NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS , Celebration of the Annlremry of Modern Spiritualism Inanspiciously Begun , MISS EMMA J , NICKERSON'S ELOQUENCE , Her Wonderful AVonl 1'nlntlng DC- HK'HS Hisr llenrira Easter Scrv- Icesnt the Churches Other City Matters. In response to a ROOC ! deal of advertising nnuounclnjt the celebration of. the forty-third annlvorsnry of modern spiritualism , a rather small audience mot yesterday afternoon in Grand Army hall and listened to an address by Miss Emma J. Nlckcrson of Chicago. It was the opening of a series of meetings to bo neld each afternoon and evening beginning yesterday and concluding tomorrow evening. The afternoon was very disagreeable , which , no doubt , accounted for the meager attend ance. ance.Miss Nickerson wiw introduced nnd maao a few prefatory remarks concerning modern spiritualism nnd the anniversary they were celebrating. She is a young lady of very proposso lnK appearance , strong vitality nnd a stngo manner and presence that at once sets her nudlcnco at case nnd commands attention. As a speaker s&o takes high rank nnd impresses ono with the fact that she Is thorougly In earnest in her work and sincere In her be liefs. Her manner of speaking recalls Anna Dickinson's vigor In her early nnd enthusi astic days. Her subject was the "Prose nnd Poetry of Life-1 and for three-quarters of an hour she poured forth a Hood of poetic prose that seemed to come from her throat as nat urally as music comes from the breast nf a bird on a bright sunny morning. Whether tbo Inspiration came from any other source than n powerful and well balanced intellect and u Ihorottch familiarity with all the beau ties of the English lanuungo , It may not be worth discussing. Her thoughts were beau tiful and clotticd hi beautiful language , and the sentiments taught , so far as apparent on the surface were as pure as the impressions pained from looking at a beautiful picture or listening to sweet music. A much larger audience assembled In the evening , and after the usual preliminaries Miss Nickerson delivered another sparkling array of linguistic beauties that caught the attention of the dullest curiosity seeker nnd held it for nearly an nour. The subject was "Mother , Homo and Heaven.1 Every sentence - tenco was a sparkling gem of thought , nnd frequently speaking with half-closed eyes she wrought'marvels of word-painting that equalled Bob Ingcrsoll's ' best. At the conclusion of her address she called for questions from the audience , and several very pertinent ones wcro asked , the lady as suring , the questioners that she was not an swering but was merely the medium for tbo Intelligences In the spirit world One gen tleman asked if spirits \vero cognizant ol dissolution , and an answer in tuo negative was given. There were many spiritualists present und the questions were propounded exclusively by them. Tney per tained to the beliefs and aims of the believ ers. There will bo another meeting this after noon nt2 : ; > 0 in the satao hall and this evenIng - Ing at 7:00 : the anniversary address will bo delivered. The interest that Miss Nickerson has awakened will no doubt bo sufficient to nt- tract n largo attendance during the remain der of the meetings. A flue programme will bo given nt the St. Bernard's hospital bazaar this evening. Ad mission 25 cents. Easter Ex-rclses. The weather yesterday was not that which is usually considered suitable for Easter Sunday , but In spltg of the gloom end rain a large number gathered at the various churches to witness the special exorcises that wcro to take place in most of them in honor of the day. In most of the churches elaborate preparations had been made In the way of decorations , and tbo prolusion of flowers Inside wont a long way toward mak ing up for the unpleasantness out of doors. At St. Paul's an elaborate musical pro gramme bad been ptcparcd by the surplicod choir under tha leadership of the accom- phsned organist and director , Mr. Bert Sims , and the singing added much to the enjoyment of the occasion. The music in the morning consisted of "Morning Service In P , " by J. B. Dykes , nnd "Tho Lord is My Strength , " by Henry Smart , At the Presbyterian church a sermon on the subject of the resurrection was preached DV Dr. Phelps. A song was sung by Mrs. W "W. Sherman , entitled "Emmaus. " the words to which were composed by Rev. G. W. Crofts. A duet wus rendered by the Misses Mlnnlo Merkel and Lu Porterfleld , entitled "Our Saviour , " by C. A. White. The decorations were very fine. At the close of the services an appeal was made by tbo pastor In favor of the Woman's Christian as sociation hospital. Hn gave a brief outline of the work that the ladles are doing , most of which is done without any assistance from the general public in n financial way. Ho stated that there was a largo debt against the association on the building , and that U was necessary that the funds ho raised at once to pay the interest on tbo aoot and help on with the Improvements. After the appeal had been made to the audience a generous collec tion was taken for the benefit of tbo assocla tion. tion.The The regular services wcro held in the Con gregational chiirch in the morning , but the evening was given up to the children of the Sunday school , und an Easter concert was given. Miss Grace Balch of Omaha and Miss Mary E. Oliver and Mr. William Murphy of Council Bluffs assisted in tbo pro gramme , the larger part of which was fur nished oy the children and teacher. * . At tho'First Baptist church a similar pro gramme was followed , a concert being given Intbo evening. At the Masonic Temolo the regular Easter services wcro held in the morning hy the Broadway Methodist church , and in the evening Rev. Stewart , the pastor , preached to the mercantile men.

