NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Deal for tbo Furclituo of a Largo Tract of
the Mynstor Property Tinder Way ,
OPTION RUNNING THREE MONTHS TAKEN
OnCiShrewd Speculator lint Srcnreil Control
of Something Sorcrnl Seem to AVnnc
Tulle with the Owner Con
cerning the Matter.
In connection with the recent rumors about
an Impending real estate boom In the north
western part of the city It can be positively
stated that negotiations are now pending with
reference to the Bale of 120 acres ot the Myn-
ster property , situated just north of the city
In the vicinity of Mynstcr springs. Not many
days ago a gentleman called upon W. A.
Mynster , the owner , and secured an option at
the prlco of $40.000. Shortly after another
party called on Mynster nnd made him a bet
ter offer than that , but was met \\lth the re
ply that It was tied up by the option until
January 1 , so that further negotiations were
broken off. Mr. Mynstor was seen by a Bee
reporter , and In reply to questions , said :
"Although the second man's talk was cut
off somewhat short by my telling him that
the property was now out of reach , I am
pretty well satisfied that I could have gotten
perhaps J20 per acre In advance ot the price
offered ma by the first prospective buyer.
Who arc the men that are after It ? Well ,
thcro are some things that a man Is not
supposed to tell , and that Is one of them. I
can say this much , however , that I am as
sure of selling that 120 acre strip before Jan
uary 1 , 'as I am that I am sitting hero this
minute. "
Although Mr. Mynstcr would not tell who
wan trying to buy his land , some one elss
would. It Is learned from authority that Is
near enough to the Inside to bo unquestlon-
able that the option was secured by the
Union Land & Improvement company , and
that the sale will be effected by January 1 ,
1805 , and perhaps a long time before. It
Is understood that It Is being purchased for
the stock yards company that was recently
organized with'a capital stock of 12,600,009.
A rumor has also been going the rounds
that the Driving park has been sold to the
same company. Local members state that
J. J. Brown of Omaha Is the only stock
holder In the company who knows whether
the sal © has been made or not , but they
profess to doubt the truth of the report , from
the fact that the Omaha stockholdcdrs are
all opposed to selling the park tor less than
J2.000 an acre , and they do not bellevo that
any such offer has been made. Whether It
Is sold or not , however , there Is little doubt
that In the near future this tract , Ilka BO
many others of equal size In the north
western part of the city , will be the prop
erty of the Union Land and Improvement
company.
"You may depend upon It , " remarked one
of the local stockholders , "the Omaha fel
lows know what they are doing. Guy C.
Barton Is right on the Insldo of all the pro
jected Improvements In the northwest end ,
and If he hangs out for $2,000 , as he un
doubtedly does , It Is because ho has positive
assurance that In the near future the prop
erty will command that sort of a figure. "

Closing Festivities of the Reunion ot the
Army of the Tennessee.
The reunion of the Society of the Army of
the Tennessee closed yesterday , many of the
visitors leaving on the morning trains and
many more on the afternoon. This morning
will find probably every one of the 160 guests
gone homo , and the badgesi that stamped n
man as connected In some way with the
army or the committees on entertainment
will bo laid away as souvenirs ot a rneinor-
able reunion. Without exception the visitors
were enthusiastic In their praises of the way
In which they were treated while hero . Al-
though they are accustomed to the fat eland the
land , the-y did not hesitate to say that they
had never been treated more loyally. It
must be confessed that "syrhposlum , "
which was a prominent feature of the third
floor of the Grand , or the "symbqozelurn. " as
It was facetiously termed by an Irreverent
elevator boy , was one of the most highly ap-
preclatel things about the reunion. Thc'l-o
the men met for an hour's chat , nnd the
stories that were told within those four walls
would make a book that w'outij probably
double discount any book ever written fiom
point of Interest.
The last thing on the program was the re
ception to General T. G. Lawler gf Itockford I ,
111. , commander-ln-chlef ot tlje Grand Army
of the Republic. This took place In the
Grand Army hall yesterday afternoon , that
time having to bo taken Instead of the evenIng i-
Ing , as was at first Intended , so as not io
Interfere with Lawler's plans. About 4
o'clock the members of Abe Lincoln post
gathered at the Grand hotel and escorted Mr.
Lawler and all of the members of the Army r.r.
of the Tennessee who were still In the city ,
to the hall , where they were met by a large
assembly , among whom were a number it
members of the Woman's Relief corps. Col l-
onel L. C. Huff made n few remarks , after
whloh Commander Lawler was Introduced.
His words were full of enthusiasm for the
order of which ho Is the head. MUs Malic
Baker delivered n , declamation , after which
all the guests sat down to a repast that was
furnished by the ladles of the Relief corps.
This having been disposed of , ex-Department

