Sncretl Concert.
ftlricenient of a'cacred concert
yesterday at the Congregational ch'urch by
the mualcal faculty of Tabor college and
Harmony quartet of Omaha brought out in
nplto of the disagreeable weather a con-
nresatlon that filled every .available scat.
A noticeable 'feature waa the presence of a
Euodly number of the local musical talent.
The only change In the program was the
omlsMcn .of 'clement B. Shaw's solos on
account of a severe cold from which ho
waa suffering. In place of these Eolos Miss
Ellsworth sang in excellent manner "My
ncdcemer aud Jly Lord , " by Dudley Buck ;
the Harmony quartet gave Dudley Buck's
"Hock of Ages. " Miss Grace Cronkhito
jilnycd three numbers , the most pleasing
' " . " Miss
of which was Gullmant's "Prayer.
Lena Ellsworth it ) unusually talented , pos-
Betslng not only a contralto voice of splen
did quality but marked ability as a vie
( ID linist. The work of the Harmony quartet
was excellent , especially the rendering of
Sullivan's magnificent "Tho Lost Chord. "
Mr. Young of Omaha acted as accompanist.
Bov. John W. Wilson made two addresses

to which the matter waa referred by the
Omaha union. 'By the terms of the settlement

the union plumbers and the bosses as to

perfectly willing topay the union scale for
unionhours. . The ettlement will come be
fore the next meeting of the Trades and
Labor assembly for ratification. The brick-

the organization of a union and the llrst
notion taken by them Is to notify the con
tractors that they will demand nn Increase
of wages after the tlrst of the new year ,

The practical completion' of the Fort

plished nnd yesterday 0. K. Grafton , en
gineer In charge of construction , notified ( " ! .
K. Dlxon , superintendent of the Cherokee
dlvlnlon , that the road \rns now at his dis
posal. In this way the new road was turned
over yesterday from the engineering to the
operating department nnd it Is expected that
Superintendent IJIxon will commence the
running of a local service between here and
Port Dodge almost Immediately , probably
not later thnn next Friday. '
Knglneor Grafton , whoso energy resulted
In the new line being built In lera thnn nine
months , will continue fol1 some time yet
to have charge of the engineering work on
the road.
The new line consists of 131 miles of as
good track as has ever been laid In Iowa.
The rails arc 85-pound steel throughout laid
on oak tics. In addition to the main Una
sidetracks aggregating thirty-six miles have
been laid.
In talking of the completion of the road
yesterday Mr. Grafton paid a high tribute to
the force o men who have worked under
him and the fact that the line had been
completed In the time that it has been ho
said was duo to their energy and faithful
attention tt > work. In addition to about sev
enty encineers and Inspectors Mr. Grafton
has been assisted by four division engineers.
They are E. K. Blanc-hard , In charge of
first division ; William McCoy , In charge of
second division ; A. K. .Harvey , in charge
of third division , and D. D. Scott , in charge
of the fourth division , having for Its ter
minus Council Bluffs.
A. T. Ballev , ns chief material clerk , and
T. R. Cummins , chief draughtsman , have ,
Mr. Grafton said , been of the greatest as
sistance to him during the building of the
line. In fact , as Engineer Grafton puts It ,
ho was most fortunate In having to work
with him as capable and faithful corps of
engineers and assistants as could bo gath
ered together anywhere.
The road has been the means of furnish
ing a vast amount of employment during
the past year and at times as many as
3,000 , men and 1,200 teams were at work.