The trouble arose from what is technically known ns a "short cir cuit , " which was iormcd from two wires becoming - coming crossed. The result was that several fuses were burned out nt the power bouse. The dynamo which was connected \vith the troublesome wire bad to bo turned oS , and a pang of men was sent out to look all over the line and find out where thi trouble lay. It was finally found on South Sixth street , where the wind had blown down ono of the wires and it had been crossed with another , thus forming the short circuit. The trouble was repaired with but llttlo difficulty and the lights were turned on at about.7 . o'clock. While the dyuumo was turned off about a quarter of all the incandescent llchts wcro rendered useless. Our spring stock is now complete.

KATE OP A FAKIR. ( low Montnnn Justice Orortook n Jllppodroiiia Fishier. South Omaha iropressarios of pugilism maybe bo Interested in this story from the Ana conda ( Mont. ) Standard. It tells how a man who fought with his mouth only fell into trouble out there ! Judge Fitzgerald yesterday rendered a de cision In tbo rasa against Billy Butts , the prize fighter. The Judge held that the evi dence In the case was sufficient to lead him to bcllevo that Butts had been a party to a prize fight and bo held the man over to op- pear before tbo grand Jury. Butts was ac cordingly bound over , his bond. * being fixed at $100. This Butts was unable to secure and bo was placed In jail and will be taken to Deer Lodge if his friends do not bail htm. ou t todav. The original charge agnlnst Butts was that of faking , la other words , because ho failed to fight and give the public a bloodthirsty exhibition in several rounds of tiara hitting nnd gamcncss. Because ho failed to satisfy n largo number of spectators who had expended n largo sil ver dollar to satisfy brute curiosity , ho was run in. At the time It was the opin ion of the oniuers und many others that J. B. Stradcr. the other principal to tbo fight , had displayed a desire to fight to a finish , and ho was not molested. The following day the officers who made the nrreit became con vinced that thu charge of fnklug would not stick , and a cliurpo of violating the law ngalnst prize fighting was preferred against Butts. A warrant was then Issued against Stra- der. but ho bad doubtless taken a tumolo nnd made a quiet disappearance. Too late the officers found that Strader had made bis escape. Whether very dillgcut search was made for Strndcr is not known , at any rnto ho was seen that day at Gregson Springs , but where ho is now in hiding It Is a dldlcult matter to state. The trial of Butts occupied several hours and the testimony was of a peculiar character. Some of the witnesses testified that the fight was a grand fake , others said it was a glove contest with regu lation gloves , but admitted that Butts had faked the affair. A few others w ere of the opinion that It was u real prize fight , although on cross-examination they wore of the opinion that they had been swindled out of $1 , as they had been present under the belief that they were to bo favored with a long , exciting and bloody fight. "Tho decision of Judpo Fitzgerald yester day virtually settles the case , and unless Butts'friends can dig up $100 with which to bail him and allow him to make his escape ho is fated to languish in the county Jail until his case comes before the graad ) urv , when his case will bo finally settled. Had Butts' friends been a trifle more generous they would have secured fi" > . his original bondf bailed him nnd if he had made himself scarce It Is doubtful if ho would bo looked for very far. " W.

An ingenious device for measuring ; distances , and which will bo likely to interest - terost architects nnd builders , is an in vention of an English firm. It consists of a small revolving wheel which operates a spindle , the revolutions being accurately registered by a dial counter. By running tno distance wheel along a wall or other surface .tho recorder will show how many feet have boon measured. There is practically no limit to the dis tance that may bo determined by this llttlo device. VIny limy Io It.

