suit of Uncle Sam's soldiers after Agulnnldo,
In which he took part. Ills narration of
their trip over a mountainous country Is
one of extreme hardship. He says that for
11 number of days the Fiddlers subsisted upon
rico alone, and that without seasoning of
any kind. They wero also poorly clad, and
many wero without boots or shoes. It was
n three months' aggressive marching cam
paign and to secure these necessities was
nn Impossibility, duo to their Inability to
communicate with headquarters. Ho highly
compliments tho soldierly qualifications of
the late lamented Oeneral I.iwton, who was
no much admired by all the privates.

County llnr Anxoolntlou,
The c3tcem In which the late Hon. Dexter
C. Hlootner was held by his ft lends, bus
iness associated and the people of this elty
generally was manifested by tho large at
tendance at his funeral obsequies yecterd.iy
afternoon. St. Paul's Episcopal church,
whero tho services were held, was
Inadequate to eeat tbe crowd of mourners
and tlio iilslcs wero thronged with people.
Pho handsome cusket wus covered with t
perfect bower of beautiful floral tributes,
among the number being tokens from tho
liar association, tho vestry of St. Paul's
church, tho board of trustees of the public
library and the Odd Fellows.
Tho services at the church, conducted by
the rector, Kov. fleorge Edward Walk, as
sisted by Hev. It. Knox, rector of (Jraco
church, and Itev. T. J. Mackay of All Saints'
church, Omaha, were most Impressive. Tho
members of the Bar association and OJii
Fellows attended In a body and were given
seats in the front pews. Tho pew which
for a long number of yearn had been occu
pied by Mr. Uloomer was left vacant and
draped In mourning. The full surpllccd
choir rendered the funeral chant and during
tho serviccH sang tho following hymns
which had been particular .favorites of tho
deceased: "1 Heard the Voice of Jifctis
Say," "Lead Kindly Light," "A Hymn of
the Homelund." Hev. Walk In his sermon
deliverod a beautiful eulogy, Baying In part;
llenilllr ill HuloK'y.
'Wo nro assembled here to offer our last
humble tribute to tho memory of our de
parted friend and brother. Wo come to
strew tho flowers of our hearts' love upon
the tomb of one who In life we loved, and
to entor tho Parthenon of the heart's ben
affections for oblations worthy of his mem
ory. Ilut our meeting hero today to do
honor to tho memory of Dexter C. Hlootner
Is more to manifest what wo feel than to
ossay thoso feelings In "words. We would
rathor Invoko tho expressiveness and dig
nity of silence to declaro his merits and
avow our grief. Dexter C. niootner, tho
upright and noble Christian, is no more.
HIb llfo work In concluded, and tho fruitage
of many yearn' laborious efforts In tho
scrvlco at Ood and of tho church is with
us as a rich and glorious legacy; and though
dead, and his ministrations of love lost to
us forever, and tho example of his puro and
upright life Is taken from us, yet In affec
tion and In momory he Is with us, and aa
Abel, from the slumberous past, speaks to
the Christian heart, so our brother speaks
to us. Though dead, ho speaks In the
language or good work and a faithful life.
Ho -wa ever prompt In duty, earnest In
action und puro In heart. His powers
were tuned In tho direction of vlrtuo and
unselfishness. He llvod to make many
souls rejolco that there was n good and
Christian man to help tho needy. His
llfo was really a quiet and beautiful Idyl
a poem of goodness and usefulness. May
wn Imltato his many virtues, emulate hb
noblo zeal, und havo embalmed In our hearts
tho forma of beauty and goodness that
chastened and distinguished his valuable
life. And, as no force l over destroyed,
as no thought over dies, let us not despond
or grow weary In pursuing tho work that
ho engaged In. It will go on. It Is
tho flat of destiny. Let us assist In Its
progresH and development.
.Sail lleri'iivciiicnl.
"And now let us comfort our hearts In
this very sad bereavement. The good are
not only blessed In the transition of death,
which Is u mero change In tho mode of be
ing, but 'they rest from their labors, and
their works do follow thorn.' As tho sweet
ness of the perished rose lingers In tho at
mosphere around tbe parent stem, so do the
labors nnd virtues of tho dead Christian ex
halo from tho very tomb the freshness and
fragrance of unsullied lives. Kverythlng In
this world Is fragmentary. Ono generation
and ono Individual accomplish only so much,
nnd another tnkes up tho unfinished work
and carries it on, and thus the noblest ends
of destiny are achieved.
"Mr. Hlootner lives again In his llfo, In
his example, nnd In the work ho has left
behind him. Death Is hut nn episode In
llfo, nnd It Is pleasant (o feel that our
brother lives again, not only In tho affec
tion of those who loved him so well, hut In
tho benignant stnllo of that Saviour whom
he served so faithfully.
"And now, especially to the members of
this parish, I would speak a word. Would
you honor tho man as Is given man most
to honor tho dead'.' Then In your minds and
hearts continue to hear tho voice that Is
still, remember his words and walk In his
ways. In tho market place or a Herman
town there stands n statute placed there by
pious hands, of beautiful significance. Ill?h
up above the bustling throng where tho
people are buying and selling, encumberel
with tho things of earth, there is a figure
of an angel pointing heavenward, with a
scroll In tils hand, on which are Ins-rlbel
these solemn words: 'Things that are seen
uro temporal, but tho things that are seen
are eternal.' Could you nlopt n truer and
more deserved reminder of the one that Is
gone than In sacred fancy to behold him
sitting In his vacant pew, where memory
will keep him long, 1 olntlng you. over like
tho angel monitor of the busy mart, heaven
ward: whllo from his unmnvlng hand .you
rend his faithful Christian life, as you read
Hod's warning, 'Things that nro scon aro
temporal, but tho things that are not seen
are eternal.'
"And now farewell, friend nnd brother, a
long and sad farewell. In a butter mil
sunnier land wo hono to greet thee a land
Where falls not rain, nor any snow.
Nor ever wind blows loudly; but It lies
Deep mendowed, happy, fair, with orchard
lawns
And bowery hollows, crowned with sum
mer sea.

