J. .T. Stewart says ho wants it distinctly

tiring member , says that ho is a candidate
for tlio nomination , subject to tlio will of ttio
great democratic party , Ho thinks It would
bo n very dllllcult position for a man to 1111
unless he either was a prlro debtor or clso
had had a great deal of experience In the
work which devolves upon the members of
tlio school board. Ho therefore thinks that
no ono has any better title to the position
than lie. His muscles having been
hardened by repeated contests with othci
members of the board , and lie expects to press
those claims upon his constituency at the
earliest opportunity. Candidates for tlio po
sition are by no means numerous although it
is less than two months until election. It
seems to be the universal opinion that who
ever is elected to the position must
iiinlto up his mind to do Just so
much lighting in order to keep along with
the procession and there being no salary con
nected with tbo position there is not much In
centive to fauo the music.

The 1'ro.sbytorian church was taxed to its
utmost capacity last night to accommodate
the crowds that assembled thcro to hear the
far-famed "boys' friend , " Colonel Iloge-
liTnil of Lincoln , Nob. Tlio Congregational
church united with the Presbyterian in a
union service , in order to give as many as
possible n chance to attend.
After the usual preliminary exorcises had
been gene through with , Dr 1'helps intro
duced the speaker of the evening , who began
In a straightforward way to give his views
upon the subject of boys , in general and In [
particular. '
"Several years ago , " said ho , "I came to
tbo conclusion , after giving the subject con
siderable thought , that wo had nil the ma
chinery that anyone could want for sending a
boy to prison to reform him , but that wo had
no way at all of preventing boys from becom
ing lit subjects for such n place. During the
years from the time ho leaves school until he
starts out In ( lie world for himself , thcro is
absolutely no chance for him unless ho hap
pens to belong to a family which will protect
him from evil Influences during that dnuger-
ous norlod.
"Wo have 21,1)00 , ) boys In the various re
form schools of the land , ntul 80,003 men m
the penitentiaries. It easts on an average
8iXK , ( ) to convict each of ( huso men and put
him behind the bars , it scorned to mo that
wo ought to have some way of stopping this
nwful waste of bojs and money. "
The speaker then proceeded to unfold nil
plan which ho had conceived , and which , no
inr as ono man could try it , had succeeded
well. Ho renounced faith In the reform school
plan some years ugo. " ( Hvo every bov em i-
ployment ; pass laws requiringim intelligence )
ofllco to be kept In every county , nnd you
liavo gene n long way toward solving this dif
ficult problem. "
Mr. Hoguland , having thus' outlined his
plan , then told a numbcrof iiiclilcntstbatliad
happened In connection with his work in dif
ferent cities nil over tlio country ; how ho had
taken hold of classes of unruly ; oys In mis
sion schools und toned them down uy simply
having them repeat the Lord's prajor ; how
ho had p-ild the toughest llttlo waifs In toxyn
half dollars to walk the streets carrying IIu
banner ana drumming up .recruits for his
ragged regiment ; nnd how these very boys
who wore thought to bo beyond redumption
afterwards became his most ardent suppoit-
crs. tit
crs.Tho Address wns listened to with the closest
attention by every ono present , but
there wcro none in the house who were moro :
deeply Interested than about forty boys who
hnd been gathered up on the streets und hud
been seated la the front row of puws. After
the address n collection was taken to assist
tlio colonel in hU work , A committee was
also appointed , consisting of Mayor Macrae , ,
Superintendent Sawyer and Mr , 10. M. Hun- :

