NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS .1 .
Union Revival Meetings Opened at the
Opera House Yesterday Afternoon.
STARTED OFF IN AN ENCOURAGING WAY
Plntform Occnploil ullh Mnny I'rrmlneut
Hcllclous Workers Alt Jolnl-JB To
gether for an Adtnnca
on Sntan.
The union services under the leadership of
F. T. I'Icrscn and I' . T. Jolmsou commenced
yesterday nrternoon , a men's meeting In the
opera house giving the opportunity tor the
two gentlemen to make their bow. There
was a largo audience , composed of men of
all ages , and great Interest was shown. About
forty ol the leading church workers of the
city were upon the platform. The meeting
was opened by the singing of "My Country ,
'TIs of Thee , " led by Mr. Johnion , and It
was joined In by every one present with a
vim that promhcd well for the future work
of the singers. Secretary Harry Curtis of
the Young .Men's Christian association read
the scriptures , nnd llcv. John Askln , U.D. ,
of the Congregational church , offered prayer.
Mr. I'ierson followed with an earnest ,
thoughtful address , Intended for the beneflt
of the men particularly. The meeting closed
with the singing of "Blozt Do the Tlo that
Binds. "
The management of the meetings have
commenced active operations , recognizing the
power of the newspapers , and have estab
lished a press headquarters In the 1'resby-
terlan church , where the meetings are to be
held. One of the rooms Just off the prayer
meeting room has been set aside for this
purpose , and Is fully equipped with pencils ,
paper and tables , but no shears or paste pot
have yet been procured. A blackboard stands
at one side , and each evening the program
for the next day will be written upon It.
The crowd that assembled at the First
1'resbyterlan church In the evening was the
largest j ever packed Into the building. Every
seat was occupied In the auditorium and the
lecture room , nnd the aisles were full. Hun
dreds were turned away from the doors for
lack of room , and for their beneflt an over
flow meeting was held late In the evening at
the Baptist church , with Messrs. Johnson
and I'lerson both present.
A choir of prhaps fifty volcss was hastily
gotten together by Mr. Johnson and drilled
a little while before the opening of the doors.
The big organ and the singers led the congre
gation well. After the usual preliminaries ,
Mr. I'lerson was Introduced. The question
he discussed was the authenticity of the bible.
There have been 200,000 books written about
the bible , but the old bible Is , after all , the
only book.
BANKS ON BIBLE 1NEHUANCY.
"I haven't come here , " said the speaker ,
"to advocate any new theory ; there Is only
one good bslng , God , and only one bad , Satan.
There Is a place of happiness , called heaven ,
and a place of wo ? , called hell. Do we depend
pend upon a lucky turn of the wheel for our
future existence , or Is life a certainty ? 1
take the latter view. As a seaman takes his
chart and compass out with him when start
ing on a voyage , so man must take the bible
and thtl dictates of his own conscience as
guides to eternal happiness. Much of the
bible must bo taken by faith , for we can't un
derstand It all. The man who says the bible
Isn't true Is only trying to hide behind a
guilty conscience.
"The bible must have been written either
by good men , bad men , or by God speaking
through Inspired men. Paul , Peter , and all
the rest of them claim It la the Word of
God , and If It Is not they deceive us , and
cannot therefore be good men. It cannot be
the work of bad men , for a bad tree does not
bring forth good fruit. The third theory ,
then. Is the only one left.
"Christ himself could not have been a
good man and not divine , for he held himself
out to be divine. If , then , he was not
divine , ho became a rank Impostor. You
cannot call him a bad man until you can
pick a single flaw In his character. No other
religion has elevated Its followers as has
the Christian. Men have done their best to
break down the bible , but the saying of
Christ that his word should not pass away ,
oven though heaven and earth should pass
away , has b3cn fulfilled , and the blblo stands
through everything. You cannot upset a
cube , you can only expose a new surface.
The men who have tried to overthrow the
blblo have merely exhibited new truths to
the world. It Is like the Irishman's wall ,
which ho built five feet wide nnd four feet
high ; when It Is tipped over It Is a foot
higher than It originally was. "
This afternoon there will be two meetings ,
at 1 and 3 o'clock , at the Presbyterian
church for boys and girls. At 3:30 : Mr.
Plerson will preach to men and women at
the same place. At 7:30 : the workers and ! {
choir will assemble at the church and nt 7:45 :
the doors will be opened to the public. The
subject this evening will be "Taking Away
the Stone. "

