REV. D.D.ODELL PLEADS FOR A CHANGE
Moncr Spent In MnUlnir ( lift * Should lie
U eil In I'njiiieiit of Wnsr to the
I'nor tat Whom Umplnyjnenl
Should III ) l-'ouilili
At the Btlh Bden Bactlst church yestpr-
day morning the pastor , Rev. D.D. Odell ,
preached from the text : "Ye have the poor
with you always. " He said In part :
Pauperism has Its causes , and I believe , by
wise legislation , avoiding the errors of class
legislation on the one hand and socialism on
the other , the evil can be remedied.
I shall mention , In the first place , a few
causes which are leading to this distorted
Btate of society. 1 shall not discuss them at
length. This It , not the prerogative of the
pulplt , but of the legislature. In the first
place , without doubt one of the prime causes
In the land Is the selfish basis on which
society Is built. The law of trade makes It
possible for men to grow up like mushrooms
In a single night to vast possessions , nnd
vast Influence , and man's selfish nature
pushes him on toward the accumulation of
riches. Mammonlsm Is one of the curses of
the Anglo-Saxon race. The law of exchange
JB , "Get as much as you possibly can for the
least possible return. " The rich not alone
are ' actuated by this principle. The laboring
man'demands the greatest possible wages for
the least possible work , and the rich man
demand a a maximum amount of labor for the
least possible return. This principle makes
capital the open and avowed enemy of labor
and labor the open enemy of capital.
The struglo goes on ; the battle wages hard
all Over our country , and In the tussle usu
ally the laboring man cornea out second best.
The rage of Mammon' Is almost universal.
Parents seeking alliance for their children
are desirous that they shall marry Into rich
families ; no matter what other qualification
la lacking , If the pocket book Is long1. Pa
rents desiring positions for their sons will
seel the most lucrative , no matter to what
temptations they are exposed , and It some
times occurs that " well-meaning1 parents thus
sacrifice their "sons and daughters on the
altar of Mammon.
HARM OF UNWISE OIVINO.
Another cause of the present wretched con
dition of tens of thousands of our people is
false charity. Indiscriminate giving will
pauperize people. The rich , thnt they may
throw a sop to conscience when they are
frosting sumptuously every day , and well
aware thnt thousands have scarcely a crust
to keep the wolf from the door , will give in
such a way as to destroy the manhood nnd
womanhood of those whom they wish to re
lieve. What the poor need today Is not to
bo treated as If they were maimed nnd
needy , but to be furnished with some way by
which they can earn on honest livelihood
Last winter the Indiscriminate charity of
well meaning people of Omaha created more
paupers than they relieved. "Well meaning
women , who are supposed to have finer sen
sibilities than men. hunted up people on
whom to bestow their benefactions , and the
result Is this winter we shall have a fresh
brood that we pauperized last winter.
There ought to be , and I am advised that a
movement Is on foot to that end. a unifica
tion of all churches , that every case of appli
cation for relief may bo Investigated. No
man , who can possibly support himself ,
( hould be supported by his fellow man. It
destroys his manhood.
Take for Instance the result from history.
In the days of Jnllua Caejsar 180,000 of the
Homan citizens were furnished with free
corn. Thlsnpmher , steadily Increased until
the time of Justinian , when S00000 | of that
noble race had bsen pauperized br the public
freely distributing corn , and they then'ide-
mandea not dnly torn. tiUt wine and ment.
The result waa tha.t Hotnei , became a great
pqor house. The noble virtue of the Romans
was dissipated. Diirliiu the m.ddlo ages.
when Indiscriminate giving s.in
of the Christian
church was ono of Its most prominent tea-
lures , an.l monasteries all over Europe ae
came depots of supply for mendicant vll-
llana that roamed from IIoa
place to place too
lazy to eara their llvlnc. Europe was , in
deed , n great pauper house , nnd just to tine
extent that Europe was pauperized. Just tote
that extent she became barberous
, effeminate
and wicked.
In the days of Queen Elizabeth there were
passed poor laws , which contemplated the
relief of the poor , which In a few years In
creased pauperism to such an alarming
ex
tent that parliamentary Investigation and the
changing of the laws was necessary.
REMEDY SUGGESTED. '
What nro we going to do ? In the first
place , we must carefully discriminate In our
relief of the poor. Not one In ten of those
making application for assistance
ought to
be assisted by giving them supplies. Wo
may assist them ; we may relieve them , but
In
other ways than by giving them food.
One of the great mistakes that the Christian
church has made Is to suppose that relief ,
for the poor means simply the giving of
food and raiment. "Is not the life more
than meat , nnd Hid body more than rai
ment ? " Is there not n soul within ? Throw
open the churches ; throw open the libraries ;
throw open your homes , and Invite the poor '
Into your homes Hint
they may catch on
Inspiration that will raise them up rather
than drag them down. Bid them welcome
In 'the ' churches and make- them feel that
one of the chief prerogatives of the preacher
of Jesus Christ Is to break the bread of
eternal lifeto the poor.
I believe the time will soon come when
such Institutions as Rescue hall and other
private Institutions of benevolence of
every
city will be dispensed with entirely. One by
ono they should be blotted out. Keep only
what la necessary for the few on whom lls'
fortune has been visited
and who
nro unable -
able to support themselves. What shall unwe
do with these- people ? Combine ) the charities
Into ono ' great Institution , called an employ
ment 'bureau , If you please. Take the $22-
000 that was , paid out by Douglas county
last year fcr the relief of the poor , add to It
from M00,000 , to $200,000 that went through
prlvato and public charity Institutions , use
this amount In employing- these men In level
ing the hills nnd grading the city , In buildIng -
Ing magnificent roads Into the country , and
If you wish to extend the principle farther ;
than this , let us have a large standing army ,
not such an armyas England owns for the
purpose of war. but let us have a standing
army of 2,000.000 or 6,000,000 , as the case
may he , whoso business It shall be to dam
the Nlobrar , and t'lttlerivers and other
rivers , and dig canals to Irrigate the- arid
lands of our country. . DUe them employ
ment ; use the money that * wo thus spend to
pauperize these men to pay them for their
honest toll , and in this way we shall see
our country grow purer and richer , and there
shall be peace , prosperity and plenty In the
land.

