THE FREE FOR ALL.

The free for all was of course, the centre
OF attraction for the immense crowd, drawn
there to see the struggle between Star Gazer.
Jack Spratt and the new candidate for
special honors, Mamie w., the mare who
won the record of 2.27 so easily at Norway
in August. The grand stand was packed
and every inch of standing room taken any,
where where the finish could be seen. The
driver OF Mamie w. nodded for the word
when three lengths behind and Jack at once
took the pole trotting finely, but the gamy
mare crept on the other two step by step and
as they swung into the stretch to come to the
nall, ,on the outside the mare trotted squarely,
forcing the others to break and passing the
wire in LA, taking the pole on the turn and
holding to the finish, though pressed by
Jack on the home stretch; time 2.2S4. 1t
was grand exhibition of speed and pro-
voked hearty applause. The best time ever
made ON this track previous to today was by
Messenger Knox some years ago when he
trotted mile in $780, The record made to-
day will be of great service in future races
as 1t proves the value of the track for speedy
work.
In the second heat, the mare was again
sent away more than two lengths behind.
and her driver did not help the case any by
putting her in pocket twice. A little better
Judgment with the speed the mare has
sSN would o. have given her the heat. AS it was
thhds DtdI OdLtT LTOLLeU a
splendid heat never lifting his nose. while
Jack Spratt made three breaks, and in the
home stretch changed his position Never
theless the starter was determined to give
Jack the heat, and the others fell into line
TO the surprise of many who thought the
Bnckfeld gelding entitled to the heat; time.
2.275. '''''9'
Again the mare was sent off behind and
on the outside. As they flew to the quarter
Jack broke and gained while the Others
trotted smoothly. At the half they were
side by side in 1.13, but the driver of the
mare forced her little too much and She
faltered on the turn and fell back Star Gaz-
er kept close to Jack who at the three QUAR-
tiers made second break, resting himself
SO that he finished easily in 2.2S, not being
punished for breaking, as he was several
lengths ahead of the others.
At the start in the fourth heat Star Gazer
made one of his Characteristic breaks and
fell so far astern, that as distance was
waived his driver logged him around the
track. In this heat Jack broke several times
and while the mare ran very level, never lift
ing her nose, she could not speed with the
gelding who logged in in 230 winning the
race with the mare second and Star Gazer
third. The summary:

AMONG THE REFUGEES.
What is Being Done for Them at
Camp Perry.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 6-Surgeon General
Hamilton returned last night from visit to
Florida and Georgia. He said Camp Perry

capacity OF the camp and improve the SER
vice as much as possible. A Yellow fever

The cIoomiest paY.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 6.-This has
been the gloomiest day Of the epidemic. The
death roll is unexpectedly large. When DIR.
rooms this morning and announced six
death since last evening, and that some
patients had died for want of skilled nurses,
tbere was sensation The number of new
evening is 46; deaths, 10; total cases to date,
434 total deaths, 81. The gloomiest appre-
tensions are felt here and bitterness at the
policy that shnt women and children in, who
could have been sent to places of safety two
weeks ago had consistent and well ordered
plan been adopted, is intense. Several
liberal responses were received today to the
appeal for relief. Two additional hospital
wards are being built at the Sand Hills and
IL is hoped arrangements may soon be per-
fected for prompt and careful treatment and
the nursing of all patients.

There were two meetings held last evening
in the interests of the White Cross move.
ment. One was for the men alone, held in
the Presbyterian church, the other for the
ladies, in the Baptist church. At the meet
ing for the mcn Rev. Mr.. Rces scored the
city officials, and especially Mayor Rohrer,
very sharply for not enforcing the prohib-
tory and other laws. The following por-
lions of his address Indicate sufficiently the
manner in which he pictured vice in this
city:
The social evil in Council Bluffs has as
sumed great proportions. 1t is a cancer on
the body of our social life. Think of ten
bawdy houses in our city, having in them
from three to five women, each paying a
hush money fine of So per head, and the
keepers of these houses $40 each. Then
there are nearly as many more who pay no
fines, having from one to three inmates, and
run the risk of arrest and fine. There is one
road house, not far from the city, with a res
taurant feeder on Broadway. Men who are
so disposed can spend a day or night at this
house, or rent a bed for himself and some
vile creature he may take with him and
spend from IS to $40 in the surrender of his
manhood. Some would-be respectable men
are frequent visitors to these places. There
are certain hackmen who know all these
places, and do n good business in carrying
patrons to them. More than this: There is
hardly a day passes but pretended faithful
husbands are guilty of co-habiting with other
than their own faithful unsuspecting wives.
And yet these same men and women move IN
the respectable circles of society, and to all
appearances are pure and virtuous. Friends,
the evil in our midst is a gigantic evil, and
demands most vigorous measures to rout
1t and drive it from our presence.
would make it as disreputable for a man
to dcspoil a fair maiden as it is now for the
maiden thus despoiled. To-day the young
man to whom the outcast owes her ruin is
received into the best society, and IS courted
by silly mothers for their marriageable
daughters, while the poor unfortunate is
kicked out of society and forced by the
wrongs of society (and largely those of her
own SEX, into a life of shame. If society is
going to o~stracise the woman who has been
the victim of unfortunate circumstances, let
them go a little further and kick out the
treacherous villain with her. Make him a
partner in her shame. We ought to make
vigorous efforts to rid our society of the
awful plague. | am in favor of a crusade
not only against the violations of law in our
city, but against the men whose sworn duty
1t is to enforce the law and do not do it.

