Happing flags and streamers. The day
jparks the dawn of a new era In the history
of both cities. The welfare and prosperity

OKCOUATION8.
Bright and Brilliant Colors Flouting
In the Hrccze.
The decorations wore profuse from a gen
eral view. That on the bridge was es
pecially beautiful , At the Omaha entrance
was. a large banner bearing the inscription ,
'Council Bluffs Welcomes Omaha , " und a
banner weU-oming Council Bluffs was swung
to the breeze from the east end of the struc
ture.
In the center of the bridge , suspended
over the scene of the dedicatory exorcises
WM a largo circle composed of spriga and
foliage. It was made to represent a ring , and
on the circular background the following
motto .stood out in bold but expressive let
ters : "Tho Sister Cities Jointly Wedded
To-day. * ' The decorations made in the
trades display were magnificent and
were a source of great attraction. All tlio
important commercial institutions in the city
were bedecked with flags , flowers and ban
ners. The Millurd was hung with largo
festoons of colored material , while from
the Pnxton and a number of the principal
business houses , the decoration was iu keep
ing With the day and the occasion.
So accustomed has Omaha become to cele
brations of a gigantic nature that the morn
ing hours gave but little evidence of the im
portant-event of the day , and a stranger
would have noticed nothing unusual in the
busy crowds that thronged the streets. As
noon uiwroached , however , there was a
transformation scene , that in quickness
would rival the work of accomplished thea
trical workmen. Bunting floated gaily from
the housetops , festooned the windows , and
hid the pillars of the leading buildings , and
the stringers and supports of the now bridbo
wore losl to sight m the
'olds of tUo national il&g .hnt , draped
hum. Each incoming train added
o the crowds of sight-seers , and furnished
victims to the ever-present street-fakir und
nock auction men , while- the hotels and res
taurants , were crowded to their utmost ca
pacity. A glance at the hotel registers
showed that all the neighboring states wcrd
well represented , but that ; as might'have '
xon cxpactcd , the guests from Iowa and
Nebraska outnumbered the others two to
one.
The March Ends.
At.1:30 : the Omaha contingent returned tc
.his side. The military marched up Douglas
street to Fifteenth and the different com
[ > anlcs left the line for their armories. At
Thirteenth street the carriages unloadci
> hcir occupants , and at the streets crossing
Douglas the floats sought the nearest route :
home to stublo their horses. At , 0:30 : the las' '
had reached the Omuha side and the bit
procession wus a thimrof the past. Through
out the early hours of the evening the street'
were packed with promenaders , the play
houses were tilled with amusement seekers
and the sound of revelry was heard on al
sides. It was a lilting windup of tno twit
cities' big bridge dav. It is stated that bO
teams crossed the bridge in the procession.
THE PUIZK BUILili.
Tlio Oinaliu Guard * Win the Brldgi
Trophy.
The evening was devoted to the compel :
tivo drill of the rival militia companies fo
the bridge trophy , und four companies o
troops were required to keep Capitol avcnu
clear between Thirteenth and Fourtoentl
streets , to give them sufficient room fo
maneuvering. The crowd was immense bu
it was good-natured , and willingly movoi
back as requested. The collapse of a smal
platform was the only thing that moinon
tarilly stopped the "guvlng" indulged ir
but as no ono was hurt , it was speedily re
sumed. Standing room was ut a premiuir
and every available spot was secured by tb
sight-seers , some ladies oven climbing i
ladder to the roof of the Grand opera hous
In order to catch more than a passing glimps
of the "boys in blue. " When all was i :
readiness , the Dodge guards from Comic ,
Bluffs were iirst on the ground , and at one
won well deserved applause by the excellence
lonce of their marching and the precisioi
with which they went through the manual
The Omaha guards followed them , aud in
few moments the spectators had forgotte ;
the excellence of their predecessors
in watching the brilliancy and accuracy o
tlio homo company. For "neatness and dis
patch" their movements could not bo excelled
celled , and when it was known that they hai
gained the trophy there was a universal feel
ing that it hod been fairly and honestly won
The difficult task of deciding on the merit
of the respective companies wus loft to Lieu
tenant Turner , U. S. A. , and to say that hi !
decisions met with universal approval is i
sufficient guarantee that ho performed hi
duty faithfully and without favor. Mujo
Clarkson , as master of ceremonies , then ic
vited the spectators to the Grand oper

the Musical Union orchestra , and a detacli
meut of the guards again wont through th
manual and firing exercises.

of some kind , no ono was present to extcu

wore left for hours sitting on the sldowal

must bo added to the long list of unhappy
unions of European titles and American del

sudden termination of the honeymoon of'the
Count and Countess do Montocarlo nco Miss

brated about u fortnight ago in I'lttsbtfrg
with great eclat. The brldeirroom arrived In

