Every scat in the Opera house was filled last evening , and considerable space utilized as standing room at the grand temperance mass meeting In which nearly all of the churches In the city united. Muslo was fur nished by the combined city choirs. The ad dresses of the evening were all earnest tem perance pleas , and were directed against the open saloons of the city. There was no minc ing of mrttcra , and existing evils and their causes were freely dlsqusscd. The present policy of the city government In allowing saloons to run openly In defiance of thn prohibitory law was severely con demned. Mr. Jacob Sims was especially out- epoken , and declared that the chief executive of the city was In league with the saloon keepers , and opposed to enforcing the law. At the close of the meeting the following resolution was Introduced : Resolved , That it is the sense of this meet ing that Mayor Rohrer bo urgently requested to enforce the prohibitory la-w and wo pledge him our earnest support. The resolution passed almost unanimously.

THOUGHTS FOR THE RELIGIOUS. The Opcrn House Crowded With En- tliunlnstlo Temperance Workers General News In nnti About the City Personal. Situation of the Motor Iilnc. The delay In getting the motor line in readiness for operation does not seem to bo caused entirely by the railroad companies , und It Is thought that If the city council would take certain steps within its power , the obstructions might bo cleared nway and the line would soon bo in active operation. A Urn reporter yesterday Interviewed Mr. Reed , the present owner of the motor line franchise and learned some facts regarding It that may bo of Interest to the public. When nskcd ns to the exact state of affairs now existing , Mr. Reed said ! ' 'In order that you may understand just what I had to contend against , and why the line Is not already completed , Ivlll begin at the beginning of my connection with the en terprise and give you its whole history up to the present time. When 1 purchased Mr. J. K. Graves' franchise I was given to under stand by an Interested party that there would bo no delay caused In crossing the tracks of the railroad companies and that the way was entirely clear for the immediate completion of the motor line from the dummy depot on Broadway to Lake Maimwa. After completing the purchase I was proceeding to have these crossings condemned according to law , when the attorney of the railroads got out an Injunction to prevent the condemnation proceedings. My attorney then advised me to try to compromise - promise the matter , instead of taking it Into the courts. Winter came on about that time , and as nothing could bo done toward com pleting the line at that season , even if the way was clear , the matter rested until spring opened the way for further work. The com promise plan was faithfully tried , but con tract after contract that was sent to railroad headquarters was sent bade unsigned , and sometimes without even a reasonable excuse for doing so. If possible I wanted to get the \vork done without Incurring any hard feel ings , but have thus far been unsuccessful. . A rlpht of way was' granted tor a motor line , but the railroads have only to ask the court for an Injunction to stop it , and it is granted. The railroad attorney seeks in several ways to prevent the crossing , and in a number of instances I can trace hindrances put.forth , directly to his ingenuity. Now It is not to be supposed that one railroad Is nt all willing to have its tracks crossed by any other line , but there is no doubt in my mind but what there Is a far different motive in all the talk about tlic objection of these companies. A petition asking the council to interfere was circulated and over four hundred signatures were secured , but it was never presented to the council. It was smothered somewhere. The board of trade has now taken the matter in hand , and thelrcommitteoreports to-night. I understand that the report is favorable. I hope Urn * the result will bo moro successful than the petition , and that this determined resistance will bo overcome. Now , if it was not for this , Tcould have the line running by the 1st of May. With the exception of these crossings tho'track is nil laid. The Wabash crossing has already been put in , and thojury that was appointed to condemn the 'stock track' of the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy will probably finish ltd work to-night.

