The Secret Don crenco of the Union Pacific Officials and the Bluffitea , WEDDED WHILE IN DURANCE. A Klvor-SIck Tourist Anniversary Htcrclscs of Christina Yotiiiu Men Tlio Knstcr Services 'JL'lio ' McrcorCaso. The Union Pnolflu and the President Adams , of the Union Pacific , kept Ills promise Saturday , and came to this city to lioro misct Mayor Chapman , and a committee of the bo.ird of trade , prominent shippers and other citizens , lo was accompanied by General Super ntendent Callaway , GeneralTr.ilhe.Man ager Kimball and Diroolor ! ' . Ames , chairman of the executive committee of he board of directors. Tlio conference was hold with closed leers , and the reporters were especially elioved of the task of being in attend ance. Like all such secret conclaves , he doings of the afturnoon became cnowii , however , to the press , but there was really little to report beyond the glittering generalities , and hints at better hingsfor Council Hi nil's , these hints not taking the form of any definite promises , and hence there is not laid the fountla- ion for any future charge of a breech of 'aith. The citizens presented as their chief grievances alleged discriminations in : roight , which were working to the dis- ndvantagu of Council Blull's ; the narrow- ng of the channel of the river by the new bridge building , and the throwing up of in embankment , dinning the water , and uaking Hoods liable ; the shutting up of the stock yards ; the tailure to run the lummy trains in accordance with the agreement made when the city gave up to the road Union uventto. There was also an eagerness to got some information as to whether the com- mny was contemplating the removal of t.s sliops anil freight yards to this .side of the river. It was urged that the ccjin- pany had plenty of room here , owning ibundaueo of laud , and that getting urowtled in Omaha , it would bo to the jompanv's interest to locate the shops bore. The fact that Omaha is gutting so crowded , and that land is gelling very valuable there , was touched upon in Mr. Adams' address to the Omaha citi/.ens tit the banquet Friday night , and the inti mation that the day was not far oil'when thoho shops and yards would bo removed i few miles , had aroused the hope of the Council BlulVH people , that when so moved , Council Ulnlw would bo chosen as the new site. The conference resulted in very litllo information to .satisfy the eager "inquiry ot the citizens bore. Pres ident Adams , in sub.-tanco , told the citizens that ho had not the happiest ex periences in disclosing the plans of the L'ompanv. Ho had in the past found that by tolling what the company was going to do , ho had brought a storm about his oars li-oni other .sources , and that from liis past experience ho bad como to the conclusion'that ho would not hereafter make any public announcements of plans and purposes , but lot the public learn from the progress of the work , rather than from any statements made in ad vance of the work. In other words , ho told the Council Binds folks to wait and see , assuring them that the policy of the road in re gard to improvements affecting this city , would bo to aid the city , and increase it.s prosperity , so far as this could bo clone without : ihy injury to the best interests of the road. Tlio alleged discrimination in freight did not show up very strong , but the as surance was given that whenever any hueh dii-criminalions were made to ap pear , they would bo promptly corrected , as the company had no object in permit ting discriminations against any point on its line , or in favor of any point on its lino. lino.Mr. . Adams stated that the plan for building an embankment out to the first piorof tlio now bridge hail been aban doned , and that trestle work would bo used instead , so that the water might have full course in case of Hood. In regard to other grievances ho stated that if the citi/.ons would prepare these in any definite form , and present them to the Iowa railway commissioners , he would submit to any decision made by that board. Other matters brought to his attention he. would take under consider ation , anil decide upon after reaching home , but ho would give no intimation as to what ho proposed to do for Council Bluffs , beyond the general intimation that the company had plans and pur- posss which Would be a marked bonelit to this city. It remains as much a mystery as over , therefore , whether Council Bluffs is to have any of the improvomonis for which it has been waiting so long. Under tlio old management of the roau this city was kept along on rather evasive promises and mysterious hints of developments soon to come , but which proved to ho a hope long deferred , making the heart stele. The new management starts in with about the same kind of general inti mations and hopeful hints , but those who wcro present at the conference seem to have renewed confidence that the now management means to treat the city fairly at least. President Adams made a very favorable impression hero by hi.s ap parent fairness , his pronir.t , business-like way of asking