Dr. Cooley yesterday morning made a brief announcement to his people , thimKiti } : them for their kindly expressions In regard to his resignation as their pastor , but remark ing that he felt that the resignation must bo llnal , mid could not bu recalled. Ho urged Hiem to fo-opuruto heartily during the few weeks of their continued sojourning together , tliat all might be In guod readiness for who ever should bo chosen to succeed him in the work. Nearly all the flrcmen at the power house of thu vlec trie motor company were overcome by thJhent yesterday , and during the greater part of the afternoon the company was short bamlcil. Three of tbe men were prostrated nt nnu lime , and It Is claimed that this was the real cause of the shut down Instead of the burning out of an arnmturo , as reported. One ot the prostrated men was in a pretty bad condition , mid futal results were feared. Ill-own it linger llxcd up n great attraction in the window of their Broadway eigar store Saturday afternoon. They filled 'the largo window with frcfh green sod clear up to the cdgo of the fountain and then placed in the Kiirdcu two young snowy white rabbits nnd a wood of live 4-oiniK ducks. They nnido u happy family , but they were not permitted to enjoy their kingdom long. Satin-day night ufler the place was closed the window was hivudrd by nits and nearly all of the happy family were devoured. Travel on the electric motor lines was stopped for an hour or two yesterday utter noon. The Intense heat of the day added to that provided by the friction of the machinery was too much for the dynamos in the power house. The insulation on the armature of one of the largest ones was melted off nnd the nrmatiiro was burned out , leaving the cars stranded all along the lines. Many of the passengers on them had taken a rldo Just to BCO if It was possible to cool olT by the rapid motion. They were compelled to swelter In the silent couches for two hours or walk to the points they desired to reach.

Dr. Henson was exported to preach in the Hint Baptist church yesterday morning by Bomo who had seen an onnouneoinent to that elTcct. Such nn arrangement wns nmdo dur ing the week , but us Ur , Henson hud to lec ture Saturday , preach at the Chautaumia yesterday afternoon , and is to leoturo this evculng , ho was excused in view of the ex treme boat. The management of tbuUhnu- tauqua also objected , fearing that It might lessen the attendance nt the grounds. As a purthtl atonement for those who were disap pointed in not hearing him yesterdav morn ing , bu attended the fccrvico , offered the opening prayer , and gave n short tnlls to the Sunday school. The barbers were the recipients of a few dimes and a good deal ofspinputhyyestcrduy. The stiff light they had nmdo tq have the Sunday law enforced had proved it failure , und yesterday wns the first day for two months that they had been compelled to open their .shops nt t o'clock and mingle thoring of the razor with the musie of the Sabbath morning church bells. It was a red-hot , vicious day , and the few dimes they took In repaid them but poorly for the loss of rest nnd temper. It Is reported that hereafter there will bo no more Sunday shaving for 10 cents. Many of the barbers , before the Sun day closing was agitated , made no difference In the Sunday charges , but the two months' tnstoof liberty has worked a great change , nnd they have determined to make the public pay for Sunday work If it Is demanded. At the meeting of the Second 1'resbyterlan church ( formerly the Harmony ) mission yes terday afternoon the question of abandoning tno present site or the chun-h and moving the building to another und better location was discussed. There was too small an at tendance present to take any delllnlto action , but the remarks Indicated n favornblo view of the project. It U claimed that there are too small a number of people living In the Imme diate vicinity of the church to sustain it and tlMit only u small portion of these attend the meetings. The people on Harrison street , or n large number of them , hnvo expressed n do- Biro to have the church located on tuat thor oughfare , and huvo pledged It n hearty sup port if It Is moved thvro. His ussoited that nn organization of fifty members and the at- tcndanco of ut least one , hundred can bo se cured If the chungu of location Is made. The proposed silo Is on the comer of Harmony und Harrison stroots. If the necessary moans can bo secured to defray the cost of moving the building and purchasing the lot It Is quite probable the chnugo will bo mndo. The political breezes arc beginning to stir , nnd the notes they carry from the local demo cratic hurp nro not replete with harmony. In fact that political Instrument is sending forth Bomo really discordant sounds , A meeting was held on Saturday evening , and another will bo hold tomorrow evening for the pur pose of organizing democratic clubs. Os tensibly all of thesu clubs nro for the pur pose of furthering the fortunes of the party la this city , but ut least ono of them is for the purpose of boating the life out of what is styled the Bowmuu-Lney ring. It will bo composed largely of young uijd energotio democrats , and it is headed oy ex-City Clerk Kobert Huntlngton , who Is reputed to bu act ing under thu ardors of Alderman Knophur.

