Judge Aylesworti has dissolved the in- unction restraining the council from allow- ng the fees of the aldermen as members of the board of equalization. The injunction was secured for the purpose of clubbing the council into paying over appearance money forfeited by the saloon keepers to Mynster, Lindt & Seabrook.

It s based on the assertion of the defendant that two of his most im- vortant witnesses, Charles Liebold and John Scheffier, are absent from the city, the §former in Colorado and the latter n ‘Wisconsin, and that ho cannot very well af- ford to go to trial without them. The de- fendant thinks that if the trial is postponea till the next term he will be able to geu these witnesses here and prove by them that the shooting was doue in self-defonse.

LAWSON DESIRES RE-ELECTION, A Revival Sermon From the Baptist Pulpit— It Will fie Followed by Others During the Week— General and P rsonal. The School Election. The annual school election will take place today, and every voter who has the interests of the public schools at heart should show it by bis presenco at the polls. Two mem- bers of the school board are to be elected, and the nominees on the two tickets in the fleid are as follows: Democratic, G. S. Lawson and A. T. Elwell; citizens’, Lucius Wells and C. B, Waite. Two propostiions for new school buildings will also be submitted to the people. They read as follows: First Proposition—Shall the board of di~ rectors of the independent school district of the eity of Council Bluffs. ia., be authorized and directed to issue bonds of the said dis, trict in the sum of §10,000 or 80 much thersof a8 shall be necessary to construct a school building upon the ground now owaed by said trict at the corner of Avenue B and venty-fifth street, in this city. Second Proposition—Shall the beard of directors of the independent school district of Council Biulls, Ia., be authorized and di- rected to issue bonds of the said district in the sum of $10,000 or so much thereof as shall be necessary 1o coustruct a school building in the vicinity of the intersection of Harrison street and Fleming avenue, or Harrison street and Benton street, in this city ‘The polling places in the various wurds will be the same as at the municipal election held lust Monday. It is probable that the the most work to secure an elect Lawson, wno is doing more active hustling than the other three combined, and there is not the sligh:test doubt but that he needs to, us there is a vast deal of oppesition to inm. His re-election will be as bitterly opposed by democrats as by republicans, as his course during the past threo years while a member of the board has failed by a very large majority to give satisfaction. There is no objection to El- well, other than that he is on the wrong ticket, and he will undoubtedly receive the full democratic vote. Lawson will be scratched and the name of Lucius B. Wells, the democratic nominee on the citizens' ticket substituted. Before the democratic convention was lield, th_ party organ, tho ilobe, declared in_ favor of nons partisanstip in school matters, and urged the nomination of a democrat and a republican to fill the vacan- cies about to cecur, but this course was not followed out by the convention, which nom- inated two democrats. The citizens’ conven- tion, however, endorsed the idea, and nom- wated & non-partisan ticket, and that 1s what they will endeavor to elect today. Lawson was out all day yesterday; in fact, he has been working bkard the past three weeks, and he was accompanied by his two allies, Messrs. Hunter and Blaxsim. These two members are as anxious to secure Law- son’a re-election as is Mr, Lawson himself, and they all put in the Sabbath, which w: tne last day of grace peddling election tick- ets and booming Lawson as if their very lives depended ou it, They passed the afternoon in the Manhattan, where they buttonholed such of the newcom- ers” as they thought they could handle. When not actually engaged in injecting Lawsonism into a voter they were holding mysterious triangular caucuses in a corner, the result of which cannot be told until after the votes are counted. It is understood that Lawson is making all kinds of promises in order to catch votes. 1t is certain that his reckless promises are getting him badly taugled up in the western part of the city. 1t is all on account of the new school build ing that is to be erected there. tion is not yet determined upon and the citi- zens are not united as to which of the pro- posed sites shall be chosen. The choice lies between the Metcalf tract and a half block owned by J. W. Squires. Residents on_ the north side of Broadway want it on the Met- calf tract and the south siders want 1t over there on the Squire tract. Now then, in order to catch the votes of both sides, Law- son has been making some disjointed promiss He tells the north siders that it ne is elected he will seo that the Metcalf tract is selected, while he assures the souti- siders that the selection of the Squire tract can only be brought about by electing him for unother three years' term on the school bourd. How he cau reconcilo thess promises is a matter of conjecture, but 1t apparently gives hum little concern, ns what he is fish- ing for just at present is a few votes.

