* > Gft of the most desirable members of tie
chain gang , and ono of the most undesirable-
members of any community , moVed out of
the city Saturday , Ho moved In haste ,
though ho had shackles upon his feet. The
gang was cleaning the street near the Ma
sonic tcrnplo , and Ofllcor Wyatt , who was in
charge of the prisoners , had lib attention devoted -
voted by a team which was in the way of the
men , and the driver of which ho requested oo
move. Ono of the prisoners , Ed Mills , alias ,
Williams , sneaked Into the alloy ami hobbled
to the rear of the building. Onicer Wyatt
inarched the gutirf back to the Jail for safe
keeping while ho with others started after
Mills , It being thought ho could not travel
fast enough to got fur away , owing
to his shaoklc.s. Mills was moro nim
ble than they thought. Ho climbed the
steep bluff , buck of the Masonic temple , like
n cat , and soon was out of sight. It wus
nftorwftrds learned that ho Jumped Into isn
buggy on BlutI street and was driven away
by sonio ono , supposed to bo n confederate.
The plan of escape had probably been
arranged by Mills while in Jail , ho securing
the assistance of some prisoner whoso tlmo
was about out. The buggy was probably
driven to n convenient spot on Bluff street
and when a prearranged signal was given ,
Mills made his break for liberty. "is.

The announcement of the death of Alder
man Lacy caused profound sorrow yesterday ,
and It could scarcely bo credited. Hundreds
of people vliltcd the residence on Park nvo-
nuo during the day and gazed on the familiar
face.
In the flro department especially was the
news received with sorrow. Alderman Laoy
was the friend of ' every fireman , and each
man cherished the warmest affection for him.
The first thing done In the morning at all the
hose houses was .to take steps to show the
world the appreciation the members of the
department huvo of the labors of tliclr dead
chief. Kaclr bouse was draped with long
streamers of black. A. flag was run up on
the staff at No. 3 oordorod with n deep mar
gin of blnek , and suspended at half mast , and
a mass of black wus wound around the big
bell In the tower.
Fellow members of the council met and
discussed the sudden death sauly. Mayor
Macruo Issued a cull for n special meeting of
the council at 10 o'clock this morning for the
purpose of taking proper action and deter
mine the ofllclul part to bo taken during the
funeral. The arrangements for the funeral
have not been completed , but It will occur
tomorrow afternoon. The members of the
flro diinarlment will turn out and march with
all their apparatus that can bo spared , Mr ,
Lacy was chief of the department for eight
years , and served five years hi the volunteer
department , making thirteen years of contin
uous service. The veteran firemen will hold
a meeting at No. a engine house nt 730 ; this
evening to make arrnnKOinents for the

