nt OkobnJI.
Although Mnnawa presents ninny attrac
tions , and Is attracting many who would
otherwise visit Spirit Lalco und Luke Okobojt ,
yet thcro nro not a few from this vicinity
who find delight in these two lakes.
B. 11. Odell has Just returned from Oko
bojl , and reports n capital time there. Ho
found himself not among strungets by nny
means. Thcro was quite a sprinkling of
Bluffs and Omaha representatives.
I. N. Fllckinger und family are enjoying n
season there. Fllckinger tins rigged ono of
the llcetcst sailboats on the hike , nnd bus
christened it "One Sheet In the Wind. " Ho
thinks of bringing his boat back nnd placing
it on the bosom of Mannwa so soon ns ho hns
tired of holding the championshit ) of Lake
Okoboji.
Wells Cook Is stopping at the Orleans. He
goes over to Okobojl regularly every other
day. He is ulways satisfied with one llsh , nnd
having taken that ho hastens buck to the
Orleans.
Joe Shea Is known ns the luckiest fisher
man this season. Only one man , the guide ,
Inmnn , who takes the boats out , begins to
cot such strings ns Shea. Shea holds n line
in each hand and keeps pulling in first one
and then the other. When he gets n bite ho
turns his nttcntlon to that ono line , leaving
the other twisted nround his left , and ho Is
busy most of the time. Ho pulled out u pike
the other dny which weighed nearly eight
pounds. It was sent down to his father here
us a sample of what the Shcns can do when
tnoy get started. The catch nearly pulled
Joe out of the boat. It Hopped about in the
boat like a young whale. Odell , who wns in
the bent with him , hud to knife it while Shen
snt down on it to keep it quiet to the death.
Shea nnd Odell , mostly Shea , caught sixty
pounds Saturday nftcruoon.
C. A. Stnrr Is enjoying himself mostly by
shooting ut marks with a target gun. He
spends hours throwing beer bottles Into the
lake , nnd then cracking them with his little
gun. He is making u good record in his
specialty.
Hurry Hawarth nnd family have been en
joying themselves , too. Hurry brought in
seventy-live pounds of fishnnd ns ho couldn't
ship them , tbo train having gone , he parted
with them for 75 cents , the market having
been glutted by the presence of so many artful -
ful fishers.
The Omnhn cnmp Is an attractive ono to
all. The Dubuque und Keokuk visitors
seem espcciully charmed with the society
they find there , nnd are dully callers. Euchre
parties aud hops make every evening a
merry one with the Omahas and thelr/riends.
A larger number of now cottngcs uro going
up this season than over before. While Dubuque -
buquo and Keokuk are flirting with theOma-
has.Ues Moincs is bent on n more material
rivalry. The DCS Moines folks are nt Glv-
en's point. Each camp is trying to outshine
the other. Omaha puts down n few more
yards of sod , and immediately DCS Moines
puts down u few yards more. Ench im
provement is followed by n similar nnd little
tlo Inrgcr ono by the other. Asa result both
camps nro becoming very attractive. They
nro sodded clear to the water's edge , the
lawns being very pleasing.
Three new cottages are going up nt the
Omaha cnmp. Thcro Is also line uathlnij
there. DCS Moines points with pride to n
half dozcu now cottages , nnd holds its lots
from $ i.10 to 100.
The Manawa steamboats have a bonanza ,
as compared with those on Okoboji or Spirit
lake. At Manawa it is considered that 2.
cents to cross the little lake and back h
cheap , nnd the boatmen grumble if they art
not loaded so as to bring in several dollar :
each trip. At Okobojl 50 cents covers the cos !
for tbo round trip , stopping at all points , and
taking about three hours. The average
number of passengers is not over eight , and
when there uro four passengers the steam-
boatmen seem pretty well satisfied. Some ol
the Council Bluffs folks chartered
a steamer the other day for the
afternoon. The boat carries about
soventy-fivo. The boys got the boat
for $6. and then invited their friends to fill
It. The excursion included all the points
around the lakes , nnd lasted from early In
the afternoon to 8 o'clock in the evening ,
Ono little boat about half the size of the 0
E. Mnyno Is used in towing out row boat :
for the flshing.'partles. Tbo little tow boat i ;
a flyer nnd it costs only 50 cents to hav <
your boat towed out three miles and 50 centE
more to have it towed in at night. Mnmuvt
boatmen would go crazy with these low
rates.
There was a sailing race one dny lasl
week , in which Omaha , ns usual , captured
the cup. The course was six miles nnd return
turn nnd was sailed in nn hour and fortj
minutes.
