Chairman Hart of the Finance comralttuo
has appointed the soliciting committees and
octlvo work to raise the $3,000 needed to
defray the expenses of the reception to the
Fifty-first lown will commence today. The
committees and the districts they arc aa-
Blgncd to are as follows
I'lrst District from Willow avenue south
on Alain and Pearl streets , tak.ng In the
manufacturers' and Jobbers , r H Davis ,
U. U Merrlam and C W McDonald.
Second District Prom Main Htrctt east
and north ot Willow avenue. L A De-
vine , Major Jennings. J. P. Orconshlelds
and F T True.
Third District From Willow avenue north
and from Main Mreet west : Charles U.
Hannan. F II Hill Charles Beno , William
Moore nnd Lucius Wells
It Is the Intention of these committees to
make a thorough canvass of the city before
tbo $1 ribbons nro offered for sale The
ribbons are now being printed. There will
be two ribbons In plico of one , as at first
designed. On the upper ribbon , which will
bo red , will be printed "I Have Have You ? "
This ribbon will bo four Inches long. The
eccond or underneath ribbon will be white
and five Inches in length. On it will be
printed the picture of a soldier and the
wordR "This will buy a soldier a. square
meal. "
Chairman Hart feels confident that by the
day the regiment roachea Council Blurts
( very man , woman and child who can pos- I '
slbly afford to pay $1 will be wearing these I I
ribbons and that a large portion of the i
I
money neceeary to defray the expenfccs of the I
reception can bo secured In this manner. 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. Secretary Tinley is engaged In
the arduous task of addressing a copy of
the following letter to the mayor of every
tonn represented by soldiers in the regi
ment :
COUNCIL BLTJFrS , la , Oct. 17. 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.

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.
The cxecutlva committee will meet this
morning at 10 o'clock In the headquarters
recently established In the Grand hotel.

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.
J P Hess and Secretary Stewart were appointed -
pointed delegates from the association to
attend the Beet Sugar convention , to be
held In Omaha Frldaj.

The first monthly exhibit of specimens
of the work in drawing now being done in
the city schools has been placed In position
on the walls ot the corridor on the third
floor in the Bloomer building. The speci
mens are all neatly mounted on cards and
the collection makes a moat interesting ex
hibit. Much of the work displayed is of
a high order and reflects great credit on
the pupils and Miss Harriet Blood , the
superintendent of drawing and penmanship
in the city schools
This is the first exhibit of the kind and
is the fulfillment of a plan which Miss
Blood has been working on for some time
past and In which bbo has been ably assisted
by the teachers of the different school build
ings. This exhibit will bo changed monthly
and every ouo interested in the work of
the schools is at liberty to Inspect the col
lection , which presents a varied assortment
of subjects. The teachers say that slncei
the pupils learned that such an exhibit waste
to bo made they have taken an increased
interest in their drawing and vie with each
other in doing the best work , with the hope
of having their work selected to bang In
the collection.
The Board of Education occupied its new
quarters on the third floor in the Bloomer
'building for the first time Monday night.
The change from the Washington avenue
building was made necessary , owing to the
Increased attendance at that building. The
board room has been formed by partitioning
off n portion of the corridor at the north
end. The desks of the members End tables
for the superintendent , secretary and super
visor of buildings nro separated from the
lobbj by n neat railing. The room Is taste
fully papered and the woodwork stalnoil a
deep mahogany and varnished , the vvholo
presenting a handsome appearance. It is
well lighted and ventilated.

FORT 1)01)012 , la , Oct. 17 ( Special Tel
egram ) The famous Owl Lake land c'lse ,
which hna been In the courts since 1W , haa
again been acted upon in the Iowa supreme
court , The Owl Like farm , which consisted
of two sections In Humboldt county , hns been
considered a part of the aw amp land grant
of l iO Following the net of lioO the state
of Iowa gnvo the swamp lamls lo the different
counties. At the tlmo of the construction of
the old Fort Rldgcly road , now the Minne
apolis . St. LouUs , the swamp lands of Hum
boldt county were given to the road. Uitcr
Owl Lake was deeded by the road to George
P Pearson , one of Its promoters Mr. i'eir-
son , who Is the fither-ln-law of Congress
man Dolllver and n brothel of i ) K Pesrson ,
the Illinois millionaire , drained the land nnd
made It valuable
Previous to this a petition , supported by
aflldavlts from residents of Humboldt county ,
had been sent to the Interior department ,
and upon this evidence tlie land wis set
nsldo as swampy , nnd patented accordingly.
In 1805 somosqimtltrs settled upon the land ,
claiming that It vns public linil , that Owl
laKe was a lake and not a swamp ami that
therefore the government patent deeding the
ground to Mr. Pearson as swamp land was
null und void. Injunction proceedings were
begun to restrain the squatters from settling
upon the land nnd the case waa llrbt hoirel In
the district court of Humboldt county a ver
dict given for Mr Pearson and the case was !
tlum appealed to tlm Iowa supreme court ,
whcro a doclbion was again given for Mr.
Pearson
A petition for rehearing was filed and the
Iowa supreme court this morning agiln de
cided adversely to Attorney Grncial Rcmley ,
who had ftlcel the petition for the state At
torney General Reinley now threatens to ap
peal the case to the United States supreme
court. The case is important in itself , in
volving as it docs an Immense amount of
money , nnd will have nn important bearing
on future bwamp land litigation.

The Best Chocolate.
When placing on thc.markct the new prod
uct Van Ilouten's ' Chocolate ( for eating ) , some
time ago , the manufacturers had before them
the object of offering buyers a nutritive and di
gestible Chocolate of irreproachable compo
sition , while at the same time more delicious in
flavor than any of the already existing kinds ; in
other words , a Chocolate which , both from the
point of view as to health as well as to flavor ,
should satisfy the most exacting demands , The
universal good opinion concerning Van Ilouten's
Chocolate , seems to prove that this object has
been attained ; and it is recognised as being as
superior to other Chocolates , as Van Ilouten's
Cocoa is superior to other cocoas , When travel
ing , picnicking , or bicycling , it proves of great service.
