Jury Takes Hand.

Mayor Roland Of Neola, in the absence Of
any other available law officer, brought
Henry Grantz to the county Jail yesterday
and turned him over to the keeping of Sher-
in Morgan. Grantz has been indicted by
the grand jury in the east end of the county
upon the charge of larceny as bailee. His
trouble was the result OF one false step
taken several months ago. He is a carpen-
ter, and until two Yeas ago vas n worthless
tramp and vagabond, VINO travelled around
the country picking UP his living wherever
he could find it with the least effort Ills
normal condition was stage of complete
intoxication. Two years ago he fell into the
hands OF some good samarltans, who sue
ceeded in getting him started right, and
since that time he has been an exemplary
member of society, with plenty of work to
do and a happy family OF wife and two
children. His reformation vas supposed to
be complete and he became Il pillar in the
Methodist church of Nicola Some time ago
he contracted wi Ii a Mrs. Downs to build
a house for her. He was anxious to do the
work as cheaply as possible and represented
to her that IL she would give him money and
let him come down to Council Bluffs and buy
the lumber he could save her considerable
money. The proposition was accepted and
Mrs. Downs gave him S35 to apply on ihe
lumber bill. Immediately after reaching
the city he wandered into temptation and
fell very hard. He INDUCED in contnu-

brought to the attention of the grand jury

Trolley Party Fad.
The newsboys and bootblacks took troll
ley ride last night. For several hours and
until they finally launched upon their trip
they were very much in evidence. Crowds
of people lined the streets watching the
progress of the cavalcade and by their fire.
uuent plaudts showed that others besides
the boys were enjoying the evening.
1t was a period long to be remembered in
the history of several hundred OF Omaha S
most lusty-lunged and promising young
"business men," The event did not come
off without much preparation. The arrange
ments leading up to 1t have been in steady
progress for days and in consequence the
troupe of "Mogy's boys" marched about the
streets from point to point ike pahd OF
trained militia. Every squad had Its leader
and by dint of continual drilling, which has
been carried on for some nights past upon
South Eighteenth street, the art OF military
drill had been acquired.
"Mogy" Bernstein, the bootblack king,
acted as grand chief marshal Arrayed in
a glistening black tile and full dress suit he
sat in a special carriage and called his
forces to order for marching, about 1880, at
the corner of Eighteenth and Farnam
streets. Assistant Grand Chief Marshal Joe
Thomas on horseback led the cavalcade.
Next came the Y. NJ. G. A. Boys band In
white uniform; next in order the pootpiach
king and his carriage, and, following in line,
about 400 newsboys and bootblacks. Passing
down Farnam street, The Bee, "Mogy 3
Place and the World Herald were serenaded.
The line of march was then taken over Tenth
street to Douglas street and thence to
sixteenth street down to Schaefers drug
store. where the boys were given a iunch
consisting of sandwiches, apples, Lemonade
and rootbeer. This, as well as the trolley
ride, was the donation of Mr.. Schaefer and
he was Justify cheered. "Mogy" made a
speech, thanking him for the entertainment,
after which there were more cheering and
more music. The ride was commenced from
the corner at Fifteenth and Farnam streets
about o'clock and extended over the vari-
GUS parts of the city.

EVENTS AT THE ROADSTER RACE.
Fifteen Hundred People Witness Some
Good wprI<

Fifteen hundred people spent the hottest
afternoon OF the season yesterday enjoying
the splendid race program provided by the
Gentemen's Roa lister club for its regular
matinee at the Union Driving park. 1t was
too oppressively hot to permit any effort
toward making speed records but, consider
ing the weather and the condition of the
track, the promoters had no reason to feel
ashamed Of the time made in the various
events. The clubs invitation to the women
was very generally accepted, and more than
two-thirds of the spectators were women.
Dalbey's band furnished the music. There
were four events carded, and the last race
was not finished until after o'clock.
The first event was a half mile trot be-
tween Oscar Younkermans sorrel colt Goldie
and j. NJ. Palmers brown geding Dick. II
required three heats to settle 1t, and Dick
won the last two and tho race. Time: 1888.
1:26 and 1:2S 1-5.
The second race was a half mile trot.
There were six entries, but four Of the
horses were scratched on account of the in
tense heat. The race was between j. NJ.
Pusey's brown mare Linwood and c. A. JEFF
fries brown mare Nellie Gay. Linwood won
the first two heats and the race in 1;26lh
and 1:2Sh.
The third event was the Council Bluffs
doctors race, 1t required four heats to set
tie it. DR.. Don Macraes chestnut sorrel
Edinburg won the second and fourth heats
and the race in 1;35. DR.. Seybert's brown
gelding Pat MacMahon took the third heat
in 1888. DR.. ]. c. Robertson's brown geld
ing Jack Gentry was third and DR.. Water
mans Brown Dick was fourth. The fourth
event was mile mixed race. Only two of
the horses originally entered competed for
the prizes. They were l.. Hollis Maxey and
A. w. Wyman's George. A new horse,
Probability, won the first two heats in 2:42h
and 2:3S MaXey was second and George
third.
The last event in the cool of the evening,
when the thermometer only indicated 9S,
was half mile running dash, which was
won by Ida Black in 54 seconds.
| The matinee the most pleasant and
| interesting that has yet been given by the
| club and establishes the reputation of the
| owners for giving good clean racing events.