The water runs when Bixby plumbs, e “A Genu ne Revival.” The Rev. S. F. Patterson, the moted re- vivalist, occupied the pulpit at the First Baptist church at the morning hour yester- day and preached the opening of a series of revival sermons that ars to be delivered at the church each evening this week. Despite the very inclement weather, the attendance was large, and the minister's eloquent dis- course awakened a deep interest. His sub- Ject was “A Genuine Revival,” and his text forms a part of Habakkuk's prayer after 1srael had been ip tivity about thirty-tive years, when their interest in God's service had declined, many of them having become idolaters and when there was u general in- difference to religious observances, The speaker said a genuine revival is a genuine awakening of the church and a gen- uine conversion of souls. The word revive means to reamimate, renew. Revivals are not confined to particular seasons of the ar, nor to particular communities. There is a need of revival whon there is an absence of brotherly love among Christians. A re- vivalis needed when the sins of God's peo- ple become a reproach to the cause of ro- ligion. ‘The sins which appear most promi- nent in the church are coveteousness and sinful associations.*A revival is needed when sinners appear unconcerned about the mat- ter of salvation. 'There 18 nota community in the northwest where there 18 not a large number of sinners practically outside of the reach of the churches, and there has never been a time since the duys of the flood when sinners wero more careless avout their sal- vation than in this evening of the nlueteenth century. Revivals are of great value to the cause of religion on account of the great work they ccomplish. A vory large proportion of the embership of the Christian church were converted in times of revivals, and were it not for these special efforts Lo save sinners thousands would go down to death unsaved every year who could have been saved through revival effort. Many Christians look with horror upbon the utterances of liberalists but at the same time question the advisability of speciul efforts to bring about revivals, The sermons of Henry Ward Beocher and Prof. Swing, and others of their school of theology, ure looked upon us dapgerous heresies, but that skepticism which questions the importauce of true Kospel efforts to promote revivals is a more dungerous heresy than ever came from Beocher or Swing. In the times of President Finney, when great rovivals prevailed in various portions of the country, there was considerable dis- cussion about the advisability of special effort for revivals, and much opposition to them. They were discussed bafore presby- terios and associations to the injury of the work, Mr. Finney ouce indignantiy ex- claimed: “There s a jubilee in hell every time these associations ‘meet.” 1 was once present st @ pastor's meeting when there was a di on about the mh’lubiluf of sccuring the aid of an evangelist to lead the churches and pastors in special efforts for a revival, The doctors of divinity de- clared themselves opposed to any such wove ment unless the evangelist would work along thesame line that the pastors worked. I 100k occaslon W say: “Lreilren, accords THE OMAHA DAILY BHE: MONDAY, ing to the most reliable information 1 can obtain there are 40,000 people in this city, and not to exceed 2,000 Christians of all evangelical donomina- tions. Thirty-cight thousand people are therefore in sin and darkuess, and a large proportion of them are practically outside of the reach of the churshes, In view of these facts I am in favor of going ou side of the lines. A Sunday servica may awaken the sinner, but beforo another Sunday comes arond he is likely to loss those impressions, and other Sunday services are not likely to' make tho same impressions again, and he becomes harder than before. Thus the ordinary sery- ices narden sinners and in many instances place them beyond the reach of the gospel. In a revival meeting one telling impression is foliowed by another uutil the sinner is brought to a decision. The people to whom Christ preached most frequently became gospel hardened. It1s in accordance with all experience that people living in commu nities that have not been favored with gos- pel privileges readily accept Christ when special efforts are made among them, while those who have been favored with regular church services are very hard to reach. A very large proportion of the church were converted before they reached the uwe of twenty-five. Unless there are frequent re- vivals in a community the young people are soon hadened iu sin andto the gospel, and outside of its reach, There is no other way but by revivals that a church can grow n grace, Nothing else