SUNDAY NEWS IS THE BLUFFS , Easter Flowers and Easter Bonnets Grace the Various Churches. IT WAS A VERY QUIET DAY , The I'ollee ( Jot ATI or the DlHpciiHOi'H ttl Contraband lliicl o and Land u Trio In the Cooler Oca- cm I Newt * NoteH. Chief of Police Ciiry has decreed that the orders of Iho mayor with reference to Sun day closing shall be rigidly enforced , and the Indications are that the saloon men will not bo long in llndiug out that ho means It. He does not propose to lake anybody's word for It , but will depend upon his own eyes for his knowledge. . It was staled yesterday Unit everything was closed up tighter than a drum. Lust evening , however , the head of the force took u notion Into his head to do a little in- vesllgallng through the suburbs. The patrol wagon was ordered out and the chief ac companied by Captain Clough and Oftlecr Martin started on a tour. The llrsl place Visited was Iho saloon kept by John Myers , near the transfer. There was nothing to bo seen from the Inside , not oven a my of light , to show that any business was being con ducted within : In fact , It had the nppcaranco of a vacant anil deserted house. Hnlrance was effected , and when on Iho Inside , Iho place wore an entirely different aspect. It was lighted up , and the proprietor was dis pensing drinks to a thirsty crowd with a lib eral hand. The customers all claimed to bo from Omaha , and tided very promptly on the chief's advice to start for homo Immediately. Myers was hustled Into the patrol wagon , and the drive was continued. The next place was John Crow's Joint on Lower Broadway. Crow was found out side on the watch , and explained the presence of the crowd Inside by slating that they lived there. He was not so successful In furnishing information about himself , and lie was bundled Into the wagon , wooden leg and all , to keep company with Mr. Myers. The Central house , a block below. Was next honored with a call. The proprietor , S. E. Nulling , was very much surprised at the unexpected visit , and was so completely llus- Ir.ilod that ho oven forgot to deposit his gun behind the bar as Crow had done , and it was later found on his person , to give rise to a charge of carrying concealed weapons. The trio were taken to the station and locked up. They wore all very well "heeled , " showing conclusively that Easter prollts are worth looking after. Judge MoOeo will grant them an interview this morning. The chief proposes to follow up this plan , mid will satisfy himself whether or not it is pnssiblO'for saloons to run in disobedience of orders. * 15OSTO.V STOUK.

Yesterday was one of the quietest Sundays that the Bluffs has known for a long itme. The streets , however , were far from.present ing a deserted appearance , as there were far more pedestrians and buggies in sight than is usual , but everything was orderly and there was no disturbance to mar the beauty of the day. The weather was far too pleasant for anyone to remain indoors , and there was a general outpouring in all parts of the city. There seemed to bo a universal desire to move aboul , and the crowds that thronged the motor trains wore only a small proportion of those who were out lo enjoy Iho day. The mayor's order wllh reference lo Iho closing of billiard halls and card rooms was rigidly enforced. There were , as usual , u number who wore anxious lo llnd "a game , " but their search was not generally successful. There wore a few games of "crib" in private rooms in tlio hotels , but publio playing did not prosper. A few of the old time sports began to collect earlv In the day in one of Iho recently closed gambling rooms , but Iho po lice caught on and Iho scheme miscarried. It was satisfactorily demonstrated that the Sun day closing law can bo enforced without dlfll- eulty If there Is any disposition to do so. There was more or less kicking because Manawa had not "opened" for the scasdii , and there was a general demand to know whether or no trains were running to Iho lake. AVhen it was known that thov wore noland Manager Heed's reason was given , much satisfaction was expressed by those who desire to see the lake prosper , but the ruundors howled. H < COIIIS that Manager Heed is determined to give Manawa a better name lids year than it has over had heretofore , and for this reason ho insists Unit they must start out right. Said he : "If 1 start the Ir.dns now , before wo have taken any slops lo regulalo our now town , it will hurt the lake lor the entire season. These fellows who are shut out of the saloons here in the city would go to the lake for a time , and they would have it. Tlio better element would say at once. 'Well , if that is tlio way they are going to run things , I will stay nway. ' and the lake would suffer for Iho whole summer , oven If a radical change was made later. For this reason I am waiting until we get everything arranged. " Several desirable dwellings with modern Improvements for rent in vicinity of the Presbyterian church. 13. II.

