The Baptist church was the scene last
evening , of interesting exercises , on the
occasion of the farewell service for the
live ; lady niissiouarles.from the east , now
en ( route fo their stations in Utah. These
ladies are Miss Nlelson , Mis.s Cleaver ,
Miss Parsons , Miss Miller anil Miss

The programme' consisted of short"
speeches , interspersed with music.
Miss Page , the first speaker , told of the
course of training pursued in the Mis
sionary Training school in Chicago , from
which she came , and pointed out the advantages -
vantages of the diuurcnt studies. The
pupils in the tntihing school , she said ,
were obliged to do practical missionary
work among the families in Chicago ,
Homo of which were badly in need of re-
" lions light.
Miss Cleaver , a noted Scandinavian
missionary ' , fold in a few simple words
.of herworkjimong other people in the
northwest.
"Work among the colored people of
the 1 south" furnished the theme of the
address by Miss Page , who has been a
teacher t in the Baptist colored college of
Kentucky ] and Roger Williams Institute ,
of Nashville. She spoke of her work
i there among the colored people and how
anxious they wore to learn.
Sf "What the institution needs , " said the
sneaker , "is money to carry on the work.
Hundreds ] of bright , promising young
men and women are turned away every
year from the institution for lack of ac
commodations. I wish' every Baptist of
the land could have heard the wail that
went \ up from a young colored girl , to
whom 1 opened the door a few months
t'itt ) . She had come all ilio way from the
( Southeast to enter the school , having se
cured money to pay her way by raising ,
pieking'and selling a crop of cotton. I
was obliged to tell her that we had no
room for her. and she turned away with
u bitter cry , 'lam a Baptist , and I don't
want to go lo any other school. ' "
1n Miss Parsons , a very ploa.Miig speaker
and lately missionary among the Indians ,
took the platform and told of. her work
among that class of people. Her talk
was an interesting one and was listened
to with the closes attention by her
hearers. "
Miss Miller , a missionary , who has
been 1 : for some time engaged in mission
ary work among the Mormons , told of
her labors in that field , in a short address - .
dress which wa.s perhaps the most cngag-
of the evening. Sue portrayed the
dark scenes of Mormon life in a manner
of ilu-llllnginterest.
After prayer by Mrs. Avery , president
of : the Women's Baptist Missionary n
union , of Jowa , the 'meeting came to an c
11c
end.