Evil Only u IlaUof.
Judge Hanna of Salt Lake City delivered a
strong Christian science address to a g.ood
sized audlcnco that assembled In the Western
Iowa business college yesterday afternoon at
3 o'clock. Judge llannn was a former resi
dent of Council Bluffs , having bonil the Junior
partner in the law firm of Snpn , Lyman &
Hunna from 1809 to 1872. Ho has given the
suoject of Christian science nnd mental beal-
Ing a great deal of study and Is an enthusi
astic believer in It. When ho visited the city
on Saturday for the first tlmo in many years
ho was urged to deliver an address and con
sented. The fact was not nncounced very
generally or a much larger audlcuco would
have been present to hear him.
Ho read from manuscript In n very im
pressive manner and produced an argument
that was highly pleasing to the Christian
Scientists who hoard him. Ho sought to
show that ovll In the world , from whence
springs all the sin and misery of mankind ,
has no existence , mid was simply a misunder
standing of the laws of our natures , both
moral und physical , and. was contrary to the
will of the Creator , constituting in itself the
great sin that called for , the presence of
Christ on earth to eradicate. The universal
principle that God has promulgated through
out all of his word and all of his works is
good. Evil Is not created nor reflected by
God. AH of God's creation is pood. If He
created nothing nut good , surely Ho cannot be
said to have created evil. If wo do say It ,
then wo must admit that peed reflects evil.
If the thing called ovll was not created by
God nor reflected by God , whence comes it !
Christian science makes the bold and start
ling assertion that evil is not hero. How
shall wo Indulge the paradox that ovll and
good are ono and the samel How can two
antagonistic principles exist In the same space
nt the same tlmo I Wo must glvo grace to
ono , and which shall It boi Christian science
maintains that there Is no ovll and that all is
good. Wo must look away from our spiritual
qualities aud endeavor to understand the
characteristics of good and ovll. Christ's
blind man was not alone blind. All others
like him were blind In n spiritual sense , and
His mission was to open their eyes tosplritual
truths. It was by a purely human process
that the error that brought evil Into the
world crept in. The whole teaching of the
gospul Is to turn men away from tbo evil , if
this Is so , the Greater through Christ is en
deavoring to repeal his laws and correct his
errors. How Inconsistent 1 Creating ovll to
counteract good ; telling men that if ho fall
Into the trap set for him ho will surely bo
dninnod , I think It time that men should
take the responsibility of their own sins In
stead of shouldering it all upon
God. Docs the murderer commit his
deed because God prompts him ) Does
the burglar break Into your house because
God told him tel God Is responsible for the
evil if Ho created it. In order to reconcile
the glaring Inconsistency men have been com
pelled to create a personal devil , who holds
the balance of power , whoso hoofs , horns aud
fiery tall are moro potent than the smiles of
God , Why don't men look Into themselves ]
There they will find him. The only devil Is
tnodovllof human thought , filled with tcr-
rornnd 1 Ignorant superstition. These were
the devils Christ exercised. Why should
God create evil to destroy His boautlful tem
ple ? God never created ovll. Mea conjured
it in ) from the denths of their own hearts.
God made only the law of good , and that
good is reflected in us Just In proportion , as
wo open our hearts for Its reception , and all
the Ills wo suffer spring from our refusal to
dose.

A copy of the San Francisco Examiner of a
recent date conveys the Intelligence that n
Council Bluffs boy has discovered a lo
curiosity near Fresno , Cal. The young in
is I. N. Barrett , half brother of C. W. Atwood -
wood , chief clerk In the Wubnsh ofllccs to this
city. Mr. Barrett is sending the winter
with friends in California and while building
u dam , exhumed a pctrlllod human body of
gigantic slzo aud wonderful preservation , In
Inx
a lengthy account of the discovery the Ex
aminer says :
"Thobedy lay on the ha d rock and was
covered with earth that had the appearance
of wash , parts of it being covered to the :
depth of twelve feot. The body was per
fectly straight , measuring nearly seven foot ,
and that of a man physically perfect.
' The face U clearly defined , nose , eyes and
forehead , us well us mouth and chin , being
in a perfectly natural shape ,
"Too neck Is loin ; and sits on broad , mus ;
cular shoulders. The arms are long sid
shapely , the left being folded high on the
breast , the hand resting near the thront ,
whllo the right comes diagonally across the
body and rests on the stomach , whlcii Is
deeply sunken , showing that Urn viscera
hud decayed before potrlncntlon began.
"Tho hair Is gone , but the cars are clearly
outlined. The hands ere perfect , tbo nails
and wrinkles In the skin of the lingers being
M natural as in life- and beyond the power of
J the sculptor to produce , and the same may bo
said of the feet and the tendons , showing the
contraction familiar to physicians In deaths
fr strychnine or tetanus. The body weighs
at six hundred pounds.
"In removing It to the city the left leg w.\s
broken off near the knee and the right nt the
ankles and across the Instep. At the frac
tures the process of petrifaction Is clearly
discernible , the bones bclni ? easily trnceablo.
"Tho measurements are as follows !
Length , 0 feet 10 Inches ; across shoulders ,
10K Inches : nboutchost , 48f } inches ; arms ,
shoulder point to elbdw , 16 < Y inches ; elbow
to wrist , 12H inches ; wrist to tlp of lltiRors ,
Oj inches ; second finger , 5 Inches ! about the
neck , 155f Inches' head , about the forehead ,
2 > < Inches : leg , hip Joint to heel ; 41tf
Inches ; hlptoknco , It ) Inches : knee to heel ,
22k inches ; thigh , 10 { Inches : and calf , 14 #
Inches ; length of foot is lljf inches , and 4
inches ncrots the ball of the foot.
"Cantua canyon Is dry most of the year ,
being wet only Inlnter , * and the indica
tions are that the body had been burled for
apes , the creek slowly covering htm up and
the action of alkali causing preservation aud
subsequent pctrlflcation.
"In the same canyon is-n petrified forest ,
ono tree being ftO feet long and 4 feet through ,
and many 24 feet long and under. Recently
a petrified toad was also found there , but tnis
Is the first body.
"It Is supposed to bo the remains of an In
dian or an early Spanish explorer. The sec
tion is ono of the roughest und most inaccess
ible in the country.
"A glance at the body , ns well as the his
tory of the discoverers , precludes the Idea of
a fraud , such ns the Solid Muldoon giant
fraud In Colorado. The curiosity will proba
bly bo sent to the California Academy of
Sciences. "