A TORRIDLY HOT SABBATH , How the People of tlio Bluffs Sweltered and Sweated Yesterday. AID , LACEY'S PLAN FOR A RECOUNT. Dentil Among tbo Untiles Council lllunV Oarsmen Healing Through I'altli A Cool Day nt llintiluu- qtiu Notes and Yesterday was n scorcher. It was u pnralyzcr. And everything and everybody was para lyzed. At 10 o'clock the thermometers were regis tering between 03 and 100 In the shadiest of shady places. The streets were deserted by noon , Hy the middle of the afternoon the atmosphere was torrid. What llttlo breeze there was stirring was so hot that It scorched nnd withered whatever It struck HUe the breath of a blast furnace. At ! 1 o'clock the thermometer nt Foster's Indicated 100 , and it did not lie to any appreciable extent. The stone pavements were so hot that when any sweltering wretch attempted to cool oft in front of his residence by sprinkling with the hose the water six/led and Hashed up into steam. At least that Is what Hilly Maloney said It did In front of the Manhattan. Until hito in the afternoon there wns scarcely any t ravel on the motor lines. It was simply too hot for people to venture out of doors. There wen ; a few parties who braved the heat and went up to Fail-mount park , but they obtained little relief. The air seemed to increase In torrldlty the higher you climbed. A large number went to the Chun- tuuipiii grounds early In the morning and many attempted to go hi the afternoon to hoar the famous Schubert qunrtcUebut score of them nbandoncd the trip after they had started. Three horses were overcome by the heat on the Chautuuquii road and the occu pants of the carriages hud to abandon their vehicles and walk back to town. The few that braved the heat and reached the grounds were well repaid. In the grateful shade of the trees there was found tbo coolest place that was dlscoveied anywhere during the day.A. . A. O. Foster said It was two degrees hotter than at tiny time during the summer , und two or three hotter than ho had ever seen bcforo during u residence of many years In Council 11 luffs. At li o'clock the sun went under n cloud that boiled up from the Nebraska sldo of the river , but It found the thermometers dancing above the 102 mark. Darkness eamo on ut 0 o'clock with the temperature at 100 , and not a breath of air stirring. During the evening and afternoon hundreds of thousands of gallons of water were drawn from the big reservoir in the park and scattered over the blistering lawns nnd blazing streets. But the water came from the hose steaming hot and did llttlo to wards cooling the heated air. And thus closoa the hottest day of the sea son and one of the hottest on record. And in all the torrid fury of the day there was not a casualty , and consequently' an Item for the newspapers. A good ho < o reel free with every 100 feet of hobo purchased at Blxby's. .T. C.

"I tun in favor of ap propriating $ . * ( ) of the city funds for this purpose. 'Wo could appoint about twenty good , bright , active young men , divide the city up into small districts nnd they could complete the work in a week. And It will not cost over $500.

Mothers should bo very watchful and careful. Babies that use nursing bottles are the most subject to summer complaints , and the bottles should have the greatest care.

