PUZZLER FOR THE POLICE
One Feature of the Sol Jan Mnrder Cose that
is Not Yet Cleared Up.
HOW DID THE BODY REACH THE RIVER
Search So Inr lint Fnllcd to Dliotoio the
Meaui Uicd to Transport the
t'orpie of the Murdered
Mnn.
Nothing new was developed In the Seljan
murder case yesterday. The detective force
spent the entire day In an effort to discover
liow the body of Seljan was conveyed to
the river after he was put to death. The
search was , however , fruitless.
Seljan was a large man and It Is considered
Improbable that oneor two men would have
been able to carry his body to the river with
out attracting the attention of some one. It
Eome one did ice a burden ot such kind being
carried and paid no attention to It at the
time , the sight would certainly have gained
significance In his mind now on account of
the notoriety that has been given to the cass.
Then , too , a body wrapped up In a blanket
would have been on awkward burden to
carry , as the body would not have become
very stiff In the hot weather. The latter
argument Is the stronger , as none of the
streets leading from the house whore the
murder occurred to the river are frequented
late at night.
1 ! the body was carried to the river In a
conveyance It was probably obtained In the
Immediate neighborhood. North of Pierce
street as for as the railroad tracks there Is
a settlement of Italians and Russians , whose
occupation consists of peddling. In many of
the yards there Is a wagon , and In more
there are a number of push carttr , such as
tfre used by street venders of fruit , standing
outside al night. One of these could easily
be obtained and returned without the knowl
edge of the owner. No one so far has been
discovered who saw any vehicle of such kind
passing througli the streets toward the river
on the night after the murder.
BLOOD STAINS NOT ESSENTIAL.
All the vehicles In the neighborhood I'ave
been carefully examined by the detectives
for blood stains , but none have been dis
covered In such a condition. If a vehicle was
used , however , It need not have been stained
with blood. The body might have been care
fully wrapped In a blanket or some o'.her
covering In such a manner that no jjlood
would have escaped out of the wrapping.
There Is but one other roule by which the
body could have been carried to the river.
That Is through a sewer. Through the Chicago
cage lumber yards , north of the tracks , a
large eight foot sewer runs. It the body was
deposited In it It might have been washed
Into the river. On Wednesday morning , the
morning after the murder was supposed to
have been committed , In the neighborhood of
3 o'clock a short but heavy rain fell. A
largo volume of water fell , but It , Is not
thought that It was enough to wash the
body Into the river In the comparatively
short space of time that elapsed between the
time the murder Is supposed to have occurred
and the time when the body was recovered.
The prisoners still refute to say that they
had anything to do with the murder. In the
many talks that the police officials have had
with them , however , they have made so many
contradictions as to what they did and as tc
timing their doings on the day on which the
murder IR presumed to have been committed
that there remains but little doubt that some
of them at least are able to explain the man
ner In which Seljan came to his death. Thej
have made .some Important statements , too ,
which the police refuse to divulge. There Is
some evidence also , In the possession of the
police , which haatnot been given to the pub
lic.
STRONG AGAINST ONE MAN.
On the strength of the statements that have
been made and the evidence which he has ii
his possessions Chief ot Police Whtto Is con
fident that ho will bo able to convict at leasl
one of the prisoners. This Is Bukove , 01
Bukovlc. He Is considered the murderer
Druhnlo and Mlkan are also undoubtedly Im
plicated In some manner , but Mrs. Mikan ant
Urbanowltchm are not supposed to have taker
"any hand In the crime , although they maj
have obtained knowledge of It. Mrs. Mlkar
Is evidently worried more about her husbam
than she Is about herself.
Complaints will bo sworn to against ttu
prisoners * this morning , the charge being
murder. The evidence has been placed In th <
possession of County Attorney Baldrldge , al
though It has not been decided whether hi
will personally handle the case. Asslstan
County Attorney Day looked after the Inter
ests of the state at the coroner's Inquest.
