The funeral of Verndn S., infant son of Iraand Ellen C. Grason, took place at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon from the family residence, 736 Mynster street. The remains were interred in Fairview cemetery. Rev. Dr. Phelps, of the Presbyterian church officiated. The grand reception and ball to be iven the nights Templar on eduesday evening bids fair to eclinse anything in the social line that has yet been announced thisseason. Admission tickets are $5 each, and the price makes some of the would-be dudes rather dis- consolate. The board of county supervisors ex- tend a cordial invitation to everybody to attend the dedicatory exercises at the new court house commencing at 1 9'clock Wednesday afternoon, March 7, 1888. The addresses will close 1n time to allow visitors to return home on the evening trains. M. T. Hardin, superintendent of the H. has already moved into his office n the new court house. Mr. Hardin lays claim to being the ‘“‘oldest inhabi- tant,” and it is fitting that he should be the first county officer to tuke up his of- ficial abode in this court house that is justly claimed to be the finestin the state. The grand {ury will renew their la- bors this morning. The last indict- ments are against John Francis, larceny from a building in the nighttime; C. I, Mead, larceny of an overcoat from the Bloomer school house; James Burns, larceny of an overcoat from the Emmett house. These parties are at present confined in the county jail. Messrs, Allen & Bell have nearly com- pleted the plans for Dr. Macral’s five new flats. They will be erected the coming season at the corner of Fifth avenue and Eighth street. The lylncu will be called Charlotte terrace. There will be a small park in the rear, in which will be a beautiful fountain. The buildings will be of brick, finished in red cypress, and will be supplied with all the modern conveniences. It is the intention to begin building operations @8 soon as the weather is favorable. At _their recent meeting the school board adopted a resolution *‘that in view of the probable large increase of pop- ulation in the western part of the city, and the probable necessity of the erec- tion of one or more large buildings in the vicinity in the near future, the board deems it inexpedient to now build an addition to the Streetsville schoolhouse, but that the committee on grounds, buildings and repairs be instructed to inquire into the expediency of making temporary provision for any needed in- crease-of school: facilities in that vi- cinity.” —— Found—Between Upper Broadway and the river, desirable lots for residences.

SUNDAY IN COUNCIL BLUFFS. A Quakeress Preacher Adding to the Buocessful Revival. SOME OTHER POINTS OF PIETY. The Sensational Experience of a Tele- phone Operator—Detalls of Mrs. McMahon's Death—The Need of Street Cleaning. An Earngst Quakeress. The Broadway Methodist church was filled yesterday morning with an audi- ence anxious to hear the celebrated Quakeress evangelist, Mrs. Frame. For the past few days this lady has been as- sisting in the series of revival meetings that was begun at this church several weeks ago. During the short time that she has been here she has created a vast amount of enthusinsm, and the church is crowded at every meeting. At yesterday morning’s service she took as her text James 1:13: “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.” Said the speaker: Everything in this world that is worth having is born of sorrow and wil, and the more itis worth the greater the sorrow and toil pecessary to obtain it. It is of those engaged in the pur- suit of earthly attainments that the text speaks—‘‘Blessed is the man that en- dureth temptation.” The world says blessed is the man that has riches, power, infiuence, health, position, and other things of worldly honor. Not sothe text. Some say “I never had any desire to dance, and I don’t see how any one can give himself up to such pleasure.” H that is the case you will never be rewarded for not ing a dancer. If you have never been tempted to drink you will never be re- warded for not becoming a drunkard. If there is noattraction luriyou in cards, there is no reward for you in not bein a gambler. If you have been vempted, and surmounted it, you will receive your reward, for ‘‘Blessed is.the man that endureth temptation.” None will be rewarded but those who have been tempted and have overcome it. We need not fear thatthe temptation will hurt us—being tempted is not sinninfi‘ Temptation is an enticement to evil, either with or without a desire to yield. In either case we will be rewarded if we overcome_the inducement to give way to sin. We do not know how much dross there is until the fire begins to burn. We need not fear that it will hurt the gold, for it will but make it shine the greater. A great many want to reap the reward without the trial. They want to be- come rich without the labor. They want to be learned, and if a few peeps into a scientific book would make them s0, they would succeed very well, but they cannot endure a long course of study. They want to begin where their arents left off. They do not want to egin at the bottom and face the cares, troubles and vicissitudes of life, but in that way only can they -obtain the re- ward, ‘‘Blessed is the man that en- dureth temptation.” If you have money, a fine home and plenty of friendly ac- uaintances, you think you know' your riends. It is o sad mistake. Wait until your wealth is gone, then you will find out your true and tried friends. Among them all, there is none like your mother. Young ladies, don’t forget your mother. Young gentlemen, don’t get too old to kiss your mother good night. Don’t wait until those hands are folded and you stand by her grave before you show your appreciation and love. Show your love inlife, and not in sprinkling flowers over her grave. There is a vast difference between being saved and being rewarded. Some will barely be slwe(‘fby the skin of their teeth. It isn’t the place in which we are put, but the faithfulness with which we fill it. I have been engaged in this work of saving souls for the past seventeen years, and thousands have come forward at our meetings. I would not change places with the queen of England to-day. It is sweeter to me to hear a brother say, ‘Sister, you have led my child to Christ,’ than any other pleasure that could be bestowed upon me, -If we fill our places faithfully and endure all our temptations, we know that we are among those who have been declared blessed. After the conclusion of the services, the church members and all the new converts took part in a consecration meeting around the altar. While these meetings haye been in progress a great many new converts have made profes- sions of faith, and the result has been 80 much more successful than was ex- pected that the meetings have already hbeen continued two weeks longer than was at first intended. They will be held throughout the present week. The at- tendance is constantly increasing, and there is a prospect of even better results than have yet been secured. —_— Union Abstract Co., 236 Main st. —_—— On the market for over twenty years.