wiil save a declining church from annibilation., Revivals are pro moted by the personal consecration of God’s people, and by the prayers of the conse- crated Christians unitedly and 1n secrot. They are promoted by the co-operation of pastors and churches in organized efforts to save sinners, The wpower of the pulpit never held an audience long at @ time, There must be other work connected with ir. There must be organized effort to bring people to the house of Go Revivals are promoted by tho personal sacrifices of Gou's people; by the faithful preaching of the gospel; by the implicit obedience of God’s people. An instance of the utility of obedience is the brillant achievements of the troops under Sheridan at Winchester. The general was at Winchester, twenty miles away, when he heara of the demoralization of his army in the Shenandoah valley. After his famous ride he flew along tne columan for two miles, shouting as he dashed along, ‘“‘Come on, boys: we will camp tonight where we camped last night.” Cheer after cheer rolled up as they followed him and whirled the rebel army down the valley and did camp that night where they camped the night before, When we 1o forward with such persistency, consecrated to God, the victory is surely ours. The fire has begun. Let us charge on the enemy in the name of the Lord of Hosts, Mr. Patterson is a very earnest speaker, -| and impresses the listener with his strone sincerity. His meetings each evening this waek will no doubt draw large audiences, ‘WHICH GIRL? New York Ledger: Louis Worthing- ton sat behind the closed doors of his newly acquired office and struggled with his thoughts. How full of hope seemed this great wealth that had come to him so unexpectedly, after a yoath of mere competence! And yet the con- dition! No one dreamed of a condition, not even his mother. When his old uncle had died suddenly and on the reading of the will it wae discovered that Lou is was sole” heir, every one felt that he must be happy. Here he was in possession of the great iron mills and other properties, which every one had expected would go to charities, since old Mr. Worthington had always pro- fessed the greatestdislike for his broth- er’s widow and her son. There was no disappointed relative to make Louis’ life a burden, and how could he help being content? But they did not know the contents of that awful letter the lawver had handed him, marked: ‘For my heir—to be opened immediately after my death.” A few instructions as to the mill business, a deal of advice as to his general conduct in life, the grimly characteristic reason for his magnificent bequest, that if the *‘last ‘Worthington could be saved from gu'mg to the dogs, so much the better,” and then this dreadful sentence,thatseemed to stand out in letters of fire as Louis gazed on the blank office wall: “And for all this, only one condition. If in eix months you are not engaged to be married, and in one year are not married, [ shall expect you, on'your honor as a Worth- ington, to divide my property between the stata reform school nluanrvnn! university, for L don’t believe a man con be successful in life unless he has a smart wife before he 18 twenty-six or seven.” “A smart wife!” And his nephew thought of the poor little married woman he dimly remembered as Aunt Susan. A smart wifel What a Yankee his uncle had been! And not that like him too, that he, a nnecticut man born and bred, should leave his mouney to Harvard, in case of his his nephew’s defection? And he had known it would be doubly bitter for Louis, who had such innate love for his own Alma Mater, Yale. But how could he fall in love to order? He was far too honorable to think for an instant of marriage without love. And yet it would almost break his mother’s heart to give up the fortune she had so prized for her boy. And, being a healthy- minded American’ young man, he had no spec'al desire to give 1t up, himself. At le ist he need not tell her yet, and he must try to find some girl he could care for, So, sitting at his uncle’s old desk, he thought over all the girls he could remember in his boyish days, me- chanically writing their names on a great shéet of business paper. After his college life he had travelled two years abroad as tutor—bear leader, he alwas called ivin college phrase---of a western youth, He had enjoyed these years, for the boy was bright, but now the latter had come home for ccllege, and just as Louis was looking for anoth~ er position his uncle died. So he could have only childish recollections of Train ville, where he had seldom spent a college vacation, and finally his list narrowed down to three: Virginia Black, Mary Crawford. Jessie Baucroft. These he knew to be refined and edu- cated girls, He did not think of en- larging