When life is entirely extinct the phe nomenon of scarlet space between the fingers nt once ceases. The most exten sive and thorough trials established the truth of this observation. Terrible Highbinders. "Highbinders and Their Methods , " was the subject of an interesting paper read by P. T. Masters at a recent meet ing of the Methodist preachers in San Francisco. The gentleman is super intendent of the Methodist Chinese mis sion in that city , speaks the Chinese lan guage fluently nnd from , years of associa tion nnd observation among the race is thoroughly conversant with its habits of life. The paper discussed the origin , spirit and methods of the highbinder enplnt.v nnfl thn trtrrihlo * Rfirotnnnins nf initiation , to its councils. It was bused largely upon a ritual , found by § er eant Price in the recent raid , of the police in Chinatown. The story of the origin of the society reads ' . o a myth. Some time in the dim pafcrtt was organized in a Chinese monastery. About ono hun dred and twenty-eight monks , living in seclusion in obedience to the demands of their religion , banded themselves to gether as warriors in support of the emperor of China. They dm him good service and ho offered thorn commen surate reward which their vows of poverty would not allow them to accept. They retired to their accustomed retreat only to fall victims to an attack of the Tartars , in whom a constant dread of their prowess had been engendered. All but five , who were miraculously saved by angelic power , were put to death. 'Those men in a spirit of revenge founded the great secret societies whose members number many thousands. The ceremonies of Initiation are of the most frightful character , intending to inspire a fear and respact for the power of the organization. The novitiate is com pelled to take the severest of oaths to obey commands given , nnd to do the work assigned under pain of torture of death. Ho unbraids his cue , which for 250 years has been the badge of loyalty to the present dynasty , and stands ready to rotiounco allegiance to God and to man , to all but the hocioty In whoso fortunes ho has linked his own. The designs of the organization are always concealed. Its commands are given in words of hidden meaning , which time nnd time have been heard In Chinatown. It has in its pay a regular hired soldiery paid to do mur der. A member of the organization recently captured hud on his person his commission. At is now in the possession of Chief Crowley. These soldiers are paid $10 a month if they are caught and put in prison. If they uro wounded a physician is paid to attend them and $100 is sent to their relatives in China. If they are maimed for life they are sent home and given 8250. The purpose of the society is to import infamous women to San Francisco und to revenge porsonul wrong for pay. Mr. Masters suggests two ways to dlstroy the ovil.Vhito police who cannot speak Chinese are greatly handicapped and practically without sufficient means to root out the powerful society. A force of Chinese regularly qualiped t6 act ns oillcors should bo oquipted antj pjacod in China town. If method is with&ut avail then revolutionary measures , are alone loft and bhould be adopted , , Fostoflioa as a Hunk. A. T. Cowglll has a ovol way of keep ing money safe.

All of the bosses , about a dozen in number , were armed with Winchesters and revolvers and a pack of bloodhounds was kept chained close by. Ho was told that there were no Bohemians in the cnirip , hut ho had all the men marshaled before him nnd picked out thirteen men who , upon his promise of protection , acknowledged thiuthey were Bohemians. Ho then started back to Pocahontus with the rescued men. Ton of the men secured employment , while the other three and the women cauio on to New York with him. The men say thut they were compelled to work like slaves under the lash , wore watched night and day and cha'ed by bloodhounds if they attempted to escape.