questions and answering those put to him. It seems that ho fools that this city has hardly treated him as it Miould , AtS ! ? having given the assurance that ho would come lioro in poison and lioorwhatgriov- anee.s thorn might bo , it appears that the war was kept up and hostile action se cured nt I'cs ' Molnes , and threatening let- tot's written. His fgclil'.g f ms to bo liiat after the assurance given in Ids notlco that he would como hero , there should have been a truce until a conference could have boon held. The conference seems to have had thoouoctof allaying this fooling on both sides somewhat , and on the part of the citizens interested there is ex pressed a fooling in favor of waiting patiently until the Union Paeilio has boon given a. further clmneo to show what its policy in to bo in regard to Counoil Bluffs , and then , if it is found that the company will not act on ju.st causes of complaint , make a bitter war as be.st it can , President Adams has succeeded in impressing those in the coiitcrenco with his binccnty and willingness to do what ho can conM&tontly for ibis city , and ho has gained this much by coming hero. How much the city has gained , and whether it has gained anything , can only bo told by the tuturo. Until thai is dis closed the pcoplo must bo content with Mr. Adams' statement that plans and measures are being matured which will greatly benelit Council Blufls. V. 91. O. A. Anniversary. The Young Men's Christian Associa tion held its anniversary mooting yester day afternoon , There was a very largo attendance , dispitc the dismal weather , The exercises consisted of short ad dresses , and songs. The retiring presi dent , Dr. Montgomery , presented in his address some interesting facts concerning the history of the association in this city. In the spring of 1883 the preliminary mooting was called to consider the or ganization of an association hero. It was held in the Presbyterian church. Not one of the ministers of the city favored the motion , but /nice then they have be- como warm supporters. The Fitch broth ers , CW Dunn , J. F. Barko and \V. S. Homer were amotia the prime movers. The association had no rooms , and held its gospel meetings in different churches , chiclly in the Baptist church , the use of which was donated , and the location be ing central. Mr. George Houser , tlio secretary at Omaha , gave much help and encouragement in these early days. One night n band of thirty from Omaha came over to cheer on tne work here. .Mr. Reynolds , recording secretary , also aided much. In September , ISt'i ' , the association rented two rooms of P. C. DcVol on North Main street , for t'200 a year. At that time there wore but twenty members. In the following January a dinner was given to ninety or more boys , and began other forms of work. In May of thosamo year a delegate was sent to the inter national convention held in Milwaukee. About this time the need be came apparent for n secre tary hero. It was not until January , 1551 , that one \\'ZS found whom it wa thought would be the man for the place. This one was Harry Curtis , of the Harlem branch of the Y. M. U. A. , of New York. Ho entered upon the work about the first of February Four more rooms were soon rented , thus enlarging the accommodations , A gymnasium ' outfit was purchased. By this time the expenses reached about $1)2 ! ) a month , The business men had done nobly in en couraging the enterprise , several giving as high as $100 eaeh. In May , 1833 , another move was made , the old rooms getting too small. The present quarters were taken. In the last days of the same year the ladies heautilled the rooms with now carpets , paper and paint. The retiring president expressed personally his thanks for the encouragement he had received , and ho paid a special tribute to Mr. A. B. Walker , who did more the first two years to save the association than any other man did , and who had since done nobly in aid of the work. Just recognition was given to the general sec retary , Mr. Curtis. When no entered upon the work there were but thirty members , and it iuul now become : i band ot 178. Tlm new president of the association , Mr. N. P. Dodge , gave an excellent ad- dre.ss. Ho recognized the position in which ho had been placed as one of honor , as well as responsibility Ho pledged himself to the work. In speak ing of the needs of the oity , ho recog nized tlio need of manufacturing , of bet ter railway facilities , of larger hotels , but the great need was the elevating of the moral tone of the city. The associa tion was a power in llns direction , and was a material advantage to the city , as well as spiritual. Hov. Mr. Grots , pastor of the Congre gational church , Kov. Dr. Cooley , of the Baptist , Uov. Dr. McCroary , of the .Meth odist , tollowed with short addresses , full of encouragement to the work. Kiister Services. Yesterday was not one of the brightest and best for new bonnets , but the churches were pretty well Tilled and all made special arrangements for the day. The decorations wore not quite so elabo rate as in