A city which will allow such robbery for the sake of n few dollars lu II- ccnsu needs a little reform. Tlio police station was a sleepy place yes- tordwy. Tlio people had crowded to the driving park mid to Mnnnwa mid loft the principal streets deserted. The business houses wcro closed , nnd altogether there was little life on any of the beats. The funeral of .T. S. McClrcw , the Bur lington fi Missouri switchman who was killed In Oinnhn Monday night , will tnko Place at 10. iJO o'clock this morning from the rcildenco of his parents , corner of Fourth and Woith street's In tliU city. The de ceased was twcnty-ono years of age. Some complaint is nmdo that the motors do not give loud enough signals in approach ing street crossings. A luneral procession the other day had a narrow escape from bn- ing run into. On the other hand , if the motor makes too much of a screeching and a ringing , residents along the llnu complain of the noise. There is much discussion as to whether cypress blocks arc better or worse than cedar blocks for paving. As there is con siderable p.iving to bo done this summer on resilience sticets where wood Is to bo used thcio uro many who ate Interested , and their dcslro to get the most for the least money causes the discussion to bo quito gencinl. There wns such n crowd wanting to go to Mnnuwu yesterday that the capacity ot the motor line was not sulllcient to nccommodatu nil. Men rushed In where angel \\omen feared to tread , and many families would not submit to the necessary Jamming and sweltering , preferring to seek other places for passing llio day. As U. P. Ofllccr was going along one ot the residence streets In thn Fourth ward Tues day evening two suspicious looking fellows stepped out of an alley and came towards him , separating , ono on each slue as they ad vanced. Mr. Ofllcer chanced to have his umbrella with him. and us it wax tightly rolled , it looked , in tiio dusk , like a goodly club , nnd as ho seemed thus prepared for such an emergency they slinkcd away with out causing him any trouble.

Quito a number of patriotically inclined citizens began their celebration of the "glori ous Fourth" a little prematurely , and the re sult wns they wcro landed in the cooler long before sunrise yesterday morning. Judge Aylesworth thought it rather tough to keep them locitcd up on the day we celebrate , and concluded to hold n short term of court for their beneilt. John Hogau was turned over to Sheriff Kichinbcrg , of Plnttsmouth , who wanted him for an assault in the latter city. James Murray and C. II.

Jailer White was left in full posses sion , and as soon as court had adjourned he elevated his pedal extremities to the marble mantel nt the right of the throne of justice and settled himself for a day of uninter rupted peace nnd enjoyment.

The observance of the Fourth of July at Council Uluffs demonstrated that patriotism nnd respect for American institutions , while not always apparent , is latent in every heart , and needs only the occasion to make it mani fest. At 11 o'clock the preceding night the enthusiasm began with the booming of guna , cannon , crackers , etc. , and continued with little Interruption during the night. With tno dawn en-no a glorious day , and very early the streets wcro thronged with our own populace nnd hundreds who came in from the surrounding country. The early trains brought many others , as did each ar rival of the dummy tr.iln , until fully JiU.OOO wcro hero to Join ns in the enjoyment of the pleasures provided for their entertainment. ATI\K15 \NAWA. . The carrying facilities of the motor line were hardly adequate to the demands placed upon it. On every tiip the train was fully loaded. Ucsldo this every conceivable con veyance was ntiltrcd to bear the crowd to Manawa. It Is estimated that fully 5,000 per- pens wcro on the grounds at ono time. They enjoyed themselves in various ways , nnd It may bo said to the credit of those who acted as their hosts that &vcry possible courtesy was extended. Tno lake craft was constantly in service plying from port to port ; cooling breezes wcro borne from the bosom of the \vnteis ; Manawa hotel , with its numerous ver.inil.is and spacious parlors , Invited the heated seeker after pleasure ; Athletic park pt csentetl n variety ol amusements , with allot which thocrowd wcio well entertained. At 11 o'clock the games at the park besr.in with 11 fair audience. First was a 100 yard ruco in which there wcro ten stm-ters. Tlio llrst lieat brought J. Whitney , Buffalo Chief and W. A. Stevenson to the front , the llrst named llrst. The second heat gave the ilrst place to Uuffalo Chiefwhich ho held in the follow ing heat. The m-izj was 510. A seventy-live yard sack race followed with six starters , for a $5 put se. Ed Sherman won , William Patterson bccond , Washington third. In the high Jump contest quite a number en tered. As the string was raised the number grew smaller and settled upon Charles Smith and Seven Hears. The latter won , clearing the sti Ing at 4 feet S ) inches. The running broad jump followed. This was won by Lew Camp of Omahu who cleared fifteen feot. Uuffalo Chief and Seven Hears were close seconds. UulTalo Chief won the whccl- bai row race and carried off the greased pig. The day was a memorable one in Council Blurts , nnd its close was eminently proper. Uuitngthc curly evening n shower gathered In the south , and although the ruin did not full the heavens wore lurid with natural py rotechnics , which added to the artificial ones sent ut ) from the various places about Omaha , Fail-mount park , in this city , LiUo Manawa and n hundred residences about the city were plainly visible here. The effect was grand and the display will bo long re membered by all who witnessed it. At 2 o'clock the game of base ball between the Crane Hros. and the Council HlulTs teams was called.

