BOSTON STORL, IPHERINGHAM, WHITELAW & CO., Council Bluffs, fa. ———— Sunday at Manawa, The peoplo who visited Manswa yesterday ' treated to a novel aml beautiful spec- tacle, a storm on the lake. It was not a hur- ricane, but it was sufficient to send the bil. lows rolling on tho beach with un envrgy that transformed tho luke into & it of wild ocean surf, It was decidedly too wild for tho Dbather and they all left 1bo water before the storm fairly broke. The wuter was covered with plewsure craft, and there was & good deal of anxiety felt for some of the light row-bonts that ovcusionally went out of sight botween e billows, ‘Thera were 1o accidonts, how ever, but all had to scamper for shelter in tho nearest direction.

Crofts Preaches His Farewell Sermon, IMPRESSIVE SERVICES AT THE CHURCH Many People Unable to Enter the Building 8o Great Was the Crowd—All De- nominations Came to Do Him Hone Thero was a rush and a crush at the First Congregational church yesterday moraing, to hear the fareweil sermon of Rev. w. Crofts, “the poet preacher,” whose seven yoars pastorats is now ended by his own rosignation. Befora the usual time bad ar- rived for commencing service, every pew was filled, per:piring ushers were aragging in extra chairs which anxious sitters eagerly oceupied, nisles were filled, the gallery was packed, standiug room in the vestibule was atu demand, the pulpit steps were used for seats, and evea the genius who pumps the organ found his pinions crowded oy those who had crept into the orgaa loft. And still the crowd kept climbing tha church steps, orly 1o tind that even the standing room was exhausted. Many turned back toward home, being unable to got insiie tue chuveh, Not only was tho sizeof the crowd an indi- cation of how ereat a hold this byloved pastor has on the hearts of this community, vut @ still more impressive tribute to his worth was manifost in the make-up of this congra- gation, Hore were Catholics and Protestants, Metnodists, Baptists, in fact representatives of every denomination and of no denomina- tion. Saints and sinners, rich and poor, young and old, alike seemed to shave in tho regret that Council Bluffs s to lose ono of those fow preachers who are too big for any one chureh to ow The Presbyterian church courteousiy gavo up its morning service that its conzrozation might hear the farewell words of Mr. Crofts. 1ts pastor, Dr. Phelps, occupied a place on the platform and assisted in the services, as dia also Rev. Mr. Rtice, the first pastor of tho Congrogational chuveh. Tho musical ser: vico was roudered by n quartat consisting of Messrs, Ogdon and Ailen, Miss Oliverand Miss Portarfield, with Mrs. Jones atthe organ, “The pulpit and platform were beautifully decorated with plants and_flowers and up- propriately conspicious in Iront uppeared the floral word “Mizpah.” Finally, Brethren, Farewell. “Finally, brethren, farewoll.” Such was the text from which Mr. Crofcs preached a sermon full of thoughtfuliiess and tender- ness. He snid thay altkough nearly twonty centuries had rollod by with their multi- tudinous events and dropped into the silent sea, those words sull live, Criticisms may come and go, attacks may rise ana fall as regularly as the tiaes, but tho great Gibraltar ~ of divine truth stands uomoved 1 tho awful grandeur of its power nud sublimity of its silenco. *Finally, brethren, fare- well,” spoken with a trembling Voice, writ- ten 'with a trembling hand. read witha trembling heart by the Christians ut Cor- inth, by the covenanters in their caves, by Huguenots in their oxile, by the pilgrins as they sovght father's puro shrine beyond the sea, by Christians in all ages, anda now by us A% We como to speak these words that mark the limit of a long period of religious thought and effort. The word farewell was one of large mean- ng—uot merely a formal salutation. Neither was it sigzificant ot the end of joy, the grave of hope. 1t was not an urn to hold the ashes of regret, moistered by the tears of despair, There was a_pathos of parting in the word, but it was mado sweet as tho soug of u nightingale with the note of exultation. The word meant wel-fare, fare-well, a salu- tation filled with the very essence of benevo- lence, good will, charity and love unfeigned. As that word stands where the paths sep- arate pastor and psople, let it stand, not for a mere regret at parting, butlet it point not only backward, but forward. M. Crofts in thus using the word ‘“fare- well”? as a benediction, suggestod some lines along which this coveted prosperity would be found. Wisdom was one of the neccssaries for farmng well. *“The fear of the Lord is the beginmng of wisdom.’ Again, in order to fare well there must be a firm acceptance of Carist as prophet, priest and king, Then, too, there must be the Holy Spint. Lastly, in_the language of Paul, “I commond you to God and the word of iis grace that is‘able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all them that are sanctified.” The speaker having enlarged upon these suegestive thoughts then dwelt upon tho use of the word ‘“farewell” in the sense of a parting salutation. Casual ac- qumintances bad no use for the word, nor thoso who minglo on a sordid busiuess plane, orin the lightand vain frivolities of lifo It could only bo used appropriately afte years of association, where hearts had be come knit together, whero voices had be- come music and faces sunshine. So a pastor had & right touse this word as ho leaves lus flock, urto whom he has broken many times the bread of life, who has been with them in their sorrows, and vot only stood at tho open grave as tho' awbassador of Him, *who is the resurrection and the life,” but at tho marriage altar, where human bliss blossoms 1nto celestial v, aud at the baptismal font, whoco the divine graco is seeu to sparkle on the brow of infancy. Scores of such sconos corfor upon him the rigut Lo say farewell, Itis Closing Words, In closing Mr. Crofts said: ‘“And so I speak the word to you today, not ouiv to the members of this church, but of all churcnes 10 this community; to all of God’s children, my own dear brotters and sisters in Christ, of every nams and denomination, 1 speak the word to tasi city which I have learned to love, and which has given me so largea pluce iu fis confidence and affection, Ou the retina of my mind is eteraally stamped the pieture of these bewutiful bills, where nature has exhausted her skill o the formation of all thut 1s graceful and enchantivg: of your beautiful homes made doubly attractive by social wmenity; abovo all, the pictures of your smiling faces made radiant with the puro light that shines from within, Wh over I zo 1 shall curry with me many a bunch of forget-me-nots, gatherea as I now staud upon the summit of & mountain up which 1 have been struggling for these yeavs, “On the 12th of this month 1 made the nascent of Pike's Peak.

