Tho people of Council lllufTs cclcbratol
ttiu national holiday yesterday In much the
Kumu manner that thoy did one yi'iir ub.
Manuua proved the attraction for the
larger number, but l'alrmoutit park was not
overlooked and it wan the reisorl of a good
sized crowd, many families spending the
day and picnicking there, while the picnic
and barbecue of the Omaha retail butchcra
at the Driving park was uttenl?d by a
goodly sprinkling of Council MulT people.
Mnnnwa, with Hh many attracilon.i,
proved the Mecca yentcrday for thousands
of pleasure seekers from th! city ami
Omaha. From e.irly inornliit; the cars wcro
filled, thope koIiik early In the day Intend
ing to make a day of It fit the lake. From
noon until the clouds thteatcnc rain about
fi o'clock In the afternoon every car to
Mnn.iwn u-iiu n.irli il ut:h twMinl.'. It lH esti
mated that nt least 12,000 people vUlied
Mnnnwa dnrlriK the day and the number
would have, undoubtedly been much mrner
but for the rain, which caused many to
make an early start far home. Despite tho
fact that ih" motor company lud eviry
available car In (service tho crush ut the
cntranco nt Manawa was simply terrific nnl
tho olllctri wcro almost powerless to control
tho crowd.
There wcro a number of attractions at
tho lake, all of which were liberally pat
ronised. Tho ball games between the Mer
chants' Drowns and tho Neola team pioved
disastrous for the local players. The name
In tho morning was captured by Ncola by
a score of 14 lo 1 and the afternoon same
proved a second defeat for tho Illuffs bojs
by a score of 6 to 5.
There wcro two yacht races for boats of
class A anil class 11. In tho clans A, A.
Dickinson's I.obo, one of tho prettiest
sailers ever seen nt tho lake, won, time
28:30, with The Favorite second, time 27:33.
In tho H class Psycho came In first, but was
ruled out on protest for carrying extra bat
Inst, and the rnro Riven to Margaret Jane,
time 30:rS. John II. Hussle of Omahn and
John T. Tldd and George Ocrner of Council
Illuffs acted as Judge of the races. The
races yesterday wero but preliminary skirm
ishes, Tho regular cedes of matches be
ing arranged by tho Yacht club will bo ,
sailed either this or next week.
Tho new electric launch Manhattan wns
put Into commission yesterday and carried
hundreds of people to and from the large
bathing pavilion on the far sldo of tho lake,
which, although not. completed, was opened
to tho public yesterday. Two or three hun
dred pcoplo availed themselves of tho op
portunity to tnko n swim nnd Manhattan
Bench was well patronli'ed during the aft
ernoon. Daley's excellent band gavot two con
certs, which wcro much appreciated, whllo
tho matlnco and, evening performances of
tho Hamilton Opera company, which pre
sented "Tho Chimes of Normandy," were
attended by good" audiences. The rain had
a somewhat dampening oftect, however, on
the attendance at tho ovenlng show.
Tho merry-go-round, always such an at
traction for tho younger folk, caught the
older peoplo ns well yesterday nnd this
concession proved ono of If not tho best
paying on the grounds yesterday.
Tho motor company had an lnorcajcd fires
of deputy BherlffB on duty yesterday and
the best of order was maintained despite
tho largo crowd. Tho only time that the
ofllcers fntled to control the crowds was
when tho rush waa mado for the cars.
Everybody seemed bent on gottlng on tho
first car In sight.
Tho picnic of tho retail butchers of
Omaha at tho Driving park wns attended
by about 1,000 people. In addition to a
ball game between the butchors and the
produce oxchange team, thcro was n pro
gram of sporta for both men and women
and a barbecue nt which n largo ox was
roasted whole.