; ROAD TO BE SOLD TUESDAY
Sioux City A Northern to HP ICnocked
IJovrn Under ( he Ilitniinrr
Thin AVcek.
! SIOUX CITY , Dec. 10. ( Special. ) Under
an order of the Judge of the United States
court In the Northern district ot Iowa ,
I western division , all the property of the
Sioux City & Northern Railway company
under foreclosure proceedings will be sold
Tuesday morning at 12 o'clock by Howard
S. Baker , who has been appointed special
master-ln-chancery to conduct the sale. This
Is the second railway to be sold In this
manner in Sioux City this year , and from
all indications it will be the last one. The
other line sold was the Sioux City , O'Neill
& Western , running from Sioux City to
O'Neill , Neb. , which property waa bid in
by J. Kennedy Ted & Co. of New York ,
who held the mortgage bonds. It is now un
der the control of the Great Northern and
Is known as the Sioux City < fe Western.
The Sioux City & Northern is a line run
ning from Sioux City northward to Garret-
son , S. D. , and there connecting with the
Great Northern system. At the present time
it is under the management of two receiv
ers. Judge Warwick- Hough of"St. Louis ,
representing the eastern stockholders , and
S. J. Deals of Sioux City , representing J. J.
Hill , who owns a large block of the stock.
The road Is to be sold to satisfy a mortgage
held by the Manhattan Trust company ,
trustee , < fln the sum of $1,920,000 and Inter
est fromnS93. There Is little question In the
minds of the business people of Sioux City
that the road will pass Into the hands of
J. J. Hill , president of the Great Northern ,
and that It will henceforth be operated In
connection with the Sioux City & Western
as a part of the Great Northern system.
This is ono of the lines of road built by
what was called "Tho Syndicate , " composed
all of Sioux City men James E. Booge , Ed
Haaklnson , D. T. Hedges , A. S. Garrctson
and John Hornlck. All of these men since
lost their money In the huge deals they were
trying to pull through.
They borrowed the necessary money to
build the road In 18S9 and it was all placed
to the credit of John Hornlck with the Union
Loan and Trust company as trustee. The
road was built and since that tlmo been
In constant operation. However , It failed
to pay Itn Interest on its bonded indebtedness
and in 1S93 the Manhattan Trust company
filed an action in foreclosure. Then came
up the question of the appointment of a
receiver. Two different factions were In
terested and the court finally compromised
the question by appointing two men to take
charge pf the affairs of the property.
This receivership is about to De termin
ated. It was at the same time , however ,
that the Credits Commutation company , suc
cessor to the defunct Union Loan and Trust
company fet up a claim that A , S. Garret
son had hypothecated certain stock of the I
Sioux City & Northern and bonds of the
Sioux City & Western from the vaults of
the trust company and had disposed of them
to J. Kennedy Ted & Co. and a long line
of litigation followed. The cases went to the
United States supreme court , which tribunal
finally held the stock and bonds belonging
to tbo Tods , thus defeating the claims of
the Sioux City corporation. So as It now
stands the Tods os-n the Sioux City &
Western and the bulk oT tiio claims against
the Sioux City & Northern and it is possible
they may yet get the latter road also.
But tbo fact remains that the Sioux City
& Northern IK a flue piece of railway prop
erty. It has paid very well slnco It went
Into the hands of the receivers ; mien who
knew how to manage the business and make
money. It has paid off a great deal of Its
back interest and tbo property Is In splen
did condltiou. The road runs through a
very good territory and all along has had
really more business than It could conven
iently attend to. H stands as ono of the
monuments to the stupendous energy of the
five Sioux City men , who stand now almost
penniless , but who started out In the "boom
days" of Sioux City to either make or break
la the attempt to build railways. They
built two , but went broke on the deals.
This IB the last remnant of their property
to ba sold.

Howen , Waukcn , la. Dear Sir 1 am
prompted to write you on a subject ot
great Interest to both of us at the present
Juncture. I realize that the subject of
paramount Importance at the beginning
of the session of the general assembly Is
the re-election of Senator Gear to the
1'nlted States senate , thereby retaining to
the state and nation his valuable services
and ripe experience. This outcome 1 deem
assured In any event. In view of the pro
nounced majority for him In the senate ;
yet It has been apparent for some weeks
that the friends of Senator Gear's esteemed
competitor have concentrated their forces
upon the matter of the organization of the
notice , upon your friend and neighbor , Mr.
Eaton of Mitchell. We cannot overesti
mate tbe Importance of such organization
under existing circumstances. It has
teemed to me. that these conditions make
It absolutely Imperative that the friends
of Senator Gear should likewise bo per
mitted to concentrate their efforts and
energy In the same direction , as It Is ap
parent the organization must be made upon
senatorial lines.
I huve had but little leisure and oppor
tunity to canvass the conditions existing
nmone our friends and am not able at
the present time to nay what our relative
strength may bo , but I feel that the tlmo
for action has come , and beg your par
don for taking the Initiative. From the
little Information that I have been able
fnhfn' ' " . 1 feel ' onvlnced that your can
didacy is , In a broad sense , a safe and
uiMi'hole one. f , taerefore , ueg to infurin
you that I , In order to bring about the end
suggested n.s desirable , cheerfully with
draw from the contest and ask my friends
wherever they may be found to glvo their
hearty and earnest support to yourself.
I beg to assure you , my friend , that none
excel me In the earnestness and loyalty of
the support given you. Yours respectfully ,

