It seems to bo understood among the mem bers of the Omaha Kowlng club that they can never expect to accomplish the object of their association in Cut-Off lake. There are two feet more of water there now than over before , and yet the weeds come up eo hlph as to make it Impossible to row * through them. In the opinion of Mr. Hudson at least S'iOOO would bo required to dredge the lake.nnd that , pur- haps , would have Its effect but for a couple of years , when the same expense would again have to be incurred. The financial condition of the club is not such as to warrant this periodical outlay. When there is a cer tainty of a motor line to Lake Manawa , which fact will bo determined In n few day.s , the club will decide as to whether or not It will build Its house nt that place. Shooting Practice. To-day and Monday there will bo a gen eral practice ot the Omaha Oun nnd Le- fovre clubs at the now grounds , by way of preparation for the forthcoming tournament.

An amicable diilcrencu of opinion ex isted between ttio hymnbook comraittco aud the Sunday school hrmubook com mittee , nnd they desired the synod to de fine the authority of the standing com mittee. The decision was that all publications concerning the doctrinal teachings of the church must first bo approved by thu general synod. The hymnbook publishing committee was declared to have no au thority to alter or amuiui the subject mat ter prepared by any other standing com- niittco until so ordered by the general synod. A proposition from the United synod of the south asking for the appointment of a committee to act with a similar com mittee on their part to secure not only a common service , but a common hymn book , was referred to the standing com mittee on common order of service.

Rceser , ol Polo , 111. , made the opening praj'or. The consideration of the remaining resolution in the nome mission report was resumed and the en tire report adopted. The unfinished business of the publication society claimed attention , and resolutions of the report of that board , which were unfav orable to the publication of a Lutheran cyclopedia were still further discussed oy Rev. Svlvanus Stall nnd Rev. T. W. Con rad , D.D. Dr. Conrad was in favor of publishing the work because it is needed by our families and ministers on general princi ples. Any church needs such a work. The Lutheran moat of all , because of its ago and numbers and the numerous countries in which she is found. Also because - cause the use of EO many languages in this country and the rapidly increasing anglicised population arising from this source. Other cyclopedias and theologi cal dictiouarics misrepresent the Luther an church , and to publish a cyclopedia of our own is the only way to prevent the pcrpctuatfou of these mistakes , i'ho doctor fca 6 many in stances of how "he Imd often been obliged to correct these misappre hensions m bis association with leading men in other churches. Ho hoped that thn timidity manifested by some of the brethren would not bo felt by all. Inasmuch , as under the instruction of thu society the board had gone on and had prepared a plan for the work , a halt should not be callcU at this time. The book might not ] pay immediately , but we need books that do not pay. He referred to the other great works , such as "Schmidt's Dograatik , " that had not brought great money returns , out wore still of incalculableyaiiiQ to the church. He. went on to say that few men pos sessed the necessary qualifications to be the editor. I'rovideacb sometimes brings such men forth. Fpurjuars ago I would not have known where to find a man Ht for this work A man who is put upon the track will novur leave it until becomes comes successfully to the conclusion of the work. Hero he pointed to Rev. Syl- vanns Stall , giving the reasons why Mr. Stall would be able to obtain the co operation of leading men in ail branches of the church , and saying farther : What if it docs cauio great expense ? We hare tbo money , and this would be the best use wo can make of it. Do not bo afraid to venture. Where is your faith and your hope ? The publication society is the only one that is able to do this work. A bold venture is half the victory. Rev. Mr. Stall bald that he had no per sonal interest in the matter , Ho did not know whether lie could accept the posi tion of editor , and wished the decision to be reached \vithout anyone being influ enced oy thinking of him. Rev. Dr. rlaum replied to Dr. Conrad , calling attention to the fact that during tlio sessions ot the synod , whenever there was a disposition to object to the action of any board , sober second thought con vinced the synod that the board was right. They had Riven mature thought to these matters , nnd therefore , follow ing this precedent , the ucllou of the board should be sustained. After further remarks by Air. Stn.ll , Mr. II. S. Itnuur. the superintendent of the publication house , and Mr. Joseph Stulb , treasurer of the society , the resolutions were approved and the entlro report tvdoptcd. The committee on revision of constitu tion of tbo publication society presented their report , which embodied a now con stitution , which was discussed article by article.

