THE EASIER PROGRAM AT METHODIST CHURCH Which Was Deferred Until Last Evening on Account of Storm Easter Sunday. I Mrnnnpv ILWNUI iiir r ML Lli CLAUSE" SUBJECT Address of M. S. Briggs Before Brotherhood Class at Presby terian Church Sunday. Yesterday at the Brotherhood class meeting a I the Presbyterian Sunday school, M. S. llriggs ad dressed the class on the .subject of "The Kmergency Clause." The cause of the selection oT this topic being that someone else was to have spoken at this time, and I hey not having I he lime to prepare, and the speaker being also very busy, thought Ibis would be a perl inenl t heme under I he rir ciiinslances, and t b err fore adopt ed it. In substance, lie bad to say that if there was any one thing which be would like In impress upon bis hearers it was I hat of preparation for anything which was to be done. The fact of be ing thoroughly prepared recallei a alory or a young man who was employed in the general ollices of a certain railway, where it, was necessary to send some of the ollice force out over the mad look, ing after mat lers for the com. pany, and in most every instance it required many hours to prepare. for I he journey, nnd thus made it more expensive to do the work and did not get it accomplished as as soon as the work was ready, as son as the work was ready. This young man determined that he would be prepared if the lot fell upon him, and therefore packed his grip with such things as would be necessary, that he would be ready. He did not have long to wait, for two days later an errand was necessary to be done, and he was asked to do it. The superior ollleers asked, "how soon can vou be ready to start " The answer was, l am ready now, ami be was going on the train that pulled out within two minutes. The sequence was that in after years this young man became the president of the company. His emergency clause was being pre pared for the work which he was expected to do. The matter of safely first, as practiced by the Burlington road, was commented upon very favor ably by the speaker, and this was shown as a way to prevent emergencies, which would in all cases result, in losses lo I he rom pany, as well as I he employes. A little booklet, written by F.l herl Hubbard, was commented upon by the speaker, and an in stance rei'iled therein, in which Wiiliani MiKiuiej, in 1S',)H, who was then president, and just be fore I be beginning of t lie Spanish Ainerican war, was wanting some one to send a message to (Jeneral (iarcia, who was the commander- in-chief of the insurrcetos of Cuba, that they might co-operate with the United Slates in the hostilities which were to open im mediately. Some of the presi dent's close friends suggested a man by the name of John' Win Ihrop as being the man who would be able, to carry the message, if anyone could. The message was riven, and how he placed it in an oiled skin packet in Ihe inner pocket of bis vest and was four days later dropped oil' a liner on Ihe shore of Cuba, where he dis appeared in the jungle, lo emerge three weeks later on tin opposite side of the island, having deliver ed the message, bringing one in return, is only an incident, but, it showed that for this very purpose Ibis young man was prepared, and could be trusted. Speaking on ibis proposition, the head of a concern which em ployed a large number of clerk in I heir ollice. said. Do you see that man at a desk?" which. he in dicated. "Well, that man appears lo be industrious, but do yon-know I could not semi that man on an errand live blocks from this ollice, for before be bad gotten three of them traversed he would have found if necessary to have visited the saloon on the corner, where he would have drank so much that he would be completely unfit, for the mission on which he was sent." The speaker impressed on his hearers Ihe fact that to be de pendable one must be' prepared for Ihe business which he is ox- taxm swmss. Is now on at Soennichsen's and will continue all this week.

Yesterday was certainly with out doubt Plattsmouth day in Omaha, and over 1,000 of our citizens were visitors in the big city lo view the destruction wrought by the storm there. The morning train on the Burlington had three extra coaches attached here, but even with this the crowd was compelled to stand up, there being such a swarm of people. The afternoon train was tilled up by the sightseers, and the Mis souri Pacific morning train took quite a large number lo the big' city. The trains coming back were crowded to the limit, both No. 1 i and the Missouri Pacific at midnight, which carried several extra coaches to handle the largo crowd, which came principally from this city, although (here was quite a large delegation from Ne braska City and points south. The debris of Ihe storm is be ing rapidly cleared away in the stricken district, but there is still months of work for the citizens of Omaha before the norihal condi tion of affairs is reached there. The visitors from Ibis cily were treated to a very homelike scene, in the metropolis, as the electric light current there was shut off for several hours and Ihe prin cipal streets shrouded in dark ness, which goes to show that ac cidents can happen to the best and largest lighting plants. t "IUSE PHONE 54 TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY r 1 P.