Geish hit safe , stole second and third on a low tin on- and a pa s , and then came home on another passed bull. Tills tied the score , for L. Camp gave a little pop at which Stevenson gathered in. In the second inning Saddler alone reached llrst , Askwith and Oliver striking out and Walters fouling to catcher. Swartz made n short hit and gained lirst on Walters' slow lielding. Ho made second , but got no lur- ther , for Hardln shut him oft at third. W. Camp having reached second tried to reach third on Van Annan's safe hit. but was re tired. Van Annan stele second and third on bad inflcldlng , but died on the plate us E. Gicst went out at llrst. In the third Inning the homo team placed two to their crcait after Wultnrs and Strock had been sent to the shade. Hrown put up a high lly which was muffed. Stevenson fol lowed him and took llrst on balls. Hy a sc ries of bad plays both players were allowed to steal around and i cached home before the third man went out. The finish of this inning failed to over come the lead of the homo team. In the fouith neither club bettered Its score. Dur ing the balance of the game the only run scored to the Council Hlulls team was mudo uy Stiock in the eighth. In the fouith inning Geist , Lnwson and Firth scored , and in the eighth Van Arnem , Wlso Camp , Kern Camp and Swartz did likewise. This finished the agony , for In the ninth the Crnno Hros. did not go to bat. Score , b to > Umpire , Lin Smith.

The details in this blory furnish ample pointers foia novel founded on facts , and will doubt- leas some time be used by homo enter prising lli'tion writer profitably. During the late war a confederate soldier named Denton died in prison. IIo loft a widow miil several children living at Bristol , Ten n. Denton was a workiiiginan and his family was left in indront circumstances. Among the children thus loft was ' 'Cam , " as he was called. Being a bprightly boy , ho at tracted the attention of a contractor , who lived in youth Carolina , anil finally , on the promise of the contractor to do a good part by the boy , the .mother consented for him to go to South Carolina. Tie went and remained with the contractor two years , during which time ho was very badly treated , and at the end of that time was thrown out _ of employ ment. A lad , with no friends , hundreds of miles away from llomo , the poor boy didn't know what to do. Finally lie got employment and prom ises of .vages from it.livuryinnn. . He ro- inuincd in this place for a month or two , and on asldug for piiy he was kicked and culTod and cursed out. Tlio poor fellow , becoming desperate , got up one night at midnight and going to the stable , "hooked" a horse and started for homo. IIo rode the her o some dis tance and then turned him loose and started on afoot. In the meantime the livery stable man found that a horse was missing and im- mediatnly took out a warrant charging him with horse otoaling and put an olll- cor on the track of the missing boy. As a matter of course it was not long before - fore he was ovorVilcon. He was ar rested , hauled baIt , indicted in the courts and brought to trial , none of his friends or family being informed of his needs or his trouble. He was convicted and sentenced to fiyo years in the state penitentiary. Owing to his tender years the judge commuted his sentence to two years. The Voy wont to the penitentiaryand there , by his bright ways and attractive man nets ho won the hearts of all , and after he had boon there about six months ho was given to understand that ho might got out of the way , and he did , making his escape and going back home to Bristol. IIo at once ap prenticed himself to learn the brick mason'b trade , and in a short time ho became a proliciont workman , and gained many friends by his industry and careful attention to work. IIo soon inndo the acquaintance of a charming lady on the Virginia side , and the ac- quaintitncc ripened into love , and the two wore married , the lady being of ono of the linest families of southwest Vir ginia. Young Denton soon bccamo widely known as a brick mason. IIo was em ployed on important works in Bristol , Knoxville , Cleveland nnd Chattanooga.
