Chenap railroad tickets at Bushnell's, The United States court meets here on March 24th. Remember the noonday prayer meet- ing of the Y. M. C. A, The saloons were closed yesterday on account of the election. Spatter work was plenty yesterday and the crossings were horrikle, Glenwood has the district court as its leading attraction next week. Yesterday was a rather one-sided elec- tion so far as the city was concerned. The creek did not make as much of a muss yesterday as on the daybefore. The circuit court resumes business this morning, with Judge Lyman presiding. The republican city convention meets this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the court house. One man named Balin was assessed $7.60 on election morning for getting drunk the night before. A wagon with the Bavarian band and a banner *‘Vote for the court house,” did loave this sort of a life, and marry him, after refusal he, while drank, shot her = | but did not kill her. The w sman had & little girl whom Mr. Faul has caused to be placed in good hands, The mysterious silence of the demo- cratic organ of the city in regard to the action of the democratic city convention, proves protty clearly what has generally been supposed, that it will not support the regular nominee, W. R. Vaughan. Thero might be some curiosity felt as to what it would do, or who it would sup- port, if it were not felt that it makes no difference what position it takes. Mr. O. D. Reoves, the Hosier Drill company’s manager, has located his office with Messrs. James, Thomas & Co., who now do the transferring for this company. He is a jolly heavy-weight, and is as well-liked as he is well known, It is the intention of the Hoosier Drill company to erect a building here this spring, and the company evidently means to make its interests here permanent and prosper- ous, Ithas placed a geod man here to accomplish that end. J. C. Bixley has secured the agency of the Benner & Cole fire escape. This is the one that is now in use in nearly all the principal buildings in Chivago, and which was recently shown up so satin- factorily in Omaha, It consists of a stand-pipe with iron ladder and platform attached, and connections for each floor and at the top of the building. There are many buildings here and in Omaha which ought thus to be protected, and as Mr. Bixley is prepared to make prices within the reach of all, he should be in- terviewed by those 1nterested. Mr. Richardson gave another exhibi- tion at the roller skating rink. He is certainly skillful, aud the idea of a man getting around so easily on stilts takes wonderfully, especially by those who election duty yesterday. realizo by various sore spots and bruises Officer Beswick found on the strects a | that it is no easy matter to get around little bundle of velvet, which is awaiting | on skates without the stilt attachment. an owner at police headquarters. The ingenuity and enterprise shown by Bishop Merrill, of Chicago, is expect- | the msnagement in securing these novel od (o preach in the Broadway Methodist | entertainments aro causing the rink to church next SBunday morning and even: | bo more and more popular as a resort for ing. The ice skating rink season is over, but the roller skating rink does not de- pend on the weather, and laughs at thaws. Informations were yesterday filed agaiost delinquent saloon keepers, and now in addition to their regular license they will have costs l.ddod. Messrs George Parks and Clay Platner have bought out F. J. Osborne & Co. Mec. F. J. Osborne expects to go to Los Angeles, Cal,, to reside. F. R. Armstrong, who was brought be- fore Judge Aylesworth yesterday morn- ing ona charge of carrying concealed weapons, was discharged yesterday. Those who refuse to accept nomina- tions which their party desire to give them, should be the last to grumble after election if affairs do mot go to suit them. “‘Uncle” John Stone, while using an adz on the Main street bridge yesterday morning, accidentally cut his left ankle quite badly, and was taken to his home. Permits to wed were yesterday given to George Doyle and Emma J. Edgar, both of Oakland; also to Henry Fetchtel and Sarah Lye, both of Waveland town- ship. The I. 0. G. T. lodge of Crescent, is to have a festival on the bth of March, and Mr. Sears of this city has been en- gaged to deliver an address on the occa- sion. “‘Closed to vote' was the placard visi- ble on the front doors of several business places yesterday. The citizens generally seemed to realize the importance of at- tending the polls. Tho melting ice is causing bad work in warious parts of the city, water accumu- Tating and unable to ran off on account of 80 many streets being fiiled up and the culverts not yet put in, R. 8. Cole, who has been ill for about ten days, was yesterday in so low a con- dition that his friends had given up all hope of his recovery, and were expecting that death might come at any moment. There was sume sort of a street row near Stella Long's house Monday night, and a pistol shot was heard. A police- man hearing t 10 row turned and walked «off in the opposite direction without mak- ing an inquiry. It is oxpected that the Main street bridge will be completed to-dsy. Ray- mond & Campbell have evideutly done good work, and such asis in keeping with that which has caused them to gain so excellent a reputation as bridge builders. ‘The republican convention to-day must pick out a good man if it expects to beat Vaughan, The nominee must be one who has enterprise, grit, and a clean record, and one who will not only get the support of the party but can get the votes of the disaflected democrats, and then he will have to get up and climb to get there, 'W. H. Foster, the garcener and florist on Hamson street claims to have the dargest stock this of Chicago, and doubtless no one will dispute the claim, for he has seven large houses filled with plants. His catalogue shows a great warioty sud ought ¢ bein the hands of every one interested, It will be mailed on request, ' Ex-Coroner Faul circulated a petition @ short time ago for the pardon of one ‘Thomas Nagle, who had been sentenced ‘o the Wisoonsin penitentiary for five years for shoot'ng the woman with whom he had been living. Yesterday he re. ¥ Q‘ ummm.n..nw oo living free and ey life and abou! the beat classes of citizens. Rev. Father McMenomy was remem- bered on the thirtieth anniversary of his ordination, not only by those of his own flock, but by many of other beliefe, and the well wishes and kindly expressions given of him and his work indicates that he has a strong hold on the esteem of this community. In responding to the remarks of Mr. Vaughan in presenting him with the purse of gold, the reverend father courteously acknowledged that whatever success had attended him and his work, was due in part to non-Catho- lics as well as Catholics. The proprietor of the Chinese laundry on North Main street desires the public to understand that Archie Sparks, who committed suicide, died at No. 40 Main street, instead of No, 40 Main street, where his laundry is. His neighbors vouch for the fact that he is particular as to whom he rents his rooms, and that he allows no loose characters to lounge about. his place, nor does he keep an opium den. John has been in this country twelve years, and in his present place five years; has his hair cut short, puts his spare money into houses and lots, and owns two here already. He appears to attend strictly to the ‘‘washee’ busi- ness. e ———— PERSONAL, Mr. Regan, one of the firm of Regan Brow, & MocGorisk, who have the contract for pay- fog Broadway and Main streets, arrived in thocity yesterday. He says that with fa- vorable weather work will commence soon, Andy Brock, the officient book-keeper of Peregoy & Moore, has a new boy at his house. H.

