Thu pastors of thu various Duptlst churches iu this city quietly arranged for a notable gathering to bo held In the First Haptist church yesterday'afternoon. . No announce ments wen > iiuulo through thu papers , and the Information was conveyed to thu members by pulpit announcements. This was In ac cordance with the purpose to have a union meeting of thu Daptlst churches of the city and the de lro to see how lurgu an exclusive Baptist uudlcncu could bo gotten together mm how It would look , The plan succeeded admirably , and ut ! liO ; ! yesterday afternoon Iho auditorium of the cuurcU was I nnckcd with ns fine looking nn audience M has over u ntemblod there. In the pulpit were seated the pastors of the six Baptist churches lu Council Bluffs , and outsldo of Tun UUP. representa tive them was not an Ishmael Inthobulldlng. Hcv. Mr. Altehlson of the Iowa board of Unptlst missions , who Is now n resident here , wits chosen master of ceremonies , mid In n brief opening address slated the objects Of the meeting to be n Baptist love feast , nn In terchange of JJnptlst enthusiasm for the pushing ahead with greater vigor the work of the church In the tnty. Hev. T. P. Thlekstun offered the Invoca tion , after which the congregation Joined In singing with great spirit the 91st hymn. The sinking was limited to short addresses by the pastors upon subjects selected for them by the committee who arranged the meeting. Hov. Kolchenbach of the Scandinavian church was Iho first speaker , and he wis called upon to talk for ten minutes unm "Kutrosj > ect8 and Prospects'1 of the ehureli In the world , and especially In Council muffs. Ho gave a brief summary of the history of ; ho church and concluded by giving some enter taining personal reminiscences of hl ex perience In connection with the work In this city , and felt assured that wo could point to the Baptist churches In Council Bluff In triumph and look forward lo the future with high anticipations of urightcr prospects than ever. Dr. Coolevwns required to tnlk upon the subject. "Watchman , What of the Night , or the Outlook of the BuptlstChurches In Coun cil Bluffs. " Ho remarked that In speaking of the nlgtit It might bo well to talk ubout the poverty of the church. There vvns one church In the city in whoso early history It is re corded that thcro was not a cow or n feather bed among Its members. Poverty may be a blessing , und If It Is the Baptist churches In Council HlufTs were blessed in a high de gree , for nearly all her members nro poor m this world's goods , and ministers and all were llko the lowly Master in this re spect. This was ono of the discourage ments. Another was the wickedness of the city and the innpathy In church ufTnlrs of the men of wealth , esiwcially in the early days of the church hero. He used to think that the city lacked o/.ono , but thcro has been a great change in this respect. Another dis couragement was the transitory character of the members of the church here. He hud often felt since his ministry began that ho was merely the head of a procession. People ple come and go , and there was not twenty members in the church today who were there when ho began his work here five years ago. But there are moro encouragements than dis couragements. There was encouragement in the belief of the divine mission of the church , and the fact that the great majority of the people in the city belong to Iho middle class , the class that holds the balance of power in the world und who constitute the majority of the membership , which stamps the Baptist church as the church of the masses. IJev. Thlekstun spoke upon the mission of the church in the city. Hov. Harris of the Bethany church spoke on the duty of the Baptists to themselves. Hcv. Jainunny , pastorof the colored church , made the most remarkable address of the afternoon. Ho is u full-blooded negro , with n bright , shiney face , und detailed In u graphic manner his experience In establishing his church here , which tgdny comprised only eight members. Other short addresses were followed by a general speaking mceting.participated in by the members present. * At tlio Itoston Store This Week Council ItlufTM.

