The coining terra of the district court , which opens on the 27th , will bo an Import ant ono. There is an unusually laixo num ber of civil cases. The criminal calendar Is also large , und embraces two murder cases. The interest in the coming Klrmess is great. The curiosity of the public will ciiuso the house to bo crowded , and thosa desiring choice of scats should not delay securing them. It promises'to bo the greatest homo entertainment ever given horu. The date of the old settlors' picnic and re union Is Thursday , August 23. There have boon numerous typographical errors errors in the various announcements bo that some may bo misled. The reunion takes pluco at Wnlvern on Thursday of nuxt week. A laborer engaged in excavating for Mar tin Hughes' now building unearthed a watch and chain eighteen inches below the surface. It is thought that It was planted by some ono who had stolen it. 'I he watch is in treed condition except the crystal side which was broken. The managers of the Klrmcss say that it is not expected that tlio audience will bo in full dress. Everybody will bo welcome In eilk or calico. The mummers Unit plenty to do In providing the elaborata entertainment and will leave the audience to look after their own dressing. Thcro is much necessity for havinc the names of streets placed on signs at the corners. Many of the houses , too , need re numbering. Some houses have their old numbers yet upon them. Buildings which have been moved from one part of tno city to another , in some cases retain their old num bers , causing much confusion. James Clogan was arrested in the Mer- nain building by Chief of Police Lucas at noon .yesterday upon a' warrant charging blm with assault uuon several men working for Sewer Contractor Miller. Tno warrant was mudo returnable to Justice Hcndricks' court , and the prisoner was turned over to Constable Foieman. Wllllo cti route to the court ho sprung from the constable's buggy and escaped.

Collmcl Tom Evnns As nT nltlc Tnlkor Golilborit'N Creditors Muk- firmly For Itrlok Anxious for tlio IjIclitnliiK to Strike. Thcro was a rumor floating around the streets yesterday which was strong enough to como singing through the windows of the postoftlco building , setting the whole forcoof clerks nnd employes to buzzing , to the effect that Congressman Head had recommended Postmaster Bowman's successor. The airy tongues that bora the rumor along syllabled the name of Major Lymnn , Iho trumeroui gentlemen who have boon holdIng - Ing nloft their lightning rods for n long tlmo in hope to catch the bolt when It should Hash , let them drop for u whllo to llml out who had been hit , The search was long and fruitless and after it hnd proved vain they picked up their rods und turned their points nnd their eyes toward the linpcrterbablo con gressional cloud whence the coveted bolt must como. , Tlio rumor tingled the cars of a reporter nnd ho started to hunt it down , Ha put an his wings und boldly penetrated the sanctum in the midst of the cloud itself , nnd a very pleasant colloquy ensued between himself nnd Congressman Reed. * " 1 hear you have recommended Major Lvmnn for the postofllco , " said the scrlbo. "What havoyou to sny about Itl" "Well , I'll tell you , " said Judge Heed with n droll smile , "If you hear any moro about It nnd anybody asks you just toll thorn for ino you don't Uuow. " The gentlemen who are applicants for the position have notified Congressman Reed that they still huvo their lightning rods up nnd will keep them there until next Novem ber. ber."Tho postofllco light has many elements of Interest in it , " said u well posted local poli tician yesterday. "fho question Involves a good deal for Congressman Heed himself , and I think ho feels the responsibility. Among the prominent candidates are Stcail- tnun , Nott , Beers and Major Lyniati. Sto.id- man hus n strong claim upon , the oflico , and would muka u popular postmaster , but there Is n strong faction of his own party working against him. His chances urn gone. Then there is Ed. Mott ; he'd bo a splendid post master , und he's an old soldier , but ho hus too many opposing him. Heed can't uhooso him and huvo harmony. Then there is young Ucers u first rate boy , but bo's un fortunate enough to ho n nephew of Judge Heed. If ho was appointed it would rulso a storm , for ho has never done any thing for the party. When he was in I'usoy's bank bo worked for Puscy's election - tion , und folks thought ho was a democrat. Then ho kept still until Judge Hoed was nominated , and then worked for his uncle's election on the republican ticket. It wouldn't do to ignore the old party workers und put a nephew In. " "What do I think of