The Temperance Women Form an Organization — llness of Re- corder Burke—The Oity’s Finances—Personals, A Personal Message. Yesterday the regular quarterly meeting was held in the Broadway Methodist church, conducted by the presiding elder of the dis- trict, Rev. W. T. Smith, D.D., of this ci The attendance was unusually large, auditorium of the church being filled to extont of its seating capacity. ‘The proceed- ings included a brief business session relat- ing expressly to the financial condition of the charge. The report of the treasu Mr. Barnett, showed that the total cipts of the quarter amountod to $1,035.25 and the expenditures to $1,605.40, and that the dehcit left $176.73 of the pastor’s salary unpaid. The call for assistance was liberally re- sponded to, and the deficiency. largely made up. In the absence of the pastor, Rev. Dr. Frankim, Presiding Elder Smith filled the pulpit. He chose tor the basis of his dis- course these words from the first epistle of John: ‘‘Theso things write we unto you that your joy may be full. This then is the message we have heard of Him, and declare unto you that God is light and in Him there 18 no darkness.” ‘This letter is written to the christians of Council Bluffs as much as it was to those of the young church ninety years after the christian cra. We are prone to think that lotters and messages in the bible are ad dressed to u remote people who have lived ina remote age, and we fail to appreciate them. If I were to say that I had a letter here in my pocket from the apostie John, written to the people of Council Bluffs, all ‘would be eager 1o hear it, and would take to their hearts every word of it. This letter is for us, for you that sit here. Itis your let- ter. 1t is & general epistle, and we can ap- propriate it to ourselves, and realize fully that it was meant for us individually. This is one of the secrets of the full and proper comprehension of God’s word. If we could read all the epistles so we could take them to our hearts as easy as if our names were prefixed, and the writer's name afixed to them. The epistle was written to convey to you this message: ‘‘We have heard of Him and declare unto you that God 18 light and in Him there is no darkness; if we contess our sins, Ha is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all nnrightcousness.” All she word of God is_calculated to give us joy. The tirst thing said in this epistle to us isthe confident assertion that all things Jesus said are true; the things we have seen and heard present we unto you. Many peoplelook upon all this as tradition and a kind of supersti- tion, but here is the positive assertion of something we know about. Tt is evidence that the religion of Christ is founded upon knowledge and things positive. Strauss, the wreat German infidel, has tried to make Chrisvs religion a myth. John would say to him that we here see and know the things whereof we speak. 'This onght to come to us with a great deal of joy this morning. There is no doubt about the reality of Christ’s re- ligion. These men gavetheir lives in attes- tation. It is no little distinction to stand side by side with this beloved disciple ~ and share his joys. He writes these blessed things to us that we may have fellowship with Him, fellowship with Jesus. In our lives in this world we may not have a great share of the honors that come to men, but great is the honor to have this fellowship with the son of God. ‘The relation of the character of God ought to fill us with great joy. Men will close their eyes to these things and_grope.in dark- ness, but in God there is no darkuness. His light beams into the soul, not the intellect. These little children here know more of the future than the greatest man lLving where this light is not known. On the Ganges river in India on occasions of religious fes- tivals, half a million people will sometimes be assembled in the night time, each launch- ing & tiny boat bearing a feeble light. Theso are people who have lost friends, and these tapers are to light their souls across the sacred river. They have been taught not thav God is light, and do not willfully close their oyes and grope in darkuess, Lot us take this book as it 18 written, directly to us. Here is another thought, God’s method of dealing with sin, There is nothing that should fill us with more joy than this mes- sage, “if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive.” It is the grandest and best message thut ever came to human ears, It is the only satisfactory solution of the problem that involves the whole human race. From the earliest dawn of human life where God’s light has not. shone every nation and men have tried to make atonement, some by inflicting cruel bodily pain and sufféring pen- ance, and others by weary pilgrimages, but there has been no thougatof fzixiveness, Ouly in the religion of Jesus ir. this blessed promise given that God proposes 1o give us pardon if we do our part. If this was the first time we had ever heard this assurance we would jump to our feet and shout *‘Glory to God,” 1 have never shouved and may never until Ireach the other shore, but if this came to me asa promise for the first time, my voice could not be restrained. There are but two classes, the pardoned and unpardoned. There are but two ways to go, the right and the wroug. We will never go the right way, we will never reach heaven unless we are pardonea. Oh my brethren, are you forgiven of your sirsi This message of the beloved disciple, re- ceived from his crucified and risen master in heaven, is for you. Jesus whispers it in your hearts and pleads for your answer, At the conclusion of the sermon the sacra- ment of the Lord’s supper and holy com- munion was administered. All christian people, regardless of sect, were invited to partake of the communion, About two hun- dred of the regular communitants and a large part of the congregation partook of the sacrament. the the —— If you ave building, investigate Bo- dine Roofing at 115 Pearl street.