some former years , but still there was a profusion of flowers in. all the churches. SI. Paul's Episcopal church , being en gaged in building , and occupying in llio meantime Masonic hall , did not have the opportunity nor the inclination to adorn the place of worship as elaborately as though in their new church. Still the floral decorations were much more pleas ing than was to bo cxpeclod under tlio circumstances. The sermons were _ appropriate - propriato to the day , and the services throughout in keeping. In the musical portion of the morning service Mr. Mar shall i'reynor sang n.solo , "Resurrec tion. " One of the pleasing features of tlio day was the Lastcr olloriiijr of the children for the building fund. Each of them had been furnished some weeks ago a little church , of pottery , adapted as n savings bank , and these wore all brought in yesterday afternoon , broken open , and the money counted out. At the Catholic church services wore held morning , afternoon and evening. The Methodist church was adorned with llowers in profusion. In the morn ing tlio pastor preached upon the theme of the day , and for the evening a concert exercise had been arranged for the chil dren. The Presbyterian church was not elabo rately decorated , but the altar and pulpit were made to blos > om into beauty. The services were in keeping with the day. The Misses Merkel gave some choice music. The altar and pulpit of the Baptist church were very pleasingly adorned with flowers and plants , 'iho pastor lircachud an excellent sermon , and in the evening there was the ordinance of bap tism. Sermons appropriate to the day were preached at the Congregational church , i'ho floral decorations were quite elabo rate and very handsome. Above the pul pit was suspended a snowy white dove. The quartette choir gave sonic excellent anthems , and Mrs. Rolf and her sister. Miss Edinger , sang a very pleasing Easter duet. MnrrluU Hi Jail. There was a marriage at the county jail yesterday , which was not of the mer riest sort. The company gathered was quite select , but the event was not char acterized by the features which generally call forth biich a profusion of adjectives from the society reporter. The groom was George J.Ste\cns , and the bride was Mrs. Susanna Chapman. The previous relationship of the parties led both into trouble , and the ceremony y JJ 'IVWj0 \ lend Imlh of thorn out again. Slovens was at work on Mrs. Chapman's farm , near Neola , and suddenly skipped out with about # 30 of Mrs , Ciiapiuan's money , For this ho was arrested , mid is now lywg in tw | county jail awaiting the action of the grand jury in May. The ceremony will probably result in his being acquitted , as she can hardly testify against her husband. Rev. Mr. Rico olllelatod , and at the oloso of the core- inony the groom returned to his cell to meditate , and the bndo repaired to the house of .some friends whom she is visit ing hero. A lUver-Slulc Traveler. Yesterday a report reached police headquarters that a man had boon found at the river , lying in an unconscious con dition. The report \as continued by the visit of the oUicors to the spot , but there were few sensational features to the case. The man proved to bo C. Brunswick , a blacksmith , \vio | was making Iho journey from Sioux City down the river by boat , intending to stop over at Omaha , anil see Eonio relatives tlieie , and then ptocecd to St. Joseph , He had his heat loaded with blacksmith tools and luggage , and when he reached hero ho was laken with a con gest ! vit chill. Ho was brought up to headquarters and there cared for. Ho was soon restored to consciousness , and by night had sufficiently recovered in strength to bo able to proceed across the river on the dummy train. Tlio Mercer Cane. The examination ot Mrs. Huber , alias Frank , was continued Saturday. The evidence introduced contained little of general public interest. The day was confined mainly to the continuation of the attempt to fettle the question as to wheth er the Mercer girl had a good or bud rep utation before she was induced to go to Mrs. Huber's hoiiso The witnesses wiio had worked in. the same hotel with hir , and others who had lived -near her , and who had employed her , all spoke well of her , and none of them had any thing to say against her , moro than that she was perhaps a little careless and indis creet in some matters 'of ' little real im portance. The day's evidence was strong ly In favor of the girl. The ca o will bo resumed Tuesday morning. There maybe bo a ilttlo evidence brought in yet , but this has not been fully'decided ' upon. If not , the arguments will open. Odd Fellows' Anniversary. To-day is the sixty-seventh anniversary of the Odd Fellows. A largo number of the Odd Fellows of Council Blurt's and the surrounding Iowa towns will celebrate the day in Omaha , where extensive prep arations for the celebration have been madp , The Odd Fellows of the city will meet in their hall in the opera liouso at 10:30 : o'clock this morning , and they ex tend tin invitation to all visiting Odd Fol lows to join them.