Hoalln-j Through Faith , The First Baptist church was crowded yes terday morning by an niidlcueo which listened with much interest to Kov. John Alexander Dowlo. This reverend gentleman Is a gradu ate of Kdlnburg and has been for years paV tor of n church In Melbourne , Australia. Untcr ho put in u very succu f ul year on the Puclllo co.ist nnd for the past two weeks or moro has been stlrriug up the religious teach ers and tnlnkers la Omaha. His specialty seems to bo the doctrine of healing through faith. As this was the theme of his discourse yesterday morning he wns closely listened to. His text was : "When the oven was como they brought unto him many that were pos sessed with duvils ; und ho cast out the spir its with uls word ; and healed nil that were sick : that it might bo fulfilled which was spoken by Esnias the prophet , saying , him self took our Infirmities , and bear our sick nesses. " The speaker urged that the words should bo taken literally. Ho quoted numerous other passages , commenting upon them , and giving to all the same literal Interpretation. He took the i > osltlon that thu atonement of Christ wns complete , that It was to free man not only from the bondnga of sin , but also from dis ease , pnln nnd death. If the ntoneincnt was simply for the foul sickness it was not a per fect ono. God's children were suffering from the consequences of sin In physical ways , and in his belief Christ by his suffering nnd death opened the way for emancipation from sin und its consequences , for man's sulrlt , his mind , nnd bis body. Ho graphically narrated his own euro from physical ailments which had so tortured him that ho had wondered why ho had ever bean born. That euro was effected twenty-six years ngo mul ho had had no sickness since then , lie protested ngalnst the use of the term fnlth-hculing us misleading. It was not the faith which cured. It was simply the menus UirouL'h which the gift came. It wiw simply the wire leading from the dynamo. Christ , through the Holy Spirit , did the healing. Faith was simply the channel through which It came. But now could ono get this needed faith } Some thought they could get It by prajvlng for it. Not so. Paul said : "So then faith cometh by hearing , and hearing by the word of God. " Study the word. Another basis for the speaker's support of his position was that there was no doubt but that God , through Cnrist , healed his chil dren ; that It win done willingly. God was unchangeable. The day of healing had neb passed. Those who so taught taught error. There was no record In the book , showing when , or how , or why iho gift of healing hud been taken back. This gift was surely made , and it had never been recalled. This with other gifts were "in the Holy Spirit. " These gifts were often spoken of tm being given to the churches. God knew better than to plnco these gifts In the hands of the churches. Ho placed them "in the Holy Spirit. " The church could only secure Iho gifts by having the Holy Spirit In the churches. That was why the gift of healing did not seem to bo in the churches. They hail not the Holy Spirit in them. The speaker scourged the so-called Chris tian science with a lash of many cords. Ho denounced the system as being not only uii- Chrlstlim but anti-Christian. It was not science. It was n mere mixture of mud. Thcosophy was also , in his opinion , another diabolical scheme. Spiritualism was put in the sumo category. 81M3ClA.Ii KOIl THIS WI313K. At the lion ton Store , Council 151 u IT * . LADIES' MUSLIN UNDBRWEAH. COHSET COVERS.

Cool Clmnt'iuiitm. Chautnuqua wns as cool as any place yes terday , but there was not enough frigidity to tempt great crowds of people to seek Its shade. There was n fair attendance , but no such numbers as would have gone out to the grounds had the day been just reasonably warm. Those who thought of going by 'bus were frightened out by the remembrances of the dusty roadway and the presence of the roasting sun. These who planned on going out by rail had hardly less dread of the terri ble blaze through which they would have to climb In ( roing from the Chuutauqua depot to the amphitheater. So good sense dictated a stay at homo. To those who live on the grounds , and the few who braved the scorch and went uny- waj' , there was a treat In the form of n ser mon by Hov. Dr. Honson. Ho Is far differ ent as o preacher from what ho is us a lec turer. In his sermon there was an absence of that humor nnd drollery which makes his lectures so amusing.

Calling names docs not amount to much un less they are called off for the enumerator to take down. Tbero have been enough names called , hi a certain sense , to swell the census of Council Bluffs to double its real count. But abuse is not securing justice for tbo city , which is now suffering the greatest wrong ever perpetrated upon it. It is evident that Captain Hlght Intends sticking by his position. Ho is by no means willing to admit that ho and his assistants' can bo mistaken about the count. This city has done a great deal for Captain Hight In many ways and at times when ho needed Its support in securing desired positions. It is not possible that ho would bo guilty of ingrutltudo and ho doubtless would do anything which ho could conscientiously to satlsly his friomls. Ho evidently believes ho is right nnd , as nil know , ho would not sacrlflce his notions of right , no matter what the cost might bo. It seems , therefore , certain that there is no hope to bo looked for from that source. The only way out is for the board of trade to stop wasting breath In abuse and go to work to secure now men to take n new count. It is useless to ask for a voluntary enrollment or to sock any eorrections'of the lists BO long its they are in the hands of the present enumer ators. If Captain Hlght will not loin in helpIng - Ing secure a now count of tbo disputed dis tricts by now men , then it would seem ad visable to have an enumeration made any way , although It bo unofllclal. Such an enumera tion would go fur to convincing the general public that Captain Hight nnd his men have neglected tholr work and would bo a stronger showing than any moro abuse. Such lists could bo tendered Captain Hlght and ho could bo brought to face tlw Issue directly , cither refusing to accept these omitted names or else making tbo necessary corrections In his lists. lists.Tho The Manhattan sporting headquarters , 418 Broadway.

