GRAND - FIREWORKS PROGRAM
Park Commissioner - Graham Has
Arranged (or Display that Will
Take Two Hoars to
Send Off.
Mayor Moloney, Park Commissioner
Graham, the Commercial club and the
Retail Merchants' association have joined
In the effort to have an old-fashioned
Fourth of July celebration .in Coune.il
Bluffs this year. The merchants , have
all ' agreed to close all ' their places of
business during the entire day and con
tribute most liberally toward defraying
the expenses by using a part of the fundi
heretofore wasted on the now tabooed
"fake" advertising. Groceries, markets
and other provision stores will be kept
open late Wednesday evening for the
purpose of accommodating late shoppers,
bu,t when the doors are once snut they wllj
" remain closed until Friday morning.
Fairmount park will be the center of
the more elaborate ceremonies and ' the
point where the program will be carried
out during th,e afternoon and evening.
This will include a band concert through
out the afternoon and at least one pa
triotic address. The decision was reached
last evening to invite Dr. , Buxton, th
new rector of St Paul's church, to de
liver the principal address. His im
promptu Memorial day address so greatly
pleased those who heard It and it came
apparently so easy that the committee
in charge of the program's preparation
felt that it would not be placing Dr. Bux
ton at a great disadvantage by inviting
him upon such short notice again to
please the multitude.
r
Fine Fireworks.
In the evening Park Commissioner Gra.
ham .has promised the finest pyrotechnic
display that has yet been provided by the
V commissioners. A larger amount of
money has, been expended and the pur
chases made at wholesale earlier than
usual in the season. The supply Is suffi
ciently large to require about two hours
to display. Greater encouragement than
usual is to be given family gatherings
and picnics In the park during the day
and evening. ; There are hundreds ' of
pleasant and secluded nooks in the big
park where such gatherings may be held.
The number of such places has been
i -mi v inrnwKm nv t n a winsp niKTT-imi

may now be secured on the hilltops and

Two Parties Meet
Today to Ratify
Primary Vote
Two political conventions in Council
Bluffs today will attract momentarily
from the interest in Baltimore. Repub
licans and democrats will meet for the
purpose of ratifying the county primary
nominations and filling the vacancies that
were left when the votes were counted.
The chief Interest centers in the repub
lican gathering, .for the reason that it
win nave to name .one or me candidates
for the 1913 term of county supervisor.
There should be no contest, however, for
the convention will follow the wishes of
a majority of the voters by ratifying the
nomination of Elmer E. Minnick of Coun
cil Bluffs, who lacked Just forty votes
of having the required 35 per cent of the
total vote cast. Marion Palmer of Oak
land received barely 100 more votes than
Minnick and thus escaped being forced
Into the convention. These extra votes
were all of the prohibition type cast at
Oakland. There, were six other candi
dates voted for, , hut all fell far short
of the high vote cast for Minnick, thus
indicating Mr. Minnick to be much the
stronger candidate.; Two of the candi
dates, Darrlngton and Spencer, present
memDers i me. uum u, resiue oniy eigni i
miles apart-in- the north part of 'the1
county, and onlya few miles from Coe,
another; member,-thus making the Coun
cil Bluffs man geographically the strong
est candidate.! There are 163 votes in the
convention and it is understood that Mr.
'Minnick has assurances that seventy.' of
these will be cast for him on the first
ballot. His defeat can .only be brought
about by manipulation that could easily
bause a split that might defeat the repub
lican county ticket. :
The republican convention will meet in
the north -court room of the county court
house at 11 o'clock. After organization
in adjournment will be taken until after
noon. The resolutions committee Is ex
pected to report platform that will be
worth reading. There are a number of
township, offices that were not filled at
the' primary election which the convention
may fill by - selecting candidates. There
was Silso no republican candidate for the
tiff ice of county superintendent of schools
and it' is possible, but scarcely probable,
that a man may be named to contest with
County ' Superintendent Puryear for the
place. ' r ' .
The aembcratic convention, which will
meet at the same hour, will have little
Interest, for the reason that the demo
crats named a full ticket at the primary,
to perform of ratifying the nominations.
K Is likely,-however, that they will have
Something to do in the way of platform
taaking that will reflect or echo th?
declarations. -

Whole Town Turns
Against Young Boy
Robert Petty, the 14-year-old son of R.
G. Petty, a harnessmaker of Carson, has
earned the distinction of having his
whole town turn against him and unite
in an appeal to the Juvenile court to have
corrective measures taken to reform his
mora conduct The lad was before Judge
Snyder yesterday, who, after a careful
Inquiry into the facts, ordered the youth
consigned to the custody of a farmer in
another part of the county.
Young Petty's case was peculiar, for
the reason that although fourteen of the
leading citizens of the town signed the
information charging him with incorrigi
bility, none were able to point out any
specific serious acts except the unlawful
or irregular acquisition by the boy of a
pair of old boots, yet all felt the lad
was bad very bad. The boy was brought
to Council Bluffs more than a week ago
and . confined - in St Bernard's hospital.
The boy, unusually large for his - age,
la endowed with about four times the
normal amount of boyish' energy, gov
erned wholly by impulse; When every
body had reached the conclusion that
he was bad he fully realized he had to
live up to the reputation. This made it
very desirable to remove the boy from
the village. His visit to Council Bluffs
was the first great event of his life. It
was the first time he had ever seen a
street car or a paved street and many
other things that gave him a new view
point As a special privilege he was per
mitted to return to his home to spend
the Fourth and will then go to the home
of Henry Hess, a farmer residing six
miles frm Oakland.
