OPTION RUNNING THREE MONTHS TAKEN OneShrewd Speculator Has Secured Control of Something Several Seem to Want ~Talk with the Owner Con- cerning the Matter. In connection with the recent rumors about an impending real estate boom In the north- western part of the city it can be positively stated that negotlations are now pending with reference to the sale of 120 acres of the Myn- ster property, situated just north of the city in the vicinity of Mynster springs. Not many days ago a gentleman called upon W. A. Mynster, the owner, and secured an option at the price of $46,000. Shortly after another party called on Mynster and made him a bet- ter offer than that, but was met with the re- ply that it was tied up by the option until January 1, so that further negotiations were broken off. Mr. Mynster was seen by a Bee reporter, and in reply to questions, said: “Although the second man's talk was cut oft somewhat short by my telling him that the property was now out of reach, I am pretty well satisfled that I could have gotten perhaps $20 per acre in advance of the price offered me by the first prospective buyer. Who are the men that are after it? Well there ars some things that a man is not supposed to tell, and that is one of them. I can say this much, however, that I am as sure of selling that 120 aere strip before Jan- vary 1, as I am that I am sitting here this minute.” Although Mr. Mynster would not tell who was trying to buy his land, some one else would. " It Is learned from authority that is near enough to the inside to be unquestion- able that the option was secured by the Union Land & Improvement company, and that the sale will be effected by January 1, 1805, and perhaps a long time before. It is understood that it is being purchased for the stock yards company that was recently organized with'a capital stock of $2,600,000. A rumor has also been gomng the rounds that the Driving park has been sold to the same company. Local members state that J. J. Brown of Omaha is the only stock- holder in the company who knows whether the sale has been made or not, but they profess to doubt the truth of the report, from the fact that the Omaha stockholdedrs are all opposed to selling the park for less than $2,000 an acre, and they do not believe that any such offer has been made. Whether it is sold or not, however, there is little doubt that in the near future this tract, like so many others of equal size In the north- western part of the city, will be the prop- erty of the Union Land and Improvement company. “You may depend upon of the local stockholders, “the Omaha fel- lows know what they are doing. Guy C Barton Is right on the inside. of all the pro- jected Improvements in the northwest end and If he hangs out for $2,000, as he ua. doubtedly does, it Is because he has positive assurance that in the near future the prop- erty will command that sort of a figure.”” it,” remarked one Health, strength and contentment are pro- moted by using Dr. Price's Baking Powder. RECEPTION FOR COMMANDER LAWLER Closing Festivities of the Rounion ot the Army of the Tennessee. The reunton of the Soclety of the Army of the Tennessee closed yesterday, many of the visitors leaving o the morning trains and many more on the afternoon. This morning will find probably every one of the 160 guests gone home, and the badges that stamped a man as connected In some way with the army or the committees on entertainment will be laid away as souvenirs of a meinur- able reunion. Without exception the visitors were enthuslastic in thelr praises of the way in which they were treated while here. Al- though they are accustomed to the fat of the land, they did not hesitate to say that they had never been treated more foyally. It must be confessed that the “syrposium,” which was a prominent feature of the third floor of the Grand, or the “symbqozelum,” as it was facetiously termed by an irreverent elevator boy, was one of the most highly ap- preciatel things about thé reunion. Thete the men met for an hour's chat, and the stories that were told within those four walls would make a book that would probably double discount any book ever written from point of interest. Tho last thing on the program was the re- ception to General T. G. Lawler of Kockford, Iil,, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. This took place in the Grand Army hall yesterday afternoon, that time having to be taken instead of the even- Ing, as was at first intended, so as not to interfere with Lawler's plans. About 4 o'clock the members of Abe Lincoln post gathered at the Grand hotel and escorted Mr. Lawler and all of the members of the Army of the Tennessee who were still in the city, to the hall, where they were met by a large assembly, among whom were a number of members of the Woman's Rellef corps. Col- onel L. C. Huff made a few remarks, after which Commander Lawler was introduced. His words were full of enthusiasm fop the order of which he Is the head. Miss Matle Baker delivered a_declamation, after \hich all the guests sat down to a repast that was furnished by the ladies of the Relief corps. This having been disposed of, ex-Department Commander J. J. Steadman of this city acted a3 toastmaster, and called upon General Wolcott, Mrs. Ayres, Hon. Spencer Smith, Judge Walter I. Smith and Charles M. Harl for addrgsses. Wall McFadden’s drum ccrps furnished some martial music, to the delight of the old soldiers, and the reception was brought to an end at 6 o'clock, after which Commander Lawler left immediately for the train, accompanied by a number of the other officers.

