Falrmount Park MiiHt Stay.
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.

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.

Chrintiun Perfection.
This was the subject treated by the Rev.
W. H. W. Hecs yesterday at Broadway
church. 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.
The singing was most excellent and the
choir was alded-bv the cultured voice of Miss
May Oliver. Colonel Tulle.vs played the

They Stmtt't Go Thirsty.
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. "

How a Cook Got a Wife and Coin.
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
