In connection with the recent rumors about an Impending real estate boom In the north western part of the city It can be positively stated that negotiations are now pending with reference to the Bale of 120 acres ot the Myn- ster property , situated just north of the city In the vicinity of Mynstcr springs. Not many days ago a gentleman called upon W. A. Mynster , the owner , and secured an option at the prlco of $40.000. Shortly after another party called on Mynster nnd made him a bet ter offer than that , but was met \\lth the re ply that It was tied up by the option until January 1 , so that further negotiations were broken off. Mr. Mynstor was seen by a Bee reporter , and In reply to questions , said : "Although the second man's talk was cut off somewhat short by my telling him that the property was now out of reach , I am pretty well satisfied that I could have gotten perhaps J20 per acre In advance ot the price offered ma by the first prospective buyer. Who arc the men that are after It ? Well , thcro are some things that a man Is not supposed to tell , and that Is one of them. I can say this much , however , that I am as sure of selling that 120 acre strip before Jan uary 1 , 'as I am that I am sitting hero this minute. " Although Mr. Mynstcr would not tell who wan trying to buy his land , some one elss would. It Is learned from authority that Is near enough to the Inside to bo unquestlon- able that the option was secured by the Union Land & Improvement company , and that the sale will be effected by January 1 , 1805 , and perhaps a long time before. It Is understood that It Is being purchased for the stock yards company that was recently organized with'a capital stock of 12,600,009. A rumor has also been going the rounds that the Driving park has been sold to the same company. Local members state that J. J. Brown of Omaha Is the only stock holder In the company who knows whether the sal © has been made or not , but they profess to doubt the truth of the report , from the fact that the Omaha stockholdcdrs are all opposed to selling the park tor less than J2.000 an acre , and they do not bellevo that any such offer has been made. Whether It Is sold or not , however , there Is little doubt that In the near future this tract , Ilka BO many others of equal size In the north western part of the city , will be the prop erty of the Union Land and Improvement company. "You may depend upon It , " remarked one of the local stockholders , "the Omaha fel lows know what they are doing. Guy C. Barton Is right on the Insldo of all the pro jected Improvements In the northwest end , and If he hangs out for $2,000 , as he un doubtedly does , It Is because ho has positive assurance that In the near future the prop erty will command that sort of a figure.

The reunion of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee closed yesterday , many of the visitors leaving on the morning trains and many more on the afternoon. This morning will find probably every one of the 160 guests gone homo , and the badgesi that stamped n man as connected In some way with the army or the committees on entertainment will bo laid away as souvenirs ot a rneinor- able reunion. Without exception the visitors were enthusiastic In their praises of the way In which they were treated while hero . Al- though they are accustomed to the fat eland the land , the-y did not hesitate to say that they had never been treated more loyally. It must be confessed that "syrhposlum , " which was a prominent feature of the third floor of the Grand , or the "symbqozelurn. " as It was facetiously termed by an Irreverent elevator boy , was one of the most highly ap- preclatel things about the reunion. Thc'l-o the men met for an hour's chat , nnd the stories that were told within those four walls would make a book that w'outij probably double discount any book ever written fiom point of Interest. The last thing on the program was the re ception to General T. G. Lawler gf Itockford I , 111. , commander-ln-chlef ot tlje Grand Army of the Republic. This took place In the Grand Army hall yesterday afternoon , that time having to bo taken Instead of the evenIng i- Ing , as was at first Intended , so as not io Interfere with Lawler's plans. About 4 o'clock the members of Abe Lincoln post gathered at the Grand hotel and escorted Mr. Lawler and all of the members of the Army r.r. of the Tennessee who were still In the city , to the hall , where they were met by a large assembly , among whom were a number it members of the Woman's Relief corps. Col l- onel L. C. Huff made n few remarks , after whloh Commander Lawler was Introduced. His words were full of enthusiasm for the order of which ho Is the head. MUs Malic Baker delivered n , declamation , after which all the guests sat down to a repast that was furnished by the ladles of the Relief corps. This having been disposed of , ex-Department Commander J , J. Steadman of this city octed J as toastmaster , and called upon General Wolcotl , Mrs. Ayres , Hon. Spencer Smith , Judge Walter I. Smith and Charles M. Marl for addresses. ' Wall McFaddcn's drum ccrps | furnished some martial music , to the delight ot the old soldiers , and the reception was brought to an end at C o'clock , nftor which : Commander Lawler left Immediately for the train , accompanied by a number of the othqr officers. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Oregon Kidney Tea cures backache.

