The party loft on the 5:10 : train , over the Hock Hland road. Mr , T. P. Nugent accompanied Mrs. Tweedy on the Journey. The funeral ceremonies were a depju-turc from the regular order of such occasions , llcv. I ) . C. Franklin , prcsldlng-clder of the district , said that , to liU mind , the highest tribute of love and honor that could be paid to an Individual was tlio testimony of his friends , as to his goodness , and the place he occupied In their hearts. Accordingly he nsked each of the seven ministers present to glv * live-minute testimonial addresses. The fccrvlccs wcro very befitting for such nn ocea- Blon , and with the mingled tears , there was a feeling of Joy that relieved the oppressive sadness that usually prevails on such occa sions. Mrs. Tweedy Joined her volco with the others In Iho chorus of "Sweet Bye and Bye. " The church was filled to overflowing , many friends from Cresc9iH being present. Tht > lloral offerings were many and beautiful , nnd the church was appropriately decorated. Those prcwcnl from other charges were : llcv. C. H. Kawsett of Little Sioux , Hev. James Sims of Silver City , nev. Gi L. Goodell of Dow City , la. , and Rev. A. P. Courey of Manilla , la. , who was formerly pas tor of the Fifth Avenue church. These min isters , with the Methodist ministers of this city , acted as pall bearers : Interment will take place today at Brooklyn. A I.lhriiry In One llonlc. It Is related of the Emperor Nero , who wan almost tigerish In his thirst for blood , that he once expressed the wish "that all Homo had but one neck so that he might sever it at a single blow ! " Many a poor and ambitious student in his ardent thirst for learning and scantiness of resources , has In llko manner felt the desire that all knowl edge were In one book , that ho might master it by persistent reading. Never In the his tory of literature was the student's wish more nearly realized than It Is In the mag nificent reference work , the New Hcvlned Encyclopedic Dictionary , of which a limited number of copies arc now being distributed hero by the Midland Monthly. The adver tisement elsewhere gives notice of this dis tribution and Its easy terms , but any Intellectual - -loctual or reading man would bo delighted to glance through these four bulky volumes and ECO the wonderful scope of the matter they contain. Hero there Is a perfect dic tionary and encyclopedia combined In one. For example : the definition of "appendicitis" covers a full.half column , noting the causes , symptoms and treatment of the malady In detail , whllo such very recent discoveries as the Roentgen or "X" rays , and such late In ventions as Mr. Edison's "Vltascope , " are given with a completeness that places the reader absolutely abreast of the times. It Is the same with every definition In law , mcd < Iclnc , engineering , art , architecture and the various sciences , so that It really carries out the Idea of being a library In ono book , anil for all practical purposes , Is a presenta tion of all human knowledge. The Midland Monthly also has a great edu cational adjunct , which la being given free at the present time In connection with the Encyclopedic Dictionary , and which will bo fully explained to those who will fill up and mall the coupon in the large advertisement.

Indictments wcro found against William Brown and Jake KcsEcll for robbing Christ Hltdcbrand , the Idaho miner , and against Brown and bis wife , Rosa Brown , for conducting a house of lll-renute , where Hll- debrand wan robbed. Indictments were also found against Harry Wrat for lewdness and J. J. Crouo for statutory assault. Crowe is a saloon keeper , well known In the city , con ducting a place on Lower Broadway.

