Man Claims to be Christ. Himself.

Madison, Neb., May z2.-Special to
The News: Two young men, strang-
ers, have been conducting a religious
meeting in the neighborhood of Lind
say, one of the two claiming to be
Christ. Notwithstanding their pre-
tentious claims they have succeeded
in arousing considerable interest and
have some following. When leaving
Lindsay for Albion, where they
planned to hold a series of meetings,
they tried to inveigle a young lady
by the name of Christina Anderson
to accompany them and assist in the
work. Her parents refused to permit
her to do so, but the young lady was
determined and it was necessary for
the marshal to take charge of her.

Redmer Gets License No. z.

The seventh saloon license, over
which there has been much contention
in Norfolk during the past ten days,
was granted last night to w. A. Red
mer, successor to Ralph Beveridge
and Ray Weber.
The remonstrance of William Stokes
against Redmer, which had blocked
the way up till last night and which
had created more or less excitement,
was suddenly withdrawn at the be-
ginning of the council meeting. Rob-
ert Bathke then filed new remon-
STRANGE against Redmer, but failing to
get any cooperation, he shortly with
drew it. By vote of for, 1 against
and l not voting, the seventh license
was granted to Redmer.
Redmer came here about two
months ago from Beemer. He form
erly lived at Winside, also. When the
first six licenses were granted some
time ago, remonstrance was filed
against Redmer by Stokes, another ap-
plicant. 1t is presumed that Redmer
has arranged to buy out Stokes liquor
stock.
No more licenses can be granted
under the ordinance and thus the
Stortz and Krug saloon buildings are
without license holders. Selling,
Stokes, Walton, Grant and Marquardt
are the five last years license hold
ers who do not renew.
Dolin Ready to Stop.
Jack Koenigstein, as attorney for
Stokes, withdrew the Redmer remon-
STRANGE Immediately after the council
meeting was called to order. Coun-
Gilman Pat Dolin, who had evidently
become disguised with proceedings,
created a stir by moving that no more
licenses be issued this year. The mo-
ton was not seconded.
Robert Bathke then got in the bame
with his remonstrance against Stokes,
but having no witnesses at hand and
securing no backing, promptly with
drew from the game.
The Redmer license was granted on
motion of Dolin seconded by Craven.
1t was granted, Dolin, Craven, Fues-
Ter, Brakeman and Coleman voting for
it. Winter declined to vote and Fisch-
er voted no.
There was no particular contest as
the evenings proceedings had been
generally agreed on.

THE KoENIeSTElN RECITALS.
Music Pupils of Mr.. L. koenigsten En-
tertained on Two Evenings.
Before large and enthusiastic audi
ences, the pupils of MI. l.. Koenigstein
gave their two piano recitals Tues
day and Thursday evenings. The
hearty maner in which the efforts of
the students were received certainly
must have given satisfaction to the
performers and teacher. Learning by
heart certain number of pieces of
the right kind, and in the right con-
nection, and keeping them by heart
until they form part of the furnishing
of the mind, will certainly give cul-
Gure to just the extent that the music
is supplemented by detection and Sc
rious aspirations.
