There is no longer any question as to the designs of Wright , Baldwin & Huldino in the Fuirmount park matter. Papers have been fllcd In the superior court by this firm against n party who years ago had , or is supposed to have had , a certain claim In that property. It is understood that this person would not ai > - 'pcar to contest the claim of the linn , and the case would go by default. This would fur nish still further supposublo grounds upon which to establish the right of ownership to bo in the hands of parties other than theclty. . If such had been the purpose of thcso gentlemen - men , which seems more than likely , they will have to adopt some other method of opera tion , for the city counollmen arc not asleep. They will sco that this move is checkmated and will undoubtedly take such steps as will protect , so far as legal counsel is concerned , the Interests of the city. The common council Is the representative of the populace , nnd It Is expected to take such steps as shall secure the possession * of what is legally and morally theirs. No flaw in the tltlo of the city to this property Is be lieved to exist , except in the minds of the gentlemen referred to. But if there bo a pos sible technicality by the means of which the park cnn bo wiestcd from the city's posses sion it should bo known , and whatever legal assistance is necessary to secure this should bo secured. The city council had a private conference Saturday evening in regard to the matter , and steps will bo taken to sco that the city's Interests are fully protected In court.

Mr. Ilocs Believes In Perfection Another Move For Gobbling Fnlrinonnt Park A Confi dent Saloon Man. A HUH Hunt For ORB. The present charter of the pus company expires February ! l , 1W > 9. It will then have run Its twenty years. The effort was re cently iniulo to have the charter .renewed , but It raised such n stornrsf Indignation that the protoial | WIIH quietly dropped. Nothing bus bcrn Bald about It lately , but It seems that the trim company lias not been ns dor mant an the citizens have generally Mip- poscd. . It appears that the company has been ijulctly laying UH plans for a renewal of the charter , without any public discussion. There have been several propositions mudc to the council , and the consideration of thcso has been Informal and noiseless. Of course the council would not for a moment think of renewing the charter on the same terms ns Imvu hern In existence. This city has been paying 1.50 a thousand for gas , and a poor quality at that , fur too long a tune already. There must bo somu reduction , of course. The company is anxious to pet u renewal of Its charter by malting as small a reduction as possible. The company evidently thinks It can get its renewal on more favorable terms by quirkly arranging with the council than by having any open public discussion and having to satisfy the citizens at large. The company lays great stress upon its offer to make a reduction which shall go into Imme diate effect , thus saving the citizens the extra expense between now and the termination of the present charter , a year from next Feb ruary. The citizens should not bo put to Icep , nor allow the city council to bo made 'rowsy. It is learned that there has been rather a 'uvorubla ' feeling on the part of the council to enow the present charter , or rather to give i new charter to the present company , in - omideratlon of the company making some eduction in its price , the reduction to go nto effect at once , .lust what the proposed eduction is to bo does not seem to bo n mater - , er fo'r the public. Jt is kept very secret. It s the very thing that the public want to ; now about , and the reticence on this point Avakens suspicion. There are reasons given 'or favoring the present company rather than ; lvu a charter to a new company. The old ompany is L-oniK > sud of citizens of Council Jlufls , who have large property interests ere. The city council feels like favoring its wu citizens , and should when it can do so consistently. Then it would be better to , llow the present company to have a. charter , lecatlse it Would avoid the necessity of tear- ng up htrects to lay hew mains. These mints have been urged lately with much 'orce , and the council is reported to have > cen very near the point of granting a re- icwal. The recent company can afford to . 