Many of the teachers who liuvo 7 been out of the city on vacations have re turned and the classes are filling up and re ceiving now life and enthusiasm under the inspiration of cooler weather. The abandonment of the Sunday school.nnd church service af , Doyd's opera house lias been n disappointment to a great many who have deeply inirmstcd in that work , but most of thosn who attended there have found a plnce In Home of the established churches about the city. Many have gone with the Hov. Mr. Savage to tlrtj Notvinnn church on Ht. Mary's nveimo , and the work done at the opera house Irtst winter nnd spring is bearing fruit In ninny wnys.

Tin : Hix several days ago published a ref erence to a conference between a committee from the Iowa district of the United Uretli- rcn church and a committee from each of the cities of Kearney nudYork with reference to relocating the college of that religious denom ination , the latter cities contesting for tlio prize. The matter published in TUB HIM : wns based upon the representation of a mem ber of the church who attended the meeting. CNow comes a committee of citizens of Gib bon who do.slro to controvert some of the Btntcmeiits rnulor which they claim nro nt- tributablo to a desire on the part of the United lircthrcn church to magnify the im portance of their work In that place. The Inhabitants of Gibbon nnd vicinity , they write , are very much Interested in edu cation , nud their graded public schools nro of a high order , being ono of the accredited schools to the stnto university , a diploma from which admits the pupil to the second year's course ot the preparatory department of the university. When the county scat was removed from Gibbon to Kearney the court house , u line three-story brick building , was bought by llio Gibbon school district und an academy was established , and nourished for three or four yours with increasing interest nnd at tendance under the management of the dis trict. This building was donated by the district to the United llrctliron college of Tolodo.Ia. , under the stipulation Unit ( here should he maintained n .school of high grade , and In case of failure the building was to revert to " .the district. The citizens also gave a cash donation with hearty nud cordial support to thu school , both In scholars nud influence , until the management became such as to gradually destroy the coulidcnco of tlio com munity. At a special meeting of the school district , called at the Instance of the friends of the in stitution , on the L'd inst. , the following reso lution was passed by u practically unanimous vote : i Whereas , The Gibbon cnlleglato Institute , a lirniiuliiif the United llrothcrn sectarian cnl- liV'uof Toledo.

THE INDEPENDENT CAMPAIGN , It Was Opened at Exposition Hall in This City Last Night. SPEECHES BY DECII AND WOLFE. Vast Amount of Ground Covered and Nearly Every Question Now Before the People Toiiclicd UIHIII. The independorittparty opened the cam- ign in Omaha last night. A mooting had been announced for Expo sition hall and at S o'clock thcro wore about seventy men there. The lending speakers of the occaslouwcroW , H. Dech , candidate for lieutenant governor , nnd J. V. Wolfe , candidate for the ofilco of state treasurer. Mr. Dech is an earnest , candid man , who speaks with u great deal of firmness upon the : epics of the campaign , Ills address was spread over a vast amount of ground nnd touched upon nearly every point in the field. Speaking of the price of grain , ho said that the present prices were good enough , but there is no crop in Nebraska. The Nebraska farmers were told last year by the republican party that overproduction was the trouble. Now they ro in the predicament of the Dutchman , who snld , "When it rains soup then I have no spoon , " Mr , Dech snld ho had studied political economy years and years before ho began to matte public speeches. Ho had studied the theories of the leading men as ho followed the plow , nnd ho believed that nil the way from Samuel P. Chaso'to John Sherman ho had gotten at the gist of what the leading writers upon the inonoy question nnd political economy had to offer. Ho said that there was no hope In the two old parties , but the people must cut loose nnd elect men of courage and conviction , such as the candi dates on the independent ticket. The speaker then paid bis respects to the candidates on the democratic and republican tickets. Ho said ho know them to bo honor able , well educated gentlemen. Ho had no especial fault to 11 ml with them , but they are a part of a tvranicnl machine. fn speaking of money Mr. Dech said : "Tho chief function of money Is to produce wealth out of crude material. " IIo Illustrated his idea by speaking of thu coal mlno nnd of unpicked coffee. IIo hold that the theory and practice of per mitting the children of wealthy people , mid their children's children , from ono genera tion to another , to enjoy the benefits of a great fortune is wrong nud that the govern ment should make It Impossible for a man to pile up n stupendous fortune and leave it all to his progeny. Air. Deeh then touched upon state legisla tion , nnd expose I govor.il alleged steals In the passage of certain bills. Air. J. V. Wolfe , candidate for state treas urer , was then Introduced. IIo said ho had lust finished getting in his hay before leaving his farm near Lincoln , nnd had not taken tlmo to prepare a lengthy speech.

It is a sorrowful fact at least some qucorly constructed people may deem it so but nevertheless it is true thnt prize fighting' nnd prize fighters have seen their best dnys in the Empire city , says the I'hllndolphlu Inquirer's Now York Letter. It is only a few seasons ago Hint they wore the iidiuircd of all admirow. They wore the star.s of ono hundred uporliiig houses and ruled n little world ot their own , but now there are none BO poor to do him reverence. The fault lies en tirely within themselves. The moment they prosper they become ugly , patron izing1 , drunken and disreputable.

In the snlopn on the Bowery kept by Steve Brodie , the brldgo jumper , there is a rour room which contains a ring and all the para phernalia of fistianti. Not long ago tbo cost of a light to order was not less than SL'UO. Today you can have a fierce and bloody ring display for Si5 ! , and even then you make ononiies of half a dozen Imrd-up boxers who consider themselves blighted at tlio employment of the two or four whom you have engaged. At Kel ly's , which is a Sixth avenue saloon on the cornet1 ot Thirty-first street , owned and kept by the famous ton thousand- dollar beauty of the Boston baseball club , times are equally hard. The few lighters who do come in are poorly dressed , dirty , hungry and thirsty. They lounge around and loaf away their evenings in the hope that some woallhv swell will engage thoin for a parlor light in his own home. Most of these pugilistic artists have bowed to the in evitable end .have become bouncers , "special detectives" or "private deputy sheriffs" in saloons , hotels and summer watering places. There are three score of thorn at Bath , Coney Island , Kocka- way , South Beach , Glen Island and Uowory Bay beach. It must bo con fessed that they keep those famous re sorts in u moro orderly condition than was over known in their histories. The Grotesque Oporu Dying Out. Who shall account for the vagaries of the atrical fashion , lnnulrcs , the Illustrated American. There was a tlmo when the gro tesque form of opera which the Italian lent to Prance scorned to bo endowed with immor tality. It begat commodious like Wilson , singers llko Lillian Husscll. managers Hko the Arousons ; It oven engendered librettists and musicians. Of all kinds of entertain ment It seemed the most enduring , being as grateful to the women in a stroll among the shops , nnd to the men ns tin nftor-dlnnur nap. And today it Is dying , dying.

The author of "A Midnight Hell , " Charles Hoyt , celebrated his thirtieth birthday in July , and to refute the suggestion that ho was getting to bo nn old man , climbed to the top of u t.ill tro ) on his lawn , says Dunlup's Stagu News.

It stands to reason that actors who are used to playing together must get necu.stomod to each others' methods nnd bo able to produce a bettor ensemble thiin a Krouiiof comparative strangers can do , nnd it also stands to reason that a company continuing stars of the brilliancy of Miss Ada Helian , John Drew , Mm.
