the regular rate per hour , instead of allow
ing an hour's over time to constitute an extra
day , as has been the case in former years
McKesson amended so as to require the
house to audit all hills.
The independents were unwilling to have
the expense entailed by their appointments
JliUB paraded , and the resolution died igno-
mlniously.
Jensen introduced a resolution requesting
the clerk to furnish each member with a list
of all employes.
An attempt to lay It on the table failed enroll
roll call , but the resolution was killed a mo
ment later on a count of noses.
The pay question was sprung again by
Deal with another resolution , which was fol
lowed by others , and another half hour was
consumed in fruitless dissension , after which
the whole matter was laid on the table.
On request of Casper , the appropriation
bill was read a second time und sent to the

of Dixon county praying for a reduction of

6wlng to the absence of certain resubmls-

If thu members arc all here the gront battle
will U'gin. The prohibitionists are feeling
1B
vt ry coulldcut today , and claim to have m.-ulu
considerable ininads on their opponents' !
ranks. Finding it Impossible to secure a
Majority for the repeal of the law , the re.sub-
inlsslonlsts last wi-ok changed tlmir tuotirs
nnd made the proposed amendment provide
local option by municipalities and townships. >
They believed this-would conciliate oin > s.o -
vltlon and gain them some rccrjiu. On the
rontrary , it was taken evidence of weak-
.ness , and prohibitionists weut to woik wlih
jvuawed vi 'or. Not only did * the resubml
Monl.sts not gain by Iho move , but tliny are
wild to have lost one or two voten. More
over , dome of their tndn begun to demand
local option by townships. Tills Is very ob
noxious to the ro.MibmUslonlsts generally ,
but thc'su men Insisted nnd considerable
friction resulted. In the committee meeting
tomorrow there will probably ho nn open
row. H is certain that when the subject
comes up lu the house there will be n sharp
wrangle over the question of town or county
control.
Now complications have nrlscn today. A
number of rabid prohibitionists wont to the
World's fair committee and declared that if
rcsUhmlsslon were forced through the house
they would kill the World's fair appropria
tion. It Is likely that this will bo used as a
club to force various measures nnd the fair
commission is dcs ) > ondcnt.
The railroad question Is the center of In
terest hero. The railroad committee of the

