A narrow road winds through the thick forest und gradually : nounts the bluff which for centuries bus .vithstood . the assaults of the Missouri. A > road terrace has been found nnd cleared of its woody growth , and is equipped for target shooting. It is surrounded with woods m full foliage. Glimpses of the river are caught through the waving branches on ouo side , and the Bellevue college , with a lone church tower , ipcops above the billowing sea of green on the opposite side. Old Sol came out brightly , but with tem pered fervor , and a cool breeze made a day as [ > erfeot us the traditionally rare day lu Juno. The contestants in the shooting were formed in line in the open space between the oillcors' touts , and as they inarched to their place , they wore reviewed by General UI-OOKO iiud stair. The adjutant read the names of the successful miirksuicn , and they stepped forward four paces. Following is the team who will represent the department of the Platte at the division contest soon to bo hold at San Antonio , Texas : Sergeant Leonard Diotz , Seventeenth in fantry ; Private John Currie. Seventeenth nfantry ; Lieutenant B. U. Buck , Sixteenth nfantry ; Sergeant Win. Glynn. Seventeenth nfantry ; Lieutenant Charles II. Muir , Sev enteenth infantry ; Corporal Peter H. Mor- cicr , Seventeenth Infantry ; Lieutenant H. H. Wright , Ninth cavalry Musician J. W. Mayer , Seventeenth infantry ; Lieutenant M. W. Day , Ninth cavalry ; Private Charles M. Sncll , Seventh infantry ; Corporal Rich ard White , Eighth infantry ; Lieutenant W. A. Mercer , Eighth Infantry. The alternates are Private Charles II. RIerdon and Sor- kcant Wm. Morgan , of the Eighth infantry. Captain Cyrus S. Roberts , of the Seven teenth , will command the team. There were prizes to present , and General Morrow , of Sidney , made it the occasion for a happy address on the value of target prac tice. Ho said : The general said ho appeared to congratu late the team upon the creditable record in marksmanship which they had made and to present the medals for such achievement . In the whole range of soldierly duties in a time of pence there is not one nioro important than that of target practice. All training at such times is but preparation for war , and the , wisdom of such preparation is nn axiom accepted by all nations. Discipline and drill are excellent , but a soldier may bo perfect in them and yet luck the prime clement in a time of need. The value of a soldier Is his cfllclcncy , his power of execution. Discipline and courage alone will not suflico. They must bo supplemented with a knowledge of the capabilities of the weapon ho carries and tlio skill to achieve Its full capacity. \Vhalovor adds to the elllcicucy of the soldier in battle is of importance to the ser vice. The object of target prJutico is to train men to the greatest , skill and ctll- cicncy in the handling of their arms. Marksmanship in the American army is at the highest point in the history of the United States. It has reached a standing not surpassed by any other nation. This re sult is duo to the encouragement of the gov ernment and the interest of the army , among both officers and men. In this work no ofllcct lias been more zealous or eftlclent than Col. onel Henry , the inspector of rifle practice ol the department. Tills training should bo encouraged b.v the government to the most liberal extent. There s'aould bo rewards other than medals. Extra rewards are needed to stimulate inon to thcii fullest capacity in the development of tlu arts and the industries , and these are not more important than unproved marksman ship in the army. The teams should Imvc tlu boat of accommodations in traveling to tin contests. They should have a per diem allowi anco and perhaps un increase of pay. This training also oxnrts a great moral in llucnco. It promotes temperance , patience imluhtry and skill , It should bo honored with greater rewards thuu ordinary routini duty. It has another value in that It promote ; economy. It is well known that there is ai enormous waste of amunitlon b.v raw troops Skilled marksmen will save nmuuition , ant la the event of war tlio pi-Cbont oxpcndituri for practice will bo repaid. Tlio general concluded by congratulatlin the team in the name of the departmont. Colonel Henry then complimented thi marksmen in terms of high praiso. Ho sail that during the competition ho had seen in neglect of duty , no broach of discipline That should bo the highest feather in tin cap of every man. They hud set an exanmli for the whole department , and ho trustee they would bo as true soldiers always. Mrs. Major Urown then pinned upon Ser poant DIeU the gold medal awarded him foi the bciit record for the six-day shooting llrs. Lieutenant Mallory similarly houorei Musician , Mayer with a silver modal for tin best skirmish work. The llrst prize had t bar bearing th'e word "Department" and i thick circular pendant. The latter bore th < words "Department Marksmanship. " eaclr cling two guns crossed over a shield.

