SUNDAY NEWS IN THE BLUFFS Rev T. J. Mackay Talks About Messiah (Orazes, Past and Present. GHOST DANCERS VERSUS MILLERITES. Johnny Maher Arrested Upon o Charge of Forgery —An Entertain- ment for the Home of the ndlees. AtSt. Paul's church yesterday morning Rev.T. J. Mackay gave some interesting thoughts on the subject of Indian and white Mgssiahs, The following 1 the outline of the discour ‘The history of the race has been one of dissatisfaction ana unrest, and a constant looking forward to some volden age which should fultill all the aspirations of mankind. race has had its Messiah, The Jews toone who was to restore their own land and thei national glor He c not as the earth conqueror, _ but as the “Prince of 1 uot to deliver from the Roman yoke, but to set them free from sin. In vain he declared his kingdom was not this world. Even a i chosen disciples, the old leaven lin his crucifixion, ' Despite the warnings of his- tory and the sad cxperience of the Jews, many still believe in a literal coming of a Messiah, who is to reign upon this carth for a usand years. The curious form of fana running like wildfire tribes is simply the repetition phenomena which ve oceurred lands. Deprived of land and liberty natural that they should indulge in the hope 80 common to the race, that a mighty deliv- rer was to arise, Who was to restore to them thei fent privileges and crush the hated whites. This belief may have originated in the teachings of Christionity, and as they heard of the promised Messiuh of the Jew and the Christiap, it was but natural they should be inci by a like hope, Wer mile at their enthusiasm and the ghost dances by which they keep fan m, but when we rem Millerite craze we should hesitate before Judging them harsh Their ghost dances are not much more ridiculous than the nightly meetings of tho Millerites i their whi robes, preparing to meet the Lord in the air. The millenium of the Indian, which con- sists of plenty of buffalo meat and freedom to hunt and fill their belts with scalps of the hated white, 15 but little more gross and ma- teriul than the millenium to which large .mm:)m of intelligent people ave looking for- ward. Notwithstauding their many sad disap- pointments and the flat failures of their prophecies, it is surprising that this belief i still shared in by s0 mauy earnest, sinc Christians. Their peculiar views arve based on the prophecy of Daniel and that eqnaily mystical book, the revelation of St. John, the I commend the reading of Farrar's 3 of Christianity,”” where he conclusively proves that the veyelation is simply a description of the events already happening at the time St. John wrote, are prophecy of the events which were soon to happen 1 the destruction of Jerusalem and the persecutions of Christians under Nero, Were it for no other reason than the vast divergences of the commentators of this won- derful book 1 should be inclined to look with suspicion upon the theories of the adventist, whose views are completely at variance with the l2ading Christion scholars in every land today. But aside from this T cannot see any reason in the eternal fitness of things for the expec- tation that Christ will come in person to reign upon this earth for a thousand ars. It is improbable to think that after de- clared that it was expedient for His followers that He should goaway from them, in order that His teachings might be understood by then, that He should leave the glories of lu-u\"en to reign on @ little planet like this earth. The whole doctrine has arepulsive, ma- terinl aspect. It the glories of heaven are equal to the unticipation we have formed of it from the revealed word, where would be the advantage of a thousand years' existence on this earth! Would 1t not still be an exile from the true home of the heart ! There is to be a coming of Chi but it is not wholly in the future, nor wholly outward, ‘Wherever right has triumphed, there has Christ come, Underneath the Messiah of the Jews, the Avater of the Hindu, the Golden Age of the Roman, the Messiah of the Indian and the coming of the King of the Second aaventist, lies the one great hope common to every race, and shared in by the same enthusiastic nd tures everywhere, We may smile at their extravagaices and pity their being led cap- tive by delusions, buttheir hopeis human and we all share in it. Like travelers bound for the same port, we lose sight of each other in the mists and darkness, but the same goal is ever before us--that goal, the hope that some day evil will have disappeared, sin be vanquished forever, and above earth’s babel sounds shall be heard, the echo of the angel song on Bethlehem's plain, proclaiming evil dead and Christ the heart's true king. We do not pelieve that the realization of 1ope lies in the progress of the intellect, orin new conquests over nature, or in im- provement of laws, nor in the glovies of art, umphs of science, All these may bo characteristics of the day for which all true hearts sigh, but that which will truly con- stitute the blessedness of man wiil be the gradual dying out of his baser passions, and the inner growth of Godlike love and self- sacrifice. Instead of waiting and wondering, we should earnetly labor for the coming of that Kingdom, for which we daily pray. e PROPOSITION. them to former which is the Indian of similar other it is felsm through A BUSINE We Have One to Talk to You Abo BUSINESS FOR_YOU AND BUSINE: FOR US, Experience has proved to you and us that the time to make hay is when the sun shines, The sun is shining for the buyer this season and the seller has to come to time and sell his goods in the season they are bought for.

