More ou the Motor Case.
CofNCit. BLUFFS , la , Feb. 12. ( To the
Editor of TUB BEE ] Some facts are now-
made ver.v public that Mayor Lawrence and
the cit } council have all along well known.
The course that should be pursued by the
citj council is very clear to people who do
not travel upon motor rallwaj passes
December 20 , Is'Jl the city brought suit
against the motor company claiming more
thaa fa.OOO. Above fMXH ) of this was for ail
ing ditches made bj the motor company on
Avenue A. That these holes were dug is de
nied b > no one Section 'J of the ordinance
of October 21' . ls > 0. conferring the franchise
upon the motor company , obligated the com
pany "to raise said streets , whether paved
or not , to as good condition as before the
l\inLT down of its tracks thereon. ' '
What defense could there be to this ac
tion1" the ordinary citizen would Inquire
Again , another portion of the citj's claim
was for paving torn uj | on Broadwaj by the
company , which the city was compelled at
its own expense to replace , the companj re
fusing to replace it. Under the ordinance ,
the rallwaj company must restore that
street to as peed condition as before the lay-
lug down of its tracks
What could the motor company saj to that
claim of the eltv '
Saturdaj they tinallj told us the real rea
son in an auiwer Hied after all these jears
Mr George F Wright , the secietarj of the
compauj , vv ho sw ears that he know s all about
the facts , verities the answer of the com
pany , declaring that the motor companj
never built anj of these tracks upon which
the motor line operates These lines were
built bj the street railway companj chartered
August 11. IMjs , this pleading sa.vs. At that
time paviug and grading were unknown ID
this citj The ordinance granting its fran

The cit > and citizens of Council Bluff <

Th final sermon In the series of discourses
nt on the subject of retribution was preached
t th * First Conr < < iUlonnI church jester-
day morning bv Hev Dr Durjrea , the pastor ,
whf seltfcted for his theme the parable of
the rich man and I iunis. A large congre
gation attended the meeting and with
marked attention listened to the words of
the eminent gentleman.
Parables , he declared , were intended to
illustrate the truth , although thej ml-rht be
pure fiction or thej might be llctlon founded
upon facts. When Jesus came ujwn the
earth he found the people like little children ,
and to teach them he had to do so In a simple
waj' thai they might understand the ideas
of truth.
Upon the subject of monev and wealth , the
spenker said there was too much selrlshness
People were not wlso In the use of their
moncj.andin uianv respects they were line
the foolish child at the fountain with the
seive , w ho dipped the water and then let It
all run through If men puisuecl such a
course , when the end came thej would have
nothing but an emptv seive and a Jojless
soul. The gold could not be carried to the
grave , and the owner of It should use it so
that when he pass nlawav his deeds would
remain as a monument of his faithfulness
Not one of the prophets ever attempted to
lift the veil from the future , not one of them
ever attempted to prevent the suffering of a
human soul , but when Jesus came upon the
earth He taught the doctrine of the future.
He taught as He believed , gathering up and
residing between the lines Prior to that
time there had not been such holiness of
character There had been no rev elation of
heaven , though jHwnle held ceitaia ideas
whloh came down to the times pf tha
Hebrews Even jp to the time of Aristotle
thej thouirht that the earth was tlat and
the wicked went to a place below the eartn
Little bv little the Hebrews gathered the
ideas of tUhteousness and dwelt ujion the
puiiilcntlou from evil , though thej main
tained that the Gentiles would be shut out
Hie sentiment had been expressed that to
do right meant prosperity , but the condition
of Job was a puuler to the followers of that
docttinc An idea had prevailed that sheol
or hades was sop irated from the abode of
the Just , and that to pass from one place to
the other meant the scaling of the wall , that
the wicked went direct to hades , w litre they
remained until puritied Then the parable
taught that when Dives died he was taken
into Abraham's bosom , and that the rich
man had a funeral Possibly this was so
for tne reason that the poor man did not
have the uionej to paj the funeral expenses
When the rich man saw L-uarus in Abra
ham's bosom he cried out. asking Laarus to
dip his ringer in water and give it that he
might cool his tongue From this the
divine drew a picture , showing that heaven
was not for the rich alone , but that it might
be shared with the poor.
The desire of most men was to chase the
almiphtj dollar Thej went west for that
especial purpose , and when thej- succeeded
in getting it thej rode in Hne carriages and
lived in tine houses , giving icceptions and
entertaining but main of them were like
the foolNh child with the emptj seive.
Thej had accumulated wealth , but thej
would be fotinu gome awaj empt.v handed ,
hunting for a friend to help save them , as it
was plain that man could not serve Ciod and

