Papers have been filed in the superior court by this firm against a purty who years ago had, or is supposed to have had, a certain claim in that property. It is understood that this person would not ap- pear to contest the claim of the firm, and the case would go by default. This would fur- nish still further supposable grouuds upon which to establish the right of ownership to be in the hands of parties other than thecity.. If such had been the purpose of these gentlo- men, which seems more than likely, they will have to adopt some other method of opera- tion, for the city councilmen are not asleep. They will see that this move is checkmated und will undoubtedly take such steps as will protect, so far as legal counsel is concerned, he interests of the city. The common council is the representative of the populace, and it is expected to take such steps as shall sccure the possession’ of what is legally and morally theirs. No flaw in the title of the city to this property is be- licved to exist, except in the minds of the gentlemen referred to. But if there be a pos- sible technicality by the means of which the park can be wrested from the city's posses- sion it should be known, and whatever legal assistance is necessary to sccure this should be secure & The city council had a private conference Baturday” evening in regard to the matter, and steps will be taken to seo that the city's interests are fully protected in court. et i Rl Elegant work boxcs, manicure cases and toilet sets at eost at Mueller Music Co's. —— Go!d headed canes at E.

Mr. Rees Believes in Perfection —Another Move For Gobbling rmoant Park—A Confl- dent Saloon Man. A Still Hunt For Gas, The prescut charter of the gas company 'y 8, 1889, It will then have ears, The effort was re- * to have the charter renewed, but it raised such a storm sf indignation that the proposal was quietly dropped. Nothing has been said about it lately, but it seems that the gus company has not been as dor- mant as the citizens have generally sup- posed. . It appears that the company has been quietly laying its plans for a renewal of the charter, without any public discussion. There have been several propositions made to the council, und the consideration of these has been informal and noiseless. Of course the council would not for a moment think of renewing the charter on the same terms as have been in existence, This city has been .50 a thousand for gas, and a poor at that, for too long a time alrgady. ¢ must be some reduction, of course, The company is anxious to get a renewal of its charter by making as small a reduction as possible. The company evidently thinks it can get its renewal on more favorable terms by quickly arranging with the council than by having any open public discussion and having to satisfy the citizens at large. The company lays great stress upon its offer to make a reduction which shall go into imme- diate effect, thus saving the citizens the extra expense between now and the termination of the pres . a year from next Feb- ruary. 1zens should not be put to sleep, nor allow the city council to be made drowsy. 1t is learned that there has been rather a favorable feeling on the purt of the council to renew the prescnt charter, or rather to give @ new charter 1o the present company, in consideration of the company making some reduction in its price, the reduction to go into effect at once. Just what the proposed reduction is to be does not seem to be a mat- ter for the public. It is kept very secret. It is the very thing that the public want to know about, and the reticencd thi i awakens suspicion for favoring the pr ompany rather than give a charter to a new company. The old company i composed of citizens of Council Bluffs, who have large property interests here. The eity council feels like favoring its own citizens, and should when it can do so consistently. Then it would be better to allow the present company to have a charter, because it would avoid the necess ing up streets to lay hew mains, points have been urged lately with mu force, and the council is reported to have been very near the point of granting a re- newal, The recent company can afford to furnish gas cheaper than any new company, which would have te anew plant. If it wonld give the and its citizens as favoruble terms as new companies would offer there would be a feeling favorable to granting the charter to them. it il has been further urged to do nce on the part of the gas company that @ guarantee should be given that if there should arise any new process of manufucture, or if there should be any lessening of expense, the price should be i1 further lowercd. With “such assurance the il has very close todeciding the ups the public would hav morning on reading t n granted. One inci ed delay, Mr. Wright, of the companyais supposed to be con. d in an_atfempt to contest the title of the city to the beautiful Fairmount park. Some of the aldermen looked upon this at- tack as against the interests of the city, and did not feel like favoring a citizen who would be concerned in any such attempt. As for the sugar plum promise of possibly further reductions of price in the dim future, it would be well to bear in mind that the old harter contained just such a provision, and been a dead promise for nearly twenty years. The old charter provides that if “‘any discovery or improvement be made in the preparation of gas from coal or other mate- rials, either fluid or solid, by which the cost of making the same will be materially di- minishea, and the same shall be adopted in other principal cities of the country, then, in such case, the company aforesaid shall intro- duce such discovs or improvements in the said city of Council Bluffs, and make such deduction in the price of gas as shall be effected by such discovery or improvement.’ The gas company cannot have complied with this requirement very far, the present price being §3.50, while other cities are get- ting better gas for one-third of this price. The zens should be on the watch. The council should take no action without giving the citizens a chance to be heard, -~ Always at the Front.

