' The congregation of Trinity cathedral had
ho pleasure ot listening yesterday to lilshop
atllispaugh of the diocese of Kansas , who ,
previous to his elevation to the episcopacy ,
officiated ns dean of Trinity parish. Thcro
was a largo attendance at the morning
Bcrvlco nnd preliminary to his discourse
( Bishop Ullllflpaugh took occasion to briefly
express the pleasure that ho experienced In
thla opportunity to look again Into the faces
of his former friends and parishioners. He
cilso heartily congratulated the church on
account of the fact that It had succeeded In
securing Hev. Dr. Fair aa Its dean and
urged the members to give Mm that loyal
Biipport and fellowship which they would
receive from him ,
Following this Introduction Bishop Mllls-
jrnugh spoke briefly frcm the text , 'Mle hath
nhown tlioe , O man , what Is good , and what
doth thu Lord require of thco but to do
justly , and to love mercy and to walk humbly
with thy God" Ho said that ft man was
liappy or unhappy In this life In proportion
as ho yielded himself to God. When God
demanded perfect obedience from Adam lie
did not ask too much. He only demanded
that ho should not make himself miserable.
For this obedience ho was to obtain Im
mortality for himself and his descendants.
When wo compare what he was to give with
what ho was to receive , It was apparent that
God asked but little.
The speaker declared that those who grow
most Inthe service of Christ admit that they
fall far short ot the unreserved consecration
that He requires. It was not too much to
lone nil for Christ. For If we cast away
dross with one hand , wo rccclvo a pearl ot
great prlco with the other. If the sacrifice
of the flesh gained the happiness of the
spirit , did man lose much ? Even If we lese
llfo and obtain the peace that tiasseth all
understanding wo gain much. Wo lose the
shadow that Is fleeting and gain the sub
stance that Is eternal. What God required
of men was as nothing in comparison with
what Ho might have required. He might
toavo left ns to walk In darkness. He might
liavo left ua wounded and with no balm for
the wound.
The bishop contended that the text pointed
the only sure road to happiness. If he
wanted happiness ho could only secure It
T > y walking lth God. If he wanted a
cheerful and contented spirit It could only
oo secured In the same way. Love made
Ills service a delight , for hli yoke was easy
and his burden light , and man's place In
the celestial family was regulated toy the
closeness with which 'ho walked with God
while ho was on earth.
After the offertory 'Dean Fair made an
extended announcement of the services for
the week and through the Lenten season ,
and also earnestly expressed his appreciation
of the loyal support ho had received from the
members of the congregation in the work
ot the year. Ho had como hero a stranger ,
ibut ho now felt that his relations with ills
congregation wcro those of devoted friend
ship. Hie had received every assistance that
ho had asked. It had been given loyally and
cheerfully , and for this ho felt most deeply
Indebted.

Services of unusual interest were hold yes
terday afternoon at the Church of St. Philip
the Deacon. Illshop Mlllspaugl * . who first
organized that parish , preached the sermon.
Ho expressed his pleasure hi returning to
the church ho had been privileged to estab
lish and gave a short account of the found-
Whllo ho was pastor at the cathedral he
observed that there were many colored people
ple in the city who seemed to bo without
any church homo and ho resolved to pro
vide for them In some way. The first step
was the organization of a Sunday school ,
to the first meeting of which three little
ragged colored children came. This school
grow very rapidly and soon an old church
was rented and regular church services
wcro begun. And from that beginning the
church lias grown to one with ninety com
municants.
IJlshop Mlllsraugh spoke feelingly of hav
ing baptized In his arms many ot the mem
bers ho recognized In the choir and con-
greg-itlon and he earnestly uskeil the mem
bers to give their heartiest support to a
work that the Lord had seen fit to prosper
BO greatly.
Ho spoke on the theme , "Choose Ye Whom
Yo Will Follow. " It Is a wretched sight ,
ho said , to see a man whoso heart Is past
the deslro to repent , a man who hates thin
world and does not hope for a better. Such
a mon has had moments when becoming a
child of God depended upon his own will ,
hut he let them pass. It Is human pru
dence to grasp God's first offer of forgive
ness. Choose whether you will serve God
or the world and there Is no question about
liow to decide In thla matter , for no sane
man will deny that the rewards of right
eousness are preferable to those of sin.
At the beginning of the Lenten season ,
ho tald , each onu should consider what lie
can do for God , and ho urged If you can
do no moro than offer praycra offer them
with all your heart. Ho careful of your

