The regular monthly meeting of the Coun cil Bluffs boat club will bo held this evening , nml ono of the matters of interest that will bo brought up will bo with reference to seeIng - Ing what inducement the club is willing to offer to get Jacob Gnudaur , the noted profes sional oarsman now in the city , to locate hero. Mr. Uutidaur admits that he is "stuck" on the Bluffs , and hits announced his desire of ix-meving hero froift St. Louis , provided ho Is offered any inducement. Ho stated yes terday that If the boat club or Colonel I fowl wanted him to como hero and were willing to lixtcuil any encouragement ho would bo very Blurt to make the change. Said ho : "I Hko the city and I llko the lake. Mauawa can bo made a great place If It Is handled rightly. If 1 was to como hero 1 would guarantee to huvo roino boat rueoj there , and 1 would give Lake Manawa u niimo all over the country nnd till ovdr the world , I don't mean to boast of It , but I mean that its name would bo imulo lu-omlnent through the races that would bo 'held ' there. It would become known to the professional oarsmen nnd sporting journals , nnd thus known to the world at largo. I am nlwuys open to challenges , and if I was lo cated herusoii.e of my races would tukoplucu at .Manawa. 1 would inako it n point to secure - cure regattas , and I know that I could < lo quite u little In that direction. There doesn't seem to bo as much Interest In the boat club as there should be , and I would endeavor to Htlr up a Httlo enthusiasm among the boyd. These thing * go all right after they nro once started if thcro is somebody to keep the boys at work. If I was hero I would Ucep all the boats lu shape nnd tench boys to row , and then whenever they wanted to iltu crew for the state ivgattii , or any other race , I would train them. U U ull foolishness to waste time preparing for u race unless von propose to win. and I would put the crews in shuiH ) KO that they could and would win. As 1 said bcfoiv.l would like to live in the Bluffs , nnd 1 will gladly make the change if the proper parties manifest Mifllclunt Interest. " Ono of the directors of the club expressed himself as being enthusiastically in favor of the plan.Vliy , " said lie , "wo uro paying n Janitor fltO to $1(1'a ( month , and Imvo been for two years , and ho isn't worth a i-eut.

Yesterday was children's day nt the Con gregational church. There were many of their fresh and happy faces in the congrega tion , nnd the ordinance of baptism was ad ministered to ten of them. Tlio church was handsomely decorated with flowers. The altar and chancel wcro converted Into banks of sweet-scented blossoms. The music was unusually line. .Mrs. Kvans sang a magnlll- ccnt offertory , and the choir rendered some flue anthems and chanted tlio seventeenth chanter of Eccleslastcs. The pastor , Kev. G. W. Crofts , chose for his subject II Timothy : M5 : "From n child thou hast known the holy scriptures , which nro able to make thce wUo unto salvation througn faith which is In Christ Jesus. " Paul thus addressed Timothy , nnd calls at tention to his early tr.ilnlng. From the earliest dawn of his Intellect ho had been taught the word of God. This was no doubt true of all children of conscientious and faith ful Jewish parents for the law was very em phatic in enjoining the duty of parental teaching. So it was with Timothy. Ho came Into the world with a strong religious nature , and his soul grew with his body. When Paul Ilrst met him ho was ready to re ceive the knowledge of Jesus Christ. His knowledge of the scriptures pointed him to the advent of n saviour as the needle points to the polo. It did not take long to convert him. and ho became u strong and useful Christian. From this wo discover a few lacU that are worthy of thought : The child at a very early age may receive true religious impressions. The child has a spiritual nature , and that nature reaches out after that which is. adapted to its well being , after that which is spiritual. While the child may not bo able to under stand or comprehend , It can appreciate that which It receives and bo developed by it. With the child's soul it Is the same as with the mind. In the beginning of its life it looks out on nature. It sees the grass , the ( lowers , the trees , the water , the sky and its wonderful lights ; it licai-s music ; it tastes fruit ; it enters into the full enjoyment of nature ( and what enjoyment ! ) though it comprehends but little of what it sees , hears or tastes. Would you keep the child away from nature until tlio years of maturity J Would you keep the child shut up from spir itual things until grown. In after years tlio child may become a chemist or botanist , geol ogist or astronomer , and know the names and shapes mid dimensions of things , but will nuluro ever delight him us it did in his child hood ) So with rollgion. In after years lie may become versed in theology and moral philosophy , but the real essence of life and faith and love will not be any sweeter to him than when he was a child , if when a child ho was permitted to look into tlio spiritual realm. All the