'urnlsh ' gas cheaper than any new company , which would have to create a new plant. If t would give the city and its citizens as 'avohiblo terms as now companies would > ffer there would be a feeling favorable to granting the charter to them. The council has been further urged to do his by the assurance ou the part of the gas company that u guarantee should be given hat if thoru should arise any new process of nunufncturc , or if there should bo any csbciiinc of'.expense . , the price should be still 'urther lowered. With such assurance the mincll hnS"come vpry. close to deciding the natter , nnd jmrhaps the public would have neon KurprlscuHionm morning on rcadingthat ho chat tcr had Mii-wi granted. One incident s said to. huveVaiibcd delay. Mr. Wright , mo of the companjvis supposed to bo con- 'crncd in an attempt to contest the title of he city to the beautiful Fuirmount par ! : . -jome of the aldermen looked upon this ot- : ack as against the interests of the city , and did not feel like favoring a citizen who would bo concerned in any such attempt. As for the augur plum promise of possibly , 'urther ' reductions of price in the dim future , t would bo well to bear in mind that the old charter contained Just such a provision , and 't has been a dead promise for nearly twenty years. The old charter provides that if "any discovery or improvement bo made in the preparation of gas from coal or other mate rials , either fluid or solid , by which the cost of making the same will bo materially di minished , and the same shall bo adopted in other principal cities of the country , then , in such case , the company aforesaid shall intro duce such discovery or improvements in the said city of Council Bluffs , and make such deduction in the price of gas us shall bo effected oy such discovery or improvement. " The gas company cannot have complied ivith this requirement very far , the present l > rico being 'l.f > 0 , while other cities are get ting better gas for one-third of this price. The rltlrcns should be on the watch. The ouncil should take no action without giving the citizens a uhanco to be heard. Always at the Front.

Said the speaker : "While men seek perfection in art , science , philosophy , and in all departments of business , shall we , who uro followers of the Nazarcnc , bo less diligent in the quest of Christian perfection 1 This doctrine .has been grossly misrepre sented , and greatly misunderstood. Lot us in the time allotted to this service , seek to know what the perfection is that God requires ut our hands. First , negatively Christian perfection Is not physical perfection. A blinder or deaf man may bo as much of a Christian as one not so afflicted. To bo a perfect Christian is not to bo necessarily perfect in our bodies. Physical infirmity does not pre clude Christian perfection in your lifo or mine. Paul had an Infirmity of the flesh. U. It is not mental perfection. I may love God perfectly , and yet my reasoning pro cesses may not bo always correct. I may make mistakes in my judgment , and hence mistakes In my conduct will naturally follow. God does not require that we servo him with o perfect head , but , with u perfect heart. 8. It Is not perfection in conduct. John madu a grave mistake in bowing down before Cod's messenger and beginning to worship him , supposing him to be Jesus Christ. A mistake in Judgement led to n mistake in practice. If John could bo holy and make Mich mistakes In practice cannot woi Our lives may bo full of mistakes , and at tbo same time our hearts bo perfect before God. 4. It is not the rendering of a perfect serv ice to God. There U a great - be tween a i > erfcrct heart and n perfect service. ( Jno Is attainable the other Is not. One is re quired the other Is not. 1 send my child to tire store for six articles of merchandize. Her heart is perfect to do that service. She does it cnccrfully and In love , but when she re turns from the store she only brings llvo of the things bent for she forgot one. The heart was ferfcct , but the service Imperfect. God only requires the service of u perfect heart 1 Chronicles , xxvill:0. : 5. U Is not absolute perfection. God only is absolutely perfect. His perfection cannot bo added unto , not diminished. His perfec tion is undurlvcd. Ho m perfect In himself. Wo only are perfect in Him. 0. It is not angelic perfection. Wo are not and never can be iingcls , and the perfection required of us Is not the same us theirs each In Ms own uphrre. 