The body of Seljan was laid to rest yester
day afternoon In Forest Lawn cemetery. The
funeral took place from the morgue at :
o'clock.

The question of voting bonds for a new
High school building and to meet the overlap
necessary to tide over the Board of Education
Is still the tcplc of conversation upon the
strceti. There are omo who are cruel
enough to claim that the purpose of those
favoring the voting ot bonds Is In the nature
of a real estate scheme. The men who are
taking the greatest Interest In the movement
are alleged to have property to dispose of , and
which would bo desirable as a High school
site.
site.W. . B. Check , president of the Board of
Education , In speaking of tlie bond proposi
tion yesterday , said that a now High school
building was an absolute neceteity , as every
school room In the city was overcrowded , and
especially the High school. At the com
mencement of the next term of school there
would bo 125 additional pupils to enter the
High school , and there was no place to put
them. If the town was annexed , South
Omaha would never get a High school , arid
parents would bo compelled to send their
children to Omaha to school. Four more
rooms , he said , were needed to relieve the
Missouri avenue and the Brown park schools.
The Third ward school was crowded , and
something would have to be done at once.
Other members of the board were of the
same opinion as Mr. Cheek.
Dave Anderson said that in his opinion It
would be better to pay Interest on bonda for
ten or twenty years than to pay the 20 mill
school levy. Anderson ' thought that the
Board of Education had done wrong In enter
ing Into a contract for three yeirs with Super
intendent Munroe at an Increased salary. He
declared that a good superintendent could
bo hired for $100 per month. The salaries
of all teachers and Janitors , ho urged , should
be cut from $5 to $15 per month.
Attorney Van Duzen claimed that he was
In doubt as to whether bonds could bo legally
voted to pay the running expenses of the
schools. He did not specially favor the
proposition at this time.
It has been decided by the Board of Educa
tion to have but nlno months' school the
.crming year and to cut off the pay of
teachers and Janitors during the winter and
spring vacations. By doing this It Is thought
that about $6,000 can bo saved.

FOSTERS'S KEY TO NATIONAL GREATNESS
Old Lvorj-ilHjr lllblo Without Variations !
H.ilUrucliirj- I'nstur of lincix Church
rijrinouili Ciincrcgntlaiml Church
\Vclcuiuoi n New 1'uitur.
I ast evening at the Immanucl Baptist
church the pastor , Hev. Frank \V. Foster ,
selected for his text : "Tho Exaltation ot
tiio Nation. " In discussing this subject , ho
said : There you have the key to oil na
tional greatness.
U Is not conquoit , nor Napoleonic diplo
macy and daring , or "alertness. " It Is
not revolution , not the wars of York and
Lancaster , nor the wars' of the emperors ,
but the wars fought for the establishment
of a moral principle that exalt a nation. A
little nation like Holland , when It can train
a llttlo band of pllgilms In principles of
liberty and equity and send them out to
found a nation upon these principles , Is of
greater worth to the world than a conquer
ing Caesar.
Righteousness Is a word which politicians
have been trying to relegate to the do
mains of theology , along with the ten com
mandments. The world likes to keep Jus
tice , If not too strict , and Integrity , when
not too precise , but these virtues cannot
exlbt apart from rlghteousii s ; .
The exaltation of any nation must bo In
accordance with the dlvlno will , and theru
can be none of the correlative virtues where
the chief virtue Is wanting. It a nation
would live longer than another nation , If
It would claim the right to exist at all In
this enlightened century , It must recognize
Qed and be willing to be guided by Ills laws.
Other plans have failed ; there Is no use
trying them again. I am not to speak for
the church exclusively as God's means of
exalting this nation and saving the people ,
though I believe In that with all my soul ,
but I am to speak of the deep conviction
which ought to exist In every patriot's mind
and heart that national greatness Is pro.
portlonato with national morality , Justice
nd honor.