Four weeks have gone by and nothing 1ms

Mr. Hooper , and tomorrow ho will introduce

United Prosbytorlauism in Omaha Roaches
Over a Quarter of a Oontnry ,
OBSERVED THE ANNIVERSARY YESTERDAY
Mi-inborn ofllirSrct with PrlrniU flnthcr nt
the IT rut ( 'htirrh In Knitiitze 1'lnco
nnd Appropriately C'oininein. .
Thcro could be no event moro in harmony
with the naino of the organization creating
It , than was the celebration of the twenty-
fifth nnnlversaryof the organization of the
United Presbyterian church , which took
plnco last evening and afternoon ut the First
United Presbyterian phurch In Kountzo
It appeared to an observer that the words
f the Master might have been applied to
lie happy gathering , "Dy this shall all men
now that yo are my disciples , that ye love
no another. "
Twenty-live years ago In the struggling ,
.ngainly frontier town of' Omaha this
ir.inch of the Christian church gained its
rst foothold. A fccblo and apparently un-
ortnln foothold it appeared to bo at that
line , but the sturdy character of those who
elped to organize the little band , made it nn
biding power that weathered every storm
ml planted the foundations of future usedr
ulness deep nnd firm In the solid rock of
ges.
The celebration consisted of a double pro-
; ram , tl-o first for the various United Pros-
lytcrian churches of the city and their
mmcdiato friends in neighboring churches ,
nd the second for the public in general ,
'he banquet was spread at fi0 : ! ! and the
adles of the church proved to the sntisfac-
ion of all that they had made ample prcp.ira-
Ion to challenge nnd uppcaso the apetltcs of
ho most exacting. epicure. When the
uxurics of the festal board had been dis-
> . osed of Hov. J. M. French announced that
; ho "feast of reason and the How of soul
votild begin. "
Triumphs of the Scot.
Ho introduced Mrs. J. 10. Ncvln , who ro-
pondcd to the sentiment "Lot Her Own
Works Pralso Her. " Mrs. Novin spoke In
behalf of the Womcns' Mission and Aid
society. She said the society had been
eally "a mlsslon-ln-soclcty" and a mlssion-
iry society at the same timo. Karnest
Christian wont had been accomplished both
it homo nnd in foreign lands by the organ-
zation , and the future was full of hope for
ho continued usefulness of iho organisation.
Dr. WS. . Gibbs spoke upon the mission
and the progress of the Sunday school in response -
sponso to the sentiment "Tench Mo'Thy
Statutes. " HIsa remarks wore historic
n their nature , nnd in conclusion he
give briefly the vat-ion ? struggles through
which the Sunday school had been obliged to
lass. Ho paid a glowing tribute to the ven
erable Hov. Thomas MeCague , through whoso
self-sacrllicing efforts the church and ttio
Sunday school had been kept alive when all
other human assistance seemed to have been
withdrawn.
Dr. Gibbs thought that the church had
: nado ono mistake in not being moro aggres
sive , and ho advised the brethren to become
i little moro Mothodistlo In tills particular.
Next to the preaching of the gospel , the
speaker believed the Sunday school was the
greatest power for good in , connection with
the Christian church.
Miss Bessie J. Snyder. a teacher in the
High school , responded to the sentiment ,
'Young Men nnd Maidens. " Her address
was unique and elegant in the extreme.
I'urtoftho Young People.
"It is scarcely necessary for me to speak
Tor the young people , " said Miss Snyder ,
"for most of them can speak for Jhomsolvcs.
It is an easy matter to grow eloquent over
youth. It is the time of building promise.
Upon thu brow of youth linger the enchant
ments and the beauties of hope. Who would
dare to mark the boundary lines of an un
lived life1'
The speaker then referred to the radical
change that bad taken place within the past
twenty-live years , particularly as touching
the .attitude of young men and women.
Young people's organizations wcro of but
recent origin in the churches but they bad
done a vast amount of good.
"Our's is not a mutual admiration society , "
said the speaker , "neither Is it much of n
success ns a matrimonial mill , for during the
dozen years of Its existence there has been
but ono marriage actually within the mem
bership of the society and the organization
was not really to blame for that.1'
Miss Snyder predicted a future of great
usefulness for the young people's society and
her address was heartily applauded.
Mrs. J. M. French responded to the senti
ment , "A Little Child Snail Lead Thorn , " ns
a representative of the mission band. She
thought that If a child was to do the loading
there was need of early training or both the
loader and the led would fall Into the ditch.
She held that the Master wanted the chil
dren , nnd it was the duty 01 the church to
provide proper training for the lambs of the
Hock.
lprom HerFlrnt FrulU.
'iho First United Presbyterian church Isnot
old nor feeble by n long deal , but the organlza
tion is a grandmother , nevertheless , and
this fact was responsible for the appearance
on the program of a topic that produced u
lot of pleasantry nnd called out quite u
stream of wit and some very excellent
thoughts of n moro serious trend.
"Our Daughters as Corner Stones"was
the sentiment that called up the representa
tives of the grand children , the churches
that have sprung from the First. Hev. Frank
A. Henderson , pastor of the Park Avenue
church , the eldest daughter of tho. first
chinch , was the first to respond.
"Tho won ! daughter suggests mother , "
said Hov. Mr. Henderson , "andthero is noth
ing moro sacred in connection with
human life than motherhood. T have
been married to the eldest daughter of the
church for six years , " ho continued , "and I
want to report tonight upon the conduct of
thoichlld who went out from her homo six
years ago to * do for herself. She had be
haved very well. She left homo before I was
acquainted with her , but I understand that
she had a rather hard time in getting nway
frorn , homo. Her mother did not want her to
go. Hut young people do not always obey
their parents. The daughter has been doing
well. I think she reflects many of the good
qualities of her mother. " The similes wcro
very much enjoyed by the audience and were
received with frequent applause.
Dr. John Williamson , D.D. , pastor of the
Central United Presbyterian church , was the
other son-in-law who proudly confessed that
ho had boon filling the important place of
husband for the second daughter of the
First church.
'I married her at a very tender ago , " said
the reverend gentleman. "Tho second
daughter of this church was but about three
months old when I tirst made her acquaint.
unco. " Ho gave an excellent report of the
progress of the second daughter nnd his ad
dress was received with great favor.
He'ii Courting Only ,
Hov. J. F. Hess of South Omaha had the
distinguished honor of appearing as the prospective
pectivo husband of the only gruiidduughtei
of the mother church.
"I cannot say that I am married to n
grand daughter of this church , " said the
modest speaker , "but wo have been sitting
up nights together , and wo found it verj
pleasant. " This clover turn of the pro
gressive llguro was heartily enjoyed , for
most of those present knew that Hev. Mr
Hess has not jot been installed us the statci
pastor of the South Omaha church. Hois
still enjoying the courtship stage of the
work with prospects of approaching matri
mony. Hev. Mr. Hess made many happj
hits In his brief talk , and was heartily up-
plauded.
In Kountzu I'lace ,
Ono of the most enjoyable efforts of tin
evening was the address by Hov. W. K. Heani
of the 'JYlnlty Methodist cl.urch In behalf o
the neighboring churches. Ho spoke elo
quently of the sterling qualities of the Ini
inanuel liaptist , the Plymouth Congrega
tlonulist , the Knox Presbyterian , the Firs
Unlveraallst and the Trinity Methodist
which are located in the Immediate neleh
borhood of the First United Presbytcrlat
church ,
In speaking of the doctrines of the church
which took the part of the host Inst night Rev
Mr Deans said itil'JlwIsh to compliment you
upon the fact that you still slug the grand
old hymns wrltt'th" Iby the greatest liymn
vrltor of the universe. YOJ will never go
vrong In so doing How much moro appro-
u-Iuto It Is to Ifl'iiraOhrlstlnn singing In
low and solemn measure , 'The I/ord Is
ny shcphoril , I shall not want , ' thane
o hear a chorus of nervous voices
bricking out : ' 'OH , glorious hereafter ,
vhoso every bright rafter shall shako with
rippling laughter.pf winctlficd song. ' "
Iho heartiest aimlnuso of the evening fol-
owed this clover take off. The speaker
losed by wishing the. First United Presby-
erlnn church a prosperous future nnd n
rlorlous usheringfhofilts golden anniversary
71 the year 1018. , i
Some ( lunidriil Addremiec.
This brought tlid banquet procram to a
close and the audlcnco repaired to the main
luditorlum , whore a number of addresses
\ero delivered bearing upon the history and
irogross of the church.
After an anthem and prayer Rev. Thomas
MeCaguo gave a talk upon the origin and
early history of the church ; Mr. John
Cannon told of later history of the church ;
lov. ( D. U. Miller gave some entertaining
reminiscences , which wcro supplemented by
iov. James Duncan. D.D.