I'rcsldcnl Gales' address waa iiillc | lengthy. The speaker made a very favorable Impres sion and the let-sons ho sought to Impress upon the youthful minds weic equally lilted to the older heads In the audience. He made an especially strong effort to Impress lion the pupils lhat they had nol finished heir education , had not even reached the oorway of the great palace of learning , and ic ridiculed the custom that led High school itipl's to ape the names and manners of col- ego and university atuJeuta. In the main , 10 said : Christianity hns as yet mndc only n. slight out on Ihe original paganism of man. A Ighl conception of Ihe direction and ex- ent of progress will be best arrived at by oiiHldcrlnB It from that point of view. Ttiero Is no ono word that defines Chrls- lan civilization more accurately than Hie vord progress. If wo consider Ihe Ideal or Iho race which Christianity Propose * , ho present outlook Is discouraging : If , how- ver , we remind ourselves that Christianity began with slark papnnl m for raw ma- urlal , and lhat Ihe history of the last 2,000 years Is made up of patient working of hat discouraging Bluff toward Jesus' con ception of the human race , there la much n the present oullook lo give us hearty cheer. l > i ogress Is unsteady. We go round and round , history more or less repealing llself , but each clrcull lakes us a llllle higher. We should expect schools to be a lltlle conservative. They should naturally teach vhat has been achieved. It Is well so , for vhnt UFO can Ihe past bo lo us unless its 'mils can be food for us ? True conscr- nllsm , however , musl Ihrow away .1he umber of history as It nathurs malerlal 'or Us nexl slop forward. Genuine progress s ever fundamentally evolutionary , and sometimes necessarily revolutionary In Its ncthods. Hul Ihe next step forward , lo jo permanent , musl rest always on his toric ground. If schools are naturally con servative , they have , nevertheless , trained he emancipators and builders of the race. Many a malernal Inslllititon of learrjjns , IB she watched the amazing use miuie of her Instrucllon by her children , must have rubbed her sleepy eyes and wondered how I happened lhal she hatched out those ducks. Growth , change , with Its corollary of irogress , lhal Is. growth In tlio right dl- ecllon. Is the measure and lesl by which .0 judge movemeuls , Institutions and men. Unless these have been dlreclly or Indl- reclly contrlbulory lo progress let them bo anathema. This Is our measure of judg ment. The -wise who would serve their generation will seek flrsl of all Iho appll- callon of this measure > lo find where on Ihe scale of divine progress we ns a race have arrived. What Is Ihe call lhal speaks out of Ihe twenlieth century lo us ns Americans icre nnd now ? There wns a Frenchman named Chuuvln who Ihought so much of Franco and so little of every other people that his name Is a by-word In language. Chauvinism means contemptible national concerl , which. If possible. Is worse lhan personal concerl. The American need nol expose himself lo Ihe charge of Chauvin ism If ho trlea reverently to discover an answer lo "the question , what Is the voice of God for the Iwenllelh cenlury ? Even great Englishmen llko Glnrtslono and Bryce say lhal civilization Itself for the next .WO years hangs on America.Responsibility Is ns terrible as It Is glorious. If Ihere be minds or voices or per.M in America Ihey never had more urgenl call to service than today. today.WHAT WHAT A SCHOOL , SHOULD BE. The function of the true school Is the training of lenders for Ihe Insks of the years before us. This Is the test by which Ihe school shall be judged. The leader ship which our ago demands musl possess above all a moral quallly. II must possess an ethical quality marked by three Ihlncs Inlelllgence , the ability to feel find sym pathize , nnd will. During the last presi dential campaign I inlked wllh n banker who said ho should vole for free silver allhough convinced lhal his vole wouli boagainst hU personal Interest. I talkei with a farmer , who said he would vote for McKlnley , although ho believed It to bo talnst his prlvalo Inlorcsl. These Iwo men I honor nllko by Ihr measure of my appreclallon of that stalwart citizenship which In Ihe responsibilities of a republlcai democracy will cast Its vote for Ihe Renera good us agalnsl private Interest. America Is far from being God's nation until Ihls high standard can be et up and maintained National selfishness Is no betler than per eonal selfishness. The twentieth cenlury will bo nn era oi character among nation * . The most en thuslnstlc American can hardly believe tha our nation Is pure enough to be- offered as a sacrifice for the race. _ The grandest ex perlment In democracy the world has yoi seen. It Is still quite possible for us to maki a ghastly failure.'o have nol always done national right. We are sinners In norc need of repentance. Wo have been ProuJ of our material wealth. It has puffed us up wllh pride unlit , as Matthew Arnoli well said , wo are "too beastly prosperous. ' The great nations of the earth Imvo nenilj always none down when nnd because the ; were rich. Ix"t us confess thai In many rohpcclD wo have sown the wind In lotllni the municipal politic * of our great cltlee < lilft Inlo Iho control of Iho power of money Not a syllable against money Itself urn Its rlshl use ; bill when money sols Itsel nil to lord It over a nation and stark naked mlulocrncy claims the rluhl lo dictate thi affairs of a sovereign people , at that poln wo should begin to reap the whirlwind , MUST COMB THROUGH EDUCATION Put leadership Into the great Industrie army of America even If il should irathe within Its ranks only Iho 3,000,000 iinem ployed men today , nnd events may happen which will servo to bring us to our na tlonal senses. lxt ? an ethical Na ) > oleoii arise a moral Konnpartc , a Christian leader , whc dnrcs to appeal lo conscience , rig' 1. luatlce brothorllness , fair , kindly nnd helpful llv Ing and dealing among men. Them mus bo a now birth In human 'society ' , I slam bcforo you In Iho name of Christian cditca lion , nol to argue out solutions of presen day problems. They can all bo put uncle one problem , whether wt > rtlll have In ou nation the divine life on earth or not whether we will perpetuule human slrlfi or whether we will have human brother hood. Wo arc moving Inlo years lhal are lo xco a greater chaniro In iiurnun Ihough and In Iho social organization of Iho na lion and the raca than any reform the worli has yet seen. Doing u llltle betler will b > no means mcel Ihe case. KolhliiR short o divine regeneration In the near IK of men will enable tliem lo keep slep wllh GCK In Ihe twentieth century. At such a juncture. In the foremost of th nations of the earth , llh tliu opportunity of power Biich as no nation ever before ha ] stands the Christian school and college. 1 men are to be sharpened Into keennera o mind only thai Ihey may go out In cut th throats of tlielr fellow men , metaphorically by seeking selllsh advantage. America ! wealth should understand that * hn Amer lean college has no more need of its money than money hns need for the Chrlstlai college. If this nation la to bo saved to Its divine mission young men and womei must be trained In its schools of learning no lhal they will as wholly live to eav their oountry as the men of a ceneralion U O ( Ibrd. .n.M sNonnr.iu.v.s FAMILY wo us.

JamSnodderly allcmpled yeslcrday to j choke his wife to death or into a proper state of respect for his authority , and eho fled from her lltlle home on Vorhls street at 3 o'clock to escape her husband's vengeance. She hid In the woodshed of a neighbor's house Just as an officer called there to make aomo Inquiries. The neighbor woman ac quainted the officer with the unhappy con- dltlon of Iho Snodderly family , and that the general verdict of the neighbors was that Snodderly was Insane. This opinion was con curred In by Mrs. Snodderly and she con sented to fllo an Information for her hti8- band'n arrest upon thai charge. He was brought bcforo the Board of Commissioners for Iho Inrano and the inquiry conducted until ' 6:30 : last evening. The commltolonera found the man to be Buffering from serious nines ? , and listened to a long storj of his domeatlc affairs. A number of witnesses , In- eluding Mrs. Snodderly. were examined with out establishing the fact of the mans In- eanlly. Mrs , Snodderly Icsllflcd that ho had never been right mentally since , no was drugged and robbed In Omaha last fall , and that ho had made no effort to contribute to his own nnd his family's support since then. She showed the commissioners a deep black and blue ring around her throat , which was torn and bleeding , where Snodderly had ap plied his fingc-rs yesterday nftcrnoon. It was so plainly a bad case of domestic Infelicity that the commissioners did not feel Jusllfied In making the order sending the man to the hospllal for obsorvallon and nifdlcil Ireatment , although they wcro told by Mrs. Snodderly lhat she would nol remain In Iho house and care for him any longer ; lhat she was weary of supporting her hus band nnd her husband's father by workIng - Ing at the woshlub nnd receiving only abuse und cruel treatment to recompense her for ceplng two men In Idleness. The husband nd wife were finally brought Into Iho pros- nco of the commissioners togelhcr and given omo good advlco and