"Weaver's Euchre combination. " One merit of their performance is the reality of their drinking scenes in the various plays. Their inspiration was drawn from a coal box behind the hall , until some of the small boys around town took their inspiration from the same source , when the manager removed the bottles to the inside. The manager , dur ing his stay here , came near getting into a fight through his unkind refusal to give some "comps" to one of our prominent hotel keepers. PAUL Pity.

The sa loons have been closed for the past two weeks , and in all probability will remain closed. They think the now law is too strong for them , and they do not care to take any chances in the matter. The owners of two buildings in which saloons were running notified the occupants to close at once , and they were not long in complying. The county seat question is the all- absorbing theme at the present lime. From the arguments made by the Logan- itcs , they do not dare to let it come to a vote if they can prevent it , and they are using every means possible to that end. The probabilities are that the peoulo will bo given a chance to vote on the ques tion , notwithstanding the amount of money anil exertions that are being put forward to prevent it. The Missouri Valloyites arc bound to have a vote. If they do not succeed this time a. petition wilt bo presented again at the next term of the board. They have enlisted for the light and will push the question till it is settled , and nothing mc m Sot. no it. The Fremont Elkhorn & Missouri Valley folks are increasing their capacity tor doing work , and now shops will Do built at once and moro machinery put in. They have lately received quite a numbcrof now en gines and there is moro to follow. The prospects at the present time are vorv encouraging for a building boom " this"summer. .

You do not pay us a fraction of a cent for the chance to get the present. We arc selling our A. 1) ) . C. Soap cheaper to-day than wo ever did during thcithree years that it has been placed on the market , and consequently you get full value in Soap , We are simply ADVERTISING our A. B. C. Soap on the most magnificent scale ever attempted by any one firm. Three years ago we started out to sell A. B. C. Soap on its merits , to-day thousands of the most intelligent housekeepers in this and all the principal cities of the Union use our A. B. C. Soap and marvel why it is not used in every home. " The principal grocers throughout the Union tell us one reason why its ttsc has not become general is that has not been sufficiently advertised ; and another reason is , because many people who have bought it , did not give it the necessary and intelligent attention it deserves. They did not read the directions , and finding that it would not wash by laying A. B. C. Soap on top of the bundle of soiled clothes , they fell back to five cent soap. thousands Ti Mis : "Your A B. C. Soap is all that you claim for it ; it not only gives satisfaction , but we find that our most intelligent customers say that u is A. BLESSING IN THE HOUSEHOLD and arc enthusiastic and speak in the highest terms of praise about it. Why don't ' you advertise it ? " It is therefore that we arc making this extraordinary effort to bring A. B. C. Soap to the notice of every intelligent person and in order to induce every one to buy it , and continue to use it until they have fully tested its merits , we say to them SAVE THE ABO WRAPPERS And send them to us during the months of June or December next , and we shall distribute among you an array of presents which , lor magnificence and usefulness , surpasses everything heretofore offered by any one firm.

Soap is our own invention , and all who have used it cheerfully concede to it the merit ol being the greatest improvement ever made in domestic economy. A. B. C. Soap , and the MODE OF WASHING WITH IT , is as different from all other soaps , and the old way of washing , and is as much an improvement over the old system , as traveling by railway is over that by an ox-cart. A girl of \S \ , or the most delicate person , can wash WITHOUT THE LEAST EXERTION. ; n one hour , more clothes with A. B. C. Soap , than the most robust , with the hardest work and slavish toil t in wash with the best soap , and the old way of washing , in three hours. And withal , A. B. C. Soap is t\je \ mildest and sweetest soap ever manufactured. We warrant you can wash baby with it and it will look ta bweet and fresh as a rose. .Remember , that while you can use A. B. C. Soap in anyway or manner you please , it is best to use t i'-ccording to the directions on the wrapper , which will also teach you the new way of washing.