THE ULSTER Il
An Uiirinlnir < l nt I.cd ( o tlie Slnunliter
of Half a Million Jrli.Ii.
> In his study of Oliver Cromwell , John
Morley , writing in the December Century ,
characterizes ho Ulster Rebellion as "tho
most barbarous and inhuman chapter that
stains the domestic history of the kingdom. "
( After many weeks of strange stillness , In
nn Instant 'the ' storm burst. The Irish in
Ulster suddenly ( October 23 , 1641) ) fell upon
the English cdlonlsts , the inraders of their
lands. The fury soc-ri spread and Iho
country was enveloped in the flames ot a
conflagration fed by concentrated sense of
ancient wrong and all the savage 'passions ' ot
an oppressed people suddenly broken loose
upon Its oppressors. Agrarian wrong , re
ligious wrong , Insolence 'ot race , now
brought forth their poisonous fruit. A
thousand murderous atrocities were perpe
trated on ona side , and they were avenged
by atrocities as hideous on the other. Every
tale of horror In the Insurseuts can be
matched by horror as diabolical in the
soldiery. What happened in 1641 was in gen
eral features very like what happened In
179S , for the same things come to pass in
every conflict where ferocious hatred In a
persecuted caste meets ithe ferocious prldo
nnd contempt of Its presercutors. The main
points are reasonably plain. There Is no
question by whom the sanguinary work was
first begun. There. . Is little question that It
was noi part of a premeditated and organ
ized design ot indiscriminate massacre , but
was inevitably attendant upon a violent ris
ing against foreign despollers. There is no
question that though In the beginning agra
rian or 'territorial ' , tbe rising soon drew
after It a fierce struggle bctweeni the two
rival Christian factions. There is little
question that , after the first shock , Parsons
and his allies in authority acted on the- cyn
ical anticipation that the worse the rebel
lion , the richer would be the forfeitures.
There is no question that the enormity of
crime was the subject of exaggeration ,
partly natural and Inevitable , partly in
cendiary and deliberate. Nor Is there any
question that , even without exaggeration , It
Is the most barbarous nnd Inhuman chapter
that stains the domestic history of the
kingdom. The total number of Protestants
slain In cold blood at the outbreak of the
rebellion has been fixed at various figures
from 4,000 to 40,000 , and the latest serious
estimate puts it at 2. > 000 during the first
three or four years. The victims of the re
taliatory slaughter by Protestants upon
Catholics were countless , but Sir William
Petty thinks that more than 500,000 perished
between 1611 and 16,12.
The fated International antipathy between
English and Irish , that like n volesno is
sometimes active , sometimes smoldering and
sullen , now burst forth In liquid fire. The
news threw England Into frenzy. It has
been compared to the fury with which the
American colonists regarded tbe use of It oil
Indians by the government of King George.
It was like the rage nnd horror that swept
over the countv In a r'oflient when the
tidings of Cawnpore arrived , nnd I nccil not
describe It. The air was thick , n.s Is the
way In revolutions , with frantic nnd Irra
tional suspicion. The catastrophe In Ire
land fitted In with governing moods of
the hour , and wo know only too well how-
simple nnd summary nro the syllogisms of
a rcotort < llstru t. Ireland was papist nnd
this was a papist rising. The queen was a
papist , Bitrrounded nt Somerset House by
[ ho same black brood as these priest * nf
Banl who on tbo other side ot St. George's
channel were described as standing by white
their barbarous ( lock slew old men ami
women wholesale and In cold blood , dnnlu.1
out the brains of Infants , against the walls
In sight ot their wretched parents , ran their
skeans like lied Indians Into tlu > flesh of
little children , ami flung helpless Protes
tants by scores nt a time over the bridge nt
I'ortndown. Such was the reasoning and
the damning conclusion was clear. This
was the queen's rebellion and the king
must be her accomplice. Sir Phellm O'Nell ,
the first leader ot the Ulster rebellion , de
clared that ho held a commission from the
king himself , and the story took quick root.
It Is now manifestthat Charles was at least
as much dismayed ns any ot his subjects ;
yet for the rest of his lite ho could not wipe
out that fatal theory of his guilt.
War Ilollr Kuotori.
The Philadelphia Record tells about a
relic factory hidden away In a clump of
trees near Gettysburg. The value ot this
year's production will be about $20.000. nnd
It consists of "old bullets , old cannon bills ,
soldier buttons , buckles , swords , plecta ot
bono and sabretnschcs , all. of course , ot a
very ancient and worn appearance. Thtso
are the cheaper products. There are. be
sides , in the finer and more costly lines ,
testaments bored through by bullets , love
letters burned by powder and stained dark
with blood , skulls with leaden balls lodged
In the eye sockets or Jaws , nnd the full uni
forms , properly punctured and bloodstained ,
of all the officers slain upon the battlefield.
The factory makes nothing In advance , thus
avoiding overstocking. It only runs on or
ders , and by night the customers call for
their goods. They are Innkeepers , the gro
cers , the saloon kcepeis , bakers and real es
tate men of the town , and v/honever It Is
moonlight they may bo seen distributing
the rare relics cautiously and Jutllclouly
over the field. Visitors there now are nioro
numerous than they used to be. It is no
longer usual to poke about all day without
unearthing so much as a single bullet anil
tourists appreciate this change. "

i Here is what Mrs. T. H. Williamson. 717
I South 17th street , says : "My little boy had
i a severe attack of whooping cough some
| tlmo rgo , nnd after recovering from this
i disease I found that his kidneys were weak
I for he could not retain1 his urine nnd bed-
wetting occurred nightly. I gave him kid
ney remedies of different kinds , but I did
not notice any change In his condition until
I gave him Morrow's KId-no-olds. I discov
ered n decided change In his condition in
a few days , nnd he is almost relieved en