.
Yesterday's session of the North Nebraska
conference was opened by devotional cxer-
olsos , led by Ilov. Lcedam ol Norfolk. Ilev.
Snldor ot Chapman was appointed statisti
cal secretary In place ot llrothcr Snavely
of North Dend. Rev. Gray was appointed
assistant statistical secretary.
The statistical secretory called the roll of
charges not having given In their report ,
The treasurer was not ready to report , BO
the matter wont over for the time being.
On motion of Hev. Marquotlo a committee
of five was. . appointed to set forth the needs
of the fields of this conference. Revs. Marquette -
quetto , Robinson , Wooley , dearhart nnd
Leedam were appointed ,
On motion of the secretary , Hovs. Pillsbury -
bury , Lcedam and Webster were appointed
as a commlttco to consider a communication
from Nebraska Central college.
Two members ot the committee on tracts
having failed to appear , Rev. Myers and
Rev. Fleharty were appointed In their places.
The question of admitting ministers who
are now on trial was then taken up and
upon reports of examining committees and
presiding elders a large number were ad
mitted , while others were continued on trial.
This work occupied most of the morning's
session.
A communication from the Utah Mlrs'onary
society was read and laid over for future
action. The matter refers to the case of
Rov. La Varke.
The bishop tald he > was aware that con
ferences were not careful enough In passing
upon the fitness of applicants for the work
ot the ministry. He was opposed to ad
mitting them upon trial ; he would hold them
out until they had proved their fitness for
the work of the Methodist ministry. In
th matter the presiding elders were the
ey of the people , and he would urge upon
them more Christian care. This met with
hearty aniens from the members of the
conference.
RCV. MR. WILSON'S CASG.
The < report In the case ot Rev. Wilson
created ! < a great deal of discussion. Rev.
Wilson had as one point to serve the village
of Dannebrog. His presiding elder-wanted
him continued on trial for another year , but
ministers and laymen objected. Rev. Wilson
went to Dannebrog and held n meeting In a
bce > garden and turned It Into a placa of
Cod , He found but three Methodists there
and In one short year had seventy con
versions. His work wis good ; he waa shown
to be pious nnd courageous , and endowed with
plity to a marked degree. In point of fact
Rev. Wilson was shown to bo an exemplary
young < man , and there was emphatic opposi
tion to referring his case to the committee
on conference relations. The presiding
elder said ho thought Hey.yllson \ deficient
Int Judgment , and this caused one aged brother
Ind t spring to his feet aril declare that ho
denied the right of a presiding older to
question his Judgment. iThl ? brought out
seme more "amens , " this time , from the lay
men. The motion to refar the case was
laid ' upon the table w Itli a jthud and the
minister was continued on trial.
Dr. Louis Curts , representing the publish
ing Interests of the church , was Introduced
to the conference. He assumed that Meth
odists knew the advantages of having good
Methodist ' literature. That's why he took It
for granted that Methodists should and do
patronize Methodist publications. Dr. Curts
said , his father was a shoemaker , consequently
quently father always made bis boots. In
this way the money wasflltepl In the family.
So the Methodist boolc 'concern Is a Meth
odist family affair. He said a few words
about the Christian Advocate published In
Omaha , and warned the peopla against be
coming Insular. His chief complaint was
that the Methodist book concern could not
get Its works before the people who took
only the Independent papers. This led Rev.
Shank to arise and tender Dr. Curts a whole
column for advertising the Methodist Book
concern's publications.
"Is this a new offer ? " asked Dr. Curts.
"No sir. " said Rev. Shank , "It has al
ways been open. "
"We did not know It , " said Dr. Curts.
"What advertising wo have done with you
has been paid for. "
"Well , you offered to pay for It , and of
course we took th& money. "
The brethren and ulsters laughed , and
Dr. Curts went on. He said some ministers

