The I'ourth nt I'alriuoiint. Falrmount park was the objective point for the thousands from early In the day until late In the afternoon. Besides the special attractions that had been provided there .Was a general disposition manifested to take ad van ( ago of the day for an outing In the . woods , and hundreds of picnic parties , from the ordinary family size up to dimensions Including whole neighborhoods , were scat tered all over the grounds. Lunch baskets and spreads wore everywhere. The motor Company up to 4 o'clock had carried be tween 4,000 and 6,000 people Into the park , fend almost as many more found other means f reaching It. The program of exercises was carried out successfully and very much to the enjoyment Cf the crowd. Among the bands was the Bevcnth Ward Military band of Omaha. At 10 o'clock Rev. J. E. Simpson offered prayer , and at Its conclusion the entire au- ytlenco joined In singing "America" with patriotic fervor and some discords. Ad- Cresses were made by Prof. W. S. Prouty , Rev. T. W. Williams and Father Smythe. ( The Declaration ot Independence was read by Prof. Paulson. At noon all those who had not provided themselves with a basket .dinner gathered around the locality where a big ox had been toasted to a turn and pnjoyed an old-fash ioned barbecue. The afternoon was devoted to games and races. There was a fat man's race , a lean fnan'a race , a short and tall man's race and A woman's race , with a few Juvenile races thrown In for good measure. Those who dis tinguished themselves most In their athletic achievements were Orvlllo Brown , who won the lean man's purse , and Miss Grace Lamb , who won the woman's championship for a 100 yards straightaway dash against a Held t hot favorites. Bul few accidents occurred during the Yday. Ono of the firemen In the Upper , . , Broadway hose house conceived a plan of ' accentuating the boom ef a cannon fire cracker by placing It under a cracker box and firing it. A surgeon cut the largest piece left of the box from the young man's leg. At a blacksmith shop on Lower Broaway crowd of men and boys were engaged In firing anvils , and ono of the men evolved another original plan for making the thing ihoot louder. Ho placed an Iron ring around the hole where the powder was placed and filled the space with more powder , This , K VO about a double charge. The other anvil was put on top and the charge fired. The only piece of the ring that has been heard of wan found sticking In the calf of the man's leg who fired the bomb. L. Bank , a street fireworks seller on Broadway , had a lltle fun with his stock after a boy dropped a firecracker In Us midst. Half a dozen cannon firecrackers went off with prompt unanimity , accom panied by a number of skyrockets and roman candles , while the remainder of the stock was distributed over the street.

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Traveling Won Put In a Pleasant Day at Manawa , FAT MEN'S ' RUNNING RECORD BROKEN i Day of Sport Wound Up by Dancing , fitrtmmliijt nnil Halting M ny Krpt Awny lif the It.lll- ronil Strike. The traveling trcn owned L.ilic Mannwa body nnd xoiil yesterday and observed the country's noted day In a manner that would have astonished George Wellington' * ghost If It had been Rented on the plnnaclo of ono of the pavilion towers. Special train * , loaded down , carried the traveling men to the Inko until about 400 men , women and children wcro at Grand Plaza. During the day fully twlco nn tunny outsiders arrived , but all were for the time being traveling men In sentiment , even though they hail never taken an order or spun n yarn. The little blue badge- gave free rides on the motor nnd free entrance to the Grand Plaza , and once Inside , all the varied attractions were Riven over to the commercial pilgrims anil their friends. The orchestra played Its choleent music. The rain of the night before cooled oft the air and washed the lawn , and the place never looked prettier. The picnicker ! nil agreed that the weather furnished by the committee on weather , consisting' of Joe Joncj. J. H. 1'cregoy and M. F. Hohrcr , could not have been Improved on. U011RRU WELCOMES THR PILGRIMS. After arriving at the Grand I'laza the company assembled at the pavilion and was tendered a welcome by ex-Mayor M. F. Hohrcr. "The traveling men and falcswomon. " ho said , "llnd a market for the product of the world , and such being the casu they richly deserve their share of the best things on earth. The beautiful Lakn Manawa , of deep , clear water , abundantly supplied with grime nnd fish and bounded by sandy beaches which equal those of the Atlantic nnd Pacific oceans , W.IH dlscovcied nnd appropriated to Its present use about the time that the Order of Commercial Pilgrims of America began to dawn upon the minds of Its found ers , and we , realizing the fact that every Commercial Pilgrim who has traveled the burning sands of the desert from ono oasis to the other , alwrfys appreciates a good drink of water , decided that a pilgrimage to this spot should appropriately celebrate the llSth Independence day of the United States. States.Ve " \Ve have not been unmindful of the fact that wo are honortfd by the presence of traveling men who are BOW nearlng their three score and ten years , and to them the Grand Plaza park , which commands a full view of every boat , sailing vessel nnd steamer , will be for the time being a haven of rest. " lie then stated that the ride to Manhat tan beach on the good steamer "M. F. Hohrcr" which had been contemplated had to be abandoned on account of the Injury to the boat In the recent storm. He took occasslon to call attention to the advantages of Council Bluffs as a place to live or to do business In Its six parks , containing 69G acres. Its twenty-two miles of paved streets , Its twenty miles of street car lines , and not least , Its Union Driving park , whose success Is In a measure Indicated by the fact of the value of shirrs of stock having risen from $1,500 to $ G,000 in the past four yeare. The welcoming address wSs greeted with round ! ; of applause , nnd then A. W. Johnson read the Declaration f Independence. After music by the band H. S. nilnn made a very happy address on "Some of the Dangers that Threaten Our Government and Its Institu tions. " DISPOSED OF TUB LUNCH. But after nil , the traveling men had not come together to hear speeches altogether , nnd so they began enjoying themselves In other ways , and the first way they chose was by putting ' out of sight the fine luncheon that every one had brought with him. After dinner came the races nnd other contests of more or less skill. The fat men , each of whom weighed over 200 pounds , got out for a foot race , and H. S. Dllnn succeeded In bagging n fine silk umbrella by coming In first , and W. W. Lunger a pair of slippers as second prize. The lean men th-n showed their skill In sprinting , and W. A. Stevenson won first prize , n silk umbrella , and Paul Eggers , the second , n pair of slippers. C. L. Mammlll will wheel his coal In this winter In his own wheelbarrow , as a reward for dl.tnnclnE all competitors In the wheel barrow race , nnd M. F. Hohrer , who made second time , will have a box of cigars for his friends to smoke. The ladles then came to the front and tried to threw n bate ball without hitting the ground. Xany of them succeeded , the sphere knocking the cuticle off the heads of those who rashly stood anywhere but In the rear when It struck the clr. Mrs. L. W. Garrutte of Lincoln won first prize , a hand- painted fan , nnd Mrs. D. Rlsley of Omaha won second , a china fruit plate. After the sports the travelers put In their time swimming , boating , loafing and eating , finally winding up the day' * pleasures with dancing In the pavilion to the music cf the Grand Plaza orchestra , under the leadership of E. D. Patton. The affair was a most successful one all the way through. The attendance was large enough , but msny from outside towns who had intended coming were compelled to send word that on account of the railroad dis turbances' they were afraid to risk having to attend a picnic that might be a week long.