The "Gothenburg plan" for the regulation
of the sale of liquors , discussed by the Curj
rent < Topic club last evening , entrusts the
sale of the samw to a private corporation
under certain restrictions. There is no profit
in conducting the Ijslj ss , but Jn connection
with it there is a cjcstaprant , which may bo
made as profitabloa3. they choose by their
enterprise to makpiH. ; In this way , by gov
ernment Inspection , , -pure liquors are pro
vided at the lowosfciirice , and u guaranty Is
given that sales will boprohibltcd to per
sons usually mentioned in the laws as liable
to abuse the privilege to their hurt und the
damage of their families.
The question was raised as to whether it
is right for the state to engage in u business
of this kind , to which answer was made that
the state docs not emrugo in this as
n business for business cuds , either as a pro
prietor or a partner , but uses this means to
diminish the evils resulting from the ordi
nary modes by which liquor is supplied to the
people.

Little 17-year-old Susie McGovern , who
lives nt Fourth and Hickory streets , was
taken to the city jail last night to bo treated
for burns caused by concentrated lye.
Miss Susie has n lover named Brawlcy and
It seems that the elder sister of the girl ob
jects to his visiting- the place. Last night
when the young man called Miss McGovern
the elder throw u dish of lye at the pair.
The quick action of Susie saved her lover's
face and eyes from being burned , but some
of the fluid hunted the lower part of young
Bruwloy's face. Ho was taken to his homo
at Fourth and Center streets and a doctor
called.
Dr. Towno examined the girl's o.yo and
wrist where they Had been burned und de
clared that the burns were not serious. The
whole matter grow out of the objection of
the older sist r to the young lover's presence
in the houso.