Later In the afternoon Rev , Dr. Lasby.
pastor of St. Paul' ' * church of Lincoln , and
candidate for the position of chancellor of
the Nebraska AVesleyan university , when
Chancellor Orclghton resigned , ndilmscd the
Women's < ' Homo Missionary society. The
auditorium of tha church was filled and the
doctor's < address was listened to with great
Interest , and several times ho was Inter
rupted by bursts of applause. He spoke of
the advance of woman na a factor In churoh
work , mid said that the sisters had within
them the power to convert the world to
Christ If they would but sot to work In the
right way. Ho believed the society he addressed -
j dressed ' was working In the right direction ,
and urged them on. During the short period
tin society had been at work In
this country It had raised { 1,200,000
for homo missions. It had closed the
saloons which greeted the Immigrant at
Battery Park , and had rescued thousands of
Ignorant girls from the clutches of those
who sought their ruin. Dr. Lasby devoted
a largo- portion ot his remarks to describing
points where the society would find a great
work to do. Ho spoke of the "poor whites"
of the south , Aho were hungering and thirstIng -
Ing for the light of Christianity. They were
steeped In Ignorance and devoid of all Idea
of homo tics and homo comforts. Yet these
"poor whites" to the number of over 10,000
fought for the old ( lag during the dark days
of the rebellion. Tlio fleoplo of the north
owed them n debt ot gratitude that could
never bo paid. Ho referred to the- work to
be done In the crowded tenements ot the
cities , In New Mexico and Arizona , Utah and
among the Indians. The speaker gave some
Interesting statistics of church work and
extension. In the states that Ha west of
Wisconsin there Is a Methodist church to
every 1,300 square miles , and In the opinion
of the doctor tills Is not enough churches.
The work of the deaconess' homes and of
the Mother Jewells homo at York was eulo
gized and the women urged on to more active
work In the support of these Institutions.

MHS. IV. D. FINK , Madison , Neb.
"So many have asked me about the re
sults of my treatment with Dr. Shcpard that
I give the facts publicly. I suffered as thou
sands of women do from neglected catarrh.
My doctors could not , or would not , treat mo
for my real trouble , and ths catarrh poison
got hold of my whole body and nearly ruined
me. It had been working In my system slnco
I was 13 years old , but got much worse about
four years ago. when I had la jrrlppo.
"Ths musoiis lining of my nose and throat
were first affected. I had a watery , nasal dis
charge for a. while , then It became offensive ,
and the left nostril sucllcd shut. The left
eye ran water and gave mo stinging pains.
Soon my stomach was attacked. For tlvo
years I was > n dyspeptic nnd couldn't digest
enough food to furnish any strength or
flesh. As the disease spread the bladder suf
fered also , giving me unspeakable distress.
My sufferings kept rest and sleep away un
til my nervous system was about exhausted.
"Shall I tell how Dr. Shcpard's work has
acted on me ?
"From being a weak and wretched Invalid
I have como to bo hearty nnd healthy In
every respect , I can't go up town without
Eomo of my friends speaking about the
great change , I believe Dr. Shcpard's treat
ment can do for other women all It has done
for mo.

"I had sour stomach , or acid dyspepsia , * '

Mouthfuls of eour gas and fluid were con
stantly belching up from mv stomach. Four

of bilious attack , At these times Intense
headache \vlth vomiting kept mo from work.
Even a drink of water would not stay down.
I took pounds of soda and much other stuff ,
but got no real benefits. After a while. th >
