President Adams Here ,
The announcement in ycsterdaj 's Br.i ;
hat President Adams and other promi
nent ollicials of the Union Paeilic would
> o over on this side of the river caused
some comment , but not much surprise ,
is the understanding has been for some
time that when the president visited this
: mrt of tlio west he would not forget
Jouncil IJluH's , but would give an oppor
tunity for Its citlx.cns to present such
grievances as seemed most important.
Tim Br.i : man on starting down to the
ransfer yesterday inquired of Cieorgo F.
Wright and others , supposed to be posted
m railway and city matters , as to what
was to be done , but lie seemed not to
know an.vthing about the arrangements
'or a conference. At the transfer Mr. N.
I' . Doiljrc. was found waiting for some
thing , but ho seemed also to be there for
some other purpo.-o than for a confer-
once. As the \\Kfi \ \ man was making some
inquiries of Mr. Dodge , with no very
satisfactory results , ( ieorgo F. Wright ap
peared on the platform. It was not lon < :
before the special train bearing the olh-
cial warty came steaminir across the
bridge. Superintendent Dorranco came
up to where Mr. Wright and Mr. Dodge
were chatting , and invited those gentle
men to go with him to the car to see Mr.
Adams. The Br.i : man was not invited
to join in the conference , so that all that
passed within the little palace on wheels
cannot be given.
Enough \vi\s \ learned , however , to satisfy -
isfy the curiosity of the news gatherer.
The party in tlio car consisted of Presi
dent Adams , Director Frank Adams.
Manager Callaway , Thomas L. Klmball
and Mr Dorrance. After being joined
i > y Mr. Wright and Mr. Dodge , two
other Iowa notables were invited in , they
liaving arrived at the Transfer hotel on
the morning Hock Island train. These
were L. S Colliu , of Fort Dodge , and
Peter A. Dey.of lowaCity.two of tlio rail
way commissioners of the state. They
kept closely closeted in the car , which
stood on the track for about two hours.
The chief topic discussed was tli3 tax
ation of the road on its property in Coun
cil HluUs. Recent action was taken by
lhe executive board of Iowa by which the
Union Paeilic is assessed for its mileage
in Iowa the same as other roads. The
assessment under the mileage system was
made on the basis of 2 il7-l)0 ( ) miles , the
valuation of which was made at $100,000 a
mile , so that , the assessed valuation made
by the executive board is $2:17,000. : The
union Paeilio ollicials , as well as some
Council Hlntls citi/.ens who were sup
posed to have caused this new assess
ment to be made , supposed that this was
an additional assessment , instead of one
to take the place of tlio assessment made
here as before , it having heretofore been
the practice for the city to assess the
Qierly the same as that of any other
ness. The matter has been the sub
ject of some investigation , and has led
to the discovery that possibly this
could not in law become an additional
assessment , but , the only one.
It was this point which was the tonic of
talk yesterday by the closely closeted
party. This was the purpose of seeking
a conference with the state railway com
missioners , and probably the two Council
lUulls citi/.ens were called in to give ex
pression to the feeling of this city jn re
gard to it. The railway commissioners
seemed to have no doubt but that if tlio
road was assessed as other roads are by
the exccntmi board , at so much per mile
for what track it had in Iowa , then it
could not be assessed by Council BluIVs
besides under the former way as city
property. The new form of assessment
was simply a substitute for the old. In
this view of the case the question then
arose us to whether under the new form
of assessment the Union Paeilic would
have to pay less or greater taxes. It
scorned from the showing that the Union
Pacille would save taxes by the now
method , and that Council Bluffs would
lose. Mr. Wright claimed that this would
not do , for the people hero would never
bo content with huriny the Union Paeilio
pay less taxes hero than they had been
paying. Such was the talk in substance.
Another subject of conversation was
the feeling hero in regard to the Union
Pacitic. Air. Wright and Air. Dodge both
felt , and so expressed themselves , that it
would not do to ignore the claims of
Council Binds , and that a full free chance
should be given Mayor Chapman and
other prominent citizens to voice their
sentiments , and to show their causes of
complaint , nnd to present their requests.
