n meeting will bo held at the Young Men's
Christian association rooms to organize n

without solicitation , to take each 100 worth

In introducing Mr. 1C. Hosewater , who had
been invited to mnko the address of the even
ing , Mr. Murphy said : "I have been bespeak
ing your friend mid mine , Mr. Hosewater , to
address one of the.se meetings and ho 1ms con
sented to do so. All along I have had his
sympathy and bis support , in faet the press
of this city has warmly supported mo
[ applause | -and it has been no pretended
support either. "
1 now Introduce to yon Mr. E. Kosewatcr ,
the gentleman you know mid love.
After the great applause which followed
bad subsided , Mr. Kosewatcr said : For all
these years since 1 have not smoked and dur
ing all the time I was at that station I did not
touch u drop of liquor , nor did J go where
liquor was kept. 1 don't think I deserve any
particular credit for what I did then any
more than I deserve credit for never having
been drunk. [ Applause. ] Never having
known the craving for intoxicants
I deserve no particular credit , because
I am so constituted that I have
no desire for liquor. I do not pretend to suv
that the pledge I then made for that time 'I
linve always kept ; that I have never taken
wine or beer in a social way. I don't seek to
deceive you. The point 1 wish to make by
the story I have told you is that arty young
man in u responsible position , reqnfring a
clear head and a steady hand , can and should
ro.strain his appetite , unless his consti
tution has been undermined by hereditary
disease.
Only those who uro able to control their
appetites and passions can bo successful in
life.
life.J5ut
J5ut there is another side of this question.
I was astonished and grieved a few days ago
when I saw in a local paper a communication
from n minister of the gospel , if i remember
correctly , suggesting the most severe pun
ishment to be meted out to those who allowed
themselves to become intoxicated. 1 think
that Is all wrong and cruel. 1 think the
trouble with those who want temperance en
forced is that they do not realize the heroic
effort required on tlio part of some men to ab-
Btain from liquor. They do not ivalizo
that them are men with n craving
for 1'quor so strong within them that it is
nearly as necessary for them as it is for the
baby over there to have Its bottle.
A\ lint Is the common usage when a man in
the ordinary walks of life becomes intoxi
cated by yielding to his uppotlto and lulls
upon the street ) Ho is kicked by a police
man , then dumped into a patrol wagon and
thrown into a lllthy dungeon in the compan
ionship of criminal and vermin covered va
grants , and when ho is limdly released ho
comes out with a feeling of such degradation
that ho allows himself to sink lower mid
still lower.
And what Is the treatment of those afllieted
with a terrible hereditary craving for liquor ?
Theio was an ago when the insane and embe-
clle men and women were treated as crimi
nals mid punished for their misfortune. The
stupid people who today manage our innnlri-
pal atfairs say that those unfortunate men
who have a hereditary craving for
liquor must ho treated as criminals ,
mid they are so brutally and eruellv treated
that they sink lower and lowcrum ! jfnuUyeml
their existence In delcrium tremens. If a man
falls on the street in an epileptic lit men will
rush to his assistance , put him in a carriage
mid send him to the hospital if he has no
liome. If a man falls upon the stivet in
drunken helplessness , then what ! Ho is
pounded like a brute mid then Incarcerated
in Jail or sent to the workhouse.
1 don't know as there is n sure euro for
those mulcted with hereditary and habitual
drunkenness , but 1 do think that if hos
pitals were established for the euro of inebri
ates many men would bo made better , would
bo made thrifty mid resi > ectablo citizens.
Hut that is not the law. The Minnesota
legislature at Its last session passed a bill
matting Intoxication a felonv. Will Unit
save drunkards or reclaim them ?
I bcllevo the course to ho taken Is the one
adopted by my friend Murphy to redeem men
by love and kind treatment.
Teach your boys that sobriety is the key to
success ; that temperaiu-o is necessary to IIIIIH
plness and prosperity , and when you have
clone this ; when you have provided hospitals
for inebriates rather than prisons , then look
Into the fashionable clubs , wnonce young men

lie belongs to the upper crust. ( Applause. I
I think If one of these was arrested and held
up as an example it would do far more towards
reforming young men than clubbing a lot of-
| Kor devils cursed with a hereditary appetite.
[ Deafening applause. ]

