Boarts iden- tified him as one ot his assailants, and the fellow was taken to the statlon where he gave his name as James Donahoe. He 1s to have an examination to.day. After the robbery Boarts went down to the Creston house and there got into some altercation, and foolishly tlourished a re- volver, whereupon he was arrested and locZed up, but yesterday the matter was inquired into, and there seeming to be nothing serfous in it, he was discharged. Yesterday the two men, Tom Howard him. the robbers They took, ote., the thleves. Soon and Fran, Olifford, were before Justice Vaughan for examination on the charge of holding up and robbing J. R, Krouch, on Main street Saturday night. Howard sought to explain the matter by telling that he mot Krouch and they had “‘a littlescrap,”" but denled robbing bim. Clifford testi- fied that he was near by and saw a scuf- fle between the two men, but did not know any of the details of the trouble. The case was held open until Wednes- day.

The Allen boy continues to remain at the city jail awaiting his examination to answer on the charge of having caused the death of his school-mate, the son of J. W, Morse. There seems to have been some criminal prosecution againat the Allen boy and the younger brother, If sald proceedings affected only the two boys, one of whom is in jail and the other gone beyond the reach of Lelp, there migh® bs some doubt as to the ad visability, bu’ there is & greator import ance to the matter than even this, It is a matter which affects all echool children, and concerus sl parents, and e grave an affair should be thoroughly, fully and fairly investigated. It is too serious a matter to be ignored or tossed aside as merely a boys' quarrel.

Dr. McCreary, chose for his text the 21st verse of the 13th chapter of Phillipplans, *‘For me to live is Christ.” Do you ever pause for a moment to ask yourself the question, *‘What am I living for!” 1 do not doubt but what many of you who are here to-night would be puzzled to give an answer to this quention, wereit to bo addressed to you at this moment. But may this question como toyou now as it never has before, and lend you to consider what 1s tho dominant alm and purpose of your life. 1t i not the ocoupation with which our hands aro busy; it is the purposo that rules our hoart and to which our llves aro devoted, that makes life valuable on thoono hand, and on the other hand worthloss. 1f a man livos for self slone, welf is tho measuro of his lifo, if for money, that is the measure; if for plons- eternity, they are tho measure, The question then, that is being asked, and has been asked in past ages, whother in the words of Hamlet as portrayed by Shakospeare in his noblest drama, or in thoe groans of Thomas Carlisle, or queru- lously as in the works of Garrick, or as it 18 somotimes by those who would bo skeptics and infidels, is, “What is the purpose which rules man’s life and makes it worthful or worthless to thoee around him? What is the dominant idea that rules us while we are hare/” How many live sinply to get a living! They labor simply to feed the body, and vamper the flesh, and clothe themselves in gaudy raiment, and build a fine home for thomselves. ‘C'his is merely oxistenco; the life of the beaat. Suppose a man should invent a valua- ble machine, and give all his thought to keeping it in perfect order instead of making uso of it to his own advantage! Wo should think him foolish. Well, this body Is only a machine—a grand machino—iapablo of wondrous things, glv for the soul to work with, But if we spend our time slmply in pam- poring thls magnificont machine, our lives are worse than wasted. You havo all heard the story of the king who was granted his wish that everything he touched might turn to gold. At first ho was pleased with the wonderful power his hands had, but by and by ho grew hungry and thiraty, and had a banquet placed before him. At the moment his hands touched the delicious viands they turned to gold. Whon he raised a glass of water or wine to his lips, the moment the liquid touched his lips it turned to solid gold. Thore ho was surrounded by gold, everything turning to gold, and ho perishing with hunger avd thirst Many of the men who are termod capl- talists, and who, it seems, turn overy thing they touch to wealth to fill their cuffors, are hungoring and thirsting for that which is far more precious, and with- out which they may be compared to life loes skeletons, A few yoars ago I read the story of a miger who devoted his life to the gather. ing and hoarding of gold, and kept his treasures hidden in a secrot chamber of his lonely home, All at once he was missing. He was seen no more in the places he had been wont to frequent lis house was searched from garret to cellar, but to no avail. It was concluded thut he had packed up his gold, taken it with him, and ieft the country. Finally the old houso was sold and its purchaser had it torn down for the purpose of re building. Duting this process the scorot chamber was discovered, and in it the akeleton of the miser with his gold, still greedlly clutching it in the grasp of death, and the sockets where his eyes had been, still scomea to glare eagerly upon the treasure with which he was surrounded. Ho had pone in to exult over the hidden jowels, and tho trap door had closed “upon him, thus termi na'od his earthly existence, How many ‘there are living in the world for pleasure,and enjoyment, caring cnly for those things pertaining to mirth and joy. Thoy go wherever they think they will be greeted with pleasure, ca not for the dangars thet surround them, osw A0 Beocdwgy, Council Bluffe. the tewptations that allure them, After ure, that is the measure; if for God and | x the return to res with a dra footatep and weary soul.

What of a life devoted to fame! Ask Alexander who conquered the whole known world, and when scarce two-score years of age, sat down and wept like a child because no more worlds were left for him to conquer, and at last dled in a they have been the fall round of plesare | J MUELLER, PROPRIETOK O} PALACH Music Hall state of miserable debauchery, Ask Caesar who returned from the victories of his conquents to the seat of empire to have the traitor's dagger thrust to his heart. Ask Napoleon who fought bat- tles on every field of Kurope, who grasped the scepters of evary throne, an became all-powerful, and see him as he dies alone on the desolate {slana of St. Helena an exile banished from home and friende. Ab, my friends, do not judge life by the thing that are of this world, That kind of a life is not worth living, The only way that we can make life worth Ilving is to do something for others. “‘For me to live Is Christ.” Not for the things of this world; not for wealth, power or fame; not for pleasure, but for the immortal Christ. Which life will you live? You must live either the life of Paul or the life of Judas, they stand out in strong contrast; the one for Christ, the other his traltor. One or the other you must be. Judas betrayed not simply the Man of Nazareth, but the purposes for which he lived, and of him the master said, ‘‘Bet- ter for this man had he never been born,” And that same sentence is written by the hand of the Eternal against overy man who is recreant to goodness, recreant to God and engaged in the betrayal of high duty. 1 ask you to-night for your soul’s sake and for God’s sake to live loyal to the trath, loyal to right, loyal to God, and at the end hear the blessed words, ‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter thou Into the joy of thy Lord.” — Real Estate Transfers, The following transfers were filed in the county clerk’s office yesterday and re- ported for the Ber by J. P.
