There was a suffocating rush at Bcnnlson
Ilros. last night , and It seemed that half
of the ladles of Council Bluffs were there.
The special handkerchief sale was the at
traction. Some of the ladles who did not
read the advertisement carefully came with
the Impression that they were to be given a
handkerchief free , reading only the opening
lines , overlooking the announcement that
60 and 35c handkerchiefs would bo sold
at one price of 9c during the evening. It
was a very substantial present that Bennt-
ions' gave to the ladles the difference be
tween the cost and the few cents asked for
the articles. The moral Is : Read adver
tisements carefully.

On the 9th of last month Mr. Trephagcn
came to Council Illuffs , along with Dr.
Ilerry's patent medicine1 troupe , and for
three weeks took part every afternoon and
evening In the doctor's street concerts. One
day he asked a friend of his where he could
find some one who would play accompaniments
for him to practice his songs. The friend told
him of Miss Garner , who Is nn acompllshcd
pianist , and Introduced him to her at her
home. The next two weeks the young people
ple were together almost constantly , for the
SOUKS were hard and took a great deal of
practice. Then the doctor left for Atlantic ,
taking his troupe- with him.
When Miss Garner left homo she went to
Atlantic , where she was met by Mr. Trephn-
eon. who hnd a license and a parson ready
and they were married last Thursday. They
came back here Sunday morning , and that
was the first time Mrs. Garner knew what
had happened , She had noticed from the ac
tions of her daughter and the young man
that It was a clear case of love at first sight ,
but she had no Idea the climax vas to conic
so soon until it was all over and she saw the
result standing before her.
The bride Is the daughter of the late Wil
liam Garner , one of the pioneeis of Potta-
waltamlo rounty , and who nt the time of
his death was one of the wealthiest farmer ) ?
In the county. Not long ago her mother
deeded her a 300-acro farm Just east of the
city , BO that the newly married couple will
not embark on their matrimonial career pen
niless by any means. Mr. Trephagen has a
contract with Dr. IJerry which will keep
him on the road until September. Ho left
for Atlantic yesterday noon and will stay
on the road until his contract expires , when
ho will return here and take his bride to a
homo he has In San Jose , Cal. , probably tak
ing Mrs. Garner there also. Mrs. Trephagcn
expects to join her husband In Atlantic next
Thursday for a few days' visit.

The Grand hotel will open between now
nnd September 15 , with E. F. Clark at the
head. So much' Is assured. Repairs to hc
amount of $1,000 arc to be made by the local
company , after which Mr. Clark will take
Immediate possession. He will furnish the
hotel throughout at a cost of not less than
$12,000 , and the company has raised an extra
$2,000 as n guaranty against loss for the
first year. In case It Is not needed It ts to
be returned to the subscribers. In addition
to all this there Is $30.000 subscribed as
stock to the now company , which Is to pur
chase the hotel. No more than this \\lll bo
needed for fhe years , the rest of the $90,000
belnc carried as a long-time loan.
General G. M. Dodge has been back of the
enterprise from the very start. At the time
of the Grand Army encampment he passed
the hotel and remarked upon the shame of
having a building like that closed. "There's
no use talking , " said he , "that hotel must
be opened by the 1st of October , when the
Army of the Tennessee meets here. " That
he meant what he said was sufficiently
shown by the fact that his name was the
first to go down on the subscription Hat ,
with the sum of $5,000 written opposite to It.
The Omaha & Council Bluffs Bridge company
also signed $5,000. The remainder of the
subscriptions were for amounts from $1,000

Created a feeone.
Mr. and Mrs. S. Recder were the names
given by a couple who created a pleasant
diversion for passersby on Broadway , near
the corner of Pearl street , last evening
about 10:30 : o'clock. They had been drinking
nt a saloon and the man was pretty well
loaded. He was Induced to get Into his
buggy by Officer Claar , but after they had
driven a block they turned around and came
back. Claar Intercepted them ns they were
going up Broadway and asked them If they
were going home. An altercation ensued , In
the course of which the woman became de
cidedly demonstrative. City Clerk Zurmueh-
len tried to pacify her , but she applied
several epithets to him In a tone of voice
that shook the neighboring buildings and
told him to go and mind his own business.
Claar finally put them both under arrest ,
whereupon the woman jumped from the
buggy and started on a run down street.
Claar ordered one of the bystanders to run
after her , which he did. The rig was put up
at a livery stable and both the map and the
woman were taken to the city Jail. The
woman became hysterical at the Jail office
and used her lungs and tongue In a manner

trial In police court this morning on the
charge of disturbing the peace.

