THE DAILY BEE--COUNCIL BLUFFS, FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1883. THE_DAILY BEE. COUNCIL BLUFFS. Friday Morning, July 27, + SUBSCRIPTIGN RATES: OFFICE: No. 7 Pear] Street, Near Broadway. MINOR MENTION. Additional iocal on seventh page. The Baptists had a pleasant social at the church parlors last evening. The teacher's institute continues to grow in numbers and interest. P.J. Boysen and Emma Henrickson are among the latest to get leave to wed. The Presbyterian sociable was indefi- nitely postponed last night on account of the weather. The trees in Baylis's park are being trimmed pretty freely, and it begins to look likea general clearing. The office occupied by E. A. Becker and P, Overton, an Firstavenue, is being refitted and repaired in a fine manner. Pote Grady, an employe of the Rock Island railway, had one of his fingers badly crushed ' while coupling cars at Harlan, Thomas Smith was_called on yesterday to pay about €8 for the privilego of get- ting drunk and resisting officer Cusick who arrested him, A son of W. E. Elwell, living a short distance south of Walnut, caught his hand in a corn sheller a day or two ago and now has but two fingers left. Walnut has contributed £147 for the relief of the family of Mr. Maddy, who was killed in capturing the Polk City murderers, Altogether about 81,000 has been raised. One committee of the Methodist con- ference yesterday reported: “We find that the several preachers here have been more or less faithful.” A very safe re- port to make surely. Skelton, Hendricks & Rice is the title of a new merchant tailoring firm who have leased rooms in the Burnham block fronting on Main street, and_expect to open business there about the firat of August, The powder house cases were yester- day granted another continuance of two weeks in which to finda new location. There seems to be difficulty in securing 1and for this purpose, and it is said that if there is not someopening soon these houses will be moved to Omaha, An illegitimate child was born in the r house one night last week. Its mother is a German gir! about twenty- five years old who lately came to this eountry in search of her lover who had seduced her under promise of marriage. America proved to be a great deal larger than she had anticipated and consequent- ly she failed to find him. She arrived in Crawford county with her means ex- hausted and being without friends she was compelled to go to the poor house.— Denison Bulletin. There was a quiet little wedding in Justice Vaughan's office yesterday after- noon, bywhich J. W, Crooks became the lawful husband of Miss Ida Tinnell, both of this city, The couple in this case did not receive the congratulations of the bride's father, however hearty may he the congratulations of others. To the old man it was a complete surprise, and on hearing of it, he was indignantly rush- ing around to find out how in the world they got a license and who tied the knot. His chief trouble seemed to be that the girl was too young, he claiming that she was only thirteen, and a mere girl in size as well as in years, She claimed to be soventeen, however, and having the needed license, the knot was firmly tied. The parties lately came to this city from Plattsmouth, A few monthsago a colored man visited Omaha and this city pretending to be collecting money for a church in Des Moines. The fellow’s actions were such a8 to do little credit to any church, and some of the Omaha papers showed him up in rather an unenviablo light, Here he was ‘arrested for obtaining money under false pretenses. Some Des Moines paper copied the articles published by the papers here, and claimed that the man referred to was really the pastor of a church there, or had been, and that his disgraceful conduct was causing a great howl on the part of the members of the church. The colored minister referred to eame to the first man with an explanation ' that he is not the man that was in Coun- «il Bluffs and Omaha, and not that sort of fellow. He has commenced a libel suit against the Des Moines paper, and was yesterday in the clty looking up the matter to secure testimony that he was not the one who was here, and to got other facts to disprove the charge. He claims to be able to prove a strong alibi. The statement that the insanity of Mrs, Blackert is thought to be due in part t, injuries muiudg at the hands of a deaf and dumb man, with whom she and her husband had a difficulty is a mistake. Instead of the mute being the defendant in the case now pending, he 1s the prose- cuting witness, and complains of Mr. Blac] dor assaulting him, and that is the case which has been so long pending, and which has had so many continu- ances. — — Bome s) bargains in furniture and household goods are now being offered by Mandel, — —— MAKING A BREAK. Auorneys Trying to Kmnock the License Ordinance to Pleces, There has been considerable mutter- ing among some of the expressmen in regard to the license demanded of com- mon carriers, the chief point of the com- plaint seeming to be that the city did not protect them in their business, but let unlicensed teams compete for business, A number of the expressmen refused to take out the license this year, their old ones lu\w expired July 1. They were complained of and yesterday the mater came up in the superior court on a ques- tion iovolving the valdity of the ity ordinance. numerous other licenses aye involved in the same ordinance, the upon the question will more or Attorneys )bym and Hunter ap- for the city and Attorneys’ Sears . or the expressmen. The not show that any such ordinance was ed on the date stated in the mhlm!ml form, that there were several subject matter in the ordinance, and the title did not clearly indicate the nature of the ordinances; also, that the so-called license