Chicago News: A newmember from Texas made his appearance the other day with long red hair and the cowboy hat, but after looking around for awhile he concluded to dress like other people, visited a barber shop, had his flowing locks cut short, and then purchased a suit of store clothes at the nearest tail- ors. The employes at the capital and the clerks in the departments are al- ways glad when o new congress con- venes, us the pomposity of the new members alwgys affords them 80 much sement. ‘The first thing they do egistering at the hotels is to go the house of representatives and survey the lace where the states- manship is to display itself. Then they select the seat they desire to oc- cupy and inquire at she office of the ser- geant-ut-urms for their pay. The sala- ries of most of them have accumulated gince last March, and amount to sums of money which few of them have ever had in hand before, In hunting for their pay they make many mistakes. Some of them go tothe room of the com- mittee on finance, others to the room of the committee on salaries and mileage, others try the postmaster and cler until finally they find' the paymaster of the great body of legations in the ser- geant-at-arms’ office. Others go to the treasury department direct, and there ask for their salaries. At the cashier’s office of the treasury the other day wus to be seenatall, lank, serawny, sallow man, with a rugged, wrinkled face and a tuft of gray whisk- ers under his chin. He wore a dingy suit of brown clothing and and an ovi coat that looked asif its service entitled it to retirement and a pension. The boots were unpolished and the legs of the pautaloons were scanty as to mmr length. The coat-sleeves were long enough to the ntoloons’ deficiency, and hung n great folds over the rough, brawny hands. He came in with great deference, and saying, “Good morn- ing, gunucmen,’ seated himself near the door. The usual rush of business was going on; persons came and went after transacting their duties, and for half an hour or more no one took any notice os the old man. Finally the cashier spoke to him and asked if he wished to see any }nuuunhlr person. He introduced himself as the member from the — district of ——; »nd wanted to fee the cashier. Mr. Williams made himself known,and the old gentleman, taking from the inner pocket of his coat »n oltfluuhmnud pocket-book, unwound the long strap that bound it, and pro- duced from a soiled envelope nine cer- tificates from the sergeant-at-arms of the house, representing over 3,600, his saliry since the 4tb of March, make up for PEELERS PEEL EACH OTHER. Chief Mullen Stalks After O'Brien, and O'Brien After Him. POINTS FROM THE PULPITS. Miss Freeman's Herolsm Used as a Text—Dr. Cooley Declares the Church Has Obstructed Itself—Personals. ” More ABout the Police. One of the principal topics on the street yesterday was the trouble in the ranks of the police as stated in the morning papers. The members on the force were willing to talk on the subject and the matter was freely discussed at the police station as well as outside. It scems that the company that waited upon Mayor Rohrer comprised the en- tire force with the exceptions of Patrol Driver Nicholson, Offi Tamisea and Chief Mullen. who was in Nebraska after a witness in the Whitmer horse- stealing case. The fact that the force took advantage of the chief’s absence to make their complaints against him gives color to the counter charges of under hand work brought against the ringleader of the kickers and his allies. 1t is stated that this member, who is no other than the captain of the force, O'Brien, has been working againsy the chief ever since he has been in that position, and has an overwhelming de- sive to wear the chief’s badge himself. He is also an aspirant for the marshal’s chair, and seems determined to get one of these places. As nearly as can be learned ~ from the polic this plotter ~_secured their ' backing by circulating the report among them that the chief was keeping for his own use money that should go into t)w common pool fund. The fund of the money that is obtai ds, or is obtained in addition to regular salaries, Last w th® amount was divided between the thirteen members of the police and marshal’s forces, and each man’s share was $14.80. The particular case which oceasioned the muss, was that of Drum Major Car- bee. When that notorious gentleman skipped out, the band boys raised $40 for the purpose of paying the chief's expen- in bringing him back. The actual ense incurred was $25, and the other s returned to the subseribers, wt gave the chief %5 for his trouble. amount put into the pool. At the last session of the board of county supervisovs, this bill of $25 for expenses was allowed. At that time Chief Mullen was in Illinois, where he was called by the death of his sister. When he returned the men demanded that the money be turned into the pool. This the chief refused to do, saying he should return it to the parties who had advanced it. The money has not yet been returned, and Mr. Mullen yesterd stated to a BEE reporter that the reason was that he only received the money a few days