Crofts preached an excellent sermon on ““The Humanity of Christ.” In his introduction he spoke of the incarnation as a mystery, to ex- plain which or understand which was a hopeless task for any humidn mind, Be- cause it could not be understood was not, however, any reason why its truth should be denied. It was wonderful how man could put thoughts into sound, into letters upon paper, or into signs. The sounds given forth by a speaker were not thoughts, and yet the speaker put into these sounds thoughts which stirred the heart. The letters on the written or printed page were not thoughts, and f‘“ thoughts were (p‘“ into them, so that n the reading of them the cheek was made to turn pale, the eye to gllswn, the whole nature stirred to grand deeds, moved upward toward God or dragged downward, It was a wonderful mystery; still, there was no one that doubted but that it was done right along. Wonder- ful it was that man could put thoughts into mere sounds or into letters or signs; it seemed no stranger that God should express his divinity in the human form It was no more unnatural or strang that God could be put into human form than thut thought could be put into words. The purposes of Christ’s humanity were then suggested. One of these was to present a perfect specimen of man- hood. Whatever opinion might be held in regard to Christ's divinity, it must be conceded, and generally was, that he was perfect as & man. [t was diffi- cult to see how anyone thus acknowl- edging that Christ was & perfect man could consistently del;y that such a l;erleol man must be of divine origin. 'ne purpose of such a perfect mig to elevate humanity into a highes urer life. He was a manifestation of ivine love. He was pure, and thus helped fallen humanity by a faultiess ex- ample. He offered needed consolation for the troubles of life. He was strong and gladly sustained those who strug- gled. Man needed such a manifesta- tion of God’s love, needed a pure ex- ample, needed consolation, sympathy and assistance. God saw all these needs, and #o sent his Son, Jesus Christ, into this world. —_— Sheafe loans money on real estate. Bargains in houses and lots on small cash payment. Johnson & Van Patten, 88 Main street. ————— Mrs. McMahon's Death. The death of Mrs. McMahon, follow- ing 8o soon upon the death of her son, who was for atime assistant secretary ofthe Y. M. C. A. of this city, has caused much sad interest to be taken in the matter, The details of Mrs. Me- Mahon's death are given by a Tabor correspondent as follows: The chapter of distressing and soul- rowing accidents that find record in our dai {:ml‘! can have no more awful death than ell Mrs, McMahon, a highly respected widow lady about fifty-five years of age, re- siding at Tabor. Since the death of a dearly loved son who was killed this winter in Colo- rado, on a train of which he was conductor, it was feared by her family and physician that her grief had caused iusanity, as she seemed very despondent, On last Friday night Muas. McMahon, her daughter Miss Etta, and Miss Dryden, a college student boarder, retired as usual for the night. It is said that the old lady was heard moving about in her room during the night, but caused no_uneasiness on the part of the family. It was not until early morning that on going to her sleeping apart- ment it was found she was gone. The alarm was immediately iven and soon the whole town, citizens, col- jege students and public school pupils were searching through the town and outlying vicinita. It was thought that possibly in her bewilderment she had started for Hillsdale to take the truin, us she often expressed u de- sire to visit their children living in various purts of Pottav attamie county. A greater part of Saturday morning was spent in the anxious, exciting search, and it was not until nearly noon that someone on looking into the hotel well nearly cigty-five feet deep saw un- mistakable evidence of her dreadful fate. It ‘was an excited, horrified throng of neighbors that gathered around to assist in lifting out the remains of a beloved friend. Mr. Myers’ ropes and windlass were brought and George Ledgeway and George Starrett were lowered into the well. Ropes were fastened around her and slowly and gently she was drawn back into God's sweet sunlight. She was immediately removed to her residence where loving hands prepared their friend for burial. An early telegram hdd been sent to her son, George McMahon, of Council Bluffs, who arnved dufinfithe forenoon, and he, with the assistance of Mr. F'ish, took the remains to Hillsdale in the afternoon to be sent to the {’-mliul' cemetery in Pottawattamie county for urial, ———— Two good lots in Beers’ sub., 2600 Begin next week. Bilger, 6 Pearl st. dimal G ve Clean the Streets. Several of the prominent citizens of this city were sunning themselves yes- terday afternoon in front of the Pacific house when one of them delivered him- self as follows: ‘“‘Gentlemen, we say we have a nice city—wealthy, pretty and not badly in debt—and o we have. We are pleased with our homes, and are not ashamed to say so. Now, we all belong here, and there is no need of misrepre- senting anything. 1 just want to leave it to any man, rich or poor, high or low, if the condition of these streets isn’t enough to make angels weep. They surely would, if not worse, As you all know, $60,000 was expended last year for ’mving, and what is the result? The newly-paved streets are in a worse condition than before. What is the reason? The paving is all that could be desired in that line, but the strings of dirt wagons that daily uss over them, leave generous cont utions. I pay my taxes and don’t com- plain about anything within the bounds of reason, but I live on Mynster street, and my assessment for paving that handsome avenue amounted to consider- able. In order to get here to-day I waded through mud nearly tomy ankles. Have I reason to complain? 1 tell gou, gentlemen, this thing has gone far enough, and something must be done. 1 shall see the members of the council, and if they can’t grant relief, I shall be on hand at the coming election to work for men who will make a better showing in the aldermanic chairs.” e If you desire to get a new Hall tx'pe writer cheap, drop o postal card to H.

