"The Man In the Cave" wns the topic of the morning serin n of Her. Dr. Askln , who resumed his labcrs ns pastor of the. Con- grcgattonul church after a vacaton uf nearly two months. The dlscours'e was based on the Incidents In the life ot Elijah , narrated In the opening part of the nineteenth chapter of first Kings. The lennoii opcred with a charming pic turing of the mountain scenes of the bible , from the bow of promise above Ararat to the crucifixion on Calvary and the glorious ascension. Fium among tlnse scenes the sjionKei dwelt more In detail upn that w.n- Uerful sight on Carmel when the llrc-piophet of God called down the victorious answer from heaven. Following this wonderful \lc- loij cune the threat of Jezebel and the flight of EIIJ h It was n season ot strange nnd deep spiritual depression , hardly to be expected In one of Elijah's selt-sufllclenl and Inspiring nature Yet In many good men their most signal failures took place In thee points of character f r which they wcro renmiK.ible In excellence. The causes uf Elijah's depression uf soul were such as In other less noted lives have led to lll.c results. I'lrnt , theie was the exhaustion which f lluwed upon the unusual Inlrr and the mental excitement. With s ime nan there was llttlo effort put forth In prajlng But Elljih wus given to stniggles There was an Interaction of body and mind , resulting In this Ocprcs pd feeling. Another cau e was the Hck of compan ionship and w nt of sympathy Elijah laid great stress on the thought that he was the onlv prophet of God left. This sense rf lonel ne s was the fiequent penaltj ot great minds. Christ himself had felt torcly the need c ( human companionship and sjmpathy. Another cati'-c wan a morbid Introspection Men of great breadth of character and lofti ness of purpose were m re given to this than the fcnsuous and trifling , fcr the latter had no time ot Inclination to examine self Like El jnh , a man sometimes hies himself Into the care of belt-conscious weakness , and peering out from the gloom the world wears a cheerless garb C-rlylo when seized by this feeling would picture the u ihl ns In the very gilp of the devil , but when In hap- plct mo d Hie outlook was one of hope am brightness Still another rause of soul de pression was the lack ef occujatlon. So long as Elijah hud prophet's work to do although sevtit , his bp fits weie stimulate ! to theli be t , but for an active nature to simply wait IK tut lure GOD'S ItEUEF FOR DEPRESSION. Depression was caused , too , by a dlbip polntment In the expectation of success Oti Caiini'l he thought his hope reallj-ei : and that Israel was to be nt once trans formed into a Kingdom o ! Uod , but In a diy the bright picture vanished The peopl hid yielded to the voice of the queen , whos tlneat had --cut the fire prophet Into tlmoroit Illgl I God s treatment of the piophet's de presslon was suggestive of 1IK > > lielpfnlne for others similarly tried In the first pine food and sleep , physical requirement , res and exercise were piovldcd as needed. The ; the stormy wind was calmed by the hcalln Influence of nature. As the teir In the ev gives relief to the sorrow burdened heart a woman , so the storm of the mountain , ex pressing Elijah's stoimy self , brought relle to calm. Then God made him fee ] 111 cat neatness of life. Man was not made t live In a cave of despondency Life m ant doing Elijah was. bidden go his way , and new activities called him from his gloom With this call to labor came the complete cure of despondency In the divine assurance of final victory. Elijah thought himself alone In clinging to the true faith , but God pointed to the 7,000 in Israel who had not bowed the knee to Baal. Elijah's cjes were opened to the fact that his life had not been a failure and that the future glowed with hope. He learned that no work done for men In God's world can fall There was much difference between real and apparent success Tht > shouts on Carmel were as nothing tu the silent inspiration given to the 7,000 souls whose spiritual life had been sustained by watching Elijah's faithfulness and moral courage That was the rcil , though not the bcemlng success. Teachers , weary over some thankless task , shall remember the power of indirect in fluences Christian workers shall remember that crowded churches , applauding listeners , counted far less than changed lives and growing characters One should not covet the brilliant victory on Caimel nor seek the solitude of the despondent cave > . It was the quiet walking toward God nnd heaven that won the llnal recognition , no less certain , even If less brilliant , than that with which God graced the heavenly reception of the great fire prophet , Elijah.

