Hold. Colonel 0. II. Scott has Just returned from Washington , I ) . C. , whore ho went ns n com mittee from the city of Oinuha to lay before the national republican convention the claims of hla city for thu national convention next year. Ho went Into the business with his characteristic oncrB.v , and It is needless to say his efforts were not thrown away. Ho states that ho was listened to With Kruat Interest aad iho utmost courtesy by the members of the committee , although , of course , nothing was scoured In the -vay of promises. Nevertheless , ho Is greatly en- couriigod by what ho saw thure , and Is In clined to bollevu Unit the contest Is practi cally inn rowed down to the cities of Chicago and Omaha. U'hcn the convention was held In Chicago much tnconvenlcnco nnd disappointment was caused visitors by the action of the citizens in getting hold of all the tickets oi admission to the hall , and uccplnp them , to iho exclusion of linndicds and i housands of outsiders. This dilllculty would not ho experienced to so trrcat , an ex tent in Oinului , and the fact will be appre ciated by thoio who were at Chicago. Col. bcott was in the UlulTs yesterday looking over the ground for the purpose of tlii'ltng out how many visitors Council Bluffs could take euro of. " He finds , after consult ing with the various hotel keepers , that Council Bluffs would have no tioublo in on- tertaininir srM , ( ) people , and if It came to the .scratch , 10,0(10 ( people could llml accommoda tions on this side the river. Omaha may not bo nhlo to care for all the visitorheiself , so Council liluffs may como in for n good sh.iro of the benollts. Colonel Scott was gratified to learn how strong the feeling is among the Bluffs oitl- 70DB In favor of Oniiilm in the coming contest. Ho had not expected to lind them so very enthusiastic over it , but to put 11 In his own langimge.lw ' 'found it h.mltotell whether ho was In Council HlutTs or Omaha , so far as enthusiasm was concoineil. " The fact is. Council HltilTs in particjlnr , and Iowa in general , will profit as much by the Holding of the convention In Omaha , us will Ne braska , and this fiv.-t is necomini ; mote and moro thoroughly understood. A11 the delegates from the east will have to pass through the entire state of Iowa on their wav , and in doing so tney will linvo n chance to see for themselves the vust resources of Iowa. In this way thostato will reap enormous bene fit in the nay of advertising. Colonel Scott suggests that a joint committee he appointed from Omaha and Council Hluffs , whoso busi ness it shall bo to raise funds and make all other iiirangumcnta that may bn found neces sary to secure the convention. It is likclv that a committee of this kind will bo selected in the near future , and from now on the woik will DO pushed ns rapiuly as posslbje.

Attorney General Stone rendered an opin ion yesterday in reply to u question put to him by County Attorney O. C. Brown of Indianola , Warren county. The Indianola attorney states Unit some tlmo ago a mad dog pot loose In his city and bit some horses and cnttlo , a number of which died , while the rest nro Doing kept in imaranttno by thelrownors , who are unwilling to have them killed so long as there U no absolute neces sity. Ho wants to know whether the township trustees have a ri'jht to order the animals killed , on the ground that the Killing is ncceh.sary to preserve the public health. In his decision the attorney general states that by the statutes power is given to the state board of health to take nny stops which may bo necessary to preserve the pub lic health , and that the local township boards have tuo same powers over their limited ter ritory when they nro acting ns boards of hpnllh. Another decision is in reply to L. T. .McCoun , county attorney of Bedford , who wants to know whether ho has a right to col lect his percentage of nil line money paid into the county in cases which ho has not helped to prosecute. lie holds that the county at torney is the only prosecuting attor ney recognized by law , and that the presumption is thut ho conducts nil criminal cases , whether ho does .in reality or not ; hence ho lias a riu-lit to col lect In all cases whcro lines are paid. lie calls attention , however , to the fact that in all probability tno legislators did not Intend such a state of aftairs to exist , nnd that if their attention lind been called to it they would doubtlosi have changed the wording of the law. it must bo construed literally , however , and sn long as It stands as it now stands , ho Is entitled to pay in all eases.