ago, and had not yet seen the man to whom it was to be paid, It is certain that matters on the force are not as they should be, and thatthere is a great amount of queer business gomngon. It will be remembered that u few months ago a runa couple from Nebraska were caught at the transfer by the husband of the eloping woman, and services of the police were called in. The captain of police ma- nipulated that affair, and 87 was turned into the pool result of it. At the time much dissatisfaction w xpressed by the members of the force, and it was hinted very openly that the captain had salted a neat little sum in his own pocket, that should have been common property. It is whispered secret among the po- lice that Major Williams, the murderer, was assisted out of the city by members now on the force, and charges of a most startling character are feely made. There is no question but what fully one half of the men on the f should be moved. It is equally certain that the chief has been too easy with his men, and that they have ridden over him rough-shod. The claim made by the chief is that the mayor is a higher au- thority than he, and that suggestions for neglecting the actions of the men should come from that source. During the past two years, there have been four mayors presiding over the city's affuirs. Since the death of Mayor Chapman, his three successors, being appointed to fill his unexpired term, have seemed unwilling to inaugurate a needed reform in this branch of the city’s service, and have been waiting for someone who would have a full term. A morning paper stated that in th complaint to the mayor, the men argued lh\ll the chief had never made an ar- This they deny, and the police ster at the station crcdlts him with thirty-nine arrests in the past two months, the only one having made a greater being Officer Rose, who has brought in forty. The number of ar- rests made by a chief of police argues nothing for his capacity to act in_that position, for it is his executive ability that fits him for the position. Itisin this respect that Chief Mullen is want- ing. His men aré not well disciplined, and rules are totally disregarded. He stated yesterday tothe BEE man, that on several occasions he had blown his whistle in different parts of the city to sce if the night police were on their beats, but had failed to find them. On Saturday evening the patrol wagon was driven the wholelength of lower Broad- way with the gong ringing, but not a “peeler” appeared in sight. It is scarcely a week since one of the might patrolmen went to sleep in the office of the Pacific house, and slept so soundly that it was quite difficult toawaken him when his services were required shortly after midnight. Such things speak illy of the efficiency of the force, and justify the citizens in their demand for a radi- cal change and better police protection. s et A Bn Splendid chance to go into the imple- ment business at Beatrice, Neb.

His theme, based upon 1 Corinthians 8:3, was: ‘*‘The church the chief obstacle to her own advancement.” The speaker asked and answered the following questions: To one who looks over the past his- tory of the church and sees how little progress she has gpade to what she ought to have accomplished, what is the cause of this slow rate of achieve- ment? Why, after the lapse of nearly nineteen centuries, has tne church no more power in the world? Why are such large portionis of . our’ globe ' still without the gospel? Why, in nominally christian lands, are the 80 few rveal christians? Is there any lnck of inher- ent power in christinnity? Has the gospel spent its force before nine-tenths of the inhabitants of the earth have ever heard of its offer and provisions of salvation? Has Satan proved himself too strong for Christ? It is true that wicked men have ar- yed themselvex against God's people n all ages of the world’s history, and with all their acts of blandishment and fierce persecution hitve sought to uproot her and drive her from the face J the earth, but this opposition wus nll fore- told by Christ. He warned his disci- ples that the fires of persecution would he kindled: that the bitter hatred of the world be directed against them, but He assured them that He would be with them till the end of time, and the pow- ers of hell should not prevail against them. With all this opposition the church commenced her existence. In spite of fire, bloodshed, torture, shame and death the upostles and early chris- tians preached the gospel so effectively that wultitudes embraced it. The cross, however great its offense, became the power of God to the salvation of mil- lions of believers. So great was the progress of the church for the first three centuries of her existence that her greatest earthly enemy was con- quered and became an ally. Ci hristiuu- ity ascended to the throne of the Cesars in the person of Constantine and changed the government of the Roman empire from a foe to the patron of the church, Had the Christian religion continued ln advance for the lm-u, fifteen hundred ln-mgs would not now be without the bible. Wars, slav and_all forms of opp! ion would l()ri' ago have