Difficulties successfully Surmou,t.d
ny u couple from Auburn Neb.
pustaV W.. Klein and Odelie r. Fritch, a
young couple from Auburn, Neb., took ad-
vantage or the excursion rates Yesterday
ana decided to come to Council Bluffs and
celebrate the national holiday by getting
married. The course of true love never did
run smooth, it is said, and this the Young
couple fully realized yesterday before they
managed to have the which made
them man and wife performed.
o reaching the city on an early morning
train they made their way straight to the
county court house to secure the necessary
license and right here they met with the
first obstacle. The court house was closed
and the clerk Of the district court and his
deputies were enjoying a holiday. Nothing
daunted they secured the address of Clerk
Reed and were fortunate enough to find him
at home. Mr.. Reed accompanied the young
couple back to the court house and made
thelr hearts glad by filling out the desired
marriage license. Then they started out to
lind a justice of the peace to tie the matri-
monial knot. First they tried the Office
of Justice Terrier, only TO learn that he
and a party of friends had gone to Lake
Manawa. From there they wendell their
way to Justice ViCn's office, where they
round four congenial spirits willing away
the time playing a rubber of whist. The
squire himself had just gone with his
family to spend the day AT Lake Manawa.
They then tried Justice Burke's place, only
to find that he had gone fishing, whether
for hsh or the nomination on the democratic
ticket for judge OF the district court they
did not learn, however. For some reason
or another it never occurred to the young
couple to secure the services of a minister
of one of the churches and they decided
that as two of the justices were at Lake
ManaWa that was the place for them to go,
When they arrived at Lake Manawa they
found that Justice Wen was on the Man
haitian side of the lake taking a swim and
that Justice Terrier was out rowing with a
party of young women friends. A mes
senger was dispatched across to Manhattan
beach to notify Justice Wen that his serv-
Ices were needed. Squire Wen, when he
learned that he was wanted on the other
side OF the lake, lost no time in divesting
himself OF his bathing suit and resuming his
everyday attire and took the first steamer
over, AT the landing the couple were wait
ing for him anXiously and with a reporter
for The Bee as witness the squire per-
formed the ceremony on the front porch OF
Colonel Reeds cottage. After congratula-
tons had been extended Mr.. and Mrs. Klein
not half a dozen people in the big crowd
at the lake knew that a marriage had been
celebrated there,

SOUTH CELEBRATES THE DAY
For the First Time Since the Ciyil
War Atlanta Observes the
Fourth of July.

ATLANTA. Ga, July 1.-THE nations
birthday was celebrated in Atlanta for the
first time since the civil war. The demon
! s~tration was precipitated at midnight,
when the announcement of Admiral Samp-
sons crushing blow to the Spanish fleet was
conveyed to the sleeping city in a general
alarm by the fire department and the
scrCeching of a score of locomotives in the
railway yards. This was followed later by
a fusillade of cannon shots which the en-
thusiastic citizens continued for some time.
The city was handsomely decorated, the
state capitol and governors mansion being
lavishly draped in the national colors for
the first time on this day for a quarter of a
century. All places of business were closed
and the holiday was general. There were
flag raisings, accompanied by appropriate
ceremonies, at nearly twenty manufactures
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 4.-Thousands

break and the national colors were hoisted
at the state house.
News of SIMPSONS victory was received
with much enthusiasm and great crowds
surrounded the bulletin boards which had
been erected on the grounds for their con-
venience.
MOBILE, Ala, July 4.-For the first time
in thirty-eight years Mobile publicly hon
ored the Fourth of July 1t did it unani-
mously and with its whole soul. The city

societies turned out and with bands of
music, flags and profusion of fireworks made

EVERYBODY TAKES DAY OFF
Council Bluffs People Celebrate by Going
Somewhere from Home.
NEARLY ALL VISIT THE EXPOSITION
Thousands swell the ThronEs mt the
Fair, aud other Thousands Go
10 Mnnnwn and Paramount
Park.
NEARLY ALL VISIT THE EXPOSITION

The citizens of Council Bluffs celebrated
the national holiday yesterday by a general
exodus from the city, and from noon when
the stores closed until well in the evening,
the streets presented an almost deserted APP
perance. Everybody went somewhere to
spend the day. As was to be expected, the
exposition proved the strongest drawing
card and from early morning until after
noon the motors on the Omaha line were
filled with good natured crowds with the big
show across the river as their objective
point. This morning trains on all railroads
brought in large numbers from the adjoin-
ing towns who had come to spend the day
taking in the exposition. Few of them tar
ried in Council Bluffs, but boarded the mo-
tors at the depots intent on reaching the
famous exposition as soon as they could
SO as to have the whole day to view its
many attractions. All the stores of the
city closed at noon and the employees took
advantage of the holiday in almost every
instance to visit the exposition. The teach
ers who are attending the county institute
helped swell the throng that journeyed
across the river. Lake Manawa was not
without its crowd, however, and between
1000 and 5000 people gathered there
during the afternoon, the attendance
being the biggest in the evening. The day
was an ideal one for a visit to the lake and
the cool breeze that blew across the waters
made rowing a delightful pleasure and in
consequence every skiff and row boat was
in constant demand all the afternoon and
evening. A number of family picnic par
ties were to be seen scattered among the
shady trees and many visitors enjoyed the
bathing at Manhattan beach.
Many people, including large numbers
from Omaha, visited Fairmount park during
the day, and a number of families picnicked
amidst its woody glens. The view from
Paramount park at night of the exposition
with its myriads of electric lights is like a
scene from fairyland and the electrical en-
gineers who made a special trip to the park
one night last week to take in the scene
pronounced it the most beautiful they had
ever seen.
During the greater part of the day as be-
fore stated the streets were almost deserted,
and there was nothing to disturb the peace
of the community. The man with a ten
dency to become inebriated on such occa-
sions as yesterday was conspicuous by his
absence, and the police were not called
upon to make an arrest the entire day. The
usual amount of crackers were exploded by
the small boy and his older brothers, but
no accidents were reported. This year more
than ever it seemed that every small boy
and even some of the larger were provided
with a revolver and blank cartridges which
they exploded with deafening noise upon
every street corner.

An old Wrong Avenged.

WOoDBINE, Ia. July A-(Special.)-The
mystery surrounding the murder of DIR. w.
F Swisher Of this place has not been cleared
up, but 1t has been learned that the doc
tor lived for many years in West Virginia
and had trouble there which compelled him
to come west. He wronged a young woman,
whose brother swore vengeance and declared
he would have Swisher's blood IL he should
follow him a lifetime. 1t is now believed
that the assailant was this brother. The
story had never been known here. Swisher
had stood well and a year after he came
here married, his wife having died about
two years ago. Authorities are working on
the new clue, believing they can trace the
movements of the mysterious brother. They
have begun at the West Virginia end to
work up the case, declining to make known
the name of the man they want.