his list by girls outside of Trainville, for he did not know of one who might fill the place he wished; and why should he go elsewhere, anyway? Oné of these girls would do as well as any. He sat some time longer in thought, then tore up the sheet of paper, left the office and walked rapidly |mme. He and his mother still occupied the old house unti the larger one his uncle had built should oe thoroughly reritted and ready for them. His mother was only too glad to see him home early, and they sat down in the shabby little veranda that held so many childhood remembrances for Louis. After a little desultory talk the latter said: “But I haven’t half asked after my old schoolmates, mother. Where are Allen Benton and Dick White? It's tully a year since I heard from either.” When she had given him all the news she could of the boys, he added—oh! so carelessly: “And the girls? Virgima Black— where is she? Saucy us ever?” “Virginia¥ Why, she married a year and a half ago, I'thought I wrote you. New Yor's man—a really low char- acter, I thought.” *Too bad!" he answered, sympathet- ically, inwardly groaning: *“One chance Aftera moment he inquired: ary Crawford?” 'O she is still b was. I do think she is as nice a girl us I ever knew.” | A good mark went down for Mary and then— “Jessie Bancroff?!" “Her futher is Umted States congress- man from our disttiét now, you know, and they live in Washington, not even spending their summers here. She's is very bright and attractive, I believe, though 1 haven't seon her lately.” Was his list to contain but one name? He must make one more effort. *““Aren’t there any newcomers? Who has the Baucroft pluce?” ““That is closed; but there is ons very interesting new family here—the Chesters—at the old Goodwin pl There are three of the children. Gladys, Dot and Joe. Gladys is twenty-two or three; Dot perbaps nineteen—I don’t know il she is quite; and Joe fifteen. They are all very pleasant. Mr. Ches. ter manages the cotton mills across the river from your uncle’s---yours, I menn. They were rich once, I am told, but through somebody or other's rascality lost all their property and now have only his salary. Gladys fairly lends the }uwn in everything---wakes it right u His mother left to superintend the evening me and as he smoked an in- troductory cigar he meditated. Mar or Gladys? He rather liked the das of the latter, but very evidently his mother would prefer the former. Ii- nally he gave it up with asiph and went in to supper. In accordance with Louis’s custom, the meal was, in all but name, dinuer, but he could not conquer village prejudice enough to call it that, so they had breakfust, luncheon and supper, and Louise mischeviously com- plained that he had only had dinner twice since he had been home---Sun- days—when it was allowable to have it late. When the meal was done he sug- gested to his mother a walk over to the Chesters’. *I wustn’t be so unneighborly,” he said. “They will think I have forgot- ten my manners. Itisn’t very far.” So they nt. It was still light, for the calling-time at Trainville wns at 7:30, and on this July evening itseemed very early. As they came in sight of the Chesters Louis whistled long and low with astonishment. ‘*Ye gods and little fishes! Tennis in Trainyillel Didn’t suppose they’d ever heard of it. Well, I haven’t been down this road before, but I have about every other here, and I'll wager it’s the only sport in town—in village would, per- haps. be better.” “Yes,” answered his mother. ‘'l like )er,)yple do to see them myself, but some think it’s a little rompy for girls. 1f those “‘some” hm{ only been there then! 1t was near the close of an ex- citing game. Three girls and a boy made up the set, and the grace of the former was well brought out by the coltishness of the latter, though his nose in the game counted for much more than a backgroand. ‘When the Worthingtons opéned the gate the players stopped by mutual con- sent and then: “Good evening, Mrs. said Glady’s fresh young voice. ma will be very glid to see you.” “Good evening.” *Good evenin%” came from the other girls, while Joe muttered, *"HoWw de do?” in a sheepish kind of way. “Good evening. my dears,” replied the goodlady. **Will you allow me to present my son [Louis, Miss Chester awd Miss Dorothy? Miss Crawford you know already, Louis.” And she bowed Worthington,” *“Mam- in acknowledgment of the new ac- quaintance and the old. “And this is Joe Chester,” she added. Louis turned with a good-natured smile. *‘I am glad to kaow Joe.” he eaid. “'m going to beat vou at tennis many a time, young man.” This roused Joe silence. “Humph!” he announced. “Guess T can play some!” and they all walked toward the house. Louis found himseif with Miss Chester, Miss Dorothy en- tertaining his mother, and Mary talk- ing with Joe. “*You must be very glad to be back here, Mr. Worthington,” Gladys was saying, “‘even though it is stupid after Earope.” . Stupid!” he said. *‘Idoun’t think I ever put it in that light. 