Prrsonnl Yesterday the regular quarterly meeting was hold In the Uroadway Methodist church , onductcd by the presiding older of the dls- rlct , Hov. VV. Of. Smith , D.D. , of this city. The attendance was unusually largo , the auditorium of the church bolng filled to the extent of Us soMlng capacity. The procoed- ngs Included a brief business session rclat- ng expressly to the financial condition of the clmrgo. The report of the treasurer , Mr. Jarnott , showed that the total receipts of ho quarter amounted to 31,033.25 and the expenditures to $1,005,10 , and that the deficit oft $170. 73 of the pastor's salary unpaid. The call for assistance was liberally re sponded to , and the deficiency largely made up. up.In In the absence of the pistor , Rov. Dr. Franklin , Presiding Elder Smith filled the pulpit , lie chose tor the basis of his dis course these words from the ilrst epistle of John : "Thoso things write wo unto you hat your joy mny bo full. This then is the ncssugo we have heard of Him , and declare unto you that God Is light and in Him there is no darkness. " This letter is written to the Christians of Council Bluff * as much as it was to these at the young church ninety years nftcr the Christian era. Wo are prone to think that ottora nnd messages In the blblo are ad Irossod to u remote people who have lived n a remote age , and wo fail to appreciate ihom. If I were to say that I had a letter hero In my pocket from t > io apostle John , written to the people of Council Bluffs , all would be eager to hear It , nnd would uko to their hearts every ivord of It. This letter Is for us , for you that sit hero. It is your let ter. It is a general epistle , nnd wo can up- propriuto it to ourselves , mid realize fully Lhnt It was meant for us individually. This Is ono of the secrets of the full and proper comprehension of God's word. If wo could read all the oplstlcs so wo could take them to our hearts as easy as If our names were ircllxed , and the writer's name afllxcd to them. The opistta was written to convey to you this message : "Wo have hoard of Him and declare unto you that God is light and in Him there Is no darkness ; if wo confess our sins , Hn Is faithful nnd just to forglva us and clcanso us from all unrighteousness. " All the word of God is calculated to give us joy. I'ho Ilrst thing said in this cpistlo to us is the confident assertion that all things Jesus said are true ; the things wo have seen and heard present wo unto you. Many people look upon ill this as tradition and a Kind of supersti tion , but here is the positive assertion of something wo know about. It is evidence that the religion of Christ is founded upon knowledge and things positive. Strauss , the LTcat German Infidel , has tried to make Christ's religion a myth. John would say to Him that we hero BOO and know the things whereof wo speak. This ought to como to us with a great deal of joy this morning. There is no doubt about the reality of Christ's re ligion. Those men gavo4hcir lives in attes tation. It is no little distinction to stand side by side with this beloved dlscinlo and share his joys. He writes those blessed things to us that we may have fellowship with Him , fellowship with Jesus. In our lives in this world wo may not have a great share of the honors that como to mon , but great Is the honor to have this fellowship witli the son of God. The relation of the character of God ought to fill us with great Joy. Men will close their eyes to these things and grope , in darlc- ness , but in God there is no darkness. His light beams into the soul , not the intellect. These little children here know more of the future than the greatest man living' whore this light is not known. On the Ganges river In India on occasions of religious fes tivals , half a million people will sometimes bo assembled in the night time , each launch ing a tiny boat bearing a feeble light. These are people who have lost friends , and these tapers are -to light their souls across the sacred river. They have been taught not that GoJ is light , and do not willfully close their dyes and grope in darkness. Lot us take this book as it Is written , directly to us. Here is another thought , God's method of dealing with , sin. There is nothing that should till us with more joy than this mes sage , "If wo confess our sins ho Is faithful nnd just to forgive. " It Is the grandest and best message that over c.xmo to human cars. It Is the only satisfactory solution of the problem that involves the whole human race. From the earliest dawn of human life where God's light has not sliono every nation and men hava trifd to makn atonement , some by Inflicting cruel bodily pain and suffering pen ance , and others by weary pilgrimages , but there hat been no thought of foi iveness. Only in the religion of Josusir , this blessed promise given that God proposes to give us pardon if wo do our part. If this was the Ilrst tlmo wo had over heard this assurance wo would jump to our feet and shout "Glory to God , " 1 have never shouted and may never until I reach the other shore , but if this came to ma as a promise for tbo first time , my voice could not bo restrained. There are but two classes , the pardoned and unpardonod. There are but two ways to go , tbo right and the wrong. Wo will never go the right way , wo will never reach heaven unless wo nro pardoned. Oh , my brethren , are you forgiven of your sip si This message of the beloved disciple , re ceived from his crucified and risen master in heaven , is for you. Jesus whispers it in your hearts and pleads for your answer. At the conclusion of the sermon the sacra ment of the Lord's supper and holy com munion was administered. All Christian people , regardless of sect , were Invited to partake of the communion. About two hun dred of the regular communicants and a largo part of the congregation par too ic of the sacrament.