A move is on foot to extend North Second street through Fairview cemetery to Gales- burg addition, and open a driveway from there to Harrison street. Mayor Rohrer has donated a strip thirty feet wide from Roher’s park for this purpose, and P. H. Wind has offered to donate u similar strip from his property. It will be necessary for several other property owners to do the same before the necessary land for this proposed drive can be secured. If the scheme can be car- ried out it will make a very enjoyable drive, leading to one of the finest points of observa- tion to be found anywhere in this vicinity, e Money loaned on furmiture, pianos, diamonds, norses, buggies or anything of value at low ratesof interest.

The meeting was presided over by Hon. D, C. Bloomer, and the speakers of the eveu- ing, consistiug of the clergy of the city, occupied positions on the platform. The speakers were Revs. T, J. Mackay, G. W. Crofts, D. W. Cooley, W. F. Smith and Stephen Phelps. Kach spoke earncstly in behalf of the Chautauqua and its advantages, and urged the public to respond liberally to tho vequest to purchaso season tickets. The programme prepared costs 8,000, and every- one will be permitted to enjoy it for the small sum of §3 ,mr ticket for the whole course. Dr. Pholps requested the audience to pledge themselves to purchase & certain number, and in a very short time over §00 was subscribed for tickets with very little dificulty, Owing o the lateuess of the hour the matter was not pushed further, and the mesting adjourned, ~The eitizans seam alive to the magnitude of this grand enter- prise, and will hardiv allow it t fall through on the verge of success, (R Sy The New Ogden is catching traveling men at $2 per day. it Temprrance Women, A goodly number responded to the cali to moet at the Presbyterian church Saturday aftornoon for the purpose of organizing a ‘Women's Christian Temperance Union, The meoting was called to order by Miss E.

GaRHAY R Serious Condition ot 'Squirc Burke. It was reported on the street yesterday afternoon that 'Squire F. A. Burke was fail- ing rapidly, and could live but a short time, Physicians were hastily summoned, and medical relief given the aged nvalid, whose health has not been of the best for several years. His condition remained unchanged until 10 o'clock last evening, when he raliied a little, and at a late hour was resting much more comfortably, although by no means out of danger. His present illness is due to no new developments, but to old age and in- creasing weakness, The veteran squire and ex-city clerk is now in his soventy-fourth year, and as the past fow years have seemingly added notaing to his infirmities, it was hoped that his lease of life would continue for some time to come. His sudden failing last evening was a sur- prise to his many friends, who were shocked at the sad news. His physicians_give little hope of his recovery, and_state that the end is liable to come at any momient.

Too much corn to horses in warm weather will cause profuse perspiration. Oats should be used in preference. Sorrell will grow and seed before you are aware of it unless you keep the ground clear of it. The plantain is an- other troublesome weed that must be watched at this season. A disease commonly known as yellows is attacking fruit trees in Oglethorpe county, Ga..and in some orchards is playing havoe. The leaves of the trees begin by wilting, turning a bright yel- low, and in a week or so the tree is dead. The potato beetle will attack the egg- plant in preference to anything else, and unless such plantsare carefully watched and the beetles picked off they will de- stroy the plants in less than a day. To save the plants they should be exam- ined two or three times a day. U you have ‘any corn fodder the sheep will pick it over and clean the stalks. If the fodder is bright and clean all classes of stock will relish it, If fodder is run through a cutter and the stalks crushed as well as chopped by the cutter there will be but littie waste. The striped cucumber beetle not only destroys the cucumber, but will attack the melon. A gauze covering is the best protection. Later on an applica- tion of strong soapsuds will be partially effectual, but this insect is diffcult to combat, and as many as possible should be desttoyed by hand. ‘When cultivating the ground to de- stroy grass only a few inches deep will suffice. One inch of soil, kept fine, on the top, will serve as a mulch, and in ulverizing it the grass and weeds will e killed. Never let the ground be- come hard and crusty if there is a prob- ability of a dry season. A southern cultivator says the most salable sweet potato is one that is short and thick, and it is to produce these that you plow shallow and make flat hill ridges, so that as the potatoes grow they will reach the hard soil and be checked in their downward growth and will develop thickness. Foot rot is not as prevalent as form- erly, This is due to the sheep being kept on dry ground instead of given only the wet pastures, as before. Sheen should invaribly have shelter at night, but they object to being confined in a close building. An open shed, with dry floor, should Iim provided. The larva of the potatoe beetle is a delicacy o all fkinds of poultry, as they are soft, and are easily killed at that stage in the act of heing eaten, but the mature insect will pass into the crop of a fowl alive, which in the end results in the death of the fowl. For this reason, as a rule, poultry usually neglect them, though turkeys will sometimes feed on them, but at a risk. There is as much art in the work of improving the drones of a hive as to en- deavor to secure better queens. Some swarms of bees are 1o oinbred to endure hard winters. In the natural condition bees are hardy, but when their care is in the hands of the beekeeper his judg- ment is important, and he can do much to add vigor to the swarms. Prof. Linter suggests that London purple or ruriu green may be used on cabbage plants to destroy the striped flea beetle without the least danger of the poison being retsined by the ma~ tured head; aiso that if applied to rad- ishes when the seed leaves put forth above ground, at which time the beetle does the most damage, either poison being soon changed to an inert form in the earth, would in sll probability be harmiess when the radishes should be ready for the table. ——— Have You Catsrrh?—There is one remedy you can tr& without dauger of hum- bug.