tion. " lApplawo. ]
Mr. Murphy then started "Jesus , Lover of
My Soul , " the congregation Joining him.
"it was with great pleasure , " said Mr.
Murphy when the singing wus over , "that 1
listened to the eloquent words of Mr. Kose-
water , " and then ho took up much
the sumo strain as Mr. Kosewatcr had spoke
In , urging that men could bo saved only hv
love. He was followed by K. A. L. Dick , ami
Mr. Murphy spoke again , taking for his theme
the redeeming power of love In the home ,
Illustrated by u number of his pathetle
anecdotes.
A large number of people accepted the Invi
tation extended at the conclusion of his ad
dress and signed the pledge.

make a new assignment of cases. A week
will bo devoted to equity and two weeks to
law. None of the criminal cases went to
trial , the indicted parties all pleading guilty.
This will give extra time for civil cases.
Court will continue in session for about six
weeks longer , as the next term does not open
until September 2. Several of the civil chest

"I wish Tim Br.i : would Institute Inquiries
ns to the practice ii other cities for the pur
pose of determining' Whether or not Memorial
day Is soldiers' day or simply a day set apart
for citizens to pardde , ride in carriages and
make a show , " miM flu old soldier yesterday
ns ho sat nursing a leg that bud been pierced
by a rebel mlnnio ball twenty-live years ago.
" 1 have not marched in line on Decoration
day for the past three years , simply because
the boys have always been compelled to
march at the tail end of the procession. It
has al ways been the Hie department , the po
lice ofllcors , the citizens and tradesmen In
carriages , the various civic societies , and
last , as If they were of the least Importance
on that day , have como the old scarred veter
ans. My idea is that Decoratii n day is pre
eminently the soldier's day , and for the rea
son that they are hhoved in the I nek ground ,
and even the school children are given prece
dence and prominence over then , I have not
marched in line for tbrco ycnis , and will
never do so again until the n ako up of
the column Is changed , and the
.soldier given the prominence the day and
his deeds deserve.1
The attention of Colonel Siipp was called
to the matter. "Tho suhhi-r that complains
iu that way b unworthy the hui.ors showed
upon him , besides It Indicates a lamcntabli
lack of knowlo.lgo of the commonest intlltarj
tactics , The position of escort Is always i
position of honor , and where should the cs
cert bo but at the rear I What soldier couh
ask a prouder privilege than to escort bun
drcds of ladles and happy , white robed child
rcn , each laden with wreaths and garlands
to place on the graves of his comrades win
passed the picket line beyond hlml The
right , or front. Is no more a position of honoi
than the rear for the ecort. But the Grant !
Army of the Republic Iwva settle this matter
themselves , mid the public has nothing to do
with It. The line of march Is approved In
open post , and there Is the time to kick , anil
not through the newspapers.
"Another thing. That soldier has the
wrong Idea of what Decoration day Is. It
Isn't soldiers' day at all. It is the dtij
when the great public of this great nation
unites In honoring the soldiers by keeping
the graves green of those who have fallen , ol
recounting their deeds of valor and their
services and teaching the rising generation to
honor and revere them.
"If there Is a place In the land where Me
morial day has been n success Council Bluffs
Is that place , and I am sorry to know that
there Is one soldier hero , who does not know
his duly any better than to make such a silly
complaint. " " .

A Pyramid Pool Match.
The pyramid pool match at the Manhattan
last evening was won by A. Vcrcheval of
Omaha. The match was best six in eleven ,
but only ten games were played. Vercheval
won the llrst five mid Johnson the next four
Vcrcheval taking the tenth , which was
closely contested. A large crowd was pres
ent \vitness the match , which was very In
teresting throughout. Difllcult shots were
made by both players , but Vercheval played
the steadier game. Johnson was sure of the
hard shots , but fell down on the easy ones.
The ninth game was the most interesting of
the series.
The referees were Will Stcphcnson of this
city , Mr. Kahn of Omaha. The purse of $100
was turned over to Mr. Verchoval at the
close of the match.
Several Omniums were present , but there
was little side betting. The match was
played in an hour and ten minutes.