Nations exist for the people. Aristotle
aid : "Society comes together and exists
hat men may live well , " and If men live
tell and right-tho nation will exist long
nd be happy. In our political harangues
e often dramatize Aesop's fable of the ass
i the lion's skin. "Wo have much to
earn , " says Emerson , "much to correct , a
; reat deal of lying vanity. The spread
lagle must fold Its wings and be less of a
icacock , must keep Its wings to carry the
.hunderbolt when ho Is commanded. Wo
must realize our rhetoric and our rituals.
) ur national flag represents some Chicago
tr Baltimore caucus , and not the whole ot
he population. It represents not -union nor
.istlco , but selfishness and cunning. "
The greatness and exaltation of the na-
lon does not depend upon corn , but char-
icter ; not upon climate , nor cotton , nor
.ommerco , but upon virtue. The wealtu
akcn from the mines or wrung from the
loll or produced by the mechanical arts or
jclcnce , or commerce. If It elevates the
vliolo people , If It reduces the amount ot
.llltcracy and Immorality , If It feeds more
hungry and clothes more of the ragged , and
liouses more of the people ; If crime Is les-
lened and misery and suffering Is lightened
nd homes are happier and hearts lighter
nd ll\es are purer , then this great Increase
f wealth , this constantly Increasing wealth
if the nation , will prove a blessing , and
he nation will bo exalted by It ; otherwise
his wealth will only hasten the overthrow
jf this government and the serfdom of
many of the people.
The righteousness of the people will drive
out slnfulness and Injustice and Immorality
ust as the llsht drives out darkness. It la
he duty of the patriot to point out the sins
of the people , Just as Wendell Phillips did
when he spoke. It was his duty to lift his
voice against their sins as he would lift his
arm to strike down any foreign foe. Jo.seph
Cook says : "Tho death grip at the throat ol
any nation under universal suffrage Is a com
bination of the Illiterate with the greedy
criminal classes , the ancient and not honor
able family of the wax-noses , the weather-
rane population who will go with the major-
ty wherever they can be led. "
As In the physical body congestion causes
fever which , If not allayed , will terminate
In death , so In the body politic any congestlor
which causes one part to become feverish Is
sure to bring death to the body If the fevei
Is not broken. There Is no part of the bodj
politic that Is so frequently In a state ol
high fever as the monetary part. The con
gestlon of wealth Is the cause of this fever ,
and the remedy Is In a necessary , larger and
fairer and more equitable distribution , and In
a more moderate spirit of speculation and
a curbed deslro to get rich quickly. Tht
growing Immensity of the piles of gold held
by a few families Is dangerous both to the
holders and to the nation.
In 1880 the United States had S per cenl
of the amount of wealth that all Europe had
While In this country there IB not the arls
tocracy of blood , there 13 an aristocracy ,
It IB the aristocracy ot wealth. Ilev. Josepl ;
Strong said ten years ago : "Mammonlsm li
corrupting public morals In many ways. San-
day amusements of every kind , horse racing
base ball , theaters , beer gardens , steamboal
and railroad excursions , are all provided be
cause there Is money In them. Ltcentloui
tteraturo floods the land ; gambling flourishes
n spite of the law because there Is monej
n It. That great abomination of desolation
that triumph of satan , that more than ter
Egyptian plagues In one , the liquor traffic
grows and thrives at the expense of everj
human Interest , because there is money In It
Ever since greed of gold sold Christ and
raffled for his garments. It has cruclflec
every form of virtue between two thieves. '
The fate of the republic IB doubtless Ir
the great cities. "White rum rules the greai
towns universal suffrage Is a farce , " salt
Wendell Phillips. The New York Times
said nearly the same , and stated that "thli
Is the underlying evil which paralyzes ever :
effort to get good government. "
How long before wo shall see "tho hand
writing on the wall ? " How long can the na
tlon exist with these evils before they mus
go or the nation shall die ? "We are In thesi
days settling for ourselves , and our descend
cntB questions which , as they shall be de
termlned In one way or the other , will maki
the peace and prosperity or the calamity o
the next age. The questions of education
society , labor , the direction of the talen
of character , the nature and habit of Amer
lea , may well occupy us ; nay more , the ques
tlon of religion. "
We believe In the future of this nation be
cause wo believe In the all guiding hand o
God In the affairs of this people , and He wll
lead this nation on and on until the broai
principles of Christian equity and benevolenc
and love shall govern men. and only so shal
this nation be exalted by righteousness.