The tilght of the Worlil.
The Fifth Avenue Methodist church Is ono
of the youngest In the city. The exterior of
the building has been admired by many who
have given it a passing glance , but a very
small proportion of the population of Council
liluffs has ever boon within It. These who
have not visited this church would bo agree
ably surprised to flniTlton a Sabbath morning
such a comfortable and attractive
place of worship. Whllo there Is yet need of
further work on the building , especially in
Interior decorations , yet it Is very pleasantly
arranged. The congregation yesterday morn
ing numbered ono hundred or moro. A cnorus
choir with u largo cabinet organ led In the
singing of hymns. Rev. Mr. Brewer , a com
paratively now preacher In this citjf , is a
cloun-shaven. strong-faced man , with a face
In keeping with a well-rounded voice. In the
pulpit his earnestness , evident slncerelty nnd
his clearness of thought and diction holds the
attention of all , rather than any marked ele
gance or eloquence of discourse.
Vcstcrday morning's ' sermon was on the
words of Jesus : "I Am the Light of the
World. " The preacher's endeavor , well car
ried out , was to show that spiritual light , life
and Joy come through Christ. Many Moa-
slabs and /also Christs had arisen , and sonio
of them made fully as strong claims as did
the true Christ , but ho alone had uacn ublo to
vindicate his claims. The Christian religion ,
wherever it prevailed , brought light , life nnd
Joy , such as resulted from no other.
"it was a light that "llghteth every man
that comcth into the world. " Even the
heathen. In their darkness , caught some rays
of this light by the medium of conscience ,
and if they lived up to what little light they
thus got they were doubtless saved. The
speaker believed that thousands of heathen
wore saved yearly. Then why spend so much
money and strength In trying to enlighten
them I If so many wore saved who had but a
feeble light , how many moro could bo saved
If they hud the full light } This was his an
swer.
It was then shown that from Christ alone
was received the light revealing the common
fatherhood of God , and consequently the
brotherhood of all men. Even the pious
Jews looked upon the Gentiles as moro dogs ,
but the light of Christ showed all to be
brothers , the black man of Africa , the China
man with his cue , the Indian all brothers.
Christ was the light which had revealed
also the loyo of God , and His mode of gov
ernment by a scepter , not of Iron , but of
righteousness. Ho had thrown light upon
tbo future life also , revealing the immortal
ity of the soul.
Christ had given what the wisest of mca
could not give a perfect code of morality.
Ho had given precepts for man's guidance ,
and had Himself been an example of perfect ,
living. It was easier to preach than to prac
tice , but hero was the perfect manpracticing
the precepts ho taught.
The speaker's closing appeal was for his
hearers to gjfca themselves where they could
get the fulrr.iys of this light-giving , life-giv
ing , Joy-giving sun. The good housewife , in
this winter season , placed her plants in the
south windows that they might catch the sun
light and get from'it the light nnd life they
needed. The heart of man should not be kept >
ill any curtained room , with the sunlight of >
God's love shut out , but should bo where It
could- catch all the light ana life possible
from the great sun of righteousness , which
was shining over and freely for all men.

