Tkey get Tegetker tke Third Time for the Good of the Coamiaity. The Young Men's Christian Associa tion of Dist No. 1, Nebraska, held their third annual convention here Friday, Saturday and Sunday and the meetings were much enjoyed by all church-going people, and called out many who do not usually attend church. There were about twenty-five delegates present, representing O'Kay, Platte co., Lincoln, E ..trice, Genoa, Omaha, Blair, Grand Island, David City, Stromsburg, Osceola, York, Fremont and Albion. Friday evening, Dean Gardner of Omaha made an excellent opening ad dress at the Congregational church, after which a reception was held in the Y. M. C. A. rooms, where refreshments were served, and short speeches were indulg ed in. Saturday was devoted to the reading and discussion of papers, all of which were good and deserve special mention. Sunday morning the delegates attend ed services at the several churches of the city, A. Nash of Omaha preaching at the Presbyterian, C. K. Powell of York at the Methodist, D. W. Montgomery of Beatrice at the Congregational, and Rev. Hays at the Baptist churches, respect ively. Sunday afternoon open-air servi ces were held, after which a meeting for men only at the opera house. Sunday evening a union meeting at the opera house, where a number of members spoke on different-subjects pertaining to the work, how to improve it and the benefits derived from it. Excellent music was furnished by a male chorus from the Columbus association with C. G. Hickok, their president, as leader. A number of duets were also sung by Messrs. Needham, of Albion, and Mont gomery, of Gage county, which were highly appreciated. Altogether the convention was a de cided success, and doubtless the city re ceived benefits which may be seen after many days. Mrs. Page will be assisted in her concert by Mesdames Chambers, Martin, and li, vans, and the ladies musical in chorus from home talent, and the cele brated violin and guitar player, Freder ick Spencer.

Large size 50c and 81. 34-y Near noon Wednesday last, a little too much of gasoline was lying around loose on the summer stove, at the Millett house on Fourteenth street, and a fire scene was the consequence. Quite a quantity of clothing was burned, the walls, eta, blackened bnt nobody se riously hurt. The fire department was called out, and valuable service rendered by them, as is always the case. Some foolish people allow a cough to run until it gets beyond the reach of medicine. They often say, "Oh, it will wear away, but in most cases it wears them away. Could they be induced to try the successful medicine called Kemp's Balsam, which is sold on a posi tive guarantee to cure, they would im mediately see the excellent effect after taking the first dose. Price 50c and $1. Trial size free. At all druggists. 33-y Somebody entered S. E.

"In tho latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy, and I think with considerable suc cess, only being in bed a little over two days, against ten days for the first at tack. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy, as I had to go to bed in about 6ix hours after being 'struck' with it, while in the first caso I was able to attend to business about two days before getting 'down.'

There is no danger from whooping cough when Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy is freely given. It liquefies the tough, tenacious mucus and aids in its expectoration. It also lessens the se verity and frequency of the paroxysms of coughing, and insures a speedy re covery. Thero is not the least danger in giving it to children or babies, as it contains no injurious substance. 50 cent bottles for sale by C. E. Pollock & Co. and Dr. Heinz, Druggists. tf City CohbcII. The returns of tho city election were canvassed by the city clerk in the presence of J. E. North and J. H. Gal ley, and the returns found as published in The Journal, last week excepting as to the Second ward vote on members of school board, which is: McAllister 57, Whitmoyer 87, Taylor 108, Henry 132, changing the totals in all three wards to: McAllister 196, Whitmoyer 264, Taylor 284, Henry 337, and electing Henry and Taylor. Messrs. Gondring, Speice and Phil lips of the committee on streets and grades recommended that the prayer of the petitioners be granted with refer ence to the opening of M and K streets over and across the U. P. Ry. and B. & M. Ry., as prayed for, but suggested that the city attorney be requested to submit to the council his opinion rela tive thereto. Report adopted. The city attorney submitted his opin ion with reference to tho matter of the chief of police saying: "In order to en title the city to maintain an action against any officer of the city or person for money had and received to and for its use there must in the first place be 'money due the city.' In the second place it must be shown that this money came into the hands of the party sought to bo charged therewith and has not been nccounted for. In this case I un derstand there is no judgment against any of these parties who claim to have paid money to McTeggart in favor of the city