J. n.lie tea If. Drs. nelllnger have a case In their charge iwlilch they fear may result seriously. Blood poisoning , at least , Is feared , If not graver complications. A week or more ago Mrs. J. n. Metcilf , who lives three miles east of thu city , was bitten by a savage dog while she was vh'ltlng a neighbor's house. The brute knew her and met her at the gate as she entered the yard and turned and followed her to the house. Just as she reached the door the dog burled his teeth In the calf of the woman's leg. Heavy clothing prevented a serious laceration of the flesh , but as It was , the dog's fangs perforated the clothing and made two deep wounds. She was placed In a carriage and driven to the city. The physicians thoroughly cauterized the woundo at once and resorted to the usual precaution.- * deemed necessary In such cases. At first the wounds appeared to bo progressing favorably , but for two or three days verj un favorable symptoms have been manifested. The limb has swolcn to twice It ? normal slzo nnd blood poisoning threatened. The conduct of tlio dog gives rise to the fear that he might have been suffering from rabies. He was killed within a few hours after his attack upon the woman and before the thought occurred to those Interested that ho might be mad. The physicians arc wntcli- Inn the case very closely. The death of the dog will be balled with pleasure by a largo number of bicycle riders who go out the Crescent City road , for the dog esteemed It to be the chief object of his existence and his ono source of pleasure am : recreation to chaaa bicycle riders.

The gravest difficulty In the way of predicting the fiction of the convention Is the utter Imposs'b'llty of ascertaining Just how the "machine" is going to work. The "machine" Is not very great In numbirs , statesman ship or financial responsibility , but It has been n very potent agency In the past and mu t bo consideicd In the coming contest. Its s'lcnce ' has been sphjnx-1'ko ' If not wise , nnd If theio l any candidate who knows how It stands lie has refrained from making the fact known. Ordinarily there would be no opposition to re-election of Dr. Cleaver , nnd whllo It cannot be said that there Is any opposition , yet the five cr six gentlemen who constitute the "machine" have neither affirmed nor denied that Cleaver Is to bo the man. This silence has already cained a little chafing among the candidates , and has almost led to n determination to conduct at least ono campaign without consulting that august sanhedrim. Tli2 friends of Dr. Cleaver point to the fact that ho has given the cl'y ' as clean and fair an administration as could bo reason ably expected nnd they will recent most vigorously any attempt to drop him. The "machine" has selected City Attorney Hazel- ton for a third , term , and If It should conclude not to permit Mayor Cleaver tp have a tecond term , there will HKcly bo a scilous reaction that would weaken the ticket. This declaration wa" > practically made last even ing by a gentleman active In politics , and prominent In business circles , when ho said : "If any person can show a single thing In Mayor Cleaver's record , official or personal , that should not entitle him to the hearty support of his party , let them point it out. If ho Is dropped at this stage of the game It will bo hard to make n great many of ue balleve that there has not been treachery somewhere , and that tioacho'y will bo tternly rebuked. I believe that Cleaver has Justly earned the renomlnatlon , nnd that ho Is en titled to this recognition at the hands of the republican party of Council Bluffs. I be- llevo that ho will get It , but I want to see him got It In such a wholesaled and hearty manner that It will come to him as a com pliment and a genuine endorsement. " For treasurer there Is practically no oppo sition to the renomlnatlon of J. A. Gorhnm , and as little doubt of his re-election. The audltor'a office , now being filled temporarily by Henry Stevenson , since the resignation of George Gould , will unquestionably be filled for the next two jcars by Mr. Steven son , who will have no opposition in the con vention. Mr. Hazelton will have some oppo sition for a third term , but whether It will count for nnj thing Is a matter of consider able doubt , for ho has given the city n clean and able administration of lilu office. His opponents In the convention will be 0. D. Wheeler and S. II. Snyder. Ed Canning , the present marshal , will have no opposi tion. tion.Tho The nldermanlc fight promises to be a little moro varied. For alderman-at-large Chris Straub Is most prominently men tioned. In the Fhst ward Lew Hammer and Andrew Bell are the only names heard In discussions. In the Second ward Harvey I'aco and O. W. Graham will make a good naturcd fight In the convention , while In the Fifth ward the contest will bo between Alderman Hrowlck for re-election nnd W. A. Hlghsmtth. The democratic Kettle Is also singing a little , but very low. Only two candidates for mayor nro mentioned. Victor Jennings , who was beaten by Cleaver two years ago , will try conclusions again with the repub lican nominee if the convention will let him , but the name of William Moore has been brought out with great emphasis within the last twenty-four hours. Mr. Jennings will no doubt encounter some obstacles In tli convention , for Mr. Moore Is one of the cleanest and ablest men In the city as well as In his party. For city treasurer Benedict Hoag Is n.iircd and will enter the contest with a German following For city attorney the.-o are several candidates , but the contest seems to have narrowed down to a friendly fight between J. J. Stewart and G. A. Holmes , Doth have held the office and each made a good record , and this will make It difficult for the party to choose between them , Democratic candidates for aldermen are not numerous. Only ono man has made the public declaration that he wants It. That man Is W. II.