Bates' buggy about 8 o'clock lust evening near the corner of Tenth street and completely wrecked the vehicle , in which of Dr. Bates und brother-in-law were a son a - - , Mr. Kelley. The horse , which is a very high spirited nnimal , became frightened when the motor car came up behind it and started down Fifth avcuuo 011 a run. Instead .of stopping his motor tlio motormsn iiushcl along at full speed close behind the buggy , the incessant ringing of the bell increasing the terror of the frantic nnimal. Had tlio street been clear the ruawav horse would soon have left the motor far behind , but the buggy struck a heap of dirt near the curbstone and was instantly turned bottom side up. The boy was thrown directly across the truck in front of the motor , which the motor man managed to stop Just before it struck him. The boy was badly bruised by his fall , but was otherwise uninjured mid Air. ICelloy escaped without injury. Tlio motor struck the buggy and mudo a total wreck of It , mid several of spectators stated that but for the fact that this partly arrested the progress of the motor | t would have run over the boy , who as.lt was had a very nar row escape. DA partyof gentlemen who witnessed the accident were so Indignant that they could hardly bo restrained from administering to the motor man H soveru thrashing , which they plainly told him ho deserved for his fool- imrdy and dangerous trick in so closely fol lowing up the runaway with such an outland ish racket , The horse , which freed himself when the buggy capsized , continued his mad flight , and was caught near the transfer. He was badly cut In several places , and the harness was torn to pieces. Young Bates was resting comfortablv lust evening , und will recover from his full In a very short time.

Ditlloy has suddenly Jumped into thu front rank as u divorce attorney , and may well lay claim to outaluiub' them with neatness anil dispatch. The only fnult to bo found with them Is that there Is n well devel oped possibility that divorces that mature so suddenly will IK ) very short lived. Colonel Dalley succeeded In breaking the record last Saturday , when ho filed his imtltlon. took a default , and the decree was Issued , all In the brief space of sixty minutes. The case was that of Mrs. Hattlo D. Mllllkcn vs K. U. Mil- liken and the divorce was sought on the grounds of cruel and Inhuman treatment and adultery. The defendant did not put In an appearance , and the plaintiff took n default. All that then remained to do was for the plaintiff to prove up and get her decree. The plaintiff herself was put on the stand for the purpose. The gist of her testimony was to the effect , as she expressed It , that she "got stuck on n cowboy and got left. " She now works at Swansea's music store , and no longer has nny use for her recreant husband. The plaintiff , In her testimony showed that she married the defendant in this city In June , 18SS , and that shortly after their mar riage they went west , where they remained for several months. Then came u family row which resulted In Mrs. Mlllikcn returning to her home In this city. Matters dragged along In this manner fur some time , but the breach was finally healed. Mllllkcn agreed to bo kinder to his wife and she returned to him. He did treat her better a while , but she dis covered that ho had not been all to her that a husband should bo that ho had been inti mate with another woman and that the re sult of the Intimacy was the birth of a child. She licensed him of the crime and ho admitted that such was the case. Then followed sev eral more weeks of his abuse , mid she re turned to her mother. The testimony of her sister , Mrs. Tracy , and her mother , Mrs. Koyal D. Amy , was In substance the same as that given by the defendant. As soon as Judge Deemer heard the evi dence ho granted the divorce , and restored to the petitioner her maiden namo. And now comes the statement that certain matters in connection with the case were not conducted as they should have been. It is alleged that the petition was not filed until just before the default was obtained , and that the decree was therefore Illegally granted. The clerk of the court stated that the petition was filed Satur day , at which tlmo the filing fees were paid , bi.t there was no record of the case even when the case was on trial , and there was nothing to show that such a proceeding had been insti tuted. Inasmuch ns the statutes allow a cer tain time for the filing of an answer in such cases , It is charged that there must have been some action not in accordance with legal re quirements , and talk of disbarment proceed ings is therefore rife. Judge Deemer will look into the matter today and see where the trouble lies. Nervous debility , poor memory , diffidence. | Scxunl weakness , pimplescurcd by Dr. Miles' is'ervine.