ceased. The question again oceurs: Why did not this rate of progress continue? Why did not the church go on from conquering unto conquering? We are not of those who believe that all the piety was confined to the primitive all the zeal and heroism ssed by the first Christians. ]\ul,hn-r would we underrate the ad- vancement made by the church during the past fifteen centuries. She has made her power felt among the nations. She has immensely elevated social life. Theve is a higher standard of morulity to-day in business and ecivil life than ever before in the history of the world. The conscience of man is gencrally more enlightened; ation is more thoroughly christinn; government is wiser and more liberal than at any past period. The comfortsind conveniences of life are more generally diffused; there is less suffeving, 1 ignorance and, we belicve, less crime in proportion to population than ever before. Then again, there is far publicity, than i T'he press and telegraph spread out before thing that oceurs in the whol €d world, so that we ¢ y and week. * % Ar greater light now than at any time in the past. Those things which were winked at, even approved, arc mow universally condemned. This will ex- plain why we and the world are so much more conscious of present crime and wickedness than in the past. While greater not making the progress ed the beginning of her ]IHL()I' Why is this? Several reasons may bu named. First. Her doctrinal corruptions. The church made great progress at fivst because her doctrines weve pure. She had received them from Christ and the apostles, and so long as she retained them uuulmugml thl-v had & divine power. But in the fourth century the gospel was over- laden with the teachingsof men. False systems of philosophy perverted the simplicity of the gospel. Instead of placing her reliance upon the simple truth use of the reasonings of men. Instead of the church lifting up lhe world the world dragged down the church. Shorn of her strength and despoiled of her divine beauty the church became an object of reprouch: ng and byword. No longer feared as henceforth despised. Instead erting a positive influence upon the world she lay at the mercy of crafty, vicked men who used her to carry out their purposes. This period was the ‘“dark ages’ of the church and the world, but when by Wyckliffe and Tyndaleand Latimer afd Ridley in England, by Huss and Jerome in Bohemia, by Luther and Melancthon iu Germany, tnd by Cal- vin and Zwingle in Switzerland the “Word of God” was un- bound and the weapons of their warfare were found and sgoured and used, the world felt again the power of the church. This wus the era of the reformation, but that was only partial, for papal error was still toler- <ated in the church and ritualism has always been thu great enemy of the gospel, * * A second obsmc]e is false systems of government. The or iginal church con- stitution was the banding of a number disciples together for the worship of God. A pastor and bishops were the officiary, and were elected by the peo- le of the individual church.” * * The ierarchy, with its three orders of the minstry, destroyed this simplicity and its power. It blocked the way of life and salvation, The people wene keptin darkness and a reign of ubsu\uuun everywhere prevailed. ) . Another obstacle is in the persecu- tions which have marked her histor The wars which the disciples of Christ have waged against one another are the saddest portions of the history of the world,” Here the speaker referred at length to the religious wars of history. He then continued: “‘If these have proved so_disastrous to the cause of Christ when cherished by different bodies of christians, what are they when entertained by members in the same church toward one another? When the same household is dnnlml among it- elf it cannotstand, * A fourth obstacle is hc'.' low standard of piety. Most members are satisfied if they are guilty of no outbreaking sins and attend once a Sabbath, upon the s of the house of God. * * ‘hristinn Quties are a burden, not a delight. If there was more fervency of spirit there would be more conversions. * * A church composed of living, ear- nest christians, however few in num- ber and poor in worldly goods, is a mighty power in any community. The last obstacle in the way of advance ment of the church is the low standard of morality prevalent among professed tians. l{ohgluus morality are prac- tically divorced by many of the members of our churches. is such a thing as being very religious without being moral. The Pharisees, in the time of Christ, belonged to this class. There are the same characters in our churches to-day. Persons who have little or no regard for their word; who do not pay their debts gmmplly and who drive \\uxp bargains. * * A Christian that will connive at any of the common practices of trade that are not entirely honest and honorable, that will resort to subterfuge to carry his point, will not ouly destroy his own usefulness but l.nr el) impair the power of the church whlefl“ho is ‘connected, A true s ot the gospel the church madv- * T religion covers . the whple \‘le and con- duct.