WOULD WANT-jATKCSTWOHTIIY III1II.1
Too Many of Them Arc I.lko lint Hack
Intended to HUIIK Things On.
At the Knox Presbyterian church , the pas
tor , Rev. Asa Leard , last evening preache
the second sermon In the series on ovoryda
theology. Ills subject was : "A Commo
Sense Bible. " Ho said :
The world has many books , and the cliurc
has many bibles. Yes , many bibles.
The old everyday bible Is being presente
with many variations , and sometimes It I
principally variation. Some preachers have
bible that Is simply a book of themes c
texts , on which to hang a sermon , were
not for the text that Is usually read an
given the place of honor at the head of tl ;
sermon one would not know that the preachc
had a bible of any kind. The trouble Is tlu
the man's blblo la only a book of textt , to I
used , like the pins on a bat-rack , for hangln
things on. Such a bible ls not of very muc
use to the preacher , the congregation or an
one elee. This Is surely not the bible th :
the martyrs died for.
Then there Is a very popular bible ti
day , known especially to the clergy , and pa
tlcubrly to those In our theological temlni
rles. The bible Is a subject for crltlc'.in
men go at U professionally , disjoint It , dl
connect It and disintegrate It until they dl
believe It. This U a very Interesting bib
to cchclEtri , but not very attractive to a con
mon , slalck soul , anil as moat men beloi
to this latter class , the critics' blblo Is bound
to have but a limited circulation. The sooner
It 1s out of print tho- better for the world.
The signs of the times would Indicate that
even now It U becoming In tome localities , a
back number.
Have you ever seen' the ornamental blblo ?
No ? Well , there arc many of them In
Omaha. These bibles tins always kept In con
spicuous places. They are well bound , well
cared for. In short , they are a good deal
like marble statues , stone men. They look
well , are expensive and last a long time , but
they never speak. Th blblo on the center
table may bo of thatuklnd. The limp back
book that j-ou carry on Sunday may bo of
that sort. To decorate with flowers shows
good taste , to deccratft with flags shows
patriotism , but to decsrato with a blb'.e , shows
hypocrisy.
There Is still one other tort of blblo very
much In use today. I hardly know what tc
call It , unleis It be the carpenter's b b'e. Men
go through It with saw and ax , and wherever
they find a text that they can ute on the
theory they are building , they cut It out and
appropriate It without much reference to Its
connections. Such a bible may bo very
convenient , but not very helpful. Mr.
IJeecher used to say that such a bible was an
arsenal , where a man took a chapter for a
gun , and another for powder and a text for
bullets , and when he had rammed them Into
his gun , he aimed It at a Presbyterian , Meth
odist or Baptist , and then touched It off with
the fire of his own Imagination , and , crash ,
down came a creed. If such a bible was
over of any benefit to the race , Its day Is
surely past. These bibles are very numer
ous. Whole denominations will have no
other. They are not common tense bibles.
\Vliat sort of bible does the world want
today ? What will be accepted as common
sense ? It must be first of all a trustworthy
book. The world has no use for a bible that
is dependent upon critics to go through It
and tell us what Is true anl what Is false.
Men will not accept a theory of astronomy or
chemistry or geology unless they believe It
to be true. We will not put conflJence In a
man who tells the truth sometimes. He must
be truthful. We do not want-a bible that
contains the word ot God , hut a blblo that
Is the word of God. Common sense would
s&y that If God has made a revelation to
men , It must be a perfect revelation , because
God Is perfect. Common sense demands a
bible that U intelligible , not a blb'.e written In
'he style of the German philosopher. Heglo's
leflnltlon of an Idea , when he says , "An Hea
s the course that the notion as the general-
icss which Is singleness determines Itself to
ho objectivity anj to the opposition against
he came ; and this externalnes , which has
he notion to Its substance , through Its im
minent dialectic brings back Itself In the sub-
'ectlvlty. "
What an Idea !
