The stormy weather is what the democrats have been praying for, and they all expressed the hope that it would continue until to-night, as it would surely keep many republicans from going to the polls. The coming election seemed to be the signal for o general bowling up on Sat- urday and Sunday. Seven 1nebriates were registered as lodgers at the city bas.ile yesterday, and during the after- noon one of the democratic nominees for alderman, evidently thinking that he could not afford to let such a golden opportunity slip, called at the jarl and tried to get the whole batch released. The plan would not work, and unless some brave politician waltzes up boldly this morning and pays the fines, it is g:obnhlc that the democratic count will seven votes short. gl Travelers!

B The Gas Charter. ‘There has been little said or done of late in regard to the proposed renewal of the gas company’s charter. The mat- ter has been keptso quietly. that it is suspicious. It is believed that an at- tempt will be made to so control the election to-day that the gas company will control the new council. The voters should bear this in mind, and elect such men to the council as can be depended upon to protect the city’s in- terests in this respect. Council Bluffs has for years been paying a higher rate for gas than any of the other cities— double the price asked in most cities. The recent attempt to get the council to renew the charter raised a general howl, and aldermen who were per- suaded to favor the renewal aid not dare fly in the face of this public indigna- tion. Ordinances have been quietly repared, and quietly tucked away. he public has been lulled into a feeling of security. To-day every bal- lot should be so cast as to prevent any successful carrying out of the allege ggllcy of crannnfi anew charter through e city council. There are some straight, honest m:n nominated for aldermen, but every voter should take warning and see to it thav none of the reckless, catch-as-catch-can aspirants be ’iveu a place in the council. Suspicion alls on those who have been so anxious to secure nominations. There being no money, few thanks and hittle honor at- tached to the office of alderman, men who have worked caucuses. spent money and made promises to secure a nomina- tiow of this kind must have some axes which need grinding. The renewal of the gas charter mav be one of these axes. ——— Sheafe loans money on real estate. . —_——— On the market for over twenty years.

THE MAYOR'S GROCERIES. An Eloquent Sermon on the King's Daughters—Attacking the City Engineer—Foot Racing— Look Out For Gas. The Mayoralty Race. The nomination of D. J. Rockwell far mayor has awakened much enthusiasm with everybody but Mr. Rockwell him- self. There has been some doubt as to whether he would accept or not, and a large crowd of republicans called at his home Saturday night to prevail upon him to accept the nomination and make the ruce. He was not to be found, and the expected conference did not take place. Since then Mr. Rockwell wrote the following declination: Councit Bruees, Ta, March 4.—-To the Editor of the Beg: My name as a candidate formayor was ' used® without my knowledge or consent, and 1 positively refuse to- accept the nomination. In case of possible election 1 should refusg to qualify. D. J. ROCKWELL. The republican committee and the other managers of the party still insist on his making the race. They are con- fident that they can elect him, and they rest on the hope that if he is thus elected against his will and wish he will reconsider his avowal and consent to ualif] Mr. Rockwell’s name will tl fore be retained at the head of the ticket. He is a strong man, and would make a first class mayor if he would consent to act in that capacity. The Nonpareil made & bad break in attempting to drive the Catholic vote ngainst Mayor Rohrer. That paper made a great sensation over the charge that Mayor Rohrer ordered a few gro- ceries sent to the Cottage hospital, and as they went by mistake to St. Bernard’s, he went there und made the sisters pay for the groceries, amounting to about #3. This incident caused many demo- crats even to declare thatif Mayor Rohrer was so small a man as this, they would not vote for him. The catholics are quite indignant over this ittempt to drag them into a political fight. At mass ycfitcrflr\v morning in St. Francis Xavier’s church, Rev. Father Healey publicly contra- dicted the grocery canard. He fully exonorated Mayor Rohrer and his worthy wife who was alsogiven unpleas- ent publicity us being connected with it. It seems that Mayor Rohrer has been peculiarly anfortunate in attempt- ing to bestow charities, and his ge ous acts have been twisted by political enemies into charges against him. The following lotters written gwithout any solicitation indicate how the Catholics are indignant over the matter, aud fully clear up Mayor Rohrer’s action; To the Editor of the Bee: Permit me to correct an injustice done Mr. Rohrer by the Nonpareil Saturday morning in relation to St. Bernard’s hospital. The facts in the case are Mr. Rohrer ordered a sack of flour from Parks & Son's grocery for the Cottage hospital. The grocer delivered the flour at St. .Bernard’s hospital by mistake. When the mistake was discovered Parks & & sent for the flour to take it to its destin: . Some of it had been used and the reverend mother paid for the flour. This is tho whole matter, Mayor Rohrer was entively ignorant of it. I cannot permi y man to {vc njured innocently in connection with the Catholic church or any of its institutions. B. P. McMENoNY. St. BErNARD'S HospiTAL, CouNcir BLUFFS, Ia., March 3, 1888.—Editor Bre: Dear Kind Sir—I have just been informed that an ed- itorial has been published in one of the city pavers giving Mayor Kohrer a slur and stat- ng we were the authority. Now, as superior of the home, I deem it my duty to correct this and give tue facts just as they were. During the month of February there was a sack of flour ordered at Parks & Sons by Mrs. Rohrer and some groceries by Mrs. O. M. Brown. They were brought here in mis- take by the delivery men of that firm. As we are accustomed to receive from all we made no inquiry. In a couple of days one of the men who delivers called and said it had been brought here by mistake and as some of the groceries had been used we asked the amount of the bill. It was $2.70. ‘We paid it. Then Mayor Rohrer had nothing to do with it. Hoc nor his wife ever sent word they wished the amount returned. It's more than likely the firm rectified their mis- take. I wish the truth and nothing else. While we are grateful for any kinduess be- stowed on our hospital, the spirit of jealous; is a stranger in St. Bernard's hospital, Hoping you will correct this for me and greatly oblige. Very gratefully in Christ, MoTHER MARY VINCENT, Superior. s E. H. Sheafe loans money on chattel security of every description. Private consulting rooms. All business strictly confidential.