best things of God Ho nearest us in childhood. Everything is sweeter to our taste. As ono poet says , "Heaven lies about us in our iiffuney. " The impressions made in childhood are the most lasting. In after years wo learn but to forget. Thn tilings learned in childhood remain until the very last. The man of four-score years may for get what occurred yesterday , but instinct ively remembers what occurred seventy years ago. The flowers wo gather today soon wither , but those wo gathered in the mead ows when wo wcro scarcely taller than the popples , and the hollyhocks towered up like trees , are as fresh und bright and fragrant as When our llttlo lingers broke them off. Childhood's impressions often seem almost .ineradicable , and in this fact lies the strong est argument in favor of early instruction in the ways of righteousness. According to the text , the scriptures nro able to make one wise unto salvation. Their whole influence is in tlio direction of right eousness. In them are the principles of all true character. They teach reverence , hu mility , incokuo-s , purity , gootxlucss , charity. To them let the children bo brought at home. in the church , in the Sunday schojl. In the children of Cliristion parents , child ren gospel taught , fearing and loving God , is tho'hopo of the church , the country and the world.

The prime attraction at Lake Manawa yesterday was tlio exhibition boat race be tween Hamui and Gnudnur , nnd It was the means of drawing an unusually largo crowd. Trains on .tho Manawa motor line began run ning at noon , leaving Broadway every half hour , nnd every train was loaded to its fullest capacity. Fully two thousand people must have visited the lake by this means , to s < iy nothing of the several hundred who drove down. There is no doubt but that many moro would Imvo driven over the South Sixth street boulevard , had they not labored under the misapprehen sion that the road to the lake must neces sarily bo very muddy on account of the recent overflow of the Mosquito creek. The steamers M. F. Holircr nnd Rescue were both running and were well patronized. There were more sailboats and yachts afloat than over before in the history of the Jake. Both Omaha and tlio Bluffs wore represented among the amateur yachtsmen , and some very creditable sailing was done , liowboats were In great demand lyid the boat liverv- mcii had all the business they could attend to. There wore hundreds who prom enaded along the shorn of the lake or lounged about the hotel balconies or puvlllion , waiting for the great event of the afternoon. Colouul Ueed ranged throe rows of chairs along the south sldo of the pavillion and sold re served seats for the race at 25 cents each and did quite a business. The raeo was called very nearly on time and there was llttlo delay. Gauduur was the Ilrst to make his appearance on the water. Ho wore ti ml shirt , blue trunks , black stockings , and black and whlto cap. Ha shot away from the Council Bluffs boat bouse n few minutes before - fore , r > : : W and Hamm followed him a couple of minutes later. Both rowed around the starting flags , nnd wcro ready for the word at TclK Gaudaur caught water Ilrst uud took the lend for about two hundred yards , rowing thirty strokes to the minute. Hamm started out rowing thirty-two strokes to the minute , and soon took a lead of a quarter of a boat length , which ho maintained for n quartev of a milo , The men rowed well together until a short distance from the turn ing stake , when Gaudaur pulled u llttlo ahead , turning the stake slightly in ndvanco of Hamm. Thin lead was held throughout the balance of the nice , and was Increased on the lust half mllu to over a boat length , thcro being eight feet of ojk > u water between them when Gauduur passed the flag. The time was II ; 17. Tlio course was laid out fern n mile und turn , but was u llttlo short of that distance. Gauduur varied but llttlo from thirty strokes to tlio minute throughout the nice. nice.Hamm pulled thirty-two over about one- fourth of the coin-so , and ( hen slowed to thirty. The exhibition was very satisfactory to the members of the , boat club , but some o'f the spectators branded It u "fake , " and de clared it no iitco ut ull , In the lat ter particular they were undoubtedly correct " rect , as it could" not have been a boat race under any circumstances , as Humm iloos not pretend to bo u match for Gauduur lu u two-mile race. He doeu , however , olulm to bo ublo to boat him a quarter of a mile , which Gaudanr himself udmlts , but he bus not the staying qualities to hold his lead forever over half u mile. Humm was considerably winded at the 11 il ls U , TUcro was little ground fur Ulssutbfuo- tlon , ns the pace wai very fust for an exhibi tion pull. At the conclusion of the titco the men pulled to the IMV.II house , housed their boats nnd prepared them for shipment east. When told the timeGnudaur stated that the course must bo short. Said he , "I can't pull two miles with n turn In less than twelve minutes. When I am In racing trim I can pull two miles over -Jtralghtmviiy course In about I'l : .