.Minor Mention and
Personal.
Hcv. I , . A. Hall , the newly called pastor of
, ho First Baptist church , delivered a strong
iml simple sermon yesterday morning on the
3hlef attribute of the Deity as considered by
by wan and as announced In tlio holy writ.
Hi sermon was designed to show that the
conception that men had of the Creator con-
rollcd and moulded the character of their
.eciilir . and rcllglom lives , He based his nr-
; mnctit chiefly upon the 3. > th verso of the
O'Jth psalm , where David records theCreator
us saying : "I have sworn by my holiness that
will not Ho unto David. " It has always
been customary for men to swear by somo-
tnlng above them and the higher that some
thing the moro sacred , their nduratlon. )
There is nothing higher than (5od himself ,
.mil when Ho swore to David He must swear
; iy that attribute which lie considered L'rcat-
cst In hi | character. This was not His love ,
mercy , power or Justice , but His holiness.
Man's ' notion of what constitutes tho-grentest
thing In God's ' character Influences his char
acter us a man and his conception of his
duties as it Christian more tima all clso.
Every circle must liavo a center , and so with
man's theolojrv. U is that which builds
hU theology. You can tell the character of
any man In nny ago by his conception of the
greatest thing In God's character. If It is
high nnd exalted ° o the character will be ,
and vice versa. Kcpicr. the great astrono
mer , in an outburst of mnluro when his
mind partially grasped the mighty breadth
of the universe , cried out , "O God , I breathe
Thy thoughts after Thee. " The character of
the man may appear strong , but yet It is
wralc , who lovcs Goil because Ho has power ,
mind , Intellect. I do not love power ; it
is not lovable. There is nothing In
wisdom trfat you can love nnd worship.
What Is that attribute In God's character
Unit transcends nil and commands worship *
Is It Justice ? IMcture the Creator up yonder
In the sky with a pair of balances weighing
the motives and actions of men. You will
becomciof th" sumo kind of character which
you typify , simply cold and mathematical.
The chief attribute of God's character is
not love , notwithstanding it is the fashion to
preach It and believe it today , Love is al
ways to bo ileicrniincct by something
else. The devil can love Just as
well ns God. Love , hate and
Jealousy are simply manifestations of
character. I , and you , will bo Just that sort
of a Christian that wo think God tn be. Holi
ness is thu main thing In God. Ho is not an
indulgent father , only lua measure. If God
should will it today that nil men should bo
bavcd Ho would sin.Vo are petting too sen
timental , There is too much sentimental
gush in our churches and In society. Wo are
too prone to banish hell. Wo are drifting too
far away from old Puritan Ideas. The next
reformer that comes upon the stnpo will bo
calling the church back to some tilings .for
gotten long ago , as Martin Luther called the
church back.

Solomon's New I-Jnterprise.
Many people In this locality will remember
Daniel II. Solomon , who was largely Inter
ested tn building the Vv'abash road into this
city. At that time ho was secretary and
treasurer of the company. Ho was well
blown nlonp thoentirollno from Pattonsburg
tothuBlutls. Ho resided for years ntGlen-
uood. A special to the New York Times
from St. Louis says : "Mr. Solomon's ex
perience ns a railroad man began on the Coun
cil Bluffs &St. Louis road , ivhichwas then a
part of the St. Louis , Kansas City it North
ern , of which B.V. . Lewis , Jr. , was presi
dent. Ho worked up the local aid in the
Missouri counties of Atchison and Nodawny ,
and took farmers' ' notes for corn , payable two
years after the road was finished and in
operation. The valuation of the corn was
put at 10 or 15 cents above the market price
then ruling , the idea being that the opening
of the now ; route the tOiulf route bo called
it would advance the value of farm pro
ducts along the line , ana in token of tbo com
pany's good faith he declared ho was willing
to take subscriptions in corn at the advanced
rate.
"Ho was very successful , nnd a largo sum
was raised in this manner in Missouri. After
the road was built Mr. Solomon practiced
law a while in Iowa. Then his health failed
him and luumcinl difficulties cinnoupoii him
and ho dropped out of sight , A few months
ngo ho was heard of In Now York , where ho
was pertectlng a scheme for the building of a
great line of railiond across Venezuela in
South America. Yesterday n letter wus re
ceived by onw of his old St. Louis friends , nn
ofllclal of the Wflbosh company , which Is the
successor of the Council Bluffs and St. Louis
company's franchise. The letter was dated
Grand Hotel de Caracas , Caracas , Vene
zuela , S A. , and convoyed the Information
that it was an assured thing that ho would
obtain the charter and concession for the
railroad which had taken him to South Amer
ica. mm asking for copies of certain leases
and legal papers which ho hail used In the
organization and transfer of the Council
Blulfs & St. Louis road. Dan Solomon , ns
everybody called him , is evidently upon his
feet again. lie Is n man of untiring energy
and uersisteney of character , nnd just the
kind of a man to make a success of such a
venture. Ho. writes to his friends hero that
ho expects to send them passes for a rldo *
ever his now railroad In " \ cnczucla next win