How the King , Queen , Jack anil the Itcst. of Them are Produced , It is surprising the great number of playing cards that are used/ One fac tory alone , in Ohio , turns out tin average of : iO,000 packs a day. The owner at tributes the present great demand prin cipally to the progressive cuchro erazo , and says that the Americans are the greatest people on the globe for amusements at cards. A re porter of the Cincinnati Times-Star , who visited the establishment , was told in answer to numerous queries , about the ways of manufacturing the cards : "Much of the process is a secret with us , but still I can toll and show you a great deal. The bristol cardboard for making the cards consists of two sheets glued to gether by being passed between two im mense rollers. The cardboard must then bo dried , pressed , glu/.od and prepared - pared for further work. The cardboard is prepared in sheets largo enough to contain a whole puck of playing cards. " "What's thisV asked the nownpaper man , as ho saw a largo revolving ma chine turning out endless or seemingly so rolls of white paper , with ono side printed the color of variously figured calico. "It's the process of printing the paper which is to bo pasted on the back of cheap playing cards. It's printed just as calico-printing is done. All , or nearly all , cheap playing cards have a calico- colored baclc. Tills lengthy strip of cal ico-colored paper is subsequently cut into sheets about three feet in length to correspond to the sheets of bristol card boards. " "Aro the various colors on cards printed on the cardboards ? " "Sometimes. See this glazed face on the sheets of cardboard ? Well , it is now ready for printing. The printing is a line art , too , as so many colors are often put on at ono impression. After being printed the sheets are dried and then sent to Iho cutting machines to bo cut into strips as wide as a playing card is long. These strips are carefully.as sorted , measured and then passed to the 'punchers , ' or machines which 'punch' or cut out the separate cards , eVery ono of which must bo punched separately , great care being neces sary In order that the punching is done accurately , otherwise the margin of the cards will not bo true and they will jiro- sontan ugly appearance. The punching is a wonderful process and the machines which do it are almost human-liko in their motion and dexterity. " IIKAUTS ItUOICK AT HIS TOUCH. A IIiiIl-FIlitcr who Playeil the Troti- Imdour anil Wrote I'oeins. Strolling through the magnificent cafes of Barcelona yesterday with my friend , the advocate , writes Edgar L. "Wakonmn , in the Chicago Inter Ocean , ho was able to do mo what ho regarded as the highest favor and honor that can come to a stranger In Spain. This was an introduction to an ambitious and already almost famous bull-figlUor , or espadii , of this city. This recalled personal reminiscences of this class of men and some interest ing facts concerning the greatest two living cspadas , Francisco Sanchez and Luis Mir/.zantiui. The latter I have known. Perhaps the most famous of all matadors , the espada primero of the world , is Francisco Sanchez ( alias La- gartijo ) . Ho is probably the most dur ing , skilful bull-lighter that over lived. His handling of the wild and savage bulls of Jaraina is something marvel lous. lous.Ho Ho now seldom appears , $10.000 being the price demanded and secured in ad vance for each performance. IIo is a very great pot with the Spanish nob. ilty , is very rich , and was the warm personal friend of the late King Alfonso. Other famous espadas are Rafael Molina , Angel Pastor , .lose GomeITcrmosilla , Juan Sanchez and Luis Mczzantini. The last is rapidly becoming the first Spanish favorite. His life has been full of romance and adventure. IIo was des tined for the priesthood by his parents , who wore people of refinement and proper aspiration , IIo possessed a po etic , restless nature , and ran away from the university. Joining a band of strolling musicians , ho wandered for several years through the Spanish provinces , breaking many a fair liidy's heart and having his own heart broken by a swcot little peasant girl of .Aranjitez. His friends finally found him and secured him a govern ment position in the postal department at Madrid. Hut ho deserted this. Then ho wrote poems which wore gladly printed , but would not sell. Soon ho pang in opera , but fame was too great a laggard. Then he publicly announced that ho would become the most famous bull-fighter of Spain. Spain laughed at him. That alone gave him note. Then ho gave thu Spanish people this saying : "Not a king , but a tenor or a bull-lighter only , can enslave Spain ! " IIo is still young. Ho is always a gen tleman. Ho has already amassed wealth , and is the only rival of the peerless espada , Francisco Sanchez , in thu affec tions of the people of Spain , OF INTEREST TO THE FARMERS A Strong Pica Fpj jho Neglected Merino Shee 'Industry. ' THE DEHORNlim OF OATTLE. An KngllNli I'aper CondemiiH the 1'raotluo as Nqp'rtlcHS anil Cruel The Profitable HolNleln Cow- Hull ntrj Anlmnlf. In Kansas , Nebraska and other pre eminently agricultural states , agricul tural pursuits naturally crowded out wool growing , the latter being a