The horse and bucgy stolen from Mannwa Saturday have not been recovered , although the owner , Mr. Bulla , and Attorney Van Uusen , who accompanied him from South Omaha , have boon energetically nrosccutlng the search. A very nice clue has been dis covered , and it is probable will lend to some very Interesting developments and bo the means of apprehending a gang of young toughs who threaten the pence of u wider territory ritory than Is included In thtlr own tniiuo dlato vicinity south ot the ItiUo. During the latter part of May a saloon be longing to M. Unuhwlti , half a mile east of the hotel , was burglarized nnd completely cleaned out. A boor keg was used to batter hi iho door. The assault on the place was miule whllo the proprietor was In the UlulTs and no one was around the promlses.iiiul when thu fellows left the building was uuJly wrecked. A good description of the follows was obtained , and it is said that Knchwltz found two kegs , of beer ami several boxeof cigars In a Held , and subsequently discovered and forced a settlement from the fellows who had smashed up his place. Last Wedi esdav night n gnnp of fellows answering the description or the outfit that visited the KncUwtU place attempted to com mit a I old hlgtmnv robbery on the roau be tween Manawa uml Iho UluiTs and llml sev- oial shots nt their escaping victim , solnti of the bullets striking the huggv ho was driv ing. ing.It Is quite certain that It Is the sumo gang who inn oil thu horsu and buggy Saturduy night. Two of them accompanied Bulla and Van Dusen across thu hike on thn bo.it and followed them while the other two pot away with the horse and buggy. This Is the clew that is being worked and It promises to bu a fruitful one. The gang is a very hard quartette of young farm la borers.

The transfer of the six foot strip of land nloi.g the old Plcico street school on little Prank street from tlu > school district to the city was ordered completed , the president nnd secretary being authorized to sign the ncccssnry quit eln'm ' deed. A petition with n largo number of signa tures was pre-icnted , asking that the former action of the board be rescinded and the high sch.iol bo moved back from the Hill to \Vashlngton aveniiu building which was rcte.Tcd. A communication was read from W. II. Stoner , representing the American book company , offering to take up nil the Fish arithmetics now In use In the schools , and give them in lieu thereof Whito's arith metic without extra churic , providing the bonnl would rescind Its former action In adopting ( irucnlcnt's arithmetic for use dur ing the coming year. Ho made a llko p'-ouo- sltioa relative to any other case where u change is contemplated to-some other uublicn- tlon. the book of the American book com pany now being in use. A long drawn out discussion followed the reading of this. Shubert moved to rescind the former action as sugge tcsl and accept the proposition made by Mr. Stoner. Hunter seconded the motion , and favored it on the ground that conMderablo money would bo saved the district by so doing. Schoentgcn opposed thu motion on the ground that the proposition was not made by the company when H made its bid. Ho thought if any exception should bo made of the American hook company , there was nothing to prevent Iho other bidders to come in with the same kind of propositions. Stacy thought btoner's proposition was dishonorable , and that thu board would be likely to put its fou ) In It if It accepted. Wnito was opposed to running nnv risk , although ho wanted to save the district all the money ho could. The previous question at last shut off debate , and the motion was lost , Shubert and Hunter being the only ones who voted In favor of It. Schoontgon , as chairman of the committee appointed to consider the advisability of lo cating a school house west of Thirty-foutth street and south of the Union 1'aclliedump , recommended that n committee con sisting of the chairman of the commit tees on buildings and grounds , supplies and touchers be appointed and instructed to rout a building in that vicinity largo enough to accommodate forty pupils , furnish it ami biro a teacher for such a term as might be necessary. The recommendation was adopted. Stncy was authorised to prepare the bond required for the Minneapolis school furniture company for the performance of its contract in furnishing school scats und forward for signature. ritacy also reported the following bids re ceived from local dealers for handling school hooks for the ensaing llvo vears : Dell Mor gan & Co. , per cent ; D. W. Bushuell , 7J percent ; L. C. Bracket , B per cent ; J. C. Dchaveii , ( i per cent ; George S. Davis , Jijif per cent , or $148.50 for one year. Davis' and DoIIaven's bids were found to have boon sent in after the other bids were open , and Bushncll's wns the only ono that hnd been sent In within the time nroscribed in the nd- vortisenient for bids. Hunter accordingly moved that nil the dids bo rejected , and Waitu moved thut the committee on supplies bu instructed to rcndvcrtiso for bids , or to notify the dealers that they would bo ex pected to send in now bids within ton days. Waltc reported that no action could be taken with regard to P. C. Dovol's protest against awarding the contract for furnishing the heating appiratus for Iho Harrison street school house to Snugart & Co. , as it had not been inado ui.tll the contract had been signed with Shugnrt.