A move is on foot to extend North Second street through Fairview cemetery to Galesburg - burg addition , and open a driveway from there to Harrison street. Mayor Rohror has donated a strip thirty feet wide from Roller's park for this purpose , and P. H. Wind has offered to donate u similar strip from his property. It will be necessary for several other property owners to do the same before the necessary land for this proposed drive can bo secured.

It was reported on the street yesterday afternoon that 'Squire F. A. Burke was fail ing rapidly , and could live but a short time. Physicians wore hastily summoned , and medical relief given the aged invalid , whoso health has not been of the best for several years. His condition remained unchanged until 10 o'clock last evening , when he rallied a little , and at a late hour was resting much more comfortably , although by no means out of danger. His present illness Is duo to no now developments , but to old ago and in creasing weakness. The veteran squire nnd ex-city clerk is now In his sovonty-fourth year , nnd as the past few years have seemingly added nothing to Ins Infirmities , it was hoped that his lease of life would continue for some time to como. His sudden failing lust evening was n sur- [ irUo to his many friends , who were shocked it the sad news.

A bushel of land plaster per aero on the clover \yill show beneficial effects. On sandy soil ashes nro better. Too much corn to horses in warm weather will cause pvofuse perspiration. Oats should bo used in preference. Sorroll will grow nnd seed before you are aware of it unless you keep the ground clear of it. The plantain is an other troublesome weed that must bo watched at this season. A disease commonly known as yellows is attacking fruit trees in Oglcthorpo _ county , Ga. . and in some orchards is playing havoc. The leaves of the trees begin by wilting , turning a bright yel low , and in a week or so the tree is dead. The potato beetle will attack the egg plant in preference to anything else , and unless such plants are carefully watched and the beetles picked oil they will de stroy the plants in less than a day. To save the plants they should bo exam ined two or three times a day. If you have 'any corn fodder the sheep will pick it over and clean the stalks. If the fodder is bright and clean all classes of stock will relish it. If fodder is run through a cutter and the stalks crushed as well as chopped by the cutter there will bo but little wasto. The striped cucumber beetle not only destroys the cucumber , but will attack the melon. A gauze covering is the best protection. Later on an applica tion of strong soapsuds will bo partially effectual , but this insect is diffcult to combat , and as many as possible should bo destroyed by hand. When cultivating the ground to de stroy grass only a few inches deep will sullice. Ono inch of soil , kept line , on the top , will servo as a mulch , and in pulverizing it the grass nnd weeds will bo killed. Never lot the ground become - come hard and crusty if there is a prob ability of a dry season. A southern cultivator says the most salable sweet potato is ono that is short nnd thick , and it is to produce the so that you plow shallow nnd make Hat hill ridges , so that ns the potatoes grow they will roach the hard soil and bo checked in their downward growth and will develop thickness. Foot rot is not ns provnlont as form erly. This is duo to the sheep boinir kept on dry ground instead of given only the wet pastures , as before. Shcpp should invaribly have shelter nt night , but they object to being confined in a close building. An open shed , with dry lloor , should bo provided. The larvto of the potatoo beetle is a dohciioy to all ( kinds of poultry , as they are soft , and are easily killed nt that stage in the act of being oaten , but the mature insect will pass into the crop of a fowl nlivo , which in the end results in the death of the fowl. For this reason , as a rule , poultry usually neglect them , though turkeys will sometimes food on them , but at a risk. There is ns much art in the work of improving the drones o * a hive us to en deavor to secure bettor queens. Some swarms of boos nro to oinbred to endure hard winters. In the natural condition boos are hardy , but vshon their care is in the hands of the beekeeper his judg ment is important , and ho can do much to add vigor to the swarms. Prof. Lintor suggests that London purple or purls green may ho used on cabbage plants to destroy the striped flea beetle without the least danger of the poison being retained by the mn- tured head ; also thut if applied to rad ishes when thu seed loaves nut forth above ground , at which time the beetle does the most damage , cither poison being soon changed to nn inert form in the earth , would in nil probability bo hnrmlobs when the radishes should bo ready for the table.