Hotel Bellcvm ? preparatory to continuing the
Journey to a castle which the count said his
mother had on the Adriatic , It wus appar
ent the bride was not happy. Early Monday
morning the cuests were aroused by shrieks
from the countess' chamber followed by cries
for help. The guests dr.nssed hastily and
ran into the corridors. The manager of the
hotel burst open the door and found the
countess struggling with the brutal husband ,
her hair dishevelled , her night dress torn
and her body bruised. The count released
his victim who rushed to the manager cry
ing beseechingly.
"Save mo from him. Turn him out of thd
hotel. Ho has got no money. Ho can't pay
you. Turn bim out. "
The count protested against the interfer
ence and attempted to pull ills wife buck ,
whereupon she gave him n stinging blow in
the face with her clenched flst. Ho tried to
return the blow but was prevented by the
manager and mule guests. The unfortunate
bride told the manager she had boon thor
oughly deceived in her husband , She be
lieved him a man of means but learnt too late
not only that ho was penniless
but that ho was an inhuman brute.
At first she supplied him liberally
with money but nothing seemed to satisfy
him. When she refused to give him more
he commenced beating her. The manager told
the couple ho could not allow his guests to be
disturbed ; that they must leave the hotel im
mediately. The unfortunate wife , who
deeply felt the disgrace , burst into tears and
pleaded to be allowed to remain , but tlio
manager was inexorable and they were
obliged to leave. They took the early train
for Italy. _

STUTTOAUT , Oct. HO. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to Tiir. BIE. : ] The Herald's
dispatches from Munich , Nice and New Yorli
regarding the scandal about the king ol
Wu.'tcmburg und his American friends have
created a great deal of excitement hore. Nc
paper published in this city has , however ,
dared to say a word upon the subject. The
council of ministers has ordered proceeding :
against the Munich Neustc Nachrouhton foi
its publication concerning his majesty's
favorites. If it comet to trial interesting do
velopmcuts may bo looked for. Juckson'i
nppdintuient in 1SS1 created at the timi
great comment but had come to bo au ac
cepio I fact nnd would never have l > oen re
vivcd now but for the Woodcock and Hendr ;
affair. Jackson renounced his American cit
Izcuship aud became a Wurtemburger. Im
mediately on entering the king's service In
was appointed at first vorlesser o1reade
and afterwards privy counselor. The oul ;
complaint the people make against Jacksoi
is his supreme selfishness. His contrac
with the king is reported to bo such that ii
any event ho is liberally provided for
Uumor says that it was through en
deavoring to dissuade his majcst ,
from signing this contract that Her
von. Gunscrt , pot into hot water but the klni
signed and Jackson is happy. Shortly afte
Jackson's appointment the Itev. Charles Ii
Woodcock and his inseparable Donal
Hendry appeared there. Humor says Wood
cock was formerly chorister and later assist
ant rector in a New York ciiurch. He cam
hero ostensibly to work for some New Yor
publishers and lodged in Schloss strasso n
Fraulcin Zollcrs , whose brother Hefrath i
employed as editor by Carl Hall
berger , the recent purchaser o
the house where Woodcock am
Hondry are now installed. In 18S2 , whil
Jackson's appointment was still fresh in th
l > coplo's minds , the then British uiinistc
here , Mr. Gould , who has since- died , me
Woodcock at a dinner party at the house o
an American family named Burrows , thei
residing hero iu Goethestrassc , and was s
pleased with him that ho afterward
remarked if the king wanted t
appoint an American why didn' '
lie chose Woodcock ? Now Mr. Gould , boitij
u man of the world and a bon viveur , wo ;
much liked at court and it is not impossible
that his remark reached the king's cars am
first brought Woodcock to royal notice. Ii
the early winter of 13St : Woodcock loft her
ostensibly for throat treatment In Paris , bu
afterward he und Hondry turned up at Nio
and were installed in the villa as his majcs
ty's guests. It is stated that the bill foi
their entertainment amounted to 10,001
francs.
When the courtorcturned to Frledonchs
haven , the king's summer residence on Lak
Constance , they were installed in u handsom
villa Just outside the walls , their meals hi
ing brought them from the castle by royj
flunkies. Jackson meanwhile still basked h
the royal favor , being one of the small innc
circle who dally dined at their majesty'
table. Ho also had his princely suit
of seven rooms hero in that par
of the palace known as the acadcm Ii
the formerly famous Carls Schulc
where Schiller und Schubert wore one
pupils. As it now became necessary to flm
proper quarters for the two now favorite
the house Neckarstrasso was hired am
40.0JO marks , on dlt , were expended in Jlttini
up its interior luxuriously. The owner , a ;
old lady named Pistorlus , an archive keeper' ]
widow , living on the parterrn , has since soli
it out to Publisher Carl Hallberger , now r
siding here , but who formerly put
llshed a paper nt New York. 1
is Bald that he receive * 8,00
marks rent for it per annum. The rear o
this building opens on the royal park , ani
rows of gas lights have been placed along th <
path leadin ; from the palace to the botan
leal garden , whence a private entrance lead :
into the Woodcock mansion. I am in
cllned to think the accounts of splrltua
seancos held there have been somewhat ox
aggcrstod , but no loyal subject of Wurtom
burg oould quietly submit to the thought tha
his sovereign was playing at hypnotics wit
anyone , much loss a foreigner withou

