LINCOLN BUJIEAO or THB Omn.v BBB , 1029 P STUKBT , LINCOLN. April 37. W. J. Cooper has como to the conclusion that , ho was legally elected councilman of the Fourth ward ut the last regular munici pal election. Ho filed his petition in the dis trict court to-day for the purpose of com pelling the proper city ofllcinls to give him n certificate of olect'on. The petition alleges that Graham properly tendered his resigna tion as councilman of the ward when ho - accepted the nomination for mayor , thereby creating a , vacancy , nud that he was duly nominated und elected at the following elec tion , having received u majority of nil the votes cast. The petition further stutus that ho has repeatedly demanded a certillcato of election from the city clerk , but has repeatedly bean refused. The cube attracts u great deal of Interest in Lin coln. After the election , through some in formality , it was generally concluded that Cooper was not legally tno uluermun of the ward , mid consequently not entitled to u seat in thu council , und for this reason the certificate ficateof election was withhold. It was de cided thut n special election was necessary , nnd W. fa. Hamilton became a candidate , but at the primary ho was defeated ana Cooper was the only known candidate , Hamilton hav- Inc como out in an open. letter saying that ho cheerfully abided by tha decision of thu party caucus nnd would do ull in his power to nccuro his re-election. But , strung ) ) to state , the elrction showed Hamilton's ' success at the special election despite the notion of tha cau cus endorsing the regular nominee of the regular city convention. It is ullogcd that the Knights of Pythias took the matter In Imnd for sonic reason nnd elected Hamilton by fifty-three votes. This stirs tha natives , und Cooper at the ninth hour claims his election and the necessary certificate and SUCKS it by nuuuhimus proceedings. AVnntotl to Sloop.

Demo in Local Bo- llgioua Circles. BUILDING AND PROGRESSING. Meetings Hold For the Purpose or Furthering the Cnunc Every Sect Busy In Good Work. Religions Notes. The quarterly meeting of the First Baptist church was hold Wednesday night , at which the treasurer submitted a report for the past three months. The report showed the church to bo in an excellent financial condition. Ucforo the session adjourned A. S. Churchill was elected u deacon to 1111 a vacancy , which occurred some time ago. The oOlcors of the First Baptist Sunday school were tendered a reception Friday night by Superintendent M. G. MacLeod nt the residence of J. O. Staples , 2503 Casa street. Members of the First Baptist church nro making ijreut preparations for an entertain ment that will uo called "Children's U.iy. " It will bo hold at the church Uunday , Juno 9. It will consist ot recitations , songs and ad dresses , the latter by the pastor and super intendent. The greater portion of the enter tainment will bo uovoted to the children. The proceeds will go to the American Bap tist Publication society as a benefit. Considerable dissatisfaction is manifest on the awarding of the contract for the con struction of the now First Methodist church , which will bo erected at a cost of $75,000 nt the corner of Twentieth and Davenport streets. Bids for the construction were opened n week URO at tbo architects' ofllco. Six prominent and responsible contractors and bidders were Invited to file estimates and proposals for the erection of the church. This was iisltcd for by the building commit tee. Balf a dozen of the contractors and a few alternates put in bids. The low est among them was Martin T. Mur pliv. His bid for tba work was fl.OOO under that of the next lowest bidder , who was It. Stovous. Mr. Stovonti was awarded the contract at $55,500. This Is where the trouble lies. Murphy's bid was t5iUOO : , and there are some who claim that bo should have beau given the contract. The reason given for Mr. Slovens' ( rotting the work Is that ho Is u member of the First Methodist church , and was ulvon the preference - enco ou that account. S. T. Joslyii , of the sumo denomination , stated that ho regretted tha way in which the trouble had arisen , but was positive that no inllucnco was brought to boar on Stevens' con nection with the church , moro than ho would bo personally interested In the work of constructing the edllico , and for that icason his bid would bo thu cheapest in the end. Ho knew Murphy was nearly 3,000 lower , but thought Stevens could save moro than that amount in material to bo used In thu church. When the building committee invited proposals tberu was no assurance whatever that the lowest bidder would bo uwardod the contract , but , at tho'samo time , the builders presumed that the lowest ono would got it. Different architects Maim that Murphy is Just us responsible and as capa ble as any contractor in the city , nud now ho says he wants to know why ho was asked to bid If tbo committee had no confidence in him. Ho had to put In two or three days tlguriug on the plans , for which ho received no compensation. For this work ho would not have objected had he not have been enti tled to the contract. With all the dissatis faction there Is no remedy now. The con. tract is beyond redemption , It in signed and Stevens la tbo mail who will build the church. Soveralrehcarials for the grand war song coi.ccrts , Svhlch will bo given at ttio Grmid opera house May 10 and 11 , have boon hold during the past week. The concerts will ha for the benefit of the First Methodist church , und thu money realized from it will go Into a fund for the purchase of a largo pipu organ for the new church. ' U will be one of tbe grandest concerts over given in the rlty. There will bo 200 mule voices , and i chorus of 500 children ; also ten lady and gentleman soloists. The npollo and Plymouth clubs will take part , and the Omaha guards will bo in a scene and sang , "Tenting To-Night on the Old Camp Grounds , " with morning reveille nnd drill. The Second United States infan try band will furnish the war music. A largo number of eminent speakers have been engaged. The programme of songs consist of a book of thirty-two pages. People from all ever the state and Iowa arc expected to attend the concert , and for the accomodatlon of those special trains will bo run. There are now 2,500 tickets on sale. The Baptists are talking of founding a great denominational university , and their frlonds in Chicago are desirous of having it established thcro. People talk about the phenomenal sales of "Hobort Elsinero" and ' 'Little Lord Faunt- leroy , " and yet there Is ono book , Issued from ono publishing house , the sales of which quadruple both these taken toeetherand this book is the bible. During the past year the Bible society has sent out 1,320,673 conies , nnd in the seventy-two years of its existence the society has Issued nearly 50,000,000 bibles. At present the presses nro turning oft 4,000 copies per day of the book. A wealthy member of the Reformed Epis copal church in Philadelphia has donated JUO , )0 ) to that denomination. The entire sum is invested at 5 per cent. , and the Inter est is to bo need in building now houses of worship , supplying feeble congregations with pastors , and in mission work generally. The strangest part oftho story is that the donor has stipulated that his name shall not bo made public. All honor to him. New Hampshire has demonstrated that bigotry is not dead , by passing a law exclud ing catholics from ofllco.

