed for the direct purpose of trjlng to Induce the railway company to run Its trains on the Elkhorn In and out ot Council Bluffs to accommodate the trade and tramc from this city The Jobbers and manufacturers , and more especially tbo Implement men , have a largo trade In and ohIp a vast quantity of goods to that portion of Nebraska and the Black Hills district reached by the ElUhorn At present all firms in this city shipping to that section of the country have either to send tliclr goods round by Missouri Valley or send them by wagon to Omaha , the lat ter arrangement entailing a heavy expense , The Implement firms of this city during what Is known in the trade as the repair ucason especially feel the need of closer connection with the Elkliorn. U is argued that tbo BlUUorn could easily run Its trains to and from this city over the Terminal company's brldgo with very little extra ex pense , and that the trade which the com pany derives from this city entitles the jobbers and manufacturers to such a serv ice. Instead of being compelled , as now , to practically haul nil of their goods to tbo Webster etreet depot in Omaha Efforts to secure this service have In the pruit fulled with the local official ? of the road , and now the association will take the matter up with the bead officials In Chl- ate and > ce it something cannot bo done In the matter.
