N Sharp Concludes Not to Come to Council s, The Ilirst Congregationul church of Counvcil Binffs receatly extended a unani- mous and very enthasiastic call to Rev. Mr. Sharp of FFoxbor, Mass., who Lad supphed the puipit for several Sundays most acee p: ably. After his return east, and having, it seems, duly considered the call, he sent his formal acceptance, and arrangements were made for his reception hero. The parsonage was subjected to numerous improvements, the church members wero euthusiastical gotting into line for earnest work, word was receivel that thenaw paster was on his wialy, when suddenly all the plans were over- turied by the announcement that Mr. Sharp had reconsidered his acceptance and that ho would not come. jtseems that ho had even bought his ticket for Council Bluffs when sudden sickness in his family necessitated a delay. One of bis children had to undergo n dungerous surgical opera- tion in Boston tud there seewing Lo prospect of his being able to leave for some lime at least, he finally doemed it best to reconsider Ihe acceptanco rather thun keep the church waiting in such uncertainty, The announcement that Mr. Sharp will not be the pastor cuuses great disappoint- ment, and the church will now set itseil to the task of securing some one else, A busi- uess meeting is called for lomorrow evening, and formal action will probably then be tuken cancerning the matter, —_—— Ben Hur, December 1, 2, 3. cqguestrian Ludics’ and to CHURCH, or 10 Diuys Only. 2,500 cases of canned goods to be sold rogardloss of cost for ten days only at 0.

The Won tul Success of the Latest Work £ Ed Wright, the Couneil Biuffs Author, irst edition all gone and a second edition gomg rapidly. Such is the pleasing result of the publication of “The Lightning’s Flash,” the latest work of I3 | Weight, the Council Blufls novelist. The remarkable suc- cess of Mr. Wright's lnst book is due to several eauses. . One, although by no menns the chiel. is the peculiatly happ manner in which it is written. The descriptive passages are so vivid as to thrill, and yet there is no yielding to the modern temptation of such over-realiam as to become unreal The lite stylo of the book is excel- lent, but there are many other bool cqually woil weitten, all clamoring for public favor. hat this one should so easily attract attention und excite praise, while so many others catch the dust, eannot ba accounted for by mere excollence of litorary style, The author hus fortunately launched his venture on a popular stream of thought. Distinctively oviginal in plot and manner of treatment it is ditficult to class the hook, and yet it reminds one of such productions as *( ‘s Col- umn’ and “Looking Backward.” One of the chief causes of its phenomenal success, is the snme that gave success to them. It plays upon thoughts and doubts, fears and emotions, wnich are 50 common tothe times thatthe reader’s heart cannot but respond to the artistic touch of the young author The name, *The Lightnings Flash,” may impress some with the idea that it is & merely sensationalenovel. Such 1s far from the fact. It is thrillingiy sensational, but not becduse of blood and tinsel, but rather becauso the situs tion 1g, the scienttfic fantasi £0 novel, theological surmises so charm- ing. It'takesa pecoliar style of genius to weave into charming fiction scientitic and religious theories, to suggest solu- tions of greatsocial problems,to popular- ize though{s which have puzzled sages. Mr. Wright's pen has been touched by this genius, and so in this novel form he has won the public attention. This is, in facy, the chief cause of the success of the book. The interost is so quickly aroused and o continuously maintained that the reader finds no page where he can lay the book down, and when the “finis” reached, instead of being satistiod with finding “now it came out,” he finds impressed upon his thought many startlingly sug- gestive theories which he cavnot but think of over and over with renewed pleasure. By this thrilling bit of fiction one is inspired to thoughts of the great provlems which difect man here and hereafter, and the attention is drawn to the great social drifts and currents of the time. However one may eritisize the theories advanced, or however much one may disagree with the secientific and theological surmises of the author. the admission must be made that the book 15 thrillingly suggestive, and along a line of thought which is today engrossing the attention of all classes. Mr. Wright will no longer have diffi culty in sceuring readers, for the popu larity being won by *The Lightuing Flush?” will cause the public to eagerly grasp for anything new bearing his name. g Social R8ip.