cohorts of Home under chosen consuls could

It would please Him who hath chosen us

It will please the Christ captain who chose

saving self , neglectful of our fellows.
So trust Oed , So love Him. So look on
Ufa's soldiership. God creates no sorrow , no
hardship , no death. "By one man sin en
tered ami death by sin. " Do good soldiers
under the discipline and direction ot Christ
Jesus , captain of salvation. Hear his chcr-

ovcrcometh will I crant to sit with me In
my throne , as I have overcome , nnd am set

Rev. C.V. . Savldgo of the People's church :
preached yesterday morning on "Reading. "
Said he :
"Many a man has been led to his death by
n bad book or paper. Shun the books which
degrade the mind and pollute the soul ; shun
those which speak slightingly of religion and
morals. Read the bible and the best books.
Read'above'you. De-Qulney says we ought
to know 'the literature of power , whose dy
namic , energy may pass Into our spiritual
beings , like iron Into the blood. ' "

health and strength and Internal cleanliness

beyond the old time medicines and the cheap
tubstltutes sometimes offered , but never ac ,
cepted by the well Informed. .
Two large houses attended upon the per
formance ot " 4-11-44" yesterday at the Fif '
teenth Street theater , and were pleased with
the entertainment afforded. There Is less of
an attempt at a. plot In this new farce than
In anything that can be recalled , although .
It Is decidedly reminiscent of a "Crazy
Patch , " "Tho Kindergarten , " and shows that :
were popular five years ago. The company
embraces several well known farce comedy !
favorites , William H. Maxwell , Emllo Hen-
sol , Monte Collins , who easily carries oft the '
chief honors of the play , Miss Norma Wills
and Miss Klieta Mann , the latter , the ought -
bret of the company. The play might
with entire truthfulness be called "ThePass-
Ing Show , " as the reason for " 4-11-44" Is '
not at all apparent until the last act , when !
everybody dreams a dream which Is a
"pointer" for Policy Pete , and ho "works"
the Icid as only a born policy follower knows |
how. The specialties are creditable and were
well received.

