Methodist church la meeting with continued
success. U Is still the largest bible class
In the city.
Major llnlfortl IIH un 1'xpoiindor.
An Omaha special to the Chicago Record
says :
Speaking of churches reminds me that
Elijah Halford's bible class has become one
ot the great institutions ot the town.
When he lived In Indianapolis nnd edited
the Journal for Hon. John C. Now , Llje ha3
n bible class In the Methodist church that
was almost as large as the. average attend
ance at morning service. On rainy Sun
days , or during the hot weather , when the
brethren didn't feel veil enough to go to
church , they could always bo depended upon
to turn up after the benediction for Sunday
school and 1 stcn to LI jo Halford expound
the scriptures , es he could do better than
any preacher or layman south of the
Wabash river. When he went to Wash
ington that bible class disintegrated , and
LIJo didn't start one there because he was
so burdened with tbe cares of state. But
when he went to Omaha as a brand-new
major and paymaster in the army the first
thing he did after getting measured for his
uniform and unpacking his trunk was to
organ'zc a class In the First Methodist
church that Isn't equaled for numbers and
general Intelligence except , perhaps , by the
one Mr. Wanamikcr conducts In Phila
delphia In the Mholo Und. There arc235
members all men and some of the wisest
and most learned ot the population answer
"hero" as Llje calls the roll every Sunday
morning. No fatigue or business engage
ments , no Btorni or cold or heat , can keep
them away , for when Llje Halford com
mences to expound Ecrtpturcs It Is worth
going a long Journey to hear him talk.

AITAIK3 AT SOUTH OMAHA.
Glasgow Will Stop Out nml McMillan In
Tomorrow Morn Inc.
Mr. John J , McMillan received his commis
sion as postmaster yesterday , and on Monday
morning will take full possession ol the ofllce.
The work ot invoicing the stock has already
begun.
Mr. McMillan was appointed about ( wo
months act ) . He has made his home in
South Omaha for the last seven years , and
has always taken an active part In demo
cratic politics. His appointment Is said to
have been through the recommendation of
Secretary Morton. Ho Is thoroughly com
petent to (111 ( the position. When seen by
The Bee man. last evening , he said that for
the present he would not make a single
change In the office force.
Dr. J. M. Glasgow , the retiring postmaster ,
was lucky enough to serve out a little more
than a four-year term. Ho give the ofllce
his personal supervision , and was surrounded
by a corps ot men who were careful , obliging
and competent. The doctor Is one of the
Pioneer citizens , and Is as popular a man as
there Is In South Omaha today. The men
who have been associated with him during
hta administration speak well of the manner
In which Dr. Glasgow has treated them.
liiillnn Skeletons Found.
While , excavating for the foundation for
the new Bohemian Catholic clmrch , nt
Twenty-second and Wyman streets , yester
day , the workmen discovered a number of
skulls and skeletons. In one place there
were skulls of four adults and one baby.
The distinction could readily be mnJo by
the teeth and size of the bones. The tact that
thtro were beads lying near the bones gives
strength to the supposition that at one time
this spot was an Indian burying1 ground
There ara men who have lived In this
vicinity for the last twenty-nine years , and
they say that there never was a burying
ground .tor Indians at that place within that
period , There was no Indication that cot
fins or boxes of any sort had been used , aud
nearly every one of the skeletons Indicated
that the bodies had been placed there In a
sitting position. The baby bones were lying
close to those of a grown person , who might
lia/o been the mother. The skulls were
picked up by those who will keep them as
relics of the very early days of South Omaha
One skeleton was partially petrified.