There was a large congregation In the Lat ter Day Saints' church laet evening to henr the parlor , Hov. T. W. Williams , deliver the first of n scries of eight Sunday evening his torical lectures on "American Church His tory. " and particularly the part taken In It by Alexander Campbell , the founder of the Christian church , and his work as a church restorer. Mr. Williams paid : "Early In the present century , there was a general revival of religion , and moot of the then organized churches , during the first thirty years , Incrc.ipjd from two to sever. fold. In August , 1S01 , 20,000 people ctimo together nt Old Cane Hldge , Bourbon county , Ky , , and creeds and church organizations were , for the time , largely forgotten. Bar ton W. Stone was foremost In the movement. Ho was a Presbyterian minister , and shortly afterward organized the Springfield presby tery. This was soon dlwolvcd , and In the month of June , 1804 , Mr. Stone organized an Undenominational church , ' taking the 'bible tilono' ns a rule of faith. It adopted the name 'Christian. ' In 1809 Thomas Campbell and son , Alexander , came from Ireland , where the father had officiated as a minister In the Seccder branch of the 1'resbyterlati chutrh. Father and son began to actively appeal for n return to primitive Christianity. In n rhort time they organized an 'Independ ent Unliin church , ' yet became meTnbers of the Baptlct association. Alexander Camp bell and family , feeling that Immersion was the true mode of baptism , were baptl/cd by a Hnptlst mlnlKtcr. Although this minister did not believe In baptism for tho- remission of fins , .Mr. Campbell afterward contended that having been baptized , It must have been for that purpose , whether the mlnlctcr or candidate EO understood It nt the tlma. Early In the 30's a correspondence spring up be tween the Campbells and Barton W. Stone In Kentucky , and their object being the same , a formal union followed , and a now distinctive church was formed. "Alexander Campbell soon became the leader , claiming to be n restorer. Ho Is su rccognlrcd now. Elder AV. T. Moore , pastor of the Christian church at Cincinnati and now editor of the Christian Commonwealth , said to him : 'But so far as huniin Instru mentality Is concerned It cannot be donleJ that Campbell was the man who conceived , organized , and made successful the present refoi motion. He , nor none of hi * colleagues , felt to assert a now dispensation of grace or lay claims to a divine call , contending rathe : that the Bible was all sufficient. As regards authority they did not , neither do they now- , believe In a 'call' such as others claim , I. e. , a divine or personal manifestation to them by God'a spirit that they should work fo > QUESTION OF AUTHORITY. "Tho question of authority troubled them nt one of their early sessions , being mei with the perplexing query , 'Who shall baptlrv us ? ' the majority not having been baptized , and none , according to what they- termed scriptural baptism baptism by Immcry'on for the remission of sins. It was a trying ordeal. 'Can an unbiptlzed person biptlze another ? ' After considerable discussion , Mr. Stone tem porarily solved the problem by asserting , 'If we have authority to preach we have au thority to baptize. ' The work then com menced , the preachers baptizing each other. Ono point that has been doomed weak In this act is that all the authority these meti had the > got from the Presbyterlqns to repre sent the Picsbyterlan church , and when they renounced Presbyterlonlsm their authority , was revolted ; In fact IK was no good , for , if as they claimed , Presbyterlanlsm was wrong , the authority conferred was worth nothing , consequently they could not farther preacli unless properly delegated by God , but they have replied to this asserting that the com mission given by Christ , 'Go je Into all the world and preach the gospel to every creix ture. ' while only spoken to the apostles. In cluded men In every age and upon that com mission they act. With this your speaker differs. The question of their authority 1 % yet strongly controverted , and often brings them into discussion. As to church organi zation they have no form of general church polity. Each separate congregation Is com plete In Itself , and virtually Independent of every other church. Their oftlcero are evangelists , elders and deacons. They discard all other officers , asserting that God never Intended these offices to b ° perpetuated. Thu wise man baa said , 'What God doeth He doeth It forever ; ' so many of us kindly differ here , believing that whatever officers God placed in the church he intended them to ifi- maln. The ministers of