sent home. The voman , however , emphatically declared that ho would nol go home , but In the fulnre voiild take care of hcraclt and let her hus- and do the same. A year ago when Ihe city water works rossure contest was on the water works com- any employed Snodderly to hold ono of the hort nozzles that were used by the com- > any. The nozzle got away from him nnd In he struggle to regain II Snodderly had his arm broken. Shortly nflerwards he began ult against the company for heavy damage , Uefore the Giilt came to trial Manager Hart made Snoddcriy nn < offer of $500 In full satis- action of his claim for damage. The offer vas accepted and the cash was paid lo Snod- lorly one Saturday afternoon. Snodderly did not go homo to eupper and before 10 o'clock hat night ho lost every dollar of the money n a crap game. A short time after he ecurod $50 by the endorsement of the at- orney whom he had engaged to prosecute a new suit against the water company , and vhlch ho assigned to his wife. Snodderly Islted Omaha Iho evening he came Into possession of Ihls money and for several days vas reporled to be missing. Ho finally found ilmsclf near the river north of the smelting vorks , wllh his money gone and a slrange 'cellng in his head. The police discovered .hat the man had been drugged and robbed. INFORMATION A1IOUT SUGAIl MEETS. Secretary JmlNoii HUN Plenty of It fur the Ijucul 1'nlillc. Several weeks ago when several promoters of a beel sugar factory In Ihls vicinity came over from Omaha and held a meeting In the council chamber of Ihe city , at which were irescnt a number of Council Dluffs business nen and members of Ihe Merchants' ami Manufacturers' association , a commltlee was appointed lo look after the Council Blurts end of the enterprise and get all of the In formation possible upon the subject of beet sugar making and sugar beet culluro. The iroposltlon of the Omaha people was to es- .abllsh.a factory near the western end of Ihe East Omaha bridge that would have a ca pacity of 350 tons of beets per day. This committee has been at work , and Secretary Judson has collected a mass of Information jpon the subject. He has prepared an Item ized statement of the expense nnd returns , and the experience of H. C. Graves & Sons. who last season cultivated forty-one and one- half acres of sugar beets on their lands ad joining the city and shipped the product to the factory at Norfolk , Neb. The test made hy Graves was a scientific and careful one and the results can be taken as a safe incas uro for the future. Secretary Judson has token the statement of the results and In corporated It In a circular which Is belug distributed by Ihe Merchants' and Manufac tuners' association. It shows the actual cos : and returns from the cultivation of the fim crop of sugar beets ever raised In this vicinity as follows : COST.

THE HARRIAGE OF THE BOOKS ; ? Apart from what is termed "Sacred' ' literature , two great books have always been found necessary to busy and progressive men. To the j ! artisan and farmer as well as to the student , trader or professional man these | two are fountains of Knowledge , weapons of success and gardens of mental en joyment we need but name the Dictionary and Encyclopaedia THE BOOK OF WORDS AND THE BOOK It was a happy thought of the scholarship of recent years that these two should be .made one , that henceforth and forever the inquirer might find in a single work all the world has accomplished in Thought and Fact. It was a mighty un dertaking. Nearly twenty years ago the work was begun. Learned editors and specialists were employed on it by the hundred. Such men as Huxley and Proctor were among those who bore a hand. Nearly were required to meet the expense. But the work has been done and well done. The two are become ONE. For all future time the student or inquirer will find the whole circle of human knowledge stored in THAT BOOK OF BOOKS THE ENCYCLOPAEDIC DICTIONARY REVISED TO JANUARY 1 , 1897. Printed from now plates never bcforo on tlio press , containing thousands of tlio very newest words nnd defini tions , including the latest coinages of 1800 ; a magnificent array of SUPERB COLORED PLATES In 17 colors , nn < l dozens of single and double-page engravings in monotone in all rnoro llmiT seven hundred additional illustrations. THE PECULIAR VALUE Of the work lies in the fact that It is at once an exhaustive dictionary , and a con- prehenslvo , tip-to-dato encyclopaedia , cov ering every field of knowledge. With tills splendid set of four volumes nt hand ono Is always fully equipped not only regarding words , but also with an ex haustive store of knowledge about thousands of topics in every branch of human thought und endeavor.