Ono of the most refreshing phases of life in these rapidly growing communi ties of the far northwest is the yavioty of character with which ono is constant ly associated , I moot people in Seattle , Tacoma , Port Townsend and Spoknnu from all over the world , writes John K. Ronvls in the Washington Post. Seattle - attlo is us thoroughly cosmopolitan in its makeup ns San Francisco or London. Spokane is not much behind. There is n. little more hero of what wo in the cast have been accustomed to call the lifo of the plains than there is in the sound cities. There is not much sug gestive of the cowboy about any of the horsobnok rtdnrs I hnvo scon in or about Scuttle , but the genuine cowboy is no stranger to Spokane. I see him hero in great multiplicity every day , though somewhat toned down to meet the ox- ncting demands of a most refined nnd woll-bohnvcd element that is in control of the city. They have here n marshal who stands six foot four inches , who has buon something of cowboy "himself in his time , but who is now a grlm-visnged guardian of the peace , and who swoops down on the evil door with the celot-ity and precision of an avonjrinir bolt from Jove himself. Ho is also drum major of the Spokane brass band , and in his double capacity is atonco the terror nnd the admiration of the town. I was tnrown into this vein of thought concerning the many-sided ness of lifo in Spokane , in particular , by having a long talk with ono of the inhabitants last night who , though now settled and contented , has had onougn adventures to 1111 a whole "Seaside Library , " but who is at this moment entirely intact , barring the loss of ono finger nnd n bullet hole in his thigh. Ho is but one out of the curious mosaic of people who turn up in the new and thriving cities of this corner of the na tional domain. Lnrnor , for that is the man's name , is now bending his ener gies to the maintenance of a comfort able looking cigar shon , and being him self ono of his own host patrons , ho gave me glimpses of hik lifo through the smoke of more thninono fragrant Havana. I have wondered' if I have nnough of. the freshness.of the story to make it interesting to the readers of the Post. Lnrnor was born in Ahlbamn , nnd , at fifteen , went into the confpdQi'ato army , whore ho served two ydarsj and ten months , the war closing ] ] jvijh him a prisoner at Soltna. When ho returned homo he found ooth tnoth'ar.ahd father dead , the only remnant Jof 'his family being an old colored woman , 01- whom ho spent all his money in'.biiyjjng a black dress. He wont to LeaveiVwoi'tn , JCan. , whore ho joined u wagen - tra-in , and came oyorito th.o > tPaciUej , gwlo of the continent. - - Ho 'prospected ' througlHpi'ejfbtJ aiid California ; discovered a silver mine , which ho sold for $25,000 ; wont to San Francisco : lost all his money but $7,000 in a gambling house , and then went up to Port Townsend. This was twenty years ago. Ho traveled all over Puget Sound. At Seattle ho found little more than a blacksmith shop and a log cabin or two , but as ho stood on the shore and looked out on the bay ho felta suspicion creep over him that a great eity might some day spring up thorp. What inllu- once the present magnificence and glory of Seattle had over Mr. Larnor when he spoke thus I am unable to say. I3o this as it may , he shipped on an English sailing vessel , went around Good Hope and to Liverpool , and then began to foot it through the British kingdom. Ho wandered all through Ireland , Scotland and England and finally got to Franco , having stim ulated his ambition in the meantime by reading Goldsmith's "Traveler" and Washington Irving's "Lifo of Gold smith. " From Paris ho wont to the Rhine to see the homoste.id of his great-grand father , then to Havre , whore ho took a sailing vessel to South America. He traveled on horseback all the way from the south end of Patagonia to Panama , traversing the en tire length of the continent , and then went through Central America to Mexico. Ho had learned to speak to speak both French and Spanish , and now undertook a journey on foot through Mexico , finally crossing the Rio Grande into Texas. Fr6m San Antonia ho rode on horseback to El Paso and then crossed Now Mexico to Arizona. . It was in this latter country that ho had his greatest adventures nnd narrowest es capes. Ho lived ten years in southern Arizona , at the time when the Apaches wore making graves for white mon at every stop a horse would take from Stein's pass to Tuina , and when Cochise nnd Goronimo wore outwitting General Crook and all his cavalrymen. "I will never forgot my introduction to Arizona , " said Larnor , ns ho lifted his cigar from his mouth , sent the smoke up in n long , winding curl and gave a consolatory grunt that indicated that ho was thankful ho had been pre served to toll this story. ' 'I was travel ing alone on horseback , armed with a revolver and n Sharp's carbine. I was a match for twenty Apaches if they would como out nnd