Inated at the council meeting next Monday
night by Mayor Johnston to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of W. M. Wood ,
Mr. Morgan has oeen on active worker In
the democratic ranks for years and has a
host of friends. The general expression o :
the property holders In the ward Is that n
better selection could be made by the mayor ,
It Is openly asserted , however , by certain
members of the council , that Mr. Morgan
cannot bo confirmed. The members retuso
to state why they are opposed to Mr .Morgan
The friends of Mr. J. G. Irvine are urging
his appointment In case Mr. Morgan doe ;
not succeed. Mr. Irvine Is employed by tin
Cudahy company and Is a democratic rustler.
There are others who would like to be ap ,
pointed , but men who claim to know say
that Mr. Morgan's name will be the firs
ono sent In by the mayor. _

entire community. While they are staunc
democrats , not a single one of them
Is In favor of allowing the convention

The South Side Bowling club struggled
heroically to wrest victory , In the last of
Ilia scries of match games , from the North
Side , or Plattsduelschc club , last Wednesday
evening1 , but as novices they went to defeat
before tha old timers. It was an exciting
game of three and one-halt hours' dura
tion , during which vociferated ecstasies of
delight alternated at times with hoots , In
vectives even to spectators , until Fritz
Mueller's commodious hall resounded with
the noise , Almost every strike mada by
cither side was an occasion for reupwrd
cheering and exaltation by the rest of tbo
bowler's team , while middles subjected him
to ridicule and a mild \orrn \ of chastisement.
In the same ratio the vplrlta ot tha oppos
ing force fell and rose. The excitement In
creased as HID game progressed , an.l a not
Inconsiderable amount ot betting was done
on the result toward tha close. This , hrw-
ever , did not engender bad blood and lead
to excesses ; on the contrary , the best of
feeling prevailed when the participants
separated.
The bets seemed to be a stimulus rather
to renewed efforts on the part of the players ,
even If they did add to the chagrin In case
of failure. The south slders , who had Is
sued the challenge for the scries of match
games , while bewailing 'their ' loss , were
Willing to credit their opponents with su
perior skill In a ten-pin game , as evidenced
by the several medals worn ; at the saute
time they attributed detent to the genuine
amateur proclivities ot most of their play
ers , whose breasts are bare of decorations.
This latter fact , north endrrs contend , was
balanced by the thoroug'h familiarity upon
the particular alleys which the soutU-
enders enjoyed.
TIBKB TOOK THC MEDAL.
Harry Tlbko was the winner of the medal
In the contest over which the riatts-
deutsche club exults and their opponents
weep , at least this Is what Champion Stali-
ner of the latter team said when ho presented
the medal with compliments. The flrsl
team was captained by' William Druhn.
Peter Fehrs occupied the same position for
the southendcrs. George Hahn actedi as um-
plro , and George Zlmmer nnd Emll Scume
wore the scorers. William Kopko nnd Fritz
Mueller were the first opponents who took
position on the alloys , both making an In
ferior score , with the latter leading by two
points. William Butt and Otto Mueller fol
lowed with a like score. When Harry Tibke
and Ed Fehrs had delivered their balls the
South Side was still .fqH'ier four points
ahead. This , was Increased to eleven when
Henry Schroeder and Lbrenzo Dow Plckard
had done rolling. The .Hqath Slders smiled
audibly by this time,11 Which did not per
ceptibly decrease afteH tHe third balls of
Peter Schroeder and Fred Henrlchiten. Theo
dore Ilcuck was doubly worsted by Charles
Stahmer his spare belri ) ? ' discounted by a
strike. The Plattsdeutscher , for the llrst
time In this Inning , fofgWlo the front with
Herman Beselln making .a strike , while
William Kleck made awkward deliveries ,
which netted him only flv'd. John Busch and
George Hlnz , who wast substituted for Peter
Elsasscr , did not cffectftlrnuch of a change
In the score , but with Itlie ninth and last
call of Charlea Ilumohr-Tind Fred Arm-
brust , the former dellvorttf his first ball In
a manner which artuaed enthusiasm ,
making a strike , while1 tha Matter had to bo
satisfied with n. break W throb deliveries.
The second Inning was started'afis'plclously
again by the South Side team , F. Mueller
counting a spare and Fehrs a strike to one
spare for Bu't. In the latter part Deselln
added considerably to his score by nnotTIer
spare , which was counterbalanced to some
extent by another one from Hlnz. The
third Inning closed with an equal number
of strikes and spares for both sides ,
Schroeder nnd Bjseltn making ths former
for the Northcnders and Henrichsen nnd
Stahmcr for the South Side.
IT GROWS DECISIVE.
The contest In the fourth Inning opened
and continued In favor of the semiprofessionals
sionals from the north , Kopkc leading off with
a clearing of the boards on his first round.
Schroeder Imitated his example and Tibke ,
Peter Schroeder , Heuck , IJcsolln nnd Uusch
followed with telling spares. All this tlmo
the south sldo team could only record breaks
at best. Under these circumstances the for
mer led by more than half a hundred , In
ths Inning which followed slight gains were
made by an additional strike for Captain
Fehrs' men , though nn extra spare had to
be accredited to Brulm's team. At this point
the former were fully aroused to the neces
sity of either winning this game or renounc
ing * claim to the medal , and the sixth Inning
was concluded by three clearances of the
iramo on first delivery , In their favor , to
the latter's one. Honors were about even In
the seventh Inning. The succeeding one.
proved poor for the northslders , not a single
strike being recorded. On tli2 part of the
south side F. Mueller and Henrlchsen ex
erted themselves to the extent of two strikes.
In the ninth Inning th ! " former club went
almost out of sJght of Its competitors by
knocking pins right and left , while the latter
seemed discouraged and unable to make 'a
single clearance on first balls. IL was now
almost hopeless for them , but they appeared
to regain some of the lost courage , and In
the last Inning went bravely to battle again.
Strikes and spares were even. In this/ but
the former Inning told lee heavily against
the south alders to give them oven a scm-
blanco of a show. Scorer Seumo announced
the totals as 1,138 to 1,018. Individually the
south side club was able to produce the best
scor- . but collectively It fell away behind ,
especially In the concluding of the series of
games.
Tha games proved Interesting , but the average -
ago on ten pins , Is perhaps not fully up lo
the standard established by eastern clubs of
longer practice. Since , however , sport of this
character has become quite popular , the clubs
feel assured of being able to produce some
thing of still grsatcr attractiveness In future
If diligent practising can accomplish this re
sult.
NINE PIN BOUT.
Tha match gamea were concluded with a
nlncpln bout , and in this the members ot the
South Sldo club collectively took Its revenge.
They battered down plna , leaving only a
lone one , excepting , perhaps , dead , wood
upon the frame. This recreation proved a
solace and a healing balm-to their wounded
feelings and bleeding hearts. How they did
rub It In on their opponents nnd with what
an apparent delight they.applled salt to the
sore spots of Injured pride.
The courage previously1lodged In shoes
now soared around pinnacles. With roptur-
oui exclamations theyifnont challenge after
challenge to their coinpjtlUors. One pf these
was Issued to Tibke.e tfo , winner of the
medal , and accepted by him. The game is
to be played next Wednefiday for a money
consideration and tha prlip of refreshments.
L. D. Pickard was the .challenger. In the
sixth Inning of the but ] game- the South
Slders managed to ma eislx out of a possi
ble nine , thereby gainingttjrco points. From
this time until the cloaa thij lead was kept
by them. Every Inning.hjiione added some
thing to their score , uatlL the scorer pro
claimed 43 points lor Item and 39 for the
Plattsdeutsches. The Joy of the winners -was
somewhat dampened when the highest Indi
vidual acore was given again to Harry
Tibke , who delivered the balls almost to
perfection , making eight out of 'ten nines.