How tlio Great Financier Started In lilfo and How Ho Accumulated Ilia Immense Fortune Ills Pot Projects. The Growth of a Millionaire. The name of Darius O. Mills is now always associated with gigantic finan cial schemes , involving the use of many millions , or a railroad , real estate or charitable venture , but forty years ago it was a different story , says the Now York Morning Journal. To-day ho stands a prominent tlguro in Wall street , the owner of railroads , banks , mines , one of the finest ollico buildings in the worldand real estate north many millions. In appearance Mr. MillH looks the man of business and finances that ho is. Ho is of medium height , heavy built , with broad shoulders and fatrong logs. Recent years liavo thinned his hair greatly. IIo has penetrating bluooycs , a llrm , decisive mouth , und a chin that moans business. His closely clipped Bido-whiskcrs are almost whito. "Starting in life practically without a contby his own native business shrewd ness , Mr. Mills has collected an enor mous fortune , which now amounts to something ever $20,000,000. Although ho is now sixty-eight years of age lie is as industrious and energetic a worker as ho WIIH when it was necessary for him to toll day after day to keep body and soul together. The llrst thirty years of Mr. Millb' Hfo were as uneventful and nwttor-of- fact as they possibly could bo His par- ontbO'vnoda farm' just outside of Al bany , and until ho was eighteen years old lie had scarcely boon a do/.on miles from home. Ho attended the village .school up to the time ho was fifteen , and after that ho directed the monotonous onous work on his father's place. Although in after years money poured into his pockets much faster than lie.could spend it , no never had a cent of his own until some months after ho was eighteen. His father thought that if ho gave the boy a home and milll- ciont clothing to v/onr that was all the recompense his work required. But a roatloss clotonnlnation to bo out and about in the grout world was on him. in 18r 0. like hundreds of others , ho became aflllntod with the gold fever , and selling out his nil ho started for the gold Holds across tbo prairies , On rqaohlng San Fram-lseo ho pur chased a miner's outfit nnd ntonco started for the mines. At first fortune did not smile upon him ; A llulo Inter , however , he secured in to r UK ts in several email mines' and in Irt51 , when he again visited San Fran- citf.g , hn was worth auroral thousand dollars , Whilu in the rapidly growing own , ho became iisiiuiilntod with a Miss unniiightun , the daughter of a voryJJ wealthy rcal-citate owner. After u l-.rinf courtship ho nnd Miss Cunningham wcro married. Shortly after Misa Cunningham's fiithor , < lied , leaving her real esttito on Third and Markol-stroots vuiued at 5300,000.

All of these ventures reaped rich harvests , und in another your D. O. Mills was one of the rich men of Ciiliforiia. Every thing ho touched seemed to turn into money , and every concern that suc ceeded in interesting him became suc cessful through his shrewd and woll- chosen energy. Ono of his uost ventures was the pur chase of a tract of land about eighteen , miles outside of San Francisco. On. this land he erected an elegant country residence. Ho also blurted a barge dairy furm which In n short time sup plied most of the residents of Son Francisco with milk. * The farm ho culled Millbrno , and to day a thriving villngo is located there. . A bhort'diHtanco from the farm.wsro the Spring Valley water works , which sup plied San Francisco with water. Mr. . Mills became a big share-holder in the water works company , which resulted in the building of the village ol MIL- , pills. In the latter part of the "fifties" h.Q became associated with William G. , Ralston , who started the Banlt of Cali fornia. John Mackav completed the trio , which subsequently controlled tha great system of Comstock mines , which , made millions for hundreds und. made beggars of thousands. .lust before thu close of the war green backs in California wore- worth but 80 per cent of their face value. With clear forcsighlodncss D. O. Mill saw the only outcome of Iho slrugglo and its conso- quoiit oHopt upon government green backs and socurillcs. Bank stocks , initi- ing stocks and everything were sacri ficed to raise gold with which to pur * chaso" government bonds and greon- < backs. Several months later , when , everything wont back to par , D. O. Mills' fbrluno was almost troblod. Ono ot Iho few Hct-backs ho received was in the failure of the Bunk of Cali- l forniain 1877 and the death on the fol lowing day of William G. Ilalston ?