, A Move to n'rltiK the > Kxprcss Com-
pnnicH Under the Interstate Law ,
WASIIIXOIOX , Dec. 23. [ Special to TUB
BEE. ] The fact that the Fifty-second COD-
grcss will bo crow Jed with men who ewe
their election to the farmers' nil I mice move
ment is likely to lead to several very Import
ant amendments to the Interstate commerce
low. ,
Up to the preset } ! tlmo the express com
panies have not been brought within the pro
visions of this net , owing to the construction
of , the seine by the board of Interstate com
merce commissioners , nnd the result is that
the long and short haul clause of the Inter-
state commerce net has no terrors for the ex-
press companies. * Durlng the past week ,
when so mnny members hnvo been compelled
to remember friends with Christmas pres
ents sent by express , the discrimination
against the small towns by tbo express com
panies has been forcibly brought to the nttcn-
tion of the legislators. Of course there are a
great many among the moro Influential of
these gentlemen who are never troubled
about express charges. Thov are well taken
care of In the way of franks by the corpora
tions , and conscqucatly are never called upon
to go into their pockets for tbo freight bills
on their packages , but thcro are others not
so fortunate , who found themselves qulto
heavily taxed when they went to send
their friends reminders of Christinas
time. Only the other day n. congress
man who has friends in lown went to send n
small package to a town through which only
ono rnilroad runs. He was charged 00 cents
for the carriage ofa three-pound box. An
hour or two Inter ho had occasion to send
another package weighing about half n pound
less to a point flfty miles beyond in the snmo
state , which point was reached by three dif
ferent lines of rnilroad and two express com
panies. Ho paid 50 cents for the second
package. This set him to thinking , nnd ho
has prepared a bill extending the provisions
of the Interstate commerce net over the
express companies. Hosala today that ho
had reconsidered his first determination of
introducing it at this time but that ho will dose
so HB bis first act In the next congress.
The town of Buoy In the state of Mary
land is about half way between Ualtlmoro
and Washington. The express company's
charge for ICiO pounds from Washington to
Buoy Is 50 cents. The same company will
take the same package twenty miles further
to Baltimore and deliver It to the addressed
for 25 cents. The consignee in Buoy , besides
being compelled to pay twice as much as the
Baltimore man , must go to the station to
carry his package away.
A page might bo filled with instances of
discrimination of this character , but these
two tire sufficient to show that thcro is a field
for Investigation by the Interstate commerce
commlslon.