Dr. Gllchrlst was greeted at the Central
' "United Presbyterian church yesterday morn-
lug by n good-sized congregation. He spoke
very convincingly on "Contrasted Condi
tions and Processes , " taking his text from
1 Cor. 1 , 18 : "For the preaching of the
cross Is to them that perish foolishness ;
hut unto us which are saved It Is the power
of God. "
When Paul apolco these words to the Cor-
inthlane , said Dr. Gllchrlut , ho fully unilcr-
ctood the claps ot people h was addressing ,
News of contentions among them had
reached Paul and ho addressed them with
the purpose of securing spiritual unity. The
Corinthians pretended that they wore di

basli of moral character. There were men
of all classes In Corinth. Romans , Jew
01 recta , In March of culture , merchants
plcaKuro-Rcckcre and sensualists wcro there.
It was to thin varied people that Paul
brought the ( separating power of Christian *
Ity. He Ignored the divisions of rich and
poor , high and low , hnppy and unhappy ,
and tried to cetablUh a division not gov
erned by things of the world ,
Dr. Ollchrlst explained that In our day.
as In the time of Paul , there arc contrasted
condition ! ) ; thcro are two elements , one op
posed to the Rospcl and one upholding It ,
and In each clement there Is a progressive
force. Some men think that when a man
has acknowledged bis Savior he has only
calmly to await eternity. This Is not true.
The dlvlno purpose In man Is never com
plete , for Oed IB continually working In
mnn , A man cannot be at a standstill In
cither hoi In res or sin ; the true Christian
becomes better all the tlmo and the sinner
becomes worse.
Wo are transformed by our Ideals , he said.
The man nho holds n lofty Ideal ascends to
It , .while the man with a base Ideal descends.
And what a noble Ideal the gospel ot Jesus
Christ presents to us , Some men arc being
saved , not si ) much because of the strength
of will , but because conditions steady and
advance them. Others separate themselves
from society and books and sink willfully
Into a disregard for sacred things. Men who
have lived arlglitly find their minds moro
open to Ood's Institutions than In childhood ,
while others have minds that have fallen
below this receptive state and are blunted
to spiritual things.
It Is not our place to say of the man who
struggles against the Infirmities of hla char
acter that ho Is not worthy of the name ho
bears. yMa Is not Chrlstlikc. When did Ho
dlseourngo n sinner or doom one to hope-
lessnres ? Wo must see the world as It Is
and not as wo Imagine It la or would have
It. Let us see It as a world full of possi
bilities for good.
Men of today arc not different from thcso
of Paul's time. Some scorn the gospel and
sink Into sin ; others love and reaped It and
are preparing for eternity. But the lovers
of truth must not fail to progress , for the
soul Is not saved till It has como to realize
the fullness of thedlvlno truth.