On Account of the Hired Man Anna G. Kuhl commenced suit In the dis trict court yesterday for a divorce from her husbandMnthwsIvuhl.Tlie case is ono of some public interest as it is nn outgrowth of quite a chapter of domestic infelicity , several chapters of which Imvo appeared in the daily press nt different times. Mr. and Mrs. Kuhl have been living on n farm in Garner towu- shlp for some yeais past , but last May they sonanted , as Mrs. Kuhl alleges , on ne- count of her husband's cruel treat ment. Even after the separation , however , Kuhl would come to the house fre quently and terrify his wife by threatening to kill her. The main cause ol all the trouble was a hired man named Uobleck , who had fallen madly in love with Mrs , Kuhl , who 10- ciprocated his affection. In her petition Mrs. Kuhl alleges that her husband. not only threatened to shoot her , but ho also ordered his fifteen-year-old son Valentino to do so. Shu claims ho also accused her nearly every day of being unfaithful to him. She asks for n dlvorco and the custody of their six children. _ _ _ * Bo sure and use Mrs. Wlnslow's Soothing Syrup for your children whllo teething. ! J3 cents n bottle. A. < lilneHiPicnic. .

The present Benson will see no cattle "drivrs" over the olil trails lending from the great feeding grounds of To.xns to the Kansas shipping stations. The opening of Oklahoma , the pushing of railroads Into interior Texas , the various regulations regarding euttlo inspection have destroyed a once picturesque feature of llfo on the prairies. The old cattle trails wore to the pralrioa what the LTiiml trunk lines of railway arc to the Atlantic states. They were the paths along which Iho wealth and ox- eltementof tli country were found. They reached for hundreds of miles over hill and valley , across rivers and through forests , from the sun-baked lliuioj of Texas to the northern feeding grounds and shipping points of Kansas . . - to the suinmcr pastures \Vyotning and Mon tana. Long chocolate colored strips of earth they , \oic , every vestige of griihs life trodden out by the hundreds of thousands of hoofs , and thnir ledges lined with the whitened bones of the un fortunate bovlnes whoso strength gnvo out on Iho journey and who were loft behind to perish. The cowboy still exists in the lurid literature of the \vost , and his name is assumed by modoi owuopunehors of the quiet farms , but his vivid reality is no more. Ho was once a 'igure ' renowned in pence and war , but ho has vanished , says the Chicago Horald. The chang ing kaloldoscoDO of piogresihas loft him behind , anil like thu knights errant of the days of chivalry ho is today alto gether an ideal personage. His name has lost no luster in the passing of the years. The real cowboy was far from being the gaudily dressed and graceful courtier of the wild west shows. Ho was by no means the gallant and tender hearted hero of storydom , but ho was daring and reckless , inured to all hard ships and appealed fatrongly to the western mind. LU'K OK A C'OVfllOY. The long summer feeding season was a tiresome and monotonous ono to the cowboy. Duy after day ho rode Ills bout tivound the feeding grounds whereon pastured thousands of head of long horned Texas cattlo. Through rain and shine ho was on duty , and , removed from all glimpse of civilization , with little erne no communication with the outside world , it is no wonder that when the annual "drive" came ho was hungry for excitement and thord surged up in his heart a wild and passionate desire to paint the universe a , brilliant carmine The preparing of the herd for the drive was : i delicate operation. First the thousands of cattl6 , scattered over scores of miles , must bo gathered to gether and the marketable animals "cut out , " ono by ono , and kpptby themselves until all was ready for the long journey. An occasional obstreperous brute would require heroin treatment , and many a tumble would the adventurous riders re ceive. To fall from tno horse is more dangerous than is realized , for the wild Texas cattle , while they have n whole- faomo respect for u man and horse com bined , show thorn no regard separately , and neither is safe from a direct and ferocious attack. Weeks were some times consumed in the "cutting out" pro cess , and it wu * only after much anxiety and hard work that the drive was com menced. Wusons , with provlsiors , tents , extra horses and cooks , went to make up the supplies , and nt last the caravan was under way. Of the trails connecting Kansas and Texas the best known and most traveled was the "Chisholm trail , " named after a semi-civilized Cherokee Indian who first traveled it. Ho followed a path of his own in /.ig-sag course across the Indian Territory , and striking the south line of Kansas no.it' the west line of the htato. Then there was the "old Shawnee - nee trail" which divided honors with the Chisholm. It loft the Red River , and striking duo north crossed the Simarron and Wash It n , then eastward to the Arkansas near Fort Gibson , near which is Dodge City. Back in the ' 70s the shipping point was Abilene , on the old Kansas Pacilic railroad , then just completed. The rlvor bottoms. for miles were covered with yards for the load ing of the immense herds that came up from Texas. With the building of the Atcluson , Topeka & Santa Fo railway the nearest point , Dodge City , was chosen , and it , until a year or two ago , rejoiced in Abilono's early title , "tho wickedest city in Kan sas. " WOUK ON THi : UNG THAU'S. Toward the north the herd startedIho animals , with a strange sense of system , taking their places in the ranks almost as regularly as soldiers. Day after day the same animals would be found at the front , walking with dlgnillcd and mas terful steps toward their destruction. Further buck , the herd , sometimes stretching out for three miles or oven live , would bo found other lessor com- mnndorsal.so in the same relative places from day to day. The cowboys rode as guards on either side nnd during part of the day turned thu drove aside that their charges might graze on the rich prario grass. There was little OfceUomont on the drive while the wcat qr was line , hut when the storms camojor for any reason a stampede was starigd there was no more arduous task than then presented itself. The moment a. stampede is im minent the cowboys dush'for tiio lo.iders. Over rock and sod , through crook and ravine , away they race an haul as Iho Hoot Texas ponies can earry them. Not on both sides of the lifl'rd do they go , but on ono , always endeavoring to ' wworvo the loaders in * q'po direction to the loft. Madly thoyjtphr along with them until faulllcionU , turn is made to ' insure the forming of a'otrelo as small a one as possible. Whim this has been done the hardest of thi > work has boon completed. The cowboys have nothing to do hut sit still and lot the terrllled brutes rush by in their fury until they have tired themselves completely out nnd come to a standstill. 1 -haps by the tlmo this has taken place the herd is miles from the original camp , and hundreds of cattle have been loft outside the ranks and must be hunted up and brought back. "Milling , " as this is called , is usually accompanied by munio. That muslo "hath power to soothe the savage heart" of a long-horned Texas steer seems almost incredible , yet the cowboys ( if the old daVH found it oven so. When once the "null ' had been formed it mis of the utmost desirability that the motion bo stopped as soon as possible. To do this at once meant the saving of a largo number of cattle , as many of the wonkor OUCH would bo tramnled to death * by their stronger comrades. I'H.UIUi : MINSTKKU3. Singing ut tuo tons of their voices some old-time melody was the cowboys1 favorite method of accomplishing this. The cattle , agitated us they wore by fear , would become calm under the influence of the strains , and they would by dogrcos lessen their pace , until sud denly they would stop and go to picking the trampled grass ns if nothing had happened. To heat * the rough cowboys slug in a dark and stormy night as they attempted to quiet a snorting , racing herd was an experience of a lifetime. They might start In with that then popular melody : The yellow star of Texas Heats the 13olios of Tennessee. Next , perhaps , would coino a moro tender strain nnd Kiln Roe would ring out in rude , uncultured but hearty music : Oh , Ella Kco , so html and true , In Iho little cliuri'h-vard lies ; Her jiravo Is blight with Jroos of dew , IJut brighter were her eyes. Then carry mo hack to Tcnnr see Tlioro's where I lo.'e to bo , Among the llelds of yellow corn 'Way down in Tennessee. Hut when popular melodies h ad been tried and negro songs proved tame their hearts went back to the boyhood days. They picked up once moro the hymns th' y learned around their mother's klieo and sang them with all the lusty vigor of their manhood. It was proverbial among the cowboys that no ono In their profession could got along without swearing , and most of thorn practiced what they preached regularly and vigor ously. Yet with lips hardly dry from the tempestuous oaths they would take up the old ( 'amp-mooting hymns , and roll them out with as much earnestness as hey were over breathed about the 'anxious seat" back in Iho groves of the oast. Hut last of all there never failed to como the ono song thus ap pealed most strongly to their hearts. It was the song that drove awnv the pres ent and carried oich wide-halted and he-spurred rider back to boyhood home , now perhaps broken and awaiting them do longer. When all others had been tried , when perhaps there was no moro need of plTo"t , this