Hoard of I'ul > llo AVorkH to Kxperlmeiit to Secure the Hem , The board of public works.nt its meeting Sat urday nftemoon , considered the question of the kind of brick to boused this year in paving. The contracts for this work call for Galesburg - burg brick , or brick equally as good. The board will decide what particular paving brick shall bo allowed under the latter part of this clause. Mr. Kicrstcad expressed himself in favor of patronizing homo brick makers , provided n brick could be furnished which would wear ns well , or nearly so well us the Galcsburg. In order to determine this point , a number of tlio various makes of brick will oo placed in n large revolving cylinder and tumbled about promiscuously. The brick which comes out of tills test with the minimum amount of "chipping" will be decided on , other qualities being equal. Mr. Kicrstcad reported that ho had exam ined the North Omaha sewer and found that a crack had been made along the toji between Eleventh and Twelfth streets , which could bo repaired at an expense of about $100. Major Fumy introduced a resolutionwhich was adopted , calling for samples of paving brick , to bo submitted to the board by noon on the Mth inst for inspection and trial by the board. The city engineer was directed to ask the council for authority to repair the North Omaha sewer. A'hc Only One.

A largo meeting of property owners on Leavcnworth street west of Park avenue and on adjoining streets was held at the comer of Parkaveuuo und Leaven worth street Satur day night to consider the proposed boulevard and the viaduct on Leavenworth strcot. Tlio meeting organized by electing U. C. Putter- son chairman and G. M. Cooper secretary. The property owners wore ; unanimously in favor of both projects and nearly every ouo present had something to say about the mat ter. It was the general opinion that property owners on the street would donate Jlftv feet on each side for tlio purpose of making a boulevard 150 feet wide. A committee , consisting of J. T. Bell , Col- onqlC. S. Chase and J.V. . Grillitli. was ap pointed to draft a series of resolutions to bo presented to the meeting. The committee retired and presented the following : Whereas , The city of Omaha Is now entcrlns upon un extensive systum of Improvements lu the way of parks and boulevards , wo deem it of Iho utmost Importance that the demands of the future should bo kept steadily In view ; therefore.

A BIG CUT IN THE GRADING BILL , The Halnnoo Due Hynn & WnlMi Klxctl at $17J)51.57 r'Anotlier I/one uinl Stormy .Session of the Commissioners , Appropriation sheet No. M of the genera ! fund came up before the county commission ers Saturday afternoon on second rending. On this sheet were the names of John Cor coran $ > . Sam Chambers $ J , and John Gor man f I , for witness fees in the Investigation of Mount & Grlnin's coal bill. Mr. Berlin moved that these thrco names bo stricken from the list. No second being received , the chairman called Mr. Turner to tlio chair and seconded the motion in order to'bring the matter before the board. Mr. O'lC-vlTo objected to this and moved to amend by putting the street on Its passage as read. read.Mr. Mr. Berlin said the attendance of these witnesses had not been requested by the board , and , while the amount involved was small , It would bo establishing n bad prece dent. The witnesses on the other sldo of the ease had not been paid by the board , out If these bills were allowed these other witnesses could bring in their bills also. Mr. O'lveeffo ' took the floor and reiterated his oftrrepcuted statement that the board was continually doing things which it had no right to do. Mr. Anderson said the county attorney had said these claims wcro illegal and the board had no right to pay their bills. Messrs. O'lveetfo and Anderson had a warm little spat over the records of the board. The latter said the records of the board in the years past wcro silent ns the grave on the amounts paid out on the hospital contract. Tilings waxed very warm nnd the air was sulphurous for a few minutes , as these two old war horses raked up the records of the pa t and accused onr another of a variety of crookedness. Peace finally settled down on the scene and Mr. O'lCecffc's ' amendment , to put the appro priation sheet on its passage as read , was called for. Mr. Turner became hopelessly entangled In