Most of the season has been wet ant
lowry but the visitors nro holding on in the
expectation of n change each day for tin
bettor. The cool , cloudy weather has hat
its ndvnntagcsthouph , as it has mndo thi
fishing bettor thnn for five yenrs past.
The Bluffs vibitors miss the beach with
which Maunwn is favored. At Okoboji then
Is no such beach. The bathers have to weai
heavy sandals , or else have their fcot torn b ;
the rocks. There is but ono bathing house
and thut 1ms but twelve rooms. The lurges
number of bathers in nny one day was 64
and the average is from four to ten n dny
The water is clear us crystal , nnd cool , nnd i
Munnwu's sandy bench could only bo uddci
it would bo complete.
D. B. Ljons , of DCS Moines , who nlso hai
an ofllco In Omnhn , is ono of these happil ;
constituted Individuals who nro especiall ;
t adapted to making themselves and every bed ;
about them have n good timo. He is a spe
cinl favorite with the ladies , and when in hi
knickerbockers , and arrayed in his sunnno
toggery , ho is quito impressive. Many i
young lady hns sighed with disuppolntmen
f on learning that ho is u husband already , uni
n model one. Ho is constantly suggestin
some delightful scheme for the crowd to sc
euro enjoyment , and the inorry-makers dt
pend upon him greatly. As an expression o
1 their appreciation of his services in makin
it jolly lor everybody , the Indies , the othe
dny , wove for him.a wreath , und crownin
him with this insisted on his icspondlng in
speech. Among all circles ono lu-nrs th
query "Where's D. B.l" and all seem to fe (
that in order to have a real good time , In
must bo the leader in the fun.
As Seen By the Stars.
Yesterday's business in police court wr
the lightest of any Monday morning for soni
time. Two boys , Henry Smith and Gears
Cameron , were booked for vagrancy. Ttie
left Chicago some some time ngo nnd startc
out to shear the wild and woolly west , hi
they found the wool too wiroy and It dulle
the keen cdgo of their butcher knives. The
strolled into the Milwaukee yards at a la <
hour Sundny evening , nftcr a walk (
twenty miles , and had barely fixed the
"shnko downs" in a box car when a hai
hearted policeman cumo along and ordcrc
tboin to "tumble out. " Shortly aftorwari
tlio patrol wacon dashed up and they thougl
their last hour had como. They wuro vci
thnnkful to find themselves In the police st
tlon a few minutes later. The court ga\
them souio good advice and recommended
change of climato. They promised to gi
back to the Garden city with all possib
speed and were released.
John Eviiis was charged with the larccr
of n dinner pall from ono of the night ham

Kiln Whcelock , a cyprlnn living on North
Madison street , caused the arrcstof a cilorcd
man by the name of John Turpln , for tin al
leged assault. She snld thnt Turpln came
to her homo nnd killed her cnnnry birds , be
sides beating and scratching her. The defend
ant snld the birds were at his house visiting
with his birds and the plaintiff c.iuio nnd
took them. Ho went down after his feath
ered family , nnd the "scrap" ensued. The
trouble wns all the direct result of n co
operative plnn of bird rnlslng. Kpgs wore
broken , nests destroyed and the destruction
of household furniture wns gcncrnl. Sev-
erni witnesses were introduced , and the de-
fcndant lined $5 nnd costs. The whole crowd
wns n tough one , nnd the court disposed of
the case as ijulckly as possible.
Captain Anderson arrested Chnrlcs Fisher
and placed luui behind the burs on the charge
of being n suspicious diameter. Ho wns at
tempting to dispose of two pairs of pants nnd
soinu jewelry. Ho snid ho was released from
jail In Oiimha In the forenoon , having been
arrested on the sntno charge. No ptoof could
bo secured against him nnd ho wns dis
charged , with oidcr to get out of the city im
mediately.
A Uull Itiin.
An angry bovine , of the mnscullno persua
sion , was out on u little tear yesterday morn-
ng , painting the town n carmine hue , when
ho was "surrounded" by n policeman nnd
landed in the pound. Ho quickly became
dissatisfied with his quarters and made u
charge on the fence , scattering the boards in
nil directions , ami jumping through the
breech he started down Hrondway ut a gnlt
thnt would have distanced Ten Urocck in his
palmiest days. Ho was again captured by
Collci'tor Vicn nnd corralled In tlio ro.ir of
Justice Harnett's olllce. Ho repeated his
battering performance on the lencc nnd was
as successful as before. He dashed down
Main street with his tonuguo lolling out and
his caudal nppcndago elevated ut an angle of
forty-live uegrees , breaching forth unon
mutterlngs of distant thunder that failed to
convince the frightened Indies and children
on the street that the storm wns very fur off.