1am very busy in getting the hang of things at the mills. And you see, it is years since 1 could really feel I had mother to myself.” Gladys thought it very nice in him to prize the companionship of his mother s0 much, and dec ded immediately that she should like him. Mrs. Chester met them on the broad veranda, und Louis found her charming. He remembered the place asa rather shabby, big old house, very plain ouatside and in, and he was agreeably surprised to find it with a great veranda around three sides, being elsewhere improved in pro- portion. Nothing was costly or ele- gaut, but everything bore the impress of refinement und artistic taste. Mr. CHester soon camo in, and Louis found him f:lly up tothe family stand- ard. In person, Gladys *‘favored,” as the phrase goes, her father, being tall, slender and dark, with a swift, casy grace and dush that carried everything before it. Dorothy—every one insisted on calling her Dotty or Dot—was not so tall, but as slender, and had a quiet, bright way that would doubtless rival Gladys’ briliancy in time to come. Joe was a very fine sample of the average dark-haired and dark-eyed boy of his age. Mary Crawford was lighter than the Chesters, and very sweet in face and manner. { Louis spent a very pleasant evening, and the next afternoon—half-past four —found him approaching the Chesters in tennis suit. The rest of the party were on the lawn, .Joe and Gladys pluy- ing a careless game, while Dotty and Mary talked to Mrs. Chester. Mary did not eure to play, and Louis found it quite natural somehow to play with Gladys. He was, 'or had been, quite an expert at the game, but, uh!mugh Gladys played well; Dorothy did re- markable work for & girl, and the game was very even. When at last the sup- per bell rang Louis had passed a de- tightful two hours, spd needed no urg- ing to promise to geme again soon. Day after day he pluyed there, or they all played at the court he had had made at the *‘new place,” as his uncle’s house was called. Mary Cpawford was always of tne party, and ofton one or another of the village youths, When it rained they played quoits in the Chesters’ barn, Joe discovered that, after all, Louis couid beat him at tennis or 4lmost anything else he suggested, and hence- forth looked up to him as a model of athletics and manliness in general. The days and weeks passed, but Louis found it harder every hour to decide. The sweet reserve of Mary or the quick wit of Gladys? He would have chosen the latter, porhaps, but for his mother's evident preference for Mary. Dotty surprised him mostol all, and was by no means an unimportant member of the group; she was so full of life in ths tennis court and so quietly kept herself in the backeround elsewhere. Finally, about the first of September, the Worthingtons decided,as their new home ready for them, to give a ‘‘house warming.” Louis told himself that he must settle the question that night. Two months were gone, and he must have somd time after his wooing from his shy MARCH 10, 18Y0 “Bradley T are making such low prices and favorable terms that their com- petitors make the above assertion.

The prepara- tions for the fete were extensive, as all the mill hands—his own and those from the cotton mills—were invited to a grand supper on the lawn, while the house was reserved for his own friends, He liked the [English way of dglug that sort of thing, and did 1t in a very generous manner. He had found, after all, that there were other eligible girlsin Trainville, though he had not turned toward any | of them with matrimonial views; and ' with these, their brothers, and a few college friends, imported for the occa- sion, he thought the affair might be a success. It was. The night was glorious—not moon- light, but with a multitnde of stars. ! The lawn was brilliant with Japanese lanterns, and frequent fireworks de- lighted the younger and the older of the mill people. After Louis had inaugurated their supper with a mild toast—drunk in lem- onade, as he wasn't quite Inglish enough to thivk beer good for them— he felt at hiberty ‘o join his other guests. These he found enjoying the fine music of the city orchestra, and, for tho most part, having thoroughly examined the beautiful house, making good use of the meloay for dancing. After greeting again various people, Louis sought out the group where the Chesters and Mary Crawford were, and, after a few moments, asked Gladys for a turn. Then Mary. Then he would have asked Dotty, but she was nowhere to be secn. ““Where is Miss Dorothy he asked Gladys.