M. , to the public Bqutu-o at Independence , Mo. , a distance of nearly oiL'ht hundred miles , through a country inlmblted by warlike Indians , n largo part of which was then a sandy desort. " licing urged to give an account of the great rldo , Uraham proceeded : "It wns nbout the year 1851 that Aubrey gave liis wonderful test of human endurance before which all other attempts of the kind palo into insignificance. lie was a short , heavy act man , thirty-eight years of nge , in the prime of manhood niul strength. His business for ton years as a Siuitu Fo trader had made 'aim per fectly fumillur with the trail and till the stopping places. Ho was a perfect horseman , nnd although there were great riders in those days , none of them caved to dispute the palm with Aubrey. On a wngor of $1,000 ho undertook to rldo nlono from Santa Fete to Independence inside of six days. It was thirty-nine years ago that ho under took the terrible feat. It was to bo the supreme otfort of his life , and ho sent it half dozen of the swiftest horses ahead to bo stationed at different points for use in the rldo.

No man could keep with the rider , and ho would huvo killed every horse in the west rather than have failed in the undertak ing. It took him just ilvo days and four teen hours to perform the feat and it cost the lives of several of his best horses. After being carried into a room at the old hotel at Independence , Au brey lay for forty-eight hours in a dead stupor before ho came to his senses. lie would never luivo recovered from the shook had It not been for his wonderful constitution. The feat was regarded by western men as the greatest exhibition of strength nnd endurance over known on the plains. " "What became of Aubrey afterwards ? " wns asked.

Curious Recovery of a Family Hello 8.UOO Mll.-s from Home. Frank Somplo , manager of the estate of the lute Vice President William T. Thaw of the Pennsylvania railroad , re covered his deceased father's lost bible in an extraordinary manner , writes it correspondent of the Philadelphia Rec ord. The story forms a pretty sequel to the recent tour of the holy land by the three Methodist ministers from Pitts- burg , Rev. W. II. Pearce , D.D. . Rev. T. S. Leak , D.D. , and Rov. J. A. Bul- lantyno. Nearly two months ngo , when the party , bound homeward , reached the Mediterranean sea they boarded a vessel ' sel at Aloxundrottn , a s'mall town on the Syrian coast. It is over eight thousand miles from Pittsburg. Some olliuial of the levee followed the gentlemen on board , nnd going up to Hov. Dr. Pearce handed him a small bund biblo. The man explained that it had been left there by some person years before , and us it would probably bo badly misscii by its owner It had boon carefully preserved at Aloxandrotta , awaiting the visit of other Pittsburgors to carry it back to its owner's homo. So Dr. Pearce was requested to place the book in the hands of the right man nt Pittsburg. Ho brought it homo with him. The volume is ono of the old-fash ioned Polyglot bibles , which are quite rare now. On its ily-lonf is written in lead pencil : "John 13. Somplo , Pitts burg , December , 1844. " The name is re peated on the next page. The three clergymen , being now to Pittsburg , did not recognize this particular name , al though they know there were several families of the Somples in this city. Frank Somplo , who attends to the ad ministration of the estate of the Into William Thaw , is a son of the gentle man alluded to , and it reporter carried the bible to his ollico on. Fourth avenue yesterday. As soon as it was shown him no recognized it. "For years it lay in oui-ftunily pew at. Iho Third Presby terian church , " ho said. "It wns given father by n gentleman who became a missionary among- the Choctaw Indians. Ho prized it highly , as wo used it every Sabbath at church. When I was n.boy I used to rend the text out of this 'same book In church. Well do I remember it. " Mr. Somplo is now a gray-haired gen tleman. Ilia father died in 187T. The hiblo was missed a good many years ngo , but as It was simply used for church pur poses no search was mudo for it. "But your father carried it abroad with him , suggested the reporter. "No , ho never went abroad , " replied the gentleman. "I have not the remot est idea how the blbjo turned up 8,000 miles away from Pittsburg. I can form no conception how It got that far nway. Certain ft is , though , I am glad to got it back again. It recalls very vividly my father , und my own boyhood days.

