SUNDAY < IN COUNCIL BLUFFS. A Quakeress Preacher Adding to the Successful Revival. SOME OTHER POINTS OF PIETY. The BcnuntloniU Kxjicrlcnco of a Tele phone Operator Details of Mrs. McMnhon'fl Death The Need of Street Cleaning. An Earnpnt Quakeress. The Broadway Methodist church wns filled yesterday morning with an audl- once anxious to hear the celebrated Quakeress evangelist , Mrs. Frame. For the past few days this lady has been as sisting In the series of revival meetings that was begun at this church several weeks ago. During the short time that she has been hero she has created a vast amount of enthusiasm , and the church Is crowded at every meeting. At yesterday morning's service she took as her text James 1:18 : : "Blessed is the man that enduroth temptation : for when he Is tried , he shall receive the crown of life , which the Lord hath 'promised to them that love him. " Said the speaker : Everything in this world that Is worth having is born of sorrow and toil , and the more it is worth the greater the sorrow and toil pcccwsary to obtain it. It is of those engaged in the pur suit of earthly attainments that the text "Blessed Is the that speaks man en- dureth temptation. " The world says blessed is the man that has riches , power , influence , health , position , and other things of worldly honor. Not so the text. Some say "I never had any desire to dance , and I don't BOO how any ono can give himself up to such pleasure. " If that is the case you will never be rewarded for not being a dancer. If you have never been tempted to drink you will never bo re warded for not becoming a drunkard. If there Is no attraction for you in cards , there is no reward for you in not being a gambler. If you have been tempted , and surmounted it , you will receive your reward , for "Blessed Is . the man that onduroth temptation. " None will bo rewarded but those who have been tempted and have overcome it. Wo need not fear that the temptation will hurt us being tempted Is not sinning. Temptation is an enticement to evil , either with or without iv desire to yield. In cither case wo will bo rewarded if wo overcome the inducement to give way to sin. Wo do not know how much dross there is until the fire begins to burn. We need not fear that it will hurt the gold , for it will but make it shine the greater. A great many want to reap the reward without the trial. They want to be come rich without the labor. They want to bo learned , and If a few peeps into a scientific book would make them so , they would succeed very well , but they cannot endure a long course of study. They want to begin where their parents loft off. They do not want to begin at the bottom and face the cures , troubles and vicissitudes of lifo , but In that way only can they-obtain the re ward , "Blessed is the man that on duroth temptation. " If you have money , a flue homo and plenty of friendly ac quaintances , ' you think you know your friends. It'is a mid mistake. Wait until your wealth Is gone , then you will llnd out your true and tried friends. Among them all , there is none like your mother. Young ladies , don't forget your mother. Young gentlemen , don't get too old to kis your mother good night. Don't wait until those hands are folded and you stand by her grave before you show your appreciation and lovo. Show your love in life , and not in sprinkling Dowers over her grave. There is a vast difference between being saved and being rewarded. Some will barely bo saved by the skin of their teeth. It isn't the place in which wo are put , but the faithfulness with which wo fill It. I have been engaged In this work of saving souls for the past seventeen years , and thousands have como forward at our meetings. I would not change places with the queen o" England-to-day. It is sweeter to me to hear a brother say , 'Sister , you have led my child to Christ. ' than any other pleasure that could bo bestowed upon mo.If wo fill our places faithfully and endure all our temptations , wo know that wo are among those who have been declared blessed. After the conclusion of the services the church members and all the now converts took part In a consecration meeting around the altar. While these meetings have been in progress a great many new converts have made profes sions of faith , and the result has been so much more successful than was ex pected that the meetings have already been continued two weeks longer than was nt lirst intended. They will bo held throughout the present week. The at tendance is constantly increasing , and there is a prospect of oven better results than have yet boon secured. Union Abstract Co. , 230 Main st.

