POLICE MADE A SPURT YESTERDAY Mnrslml Not Mkrly to OHo Cp the Contest , lltiuovcr , Until the \Vlro In flenched .Snloon Men Unto No Chance to Win. Chief of Police Scanlan issued an order yesterday that all screens should bo re moved from the doors and windows of sa loons In accordance with the new liquor law , nnd the order goes Into effect at once. This U tin latest move In what mire c'.osc'y rercn.bl.s an artistic game of poker than anything else. The marshal's nlllce Is hold I UK one hand and the chief and his department the other , while the poor fellows who nre en gaged in handing out the drinks over the bar to the thirsty multitudes are the table on wh'eli each one enthusiastically brings down his list occasionally. The maruhal made the first move when he raided a gambling house the other evening. The next day the chief ordered all wine rooms closed. The mar shal came back at him with an order for all poker rcoma , public and private , In the city to bo closed up. Now the chief goes him one better with an order doing away with screens , so that hereafter when any one wishes to admire the frescoing un the saloon ceilings through the bottom of a. plate glass schooner ho will have to take the public Into his confidence. The conflict now being waged between the two department ! ) of the elty government Is becoming decidedly InterestIng - Ing , and the new mulct law glvcj ample opportunity for them to ring In a good many changes before the list of possibilities Is exhausted. It111 therefore be some time , most likely , before cither party has to "call" the other and admit that he Isorsted In the law and morality fracas. It Is stated that the next move of the city marshal will be to order the saloons to clo-c at 11 o'clock at night and on Sundays. After the present waflaro has been completed and the saloon men have had their noses sufficiently ground , It will be comforting for the official whose play It Is to remember that it Is always possible for htm to promote the Interests of good morals by ordering the park commis sioners to entroMscr the little boys who have been about to take a plunge bath In the llay- Hs park basin for the last { our ycara. 1'rco inji > ymciit nt Mananru. Since the change In the arrangements at Lake Manawa has been made , whereby an admission fee Is charged Into the grounds of Mr. Heed , the Impression has gone abroad that Mr. Reid's grounds compose all the frontage on the cast side of the lake , and that patrons of Lake Manawa , to enjoy the advantages and attractions of this beautiful resort , arc compelled to contribute 10 cents to get to the water front. The fact , however - over , Is that Mr. Reed owns or controls only a very small po'rtlon of the lake frontage , something like COO feet , and his enclosure occupies only a block and a half of ground , us laid out and platted In the town of Man- Mr. D. Marks Is the owner of nearly a mile of lake frontage east of the pavilion , on which the Manhattan Beach Improvement company has erected a dock , In close prox imity to the Reed enclosure , and run a line of steamboats to nnd from their beach , di rectly opposite. IJonts make ten-minute trips , and the fare , slnco the Manhattan Beach Improvement company obtained con trol of the boats , has been reduced to 5 cents each way , making the boat ride 10 cents for the round trip. The Manhattan Bench Im provement company's grounds comprise eighty acres of.land and have a lake front age of one-half mile , covered the en tire distance with a natural sandy beach , the only natural beach In the west. There nro several beautiful groves on their land , which afford picnickers and campers n delightful place for enjoying1 themselves. The water toboggan slides " , which have proved a sourceof much"amusement In sea sons past , will bo In operation this season , and all free of charge. No admission fee charged. The grounds and groves nro free to the public , and patrons of the lake are Invited to take advantage of these privi leges nnd have a good time. Louie Rcnard has secured the dock pa vilion on the beach and fitted up a first- class restaurant In It. Short order meals will bo served at all hours at reasonable prices. Any one can get n good meal for thirty-five cents , nnd have It well served. The management Intends to run the place the same as heretofore , strictly first-class In every respect , nnd give the public amusement - , ment at little cost. I'liwncil His Pension I'npers. Claus Thompson , who has recently been refused permission to run a saloon across the street from the Broadway Methodist church , had another stroke of bad luck yes terday as the result of a rather unique ar rangement he Is claimed to have had with William Wright , an old soldier , living in this city. Wright has a pension , nnd ho also has an abnormally developed thirst. Fearing that the time might come wl.en ho would not have money enough to keep the alcoholic commissary tilled , ho put up his pension certificate each month with Thompson , there being on understanding be tween them that the saloon keeper was to furnish him three drinks of his favrrlte beverage each day throughout the i.uailcr. This , it Is said , was practiced regnlaily by the saloon keeper and his customer , until a short time ago the United elates authori ties got wind of the proceedings. Hy tht government statutes It Is made n si'rlotu offense for any ono to take pension i npora as security for liquor bills , and an informa tion was filed betoro Cleric Steadm.m il the federal court , upon the strength of which Thompson was arrested Into ycHtcrday nfter- noon. Ho gave bonds for his appearance next Monday for a preliminary hearing. On Thursday , June 14 , the Apollo club of Omaha , assisted by Mr. F. II.