During the storm one of the elec- triclight wires became loosened from its fastenings and fell upon the tele- phone wires. The rain had rendered the insulation imperfect, and the lady received a shock that “‘made her see stars,” to say the least. The current caused nearly every drop to fall, and had it not been fornumerous ground wires that allowed much of the electric fluid to escape, Miss Sled would undoubtedly have been killed. The opening of the circuit caused the lights on that line to go out, and several places were left in darkness. The trouble was soon reme- died and the current turned on again. It was a narrow escape for the operator and she has not fully recovered from the effects of it. This is by no means the first time that the electric light wires have been crossed with the telephone wires and caused a scare in the ex- change. Some steps should be taken to revent the possibility of these wires K{mom!ng crossed, as the electric light current is so powerful that serious re- sults are likely to follow. e E. H.

Office 500 Broadway, cor- ner Maip street, up-stairs. o Late Saturday night Officer Beswick found a man wandering about the North- western depot. He was covered with mud and his face was discolored and swollen from a heavy blow under the eye. When taken to the police station he said that he came in on the Milwau- kee through freight. He gave his name as Charles Usher, of Cedar Rapids. He said that he left home for Ports- mouth to buy a farm, and had two drafts for 83500 each on the City Nutional bank of Cedar Rapids. The train did not stop at Portsmouth, and he was brought to Neula, and con- cluded to come on to the Bluffs and stay over night. After he alighted from the car in the Milwaukee yards he had one but a few rods when he was nocked down and robbed of all he had. He was completely dazed by the blow and wandered around until found as stated. He had the police telegraph to stop paymenton the drafts, and remained at the stution the greater part of the day, He also lost about $15in money and a silver watch, He is of the opinion that the brakemen of the train were his as- suilants, but could give no description of them. - The police believe his story ; s C and are on._the lookout Tor the per- trators of the bold 2érjme. ey hink that the drafts ®il" be thrown away, and thus no clue.deftdor their ap- rehension.

