The family and friends were greatly dreading for her the noisy cele bration of yesterday , hei condition being such tlmt it did not seem possible for her wearied brain and shattered nerves to endure the suffering which would bo in to n si licet by the racket and bustle of the Fourth. This suffering was spared her.

A GREAT CROWD IN ATTENDANCE Susplclnut Jobbery Caused the Ilorso llctn To Ho Declared OH An linnlnnor Killed Pocket Picking. The KnccH. 'llicro never was n more successful opening day for any meeting than yes terday. The crowd was largo , both amphitheaters being filled. The starter of the races was C. M. Smith , of Karl- villu , one of the best in the land. He has a voice like a trumpet , and n face as good imturcd as n sunbeam , so that his announcements were enjoyable and their clearness added much , for it is too often the ease that the crowd is unable to hear what decisions are given. Mr. Smith is also very prompt and square in his actions. Thu judges were Joseph Gar- neau , Jr. , of Omaha , and C. lialdeue , of this city. The first race was the 2:13 : trot. The starters as placed were : Folly , by J. H. McShano , of Omaha ; Lady Ailclla , by J. W. Voglesong. of Kl.vria , O. ; Uncle Josh , bv J. D. Martin , of Minneapolis ; Atlas , Itarney Loscn , Kansas City ; Nilliam S. , Pierce Smith , of Minneapolis ; .Ncta Pine , by Anderson and Mclntosh , Marietta , Ua. ; Josie G. , by P. 11. Davis , of Milwau kee. kee.An easy start was had and a hot race for this class followed. On the first turn there was such a bunching that Lady Adella crowded into Atlas'wheel , but the collision was not serious , nnd the com plaint made was dropped. Neta Pine won the heat in 2S9 : , Lady Adella second end , Josie G. third , the others coming in the order named : Uncle Josh , William S. and Atlas. Folly was distanced. The scvond heat was not so hot a ono nor so fast. The bunch was broken after the lirst turn , and the horse ? .strung out with no change in relative positions until turning into the homo stretch , They came down in threes , the first three lapping each other , and the places being hotly contested. Lady Adella won thn heat in - ' : ! ! } , Josic G. second , Uncle Josh third , Neta Pine fourth , Atlas fifth , William S. sixth. The third heat was a hot one , the race being really for second place between the two grays , Josie G. ana Uncle Josh. The latter was a little too speedy for Josic , however , although the mare kept her nose close to his a considerable distance. The winner of the lutat , Lady Adella , kept steadily moving nnd easily took the heat in 'JM : ! . Undo Josh was set back to sixth for running , and thu second place given to Josie G. Nota Pine took third , William L. fourth , Atlas fifth. The fourth heat caused a change about. In the start off Atlas cast a shoo , but it seemed to make little with him. William S. won the heat and Neta Pine second. The race was a pretty ono between these two. Josie G. came in third , while Lady Adella , to the surprise of many , dropped to fourth , after running two heats. Atlas was fifth and Uncle Josh sixth. Time 3:8.H. : There was no little excitement caused by the fifth heat. It was ten seconds slower than the opening ono of the race , the time being 'J:8SIJ. : To the surprise of all it was won by Neta Pine , Lady Adella second , Josie G. third , Uncle Josh fourth , and William S. fifth. Atlas was drawn. The feeling that Lady Adella was not driven to win was so strong that the judges called a now driver to take the reins. The sixth heat was slow nnd tamo. The time was 2:10 : , und the heat was won by William S. . Ncta Pine second and Lady Adella third. The seventh was the deciding heat. It was tame. William S. won easily , jog ging in. The only race was between Lady Adella and Nota Pine for second. They came under the wire nose and nose. It was 7:30 : o'clock when the race was completed. The time of the last heat was 2:441. : William S. was given the first money. Netalino and Lady Adella divided second and third money , Josie G. was given fourth. The judges announced that pooh and bets would not bo paid until farther notice. THE 2:20 : THOTTING. The second race of the day was the 2:2 : ( trot. The starters were placed as named "Rose Standish , " R. E. Lee , Topeka Kan. , taking the polo ; "Elenwood Chief , " R. T. Kneobs. Sioux City ; White Stockings , " Bob Stewart , Kansas City "Bob M , " Murphy Bros. , Iowa City. White Stocking won , Elmwood Chic second , Bob M third , Rose Standish dis tanced. Time-3:80J : , 2:27 : | , 3:231. : The judges in announcing first money for White Stocking , and second for Elm wood Chief , and third to Bob M. , stated that they believed there was "funny1 business , and they would investigate further before deciding as to bets ant pools. In the meantime no bets or pooli on the race should bo paid , but held until a decision was rendered. As tin pools and bets were in the main on cacl heat as a separate rnce , this announce ment caused no little questionings , bu the judges decided that each heat hai been decided and announced ; and bet or pools sold on heats , instead of on tin race , were already settled by the decia ions of heats. heats.THE THE 3:25 PACING was the third event of the day. Tin starters named as they drew their places were : Nellie B , R. E. Curry , Salina Kan. ; Mambrras Prince , A. Heokenbei ger , West Liberty , Iowa ; Bessie Moore George W. Farrier , Minneapolis ; Ex press , Silas Walters , Hiawatha , Kan , Monkey Rolle , J. U. Farrow , Paris , III. Little Ida , J. W. Voglesong , Elyria , O. Bar Dramond , Aho Devme , Ean Claire Wis. Little Ida won two straight heat in 2:23 : and 2:21 : } . The race was uc finished on account of darkness. TI1K POOLS OFF. The judges made the nnnounccmcn that niter duo deliberation they cor eluded that ; thcre was somothin "queer" about thn 3:43 : trot and 2:26 : trol and that all pools and bets should bo dc clarcd off. They were strongly of th belief that n job had been put up , an that Adella was pulled. They propose to investigate , and to punish those wh were found to be concerned in tl scheme. Mr. Smith said to nrr was tin man , but they preferred to err , if err the must , on the side of justice. DAY VIKK M'OUKS.