Manager Chailcs Atkins of the Council
Bluffs telephone exchange has invented a
novel moans of distributing Incandescent
electric llKht In various parts of tils ofllco.
His Invention was created by the necessity
of having a strong llpht for examining the
dollc.ito . ( Mints of the switch board , and his
deoiro not to bankrupt tbo company by call
ing for a liijlit In front of each section of the
board. His device consists of a portable car
that travels on a metallic circuit the full
length of the switch board. The track con
sists of two copper wires that uro strung the
full length of the room about four
Inches f roia the ceiling- mid just back of the
switch board. Both wires nio connected
through a fuse box with the mala Incandes
cent circuit. On these wires , which nru about
four Inches apart , travels the car , which Is a
kiuall wooJou affair with four inctulic wheels ,
two of which rest on each wire , A flexible
cord , havlntttwo electric conductors , passes
tipihrough the center of the car , and each of
the conductors istoldtrod to the ( ratnoof the
car. Tno lamp socket is attached to the
other end of the aoublo cord In the usual
manner. With thU arrangement the car can
bo run alone tbo wires xvith cine , currying
the light wherever needed. It is mi Ineonious
device , nnd rollccts a good deal of credit xipoa
the originator.

Tlio Farmer u 1'olitles.
At tbo recent mooting of the "Western Iowa
formers' institute- held nt Shelby , Hon. B ,
F. Clayton discussed the social nnd political
duties ot the farmer , and was heartily ap
plauded. Ho said tn part :
"Tho question then arises , Snail the farmer
go Into politics I I answer most emphatically ,
yes , with his coat off and both sleeves rolled
up. I believe that every farmer should DO a
politician , not in an odious sense , but in the
scuso of ono who has at heart the host Inter
ests of his state and nation. Ho should take
that interest In politics that would enable
him to vote intelligently upon nny and nil
questions that alTect him and his neighbor ,
and especially questions that are hostile mid
threaten the productive industries of the
country. The political town caucus Is only
called once or twice cnch year , and when
it does meet the farmer that utllliutes
with that party should bo there and should
seek to secure the best candidate or tbo most
practical man to represent lift nnd his neigh
bors' Interests , In every position from the
smallest township ofllco to the 'highest posi
tion In the gift of the people. You tukoncnr-
ly uny county In the state of Iowa nnd the
funning element attend the local caucus of
his party and their power will bo felt to the
extent of forcing tbo political trickster and
dishonest demagogue to the rear , und honest ,
faithful men would bo called to administer
the financial affairs of the country , aud In my
opinion taxes would grow much less mid de
falcations bo fewer. I would not have you
understand that none but farmers are honest ; I
do not mean that we should vote for no per
son but a farmer , nut what I Jo mean Is ,
that farmers should take a deep.- interest In
the political affairs of the country. I huvo
no great censure for the way the two great
politlcid uurtles of the country uro managed ,
\Vo \ are largely to blame , why i Let us look
at the way It is dtiiio. In the opening up of a
campaign the township , commlttcoman calls
the primaries. It is done by order of his
party , und ho docs right. The comniitteeinan
may bo some politician simply because no
other person would take It. The time of
meeting arrives , a half dozen , more or less ,
meet and appoint roprotontativai to the pro
posed convention ana adjourn. What else
cau they do ) The fact that they were there
is commendable. If thoyIWd not been , the
town would Imvo no representative. If they
have appointed n farmer quite llkolv ho has
failed to go. The dcplornblp part of it Is that
fifty or ono hundred fnuaitrs should have
been In that meeting and net let the golden
opportunity pass. When wo sit quietly nt
homo and fall to discharge our duties nt such
times , thcro Is no relief save in nn independ
ent ticket , nnd often that Independent ticket
is gotten up by n worse set of political shy
sters than tlio other was. Follow farmers , I
have no patience with a nan that falls to do
his duty and then sets bneTt , sad nnd sour ,
deploring the situation that ho has
contributed to 'so largely. Well , says
tlio farmer or business ninn , wo do
tiot want olllce , grant It ? 'but ' that does not
excuse you from not taking a few hours once
or twloo in each year to see that a competent
man shall take charge of the financial affairs
of the country. My brethren , to whatever
party you may belong , unless you tnko some
Interest in its imimigoinoiit , unscrupulous
lenders will run It to ruin , nnd the country to
destruction , I think I speak the facts when
I say the farmers as a class are averse to tak
ing an active part In politics. As long as the
laws of the country nro Just nnd fair to him ,
the political arena has no charms to him. Ho
prefers to ba ono of n great mass of contented
citizens and to have n proper regard for nil
the Interests that way be Involved along
with bis own. "