Rusmussen to the Adventist arrived FURNISHING THE FACTS, Statement by the Baptist Church in Regard to the Home of the Friendless, This church has decided by a unani- mous vote to make public a statement in regard to the Home. We cannot, of course, be expected to reply to anony- mous articles. But in justico to the church and the work in which we are engaged we desire to say: 1. The Home of the Friendless asso- ciation was organized by our pastor, Rev. J. G, Lemen, March 16, 1883 —see coun- ty records, book 104, page 253, 2, The association extends its help to all, regardless of race or creed, and thankfully acknowledges the help it has received from citizens, regardless of church connections, many giving liber- ally who are members of no church. 3, The sssociation is an organization by its constitution and by-laws, auxil- liary to the Baptist church: Still it is open to all, of good moral character, rogardless of whether they belong to any church, All members of the association shall have an equal voice and vote in its counsels, save upon r‘luuuom relating to title to propert; the taking of the inatitution out from under the control of the Baptist denomination. In this vital sense it was in its founding, is now and shall ever remain a Baptist Home. 4. The property now owned by the as- sociation is vested in Rev. J. G. Lemen, as manager and trustee of the associa- tion, the deed expressly stipulating that if he attempts to divert it from the pur- poses contemplated in the articles of in- corporation, it shall at once vest in the American Baptist Home Mission society, of New York, and that society shall ap- point trustees to hold it for the use of the Home of the Friendless association, nf Cuuncil Bluffs, Ia. [See county rec- Thul it will be seen that the property is vested in such a way that no power on earth, no ohlnga in church management, no chlnge in sentiment of any man or body of men, can ever divert this prop- erty from the use for which it is in- tended. 1f the property were deeded to achurch, that church might finally, after thous- ands of dollars had been given, abandon the work and divert the property from the use intended by the donors. If it were deeded to the association it might become tired of the work and disband. But as it is, it can never be sold, and im- provements placed upon it are guaran teed to the ocity of gouncil Bluffs for- ever, We feel assured that all reasonable persons will be satisfied with the manner in which this property is vested. If they are not, however, let them direct their attacks against this church and its offi- cers, for we assume the whole of the re- sponsibility in the matter. 5. We have thus made a plain and full statement All who give will give un- derstandingly. We desiro no one to give supposing that he is giving to an in- stitution of a cercain mnature, when in fact it is of an entirely different nature. The institution is in a vital sense a Baptist institution. Its finances will be under the management of the regular officers of the Baptist church. But in every prac- tical sense it is an institution for the whole city, and all are asked to share its benefits and help in its upbuilding. To all who have aided our pastor, and through him the church, in this work in the past, we are thankful. Very grateful will we be to all who shall see fit to aid us in the future in this same work. There is no need of controversy, and we will not allow ourselves to be drawn into it. Rev. J. G. Lemen has our full- est love and confidence as pastor and as manager of the Home. Those who are satisfied with the Home and its manage- nt will give to it. Those who are not, will, of course, refrain from giving, and that ought to be the end of the matter, and wfl? be with all Christian people. If thera are those who desire to start another home, they are at liberty to do 80. We have no desire to monopolize the field. They will meet with no oppo- sition from us, and all we ask is the same consideration, If, still, there are those who desire to speak and work against this home, we have nothing to say in_opposition to them. The matter is between them and their God. We will, under Christ, steadily go forward, If it be God’s will to withhold his blessing, His will be done, but if it is His will to use us as means for the saving of orphan chil- dren from lives of poverty and shame, we will feel that no grander service could be awarded us. To this work we con- secrato ourselves, asking the prayers and co-operation of all wgm love human- kind, Wiir C. GormaN, G. A, PrrNgy, T. R. BRrooks, Deacons. E. J, ConLElGH, W. H. Foster, T. R.