the 'Christian' church are not 'called , ' but are formally set apart by the laying on of hands. They do not claim that this act glves them any greater divine recognition or supernatural power , but Is a recognition of their worth by the body and consequently acceptable to God. "They deny apostolic or church succession , contending that the only succession possi ble Is a band of believers , seeking to fol low the bible ; that though a lapse of a thousand years without succession or bible btllevers , yet should any of them believe In the bible It would be true succession. They accept the bible as the word of God , and teach that the church was not organ ized until Pentecost. Wo differ here , anJ believe that ( Cbrlst commenced to build his church while In the flesh , and , as the apostle said , 'And God hath set In the church first apostles , ' etc. That when the apostles wcio chosen they were placed in the church. GOING BACK ON IMMERSION. "Their distinctive doctrine Is immersion for the remission of sins. While claiming tlat bantUm Is for the remission of sins. they receive as members into tno cnurcti those who may have been baptized In any organization , whether It has been for the remission of sins or not. Of late some Inrovations have occurrel In localities where members have been sprinkled are accepted into membership , A whole church In Cleve land has accepted this and Q. W. Elliot , the state evangelist for South Dakota , re cently at Pocahontas , la. , accepted as mem bers Into the church those who had bein sprinkled without Immersing them. It re mains for the future to determine whether it shall become general or not. It would bo humiliating to them , after an advocacy of Immersion alone for sixty years to de tract and accept sprinkling. At an early day Campbell and Stone permitted sprin kling , but finally rejected U. They deny all spirit baptism as understood by other churches today. Repudiating1 'experiencing religion , ' they contend that all the spirit a man gets Is through the word , there being no other manifestation. Any claim to supernatural manifestation Is held as a vagary. They urge that the manifestations of the spirit was given to establish Chris tianity and then ccaced , that all the spirit wo got today Is through reading the word of God. This the majority of the Christian world believes to be assumptive , with no scriptural confirmation. They reject Infant baptlrm , If church union Is brought about , Including this church , arid taking the bible 03 the standard and pattern , the 'Christian' church will triumph In several respects , but some things It must eventually give up or moimy , anu as me various divisions are largely due to man's mlrappllcatlon of bible truth , they must yield some with the rest. In lecognlzlng Christ as the head , they must realize that this leadership only con sists In the influence' ho has over those ho leads , and , being the head , he mutt direct the affairs of his body , particularly in the selection of his representative ? , call ing them by his spirit as he did his min istry In bible times , thus legitimately hon- o'lng their appointment. The record that men were called anciently Is not sufficient unless Go'd repeats that call to us. MUST HAVE A HEAD SOMEWHERE. "A house divided against Itself cannot stand and there being no general head each distinctive congregation 1ms supreme rights in scriptural Interpretation. This pcrm'ts of schisms with no earthly tribunal to decide , as witnessed in the church at Cleveland tak ing the 'bible and b'ble alone' and deciding In favor of sprinkling , while others take the bible alone and decide In favor of Immersion. If God docs not direct and there la no earthly tribunal how can a decision be reached ? As there was In Christ's time a general con federation , officered and controlled by men of divine appo ntment. so It should be today. "They will eventually concede that baptism U of no significance unless performed In floil's prescribed way and administered by one of divine appointment. That the spirit's operation being all et-anital In early Chris tianity , If enjoyed today , would serve as a divine leaven to ferment divided Christianity , If it will accept and thus solidify and leaven tlio viliolo lump. Hcallzofi the extremes to which some have gone In claiming cplrlt operation has possibly I'd our Christ an breth ren to go to the other extreme and discard It altogether. There shoujd , be n. happy mean between these two oxtranics. May wo all seek and find it. While noting these things which It poems will eventually have to be corrected , yet there I ? much In the Christian church which meets my commenda tion and support.