stepped lu to shield Miss Orthoy from shame ,
that her mother bos decided to muko the
facts public. Two years ago , according teA
Mrs. Orthoy's ' story , Schnrmnmi asked Lizzie
to marry him , nnd yesterday was the day
fixed upon for the ceremony. About twelve
months ago Mr. Scharmann , it Is nllogod ,
took advantage of the girl's lovo.Vhon her
condition revealed the truth to her mother
Scharmnnn came , Mrs. Orthoy says , to her
and confessed the wrong ho bad done and de
clared that ho would marry the girl on Curlst-
mrs day. Miss Orthey besought him to
marry her before It was too late to save her
good namo. Ho promised to do so. but
gradually "ho ceased his visits and llnally
stopped thorn altogether.
In court Scharmann admitted thnt ho was
the father of the unborn child , but said thnt
ho had promised marrlajjo only when the girl
bogged him to save her from shatno and her
mother's wrath. Ho offered to pay tno ex
penses of her sickness nnd to care for tbo
future of the cnlld.
Justice GoetthiK's decision disnilssinp tbo
case was given about four weeks ago. Miss
Orthoy took to her bed as soon as she arrived
homo after leaving the court and did not
acaln leave It. A child , a boy , was born llf-
teen days ago , and Christmas the young
mother died. Early in the morning she sent
a letter to Scharmann , begging him to come
and bid her good byo. Ho either did not ro-
celvo It or did not care to reply. Certainly bo
never came , and the young fjlrl died without
seeing the author of her misery and with the
words , "Tell Julius I never loved anyone
else , " on her lips.
KIXO KAhAKAVA.
Ho la Said to Bo Anxious to Confer
wit'i American Politicians.
NKW YORK , Dec. 23. A letter dated De
cember 12 has been received by a gentleman
in this city from a friend in Honolulu in
which the following Interesting Information
is given concerning King Kalakaua nnd his
probable movements whllo In tbo- United
States :
It is still the intention to have the
king visit Washington. Tbo denial
of the minister of foreign affairs to
the effect that the king would not
visit the American capital was made to all ay
the fears of the natives. The scheme as it
stands at present Is : The king will go to tbo
stato.of Washington to benefit by its cllmato
and enjoy its scenlo wonders. Ho will be
come interested In the Canadian Poclllo rnil
road and will be Induced to travel over It. At
the other end of the line ho will bo mot by
old friends from Washington , who will pre
vail upon him to take a'ruh down to that city
and renew old acquaintances. Then the
American and Hawaiian .politicians will got
their work In , ,
This is the local programme up to date ,
but , of course , It is subject to entire altera
tion by the Hawaiian cabinet or the king's
whim. A great deal \vjill also depend upon
whether some ono or spuio government will
offer to pay his expenses ,
The majority of lending Hawallans enter
tain a thought born of the wish that ho may
not return alive , as hl health Is poor nnd
your winters are severe. i.Tho king Is unpop
ular , for notwithstanding his many social
qualities bo is a political rogue and is thn di
rect cause of nil the misfortune of poor little
Hawaii since ho became UIng , so If ho dies
while in the United States do not gush out
any elaborate sympathy. . for us , for you may
know that In the brcasLpf the majority of the
Hawallans the "Glorliilrj Excolsls" of his
requiem will bo felt with double meaning.
Under a now regime there will bo hopu for
Hawaii und Huwulluns.

Tlio Tomb of Alexander tlio Groat.
The announcement some Umoago that

cusBlon , says the Scientific American.
"I must contest ) , " Buys Dr. "Wiildstoin ,
"that at the timeBO atnrtlinp an an

