THE OMAHA DAILY BHE, TURSDAY APRLL 20 FOR SALVATION OF SOULS. Many Repentant Sinners Are Turned From the Error of Their Wags AND SEEK AND FIND THE SAVIOR. The Board of Edncation Holds a Live- 1y Meeting and Disposes of Con- siderable Business—Other Enteresting Local The Revival, Another small audience greeted the Rev. Bitler lnst evening, but all seemed Intent on receiving the Holy Spirit. The nsual song servics was rendered, the whole eongregation singing. About 1,000 people were present. “In the Bweot By and By swas sung with avidity by all present. “‘Precions Savior Thou Hast Saved Me'' was then sung and the melody of all those present was simply grar “The Half Has Never Yet Been Told” was then sung with fervor by all present. After the song serviee, Rev. W. J. Harsha, of the Dodge strect Pres- byterian church, led in prayer. Aftor this oame “Balm in Gilead,” in whish all the congregation joined. "“The Lily of the Valley,” the pet of the revival, was sung after the announcements by Rev. McKaig, “Pray for my neighbors, they that prapers must change them. Pray for them all,” said one of the good Christians who sent in A communication to the proacher. An- other said; “Pray for o fallon sister, that ghe maybe reclaimed.” “Pray for the galoon men who recive the ladies so kindly," read another. Rey. Bitler then arose and preached one of his interesting sermons, ealling to the minds of the assemblage all the wrongs they had ever oommitted. Al in the audience were uffectod by his impas- sioned and honest taik to all” those pros- ent. Ho talked, as usual, in a friendly, kindly spivit, telling his _audience that to rece “hrist they need not lose all on earth, but must ‘‘do unto others as you would be done by,” “‘Although your sins be as scarlet, they may be ‘made as white as snow,” said he. He spoke about those who feel that they are good enough. “The Lord is not looking for you, then,” he said. In another in- a man may think that he low down that Christ would him. *‘Brethren and sisters Mr. Bitler, “He will recei you, You are not too lo The attending people were all attention and showed a great inte In fact, they scemed to be ther Durely religious purposes. “Ihe Lol waiting for each R every, one_of you, sud he. Rey. McKwmg, after Mr. Bitler had finished, led in prayer—a heartfelt; fervent appeal to the omnipresent power for the sulvation of all those present; for _all in the city. His prayer was honest, and brought “tears to the eyes of the greater part of the congregation. The Tosponses wer y and_ fervent, all those prosent sceming to be impressed with the all erfulness of Christ. “At the Cross” the song after the prayer, sang with o will by all the congregation! Though many maintain to the contrary, it is a settled that the singing helps reatly in the revival, After the song ev. Bitler asked all who had faith an peace and oy in Christ to rise, upon which nearly half of those present rose. ““The most important part of the evening will be the retirement of all those who have risen to the i ir) room,” said Mr. Bitler. Man, his admonition, and_the revi made happy to see a large number the room inquestion. It was a mecting full of enthusiasm. 1 See Lehmann & Co. Table Line A LIVELY SESSION.

Many there were in the audience who had seen Miss Pixley in days gone by, and the recollections re- vived by her presence were of the pleas antest nature. To the old theater-goer Miss Pixley has been esseutially an American, for she made the great it of her Jife in an American play, written by an American playwright. The andience composed of many of the lady’s ad- mirers, and the ovation she réceived must have warmed the cockles of a truly American heart.

