N, Armstrong Released from His Enga_ement with the Seoond Churoh, RESULT OF A ROW IN THZ CONGREGATION Presbstery Hears the Details of the Trouble and Decides the Matter Satlstactorily to Hoth Sides—Armstrong Goes a8 & Misstonary to Utah, There was a meeting of the presbytery yesterday afternocn at the Second Pre sby- terlan church for the purpese of adjusting the difficulties between the pastor, Rev. C. N. Armstrong, and his flock. As already stated in these columns, the relations have somewhat strained for several months Mr. Armstrong has been here only a but in that time the bonds of affec- have grown particulariy firm. In fact, the congregation dwindled until a mere handful, and sometimes noct even that, | would be present at the Sunday services. The church, weakened numerically and finan- clally, failed to pay the pastor's salary, and finally a petition was circulated among the church members asking the presbytery to assemble and dissolve the pastoral relations. This petition met with a hot fight from the pastor, who, at the close of a Sunday morn- ing service about four weeks ago, took ocea- slon to read the riot act in vigorous terms to his unfaithful co-laborers. Before the meeting was over, however, the pastor was prevailed upcn to unite with the petitioners in their request for an investigation, This Investigation was made yesterday, The meeting was presided over by Rev. A. H. Fraser of Atlantic, and Rev. J. H. Carpenter of Shelby acted as clerk. Besides these were present Rev. W. H. Snyder of Missouri Valley, Rev. Joshua Riale of Logan, Rev. B. C. Swank of Marne, Rev. B. M, Landis of Avoca, Rev. Stephen Phelps of the First church of this city, and Rev, C. N. Armstrong of the Seccnd church. J. H. Westcott and D. H. Huston represented the clders of the First and Second churches of Council Bluffs, respectively, Both had changed their pugnacious attitudes of a fow weeks ago, and the meeting much more peaceful than was expected. There was a thorough examination made of the church trouble, and at the ccnclusion it was de- cided by a unanimous vote that the pastoral relations should be dissolved. There was quite a discussion with refer- ence to the pay, Mr. Armstrong Insisting on belng pald up to the 1st of February, and the church representatives wanting him cut Oft with the 1st of January. After a warm debate, It was decided that as the church had won in one part of the fight, the pastor should be allowed to win in the other. Mr. Armstrong’s services will close with Feb- ruary 1, and the church will pay him all the back salary due him up to that time. He Wil go next week to Utah, sent as a mis- sionary by the American Presbyterian Board of Home Missions, and will have charge of the churches at Gunnison and Salina, with his residence at the latter place, past. year, tion not JUSTICE VIEN (VAS TOO SUDDEN. Charles K Suspected of Burglary, Turned Looso and Skips Out. Charles Kerns Is once more sniffing the boreal breezes of freedom in some unknown quarter, and the police have just succeeded In locating a witness who might have sent him across the state. Kerns was arrested several days ago on a charge of vagrancy, that charge being pre- ferred against him by the officers to hold him until they. could investigate a more serlous accusation. Justice Vien, who happened to be holding police court the next morning, discharged him, and gave the police a lec- ture on the subject of arresting people on general principles. Officer Murphy was standing outside the jail waiting for Kerns after court, and as soon as he appeared ar- rested him again, placing the charge of vagrancy against him. Enough evidence had been collected to make it appear that Kerns was connected Wwith the burglary of N. P. Conant’s jewelry store on Christmas day and the theft of about $1,500 worth of jewelry. There was one witness, John Wells by name, whom the officers were not able to locate until yester- day. In the morning Kerns was brought be- fore Justice Vien for an ex- amination, and as Wells was not on hand the court discharged him. A little later Wells turncd up, but Kerns, It Is sald, lost no time in making tracks for Nebraska soll. The story the police tell is that on Christ- mas night shortly after the robbery took place Kerns, with two men named Kelly and Crawford, called at Wells' house and asked permission to “plant” a lot of jewelry and valuables there. He saw the stuft and was able to give a good description of it, 80 that the police are convinced that these three men are the ones who robbed Conant’s place. Wells refused to let them leave it there, for some reason or other, and they went away. Kelly and Crawford have since been convicted of highway robbery in Omaha, and Kerns' reputation is that of a professional crook, haVing been repeatedly mixed up in crimes of different sorts. The authorities tock Wells before the grand jury yesterday and had him tell his story, but whether or not an indictment Is returned, there is not much probability of Kerns' com- ing back to have a_ warrant served on him. When asked for his side of the story, Jus- tice Vien said: “The police hadn’t located their man Wells, and could not tell,me when they would. There being no evidence against the fellow, I discharged him, just as any court would have done,” Dr. Price’s is the foremost baking powder in all the world, because it's absolutely pure, Will Institate n Boyeott.

