Goode were in a saloon known as 1.-THE

placed the o%vercoat and travelling bag
of the man who sat at the other end OF
the seat. Two ladies entered the car
and the coloreG porter politely asked
the mar to give the seat to one of the
ladies. The man did not reply, and the
porter. still polite, requested the man
to remove his baggage from the seat
The only reply was a ginnt. The
ladies passed ON.
An athletic young man in the car, who
was a stickler for fair play, rose from
his seat. got one OF tho ladies to take il

and strobe to the seat occupied by the
mean man. He said not II word, but
stepped over the mOnopulist's feet, tossed
his overcoat over the back of the seat,
threw the other mars overcoat to one

took comfortable possession of the seat
After the young man had seated himself

Thursday evening, and delivered an address
which was listened TO with II great deal of
Interest by the large audience present, with
reference TO the institution whose affairs he
looks after. The remarks he mad with
reference to the roys in blue themselves,
and their habits and department while at
the home, were especially interesting.
The habits they acquired after leaving
the army, he said, had been bad in many
cases, ana they had consequently sunk into
encouragement and distress. But the in
f]luenccs that have been eNerted upon them,
after being taken into the shelter OF the
home. have resulted in an almost total
reformation, II moral Improvement being
easily brought about in a set OF men who are
well fed and clothed. Christian influences
through regular religious services are
moulding and shaping their feelings and
restoring to them that patriotic manhood
that distinguished them in their career as
soldiers. Prayer meetings among them, led
by themselves three times a week, together
with the personal Influence of the best

Question OF Who VIII He POST Ister rs
Practically Decided.
There is little doubt that Thomas Bow
man will be the next postmaster,
or at least the two men who
have been most prominently mentioned as
candidates are willing to admit that
they conccde it to him. A telegram was re-
ccived by ono OF the republicans of the city
yesterday afternoon from Congressman
Hagar stating that he had had
a conversation with Bowman, and
from what the latter said, he was
confident that he would accept the presi-
dents offer. Other kilograms came di-
rcctly from Bowman to his friends here
which conveyed the same impression, so that
in Council Bluffs the opinion was almost
general last evening that it would be Bow
man.
MIR. Hickman, in conversation on the
subject, admitted that his appointment
was out Of the question and SAID Bow
man would be the man. He did not ap-
pear to be in the slightest degree rufled
by tho turn affairs had taken, but said
that in the interests of the democratic party
in Council Bluffs the presiden: could have
done nothing else than to throw both him
self and Wadsworth out and appoint some
one else who would not meet with opposi-
tion from the wings OF the party.

A 'trampiied" young man introducing
himself as Harry Smith was found
yesterday afternoon with five cattle
in his care which seemed to be
stolen. lie was trying to sell them
for $50 Il head, when competent judges
thought they were worth Mt least $40. He
said he was coming to Council Bluffs by the
foot route early yesterday morning when he
ran across Il man driving II team behind the
cattle. The man offered him the job of
taking the cattle to the city and Smith
accepted. Thompson, as the other man
called himself, told his new man
so keep the cattle for him near the Western
house while he went TO Omaha, and also
told him TO sell them for SIS if he could.
Smith claims to be perfectly innocent of any
~wrongdoing, and the authorities are inclined
to believe his statement. The cattle are
evidently stolen, but they think it was
Thompson who did the job. In the mean
time the cattle are in jennings stable wait
ing for an owner to turn up. They are said
to bear the same brand us some cattle owned
by Mr.. Prouty, east of the city.

DIVORCE MILL.

Two Cases Receive Attention from Judge
Thornell-Peter Millcrs Case Dismissed.
The divorce case Of Peter G.. Miller
was on trial In the district court
yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Miller did
not put in appearance in court,
and IL default was taken. Mil
Ter told the story of his domestic troubles
and would probably have been granted the
much longed for matrimonial freedom had it
not been for a little technicality, which
will cause him to sweat q few
months longer. 1t seems that instead
of waiting until the statutory two years had
elapsed between his wife's desertion and the
time of commencing his suit, h, filed his
petition eighteen months after his wife had
ceased to live with him. The case was ac-
cordingly dismissed and he was told to file
another three months from now,
in case he still hankered after a divorce.
Mary A. Hansen'S plea for a divorce from
Hans @. Hansen was also under considera-
ton. Both live in Nicola, and the plaintiffs
side of the case was looked after by
a local attorney. The evidence showed
that the two had lived together
without intermission from the time the
suit was commenced until the night before
the trial was to begin. They then separated
and for the first time they found themselves
without the delights of home life. One
rather amusing thing took place during this
cross-eXamination of : Hansen. Tho
attorney was trying to show
that Hansen was a shiftless
fellow, drinking and gambling all his earn
ings up and allowing his wife and the eight
children she had had by q former husband
to feed themselves. After closely question
ing Hansen as to his habits, the attorney
said:
snow, MIR. Hansen, were you in the poker
room connected with q certain saloon in
Nicola one EVENING""
YES" was his ready reply. II was in
there the same night you were"
And then everyone smiled, even to the
court, as the lawyer proceeded to refresh
the witness mind upon several things that
took place on the night when they were out
together.
Tn case was finally taken under advise