General Passenger Agent Francis ol the
Burlington has' returned from Chicago ,
whore ho went to meet Mr. Ctiarlea 8. Fee
ot the- Northern Pacific to nrrange details
for the exchange of passenger business nt
Blllinga when the Burlington extension Is
completed to that point. Mr. Francis was
guarded In what he said relative to the traf
fic agreement made between the Burlington
and Northern Pacific , but remarked dicing
the course of the talk that ho anticipated
the two roads would not be far apart when
the extension was open for business October
15.
Upon HID question of the failure of the
transcontinental lines to reach an agree
ment Mr. Francis was outspoken. In terse
and vigorous English he criticised the call
ing of a meeting of lines th Interest when
the Southern Pacific and Santa Fa had
shown no Indication ol having settled their
differences , which have resulted' In a uum-
ber of rate wars in Cjllfornla.
"It was fair to presume , " said Mr , Frah-
cis , "that when tha call was Ibsucl the
Southern Pacific and Santa. Fe had como to
some sort f nn agreement regardlns long
continued differences. These differences had
In time. ? past liaen constant annoyances to the
association and their import was thoroughly
well known. In.the face of thes.e dlfferimi.es ,
however , a meeting wns called and after
some time the old tlcht between the South
ern Pacific and Santa Fa came on as 11.1111) ) ,
to the everlasting disgust of everybody ,
some of the representatives of the transcon
tinental lines having como hundreds of ml lea
to attend the meeting with the hope that en
agreement would bo reached. After the dif
ferences between the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fo had been aired came the demand
of the Oregon Railway and Navigation com
pany through the Great Northern lor the
same differentials enjoyed by the Canadian
Pacific via Vancouver , and another liltch
ensued ,
"So the Jangle continued until the men In
attendance got llred. Mr. Lomax quietly
took up his satchel and went on to New-
York , leaving his road unrepressmte.1. Of-
llclala of lines other than the Union Pacific
followed suit and at last IIas decided upon
the part of those in attendance tu qu't ,
which they proceeded to do. Until the
Southern Pacific and Santa Fo adjust their
differences It would be the height ol folly
to anticipate a solution of the problem. "