In the United States circuit court yester day morning the case of Ayrcs vs. the Slomaii brothers was on hearing before Judge Dtindy.niSTHICT niSTHICT COUNT. Henry A. Iddings commenced suit yes terday morning against J. A. llorbach , Saliio Horbach and Sophia Ran. He claims that the defendants tiled in 18o9 , upon the northwest quarter of sec. 15 , township 15 , range 13 , by virtue of the preemption nctoflSil. This land , at that time , as shown by the maps , was platted as the Omaha City com pany's addition to Omaha. It is alleged that Horbach caused the stakes of the plaiting to be pulled and caused the same to bo roplatted as Horbach's tirst addition to Omaha , which is now located north of Nicholas nnd east of Eighteenth streets. It includes lots six , seven , eight , nine and ten , of the Omaha City company's property , which now comprises lots thirty , thirty-one , thirty-two , thirty-three . ot llorbach's ad dition. Several alleged illegal transfers were made , notably to a man named Toavitt and another named Raltbrty in stead of to James C. Mcgeath. Finally the property was reconvened to Mcgeatn nnd now the plaintiff'ask.s that Horbnch bo compelled to disclose the identity of lots six , seven , eight , nine , ton and bo prevented from disposing of the same until the matter can be adjudicated in the courts. An Important suit was filed yesterday afternoon in the district court by Parko Godwin , in favor of Samuel 1. Valentino , one of the clerks of the auditor's ollico of thn Union Pacific and against the citv of Omaha. It is for $15,000damages. Val entino who is a young manhas been dis abled for life from injuries sustained by a defective sidewalk on the corner of Farnam and Twenty-seventh streets. At that intersection on the night of the last 17th of March , there wis a dangerous hole in the side walk at the place mentioned , occasioned by the partial removal of a plank a short time before. In going homo that night , Valentine stopped on the end of the plank and was thrown forward , on his side , over the curb into the street. Ho sustained an injury in tbe right ankle and the same has now extended to his thigh , and surgical exports claim that it will result in permanent injury. It is al leged that the dangerous walk was known to the city and that one of the city otlicers had been of- licially notified of its existence. Val entino is now compelled to use crutches. Dr. Sicilian's case against jeweler Jonascn on the corner of Thirteenth and Harney streets was commenced yester day morning before Judge Uroll' . Jona- sen was robbed some time ago. Ho had Dr. Sloman suspected of being im plicated in the robbery. The latter now brings suit to recover $10,000 damages. S. S. Hardy commenced suit in the district court yesterday for the enforce ment of a mechanic's lien for $170 on the propertv of Mrs. Lucy Hayes. Patrick McEvoy began divorce pro ceedings against his wife Margaret on the grounds of adultery.

Judge McCulloch yesterday gave George Hiloy a judgment against Henry Brown for $700 for damages by a per sonal assault. THE CONTRACTOR. TALKS. C. K. Fanning Snys Ho Is Saving the City $1,1OO Kvcrr Month. "I want to say , in answer to some thing the BKK published a fowdays ago , " said Charles Fanning , of C. E. Fanning & Co. , yesterday , that the people of this city do not know that we are saving money for them iu the sweeping of the streets of the city. They don't know , but it is a fact , just the same. The BKI : says our bill for last month's sweeping $1,700 ought to bo investigated by the board of public w orks. If it should be investi gated , tills is what will bo found. We are sweeping 1,881,200 square yar.U in four sweepings. This costs the city $1,071.20. The last contract swept only 1,179,000 square yards , nearly 700,000 square yards less than wo sweep now , at a cost to the city of $1,708.50. or $1)1.91 ) more than wo get for sweeping 700,000 square yards more than ho ever swept. On a basis of 1.881,200 square yards , the saving to tlie citv per month is 91,117.51 , or if 13,770 per year. And } then ' wo have millercd more from dirt upon the street from careless grad ers and builders than any contractor over did before , and wo have had no as sistance ) from the city in the enforcement of ordinances to keep the dirt from being so disposed of , " IWOWNEIjI * Co'.MMKNCEMBNT.

