T. HL P LLOCIC DEALER rr IC ULU ifinn- ODIST GHURGH AT ROCK BLUFFS The Omaha World-Herald of Sun day has a very interesting story of the old Methodist church at Kock IHuii:-, which is as follows: "The corner stone of the old Metho dist church of Rock Bluffs in eastern Cass county was opened August 21, after being sealed for forty-six years, and documents of historical value were found. The church, a substantial stone and brick, 20x 10, was one of the best con structed buildings in this thriving little river town at that time. From the time of its construction to the time of its destruction, it has weath ered many hardships erected in 1870, taken by the mortgagee in 1883, later sold to a farmer, who used it as a hay barn, and while filled with alfalfa from the pews to the belfry, was de stroyed by fire within the last year. The building is being wrecked by Alex Giaves of Murray, whose father, Will iam CI raves, and uncle, Eben Graves, manufactured the brick and did the brick work on the church two years later. He will use the brick to con struct a dwelling in Murray. "The contents of the corner stone had been placed in the cavity chiseled out of the limestone and had been plastered over with mortar. They were in a bad state of preservation. Its Interesting Contents. "Those things found in the corner stone were: A statement of the dedi cation, the minutes of the tenth con ference of the Methodist Episcopal church, a book of Discipline, New Testament, a copy of the Central Christian Advocate, published at St. Louis, dated September 7, 1870. "A sheet of common writing paper gave the following information re garding the dedication: " 'Methodist Episcopal church, Sep tember 15, 1870. -W. Gidding, P. E., Lincoln district, Nebraska conference. Dedicated with appropriate ceremo nies September 15, 1870. Present And associate members. The Rev. H. 11. Maxfield, the Rev. L. W. Smith, the Rev. II. I Mann, the Rev. Brother Murphin of Portsmouth, ()., ami the Rev. Brother Lemming.' "The Rev. Mr. Lemming was pas tor of the church at the time of dedi cation. '"On the opposite page was given the names of the building committee, all well known pioneers of this part of the country: 'Henry Polen, Mandy (not legible), Moses Hiatt (now 84 and a resilient of Murray), John Stafford, Sampson Carncs, Thomas Mann, II. Craig and Mary Polen Tay lor.' "Mr. Moses Hiatt was chairman of the building committee, class leader and superintendent of the Sunday school at that time. Mr. Hiatt, in looking over the records he helped deposit in the corner stone a half cen tury ago, dreamily remarked, "People don't live now like they did then no time for enjoyment all in a hurry.' "The book of Discipline, and New Testament were returned to Mrs. Will iam Taylor, Plattsmouth, as she had given them to the dedication services. "The minutes of the tenth Nebraska conference held at Fremont, March 31, to April 2, 1870, gives in detail the transactions of each day. They were published by 'The Republican Steam Printing House and Book Bindery, Omaha, 1870' "The copy of the 'Central Christian Advocate' of September 7, 1870, pub lished in St. Louis, while forty-six years old, is quite modern as it re ports extensively war news (Franco Prussian) and the influence of the war on food stuffs. The medical charatan advertised much bolder than he does in this age. There are no illustrations and Mutt and Jeff could not be found. War News, Too. "The pioneers in Nebraska read the following war news in September, 1870: " 'Minister Motley telegraphed the news to Washhigton, and adds that King William will assign a residence to Napoleon. Count de Palikoa and the council of ministers of Paris is sued the following proclamation to the French people: "A great misfor tune has come upon the country. Af ter three days of heroic struggles, sustained by the army of Marshal McMahon against 300,000 of the en emy, 40,000 men have been made pris oners. This cruel reverse will not shake our courage. Paris is today in a complete state .of defense. The milifnrv forces of the country will organi'e in a few days. A new army will be under the walls of Pari; an other army is forming on the banks of ilm Tviip. The emneror has 'been made a prisoner." "Under the caption, "Grain and Pro duce Prices Current" the following is given: "'St. Louis, Mb., Saturday, Sept. 3, 1S70. The overwhelming defeat of the French army under McMahon and the surrender of Napoleon have caused gold to fall considerably, and raised the (juestion as to what will be the future prices for bread-stuffs and pro visions If peace is shortly con cluded, prices will advance for a time, on opening the blockade ports, until the waste of war is in a measure sup plied by our imports.' ' This is followed by a very com plete list of all commodities on the maiket at that time. Flour is quoted at o" pei- barrel, live cattle per hundred, sugar 11 cents per pound, deer skins, summer, 23, and winter, 18 cents per pound. American gold is quoted at 113, and lead at 7 cents per pound. Omaha in 1870. "A part of a letter from the Rev. John Ing to Ids friend, in Chicago runs as follows: " 'On Train Cooper Lake, C02 M. S. W., Omaha, Tuesday a. m., Aug. 23. 1870. Running all night we reached Council Bluffs. Ia., which, being on the opposite side of the liver from Omaha, late capital of Nebraska, which was moved to Lincoln, some sixtv miles south of the last men tioned city. Omaha is a beautiful city, : treets 100 to 120 feet wide, has many fine residences and churches (two Methodist churches), one street car railroad and a population of from 15,000 to 18.000. mostly from the east. "Notices, appear to the effect that j Peter Cartwright was holding meet ings in St. Louis at the date of thi.-" issue of the Advocate, and he seems to have been in as great a demand as Billy Sunday is today. Many com ments are given on his rough and ready sermons. "It has been agreed by all those in terested that all papers taken from the corner stone of this pioneer church shall he turned over to the State Hi toiical society." fV J AK , :. ryi ffCx.. r . . . ,: .'-w M' y ' ....C- .