Yesterday's session of the North Nebraska conference was opened by devotional exer- olses, led by Rev. Leedam of Norfolk. Rev. Snider of Chapman was appointed statisti- cal secretary in place of Brother Snavely of North Bend, Rev. Gray was appointed assistant statistical secretary. The statistical secretary called the roll of charges not having given in their report. The treasurer was not ready to report, so the matter went over for the time being. On motion of Rev. Marquette a committee of five was appointed to set forth the needs of the flelds of this conference. Revs. Mar- quette, Robinson, Wooley, Gearhart and Leedam were appointed. On motion of the secretary, Revs. Pills- bury, Leedam and Webster were appointed as a committee to consider a communication from Nebraska Central college. Two members of the committee on tracts having failed to appear, Rev. Myers and Rev. Fleharty were appointed in their places. The question of admitting ministers who are now on trial was then taken up and upon reports of examining committees and presiding elders a large number were ad- mitted, while others were continued on trial. This work occupied most of the morning's session. A communication from the Utah Mics onary society was read and laid over for future action. The matter refers to the case of Rev. La Varke. The bishop £aid he was aware that con- ferences were not careful enough in passing upon the fitness of applicants for the work of the ministry, He was opposed to ad- mitting them upon trial; he would hold them out until they had proved their fitness for the work of the Methodist ministry. In this matter the presiding elders were the eyes of the people, and he would urge upon them more Christian care. This met with hearty amens from the members of conference, REV. MR. WILSON'S CASE. The report in the case of Rev. Wilson creafed a great deal of discussion. Rev. Wilson had as one point to serve the village of Dannebrog. His presiding elder ‘wanted him continued on trial for another year, but ministers and laymen objected. Rev. Wilson went to Dannebrog and held a meeting in a beér garden and turned it into a place of the God. He found but three Methodists there and in one short year had seventy con- versions. His work wds good; he was shown to be plous and courageous, and endowed with picty to a marked degree. In point of fact Rey. Wilson was shown to be an exemplary young man, and there was emphatic opposi- ton to referring his case to the committee on conference relations. The presiding elder sald he thought Rey. Wilson deficient In judgment, and this caused one aged brother to spring to his feet and declare that he denfed the right of a presiding elder to question his judgment. | This brought out scme more “amens,” this time from the lay- men. The motion to refer the case was laid upon the table with a _thud and the minister was continued on trial. Dr. Louis Curts, representing the publish- ing interests of the church, was introduced to the conference. He assumed that Meth- odists knew the advantages of having good Methodist literature. That's why he took it for granted that Methodlsts should and do patronize Methodist publications. Dr. Curts sald his father was a shoemaker, conse- quently father always made his boots. In this way the money was kept in the family. So the Methodist book concern is a Meth- odist family affair. He said a few words about the Christian Advocate published in Omaha, and warned the peopla against be- coming insular. ~ His chief complaint was that the Methodist book concern could not get its works hstur(- the people who took only the independent papers. This led Rey. Shank to arise and tender Dr. Curts a whole column for advertising the Methodist Book concern's publications. “Is this a new offer?” asked Dr. Curts. 'No sir,” sald Rev. Shank, “it has al- ways been open. We did not know it,” said Dr. Curts. “What advertising e have has been paid for.” “Well, you offered to pay for it, and of course we took the money." The brethren and sisters laughed, and Dr. Curts went on. He said some ministers were slow In paying for supplies, and that the chief offonders were those gelting the largest salaries, The remarks of Dr Curts were full of Interest, and well spiczd with humor, and he was given close attention. Chairmen of the various committees an- nounced the time of meeting The noon hour having arrived the doxology was sung, and after the benediction hud done with you been pronounced by Bishop Andrews the peo- ple gathéred in front of the church (o luve a group photograph taken. WOMEN'S HOME MISSIONS. Right after dinner yesterday there were N Society women often feel the %fl'cct of too much gayety— balls, theatres, and tcas in rapid siecession find them worn out, or “run-down’ by the end of the sea- son. They suffer from nervousness, sleeplessuess and d irregularitics. The smile and good spirits take flight. It is time to accept the help offered in Doctor Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription. It's a medicine which overed and uged b{ a Ymmim‘nt physician for many years in all cases of ‘female complaint’’ and the nervous dis- orders which arise from {t.* The '‘Pre. scription” is a_powerful uterine tonic and nervine, especially adapted to woman's delicate wants for it regulates and prometes all the natural functions, builds up, invig- orates and cures.

Dr. Lasby, Paul's church of Lincoln, and candidate for the position of chancellor of the Nebraska Wesleyan university, when Chancellor Creighton resigned, addressed the Women's Home Missionary ~society. The auditorium of the church doctor’s address was Mstened {0 with great Interest, and several times he was inter- rupted by bursts of applause. He spoke of the advance of woman as a factor in churoh work, and said that the sisters had within them the power to convert the world to Ohrist I they would but set to work in the right way. He believed the soclety he ad- dressed was working in the right direction and urged them on. During the short period s filled and the the society had been at work In this country it had raised 0,000 for home missions, It had the saloons which greeted the Immigrant at Battery Park, and had rescued thousands of Ignorant girls from the clutches of those who sought their ruin. Dr. Lasby devoted a largo portion of his remarks to describing points where the soclety would find a_ great work to do. He spoke of the “poor whites of the south, Who were hungering and thirst- Ing for the light of Christianity. They were steeped In ignorance and devold of all idea of homoe ties and home comforts. Yet these “poor whites” to the number of over 10,000 fought for the old flag during the dark days of the rebellion. The people of the north owed them a debt of gratitude that could never be pald. He referred to the work to be done in the crowded tenements of the cities, in New Mexico and Arizona, Utah and among the Indians, The speaker gave some interesting statistics of church work and xtension. In the states that lle west of Wisconsin there {s a Methodist church to every 1,300 square miles, and in the opinion of the doctor this {s not enough churches, The work of the deaconess’ homes and of gized and the women urged on to more active work in the support of these institutions.