Seattle & Montana railroad , part of the Great
Northern system , was at the Auditorium
oduy.
. The feature of western railroading
.oduy , " said ho , "is the rapid track laying
accomplished by the Great Northern road.
One hundred and sixty miles of track have
been laid west pf fort Asshmbolno
and graders have been nt work
all the fall in the Flathead
Lake country and up to within
a few miles of Spokane. The Great North
ern 1ms In contcmplutlon a moro complete
coast system than has yet been established.
Already there is connection between New
Westminster , on the Canadian Pacific , and
Seattle , and an agreement has Just been
reached between the Union Pacific and the
Great Northern by which the former has
ceased active work on u branch from
Seattle to Portland , Ore. , and the proposition
now is for u separata company , owned equally
by the Great Northern nnd the Union Pacific
to build and operate the line together. This
line will cross the Columbia at Vancouver ,
where a steel bridge , to cost ? 1SO,000 , has
already been begun. The Great Northern
will , I think , follow the line of the Seattle ,
Lake Shore & Eastern from Spokane to the
coast , crossing the Columbia river near the
mouth of the Monoteaeo river. "

CATSKU.L , N. Y , , Jan. 25. llov. Henry
W. ( Jcorgc , who wns In Jail hero charged
with causing the disgrace nnd death of Lottie
Townicnd , yesterday decided to lay his case
before the public. It Is the first statement
regarding the crlmo made for publica
tion nnd It Is supplemented by n
remarkable story from the lips oi the clergy
man of i > demon which ho says has pursued
him from infancy , Mr. George admits his
guilt. Mr. George asserted , however , that
the only scandal which had previously boon
connected with hU iiatno was hU mania for
taking other people's property.
"From my earliest boyhood , " ho said ,
" 1 have seemed to bo under n , spell have
had an almost constant doslro to take
intl
things , It has been so from birth ; Indeed ,
tltl tun told that my mother exhibited for a
time this same propensity would take things
tlti conceal them. When at school I would
take pencils nnd erasers from my fellows. I
did not need them , but the desire could not
bo resisted , 1 Joined the church. Uut there
wns no cessation , my demon was over pres
ent. It followed mo through school nnd in
ck cfi cn course nt Colby university. It was
known to the students ami to the
faculty , and was treated ns a
itlscaso rather than as a fault
for which 1 was responsible. From the
university I wont to Uoston to clerk in the
boon store of Noyes , Lock wood & Co. I took
their pro | > erty , unknown to the firm. After
leaving Boston I went to Oberlin university ,
Ohio. The students and faculty early
learned of my fijlllng , and I was called Into
private council nnd prayed with. Graduat
ing In Ih78 1 went to Huntley , 111. , with no
cessation of this malign Influence , hut 1 ntn
not aware that restitution had not been
made for everything taken by mo whllo at
this nlaeo. From Huntley I went to Creston ,
111. It wns the same thing there. Near
Creston I mot and married my wife , nnd
from there wo w'Jnt to Geneva , 111. It was
the same thcro ns everywhere clso. I took
things often of no value and not because I
needed them , but because I was powerless
to resist tlio temptation. They afforded mo
no pleasure ; on the contrary , I hated them
us ) reminders of my torrlblb tliMldom.
From Geneva I went to the First Presby
terian church of Topcka , Kan. , I remained
there about llvo years. It was the same
dreadful story , nnjl , being overworked , my
terrible propensity was quickened until It
finally got so that J would walk up and take
things with scarce un attempt nt conceal-
me-it. It came to tlio knowledge ) of the
session and I was asked to resign. 1 want ,
to say that I never have been nrrosted and
never have been formally charged with
theft. Whllo at Tcpcka 1 found out what
really was the matter. An export In the
Insane asylum examined mo and pro
nounced my case kleptomania. He said that
I was irresponsible and should have rest and
tie put in charge of some ono. Learning of
Kev. A. I ) . Simpson , nt New York , I was
Induced to go there. 1 tried the faith cure-
all the whllo expecting , but never beiug re
lieved of mv terrible disease.

