Ul u IT. .
Some six weeks ago M. H. Frcy , the son
of a wealthy florist of Lincoln , Nob. , pur
chased the Interest of City Treasurer
Brooks Reed In the firm of McPhcrsoii &
Reed , florists. A few .Jays after locating
here he engaged rooms and board for him-
coif and wife at n boarding house on Wash
ington a\cnuc , where he was joined by a
handsome and stylish nppcnrlng young
woman whom he Introduced ns Mrs. Frey.
The couple seemed extremely affectionate
and nero seldom seen apart , the young
woman accompanying Frey to and from bis
plncu of business each day , and no one had
the slightest suspicion they were not what
they claimed to be.
Developments yesterday disclosed the fact
that the young woman Is Mrs. Luclnda
Vrnner , wife of D. E. Venner , n grocer of
Englc , Neb. Frcy and Mrs , Venner were
arrested at an early hour at their boarding
house on nn Information filed by Venner ,
charging them with adultery.
Venner arrived hero Monday night and
accompanied Detective Weir and Captain
Denny to the house where the arrest was
made. Frcy refused to admit the officers
and Weir was forecd to break In the door.
Frey drew a revolver but was disarmed be
fore he had time to use It. They were taken
to the city Jail and later committed to the
county jail In default of , bonds , which were
fixed by Justice Vlen at $500 each.
Frey expects to be able to furnish a bond ,
having telegraphed to his father In Lin
coln to furnish the security. He has also
secured the services of an attorney from
Lincoln , who arrived yesterday afternoon.
Frcy has a wife living In Lincoln but
claims to have been divorced. If such Is
no the case ho cannot , under the Iowa
statutes , be held upon the Information of
Venner , arid n telegram has been sent to
Mrs. Frey asking her to come here nnd
file an Information.
According to Venner's story , he has been
camping on Frey's trail ever since last
December. On December 16 Venner placed
his wife on board the train at Lincoln to
visit her relatives in Muscatlne , In. A few-
days later he heard she had gone oft with
another man. He finally traced her to

IIOAHU OF K11UCATION MEETING.
June 1 to lip
n Holiday on Account of
th .
At the special meeting of the Board of
Education last night It was decided to make
Wednesday , June 1. a holiday among the
city schools In order to afford the pupils nnd
teachers an opportunity to attend the open
ing of the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition. The
superintendent brought before the meeting
the matter of making an exhibit of the
school work at the exposition and made
several suggestions as to the matter in
which It should bo made If it was decided
to do so. Principal Hayden stated that the
pupils and teachers were ambitious that an
exhibit of the work In the different branches
at the High school bo made. After con
siderable discussion the matter was referred
to the committees on teachers and finance
together with the president of the board.
These committees are to ascertain the prob
able cost of making an exhibit. In which
building the exhibit can be made at the
least cost and to report to the board at an
early date.
On motion of Member Cooper It was de
cided to stop the printing of the annual
report ordered by the old board until the
new course of study Is arranged and then
only to print such portions as the board
may approve. The contract for printing the
report was let by the old board to a local
firm. Member Cooper , In defense of his po
sition , stated that ho did not believe the
law contemplated boards of education printIng -
Ing annual reports at a big expense to the
taxpayers. Heretofore It has been cus ;
tomary for the report to bo printed every
three years , and1 of the last one some 5,000
copies were printed.
The matter of the sidewalks In front of
the old Pierce Street nnd Eighth Avenue
schools , ordered laid by the city council , was
referred to Chairman .Henry of the commit
tee on buildings with power to act.
A resolution was passed that no teacher
should draw her pay for the last five weeks
of schools until she had completed her work
and received a certificate to that effect from
the superintendent.
The matter of prescribing a course of
study for the new school year , which the
law requires the board to do , was referred
to the committee on teachers and course
of study , with Instructions to report to
the board at a meeting to be called by them
when ready.
The authority granted Superintendent
Hlscy at the previous meeting to employ a
stenographer was rescinded on motion of
Member Cooper that the stenographer's
services bo dispensed with.
Several bills left over from the regular
meeting were ordered paid , but one for $3.50
for a cord of wood was referred to Member
Spruit , he having ordered It. The board has
a contract with Spencer Smith to supply
wood nt $2.75 a cord.

liS MOINES. May II. ( Special. ) One
of the plonocrs of Iowa now living In DCS
Mollies , linlc nnil liearly , Is Isaac Brandt , \
\ > ho wns postmaster of DCS Moltu-s under
President MnrrUon nnd hns held many posi
tions of responsibility hero nnd In the. state.
Mr. Drnndt was n warm personal friend of ,
John Drown nnd ho loves to tell of the visits j
tlmt fntnona abolitionist nmdc to him here j
nt his home within a block of thu state j |
capltol , where he still resides. Mr. Brandt I
Is also famous as a walker and he says hu
I
would like to join a pedestrian excursion to
Omaha and go over the route he traversed
just forty years ago to Council Bluffs. Mr.