The competitive drill of the three cot panics of the Fifth regiment , Iowa sta guards , was an interesting feature of t afletnoon at the driving park. 1 ho rej mental baud not only made music , b performed some very pleasing mane ir vres. The three companies drilled we irr. The Shenandoah company took lii r.t ! prize of $100 , the Council i Bluffs sccou ) f f50 , and the Ulenwood company i thii ) f $25. The Judges wore Judge Perkins , 0 Boone , Cyrus Reed andC. W. TcOmpsc TO-UAY'8 RACKS. The 2:25 : pabing race will bo finish to-day. The 2:20 : trotting and 9:35 : pi ing , with a chariot race , complete t Tlio Patriotic Pnrnito. The Fourth was celebrated In Council Binds with more enthusiasm than on any such anniversary for years past. At nn early hour the day opened with all the noise that powder and drums could make , nnd soon after nn early breakfast hour the streets assumed the liveliness of a metropolis. The arriving trains brought hundreds into the city , and teams came rolling in from all directions , until the streets were full of people. The chief features of the forenoon wore the parade of the Knights of Labor and military , with the exercises in Buyliss park. The parade was a line one. The Fifth regiment band came first , twenty pieces , giving excellent marches. Three companies of the Fifth regiment lown State guards came next. They were company A , of this city , company C , of Glenwood , and company K , of Shonandoah. They presented u line appearance , marching well , and hav ing a very soldierly bearing. The Grand Army came next , the old soldiers oeing out in largo numbers. The German- American band followed , giving some of its sweetest music. The Knights of La bor , the typographical union , and other organizations came marching along and then came the odicers of the day and the city olllcials in carriages. In the lir t carriage was Mayor Gronoweg , Colonel Sapp , president of the day ; Hon. Jesse Harper , of Illinois , the orator of thu day , and City Auditor Kiniiehan. in the next carriage were 1 > . K. Gleason , of the Knights of Labor , Miss Nellie Hatcher , who was the reader of the day , and her father , Captain Hatcher. Other carriages contained the aldermen , city clerk uud other ollieials. The patrol wagon filled with police men , presented a showing of the strong arm of the city. Chief Templeton , of the fire department , followed in a pony rig so small that had it not been for the dignified bearing of the worthy ollicial , otic would bo strongly reminded of the clown's conveyance in tnu circus parade. The hose carts , hook and ladder and other apparatus of thu department , were also in the parade. The lire department was in uniform , but the apparatus had none of the decorations which from time immemorial have formed an essential in Fourth of July parades. The parade also lacked the ragamuffin display which characterized the old fashioned shows ot this kind. The procession was finished off with citizens in carriages. The mar shals of the day were Vic Keller , M. F. Rolircr , Captain O'Neill , E. J. Abbott , J. J' . Snow and Ed. Mott. The exorcises in Bayliss park proved to be very much more interesting than is usual on such occasions. The Fifth regi ment band occupied the music stand in the center of the park , and gave-some excellent numbers. One of the best was "Recollections of the War. " This is a the potpquri , which brings a great deal of descriptive music , representing the sceuee of the war , nnd many familiar airs were interwoven , of the songs which were so often sung by the boys in blue. The platform erected for the speakers was draped in the national colors and adorned with Hags. Col. Sapp presided with usual grace and good judgment. Miss Hatcher read clearly the declara tion of independence. It was a rather formidable declaration for a graceful and winning young lady to make appear very warlike , or bold , but she read it as well as any feminine voice could utter such strong sentiments. The orator of the day , Colonel Jesse Harper , proved a happy surprise. Ho got out of the old ruts , so common to the spreaders of the eagle on these occasions , and gave a sharp , sprightly , popular ad dress , to which a large audience listened attentively from beginning to finish. The theme of his address was n 'Warning of the nation against the centralization of wealth. Ho pictured the nations of the earth as individuals , having their birth days , their growth of years , their devel opment , their death , lie urged the im portance of avoiding those practices which have caused death to other nations , nnd following the history from Egypt down ho showed thai as the wealth was allowed to get into the hands of the few , so decay began in national life , and ruin soon followed. When Egypt went down the whole land was owned by three per cent of the people , while the rest were without homes of their own. Persia , Greece , Rome , drifted ono after another into the same error. When in the life of every one of these nations , there came n period when a small per cent of the people ple owned all the land , the nation went down. He then gave the figures in re gard to this country , showing that for tne first sixty-live years of its history , five-eighths of the people were land own ers , and how during the past twenty years there had been a rapid drifting towards centralization of wealth , tne per cent of home owners decreasing nt a frightful rate. This led him to the labor and capital question , and ho presented some startling facts and figures concern ing this. His address throughout , despite the seriousness nnd solemnity of the warning words ho uttered , was brightened by Hashes of wit , bright beams of humor and telling points. Ladies , even , who seemed hardly able physically to endure such n strain , stood for over an hour , eagerly listening to the gifted speaker , nnd seemingly unconscious of the passing time. His quaint way of presenting 11 thought , and his informal yet earnest expressions and hir peculiar mannerisms added much to the cnjoyability of the address. For once the rule of having a gaudily docked oration of Fourth ol July bombast Ifas had an exception , While there was much patriotic enthubi- asm in the oration , still there was much more than this , nnd much indeed whieli those who heard can carry with them long after the noise of the powder is for gotten.