At the Congregational church yester day morning Rov. G.W. Crofts preached an excellent sermon on "Tho Humanity of Christ. " In his introduction ho spoke of the incarnation us a mystery , to explain - plain which or understand which was a hopeless task for any humitn mind. Be cause it could not bo understood was not , however , any reason why its truth should bo denied. It was wonderful how man could put thoughts into sound , into letters upon paper , or into signs. The sounds given forth by a speaker were not thoughts , and yet the speaker put into these bounds thoughts which stirred the heart. The letters on the written or printed page wore not thoughts , and yet thoughts were put into them , so that In the reading of them the cheek was made to turn pale , the eye to glisten , the whole nature stirred to grand deeds , moved upward toward God or dragged downward. It was a wonderful mystery ; still , there wan no ono that doubted but that it was done right along. Wonder ful it was that man could put thoughts into more sounds or in to letters or signs ; it eooinod no stranger that God should express his divinity in the human form. It was no more unnatural or strange that God could bo put Into human form than that thought could bo put into words. The purposes of Christ's humanity wore then suggested. Ono of these waste to present a perfect specimen of man hood. Whatever opinion might bo held in regard to Christ's divinity , it must bo conceded , and generally was , that ho was perfect as a man. U was dilH- cult to BOO how anyone thus acknowl edging that Christ was a perfect man could consistently deny that such a perfect man must bo of divine origin. The purpose of Buch a perfect miA , vas to elevate humanity iuto a higher'uuvl purer life. Ho was n manifcRtntlon oi divine lovo. Ho was pure , fcnd thus helped fallen humanity by a faultlcssex- ample. He offered needed consolation for the troubles of life. Ho was strong and gladly sustained those who strug gled. Man needed such a manifesta tion of God's lovo. needed a pure example - ample , needed consolation , sympathy and asslHtanco. God saw all tlio. u needs , and HO pent his Son , Jesus Christ , into this world. Sheafo loans money on real estate. Bargains in houses and lots on small cash payment.

A. of this city , has caused much sad interest to bo taken in the matter. The details of Mrs. Mc Mahon's death are given by a Tabor correspondent as follows : ot nnd soul-lmr- Tlic chapter distressing - - rowliitf accidents thnt find record In our daily patters can have no more awful death than befell Mrs. McMuhon , a highly respected widow hidy about flfty-flve years of apt1 , re siding at Tabor. Since thb dcatti of a dearly loved son who was killed this winter in Colorado rado , on u train of which ho was conductor , it was feared by her family and physician that her grief had caused iusanlty , as she seemed very despondent , On last Friday night MJR. McMahon , her daughter Miss Etta , and Miss Drydcn , n college student boarder , retired as usual for thu night. It is said that the old lady was hoard moving about In her room during the night , but caused no uneasiness on the part of the family. It was not until early morning that bn going to her sleeping upurt- ment it was found she was gone. The alarm was immediately given and soon the whole town , citizens , col- Icgo students and public school pupils were searching through the town and outlying viemita. It was thought that ( tossibly in her bewilderment she had started forHillsdaloto take the train , as she often expressed u dc- sire to visit their children living in various parts of Pottav attainlo county. A greater part of Saturday morning was sixjnt in the anxious , exciting search , and It was not until nearly noon that someone on looking into the hotel well nearly cigty-Wvo feet deep saw un mistakable evidence of her dreadful fate. It was an excited , hum lied throng of neighbors that gathered around to assist in lifting out the remains of a beloved friend. Mr. Myers' ropes and windhuw were brought and George Ledgewuy nnd George Starrett were lowered into the well. Hopes were fastened around her nnd slowly nnd gently B"o was drawn back into God's sweet sunlight. She was immediately removed to her residence where loving hands prepared their friend for burial. An early telegram hild Men sent to her son , George McMahon , of Council muffs , who arrived during the forenoon , nnd lie , with the assistance of .Mr. Fish , took the remains to Hillsdale in the afternoon to bo sent to the family cemetery in Pottawattamic county for burial.