Aughe , who discovered that some body wns pulling his pantaloons from be neath his pillow. Mr. Augho's bed was close to the door und the latter was open. Ho jumped out to Investigate and the thief dealt him a stinging blow that knocked him back on tbo bed. The sneak then ran to the room of Jim Dally nnd the two made off hurriedly together toward the depot. Daily is the athletic tough who was arrested last mcht for robbing J.

How n Man Escaped Lynching mill His Imiocccnco'HH tiatabliHbcd , A group of old timers were talking about the weather , nnd the conversation carried them back to the great storms of years ngo. "Tho queerest combination I over know , " said the judge reflectively , "was a blizzard , death , suspected murder and an attempted lynching that only mis carried because , the subject missed a train. "Tho winter of 1879-80 , as you all recol lect , was a very severe ono , and many persons living on the prairie were frozen to death. Homo time before a man named Crnndnll had moved from Morris to a farm in southeastern Dakota. Ono day a big storm came up , and Mrs. Crnndnll , who happened to bo on the plain with her youngest child , was caught in the blizzard and both frozen to death. Mrs. Crandnll's parents lived In Morris , nnd when the sail news of her death came her father blurted to Dakota to bring back the remains of his daugh ter and grandchild. Crandall nnd his wife hud not got along very well to gether , and in some way rumors of foul play crept out. "Tho next afternoon the bereaved father arrived in Morris with Ills dead. The bodies were frozen solid , and ar rangements were made to thaw thorn out. When this was done Mrw. Cran- dall's body was examined. A deep wound in her bide was found. It didn't take Iho people of Morris long to make up their minds that murder Imd boon committed. Crandall , it was thought , had arrived that night with his surviv ing child and gone to the house of his mother , who lived near the village1. A lynching party was organized In short order and armed with ropes , etc. The lioXiKQ was visited and thoroughly fcunrched , but Grandall was not to bu found. Ills mother insisted that ho had not arrived , but she was not bolloved. Finally the crowd gave up the search and went homo difgubtcd. "Now comes the strange part of the story , The next morning the body of Mrs. Crandall had been entirely thawed out , and another examination was made , There wns no sign of the broad gush that hot-rilled the people the night bo foro. There were no brul&cs , no signs of fonl play. There's a mystery for youl But It developed nftor a while that the flesh Imd folded over nnd frozen to- pother , giving the uxnct appearance of a long und luu-rlblo push. Whoa the body thawed out the ' | jash' disappeared. I toll you , the would-bo lyncliors of the nlglit before felt pretty cheap. In nn hour or two Onmlnll himself arrived in town on the moriilnir train. IIo luul missed the train the nl ht boforo. That was nil that saved him from a lynching. Of couwu ho could not help hearing about what had been going on ; what ho said or thought 1 novel- know , but you can j 1002. Sixteenth and Pnrnnm streets Is the now Hook Island ticket ollico.

Uuclmnun found resid ing In the southwest part of town , Mr. redorick L-irkeo and learned that ho had formerly traveled with Ole Hull lu Franco. The Crete dotto inun on being In formed of the fact immediately inter viewed the old gentleman and found him to bo about seventy years of ago , quite well preserved. Ho informs us that ho wns for Ilvo years in an army baud in Coponhiigoti , and that during this thno Ole Uull came to Copenhagen and ton musicians including Mr. Lurkeo joined him and mndo n tour of Gerintinv , Italy , and England Mr. L. talcing the llrst clarinet. They started out about 1811 nnd Mr. Larkeo tolls many anecdotes of interest concerning the trip , among which is the following : "Tho orchestra always played a selection or two previous to the appearance - pearanco of Ole Hull as the multonco was assembling aftot- which the great violinist appeared and porformou his wonderful featof playing a pleco on the four strings at once , or in other words , soprano , alto , tenor and base on the sin gle instrument. On ono occasion in an Italian city Ole Bull appeared and performed the feat and a young man about twontv-four years of ago came forward and said that ho could do the same thing , and verified his statement. This piqued the virtuoso , and ho forthwith drew a pon-knifo from his pocket and cut all but the G string and immediately commenced a dazzling variation of wonderful dillloulty , and during the excitement which followed the young man skulked from the stage. " Mr. Larkeo 1ms nlso heard that most wonderful of all violinists , Paganini who , it will bo remembered , was charged with murder , and during his long Im prisonment had nothing but his voice to comfort him. The strings broke ono by ono until only the largest or G string- remained , but by perseverance lie learned to play almost any composi tion for the violin on the one string ) , nnd pleasantly admits that although Ole Bull was a wonderful man. and for the miinlulng of birds , falling of water or anything of the de scriptive order , porhapj had no equal , yet Paginlni was a much more thorough musician and hnd much moro legitimate execution. Mr. Jiiu-keo came to Crete last November from Dakota and expects to mtiko it his home. IIo lias paid very little attention to music for a number of years on account of the effects of a felon on the indoxt linger of the right baud , which made clarinet playing impossible , but took up the violin and can play it with much foreo yet , notwithstanding the rheumatism. Ho 1ms a fine instru ment about three hundred years old and values it very highly. Ho has boon n farmer since coming to America.

