NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS First Baptist Church Mcmbara Hnvo An other Lively Discussion. HOT SHOT GIVEN AND RECEIVED I'uMnr Hull Ktplnlncit III * vilp | of the Coin Inn l.rngtliyAililiPiifi , Iltilat tlio Con clusion of tlio Uoli.ite Ho Voted Out. It rained last night , porslitontly nnd btoad- lly , but the cold w.ito. did not deter the members of the First BnplUt church from coming out and Joining oagcrly In the fray that ta being w.iged botwoou the two deadly factions In the church , ono of which is tryIng - Ing to dismiss the pastor , Rov. L * . A. Hall , nnd the other to retain und sustain him. They mot last night for the purpose of fight ing It out to a llnlsh. The weapons were tongues and ballots. There were plenty of both and they were mod. All the members were present , with enough outsiders to oc cupy all the room loft. By agreement Mr. A. W. Clark of Omaha was selected as a moderator or chairman. Ho was an hour late In getting Into town , and it was 8:1)0 : before ho called thu mooting to order. When ho did so ho briefly stated tbo case and road a prepared program which ho found on the pulpit. Ho made -a concil iatory talk , advising all members to think nnd pray earnestly before they took nny ac tion in the mooting. Before the trouble com mented ouo member from each faction deliv ered a uraycr anilnikod for ospcolnl blosslugs on his sldo. The factions were arranged with the most pronounced opponents of each party occupying sections as far removed as possible from each ohor nnd the more neu ral ones tilling the center section. Ono of .ho members la his preliminary skirmish or prayer suggested to the Lord that there was such u thlug as strixlng hands In wickedness and Intimated that the other sldo were ocucd iu such an ombraco. IH'lmto U'ns Mmltcd. By agreement the debate was limited to a statement from oacb side , the pastor to have tbo opcnlnc and closlntr speech and to repre sent his side unless some member friendly to him cboso to take up part of his tlino. At the conclusion of this the vote was to bo taken. W. B. Sbllllngton and William Blood were appointed tellers , and before the speeches commenced printed slips bearing the ques tion "Shall the present uastoral relations bo continued ! " were scattered through the con vocation. Hov. Mr. Hall commcncod tbo business by an aasy conversational talk , and when ho was Just beginning to get Interested in the subject of tbo church dissensions ho was called to order by ono of the members , who labored under the misapprehension that ho only had five minutes to make the opening speech. Ho appealed to the congregation to decide whether this wai to be a business mooting of earnest mon and women or a 11 1- tlo countr.r school debating society. The congregation dco tied that it was n red hot business moating , and ho was given leave to use as much tlino as no required , ana for the next thirty minutes ho pouted volleys Into the ranks of the onotny that tnudo thorn win co. His words were so hot that they smoKod. The church , hn said , had not followed htm ilvo minutes since ho became its pastor ; ho hadn't had tbo united help of the members for ono second. Ho wanted to know if the opposition thought it woulu help the church to dismiss him. Thou ho reminded thorn what they had done ? . Out of over $1,900 the opposing faction represented Just $178. Then ho culled their attention to the fact that they had called him to tbo church unanimously. "If God called mo with your unanlraoos con sent and approbation you had better bo care ful what you do ; that is , if yoo think you bavo any acquaintance with God. I see mem bers hero tonight whose volco I have never board in prayer. Isn't that singular ) The trouble Is , you never pray. It isn't a change of minister you want , bulachangoof hoart. " Teen ho wont ever all the old trouble , the trouble the church had had with other pas tors. "You bald God called Uav. Mr. Thick- stun , but you soon thought God wus mis taken , and after ho and his noble \vito bad built this splendid church you tbrow him out , and that man and his broken wlfo are suffering in this cilv today from the hard ships they endured. You tire equally unani mous in your belief that God had called Huv. Mr. Lemon , but it wasn't lone until you found that God had made another big blunder and you bounced him Lemen. not God , and today ho Is prosperous and doing a great work In your mldit in spite of your malice. I have done the best I could , and proacbod to you tno host .sermons I could whllo trying to hold you off. " Thought It Wan Chronic. Ho then read a number of letters bearing on tbo subject from friends and enemies , ono of a scurlllous character from a member who signed himself "Tom Egglostono , " advising the pastor to skip out and co to buying bay for a living. Ho also road from the church records , sbov\ing that this dissatisfaction with the pastor was chronic. Hb characterized It ns a disease in the church , \\hicti had broken out at regular Intervals for the past ten or tlf torn years. It was a bad thing , bethought , to keep pulling up a tree every few mouths to see what tbo roots wore doing. Tbo pastor then took bis seat and Mr. Evans , ono of tliu opposing members , pre sented the sldo of tbo opposition. Ho ad mitted that they bud not supported the pus- tor , and asked , "How could wo ? " with a harsh Inlloctlon. Ho said the record of the pastor was bad , vary bad , and covered wrcciied churches from Gloucester , Mass. , to Mason City , Iu. Ho said ho was a disturber and denouncer of mom- bora. A man's record ought not to count against him if ho has changed it , but Hall has not changed It sluco coming here. Ho had made false roprosentatlous llttlo short of falsehoods. The church didn't know his record wbcn bo came here , out they soon found It out and bad been trying , for the saving of the church , to got him to quietiy lor.vo. This formed about the bulk of the charges and Mr. Hall made a somewhat sensational rejoinder. Ho ala be was sur prised. Ho expected to be charged with murder or at least with having three or foui wives , like some of the deacon i of the church. This ended the speechmaklng. ana tbo last part of tbo availing was occupied in ballot ing and disputing. The principal tbomo ol discussion was as to whether the four mem- burs who were excluded recently and then taken back Into the church three days later by a vote ot the faction which opposed Hall , should bo allowed to voto. A standing vote was taken , and the result of It was that the four members wore allowed to vote , the majority being twenty in their favor. The result of tbo final vote was that the pastoral relations were declared severed by a vote ol 75 to 57. The G , M. Doilgo camp , Sons of Vet- onuiH , will give a ball in G , A.