VETO MAY BE SUSTAINED
Council Snlil lo lie Shy uf

It will take six votes to overrldo Mayor
Jennings' veto of tho settlement of tho
Henry Lock personal Injury damage suit
and It Is nalil this number will not be forth
coming at tho special meeting of the city
council called for tonight to act on the
eto, Present Indications arc that tho
mayor's veto wlll'be sustained for tho lack
of one vote to make up tho necessary num
ber to overrldo It.
In tho event of the mayor's veto bolng
sustained tho situation will bo somewhat
complicated. The morning following tho
action of the city council Instructing City
Solicitor Waddwurth to enter Judgment In
tho suit against tho city for 12,000, this
was done, and the Judgment was recorded
In the district court. John Limit, attorney
for Lock, was on tho streets within an
hour after the record had been mado trying
to sell the Judgment nnd It Is s.ild that bo
was successful. Whatever tho action of
the city council will bo tonight, It Is said
there will bo certainly more or less litiga
tion on tho head of It.
In tho case of tho settlement of tho
Mlkcsell damage claim, In which Attorney
Limit succeeded In Inducing the city coun
cil to compromise for $3,000. .Mayor Jen
nings will Issue no veto, as tho time In
which he could tako such action has ex
pired. Ho was, however, opposed to tho
fcoitlemont. Had ho known at tho time that
ho had the right to exercise bis power of
veto, he says, he certainly would have donn
ho. This Is tho case In which tho husband
of Mrs. Harriett Mlkcsell was given $3,000
In settlement of his claim for damages on
the allegation that his wifo died as the
result of a broken leg received from a fall
on a defective sidewalk. Tho certificate of
the physician who attended Mrs. Mlkesoll
was to tho effect that her death was duo
to "heart failure from heart disease,"
showing that tho woman suffered from
chronic heart disease
City Solicitor Wadsworth Is out of tho
city, but Is expected to return In time
for the council meeting tonight.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DBS MOINES, July I. (Special.) Thero
was no public celebration In Dcs Moines
today, but excitement was afforded by a
spirited debate at tho Chautauqua ground
between Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, tho
president of the Woman Suffrage associa
tion, anil Kev. J. A. Boatman of Keokuk
on the question of "Woman Suffrage."
This debate wji llstcnod to by several
thousand persons Mrs. Catt was a former
resident of Dew Moines, where her husband
was a newspaper man, There was a pro
hibition picnic nt one of tho city parks, at
tended by a large number of prohibition
ists nnd addressed by T. O. Orwig, A. M,
Haggard, C. J. Kephurt nnd others. An at
tempt was mado to have it large number
of prohibition picnics In Iowa as the menns
of opreadlng prohibition gospel.
One of the most Interesting celebrations
of tho day was at Vinton, whero a recep
tion was given to young Calvin V. Titus,
who wnn a bugler In the Fourteenth In
fantry, United States volunteers, nnd scaled
tho walls at Pokln after tho siege nnd wr.n

Two recent moves In connection with the
old north and south rullroad project ap
pear somewhat mysterious. The company
which had headquarters at Nevada, which
was fathered by Mr. Wardoll and the
money for which was turrlshed by Elwood
Furnas, a Story county farmor, appears to
have como to a sudden stop through tho
failure to find (astern Investors willing to
put In their money. It Is now stated that
the projectors arc still hopeful of borrow
ing the money and building the railroad,
but this seems Improbablo In view of the
fact that two other projicts aro undjr way
to reach tho same territory. But Imme
diately upon announcement of the falluro
of tho tichemo there has been organized an
other company to go ostensibly Into the
same territory.
The first company ,vas to build from
Duluth to New Orleans nnd particularly
from Des Moines to Nevada; tho last or
ganized company to build from Canada to
Texas and especially for a short dlstanco
north of Des Moines. So far nn made pub
lic thoro has been no substantial backing
to these companies.

Insisted that, although there were many

smallpox, Ho was called beforo the board
nnd given time to get himself In line with
medical practice or give up his certificate.
The same procedure occurred with regard

"Wo desire to utter a profound and
solemn protest against the act of Judgo

Intensely grieved and Indignant because
such an Injunction has been mado perma

consider the motion of the city attorney
to dissolve the temporary Injunction. Wo
feel, however, that those Injunction pro

men, ought to Increase tho ardor, en

GREAT FALLS, Mont., July 4. Tho three
men who held up the Great Northern trans

Sheriff Griffith, with a posso of twenty
men, has surrounded thorn nt "Buck" Al

Belknap reservation, on the west fork of
the Pouohette river. Tbo posse followed

Information that reached here late today
Is that the pusse came In sight of tho men
about 3 o'clock today, near the ranch, and,
driving them id, surrounded them. It Is
probable thoy will not bo captured
until after a severe fight and at tho latest
advices Sheriff Griffith bad not mado tho