and which McTeggart, as a pub lic officer, was charged with the collec tion. This being true I see no way by which the city can maintain an action against Mr. McTeggart." An ordinance was introduced and read first and second time, changing salary of chief of police from S50 to SCO a month; of other, police from $50 to $55, and fixing limit of street commissioner at $300. Boettcher, Phillips and Speice of the committee on fire reported back the fire- limit ordinance with tho recommenda tion that the limits as described in the ordinance be established as designated, except that the west y of block 96 be omitted. The ordinance includes the following: e 86, o) 57, all of Frank fort square, and all of blocks 58, 59, 82, 83, 84, 85, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 117, 118, n4 116, e 119, sj 60, w 96. Within these limits (if the ordinances passes) the buildings hereafter erected must be of stone, brick or other incombustible ma terial with tin or other fire-proof roof. L Gluck made objection to including certain blocks in the ordinance, claim ing that it would prevent, at least for a time, any building upon the Bame and thus it would make such of lower value and be a detriment. Parts of certain blocks included in the limit, front on streets wholly or almost wholly devoted to residences, and it certainly would be unfair to property owners to compel them, at present, to build of stone or brick or not build at all. The fire limit ordinance is of great importance to all owners of property within and near tho limits marked, and to the entire city as well, and if there are any good reasons for the delay of the passage of such an ordinance (be cause it must come, soon of later), those interested should make them known. We are sure that the members of the council wish to hear every good ground of objection, and consider all just claims to recognition of business interests. City Attorney Reeder presented a re port on tho collection of occupation tax showing good progress. He was in structed to continue in tho work. Warrants were ordered drawn for sal aries for 1891, as follows: Of Mayor Ragatz $50; conncilmen, each $25; clerk for hist quarter $75; city attorney, six months, $87.50; for rent of office for tho year $50; to A. Boettcher, mdse, etc., $183.95; D. F. Davis, printing, $63.83; the various judges and clerks of election and special police, bills amounting to $72. at $3 each. The bill of E. C. Morrow for $4 was presented and read, and a motion to allow the same to tho amount of $3.00 was lost. Arniti 8th, 1892. All members of the council and Mayor Ragatz present. Minutes of previous meeting read and approved. Tho fol lowing resolution was then offered by Councilman Phillips, and unanimously passed: Resolved, That the thanks of this council bo extended to our retiring Mayor Henry Ragatz, for tho able and courteous manner in which he has pro sided over the deliberations of this body the past year, and tho impartial rulings which at all times have characterized his actions as our presiding officer; that wo commend the untiring zeal and at tention to duties manifested by him as mayor in the interest and welfare of our city. The mayor responded in a very neat little speech and Councilmen Gray and Phillips in their remarks were very com plimentary to Mayor Ragatz for the manner in which he had conducted the meetings of the council. The minutes of tho council were then written up and approved, and Mayor Schupbach, Councilmen Spoerry, Hoff man and Newman wero sworn in and took their places as members of the council, instead of Ragatz, Speice, Pol lock and Gondring, their respective pre decessors. Mayor Schupbach, in taking the chair, promised to work for the best interest of the people of the city, and expressed the hope that the administration of the affairs of the city during the coming year would be Buch as to retain the con fidence the people had expressed. At this point a package was passed to Councilman Gray by ex-Councilman Gondring who said that citizens of the Third ward wished Mr. Gray to present it to Councilman-elect Newman. Mr. Gray delivered a very eloquent little speech saying in substance that Mr. Newman's friends were disposed to testify their appreciation at the sudden elevation of their friend to the city council and to entertain hopes of his further advancement A distinguished friend of his once remarked that to have true fame, a man must be large or havo a heavy coat of hair. In this ase he had suggested a hirsute appendage, but ho was overruled, and it was thought best, in view of tho fact that Socldess Simpson had acquired fame, that it was necessary to take care of tho lower ex t remit ies; also that in view of tho large use ho had mado of these in the recent campaign he was doubtless in need of (hero he produced a pair of silk stock ings No. 14, stretched at full length on a card to which they were tied with bright red ribbons.) He wished to express the hope that, when the gentleman, done with the trials of earth, climbs the lad der, Jacob like, the last that may be seen of him, will be these silk stockings, the