Yesterday the tlurllngton began , the regular
running of trains to Billings. Mont , , and by
way of the Northern Pacific to Helena , Spo
kane. Uuttc , Seattle , Tacortm and Portland and
all other Montana , northern Idaho and PuRet
Bound points , thereby giving to the railroad
world another transcontinental line , which
wlP playno Inconsequential part In the- mat
ter of freight and passenger traffic of the
future. There was considerable of a crowd
of people at the Union depot to see the train
and the people who would make the first
run over the new extension of the Burlington
from Sheridan , \Vyo. , to Hillings , Mont. , a
distance of 144 miles , which has been con
structed this year , the construction gang
laying on an average a mlle and a half of
track a day.
The building ot this line Is of Incalculable
benefit to Omaha , Kansas City. St. Louis ,
Chicago , bringing a territory of some
1,500 miles In extent almost to the doors of
thesecities. . It Is the short line between
Omaha { ind Helena by 295 miles , Omaha and
Butte by 225 miles , Omaha and Spokane by
385 miles , Omaha and Seattle by fifty miles ,
Omaha nnd Taconm by fifty-five miles , KanTl
sas City and Helena by 385 miles , Kansas
City and Butte by 315 miles , Kansas City
nnd Spokaneby 474 miles , the mileage to
these points being equally shortened from
St , Louis.
The country to the northwest has been
almost a sealud book to the wholesale .and
jobbing interests of the big cities along'tho'whl
Missouri , as well as In Illinois and the more
remote east. St. Paul and Minneapolis have
enjoyed a monopoly of this territory now for
tliu first time brought Into civilization's rltn
by the progressive pioneer methods of the
Burlington system of rails , which now covers
quite 7,000 miles.
The train which left yesterday at 4:50 : p.
in. Is carded for very * fast time , scheduled
to make the distance between Omaha and
Billings , 893 miles , In twenty-nine hours , or
nearly 31 miles and hour , which , through
the Black Hills country , the route traversed
by the IlurJIngton , Is regarded as exceedingly
fust ni nn Inc. Passengers leaving Omaha at
1:50 : p. m. will arrive In Billings the followttlc
Ing evening at 9:45 : p. m. , making ; close con
nections with the Northern Pacific for the
Sound country. The New Short Line , as It
will bo known henceforth. Is more than a
mere short line ; It Is a scenic route , perhaps
the most Interesting across the continent ,
introducing the traveler to historic battle-
fields , which , until now , have only been seen
by the wagoner and ranchman or tourist will-
Ing to accept the disadvantages of horseback
and wagon travel.
HISTORIC GROUND TRAVERSED.
The road travels the entire length of the
Crow reservation and permission of the
United States government had to bs obtained
as well as the consent of the Crow chiefs beTh
fore the work of building the road was bejjc

could be found than the Crows were during
the progress of grading and
laying the track I ,
and when this first train rushes through
the Crow country the re.d man will wake up ;
towh realize that the time Is not far distant
when the white man will be asking congress :
to throw open the Crow reservation to iMilte
settlement , and. ship the present possessors
ofCu this historic soil , upon which General
Custer died , as well as his brave boys In

land of the United States
enough farming

rich In coal and other minerals and through
the greatest cattle graying
section of the
United States. Hundreds of thousands of
head of cattle grow fat on the "blue stem"
grass which grows In abundance on the plains
and In the valleys. The line passes through
the valleys of the Little nnd Big Goose

larger or more representative German audi

an overture , from Nlcolal. Saengerbund ,
Llederkranzand the Columbus Macnnerchor
participated Jn the nest number , giving the
sacngerfest song , "Am Alter dcr Wnhrhelt. "
Doth were loudly applauded , but when Prof.
Hans Albert , ably accompanied by Herr
Oalim , delighted his listeners with a violin
solo , the "Ave Maria" from Schubert , Mill
tlia more lively airs ot Hauser , applause
knew no bounds for a while. An encore
could only appease the audience. Admirably
did the local master of music accomplish
'thla In the second piece.
Creditably rendered was "Meln Schlflleln

Is an easy task , The man with a character
as pure as the "lily of the valley , " who is ready
to sacrifice his individual interests for that of his
state , who loves and respects his fellow-men bet
ter than himself , and who's ideas are ever in con
sistency with all cranky- notions , will always be
some votes short after the election. The other fel-
loV , with less angelic qualifications , is usually the
choice of common sense. So it is in society , so
in business , The clothier who slashes and
smashes and gives Roods away in order to be a
good fellow , is to be fought shy like a Jersey
mosquito. The Nebraska gives nothing away ,
neither do we take anything for nothing. We'll
try our utmost to protect your dollar and give
you all we can for it. This season we can give
you more for your money than ever before , and
we do it cheerfully , without much ado , and super
fluous newspaper display. A suit you formerly
paid us $7.50 for was always worth gic.oo in any
store. This season we'll take but FIVE
DOLLARS and give you choice of two respec
table , all wool cheviot suits , well made , good
linings and honestly finished one of dark blue ,
the other of dark gray effect--both of a neat
plaid.
A true black cheviot all wool suit is worth
$15 oo , so is an all wool cassimere , but we'll fur
nish either this year at EIGHT SEVENTY-
FIVE , although they were cheap last year at
$11.50 , common sense buyers bought it for that
price at a bargain. Our black cheviots are double
breasted serge lined , elegantly trimmed , and the
cassimere ones are single breasted , pin checked ,
or brown and gray mixtures , Italian lined ,
