Attorney Cionornl Stone rendered ix deci
sion yesterday in reply to n ejnestlon put to
him a few days ago by John H. Carter of the
Sioux City Inw nnd order league , with refer
ence ) to thu collection of lines by the city gov
ernment from keeipors of saloons , or "dis
orderly houses , ' ' Attorney Carter stated
that , In his op.u'on . , If the collection of such
n line is legul ut all , the money recolvod front
such collection does not belong to the munici
pal government , but should ho turned over to
the school fund along with nil other monov
received from violators of the state laws.
Ho asKed the opinion of the attorney
general on the point nnd Intimated
that ho would bo glnel to have bis assistance
In having the city authorities eotnpollcd to
, k'H-count to the city. In hl.i opinion the at-
toVnoy general states thnt 1m believes that
( liicstlon Is ono which hhcuild bo decided by
the county supe'rvlsors of Woodburv countv ,
nnd that thei board should attend to It , us Ills
clear that the proceeds of the.so lines should
go to the M-hool f uuiis of the various countlus.

dressed the audience on "Tho Farmers' Al
linncu Movement. " The weather was bud
cotibcqucntly the nuilleiico was small , bu

tlou of the subject. Mr. Donnelly's headlni

although thcro may bo some doubt ns to hi :
being u typical farmer , there can be no doub
as to his ability to interest an audience , ovut
In the midst of a ruin storm.
In the afternoon the IJncon-Shnkospenre
diibnto wtis resumed , und that was when th (
crowds commuuccd to arrive. The debate
was on somewhat the same lines as wcro laii
down In yesterday's Unn , nnd both sides ol
the subject were very nbly handled. At tin
end it was declared a draw battle , as Don
nelly and Freeman scomod to be the only
ones on the grounds who had any very decided
cided convictions on the subject.
Lastoveuing the attraction was a lecture
by A. I1. Hopkins , president of the First Nil'
tlonal bank of Omaha , on the "Sliver Ques
lion. " Ho Is an intorostlng speaker , ami
showed that ho had studied his subject very
carefully.
As to whetber the assembly season bas
been n success , public sentiment is divided ,
Tbe weather has been unfavorable , but thai
is not nil. Much complaint lias bcen.lndulgei
hi on account nf the small number of real at
tractions tbat Imvo been provided by tin
management. There is no doubt that the
blame of this is to bo laid nl
the door of Dr. Olllott , whc
was allowed to use his own discretion in the
arrangement of the program , nnd when he
had donn so found another clinnco to air his
graces , In Cilon Erbo. The assembly has losl
money , but it has gained experience , autl
will put it into practice next season.
The scheme for tbu building of n motoi

now regarded as settled that before nexl

Ten thousand dollars of the required $ jri,00 (
has already boon secured , and no trouble
is anticipated in the raising of the
remainder. The route to bo followed will b <
out the Canning road , as that is about a mile
and a half shorter than any other. It is nls <
hinted that ono reason for the adoption o :
this course is in order to shut out other com
panics who might wish to run a competing
line. It is protiablo ttiat not only will a line
bo built from the Chnutaueiua to the limits

The ordinance xvhlch was passed by thi
city council last Monday night relating te
disturbances of the peace in ccrtMn places
was n very innocent looking affair on its
face , but it now transpires that its signifl
canco Is greater than was at first supposed
Jt was the result of a conviction on the pail
of the city authorities that the "fine" systeir
of dealing with saloonkeepers had about rut :
its race in Council Bluffs , as so many loop
holes Imvo been discovered through which
these who elon't care to pay can crawl , that
It has kept everybody on the ragged oeigo oi
uncertainty.
The now law is designed to cover the same
surface as the old , It will do away with the
legal objection that has been made to the
' lino" system on the ground that the city
had no right to levy n line on the keeping ol
a nulsiinro which , according to the statutes ,
rould only bo eiono away with by abatement ,
Bv making the offense of the salconkeenor n
more distui banco of the peace , it will ulso
leave no doubt as to the destination of the :
tine money , as between the citv treasury and
the school fund. The city authorities eio not
contemplate any further trouble over the ]
saloon question , and they are just now busy
congratulating themselves | on the fact that
they have au'ordiminco that will not bo open
to any of the objections of the old one.