parliamentary rules and called for advice on ull sides. Ho finally decided that ho would put the amendment iirst and It was carried. The question was called for as amended , but the quondam chairman said ho "didn't see no use votin' on the same thing agin. " Matters were finally straightened out nnd the appropriation sheet was curried as orig inally read. The county clerk requested permission to employ seven extra clerks to make up the tax list for 1890. These , booki must bo prepared for the treasurer by October 1 and the clerk stated that the work was fully one-third more this year than last. On motion of Mr. Corri- gnn the request was granted. Peter Martin kicked against paying tax on three dogs , nnd swore' ' that he had never owned a dog in his life. The finance com mittee will wrestle with the dog question. The contract with Elf Johnson for running n county grader was signed and the bond approved , > The county engineer 'submitted ' , a profile of Leavenworth street as directed by the board last Monday , showing the amount of dirt to bo moved in grading that street east of the Leavenworth street park. On motion of Mr. O'Kccffo the matter was referred to the city engineer with a request to establish the grade of this street so that a change would not bo likely to bo in n year or so. Mr. O'ICceffo remarked that the county might pay the city's share of the cost of grading , but ho wanted the matter fixed so that the grade couldnotibo changed. The bills of the thrco assistant county at torneys for May wore presented und referred to the finance committee. A report of the committee on bridgeswhicb was adopted , recommended that the contract for constructing the sewer on Q street , west of Soutli Omaha , bo awarded to E. J. Brennan. The finance committee reported in favor of reducing the coroner's bill for April by strik ing out $9 for swearing witnesses. The re port was adopted. The bill for May was al lowed in full , having no such item. Tlio bills of Drs. Hosewater and Baldwin lor posunortem examinations were tuioweu to the extent of $33 each. The report of the finance committee on the insurance on the hospital building was adopted , giving each of the following agents insurance to the amount of $ J,000 , at the rate of $18 per $1,000 for five years : W.

As soon as this report was read Mr. Ander son read n long history of the records of the commissioners beating upon the famous grading vouchers , showing each voucher which had been paid the contractors , by whom signed , and for what purpose drawn. During the reading , of this statement Messrs. Turner anp O'lCeeffo kept up a running lire of sarcastic remarks bearing upon the question. Mr. Anderson claimed that the contractors had been paid i O.SsfO fi for grading up to 18S8 , while an estimate purported to show that they had only received * lll)7.7t ! ! ) ) . Ho dilated upon this for over an hour , during which the entire listing of the hospital was ruhcd over. The lust prand jury and various other things came lirfpr consideration. Mr. Berlin wanted to" know if thcro was a contract for grading nf.'D cents. Mr. O'lCeeffo $ al ( } ho had always claimed there was , but when Air. Anderson demanded the contract , O'lCeeffo angrily demanded to know where a hundred' other contracts were of which there was no record. He- said ho had always claimed the contr.ictors should only have hud 3. ' cents for grading , but the other two commissioners on the old board had iilwavs claimed they were entitled to ! ) . ' > ccnls per ynril , hut the court was the only body which could settle the matter. Mr. Berlin rcqiichtcd to bo Informed as to some of the details In the matter , but Mr. O'lCeeffo lost his temper und expressed him self in very lurid language. Anderson and Turner then had a long wrangle , going over all the ground again. Turner cnld h didn't propose to assume any roMKHislhility for what had been done before ho became u member of the board. The question was finally brought around to the report presented by Mr. O'Kcefu. Messrs. Corrlgan und Turner signed the re port , but Mr. Anderson moved to amend by allowing the contractors ? tU' , .f > 7. At this iKilntlt was distmcrod that the re- IKirtoi SuH.Tintcnd | < Mit C'uots ' ha.l IICMT 'on before the board , and the committeenroM - lu consider this report , The ivport , was IUKCII uu uud referred to the cuwiuiuco