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.

LINCOLN. June 29.
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.

Scottish nito Banqnet.
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.

Rank Knights of Pythias , to bo hold at Co
lumbus , Nob. , Ju ly 1 to 8 , promises to bo
very successful. Three prizes have been
offered for drilling by company consisting of
$350 , $150 and $100 respectively. Omaha
division No. 13 proposes to bring back the
first prize or know the reason why. The
prospects nro that the ontlro regiment of ton
companies will go from this city. The fioll
and staff leave this moiulng to see that all U
in order for the boys.
There is ono matter which will bo brought
up for consideration a t the brigade meeting
at the encampment which is of grout Import
ance to all members of tbo Uniform Rank.
This is the question of bringing about a
change in the manner of ledge ropiesontation
in the Grand ledge BO that divisions of tha
Uniform Rank may be represented us
body. As this thing is now arranged tbo
divisions as a body are not represented at nil
in tha Grand ledge wbloh makes laws for
their government and to whose support ther
are obliged to contribute. This ' -taxation
without representation" Is getting monoto
nous , and a ohango is demanded. It is trua
the members belong at the same time , and ot
necessity to subordinate lodges which hava
representatives in the grand lodge , but Uior
have no power to select delegates to repriv
sent the rank.