DEMAND BETTER PftEACHERS t i Qualifications of Ministers $ { scassed Briefly by the Methodist Oonferonco Yesterday , BISHOP ANDREWS' ' VIEWS ON THE MATTER Ilnthcr Lively Tilt ItatncMi A.Trlnl Preacher ami Ills I'rcslillng Uhlcp Women's Homo MlMionnrjr Sficloty Ser mon Committees at AVorIi. . Yesterday's session of the North Nebraska conference was opened by devotional cxer- olsos , led by Ilov. Lcedam ol Norfolk. Ilev. Snldor ot Chapman was appointed statisti cal secretary In place ot llrothcr Snavely of North Dend. Rev. Gray was appointed assistant statistical secretary. The statistical secretory called the roll of charges not having given In their report , The treasurer was not ready to report , BO the matter wont over for the time being. On motion of Hev. Marquotlo a committee of five was. . appointed to set forth the needs of the fields of this conference. Revs. Marquette - quetto , Robinson , Wooley , dearhart nnd Leedam were appointed , On motion of the secretary , Hovs. Pillsbury - bury , Lcedam and Webster were appointed as a commlttco to consider a communication from Nebraska Central college. Two members ot the committee on tracts having failed to appear , Rev. Myers and Rev. Fleharty were appointed In their places. The question of admitting ministers who are now on trial was then taken up and upon reports of examining committees and presiding elders a large number were ad mitted , while others were continued on trial. This work occupied most of the morning's session. A communication from the Utah Mlrs'onary society was read and laid over for future action. The matter refers to the case of Rov. La Varke. The bishop tald he > was aware that con ferences were not careful enough In passing upon the fitness of applicants for the work ot the ministry. He was opposed to ad mitting them upon trial ; he would hold them out until they had proved their fitness for the work of the Methodist ministry. In th matter the presiding elders were the ey of the people , and he would urge upon them more Christian care. This met with hearty aniens from the members of the conference. RCV. MR. WILSON'S CASG. The < report In the case ot Rev. Wilson created ! < a great deal of discussion. Rev. Wilson had as one point to serve the village of Dannebrog. His presiding elder-wanted him continued on trial for another year , but ministers and laymen objected. Rev. Wilson went to Dannebrog and held n meeting In a bce > garden and turned It Into a placa of Cod , He found but three Methodists there and In one short year had seventy con versions. His work wis good ; he waa shown to be pious nnd courageous , and endowed with plity to a marked degree. In point of fact Rev. Wilson was shown to bo an exemplary young < man , and there was emphatic opposi tion to referring his case to the committee on conference relations. The presiding elder said ho thought Hey.yllson \ deficient Int Judgment , and this caused one aged brother Ind t spring to his feet aril declare that ho denied the right of a presiding older to question his Judgment. iThl ? brought out seme more "amens , " this time , from the lay men. The motion to refar the case was laid ' upon the table w Itli a jthud and the minister was continued on trial. Dr. Louis Curts , representing the publish ing Interests of the church , was Introduced to the conference. He assumed that Meth odists knew the advantages of having good Methodist ' literature. That's why he took It for granted that Methodists should and do patronize Methodist publications. Dr. Curts said , his father was a shoemaker , consequently quently father always made bis boots. In this way the money wasflltepl In the family. So the Methodist boolc 'concern Is a Meth odist family affair. He said a few words about the Christian Advocate published In Omaha , and warned the peopla against be coming Insular. His chief complaint was that the Methodist book concern could not get Its works before the people who took only the Independent papers. This led Rev. Shank to arise and tender Dr. Curts a whole column for advertising the Methodist Book concern's publications. "Is this a new offer ? " asked Dr. Curts. "No sir. " said Rev. Shank , "It has al ways been open. " "We did not know It , " said Dr. Curts. "What advertising wo have done with you has been paid for. " "Well , you offered to pay for It , and of course we took th& money. " The brethren and ulsters laughed , and Dr. Curts went on. He said some ministers were slow In paying for supplies , and that the chief offenders were those getting the largest salaries. The remarks of Dr Curts were full of Interest , and well splcjd with humor , and he was given close attention. Chairmen of the various committees an nounced the time of meetings. The noon hour having arrived the doxology was sungf , and after the benediction hud been pronounced by Bishop Andrews the pcr- ple gathered In front of the church to Imvo a group photograph taken.

It had closed the saloons which greeted the Immigrant at Battery Park , and had rescued thousands of Ignorant girls from the clutches of those who sought their ruin. Dr. Lasby devoted a largo- portion ot his remarks to describing points where the society would find a great work to do. Ho spoke of the "poor whites" of the south , Aho were hungering and thirstIng - Ing for the light of Christianity. They were steeped In Ignorance and devoid of all Idea of homo tics and homo comforts. Yet these "poor whites" to the number of over 10,000 fought for the old ( lag during the dark days of the rebellion. Tlio fleoplo of the north owed them n debt ot gratitude that could never bo paid. Ho referred to the- work to be done In the crowded tenements ot the cities , In New Mexico and Arizona , Utah and among the Indians. The speaker gave some Interesting statistics of church work and extension. In the states that Ha west of Wisconsin there Is a Methodist church to every 1,300 square miles , and In the opinion of the doctor tills Is not enough churches. The work of the deaconess' homes and of the Mother Jewells homo at York was eulo gized and the women urged on to more active work In the support of these Institutions. Last evening Rev. Dr. A. L ) .

"So many have asked me about the re sults of my treatment with Dr. Shcpard that I give the facts publicly. I suffered as thou sands of women do from neglected catarrh. My doctors could not , or would not , treat mo for my real trouble , and ths catarrh poison got hold of my whole body and nearly ruined me. It had been working In my system slnco I was 13 years old , but got much worse about four years ago. when I had la jrrlppo. "Ths musoiis lining of my nose and throat were first affected. I had a watery , nasal dis charge for a. while , then It became offensive , and the left nostril sucllcd shut. The left eye ran water and gave mo stinging pains. Soon my stomach was attacked. For tlvo years I was > n dyspeptic nnd couldn't digest enough food to furnish any strength or flesh. As the disease spread the bladder suf fered also , giving me unspeakable distress. My sufferings kept rest and sleep away un til my nervous system was about exhausted. "Shall I tell how Dr. Shcpard's work has acted on me ? "From being a weak and wretched Invalid I have como to bo hearty nnd healthy In every respect , I can't go up town without Eomo of my friends speaking about the great change , I believe Dr. Shcpard's treat ment can do for other women all It has done for mo.