The phenomenally beautiful wreaths yes terday and the unusually Interesting pro grammes prepared for the observance of Easter Sunday left no excuse for church goers to remain at home. The consequence was that every church In the cily was crowded at all the various services. A greater Interest than usual was generally munifesled in the observance of the Easter services , and there was not a church in the city whobo altar was not decorated with flowers and where a programme of unusal In terest was not prepared. One of the most Important events of the day was the dedication of the Twentv-ninth street Baptlsi church , which occurred al U p. in. 'I he building Is a very' handsome lllllo edlllco fronting on Twenty-ninth street and Avenue II. and has been built to supply the necessity for more churches In the new portions tions of the city between Council Bluffs and Omaha , which are MJ rapidly setlling up. It makes the Sixth Baptist church la Iho cltv. It is largely the result of the labors of Dr. CVoley , pastor of the First Baptist church , who Marled the enterprise last Septemlier. The Jlrst contribution towards It eamefroniT J. Kvuus , who gave the lot with the provision that the building .should not cost less thin ( I.Oui ) . The next came from the Aim-Heat Home Mission society of the church , whlcl agreed to giro the Html iWH ) provided Iho building ithould cost $ l-Hi. ( With this en rouragement Dr. Cooley ami n number of the other Baptists of the city went to work , i > m tip to the present time have extended or con- Iraeted to expend $ l50 , ( ! , and Iho building Is only finished In Iho rough , with In-own walls and common chairs for neats. Of this amount only * iOO remained to bo rained yesterday. The church has a seating capacity of between 'J.VI and : tOO , and when finished will bo a credit to the 'organization and city , livery neat was occupied when the dedicator } " exercises began. Behind the pulpit were seated Kov. W. M. M. Halgh , O.I ) . , of Chicago. Kov. II. C. Woods. D.D. , of Lincoln , Neb. , Kev. Lamar of Omaha , and the pastors of the olhci Baptist churches In Council Bluffs. Kev. E. N. Harri * of the Bethany Baptist church de livered the Invocation , followed by Kev. Will- lam Atlchlson , who road an appropriate se lection from Iho scriptures. After a prayer by Kev. T. P. Thlckstun of Iho Herein ! Bapllst church came the addresses which constllutcd Iho largest part of the pro gram. Dr. Haigh spoke upon the subject of Iho "Gospel and Kn-o ( iovernmenti" Dr. Woods upon the "Gospel and Iho Modern City ; " Kev. Lamar on "Tho Power of the Church In the Community. " Shorter ad dresses were made by Kev. Koichonlmch of the Scandinavian Baptist church , and Kev. Klordim. state missionary. To htm was as signed the duly of appealing to Iho congrega tion to lift the remaining SSXI indebtedness , which ho did so effectively that the amount was raised in a few moment ! * . The church was then formally dedicated. No regular pastor has yet been assigned to the charge. but the pulpit will bo regularly .supplied until this is done. Kev. Klordan preached the llrst sermon last nlghl- The Easter services In the First Muthodlst church were very beautiful. The Interior was handsomely trimmed with flowers and foliage , plants , Easter lilies and white and red roses predominating. All the pews and the uUlet wore lillod before the services began , and many were turned away. The pro gram consisted of a responsive service by U o Sunday school , as the dale fell upon Iho reg ular children's missionary day of Iho church. The service consequently was conducted al most wholly by the children and Ihe bright Easter morn , the Easter lillles and happy faces and childish voices blended harmon iously. Bertio Khoads recited "The Last Command of Our Saviour ; Belle Woods "Easter Morning" and Mamie Mulholland and Matio Pile recited in unison a poem on- tilled "His Dominion from Sea lo Sea. " This was followed by a "Flower , Star and Gem Song" Nellie by Easaney , Nellie Jones , May Davis and Grade Carson. Kalph Smith and Lottie Newton recited appropriate selections. The anthcms-and songs by Iho school wore very impressive. The day was observed properly at St. Peter's Cathode church. The altar was pro- furselv decorated with flowers. The full Catholic ritual was observed. The solo sing ing of Mrs. Dillon was one of Iho pleasant features. St. Paul's Episcopal church , as usual on Easter Sunday , was given a summery , bowery appearance. The chancel was lllled .with flowers/ The altar was beautified by lilies and smilax. The font was almost hidden with blooming fuchsias. The pulpit was graced with roses and other flowers and the lectern WLS : graced by ferns and blossoms. The memorial windows were also adorned by banks of blooming plants. This church was the most elaborately decorated one in the city. Many attendants at other places of wo'rship dropped into St. Paul's during the day to admire the floral adornments. The services wow in keeping with the day. In the morning there was the communion scr- vice and an appropriate sermon by Kov Mr. Maekoy. The attendance was very large , every pew being occupied , and a demand for extra sittings. In the afternoon there was a children's service. At tne Congregational church the floral decorations were very pleasing. Outside of the pulpit was an arch of green , bearing tlio words in golden letters , "Ho is Kison. " In the center of the arch was a cross of ferns and Easter lilies were prominent in the whole de sign. On tlio opposite side of the pulpit was a cross , with the name I'.Icsus , " in letlcrs of gold. Besides these two large designs , were numerous plants in bloom , vines , cut flowers in beautiful vases , ete. Kev. Mr. Crofts preached one of Ids best sermons , in which ho showed that Christ's resurrection re vealed Iho grace and mercy of God , and Iho immortality which awaits nil who trust in Him. The Orpheus quartet rendered excel lent music. In tlio evening there was a very Interesting concert service in which a num ber of the young folks took part. There was a throng at St. Francis Xavier's church at both ! ) and 10 o'clock mass , which was celebrated by Kov. Father MeMenamy. The choir provided special music , which was finely rendered. The altar was profusely decorated with cut dowel's and polled plants. All of the cluirch societies , including the Ancient Order of Hibernians , Catholic Knights , St. Monica society , both sodalities and other organizations , were present in a body and attended communion. At the First Baptist church the pulpit was almost obscured behind a bank of ioliago and potted plants lllled the edlllco with fragrance. The regular choir rendered Easter music. The sermon was preached by Kov. Dr. Hough of Chicago. A beautiful floral display was made at the First Presbyterian churcli , the Easter lilies being particularly flue. The church was crowded , the aisles being filled with ohairs to accommodate those who could not secure places elsewhere. The music was in charge of Mrs. Sherman and Mrs. Ward ; Lieutenant Palmer gave a line tenor solo. The services were very Interesting. An Absolute Cure.