was really tax upon a useful ocoupation. These points, with some others, were argued quite sharply and closely, ‘many authorities were cited, and quite a legal contest had, occupying much of the day. The contest will be resumed to-day. CHURCH CONCERNS, The Methodist Preachers Finish Their Comference Session. The evening session was opened by Rev. M. R. Douglass, of Freemont City. The first address was on the subject of Home Missions, by Rev. F. Harris, of Farragut. He believed the Methodist church was the missionary church of the world, A missionary church always com- mands respect. A man could not be a Methodist unless he was a true mis- He showed how much mission- ary work was being done, but said there was pressing need for more, here among the colored as well as the foreign popula- tion. Believed there was a large field which could be made to yield an abund. ant harvest right here in Council Bluffy, He was followed by Rev, J. M. Con- rad, of Farmer City, with an address on the work of the Church Extension socie- ty. Many were surprised to learn the magnitude of this work- The society, he claimed, was building Methodist churches at the rate of two every day, and would soon increase the number to three a day. Some 00 Methodist: churches have been erected in the past seventeen years. The last address of the evening was Rev. A. E. Griffith, of Glenwood, who discussed the theme, ‘“The Missionary Spirit Essential to Church Life.” After the opening of the Thursday morning session, Rev. P. F. Bresce, whose removal to the South California conference is noted in another column, re sionar) bade farewell to the conference and re-| viewed his labors while a member of it. The rest of the morning session was largely occupied by the reading and dis- cussion of the reports of the regular committees, The following is the text of the committee on Temperance, which was unanimously adopted: “Resolved: 1. That we are ns much as ever convinced of the gigantic wrong of the rum traftic, and realize if possible even more fully than ever before some- thing of the terribleness with which it strikes at the best interests of the home and the common weal. 2. That we_gratefully recognize the merciful overruling hand of God in arous- ing the convictions of the people on this question, and in causing what seemed to bo a great calamity—the loss of the pro- hibitory amendment to the constitution— to be 8o overruled as to cause a great party to take it up and make it their ral- lying cry, thus insuring proper legislation and such popular sentiment as will secure its enforcement. “3, That we, as a_district conference, pledge ourselves to do all we can, in the pulpit, on the platform, at the ballotbox, and in society, to secure constitutional and statutory prohibition, and we deem it the duty of every good citizen to artay himself on the side of the home and good government, and against the saloons and lawlessness.” The characters of the local preachers, deacons and elders were passed upon, and several new ones licensed to preach. A. E. Griffith, of Glenwood, was rec- ommended for deacons’ orders, and 8, L. Stephens, of Glenwood, for elders’ orders. The ordination papers of Dr. Bolton, of Shenandoah, were recognized and he en- rolled as second deacon. C. Brown, of Little Sioux, A. C. Raw- lis, of Malvern, L. B. Wicker, of Shen- andoah, were recommended for admis- sion to the traveling connection, At 12 o'clock the conference adjourned. In the afternoon there were addresses of much interest. Rev. C. L. Nye pre- sented a paper on “Pulpit Work,” Rey. Mr, Bresee gave a very interesting talk on “‘Denominationalism.” Rev. W. 0. Smith, “of Woodbine, enlightened the brethren on “The Use of Books in Pul- pit Preparations.” the transaction of some business of an uninteresting nature to the general pub- lic then adjourned. Bound for California, Rev. Mr. Bresee, who has had his re- lationship changed from this Mothodist conference to the Southern California conference, expects to leave for Los An- geles in about three weeks. That con- forence meots ¢ u September, and he will then receive his appointment to some definite charge. One of the reasons for the move is his wife's health, which, it is hoped, a climatic change may im- prove, 'The building of o new and large Methodist church here, to which special work he was assigned at the last confer- ence, has been indefinitely postponed, it being found that the individual losses by the flood, and other circumstances, ren- dered it best to postpome the plan until next year at least, and Mr, Bresee not feeling that he could spond the meantime in activity. The enterprise may, in' the future. take a fresh start, and some other live man be socured to carry it to successful comple- tion, The district conference, at its session whish closed yesterday afternoon, passed the following resolutions, and they are expressive of the feclings of many = more friends throughout the state: ‘Waereas, Information has been re- ceived from Bishop Simpson of the trans- fer of Brother P, i‘ Bresee to the South California conference, therefore Resorven, That while we submitcheer- fully to the action of our general snper- intendent, we deeply regret parting with our dear brother and his wise counsels. We feel that we cannot too highly ap- preciate his faithful services rendered to the chureh in these years of patient toil for the Master, And in going from us wo pray that God's choicest blessings may accompany him and his family to their new field, and that their labors may be attended with as much success in the fu- ture as they have been in the past. We do most cheerfully recommend him to the fellowship of the brethren where he goes, and should he desire to return to this conference we will extend to him a cor- dial welcome, W. R. Dovaras, C. L.