The Glenwood Opinion , published In the
heart of one of the greatest fruit raising dis
tricts In the state , has the following to say
of prospects :
With the coming of spring comes the In
quiry from almost every citizen of this sec
tion of the county , "How Is the fruit lookIng -
Ing ? " It Is not at all surprising that such
a question should como from our people , as
upon a satisfactory answer hang tens of
thousands of dollars and
, where dollars are
reckoned people some way or another arc
Interested.
The Opinion has been giving careful at
tention this week to the fruit question and
has endeavored to put Itself In touch with
many fruit growers with a view of learn
ing as near as can bo ascertained at this
time what the "signs of promise" ore for a
good fruit crop this year. So far as the
Inquiry has been prc-secd It has resulted In
the ono answer , viz. : "As fine a prospect
for a heavy crop as has ever been known at
this feeason of the year. " This seems to be
the general opinion of all orchard people In
this vicinity. The older trees are loaded
with bloom and thousands of young trees ,
which have reached the bearing ago since the
last heavy apple crop , are this spring swellIng , -
Ing the ranks of the prospective wealth-pro
ducer.
The season Is about ten days or two weeks
earlier than usual , and ihould the fruit meet
with no hard freeze or other unforseen de
stroyer , this country wilt see the cemlng
autumn a large share of the results of Its
planting and patient waiting In the shape of
a bountiful harvest. All kinds of fruits , ex
cept perhaps raspberries and strawberries ,
promise well. These were damaged very
seriously by the long continued drouth of
last season , and some of the grapes were
held ! back by the same cause , but with good
rains this season , It Is thought the grapes
will como forward with a heavy yield. In
nil of this there Is cause for rejoicing , and
the < Opinion being somewhat scrlpturally In
clined. Is ready to "rcjolco with those that
do rejoice. "

The good weather yesterday took a large
number cf people to Falrmount park , that
being the only resort available In this vicin
ity. No trains were run to Manawa on ac
count of some of the crossings still being un
laid. All the park motors were well filled ,
going and coming. The plan of having band
concerts In the park Is again being talked
of , and a hope Is expressed that some agree
ment may be entered Into between the com
missioners and the motor company by which
amusement of this sort can be afforded the
public during the summer months. A lack
of funds has usually been pleaded by the
commissioners and the company officials
alike at this time of year , and the same plea
will probably be raised this year.

