revive from the inactivity of the heated term
and the work of the fall and winter is being
carefully planned.
Tlio Sunday school. ! have been continued
through the hot weather and most of them
nro In excellent condition for a vigorous
growth. Many of the teachers who liuvo

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

"An Island funcrnl hn Jti't occurred. Mr

hts'sllont form Into the church , and Ur. Tat-
lock , the secretary of the Kplscopal liouso of

pressive service of the church of which ho
is so conspicuous tin ornament. Itvivs my
privilege to assist ititho sorvlco. I have
spoken In n Cnlhollch church , a Jewish syn
agogue , and in the pulpits of nbout nil ihu
denominations Into \vlilcli tlio Christian
church Is dlvlilcil ; but this was the Hut tlmo
tlintiny volco WIM hoard from the reading
( leak of nn EpUeopal church. Doubtless
Christian denominations are coming into
closer relations of ntnlty nud comity , nud pjr-
hnps the death ot this swcot boy , on nn is
land far out ut soil , contributed to this dcalr-
ublo consummation. At least 1 was pleased
to think Unit this wni so ; ns wo walked
through the meadows , a sorrowful company ,
such ns bore John the Baptist to his burial ,

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.
"I am not much of an orator , " said Mr ,
Wolfe , "for during the past nlnotocn years
my volco has been employed very largely lu
calling hogs. " [ Applause. ]
Air. Wolfe then proceeded to pull the veil
from the pages of tho'past nud show how the
people had been robbed by the election of
men who do not represent them. ' 'Tho brain
nnd brawn of the masses , " said the speaker ,
"have not been honored for years In the
halls of congress. Aiy friend , Air. Deck , and
myself have been callwl paupers by some of
the newspapers , " said Mr. Wolfe. "I nin
proud to say that I am'ilot possessed of boodle
for campaign purposes. I nave grown weary
of attending stnto conventions nnd being told
thnt wo must vote for' this or that man for
governor because hehad ' money to
spend In the campaign. It hns been
boodle , boodle , all thoM-ay along , und I have
grown weary of it. It-Mr. Dech or myself
are elected , wo will ! * elected not through
the influence ot boodle , but through lioucst
merit. " -
Mr. Wolfe rautlonoiJiihls hcnrors not to
trust the pretentious of political platforms ,
but to trust men of principle rather than the
promises nmdo in print by the various state
conventions. Ho .then proceeded to
toll thu nudienco that our country
Is rapidly going to ruin. Tlio dreadful condi
tions existing In Ireland , where landlords
grind the Ilfo out of the laboring clnsios , nro
rapidly llnding foothold In the United States ,
"This Is becoming a ( r"vornmcnto ( the rich
by tbo rich for the rich , " said the snoakur.
Thu relief needed , Mr.Volfo held , could only
bo attained by the election of men right
from the laboring classes. The candi
dates on thu Independent ticket , ho
declared , are muii of the people , and If they
uro elected the Interests of the massed will be
protected.
Some ono called for something about tariff ,
and Mr. Wolfe naid that ho did not want to
enter uiion a discussion of that subject at so
late nn hour , 1 lo closed by urging the voters
11 stand by thu candidate on the iudo-
pcnduut ticket.
Mr. liluko , chalrjiimi of thoitato central
committee , was called upon for u * putx-u and
made n few brief remarks , stating that the
outlook for victory for the party is very
bright.

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

lie had not otio , "but five headquarters in
New York , in each of wlilch ho displayed
a signal ability for becoming inebriated ,
insulting and using the most horrible

at a considerable distance , by the other

town. Instead of wearing brondcloth
and tine linen , tho. average lighter is now
attired in the plainest and cheapest
clothes. Where champagne was for
merly not too good for him , ho is now
only too glad to get beer. 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. Publlo favor
1ms turned nwoy from it , und the most ox-
travngant antics of the ccmcdluu can hardly
keep it alive.
The Old Gontlomnn WAN Kriiulc.
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

News. Whllo ho was disporting hlmielf at

"Charles , these may be my luit words to you ,
but horu they uro , you were a * fool to

stamped buclc'iiiUStlio house. The dramatist
reached the grornd safely nnd expressed
himself ns perfectly satisfied that the old

"Ilnvo you soon Miss Ada Rcliimi" is tlio

I am not prepared to say that America has

fact that I'jiigliind cutmot lioust such n coin-

must bo pleased and proud to see this Now

that actors who are used to playing together
must get necu.stomod to each others' methods

nnd it also stands to reason that a company

Miss Davenport Is copying nud arranging

fuinlliaruo herself with every character In
tlio pluy and to become imbued with the spirit
of the tragedy in nil Its bearings , and so well
has she succcedded Umt yesterday , while
speaking of her great play , she declared em
phatically that "Antony was the most vacil
lating man she hud over mot , " and did not sue
for two inluutos where the laugh c.nno in.
"Sardou hus made a wonderful play , " she
snld then , "and a wonderful woman.
If the play is not a success it will not bo the
fault of Urn author , but of the actress. It is
so wonderful. Ho has not changed anything ,
of course , from what history tells , hut ho has
nsea passages In the life of Uk-opatni that are
most unfamiliar to us , but nil the mow Im
pressive for that. "
"What about the aipsl" Miss Davenport
