Side of the Citv .Noted.
DANIELS CONTINUES TO LIE
Sticking Religiously to His Text, Although
. No One Believes Him. for Ho Runs
Counter to All tho Testimony in
. .. the Case News of tho Pay.
Charles Kvader Daniels Is still at It.
Having unfortunately stiit-teil out by
telling: falsehoods he Is forced to con
duct his ense with a reckless disre
gard for the truth that must be very
gratifying- to the father of lies.
When Mr. Daniels denied that he
told The Tribune representative that
he wanted something for his own paper
when asked for the resolutions, he knew
that he told an untruth, Just as well
as the writer and u reputable resident
of Bellevue, who heard him make th?
remark, do. As to the fairy tale about
having left the document in the drug
store it Is one of the boldest asser
tions that could possibly have been
made.
Mr. Daniels strikes out in his chosen
field of falsehood with a dash and
vigor, which shows that he has a gen
ius for that sort of romancing. It Is
a bit of good, cold nerve and bluff that
i3 admirable in its way. But it won't
do. At least five persons can testify
1liat Mr. Daniels did not leave tho
resolutions in the place he says he did.
This' case has been thoroughly and Im
partially investigated with a view to
ascertaining the exact facts. We were
at first loath to believe that Mr. Dunlels
would wilfully pervert the truth, but
our Inquiries only proved beyond doubt
or cavil that he not only lied in the
beginning to cover up an act of selfish
ness, but has persisted In falsifying
in order to make himself appear clean
handed before the public'
With such a person 'The Tribune
representative has no desire to have
, further .dealings and be dismisses the
erstwhile "star of hope" of this part of
the city to the Ignoble obscurity he
merits, with the parting Injunction to
mend his ways. The world was not
made simply to minister to his wants.
Tiiere are others ho have equally as
good a right to live, as he will realize
when the expansion of hla cranium is
a. thing of the past.

Kev. I'. .1. Gouph's brilliant and Com
prehensive Discourse.
REVIEW OP -SAINT'S LIFE WORK
Went Among tho People Preaching When
l uropo Was Plunged in Barbarity.
Vnlek Kesponso tu His Teachings.
Chnraeteristiosof the Irish.
Appropriate to the day was the ser
mon delivered at the lute, mass in St.
Peter's cathedral yesterday. Rev J. H.
McIIugh, of the cathedral, was the cele
brant of the holy sacrifice and Rev. P.
J. Gough pleached an eloquent and Im
pressive discourse on the life and works
of Ireland's patron saint, St. Patrick.
The memory of this holy mini Is cher
ished not only among the Irish ns the
founder of their fuith, but In the calen
dar of saints In the Catholic church, his
works und teachings are held sacred
and shine with luster and devotion.
Father Uough referred to the wide
Influence- and great power for good
wielded by St. Patrick ami his disciples
In Ireland at u period in the history of
the world when all Europe was steeped
In barbarism and the continent was
disturbed by burbarous upheavals and
Invasions.
In this turbulent condition of affairs
St. Patrick went among the barbarians
and by his teachings and the Bpread of
the Gospel the light of Christianity
dawned and the era of enlightenment
began. History records how victorious
St. Patrick and his disciples were In
dispelling the dense clouds of barbarity
that overshadowed the Eastern hemi
sphere. His disciples went from one
province to another through the coun
tries of Eurone and by them the Inllu
once and teachings of the saint were ex
tended. Devotion to Their 1 altli.
The speaker referred to the stability
of the faith of tho people in the true
church; notwithstanding the persecu
tion of the pagans nothing could shake
them In the fulth received In the teach
ings and enuncluted in the true doc
trines expounded by St. Patrick. Fath
er Gough narrated instances of the
almost hist parable associations be
tween the history of tho Irish people
und their religion. Their sufferings
and persecutions ut the hands of idola
trous powers can be traced to their
strong love of religion. The devotion
of the Irish people to their heroes was
described, how the Irish utmost vene
rated the men whose bravery in battle
In defense of religion and country is
brilliantly portrayed on history's pages.
Father Gough unfolded with thrilling
word pictures the sickening famine
scenes among the Irish peasantry dur
ing the dark clays of desolation in the
year 1S47. Thousands were dying of
hunger and thirst, famishing hourly by
the wayside, but In the midst of this
time of terrible and excruciating suf
fering, the faith and the religion im
planted by St. Patrick were strong and
did not forsake the Irish.
I.ove of Their Nutivc Lund.
The speaker spoke of the reverend
love of the Irish for their native land.
No other nation of the world can boast
of the patriotic love of the Celts for
their home and kindred. This is shown
in the manner in 'which they turn
toward that green spot In the western
ocean no matter In what clime they
build their home.
In summing up his very brilliant ser
mon on St. (Patrick, Father Gough
referred to the benefit derived to Chris
tianity from the scattering of the Irish
race to ull countries of the earth.