Major Lyman for postmaster ! " Woll. there's another rub. The major has fared pretty well alrcadv at the bauds of the party , tie is a splendid lawyer , but not much of u business man , and like many other great lawyers , a poor finan cier. It will spoil Judge Hood's chances for anything.morc , if ho gives Lyman this plum. I understand that some of the other congress men are anxious to huvo Lyman elvon tlio postofllco. Why don't they pitch in and help get him some good government position ? Put him on the bench , say in Colonel Keatley's pluco iu Alaska.1' "No , it don't look ns if any of these promi nent candidates can bo named without n row und a split that would spoil Judge Heed's * chances for another term in congress , or for the United States senate. There's a good deal of bud blood , uud it's getting baddor. " "Woll , what about a dark horsol" "I ruthor think this will bo the solution. Thcro is D. W.'Bushnell. I have heard that ho could have it , but won't take It. llo'd make a capital postmaster. J. M. Troynor is also named as liable to bo called upon.If ho would accept It no ought to suit , all around , or J. C. Mitchell , the ticket agent. in fact , uny stirring business man , n good accountant , etc. , would do , but there's been too much talk and too much pulling over the old candidates. T noy'vo got jealous of each other , and are bound to feel sere and make trouble. YeSj there's James Patterson , of Stewart Bros. J don't like him , but ho would make n splendid postmaster. The woods uro full of them , iu fact , and I think Judge Heed will avoid trouble by naming some such dark horse. " J. G. Tipton , real cstoto. 627 B'd-way. Seidenberg's 5c Figaro at the Fourtain.

" 1 wish the women of Council Bluffs would form a rifle club or some sort of an organi zation that would familiarize them with the use of .firearms and overcome their timidity and fear ot such thinirs , " said u prominent business man yesterday. "Perhaps tuoy would then carry such things when circum stances compelled them to go on the streets unattended ufter nightfall nnd tench a wholesome lesson to some of the whelps who make a practice of insulting every woman who appears ulouo on the streets after dark. Thcro uro a number of young lady clerks em ployed In my store , nnd on Saturday und Monday nights they uro com pellet ! to remain until after 0 o'clock. Some of them have to go homo alone , but they always arrange to go in company with each other , lliu the presence of ono another does not protect them and they have been repeatedly in sulted. Ono young lady who , by the way , is BOO u 10 bo married to an cstima- bio young man , has been particularly persecuted In this respect. Of late , she has , at my suggestion , carried a pistol when slio loft tlio stare at night. She has Had ono oc casion to use itslnco , but womau-liico , forgot HIO had it and gave the scoundrel who iu- Bultcd her a vigorous punch in the face with her parasol.

Ho did BO In a very creditable manner , his speech being very readable , nnd doubtless even moro hearablo. In the course of the response ho rolutod the following anecdote. Ho did not state who was the owner of the phonograph , but the HluQitos , who are good gucssers. may locate him. him."My friend , and ono of mv partners In this enterprise , at Council HlulTs , recently pur chased a phonograph. Ho is very much In terested in electricity , a stockholder and an ofllcor In an oloctrio railway , telephone ) and a very lurgo stockholder in a phonograph company in Iowa and Nebraska. Ho took his newly acquired phonograph to his club meeting that ho might edify and Instruct his associates with t ho use and bennlits of the phonograph. They bud musio from 'io operas , speeches from the politicians , und all were delighted , o much so that the club became - came merry und indulged in a good deal of uiusio of Its own. The day following my friend carried his phonograph hoino , thereby to Instruct und entertain lib wife and daugh ters , prefacing the cnjoymcut ho had had at tbo club the niuht before , listening to the operas and the eloquence that tbo Instrument presented , and ot course they were delighted to bo the owners of uch an Instrument , and Unit they could enjoy operas und reuiuin at homo , also Iho grout conventional oratory , us well us the forum of the court room , and with eagerness the wlfo grasped tbo phone , nml placing It to her ears , tellx my friend to como on with his operas , nnd the Instrument began rendering the music of the club , ' \\o won't go homo until morning , wo won't fro homo until mornlii.1 It Is needless to say that n different opcrn from the club room was attended tho-noxt ovonmg.

