Ilarle Delivers tbe rrlnrlpal Address of the Occasion. On August 13, IV. Abraham Lincoln paid his memorable visit to Council Bluffs, and during his stroll aboujt the then frontier town stood to vie the surrounding coun try from the bluff at the head of what is now Oakland avenue. The place where President UnccS stood and looked across towards the Missouri river, winding Its, tortuous way, came to be known as "Lin coln Lookout Folnt." Last evening the cltl sens of Council Bluffs gathered in the im mediate Vicinity of this historic spot to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the martyred president's visit to this city In conjunction with the formal dedication of the new park, which, In honor of the great emancipator, will be known as Lin coln park. The exerciser were held from a platform erected on the slope of the hill Just below the point of the bluff where Lincoln had stood fifty years before. Here the people gathered around the platform, while tho.se who drove to the park In carriages and automobiles occupied positions of vantage along the driveway. Strings of electric lights added brilliancy to the scene, while music by Covalt's orchestra enlivened the proceedings. Congressman Walter I. Smith, who pie sided, opened the exercises with a brief but eloquent eulogy on the martyred president. Fairer seems this olden city. And .Us sunshine seems more fair; That he once trod its pavements, And that he once breathed its air. These were the words Judge Smith used In opening his tribute to Lincoln.. The address' by Hon. Charles M. Harl was In the main an eloquent tribute to the :ifo and character of the martyred presi dent. . Abraham Lincoln lias come to represent and symbolise the highest attributes of American character and the foremost principles of liberty and government Aipon which American institutions are based. He telongs, not to America, but to humanity. Referring to President Lincoln's visit to Council Bluffs, Mr. Harl said: It la the good fortune of Counoil Bluffs that Its life was touched by this reme.rk able man. Although he was a child of the great west, this city marks the farthest western point to which he ever Journeyed. Fifty years ago today, when Abraham Lincoln had become a central figure of the political life of the nation by his debates with Judge Douglass and when he was looked upon as the probable candidate of a great party for the presidency of the United States, he was a guesti within the limits of our city. He stood upon this lookout snd gascd out upon the valley that Is to day teaming with w'ealth and prosperity. and, with pephetle eyes, looked toward the great west and fortrftw the lino of rail way that should link it to the Atlantic and the great empire which within a generation was to grow up beyond ths Missouri. When, a few years later. It became, his duty to fix the eastern terminus of the Union Pacific railway, his mind reverted to the picture placed upon the tablets of his memory as he gased from the lookout, and, through that memory and the advice of our own General Dodge, he fixed that terminus In the township In Iowa opposite to the city of Omaha, the plaee that had enraptured his vision on that August dav In Council Bluffs. It is indeed fitting that this spot, hallowed by his memory , and forever linked with one of the historic events of the nation, should he commemor ated by our citizens and should be devoted to the pleasures and uplifting of the common people, so dear to his heart and of whom he was the noblest representa tive. It Is a duty which we owe to the memory of Lincoln, to our city and our selves, that upon thlsjookout there should he placed an enduring monument to his memory and that the coming generations of our citizens and visitors should here read a tar.let marking tne historic ract or the presence of Lincoln and of Its connection with the terminal of the great line of railway that became a potent factor In the preservation of the union and Is today an essential element of the material and moral development of the great empire of which It Is the chief highway. Dr. Charlotte MeCuskey, representing the Council Bluffs chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, who Intend erect ing monument to Abraham Lincoln at this historic point, delivered a short ad dress, in which she said It was a source of gratification to the members of the chapter to be Invited to participate In the exercises. Like the preceding speakers. Dr. MoCusloy paid a beautifully worded tribute to Abra ham Lincoln. The formal presentation of the new park, the land for which was generously donated by former Mayor M. F. Roher and Leopard Everett, was made by Mayor Thomas zz eoeERY 600-602 BROADWAY. Bacon, in strips, lb.

Just prior to the opening of the exercises Pruldent Grsham of the Park board met with an ' accident which fortunately did not have any serious results. In descending the slope toward the platform he caught his foot In the roots -of a shrub and lost his bslance. He fell and rolled some dis tance down the hill, but except for a few scratches and bruises escaped Injury. B( RGLAR BISY Dl RISO NIGHT Foor Hoasea Visited, bat Mttle Plunder Taken. An unidentified burglar took advantage of the tropical condition of the weather Thursday night, which prompted people to leave their doors and windows open, to visit at least four houses on Benton, Har rison and North Second streets. His activi ties netted hlin $19.50 In cash, and as he passed up a gold watch, valued at ove 9100. at one house, ths midnight prowler was evidently only out after money. At the residence of Samuel French, 242 Harrison street, Mr. Burglar easily ef fected an entrance by unlatching the screen door and made his way Into Mr. Frenoh's bedroom without awakening any of the household. From the pockets of Mr. French's trousers the thief obtained $18 In cash, but considerately refrained from ap propriating Mr. French's gold watch, val ued at over $100. When Frank Hennlng. living at 224 Ben ton street, awoke yesterday morning he dis covered that his trousers were missing from the chair where he had placed them over night. A search resulted In the finding of them In the backyard with the pockets turned Inside out. Mr. Hennlng placed his loss at $1.50. ' Dr. Scott Covalt, living at 009 North Sec ond street, awoke about 2 o'clock yester day morning and saw outlined through the scrcn of the window the shadow of a man. Promptly reaching for his revolver, which was on the bureau alongside of the bed. Dr. Covalt fired at the shadow and then telephoned for the police. By the time an officer reached the Covalt domiolle the In truder had disappeared, but his tracks In the flower bed directly under the window were easily discernible. Robert Henderson, jr., who resides at t8 Benton street, was also awakened shortly after 2 o'clock by a noise at his bedroom window. The figure of a man was plainly stlhoutted through the screen. Not possess ing a revolver, Mr. Henderson first awak ened his wife and then yelled at the In truder. The yell accomplished Its purpose and the fellow made a Jump over a low railing and dashed through the yard to wards -Harrison street. Mr. Henderson then telephoned the police and was Informed that officers had already been sent to the Covalt home. The officers, after leaving the Covalt residence, explored the neigh borhood near the Henderson home, but fulled to secure any trace of the burglar. KILLKD B V FA I.I.