Burhorn’s. e Christian Perfection. This was the subject treated by the Rev. W. H. W. Rees yesterday at Broadway church. Said the speaker: ‘‘While men scek perfection n art, science, philosophy, and in all departments of business, shall we, who are followers of the Nazarene, be less diligent in the quest of christian perfection? This doctrine .has been grossly misrepre- sented, and greatly wisunderstood. Let us in the time allotted to this service, scek to know what the perfection is that God requires at our hands. First, negatively christian perfection is not physical perfection. A blind or deaf man may be as much of a christian as one not so afficted. To be a perfect christian 18 not to be neces y perfect in our bodies. Physical infirmity does not pre- clude christian perfection in your life or mine. Paul had an infirmity of the flesh, 2, It is not mental perfecion. Imay love God perfectly, and yet my reasoning pro- cesses may not be aiways correct. I may make mistakes in my judgment, and hence mistakes in my conduct will naturally follow. iod does not require that we serve him with a perfect head. but with a perfect heart. 1t is not perfection in conduct. John made a grave mistake in bowing down before God’s messenger and beginning to worship him, supposing him to be Jesus Christ. A mistake in_judgement led to a mistake in practice. If John could be holy and make such mistakes in practice cannot ‘we{ Our lives may be full of mistakes, and at the same time our hearts be perfect before God. 4. Tt is not the rendering of a perfect serv- ice to God. There is o great difference be tween u perferct heart and a perfect sery One is attainable the other is not. Oue is v quired the other is not. 1 send my child to thre store for six articles of merchandize. Her heart is perfect to do that service. She does it cneerfully and in love, but when she re- turns from the store she only brings five of the things sent for—she forgot onme. The heart was fe but the ice imperfect. God only requires the scrvice of a perfect heart—1 Chronicles, xxviii 5. It is not absolute perfection. God only is absolutely perfect. His perfoction cannot be added unto, not diminished. His perfec- tion is underived. He s perfect in himself. We only are perfect in Him, 0. It is not angelie perfection, We are not and never can be angels, and. the perfection required of us is not the same as theirs— each in his own sphere. 7. It is not Adamic perfection. Adam was perfect. by creation. ‘We, if at all, by re- demption. His, the perfection of au unfallen being ours, the perfection of ‘a fallen bein His, the perfoction of u spotless soul in an mortal’ body; ours,’ the perfection of a spiritual nature left in ruins by sin and clothed with a body full of discase awniting the hour of its dissolution, 8 It is not exemption from temptation. Christ “‘was tempted in all points like as we | are, yot without sin,” the servant _cannot_be expected 10 be above his Lord. The speaker here pointed out the difference between temp- tation and sin, and defined the difference be- tween the thoughy of the head and the thought of the hs'uf 9. Tt does not delivér us from tho possibil- u?' of Sinning. God's grace will never rob us of our moral freedom and make us mere ma- chines to'be acted upon power outside and ubove ourselves, only I may or may not, an1choose, do wrong. It is not the new birth. It is not the perfection of sinners, but the per- fettion of saints: nor is it the reclamation of backsliders. Let us see what it is. II. Positively christian perfection is: 1. Perfect devotement to God. His service com- mands our all. Money, time, talents, our- selves. We live for Him; we think for Him; we love for Him; we sacrifice for Him. 2. Itis o perfect faith in Jesus Christ, not a8 the Suviour of all men, but a faith in Christ as a personal saviour. by which He be- comes unto us “wisdom, righteousness, sanc- tification and redemption.” 8. It involves perfect heart purity. A pure love, a pure hurpose, u pure desire and a pure fountain, out from which shall flow the stream of our lives.

Notwithstanding the recent decisions of the federal courts of the state, the leading saloon men of this city are by no means ready to give up the battle. In a conversation which a BEE man had with one of them yes- terday, the animus of the majority w plainly revealed. “It rather looks as though the grip on the saloons will begin to choke pretty soom. Dow't you think so!” ventured the news- , and no," was the reply. “You sce ace is different from almost any other tate. If they think they are going to stop the sale of beer and whisky in this city, they will find a bigger job on their hands than they ha v tackled. In the first place, a very great majority of the citizens are opposed to it. and you' know well enough the power of public sentiment. In the sec- ond place, those in office are openly in favor of the saloons.