He Kalsomines the Plasterers' Union In Lurid Colors, Osmana, April 19.—To the Editor: Tn the Saturday evening edition of the Bee was an article headed “A Denial,” on which I wish to say a few words, and re- quest the Plasterers'Union to answer a few questions. These gentlemen say they are ready at all times to defeat an enemy of organized labor. Was the man whose re- mains lie mouldering in Prospect Hill cemetery a foe of labor?! Wasituota delegation from this so-called Plusterers’ Union who enwered a workingmens' con- vention a few years ago and tr by every means in their power to prevent that body from making a choica? Was P. F. Murphy a foe of labor? Those are questions for the Plasterers Union to answer. I do not wish to draw into a controversy of this kind my de- parted friends, but when these gentle men poise before the workingmen of this city as the defenders of organized labor 1 to show thom up in their true light. The name of P. F. Murphy is loved, honored and resvected by eve ingmun in this city—a man whose lite was «levoted to labor and its cause; A man whom, during hig public carecr in this city, was without a spot or blemish; a_man who by his own frugal industry placed himself and family in comfortable circumstances, and it was a delegation of these gentlemen from this so-called plasterer’s union that tried by all the unmanly means in their power to prevent his renomination for mayor at the hands of the workingmen of this cit only a year azo. And still they pose be forc the public as union men and friends of labor, There is a certain class of so-called workingmen in this city who spend the nm{nri(y of their time loafing around whisky” shops and street corner: disgruntled agitators, mnot willing to ~ work themselves, who try by all means in their power to pre- vent honest workingmen from making a living for their famulies, It i this class of men who bring on stri and bring poverty and troublo to th of honest workingmen. These fellows huve neither feeling or cha for their fellowman, and (hey mes other men’s corn in their own half b el. Asun honored and respecte enterprising eit! 1 honor Thon Boyd for his manly worth. As a_polit wn, and mayor of this city, if 1 feel n- clined to eriticise his action, that is my privilege. A word regard to Mr. Man- e: He needs no introduction from called Plasterers’ union to the workingmen of this city. Heis a friend of labor and its cause, and is an_honored member of one of the largest labor or- ganizations of this city. The endorse- he received at the polls from the skingmen of his ward speaks for it nd it shows the public what sort of is. The writer of the article s:aded “The Late Election,” and also of this, is one and the same never was ashamed or to put my name in full to 3 article T wrote for the public press.

TO FLIGHT. f S— The Story of One of the Many Massacres Porpetrated by Apaches. A Drave Wonian, Protects the odies of Her Hushand and Child From Mullilation—A Sad Ending. T New York Sun: There will never be any other feeling but that of murder in the heart of a Chiricabua Apache. He hates overy other Indian of the wost, and is ready to make war upon him. No white man has ever fallen into his clutches and eseaped the torture. Ordi- nary tortures are tame to the Apache. He invents new ones. On his own agency, and in time of profound peace, the Apacho is o devil lying in wait for white victims. Two weeks before it was known that Geronimo had left the San Cavlos resor- a sottler on the upper Gila named whose former home was in - Wis- consin, sat smoking his pipe after dinner, On his knee he had his daughter, a child five years old, and the wife was busy ring the}table, Fiye Indians sudden- ly cntered the house by the batk door. Red men had often visited the cabin and been hospitably entertainad, but tho moment the five stepped in Bellair real- ized that they were bent on mischief. As he started to his fect an Indian sprang forward and struck at him with a ritle The blow fell upon the child’s head and crushed it like paper. Bellair seized the gun, wrested it away, and set upon the five to drive them out. Two of them had seized the wife and were (ri'in to pull her outdoors. The husband laid about him with such desperation that the Indians were seized with a momentary panic and retreated. He turned the gun and shot one of them dead at the door, and the other four ran about 80 rods to cover. It was plain enough that it was a raiding party from the reservation after sealps und plunder. About rods from the house, on the opposite side from which the Indians had taken cover, the nchman had con- strueted an _outdoor cellar. This had been accomplished by digging into a_hill tor several feet, and inclosing the front with a double row of planks. here was stout door, and two or three places h been left for ventilation, Belliarnstant- ly decided to occupy the cellar and make the best defense possible. While the wife was collecting a few articles, he carried the dead body of his child to the place, Returning, he got hus rifle, revolver and ammunition, and she took 2 of water ud all the l‘b:\ii_‘ cooked food in the house. Thus far umgpu no suspicions {hnt ns could have had e house was being doeserted,but as Bellair made another trip to secnre & sum of money he had in the house he was seen and fired upon. He ran about halfithe distance to the cellar and then received JA bullet in the head and fell dead. Thafour Indians dashed forward to scalp him, -but the wife stood in the doorway andiwounded one in the side with a shot from the reyolver, and the gang sought cover.