It was decided that President Adams and
his party would oomo over here again
tliis morning , and would then see these
Council Blulls gentlemen , and look over
the city and its needs. The conference
closed about noon , and the special car
was whirled back to Omaha airain , with
out any of tlio distinguished visitors leav
ing it to oven take a look at the stock
yards.
In order to have matters in proper
shape for presentation to President Ad
ams , a quiet mooting of shippers , mer
chants , and prominent citi/.ens. was held
yesterday afternoon. Documents were
drawn up , arrangements made for re
ceiving the visitors , and other details de
cided upon , so that there might bo no de
lay or balks in carrying out the pro
gramme of the conference to be held to
day.

Tlio Mercer Case.
The examination of Mrs , lluuur. alias
Frank , on the charge of enticing Lulu
Mercer into a house of prostitution in
Omaha , was continued here yesterday.
The doors were still kept closed by the
request of the defendant , who uvitlcntly
ilislikes to got the afl'air paraded before
the pnblio any more than can bo helped.
The testimony yesterday was on the part
of the defense , the attempt being made
to break down the reputation of the girl.
The first witness was Joseph Lewis ,
who drove the hack in which Airs. Ilulur
wont to the Mercer house. He had no
conversation with them , but he under
stood from what ho heard that the girl
was going to a sporting house in Omaha.
Sophia Slasher , who is n cook in tlio
employ of Mrs. Iluber , was the next witness
'
ness , 'She said that the doors of the
house xvcro open , and Lulu could have
got away any time if she wanted to. She
claimed that the girl did not act like an
innocent , but justliko the other girls in
the house.
Hurt Heardsloy , an employe of Met
calfe's saloon , swore that ho saw Lulu
Mercer in one of the stalls of the saloon
prior to the time she went to Omaha. lie
dul not know of her drinking with men ,
but iio know of her having drank after U
o'clock ut night. Ho also swore that
Motcalfo's saloon was a respectable place
so far as he know.
Mrs. Uebeeca Lewis , who keeps a secondhand
ond-hand store in Omaha , testified that
she had seen Lulu 'Mercer there in com
pany with sporting women on several oc
casions.
Policom.an O'Brien testified that ho had
seen her'coming from balls late at night ,
and oneo.coming from a dance given uy
Pardue. Ho did not consider her reputa
tion very good ,
Mrs. lltibor herself testified that she
cnmu over to the Blufl's to get some girls
to board nt her place , will that she made
inquiries of a hack-driver , who told her
about the Mercer girl. She did not find
the girl making any objection" } to staying
in the house , after she got there.
William Scott and Charles Crow , of
Omaha , were called on to testify as to
her character while she was nt work in
hotels in Omaha. They swore she wore
short dresses , nnd that her reputation
was not of the best.
The testimony against the girl's char
acter was not so strong as was threat
ened , and seemed to bo made mostly of
opinions and from small actions which of
themselves were far from showing her to
be the hardened character Mrs Iluber
would have the public believe.
Xtic Count ) ' Ilonds.
The peculiar manner in which the
county board has advertised for bids for
its court house bonds has caused some
comment already. Some of the banks
feel touchy because the board favors one
of the banks of the city to the exclusion
of the others , giving this bank free adver
tisement and special prominence by de
claring that the bonds will be deposited
there , and that the successful bidder can
there got the bonds and there pay for
them. It is also claimed that the board
enti make no suoh arrangement , as under
the law the comity auditor has to turn
them over to the county treasurer , who
gives a receipt for them , and that the
county treasurer , and not the board , haste
to sollthe bonds.
Another objection raised in financial
circles is that the board proposes to
receive no bids except for the entire
amount of bonds , $130,009 , although only
iMO.OUO will bo delivered now. if 10,000 to
be delivered in October , ami the remain-
inir $10,000 not to bo delivered until June ,
IBS ? . Tno idea of oidding on bonds
which the purchaser cannot have for a
year yet is said to bo very foolish , and
there , who are posted in such matters de
clare that the county will by no means
gel as favorable bids as would be made if
only if 10,000 at a times was ollcrcd.