How he made his money 1 don't know , for It Is said that he could neither read nor write , but he had It all the same. "Well , I found the old boy down In his cellar , and was gratified to hear him say that ho could pay the bill nt once. 'I haven't that much cash with me , ' he said , 'but Just wait a minute. ' "He felt around as If looking1 for a piece of paper , nnd I was Just nbout to offer him some when his eyes lit upon u piece of board nbout eighteen Inches square. " 'Just the thlnir , ' be said , nnd with that he picked It up and made a lot of queer looking marks on It. " 'Tlu'ie , ' IIP said , 'take- that to my bank ers , and It will be all right. ' "I protested , but he Insisted , and finally I did ns he said. 1 huiulcd the piece of plank dubiously enough , I can tell you , to the paying teller , but what was my relief when he merely smiled , studied the hieroglyphics a moment , and handed me $170. Then lip laid the board upon n shelf , and that was nil there wns to It. It transpired that the old man hnd a system of signs , nil his own. which his bankers had agreed to re spect. All the same , that bank check seemed curious even to them , and It Is hanging up In the bank now. " Struck Him IVIth fliin Ilarrol. Last night Sam Goldsmith was celebrating the Fourth In front of his father's saloon at Ninth street and Capitol avenue by shooting with a shotgun at the glass Insulators on the telephone and telegraph lines running past the place. Sam was swinging the gun around In a careless manner when James Grimes , a Missouri Pacific brakeman , remonstrated , saying that ho was liable to shoot some one. Sam replied by striking the railroad man across the head with the barrel of the gun , cutting n three-Inch gash to thoi bona over the left eye. Grimes' wound was 'dressed by Dr. Towne , but the Injured man refused to file n complaint against his assailant , as he had to go out early this morning on his train. _ _ Slio Wan Nearly Square.

Ncxl came Chief Mar shal Iloctor nnd his aides ; then the Omaha guards and the Thurston rifles , both execut ing military maneuvers ns they passed. The Uniform Rank , Knights of Pythias , turned out In full number * fro this city , Omaha and Council Uluffs , under the command of Messrs. Hedges and Hatcher. The Hibern ian Knights made a gala showing , with their brilliant uniforms , and wcro cheered as they passed by their friends. Colonel T. F. El liott turned out with 100 old soldiers and sailors , headed by a drum corps front the local post. The Scottish society from Omaha , with a band of bagpipers , wore a feature ot the parade. A beautiful llont rep resented all the states and was occupied by young girls dressed In wjillo.

Citizens In carriages and on foot followed the parade to the park , where many en joyed an old fashioned picnic. At Syndicate park Mayor Johnston was master of ceremonies. After the band played n national air the mayor made an nd- drcss of welcome nnd was followed by Rev. R. L. Wheeler. The quartet'Jtif male vocal ists then sang and the oration of , the day was delivered by A. S. Churchill of Omaha. When It was announce * ! the races would take place on Twenty-fourth street near N the big crowd centered In that locality.

The fat man's race was enjoyed by every one , as the contestants were all well known South Omaha men. City Treasurer Hector won with Councilman Dulla a close second. The hose race contest taken part In by the stock yards team , the Cudahy team and the Hammond team was quite exciting. This was the last race of the day and considerable money changed hands on the result. The time of the different teams for 100 yards was as follows : Cudahy te.un , 3G % ; stock yards team , Z6Vt\ \ Hammond team , 39 % . . All the teams were slow at the coupling and the hose leaked for each of them. At a late hour last night the Judges had not given their decision on the contest. llln Ttirimt tut. Samuel J.
