From Tuesday's Dally. ; The Sunday school convention which opened with a light at tend ance yesterday morning on ac count of the poor weather, was well attended at the evening ses sion, last night, when the aud itorium of the church was filled to hear Dr. Shepherd in his lec ture on "The Education of the Youth." After the song service and a special anthem by the large choir, the speaker of the evening was introduced and occupied an hour and a quarter, giving one of the most interesting and striking lec tures ever heard in the city on a similar occasion. The lecturer used the blackboard to impress his thoughts on his auditors. His theme was the proper instruction of the child mind, and was to some extent a criticism on the old fogy methods of instruction in use in some localities at this time. Dr. Shepherd placed on the board a diagram containing the words, "Effort, Memory, Recite, Pass," and drew a picture of con dition in his boyhood. He was sent to school when a boy in hl9 father's clothes. lie wore the boots, pants, coat and hat of his father; other boys did the same. When he attended Sunday school he was placed in a class with boy9 of his own age. A teacher sat by them when the lesson opened.

None of the boys understood a word of what they had read and the teacher ap parently knew as1 little as tho class, for if he did, he kept his knowledge to himself, as not a word of explanation was given. Sometimes the class might be asked to commit a verse to mem ory and asked to recite it, but the instruction got no further. When ho grew a little older he was ex pected to know a lot. of theological principles, which his father never understood and which had been handed down from his grand father; here again he was wearing his father's intellectual clothes. On the board in opposition to the words above stated, the lec turer placed the words which he would suggest in their stead, viz: "Interest, Activity and Achieve ment," and elaborated on the thought of creating an interest In the subjects taught, lead the child to do' something, and he would de velop or achieve.

The case, entitled D. O. Dwyer vs. the News-Herald Publishing company, et, el., was before the 'court yesterday and required most of the day of its consideration, and the matter was finally ad journed over until this morning to allow the attorneys to reform their pleadings and see if the scope of tho inquiry could not be narrowed so as to let E. O. May field out of tho suit. The matter in controversy ia the rent due plaintiff in tho sum of $1 00 for a portion of tho tinio the News-Herald occupied his building, ami the suit, was originally begun for foreclosure of an alleged lien derived by virtue of a chattel mortgage, given by the corporation to Mr. Dwyer lo secure the rent. Afler the fore closure suit was instituted the owners and holders of the, ma jority of stock in the News-Herald Publishing company joined with the corporal ion in making a bill oT sale of the plant, lo E. M. Pol lard, as well as sold him tho slock of tho corporation, who in turn made a bill of sale to E. O. Mayflold, who assumed control of the plant. Mr. Dwyer, in order to protect his lien, and to have all persons interested in the property before the court, filed an amended peti tion, making both Mr. Pollard and Mr. Mayfleld parlies to tho litiga tion, and prayed an injunction against them, transferring of the corporation slock, or the properly on which he claimed a lien.

Yesterday about noon the coun ty officials were notified, that an insane woman, Mrs. Whiting, was being detained by a parly of wom en at Louisville and to hasten to that village and bring her away.

Deputy Manspeaker's nolo, which he had left in Louis ville Monday on account of bad roads, was run out, and (he chase was taken up. Two and a half miles east of Louisville they pot trace of tho insane woman, who ! was still coming loward Platls- mouth, but that vvas the last seen of her. Tho officers came on to town and the sheriff then look a team and returned to Louisville, and searched for the woman through the night, and found her in the rear of Mrs. Cutforth's residence, where she had gained an entrance by a back door during the night. The woman had circled from the Plait smouth road north to the railway track and then returned to Louisville. She accompanied tho sheriff to Plaltsmoulh this morning, com ing in on No. 4. Her husband and brother, deorge Evert, came down to the hearing. The woman has been in Louisville about a month, and it appears that Omaha has been her home. She formerly lived in Platlsmoulh. The insanity board met and concluded that the woman was not subject to Cass county jurisdic tion, as she had escaped from the county house of Douglas county, and ordered her taken to Omaha. I FOB REHT IS SETTLED Dwyer's inortfuiMO, as his mortg age for purchase money was ex ecuted prior to that of Mr. Dwyer's rent mortgage. When the matter came- up for hearing Tuesday on the merits of the claim of Mr. Dwyer and Mr. May field, who had succeeded to Mr. Pollard's, rights Mr. Mayfleld, tiring of the controversy, asked I mho let out, ami' tho amount of Mr. Dwyer's claim vyas tendered to tho court by Mr. Pollard. The matter was argued at some length to the court, Mr. Mayfleld maintaining that as the money to pay Mr, Dwyer's claim, if he' should succeed in establishing his lien, being in court, there was no reason for keeping him in court; that the parties to the con troversy could settle their dif ferences without his presence, Mr. Dwyer argued as strenu ously that the money in court would no doubt take the place of the properly, bnt it would not take' tho place of tho parlies, and that the scope of tho litigation as de signated by the pleadings would no doubt demand Mr. Mayflold's presence as ft party. And for fear that the Investigation would be limited If tho court should dis miss the suit as to Mr. Mayfleld, and the inquiry blocked, ho thought the parties should remain as they were. Tt was finally determined lo al low tho plaintiff to withdraw his petition and to reform the issue, leaving Mr. Maytleld out of the controversy, and with this in view tho matter was continued irhtil this morning. There Is nothing . ,n ,hr, C!lHC ,,ial WOuld cast any reflection on the' present owner of the News-Hernld, as he acquired tho properly after I he con troversy arose Nind by a deposit of the money on the part of Mr. Pollard, the paper will bo separat ed from the litigation entirely.