Mr. Mackay took as his theme “The King’s Daughters.” One of the distinguishing character- istics of our age, said the speaker, is the prominence that is given to women in all the departments of life. From being looked upon as merely the queen of the home circle, and as intended by God only for household duties, woman has proved her ability and fitness to grace many of the walks of life, hither- to supposed to be the exclusive domain of man, Tt is strange that with her natural devotional temperament she did not sooner aspire to find a medium for her talents in the religious life. Perhaps the reason may be found in her extreme reverence for sacred things, and her difiidence to enter the domain of theology, which was thought to be the exclusive domain of the clergy. Gradually, however. as it has become apparent that religion is not theology, has woman come to the front as inter- preters and teachers of the religion of christianity. As teachers’ of bible classes women excel, and in some instances they occupy the pulpit though not so well fitted for that as for the more quiet and search- ing work ot the bible class. In the domain of religious poetry women oceupy aleading position, and it 1s but natural it |h0ubicfmbe 80, for who so well fitted to express the highest aspiration of the soul, the purest and most fervent desires of the heart than the sex whose whole nature is devotional, and to whom purity naturally belongs. It is to one of these sweet singers. of Israel that I desive to attract your at- tention to-day. Miss Frances Ridley Havergal, a name which is & houséhold word to-day in_thousands of homes in this land, and wherever the English tongue is spoken. The daughter of a clergyman of this church 1n Eunglund, she early showed signs of talent in try and music ; but what was better still, she as early realized the respon- sibility such gifts entailed. When only a school girl she accepts the responsi- bility of the formation of character, as being in her own hands. Compares the spirit to u(precto\lu diamond, the rough cutting of which 15 done in the early school life, the further polishing and grinding of which depends on ones self, aud if neglected, (sho asks in a let- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, ter to a friend) how shall we find an ex- cuse with the Great Master Jeweller who has given the costly stone into our care. Sent to a school in Germany where there were 110 girls not one of which cared for religion, she felt for the first time the necessity of decision. She was compelled to nail her colors to the mast to take a higher standard than ever before, and come out boldly and decidedly on the Lord’s side. She was not sentimental but intensely practical, a girl with overflowing animal spirits and not without a certain perversences of nature which needed continual care and supervigion, and yet the deepest feeling of religion seemed a part of her very nature. The secret of her power 1o reach the hearts of her hearers through sacred song was that she felt herself to be uttering a message [rom God. She would go to a large London party and when asked to sing in a crowded room, withont any ostensation or display would deliver a message a8 if she saw n smile of God's n}vproml resting upon her. Her beautiful consceration hymn expresses the secret of her wonderful influence over all with whom she came in contact. So thoroughly did she real- ize this consecration n¥ herseli and all her powers that she never allowed an opportunity to passto speak a word for Jesus. When traveling abroad for her health she would translate some of her }memn into Italian or German, gather a ew people around her, slnF for them, read for them from the scriptures and then talk to them lovingly about her king. All through her life all that she did was marked by the presence of a purpose. . She was never s0 happy as when play- ing merrily with children, but her deep sympathy with others joys and sorrows and her loyal longings that all should know the “joy unspeakable and full of glory.” Iwish I had time to dwell upon her noble life, but the short limits of a discourse will not permit. It only remains to press home the example of such a life on you dear hearers—con- trast your life with hers. Many of you have given yourselves to Jesus in the same sweet service of conformation of which Miss Havergal speaks. Would the world know it by your life, by your acts of sell denial, by your love for the Master service? Would your friends know it by the sweet influence a conse- crated life always sheds around? Would your friends know it by the interest you take in these souls health? ‘‘You have young men friends many of whom are rarely seen in God’s house, if ever— would they know that you are a daughter of the King? Have you re- buked them when speaking lightly of what should be dearer to you than life, ‘“the religion of your King?” Have you ever spoken to them of their soul’s peril ? Is their company as agreeable as though they were worthy to be called ‘‘Sons of the King.”” Oh, think of the precious influence, that be- cause it is not being exerted on the side of right, is being given toward strength- ening these young men in their present evil way Rouse ye, christian women, and see the evil of your present luke- warm position. Come out on the Lord’s side and be not ashamed to work for Jesus. And you who have not yet given yourselves to God as_daughters of the King, will you need further urging? Obey the prompting of the gentle spirit of God that is now pleading with you. Then, if you have lived as a daughter of the King, your last end will be like hers—in the midst of her suffering she thought only of her meeting with her King. sl A Political Alderman, Even councilmen are