nct Ponltlons Decided ,
Nnw YOIIK , Jan , .TO. The Tribune prints
ho following : A prominent democrat of
bis state , who has a national reputation ,
ind n chut with President-elect Cleveland
restcrday In this city , In the coin-so of which
Mr. Cleveland told frankly what ho Is now
loing and what his policy would bo in re
spect to federal appointments.
"Mr. Cleveland , " said this democrat , "Is
hlnklng now more about the repeal of the
Slierman silver act , nnd nettling the stl
vcr problem generally , than he Is of
cabinet upjioltitincnt.s. But the cabinet
appointments , ns well as all other federal
appointments , will bo largely governed by
Mr. Cleveland's evident desire to stop the
: oinngo of the present dishonest silver dollar.
Mr. Cleveland regards the silver issue as the
larnmount one in politics , supreme oven to
the tariff. The settlement of the govern
ment's relation to silver , therefore , will
mvo precedence of the settlement of the
: urlff issue. The Sherman act , in his opinion ,
s a peril to the country , and it must bo re-
iculcd before anything else can bo done with
safety.
( 'oiiKroBdinon Who Dliplcnsn Him.
"Feeling ns keenlv ns ho docs upon the
natter , Mr. Cleveland cannot but observe
with astonishment the conduct of certain
lomocratlc congressmen , who after a visit
to him for the purixiso of pushing the u ] > -
olntmont of certain friends of theirs to
ligh federal ofllccs , return to Washington
ind do their utmost not only to prevent the
repeal of the Sherman silver net , but even
work hard to pass a free coinage net. These
gentlemen will learn before another your
ins passed that Mr. Cleveland does not In
tend to put in high government positions
men who will attempt to defeat his policy in
respect to silver , and that ho has observed
the action of su.'h democratic congressmen
it Washington , who , pretending to bo his
friends , steadily favor in committees and on
the lloor of the senate and house of repre
sentatives the frco coinage of silver. "
"What cabinet appointments has Mr.
Cleveland thus far decided upon ? " nsked the
Tribune reporter.
Ilitf Only Miule Tuo Cnlilnct Appointments
"Only two John G Carlisle of Kentucky
for secretary of the treasury , und Daniel S.
Lament of AOW York for secretary of war.
Both of these appointments are in the line of
Mr. Cleveland's policy of unrelenting hos
tility to the -ccnt silver dollar. Mr.
Carlisle , as secretary of the treasury , of
course , will be called upon especially to carry
out the president-elect's policy in respect
0d silver , but Colonel Lament can also bo
dependcu upon to enforce loyally this feature
of Mr. Cleveland's policy Colonel Lament ,
I hear , is placed In the War department by
Mr. Cleveland , with the aim by the latter of
Having I : a thorough examination of the pen
sion rolls made and the dishonest receivers
ss sG pensions weeded out. Of course , the pen
sion bureau is in ho Interior department ,
but 1 the War department has certain books
which will unable Colonel Lament to do tills
work in a thorough manner. William C.
Whitney has said that ho thought a man
might ; make a national reputation in .the
cabinet who would go over the pension list
and detect the fraudulent pensioners.
Fraudulent I'cnslonern Muni ( Jo.
"Tho nation , he thought , was gladly payIng -
Ing i pensions to the honest pensioner.- ; , but
was discontented over the suspicion that
many : of the claims which hud been granted
under formec- pension commissioners , demo
crats and republicans , wcro fraudulent. "
"Has Mr. Cleveland been told by Hlchard
Croker that Senator Edward Murphy , jr. ,
and Tammany hall will support his policy of
administration ? " '
"No overtures have been made to Mr.
Cleveland by anybody claiming to represent
Tammany hull or Mr. Murphy. That
call of Bourke Cockran lately upon
Mr. Cleveland was solely with ref
erence to the silver coinage matter ; it had
no relation to state or national iwlitics of
1t the kind you refer to. Mr. Croker has said
to Mr. Cleveland , In the course of casual con
versation , two or three times since election
ti that Mr. Murphy would not oppose him , but
it i was dropped out in the most incidental
way und not followed up in any manner. "
"I presume Mr. Cleveland will muke a
largo 1 number of appointments to olllco in
New York state us soon as ho is sworn in us
president 1I ! "
Will Mukc Very row Appointment * .
"Upon the contrary , he will make very
few ; nnd ho will not mnko n largo number of
appointments in the state the first year of
his administration. It is his desire to select
busincsss men for the federal offices at his
disposal , and of course this work of selecting
from among them will take u good deal of
time : far more so than If ho made his selec
tions from nn exclusively political ciass. "

will bo n member of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet.
Ho is constantly holding conferences with

"W. W. Bishop , a farmer from Waterloo ,
with straw-colored hair nnd a stoop in his
shoulders , came to town yesterday to pay
his taxes. But ho never will turn over the
money ho brought with him to the county
treasurer. Before climbing the hill to the
court house Bishop thought u sight of the
elephant would do him goodand so ho took a
whirl through the bad lands. Some of the
mulatto girls on North Ninth street enticed
the aged farmer into their dens of vice und
while there robbed him of his tux money.
As soon us ho could Bishop reported the
mutter to the police und spent the night ut
the Jail , llrst because bo was broke and sec-
only because ho wanted to bo around when
the colored women were arrested. The
women were too smooth for the f miner und
were over the river long before ho hud re
ported the matter at headquarters.