The special board of trade train , for the Crcston Blue Grass palace , loft the local depot of the Chicago , Burlington & Qulnoy nt 7:10 yesterday morning. The railroad company had agreed to furnish a special train if 100 fares at half rates were guaran toed. When the train pulled out there were 22-J passengers on board , and others weru taken on at the Junction , swelling the num ber to nearly i50. ! The train consisted of threo' beautifully decorated reclining chair cars , two coaches and a baggage cor. The decorations consisted of festoons of bunting , potted plants , grasses , etc. , and In ono ol the cars the festive sunflower pre dominated. The engine , No. 2b2 , was very tastefully decorated with bunches of grain and blue grabs , under the direction of L. E. Bridenstom. The train was in charge of the popular conductor , Michael Fnrroll. En gineer William ICelloy and Fireman Alf Morganson presided over the machine at the head of the train. Altogether it was u pleasant party that loft the Bluffs on the special , filled with the anticipation of a very enjoyublo trip. There were several "Q" ofllcials on the train , among them being J. M. Bechtelc , of Burlington , division freight und passenger agent , who came in Wednesday evening , und went as far with llio party n Pacific Junc tion ; W. J. Davenport , general freight und passenger agent ; M. M. Marshall , general agent at this point ; J. T. Pugh , general uitcnt nt Pacific Junction : L. E. Brldonstcin , master mechanic , and Gcorgo Webster , traveling engineer. Accompanyiac the partv , us guests of the board of trade , were the following members of the Omaha board of trade : W. N. Nnson , C. F. Goodman , F. E. Biiiloy , C. O. Lobcck , E. H. Wheeler and Edwin Davis. A very fust run was made to the Junction , where a stop of nearly half nn hour resulted on account of a hot box on the engine. Hegu- lar time was made beyond -that point to Hed Oak , nnd from there to Creston some fast running was done , arriving at the city of the Blue Grass palace a few minutes before 11 o'clock. It was expected that there would bo a reception committee nt the depot , but , urobubly owing to some misunderstanding , there was a failure to make connections and n part of the visitors got lost in the shuffle , as it were , but eventually turned up at the fair grounds. It was to bo expected that there would bo many llttlo details wanting attention , which , owing to incompleteness of preparations , always attendant on the first day's exorcises , hud been overlooked. Soon after arriving at Creston the party took carriages , und escorted by Dalbey's Hilitary band , of this city , Company D , Fifth regiment , I. N. G. , of Creighton , Crns- tou Fire department , nnd Crcston Cornet band , drovooutto the grounds , where , after n brief inspection of the colcbr.itocl palace , the addresses of the day were mado. , . The following gcntlcmou occupied" the speakers stand : Governor Larraboa and staff ; W. L. Alexander , adjutant general ; G. P. Hnnawalt , surgeon general ; Jonn Duughorti , colonel and aide ; W. W. Ellis , commissary general ; W. C. Wyman , captain and military secretary ; Colonel O'ICeefo ; aldo ; Governor Thayer and staff ; General A. V. Cole , adjutant general ; Colonot E. M. Gorvcll , quartermaster general ; Colonel M. W. Stone , surgeon general ; Colonel H. S. Hotchkiss , inspector general ; President Harsh , Hon. Lucius Wells und other repre sentative citizens. J. B. Harsh , of Creston , prosldont of tlio Blue Grass league of southwestern Iowa , was master of ceremonies. The exorcises opened with proynr by Kev. W. S. Hooker , of Creston , after which Governor Larrabco , of Iowa , wes introduced to make the dedi catory address. His remarks consisted mainly of statistics and politics , for which ho was severely criticized oy many of these In attendance , who thought that at best the governor showed very boor taste In taking advantage of such a gathering to make a political harangue. Ho spoJto but a short tlmo , however , when Governor Thayer , of Nebraska , was introduced , The Nebraska covornor spoke for about half an hour , his remarks being in the nature of a rovlow of the progress made by Iowa In the past twonty-flvo years , with many u good word for Nebraska thrown in at in- tcrvuls. Ho was frequently applauded , and bis speech seemed to put the crowd iu a very happy mood. At the conclusion of his re marks the visitors sought the dining hulls and lunch counters. In the afternoon the formal address of welcome was made by Hon. John A. Patterson. mayor of Creston. It was briefly responded to by Hon. Lucius Wells , vice president of the Blue Grass league for Pottawattainio county , who , in conclusion , introduced Colonel W. F. Sapp , of Council Blulfs. At the hands of this gentleman , the advantages