Wait for it. The Partnership of God nnd Man. The extremely unpleasant weather of yes terday kept , many persons from venturing be yond their homes and the attendance at the various churches suffered in consequence. Broadway Methodist was well filled. The sermon was an effective one and was deliv ered by the pastor , the Rev. W. H. W. Roes. It was his first regular discourse since the revival services were begun several weeks ago. ago.Ho chose for his text 1 Cor. 111:0 : , "Wo nro laborers together with God , etc. " 'This , " said the speaker , "is a most wonderful passage - sago of scripture. It has In It the epitome of the divine economy. In it you can almost see the Incarnation of Christ ; the suffering in the garden of Getbsemano ; the cross with Its dying Lord ; the baptism of the Holy Spirit ; the beginning and ending of the plan pi re demption. In it you can almost hear the di vine commands. In it you have- the largest possible outlook into divmo things ; into the plans and purposes by which man Is to bo saved from hltnseU and made a king and priest unto God. This part nership of the human and the divine is a well established and thoroughly established fact. It is everywhere spoken of In the scrip tures. " The speaker hero referred to nu merous passages to sustain this statement. "I want to show you that this contains and expresses a law which everywhere holds good , and also that either element left to itself falls. The necessity of personal salva. tlon is presupposed. This , man cannot ac complish alone. It Is the union of two efforts , the harmony of two wills God's and man's that perfects the work. The choicest things , those in which wo most delight , are of the past. The greatest people , the profoundest philosophy , the most beautiful language , are among' the things of the past. The dead languages are the richest. The Greek is the most flexible ; the Hebrew the most express ive. The valorous deeds , beautiful imagery and profound jwstulatlons of the low , sensual peoples have been perpetuated in the his- tones of those languages. They depended not upon God. They failed to save them selves. There are nations which have existed for thousands of years. They have gone Independent of the gospel.nnd are yet un saved. Herein lies the necessity for mission ary effort. Religions that are purely human itarian are short-lived. They may be pleas ing , but they fall to satisfy the divine side of man. The divine principle , operating alone , fails. How does the divine lift the human J By the interposition , not of the divine , but of the human. The bible is the voice of God In the language of man. God speaks , but man must preach the word of life that the race may hear and know what arc Gd's wishes con cerning them. All the elements that nro necessary for the development of a crop of wheat are given. Soil , germ , sunshine and rain , all are bestowed bounteously , The germ Is cast Into the earth ; sunshine and rain fall upon it ; it springs up , dovelopes the blade , then the stalk , and then the glorious , golden harvest stands before you. Now you may say "It Is God's purpose that I shall bo fed. " So it is , but it is n part of the plan of feeding you that you put out your hand , gather the grain , convert It into bread and eat It. Thus you live. In this are combined the efforts of the divine and the human to do the purpose of the divine. God can furnish the means for your sustenance , but you must use the means. The same is true of character. God de signed that we should all be good , but Ho could not and can not make our characters for us. God furnishes pure influences , und in them are shown -His purposes , , but. mun must appropriate these Influences- God fur- ulshes His word , which is His power to salva tion. Ho furnishes the free exposition , o'f this word , which , elves . the influences which are to draw wen fr.omthe world nnd worldly lusts Into Himself and heavenly things , but He leavei It for you to act In conjunction with these tnflu- cnccd and plans. You have the preacher and the preached ivord , but some mon net as though the preacher ought to bo taken up to heaven on Sunday night ; filled with noly thoughts during the week ; let down again the next Sunday nnd bo taken back into heaven again after the Sunday night service. I judge this from the looks of the contribu tion bosket ns it returns from some of my congregations. There Is a law which operates In all things on earth. The wheels all turn ono way and it Is for man to discover this law : to see these wheels and put over them the belts of man's inventive genius. God has given us bodies , soil , sunlight and germs , but AVO must use them all to sustain life. You may work In harmony with this law and