Several of the prominent citizens of this city wore sunning themselves yes terday afternoon in front of the Pacific house when ono of them delivered him self as follows : "Gentlemen , we say wo have a'nice city wealthy , pretty and not badly in debt and so wo have. Wo are pleased with our homes , and arc not ashamed to say so. Now , we all belong hero , and there Is no need of misrepre senting anything. I just want to leave it to any man , rich or poor , high or low , if the condition of those streets isn't enough to make angels weep. They surely would , If not worse. As you all know , $00,000 was expended last year for paving , and what is. the result ? The newly-paved streets are in a worse condition than before. What is the reiusonV The paving is all that could bo desired In that line , but the strings of dirt wagons that daily pass over them , leave generous contri butions. I pay my taxes and don't com plain about anything within the bounds of reason , hut I live on Mynstor street , and my assessment for paving that handsome avenue amounted to consider able. In order to got hero to-day I waded through mud nearly to my ankles. Have I retibon to complain ? 1 toll ou , gentlemen , this thing has gone far enough , and something must bo done. I shall see the members of the council , and if they can't grant relief. I shall bo on hand at the coming election to work for men who will make a bettor showing in the nldornmnic chairs.

Miss Sled , one of the operators In the telephone exchange , met with a rather unpleasant experience Saturday even ing. During the storm ono of the elec tric light wires became loosened from its fastenings and fell upon the tele phone wires. The rain had rendered the insulation imperfect , and the lady received a shock that "mado her see stars , ' ' to say the least. The current caused nearly every drop to fall , and had it not been for numerous ground wires that allowed much of the electric lluid to escape , Mist ) Sled would undoubtedly have been killed. The opening of the circuit caused the lights on that line to go out , and several places were left In darkness. The trouble was soon reme died and the current turned on again. It was a narrow escape for the operator and she has not fully recovered from the effects of it. This is by no means the first time that the electric light wires have been crossed with the telephone wires and caused a scare in the ex change. Some stops should bo taken to prevent the possibility of these wires becoming crossed , as the electric light current is so powerful that borious re sults are likely to follow. , E. II.

Late Saturday night Olllcer Boswick found a man wandering about the North western depot. Ho was covered with mud and his face was discolored and swollen from a heavy blow under the eye. When taken to the police station ho said that ho came in on the Milwau kee through freight. Ho gave his name us Charles Usher , of Cedar Rapids. Ho said that lie left homo for Ports mouth to buy a farm , and had two drafts for $500 each on the City National bank of Cedar Rapids. The train did not stop at Portsmouth , and ho was brought to Ncola , and con cluded to como on to the Bluffs and stay over night. After ho alighted from the car in the Milwaukee yards he had gone but a few rods when lie was knocked down and robbed of all lie had. Ho was completely dazed by the blow and wandered around until found as stated. Ho had ttyo police telegraph to stop paymenton the drafts , and remained at the station the greater part of the day. Ho uUo lost about $15 in money and a silver watch. Ho Is of thu opinion that the brakemeu of the train were his as- suilunts , but could give no description o'f them. Thu police believe his itory nnd nre on the lookout "Tor the pctrntorf ) of the bold Scrimo. They think that the drafts will bo thrown away , and thus no cluoileft or their ap prehension. Usher huA.biton drinking , but was far from being intoxicated. Ho tolls , a very straight sto > y , ' and leaves but little room for doubt. H Tills Is the first occiffrdhco of this kind that has happened here for BOIIIO time. The parties evidently intended to succeed in their attempt , ' as Usher's face gives evidence of a. terrific blow. He states that there were three of them , but can give no further Information. The highwaymen will fn'ob ' bly not bo discovered , and. Mr. U alter will not have a chance to prosectfto Mspugilistlc assailant in the courts. , A New Church Organ. The committee to whom was dele gated the placing of thu order for the organ for St. Francis Xavicr's church have done so. The instrument will bo manufactured by J.