The Harlan Tribune devotes much of its space this week to the giving of facts concerning the lynching of Wm. Hardy, one of the Polk City murderers, The editor of that paper was among the first on the ground and met Jailer Watkins and his wife running across the street, the former having his hands tied. On being released from the bondage, they started back to jail to see if the other prisoners were safe. They found one of them named Benedict looking like a ghost, his face pale as death, and his glaring like those of a madman. Another one, Rankin, was dancing with glee, that he was not the one who was waltzed off at the end of a rope. Stan- ley, who was arrested as being among the horse thieving gang arrested on the Mis- souri bottoms last week, was found stand ing very erect and quiet, crowded in a corner well out of view. It is claimed that the leader of the lynching party was not masked, and _did all the talking, The others had their faces covered with mosquito netting, and kept silent, Hardy's body measured six feot two inches, five inches more than what Hardy claimed in life to be his height. When the vigilantes came after Hardy he jumped from his couch in the cell, shook hands with his fellow prisoners and remarked, “‘Good-hy boys, they are after me,” and then calinly watched the process of opening the doors. Entering the cell the men tied his hands behind him, placed the noose over his neck, and led him out. The only remark he made , “If you hang me, you hang an inno- Rankin, one of the prisoners, thinks he knows one of the lynchers by name, but refuses to tell the name. A double barrelled shot-gun has been found near the scene of the hanging, but no one seems disposed to come to the front and claim the ownership. — DAKOTA, The Experiences of a Councii Bluffs Young Lady Roughing It. The following portions of a personal letter written to Dr, Poulson, of this city, by a young lady, a teacher in the public schools, will prove interesting, not only to her many friends but to the gen- eral reader: Kmpary, Dakota, July 20.—We left Council Bluffs Tuesday morning, and ar- rived in Sioux City about 11 o'cleck. Thére we had to take a boat and go about four miles up the river on account of the track being washed out. As we neared the landing I thought we should all be dashed to picces, the current seemed so very swift and the engineer either would nat or could not slacken the speed of the boat. As we mneared the shore the passengers crowded down to the front to be the first on shore. I saw we were going to be dashed against the shore and Fad just time to step back and brace myself for he shock when it came. I thought the boat would be dashed to pieces. The boards were splintered and several things about the boat broken, We finished the remainder of our jour The conference after | 4, ney to Kimball without any further ad- venture. There we waited a day and night to get rested, the boys being nearly tived to death. Thursday morning we started in a loaded spring wagon for the trip into the country, 22 miles. The sun was ver{vhot and the wind blew a perfect gale. When we got to the shanty I found the roof half off and the door off and the other half would not open sufficient to put our things inside. I rode over to Sulphur Springs, two and a half miles, to get a man to come and re- pair the house. He did 8o, and soon our traps and ourselves were settled inside the littlo 10 by 12 shanty. I got a little supper and fixed the beds. Things were beginning to look a little more cheerfuly but we little knew what was in store for us. Presently we heard a noise outside like the surging of a thousand teakettles. We rushed to the oor to meet an army of mosquitoes, each about the size of a grasshopper. They pounded on_the docr and window, and at the sides of the house. The battle begun; dead and woundd fell in every direction, but they never flinched. What were three poor mortals against a billion of mosquitoes! About two o'clock in the morning a little diversion was created by means of a terrific rain_storm, accompan- ied by thunder and lightning, that made our hair stand on end. We got up dressed and put on our rubber overcoats, for the shanty leaked all over, and hud- dled together holding an umbrella over us. I expected every moment the shanty would go over, as the wind was blowin fearfully; still, in spite of the danger, i laughed till I eried, the situation sepmed 80 ridiculous. By the next night, how- cver, we were protty well fixed, the cracks were all stopped up and nettings at the door and windows, we made a big smoke which drove the little pests all out, then sat out the table and chairs, and brought in the hedding which w2 had had out in the sun drying all day, Wo went to bed and slept sweetly until about two in the morning, when I woke up the boys and told them to dress, as another wind storm had come up. It did no damuge, however, and to-day (Sunday), everything is all right, and we feel as easy and com{urubfu as possible, The boys find sufticient game to supply the tablo and we have a spring of water a short distance from the shanty, We get up and go to bed, dress and eat, just when we feel like it. The boys each have a gun and 1 have a revolver, which I can handle pretty well, and which is my protection when they go off hunting. The country is settling up remarkably fast, Last Spring when 1 was here could not see a shanty, now from wy door I can see two small towns and half a dozen houses within three-quarters of a mile. V.