of I'ottawat- tumlo were portrayed in glowing colors. Other short addresses were made by Spencer Smith nnd D. A. Farrell , after which the as semblage was dismissed , and the remainder of the day devoted to sight seeing. The displays made by the various counties were in ovor.v way creditable to ttioui. and were of such size und vurlety'us to raiulro at least tinco hours for a thorough inspec tion. There were fifteen counties repre sented , ouch occupying u section by itself. Of course , the center of attraction for the Council Blutfs Jologatlon was the I'ottawat- tiunio exhibit , and It was of such a nature that no resident of that county need have any feeling , except one of pride , concerning it. It was without exception the finest dis play of general products made by any county. The exhibition was varied , Including vege tables , corn , small grain , fruit and flowers , Thcro were 17".l varieties of apples ami sixty- two of grapes , In this exhibit was the longest blue grass shown by uny county , u bunch iiitio foot tall being displayed. Potta- wattamlo also had the banner corn stalk , it measuring bixteon foot , ono inch In halghth , and ten feet to the center of the first oar. A twenty pound boot and a twonty-llvo pound oabbago were among the attractions of the vegetable display , and a piece of grape vine fourteen feet long , containing sixty-two bunches ot grapes , UUH n feature of the frut | exhibit. But it muitt not bo inferred that Pottawut- tauila bad everything her own way ia the mnttT of fine dl pl .ui. Although she Ir-d In the wuy of n acnJnil exhibit , there were others which had'llfttecr special displays. Appar.ooso cotTpW had a largo exhibit of coal from the Combrvlllo mines. Mills county tmulo a heavy grass exhibit and n largo fruit display. Taylor county triidb a very fine poncral ex hibit , showing mnb handsome Individual specimens of vojrutah'e.i. ' The specialty fnuluro ot tlio Lucas county exhibit wns a larnoi display of pencil sketches by pupils of the Chnrhon public schools. Adnir county showed the finest display of grasses , the prlntjijSal fcnturcn being a sheet ) nnd horse neatly manufactured from small grain nnd grass. In the Clurlto 'tfrtunty exhibit were Homo hnndsomo specimens nf ctraw drapery nnd a cabinet of intricate Joiner work. The latter contained over G.000 pieces of wood. Including ninety different kinds. It was made by J. L. Butler , ot Osccola. Warren county made n fine showing of various woods , tlio , vegetables nnd fruit. Tbo MadUon countv exhibit was mostly wood , Including a cabin from Mncksburp , built of twenty-six different kinds of wood all grown in that county. The other exhibits In this section were stone and grass. Montgomery county hnd a very tastily ar ranged display of grass and fruits. Adams county had n flno exhibit , of apples , corn , snmll grain , potatoes , wood and drain tlio. A handsome colling made entirely of small grain , in panels , attracted a great deal of attention. The Cass county dlsplav wns late in arriv ing , nnd wns not unpacked until late In the day. It consisted almost entirely of manu factured articloi from Atlantic , Including starch , soap , condition powders and canned goods. Decatur county showed grass and corn In profusion. Next to Pottawnttamio county Pngo county had the finest general exhibit In the palaco. A handsome modern cottage made of corn wns among the exhibits. Thcro wuro splendid specimens of vegetables , ilno fruit , oxcelhint brick nnd wood. Notwithstanding the general excellence of the displays of other counties , the palm for nttructlvoncss must bo awarded to Union county , the homo of the blue grass palace. It was not the variety of articles , as * grass mid gram formed the creator part of the nxhlblt , but the muny odd designs into which they were manufactured. Chairs , cradles , stands , spin ning wheels the wheel ot commerce , god dess of corn and tillage , iiro place , flro screen , moss covered buckets , etc. etc. , were there In endless variety , which caused this display to bo an object of continual Interest. An immense pyramid of vegetables was also shown by Union county. The greater part of this exhibit was prepared by the city of Crcston , with the assistance of nfow farmers l ? the Immodlato vicinity , and is a splendid nttributo of the skill and Ingenuity of her enterprising citizens. Itvns quite natural that tlio Union county exhibit , or , moro correctly , the Creston ex Inbit , should surpass all others , us articles of homo manufacture could bo shown which it would bo impossible to transport from a .dis tance , but it must ho said to the croait of the ladles of Crcston that they labored long and faithfully , not so much to eclipse all others as to make their initial Blue Grass palace exposition a grand and overwhelming suc cess.
