The secret of this tremendous cut in prices , is that we find ourselves largely overstocked on Summer Clothing1. Experience has taught us that it is by far cheaper to sell goods considerably less than ac tual cost , than carry them from season to season. Hence we make this cut. We have concluded to continue our 25 per cent discount sale for another week. This will positively be your last opportunity.

Notwithstanding tbo day has been the hottest of the year , the excellent programme prepared for the traveling men's outing drew n largo crowd to Gushinan park to-day. The attendance was much the largest of the week , nnd the day was most happily snout , The Gorman military band led the van to the train at 3:30 : o'clock , and Interspersed the talks of L W. Lansing , Lawrence Hns- Uell and Postmaster Watkins with choicest music. Lansing was most happy In his"of- fort to-day. His drollery and sharp , pun gent hits kept the crowd in the best of humor. Haskell , on "Tho Traveling Man and His Comforts , " was very facetious. Lust , but not least , came Postmaster Watkins - kins , who told of the trials and tribulations of the gray-coated carriers in disbursing'tho traveling man's mall. The pathetic part of his sketch , however , was his description of the disappointment of the boys In fulling to got anticipated letters from the loved ones at homo , or purchuuco their best girls. Miss Katie D. Scothorn's readings were received with repeated encores. The tournament followed the toasts and speech making , and the grand stand was packed like sardines In a box. There were six entries , Viz : Ray Barnes , Park Gar- routto , John Lotrldgo , Fred Doollttio and Walter Dean , all sons of traveling men , under twelve years of ago. Tbuir move ments were splendid , and eaoh in his en trance made a splendid showing. The rldo was ISO yards , and the game to secure the most rings on seven foot spears , placed equal distances nuart , In flvo dushis. Fred Doollttio led in the first dash , taking three rings ; Walter Dean , second , with two ; Bert Ruffaor , John Lotrldgo and Key U.irnos ono each , and Park Gurrautto none , Walter Dean led In the second with two , the rest ono each with the exception of John Lot- ridge , i who failed to score. In the third Doollttio , Lotrldgo and Barnes scored ono each , while Doan , Ruffnor and Garroutto fulled to gather a ring. In thn fourth Dean nnd Lotrldgo tied on two and Dee llttio mid Gniroutto on ono ouch. Bnrnos und Ruffnor failed. In the fifth Dean , Doollttio and Garroutto tecurod two rinirs , Bumes three , Lotridgo one and RulTncr none. .It will bo snon thut Doan and Doollttio thus tlod In the flvo dashes , ami it took two additional dashes between them to settle the tlo , Doan winning thn first prize by ono ring. Doollttio was awarded the second , U fir nes the third and Lotrldgo the fouitb. A purse of (1 was presented to Bert RulTncr because ho was compelled to handle his horse with his nalil hand and his spear witu his loft. Captain Agoy aotod as sturter , W. B. Taylor , Fred Lawrence dnd Fred A. Wilson us Judges , and W. H- Hophroy us timekeeper. The best tlmo made in any dash was eight seconds. > The gnuio of ball between Mayer Bros.1 and tlio traveling mon , assisted by Smith and Eatons1 team , was wiled at 5:30. : The trav eling men won by a score of U to 4 , alleged to have been due to rocky decision * ot the uin- plro. Tin : HUB representative who barely es caped being mobbed. Thu Committee iloporla. . The investigating commltteo hat at last agreed upon a rorort , but U has not yut been made public and will not bo until Monday nlflht. But TUB Ben man , in talking with various inombora of tbo commltteo , learned the following fact * concerning It : The find ing * of the commute * cover the testimony tduM in Uw DMB wad Ooopar uad Billingsly transaction and In the cases , in the bond , facts concerning the treasury record. In re gard to this latter the finding covers the facts of the loss of leaves from the record , some of v hlch nro still missing , calls attention to the fact that different funds have boon mixed , and called upon the work in the treasurer's office to bo done as neatly nnd correctly as bookkeeping Is done for Individuals and com panies. Attention is given to the fact that there Is no cash book kept by the treasurer that is a record book of the oflloo , und that is the property of the city. The report calls for the keeping of a record of this kind , m which all cash entries shall be miulo. In the matter of the accounts of W. J. Cooper , the committee report finds thut goods wore sola at an extremely high figure ; tlnds thut Mr. Cooper , as chairman of the water committee , sold goods of his own to himself and audited his own account between himself and himself , so that by the auditing ho virtually paid himself. It finds that , to dodge the law , ho sold the goods under an assumed name to the city , recognizing him self that ho had no right BO to do. The re port of the committee Is that suit bo com menced by the city to recover the excess charges , that tbo testimony bo turned over to tbo city attorney , and thut thut oftlclal pass upon the law and the facts ana act ac cordingly. The question of the right and liability of H. II.JUoan who sold goods under the u.uno of Gcorgo W. Ford , was also referred to the city attorney. The investigation did notllnd that Mr. Dean had charged tno city oxhorbl- tant prices. In the action of Councilman Billlngsloy In securing fees for looking at contracts and acting on matters In which the city was an interested party , while not Uncling facts to warrant n case in court the practice in the report is censured. In the Bums-Dean matter - tor In which the testimony of the Interested parties was in direct conlllct , the committee find that the demand of Horton was tnadi for a ton per cent fee on the contract. On this two witnesses testified that it was made. The testimony on the other side by Dean & Horton was that no demand was mado. From thu evidence , the com mltteo found that there was nothing to show that Doan ulmseU bad made or authorized the demand. In tlio MoMurtry deal the finding was that a lot was deeded to Dean by MoMurtry for one-fourth lUvaluo while tha adoption of MoMurtry'splut was pending in the council. The committee utato that from tbo oviaonco and circumstances that Dean would not have received the lot for the consideration of $141) had lie not been n member of the coun cil , and that it was tbo intention of McMur- try In deeding the lot for the sum ho aid to intlucncc Doau in favor of his plat. As Mc- Murtry tcstilled that Uoan made no de mands , and Doun tastlllod that ho made no demands , the committee found nothing to show that Dean waa influenced In the mat ter , so that the city's interests woru injured. In the bond transaction the report is along nnd conservative jeviow of tbo cntiro testi mony. The commltteo recognized that It was u legal proposition as to which party , tha city or its agents , woio entitled to the premiums soourod. The committee there fore recommended that proccodlngs bo insti tuted in court by the city attorney to recover said premiums , and to this end tbo testimony in the case will bo rofoncd to the city at torney for his consideration. The report was agreed to by the dtftaient members of the committco , except lu the bond case , in which Mr. McLuughlm dissented. Mr. Demi refrained from voting on the question , In which ho was uu interested party. The flimlngs will bo presented to the council Monday evening , lilnonin bpnrtainou.

