Tlicre nro a good many people who are Watching with not a little Interest a conical that IB Just now going on between Hector n. J. nabcock of St. rani's church and the youtiK ladles of his congregation. As every one knows , thla Is the Lenten season , li which all who have not been good during the year arc supposed to malic up for losi tlmo by being uncommonly good. Halls parties and social functions generally arc tabooed , and the fair maidens glvo thorn- selves up to religious meditation and making plans and specifications for Easter bonnets. Not long ago. however , the quietude ol Lent was disturbed by. a party at the home of ono of the young ladles , to which quite a number of the young people of the church wcro Invited. It was a rather Informal and decidedly gay aff lr , and although the fnlr ones do not tell all they know , It Is com monly reported that more than one fantastic too was tripped. Ilev. Mr. Dabcock hoard of the affair and last Sunday ho astounded some of his youthful hearers by making a public allusion to their slnfulneas In thus depriving themselves of the spiritual bene fits which Lent Is supposed to bring the devotees at the church. He even went so far as to announce that a repetition of the offense would result In the offender receiv ing her letter from the church. This threat might reasonably bo expected to have the desired effect , but It did not. Last Thursday night a party was given by several young society men of the city and of all the young ladles of St. Paul's church who were so fortunate as to receive Invitations there were only two who feared the rector's threat enough to deny them selves the pleasure of an evening's dancing while there wore as many as a dozen who went and enjoyed the festivities of the evening , although with quaking hearts. The question that Is now agitating the minds ol the fair ones Is , how much of the rector's threat was really and truly meant ? Mr , Habcock Is not commonly considered a man given to "bluffing , " least of all In the pttlplt , and there are some girls who will not bo surprised at receiving their walking papers In the near future. HUNT ANI ) KVANS. Candidates for School Hoard Selected After u Stormy Coiucntlcm. There were sand burs In the road , and the people who held the nonpartlsan convention last evening were nil barefooted. Most ol them were democrats. The superior court room at the county court house was well filled when the meeting was called to order by Lucius Wells , who summohed W. II. Ware to act as chairman. F. II. Evans was chosen secretary. A motion was made to appoint a committee of six to select candi dates , and to have the committee composed of three republicans and three democrats. It was right at this point that John Allies caused a commotion by voting , with a lot of his friends , against this proposition , nnd then Jumping up and shouting : "Mr. Chair man , I'm ono of those who said no ; there are a good many of us Independents hero , and wo want to bo represented. " A division of the house was called for , and the motion was found carried by a vote of C5 to 28. After ono and another had refused to serve on the committee , six men were found who were willing to serve , nnd their names were as follows : Oscar Keeline , John I'usey and G. H. Jackson , republicans , and -W. H. Thomas , U. H. White and M. P. Rohrcr , democrats. While the committee was out preparing Us report some ono called for John Allies. That gentleman had been refused recognition by the chair when he made his former outburst , and his collar had become warm almost to Incandescence. "Gentle men , " he said , "I will not talk unless your chairman requests It. " And then ho pro ceeded to talk. "Mr. Chairman , I wonder If you know there are any populists In this city. This Is a citizens' meeting and we populists don't llko to be slapped In the face In thla way. " Ho then turned to the audience and commenced to roast Mr. Ware , who ac cepted his anto-mortom cremation In a truly Christian spirit. He exhorted the members of the convention not to give over tholrpublic affairs Into the hands of such politicians as Ware. By thla tlmo the audience had become uproarious and com menced to yell. For several minutes Allies tried to talk , but whenever he would start anew now sentence the audience would start anew now yell. He finally gave It up as a bad Job and went through a highly edifying pantomime , performance which lasted several minutes. Ho then strode from the hall amid the yells of the convention. Quiet having been restored , a motion was made by Emll Schurz that a committee con. slating of two democrats , two republicans and a populist bo appolnted to draw up a sot of resolutions. The motion was carried , and the committee consisted of O. P. Wlck > ham , I. 'F. Ilendrlcks , W. A. Wood , Peter Smith and L. Klnnchan. The committee on candidates reported , recommending John T. Oliver and F. H. Evans , S. H. Wndsworth moved to substi tute the name of J. F. Hunt of the Sixth ward for that of Oliver , because there were already three members of the board from the Third ward. The amendment was car ried by a vote of 68 to JO , nnd Mr. Hunt signified his willingness to serve If elected. The committee on resolutions then re ported , the majority report hlmply declaring In favor of a nonpartlsan board nnd strict economy In the expenditure of public funds. Mr. Klnnehan presented a minority re-port of the resolutions which wcro passed at the populist convention the night before. Am brose Durko moved that the minority report bo adopted , but the attempt to railroad It through was defeated , It. N. Whlttlesey and Lucius Wells denouncing several of thp planks as misrepresenting the facts , par. tlcularly these with reference to the High school cadets and the frequent changing of text books. The report was taken up by sections , and after nearly all of It had been weeded out what was left was adopted In the following form : Wo licllnvo tbnt the Intelligence of the people Is the safeguard of our countrv nnd thoieforo fnvor the levy of p. sufficient tax to maintain the public schools In such a manner as to produce the greatest pos- slblo good to the people. Wo believe that In times of great business depression nnd gpnerol distress among the middle nnd poorer clnrscs the taxes should bo tcdnced to the minimum consistent with the public good.

TECUMSEH , Neb. , March 0. ( Special to The Bee. ) At the time of the failure of the bank of Russell & Holmes In this city some two years ago , County Treasurer D. II. Bush had on deposit In that Institution about $7,000 of Johnson county's money. Before retiring from the office , and at his final settlement with the commissioners January 1 , Mr. Bush presented In settlement the certificates of deposit on the collapsed bank for said amount. They were deemed worthless by the commissioners and the county attorney wasjnstructed to take steps toward the collection of the amount from Bush or his bondsmen , and as the former Is not worth the amount the loss threatened to fall on the latter. Friends of the un fortunate ox-treasurer and his bondsmen came to their relief this week , however , and a petition to the Board of County Commissioners , asking that Mr. Bush nnd his bondsmen be exonerated from said liability and that the loss fall upon the county has been promiscuously circulated over the county and the names of hundreds of voters attached to It.The petition did not meet general approval , however , and scarcely had It suggested Itself until ono In remonstrance was being circulated by poli tical enemies of the gentlemen In question. The parties advancing the last petition , though aware that Mr. Bush and his sureties were the victims of unfortunate clrcum- statfcss , were of the opinion thaUthey should flrln and bear It.

Endorsed by the medical faculty and multitudes of people ple whoso sufferings it line roliovod. Two children , grandchildren of Mrs. I. Sklnklc , residing on Second avenue , Council Hluffs , were badly scalded with hot water. The family physician bad them both dressed with Mecca Compoundand as soon as It was applied they ceased crying , nnd the young est , a babe of 15 months , soon after fell Into a peaceful sleep. Mrs. Sklnklo says although both were badly burned , yet after the application of the compound they suf fered but little , ate well , slept Bound , and In three weeks time were entirely healed , with scarce a mark remaining. I am an old nurse of many yearn experience , but I never saw nny thing to compare with Mecca Compound for burns , nor In fact for cuts and surface wounds of nny kind. Ona bad case of a cut becoming poisoned und putrid was permanently ctticd by a few ap plications of Mecca Compound , while Car bolic Salve , Indian Salve , and one of my own make seemingly bad no effect In a three weeks trial , but was constantly grow ing woise. I could tell of many wonderful cures effected by Mecca Compound. Prepared by .THE FOSfKR MANUFACTURING CO. , COUNCIL II1.UFF8 IOWA. And for Sale by All Drug-gists.