Ogawa at Manawa, AMUSEMENTS, It The Harrison & Bell comedians gave their first performauces of “Little Tippett yester- day &t the Farnam Street thouter, and a critical estunate must award tho new play the triumph of an exceedingly promising in- auguration. Indeed, it is quite within bounds to say that it scored a great hit and thatit has overy nceded quality for a pronounced and con- tinued success. There were crudities, as was to be expected in initizl performancoes, but the performances domonsirated that the drama is exceptionaliy strong in the comedy element, which 1s not only worked up natu- rally into effective climuxes. but 1s sustained in a crescendo action until the last fall of the curtain. The play is presented by an excel- lent company, every role being interproted by u capabie artist and no part veing slighted. “Little Tippett” is an adaptation by Harry and Edward Paulton (themselves the authors of seyeral noted theatricul successes) from the French of Alexauder Bisson, one of the most successful of living writers of farce and comedy. Erench plays arc apt to be risque, but the Gallic dramatists ure wonderfully clever in the contriving of d/amatic situa- tions. In this case he adapters have re moved everything objectionably suggestivo and produced a play that will pass th gauntlet of the most exacting Avglican tost. Tne intricato French cowplication of situa- tion Is there, but the story is absolutely clean, with not a line to offénd American tast “Pue characters of the play are Tippett and Newton, partners in business: Mrs. Tippott and Mrs, Newton; Everard Dunker, the rich unclo and doting zuardian of Mrs. Tippett; Georee Gibbs, the butler of the Tippetts, and his wife Geraniuwm, who is the nurse; Little Tippett and Little Givbs, two infants. Iippott and Nowton have both beon di- ced from an adventuress known as Browu. Tippett has been os- anged from his second wife, and at the opening of the play has just returned from o s stay in Burope and becomo raconciled with her in s meeting at his ofice, During his absence & son nas been born, but ho is left in ignorance of thut fact. his wifo wishing 10 spring the surprise on him when ho reachies homo. About this time Newton ro- ceives a lotter from Georgina Brown's law- vers stating that he is the father of ason born after their divorco, and it is intimated that the infant1s 0a the way to him and his delivery can ouly be stopped by the payment of an exorbitant bribs. Newton gets out of the dilemma by altering the letter and ad- dressing it to Tippett. When, therefore, a nurse appears at the ofice with'a baby and tho exclamation, **Here he is,” Tippett and Newton assume that the youngster 1s the son of Georgina. As a matter of fact, it is the son of Tippett by his second wifo, O the other hand, Mrs. Tippott number two, Uncle Dunker aud the Gibbses know nothing of the suppositious child of Georgina Brown, but the audience is the master of the true situation on voth sides. On this foundation is built an intricate play of cross purposes thal cannot be ade- quately explained in a faw words, but it comes 60 thick and fast there is scarcely time between laughs o take breath. To still further complicate matters the Gibbs infant gets mixed up 1o tha confusion and is kidnaped by Newton instead of the Tippett buby,which he supposes is Gaorgina Browa's offspring. OF course everything comes out all right in tho linul sceue, when the fact 15 dis- closea thut Georgina Brown bud no Luby aua that the letter trom her lawyers was merely » blackmailing scheme, Last night's performance went with fine spirit, and the enthusiastic audience, not content with an almost continuous laugh and innumerable bursts of applause, iosisted on several curtain calls. The rolé of Tippett was interpreted by Mr. Charles Bowser, who trested it in a farcical vein, which was cutirely permlssible and thorougly accept- avble. " Mr. Edward Bail, hundsomo enough 10 be theidol of tho matinee girl, bas a fine slage presonce, Is a fluished actor and made an adwarable foil for Tippett fu his interpretation of Newton, Miss Mabel Bert 1s o regal baauty sud as Mrs. Tippett was an_ideal wife, all tenderness and dovo- tion, M.

The acreage of wheat, oats and ryeis double that of last year, and about one-third moro of barley. The grain is nearly all safely cutand in the stack aud shock. The vield will oxceed that of last year, as the heads of the grain are larger and the berry vetter. John Hattield, one of the largest farmers here, picked sevoral heads of wheat at ran- dom from his field near this city and found over sixty plump grains on each head. All farmers report the prospective yield as greut as last year. Corn in this county was made by the four rains which have fallen” in the past two weeks. Over four inches of rain has fallen in Red Willow county within the pust ten days, Corn is well advanced, nearly all of it be- ing in tho tassel and on some the ears are commencing to appear. A. C.