The cedar block paving was about as pro foundly surprised at the sudden dash of rain yesterday morning as the pe-ple ef the city , who had nearly forgotten what the sound of rain was like. When the water came tearing down Harrison street the blocks along the entire east side cf the street rose up about a foot and danced In surprised delight on the top ot the flcul , and many of them accompanied the Good on Its way down Indian creek. The long hot and dry t-pell hud evaporated the last drop ef mois ture from the half rotten blocks leaving them loosei in their beds. When the watei came they floated like corks. The walei Howtd beneath them tnd cut out the sanl and gravel tamping , and damaged fully hall the paving to such an extent that It wll have to be relald.

Itoedcr , a law student In the oflice , mentioned In The Surday Bee , will , In all probability , prove fatal , as appears from the further details ot the affair as they were received here jesterdaj\ The wounded man now lies at the Policlinic hospital In a critical condition , white his assailant occupies n cell at the city Jail. A discussion , which soon developed Into a quarrel , arose over the signing of a receipt by Mrs. Horvcck , a client of Waller's , to Hoeder. und U Is said her attorney advised her not to sign It , That , It Is claimed , an gered Hoeder. A few hasty words wcro spoken , and a moment later a ( hot was fired nnd AValler fell to the floor with a wound In his left groin. The crowds from the adjoin ing offices , Including the justice courts on the floor below , ru licd Into the oflice and found Waller on the floor , ble'dlng and gasp ing for bteath , while Hoeder was walking up and down the oflice , with the revolver still In his hand and ndmlttlng that he had done the shooting Mrs Ilorvecl ; hid left the otlice and could not be found a few moments Inter. Inter.WnHer WnHer stated that he had been shot by Itoeder , nnd added 'He shot to kill " A few moments later the police ambulance arrived , anil , at Waller's request , he was taken to the Chicago Polycllnlc hospital. He also dictated a telegram to his father at Chailes City , ta , , requesting him to come on at once. He was perfectly cool and was not in the least excited , giving directions as to hla removal and the doctors lie desired , and who were afterward summoned. He BtnUc ] that Itoeder uus about eight feet from him when he shot. The wound In the groin was verj small and bled very llitle. On the way to the station Hoeder toltl the detectives that the shooting waa ucclilertal , the re\olver discharging whsn he opened the drawer In which it was Kept , lie asked frequently for ncw ot the condition of his victim , uiul stendllj InMttcd that he had no Intention ot altootlng him lie would not talk of the details of the shooting , nor the talk which led up to it. Soon after Hoeder was locked up at the Central station word came from the hospital lhat Wallers condition was growing woise , and arrangements were nt ones made to se cure an ante-mortem statement fiom him aa to the facts of the shooting. Tlie Injured man was SO years of age , and had been practicing lawIn Chicago for three years Ills home was formerly In Charles City , where his parents still reside. Up to about three years ago he lived In this city , and was well known , being In the Insurance business with his brother , B.

Mr Lelk , who keeps the St Joe house , on Main street near Seventh avcn o , was the victim cf a lively rumpus yesterday morn ing. Three joung .men , names unknown , came along while Lclk wua trying to scrape the mud from the sewer manhole In front of his establishment and let the water , which had been falling In torrents for hours , run Into the , sewer Something or other led to wnnn words between Lclk and the three joung fellows , who Immed ately proceeded to pummel him At that time the water was nearly knca ilecp In the gutter but tlio qurtet soon found themselves all In a heap In the wel Lclk was , unfortunately for h m , at the bottom of the heap , and was completely Immersed In the not overlj'-clean flood Mrs. Lelk saw the dismal predica ment her llegc lard was In , and , arming herself with a brick , rushed to his rescue. One of the ycung men caught the brick on the side cf the head , and when the fray was over found the blood running out of a hole In his scalp about three Inches long. Mrs Lelk prostrated herself on top of the heap , and by scratching and pulling hair finally convinced the young men lhat It was time to move on Lelk was unhurt , although the fact of his being plungexl In the bath was something galling to his liner sensibili ties He claims to have a clue to the Iden tity of the three men who assaulted him , and declares he w II flle an Inform ?

