Ycnrlr Ilcport of tlio Y. M. O. A.
On the 1st of May of last year wo wcro
rowdcd out of our narrow quarters on
North Main street anil moved to the rooms
hat wo now occupy. It was n qucs-
Ion at first whether the work
lould ba made a success on
ho third floor , but more space brought
o us more people. However , the rooms
ivcro not attractive ; great bare walls
made them look like vacated stores , nnd
hero was nothing homelike in their up-
icar.ance. A few days before Now Year's
n improvement committee , consisting of
hirtccn ladies , was formed for the pur
pose of papering , painting nnd carpeting
lie social rooms and parlor. A canvass
ivas made , principally among ladies and
foung men , nnd § 200 secured. Nearly
ivcry teacher in the city contributed to
his fund. The paper hangers gave their
goods at cost and did excellent work.
Thrco room" wcro handsomely papered ,
MO wood work painted and a now carpet
nit down in the parlor. The rooms were
reopened on Now Year's day by a recop-
ion and between 1)90 ) and 400 persons
called. The growth of the wot'k since
Now Year's has been remarkable. Each
evening the rooms , including the gymna
sium , are thronged with young men.
Our rooms have again become too small ,
tnd the fact that wo must soon hnvo u
building of our own to successfully carry
on the work.is evident. To properly
lo the work now upon our hands ,
need twice the room wo
low have , and oven this would
give no chance for enlargement. We arc
ramped in every branch of the work for
want of room. Lot every person of _ this
growing city say , upon reading this , " 1
iviil do my part toward providing for : v
suitable building in which the young
men may carry on their trrcat work , "
and the time will not bo long when an
elegant building may stand as a living
iiionument in our city , welcoming the
.housands of young men to its privileges.
There is no place in this city ollering
such a pleasant social resort as the Y. M.
C. A. Youmr men in largo numbers
gather at the parlors and spend the even-
ng in song , games and conversation.
Tho-literary and social has been post
poned until wo can have more room , and
: ho large hall is used regularly aa a ,
jymnashim.
The gymnasium , although not com
plete , has apparatus for developing all
the-muscles ot the body , and young men
by exorcising have been greatly beno-
ttttcd.
A debating club has recently benn or
ganized. Its practical fruits may already
be seen among the fellows.
Of the boys' work wo can give but a
brief account , but it indeed is a hopeful
feature of the association. It was started
n September. A few boys who had at
tended some of tlic literary and religious
meetings were invited. They came and
wcro so pleased that they went and in
vited their friends. Steadily that branch
has grown until now more than a hun-
ilred names are upon the roll.
Tickets are issued to every regular at
tendant. The ticket admits the bearer to
the gymnasium from 4UO : to 5:00 : onch af
ternoon , and the boys' meeting on Fri-
dav evening from 7 to 8 o'clock. On
Friday evening half an hour is spent
in gymnasium exercise , after which all
are seated and the leader speaks to the
boys upon some subject , selected a week
before , and asks the boys questions about
the lesson.
Only practical and biblical topics have
been presented. During the spring and
summer months the boys will take Sat
urday afternoon rambles with their leader
to points of interest in the vicinity of the
city.Four
Four public entertainments worepivcn.
One evening of readings by Mrs. i\l. H.
Sears , illustrated by tableaux. Ono an
evening of readings by Miss Nellie
Hatcher , assisted by n male quartette.
Two wore musical entertainments given
by the McGibony family and Madame
Fry and her daughters. A course of four
scientific lectures by Dr. E. W. Fish has
just closed.
While the social , physicial and intel
lectual departments ot our work have re
ceived much attention , the religious work
has been auly carried on. As a result
thirteen young men have professed con
version and cloven of them united with
churches. '
The gospel service is held each Sun
day afternoon at 4 o'clock , the young
men's meeting on Sunday afternoon at
6 o'clock and the young men's Bible
study on Saturday night at 8)0. : ! )

pastors have been very glad to greet them.
Financially wo have had a good year.
Wo are not free from dobt.yet wo ewe less
by nearly $300 than wo did a year ago.
Mr. C. (1. Baldwin , state secretary ofY.
M. C. A.'s of lown , aided us greatly in
our canvass for funds.
If our friends stand by ns the coming
year as they did the last with their
money , we hope to close the year free of
debt.
debt.Our
Our facilities for getting work for men
are not what they ought to be , yet places
were secured for twelve young men , nnd
seventeen now comers wore directed to
good boarding places in private families.
All our work has been done in rooms
the entire dimensions of which are 88 by
25 feet. It will be plainly seen that wo
are crowded. This city it just teeming
with young men of whom mnltitudos
could bo reached if we had ample room
and accommodations. To compete with
opposing lorcos wo must have everything
iirtit class. We can't ' nflbrd to neglect the
boys or the young men andnllow them to
drift into bad or oven questionable places
for booial resort , hpnco wo uno the im
portance of moving soon toward the
building tor them u permanent homo ,
Our thanks are duo and extended to all
who have aided us by their money ; to the
city press for free copies of the Nonpareil ,
BKK , Globe , Herald and forsnaco in their
columns ; to a number of publishers of re
ligious and scientific literature for free
copies of their publications , and to our