cm ecu- Mruetlon , nnd the board adjourned to give the committee time to make lt report. Thecommittee was called to order nnd a recess taken at Mr. Anderson's request to allow him to present n minority report. Alter ivnltIng nearly two hours Mr. Ander son appeared with his ivport. Ha objected to Mi * . Coots'report being ac cepted , ns ho had not certified that the build- lug was completed according to plans and specifications , and nmdo a motion to that ef fect , which was lost. Mr. Anderson then proceeded toread a very voluminous report , covering nbout fif teen pages of legal cap. It went into all the details of the history of thu hospital as re viewed by him before , winding up by reciting that , according to the records , the contract ors had received a total of lil.S'.lj.-J ' on ac count of the hospital , nnd as the contract price , with extras as allowed by the superin tendent , was $137SS..lt' , ho recommeudci that the contractors bo awarded - l.tiiH ) . ' ! " , am' that all claims of sub-contractors bo rejected. Ho moved that this report bo made the ivport of the committee on construction. The mo lion was lost. The committee then rose nnd Mr. OKceffe's report , signed by himself , Corrlgnn mid Turner , was presented to the board. Mr. Anderson called Turner to the ehali and presented his report , wading through the entire thing again , while the other mem bers looked longingly nt the door. Ho then moved that his report bo substituted for that of tlio majority of the committee. The motion to substitute was lost , Anderson und Berlin voting for it. Anderson took the chair and Mr. O'ICceffo moved the adoption of the majority report. Mr. Berlin moved to amend the report by allowing the contractors f 10,071.1)7 ) on condi tion that bond be given covering the estimate of about $7.000 which is afloat and cannot bo found. This amount was arrived at by allow ing the contractors 1 % cents per yard for the grading. Mr. O'KcelTo opposed this , saying that the kind of grading Hyan it Walsh bad done was entirely different from that done by Jensen , Who used a machine , while Hynn & Walsh bud to haul the dirt 11 long distance and had to loud tbo dirt with shovels from corners , etc. etc.Mr. Mr. Berlin defended his course und held that the amount ho proposed was u ' fair and reasonable allowance. Mr. Turner was again made chairman and Mr. Anderson took the floor. He charged that a Job was on foot to fix up the thing so that the contractors would bo let down easy and tlio mutter kept out of court. Mr. Berlin's amendment was called for nnd was lost , Messrs. Berlin nnd Anderson voting for it and the other members- against it. The majority report was called for and carried , Corrlguu , Turner and O'lCceffo voting ing for it and Anderson and Berlin against it. Tlio board then adjourned , after a continu ous session of seven hours , until next Satur day at 3 o'clock. A IJTjOOUY PIIIZG FIGHT. Tim O'Hcrn nml llnrncy Taylor Buttle nt. South Oinnlin. The hardest and bloodiest prize fight that has taken place in the vicinity of Omaha for a number of years took place nt Gcrinaniu hall , South Omaha , Saturday night between Tim O'llern of Chicago and Barney Taylor of South Omaha. The men entered the ring at 10'IO : sharp , O'llern stripping nt 170 pounds and Taylor at 100. The light was with four ounce gloves to a finish for a purse of $100 and the gate. Ed liothcry and Paddy Murphy wcro behind O'llern , wliile Taylor vms esquired by Pete Boyle and Tim Flynn. Pat Butler held the watch for Taylor and Jimmy O'Donnell for O'llern. After the usual wrangle Dan Paul was agreed upon as referee and the men ordered to shake hands. "Timo 1" called Paul , and the two giants faced each other , O'llern , who showed u magnificent physique , towering a full head taller than Taylor. The men sparred cau tiously for , a minute , as if measuring each other's strength. O'Heru then assumed the the aggressive , and forcing Taylor back into bis corner , made n lurch for bis wind with bis left , and catching him hard , knocked him against Iho ropes. Taylor came back llko a cyclone , only to get it biff , bang in the jaw and neck with a vigor that caused him to see several million stars. Ho was very groggy and another punch would have sent him out , but the call of time saved him. Taylor came up fresirin the second , ns if yearning for more. Ho did