TUB LONG AND 81IOKT ILYULu A Uctroltcr Think * U Will IJo lie- rinnlctl. - Phllo Parson ? , of Detroit , is at the A Pnxton , Ho is ncconipntilod by his daughter , Miss Parsons , whose lirsl visit has recently been made to the Pacific coast. Mr. Parsons Is interested some what in Omaha realty , and believes iu the future of the Onto city. Ho said : "Tho best iiidiiiatlon of the prospects of your city is In the faces of men whom I see in your hotels. I see gentlemen hero from every quarter of tlio country , and I Iliul that nearly all of them who nro known at homo as careful Investors nnd shrewd business men are placing their money in real otato. The remit is they will Improve their properties if enough improvements arc not made by persons who permanent ly reside thero. They have bought to jell , of course , but they will not allow their property to lie unim proved if they cannot sell at a profit without tlio erection of buildings. Whoa you get brick and stone structures on property it has something more than speculative value. There is tangible worth about it which cannot be taken away. There is also the fact that for every brick or stone or stick of timber somebody's moiioy bus been paid to some contractor and every contractor has paid somebody $3.50 or sfy.W ) per day which has quickly found its way into the circu lating medium of the city. " Mr. Parsons believes that the inter state commerce law will bo modified by the coming congress. Ho has found such radical opposition to it on tlm Pacific slope , and especially to the long and short haul clause , which opposition pur- vnde.s the entire west , that be conclude : ! y it will be Impossible to retain that clause. 4 The nock Island Magnate * * . R. It. Cable , president of the Chicago , Rock Island * Pacific railroad.throo dircc tors of the roud , and W.R.Wileox.tlrst vice president of the Jacksonville , Tnluhas- see & Key West railroad , wore the passengers - gers of a special train which arrived in Omaha at 11 o'clock last night. The train was mauo up of two conches , being the private car of Mr. Cable and also the private car of Mr. Wilcox. The train halted at the depot but two minutes , and proceed on its rapid run to Chicago. The party have visited Kansas City and Den ver only. They madu a rapid run from Denver , leaving there yesterday morn , ing. The train is provided with all need ful accommodations for a long trip , carrying both day and night crews. Mr. Cable stated that the Rock Island roads in the west were doing nil in creasing business , and that everything was found by tlio piroctors to bo iu llrst- class shape. NOTKS. The break in the track of the Omaha road above Blair , where 1,000 foot was washed out by the recent heavy storm , has been repaired , but some anxiety was entertained last evening regarding the effect of the copious rainfall of yesterday. A mooting ; of the freight agents was held in this city yesterday. Among the attendants were Messrs. Monroe of the Union Pacific , Miller of the B. & M. , Garrett of tbe Missouri Pacific , and Atwood - wood of the Rock Island's Kansas lines. The object of the meeting was a settle ment of live stock tariffs on a basis satis factory to all the lines. Kxcursion to York and great auction sale of lots for the benefit of York college of the Nebraska Wesleyan university. Wo call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of sale of college lots at York duringcommonccment exercises. Juno 115th to 18 , on page 8. The special auction sales to be the loth nnd 10th. Now is the time to investigate. Consider and determine where to send your boys A and girls to school the coming year. We J hope that parents having children whom they desire to educate , and thus leave them a legacy far bettor than money or lands , will try and attend tlio coming exorcises of thu college and judge for themselves an to the management and ollioieuoyof the school. York ofl'ers special advantages as a place for the education of young men nnd young ladies. Among those are low rates of tuition and boarding which is an item of economy wo should all recognize. Then there are no saloons within twenty- live miles ; and this is an argument which will not fail to have a great influence with parents having toy a in school , York is also a city of churches as well us schools. Its church buildings are large and fine and well filled. The M. E. church has a membership of over six hundred and fifty. Tlio whole com munity is always ready to help the stu dents , and throw around them a con tinued good influence in morals and manners. Heretofore York has been somewhat restricted in regard to its railroad ad vantages , but with throe new trunk lines which will be in operation by the begin ning of the next school year , there is hardly another town in Nebraska HO centrally located , that lias bettor rail road facilities. President R. N. McKaig with the utlicicnt aid of the other mem bers of the present faculty have done nilcctual work for the past year. Ho has also by hiscnergy and enthusiasmhelped the board of trusteed to raise the debt which has been accumulating on the college , and secure much for an endow ment ; among the latter is the 130 acres of land which will now become n part of the city. Thoie lots are finely located on high ground and within a few blocks of thu college campus. Again wo say , wo advise - * vise all who can to visit Vork , attend the ( , commencement exercises and purchase some lots , for by so doing they can save their excursion faro unit entertainment , and obtain property which will rapidly increase ! in value and also helps to endow one of thu best educational institutions in the state.