emblem of his ward. Newman returned his thanks briefly and took his seat. Phillips remarked that Councilman Newman had requested leave to sit by him, and he would suggest an immediate "change." The bonds of S. J. Ryan, V. A. Macken, Wm. Bucher, Paul Hoppen and Sam Gass for retail license were ap proved, and those of J. P. Abts and Co lumbus Brewing Co. for wholesale li cense; druggist's permits were ordered issued to C. B. Stillman, Wm. Kearville, C. E. Pollock & Co. and A. Heintz. The bond of A. Haight, city treasurer, was approved. At the meeting Saturday evening tho bonds of Katie Hagel, Thos. Flynn, L. J. Lee, Murphy & McDonald, J. P. Abts and J. A. McDaniel were approved and licenses granted. The mayor then announced the stand ing committees for the year, and after some other business of minor impor tance, nis appointments which were con firmed: City Attorney W. M. Cornelius; water commissioner Chas. Schroeder; chief of police Frank Coleman, night police S. L. McCoy. lho finance committee was instructed to settle with ex-city treasurer, Delsman. What is the Mode and Object or Ilaptism? Editor Journal: Two respectable .citizens of Columbus, Mr. Hurd and Mr. Galley have published in the Argus short articles regarding the ordinance of baptism. Will you permit the writer of this to say a word too on the snbject? He chooses to do that in The Journal because he has been for so many years well acquainted with that old, reliable sheet, and also because he wishes to just touch very gently upon the Miessler Hudson and "Not Infallible" controver sy having been going on in The Journal 1. What is Baptism? It is an ordi nance instituted by our Divine Savior, and as in the whole multiplication table from "twice one is two" way up into the millions and beyond them, only this simple addition of one to one made two, so surely thero is but one action real baptism and that can be only tho one instituted by the great head of the church one in subject, mode and ob ject. Hence the scripture says, one baptism. Eph. iv:5. 2. One in subject: When the eunuch asked for baptism, Philip answered: "If thou believest with all thy heart." etc. Again : "But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ they were baptized both men and women." Acts viii:12 and 39. So through the whole New Testament, re pentance and faith are prerequisites to baptism. In every case where house hold baptisms are recorded the attentive and well disposed reader will find some point not applicable to sucklings. This the most learned theologians admit. To be short, I will quote only one. Mr. Burkit says, Expos, notes of Math.. xix:13: "John's baptism was the baptism of repentanco of which infants were in capable." 3. One in mode: That the words baptize, baptism, in our English version are not a translation of the original Greek is well known, thoy are anglized Greek and signify (according to all lex icograpers) to immerse, immersion, to plunge, to dip and nothing else. I quote only Tertullian who lived within a cen tury after the apostle John, who men tions expressly the people whom John dipped in Jordan." (Qnos Joannes in Jordan tinxit). Calvin in his comment on Acts viii:39 says: "Here we perceive how baptism was administered among the ancients, for they immersed tho whole body in water." Luther: "Baptism is in Greek baptis mo, in Latin mercio, i. e. to dip some thing wholly in water, that it closes together over it" 4. In its object. Baptism is not a saving ordinance as Mr. Galley main tains. If it were, then the whole plan of salvation would be useless. Just be baptized (and saved) would be the whole of it in a nutshell. But we are told to repent and believe and be baptized. If Mr. Martin Heintz had been a proper subject of baptism, and if he had been baptized as he was sprinkled in his in fancj, and if Mr. Galley's assertions were correct, then the Rev. Mr. Miessler would have been still more out of the way by refusing to bury a man who, ac cording to Mr. M's church doctrine and practice had been made a christian and saved in his babyhood. But sprinkling is not baptism, babes are not proper subjects for baptism, and salvation is not the object of the ordi nance. So much negatively, now for the positive: Baptism is the voluntary act of obedience to his Savior of a believer, andconsists in tho immersion of such a believer (or saved person; in the namo of the holy trinity. "If ye love me keep my command ments," says our blessed Redeemer and "Blessed (i. e. happy) are they that keep his commandments," and the whole tenor of tho New Testament shows that "Arise and be baptized!" is the first command of tho Lord to ovory believer. Just as the existence of counterfeit proves that there is real money in the world, so the many human inventions called baptism prove that there is one true baptism. The writer has boiled down his con victions as much as possible, in order not to abuso the kindness and forbearance of the liberal editor of our oldest and best-known paper, else he would have brought a great deal more proof from tho holy scriptures, from the fathers and from church history.