Johnny Maher, who has not always sailed through the smoothest seas during hi ars, of residence in Council Bluffs, is in trouble again, and troudle that may prove to be or a serious nature. He has scarcely recovered from the wounds that were inflicted upon him by ex-Officer Noyes while resisting arrest last summer, and has been living very quictly without attracting public attention. Last evening he was brought before the public again by being arvested upon the charge of uttering forged paper. He veliemently denys all knowledge of the crime and claims to feel no uneasiness over the outcome of the case that is being made against him, On Saturday evening two young and some- what innocent looking young men went into the Mint saloon. Quite a crowd were in there and they were at once taken to be a couple of verdants from the countr Several cracks were made at them and finally a proposition was made for them to wrestle with each other several matches were made and some money was bet on the result. Finally the smaller one of the strangers was matched 1o wrestle a colored porter, Maher was back- ing the boy and wanted to bet $10 more on the result, but did not have the money. The oy had taken off part of his clothes and left them in un adjoiniug room. In one of the pockets was a %0 bill He told his comrade to go back and get the money and take care of it, and while he was doing so Maher appeared and took the money out of his hand and put it in his poci tell- ing him that the young man had told him to take it and bet on the result. The comrade imparted this information to the boy, and he stopped his preparations for the contest aud hunted up Maher. Maher told him he onl wanted to borrow 810 of it. and would tak the bill and give him a check for the other half. Maher had been introduced as Frank H. Reed. He produced a blank check and drew it for the amount. The young man ac- cepted it and went on with the contest and got beaten. Yesterday he tried to get his check cashed at several places, but no one knew a man with a name correspond- ing to that signed to the <check. It finally dawned upon him that he had been victimized, and he hunted upa police- man and told his story. The officer sent him to the station and he confided in Chief Cavey. When the chief heard it and questioned bot of the young men and obtmned a full desc: tion of the man who had given the check he readily recognized him as Johnuy Maher, and ordered Officer Graham to arrest him. He was found and taken to the station. The two young men were questioned by Chief Carey and they told hiw who they were and where they came from. The little fellow, who had been confidenced, said his name was Sam Smith and that he was a uephew of P.J. Mulholland, the ice man in this city. The other was Frank Reed. They had been working on a farm_in Shelby county and came to the city Friday night. They still had the worthless cbheck in their possession, failed in several efforts to o The check s drawn on National bank in vor of *‘cash, gned “Frank H, Reed.” They haunted the bank closely during the afte noon and at mail time met oae of the of who had stepped in a moment, They showed him the check and were promptiy assured that no such man as Frank H. Reed had an account ther WA fter Maher was brought to the station'the boys were taken inand at once indentified him asthe person who had given the check, but Maher declared that he did not know them and had never seen them before. A messenger was dispatched for Acting Police Judge Schurz, and Smith and Reed filed an information charging Maher with ut- tering forged paper. He was still at the sta- tiou awaiting developments, and before the Kkey was turned on him Dan' Carrige had filed a pond for him for £1,500, and he was released to await a hearing today. Immediately afterward a complaint was lodged against Smith and Reed, charging them with carrying concealed weapons, and they were placed under arrest. They were discharged on their own recognizance to ap- pear today. —— Res. Ogden house, Tel, 140, Scott House. Best §1.00 per day house in the city. Dr. Seybert. —_— ST.

Reply to Coots, Owana, Nov, 20.—To the Editor of Tue Bee: Inregard to Mr. Coots' denial we would like to make the following statement: Mr. Coots suys he never got a bid from us, that one was mailed to him the afternoon of the day of letting. Now, we can prove by our bookkeeper that he personally took the bid to Mr. Coots' office about 9 o'clock in the morning, when the bids were to be in at il o'clock in the forenoon. Mr. Coots asked me to divide our bid, which was a lump bid for both plumbing and steam heating, but when 1 refused to @ao so Mr. Coots told me in his own oftice that our bid was lower than any two combined bids. he should use our figure, and, if the contract was awarded to him, we should have the plumbing and steam heating. As for my calling the plumbing $3,000, or any other sum, it is false, Mr. Coots says after the bids wero o and I kunew _ just exactly they were, 1 divided 80 that T was just 0 below it can be proven by the re council that Mr. Free ne v could T know what his bid Mr. Coots knows and I can prove it by different parties, that first he offered us 2200 or #300 to withdreaw entirely. When that offer was refuscd, we were offered the plumbing and told that the architects raised objections to our doing the steam heating as they did not know that we were competent to do the work, After this was refused Mr. Coots came to our oftice and told us that the ouly way to settle the matter was for us to take the steam heating and let Mr. Free bave the plumbing, as there was such a pressure brought to bear on him by certain parties, that he could not hetp himsélf. As faras our agreeing to accept the steam heating without the plumbing is concerned M. Coots knows that itis not so. Tueovore HEUCK, R The Cotter Inquest.