GIA'EX TJ1H ME.
There was a little by-play in the city
council last night which was quite spicy.
Mr. Leedcr arose during a heated
discussion , in which Fiur.iy had com
mented on his ( Leedcr's ) -candidacy for
sheriff , aiulpn a , question of privilege
addressed the council. He pulled from
liipocket ( a copy of an evening contem
porary , which last week naiiu charges
against Mr. Rosewater , editor of the Bin : ,
in reference to the committee'.s report in
favor of adopting Myers' plans for the
city hall. Mr. Lceder read extracts from
the article which asserted that
Mr. Rosewater wrote the report
for the committee , and denounced it a.s a
downright lie. He also characterized as
a barefaced falsehood the statement
made in the same sheet that the editor of
this paper had forced him to sign the re
port by threatening not to support his
candidacy for sheriff. Nothing of the
kin'd had ever occurred , and the writer of
the article referred to was placed in the
same category with those whom a certain
writer has said will "have their part in u
lake which burncth with lire and brim
stone. "
Three members of the city council ,
Messrs. Furay , Daily and "Ford , called
upon Mayor Boyd yesterday with : i
request to withhold bis signature to tlio
contract with K. E. Myers for the de
signing of the plans of jthe proposed
sici
c\y \ ( hall. Mr. Furay was the spokes
man of the trio. Ho' declared that the
city : had no authority to issue bonds for u
cityliall ' under the present charter , and
therefore it would bo improper and
premature to make a contract for the
plans. City Attorney Council , who hap
pened in at the time , was requested by
the mayor to look up this point and give
his opinion as soon as possible. Mr.
15oyd meantime expressed his willing
ness to withhold his signature to the eon-
tract until this morning.
In a later interview with Mr.Connell ho
stated that there could bo no objection to
the contract oven if the city cannot at
this time vote bonds. This contract al
lows the city four years for the comple )
tion 'of the building , and there is ilo
doubt of its being built within that time. ?
The eity can by ordinance .submit the
question to tlio voters this fall , whether
or no they will authorize the. expenditure
of ! ? e < X,0)0 ) ( ) for a city hall building. If
the proposition carries by two-thirds , the
city ' can begin the work with the money
ou'luiud from the school board , and tho-
work from year to year can go on as the
surplus in the treasury will al
low. There will bo nearly $25,000 ,
from the school fund , and as
much more may bo expended from the
general fund next slimmer if the assess
ments are raised to where they ought to
bis. If after that bond. * ) are needed , the
charter can bo amended to authorize the
issue. , '
From other interviews the reporter
gleaned that this movement to revoke thu
contract is an effort on the part of Furay
and Daily to boat the whole thing and
prevent ( lie erection of ; my eity hall. i
M.1BTKRN RATES RESTORED.
The Eastern Trunk Lines have agreed
upon the restoration of f might rates to u
tariff basis and a very appreciable in-
'crease in the expense of shipments from
eastern markets to the producing west
and vice versa will result ,
The local agents of all llio roads cast
bound from Omaha have been served
with detailed insructions ! in the now de !
parture , and whereas , during the past )
few months , all rate-s have been under
the knlfo and shipments wont and were
taken at almo't any price , an infUniblo
basis is now doolared ,
On October 1st the following schedule
will go into effect oust of Chicago and be
tween that.clty and New York ; Thirteen
classes inclusive , 100 , 85 , 70 , CO , 5015 , 40 ,
85,1)0 , ) , 25 , 0 , 25 , 20. The eastern lines
have agreed that all freight of the 12th
and 13tli classes , which includes provis
ions mul grain , in transit from'points
east of tlio Missouri river will bo carried
under the old cut rates. AH others how
ever must meet the now tariff rates , nt
On west bound business through Chicago
cage , the rates from Now York to Chica
go will also undergo restoration to the
following figures , fi classes inclusive :
1 ° L L " & * it .
CO 50 40 25 20
Bills of lading dated Saturday , Octo
ber lid , will take the old rate , except on
export shipments , upon which ton days
will bo given. All others will bo billed
ut the now rate.
This schedule operates to raise very
materially the ratas between Now York
and Omaha and brings it to the following to
liuuri's , live clasps inclusive :

' '
- J tWi
rates upon the necessities which the west
demands of eastern marts and factories ,
higher still will bo the lovf upon the
shipment of the west's
produce to east
ern markets.
This change hfiR no effect on rates of
western freight originating at Chicago
proper. t
Whatever fears may exist that the
above raise of rates will all'ect roads in
Nebraska , arc relieved upon the testi
mony of officers in both the Union Pacillo
and Burlington & Missouri. One of
these men said "This
yesterday : east
ern revolution is but the natural .en
deavor of those railways to reaolt n
bread-earning basis of rates after months
nnd i yearsof liauliiigalmost for nothing. "
Another gentleman , n. representative-
ono of the eastern roads running out of
this city , said : "This measure is of but
little consoqitcnco to Omaha. It will af
fect neither cattle or grain rates. These
shipments are u-ually consigned to Chicago
cage , the cattle to the commission men
and the grain to the elevjitors , for subse
quent disposition in which the producer
has no jntercst , and us rates bet ween hero
and Chicago are not effected there will
lie no change in the present schedule of
freight charges upon Nebraska's greatest
products.
"At the same time , " the gentleman
continued , "although it is Into that , rates
from the. east tire much increased , it will
at this .season have little bearing upon. .
Omaha purchasers from tho.-o markets.
as the jobbers hstvo now in nearly all
theit1 goods for the winter and there will
bn but Mule shipment of this character
for months to come. "
HITCHCOCK AH A I'KRSUADKtt.
A UKK report learned yesterday
that G. M Hitchcock , had approached
President lieehel , Of the. citv council on
Sunday night , and tried to 'induce that
gentleman Jo sign the anti-city hall pro
test. Mr. lieehel , when questioned about
the matter , said that Mr. II. had called
upon him on the evening mentioned and
prc cnlud to him the petition signed bv
two or throe members of the eity council
asking Mayor Hoytl to withhold his
signature from the contract. "He irskcd
me to sign the paper , " said Mr. Iteohol ,
"and 1 refused to do it. He then ad-
div.vsod mo in a very threatening way ,
telling mo that if J did not sign the doc
ument , I must take the consequences.
Ho4. aid in just so many words that as
1 did not choose to league my.sclf with
the iiitore-N ho represented , bo would
expose me in his paper and attach such
odium to luy name thai ] would have to
leave town. He talked in such
threatening terms for half an hour , and
seemed to bo very much disturbed
DOCUUSC , as he said , the minority had been
cheated out of their rigjils. I told him
that there had been dclav enough ; that
) lenty of time had been allotted for disillusion -
illusion ; that there was no snap game ,
etc. , etc. He continued his threatening
alk , but of eource 1 declined to sigrithu
) appr. Yes , 1 should have been perfectly
nstiticd in kicking him out of the olliee ,
mil 1 am almost sorry now that 1 did not
lo it. "
KKDSKIXS ON A 1U3XD13R.
Ollicial information was received n.t
icadquarters yesterday that a band of 200
'logon Indians luive left their rescrva-
lon in the far northwest , and arc now
on general thieving expedition in
Southern Montana , about MO miles from
) ld Fort Smith. The reservation of the
Mi'gau.s is near that of the Grows and
JIackfoot. For some 'lime they- have
been growing" restless , and anxious to
tart out on a marauding expedition.
Vhat they \yill do of course is unknown ,
hough it is not anticipated that their
> ulh of _ carnage and pillage will bo an
ilarmingly broad one. The oHicers hero
ire undecided as to whether
my troops of the department
of' the rlutto ought to bo dis-
lutched to the scene , p.f , , l.ho trpuble
or not. If it becomes necessary tfurtroons
at Fort.McKinney will be hunt out to take
are of the , invaders. Otherwise , the De-
mrtmontof the Dakota , in whose terri-
or.y the Piegans belong , will be allowed
o drive the redskins back.
With this exception the Indians of the
lorlhwest are reported as being in an
imlsuully quiet condition.
Lieut. Merriam , whose leave of absence
ins nearly expired , will leave at once for
us post at Fort Niobrara. Lieut. Parker
vill also proceed at once to Fort Wash-
ikie.