But he saw Mrs. Chester talking to his mother. He really must ask Miss Dorothy for a dance, you know, but 1f she wys in the dressing-room he must wait. Seeing every one occupied and apparentiy enjoying the music, he wan- dered out to the only partof the grounds he bad reserved for his special guests. This was a lovely little nook naturally inclosed by howthorne hedges, and he concluded it to be empty now. Very good place to think. Which? He was as much at sea as ever,and was walking along disconsolately, trying, man-like, to find some solution by plunging his hands deep 1n his pockets, when he heard the unmistakable sound of sob- bing near him. He stopped abruptly and then went quickly toward the spot whence the sound cume. Here was Dorothy, sitting on a bench in an aban- don of grief. “‘Miss Dorothy!’’ he cried, in alarm, “What is it?” Dorothy jumped to her feet and showed a rather distorted countenance. As she nervously made little dabs at her oyes, with a very moist handkerchief, she stammered: *Oh, I didn’t think any one would come. I—I am sorry, but I couldn't help it.” He looked puzzled and was at a loss for words. when she broke forth with a fresh woe: *Oh! I did look forward so much to this! It’s the first real dance I've ever been to,and 1 had anew gown and everything. It’'s babyish to cry, I know,’—and she straightened up de- terminedly—*'but I did feel so badly. But I didn’t tell you, did 1?7 The heel came off my slipper!” She held out the slender foot in its dress of creamy white, looking, certainly, a little 0dd in a heelless slip- per. “Why don’t you send home for another?” he asked, much relieved, “Why, I haven’t any more. We sen to New York for th 1 couldn’t put on black ones, you know. If I stopped to go home, anyway, I shouldn’t got back.” And she sat down again with quiver- ing lips. Louis felt strangely moved at her incoherent recital, somehow, and now he sat down beside her. [t seemed very natural to take the little whit gloved hand in his, and he was quite surprised when she drew them away, blushing. *Why, what's the matter?” he asked. Then he happened to think of some- thing that astonished him. “Why, I love you Dorothy,” he said. *‘Didn’t you know it? Can you care for me,Dor- othy? Tell me, darli And Dorothy’s confused answer was such that the condition. in old Mr. Worthington’s will was sa‘istied. STRANGE USES OF PAP:R. Bezinning to Take the Place of stecl Ir Paper is now made to serve for steel ana 1wron, When strong fiber is used it can be made into a substance so hard that it can scarcely be scratched. Rail- road cars are made of it more durable than iron, says the St. Louis Stationer, A store in Atlanta, Georgia, has been built entirely of paper. The rafters, weather-bords, roof and flooring ave all made of thick compressed puper boards, impervious to er, Onaccountof the se of the paper being smooth awd rd it cannot catch on tire us easily as a wooden building, It is found warmin cold an cool 1n bot weather.

Cracks in floors around the skirting board, or other parts of a room, may be neatly filled by thor- oughly soaking newspaper in paste made as thick as putty and forced into the cracks with a paste-knife. It will soon harden and can be painted. Black walnut picture framesare made of paper and so colored that no one can tell them from the origina! wood. A paper piano has lately been exhibited in Paris. The entire c: is made of compressed paper, to which is given a hard surface, a cream-white brilliant polish. The legs and sides are orna- mented with arabesques and floral de- signs. Tne exterior, and as much of the interior as can be seen when the in- strument is open, are covered with wreaths and medallions painted in miniature. An Italian monk has suc- ceeded in constructing an organ where the pipes are made of paper vulp. It has 1,400 pipes of various sizes.

It has so far proved 80 successful that the trust propose erecting mills av different points in the cotton raising country, Of course, this will somewhat revolutionize the paper trade. A new mill for the manufacture of paper from moss has been recently es- tablished in Sweden. Paper of differ- ent thickness and pastboard wmade of it have already been shown, the latter even in in sheets three-quarters of an inch thick. [t is as hard as wood, and can be easily painted and polished. It has all the good qualities, but none of the defects of wood. The pastboard can be used for door and window frames .| architectural ornaments and all kinds of furuiture. The ceiling of the assem- bly chamver at Albany, N. Y., is made of pupier-mache. It is a model of its kind, and appears so like marble as to deceive the most expert eye. The latest ideu is to usc paper instead of wood for lead pencils, by using a patent prepara- tion by which it can be cut as easily as he softest wood. e will find Mrs. Winslow’s ‘rup the best remedy for their 5 cents a bottle. e A Creamery Trust.y £1.