This isthe first occuirréhce of this kind that has happened here for some time. The parties evidently intended to succeed in their attempt, as Usher's face gives evidence of a. terrific blow. He states that there were thiree of them, but can give no furthér information. The highwaymen will probably not be discovered, and Mr. Usher will not have a chance to prosecwte Ris pugilistic assailant in the courts. | franed= Setll U g A New Church Organ.

Another gung is at work on the ice in the center of the river on a large caisson, which is now ready to be filled and sunk. Still another gang is sinking piers on the Omaha side.

A correspondent writes to the Chi- crgo Tribune from Mexico: Outside in their dark pens the bulls are shut \IH awaiting their turn to be precipitate into that bright arena, there to give thirty minutes of their lives to mortal combat in an encounter where the chances of escape or revenge have been scientifically reduced ' to & minimum, No torero desires to fight a bull the sec- me, for a bull once huving had ex- perience is a dangerous cystomer. and will follow up his attacks, and almost surely kill or gore his antagonist. There is a great silence all over the vast amphitheatre, people holding their breath, the bull is coming through a winding. narrow passage to the door which will open dand admit him to the scene of carnage, His Qull! roaring is heurd as he is goanded on toward the door. Then the door opens, and you might hear the fall of a cambric hand- kerchief, so profound is the silence. Ladies’ cheeks are pale, and even men’s faces have become fixed and rigid. The tensions is tremendous. The bull enters the arena with a savage bound, and for a moment is stunned by the shouts, cries and yells, and he is dazzled by the bright sunshine, He stops n moment And1E astadylor animal bewilasrmeit, mingled with rage. On his shoulders was placed, as he entered the ‘‘mona,’” which, at the outset, decorates each bull, This bull is named Respetado, and he wears a decoration of broad ribbons of the colors of Mexico and Spain—yellow, red, white and green— and all covered with golden spangles, and, sitting in the midst of the tangled ribbons, as in a nest, a stuffed bird of brlliant plumage. The Spanish rib- bons bear in gold letters the motto, *Viva Mexico,” and the Mexican rib- bons, “Viva Espana.” Respetado tremendous bull, brought, as we tie rest of his taurine companions, from Spain, at a cost each of $1,000 in gold. His horns are big and sharp, and he paws the ground in a tre- mendous rage. Soon he discerns a pic- ador, and makes a mad rush at man and horse, but the picador, poising his lance and bracing himself in his high backed suddle, receives the bull’s charge most valiantly, and inserting the point of his lance between the bull’'s shoulders, keeps off. It was a tremendous charge well met, and elicits thunders of ap- plause. The capeadores then attract the bull’s attention with their flaming capes of red and yellow,and off he dashes after them, some just saving themselves by vaulting the barrier into the narrow space mentioned, which winds around the ring. The bull charges another picador, and is kept off again. There are other charges and other re- buffs till this act is over. Then out go the picadores on their horses, and in come the banderillos with the banderillas in their hands, each man carrying two. These aro short sticks covered with ribbons and colored paper, and barbed with steel in such a manner that, when swuck into the bull’s shoulder, they stay placed, unless shaken out by a great effort on the part of the beast. The gyout feat, and the sole object of this part of the fight, is that the bandillero shall place his darts in a space not big;.ver than a dinner- plate between the ull’s shoulders; and, in order that the bull may have fair play, the performer must carry his arms at the right moment between the bull’s horns, v“’hila facing the animal, and stick the barbs deep into the shoulders. The bull must not be approached from behind or from either side; it must be a fair face-to-face encounter, That this requires nerve, quicknegs, and precision of eye is to be imagined, ' How would you like to be standing in front of a bull whose horns are perhaps reddened with the blood of horses, his head lowered to catch you if he can, while you have, under 20,000 eyes; to pass your arms be- tween his horns and plunge firmly into his shoulders the duarts you carry in either hand? And, a8 you'do this, you must skillfully turn to one side and just avoid the horn of the bull as he ad- vances. This is a wondérful exhibition, and never fails to bring.applause. - Safe, permanent and complete are the cures of bilious and intermittent dis eases, made by Prickly Ash Bitters, Dyspopsia, general dehilnfi, habitual constipation, liver and kidney com- plaints are speedily eradicated from the system.