One of the most refreshing phases of life in these rapidly growing communi- ties of the far northwest is the yarvioty of character with which one is constant- ly associated, I meet people in Seattle, Tacoma, Port Townsend and Spokane from all over the world, writes John R. Reavis in the Washington Post. Se- attle 15 us thoroughly cosmopolitan in its makeup as San Francisco ov London. Spokane is not much behind. There is alittle more here of what we in the east have been accustomed to call the life of the plains than there isin the sound cities. There is not much sug- gestive of the cowboy about any of the horsebaok riders I have seen in or about Seattle, but the genuine cowboy is no stranger to Spokane. I see him here in great multiplicity every day, though somewhat toned down to meet the ex- acting demands of a most refined and well-behaved element that is in control of the city. They have here a marshal who stands six feet four inches, who has been something of cowboy himself in ‘his time, but who is now a grim-visaged guardian of the peace, and who swoops down on the evil doer with the celevity and precision of an avengzing bolt from Jove himself. He is also drum major of the Spokane brass band, and in his double capacity1s atonce the terror and the admiration of the town, was thrown into this vein of thought concerning the many-sided- ness of life in Spokane, in particular, by having a long talk with one of the inhabitants last night who, though now settled and contented, has had enougn adventures to fill a whole ‘‘Seaside Library,” but whois at this moment entirely intact, barring the loss of one finger and a bullet hole in his thigh. He is but one out of the curious mosaic of people who turn up in the new and thriving cities of this corner of the na- tional domain, Larner, for that is the man’s name, is now bending his ener- gies to the maintenance of a comfort- able looking cigar shop,and being him- self one of his own best patrons, he gave me glimpses of hiy life through the smoke of more than.one fragrant Havana. I have wondetred:if I have enough of the freshness of the story to make it interesting to the readers of the Post. Larner was born in Akibama, and, at fifteen, went into the confederate army, where he served two yoars and ten mouths, the war _closing? with him a prisoner at Selma. When he returned home he found poth mother and father dead, the only remnant of his family being an old colored woman, for whomn he spent all his money in buy. ablack dress. He went to Leavenworth, Kan., where he joined n wagen ~train, and came over te the Pacilie: gide of the continent. He prospected through ‘Ovegon and California; discovered a silver mine, which he sold for $25,000; went to San Franeisco: lost all his money but $7,000 in a gambling house, and then went up to Port Townsend. This was twenty years ago. He traveled all over Puget Sound. At Seattle he found little more than o blacksmith shop and & log cabin or two, but as he stood on the shore and looked out on the bay hefelta suspici creep over him that n great city might some day spring up there. What influ- ence the present magnificenceand glory of Seattle had over Mr. Larner when spoke thus T am unable to say. Be this as it may, he shipped on an English sailing vessel, went around Good Hope and to Liverpool, and then began to foot it through the British kingdom. He wandered all through Ireland, Scotland and England and finally got to France, having stim- ulated his ambition in the meantime by reading Goldsmita’s ‘‘Traveler” and Washington Irving’s “Life of Gold- smith.” From Paris he went to the Rhine to see the homestead of his great-grand- father, then to Havre, where he took a sailing vessel to South America. He traveled on horseback all the way from the south end of Patagonia to Panama, traversing the en- tire length of the continent, and then went through Central America to Mexico. He had learned to speak to speak both French and Spanish, and now undertook a journey on foot through Mexico, finally crossing the Rio Grande into Texas. From San Antonia he rode on horseback to El Paso and then crossed New Mexico to Arizona.: It was in thie latter country that he had his greatest adventures and narrowest es- capes. He lived ten years in southern Arizona, at the time when the Apaches were making graves for white men at every step a horse would take from Stein’s pass to Tuma, and when Cochise and Geronimo were outwitting General Crook and all his cavairymen. “T will never forget my introduction 10 A ,” said Larner, as he lifted his cigar from his mouth, sent the smoke up in a long, winding curl and gave a consolatory grunt that indicated that he was thankful he had been pre- served to tell this story. ‘I was travel- ing alone on horseback, armed with a revolver and a Sharp’s carbine. 