I.awjers .Against Lawyers.
An effort Is being made to get up a big
crowd to go over to Omaha next Thursday
to witness the game of ball between the law
yers of this city and Omaha. Those going
from this sldo ot the river will take the
cable line at Tenth street In Omaha , which
goes past the Young Men's Christian , associa
tion ball park , where the game will bo played.
The two clubs are evenly matched , and a
great game is looked for. Askwlth has been
toughening his muscle for several days past
by sweeping his ofllco out each morning and
Schurz Is putting liniment on his cheek each
night before going to bed to reduce the
swelling so that an ordinary sized bird cage
will go on over It. These two will bo the
pitcher and catcher for the Bluffltcs , and the
rest of the players are as follows : First

Wright ; third base , W. II. Schurz ; short
stop , D. E. Stuart ; left Held , Frank P.
Wright ; center field , C. C. Hosklns ; right

bo charged at the gate. Game will be called
at .1 o'clock. The Council Bluffs team has

this morning filed deeds of assignment foi
the benefit of creditors. Ex-Postmaster P.
I ) . Nofslngcr Is named as assignee. The
assets arc placed at $321,250 and the liabili
ties nt $197,283.
Considerable , business was done In New
England , where the heaviest losers arc
located , and It Is said many parties In the
cast were caught for big amounts.
The company was organized In 1SS3 with
a paid-up capital of $100,000 and dealt prin
cipally In bonds. The capital stock was
subsequently raised up Into the hundreds
of thousands , but before the company's fail
ure was reduced , at that time being $200,000.
Dad loans and stringent times are said to
have caused the collapse.
The company loaned heavily here on real
estate and then sold the loans In the cast ,
after guaranteeing them. When the rates
became due the makers could not pay them
and the holder of the notes fell bnck on the
Gossard company. Paying out cash on
these notes and then foreclosing upon them ,
getting In return real estate greatly Im
paired In value , and In turn exchanging
this In canceling the company's Indebted
ness caused the failure. The holdeis of
these notes are scattered all over the east ,
numbering Into the hundreds , and they ara
caught In various sums ranging from $1,000
to $50 000 or so. Names are unobtainable
at this time. To a reporter Mr. Gossan !
stated It was too early to say whether the
company would be able to resume business.
Ho gave the Impression , no\\cver , that the
affairs of the company would be wound up
us soon as possible and the firm go out of
business altogether. lie would not say
whether the assets would cover the liabil
ities. They were composed principally of
Impaired Kansas City realty and nil de
pended upon their ability to dispose of this
property. He placed the liabilities at $250.-

WASHINGTON , Aug. C. ( Special Telegram
to The Bee. ) There was considerable of a
sensation nt the capital today over the pub
lication In eastern papers of a story con
cerning Congressman McKelghan , Mrs.
Ella Morris of this city and Frank T. Hall
of Beatrice. It appears that Mrs. Morris
lived on very friendly terms with the Mc
Kelghan family for several years. She sub
sequently rented rooms on Indiana avenue ,
where she received visits from Hall. The
latter was known to be at the same time
circulating stories which were complimen
tary neither to Mr. McKelghan nor Mrs.
Morris. The congressman employed a pri
vate detective , who hud Hall arrested for
the alleged theft of a comb , a brush and n
towel from the senate store room. Hall was
formerly an employe of the senate. He
has been released and will not bo prosecuted.
The entire affair Is discreditable to all the
parties concerned and is enough to make
respectable Nebraskans blush with shame.

completed , and the time previous to that
will now be occupied In completing the
decorations for the event , which will bo
very elaborate. The decorations at the
state capitol building will be most elegant
unique and profits ; . Every one of the Iowa
regiments has been cared for In the way
of banner and motto. Iowa presented four
batteries of artillery , nine regiments of
cavalry and forty-eight of Infantry to defend -
fend her country's flag. Besides the above
she equlppjd nnd put the Sixtieth United
States colored volunteer Infantry Into the
field , and each ot the nbovo has a place

the office until August 13 In order to allow

no appointments of subordinates and no
names have bepn mentioned for assistant

The republicans are making much capital
out of Colonel Elbock's exposure of the
methods by which he was defeated , thou
sands of copies being clitUlatcd among the
Germans who have voted for the deniuor.itIc