There Is : i ripple of discord between
Postmaster Cramer and his bondsmen
as to who is to bo his deputy. As
the story goes , when Cramer procured
his bondsmen it was with the under
standing and promise that they ( his
bondsmen ) should name the deputy ,
which they did , naming J. B. Blake.
Alter retaining Mr. Blake until ho be
came familiar with his work' , he takes
his brother , Don Cramer , to assist him ,
hence the ripple , which promises to ne

A number of complaints are being
hoard among those who last fall gave
orders hero to a traveling tree man ,
representing a DCS Aloincs nursery. The
written orders as signed by the pur
chasers contain cut-throat provisions
by which the customer agrees to waive
all right to exemption of personal prop-
city from execution. The customer also
agrees , in case his order is not filled , to
accept other varieties of trees as a substi
tute , and in cose the trees do not grow
they can buy some more at half rate , but
are obliged to pay for what is ordered on
delivery. It is said that many substitutes
are being made , yearling grape vines be
ing substituted for three-year-olds , and
stock being not as represented in many
particulars. The agent is said to bo quite
sharp , and holds the buyers down strictly
and technically to the promise to pay ,
while lie allows himself greater latitude
in fulfilling his part of the contract. It
serves the Council Binds people right.
There are located hero and in this vicinity
reliable nurserv men , and there seems no
reason why tno patronage should bo
given to the itinerants from other places
so long as Council Bluifs has such reliable
dealers In this line who are here the year
round.

The Operetta.
The "Dress Rehearsal" given at the
opera house last evening proved an en
joyable entertainment. As an operetta
it differed greatly from the ono given
Monday evening. It was not so light
and niry , and had a little less of the
spectacular feature. The mttsio was
stronger and less jingling. The partici
pants were mostly young ladies , rather
than children , Their voices were brought
out in sweet btrains , and their costumes
were varied , bright and pleasing , Hoth
of these operettas were prepared under
the direction of Airs. O'Neill. There
must have boon 'much time and patience
spent in drilling , developing and arrang
ing , and while she shuns prominence
ami publicity in connection with those
entertainments , to her morethnn anyone
else is duo the credit of their success.
To-niirht a qunurillo party is to bo given
in the Ahihonio hall in connection with
the fair. ,
All the arrangements and features of
the fair seem to bo meeting with the ap
proval and Jinanoial support of the pub
lic , and the sisters of St. Francis academy ,
will doubtless realize a largo amount as
the result.