An Old Alan Itrutully Murdered nt
the Insti-atlou of IIuViCo ,
HunniiiLiiMnss. . , Jnn.25. The murder
of old Farmer Heia was a most brutal one ,
and 1 the clrcumstancoi connected with the
crime make it ono of tbo most rcuurknblo
cases known in this state. Throe persons
have been arrostoit , and ono of them is
the aged wife of the victim. There
little doubt that Roljl's ' gray-haired spouse ,
who has turned the fifty-sixth millstone in
life , consented to the murder of her husband ,
in order that her infatuation for the farm
hand , Daniel Murphy , who is also fifty ,
might bo satisfied , A sensational story of
the crime was told today by Frank Woods ,
who witnessed old Hold's tragic death.
After his arrest ho told the following strange.
tale ; TUurphy , who Is an ox-convict
and a bad man generally , with a sus
picion ot another murder hanging over hit
head , invited Woods to take a ride , nnd , pro
curing a team driven by ono Matt Bnrry ,
they proceeded direct to Salem , ' N. II. . and
did not stop until ho reached Hold's houso.
They weie not Intoxicated and hail not been
drinking much , On reaching thu Held house
the door was opened by the wife , who kissed
Murphy and invited the men to
outer. Mr. Held was in the room. "My
lirst knowledge of his motive , " said Woods. ,
"wus In witnessing tbo uasault. Ho knocked
the old mnn down and Jumped on him , I
cried out , 'Don't do that ; you'll kill him rte
to which Murptiy replied : 'That is jusl
what 1 want to do , ' and finished by
clubbing him to death. Mrs. Held was
nn eye-witness a portion of the time. She
betrayed 'no emotion , nnd seemed only
anxious to got the bouy out of the way. She
spoke In endearing terms to Murphy , nnd
urged mo to help him to the end. Murphy
therewith told her ho must have money , and
without hesitating she procured § 10 and gav
to him. This done wo took tbo dead man
off the lloor and carried him out o"
dbors to the burn , and then roturnci
to tlio house. Murphy was inuch ox
cited. Ho bade the woman a kindly fnrowol
mm then wo started back on our long wall
to town , " Murpny hnd been employed ns
form hand for several months , and the favor :
which ho received from Mrs. Hold were s
open as to bcqgtno town talk. Murphy lef
last summer ana had not been seen until th
night of the murder. Ho refuses to tal
about the crimo.

Two Criminals Itrought to Justloe Inn
Ilcnrtrkable Manner.
CIXOIXXXTI , O. , Jan. 2. . [ SpecialTelegram
to Tim BEI : . ] The Enquirer today prints a
dispatch from Its Now York surgical sensa
tion artist , which contributes a curious con
tribution to the science of antenatal material
impressions. Three years ago the summer
residence of Charles Wagner , a well known
Now York tea broker , near Tarrytown , on
thoHirtlson , was entered by burglars. Mr.
Wagner was away from homo at the time.
Mrs. Wagner awoke nnd , discovering burg
lars in the room , screamed , whereupon ono of
them threw her down and choked her to in
sensibility. Some months afterward her first
child was born. There was a largo murk on
tlio right side of its face and neck of trio
color of port wine. A * physician wns
consulted , who advised waiting until the
child reached the ago of three or four
years before attempting to remove it. A few
weeks ago the cidld wns placed In Prof.
Cuvler's private hospital , whore n solution :
was applied which caused the entire red
patch to raise in ono huge blister. Prof ,
Cuvler lost his bruath whon.ho took n cloao
look ut the surface of the bllstor. The ten
sion on the skin had enlarged and contracted
the lines nnd spots in different planes , ana
thu result was a picture almost as clear as a
photograph of the scene in Mrs. Wagner's
room on the night of the burglury. The faces
"of two of the men were very good. Prof ,
Cuvier had heard of the robbery nnd tele
phoned to a dotvctlvo bureau. Detective
Mike Growloy , who knows all the tbioves in
the calendar , responded.
With the aid of a strong magnifying glass
the picture was enlarged , anitUrowloy Identl-
lied two of the faces after a close study. The
Dodlos of two other men could bo nicked out ,
but the foow could not bo cloarlv deciphered
amid tha red linos. Crowley had worked on
the case for two months at tbo timu of the
robbery without getting a fair start and ho
went to work whore ho hud.loft off. The
trail became hot In a few days and CiVwloy
landed "Big Rod" Ciisey and "Jim" Uogget
without muoh trouble. Their heads and
faces were In the picture on the child's face.