Tin : Bnn.J The Western Normal college
which Is located here , is conducted on the plnr
of the Independent normal. This is com
mencctnent week , and the closo'of ono of the
most successful years In the history of the
collooo , nnd everybody from the president
down to the Humblest citizen is in the full

Suudnv evening the baccalaureate address
\vas delivered in the college chapel by Hov ,
L. B. Wickersham , pastor of the Methodist

nil of tno churches in honor of the occasion ,
and all that could get n seat attended the
exercises at the college. The city is full of
visitors , who are being entertained at the
college and by the cltuciis.
Commencement exeielscs began yesterday
and continue until Thursday. The very
largo number of graduates makes the exer
cises interesting and quite lengthy. Know
ing that street talk as a rule Is unreliable , I
concluded to go to headquarters for informa
tion. I found the superintendent , Mr.
Croan.in his oflle'o surrounded by a. score or
moro of sudents waiting their turn to speak
to the superintendent on individual matters.
Securing a sent I concluded that 1 might
learn something by waiting and watching.
In a very short time thu students were dis
posed of , and the man behind the counter
looking ut mo inquiringly. Just then a fresh
invoice of students appeared on the scene , in
advance of horn I took my place at the
counter , as the next ono in line. Introducing
myself I said : "I nm hero temporarily and
would like to get a few points in reference to
your school. "
Mr. Croan said ho would gladly accommo
date me. but would have to bo brief , "for you
see how it is. " I said , "Mr. Croan , you ought
to huvo some help to do this work. "
'Yes , " said he , "that would bo bettor for
mo , but not so good for the school. Von see
this work brings mo in almost dally contact
with every student , thereby giving mo per
sonal knowledge of their dispositions , their
conduct , intentions and capabilities , which
Is very essential to the success of the school. "
To my suggestion that ho would break
down soon , ho said , "I know that the work is
very hard , but I am young nnd vigorous ; besides -
sides it is congenial to my taslo and is in the
line of my ambition. "
"Your graduating exercises seem to be
quite lengthy this year. "
"Yos , wo have a largo number of gradu-
'ates , and wo want to give them till there is in
it. This has been n very busy year , which
you will admit when I'tell you that our rec
ords show 53lr radaatos in all the different
grades. "
"What is the outlook for next year1' ?
"Wo otp3ut n larger attendance next year
than wo have had this. "
"But can you accommodate thorn ( "
"O yes. 1 hive now buildings under con
tract now which I expect to e-ompleto dur
ing vacation , and am prepared to build more
If needed. Please excuse tno now ; these
people are waiting on mo. Call airnln. "
Taking a stroll over the city I found a
great number of new buildings , many of
them quite elegant , just completed or in pro
cess of construction. It fact I met with
evidences of general prosperity tnnt Is far
ahead of any other towns that I have visited.

"Shotting .loo" Rinsom of Kansas City
did not arrive in tlmo last night to preach at
the colored camp meeting , which is just now
in full bloom at Syndicate pint. The ) great
Kansas Citj orator and African oracle is ex
pected to 1111 the pulpit ; and the woods with
religious eloquence tonight.
But tno meeting wont on just the samo.
Kev. Louis Parks of Nobrnslcn City ex
pounded the gospel last night in the regular
old fashioned , Methodist , camp mooting stylo.
There must have been at least four hundred
people in attendance nt the enmp nnd fully
three-fourths of them white peopk1.
After several revival hymns had been sung
Rev. Parks began to exhort the people to
quit their bins and lleo'from the wrath to
como.
'Wo want the old kino of religun , " said
Brother Parks. "Thoy ain't no new kino
that 'mounts to anythluir. What you wantis
to trust in the Lord an' git vour feet on the
KOCK of Ages. We are following a Captain
that is bouu' to win , " continued the speaker
in n very high tone of voice and with all the
force that his vocal organs nnd
ungs seemed capable of sustaining.
"Git your hearts fixed right and then ro
ahead. Git on the gospel train , bretheru.
Christ is the conductah. Ho is comin' roun'
to take up the tickets pretty soon. Git your
tickets now. Git them from the Holy Ghost
nnd from Jesus Christ , nnd when ho comes
nrouri' nnd says 'tickets If you please' you
will bo all right for n through trip. "
"Amen 1 Hallelujah 1" shouted half a dozen
of the brothorn and sisters.
"I can see the ole river Jerdon , " continued
the speaker as ho danced across the platform
and looked up at the benutiiul , full moon just
pooping over the tree tops nnd lookinir peace
fully down upon the camp. "I can see the
river Jerelen rollin' and humpln1 itself be
tween us on' the golden gates. I can almost
seen them little cherlbe"ins n-smilin' over the
gates. Are you ready to cross the
stream } Are yoji sure your
sins nro washed away ? Git the good , old
solid semi washin religion and ire along with
us to the better laild. "
At the end of every sentence the spo.iko r's
words were indorseiel by the brethren shouting
"Amen " " " "oh . " "hullo-
ing , "yos , sir. yes. , -
Injati" nnd other ejaculations of npprovnl.
When the speaker closed the audience
sang "Git on Boa'd , Llltlo Chillun , There's
Uootn for Mnny-a-morc , " and then n collec
tion was taken. Tno prayer nnd prulso moot
ing lasted half an hour and then the benedic
tion was pronounced.
The ice creunj stnnel near the camp drew a
crowd of customers after the services.
Everything uhout the camp nppearod to bo
very respectable and orderly , The colored
brethren of Omaha nnd South Oinalia are
hoping und praying for n great spiritual
awakening ut this protracted effort in the
woods.