The democrats have had some little diff
Guilty in securing a building suitable for
their headquarters. Arrangements had been
made prior to the vacation of the east half
Of the Eiseman building to lease it, The
republican campaign committee had previ-
ously leased the west half and the march
ing clubs were using the upper floors The
delay of the democrats in taking possession
of their portion of the building and fitting
II up encouraged the idea that they were
not intending to do SO. The republicans
then stretched a Mckinley and Hobart
streamer clear across the front of the build
ing. This almost broke the hearts of the
democratic campaign committee. The stua-
tion was discussed in the club meeting on
Thursday night and the committee was au-
thoriZed to cancel it's lease il the republican
managers would not consent to take down
the streamer and agree to occupy only one
half of the front of the building The two
committees had pleasant conference yes
terday and the wishes of the democrats very
willingly gratifed. Each club will only
decorate it's own half of the building and
there will be no occasion for any feeling
The central figure in the republican decora-
tions will be a mammoth oil painting of Nc

who have seen it pronounce 1t to be piece

Many persons in South Omaha question the
advisability of the Board OF Education build
ing two room frame school house on the
property on Twenty-sixth street near NJ
street. The High school has been over
crowded for number of years and 1t has
been necessary to rent outside rooms to
accommodate all of the pupils. Every year
the attendance is Increasing, and Superin-
tendent Munroe has urged the board to make
some changes at the High school building
in order to provide room for pupils. At
present the board is renting the second
and N streets, for which $50 a month is
paid for nine months and $40 a month for
the three summer months This makes a
total of S2l0 year rental, which includes
heat. An eX-member of the Board OF Edu-
cation was talking about the proposed build
ing yesterday, and he said "A two room
frame building will cost at least $1,000 to
build, exclusive of a heating plant and coal.
That would amount to at the start, five
years rent of the rooms in the Abrams
block which accommodate from eighty to
ninety pupils. 1t will be short time only
until an eight or twelve room building in
the district between n and Q streets will
be an absolute necessity, and | think the
building of a two-room annex would be
squandering the peoples money. Another
with the present arrangements the board can
get along very nicely until the time comes
when it will have money enough to put up
a large, substantial building.
Several other eX-members spoke of the
matter in about the same strain,

In Justice Cooks court yesterday a very
much tangled civil case occupied the time of
lot of attorneys and the court. Some time
ago John West, a veterinary surgeon, turned
over team of horses to John G. Sullivan to
liquidate $50 grocery bill. The property
was conveyed through a regular bill of sale,
but the instrument was not recorded
promptly. Some time after another creditor
of West sued him and obtained judgment for
$50. An execution was issued and the horses
were attached, but before the attachment
papers were served the bill of sale was
placed on record. Sullivan brought a suit
in replevin against Sheriff Morgan who held
the horses under the attachment. The case
was tried yesterday. The matter was taken
under advisement until Monday afternoon.
George Snyder, a former employe of the
Mclaughlin Manufacturing company, swore
out a writ Of attachment in Justice Cook S
court yesterday to secure $25 of unpaid
wages. An officer of the court went down to
Manawa and seized lot of machinery belt
ing and tools. Later in the day the Council
Bluffs Coal and Ice company took the same
steps to secure claim of 1872 so and all the
machinery in the Manawa shops that was
not covered by the first attachment was
seized. Mclaughlin, the head of the firm,
