Equestrian Club to Join the Paradcs.
The Stock Yards Equestrian club has ac
cepted an invitation from the managers of
the Ak-Sar-Ben to take part in two parades
during the state fair The first will be the
military and civic parade on Tuesday even
ing September 1, and the other is the county
float parade on Wednesday evening, Septcm-
ber 2. There will be at least sevent-:lve
members, all handsomely mounted and
wearing bright, new uniforms. The club
uniform is white duck trousers black
leather leggings black cutaway coats and
white Fedora hats, Each horse will be
fitted out in a blue saddle blanket, with
red trimmings and a cowboy saddle. Since
the organization of the club two drills a
week have been held, and now the men
and horses are proficient in the ordinary
military movements. 1t is expected that
the club will be one of the features of the

Mrs Fred Cline, who lives on Sixteenth
avenue, has been called upon to answer to
four criminal charges Two of them are
for cruelty to animals and two are for
assault. A neighbor named Sorrenson and
his family are the complaining witnesses.
SorreHson says he had his family COW
and horse picketed on the commons in the
nelghborhood, and that for some reason
Mrs. Cline objected to it. She ordered
him to take them away and when he re-
fused she seized club and beat the horse
and cow most cruelty Sorrenson went to
rescue his animals, and he says the enragsd
woman picked up blacksnake whip and
larruped him with it, He got out OF her
way to avoid trouble, and his son, who
was near by, became the object of the
woman's wrath. She picked up the club
she had been using to beat the helpless
animals and started after him, vowing that
she would kill him If she caught him. These
alleged occurrences are the foundations
for the four warrants that have issued from
Justice Viens court for the woman's arrest.
The cases were to have been heard yester-
day, but were continued until August H.

Street Supervisor Morris is making
modest test OF the efficacy of gravel as a
repairing material for the wornout cedar
block payements Work was commenced
yesterday morning upon strip half OF the
width OF the street on Bryant street in
front OF the city property The blocks
and all OF the old rotten lumber are being
removed and the space filled with gravel
and sand from Wickham's bank, north OF
town Tho gravel being used is mostly
coarse sand with an occasional boulder. but
1t is deemed good enough for experimental
purposes. Several kinds OF experiments will
be made on the short section OF the street
and the plan that appears to give the best
results will be used on Broadway.

Chain Gang Broken Up.

The good effect of the return to the plan
OF working city prisoners on the streets is
apparent in the great decrease in the number
of arrests for vagrancy. Before the old
order was re-established there were ten to
thirty prisoners in the city jail all of the
time enjoying life with degree of comfort
that seemed to satisfy them toiling not and
getting three square meals day. When the
order went into effect requiring all city
prisoners to labor on the streets 1t was not
long before the word was passed to the pro-
fessional tramps that an arrest in Council
Bluffs meant a sentence al hard labor on the
streets. Within ten days less than half the
usual number of inmates were on hand and
there have been frequent intervals since
when the Jail was tenantless, so far as able
bodied men were concerned. This was the
condition yesterday and the officer who has
had charge of the chain gang found his oc-
cupation gone.
The work the men have done In the way of
cleaning the mud from paved streets has
amounted to a good deal more than the cost
of keeping them and the taxpayers have re-
ceived some remuneration for the big board
bills that have been paid.

for nothing but to hold tea and sugar
and spoonholders and everything else
just the same. In the drawers, among
The plated spoons and forks, there was
miserable little lot of thin silver
spoons and light forks, scarcely worth
carrying Off, and souvenir spoon or
two, but l sorted out these things and
laid 'em together, corded in a little pile
Oh the left hand side of the top of the
sideboard, handy to pick up when was
:eady. l had finished the sideboard and
picked up the spoons and was just about
TO put 'em into my left hand inside coat
pocket when heard somebody say:
There, that'll do nicely!'
Naturally enough, suppose, I faced
around toward where the sound came
from, still holding the spoons in my
band. l realized i'll a minute Just what
it meant, and might have throwed the
spoons at him or turned the other way
or dropped but, to tell you the truth,
was "a little surprised-it's u watchful
man that's never surprised-and in the
fraction Of second that l stood there
thinking about it there was click and
Fash, and | kncwed I'd been photo
graphed.
81 think, he says, you'll find
thatll come ont very nicely-features
and all the accessories clear and dis
tiEct. Well send you proof in about
two weeks. What is the address, please?'
And when l said nothing, he went ON
1t Is customary for US to require de-
post from customers that we dom t
know. If you don't wish to make a de-
post, you might leave the spoons with
us as sort Of guarantee of good faith. ;
I'D dropped the spoons in my pocket
and reached for my gun. l wasn't 60
ing away without that photograph ma
chime and everything i'll it, but long be-
fore l was ready he'd pulled a string or
something and turned up every light in
that room and the next, and he was
standing just inside the next room
holding gun very steady across the top
OF the camera. He was cool, business
like locking man-very much so. 1t was
clear that there wasn't anything for me
to do but to leave the spoons, and that 8
what did, and when he said nothing
further, but just held the gun ON me, l
understood that there was no use of my
waiting for another sitting.
Il was back in that town two or
three years after that, aud l looked
along III the photographers showcases
for the picture, but l didn't see it. -