1 was a match for twenty Apaches if the would come out and fight epenly. I ha just rode over Stern’s Fass, which is about the dividing line /between New Mexico and Arizona, and was riding along the old road which ran close to what is now the line of ‘the South- ern Pacific. I happened to look up a mountain side almost divectly over me when I saw a lone Indian’ sitting with his hands up to his face gnd his elbows on his knees, watching for some trav- eler to come from the other'direction. 1 knew he would see me in':a moment and Ilet fly at him with ‘my carbive, and he jumped like & deep, ;In a mo- ment ten or fifteen of thgm. rushed off down the mountain to headipe off at a {:ohn‘lower down the vatley, but they ad no guns or horses and [ got away and went on to Fort Bowie. There I was joined by the mail carrier and we started through Apache puss together, he riding in front. We had not gone far when zip! came a dozen arrows and buried themselves in the body of the poor fellow and his horse, Both fell over dead. “I returned to the fort and went through the pass at night, when the Apaches could not see me. I traveled on to Dragoon puss, where I overtook two men from Pennsylvania, and from there on we kept together. Just as we were crossing the Stiennega, thirty miles from Tucson, an arrow hit the horse of one of my companions and killed him instauntly. I took the man up behind me and we broke away as- our best, but the ar- rows oame. like a shower and ‘my horse was the next to fall, and then the third Norse went down. Every horse dead and not one of us seratched. “‘By this time the Indians had shown the mselves in great numbers, 1 think there must have been sixty of them at least. Itwas arace then all the way into Tucson. Anybody who has ever traveled over that country knows how hot and parched it is. Not a drop of water did we have on all that long race of twenty-five miles, We fought the Indians all the way. but wo got into Tucson without a wound. Three months later I built myself an adobe on the Siennegn, near where this trouble began, and I hived there eight years, If you ever rode along there on the Southern Pacific you have probably seen my house, for it stands yet on the banks of a little cut not ten feet from the track. When the railroad came along I left there. “You may think it strange a man could live alone without being killed by the Apaches. 1 took the risk for the sake of the money I made selling feed and water, and giving shelter to emi- grants and travelers who came that way. [sold my hay for all I would ask. and so I did with everything else 1 had. Was 1 ever attacked? I should say soy about three times a month they would come around and give me a brush. I had a hor'se that would always give the alarm. He could smell an Indian three miles off. Whenever I heard that horse snort I knew they were coming. I had the inside walls of my house cov- ered with guns and pistols, and my house was a fort. Sometimes I was alone, but I nearly always had some travelers stopping with me, Of course it sounds strange, but fighting Indians in those dayswas an everyday business in Arizona. I wasnever hit but twice; one time I had an arrow take off the middle finger of the left hand, and at another time I got an ugly rifle ball in my thigh. Those were the only hurts 1 got in the whole eight years. Y And what sort oi execution did you do among the Indians in all that time?” I asked. “What did Tdo? No man tell. Idon’t know all that I self. But here’s a part of did.” As he said this he turned around and pulled from abox under his cigar case a bunch of Indian scalps. ‘‘Count them for yourself,” he said. “Eyery scalp stands for an Apache that dvopped from a shot out of my rifle, but there was many a one 1 never got to lay my hands on atall.” I counted the now dried but some- what ghastly collection of sealp locks, and there were just twenty-four of them. “I don’t make a business of showing these to everybody who comes in here,” said Larner,as he received back his precious memento and_stuffed it down into the box from which he had taken it, * but as you are a tender- foot from Washington City I wanted to try your nerves, But I'm done with Indian fighting now. I got into California, and here I found a girl that could ride iike the wind, ana who was not afraid of anything on the earth or under the earth, and wo made up our minds to marry and come up here and make a home in the great territory of Washington. That was five yeavs ago, and now here you sece me well fixea and contented and——" Just then there came prancing into the shop a chubby-faced boy of three. “Well,” continued the fond parent, “‘and you see we’ve got a boy, too. and I think'a good deal move of him than I do of that bunch of Apache scalps.