Tho remains wero laid to rest In Fnlrvlcw

favor of 11 wise, economical and otllclcnt
administration of our utTalrs. At that
meeting, and as a result theivor, 11 commit
tee or two rrom each ward was appointed,
consisting of F. C. Lougeo, J. It. Hell, Spen
cer Smith, Chris Straub, 1''. II Kovei,
Henry Van Hrtuit, F. It. Davis, Willis Kim
ball. C. H. Giles, A. J. .Mantlerstili. A. C.

secure the consent or lepubllcnn business
men possessing the desired iiuullllcuttfms to
be candidates for the various municipal
ulllces and recommend to the party their
nomination for these positions
That committee, realizing the delicacy
und Importance of the duty Imposed upon
them, has earnestly endeavored to carry
out the purpose for which they were ap
pointed. In common with the republicans
of this city generally they reeognlzo the
transcendent Importance to our city of 11
wise ti tn I economical administration of our
municipal utTalrs, und that a ticket, the
candidates upon which would be to til"
people of Council HlulTs a guaranty of that
kind of an udmlnlstrutlon. would redound
to the credit and advantnge of the party.
As 11 result of their elTorts and delibera
tions' they recommend to the republican
convention the following gentlemen us can
didates tor the various munlclpn1 olllces:
For Muvor C. W. McDonald.
For Aldermen ut Large Lewis Hammer
und F. II. Hill.
For city Solicitor Spencer Smith.
For Treasurer F. T. True.
For Assessor W. M. Shcpard.
For Knclnecr Thomas Tostovln.
For Auditor F. L. Kvuns.
For Welghmaster Thomas Johnson.
For Park Commissioner Stephen Connor.
These gentlemen have consented to be
candidates before the republican conven
tion, not because or any desire to hold
olllce, hut In the discharge ot their duty us
citizens nnd republicans, and at tho earnest
request of icpublleans generally. They aru
men who have been for years Identlllcd,
with the huslness Interests- of Council
Hluffs, und their records und reputation
turning us are a sulllclont guaranty of their
lltness for tho positions for which they nro
recommended, and of the. strength their
nomination would add to the republican
ticket. Tills recommendation Is made In no
spirit of dictation or of faction, tint In the
honest desire to add to republican success
und advance tho best intercuts of the city
of Council Hluffs. The committee has sug
gested but one mime for each ofllco for the
reason that tho recommendation of more
than 0110 would divide tho forces ot tlloce
who are In tuvor of a wise nnd prudent mu
nicipal administration. It recognizes tbe
right of every republican In Council Hluffs
to bo n caiidlduto for uny nomination within
tho gift of the party und the right of every
Individual republican to the expression of
his own Judgment us to who .diould be the
nominees of the party. This recommenda
tion is made only as u recommendation and
subject to tho ratllleutlun of the lepulillcaim
of Council Hluffs In convention assembled.
Through It no "attempt at nomination" In
advance of the republican convention Is
meant, nor Is there any deslro to dictate to
the republicans ,,f thin city.
It Is hoped that the labor of tbe commit
tee will redound to the benefit of the party
nnd the advantage of tho city. It Is their
wish that their action may result in uni
fying the party anil In the nomination of 11
ticket Hint will command lint only the sup
port of every republican, but of hundreds of
democrats desirous of tho kind of ndiutnls
tratlon which would be assured by tho elee.
tlon of tho gentlemen above named. This
committee, called rrom every ward In the
city and representing Its diverse business
and commercial Interests, having ut heart
only the advancement of the Interests of
Council Hlulfs and the success of the re
publican party, submits this report and
recommendation to the republican of Coun
cil Hluffs with the hope that It will com
mend Itself to the Judgment of tho party
and be In some small degree of nssintancc
In accomplishing the results which aro de

a liiely experience with two holdup artists
last night about 10:30 o'clock. Ho was

counting his cash preparatory to closing up

by the front door. Approaching the bar
they hoth suddenly drew revolvers from
their pockets nnd leveling them at Schell'.i

money to them. Instead of complying wl'ii
tho demand. Schcll hastily thrust tho money
Into his packets und then ran around th

snapped their revolvers nt . him, but for