TAIjKlOO HIS AlOr OFF.
A bore in one of the hotels , Monday
$
nest richly merited. He was an iiibiiU'er-
tblo uui&aneu of the much talk , more
gesture character and had wearied the
fo/en or moro gentlemen sitting about
vilh his loud and incessant gabble. He
mil haulrd his chair about the room , do-
iveriug his ideas at the closest obtainable
align to each one , and was just closing
he list upon a demure-looking gentle-
nan buried studiously in the depths of a
icwspapur. The quiet , man had lost his
ight arm in the wars or on some
other occasion equally honor-
ilile , but a peculiar taste led
dm to a dii-guiso of his loss by
false glpved hand. The nuisance
ilanted his chair immediately in front of
ho quiet gentleman and plunged into
one of his inane harangues. The an-
loyanco was tolerated for si few minutes
and the others around' wore smiling at
ho situation , when , with a stealthy move-
ncntthoquictmaii unfastened the attach-
nunts of the false arm and it dropped
hi'oitgh his sleeve to the floor , The
garrulous bore cheeked his tongue aghast of
mil with feigned horror his intended vie-
im started to his feel exclaiming , "My
od , man , you have ruined moj you have
alked my arm oft" ! " Amid screams in
f laughter and convulsive howls from .
he crowd about , the nuisance leaped
rom Ills seat and tied through the door-
vay out into the street.

I'OWCK UNIFORMS ,
A question of some interest is being
agitated at present by the members of
the local police force concerning the
disposition ol tlie proceeds of their recent
bull.

that the surplus , divided up , would al

HK 8AAV RATS.
A ] iitiful sight in the police court yes
terday , ' was James Carroll , who had
, been arrested by Ollicer Crawford ns a
lunatic. Upon examination , however ,
Judge Stenberg decided.that his was but
a bad case of the "jim-jams. " Carroll
confidently ' informed him that certain
persons were in the habit of throwing
rats into his room at night , so that he
could not sleep. That some of those rats
were red as blood , juid dangerous as bull
dogs , etc. , etc. Ho created quite a com
motion by trying to catch a large
long-tailed rodent wliichlhad nested itself
in his eoaj. The poo'r fellow commenced
lo tear off h is coat , when the judge , who
at'once ' divined f ho tixjublo-assured him
that the rat had left himand been driven
out into the street. Carroll concluded
that this wa.s about correct , and quieted
down.
-Carroll was sent up to the county jail ,
where a few days' confinement will wear
off the effects othis spree.