During my bohemtan days it occurred that I sat In an uptown cafe with the sort of a man whom this Incident will reveal , says a writer In the New York Press. A wild-look ng , unkempt chap , gaunt , shabb ) , with a four dajs' growth of beard , rushed In , looked wildly around and then hurried over to my companion and took him aside. As a result of their conversation the man with me turned to me and said In a whl per * "I am going to able jou to loan me-$2 , but don't jou do It. " Then he asked me and I refused the loan , and the gaunt man went unsteadily out. ' Queer duck , thnt , " said the man at the tablevltli me , "always getting Into scrapes , taking out opera companies and leaving them stranded. The last scrape he got Into was In Montreal. He telegraphed home : "I am In jail on a technicality , but don't tell mother * That stinck me as very funny , 'Don't tell mother. ' But he was always an Ill-balanced nss , anyway " Now. that thoughtfulncss of his mother In the young man who wanted lo borrow $2 struck me as n rather deserving trait , nnd J left my companion abruptly and followed htm out.

JI9 50 a hundred The extremely Innocent person would sup pose that a denier could not expect to sell many of those cigars at wholesale when a bujcr of 100 would save only one-half a cent on each cigar. Well , the dealer doesn't expect to H 11 them by wholesale , and he doesn't sell them , but he knows that it just tlcklcj a smoker to death to think that he IB getting a single cigar for practically what It would cost him it he bought a thlp load ot them.

The deepest Bounding known -1,665 fathoms , or 27.930 feet , was obtained 110 miles from the Kurlle Islands ; the nexl deepest , 4f.Gl fathoms , was found seventj miles north of Porto lllco.

IIo at llrst refused ta talk , us his attorney had Instructed liltn not to. After his wife vent away , however , he made a statement. IIo said : "After I closed my barber shop 1 went over to the dancing platform , wht-re unite a crowd was congregated. There was some Jangle about a girl named Nellie Gilest , and the man In charge asked me If I would send for an ofllccr before th ? men became Involved In a row.

I did not know I had cut him until he made the remark that he was done for My wife and other women and men saw the whole affair , and they will tell } ou the same story. " An cjc witness , Al Donga says that Dcrr has threatened to stab Smith on several oc- cislond nnd that Smith said before the as sault that lie did nut want to have anything to do with Derr The police say that Derr has threatened others.

H Is hardly possible that Derr nude all the gashes with n single stroke of his knife , but he says he enl > made one pass at Smith. Smith's statement Is to the effect that Derr assaulted him without provocation , but ho is so weak ( hat It Is difficult for him to talkDerr's Derr's examination will not take place until Smith is ublt to appear In court and testify. _ Fniorublc t < > Atiurxntlnn. The report of the special committee of the cKy council in regard to annexation has bo > n criticised sincp It was read The committee stated that a thorough canvass had been made among the property owners and that the people eeemed to be almost unanimous against annexation.

The pack ers and stock yards people are In fa\or of annexation Ihere are tin try citizens who own their homes here who voted against annexation before who nre heartily in favor of It now. "As a membsr ot the South Omaha city council , " said one gentleman , "I do not think that report should hava been submitted. It Is too positive and too radical I am In favor of submitting 'the I pr6posltlon tothe people and let them decide by 'thch1 ballots what they wish. That report shuts oft all chance for argument and I am not pleased with It , " _ Activity In Ittul i : inlc.

Bargains are being offered now that Inside qf thirty days could not be. Values are bound to go up a little later In the season , and the wise ones are bujlng now and they are the ones that will reap the harveU Inside of the neNt 3 ear. " As for houses to rent , there are no desir able ones In the city , though there la a good demand Ilents are higher here than they are In Omaha A house that would rent for $15 In Omaha brings $20 and $ i5 a month here. But little building Is going on , but as the population Increases It makes the dcnund for houses greater , and this Is the principal reason that rents remain so high. " City Oosulp.