GRAND ISLAND , April 28. ( Special. )
The advisory board of the home , consisting
of M. H. Barbee , .president , of Fullerton ,
Mrs. Lana Bates of Aurora , secretary , and
Mrs. O. A. Abbott , this city , A. N. Brown
of Hastings , and W. E. Morgan of Sco
tia , were In session Thursday and Friday.
Among the business transacted was the
fixing of wages to employes. The wages of
the laundryman were raised from $25 to
$30 per month ; that of his assistant from $8
to $10 ; cooks , J40 to $50 ; dining room assist
ants $19 to $25 ; assistant to diet cook In hos
pital $4 to $6 ; one hospital nurse was added ;
the number of farm hands was Increased
from II to 17 ; the wages of the night fire
man was raised from $10 to $25 , and the
duties of night watchman were added.
Every liimate of the home sympathizes
with Mrs. Liura Bates , secretary of the
advisory board. Mrs. Bates' daughter , a
young woman about 27 years old , died re
cently , as the result of Injuries received In
an accident. She was carrying a lamp when
the same exploded and she was terribly
burned , yet suffered for a long time.
Louis Schwartz , an Inmate of the home ,
was yesterday granted a pension of $4 per
month from 1S81 to 1890 , and $8 per month
from 1S90 to date.
Everything , at the homo Is running
smoothly.
The most serious thing at the grounds Is
the sewer. It will need a good deal of re
pairs at Its outlet , about a quarter of a mile
north of the home , to be In proper condition.
It has very little fall and has become stopped
up-
A good deal of straight Information Is
given In regard to the management of the
liome In the report which Presi
dent M. II. Barbee of the advisory board
made at the meeting of the North Western
Soldiers' Home association at Milwaukee De
cember 20 , 1894 :
Our honr ? Is at Grand Island. We have
CIO acres of land nnd eighty or ninety head
of cattle and as many hogs. We milk about
twenty cows , which furnishes all the milk
we need. The products of the farm are
used as far ns needed. The money from
what we sell Is used for the home as a Eort
of an emergency fund , to be drawn on for
repairs nnd other Incidentals , by order of
the board. About $2,000 worth has besn sold
nnd expended by them In the Inst biennial
period , In addition to what has been used Into
the home. As to organization , the gov
ernor appoints live , who nre called the visit
ing nnd examining board. The law vests
the sole control of the home In this board.
The governor appoints the commandant and
board. The board consists of three ex-
soldiers and two membjrs of the Relief
corps of the Plate , who nre either wives ,
sisters or daughters of soldiers. They have
equal power with other members ot the
board. Ths stats has appropriated some
thing like JM.OOO for buildings. We have a
large main building of three stories and
basement. The basement Is used for kitchen
and dining rooms ; second floor for adminis
trative rooms , reception and guest rooms
and wards. The third and fourth floors are
wards for soldiers and rooms for the adju
tant , his wife and matron.
We hnve eight cottages. One large cottage
Is the home of the commandant and on ? Is
used by the surgeon and his family. Six
double cottages are occupied by old soldiers
and their wives , twelve families. They do
their own cookingnnd take cara of their
own rooms , conduct their own home and
keep house Just like any one.
We do not Interlere with pensions at all.
Any member of the home who has n family
to support , outside or Inside , In fact , any
man who behaves himself , has full control
of his pension. If one gives trouble by
drinking or carousing we require him to
furnish his family with the money or put It
In the hands of the commandant. We have
no rule by which we touch one penny of the
old soldier's pension for the use of the
home. As a rule we do not admit a soldier
who has over $12 a month. We make ex
ceptions where a comrade Is pick or needs
hospital treatment or has a family to sup
port. Work on the farm Is not done by
detail. We employ citizen help. When sol
diers are employed we pay them by the
day. Inmates nre furnished with clothing.
Those getting over $ S a month buy their
own tobacco ; others are furnished nil they
need. Ample clothing- and maintenance Is
furnished to nil. Applicant for admission
must have lived two years In the state nnd
nave nn honorable discharge. The wife
must be DO years of age to be admitted.
Cost per capita Is about $148 for mainten
ance. This does not Include salary. Com
mandant gets $1,600 , house and maintenance ;
adjutant. J900 , maintenance and rooms for
his family ; matron , $ t 0 and maintenance ;
surgeon , $300 , cottage nnd maintenance.
Population , 210 on the rolls , besides otllcers
and employes. We have a nicely seated
chapel building , and ministers from the city
take turn about preaching- every Sunday
without charge.
Daniel II. Stout , an Inmate , died Thursday
at the ago of 72 years , and was burled In
the home cemetery yesterday , the funeral
held under the auspices of Ashlar
lodgu , Ancient Free and Accepted Masons

Modern Woodmen of America.
Members of Beech camp. No. 1454 , Modern
Woodmen of America , on last Friday evening
held memorial exercises In memory of their
late neighbor , John T. Williams , who died
In Toledo , O , , April 16. The exercises were
most Impressive , and a great many of the
members paid their respects to their de
ceased neighbor In a manner which showed
that all who knew htm or were In any way
associated with him held him In the highest
esteem.
Neighbor John T. Williams was active In
the formation of Beech camp , and was one
of Its charter members , and ever since the
organization of the camp has been most cn-
ergctlo In the development and success of
the organization. The neighbors will miss
the genial companionship and kind greeting
of their deceased 'neighbor at their camp
flre , and his unerring Judgment and calm
deliberation will 03 missed In the councils
and committee work of the camp. The mem
ber all attest the tact that Neighbor Wil
liams as an officer 'was , efficient and faithful
In the performance , of all duties devolving
upon ono of Its mosi bejpful workers.
There was a largenutnber of visiting neigh
bors who attended the memorial exercises
In Beech camp , and all were deeply Im
pressed , and from the manner In which all
Ihe members expressed themselves this meetIng -
Ing- may be the occasion of the matter of
memorial ceremonies being Inaugurated In
other camps , and no doubt , In the case of
active members , they TJ" ! be remembered In
a fitting manner. Secret societies and many
other societies and organizations have been
and are prone to look upon the mailer of

