A colored woman called at the police sta

plained that slio had been abused by her
husband. She had been attending prayer
meeting on North Main street , and when she
went home , 521 East Broadway , her husband
throw her out of the bouse and struck her
with a whisk } * bottle which ho had been in
dustriously emptying of its contents , She

Lust ovenlug's heavy rain storm caused
another rlso of Indian crook. The
waters were obstructed again oy the North
western bndco nt the corner of Eleventh
Btrcct , and wore sent in a Hood across lower
Broadway for a block or two cast. Fortun
ately but little damage was done , nlthough
the creek rose a distance of ihroo foot in
nbnut on hour and a half. It Is thought that
the damage suits which nro ibout to Do com
menced against the Northwestern railway
company will have the effect of bringing the
company to terms , and putting a stop to suoh
occurrences.
Complaint Is being Indulged in on all sides
on account of the weeds that are being
allowed to disgrace the public streets in all
parts of the city. Across from the court
house there Is a luxuriant growth on a
vacant lot between Main and Pearl street.
On the corner of Broadway and Tenth the
wcoils .iro higher than a man's head , and as
nn added misfortune , the ground Is very low ,
so that the molsturo of the past summer has
pntnored there. It Is just the kind of place

The game nt , Manawa yesterday was not
exactly what could uo called interesting from
* professional point of vlow , hut Judging
from the amount of noise that was made by
the audience , there was moro real interest
felt in the game than In any that has boon
played In this vicinity for u long time. The
grand stand was well tilled with spectators ,
and every good play was mot with applause ,

picked out by the dozen by anyone who was
Inclined to stickle for the technical points of
the national cnmo , were greeted with de
risive , though good natured jeers.
The members of the bar from Papllilon
arrived about noon accompanied by quite a
number of thulr friend * who came along to
BOO that their friends had fair piny. The
visitors wore not compelled tomakoanidavlts
that they wcro all practising lawyers , as
was suggested , and 'therefore some doubts
were oxproised as to whether some of them ,
whowuro apparently still in their teens ,
were regularly practising nttornuvs. But
they were old enough to ulav a pretty fair
game of ball , anyway , and nobody cared any
fun her ,
Tno names of the players In both clubs
wcro as heretofore published , with the ex
ception of the Bluffs catcher , Travis taking
thoplacu of Emll Schurz. Good work was
done on the whole by the battery , Drove and
Allen for Panilllon and Travis and Aakwlth
for Council Bluffj. The mala feature of the

During the llrst half of the game the Bluffs
boys keut ahead of th.Mr rivals , hut after the
sixth Inning the tables were turned , nnd the
Papllllonltot took tbo lead. The last Inning ,
however , came very near evening things up ,
and at the close tbo score stood 17 to IS in
favor of Papllilon. The game woa awarded
to Pupllllon by Umpire F. W. Neal , and a

Invcstijjatinsr Cut-On" .
The city council took a drive over to Cut-
On Island day before yesterday afternoon
for tbo purpose of looking over the ground In
order that in the future when matters como
up that need attention they can act under-
standlngly. They cnmo back fully convinced
that If Iowa wins the suit now pending In
the supreme court for the possession of the
Island the city will got Just what it wants ,
the opinion of some of the citizens to the con
trary notwithstanding. According to a
statement made by ono of the aldermen the
land which Is the subject of litigation is the
only part of the island thai is worth any
thing , and the council was unanimous in the
feeling that Iowa must , have It If such n thing
is possible.
An immense amount of grading Is being
done there , over n thousand men bring cm-
ployoa In thu work by the East Omaha Land
company. Many now buildings are being
constructed , and the place Is talcing on a to
tally now appearance. City SurvoyorTosto-
vin states that the grading now buintr done
will bring thuislund up to a level with that
in the business part of Council Bluffs.
Another result of the ride will bo witnessed
in tbo course of u few days in the form of a
couple of law suits which are to bo com
menced in superior court to compel the
Union Paclllc and the Northwestern rail
way companies to rnlso their bridges in ac
cordance with the ardors of the city
council , some months auo. As stated In TIIR
UKK , these companies huvo steadily Ignored
nil warnings glvmi them by tbo council nnd
an effort will now bo made to induce them by
moans of the order of a cuurt to do what they
should already have done nt the council's re
quest. The city maishal served notlco on
the companies yesterday that a suit would bo
commenced against them on or before August
15 to compel thorn to remove the Indian
crook bridges at Eleventh street and Tenth