not delay , but rushed in and planted a good ono on O'Hern's neck and another in tlio short ribj. But O'llern was like a stone wall , and cuttinir loose bo landed on Mr. Taylor's jaw with an emphasis that sent him with a dull thud to tbo resin. First knock down for O'llern. In tlio third round there was little monkey ing. O'Hern was anxious for a knock out. Fiddling Taylor back into his own corner , ho feinted warily with bis loft , then sent In his right with awful force , splitting Taylor's ' cheek and drawing the blood in a ton-cut. First blood for O'Hern ' , but not satisfied with this ho kept up his hurricane tactics aud landed a half dozen good licks on Taylor's ' jaw and nose. In the outset of the fourth round O'Horn savagely upper cut Barney , producing another bucketful of gore. Then the men clinched , and in the close lighting Tim had much the best of it. They were separated by the referee , and almost instantly Taylor landed heavily on the Chicago man's ' Jaw. This ho repeated twice , finally getting homo a ncckcr that sent O'llern to the boards. Ho was quickly on bis pins , however , and rushing in it was hammer and tongs until time was called. Taylor emerged from this round a hideous spectacle , indeed. His nose was swollen to twlco Its normal size , his cheek split open und his right eye closed , while his body was 0110 smear of blood. Both men cainojup smiling like n Juno morning for the fifth. A quick exchange of sharp blows ensued , then tlio men fell back and the round was consumed in a play for wind. In the sixth O'Hern ' led off with his right but f ilcd to land , Taylor countering him hard in the Jaw. Ho took advantage of the Chicago boy's surprise , and pasted him two more in quick succession in the mouth and neck , the latter knocking him to his knees. The seventh opened with a clinch , then , breaking , Taylor , who seemed tbo stronger of the two , forced matters and rained a storm of blows againstO'Herns' ribs , finally knock ing his man down. This was Taylor's best round. But ns strange as it may appear the South Omaha man was not in the next. O'Hern hit liim bard and often , ono blow laying the gashed cheek open afresh , and mother almost scaling his only re maining optic. A hard knock-down from O'Horn's right ended the round. Again in tlio ninth O'Hern forced the fight ing , jabbing Taylor repeatedly with his left , and smashing him in the Vibs with his right until it looked like a knock-out. But thu South Omiihog was game and ho took his gruel as if ho had been brought up on it. When Taylor como up in the tenth both eyes were about closed and bis face and chest were swathed in blood. But he wasn't out yet by n long ways and rushing in ho dealt O'llera a reminder of this Fact that made his teeth rattle. O'Horn recovered aud drova his right against Tim's frontispiece with such vehemence that Tim went down llko a log. Ho was up though , not exactly like a cat , but up all the same , and rushing blindly at the Windy City representative ho administered a sockdolager that sent him against ono of the posts as if ho had been hit with an ax. Tlio eleventh round was all O'Hern's. Ho had Taylor groggy and blind all through It , and hit him at will. , The twelfth was a repetition of the preceding - ceding round , save at its close Taylor gave about as good us ho received. The thirteenth was opened by n straight right-hander from Taylor on the sldo of O'llern's head , but the Chicago man got back with interest , punching Tayloi in his sore eyes and bleeding mouth In a s > tylo that was sickening to behold. 'In the fourteenth Taylor again took the in- Illative and i-utuhlng O'Hern with a swinging right In the Jaw , had him groggy , and the next Instant sent him down with a hard body ulirtv. O'Hcrn arose quickly and , obeying an ulmonttlon uf his borond , went after Taylor llko u house u-llre , but thp calling of time put i check to his good Intentions. Ho continued this determined onslaught In the llftcenth ami lauded left and right in the icck un the jaw and ribs at will. Taylor VVUH icarly gone , when time again saved him. "Put on the kibosh1 ! called O'llern's soc- inil , as ho made for his man in the sixttn'ntli , mil this hu would have done without ad'iubt , 'or his first Binubh sent Taylor hprawllng ou jls buck , und when ho arose- like a drunken nan , It was clear the end was i wir.