A gold watch was presented b Edhojm & Alkon , of this city , to Corpora Marciar for the ucut four skinmsh runfc u six days , .At the conclusion of the exercises tin marksmen gave the visitors an exhibition of skirmish firing on the range. The ubiquitous photographer shot off his camera several times , and General B. rooKo's party returned to the city at 1 o'clock by special train. It Is noticeable that all the prizes and six of the fourteen places In the team wi'ro woii by members of the Scycutoenlh Infantry from Fort Russell. Wyb. T. ThK is the work of Lieutenant Colonel Muir. who gave the men ten days' practice before leaving their sta tion. tion.The team is a strong ono , though the bad weather has kept down their score some what. They remain at the riuigo till Thurs day , when they leave for San Antonio.

Another Meeting Dovotctl toHcntliiR null Ventilation. Heating nnd ventilation was the great mooted point at the meeting of the board of education last evening. Some of the mem bers wcro afraid that the heating and ven tilating systems fortho Park school would Hi- terfcro with each other , but nil fears wore allayed by Mr. Barrett guaranteeing the por- lect working of Ills ventilating system with out Interfering with the heating of the building. Owing to the limited capacity of the high school building , Superintendent James sug gested that it would bo best nt some time in the near future to divide the children of the Fifth , Sixth , Seventh and Eighth grades among the other schools. The committee on heating and ventilation reported that H. T. Johnson , R. A. Cooper and Matt Gabion had passed examination in steam heating. Ida A Grcenlu nnd Sadlo Bunker , teachers of the summer schools , were each allowed $ 'J9.33 for their services through August. It was decided to notify Strung , Clark & Co. to place bettor support at the rear of boiler No. 3 at the high school at their own expense , the ones they have put lu being in sufficient. The committee to whom was referred the natter of heating and ventilating the Park .trcct . school recommended that the contract or heating the building bo awarded Wcls- iinns , Pratt & Co. , and that of ventilating bo iiwarded to the Exhaust Ventilating com pany of Chicago. In the discussion that followed Dr. Savillo aid that there wore no well ventilated school buildings in the city. Mr. McCouiioll said lie wished a perfect mud from- some ono that both the heating ind ventilating systems proposed would [ irovc satisfactory. Dr. Savlllo thought there was no use for any such Joint bond ; if the ventilating com pany guaranteed their work and the heating company guaranteed theirs , that would bo sufficient. Mr. Wehrcr wanted either AVelshaiiB , Pratt & Co. , or the Exhaust Ventilating com- lauy , to guarantee the work of both s.vs- .ems , for the ventilators might fan all the : icatcd air out of the building. Mr. Recs thought it was unreasonable to ; isk ono linn to guarantee the work of an other. The ventilation would not Interfere iVith the heating of the building , as the air ntroduccd was ilrst warmod. Mr. Barrett , of the Exhaust company , was fillowcd to take the floor , and he guaranteed .ho perfect , working of his system without ntorference with the heating. He did not hink It , was businesslike to ask him to juurantco the work of another firm. Mr. Wclshuns ciuno forward nnd guaran- ecd the perfect working of his heating sys- .cm , but not in connection with Mr. Barrett's ventilating system. Tliis'raised still moro of a hubbub , some of he members insisting that while both the leating and ventilating systems might bo ; > orfect of themselves , still in connec tion with each other the heating might prove 11 failure through the interference oftho ven tilator and vice versa. It was then suggested that the committee split their report in two and otherwise modi fy it , nnd they then offered the following : The committee on heating and ventilation rccomnicnil the acceptance of the bid of the Exhaust Ventilating company for $1S75 to furnish a ventilating nppaiatus for the Park school building and will guarantee the saino to amply ventilate the building according to their bid , and that It will not depreciate the work of the steam heating apparatus in the good heating of the building , and that no payment bo made till February next , when tlio sumo shall bo tested. Tills awkwardly worded resolution was signed by Messrs. Spalding and Savlllo , and proving satisfactory to the board it was adopted. The same committee then presented an other report favoring the granting of the contract t'or heating the Park school to Wcl- shnns , Pratt & Co. , for the sum of * 3,533. Tills , too , was accepted. The superintendent of buildings was in structed to build n smoke llua in the Park street school of sufficient capacity for the use of the steam heating apparatus. The superintendent of instruction nnd the committee on buildings and property wore authorized to order such minor changes in the interior arrangements of the Lake school as in their Judgment may bo neces sary for the bettor convenience of teachers and pupils of that school the cost of same not to exceed 825. Mr. Mlllurd was granted a two mouth's leave of absence. Bids for fuel wore received from the var ious local dealers , and referred. There was a slight increase over the bids of 18S7. Clmvley Wohror moved that the matter of employing tin assistant German teacher in tlio high school bo taken up. Carried. Superintendent Sumcs was called on testate state whether such a teacher was needed in the school. Ho said it was possible that tucli a teacher wonfd not bo needed. Ho thought it rather premature to settle this matter at tills timo. iVftcr some debate It was decided to indef initely postpone the matter. ADDITIONAL COUNCIL BLUFFS Ijnlco Vio\v Park. John W. Paul , who htva heavy real estate intercuts near Lake View park , has sign i lied his intention of mooting the mayor , aldermen and the nark com missioners of this city at an early date , with a view of maklngoxlcnslvoimnrovc- mouta at the park.