She blotted two or three blanks , stuck out her tongue as eho started in on the date nnd her men tal distress was so evident thut a gentle man who was waiting for the pen kindly observed : "Perhaps it is n very poor pen , ma'am npd if you will permit me , I will write the dispatch for you. " "O , thank you , slrbutr-but ; " "It won't bo the slightest trouble , ma'am. " "I know , hut this is to ray husband , you see , and he's a very peculiar man. He gal cheated out of $600 once by a patent right man and now he's sus picious of everybody and has got to bo tulked to just so. There that will cover the case , I guess. He'll know this is from me. " And she showed him a telegram to bo delivered in n town this side of Albany , which road. "If you don't send me $10 to Harriot's ' 11 burn the barn the day I get Homo ! " AH the Credit Coloured to the Corpse. It was in the cars , whore , sooner , dilator later , ho who listens can hear every thing , from declarations of passion to the quarrels of hate , the weightiest affairs of the nation to the lightest gos sip of the frivolous , says the Boston Courier. Two women were chatting together of a funeral which they had been out of town to attend. "Yes , " ono of them remarked , "I don't know when I've seen such a sweet funeral. " "No , " the other ono responded , ' 'nor ' "Didn't you think it was a beautiful selection from Scripturo'r" "Yes , beautiful.1' ' "And those two hymns ; weren't -they appropriate1 " there couldn't have been "Yes ; any thing more appropriata" "Well , the corpse cheese 'em all. " The New Metal. At $1 a pound aluminum is really not so hi nil as it looks , for the relation of a pound of aluminum to n pound of other metal is something like that of the fa mous pound of feathers to the pound of lead. Aluminum is almost three times as bulky as iron , weight for weight ; it is nearly seven times as bulky as silver , nnd more than four times ns bulky ns gold. Thus if silver were $1 an ounce ; und aluminum $1 a pound , silver would be really fifty times more costly , bulk for bulk ; aluminum at $1 a pound would only be twice as costly as copper nt 15 cents a pound. . A Hrldo'H Tea Ilinj. Ono fair bride who belongs to the' swollest sot in McAllister's 400 of Now York had for a wedding present from some enterprising friend a too ring. It was "severely plain , " being simply a gold band studded with brilliants , it is said by Mmo. Rumor that her bride groom , who , by the way , is near-sighted , thought his fair dame deformed. Upon her prettywell polished big too bho were the ring , and ho , man-like , did not see the beauty at first of marrying such pretty attributes as nature had bestowed upon her. A bad complexion is destructive to beauty , then why not ube Spanish Court Cream and become beautiful. Will no No Harm to Try It. "Nature has her for own remedy diph theria , " Bays a Chicago man.

Ono of my chil dren was down with diphtheria and the question of deiith was simply the problem for a few hours to determine. An old colored man , Ui whom my wife had shown some kindnesses , called nt the house , and saying ho had heard of my little one's illuess. urged ine to try pineapple juice. The old fellow de clared that In Louisiana , where he came from , ho had seen it tried n million times , and that in each case it had proved effective. So I secured a pine apple nnd squeezed out the juice. After a while wo got some of it down the boy'u throat , and in a short time ho was cured. The pineapple should bo thor oughly ripe. The juice is of so corosivo a nature that it will cut out tno diphthe ritic mucus. I tell you it is a sure euro. JPehrlnjj Sea Controversy. The statement by ox-Minister Phelps , which will appear in the April number of Harper's Magazine ( to bo published March 21) ) . of the controversy between the United States and Great Britain is clear , full and conclusive. After show ing the extent of the destruction of bcal .ifo in the open sea surrounding the Pribyloff islands through the Canadian intrusions , so great thut during the past four years tour-fifths of thorovenuo from an important American industry has disappeared. Mr. Phclps expo es the wanton nnd wasteful character of this destruction , as contrary to the ordinary dictates of humanity ns it is to the re quirements of self-interest. Ho shows that the convention proposed during President Cleveland's administration for the protection of seals during their breeding period was thwarted by the ob jection of Canada , whoso citizens were obtaining a certain profit from their dep redations , wasteful as these were. "The question now presented , is" , saya Mr. Pholps. "whether the United States gov ernment uus a rljrht to protect its prop erty and the business of its people from this wanton and 'barbarous destruction by foreigners , which it bus made crim inal hi * act pf congress ; or whether the fuot that it takes place upon waters that are claimed to bo apart of the open sea affords an immunity to the parties engaged - gaged in it which -the government is bound to respect "Our controversy , " says Mr. Phelps , "is really with .Canada , though in our complaint we must address Gceat Britain , who thus stands between us and Canada , not as an umpire , but bound to support the claims of her colony BO far ns she can. " Hence the policy of evasion pur- bv hnr maiestv'fi ministers. Mr. Phelps does not favor arbitration , which in the present case "is more attractive in theory than valuublo in practice. " Mr. Phelps' generous support of Mr. Blnine , and his plea for tin instant pro tection of seal and of the seal industry by putting nn end to the depredations of individual foreigners , will commend his paper to the good sense- and patriotism of every American. AVhcre They Fou ml Hie Lost "King Charles , " a Boston woman's pet , ran nway a few weeks ago , but pro fuse advertising and offers of reward brought him homo again , says the Trav eler. eler."Where "Where did you nnd him ?