The train boy had just gone through the , rar vending : hi : literature and the drummers were cllscussiiu ( he book entitled "Peck/s Dad Boy. " One ol the party , a particularly noisy fellow , boastet of a personal acquaintance with the nut hoi ot the book yes , ha knew Peck Intimately and forthwith he preceeded to regale hli friends with elabora'e stories ot his experl ences with the Wisconsin humorist , Kroir his point of vantage across the way PecV listened In silent surprise to the preposteroui Inventions of the fellow , and hlx aniazomen deepened Into horror and chagrin when thi garrulous drummer , encouraged by the In terested countenances of his hearers , pursuei Ills discourse to the extent of narrating , vvltl scrupulous attention to detail , the Incident ; of an alleged spree which "me an' Peck" onci enjoyed together. You can fancy how wrotl poor reck became when lie heard hlmsel pictured as the veriest sot and libertine , foi If there are virtues upon which he prldei himself they are his temperance' and hi ; morality. . Having heard himself dragged b ] ( hl > superb liar through the boozing den and low resorts of Milwaukee , Brother Peel jfjnally arose , gathered hlmielf tO etbg ggi broke In upon ( he mcndaclouii drummer's I narrative He s.ild he line ) known I'eck & . great many vears and was able to declare that Peck never taxied Iliiuor anil never visited disreputable places Warming up to bin business In hand , I'eck dilated with SB- verily upon the evil practice uf lajltiK clilin to BceiunlntRrtcp with people , n practice too often Indulged In by vulgar , no'sy perrons. Ho concluded tils raMlKallon of the offender by disclosing his Identity , by denouncing the blatant drummer as an Impostor nnd by ny- IHR : "Hereafter , Mr , when vou ar tempted to He nbout me , pr.iy let jour fancy concern lUelf with me alone. When vou report that I nm n libertine jou teflcct upon my home relations , and thnt Is nn offenie which I shall not tolerate.