Last evening Rev. G. WaGrofts. pastor | of the Congregational church, delivered an interesting sermon on drawing les- sons from the incidents of the blizzard and especially the heroism shown by Miss Freeman. his text the words, “I am the Good Shepherd.” His sermon was in sub- stance as follows: The attention of the whole country has recently been called to the noble, wise and heroic act of Miss Minnie Freeman, n \nung lady teacher in the Meyra Val- et of Neby «in conveying in the face of the recent terrible biizaard her entire school, consisting of th n pupils, to a place of safety. Her won- derful presence of mind, her tact and generalship in the whole transaction have been the subject of un al and favorable comment., In fact Miss Free- man stands before the country in the enviable light of a true American hero- ine. Her praises are sounded every where by tongue and pen, by press and pulpit, by orators and poets. Many may look upon this as sudden no- toriety, but it is not notoriety; it is true, sweet, blessed, heavenly honorand fame. Verily it is such fame as Christ himself would approve. Christ said of the woman who broke the alabaster hox of recious ointment and poured it upon Jiia Head, “:Whetevar. the gospel shall be preached this shall be told as a me- movial of her,” and so I believe Christ would say of the noble act of Miss Free- man. Itis, I am aware, a great thing to say of any one in this poor world, yet it was a great deed, and if men did not praise the act it would but prove them ess noble than they are. While Miss Freeman is worthy of all honor, and while I would be among the first to place a chapulet of undying lus- ter on_her head. yet this service to- night is not held solely to commend her to the affectionate remembrances of the world, but to associate our thoughts of her and her deed with the work of Christ ag he came into the world to save men, not merely from temporal, but from eternal death. Miss Freeman jeopardised, but did not, thank God, lay down her life, It was not necessary that she should die, yet it is evident she would have died before she would have forsaken one of her little flock. Being willing, she doubtless has been recorded by the good angel as one who gave her all. Yet Christ was called upon to surrender His life. “I am_ the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” This was a willing sacritice. “*No man oth it (my life) from me, T lay it f.”? Christ died because He He diéd that we might live, Greater love hath no man than this. There are some things that this noble leader did that ave sty gaestive of the work of Christ. You are all fumiliar with the incident, so that I need not relate it. 1. She bound all her pupils to her- self and to one another. :There is sug- gested the idea of unity, Christ binds with the strong and<inseparable cords of His loye and truth of His disciples. They are as closely united to Himas the branch is united to the vine. They are also bound together. All of God’s childven, in this world, are uni in common bonds of sympathy and fellow- ship.* We are all one family. ‘Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love.” 2. She braved daagers and trial. Tt not an easy, flower-strewn path in ich she and they \ullk(‘d Hu\l after- noon. It was not a picni vas not a leasure excursion. Death, llku v howl- ing wolf, was snapping at them way. Life has its dangers and the Christian, *In the world ye shall have tribulation.” She encouraged them to go forward. She cheered them, she reproved them when they were inclined to lag. But her reproofs had as much love in them as her praises or promises. All was love, all i L So is it with Jesus, F ‘O discouraged 1 am with you; keep on! keep o a little longer. In my father’s house are many mansions.” She took one little pupil in her arms, Jesus takes the lambs in his bosom. How many little lambs Jesus takes in His bosom! Is it not kind in Him to do it? Yes; O how He loves the lambs! He takes them in His bosom! Blessed, blessed shepherd! She brought them all safely home. Not one was lost! Christ will save all who come to Him. None will be lost; none shall be able to pluck you away from Him, He will gul&c you home. She produced joy. O, as that : came up can you imagineé the fee of those parents? None dare venture out in it! I can \mugu e mnny a poor mother erying, **O, my child! my dar- fing!” What an agony of smpem they were in! But when they found all were suved, what joy! So there is joyin heaven over one sinner that is saved! She produced gratitute. While all hearts go out to her what must be the feelingsof those dear parents. Will they ever forget ner? Will these child- ren ever forget her? So with Chr How we love him for our salvation ‘Love I much, 1’ m much forgiven, I'm a miracle of grace.’ She has and will receive honor. As 1 have said this is right. The people must bestow i She must receive it. And so Christ is and shall ever be hon- ored. ‘Now unto Him thatloved us and washed us in His own blood and made us king’s and priests unto God and the lamb unto lllm he honor and glory for ever and ever.’ My friends let us be truer and nobler men and women, and may we all be gathered in our heavenly home when the storms of life are over.

The company claimed that there were no engines to spare. Then came the blizzard of De- cember 26, and since then we have been fairly out of the world. The track from Morris to Brown's Valley is hardly more than two streaks of rust. It is unballasted. The rails, second-hand to begin on, have been in use eightven years, and no sane engineer dares to drive his train over fifteen miles an hour in midsummer; and as for using a snow-plow, it is out of the question. Fortunately we have had plenty of pro- visions, and, by reason of a generous supply of grain and hay, our stock hus been kept in good condition. ‘At Brown’s Valley the situation is, in some respects, worse than with us, 'here the people have been short of provisions for some time, as well as without any lights, but by going out on the Indian reservation some green fuel can be obtained.