topic and the text OF the sermon preached
yesterday morning by Rev. G.. w. Crofts at
the Congregational church. He opened by q
clear and interesting exposition Of the law of
~congruity. 1t was the aim of the art TO bring
those forms and colors together which har-
monized; TsS ssvyvsuav ,trc,s excited SSSS-
cision ans contempt. The lack Of congruity
was a mark Of lack Of culture, Among the
barbariahs one expected to dnd a lack of har-
mony and consistency IN dress and custom.
As soon as men recognized the homogeneous
relation of things, so soon they were dis
pleased. IL would not do TO la a Minstrel
company enter a church on Sunday, go
through its performance and call it a kind of
worship. Everybody would be displeased at
such ~lncongruity. All could see the neon
s~isteucy of a prince dressing like a pauper, or
a queen being clad slatternly. Men would
not build a barn for the legislative hall of q
rich and cultured nation. The law of con-
grulty was everywhere recognized in human
society. God had made it manifest in the
world of nature. Everything had a place,
and when in that place it was conforming
with this law. There was as much beauty in
the dewdrop upon the primrose as in the
waters of the mighty deep.
AS in the material worlds so in the spiritual.
There was the like law and IL was in accord
ancc with this that men everywhere like to
see consistency.
The preacher then proceeded TO outline
some of the most important of 'the things
that accompany salvation He deemed sal
walton TO be more than a mere escape from
the results of sin. 1t was the new life which
was the more essential salvation-the devel-
opemcnt of new and better purposes and a
newer life.
One of the things that should occupy saliva
ton was that longing after God, which the
psalmist compared TO the heart longing after
the water brooks. Another accompaniment
was the earnest search for God and for the
truth.
Still another was the true moral life, and
another was the earnest cndcavor to save
others.
These points were strongly brought out as
among those consistent accompanlnents of
that salvation which is presented Sunday
after Sunday so practically and forcibly
from this pmlpit.

A Newspaper in Trouble.

The Council Bluffs Evening Herald has for
some time been having a struggle to keep its
head above cold water, of which il has been
so earnest an advocate, being the recognized
organ of the prohibition party. Saturday
there were several judgments entered against
it for paper and material bought of eastern
houses. These judgments amounted to about
81, 200. Executions were TO be issued, but it
was said that the establishment was execu-
%tion-proof, there being a chattel mortgage
upon it for 1900. Yesterday County Treas
urer Plumer was in charge of the establish
ment TO secure the payment of about $500
taxes. Late in the day this complication
was closed up and the Herald folks now say
that they see their way clear to go on with
the business as usual. The lay the sei2vre of
the place for taxes all TO the desire for re-
venge on the part of the democratic county
officers, whom they have been pounding quite
severely of late.

Crushed BY the Cars.

Yesterday morning, about4 O'Clock. a Union
Pacific yard man, by the name of Butcher,
was caught between the bumpers of two
freight cars and severely injured. DR..
Cleaver, the company's physician, was sent
for. Examination revealed the fact that the
back and hips of the unfortunate man were
badly crushed. He was taken to his home
on on Third street, where all possible atten-
ton was secured. AT this time it is impossi.
BILE 10 tell what are the extent of his injuries.
There is a possibility Of internal injuries
which may prove fatal, and should he recover

The indications are the coming season at
Lake Manawa will far eclipse any preceding
one. The hotel management is making very
extensive changes and improvements, and
will be able to entertain their guests much
better than ever before. The boating club
proposes to add several new boats and make
some improvements to their club house and
other material changes. The motor line will
also be in operation in a short time to fucili-
tate travel between this city and its adjacent
beautiful summer resort.
AS soon us these changes are all COM
pleted the accommodations for the pleasure
loving citizens Of this vicinity will be first

Bound to Have Talbot.

Marshal Guanella was yesterday making
arrangements to go to Denver to bring back
+. p. Talbot, the forger and confidence man,
who is now under arrest in that city. Tai
bots confid Hnce operations were confined to
Omaha, but he passed forged checks in tins
city, and there is q clear case against him on
this charge.
He was working for Dunbar e. Co., of
Omaha, and the bogus checks were on that
firm and purported to be Talbott's salary for
a weeks work. He tried unsuccessfully to
pass one of them at the BEE Office and several
other places. An Omaha officer was sent to
Denver after Talbot, but after getting there
refused to bring him back.
If the Denver authorities will hold him
until Marshal Guanclla can secure the neces-
sary papers from the governor, and reach
that city, Mr.. Talbot will be brought back
here in a manner that will surprise him to
answer to the criminal charges against him,
and there will be no possibility of fixing
this officer.