But he has not the manner of an entnusiast. His spe i calm, thoughtful, based upon facts and figures.

I thought it over and came to the con- clusion: “I'll take summer boarders.” And this accounts for Mr. Paul Cas- tleton being a resident under my hum. ble roof that eventful July, gold- didn't He came there with “his two haired little girls and their African nurse, who looked so pictnresque with the big hoops of yellow metal hanging from her ears and the rainbow turban twisted about her cbon brows—a hand- some, stately widower., The little girls had drooped i the sultry atmosphere of their soutiiern home, and he came to seck their health and welfare more than his own.

Two Operators Have a Lively Tile and Both Become Winded—The Cattle Markot Barely Steady and Lower. OHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CritcAGo, April19.—{Special Telegram.|— Warar—~Wheat was rampant this morning and started on the up-turn at & killihg pace. It opened nearly e higher than it closed Sat- urday and the erowd was very bullish, Sev- eral heavy houses, which were conspicuous buyers Friday and Saturday, assumed the role of sellers, and a deluge of wheat was dumped into the pit, Added to the flood of long whent that was poured out by operators who were satisfied with the profits they conld take in on the 4-cent bulge, there was short seiling on a large seale. Ream was openly selling, and his following went with him. It was not thought that Cudahy and Kent were in the market, but of course nobody knew the attitude of these gentlemen be- yond the fact that they were pretty well evened up several days ago, and disposed, then, to be speetators rather than vartie pants in active speculation for the time being. Tmmediately after the opening May sold at 80X @S0 3¢e, and June at $2ge. Tho market sold down about 1c, the pressuro proving too much for the bulls, butat the first indication of & relaxation of the pressure prices advaneed d@ije. The recovery was slow and labored, and when the offerings incroased another down turn in quotations was Inaugurated, and values were carried steadily down to the lowest point of the forenoon, which was reached right at the close of the long session, when May was quoted at T9ige, and June at 80 @ Sle, n deeline from the best figzures of 13 and from Saturday’s close of about 11ge. e spite the decline that occurred during the later trading, the market was strong in a general way,and the bulls could not see that the situntion was in the slightest worse than it was when the bulge was in the fullness of its glory. Conservative grain merchants do not look for a continuation of the rapid advance, and to the v tion was not unexpected. The market was racked and unsettled, however, and too ragged for comfort. ConrN—G. D. Brown and Robert Warren Nad a duel in the eorn pit to-day. Warren and Cudaby are the two operators who have persisted in leaving their short lines undis- turbed. To-<day Warren began covering, He bought quictly but put the market up on him- self e, whenjBrown appeared in the pit with Jarge selling orders. Warren bought 300,000 or 100,000 bushels off him, when both parties drew vut. Brown resolved to let Warren bid the price up, and Warren determined to give Brown a chance to put the market down. At sounts the operators were resting on There was nothing new in oats. Provistons—Provisions were dull. Thoy opened higher in sympathy and declined for the same reason. Pork closed at a_loss of 5@7i4e; ribs at a loss of 2i5c, and lard a shade easier. AFTERNOON BoAmp.—The bears raided wheat on the afternoon board, and the weak- ness was intensified by the selling of long wheat, ‘The weakness in wheat communi- cated itself to the whole macket, which was ensiert at the close of the morning ses- sion, Wheat closed 3{c lower than Saturday. ). m.—Puts on May wheat T81{@8%¢; 115 793 e Chandler-Brown Uo,'s Roport.
