Gnat Crowds Attending the LyonMeetings.

The big tabernacle was the scene onSunday of three remarkable meetings,the like of which was never seen beforein our city. The address on The GreatFight brought out in the afternoon alarge audience of men. For an hour Mr.Lyon spoke on the battle every man hasto wage against, his own lower nature.

Itis one of the most scathing indict-ments of the vices and sins of our day,but was presented with a spirit of kind-

ness as well as intense earnestness.Frequently the crowd broke forth inapplause, and at the close it was a mostthrilling sight to see the entire audiencespring to their feet in token of their pur-pose to stand for a better life. The soloby Mr. Patterson. "Tell Mother I'll beThere," was also well received. Theevangelist stated that he had but startedupon his theme and would continue theaddress next Sunday at the same honr.

At the morning service Mr. Lyon gavea most able and scholarly address on theLordship of Jesus as the basis for a greatspiritual awakening. He has recentlywritten a book upon this subject whichhas already gone into the third edition.The central truth of the sermon was thatmany have professed to receive Christ astheir Savior from the guilt of sin thathave never acknowledged Him as theLord and Master of their entire lives.The speaker then proceeded to apply thisgreat principle to modern domestic, edu-

cational, social, commercial and politicallife!

In the evening the great building wasfilled to the doors. Many had driven infrom the surrounding country and neigh-

boring towns. A chorus of more than ahundred voices led by Mr. Pattersonfilled the platform. The volume of songcould be heard for many blocks. Thefavorite pieces seem to be "Just Lean onthe Arms of Jesus" and the famous Glorysong. The solo, "Would you Believe"was also very effective. Mr. Lyon spokeon "The Great Election." He picturedthe choice between Jesus and Barabbas.It is a choice everyone must makt. Atthe close many men and women cameforward in response to the invitation tothose who would accept Christ as theirpersonal Savior and Master.

In the after meetings there is nothingthat could be termed excitement, but themost thoughtful and seriour spirit pre-

vails. In a few words the evangelistexplains what it is to be a christian andthe steps into the christian life. Duringthe season of prayer each one is urged tocall personally upon God for help andpardon, and to make a definite surrenderto Christ. Those who make confessionof their purpose to begin the christianlife are given the blue button which Mr.Lyon uses in his work, a badge with theemblems of the cross and crown signify-ing Christ as both Savior and King.These buttons are becoming much inevidence on the streets.

The meetings will continue every evening except Saturday. On Thursdayafternoon Evangelist Lyon will speak towomen only. And on Friday night therewill be a special talk on the "Deadline inAmusements."

There is another department of oarhistory which we will dignify with thetitle of Military. For we have onr little"wars and rumors of wars."

The memorable words of Logan theeloquent chief Know, O white man, thatthere is enmity between mo and thee,have been tbe standing motto of allRed men.

The Pawnees were never at any time,the avowed and open enemy of thewhite man of Nebraska. Bnt in theearly day when they were strong andwe were weak, they begged and stole.insulted and threatened, until their insolence became insufferable, and thegovernor of the territory called uponthe Militia to chastise them. Plattecounty furnished more than 50 of thelittle army of 300 that pursued the fugttive criDe and overtooK tnem at ecreek afterwards called Battle Creek, inmemory of the event. Without a battlehowever, the Beds succumbed, and werepermitted, on promise of good behavior,to return to their home below Fremont.This "Pawnee war" occurred in July1857.

A number of little parleys occurredduring tbe next few years after thetribe occupied their new quartern onthe Loup. Such was that, for illustra-tion, when Quinn, six miles below Co-

lumbus shot an Indian dead whom hecanght the third time' after warninghim, in the act of steeling grain. TheReds rushed down from Genoa ia largenumbers, armed to tbe death, and de-

manded the slaver. Bnt Columbus andthe big road rushed down too, armed inlike manner and refused to deliverQuinn. The matter was finally adjust-ed by the sacrifice to Pawnee Justice ofa penny and six sacks of dour.

A similar affair occurred at Barnnm's.Not Barnum himself but someone inhis employ. When the avengers come,Barnum was not immediately at hand,and tbe terrified family and neighbors,present ouly in small numbers, wereabout delivering over not the'slayer buta whole cart load of floor and goods,when suddenly Barnum appeared oathe scene and with thunderbolta of ragefrom his lips aad n club indrove the Reds bom hie

By degrees the Pawnees came toUse the situation, and as early aa 1862one brave white woman would drive adozen Pawnee men from her with only awhip.

Bnt in 1864 n new foe threatened aafrom the unknown abodes of the Siouxin the north and west. A story of ter-

rors properly goes before my accountbat must be omitted" The horrors oftho west and south, some of them aanear to ue as Kearney and the Blue hadfor weeks filled our valley with pain-

ful apprehensions. But not until the"Looking Glass Meadow Massacre" hadwe realised the possibilities of our situa-tion. Then pillage, wounds and deathopened onr eyes. Pat Murray had ahay making camp on tbe Looking Glassnear Genoa. Mrs. Murray accompaniedher husband and they tented on thomeadow. One evening when Pat wasabsent at hie farm, at the sunset hour,there rode down from the hills a squadof 25 Sioux into the camp. They enter-ed peaeably and asked for food and Mrs.Murray supplied them. This done, theybegan to nntie the team from theirfastenings. The men resisting, in nmoment, in the twinkling of an eye,their deadly weapons were in play. Anold man was instantly brained andscalped. Adam Smith, Murray's broth-er-i- n

law, fell pierced with eight arrows;others in like manner yielded to tho fa-

tal poisoned arrows. Mrs. Murray with-ha- y

fork in hand defending the proper-ty received the barbed arrows bnt notin any vital organ. Only one escaped nboy who hid beneath a pile of hay.The report of the distress being heardat a distant farm, parties came in thedarkness and carried away the dead anddying. Mrs. Murray had crawled awaya distance into the tall damp grass andspent the lonely night in sgony of painand horror. She yet lives and is heretoday, but she will never fully recoverfrom tbe shock of that hour or the poi-

son of those arrows.