An Old Hprinlt
IvAXiHS CITY , Mo. , Jan. 'J.V The dead and
badly decomposed body of William llorne-
inann , an old man who for llftecn years bad
lived tlio llfo of n hermit on u llttlo farm
two miles vest of Argentine , Knn. , was
found stretched across the bed in Ids cabin
yesterday afternoon. All tbo circum
stances point to murder. The room in which
the body was found gives evidence of having
been the scene of it desperate struggle , Tlio
bed clothing on which the body rested was
disarranged , and largo pools of blooil were I
scattered over the siicots , The furnitura in !
the llttlo room wns In astntuot disorder , and '
the door leading out was unlocked nnd stand
ing partially open. The old man's ' coat wns
found lying on the lloor , whllo Ids woolen
sldrt was almost torn from his body.
A thorough examination of the hodv by
Coroner Hussoll Hill this afternoon loft no
doubt that the old hermit had been murdered ,
On the left side of tbo head was a deep
wound , inlllctcd by some sharp Instrument.
The skull wns fractured and tbo sculp torn
almost to the forehead. On the floor was a
hatchet , the edge of which was discolored ,
presumably by blood Near it were a monkey-
wrench and a rolling pin. Ucsldo the bed
was a bucket half full of bloody water. In
it were two red bandana handicerchlofs ,
On a table near the bed were loaves of
bread , stale nnd gnawed by rats. A number
of dead pigeons were lylnir on the lloor , nnd
In a cage which Irmg on the wall weio two
dead ( mails. In another engo wcro alive and
a dead red bird.
.fudging from the condition of the body tbo
coroner thinks the man must huvo boon dead
a week. lu that ofllcial's opinion lloriiemaim
was killed while sitting on the side of the bed
putting On or taltlucr off his shoes. IJoth wcro
on nnd laced , but one of the legs of the
trousers was rolled up. The body had on
only a shirt and trousers. Near the stpvo
was a pile of kindling wood , so that the niurI
dor was committed either nt bed time or before -
fore breakfast. I
Hornoiiianii was supposed to bo worth
about WOKl ( ) ) , nil of which rumor said ho kept
in tlio houso. What lends color to tlio theory
tlmt the murder was for the purpose of rob- i
beryls tlio factttiat shucks from the mat
tress on the bed were strewn about the floor *
and that the pillow had boon
ripped open. It is not- probable *
that the murderer or murderers secured any
thing. Kx-Assistnnt County Attorney A. L.
Berger said this evening that some months
ago Horneniann had told him that ho wns
afraid the stories that ho kept his wealth lu
tbo house would Indnco some ono to murder
him. Ho said that ho hud deposited bis
money in a bank in Kansas City , the name of
which Mr. Berger had forgotten. An in
quest will bo hold Monday.

assailant closely followed , continuing to tire
until all the chambers of bis revolver bad
bad been emptied. Ono shot took effect In
Peacock's chin , indicting a painful but not a
dangerous wound. Kvery stiot 11 red was a
close call , I'lio negro then turned and
retreated with the greatest pos-
siblo'speod to tbo timber near the burn. Hero
ho had in waiting ono of Peacock's horses ,
which ho mounted nnd dashed away. Tlio
liorso was found in this city this morning ,
The str.inger had previously KOIIO through