Last Monday ovemng the Scottish Rite Masons had a most enjoyable social occasion as the finish of the observance of St. John's day. Their now cathednil on Pearl street , Council Bluffs , was the scene of tbo festivi ties. The ladles and vontlomen present had a tempting spread in tbo banquet hall. After partaking thereof toasts wore given , Dr. F. S. Thomas serving as master. Among these of the order who responded were Judge Reed , A. C. Gruhnm and Harry Howorth. C. M. Harl , ono of the invited guests , re sponded most happily to another. The ladies were by no moans itrnorcil , , and tholr re sponses were among the best. Mrs. 'Dr. Thomas recited a selection , humorously pre senting a woman's Idea of ronsonry. Mrs. Amina J. McNuuijhton was given the toast "Tho Thirty-fourth Degree , " and her origi nal and enjoyable response was as follows : Illustrious men of Ancient Scottish Ritoi Whose highly honored guests wo are to-night. Our lips nrn scaled to deepest mystery Enveloping the Thirty-fourth" degree. Not Knight of East or s word , or knight-elect , Or Prussian knight , or master architect , Not Knight of Iloyni Arch , or of the sun , Prince of Rose Crolx , or of Jerusalem , Or uuy other royal prince , or knight , Within the sovereignty of Scottish Rite , Dare we admit to the degree wo hold. For fear its ponderous sccrota would bo told. The gem abnvo its setting should appear. Lights should ahino down ( to every ono 'tis clear ) . Thus wise and evident design we see In giving us tbo Thirty-fourth degree. But the plot deepens lest wo watch and wait * ii5J And some tlmo enter the cathedral gate , Where to dosorvlng'obos the honors fall , And wo by being thora'&hould ' got thorn all , These princes , aonerals , commanders , knights , Have placed us on these ovortoworlng heights , > I'Jil Beyond the closed itudjharred cathedral door , Thut they may fear guv rivalry no moro. As Moses stood on Pls ah's barren brow. And saw the Btroams ot milk and honey flow , And guzed on rlpenufl .field and sturdy vine , Whoso golden corn nnd purple tempting wine J OJ He no'cr might tasUjrrSP wo from our high l ook down on lodgo'rtfo'ms ' that wono'ermay craco , And see , In Inncy , nTjntly banquets there \Vlttt wine und viands that wo iio'er may share With prince of royal secret most sublime , Our only privilege is to smell tno wlno. Wo grant you all the virtues that you claim , Which wreathe In honor every prince's name ; But do not grant that in your hearts they grow . To bear rich fruitage with time's onward flow. ' We rather claim those virtues you'possoss Uy vlrtuo ot your lawful right to us. In us the essence ot all good you find , Truth , charity and Justice all combined , With wisdom , faith and veneration , too , With love of God , of country , hbmu and yon. Wo have tbeio virtues as a sacrou trust , And you in turn have them by having us. As time files onward with relentless wings , And shine or shadow o'er our pathway Hingu , May no regret or heartache ever bo That yon gave ua the Thirty-fourth degree.

Shakespeare lodge enters on its now term with renewed lifo and vigor ; and alms to bring within its limits all worthy persons eligible to membership , for the purpose of binding in one common brotherhood the natives and descendants of the mother coun try. Its social advantages are excellent , and its tendency is to elevate , morally nnd intel lectually , all who place themselves within its limits. While it docs not con lllctwith the tollgious or political , opinions of its members , it has for its funda mental tenets a belief in the "Supremo Being , " a love nnd veneration for the ' 'Holy Blblo , " and recommends all who come within its borders to become citizens of the country of their adoption , that they may take part m the framing of wholesome laws and bo Icnowu of all mon as faithful supporters - ers of the constitutional authority of the land which has so aptly beau termed tbo "Great Britain. " It may bo added that tbo order of Sons of St. George Is doing n noble work , not only in cementing the bond of union between Englishmen and tholr immediate descend ants , but r.lso in its beneficial work.