When the county commissioners convened
yesterday afternoon , about the first thing
that they did was to pull out the axe and
slash off a head. The head that was. put > on
the block was the one belonging to Dan
Burr , the ciunty agent at the supply store
located on St , Mary's avcnus , over which
Burr had presided for a couple of years.
The decapitation came about by reason of a
resolution Introduced by Commissioner Llvc-
sey of the charity committee and adopted by
a vote of 4 to 1. By th terms of the reso
lution Burr Is to vacate the place with the
Incoming of the next month. '
There was no reason given for the removal
of Burr , but alter the meeting had adjourned
Commissioner Lives.-y stated that the county
ajjent had Ills household effects alt packed
and wns liable to desert his ppst without
Slvlns tlio county a minute's- notice , his In-
tsntlon being to go south nnd take cliargo
ot the lumber luter.sts of the Denver &
Gulf railroad company. i
When seen , Mr. Burr said that Ills re
moval wna a complete surprise , as he had
been given no notice " that his services wpre
to be dlspsnsed "with , Ho stild that Itwas. .
true that he- expected to co Into the service
of the Denver ffi. Gulf road , but before going
ha expected to resign and ghe fh' county
coramlEuloners nt least ono month's notice.
His removal , he said , ho looked upon as an
effort and an attempt to do him an. Injury.
Burr said that It was not true tha ? he hod
packed lil& household.goads. II ; also state/T
thpt ho had always worked for ths best In
terests of tlio county and thought that It
would have been the proper thina If he had
been given nn opportunity of resigning.
In the transaction of routin ; business the
following , protest against thn Issuance of ad
ditional road Improvement bonds , and slgneil
by Curtis C. Turner and HI other residents
nnd taxpayers , was presented , read and re

Hltlon at the pnrsrnt time lo Icsue bonds
In any hum for the further pavlnjr or mm : .
uduinlslnK of the roads of Uuuglan cjunty.
We belluve that tiny further extension of
the present pavement * would be u bail
policy that could not be exercised by nnv
seemlnR necessity. The woitc that Ima bepfi

ana until Butltclent time nun . -l.iiiscd to de.

believe that tiny further e.xtenxlon would Bo
Inadvisable.
Again , Iho roads that it IB proposed lo

ceive a permanent surfacing ami cannot be
brought to a satisfactory profile.
To expend further Bums In Riving- per
manence tu our present reads tvauld , In our
opinion , lie n nioxt unwise and injudicious
expenditure of county funds ,
As frlf-nUH of the movement in favor of
better roads , we protCHt aRalnut Ihu contin

detrimental to the Inlerpsts of the people
of IJouKlas county , and that cnn only nerve