Urnndt gives the following narrative of this
journey :
"Father Clarkson said nt one of our early
settler picnics that It was hnrd for him to
believe tlmt the distance to California nnd
the Pacific const was as many miles as It
Is taught us by our maps , remarking that
ho had been to Pasadena , San Francisco
and the National park , but that he had been
carried there by railways , In easy and lux
urious coaches , and whirled through the val
leys and great plains by the powerful loco
motives , that have almost annihilated space.
But when I think of the distance between
Maine and the btutc of Indiana I know what
It means , for I drove n two-horse team the
entire distance , and when I think of the dis
tance from Urookvllle , Ind. , to Orundy
county , lown , I know the distance , for I
drove a mule tcnin from one place to the
other , and know that the maps give the
correct distance.
"The spring of 1858 was very wet ; It
rained by day , rained nt night and rained by
the week. On the morning of May 24 I took
my little gripsack nnd went over to the
stage oftlce on Second street , near where
Harbach's brick building Is now occupied by
J. C. Cunningham as a poultry house , with
the Intention of going to Council Blurts by
stage. I asked Mr. Sears , the way bill clerk ,
the fare to the Bluffs. 'Fifteen dollars , ' was
the prompt reply. 'When will the stage get
there ? ' I asked. 'I don't know , ' he replied.
I turned to A. T. Johnson , the business
manager , asked him when he thought the
stage would reach the Bluffs. He answered :
'I cannot toll ; the roads are very bad , nnd
the sloughs are tcrj'blf | > . ' I asked Colonel
E. F. Hooker , the general manager of the
Great Western Stage company. He replied :
'I ' cannot say ; the roadslire ( bad nnd a great
many of the brldgoaYnre gone. One cannot
make any promises'/ ' } then asked Clerk
Scars If the wayblff-wnls full. He replied
that It was ; that If -wished .to go I could
ride outside , on the $ ' ) > it'pr with the driver ,
but the fare was tho'-sime. ' I thanked him ,
and ducllned to entei ; . m' name as a passen
ger , i
"Some people think ithat conductors on
railroads are Independent. If they had lived
In the days of wayfy'illiand stage coaches
(
they would know what ( dependence meant.
Conductors of stage"coaches were monarchy
over the traveling , j/uBllc ? '
Wfriililn'tltPny * Fare.
"It was Important1 itiat I" should go to
the Bluffs. Being no stranger to taking
long journeys on foot , I took my little grip
and bade goodbye. The first day I reached
the Eagle house , near where Redfleld Is
now located. The second day It rained
most of the time , but I arrived at Dalraau-
atha In time for supper. There were two
Mormon elders there that night nnd they
entertained mo very much with their views
of the scriptures. The third day I took din
ner at Squire Morrison's stage station and
that evening I arrived at Lewis , then the
county seat of Cass county. The fourth day
I reached Reed's station at Big Grove , in
Pottawattarale county. The fifth day I had
a pleasant walk Into Council Bluffs , where
I arrived about 3 o'clock p. m.
"J remained In the Bluffs a few days.
There were a great many Mormons at the
Bluffs and still more up at Florence , a few
miles above Omaha. One morning a large
delegation of Mormon emigrants that had
arrived In the Bluffs started to go to Flor
ence by the way of Crescent City , a few
miles north of the Bluffs. It was a motley
crowd men , women and children but more
women than men and a few old grand
mothers ; they hod wagons , horses and hand
carts , that were loaded and pulled by wo
men and men. When the caravan was fully
under way I appointed myself a reviewing
officer. I walked up nearly to Crescent City
and seated myself on the hillside to see them
In a grand review. It was a sight , people
trudging along with great bundles on their
backs women with straps and ropes over
their shoulders pulling carts loaded with
their belongings. One old lady , quite gray ,
was trudging along with a cane. I asked
her If It was hard work. 'Oh , no , sir , ' she
said , 'It Is not. I hope by the grace of God
to reach that promised land. These good
people , when I get so tired that I can't
walk , let mo ride once In awhile. No , no ,
It Is not hnrd work. I know by the grace
of God I will reach the promised land ,
where Brlgham Young , our prophet , lives. '
I had heard about faith removing mountains.
Here I had an ocular demonstration of an
old , decrepit woman ascending Crescent
Hill , apparently with case and grace.
"Tho first day on my return I stayed at
Reed's , at Big Grove , near where Oakland is
located , second day I reached Squire Morri
son's stage station. The third day I came
to Dalmanatha and the fourth day to Squire
Lanson's , In the western part of Dallas
county , and from thfro. home on the fifth
day. It mined everyday more or less ; the
roads were almost .Imijassable for stage