matter of only secondary consideration ; the plough drove out the sheep , but the cause of a partial abandonment of the business is the great grazing area of the west and improper care , and as a neg lect to produce in the stud Hocks of the east , size , strength , length of staple and vigor in the constitution of an animal not originally too strong , such sheep as lit " it" the were subjects to "rough on boundless plains of the west , says a writer in the American Wool Reporter. It is a tale oft told in Ohio and else where , today , of how the "Vermontor" with a shrewdness characteristic only of a Xew England "Yankee , " peddled his sheep through their domains , how with glib tongue they descanted on the merits of such sires as "Rip Van Winkle , " "Wall Street , " "Banker" and "Centen nial , " of the heavy lleuccs of 'Uason" ( of "Golden Flecco" fame ) , of "Magnet" and of "Wrinkloy , " and traced readily their distinct blood lines and individu ality. , Many wore the victims of sheep peddlers. Many there were who found out , alasl too late , that an excess of wrinkles and grease were what they were breeding , and that they could not meet with such sheep , the requirements of the day. Wo believe that a little good judgment and faith in the business will bring the Merino sheep industry out all rightin _ the near future. Let us say that no in dustry artificially carried on can long prosper. Wo cannot alTord to abandon a business which has cost so much \ \ atchf ul care , time and money to build Cattle. The subject of dishorning cattle , says the London Lancet , is again attracting the attention of Scottish agriculturists , in consequence of the case now pending in the court of appeal in Edinburg. The question as to whether or not this pro ceeding is in a legal bonso "cruel , " and therefore punishable turns , it will bo remembered on the further question whether it is necessary. If cruelty betaken taken merely to iinply the deliberate in- iliction of pain , there can bo no doubt that dishorning in tote , or , a wo might say , from tip to base , is cruel. It must unquestionably cause pain at the time of the operation , with more or less after suffering. In thisw respect any differ ence between alternative methods , as tipping , half-horning or total horning is simply ono of degree. In every case the saw has to traversp a sensitive skin- layer , cither continuous with the hornoy covering , as at its base , or subjacent to it where sheathes the supporting core , and a central axis of highly sensitive bone. Suppuration , trivial when the tip alone is divided , but increasing as the seat of section approaches the skull , inevitably follows. In the course of the trial the veterinary evidence was agreed in asserting that greater suffering was inflicted when a horn was divided at the middle , whore pus mignt burrow in the projecting stump , than when the section opened the sinuses at the skull , through which its exit was more easy. Another argument in favor of the latter method was adduced by Professor Williams when ho referred to the possibility in this case of dividing the nerve of supply before its distribution in the horn. Against these facts , however , might bo placed the close proximity of the skull sinuses to the brain cavity , and the im possibility , by section of the nerve above mentioned , of controlling sensation in the communicating nerve supply from other sources. Prelimiuury section of this trunlc should rather bo considered the natural aiuesthetic in horn-byring. The process , however carried out , is es sentially painful , and discussions as to the relative severity of its effects are , therefore , of no great moment. In face of the fact that m many districts where cattle are bred no such measure has been found to bo necessary , while isolation or other painless means have Hiilliced for the restraint of the moro violent ani mals , wo cannot but hold that dishorn ing is a needless , painful , and , therefore , cruel and illegal remedy. Profits in High Orailo Cattle. Experience is essential to success. If wo can utilize the experience of others wo gain half a lifetime , rather than to learn it from nersonal experience. Secretary Slinms of the Kansas state board of agriculture says experience shows that this is a progressive ago , and that the methods which , oven twenty years ago , were productive of satisfac tory results , cannot be successfully ap plied in these times , says the Western Agriculturist. That in the production of beef , the old rule of numbers without regard to quality has been continued too long. While rapid progress in the improvement of beef cattle has been made in certain localities , that the general - oral advance in this direction within the last decade has not , in my judgment , come up to the demands of the times , or the reasonable expectations of our most progressive farmers and feeders. That native or unimproved animals are yet too common , and.