The bonds are first class , and with any
reasonable chance to allow a good Held
for bidders , there would be a large num
ber of bids , and a lively scramble to irct
the bonds. By the peculiar restrictions
made by the board , it is claimed that the
number of bidders will be smaller than
otherwise , and the bids will not be as
high.
It is also urged that some broker might
hid on the whole amount , intending to
take for some customer only $10,000 of
the amount , and after getting what he
wanted , might afterwards decline to take
the rot ol the bonds a year from now.
It seems that there is no end to the
amount of criticism called forth by the
manner of advertising for the bids.

The Poet Preuoher ,
The Burlington road is putting ou t
some beautiful little pamphlets illustrat
ing the beauties of Oregon , 111. , and its
attractions as a summer resort. Among
the tributes paid to the place is n beauti
ful poem by Margaret Fuller , and some
quotations from letters written by Bayard
Taylor and other distinguished persons ,
Oregon is the old home of Rev. G. W.
Croft , pastor of the Congregational
church of this city , and when ho received
last year a similnr pictorial showing of
the beauties of his boyhood home , he wns
so pleased that ho acknowledged the re
ceipt in a few lines , inspired by refreshed
recollections of the past' The little poem
is given n place in this year's book. Like
nil of Mr. Croft's poems it is wi-11 worth
reading and preserving. There is a
probability that during the coming year
tlio fugitive pieces from his pen will _ bo
gathered up in the form-of an attractive
volume. Some of hisfrlcnds are strongly
urging him to have a volume published ,
nnd this will probably result. His ninny
friends will bo glad to have an opportu
nity of thus giving him n permanent
place iu their libraries.

our A. B. C. Soap on the most magnificent scale c\cr attempted by any one firm.
Three years ago we started out to sell A. B. C Soap on its merits , to-day thousands of the mosl
intelligent housekeepers in this and all the principal cities of the Union use our A. B. C. Soap and marvel
why it is not used in every home. >
The principal grocers throughout the Union tell s one reason why its use has not become genera )
is that'f
lias not been sufficiently advertised ; and another reason is , because many people who have bought it , did
not give it the necessary and intelligent attcnlion it deserves. They did not read the dircclions , and
finding that il would not wash by laying A. B. C. Soap on top of the bundle of soiled clothes , they fell
back to five cent soap.
1-housands wn nus : "Your A B. C. Soap is all that you claim for itj it not only gives satisfaction ,
but we find that our most intelligent customers say that it is
& . BLESSING IN THE HOUSEHOLD
and arc enthusiastic and speak in the highest terms of praise about it. Why don't you advertise it ? "
It is therefore thai we are making Ihis exlraordinary effort to bring A. 13. C. Soap to the notice of
every intelligent person and in order to induce every one to buy it , and continue to use it until they have
fully tested its merits , we say to them
SAVE THE ABC WRAPPERS

an array of presents which , lor magnificence and usefulness , surpasses everything heretofore offered by
any one firm.
Send four cents in stamps and we will send you a catalogue , which is now in course of prcparatioa
und which will give you a full description of all the presents and the mode
TO OBTAIN A PRESENT
Those who have not used A. B. C. Soap , of course , will ask , "what is it ? "
A. B. C. Soap is our own invention , and all who have used it cheerfully concede to it the merit of
being the greatest improvement ever made in domestic economy. A. B. C. Soap , and the MODE OF
WASHING WITH IT , is as different from all other soaps , and the old way of washing , and is as
.much an improvement over the old system , as traveling by railway is over thai by an ox-cart. A girl of
t8 , or the most delicate person , can wash
WITHOUT THE LEAST EXERTION.
in one hour , more clothes with A. B. C. Soap , than the most robust , with the hardest work and slavish toil
i jn wash with the best soap , and the old way of washing , in three hours. And withal , A. B. C. Soap'is
tVje mildest and sweetest soap ever manufactured. We warrant you can wash baby with it and it will look
a sweet and fresh as a rose.