T1IK HKK IIVIIK.IU Of CitAIJIS.
\VIio Compote Itn Coiinncl and How
It IB Managed.
About sixty days ago n now departure was
nauguratcd by tbo San Francisco Examiner ,
now the leading-paper on the coast. Its pro-
nriotor , Mr. llcnrst , son of thu late Senator
Hearst of California , who has a very la"go
fortune at his command , conceived the idea
of establishing a bureau of claims at Wash
ington , manned by the ablest lawyers
and specialists conversant with the routine
wont In the various departments and bureaus
of the government. *
When the nnnouncomntof this new depart
ure was made negotiations were nt once en
tered into between Tun Br.i : and the proprie
tor of the Examiner to Join hands an d inu
ually share In the enterprise. These ar
rangements havo.beon perfected nnd agree
ments entered into by which TIIE Bin is to
prosecute all claims urrislng In the territory
where Tun Bin : enjoys so extensive a sub
scription patronage.
Under this agreement all applications for
claims , cither for pensions , Indian depreda
tions land or mining claims , patent or pos
tal claims In the states of Iowa , Kansas ,
South Dakota and Nebraska , will bo taken
in hand by TUB BKC BUHRAU or CLAIMS In
Omaha and through it fowardod to head
quarters at Washington where they will bo
prosecuted to n llnal and speedy conclusion.
Tin : BIE : takes pleasure In offering to all
its patrons nnd particularly to subscribers to
Tin : WIIKI.V : Br.E , the services of its now
bureau which , we have no doubt , wil 1 prove
of groit advantage to them , both in prosecu
ting now claims to a successful issue and in
expediting all claims entrusted to THE Bui :
bureau.
Tin : Bnn BUUEVU OF CLAIMS has frequently
bacn referred to in these columns , but up to
the present time , no reference has boon made
to the manner in whicu its Important work Is
performed. This is ono of the most , Interest
ing featurns connected with the antorpriso.
The Iliiroau'H Counsel.
To begin with , the siii vices of tbrca most
eminent councilors have boon retained.
These are A. L , . Hiuhos , O. E. Wellor , and
"
P. J. Butler. They "nro denominated "gen-
oral counsel. " They are men of mature
years nnd learned in tno law. They have
made a specialty of practising in tbo
the United States supreme , circuit and dis
trict courts , the United States court of claims
aud before all the departments and bureaus
of the government. They nro qualified to
pass upon the general merits of any claim , as
soon as It Is presented. This saves a great
deal of time , because , when a claim has been
passed upon by them , it is generally one
which is entitled to a standing m court.
When a claim Is rejected by them , It means
that it Is either outlawed or that it lacks cer
tain elements which would loa-1 to its final
approval.
Kxainlncrs and Experts.
Besides these gentlemen thuro are also a
practising attorney , an examiner and expert
in each department in which Tin ? Bii : pro
poses to probcouto claims , namely , these of
patents , pensions , postal and land claims and
Indian depredations , in fact in any depart
ment in which a claim may nriso against , the
federal government. These attorneys pre
pare the petitions nnd tend to the claims before -
fore the several courts , while the examiners
and experts mokouspeciulty of searching tbo
records nnd arranging the evidence neces
sary to strengthen the chum.
The gentleman charged with this duty re
garding Indian depredations has bcun the as
sistant chief examiner of thcso duitns In tbo
Indhin burc.ui of tbo Interior depirtmont for
mauv years. His comprehensive knowledge
of details , facts , hWtiib of and evidence in
the coses heretofore ( lied or the outbreaks
out of which others yet to bo tiled have
arisen , renders his services extremely valu
able.
able.Then there is a general manager , John
Woddorburn , For years ho was priv.ito sec
retary to Senator Hearst , tbo father of Hon.
William tlearst , the projector of the present
enterprise. He has nNo been for years the
Washington correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Kxundnor , with which TinBKK : is no v
co-operating. Ho Is a man of universal Ill-
format Ion and is especially adapted to the
responsible position ho now holds.
Than this force nouo more capable could
bo found In the country. Its services have
been retained ut great expense by tbo
bureau , the salaries alone reaching at the
present tlmo $1,800 per month.
As has been Minted , the S.m Francisco Ex-
nmlnor inaugurated the enterprise , and
through It Tun Bin : was allowed to establish
its bureau for the accommodation of claim
ants In South D.ikota. Iowa , Nebraska and
Kansas. This privilege was Hwt , of all the
papers la the country , extended to TUB BUB ,
bccau&e of Its known pluck , enterprise and
energy.
The undertaking , however , tws at
tracted so much attention throughout
the country nnd been so greatly appreciated
by old boldlers , Indian victims , nnd defrauded
government claimants , that leading papers
elsewhere have asked to bo admitted to
enjoy the privilege * of the bureau. Among
ttioio papers there is a le.ullng ono in Minnesota
seta and others In Boston , Cincinnati , St.
Louis , Atlanta nnd Now Orleans. It Is
thought that Mr , Hearst , the proprietor of
1'ho Examiner , nnd tbo gentleman who In-
auiMirutod the svstom , will grant the applica
tion.
Clalnm Coining In.
Tin : Bin : CI.UM BUUBAU has not been In
zxistcnco ono month and yet it has listed
Indian deprldatlon claims aggregating
$32,000 , ald | tbo amou.it Is being con
stantly added to. This is a remark
able showing , and yet it U but a fraction of
.he claims which remain unrecorded and Un
paid In the stutoH controlled by TUB Bin :
BUIIRAU OK CI.UMS , namely , South Dakota ,
Nebraska , Iowa and Kansas.
On March ! l , of this year , an act for the
payment of InJIun depredation claims was
approved. To this act , It Is neces
sary to direct thu attention of every
claimant who has suffered at the bauds of
Indians. This refers to these victims wlioao
claims huvo all oady boun tiled ui well as to
these who still contemplate tiling them. Up
to tbo duto In question , thousands of
sufferers had tiled thulrclaluis with attorneys
in all parts of the country aim wuru in most
cases charged excessive foes. Many of tbo
claims , too , bad been * pending for years.
Satisfied that , in many cases , the claimants
had contracted with the attorneys In ques
tion and , without fear of proiecutlon for
transfer thulr claims to
other agents or attortmys who might cipc
due the collection , con K res undertook d
afford the desired relief.- This It did in tin
net In question.
Annulling ; ICxorultniil Contrncto.
Jurisdiction In ihcttfl'maltors was tran
fet red to the court ofxlalms where the sc
vices of nn attorney arc Indispensable. Undc
this law , all agroomonO made by claimant
with attorneys , prior to March , 1801 , tin
oxpresslv declared nuiriind void. This wa1
done ns has been tntlmalad to release claim
ants from exorbitant fpo , contracts.
Every claimant Is , tftbreforo , free to cm
ploy as his attorney w&umsocvcr ho pleases
under tbe.io circumstances , It would appeal
to be to the ndvantaga of every person hnv
Ing n clnlin to place the same with the bit
reuu guaranteed by such a reliable nnd re
sponslblo paper as * TUG WEE , rather that
with unknown parties ,
The disappointed attorneys whom the law
In question has deprived of exorbitant fee :
hnvo bcon Hooding tbo country threatening
their former clients with suit should thuj
take their claims from them and place then
In the hands of other attorneys. But thl :
should not discourage claimants , because or
act of congress Is paramount to nny and nl
agreements entered Into with nny attorney
prior to the tlmo named In the said law.
To Itcuovur Co Indian Deprcdiitloin
Parties desiring to avail themselves of thi
benefits of the act In Question ro