Ho circled the court house and jail three
times in a futile search for Sheriff O'Neil ,
and finally disnppenred down the Ninth street
motor track in the direction of Mnnawn. It
is surmised that he had heard of the lake's
advantages for dog tights , und wanted to "go
them ouo better. "
An Orgnn Concert.
The music loving citUons of the Bluffs will
have nn opportunity to avail themselves of n
fine treat Thursday evening , August 30 , at
St. Francis Xnviors' church. The occnsion
will be the opening of the splendid now pipe
organ , and an excellent programme is being
prepared. The concert will bo under the
auspices of the Catholic choir and no pains
will be spared to secure the llncst tnlcnt ob
tainable in the twin cities , und make the
affair a grand success in all its particulars.
Mr. Will Grntinn , organist of St. Paul's ' , nnd
Mr. W. C. Marshall , of All Saints , Omaha ,
will preside at the orgnn. The celebrated
boy choir of St. Paul's ' will take part in the

is no doubt thnt the Inrgo church will be
completely filled on the eventful evening.
A Slick Younjj Fraud.
Some time ago a young man registered at
the liechtele as H. P. Ray , und represented
himself to be nn agent for the Now York
Sportsman. Ho made himself known to sev
eral horsemen here and secured a number ol
subscriptions for thnt journal for one year ,
A few days since one of the subscribers re
ceived a letter from the homo ofllce of the
paper stating thnt "Henry Pulmer" had sent
in $1 as a quarter's subscription from salt
subscriber , nnd the same amount from others
in the city , nnd asking as to Mr. Pnbner's ro-
sponsibility. It now develops that Hay and
Palmer are the same one , und that ono n
swindler. Ho told the parties here that the
regular price wns $4 per yeur , but the clut
rule $3 , nnd secured quite u large club. He
sent in $1 from each for a quarter's subscrlp
tion , dropping } 2 into his own pocket. He
made a neat little sum nnd departed foi
greener fields. The case will bo looked ut
nnd the nrobabllity is Mr. Uny , alias Palmer

Rev. G. W. Crofts returned yesterday fron
Colfax , where ho has bcon recreating. Tin
Bui : sought out the reverend gentleman ti
learn how ho viewed the call from Kunsn
City for him to become pastor of a churcl
there. Ho said he was not ready to ninld
public nny views in regard to it , but wha
dropped out in the course of the convcrsatioi
indicated that there was little probability o
his accepting. His church hero is united
nnd there seems no good reason for his re
signing his pastorate hero. In view of nil th
circuuistnnces ho will doubtless hcsitati
greatly nt even considering a call elsewhcr
lit nil'favorably. The Congregational people
und in fact the community nt large , wil
doubtless brint ; so strong a pressure to bea
for his retention hcio that Kansas City wil
call in vain.

wns about to kick It in when the door wn
unlocked. The cleric then insisted thnt tin
man was n tramp nnd hud lost no moncj
but the chief know better and went to th
collar , where ho found the shiner. Th
clerk doubtless intended to pocket it bin

The People or Russia.
Perry S. Heath : Although there are
many laws and customs existing among
the Russians that nro reprehensible ,
there are these ono must admire and
admit to bo just and advantageous. As
a body the Russians are good people.
There are exceptions , of course , just as
there are in America or any other
country. The trouble is the stranger
moit frequently meets the exceptions. "
1 do not want it undorbtood that I con
demn her people , for I do not. But I
believe there is more despotism and op5
pression , and more extreme exorcise of
the individual and ollicial power than
there should be ; and if there was a
greater exhibition of humanity on the
part of the t ar and his counselors moio
good would bo done and more happi
ness would bo the result.
In discussing the laws and inslitutioi a
of Russia the American naturally be
comes impatient. Changes are wrought
in all monarchial countries by degiecs.
There are no political revolutions like
thoio constantly taking place to a
greater or lets extent under constitu-
tionnl forms of government and in re
publics. It may bo , as has been nrgiu d
to mo by intelligent and patriotic Rus
sians , that the subjects of the tsar could
not bo successfully ruledand the country
could not bo proborly improvedwith any
other than the present system of gov
ernment. It is hold that the very
character of the pc9plo precludes the
practicability of a.republican form of
government , and that with bo many va
rieties of blood and character the oxoi- '
else of the franchise , popular oleotlons
and expressions from the people are not
to bo considered.