Another Kirnlng I > o\otcil to Mm Qucntlou < it Having u Itonil to .Mittmwn. The city council held n special meeting last evening for the purpose of considering the Munnwa motor franchise nnd other Items of importance. Mayor Cleaver occupied the chair and nil the nldermen were pre.ent In undress un term. The bill of H. I' . Nlles for $24 for n dog Hint became n member of the poundmastcr's family was not allowed. In regard to the request of the wholesale liquor dealers to be exempt from the pay ment of the monthly tax of $27.10 required from the salcon keepers by the city , the city attorney gave It as his opinion that the dls- tlnctlon could be made providing the , ordin ance be first amended. The matter waa re ferred to the council , lo bo considered at n meeting this evening. A protest was read from twenty property owners on South Sixth street against allow ing the Council Bluffs & Like Manawa Electric Motor company the right to lay Its tracks on that street. It stated that the line would not be used more than four months In the year , and would therefore destroy Sixth street as a driveway without furnl'hlng better transportation for the people ple living there. On motion of Alderman Browlck the protest was placed on file. 12. H. Odell , on behalf of the company , stated that ho had anticipated this action on the part of the citizens , and asked per mission to amend the proposed charter , so ns to take the line on Sixth street only from Sixteenth avenue to nightcenth avenue , cast on Eighteenth avenue to Fourth street , and south on Fourth street to the city limits. James McCnbc was granted permission to make some remarks on the subject of grantIng - Ing the charter , and proceeded to brand the new company as merely the old Council Bluffs & Omaha Bridge company In a now face. In view of the long , troublesome and expensive litigation the city had been com pelled to undergo with the brldga company , he thought the city should refuse to grant It any more privileges. Ho suggested sev eral changes to bo made In the ordinance : That the company bo required to lay Its tracks at the established grade , and un streets where the grade Is not established to conform to the surface of the street or at such nn elevation ns the council may direct ; that It bo required to furnish a 5-cent fare from any part of Council Bluffs to Manawa at least during the last part of the life of the charter ; nnd that some adequate pen alty bo prescribed for the violation of any of the terms of the charter. Dr. Isadoro Gluck , one of the Incorpor- ntors of the company , made a few remarks In which he denied emphatically that the new company had the slightest connection with the old. His company expected to build a road at an expense of $15,000 , und to get power from the Bridge company , so long as such an arrangement could be made satisfactorily. Mr. Odell called Mr. McCabo's attention to the fact that the Bridge company already had a charter on all the streets and alleys cf the city , and would not be apt to come In and ask for n new charter If It had any connec tion with the present scheme. He had been trying for two years to Induce the Bridge company to extend Its line to Manawa , and had failed , and this led to the organization of the now company. Mayor Cleaver said he. thought the com pany seemed Inclined to do the fair thing , and If Council Bluffs ever expected to pro gress It must do so by meeting such enter prises half way. The matter was finally referred to the- committee of the whole , to meet this morn ing nt 9 o'clock with the representatives of the company to put the charter in shape that would be satisfactory to all. E. J. Abbott presented the council with a request from the committee on the Grand Army encampment that the city would tnke some nctlon toward seeing that suitable decorations were arranged next week. The council appointed Itself n committee to look after the matter , and some action will most likely bo taken this evening. GIVEN THIUK SHCEl'SKINS. Fifty-Two Young 1'cople Take the First Degree on Their Wuy to nn Education. The stage at Dohnny's opera house never presented n fnlrer picture than last evening , when It held the class of 'fl4 of the Council Bluffs High school. Fifty-two young people ple , clad In gala costume , particularly when two-thirds of the number are young ladles , ought to bo enough to make any platform fascinating , but the llorlst and decorator In addition had done their work so skillfully that the whole was wrought Into a charmIng - Ing scene which will always bo remembered with feelings of pleasure , or at least until a year from now , when the class of ' 95 has had Its chance to throw all Its predecessors Into the background. The largo audience room was packed to the utmost. Every seat in the whole house was occupied , extra chairs were brought In and still a hundred or so had to stand. The warmth of the evening brought the poor ventilation of the house Into bold relief , and fans only created a warm breeze. Notwith standing all this the audience listened with the deepest Interest to the words of wisdom that fell from the lips of the youthful grad uates , and fond fathers , mothers and friends were proud of them. The following program will glvo nn Idea of whnt the nudlenco was given In the way of entertainment : HIcu school orchestra. American cadet march ; oration , "Defect In Modern Civili zation , " Hosa Drake ; oration , "The Master of Dialect Poetry , " Llllle Chcrnlss ; oration , "Accepting the Verldct , " Henry J.

The literary parts of the program were so uniformly good that It would be hard to pick out the best. If nny of the speakers de served special mention , however , It would ba Clarence Capell , Miss McKenzle , Miss Boesche , Mr. Sayles and Mr. Green. The musical portions of the program also were very good , the S. Y. B , quartet acquitting themselves nobly , and the High school or chestra , under the direction of Miss Claire Chamberlain , playing several selections In a most excellent manner. U was considerably after 11 o'clock when the curtain was rung down fop the last time , but In spite of the lateness of the hour and the many disad vantages under which the audience labored , the exercises were voted a great success.