Hybeo Gets w Divorce. A. A. Bybee, who lived awhile ago in this city, but now is in Crescent township, twelve miles north of Council Bluffs, told a story of domestic trials to Judge Thgrnell yester- day afternoon in the district court in order 1o get a diverce from Julla A. Bybee. Sey- eral years ago, It appears, Mitchell Stevens and wife lived Lere and kept the Central house, & small hotel at the corner of Bryant and Viue streets. Stevens and his wife did not get wlong very well, and a divorce suit ded in their separation. After about two ths Bybee married Mrs. Stevens and oy lived together sixteen months, when they, (00, began to buve trouble. Mrs Bybee fually cawe Lo the conclusion that her TUESDAY, JANUARY 22 1895. over had, and she picked up her belongings and_went back to her deserted hearthstone to officiate in the capacity of housekeeper for her grass widowed and divorced husband in Mills county. Soon she came back to Bybee, he says, and wanted to return, but Bybee had been getting along first rate without her and would not listen to her proposition. She went back to Stevens, and has been living with him and their three children ever since. A 9-monthe-old Bybee baby is also with them. After hearing the story, Judge Thornell decided to grant the divorce, as the woman made no defense, but he allowed her to keep the child h Invelcing And is ready to begin his January sals to make room for spring goods. Remember, Sargent has only two special sales a year— January and July. The fact Is 50c on the dollar sales in the shos business every month admits fake ad- vertising, which we never do. You have seen Sargent's business grow year after year, until we hear people say, Well, if you are not busy, we know thers 18 no business.” The reason is that we never sell a poor shoe for a good one; never sell $3.00 shoes for $5.00; never sell the cheapest | rubbers and arctics for_the best, but give you all we can for the price. Sargent has always done lots of business on s speclal shles, for they don't come ofter. and they are always business, Remember we shall do little advertising on this sale, but shall make the prices sell the goods, SARGENT, The school board held its monthly meeting last evening, with President Field and Mem- bers Thomas, Snyder, Bridenstein and Fonda present. The city engineer presented his estimate of the amount of work that would have to bs done to bring the High school grounds to a lower grade. To slope from the present grade of High School avenue on a & per cent grade line to a point forty feet south of the present school building, then on a level south 135 feet, from the center of the build- ing east and west, the ground to slope on a 1 per cent grade, would require the removal of 70,000 cubic yards of earth. To grade on the same plan from a point ten feet below the curb line on High Schol avenue would require the removal of 100,000 cublc yards. Tho cost of this was uncertain. If the con- tract should be let tomorrow it could be taken out at a ccst of from 5 cents to 7 cents per yard, there is so little demand for labor now. Prices have heretofore ranged all the Way up to 14 cents a yard. In elther plan 10,000 yards could be wasted In the High school grounds on the Glen avenue side. Only 5,000 yards could be used in bringing the Fifteenth school up to grade, so that this would cut but little figure. The com- munication was“placed on file, Chairman Fonda of the supplies committee reported that he had purchased forty new chat Superintendent Sawyer reported that dur- Ing December there were 1,948 boys and 2,035 girls enrolled, a total of 3,983. The enroliment for January, he said, would be considerably larger. The night school had an_enrcllment of fitty-geven and was pro- gressing nicely. The superintendent asked that some deci- sion be arrived at with reference to the breakage of apparatus in the chemical laboratory in the High echool. A motion to require a deposit of $1 from each pupil as a securlty, to be refunded in case there was no breakage, was carried. Sargenv's Special Sale of Shoes. ‘We shall not spend much money adver- tising this sale, but will give our customers the benefit, Remember this is a cut of everything in the store—not 50 per cent dis- count. We would not want people to know we were making 60 per cent profit. All of our $5.00 ladies' shoes during this sale will be $3.75; we have had the highest grade of goods sold in the city for that price. You can buy a splendid shoe for a man in this sale for $1.00; you can buy a ladies’ fine shoe for $1.00, patent tip, etc.; you can buy shoes cheap.

Wombold's diamond, were arraigned before Justice Cook yesterday afternoon. Crafton retained G. H. Gable as his at- torney, but Howard refused to follow suit, announcing that he was a good enough at- torney to look out for himself. Both wanted an immediate trial, but as the witnesses for the state were not on hand the case was continued until this morning at 9 o'clock. One difficulty in the way of the authorities will be to prove that the theft, if it took place at all, was committed in Pottawatta- mio county. All they know is that Wombold lost his diamond somewhere between here and St. Joseph, but this information Is not explicit enough to give the Council Bluffs courts jurisdiction, Go to the other shoe sales, see what you can do, then come to me. 1 will sell you your shoes, ‘for my sale is to sell the stuff for cash.

It contains over 1,000 acres of land, and by means of steam dredge and a ditch several miles long it has been made dry land. George R. Pearsons of Fort Dodge carrfed on the work and recelved a deed from Humboldt county. Several years and a large amount of money was expended. Now, by advice of attorneys, a lot of squat- ters have settled on the land, claiming that as Owl lake was a meandered body of water it belongs to the United States, and its bed s subject to homestead ent It promises to be an important and interesting case. It is the opinion of some good lawyers that the owners of the adjacent lands will have riparian rights, but that the squatters can get no title, DES MOINES' 8§ SATION, Inveatigation Expected to Develop Some Startling Facts as to Corruption. DES MOINES, Jan. 21.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—The suspension of Chiet of Police Johnson and others by Mayor Hillis is still attracting much attention and promises to lead to sensational developments. The sus- pended men say there will be an investiga- tion It there s any way of getting one. They applied to the city council this evening to have an investigation started. The grand Jury will be called together again, it is claimed, to sift the matter to the bottom. In the meantime officers will be dispatched to Oklahoma to bring back and sccure the testimony of a noted Des Molnes gambler and to Chicago to try and induce Manager Davis of the Capital City Driving park ‘o testify to the methods alleged to have been used to compel him to “‘cough up" $1,000 as a_condition precedent to permitting the wheel of fortune to roll during the October races, There are other charges that will make very interesting reading. One concern alleges that a demand was made by an offi- clal for the payment of $200 before he would consent to perform an official act, and an- other relates to boodle to the extent of $700 alleged to have been paid by a cerlain gambler for supposed protection.