housed lu the ranch buildings, which offer
every protection for a siege. The posse
may not try to force their capture until
reinforcements are received. It Is under
stood that nnothcr posse from south of
tho Missouri, in the direction of Fort Haw
ley, will Join Sheriff OrlfTlth at Allen's
ranch.
Tho sheriff's posso has not yet obtained
descriptions of tho men, although Sheriff
Griffith wns a passenger on tho train
that was robbed and saw tho men escape
across the plains on their horses. The
gang was identified today by their horses
and when observed through fleldglniiscs, the
white, bay nnd buckBktn on which they
wero mounted nftcr the robbery wero
plainly seen.
Contrary to first reports tho men aro
not experienced train robbers. Information
from Wagner and nearby pointH Is that
they havo been partially Identified ns cow
punchura employed on a ranch lying south
of tho Milk river. Ono Is a halfbrecd, as
was thought at the time of the robbery.
He Is known to bo tho man who boarded
the exprebs cast of Wagner and forced tho
engineer and fireman to bring It to a stop
at tbo head of tho ravine In which III-
confederates were hidden.
The authorities havo been unable to
clearly Identify the robbers, but It Is now
thought that with tho Information obtnlned
their whereabouts can easily bo ascer
tained. The work of tracking was extremely dif
ficult, owing to tho nature of the country,
bad lands, broken by foothills. Across tho
line of tho Fort Belknap reservation only
a few miles distant there arn excellent
hiding places and It Is thought that If the
bandlta should elude capture tonight and
once got in this ground, it will bo almost
Impossible to again find them.
Information received here from Ilnvro Is
that neither Traveling Auditor Douglass of
Clancoy, Mont., nor Brakcman Whiteside
was hit In tho fusillade from tho bandits
at the time of tho robbery.
Gcrtrudo M. Smith of Tomnh, Wis., a
passenger In tho tourist car, who was shot
In the arm, was Immediately attended by
a surgeon, who found that she had sus
tained nothing more serious than a flesh
wound. This was treated and bandaged
and she continued her Journey, In com
pany with her aunt, to Seattle.
It Is probable that the first cstlmato of
tho loss, $83,000, Is somewhat excessive.
Reliable Information received today is that
$70,000 was secured and that this, with the
damage to through express shipments, re
sulting from tho explosions in the car, will
represent tho cnttro loss of the company.
No Information concerning the consignees
of the money In tho through safe Is ob
tainable. It Is understood that a consid
erable part was In tho shape of shipments
west from Chicago banks and other finan
cial institutions.
ST. PAUL, July 4. A Helena, Mont., spe
cial Fays: It Is understood that the throa

ties. Engineer Jones recogulzed all three
of tho men who participated In tho
holdup. He knows them personally and is
with the posso which Is scouring tho coun
try. Tha engineer says that one man was
tho leader of a gang of robbers that held
up a train near tho scene of yesterday's
robbery. This man Is said to bo a member
of the notorious gang. In broad daylight
the engineer had an opportunity to look
carefully at each. They wore no masks
nnd had mado no attompt at disguise In
anv manner. All wero attired with tho
evident purpose of facing a long and hard
ride across tho country.

Bad Circulation is the cause of iost of the ills that come with old ngc. With
advancing years there is a decline of strength and vigor the machinery of the
body moves with less speed and accuracy. Because of the weak and incgulai
action of the heart the blood ntovm more slowly, becomes impure and loses much
of its lifc-Mtstaining properties, and muscles, tissues and nerves literally rtarve fot
lack of nourishment. A sluggish and polluted circulation is followed by a long
train of bodily ailments. Cold feet, chilly sensations up and down the spine, poor
appetite and digestion, soreness of the muscles, rheumatic pains, hard and fissured
skin, face sores, chronic running ulcers on the lower limbs and other parts of the
body these and many other diseases peculiar to old people ore due to a lack of
health v blood and imperfect circulation. Restoration to health must come through
the building up and purification of the blood, thus adding strength ana tone to
the vital organs and cniick, healthy action to the circulation.
S. S. S. being strictly a vegetable blood remedy and the best tonic, makes it
the most valuable and emcacious of all medicine for old people. It is free from all
mineral ingredients, und mild and pleasant in its action. It cure blood diseases
of every character, even those inherited or contracted in early life. As the system
gets under the influence of S. S. S. there is a marked improvement in the general
health, and as richer and purer blood begins to circulate through the body the
appetite improves, and there is a softness and elasticity about the akin that you
have not noticed for years ; sores begin to heal, pains in muscles and joints grad
ually cease, and you find that it is possible to be happy and healthy even in oldnge.
Our medical department is in charge of physicians who make a study of blood
and skin diseases. If you would like to have their opinion and advice u your
case, write them all about it nnd you shall receive such information and advice as
you want. This will cost you nothing. Others have found our medical depart
ment of great benefit to them their cure being much more rapid as the result ol
some special directions received from our physicians.

The Bee lias a treat in store for twelve western
girls who earn their own living. It intends to send
them on the twelve best trips which can be planned and
pay all of their expenses, including everything. Not
only this, but so that they can enjoy the vacation to the
fullest limit, railroad tickets will be provided for whom
ever they choose to go with them.
Who they shall be is to be determined by the read
ers of The Bee. Everyone should save their coupons
and it may help some girl whom you know to be par
ticularly deserving of a vacation to win a place. Such
a trip they could probably never take otherwise; surely
not without a great deal of sacrifice and saving.
To vote, cut a coupon from page two, fill it out
properly und deposit it at Tho Bee office or mail to