I would have it Understood that anj
well-intentioned American who goes to
Russia , armed with a passport properly
vised , is perfectly safe , if ho conducts
himself with caution1 and propriety , nn < ]
that ho will find nowhere ft moro inter
esting people or institutions.
In considering the defense made bj
the revolutionists and nihilists in Rus
sia of their hostile nttltudo to the tsat
and his laws , it is interesting to studj
the position taken by native Russians
who are loyal to their ruler in advocat
ing his cause. I formed an acquaintance
with ono of the most intelligent and in
struetivo of the tsar's late subjects upor
my return from Russia to Washington ,
Count Charles d'Arnaud was born , cdu
catod , and spent the major part of hii
lifo in Russia. Ho was a member of oni
of the best known families of the om
pira. Ho was in the Russian ongineoi
, corps during the Crimean war , nnd wai
'ono of the army which resisted the gal
lant charge of Tennyson's noble si )
hundred at the battle of Balaklnva
During the American civil war ho caim
to this country , was commissioned as t
captain , aud assigned to duty on General
oral Rosocrans' suiff. His cnglneerlni
. knowledge and ability as a topographoi
o I proved to bo invaluable to the unloi
i , forces. General Grant ascribed to bin
,11 great credit for tlio mauuer iu whioi
ho , nt extreme personal risk , prepared n
rough inivi ) of thosurroundlngsof Slilloh.
to which was duo in part the success of
tlio union army at Hornets' Nest.

Tno lust Army and Navy Journal con
tains n very interesting sKetch of Gen
eral Phil Sheridan. In this wo find ,
for the first time , the true history of
Sheridan's appointment to the " "rttlon
of colonel of the S < jcni \ Michigan cav
alry. Gciu'iTu Gordon Granger had
bi > eti ino colonel , but his promotion to
the grade of brigadier general of volun
teers made nvacancy , and the governor
of Michigan was called upon to make
the appointment to llll the vacancy. As
the General Hawkins mentioned was
for many years a citizen of Omaha , the
statement as published in the Army
and Navy Journal possesses an addi
tional interest to his many friends in
this city , wo give the account in full as
published :
The direct relation between Sheri
dan's experience in Oregon and his
subsequent career is shown by the state
ment wo receive from ono of his class
mates nt the academy , John P. Haw
kinsbrevet major general United States
army , and Into major general of volun
teers , now of the subsistence de-
partmpt. United States nrmv. General
Hawkins says : The Second Michigan
cavalry , under Colonel Gordon Gran
ger , joined the army of General Ilal-
leck before Corinth , soon after the bat
tle of Shiloh. It was a part of General
Pope's command that had just accom
plished tbo capture of "Island No. 10 , , '
and was now brought fr.om there to as
sist tit the capture of Cori nth. Granger
thoi had knowledge that ho had been
appointed , or was soon to bo appointed ,
a brigadier general of volunteers , and
was therefore to release command of his
regiment. Ho acquainted mo with the
circumstances and said that the appoint
ment of his successor was virtually in
his hands , and that ho wished to luiva
an olllcer of the ' -ogular army to suc
ceed him , and asked mo to take his
place ns colonel of the regiment when he
vacated. In answer I told him my army
experience had been almost entirely as
'
in infantry olllcer and that f would'not
iko to incur the responsibilities of a
cavalry commander , but that a proper
jorbOti for the Second Michigan would
) o Captain Sheridan , of the Thirteenth
nfantry , then serving in the quarter-
nailer's department tit Hallock s head-
luarters. t told him what I knew ol
Sheridan , that ho had been in command
> f mounted troops in Oregon , and ns
such had been mentioned in orders by
jcncrul Sc.ott and praised for his gal-
antry. Soon after this conversation
with Granger , Sheridan was appointed
colonel to succeed him , and there can
30 no question but that it was
done agreeably to the recommendation
ind by the influence of Granger , and on
account of Sheridan's record in Oregon ,
is shown forth in General Orders No ,
14. This communication is written foi
the purpose of showing how the
events of 1850 determined these of 18012 ,
ind Sheridan himself probably never
tnow how much that order had to tic
with his appointment. The circum
stances as narrated may also servo as an
encouragement and an incentive to tin
young olllcers of our army , and impress
on them the fact that good service has
ilwnys a good chance for ultimate recog'
nitio'n and reward. "