not above in- dulging in the little pleasantnesses which delight ordinary mortals. Occu- sions corroborative of this statement transpire every little while in the de- liberations of the Bluffs municipal body. With few exceptions these little tilts have been between the republican city engineer and his democratic associates in the council. Possibly the difference in politics is the 1noiting cause; at least the lust demonstration, which occurred last Saturday evening, would lend one to sugponc s0. This latter scene intro- duced Engineer Tostevin and Alderman Lacy as the principal actors, with the remainder of the council as most inter- ested spectators. In reading the bills for the month past one was presented for work done in cleaning manholes and flushing sewers, amounting to about 810, Thisbill was certified to by the city e~ gineer, as the work was done under his irection. The reading of the bill bronght Lacy to his feet. *‘I sliould like to know,” he asked, “by what authority the engineer has this work done?” He stated that some time agothis work was placed in the hands of the supervisor and the work had been since done by the members of the fire department, and he could not see why the change was made. The engineer replied by referring to a seotion of the city ordinances which made this work a part of the duties of the engineer. The mayor turnedto the section, read it, and was of the opinion that the action of the engineer was cor- rect. Alderman Lacy replied: ‘“Your honor, that work was done all last summer by the other men, and now, right in the dead of winter, just before election, the engineer finds a convenient ordinance to warrant him in putting a man and an assistant at work at the city’s expense. Perhaps he needs votes, but the city should not be made to pay for them. There is no small-pox nor yaller ‘fever, nor no such dreaaful diseasein the city, and I can’t see why the engineer should be so active just at this time.” The reply by the engineer that he was running his office economically was another prod in the side of the uf- derman. “Oh, you are all right,” retorted Lacy. ‘“Everybody knows you. You never do anything but what is right. Everybody knows that.” *‘Yes,” replied the engineer, “and overybody knows that you never doany- thing right. I want you to understand, sir, you can’t bulldoze me a little bit. I shall run m{ office to the best ‘'of my ability and if you don’t like it take the lees of it.” The presenting of another bill for supplies used in the engineer’s office was auother boom. The bill had run for fifteen months, and the amount ay- eraged about 75 cents per month, . *Do you mean to say,” asked Lacy, *‘that that is all the expense of your of- fice during that time?” l]-:ngA—- es sir, That is the big end of it Lacy—I" don't upderstand why -the bill wasn’t presented before. Eng.—Because I knew how you would roar when it was presented and I wanted to keep you out of agony as long as pos- sible, 1f Alderman Lacy’s idea was to. make pelitical capital for himself in his. party against Mr, Tastevin he should know that such efforts are futile, for the en- rinecr has made a' record during his erm of office and by this record the people will judge him. It is. a signifi- un{l fact that no one except those of his political oqvonenu who have had an “axe to grind” have discovered any reason why he should not be retained in the office he has so ably filled. Engineer Foster explained his reason for incurring this enormous debt of $10. It wae ncoessary for men to go into tnese manholes and clean them out. The fire- pieni would -not do thik dfrty work. It was not Fight to aek thém to. It.didnot fall in'their line. t ba . Alderman Lacy evidaiifly made the war to give Tostevin.a start, hoping that it would cause him lose some blood on election duy. ‘It geemed rather small business for any alderman, but es- peeially one of Pat Laoy'sstanding. If Lacy was half as anxigus for the police department to clean out the gambling houses as he pretends to be for the fire department to ¢lean out the manholes nis record would be more consistent. ——i Money to loan.

Will be returned alive.” If newspapers abounded_ in Ceylon as much as crocodiles do, ndvertisements worded like the foregoing would be common in their want columns. Asit is, the English hunter has to secure his baby by personal solicitation. He is often successful, for Ceylon parents, as a rule, have unbounded confidence in the hunters, and will rent their babies out to be used as crocodiie bait for a small consideration. Ceylon crocodiles suffer greatly from ennui. They prefer to lie quite still, soothed by the sun's glittering rngn, and wile away their lazy lives in medi- tation. But when a dark-brown infant with curling toes sits on a bank and blinks its eyes at them, they throw off their cloak of laziness and make their prepa- rations for a delicate morsel of Ceylon- ese buby humanity, When the croco- dile gets about half way up the bank the huunter, concealed behind some reeds, opens fire and the hungry crocodile has his life and appetite taken away at the same time. The sportsman_secures the skin and head of the crocodile and the rest of the carcass the natives make use of, This way of securing crocodiles might be objected to by American mothers. The ~ American infant imagination might be shattered by the devouring gaze of a healthy saurian who hasn’t had his dinner; but we are creditably informed by certain English crocodile ‘hunters that the average Ceylon infant displays o passive indifference to his ad- vances, and the only thing which fright- ens him is the report of the gun. gy That tired feeling and loss of appetite are entirely overcome by Hood’s Sarsap- arilla, the peculiar medicine.