to Lay the Dust.
"If these street sprinkling fellows were
half as prompt about their sprinkling as they
are about their collecting wo wouldn't have
so much dust Hying about , " declared a cer
tain business man as he stopped in front of a
Broadway hardware store yesterday after
noon to borrow a boo with which to remove a
few shovels full of real estate from his op
tics. "Either there are not enough sprink
lers , or the drivers don't" attend to their
work , for the streets are drier every day than
the average citizen is on Sunday. They get
around pictty regularly to get their pay , but
I don't propose to stand it much longer. 1
supposed that they were to keep the streets
wet , whether it required one sprinkling a day
or a dozen of them. We will have to do some
thing , for this rstato of affairs is terrible.
It makes life on the street almost unendur
able , and ns for displaying goods in front of
the stores it is absolutely out of the question.
What I want to know is why injtbo name of
suffering humanity the council don't buy a
street sweeper. They have been trying for
four years to get up steam enough to do that
very thing , but no sweeper has thus far put
in an appearance. A while ago we heard
that they were going to have ono of the
Omaha sweepers como over and show what
it could be , but even that hasn't been done ,
and the paved streets are in no better jon-
dition than the unpavcd ones , so far as dust
is concerned. If wo can't do anything else
wo had better have the flro department turn
out and wash oft the pavingjust forachange. "

Claims Dama OH Tor Libel.
The trial of an interesting libel suit com
mences today in the district court at Glen-
wood , Judge Thornell presiding. It is en
titled John Iloneyinan vs R. G. Priest et ul.
Iloneyinan was some time ago elected town
clerk , and on entering Into olllco ho claimed
to discover that the preceding clerk , Ed
Knickerbocker , had been mixing accounts ,
and that some of the pages of the record book
had been cut out , apparently to cover up the
facts. Iloneyinan mhdo his suspicions known ,
and a rather bitter llt'lit followed , in which
Iloneyinan was made a target for numeipus
charges , among which wns ono to the effect
that ho had been the cause of the
mutilation of the records. Ho had Scotch
blood in his veins , and he kept at the investi
gation until ho secured from Knickerbocker
and his bondsmen about $1,000 for the hem-lit
of Indian Creek township. During the con
troversy a very bitter article was published
in the Mills Cimnty Journal , signed by the
trustees of the township , and it was in this
artii-lo that .statements wore made which
H ( ft man claims were libeloiis to him. It Is
for Vso statements that ho commenced this
suit. It will bo hotly contested. The dam
ages i iilmed are $10,000. Attorneys Shinn
and Anderson are engaged by the plaintiff ,
and Attorneys McPherson and Gcnung for
the defendants.

. A Union Park In Itcallty ,
i At the meeting of the board of directors ol
j the motor company In Omaha Tuesday afternoon -
, noon , nu action was taken that will bo of In
I terost to the people of both cities , and this
was nothing more nor less than an agreement
to tnko a'onethird Interest In
! the Union Driving park of this
j city. Tin : Bin : announced several
i weeks ago thnt several Omaha gentlemen ,
i among whom are Messrs. Brown , Paxton ,
I McShanc , Creightou and others , were desirous
of purchasing about half of the stock in thi
driving park , and making It a union park In
reality. Instead of In name only , as hereto
fore. The motor company-was solicited to g < i
Into the scheme and It has agreed to do this.
The plan now Is for Omaha to own one-third
of the shares , Council Bluffs one-third , and
the motor company , composed of both Oinahn
and Council Blulls men , the remaining third.
This -vlll necessitate the sale of two-thirds
of the shares , but a committee has been at
work and the required number of stockhold
ers have been found who have agreed to sell
their .stock in the association , and It is highly
probable that the deal will shortly bo com
moted. The motor company will extend its
line to the driving park and furnish direct
communication with the business centers of
both Omaha mid Council Bluffs.
President Stewart stated yestcrdav after-
I noon that the company was willingto do what
It could to put the park on a solid basis.
They would extend their line to the park
whether the proposed deal was consummated
or not. It Is proposed to haven series of sum
mer meetings this year provided the neces
sary arrangements con be made in time.