- ' that their uncertain quality and irregular delivery in the markets stand as a constant menace to the general beef producing interests of the country , with no compensating ad vantage to any one the consumer of in ferior beef excqpt't'd ; and it costs no more per annum toifeed and care for the grade than is required for the unim proved animal. , , Halt 1'oivAnluialn. Why do animals heed salt ? Because animal fat is an ettltomo of mineral and vegetable matter ! ? , ' and salt is a medum between them a compound of these com pounds in certain definite proportions , and grass and grains do not supply a sufficient proportion to complete the ani mal compound and are not therefore complete nutriments , says a writer in the Horse World. Horses fed on an excess of grain , in disproportion to most fibrous plants , will eat the ground with avidity when they can got at it , and it supplies in a meiiHiiro a corrector of veg etable ascidlty , Salt being a chloride of sodium furnishes both chlorine and soda , the latter being a neutralize ! ' of exces sive ascldlly , especially derived from [ Trasses , pampercu horses should be pro vided with the following ball , always within easy reach : Flrfat make a strong brine of rock salt with a tenth of salt petre in it ; then get a spit of pure clay and a half a gallon of fresh wood ashes , and of these make a mixture , with Hiiflle- ient water , and roll into a ball and dry. Keep this in a till of the manger , clean and always lu reach of the pet animal , just ns the grass and ground in his native wild. As 1 have said , the horse is an epitome of all that he will eat in health , and this is why they nourish and build up each function , To Dispose or Kino Hntter. Practical Farmer : When a dalrymrn has achieved success in the manage ment of his business and makes excel lent butter , the next 'point is to find the most profitable disposal of It. Private customers will gladly pay a larger price than the stores will give for the butter , and it is not difficult to find such pur chasers. Ono successful dairyman , who has a largo circle of customers in pri vate famines and gets from CO cents to 75 cents per pound , manages in this way. First ho bent samples to the best families in his nearest village ujul easily Bold all his product at 10 cents per pound above the ordinary retail price and lo cents above what the stores cave. With each package of live pounds ho sent a folded circular laid on top of the butter to the effect that it was made from selected cows , fed on the best food and kept in clean , healthful stables , with every re gard all through the process to perfect cleanliness , and that the quality is guar anteed to bo always the same. These circulars found rcatfers among friends of the customers , and very soon orders came in from a distance.

Poultry Review : Without proper facil ities it is almost useless to attempt to raise "broilers"succcssfully or profitably for the young chicks are brought out at a time " when they must bo well provided for"but it pays , and pays handsomely , too , to raise early spring chickens to those who have had experience in rais ing chiclcens foi the market. The dilllcuityin procuring brood hens when they are most needed makes it necessary to use incubators of some kind , but a poor incubator is an expense to any ono. ( Wo speak from experience. ) As to which ono is "best" we do not pretend to say , for there are several which will do good work when run according to di rections. It is foolish lo expect incubat ors to hatch every egg and run them selves without care. It is not a very difficult or expensive matter to hatch out the chicks , but the trouble and work commences as soon as the chicks are hatched by properly car ing for them. A good brooder and arti ficial heat is absolutely necessary to suc cess , and a suitable room or building should bo provided , which need not bo very expensive. As to food wo have dropped the hard boiled egg system , unless occasionally fed mixed with other food it is sure to cause bowel trouble. Generally wo feed chicks when they nro about twenty-four hours old , w'o place dry ( pin head ) oatmeal and luke warm water before them , they will cat as soon as they require it ; whenthoy are a few days old feed bread or cracker Kniilrnil in milk , or makn n I'nkn of equal parts of corn and beef scraps or animal meal is excellent , add a little baking soda and popper , bake the same as bread and feed the soft part to the chicks , and the crusts tp the old hens. For a variety , give a little meat , pota toes , rico cabbage , onions , kale or other green food. Keep the brooders at as oven temper ature as possible and let not moro than fifty small chicks run together to have them do well , or they will crowd , killing the weaker ones. Always clean the brooders and runs once a day if possible , to avoid their be coming sour and filthy. Keep before them at all times good , clean , fresh water or mill ; , and a box of cracked corn , wheat , charcoal , ground bono , shells , meat , oto. Very young chicks have small crops , therefore they require feeding at least four to six times a day , or every two hours ; give them different varieties of food , such as boiled rico , table scraps , and never feed moro than they will eat up clean of soft food. Chicks treated in this manner will grow fast , and bo ready for market at an early date. Keeping lloi-Hcs Clean. National Stockman : Few owners of horses are aware of the importance of keeping the skins of the animals