7. It U not Adnmlc perfection , Adam was perfect , by creation. We , if ut all , by re dumption. His , the perfection of ail unfallen being ; ours the perfection of afalll-n being- His , th/o perfection of u spotless * oul in anoint- ' ' mortal1' .body ; ourktho , perfcjctUm of-a M r . % " - - spiritual nature left In ruins by sin , and clothed with a body full of disease awaiting the hour of its dissolution. 8. It in not exemption from temptation , Christ "was tempted in all points like ns we ure , yet without sin , " the servant cannot be expected to bo above his Lord. The | > cnker here | > olnted out the difference between temp tation and sin , and defined the difference be tween the thought of the head nnd the thought of the heaj-t. 0. It does not deliver us from the possibil ity of sinning. God's grace will never rob us of our moral freedom and make us mere ma chines to'bo acted upon by a power outside and above ourselves , only I may or may not , M I choose , do wrong. Itls not the new birth. H is not thn perfection of sinners , but the per fection of s.iints ; nor is it the reclamation of backsliders. Let us nee what it Is. II. Positively Christian perfection Is : 1. Perfect dcvotcracnt to God. His service com mands our nil. Money , time , talents , our selves. We live for Him ; we think for Him ; wo love forlllm ; wo sacrifice for Him , 3. It Is n perfect faith In Jesus Christ , not as the Saviour of all men , but a faith In Christ as n personal saviour , by which He be comes unto us "wisdom , righteousness , sanc- tlliculion and redemption. " II. It Involves perfect heart purity. A pure love , u pure purpose , u pure desire and n pure fountain , out from which shall ilow the stream of our lives. t 4. 1 Us perfect love. Head Matthew v13 - 40 and see the fullest explanation of "Perfect Love. " Love supreme for God , more than the right eye or right hand , letting go of sin ful pleasures for His sake. Pcfcrring His will to our own. Love dominating , love con trolling. Loving God with all the heart and our neighbor as oursulves. Loving enemies , nnd praying for persecutors. Thills perfect love. " III. How to obtain it. 1. Have n conviction of your need. 2. Make un entire consecration of all to His service. Family , business , reputation , future pros pects , yourself -all given to Him. . ' ) . Faith in His power to save , at once and now. Faith grasps the blessings she desires. The evidences of this high state of grace were dwelt upon by the speaker , and the ncoplo exhorted to holy living.

Notwithstanding the recent decisions of the federal courts of the state , the leading saloon men of this city are by no means ready to give up the battle. In a conversation which a BKE man had with ono o'f them yes terday , the animus of the majority was plainly revealed. "It rather looks as though the grip on the saloons will begin to choke pretty soon. Don't you think so ! " ventured the news- gatherer. "Yes , and no , " was .the reply. "You see this place is different from almost any other in the state , if they think they are going to stop the sale of beer and whisky in this city , they will find u bigger job on their hands than they have ever tackled. In the first place , a very great majority of the eiliens are opposed to it. and you'know well enough the power of public sentiment. In the second end place , those in oftico are openly in favor of the saloons. It is an actual fact tnat it is almost impossible to get papers served on the liquor men. Thirdly , the members of the bench in this district are not all as rank prohibitionists as they might bo , nnd you can imagine the re sult when the cases are finally dragged into court. Hut we will take it for granted that the cases arc finally dis | > osed of in court , nnd the saloons arc cloned. Then do you sup pose the end would come ? If you do. just cull to mind the geographical location of this city. It is right across the river from Omaha , which is in a license state. The sit uation is precisely the same in regard to Davenport and Hock Island. Dealers doing business on the other side of the line will send their teams across daily and supply their regular customers. Men living right in this city will take orders , which will be filled by outside dealers. I can go into busi ness In a dry goods box in any of these alleys and move every few days , one day here , the next in n tent somewhere else. You need not fret about there being no liquor sold in the city , for it will bo as plenty ns ever. They can't help themselves , oud they will find it out after a while.