News: North precinct, which is usually & quiet, orderly por- tion of this county, has, of late, been scandalized by the doings of a recent arrival name nley, who is a young man of twenty-five or thirty ye: of age, suave manners. glib tongwe and leasant addre Stanley made his debut in this county a few months since and ere long ingratiated himself into the good graces of a number of the law- abiding and unsuspecting citizens of that locality, among whom was the fam- ily of a prominent and highly respected farmer, John Wright. About six weeks since Stanley had made such & favor- able impression upon the sixteen- year-old daughter of Mr. Wright, as well as the parents, that they were married in San Joaquin county by a minister who is generally known ‘in that part of the County s the "Cowboy Preacher.” The gay young Lothario represented himself a8 being possessed of means, but that most of his money was - on time de t in a Stockton bank and not available on sight draft. and "a.number of specu- lations which he desired to make were aid for 1n notes andorsed by his father- in-law. The recklessness of the specu- Iations and the iminediate sale of the properties to other partics at half the purchase price, caused Stanley’s actions and pretensjons tg'be looked upon with mmp?n'inn. But rothing dofinite was done in the matter until about ten days ago, when he left. fon Stockton, as he claimed, upon business, from which plade L) wrote his young wife that @, telegram from his mother at Los Angeles called him to her deathfigd and that his stay from home would $¢ longer than origin- ally intended. The night prior to his departure he gaitled possession of [u-c wife's handsome gold watch and, while toying with it succeeded in breaking stal und when he left took the 1o Stocton to have & new crystal putin it. In another mamner he pro- cured more of his wife's jewelry and de- camped with that also. Stanley was last heard of in Stocton on November 26, where he dgew what money he had on deposit, i 1 amounting to about $2,800 and since that time has not been heard of, His statement that he had gone to Los Angeles is not dited, as his ormer references to his home and_parents located them in Kentucky., The amount of notes en- dorsed for the wayward scapegrace by Mr. Wright will aggregate $1,000. We understand that officers are on the look- out for Stanley, and it is to be hoped that he will meet with the summary justice he so richly deserves. —_— Gould's Magnificent Mansion. New Y Journal: When Jay Gould returns from his European pleasure trip he will s intoone of the finest and most _elaborately decorated houses in New York, It ishasoldresidence at 3 Fifth avenue, just above the Windsor hotel, but so changed and improved that Mr. Gould and his family, who are in- specting castles in Spain, may well im- agine that they are lookifr at one of the most beautiful of the old-world man- sions when inspect their newly fitted home. “I expect to live and die in this house,” he remarked on one oceasion, “and I am going to have things to suit me. On the day Mr. Gould sailed for Eu- rope he was at the house until nearly the hour for his departure, and he glanced back at the somber ont as the carriage whirled him away. The vestibule of the practically new residence is snid to be the finest in the city and probably in this country. The hail is unusuaily wide and deep.and the impression it gives one upon enter- ing it is one of most luxurious richness. The walls are laid with heavy English ouk, especially imported for the pur pose, and Spanish leather of a da crimson shade. This is trimmed with wrought iron and bronze, giving the whole a solid and exceedingly rich ap- pearance. The floor is laid with Roman mosaic and several rugs of greatvalue are strewed upon it. The hall doors are very massive and are made of Eng- lish oak, richly carved in unique de- signs. The large windows are studded with opalescent glass and the light streams through in many tinted shades. The ceiling is of onk, and in the cen- teris a large and costly oil pamting representing an allegoriéal scene. This is a feature of the decorations through- outthe house, the suggestion which came from Mr. Gould himself. It was his wish that in the center of each ceil- the, ing in the principal rooms u valuable oil painting should be inlaid, and this has been done. The grand main stair- case, which leads up from the vestibule, is especially fine, and is_carved in the most elaborate way. The newel posts is a work of art in f, o round and ve affair inlaid with pearl. A ing feature of the house is one of the finest skylights ever made by Hayes, It is 20x25 feet, and is directly overthe staircase, thus shedding a flood, h light into the vestibule. The skylight is composed of opales- cent glass, and directly below it is a su- perb sash ol stained glass of delicate colors. Extending down through the certer of the stairway is a beautiful chandelier of brass, in imitation of ivy twined around the central stem with electric lights made in the shape of buds and blossoms, FURNITURE !
