Famnvny, Neb,, Oc {Speci gram to Tie Bre.|—The caso involving tho authority of the city’s mayor in prosecutin: dissolute characters is exciting much interest. The mayor had appointed several special po licemen, and under the guidance of the city marshal they entered a supposed disovderly house and arrested the female fnmates. They were placed in jail and afterwards released on a writ of habeas corpus and then rearvested on the autnority of the mavor. The women brought suit against the city for false imprisonment, o teial has been in progress all day, and there has been a host of witnesses, many of whom gave the p part of their testi mony in the words, “Irefuse to answer.’ Publio sympathy is entirely with the mayor in his attempt to ‘rid the city of a certain ciass of peovle who ave not an ornament to society or a useful tactor.

The people of this little city have taken complete possession of the cars containing the exhibit, and during the stop of Jittlo more than an hour fully 1,000 people have filed through the train. It would be almost 1mpossible to give too high a coloring to tho statement of their surprise and enthusiasm or to overestimate the bene- 1its probably resulting to Nebraska from the trin through this portion of Indiana. The rain hus been well advertised in advance and the people over the entire route hav ently teard of Nebraska's claums ness.

The greatest thing about Mr. Wesley was that he wkuew what to got rid of He admired greatly his " Inglsh friends now in the conference, but he had a_word of advice for them: “Gonome; get rid of this doctrine that puts u bomb at the bottom of the Pentateuch and Moses that will blow you up if you don’t get rid of 1.