Democratic enthusiasm rose to a great holpht everywhere , nnd In n number of the words &ome of the voters narrowly escaped phys ical violence ut the hands of their oppouoi'ts. From outside appearances A. U. Graham scorns to have captured a largo sbnro of the delegations , and unless something Is done to sldotracK his followers before tomorrow afternoon ho may pretty safjly bo counted on to como In at the death.

A march was stolen on Mac rae's supporters hero , by a motion that the 'clcgates ba olccted by acclamation and that 10 man should bo allowed to pltica lu nom- nation moro than ono Individual. As a gon- ral thing tbo first man nominated was loctod , and although the followers ot Macao - ao wore considerably in the loai * the lack of rganlzatlon was easily taken advantage of ly the opponents of Macruo , who ran in a elogation which is claimed to bo for Gra- am oy a majority of 5 to 3.

It was finally decided .gainst . thorn , and the count was made bv , ho tellers , W. D. Hardin and W. C. Morris. VI the bottom of tbo hat was found eight Ickcts , neatly packed together , which Har- Hn claimed had evidently bceu put there by ome member of the Wadsworth faction. Ho omanded that they be thrown out bodily. A bird man who bad assisted the tellers In re- iclvlnc the ballots claimed that ho had felt f every ticket as it was passed in , and that .ho hat could not possibly have been stuffed. VIorrls accordingly protested against the ballots being thrown .out. At this Juncture the Ilvo colored men who ad not been allowed to vote came to the ur.'aco once moro and demanded tnat thev 10 allowed to exercise tholr rights as Amorl- an citizens. A naif hour was spent in dis- lussmg this point , and bedlam reigned su premo. At lost it was decided to leave the matter to M.