Or even as Mr. Herbert Spencer apaln , who
ays that life Is "Tho definite combination ol
licterogenous changes both simultaneous and
successive In correspondence with external
coexistences and sequences. " Alas for poor
'Ife !
In contrast with this , common sense wants
a blblo that can say "Come unto me , all ye
' .hat labor and arc heavy laden , and I will
; lvo you rest. " This Is our bible.
The world wants a bible that Is adapted to
ts needs. Men are In darkness ; the bible
must be a light ; they are in sorrow ; It must
speak words of comfort. The key that fits
the lock Is the key to the lock. The bible
hat answers to our every call , and adapts
tself to our every want and circumstance IB
lie common sense bible.
Such Is the bible that 1ms stood the test o
the ages. Such Is the bible that , like Its
Author , Is "The same yesterday , today am
forever. " Such a bible Is the gift of God to
lost man. Such a blblo we may have.

Fisher , who resigned the charge on Juno 1
Rev. MacAyeal , waa chaplain of the sen
ate at the last session of the legislature
and prior to that time was pastor of the
Congregational church at Cambridge , Neb
He Is a young man , of fine presence , a
forceful speaker , and has the reputation of
being a church builder , the kind of a pas
tor of which the Plymouth church Is Just
now In great need.
Rev. MacAycal's Inaugural was more In
the nature of a plain talk to the people
with whom ho has been called to labor
than of a set sermon. Ho said that ho
did not want any misunderstanding with
his congregation. Ho proposed as pastor
to preach the Word , and saw no other duty
before the minister of today. TKo Injunc
tion given In the text was one of the most
solemn adjurations In the blblo. Life was
a solemn thing at best. Ho had no sym
pathy with that view of life that demanded
nothing but pleasure and enjoyment. The
best life was that which had the burdens
of Its fellow men. The noblest life ever
lived was that of Jesus Christ , that had
rested upon It the weight of the burdens
of woe caused by the sins of the world.
The speaker could not understand how any
minister of God could enter the pulpit and
oreach anything not contained In the word
of God , the word that had from Christ the
seal of eternal verity.
There was danger In new eras , said the
ipeaker , and In the temptation of ministers
to neglect the word of God In the selection
of their texts and sermon matter. There
was a natural Inclination In man to the
orize , and therein was the danger to the
church. Teachers In the schools , while they
might employ new methods , were held to
the established text books In teaching math
ematics , history and sciences , explaining
the principles that had been established for
centuries. There was the same need that
the teacher In the pulpit should stick to
the principles of truth that had been the
foundation of church and ot civilization
and bad been working for good down
through all of the ages. "In these days , "
he said , "congregations demand eccentric
ities , and preachers accommodate them , but
the preacher who passes Into eccentric
preaching loses his hold on the Word of
God. In this the congregation has a respon
sibility and a duty In keeping the preacher
close to the bible. "
Hev. MacAyeal closed his address by urg
ing his congregation to Join with him In
building up the church , In conformity with
the established line for carrying out the
plan of God's work , as laid down In the
book of books.

Elijah Haltord , Gentelman : No one would
iatc fulsome flattery more than the man
vhose name here appears. But the Pulpit
conies neither to bury Caesar , nor to praise
ilm. Buffer , however , a few points that
nay not be without profit to the youth of
his burg. Here Is a man who has gone
hrough two professions , each of which Is
supposed to be so crowded with temptations
hat a man cannot bo a Christian and sue-
: eed , and has come out with garments un-
ouchcd by fire , or smell of shame. You ,
ny young friend , think that your business
> rcvents you from being a loyal church mom-
> er. All the way up the ladder ot Journalism
climbed this man , from newsboy to editor ;
all the way up the scale of politics ascended
his man , from ward worker to being the
chief Instrument In effecting the nomination
of a president ; tailing through seas of smut ,
compelled to mingle with rogues , thieves and
Blackguards , and yet , amid all , and after
all , n sincere Christian. What do you think
of that ? "To be a church member disbars
you from success ? " Would that you could
see John Wananmker. merchant prince , man
aging the largest Sunday school In Philadel
phia , or Benjamin Harrison , walking on Sab
baths to hU meeting house to teach his
class , or Clem Studebaker , active In the
counsels of his church , or John V. Farwell ,
cadlng merchant of two continents , and
most Interested of church men , or a host of
others I might name.