Avuuitx. Neb. , August 13. [ Special to Tnu Ur.n. ] The Howe-Majors combination delegation was elected at the primaries hero. The caucus ticket was beaten by a small majority. One hundred and llfty republicans attended the caucus Friday night and made a good liberal ticket which did not suit the corporation boss , and ho slyly had enough prohibitionists run in to defeat the caucus ticket. The old reliable republicans will not stand this. Many of them are in favor of Van Wyck. If this line of conduct is carried out the bosses' ticket will bo beaten by an independent or democratic ticket , M it was six years ago. Howe ami Majors haVe compromised. Howe goes to the senate and Majors to the house , and a full anti-Van Wyck ticket will be nom inated , and the people will have a chance to rise up and defeat it by the election of good men. Majors and Howe pretend not to bo candidates. Tlio programme is to have the convention force them to run , but their game is too transparent , oven at this time. A Cliurcli Dedicated.

DEBATE ON THE FISHERY TREATY. A Motion to Postpone ) Consideration oftlio Matter Until Next Decem ber Advocated by Sen ator (5 ray. Senate , WASHINGTON , August lit. The resolution offered last week by Mr. Edmunds , calling on the attorney general for copies of the cor respondence between the department of Jus tice and tlio supervisor of elections in the city of Now fork on the subject of registra- .Ion and election , was taken up lu the senate to-day ana Its purpose was explained by him. After a brief discussion the resolution was adopted. The senate then resumed consideration of the fisheries treaty in open executive session nnd was addressed by Mr. Call in support of its ratification. At the close of Mr. Call's speech the pro- sldlm , ' oftleer announced the question to bo on Mr. Morgan's motion to postpone consid eration of the treaty until IJecember next , itml asked whether the senate was ready for the question. Mr. Hoar called for the yeas and nays on the motion. Mr. Gray said that before a vote was taken lie desired to say soim-thlng on the motion. He then begun a speech In favor of post poning consideration until December next , Mr. Gray said that it had become evident from the outgivings on the republican side of the chamber that the treaty was not to bo ratified at this session. The treaty was being discussed in the midst of an excited political camp.ilgn , and the democratic sena tors had been told that they wcro arguing the British side of the case. Why should not the consideration of the treaty bo post poned to a more quiet season 1 No interests involved could possibly bo affected injuri ously by the proposed postponement. The llshurmen whose rights were the subject matter of tlio treaty were pursuing their avocations now unmolested and undisturbed under the protocol attached to the treaty. As to the taunt that the democratic senators wore arguing the case of Great Uritaln , Mr. Gray said that no taunt was so ii-ritatlnir as that to a democrat. The democratic parti- had no hostility and no policy in relation to foreign matters that it was ashamed of. It had always been ready to press to the cx- trcnio everything that concurncd the coun try's right and honor. Mr , Ueek , by consent of Mr. Gray , criti cised some recent remarks of Mr. Fr.yc as to the practice of Canadian llshernicn fecnuing frozen llsh to the American market free of duty under the tariff clause of "Fish frco for immediate consumption , " and said that as long as fresh llsh could only reach Uoston and Portland , and the people there get them cheaper , it was eminently satisfactory to the Now England senators , but that as soon as fresh llsh could bo scut to Ohio and Ken tucky it then became an offence In their eyes. The whole thing was in tlio interest of a Gloucester syndicate , which oven the laboring men of the country wcro protesting against as u sot of frauds. lie referred in that connection to the duty on Bessemer steel by which Carnegie had been given a sum of $ lr)00,000 so that ho could build churches and schools and could carry in his carriage throughout Scotland tlio Warwick of the republican party , the power behind the throne , who had now come back to this coun try to bo the Little All Right of the repub licans. Mr. George obtained