Modesto ( Cal. ) News : North precinct , which is usually a quiet , orderly portion tion of this county , has , of late , been scandalized by the doings of u recent arrival named Stanley , who is a young man of twenty-five or thirty years of ago , suave manners , glib tongvio aiul pleasant address. Stanley made his debut in this county n few months since and ore long ingratiated himself into the peed graces of. a number of the law- abiding und unsuspecting citizens of tlmt locality , among whom was the fam ily of u prominent and highly respected farmer , John Wright. About six weeks since Stanley had made such ft favor able impression upon the bixtcon- year-old daughter of Mr.Vright , ns well as the parents , that they were married in San Joaquin county by u minister who is generally known in that part of the county as the "Cowboy Preacher.- . The gay young Lothnrld represented himself as being possessed of moans , but tlmt most of his money was-on time deposit in n Stockton .bank and not 'available eli sight draft , und ' a.riumb'or of apecu- lations which he desired , to nidko were TffftMi1' ' fl irV * * , if-1 paid for in notes nwloi-fiod by his futlicr- n-law. The recklessness of the * neeu- ntions and the immediate sale of the iroperttec to other parties at half the lurehase pi-tee , caused Stanley s actioiiH ind pretensions to > bo looked upon with uspfeion , but nothing dollnito was one in the mattcr-until about ten days go , when ho loft JOB Stockton , as ho faimcd. upon business , from which ilaco" hd w'lote his young vlfo that uLr telegram from his mother at Los Angeles called dm to her dcuthfiutl and that his stay rom homo would t S longer than origin- , lly intended. The night prior to his eparture he gailled possession of his wile's handsome gold watch and , while eying with it succeeded in breaking he crystal and when ho left took the vateh to Stocton to have a now crystal nit in it. In another inmnicr he pro- ured more of his wife's jewelry and do- amped with that also. Stanley was last icard.of in Stocton on November 'JO , vhero ho draw what money ho had on deposit , iifRtl amounting to about $2,800 nd since that time has not been heard if. His statement that he had gone o Los Angeles is not credited , is his former references to ils homo and parents located them in Centucky. The amount of notes on- loi'sed for the wayward scapegrace by r. Wright will aggregate $1,000. Wo inderstand that officers are on the look- ) ut for Stanley , and it is to bo hoped hat ho will meet with the summary ustice he so richly deserves. flould'H Magnificent Mansion. New York Journal : When Jay Gould 'oturns from his European pleasure trip le will step into one of the finest and nest elaborately decorated houses in 'few ' York. It is has old residence at 599 Mfth avenue , just above the Windsor lotel , but so changed and improved that r. Gould and his family , who arc in jecting castles in Spain , may well 1m- igino that tlio.y are lookup at ono of ho most beautiful of the old-world man sions when they inspect their newly ittcd homo. "I expect to live and die in this louse , " ho remarked on one occasion , 'and I am going to have things to suit nc. " On the day Mr. Gould sailed for Eu- ope ho was at the house until nearly .ho hour for his departure , and ho glanced back at the somber fi-ont as the carriage whirled him away. The vestibule of the practically now evidence is said to be the finest in the city and probably in this country. The "mil is unusually wide and deep , and ; he impression it gives ono upon entcr- ng it is one of mo t luxurious richness. The walls are laid with heavy English oak , especially imported for the pui-- lose , and Spanish leather of a dark crimson shade. This is trimmed with wrought iron and bronze , giving the whole a solid and exceedingly rich ap- icarance. The floor is laid with Roman mosaic and several , rugs of great value ire strewed upon it. The hall doors lire very massive and are made of Eng lish oak , richly carved in unique de signs. The largo'windows are studded with opalescent glass and the light streams through in many tinted shades. The coiling is of oak , and in the cen ter is a largo and. costly oil painting representing an allegorical scene. This is a feature of the decorations through out the house , the suggestion which came from Mr. Gould himself. It was liis wisli that in the center of each ceil ing in the principal rooms a valuable oil painting should bo inlaid , and this lias been done. The grand main stair case , which leads tip from the vestibule , is especially line , 'atid is carved in the most elaborate way. The newel posts Is a work of art in itself , a round and massive affair inlaid with pearl. A striking feature of the house is ono of the lincht skylights over made by Hayes. [ t is "OxUo feet , and is directly over the main staircase , thus shedding a flood , of rich light into the vestibule. The skylight is composed of opales cent glass , and directly below it is a su perb sash of stained glass of delicate colors. Extending down through the center of the stainyay is a beautiful chandelier of brass , in imitation of ivy twined around the central stem with electric lights made in the shape of buds and FURNITURE !