The queen invites her Roman lover to supper and bets him that she wili eat at one meal a sum equal to $43,616.50, Antouy accepts the invitation, but upon coming to the table and observ- ing nothing extraordinary upon it, be to rally the queen upon the frugali her repast. She makes no repl detaches from her ears Lwo p great value, one of which she into a liquor prepared for the purpose, by which it is speedily dissolved, and lows it in tho presence of Munatius Plaucus, the chosen arbiter of the wager. As she is about to do the snme with the other pearl Plaucus snatches it away from her, and declares she has nl reudy won. Tho celebrated wager of Asclepindes, {he physician, was not less extravagunt. He wagered ngainst a great fortune that he never would be sick in his life. Besides the money he had bet his reputation of being the most famous vhysician of his time was at stake. Ho won hus wager, for, in fact, it is re- corded that he rever suffered a single hour from illness while he lived, having died from a fall he received i extreme old age. A certain French count made a wager with a auke for 10,000 crowns that he would go twice and back again from the Porte St. Denis to Chantilly in acertain time. He had his whole body tightly band- aged round and aleaden bullet in his mouth to refresh him by keeping up a supply of moisture IRelays of horses were disposed from spice to space and every embarrass- ment prevented that might in the least returd hi progress. The swiftest horses only were chosen. A clock was attached to the Porte St. Denis to mark and Cur s Post, one of th is that told of Bgypt’s with throws .the time. He set out with the speed of an arrow and in a moment was out of sight, Never did man cleave the air with such rapidity. On arriving at ezch relay, without alighting, he sprang from one horse onto the other and continued his Night. Hle arvived at the Porte St. Denis, having performed his course cighteen minutes before the appointed time. H eaid he was still able to go to Versail to bring the king tidings of his suce All bathed in perspiration he w putin a warm bed and afterwards died from the effect of his effort. This nobleman, remarks the narrator of the exploit, deserves no praise for having run such a race. All that can be said of him is that he would have made the best postboy in the world. * One of the wildest wagers ever made was in Parvis in 1726 and caused the grrentost excitoment, eventually getting into thoe courts. That year it was so rainy that it seemed the flood gates of heaven were really opened. All the rvivers overtlowed their banks and commerce was terribly affected Some superstitious persons predicted a socond delugo and many were greatly alarmed. A Parvisian banker named Bulliot, having remarked that it had rained ¢ cessivoly on St. Gorvais day, June 19, persunded himself that it would rain for forty days continuously thereafter, bas- ing his opinion upon the truth of the old proverb that ¥if it rained on St Gervais duy it will rain for forty duys after,” infatuated by his faith in this saying, and being on that day in the Cufe de la Regence, near the Paluis Royal, ho entercd into conversation with some persons on the subjecy of tho incessnat inundations which® were destroying the hopes of a good harvest. Bulliot observed that there move cause for alarm if the tinued for forty days longer, und that he was ready to wager that this misfortuno was inevitable, His evil prognosis was recoived with bad grace by those press ent, and he was usked upon what author- ity he based his prediction. Lam sure of it,” he confidently re plied. *Let any one bet against m Tam ready to put down my stake.” Ho then threw some louis on the table to excite the curious and defly the incredu- lous, His wild talk was not considered atall by muuy present, who refused to enter the lists against him; but others, more interested, and fluttered by the hope of winning, put down stakes for the same amount that he did. The money was deposited in the hands of the cofieehouse keeper und the wager registered thus: If it rvain, little or much, during forty days from St, Ger- vais day, Bulliot has won; if it discon- tinue raining even for one single day during the forly duys, Bulliot hus lost. This wager irritated the cupidity of the whole eife, who weore propriste the louis in which Bulliot so aboundegl, so that, after having staked agaiost all who would bet against him and after having emptied every purse he demandea with @ sort of insult if there were any others ready to oppose him Believing himself sure of vietory he proposed to those who had 0o woucy Lo would be rains con- { PHYSICIANS FIRST THEN SPECIALISTS Modern, Scientific Methods Cure Applizd to all Chronie Dissa Drs, Cope- & Shepard of es by land Drs.

He even consented that those who had neither money nor jewels should de- posit their Holland shirts, inst which he also consigned their value in money. The contagion of this folly having spread abroad, the next day brought re- wforcoments who put down their stakes against Bulliol.
