BOXES FOR WASTE PAPER
Contract Drawn Up to Be Presented to the
Council Tonight ,
COUNCIL BLUFFS MAN TO GET THE JOB
W. WIlHOii 1'rolmlily the I'ernoii
Who Will He ChoHcii to Provide
the Ileceptnclon and
Look After Them.
City Attorney Wadsworth has drawn up
the contract for the establishment of waste
paper boxes on the streets as provided In
the ordinance recently passed by the city
council. The contract ns drawn up runs for
five years. It provides for the establish
ment of nt least thirty boxes or receptacles
for waste paper and other rubbish , which
are to bo located under the direction of
the mayor and chairman of the committee
on streets nnd alleys. The same city ofu-
clara are to pass upon and approve all ad
vertising matter to bo placed upon the boxes
nnd the city Is to receive 10 per cent of
the gross receipts from the advertising. It
Is understood that the contract Is to bo
awarded to J. W. Wilson of this city. The
Glenn Street company of Chicago , which
first Introduced the matter of street waste
paper boxes before the council , has written
Mayor Jennings , claiming that It has not
been given a fair deal an-1 was never allowed
the opportunity of submitting a definite
proposition. It is expected that the con
tract will come up for ratification at the
meeting of the city council tonight.
Another matter that will probably bo
brought up at the session of the council
tonight Is the unsafe condition of the bridge
over Indian creek on Bryant street. The
structure Is In n shaky condition and experts
say It is liable to fall into the creek any
moment when a heavily loaded wagon passes
over it. The lloor of the bridge is rotten
nnd has been repaired until the surface
presents the nppearance of a patchwork
quilt. Many of the timbers nro rotten and
the city , It Is said , Is liable to have a dam
age suit on its hands if the structure is
not attended to nt once. Several of the
counfiilmen nre in favor of closing the bridge
until It can bo thoroughly overhauled or
replaced with n new one. The approaches
to the bridges on North Main street have
never been finished since the structure was
repaired last summer nnd several complaints
have been filed nt the city hall regarding
their dnngerous condition. It had been
hoped by the city offcials to have this street
paved this year and for that reason , It Is
said , no attempt hna been made to put the
npproaches in shape.

FIlV I'UKACUKS0SKEPTICISM. .
Subject of a Sermon Delivered nt the
! " ! rut Mftliodlnt Church.
"Skepticism , Its Ruinous Effects , " was
the subject of Rev. C. P. Fry's sermon last
ovcnine at the Fifth Avenue Methodist
church , It being the third of a series of
sermon-lectures delivered by him Under the
nusplccs of the Eoworth league of the
church. Rev. Fry said In part :
"There have always ( been those who wore
unstable in their thinking. There has
never been a doctrine so insane as not to
have Its ( believers , who are Just as ready to
change their opinion when some equally
foolish Ism is presented. We have in this
city every sort of belief and unbelief and
each has its followers. Many ipeople are as
ready to change their creed as their gar
ments. They are never able to Elve an In
telligent reason for the hope that Is within
them. They swnllow the latest cranky
morsel that Is offered them. If an Insane
man were to come to town today and an
nounce himself as the Messiah , he would
have a herd of followers. Those who have
not thought out well the system of belief
they accept , or have no vital religious ex
perience which anchors them to the eternal
verities of God's word , are they who take
up quickly with every now charlatan that
sets up his tent in their neighborhood.
"Instability of thought and character is
the basis of much Infidelity. The unnnchored
boat drifts , the unsettled mind floats about
on every drifting tide of thought or feeling.
One of the characteristics of our youth Is
instability. Youth has n thousand charmn ,
hut one of Its Jewel virtues Is not stability
of thought. Hence young men are peculiarly
open to the temptations to drift away from
religious moorings. Their very youthful
enthusiasm tugs hard at any anchor which
would hold them securely. I do not mean
that nil youth lose their faith In the funda
mentals of Christian faith , but that ques
tions come which load the sincere young
man to dig deeply about the foundations of
fundamentals. If spared from drifting he
becomes more securely anchored in the
eternal virtues of God.