clean. Proprietors of valuable stock usually require - quire their hostlers to keep the animals so well groomed that their coals will shine likoa now dollar , and so clean that they would hardly soil a white handker chief. This is done to please the eye , the owners usually beintr oblivious of the fact that by pursuing this course they are using ono of the best moans to conserve the health and vigor of the ani mals. The skin and lungs are the great purifiers of the blood. They are the me diums through which are expelled waste materials of the blood , such as carbonic acid gas , water , etc. , which , if sulTorcd to remain in the system become aetivo poisons. The skin naturally does about as much of this work as the lungs. If the former is not kept clean and its pores become obstructed , upon the lungs devolves so much moro of the labor to perform as the skin fails to do ; and if Lho lungs are overworked the aijimal loses a portion of his power , speed and endurance. When a good portion of the pores of the skin are closed , as in a colder or fever , or from filth , the breath is overladen with moisture , plainly prov ing that the lungs are doing double work ; and when the lungs are partly de cayed , as in persona having pulmonary consumption and accompanying night sweats , the skin is then doing double labor , as the profuse perspiration indi cates. These facts show the intimate re- ntion existing between the skin and the lings , and evince the necessity , for the ? oed of the animal , that the bkin bo { opt clean and thus preserve a healthful equilibrium of action between those two mporlant features of the animal econ omy. An animal with a dirty hide can- lot be at its best. Cleansing the skin is strengthening the lungs. HAD JUS TO.NOUI-3 CUT OUT. X Texas Ttnnohnmn Who AVI 11 Have No HeiiKo ol'Tantc. George Watson , a Texas ranchman , cached Now York the latter part of November with a consignment of polo ionics from Urnyson county. They voro part of a purciiaso by James Got- Ion Bennett and Lord Lonsdulo , and voro to be shipped to England , says a ow York special to the St. Louis Ro- niblic. Watson had cancer of the tongue and vent to the charity hospital. It was dc- idcd to remove his tongue , lower palate tnd the lingual glands beneath the ongue. On the afternoon of December J the operation was performed by Irn. Colly and Gillam. For several months Watson took nourishment through a sil ver tube inserted into hiswsophuguH just > olow the right car. lie wuu uuublu to articulate nt all fornmontli following the operation , and the llrst words ho uttered were shouted nt n troublesome cut in his ward In tlio hospital. Ills language wits idloumllc and emphatic. Thcro are no outward Indications to show Unit Watson Is tonguoless and paltiteless. His speech is hatnpurod a great deal , his articulation being defec tive. Ho will always speak somewhat Inartk'ulately. The greatest lost * to him is the loss of all sense of taste and smell , Swallowing solids Isn very dllllctilt task for him , as ho lias lost the power to gulp food which the tongue gives.

The scat of the disorder was soon exposed - posed and what was the sprprlso of the surgeons to tlnd the cmiso of all the mis chief was nothing but n common pin , around which had collected a pussy ab scess. The pin had been swallowed by Mr. Harris some years ago and Useourso could bo clearly traced through the ali mentary canal and muscles of the body to the loft groin , whore- had become firmly lodged.

An Ivstlmahlo California Voting Lady /Saurlllocil to Fashion. Miss Cyrena Alice Boyil , u young lady aged about nineteen years , whoso parents reside about four miles from Winters , Yolo county , died today under peculiar circumstances , says a Sacramento dis patch to the San Francisco Examiner. A few weeks ago the young lady was visiting friends in San Francisco , and while there conceived the idea of having her ears pierced. A lady friend was with her when the operation upon her ears was performed. Miss Boyd was very particular to urge that white silk bo inserted in the punc ture , but it appears that the thread finally used contained some coloring matter. A day or so after the operation Miss Boyd returned to her parents' homo in Yolo. Within a few days she experienced soreness about her ears , but at first did not regard the matter as of much con sequence. One day she and her sister happened to bo out in a. shower and Miss Uoyd was drenched to the skin. The result was she took cold. The effect of exposure began at once to manifest itself in her ears , already swollen and sore. Then she became alarmed , and , upon her father's advice , came to this city to secure medical at tention. Her ears swelled rapidly , the swelling extending to her face , and finally one of her eyes was closed com pletely. Erysipelas sot in and the girl suffered horribly. Blood-poisoning followed and then it was evident that her life was be yond the power of saving. A consulta tion of doctors was ordered , but no earthly power was availing to stivo her , and death came to her relief. Miss Boyd was about nineteen years old , and a bright and attractive girl. She was engaged to inarry a well known . citizen of Fresno. SPECIAL NOTICES. COUNCIL BLUFFS.
