Death of Nine. LAFAYETTE.

Nine. de Lafayette survived her I'M
prisonment 10 years, dying in 1907, in
her forty-seventh year. Lafayette,
writing of her last illness to a near
friend, said: you have always found
me stronger than circumstance, but
this event is stronger than |. During
the 81 years Of union, in which her
tenderness, her goodness, the eleva-
ton Of her mind charmed, adorned,
honored my life, I felt myself so used
to all that she was to me that l could
not distinguish it from my own exist
ence. She was IA and l was 16 when
her heart occupied itself with every
thing that could interest me. Indul-
gent as she was with respect to cal
jimmy and party hatred, never did she
allow, even at the foot of the scaffold:
a reflection upon me to pass without
protesting against it"
Return to Paris.
When Monroe was recalled from
France he found a friend in Jefferson,
who wrote to him as though it was the
simplest thing in nature: Come to
congress '-for he must resume his
public career. This was accomplished
through his election as governor of
Virginia. The public at large ap-
proved his extreme glow" When
Jefferson was president he appointed
Monroe envoy extraordinary and mill
lister pIenipotentiary to France. Upon
his return there, when he entered the
theateTs the Paris orchestras played
Yankee Doodle and the audiences
made frantic demonstrations in his
honor Mrs Monroe was brilliant

DON'T WANT A TRIAL.

Allison and Riley, the Louis.
Vile Herald libeIlers, who stand
indicted in the Livingston circuit
court, appeared in court last week
and gave bond for their app ear
ance.
While pleading innocence thro'
their lying sheet they did not
want a trial at this term Of co urt.
Commonwealth Attorney, John
l.. Grayot, announced that the
Commonwealth was ready for trial
but the defendants, through their
attorney, asked for time and the
case was set for the Decem Der
term.
We are surprised that the gen.
tlemen, who claim they were in
dicted for political purposes, did
not take advantage of the opportu-
nifty for immediate vindication.
strange it is indeed
The fact is, the defendants we'll
know they have wilfully libeled
McChesney, and that when they
are tried they will have to pay the
penalty. Therefore they do not
want trial and the facts put be-
fore the people before the presi-
dental election. That they asked
for a continuance of the case is
an admission of this fact.-Ban-

pecuIinr Result of Contests over

Club.

The meeting yesterday afternoon Of the
Council Bluffs Woman's club to nominate
officers for the ensuing year proved as ex-
citing as had been anticipated. The two
factions met clashed and both came out
of the battle victorious. The faction known
as the "antis" claimed a victory. as they
nominated their candidate for president,
while the other faction also claimed
victory from the fact that they succeeded
in having the action of the board In franz
ing a new rule to govern the nominations
partially rescinded. The new rule pro-
vided that no further nominations could
be made from the floor on the day OF cleo
ton and the members opposed to this,
what they termed arbitrary ruling OF the
board succeeded in having 1t amended so
that on the day OF election nominations
might be made to fill vacancies. After the
meeting both sides appeared to be we'll
satisfied with the outcome.
Half OF the entire membership OF the
club was named for the ONCE OF president,
but one after the other declined with the
exception OF Mrs. F. W. Miller, the candi-
date Of the 'antis," and unless she resigns
between this and the day Of election she
will be the next president Of the club.

SUNDAY DROUTH AT MANAWA
County Attorney Says No Liquor viii Be
Sold There on that Day.
APPLIES SAME RULE AS IN THE CITY
some Question whether He Has
JurisdictiOn over the Manhattan
Beach side of the
Resort.

The Sunday closing law. which County
Attorney Killpack enforced among the
saloons OF Council BLUFFS will also be en-
forced at Lake Manawa this summer. This
was the authoritative statement OF Mr.
Killpack yesterday, who said: There will
be no more liquor sold at Lake Manawa
on Sundays this summer than will be by
the saloons Of this city" This statement
was made by the county attorney in re-
sponse to a query whether there was any
truth in the report that the officials OF
the motor company had been assured that
there would be no interference this season
in the sale Of liquor at the lake resort on
Sundays. Further Mr.. Killpack said the
question required no argument, the saloons
in the city we're required to close on Sun
days and the same rule would prevail
at Lake Manawa.
In addition to the refreshment pavilion
in the plaza at Lake Manawa, where liquor
is sold, there are three saloons outside the
grounds Of the resort proper and these
will also have TO abide by the Sunday clos
ing order. 1t is a question, however. whether
County Attorney Killpack will be able to
stop the sale OF liquor on the Manhattan
beach side OF the lake, as this Is said TO
he on Nebraska soil. The enforcement OF
the Sunday closing order, 1t is conceded,
will materially affect the patronage OF the
lake resort this summer and drive large
number OF pleasure seekers to Courtland
beach or other resorts in Omaha
