A Mormon camp .metng at Lake anawal [ That is I about as definite In Idea t the aver- age of the unghurehed holds concerning the gathering of the "Reorganlz1 ' Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints , " a the ofcial title reads. Those who visit the camp meeting from curIosity to see a lot of long- haired cranks , whce tendency to a plurality of wives I only restricted by fear of the law , are doomed to disappointment. For the most part the camper are simple , honest , sedate , country people , and the serv- Ices are as de\'ohl of semisfitionalism ns the scntonllsm Westminster catechism I must not be In- fcrred , though , that , there Is nothing of Inler- cst going Gn. Every day there Ire three sermons , and some of the pulplteers , upe- chilly those booked for the evening service , are brilliant and brainy enough to entertain any audiEnce. The presence In the city of so many of this pecular church causes many InquirIes and : discussions 13 to what they really do believe. The most satisfactory answer Is their creed Itsel whIch Is 1 rather interesting bit of theology. I Is : \'e believe In Ood. the Eternal Father , nnd tn His Son , Jesus Christ , and In Jho Holy Ohost. We believe that men will be punished for their own ama and not for Adam's trans- srebslon. 'Ve believe that through the atonement of Christ all men may be saved by obedience 10 the Ilw/ and ordinances of the goapoi 'Ve believe that these onlnlnceg are : 1. Faith tn God and tn the Lord , ) , Jesus Christ. 2. Hepentance. 3. Baptism by Immersion for the remission of sins. 4. Laying on of hands for thc gif of the Holy Ghost. 6. \'e believe In the resurrection of the bed ) " that the dead , In Christ will rise first , and the rest of the dead wi not live again until the thousand years are expired. G. We believe In the doctrine of eternal judgment - mont , which ProVides that men hal be Judge , rewarded , or punished , according to the degree of good or evil they shall have done. ' \e believe that a man must be called of God and ordained ( by the laying 01 of hands of those who are In AuthorIty to entiflo : him to Preach the gospel and administer - minister In the ordlnnnces tbereof 'Ye believe In the same kind of organization - ton that existed tn the primitive church vlz. , apostles . prophets , pastors , teachers , evangelists , etc. We believe that In the bible Is coltllned tht word of God . so far ns I Is transllled cdFiectiy. We believe thai the canon of scripture Is not ful' ' , but that 00 < . by His spirit , will continue to reveal His word to man until the end ot time. 'Ye believe In the powers and gifts oC the everlasting gospel. vlz. . the gif < of faith , discerning . of spirits , prophecy , revelation , healing , visions , tongues and the Interpretation - ton of tongues , wisdom , charity , brotherly love , etc. We believe that marriage 15 ordained of God , and that the law of God provides for but one companion tn wedlock , for either man or woman , except In cass where the contract of marriage II broken by death or transgression. Consequently we believe thai the doctrines of a plurality and a community of wives Ire opposed to the law of God. 'Ve believe that In all maters ot contro- versy upon the duty of man toward God and In reference to preparation and fItness ftness for the world to come the word of God should be decisive and the end of dispute < , and that when God dlrecls man should obey. ( We believe ' that the religion of Jesus Christ , al' taught In the reljlon Testament scriptures , wili , I Its precepts are accepted and obeyed make mea and women better In the domestic circle and better citizens ' of town , county an,1 , state . beter clzeng better fitted for the change which cometh at denth. 'Ye believe that men should worship God In "spirit and In truth " and that such worship does not require a violation of the constitutional law of thc land. The sermons delivered arc all along these lnes , and are so far hewed quite closely to I the theologIcal line. The title "reverend" Is not known among them and "D. D. " and other sacred appendages are lopped off , and the preacher Is at best an' "elder. " The Mormon bible Is used , this being practically the same as King James' edition , but revised , and corrected by Joseph Smith , who claims to have acted In this work under the special - cial Irsplraton of God , who labored on it I from 1830 to 1833. I , Yesterday morning JUdge H. J. Hudson of Columbus , Neb. , who for years was In the ministry , gave an interesting narration of personal experiences. In the afternoon Elder S. Butler of Fonta- ache , who for yeas resided In Council Duls : , gave his many friends an opportunity to sea whether he could talk