Courtship i\y Mall.
Dr. James Bulls , of Onawa , Iowa , stole
n march on his frio.ndp yesterday. Ho
arrived hero the night before , nnd slopped
at the Ogdcn house , Ho evidently ex
pected to meet somo'one hero , and yes
terday morning ho went down to the
Northwestern dopot'lo Jjco If the expected
friend did not arrive on the morning
train. While waiting ho made inquiries
of ono of the employes of the Ogdcn , nnd
was surprised to learn tli.it the person ho
was waiting for hadfarlMvcdattho Ogdcn
the night before , coming in on the same
train which brought Inrii to the city. Ho
hurriedly pot Into a carriage and dashed
back to the hotel , and there found the
person , who was no other than Aliss
Libbio E. Fcssenden. of St. Louis , Alich. ,
whom ho was to meet and wed hero. Ho
summoned a minister , Rev. Dr. Cooley ,
of the Baptist church , and the ceremony
was soon happily performed. The bride
whom ho has thus taken to himself was a
cousin of his first wife , and although ho
had not met her for years , and she had
outgrown his recollection , so far as rec
ognising her features was concerned , ho
hr.d for years kept up an acquaintance
with her by correspondence. As n result
of his courtship by mail , the two ap
pointed this as the meeting place. She
had seen him about the hotel , nnd he had
seen her , but neither recognized the
other. After the ceremony the happy
pair started at once for Onawa , where
they will bii cordially welcomed by the
surprised friends.
More Street Cnrn , More Track.
A move was made yesterday towards
securing better street ral'way ' facilities
lor Council Bluffs. Yesterday Park Com
missioners J. J. Brown and A. C. Gra
ham took in their carriages Air. J. J.
Bums , general storekeeper of the Union
1'acillo in Omaha , and W. II. Burns , who
has had charge of the street railway , and
who has recently been appointed general
manager and freight agent for the Union
Pacific in this city. These gentlemen
were given n drive about the Hty , and
its extent and improvements pointed out
to them. Air. W. 11. Burns expressed his
surprise at the quantity and quality of
Council Blull's. He had never taken in
the city before , and it was a MirprUc
party to him. The park commissioners
&howcd to these gentlemen the necessity
of running ti street car line on South
First street to Graham avenue and to
Fairmount park , then around to Six
teenth avenue to connect with the Alain
street line. The need of bolter cars and
more cars wns also impressed upon the
visitors. Mr. Burns was favorably im-
picssed with the scheme and promised
that ho would lay the matter before other
of the oflicials , and thi'.t Superintendent
Dorranee , who is now in the west , would
on his return take a look at the city and
its needs.
Let Tax i'ay'orsJSmlle.
There is ono encouraging outlook for
tax payers. It is in regawlto the amount.
required from the pcqplefor school pur
poses President Allans has been figur
ing through the limmpus , jtnd the pros
pect is good for a remarkable casing up
of the burden to be lifted'this ' year. The
board figures on $30,000 a year for teach
ers , but not being able , , to foretell ex
actly how much money will be realized
from the levy for this purpose , the board
has always made an allowance for shrink
age. Instead ot their being a shrinkage
there has been for .severalyears a sur
plus in this fund. This Surplus has oc
casionally been used to help out other
funds , such as building , or contingent
expenses , when thero.Juis been some un
expected demand on such resources.
These amounts have been restored from
time to time in the teachers' fund , and
now there is quite a balance there. Air.
Atkins thinks that by economy and care
ful figuring the board will be able , unle s
some unforeseen event occurs , to use this
surplus for reducing the general tax levy
for school purposes this year. It is hoped
that this reduction may reach $20,000.
At this time when taxes are high , and
many improvements to bo paid for. the
reduction of the school tax by such an
amount will bo a big relief , and one
which will be appreciated by every tax
payer.
Death of
The relatives of the man Brundage ,
who died at the city jail , arrived yester
day. From them it was learned that the
family have been living at Decatur , Neb.
About three weeks ago they concluded to

Sioux City in teams. Brundago there
took a boat , putting therein Ins black
smith tools , and started down the river
intending to meet his folks here. They
reached Omaha Friday and have been
campingthero since , awaiting his arrival.
Thcj * learned day before yesterday that
ho had been found on the bank here In an
unconscious condition , and hastened over
but arrived but u short time botoro his
death. On Tuesday ono of the relatives
took the morning train for Sioux City in

All of them magnificent } costly and useful. But at the srimc time we beg the public to understand i
matter what our competitors say ) that we arc not running tx gift enterprise. You do not pay us a fraction
of a cent for the chance to get the present. We arc selling our A. B. C. Soap cheaper to-day than we
ever did during the three years that it has been placed on the market , and consequently you get full valus
in Soap , We arc simply
ADVERTISING
our A. B. C. Soap on the most magnificent scale ever attempted by any one firm.
Three years ngo we started out to sell A. IJ. 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 marvcf
why it is not used in every home. ' '
The principal grocers throughout the Union tell s one reason why its use has not become general
is that
has not been sufficiently advertised ; and another reason is , because many people who have bought it , ti , J
not give it the necessary and intelligent attention it deserves. They did not read the directions , and
finding that it would not wash by Haying A. B. C. Soap on top of the bundle of soiled clothes , they fell
back to five cent soap.
1housandsrjt . us : "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. 3J. 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 ils 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 yea
nn array of presents which , for magnificence and usefulness , surpasses everything heretofore offered by
any one firm.
Send four cents in stamps and we will pcnd you a catalogue , which is now in course of preparation
nnd which will give you a full description of all the presents and the mode
TO OBTAIN A PRESENT
Those who have not used A. B. C. Soap , of course , will ask , "what is it ? "
A. B. C. 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
WASHIWG WITH IT , is as different from all other soaps , and the old way of washing , and is as
uuch an improvement over the old system , as traveling by railway is over that by an ox-cart. A girl of
18 , or the most delicate person , can wash
WITHOUT THE LEAST EXERTION.
\i one hour , more clothes with A. B. C. Soap , than the most robust , with the hardest work and slavish toil
i m 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
u sweet and fresh as a rose.
Remember , that while yrm can use A. B. C. Soap in anyway or manner you please , it is best to use
t't according to the directions on the \vrapper , which will also teach you the new way of washing.
Remember , also , that in order to obtain one of these presents you must save your wrappers and send
I n J to us V > v mail , during the montlij of June or December next.