ALL HARMONY AT LINCOLN ( Continued trom First Page. ) Holt ; it. M. Grimes , Lincoln ; Uenjamln Qoodcll , buffalo. The election of officers proved n nUnnnt diversion to tha tired delegates. The names of Frank M. Collins of Lincoln and II. H. Koblmton of Omaha were placed In com petition for president , nnd the roll call com menced. When Stantnn county \.as reached Collins had 1,317 votes , while his competitor had 683. At this Juncture .Mr. Robinson withdrew , nnd Collins \\ne elected liy nccla- matlon. He responded to calls In a five- minute speech , which was cheered to the echo. The convention then magnlmously ottered to make Robinson secretary , but he declined , and nominated Major Whceltr ut Omaha. The major was not ambitious , and In turn nominated II. M. Warrlns , who was elected by acclamation. C. P. McNIsh of Wlsncr nnd R. d. Brown of U-'atrlio were selected as first and second vice presidents respectively. Chairman Thurston of the committee on resolutions then presented llio folio .vlng plat form , which was unanimously itnd enthuslas- tlcally adopted : PLATFORM OF TUB CONVENTION. The Republic-nil league of the state of Nebraska , In iinmiul convention nssembled , recognizing the light of the forthcoming republican state convention to frame nml adopt a platform for the republicans of Nebraska , hereby disclaims nny purpose to usurp the powers or functions of Hint con vention or to forestall Its legitimate party action. As u representative assemblage of Ne braska republicans we declare our alle giance lo the platform of pilnclples adopted by the republican national convention of We believe the republican party of the United Slates possesses the true genius of American statesmanship , nnd can T > e de pended upon at nil times nnd In every emergency to formulate and enact such legislation as will best promote the In terests and secure the piosperlty of the American people. We believe In the Amcrcan doctrine of protection and favor such tariff legislation ns will foster and encourage American IndustilCH , protect American producers , maintain the dignity of American manhood , proxlde employment for the unemployed nnd bring comfort and happiness to the American homes. \Ve Insist that the tariff laws of the 1'nlted States shall protect the American farm , the Ameilcan mine and the American factory from the unjustifiable and degrad ing competition of foreign pauper labor. Wo favor the maintenance of the broad doctrine of reciprocity , left us ti beiltnge by that best beloved American statesman , James G. Blnlne. AVe belelve that the bone of labor lies In the success of the1 republican party and the predominance of the republican prin ciples , nnd , believing this , we extend an earnest Invitation to all artl.sans , mechan ics , skilled and unskilled httmreis , to join our Republican league and more closely Identify themselves with the party whose greatest mission Is their protection and elevation. We believe In the protection and purity of the American ballot box and demand the fullest rocoirnltlon of equal rights In the exercise of the pilvlleges of American citizenship. , We favor a pension policy generous nnd Just to the surviving union veterans and the widows and orphans of tlielr dead comrades. We welcome to our shores.all God-fear law-abiding , labor-seek- ing , liberty-loving , - Intr men , but we Insist upon the enact ment of such legislation ns will prevent the Immigration of the vicious and crim inal classes of laborers under contract or of paupers and anarchists. We arraign the democratic party of the United States for Its treason to American Interests ; for Its disgraceful Hawaiian pol icy : for the repeal of the federal election law , consummating the conspiracy to de prive the colored man of the south of the protection afforded In the exercise of his constitutional rights ; for the Insult und Injustice of Its pension bureau to union soldiers nnd sallois ; for Its proposed free trade legislation , the fear of which has al ready paralyzed American Industries , les sened the opportunities of American labor , destroyed the maiket for the producers of American factories nnd set thousands of men , hopeless nnd helpless , to wander up and down the land , nnd for Its Inability to successfully solve any of the problems of piogresslve , popular government. We adopt the declaration of the last na tional convention that "the American people ple favor bimetallism nnd the republican party demands the use of both gold and silver ns standard money. " And -we submit that further or inore- specific declaration on this subject shpuld bq left to' the- elected representatives of , the republican party in state convention assembled. We appeal to the loyalty nnd patriotism of every true- American to assist us In re turning that party to power , which will stand In the future as It has always stood In the past for the welfare and honor of our common country and the glory of Us unconquered ling. The convention then adjourned sine die. At 8 o'clock this evening n parade was formed , and the line of march to the M street pink taken up. The procession was helped along Its route by military bands from Uentrlce , York and Lincoln , and was witnessed by several thousand people. An Immense crowd gathered at the park and listened to addresses by Congressmen Melk- lelohn , Unlner and others. The convention has been a great success. Over 2.000 accredited delegates were pres ent , and It Is generally ngreel that re publican organization in Nebraska was never so thorough as nt the present time.