It will contain two banks of keyd , twenty-live stops and 1,000 pipes and cost $ H,000. The Instrument will bo completed as soon as-is consis tent with good worlununship and will doubtless bo a credit to the maker and a prize to the church. Ono thousand head of ono , two and three-year-old steers for wile. Will give credit to reliable parties. Enquire o A. J. Grecnamuyer. * The Braaclwny Bridge.

A correspondent writes to the Chi- crgo Tribune from Mexico : Outside in their dark pens the bulls are shut up awaiting their turn to be precipitated into that bright arena , there to give thirty minutes of their lives to mortal combat in an encounter where the chances of escape or revenge have been scientifically reduced ! to it minimum. No torero desires to fight a fcull the second end time , for a bull oncohtiying had ex perience is a dangerous customer , and will follow up his attacks , and almost surely kill or gore his antagonist. There is n great silence all over the vast amphitheatre , people holding their treath , the bull is qoming through a winding , narrow ptibsugo to the door which will open and admit him to the scone of carnage. His dullj roaring is heard us ho is goaded on toward the door. Then the door opens , and you might hear the full of a cambric hand kerchief , so profound is the silence. Ladies' cheeks are pale , and oven man's faces have become fixed and rigid. The tensions is tremendous. The bull enters the arena with a savugo bound , and for a moment is stunned by the shouts , cries and yells , and ho is dazzled by the bright sunshine. He stops a moment and is a study of animal bewilderment , mingled with rage. On his shoulders was placed , as he entered the "monu , " which , nt the outhot , decorates each bull. This bull is named Rcspotado , and ho wears a decoration of broad ribbons of the colors of Mexico and Spain yellow , red , white and green and all covered with golden spangles , and , sitting in the midat of the tangled ribbons , as iu a nest , a stuffed bird of brilliant plumage. The Spanish ribbons bens bear in gold letters the motto , "Viva Mexico , " and the Mexican ribbons bens , "Viva Eapantu" Respetado is a tremendous bull , brought , as were all the rest of his taurino companions , from Spain , at a cost each of $1,000 in gold. His horns are big and sharp , and ho pawn the ground in a tro- monooiw rage. Soon ho discerns a pic ador , and makes a mad rush ut man and horse , but the picador , poising his lance and bracing himself In his high backed saddle , receives the bull's charge most valiantly , and inserting the point of his lance between the bull's shoulders , keeps off. It was a tremendous charge well met , and elicits thunders of ap plause. The capcudores then attract the bull's attention with their flaming capes of red and yellow' , and off he dashes after them , some just saving themselves by vaulting the barrier Into the narrow space mentioned , which winds around the ring. The bull charges another picador , and is kept off again There are other charges and other re buffs till this act is over. Then out go the picadores on their horses , and in como. the bandcrillos with the bandorillas in their hands , each man carrying two. Those are short sticks covered with ribbons and colored paper , and barbed with steel in such a manner that , when siuck into the bull's shoulder , they stay placed , unless shaken out by a great effort on the part of the beast. The gj-oat feat , and the solo object of this part of the fight , is that the bandillero shall place his darts in a space not bigger than a dinner- plate between the bull's Bhouldors ; and , in order that the bull may have fair play , the performer milst carry his arms at the right moment between the bull's horns , while facing the animal , and stick the barbs deep into the shoulders. The bull mutt not be approached from behind or from either slue ; M must bo a fair face-to-faco encounter. That this requires nerve , quickness ; and precision of eve is to bo imagined. How would you like to bo standing in front of u bull whoso horns are perhaps reddened with the blood of horses , his head lowered to catch you if ho can , while you have , under 120,000 eyes ; to pass your arms be tween his horns and plunge firmly into his shoulders the darts you carry In either hand ? And , as you 'do ' this , you must skillfully turn to ono side and just avoid the horn of the bull us ho ad vances. This is u wonderful exhibition , and never fails to bringjipplauso.