to record ray conviction that

JAMGS GAGAVS OOl.il > MINI- } .
The Meteoric JCnrocr of n Tramp
J'rliiter in the Portico.
The town of Meadow Litko , Novnda
county , California , was nn enterprising
city of 15,000 inhabitants In the exciting
days of'-ID and'oO. It VMS surrounded
by some of the richest placer mliios In
California nnd there were those who got
the idea that the town was destined to
bo the metropolis ot the west , but the
mines were finally exhausted und the
fortune seekers drew away from the
spot.
James Gngan was the editor nnd pro
prietor of the Dally Ilornld. Ho was a
jolly Irish printer. Gigan had worked
Ills way through the printing establish
ments of the gulf const to California ,
and , getting the gold cra/.o , ho aban
doned typesetting for u tlmo and Bet out
for .Meadow Lake on foot.
Ho had a hard trip over the mountains ,
nnd when , at the end of four weeks , ho
walked to Meadow Lake , ho was n sorry-
looking' sight , wentlior-bcaten nnd
raggca , but not at nil down hearted , for
ho wus a typical tourist printer , and his
spirit was nl ways among the clouds.
Gngnii had money enough la his pocket
to enable him to purchase u mining out
fit at second-hand , and , friendless nnd
alone , ho sot oil for the diggings back of
the town. In n remote canyon , through
which run acsmtdl stream of water ,
Gngnn sinked oil a claim and sot to
work. Ho struck ' "color" nt the first
blow of the pick , mill : U the close of the
day ho had taken , out 83,600 worth of
gold dust , _
At the end of the fourth week ho was
an immensely wealthy man. With a
bather bolt full of shining gold , ho re
turned to Meadow Lake and made his
rich find known. In the gold-dust h o
had ample evidence that his story was
true , and ho found no trouble in dispos
ing of his claim at a 'price that ran his
wealth into the millions.
The population nt Meadow Lake had
now grown to 12,000 Inhabitants , and as
yet the field was open to newspaper en
terprise. Gngan was quick to see this
after ' ho was out of the mines , and ho
sot ' about establishing the Herald. In a
few weeks the building was ready for oc
cupancy , and Gngnn sot out for the east
for the purpose of purchasing a news
paper plant. It was nearly three months
before ho returned , but ho brought with
him a first-class outfit , includingu cylin
der press and a steam engine.
Jfcln duo tlmo the Herald was issuodand
It was a perfect newspaper typographi
cally , The business men ot the town
patronized it liberally , and every man
in the town subscribed for it. Single
copies sold at four bits , or 50 cents ouch ,
and the subscription price for a year
was $100. The circulation of the Herald
at ono time reached 8,000 , copies daily ,
butGagan was sinking money in the
venture very rapidly. To got printers
to come to that town and wqrk ho was
obliged to pay tliom $ i0 ! u day , and his
other employes were paid correspond
ingly high wages ,
Paper laid down in the Herald estab
lishment at that early day cost a great
deal , as it was bought in the east ,
shipped around the Horn nnd carried to
the town on pack mules. Gagan was
obliged to keep a train of twenty-five
mules , with half as many drivers , on
the road between Sun Francisco and
Meadow Lake wok In and week out.
Tills cost a good deal ot money.
Gngan was the leading man of the
town. If there was a dispute to bo sot-
tied , Gagan was the man to settle it.
The case was laid before him , ho took
it under advisement and reviewed the
case and announced his decision throuerh
the editorial columns of the Herald , If
there was a family In the town thnt
needed financial nlu an appeal was made
to Gagnn und the assistance asked for 1
was always granted.
If there was a murder , nnd. there were
many of thorn In these wild days ,
Gtigan was Invariably culled upon to
prouoh the funeral sermon. If there
wus a celebration , Gagan was always
the orator of the day. Gagan was a liberal -
oral liver , and when the mood came
over him , which was often , ho would
walk into a saloon , purchase the contents -
tents and invite a crowd lu from tlio
streets to help themselves.
Ho was n tall , slightly built , njrilo
man , and ho dressed lu the most fault
less stylo. Ills Imlr , aa black as night .tt ,
fell about his shoulders , mid his waxed ;
mubtucho und pointed Imperial gave
1him the appearance of a quack doctor
aof the present day. Ho wua gonoroua to
a fuult , nnd ono tlrne , when a Btnall pox
opldomlu struck the town , Gupaii bought
na building : , turned it into u hoapllnl ,
hired nurses. bought mcdlcino
and paid the bills out of his own pocket ,
Uis good luck got the best of his BOIIBOJ ,
and at the end of three years Gagan
found the end of his purse strings and
the Herald ( suspended ,
By that tlmo the placers were nearly
exhausted and hut afow hundred people
remained in the town , The last issue of
the Herald came out on the morning ofof
July 3 , 1850. The column rules were
turned und the mpor wan heavily draped (
in mourning , under the unnouncomont ,
nat the hund of tlio editorial column , that
thnt would ho the lust isfcuo of tlio Hor-
aid wore the following scriptural quota-
ntions :
"As for man , Ills days are as grans ; us a
flower of the field so ho UourUhoth.
1"For the wind passoth over It , nnd It
is gouo ; und the place tlioroof bhall
know it no more. "
Two days lutor the romnindor of f
Meadow Luke's population , with Gugan
at their head , loft the town and wlion
ntho Sacramento valley was reached the
members of the pnrty separated nnd
went to the various mining camps. [ )
Ongnn went ( o Sim Francisco nnd go *

at his triulo in tno various printing
ofllcos on th court until 1877vhoii ' o

street comers in Meadow Luke in the
evening "and thro wing small e > cke of

over by the voting urchins of the town.
On ono occasion , tne Fourth of July , ho
printed n special edition of the Hcnrld
nnd paved every street In Meadow Lnko
with them. No tentna were allowed on
the streets that dny.
The Herald plant WIIB never removed
from Meadow Lake and today the press

stand in the Herald olllco just as they
were loft nearly forty years ago.