should forward to TUB Bnr. BtmiiAU 01
CI.UMS power of attorney , granting author

of Indians committing depredations , name ;
nnd present addresses of witnesses whose
testimony tlu y expect to use In nubitantla-

tlon bearing upon the case us they may
possess.
Upon receipt of this simple Information ,
TUB BIK : Briti\u or CLAIMS will immediately
attend to tbo moro intricate or dilllcult por-
ion of the preparation.
The claims must not bo based on depreda
tions extending back beyond 1805.
Headers of Tin : Bni : or these who may file
claims for collection , are respectfully re
quested to furnish TUB Bin : UUKBAU OK
C'I.UMS with the names nnd addresses of any
other parties who have suffered similar
losses at the Imnus of Indians. Many pcoplo
are ns yet unaware of the recent favorable
legislation by which these claims can now , If
properly prepared and presented bo collected.
But Indian depredation claims are not the
only ones which Tun Bnn BUHHAU OP
CIAI.MH proposes to handle. In brief , it will
look after nny claim which nny citizen has
against the government or nny department of
the government. It will bo specially service
able to soldiers of the late war.
IVn.loiiH Tor Aged Soldiers.
Strange us it may appear , tuero are thou
sands of veterans of tbo rebellion , who are
old , weary , Inlirm and beyond tbo skill of
physician or surgeon to restore to health.
Many of thcso arc < incapncitntcd because of
exposure or injuries sustained in the late war ,
and yet , many of these are unprovided with
pensions.
I'cnHloiiH Tor Inlirm Soldlern.
There are thousands of poor fellows who