become better acquainted and also pre
pared to do much more effective work for
the Interests of the order In Nebraska ,

Us appearance In Ihls city bearing the above
name , which will be recognized by every one
as thai of the hero of the most remarkable
work of religious notion which has appeared
In this century. The lionio of General Lew
Wallace , tlio talented author of "Hen Hur , "
was the birthplace of this new order , which
was Incorporated In January , 1S94. The order
was organized by a large number of the most
prominent business men of Indiana , and the
Insurance plan was founded Tipon the most
approved forms of modern life Insurance.
The ritual of the order was written by Gen
eral Lew Wallace , and Is of a higher order
than those used' by other fraternal Insurance
societies. General Wallace Is a Mason of
high degree , and the ritual of Den Hur shows
the Influence of the elaborate and Instructive
higher Masonic degrees.
A court of the Tribe of Hen Hur Is In pro
cess of Institution In this city , the drat meet
ing having been held lasl Tuesday evening
In Royal Arcanum hall , 1312 Douglas street.

O second meeting was held at the same
place Friday evening and several more mem
bers admitted. A special meeting will be held

Thursday night was the regular meeting
night of the Royal Neighbors , nnd just before -
fore the meeting adjourned about 100 mem
bers of tha Modern Woodmen , with their
families , marched In upon them , taking them
wholly by surprise. After the usual com
plimentary remarks were exchanged between
the officers of the two camps refreshments
were spread and the balance of the evening
was spent In a most enjoyable manner. This
surprise was planned and executed by the
Modern Woodmen camp to pay back n similar
Intrusion made by the ladles a few months
ago. The two lodges arc growing rapidly
In this city and the Indications are that
they will continue to do to.
The grand ledge of the Ancient Order of
United Workmen will be held In the Armory
hall May 14 , and committees on reception
and entertainment are now busy making the
necessary arrangements. Past Supreme Mas
ter Workman D. H. Shields of Hannibal.
Mo. , and the present supreme master
workman , L. L. Troy of Chicago have
both promised to bo hero and deliver ad
dresses during the session ot the grand lodge.
Notes from tllu Si o ot Order * .
Owing to the chain of circumstances that
renders It absolutely necessary , the grand
ledge of the Ancient Order of United Work
men will convene this year In annual ses
sion. The approximate cost of holding a
session was expended last winter In helping
destitute members of the order In the west
ern part of the state. To cover this expense
It had been practically decided not to hold
an annual session this year , but circum
stances Imvo arisen which will necessitate
the holding of the session. Consequently on
May 14 the grand lodge will convene In
Kearney. The auditing committee of the
ledge spent last week In examining the
books and accounts of the grand lodge olll
cers nnd found everything correct.
On Thursday night Llfo Boat ledge No. 100 ,
Independent Order of Good Templars , held
Its quarterly election of olllcers , the result
being as follows : Chief templar , Roger Dick
ens ; vlco templar , Gertie Wright ; secretary ,
Marie Swanson ; assistant secretary , Roslc
Dewey ; financial secretary , Frieda Von Wcg ;
treasurer. Emclla Holder f ; marshal , Theo
dora Johnson ; deputy marshal , Bertha Hol
land ; guard , Edward Oliver ; sentinel , John
Dickens. Tha new officers will bo Installed
on next Thursday night.
On May 2 a grand public reunion of Good
Templars will be held. Arrangements are
being made to make It a memorable affair.
Invitations will bo sent to nil who arc newer
or over have been members of the order.