"I wish to name some of thq causes for
drifting Into skepticism nnd then to abject
infidelity. One of them Is superficial in-
vestlgntlon , which Is n fruitful cause of
skepticism. It is the little learning that
makes one mad. When one hears for the
first time of a question concerning the
truth of a long accepted doctrine the ten
dency of Immature Judgment is to decide
that that doctrine must bo false. The youth
who for the first time reads some infidel
book and who never takes tlmo to read an
nnswer to that very book , goes about declar
ing his doubts , when the truth Is ho has
never read even one small book on Chris
tian evidences. He may have read Palne's
\\KO of Reason , ' but he has never read
'Watson's Apology , ' which is a complete
answer to all Palne's sophistries , and which
has been regarded by all fair minds as a
thorough refutation of all infidel theories of
the Paine type. Many a callow youth has
heard some one Infidel lecture and , dazzled
by the rhetoric , was blinded to as not to
see the utter folly of the logic , If logic there
be at all. Many a youth's doubts have no
deeper foundation than a sarcasm or sa
crilegious witticism. There li many a youth
who , for the lack of sufficient study , or
from unfortunate association concludes
from this superficial investigation and ob
servation that the bible is untrue.
"Another cause of youthful skepticism Is
youthful self-confidence. That very element
which makes the victory In every battle al
most sure. Thin begets enthiiAlasm and to
the enthusiast almost anything is possible.
Thus youth Is victorious , not so much from
Ho skill an from Itfl abounding enthusiasm , 1
begotten of an equal self-confidence. But
this self-confidence , which is the fruitage of
egotism , leads to some fatal errors. Youth
ful pride , which necessarily must bo ac-1 1
companled with experience. Is sura to lead
to many a fatal mistake. | I I
"There le a certain class of youth who. ,
seem to think that It Is a 'badge ' of superior
intelligence to doubt the bible. They think
It Is an evidence of learning to say : 'I do
not believe. ' > Jnny n youth Is led by his
overmuch self-esteem to doubt the word of
God. Again , there are thopc among young
men who make honest inquiries. Not every
doubter Is flippant nnd captious. Many n
youth seriously seeks the truth nnd finds
himself In the mists of doubt. Ho In In the
dark , not from choice , but because he Is
honestly seeking. I have but the warmest
sympathy for the earnest young man who
Is seeking the light. It Is opening all about
him. He will not be left of God to wander
in elornal night. ( Much skepticism among
men IB due to false teaching. Young men
quickly grasp theories In a teacher's chnlr
or roving about the country can sow un
counted seeds of doubt In minds of youth.
"Another cause of skepticism la to bo
found in an evil life ; n toad heart makes n
bad head. Great criminals are to be found
among the skeptical class. They lose faith
In God nnd then turn against their fellow
men. Dumas shows the sublime knowledge
of human nature In his masterpiece * ) . In the
'Count of Monte Crlsto , ' Cadcrousse , the es
caped galley fclave , cries , Just before ho
plunges the knife against the mailed breast
of the count , 'It IB a lie ! There Is no Godl
There lo no Godl' Not all skeptics are
criminals , but wo will say that most of the
Infidelity of our times Is duo to an evil life.
Men seek to excuse their bad lives by re
jecting the truth which condemns them.
Blindly they run their heads Into the sands
and declare the sun docs not shine. He
whoso life Is condemned by God's word Is
ho who wants to believe there Is no Judg
ment seat and no final doom for the wicked.
The logic of n "bad life Is a 'bad ' creed. "
Hero Rev. Fry referred to the Into Robert
G. Ingersoll and incidents in the youth of
the great agnostic , which ho said should bo
known to the public that it might better be
able to weigh the character of the man who ,
ho said , sought to turn off all the light a
man has with which to navigate life's tem
pestuous sea ; dumping overboard diart and
compass nnd tearing away rudder and anchor
and giving him absolutely nothing In their
place except blasphemy and ridicule. Ingor-
sell , ho said , sought to turn the craft of
every human being out to a shoreless , port-
fess , tempestuous sea , with the positive as
surance that the star of hope was forever
eet.