Whllo nothing will be done that can be construed Into the endorsement of any Pet of candidates or the nominees of any party at the coming municipal elections , an ef fort Is being made to unite the church people of the cities of the state In on effort to get better mm for municipal offices. This object Is being sought through the organization of a Chrlctlan citizenship com mittee In each town nnd olty where there Is n Young People's Society of Christian En deavor or any elmllar organization of young people In the church woik. The depart ment of Christian citizenship was formed by the Christian Endeavor society of the state some time ago , and the department placed In charge of Clarence II. Judson of this city. Mr. Judson has been devoting as much of his time as possible to this work , nnd Is in correspondence with the- officers of the different Endeavor societies of the ftato with the view of uniting them In a movement for better government In the local elections that will be held throughout the state next month. When Mr. Judson sent out his first letters n few days aga he created something of a Ecnsatlon In the ranks of ths aspirants for political preferment. He has been besieged by candidates from all parties and asked whom he proposed to endorse in the com ing city campaign. His answers have b en uniformly the same. He says It Is not the plan nor the purpose of the Christian citizen ship committee to endorse tny candidate or set of candidates The object of the otganlzatlon Is to encourage Chrlt < thn citi zens to take a part In the primaries of the different parties , and to endeavor to sscuro the nomination of good men. No effort Is made to Induce any man to change his polltlcsi unless his party nominate a candl- dat ? who is obnoxious to the Christian c'tlzen , nnd In that can * the citizen Is asked to lay aside his partisanship and support the best man for the office re ardleis of po litical affiliations. Mr. Jud on has prepared a letter for the Endeavor societies of the state , In which he sets forth the objects of the now department Of young people's work In the church and public affairs. He makes It plain that the Christian citizenship Isi not an effort to force young people's societies into politics nor to engage the church , as an organization , In political work , but Is simply the application of the teachings of Jesus Unrin to public affairs ; the Christian people standing unitedly against evil In public places. Following are same of the objects and plans' of the com mittee as explained by Mr. Judson : "It believes It to be the duty of every Christian voter : 1. 1To go tditho primaries and to cppoE-a the nomlnatlon'fof corrupt men. 2. To go to the polls and'to oppose the election of corrupt nominees. 3. To ueo every Influence to purify the ballot and the franchise. "It It' the apathy and carelE jn'era of good citizens that has let EX ) many corrupt poll- 'tlclans Into office and that1 has -wasted our national life , and Christian citizenship calls upon every Christian to shake off this sleep of Indlflerence nnd rousa to the work of rlghtecusness c "Study the situation In yonr owli neighbor hood as regards the Sunday question , ncn- enforcement of law , the Illegal ! felling of liquor , etc. See that a full attendance of Christian voters Is sacured at primaries and caucuses.

Jho trouble took place at Spoon lake Sat urday evening , and was brought on by the fact tnat Johnson and a lady friend had the temerity to venture out on the lake , which had been pre-empted by the Bethara slsttrs as ! a skating park. Mr. Johnson and his friend were enjoying thcmMlveo skating , when the Bothers girls began abusing the young woman and calling her vile names. Mi. Johnson remonstrated with the girls and rn- deavored to Induce them to attend to their own nffulry , but without success. Tie ab'i"3 v.ss Increased in proportion to the strength of his remonstrance. Mr. Johnson finally de cided to keep cut of the way at his nnnoycrs , and , vvlt'.i ' his frlendp , sought another part of thelake. . He was followed by the Bethers pair , who were bent on forcing tbelr claims to a monopoly of the ska'Ing. The filrla had somewhat original ideas cf how a skating park should be conducted cul they insisted upon keeping the uninvited guests off , even If they had to fight lor It. They watched their opportunity , and one of the girls , Amanda , caught Mr. Joniu-ou a short dls'anco from his companloi and as saulted blm.

SOME COUNTIES WILL LOSE BYHE DEAL nn of tlio CoiiMltlitloti Helut- lo Till * Arc IHIIIetiH to Comply tilth In liver } Dolnll. DES MOINES , Feb. 9. ( Special. ) One of the Important duties that will devolve upon the legislature lo the rcdlstrlctlng of the state Into senatorial and representative dis tricts , according to the recent censua The constitution requires that a ratio shall be established which will allow each district one member of the lower house for a population equal to the ratio or a fraction over one-half , limits the nuinbsr to 100 , and prohibits the division of n county. To fully observe these provisions of the constitution Is often a most perplexing problem and In a few Instances In the pist , there Is a question whether the courts would have sustained the action of the legislature had the issue been ralscJ. The house com mittee , uhlcli has this matter In Charge , has been quietly at work for some days en deavoring to fix the proper ratio. The last time the state was rcdlstrlctcJ the ratio wap fixed at 22.