He Died Dreaming of the Scenes of His Stormy fe with a Sister of Charity Bending Over Him, A dispateh in a morning paper the other day gave the reader an account of the death of a man in a southern town who, the correspondent stated, was none other than Quantrell, the Black Flag leader of the border. Several newspapers copied the dispatch and somebody was interviewed about it, who id the in- formation was a lie, Of courso it cor Louisville, spondent of the Chicago At this Jistance thre are some interesting facts about Quantrell, He burnt, pillaged, robbed, cursed the enemy to his face, was as relentiess as a wild beast and gave no quarter, But he was o character, such a one as only war produces, I'rance had such in its day of terror. There was La Tourde Auv who at the last Walked out from the prison walls, Dressed like a prince for a parade. But for the master whom he worshiped Joachim Murat would have fought as Quantrell did. The man who came on the field of Waterloo in time tochango the map of Europe and, as an _eminent English divine said when he heard of the result, *“*turned back the hand of time a half centur, was of the same type. Blucher was a butcher and atyrant and would have preferved, had he been left to himself, the torch and the knifo to guns and sithers. wus, says a rgne, W Quantrell left Missouri when he saw Price quitting the state. He might ha remained to repeat the story of Lawrence in every town in the west. In doing so he reasoned that would be but entailing suffering on the women and children of his own state--the wives, sisters and sweethearts of his own men. Strange as it may scem, Quantrell was the very man who was actuated by such things as the welfare of women. Bluck as he was with the smoke of villages he had laia waste; red-handed as he was with the blood of those whom he had overtaken; merciless as he was to the prayer of his vietim for amoment’s conference with God, Quantrell was a knight among women and struck down the man_ who ever questioned in his hearing the virtue of the sex. That was his only religion. He summoned some of his most trusted men one nightat a house in Waverly, Mo. To them he confided a part of his programme, In brief, it was A Missouri and go to Kentucky, using Kentucky as a buse of operation, invade Pennsylvania and Mavyland, and what- ever success followed those movements would suggest further depredations. In a word, the east came nearer knowing something of border war tactics than it ever realized. Think of a few daredevils streaking Bunker Hill monument with the blood of such men as Wendell Phillips; of blowing up Faneuil hall and shooting down the trim and natty business men of the Hub as they eniered their of- fices! Think of a black Aag floating from Madizon Square, and a dozen freeboot- ers in Wall street, men who knew how to shoot to kill and who knew how to s‘;ymnl consternation and get outof it allve Think of another handful of the same sort looting the quiet Quaker city and while it was “fired in muny places, the water supply cut off, and panic spread- ing with the flumes, the terror-stricken jopulace learning that Independence hall had been destroyed. Enough invaders would be left to be operating in Washington at the same time, One shot in Ford's theater star- tled the world. What would a handful of men led by Quantrell, with James Little as first lieutenant, Chatam Ren- ick as second, Frank James, Jim Younger, John Baker, Bud Pence and Andy McGuire—men accustomed to the torch, the knife, the rope, and ponies— what would have been the result of a dash of such men into the capital, at the very moment when its inhabitants were reading of Bunker Hill red with the blood of Phillips; Fanuel Hall in ruins; Wall s p Ider with fear than it was over stocks—if such a thing w possible; Philadelphia in flames; Inde- pendence Hall in ashes! Suppose every man sworn todeath and pine in this crusade had fallen; sup- pose not one had escaped: that Quantrell had shared a more terrible fato than John Wilkes Booth. What would all that have availed when opposition was put down; blood in Boston; Tobbery and riot in New York; arson and terror in Philadelphia; assassination in Wash- ington! All on the sume day and al- most at the same hour, Call it by any willy it Wi w! oceurring, That is, it was a part of a dream, of a program. of something to muke amends for what those men fan- cied they and their people had suffered. Forty-one men. rank und file, werein this compact. They started. They got as faras Kentucky—up in the mountains. They were disguised as_ federal troops. Quantrell had a new and splendid federal uniform. His men carried a silk and satin Amecrican flag. They sat down at the hearthstones of some of the good union men of Kentueky, drank their whisky, and made love ta the girls in the name of the union. Sometimes they were dis- covered and there was a fight and flight and then they suddenly appeared else where. Quantrellshowing his authority Sduly signed and stamped™ by Edwin M. Stanton. Andtheauthorities treated him as adistinguished guest, loaded him with vresents and money, and feasted him and his men, and an hour after these border guerrillas were out in the woods near by dividing the presents and the money and laughing at their success. The next day Imost before it was next Qay—some one’s body was dungling from a tree; somebody's house waus in ashes; somebody’s fine horses were on the rod As like as not some of these somebodies had entertained Quantrell and his men the night before, This sort of thing. continued in Ken- tucky until it could continue no longe Of course, it had to come toan end. It came to light later on how this assassin and burner of the border had (5o to put it) played it vpon Kentucky and the Federals began to give chase.

Many | messages were sent to absent friends and much good advice was given touching the surrender of the remnant of the band.