Prlco 25 Cents per box. Sold by nil
nation In consequence of exorbitant demand *
mndo on the royal cash box for the mainten
ance of the Woodcock mansion. The feeling
s not only here bMt throughout Wurtemburg
and Is aggravated by Woodcock's recent ap
pointment to the title of Frclherr von Sav
age. U Is understood that to render pos
Mbk'his acceptatic'o of this title ho has re
cently applied to the United Stales consulate
lore to ascertain what steps are necessary to
renounce his American citizenship.
In regard to Hendrylittlo U said or'known ,
lo K genor.UIy believed to be n Canadian
ami Is of'gentle , quiet manners , as indeed it
Woodcock , whoso appcnrniiro and manners
vould never suggest nil Impostor or an ad
venturer. The latter Is a line singer nnd is
said at one tiino so to have charmed his
najesty with an air from MephNtophcles as
o suggest the mounting and production of
Jnit opera at great cost on the court opera
lotiso stage here. Nor is Jackson lacking
n accomplishments , either. Ho speaks
EnglishGerman nnd French , is a fine pianist ,
a capital qhcss player and a good whist
iluyer , besides being a very companionable
'ollow. I know that Mr. Catlln , who was
Jullod States consul here when Jackson was
ippointcd into this king's service , has always
stated that ho parted with him with regret.
Nearly every continental monarch , except
the Gorman emperor , hat decorated Jackson
and the pope received him us well. He has
friend * hero who enjoyed the' Herald's Mu
nich correspondent's allusion to him n a
dentist. The American court dentist'here ' is
Dr. IClein , of Indianapolis , which probably
led to the error. The story of the coach and
Tour , carrying Jackson away to the Palace a
la Ccndrillon , is als'i somewhat overdrawn.
His appointment was made out in
regular business form shortly after the
king's return from Uivlcru in
18S1 , nnd the removal of his baggage
from his former lodgintrs to his new quarters
in the palace by the court wagons and ser
vants forms the basis for the romance. What
causes the most reflection to thinking minds
is the fact that this affair is ventilated so
soon after the German emperor's visit to
Stuttgart. The political feature of this affair ,
If it has any , may not prove itself the least
interesting one.

Bearded 1'rcHideritn.
Mail and Express : Gen. Harrison
will be the fifth president to enter the
AVhito house with n full beard. His
four Itcnrded predecessors wore , like
himself , republicans. From the time of
Washington to that of Lincoln all the
presidents , with the exception of two ,
wore clean-shaven. These two , Martin
Van Duron and Zachary Taylor , were
small side whiskers , but no beards.
It is worthy of note that with the coining
ingin of the republican party in 18U ( )
boards have boon worn by all the repub
lican candidates. Lincoln , Grant ,
Hayes and Garlield were full beards ,
while their defeated adversaries , Mc-
Clolliui , Seymour , Greoley , Tildon and
Hancock , had clean-shaven cliins.
Erom the ctrlie.st times beards have
been symbolic of .strength , power and
wisdom. With the cutting of Samson's
board ho was Bhorn of his physi
cal powers. Socrates waa termed
"bearded Master" by Porsius , as the
beard waa n symbol "of wisdom. Tlio
Turks think it a dire disgrace to have
the board cut. Slaves who servo in the
seraglio have clean chins us n sign of
'their servitude. Geoffrey , the crusader
and Bouchard , of the house of Montmo-
rency , were both termed "tho bearded"
for their bravery and heroism in battle.
Dr. Bulwer , maintaining the dignity
of the beard , in his "Artificial Change
ling" says : "Shaving the chin is justly
to bo accounted of effeminacy , note as
npponra by eunuchs who produce not a
beard , the sign of virility. Aloxnlidor
and his otllccrs did not shave their
boards till they were effeminated-by
Persian luxury. It wntf Into before har
bors wuro in request in Homo. Dlogo-
nose , seeing a man witli a smooth-shaved
chin , bald to him ; "Hast them whereof
to ttcctibo nature for making thec a man
and not a woman ? "
On the ( ith of next month the people
will remember Gen. Harrison as tno
bearded warrior , who , at Ms troantry's
call , proved his bravery on the battle-
llchi. and 'since his return has boon
equally faithful in the discharge of hin
duly in matters pertaining to thesluto ,
and they will
Take kind notice of his beard ,
And speak with much respect and honor
Both of the beard und the beard's ' owner
