ATLANTIC, Ia, July 4.-(Special) l)-At-
lantic celebrated in old-fashioned style e.
day. Over 5000 people were in attendance
owing to the fact that Atlantic has prac-
tically the only celebration in the county.
Despite the cloudy morning, the crowd came
early and was on hand to witness the Drade
at 1870, which was the finest one that has
ever been given in this city. All the lead
ing business houses, including the imple-
ment dealers dry goods people. hardware,
lumber, clothing and newspapers were repre-
sented. A prize was awarded for the most
beautifully decorated turnout and was cap
tured by Miss Steinke with a team of ponies
and buggy handsomely arrayed. Colonel j.
j. Steadman of Council Bluffs was the orator
of the day and made an eloquent Address,
dealing with questions of the hour The
afternoon was given up to athletic sports
and ball game between Atlantic and Girls
void. This evening there was a magnif-
cent display of fireworks.

DAYS. GENERALLY OBSERVED
Business is Suspended While Citizens Cele-
brate the National Holiday.
CROWDS THRoNG THE PLEASURE RESORTS
Fnirmount park visited by Many Pie
mic Parties from Omahn-Lnke
Mannwn and Manhattan Beach
Prove Popular Attractions.

Although there was no public celebration
such as marked the Fourth OF July in the
good old days, stll yesterday was observed
as a general holiday in Council Bluffs. Many
of the larger stores kept closed all day
while others we're open for business in the
morning, but shut their doors promptly at
noon. All the city and county offices were
closed with the exception OF the Office ot
clerk OF the district court, which was kept
open for the benefit of the government
pensioners, yesterday being the quarterly
pension day and from to 10 o'clock Clerk
Reed and his assistants were kept busy
| certifying to pension vouchers.
,. Everybody seemed intent on having good
time and making as much as possible of the
holiday. The Omaha exposition attracted
many, especially in the evening, and at
Lake Manawa the largest crowd OF the sea-
son was gathered. From noon the trains
were crowded and the plaza was packed
with dense throng. The management had
provided an excellent entertainment which
seemed to suit the crowd, judging from the
generous applause the artists were accorded.
Manhattan Beach also drew its share of the
crowd and in the early part of the evening
many of the visitors enjoyed the bathing
on the far side of the lake. The two steam
ers were literally patronized, as were the
numerous small rowbOatS. Many OF the Wis
itors took their luncheons with them and
scattered over the grounds were a number
OF family picnic parties.
Fairmount park caught the biggest crowd
of the day. This was due in great measure
to the many picnic parties from Omaha that
enjoyed an outing at this beautiful resort
In the morning six of the large motors
brought two Sunday school picncs from
across the river direct to the park and the
young folks were very much in evidence
romping through the glens and over the
hills. Not for several years has Fairmount
park witnessed so many picnic parties
Groups of holiday seekers, enjoying their
lunches on the greensward, were to be seen
on every side. In fact, the park seemed
literally alive with people.
The celebration of the glorious Fourth
commenced with the setting in of dusk Mon
day evening and continued we'll on into the
night and was renewed at daybreak yester
day. The sale of firecrackers was the
largest for many years and young America
certainly made the most of the day. The
weather clerk was on his good behavior and
the day in this, as in other respects, was
all that could be desired

Mind your own business" said the voice,
sharply. Why will you persist in meddlng
in my affairs? What claim have you upon
me- anyhow? You are so annoying! You
fatigue me dreadfully, indeed you do! "Oh,

bars from II Trovatore'

amusement from being roasted like this,
and l arose to take my leave, feeling just

II had got this far when Miss Thursby

somewhat puzzled expression around her

there sat on top OF an easel her famous
parrot. The parrot eyed me humorously for
second, and then burst into a ha-ha-ing
that threatened to deprive him of all his

for that reason.

speaking tones was almost perfect, as I
observed when she spoke. He could sing
and talk in nine languages. I understood:

GUILE OF \ WOMAN.
Experience Of n MiIkshnke Mnn who
Had Routed Rn Italian.

He keeps a sweet milk, buttermlk and
mlkshake' stand on Park row, right out in
| front of the big newspaper offices, reports
the New York Sun. He has a good stand,
and he knows 1t, and does not propose to
| share 1t with any one. So it happened that
| when an Italian fruit vender approached
that corner the other night with the evident
| intention Of dividing the trade, the milk
stand man defended his monopoly with
vigor, dispatch and big club.
Cit away from here!' he commanded.
The Italian grinned and approached still
| nearer.
Cit away from here, l tell ye" repeated
| the man with the club, and he braced the
same against the fruit mans cart and gave a
| vigorous push The Italian was good at
pushing, too, and gave evidence OF it. So
| the other resorted to more active measures
| and brandished the club so violently and in
| such close proximity to the fruit vender S
| skull that the next command OF "Git out o.
| here, right off," was promptly obeyed, and
| the bananas and oranges wandered further
| down the street, while the ferocious dis
penser OF most peaceful beverages returned
| triumphantly to his place of business and
| slowed away his weapon in rack above his
head.
| She was a red d-headed girl with go-and-
| see and -find-out sort of air, and she stood
watching the proceedings from n neighboring
curbstone with no small degree of interest.
| After the Italian had retreated she slowly
| approached the withstand.
| do you sell milk shakes when you're
home from the wars?" she asked, gravely.
The man grnned. TRY to-" he replied.
Have one?"
Isn't any danger OF that persuader falling
down on a customer, suppose?" she pur-
sued '-.
81 keep that to chase Dagoes WITH" he ex-
planned.
Got a lien on this corner?"
"Not exactly, but-well l just belong
here and he smiled confidently.
She nodded. II understand. Suppose you
give me strawberry and vanilla" she sug-
gested
He took down an unopened bottle OF straw
berry syrup and began trying to draw the
cork with his teeth.
"Corkscrew?" tentatively.
Got one?" he asked.
Sorry No use for it," she replied
Guess I'll give you orange"
TRY hairpin." at the same time offer
ing him one of those useful articles.
Il don't have no luck with it," he said
after a few unsuccessful attempts
"I'll show you how" she volunteered.
I'm or out don't make no difference, Just
so the syrup runs" he told her. and after a
few deft prods she presented to him the
broken cork on the end of the hairpin.
Keep that to remember me by" she said
and then turned her attention to the refresh
ing drink and strolled away.
She's a good enough sort" commented
the withstand man to bystander
Guess that's right" answered he. But
who paid for that drink"
"Hully gee!" cried the man and gazed
ruefully at the bent hairpin and the broken
cord. "She forgot that, didn't she?"