MinnetonUa is about eighteen miles long , with an average width of four miles , but the arms , bays and in- lols are yo numerous that the shore line spreads out over a length of 180 miles. The lake is drained by a creek , whioh , after lumbling over Iho noetic Minnehnha rails. below Minneapolis , pours into the the Mississippi near Fort Snelllng. The cause of the sudden alarm Is in the steady I'ect'.ssion of the waters of the lake.

The county and park commissioners ire nonplussed , 'Jttr , after damming iho outlet , the water still receded mil left the dam high and dry.

Thuso nrc llio most reninrkublo llyuros of the entire tabulation , and they alone ' would entitle us to say tlinttho n'bolition of the stamp duty and the repeal of tlio paper duties have fully answered the ex pectations of their promoters. In all the long catalogue of Mr. Glad stone's brilliant reforms there is none of more momentous consequence than the repeal of the jwper duties. And there is none perhaps which gave him greater trouble. His enemies were often those of his own household. Lord Pttl- meraton had no enthusiasm whatever for the measure , and Lord John lUiss-ell was lukewarm. On the other hand Mr. Gladstone owed much to the enlightened support of at least one conservative , Sir Edward Uulwer Lytton. For a long time in this great undertaking men had to walk by Iho inner light , for they could not find sullleient guidance in the party principles , and many walked very much awry. All sorts of dreadful consequences quences were predicted .of the reform , and one in particular , that it would Hood the country with literature as nasty as it was cheap. It bus not had precisely that effect , for in the former quality we have nothing to compare with some papers of the period anterior to the abe lition of the duties. 116 Wan an Old "nones" J Lew Benedict , the veteran burnt cork artist who has rattled the bones in a number of minstrel organi/ations for nearly u quarter of a century , and who is now pursuing his profession with George "Wilson's company , was seated at a table in Henblin's after the perform ance Thursday night , lunching with half a dozen of his companions , says tile New Haven Register. Over their salad and Licer the minstrels began to talk of old times , but their conversation did not in terest a party of Yale seniors at an ad joining table until Benedict happened to remark : " 1 first became n bones man about twentv-two years ago , and I'll never for get what a time I had of it. It had al ways been the ambition of my life , and when I finally got there you can't im agine how happy I felt. ' ' The words attracted the attention of the Yale men , and after a moment's con ; versation , one of them approached Bene dict and said : "Excuse me , but did I hear you say you were a Bones man ? ' ' "Yes , sir , " was the reply. " 1 have leen ) a bones man for the past twenty- two years. " Tim Yale man then did something which Benedict could not fathom , and as the minstrel sat in silent astonish ment the senior continued : "J guess there must bo some mistake. You don't belong lo Bones.1 "Don't belong to bones ! What in the world are you driving at , if I may ask the question. " 'Nothing , only I made a mistake , that was all , and the senior returned to his seat. But the mystery could not go without explanation , and a few moments ifterwards Hie minstrel and the Yale nan agreed to compare notes. Then the Yale man found out that Benedict had jcen a bones man in a minstrel show for , wenty-two years , and Benedict leiirned. hat the Yale man had been initiated nto the Bones last , luno. Both oxplcn- itions seemed to give mutual satisfac- ion , and- during the rest of the evening lie minstrels and the students but iroinul the same table. Hoi- Holly Ciiiurilcil liy CntH.