Tlir llct 'lliej.Made 119 i > \\lilth M'mihl l.lvo tlio Longest. In the year 18SI there were few men better known In the sporting world than Billy Kmcr- son , Jack Sheridan , Johnny Pratt and Winni peg No one ever seemed to know Just what Winnipeg's first name was , but , like the other three , he was a man whose nerve , when It came to making a heavy wager on card or horse , was never questioned Among racing people in the east and west these four men ! were known and respected , for , In addition to i being heavy gamblers , they were men who , had never been In any way Identified vvl'h any scheme or deal that was not , to use a race track expression , "on the level. " It was dur ing the year 1SSC that they were at the top notch of prosperity. Although different In many ways , relates I ho New York Sun , there was one common ailment among them , and It was probably this thnt made them such f.itft friends. All four were consumptives , and , although nt tint time the disease hud barely more than shown itself , thcj got woree and worse as the } eirs rolled by , un'll one by one they died Al though they must have known what was the trouble with them , It was utterly Impossible to get any of them to acknowledge that he had consumption It It was tald to one of them that he wns looking 111 , he would simply laugh and say "Never was better In my life Muy have been drinking a bit and stayed up to late ; but sick ? Not n bit ; never felt so well before , ' and ho would slap him self on the chest and give vent to a hollow cough. Emerson kept a swell gambling house In New York at one time , but gnve It up after he became Interested In the turf. Sheridan and Pratt had been gamblers all their lives , and Winnipeg was a joung man of good family and good education , who had had a llttlo money left him , and had happened to strike luck by Investing it in horse races. Kvery once In n while nowaday when bookmakers get together over a cold bottle and begin telling stories the story of the ' four cons , " as they vsers called , cotnes up In the Hoffman house bar one evening last week n bookmaker was telling the storv tea a number of acquaintance. "A peculiar thing about the e men , " he said , "wns that although none of Ihem would ever acknowledge that he was on the brink of the grave , they would take great pl'nsure In guv Ing one another about their 111 health Emerson , pale and emaciated and emitting hollow coughs , wculcl walk up to Pratt , whs was In a similar condition and say 'Look here , old boy , > ou're a sick man. Go away somewhere and recuperate. You need rest' Then Pratt would brace up mil reply iiullft- tnntly 'You go to What do jou mean by telling me I'm sick , ' and then he would stride away , nnd clear through "This sort of thing went on for some tlni" , until one day CmerFon remarked to the others tint he wns going to have his life Insured. 'What ! ' they gnsped together , 'you don't think any company would take n chance on you , do von ? ' Umerson Ignored the In sinuation , and the next diy had an examina tion for Ufa Insurance. Of course he didn't pass. When he gloomily told the others about It they gave him the grand laugh Then each one In turn quietly Inforni'd Emerson that he himself was going to be In sured. vThey all tried , and all were re jected. "One day they met at the race track and Emerson remarked 'Say , bojs , we couldn't get Insured , but I've got n better game than that. Let's put up a thousand apiece , and ' the one who lives the longest takes the pot ' " 'Why , jou poor fool1' remarked Winni peg , who was at that tlmo the wor&l case of all , 'It's a dead certain will for me.1 " 'Oh , sou don't bay so , ' put In Pratt. 'Why , one ot jour lungs Is missing now , and I don't think you'll live a montli ' "After an hour of that sort of dialling the four men agrecij to put up the money It was given to Billy Elliot , a bookmaker , nnd ho deposited it In a New York bank. II was deposited In such a way that any one of a dozen bookr.akers could draw It out at any time. This was done so as to be sure that the last man would bs able lo get the money without any trouble "At this tlmo poor Winnipeg was an awful sight , and the people thought he would die any minute. His cheeks weie pale and sunken , his eyes shone like balls of fire , ho coughed Incessantly , and he could bcarcely totter nlong , he was so weak. Yet he would come to the track every day , nnd whenever ho'd run across one of the other three he'd guy him about the money they had put up You fellows will be dead and gone before they put me In bed , ' he'd say Those who knew him used to smllo pityingly on him whenever he made this boast. "Two .months after the mcney hail been deposited Emerson's physicians told him that lie had to go away or ho'd die In a week. So Billy took his money and went to Texas , where he bought a ranch and tried lo net tle down , In six months he was dead. Early In 1SST Sheridan died , and this left only Pratt nnd Winnipeg , who was verily a living corpse , to contest fcr the money. Pratt got worse and worse , nnd his condi tion was scon as bid as his friend's. ' These two Uhcd to totter around the betting ring and when they were not betting would tell each other how bad they looked. 'Jack and Billy have gone , ' bald Winnipeg one day and you're next , Johnny. That coin's mine. ' 'You'll bo dead In a week and I'll collect that (4,000 , ' Pratt replied , and both laughed. "Tho nexl week Pratt lost his every dollar In nn attempt to make enough to leave his wife independent when he died The week after he was too weak to gel up one morning , and after being confined to his bed a couple of days he died , leaving his vvlfo penniless. The very day he died the mcney was drawn from the bank by Elliot and given to Winnipeg. 'I knew I'd win It , ' said the latter. 'I knew I'd cut- llvo them , and now I can't die too soon to suit myself. My living for the past six months has been a mere matter of pride , anywaj' . ' "Winnipeg had lost all his money In the same deal as Pratt , but he had no need for the 14,000 , for three days later he died Just before he breathed his last he drew the $4,000 he had won from beneath his pillow , and with trembling hand passed It over to nillot , who sat at his bedside. 'Give that to Johnny's widow , ' he said. 'I haven't got a relative left on earth , and I don't tt t reckon It'll ever do me any good. ' " A Scottish clergyman , vho died thirty years ago , Mr. Lelshman of Kinross , used to tell that he once lived seven years without a birthday , The statement puzzled most who heard it. They could see that If he had been born on the 29th of February he would have no birthday except In a leap year Bui leap year comes once In four years , and this , ac counts for a gap of three years only. Their first thought would , therefore , naturally bt that the old man , who , In fact , was fond ol a harmless Jest , was somehow jesting about the seven. There was , however , no Joke 01 trick In the assertion. At the present time there can be very few , If there are any , who have this tale to lei of themselves , for one who can tell It mual have been born on the 29th day of Februarj at least ninety-eight years ago. But a Elm' liar line of missing dates Is now soon t < return ; and , Indeed , there are , no doubt some readers who will have only one birth' day to celebrate fur nearly twenty years Ic come. The BClullon of the puzzle Is to be founi In the fact , which does not appear to b < widely known , that the year 1800 was not i leap year , and 1900 will not be. The Frbru nry ot 1892 had Uenty-nino dayi , but li nil ( hit seven years Intervening between 183(1 and 1904 , as well as In the three be * , twrrn 1S82 and 1S16 , that niuith will Imvo only twentj-eight CHICAGO'S COSTLY DITCH. llrliiRliiK tlie Witter * ol tjiWr Mil liliiii > to the MI * lMliil. | | About 17,000,000 In cold cnsh has been expended thus fur on Chicago's big ditch the dralnngo canil.