-IOO , and the growth In population will compel nn Increase of something like 4.000. SOME OP THE NEW LINES. In the new adjustment Polk county , with Its 72,000 population , would be entitled to three members , were It not for thu limita tion by the constitution to two members. Whatever ratio may finally bo established the committee fcsls reasonably certain that tovcral changes will have to be made. Monotm county , which Is now joined with Ida , with over 10,000 population , will bs entitle , ! to n representative. Wright , now united with Hancock , will also get a member , nnil Hancock , Joined cither with Humboldt , on the south , or Wlnnebago , on the north. Pocahontas , now jqlncd with Humboldt , hav ing 12,112 population , will probably get n member , and Lyon , now In the same district with Sioux county , will likely be put with Osceola , which will leave Dickinson and Emmet alone In one district. This will leave four counties , ClarKe ( population 11,515) ) , Ida (11,423) ( ) , Humboldt (11,421) ( ) , and Clay (11,277) ( ) , neither of which will have n population equal to one-half the ratio nnd so far Iso lated from each other that no two of them can bz Joined. Omitting these counties , ninety-nine members have been provided [ or , ami a strong ciiori win as maae 10 give the additional representative to some of the counties In the northwestern part of tht state and take away the representation from Clarke , whose population Is nearly stationary and which would lose It In the course of time at any rate. SOME NEW BILLS. Senator Junkln has Introduced the follow ing Important bills : Providing that in nil cayes for damages resulting from Injuries attributable to the negligence of defendant In such action , the burden of establishing contributory negligence of such Injured per son shall be upon said defendant , which re verses the present rule of law on this point ; In any action against any telegraph company for damages , caused by erroneous trans mission of a telegram or by unreasonable de lay In delivery , negligence on the part ol said telegraph company , shall be presumed upon proof cf erroneous transmission or delay In delivery , and the burden of proof that such fault was not duo to negligence shall rest upon tha company. Senator Junkln has likewise Introduced a bill providing tint the contributory negligence of husband or wife in sulti brought against persons or corporations for damages to plaintiff In such action resulting In Injuries to wife , husband or minor child of plaintiff , shall not constitute a defcnra of such action. AS TO THE MULCT LAW. Senator Caret has Introduced a bill to repeal the C5 per cent clause In the mulct law and substitute ths words "A majority , " thereby authorizing the establishing of ealocns , by a petition bearing the signatures of one-half of the legal voters of any county. The senate committee on Insurance has recommended : for passage the Blanchard bill , prohibiting boards of rating and other combinations ) between Insurance companies. Senator Phelps has Intrcduccd a bill to adopt the Meyers' voting machine , now In use In New York elections. The senate had under discussion Friday a bill by Harper , reducing the time common carriers are required to hold unclaimed goods from s'x to three months. Senator Trcwln objected to the words , Including "charge * for car service , " which are not la the original statute. Senator Harper clalmel that such charges are now collected , and the passage of such a law would make no differ ence with the present method of doing bus iness. On final roll call the bill was lost , re ceiving one vote less than a constitutional majority. The "age of conpsnt" bill bos been made a special order for next Wednesday. REGULATING THE MUTUALS. The house took up nnd passer the- Allen bill providing for the government and regula tion cf mutual beneficiary associations. This Is the bill prepared by the recent fraternal congress , to exempt such association from the provisions of the Insurance laws. Only two ellr'nt amendments were made to the bill. In section 2 and second line , the word "in surance" was Inserted , which then read that "no Insurance law hereafter passed shall ap ply to them , unless such associations are specially named therein. " In section 10 , line 3 , the "words "by trustee garnlshee" were stricken out. The r-enate Is preparing to make some material amendments vvhon the bill reaches that body. Among the bills Introduced In the tiouse Saturday was one by Funk to regulate buildIng - Ing and loan associations , and by Ray , ex tending the time proof of loss Is required to bci furnished Insurance companies from sixty days to rlx months. Mr. Hauger also presented a bill fcr the taxation of negotiable paper. The lioiue aso ] passed a bill authorizing townships to levy a 2 mill tax for a public hall. IN THE SENATE.

The senate passed a joint resolution , which , If agreed to by tlici house , will shut off the Introduction of all new bills , except appropriations , artcr February 29. T ie senate committee on ways and means favor the Funk bill , taxing express companies 1 per cent on gross earnings , and will so report.

Many mfch pride themselves on their acutcncs ? In never being humbugged , especially on medicines. This fear of bclne humbucced may bo car ried too far ; DO far , In fact , that many portions tions suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk a 1 ttlo time and money In faithfully tcBtlng the claims of a prepara tion so reliable and universally used is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different In ono important respect from ordi nary proprietary medicines' , for the reason that they are not a secret patent medicine ; no secret Is made of the r Ingredients , but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments , pure aseptic pepsin , the digestive acldt > , Golden Seal , bismuth , hy- drastls and nux. They are not cathartic , neither do they act powerfully on any organ , but they cure Indigestion on the common eineo plan of digesting the food eaten promptly , thoroughly before It Ima time to ferment , sour and cause the mischief. This Is the only secret of their success. Cartliartlc pills never have and never can cure Indigestion and stomach troubles , bo- caura they act entirely upon the bowels , whereas the whole trouble la really In the stomach. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets , taken after meals , digest the food. That la all there late to U. Food not digested or half digested Is poison , as It creates gap , acidity , head- aclie.