MAKING Ul LOST TIME.
It Is a Difficult ) eat for Railroad Engl-
glncers.
From Power.
In regard to the dllllculty of making
up lost time on railways, a writer In a
foreign pnper says: Thus, to tuke a
case, ten-miles to be'run nt sixty miles
an hour, average line, suppose the en
gineer Is a couple of minutes lute when
he comes to this length of ten miles,
which he generally runs In ten minutes.
It he run it at sixty-live 'miles an hour,
he Is then only making up one minute In
every thirteen miles, and if he runs at
seventy miles an hour, he make up one
minute in every seven miles. He In
probably timed to make it necessary to
do the ten miles about us fast as he can
every day. so that trying to gain even
a couple of minutes In this length Is out
of the question. .
Again; If he relaxes the speed ten
miles, say, to fifty, he Is losing time at
the rate of one minute In every live
miles. Thus,, from a speed of sixty an
Increase- of ten miles only gains one
minute In every Beven miles, but a de
crease of ten miles loses one minute In
every Ave nllles,

WORKING FOR THE BIG BEEPIT
Committees Are Now Lticrgeticallv in-
gaged Preparing for tha Lvent Thut
Will Turn Many Dollars Into tho
New Armory 1'und-Uossip.
The order for spring Inspections hav
ing been published, now company com
manders can regulnte the weekly drill
lesson bo that umple attention will be
pnld to the different sections of tactics
and manual of guard duty. The dates
set for Inspection are much later than
heretofore. We are given two months
in which to prepare. Regimental or
ders regarding election In Company H
and the spring Inspections were pub
lished In Saturday's Tribune. The wis
dom of selecting dates In May Is ap
parent in the fact that a colonel, a lieu
tenant colonel, a mayor, and at least
three captains must be selected before
Inspection. '
The all-absorbing topic Just now Is
the new armory benefit und election of
ollicers. ' The new urmory benefit is re
ceiving Its share of thu attention of
those interested. The committees ure
nearly completed, tickets are being
printed for the advance sale, most of
the cast is complete und everybody is
at work.
A meeting; of the executive commit
tee will tuke place In the armory to
night. Tomorrow night at 7.30 the first
rehearsal will be called. The olllce of
C. L. Rice, room 4 Coal Exchange,
Is placed at the disposal of the young
people for this, a reading rehearsal.

E. P. Ham, D. W. Seism, E. F. Kings
bury, Captain Chase, Cuptuln Barnard,
M. J. Coyne, II. C. Dean, Miss Edith
Norton, Miss Bertha Powell, and other
equally well-known people of this city.
Bauer's orchestra will be engaged to

The election for captain of Company
II will bo held March 2S. For this posi
tion the only name mentioned Is that
of First Lieutenant Corwln. His elec
tion will no doubt be made unanimous.
Second Lieutenant Benjamin, It Is paid,
prefers to remain where he Is, so that,
In all probability. Sergeant Huff will
succeed Lieutenant Corwln.
For colonel no other name is- men
tioned but that of Lieutenant Colonel
Coursen. Bis successor will be elected
by the line ollicers, but when no one
knows. The order will likely be pub
lished in n short time, culling an elec
tion. Major Mattes Is In line of promo
tion to lieutenant colonel, and It Is
not believed that Captain Barnard will
oppose Mattes In the election, as they
are good friends, and Captain Barnard
aspires to be major. It Is also true that
should Captain Barnard oppose Major
Mattes ' his own chances for elec
tion to the olllce of major would
be somewhat weakened, for In that
case-, Captain Chase, Captain Stlllwell
and Captain Fellows will make an
effort to capture the position.
Plenty of Speculation.
There Is much speculation as to the
probable outcome of the coming elec

officers of the company, but Mr.
Dunn dislikes the Idea of doing any

GENERAL GRANT, .
How Near His Personal Memoirs
Came to be Lost.
A Valuable Illstory Written by a Dying
Man. Proper Nourishment Enabled
the Author to Live Until the Comple
tion or Ilia Hook.
The fortitude shown by General Grant
In writing tho second volume of his per
sonal memoirs while lie was literally on
hi deathbed, excels even tho remarkable
courage exhibited by this famous soldier
in lils many achievements on the field of
buttle.
Col. Fred Grant, speaking of bis father's
last Illness, says:
"During the lust four months of Ills
sickness, tho principal food of my father,
Gen. Grant, was Uovinlno and uillk; ami
It was the use of this incomparable food
alone that enabled liim to finish the second
volume of his personal memoirs."
Dr. T. II. Douglas, Gen. Grant's physi
cian und friend, cordially indorsed the
above statement.
What Uovinlno did for Gen. Grant it
has done, and is now doing, for thousands
every day. It is the most wonderful con
centration Into a small bulk of ull the
Ufa-giving, muscle, llesli, and blood-making
elements of leau, raw meat ever pro
duced. it is in no way a medicine, simply a
food invigurant, that by its strengthening
qualities gives the worn-out or disordered
vital centres of the body an impetus thut
again starts them performing their natu
ral function.
It is indorsed by eminent physicians
everywhere, and blessed by thousands
whose lives It has actually saved.
To neglect to use tUs wonderful food
in all cases of debility, wasting diseases,
overwork, stomach and nerve diseases, or
for weak Infants, chronic invalids, loss of
vitality in old age, Is to throw away one
ofUie greatest chances of saving life.