fight openly. I had just rode over Stern's Pass , which is about the dividing line /between Now Mexico nnd Arizona , and1 was riding along the old road which. i'4n close to what is now the line of 'iho South ern Pacific. I happened to look up u mountain side almost directly ever mo when I saw a lone Indiqn"siting with his hands up to his facotpidjiis } elbows on his knees , watching for some trav eler to come from the oth'er'diroction. I know ho would see mo n'Jii ' moment and I lot lly nt him wit /mj' carbine , nnd ho jumped like u dear * jln n mo ment ten or fifteen of thgtn ruBhod otT down the mountain to heaxl iuo off at n point lower down the valley , but they had no guns or horses and I getaway away and went on to Fort Bowie. There I was joined by the mail carrier nnd wo startoa through Apache pass together , ho riding in front. Wo had not gene far when zip ! came n dozen arrows and buried themselves in the body ot the poor follow nnd his horse , Both foil ever dead. "I returned to the fort and wont through the puss nt night , when the ApaohoH could not BOO me , I traveled on to Dragoon puss , whore I overtook two mon from Pennsylvania , nnd from there on wo kept together. Just ns wo were crossing the Stlennogu , thirty miles from Tucson , an arrow hit the horse of ono of my companions nnd killed him instantly. I took the man up behind mo and wo broke at- our best , but the ar rows onmo like a shower nnd my horse was the next to fall , and them the third liorso went down. Every horse cloiwl nnd not ono ot us scratched. "By this tlmo the Indians had shown thomsnlvcs In great numbers. I think there must hnvo boon sixty of them nt least. It was n rncd then nil the way into Tucson. Anybody who has ever traveled over that country knows how hot nnd parched It is. Not a drop ot water did we have on nil thnt long race of twenty-live miles. Wo fought the Indians all the wny , but wo got into Tucson without n wound , Tliroo months Inter I built myself an ndobo on the Slonnopn , near where this trouble began , nnd I lived there eight years , If you ever rode along there on the Southern Pacific you hnvo probably seen my house , for it stands yet on the banks of n little cut not ton foot from the track. When the railroad cnmo along I loft there. " \on may think it strnngo n man could Hvo nlono without being killed by the Apaches. I took the risk for the sake of the money I made selling food nnd wntor , nnd giving shelter to emi grants nnd travelers who cnmo that wny. I sold my hay for nil I would ask. nnd so I did with everything else 1 had ! Was I ever attacked ? I should say so ; about thrco times a month they would come around nnd give mo a brush. I had n hoi'so that would nlwnys give the nlnrm. Ho could smell nn Indian three miles oil. Whenever I hoard thnt horse snort I know they were coining. I hud the inside walls of my house cov ered with guns nnd pistols , nnd my house was a fort. Sometimes I was nlono , but I nearly always hud some travelers stopping with mo. Of course it sounds strange , but fighting Indinns in those days-was an everyday business in Arizonn. I was never hit but twice ; ono time I had an arrow tnko oft the middle finger of the loft hnnd , and at another time I got an ugly rillo ball in my thigh. These were the only hurts I got in the whole eight years. n'And what sort oi' execution did you do among the Indians in all that tlmo'/ " I asked. "What did I do ? No rnnn will ever tell. I don't know nil that I did my self. But hero's a part of what 1 did. " As he said this ho turned nround nnd pulled from a box under his cigar case a bunch of Indian scalps. "Count them for yourself , " ho said. "Every scalp stands for nn Apache that dropped from a shot out of my rillo , but there was many n ono 1 never got to lay my hands on atnll. " I counted the now dried but some what ghastly collection of scalp locks , and there were just twenty-four of them. "I don't make a business of showing those to everybody who comes in hero , " said Lamer , as ho received back his precious memento nnd stuffed it down into the box from which ho had taken it , " but as you are a tender foot from Washington City I wanted to try your nerves. Btitl'mdono with Indian fighting now. I got into California , and here I found a girl thnt could ride iiko the wind , and who was not afraid of anything on the earth or under the earth , and wo inndo up our minds to marry and como up here and make a home in the great territory of Washington. That was five years ago , and now hero you see mo well fixed nnd contented and " Just then there came prancing into the shop a chubby-faced boy of three. "Well , " ' continued the fond parent , "and you see we've got a boy , too. and I think a good deal more of him thnn I do.of that bunch of Apache scalps. Will I "ever go back to Alabama ? Yes , when I innko enough money I'm going back to Alabama and build'mo a house in the Blue mountains , and there close what you might call a checkered ca reer.