gospel as well as ho used to talk shop. At 5 o'clocl a number of converts were immersed - msrsed In Lake Manawa , the first religious I Immerson ! In the history of the lake. Wednesday afternoon at 4:31 : o'clock the scene will bo rteated. , Last evening Elder R Etzenhouer of Independence - ' dependence , Mo , preached. At this morning's service Elder J. F. 1ln- , tum of Nebraska City will preach on "Con- dltbns Under Which the Meek Shall Inherit ' the Earth " At 2:31 : p. m. a Sunday school convention will be held , and In the evening there will be a 'rmon by Elder Mark II. Forscutt of Nebraska City , one of the mot scholarly men In the denomination. his subject will _ . be "The Devil _ _ . ConQuered. , " TiE SAND"'ICI COU'ANY'S EXnnlT Corn Sheller usidliomy Press Meikers Attract Great Attention nt J'nlr. The SandwIch ManufacturIng company Is doIng its full share toward making the Nebraska - braska state fair interesting as well braskl Intorestng wel as profit- able 10 the thousands of visitors. Minager McDonald and his co-laborers have arranged a great exhibit of their corn shelling and hay pressing machinery , and they are enter- taming the crowds by showing everything In actual operation . The farmer Is receiving practical lessons In economy by being shown how easy It ts to bale twelve tons of hay 1 day with 1 press that sells for the price of less than ten ton presses. The presses are being run by both here power and steam. There are many new features In the sheller sheler goods that catch and hold the attention of the farmer. These machine are all In active operation , from the light running little hand sheller on lp through the varying horse power to the ponderous steam machine whose cav- erous maw yawns lor corn by the carload. The SandwIch people display a full line of all their goods. This Is the fortieth time they have come before the people In the name of the original Sandwich. No jobber has been able to get hold of dollar's worth of their product. The Omaha exhibit of the Sandwich I much lager and finer than that made at Des Moines last week. I was the center of attraction at the Iowa state fair and they want to more than duplicate I for their Ne- braska friends. The door Is always open and a hearty welcome always awaits all.

Judge Maey handed down a decIsion In the dIstrict court yesterday , which was very rem- Iniscent of the good old times when the prohibitory law was In full force , and ' beer , whisky and all other intoxicating liquors were fit only to be cst out and trodden under foot of men , or Incidentally to b drank. The Irug Brewing company sold Anton and Dabara Derneeker several hundred dollars' worth of liquor and Dernekor paId for part of it. le gave a note for $20 and a mortgage - gage to secure the payment of the rest , but before the note became due concluded he would not pay It. The brewing company I commenced suit for $2tO , but Dernecker fought the claim , setting up a . counterclaim - claIm the sum of $314 for money which had already been paId out for liquors. The case was tried A few days ago , and yesterday Judge Macy deckled In favor of Dernecker , declaring the note and mortgage paId , and gIving him JUdgment for $314 In addition .

The evening was hot and the meeting wu consequently shgrt The committee of the whole made a report - port recommending that repairs be made on the West Broadway paving 'by means of cia- ders. Sup rlnlendent Dmmock of the motor company had agree to furnish 100 loads free and Ed Burke another hundred at 40 cents a load. The report was concurred In and the work ordered done under the super- vision of the street supervisor. There was found to be a Ilterenee In the grading estimate and the bill of Contractor Kline for the grading of Third slreet. I was referred back to the committee on streets and alleys for doctoring. The engineer was Instructed to lay a new floor on the Sixth street Indian creek bridge. An adjournment was then taken until next Monday evenIng , and the council reconvened as a committee of the whole to discuss the differences between the i cat end citizens and the motor eomrany. W. A. Maurer stated that ho and the other members of the citizens' committee hurl had a conference with the directors of the motor company , and found the company had been building new cars , buying new motors , anl were disposed to do what was right. He asked that the committee be given thIrty days longer In which to arrive at a settle- meat with the company. Drown and Shubert of the council wanted to make It sixty days , but their motion to that effect was unanImously - Imously voted down , with only two trln'ng ex- ceptions . and on motion of Greeshlelds the thirty days were gran tel as Iske : .