that their prostration Is not the result of

that she married the soldier prior to Juno 27 ,

in these inventions ! there are sometimes for
tunes to he found. Yet , comparatively
speaking , but few of these Inventors ever
seek n patent. Thov do not know how to do
it. Tdoy fear the cost and the delay. THE
BIB BUREAU OK CI.UMS has reduced thcso
almost ton minimum.
Pensions lor Soldiers' Parents.
There nro thousands of soldiers' parents
who nro also Ignorant ot the fact that they
nro entitled to pcnsious. These must prove
that their son died from a wound , Injury or
disease which , under prior laws , would have
given him a pension ; that ho loft no wlfo or
minor child ; that the mother or father is at
present dependent upon his or bor own man
ual labor or the contributions of others not
legally bound for bis or her support.
Besides thuso claims , TUB Bnc BUUKAU
will prosecute land claims growing out of
disputes or appeals from local land oflices to
tbo general land oMuo of tbo United States.
Appoil.s : From Local timid OlIlecH.
These appeals are frequently most annoy
ing to both parties. The local attorney can
not personally prosccuto tbo cuso in Wash
ington. It would cost to support htm there ,
frequently moro than the land In question Is
worth , to say nothintrof his fees , which , ns
has been shown , nro generally ns high ns
may bo collected , lie Is , therefore ,
compelled to trust the claim Into the hands
fa man whom she does not know , whoso
first move is to bleed the claimant and the at
torney who refers the claim to him. Be
tween thcso men the appellant bungs In un
certainty until the final adjudication has
beou made.
In Tin : BuiBiuiuu OP CLAIMS those would
bo placed in the linndi of well known and re
sponsible people , pushed with the greatest
energy and at thu minimum of cost. Tin :
Bin : BUIIE vu or CLAIMS therefore is the medi
um through which these appeal cases should
bo prosecuted.
. * > inrii and Pontal ClalniH.
The same Is true of mining mul postal
claims. These would go Immediately to coin-
potent hands. Ttuty would not bo delayed.
If unworthy , they would never bo tiled in
court , but tbu claimant would bo notified of
the fact. Ho would thus bo relieved of till
anxiety within it few months , whereas , as It
is now , bo does not know what kind of a
claim ho has until after it has bcon passed
upon by the courts or the departments.
THE BBB BUHEAU can toll a good claim
from a bad claim. It never presents the lat
ter. It does not wish to rob the treasury. It
collects only claims that are Just.

Indian Depredations.
The last congress pas od an act designed to
facilitate the presentation and collection of
tbo claims of citizens of the United States
for depredations committed by thu members
of the various Indian tribes since July 1 , iSllo.
This act provides for the speedy hearing and
determining of nil such claims , and allows at
torneys presenting them to charge from 15 to
UU per cent. It Is believed that the work can
bo done for from 5 per cent and upwards of
the amount of the claims as allowed by the
proper court , thus effecting a largo saying to
claimants who huvo in tbo past paid fromftljff
to 50 per cent for such work. By the terms
of this law all claims must be prosecuted before -
fore the court of claims within three years
from the date of Its passage or that they will
forever bo barred ; so that it Is desirable that
persons who have suffered from Indian dep
redations In the states of Nebraska , Knns'is ,
Iowa and South Dakota should nt oncu com
municate with Tin : BEE buronu ol'iMaims and
have the matter put in proper shnpo und pre
sented to thu court immediately.
Claimants should take notlco that bj the
terms of the law above alluded to , all con
tracts nt present existing between themselves
and attorneys , wherever located , nro ren
dered null nnd void ; therefore. It will bo noc-
pssnry for them to ongugo other attorneys
or make ether contracts In accordance
with the terms of the law. THE Bni :
buronu of claims undertake * thu collection of
nny such claims on terms in Unholy moro
favorable than these offered by the attorneys
ami agents who have endeavored to make
largo profits from this class of business , ns
its desire Is to bonelit only a class of Its
readers who nro Illy able to afford to pay tlio
exorbitant fees for such services , which ro-
qulro only honesty , Intelligence nnd persist
ence In their presentation to bring them to
n successful Issta * .
Claims that are filed first under the now
law will naturally have first attention In the
court of claims , and therefore It Is desirable
to got them Into the hands of the proper
authorities ns soon ns possible.
Pensioned A tor Death.
In the report of pensions granted Wednrs
day the Nebraska list is headed by the name

suffering for his country on the battle field.

I investigation of that place nnd the arrest of
I Its managers early lust month. A brother of

ing prospectus :
The Kxamlnur hat received so mrny com
plaints from Its subscribers In various locali
ties on the coast of the delay , extortionate
charges and unsatisfactory work performed

has decided to establish In Washington n
buronu for the collection of nil legitimate
claims against the government or its vurloni
departments. This bureau will bo In