How n Poor IjittlcOuiiiiia Was Manlcil With n I'ollccinnu'N Club. With all these hydrophobia patients coming to New York to bo treated the popular mind has been alarmed and ox- eited over dojrs of all sorts and of all conditions of bad temper und imitation. So yesterday , when a pot dog at No. 343 West Fifty-ninth street began to foam tit tlio mouth and bark and snap , tlio two women in the house tied him with a piece of twine to u , wnshtub and yelled out of the window for the polico. Sergeant Chapman of the Forty-sev enth street station , happoncd to be passing ingat the time , and , undaunted by the conflicting cries of "Murdorl" and "Mud dogl" ran into the house and up the stairs. IIo found the two women in two corners , and the dog greatly excited and endeavoring to pull the wash tub over in its efforts to ( jot frco. Sergeant Chapman is not only a bravo man , according to the Evening Sun , but lie is a thoughtful man , nnd though ho could have shot the dog , if the dog would have hold still long enough , or clubbed Its brains out , ho refrained bo- cnuso ho did not want to scatter blood and portions of dead dog over tlio apart ment. So ho told the frightened owners of the flat to wait , and wont for a bottle of chloroform , which ho obtained tit the drug store on the corner. IIo dosed a sponge with this and approached preached the dojj cautiously with the sponge held out invitingly before him. "Hero , doggie ; good doggie , " ho said In a conciliatory tono. The dog sniffed at the chloroform , and seemed to llko it immensely. Then the sergeant shoved it closer , but this an gered the dog , who barked louder and moro violently than over , and finally with ono superior oljort broke the string which hold it and dived tit the obnoxious sponge with its mouth open to receive it. The sergeant isti largo man , but lie can move quickly on occasion and ho moved very quickly yesterday. IIo reached the sofa with ono bound and , drawing his club , prepared to soil his life dearly. If ho wont to Paris ho wanted to see other things there than M. Pasteur's laboratory. Tlio two wom en juinnod upon two chairs and wrapped their skirts around their ankles and screamed , while the dog raced nround and around the room and yelped und barked In a frenzy of anger and excite ment. It was getting very feverish , indeed , when Sergeant Chapman reached down and hit a clip at the dog's head with his club. The dog stopped and offered battle - tlo and got a blow on the side of the jaw that eiloncod it and two moro on the head that killed It. Then the sergeant washed his club in the tub of water and the two women eamo down from their perches and paid n boy 10 cents to bury the dog in u vacant lot.

Exorcise , with both man and women , is a question of intelligence a consid eration of kind nnd quality , rather than of degree , says a writer In Hnvpor's Bo znr. The subject has for women po ciillnr embarrassments and limitation ; ? , particularly in the close house-bound life of the city , In the country there are the natural morning duticp , with open windows and Hooding sunlight ; the walk to the depot or for the mull , qutot and calming ; the long piazzas.

While many women still follow tha traditions of dolll-acy and helplessness that have for so many yours enshrined and enfeebled their sex , yet they have como , nil the sumo , to under stand , through the olTortn of many ot their \vhoinustpoi-forcobostrong , that a poor physique puts a woman tit odds , and at the mercy of others when the stress of llfo comes.