song would como. Ono strong-lunged loader would start it , and ono after another of his comrades Would take up the melody until , for a mile or more , through the night would bo going up from the circle of herders : Home , homo , sweet , sweet home , There's no place like homo ; there's no place like home. THKIIt WAYS IN' TIIU SUri'LUM UNTS. Arrived at the shipping station and naid olT for his work the cowboy enters upon the one gala time of the year. For a couple of weeks ho patroni/.cs saloons , dance halls and gambling houses to his heart's content. As there are < i good many of him in town at the same time it is easy to see how they can make considerable - sidorablo noise and disturbance. Kil lings were frequent in the old days , and the marshals of the towns held their lives in their hands. "Wild Bill , " as W. V. Ilickok was known , was the only marshal Abilene over had in these days who could control the cowboys. It is i o- latcd that upon his taking the olllco ho was determined to awe the unruly element into subjection. Walking down the street the first night ho saw a row going on in a saloon. Stepping in ho drew his revolver and put a ball throuirh the ringleader. The disturbance ceased , but the man's friontis were angry. The next morning Ilickok came down town , and upon entering .1 otoro saw two men across the street who ho know intended to shoot him. Quick as lightning ho turned , and , with u revolver in each hand , fired two almost simultaneous shots , killing them both. His preced ence was established and ho ruled the town with an iron hand for two years there after. The cowboy was a gallant in his way. During his stay in town ho expended a largo proportion of his wages on the demi-monde of the place , and carried back with him to his lonely ranch lifo memories of roistering times that ho had with the girls. To bo sure , there were many so-called cowboys who woi'o educated , cultured young fellows trying to get a start in the world , and their conduct was dilToiont , but the majority of the men were of the roughest chios , many being of Mexican blood. CUPID AND TIIU COWIIOY. The love all'airs of the cowboys would make many interesting chapters. Ono that is particularly gruesome is told of a cowboy named L'Hint. ' While north ho had mot and fallen in love with a prolty waitress at the hotel , and before lie returned - turned to the ranch had won from her a promise to marry him on his next trip. Ho wont back to the ranch , bidding her a fond good-bye , and through the next ton months saved and dreamed , anxious for the meeting between himself and his sweetheart. Ho could hardly wait for the slow progress of the herd over the pralries.and * ! . kept . . always 11. ! near _ the _ _ ! _ _ loaders T. _ J 1 . . . In order to fjet to llio town early. In tno inpiinwhile , another lover hart' won his inihtresses' favor , and had , too , been adopted. Ono uftornoon in the early full the two wont riding in a earrin o out botith of the city. They were along the trail , when , as they came over a hlulT , they found themselves near the head of u largo herd of cattle. Lover No. 1 was before thorn , and his qtilul : and longing eyes grasped the situation in an instant. "Unloosing the long rnw- hide lariat whiuh hung on Ills saddlo- horn , ho dashed the spurs into hib jiony and rode for the carriage. The girl shrieked aa she recognized him , and the now lover lashed his team to escape. But to no purpose. The eurlirg line of rope wont reaching out certainly and with nlmost lifelike intelligence. It settled around Iho nook of the driver , and ns the first lover had turned hib pony in another direction the man shot out of the carriage and was dragged over the sod helplessly and roughly. On and on the avenger bpurred his horbo. the body bobbing over the sod at the end of the lariat behind. Soon they were out of sight behind a knoll , and the rider was never been again by his companions. The now Invert ! body was found n mlloaway dead , a broken lariat still attached to its neck. The murderer was afterward heard of In the mines of Colorado , where ho was known ab the most reckless nnd hardened character that had boon hoon for many a day. His experience hnd calloused his heart , THI : cowitov is UONK. But the typical cowboy is boon no more , and hU place ih taken by barbwire - wire fences and railroads The towns wliero he ouco reamed during his out- ingh have buttled hack into qulut cities , noted not for their disrogaul for law , but for their love of It Hero and there yet remains an old tumble-down frame building , which thn old-timers will toll you was the houdqimrtorti of the lil Uono or Paso Del Mar saloon. The number of murders committed in Us rooms will ho i elated , and perhaps some btalnod ho.mls or wails can bo bhnwn to lull of the bloody deeds thorn committed.