vv hen she put on her stoc king there s some
thing in it ' He alwa\s used homeljex -
pre-sions He punctured all bombast by his
common sense aud foresight.
Self-reliance , perfect and complete , was
akm to his common sense. When cho > en
president it was thought he would be en-
tirelj at the metvj of his cabinet , but the
influence of the Illinois lawjer was always
felt It has been asserted that Lincoln's
annotations in Seward's letter to England
saved this countrj from war with her and
at a time when the United States was not
in condition to do battle He never had a

kept his part ; , at his back.

never spoke a wold. People came to give
him advice and when thej' were throueh he
used to sa > he knew more about what they
had discussed than thev did themselves , but
his remarks weie not prompted bj a spirit

Lincoln , at the head ' 6f his compauj . came

is dismissed for two minutes , to form again
on the other side of that pass. ' He over
came difficulties in a plain , common-sense
waj .
With him there was alwajs a ereat c'har-
itv. He was disposed Jo be lenient. There
was a bond of human sympathj' that linked
him to his fellowman A northerner , whose
southern tendencies and feelings had caused
his anest and a decree of banishment , was
brought to him. in accordance with the sen
tence imposed , for designation as to the
point of banishment 'Send him to the eon-
federacj , ' was Lincoln's senteucoand keep
him there. '
"His indiscriminate pardons were the
source of much friction and unpleasant criti
cism. General Butler wrote 'You are break
ing down the discipline of the arnij' ' One
daj- the president received a letter from
General Butler urging him against par
doning a certain soldier The soldier's
mother was with Lincoln pleading for her
boj'sllfe He studied a moment and lookIng -
Ing up he said 'Butler , or no Butler. I'll pir-
don him ' But he was not a man easily
taken in his sjinpathies. A woman was
pleading for a soldier in whoai she had an
interest , but her eloquence outdid itself He
sent her to Stanton with a note which said
This woman Is smarter than she looks
"Lincoln alwaj's liked Grant 'Grant , *
said Lincoln , 'never found fault with me'
He felt that a great burden had been taken
off his shoulders when he gave Grant com
mand of the Army of the Potomac Other
generals Lincoln us"d to ssy , after appoint
ment would alwajs want some petty things
and would tell what might have been done
had they been supplied. He waited for
Grant to make similar requisitions , but none
ever came.

"Abraham Lincoln combined melancholv
and humor There was a certain tin e o {
sadness in his nature. Some pebple think it
a sin to smile and a bigger one to laugh The
Auslo-Saxon Is bj nature a morose animal.
Tind Lincoln was like his fellow men He
combined the two. At one time he medi
tated suicide shortlj after the death of his
first love and It was found necessarjto
take away his pocket-knife before his mar
ri < ige.
"His domestic life was not happy He was
frequentlj found at his oftice before G in the
morning. At the noon hour he would slip
quictlj- down and eat a lunch of crackers and
cheese , and the future president used to slip
1 into his home by a side door at night IB
tke trips around the circuit the lawjers
would alwajs trjto arrange things so as
to get home over Sundaj He didn't.
"His is the most characteristic if not the
greatest figure in American bistorj. If a
painter was asked to paint an Ideil Ameri

Bronchitis
"When I was a bovI had a bronchial
trouble of such a persistent and stub
born character , that the doctor pro
nounced it incurable with ordinary
remedies , but recommended rr.e to trj-
Ayer'a Cherry Pectoral. I d d so , and
one bottle cured me. For the last fifteen
years , I have used this preparation with
good effect whenever I take a bad cold ,
and I know of numbers of people who
keep it in the house all the time , not
considering it safe to be without it. "

La Grippe
"Last spring I was taken down with
la grippe At times I v\as completely
prostrated , and so difficult was my

no sooner had I began taking it than
relief followed I could not believe that
the effect would IK o rapid and the