"Yes , yes. But I don't want to be a stick
a Puritan. " Say , did you know Halford ?
A happier , more genuine , a fuller man , you
never met. Replete with humor , sklllfullcst
of raconteurs , loathing cant , bright , tunny ,
most companionable. Can you name a half
dozen old roues of this place who HU this
Sill ? For on hour you might have listened to
his Jokes , his sallies and his stories , and
you would feel like you sipped champagne ,
but at not one moment of all that time
would your mother or sister have blushed
had she been present.
Just reflect a moment , young man. Here
Is the editor of the Indianapolis Journal ,
chief editorial founder of the Chicago Inter-
Ocean , manipulator of the national repub
lican convention that brought out Harrison ,
private secretary to the chief executive , dis
bursing agent of the Bering sea commission ,
a man cultured , traveled , experienced , who
during'his two years' stny In Omaha rarely
missed a midweek prayer meeting , worked
hard at building and teaching a Sunday
school class , actively participated In the
Young Men's Christian association , and was
the best all around "good fellow" that the
writer ever knew.
Anjl now , young man , go on with your
Sunday club life , your dirty story telling ,
your profanity , your contempt of all churches
your strong admiration and feeble Imitation
of Ingersoll but know that there Is another
road to political popularity and to social
victory.
A Word with Mr. White , Chief of Police
My Dear Sir : You are witnessing much talk
In newspapers and elsewhere In this city ,
from which one might gather that the cit
izens of Omaha care nothing for you except
as a bagatelle between factional sections.
Suffer the Pulpit to say to you that for al
this partisan word war about you the people
have only a feeling of deep regret that It
should occur. We care not who brought you
whether A. P. A. , or Roman Catholics , or re
publicans , or democrats. We believe that you
are capable and honest. What we want you
to do Is to enforce the law. Before your
face Is too well known walk through the sin
city by the riverside and see for yoursel
the abhorrent defiance of all law and de
cency In this place. Watch policemen hob
nobbing with harlots and mark the city's
agents of law sheltering crime. See for
yourself that the Slocum law Is constantly
and openly violated. The entire policy of this
city has been to arrange with crime and note
to suppress It. If , as some threaten , you are
only to stay a few weeks , wll | you not make
those weeks memorable for all time in Omaha
because- the law has been enforceJ ? Some men
can only become famous by fraud and wrong
I you have the rare opportunity to become a
national celebrity by simply doing your duty
Wo ask you to do no fanatical or foolish or
cruel thing ; don't smear anybody with pitch
and burn them ; don't make speeches ; don'
afllllate with cranks like the writer of this
letter , but Just simply enforce the law. Yoi
have no right to obey the Board of Commls
sloners , nor the council , nor any one else
when their orders are contrary to the statute
You will have hard work to do your duty
without the co-operation of those who ough
to help you. But try It. Issue orders tha
any violator of the statute against disorderly
houses or unlicensed liquor selling or gam-
bllng be Immediately arrested. Do tills foi
one month and then If they turn you out
there's a large number of Omahans wll
know the reason why. But if , under you
things are neither better nor worse than before -
fore , we , the people , care little whether It's
you or another that Is drawing the salary.

We'll IIml out pretty soon. Shirts will be sold much cheaper
from now on at cost , or even at a loss. Can't sell lovely Shirts ,
of a big assortment ( at such pitiful prices as we mention this season )