accomplish the purposes of God , or you may act contrary to these purposes and thwart them nil. There is ere in tno mountain nnd lead In the mine , but God cannot tnko these out nnd make n printing press. You muot dig them , com bine them by the genius Ho has given you , and then the world Is filled with the grand prlncloles of God and the purest thoughts of man. man.Tho ( act of destitution also sustains this proposition. In the administration of earthly affairs we can't get along without God nnd Ho cannot get along without us. Most men will admit the first statement , but most mm nro slow to admit the latter. Hero Is n land where people are suffering- from famine. Thcro Is no substance. In the land and the people must die. There. Is another land which has abundant sustenance for itself and those who nro starving , but God cannot take the corn and wheat from the ono and bear It to the other. Human hands must be the me dium through which God's purposes nro no- , compliance ! and thu destitute nro supplied. The great south land is suffering bccauso years ago some ono did not do his duty. To-day , ignorance , llho a poll , covers the land. Those people possess capacities as great as ours. They ought to bo as highly intelligent nnd cultured as wo are. This is the purpose of God and it is our duty to see that It is accomplished. The bible Itself Is n human product. It was written by men , butj there la In it the di vine element. Tnko the divine clement out of It and It is no moro than any other book. Put the alvlno element Into it nnd it is the beacon light of the world ; the guide to the pathway of the Just. It Is n glorious , an overpowering thought to me , that I am the temple of God. I am n building aroilnd deity. God is In mo. He is the tenement of my body. You nro the temples In which God dwells. Think of It , and let , the thought spur you to n moro perfect life nnd hearty obedience to God's commands. You nro the husbandry of God , His field , in which Ho sows the seed of the kingdom nnd from which Ho will expect to reap the harvest of His purposes accomplished in the lives of us nil. If these propositions nro true , then the least hesitancy on the part of the weakest saint prevents the conquest of the world. How necessary it Is that wo shall nil do our work freely , gladly , nnd to the glory of God Ho with the ono talent should make up his mind to do his part , that there Blmll lie no failure through his neglect. God will accom plish His purposes , but it may take ages. You may help or you may hinder this work. God Waited for 0,000 years until Ono could soy , "Thy will bo Oono , " and then the Christ child was born. He waited twelve centuries nnd Luther appeared. Fourteen centuries and Wesley lived and aroused the world with his grand nnd true interpretations of the word of God. God is waiting for you nnd for mo. Shall wo keep him wniting longer , or spring to the task that is at our hand nnd which ho expects us to perform. This Is our mission. No ono can do It for us and God will hold us accountable for its accomplish ment. A-full line of crockery and glassware at Lund Bros. , No. 23 Main street. S. B. Wadsworth & Co. loan monev.

Mobile Register : Colonel Bevior , qf- th. confederate army , relates that his surgeon came to him ono day , saying that ho had 176 men on the sick list. Mnny _ of them were believed to bo play ing sick , nnd the colonel and the sur geon agreed upon a course of treatment. The result showed that , whatever pro gress may have been made in t.ho sci ence of medicine , nothing is moro ef fective in many cases than a ccrtilvj very simple and old-fashioned remedy. Next morning nt roll call I had the sorgoantrmajor form the sick in double file and march them to the doctor's quarters , where ho stood ready with a bucket of castor oil in ono hand , a table spoon in the other and his sleeves rolled up. Ono hundred and eighty-two sturdy invalids in 'open ranks were be fore him , and -the solemn preparations had attracted so much attention that half the brigade were present to see the fun. fun.Tho The doctor gravely approached the head of the lino. "Well , Brown , what ails you this morning11" "Oh , doctor , I have such a nervous headache. " "I think a dose of castor oil will help you , " and with a wry face , amid the shouts of his comrades , Brown took it. "Mullins , are you sickV" "Yes , doctor , I have the plumbago. " "Castor oil is the very thing for that , " said the doctor , with an audible smile and Mullins1 " " , "plumbago" was greased with a heavy dose. "Hallo. Melton. What's the matter with you ? " "Colic , " said Melton , feebly. "Bad ? " said the doctor. "Not very. I don't need any oil. " "You must take this , " said the doc tor , "unless