the floor nnd read from the Boston Herald a report of the mooting of the "Deep Sea Assembly of Knights of Labor , " held ut Gloucester , and of the resolutions adopted protesting against the "fish trust" and favoring competition as the remedy against such trusts. Mr. Hoar said that neither ho nor the sen ator from Mississippi Know anything of the character of the persons who composed that assembly of Gloucester Knights of Labor , but that the pictures which they had drawn of the llsheries and ilshing Interests and of the Inboringmcn nnd capitalists of Massa chusetts was a slander in general nnd a slander in every detail. There was not a basis of truth in it. He spoke of the prosper ity of the workingmen nnd women of Mass achusetts , and described their homes as the homos of comfort and love nnd blessing ana patriotism and intelligence. Mr. George rose to reply , but Mr. Beck thought that tlio discussion might as well go over till to-morroiv , und on his motion the senate adjourned. House. WASHINGTON- , August 13. After the in troduction of a few unimportant resolutions the house began consideration of bills re ported from the committee on the District of Columbia. The ilrst bill called up , authorizing the commissioners of the District of Columbia to condemn property on RocK creek for park purposes , gave rise to a protracted discus sion. The bill was finally recommitted. On motion of Mr. Matson the senate bill was passed increasing to &iO the monthly rate of pension for total deafness. Mr. Warner , of Missouri , asked unani mous consent for consideration of the dependent - pendent pension bill , but Mr. Walker , of Missouri , objected. The house then wont into committee of the whole on the fortification appropriation bill , and proceeded to the consideration of the bill by sections. Mr. Townshend raised a point of order against the section providing for a gun fac tory at Watervllct arsenal , contending that the committee on appropriations hud no Juris diction over this subject , but that it belonged to the committee on military affairs. Mr. Buyers antagonized the point and quoted from the report of the committee on rules , at the time the present code of rules was framed , In support of his argument. Pending a decision the committee rose and the house adjourned. In another column of this issue will ho found au entirely now and novel speci men of attractive lulvortislns.

KmVAHD.S IS WAUM. The Authorities Tear Down lHa Con demned ItuildlnuH. J. E. Edwards was the owner of four dilapidated , ramshackle dwellings which stood on the corner of Eleventh street and Capitol avenue. Ho does not own them any longer , for they wcro leveled with the earth by the order of the city building inspector yesterday. A largo force of workmen re paired thither at an early hour , and within a short time all that remained of the unsightly structures was a conglomerate pile of plas tering , lath , broken rafters ami shuttered weather-boarding' Those buildings were condemned , as they wcro old and almost tenantless , and extended too f.ir upon the street. Moreover , the Uro limit on the sumo had expired. Edwards hud been granted abundant time to move his buildings back in order that they might con form with the survey of the streets , but ho not only neglected to profit by this , but otherwise Ignored the requirements of the law. Latterly ho applied for a permit to move the houses to another part of the city , outside the ilro limits , but ho was refused , on the grounds that the buildings wore in an unsafe condition. On Friday last the case was tried before a Jury in the police court and Edwards found guilty. Ho was. charged with obstructing thu streets. Ho was ordered to tear them down , but ho failed to do so. Consequently the building inspector has had It done for him , Edwards claims that great loss has been entailed upon him , that they were worth H.&iX ) , and that ho received ? 1'J5 rental per month therefrom. Edwards was lined $3 nnd costs in the police court , which ho paid. Ho thOn Informed Inspector Whit- lock ho would not demolish his buildings If ho was nrrcsti'il and lined every day. Mr. Edwards was very warm yesterday , when he discovered the work of the authorities. Ho will seek redress through the courts. Drink Multo , 25 contsabottlo.