you are well enough to go back to duty. " "I'll go back then , " murmured Mel ton , looking round apprehensively. "Adjusant , " I said , "put him on double guard for shamming. " Thus the isiuo was clearly defined , castor oil or double duty , and quite a number of them accepted the latter. The fun ninonfc the outsiders was up roarious ; bad Jokes flow thick and fast. The curatives properties of castor oil bordered upon the marvelous , for next morning not over fifty men were re ported on the sick list. * HOLMAN's ROMANCE. The Great Objector Has a Story Why lie Cease I to Object to Pensions. Philadelphia Times : Representative Helm an is not a man that babies would cry for nor children follow in the street. Ho has not a winning smile , nnd I do not believe ho was over guilty of n. ca ress , Ho is grizzled and dried up , not so very old only sixty-six but dry and juicoless. His hair and scant whiskers are colorless , like stubbles in the hay- flold , and his face looks so much like parchment that I always expect to hear u crackling in his chocks when ho opens his mouth to say anything. Mr. Hqliimn has made n reputation in congress by his lack of amiability ; by preventing other mon from getting what they want ; by objecting to every thing that docs not please him , and by advocating und practicing parsimony till it has become a proverb. People ple who are going around with sub * scription papers always pass Holman by , and no ono who is searching for n ro mance would bo likely to look for it in his record ; but J heard a story the other day of his early youth'that seemed al- ' mpsfc incredible , yet it is pfton.truo that fact is stranger than fiction. ' ' ' . HIS JSAKLY LOVE. Mr. Holman spent his early' Hfo just .as Lincoln did , in a log liouso down in Southern Indiana , and gothl schooling from itinerant padjigogucs who had n scant knowledge of reading , writing nml nrithmotic , tiuiclUjto the boys nnu girls in the winter , "boarded around , " mid in the summers wolfed for the farmers in the neighborhood' , lor labor was so scnrco tlmt no ono thought of going to school while the frost vfns out of the ground. Then , ambitidua. 'to know something moro than the cotlntry teachers could toll him he got n ! Verm or two nt the academy ana bccnmo a teacher himself. Ono of his pupils" was a daughter of the richest man in the neighborhood nnd the prettiest girl for miles around. Hol- mnn fell in lovoTwith her , asked her to marry him , but "got the mitten. " She was too ambitious to marry a poor follow like him , who wore homespun , and took up with the son of a Louisville mer chant. It was a long time before the discarded lover recovered from the dis appointment , particularly tuf the boys and girls tensed him unmercifully about it , and their taunts at last drove him away from the lowh in which ho lived. Ho finally studied law nnd wns admitted to the bar , wont to the legislature , nnd then to congress , attaining prominence , as everybody knows. But ho never quite forgot his early lovo. THIS HOMJIMll'S WIDOW. Soon after Garlleld was elected presi dent , Mr. Holman visited Louisville , nnd n , gentleman called at his hotel to solicit nis aid in obtaining a pension for tha widow of a union soldier , who , ho said , was very much in need of the money. The claim had boon rejected by the pension olllco on some techni cality , although the facts were clear. Mr. ilohrmn wanted to oblige his friend and inquired into the particulars of the caso. Very soon it wns disclosed that the claimant was the very same woman who had rejected him when ho wns u young man , and , although ho declined1 to see her , ho came to Washington with the papers in his pocket and made a strong effort to got a bill through the house of representatives. But ho had objected to so many bills tlmt other members were interested in that there were plenty of mon to object to this , and for three sessions ho tried in vain to get the pension granted. Finally ho wont to the members who xvoro most persistent in their objections and prom ised not to intcrfcro with them again if they would let him get his bill through. Of course they were glad to make such a contract with "tho great objector , " and according to the understanding ono morning ho called up his pension bill , got it passed unanimously , and then fol lowed it ov"or to the senate , where he had no difficulty. When the measure became a law liolman wrote the lady a long letter , in which ho made some tender allusions to old times and offered to do anything ho could to promote Her happiness. This explains why the gentleman from Indiana no longer objects to the consideration of-pension bills. Piles cured \v\tti \ certainty. Drs. Moser & Van Ness , Council BlulTs.