Inw iMovcim-iii IN XrccNNiiry.
Ttiat the Intense progrcsslveness and ad
vancement of the world In all branches of
science during the past century Is tending
to remove men from close contact with God
Is a conclusion that Uev. K. A. Warflcld of
the First Congregational .church reached In
a sermon ho preached yesterday morning.
To counteract this hostile effect ho endeav
ored to enlist Ills congregation In a move
ment of an opposite character.
Ilev. Wacfleld said that during the 100
years which are drawing to a close an almost
revolutionary change of opinion Cias occurred
on every Important subject. In physical sci
ence , for Instance , matters which wcro mys
teries at the opening of the century have
become as simple as the alphabet. The theory
of the conservation of the
energy ; undula-
tpry theory of light , heat and electrlcltj ;
the new development of geology ; the doc-
trlno of natural selection and origin of spe
cies upon which is laid the basis of evolution
In such theories as these the remarkable
change of ideus during the centuries Is
shown. In the presence ot this cliongo the
human mind has become more flexible and
lees opposed to now innovations , and the
search foe truth and new forces has become
a passion.
The same changes are to bo noted In the
realm of religion. Time-honored creeds
have been losing their force and obliga
tions which once laid heavily upon men are
more easily Ignored and are losing their
Influence. It has come to be thought right
to puncture every belief with a question
mark , as if the truth -were not settled. In
this movement toward frca and enlargfvl
thought the existence of God Is oven ques
tioned moro and more but the preacher
said that this unbelief Is shared still by so
row that It Is not dangerous to the Chris
tian religion. Ho said that there is a too
profound feeling that the regulation of the
orderly movement of the universe requires
a wisdom greater than tl.at of mortal man.
Hut while the thought of the century Is
not entirely extinguishing God ana a the
oretic belief in His existence is In force
among men , yet the preacher asserted that
real belief In Him
has become more rare
and that the progress of the century has
tended to remove men from Him until con
tact Is felt to bo becoming almost impos
sible.
sible.Whllo
Whllo this Is true of much of the world ,
the preacher nevertheless paid that another
movement can bo discovered that another
class of thinkers are bringing God nearer
to men. Itellglon is being made a practical
thing by them. This is being brought about
like the advancement In all science.
All progrofs In science and thought during
the century has been Intho direction of sim
plicity. Only fifty years ago astronomers
looked at the heavens and thought It was oil
cfiaos and confusion. Now they understand
that there is a divine order in all celestial
bodies that there Is no chaos , but a perfect
system. It Is the same In the science of reli
gion. In the early part of the century clouds
of mysticism surrounded the Bible , but
these hive now nil been brushed away and
the book I ? now regarded as a volume which
throws a light upon the practical duties of
life. It gives a gllmpso of how God touches
men in a practical way. And belief in GoJ
can only result from a firm opinion tlaat God
touches man.
The preacher said that God comes In con
tact with men In everyday life and pro
ceeded to show how , In the first place , It Is
through his Inner Impulses , through his
conscience , which was defined as the
shadow of God falling upon a man's soul.
By the convictions of this conscience man la
able to recognize peed and evil , tils duty to
his neighbor , truthfulness and righteous
ness. In this way through -the conscience
God oomcs In contact with men. If they dis
obey their convictions , they are dlsoboylcg
Him. If they obey them , they are following
Him. Another proof of God's contact Is found
In the enthronement In ttio heart of an affec
tion for Him which will lead the possessor
to ony personal sacrifice.
The great way , however , by which God
touches men , continued the speaker , Is
through Christ , the commanding figure of
all history. Ilia Jlfo and teachings , without
regard to their meaning , nro recognized by
all as facts , and all iccognlzo that the dlvlno
was In touiJi with Him. The explanation of
Iho prompt obedience of Ills followers dur
ing His lifetime , and their mighty works , Is
found only In the fact that God became real
to him through Christ ,
To counteract the ovll Influence of the
ointiiry In driving men from God , therefore ,
: 'i * preschor pointed out that meci must keep
In touch with Him In the three ways pointed
out by obeying the dictates of their con
science , by love of Him , and by following
Christ's preccptt ! ,

There Is ono department of the exposition
which has been working to add to the at
tractiveness ot the great fair , but which
has made very little noise up to this time ,
presumably oil the theory that when the re
sults ot its labors nro realized they will con
stitute the noisiest section ot the entire en
tertainment. The department referred to
Is that which has to do with concessions ,
which In these latter century days has come
to mean , when applied to an exposition , a
part of the "Midway. " It may bo remarked
that the name "Midway" seems to bo ac
cepted as tbo proper designation ot that
particular section ot the exposition which Is
devoted to amusements which are out ol
the ordinary. Several attempts have been
made by the management ot the Transmls-
slsolppl Exposition to change this name ,
but no other has beer found which seems
quite so apt , and It will probably bo called
by that name to the end.
It Is not cnustomary to close contracts
with features for the Midway far In ad
vance of the opening of the expedition , as
few of them arc of such a character that
they require a great deal of time Tor the
erection of their building and installation.
For that reason It Is only recently that the
closing of contracts has commenced In
caincst , and but a short tlmo will elapse
until the entire composition of the Midway
will bo definitely known. Up to this tlmo
the main object of thu department has been
to secure proposals from desirable parties
who deslro to Install attractions.
As propositions have been received which
seemed especially desirable contracts have
been entered Into with the projectors and In
this way a number of concessions have been
lot which form an Index of the probable na
ture of the attractions which will make the
Midway one of the most popular spots on the
exposition grounds. It may bo stated with
authority that the Midway of the Trans-
misslssippl Exposition will bo ono of the
most complete and attractive resorts of the
kind which has ever formed a part of the
modern American exposition. Nothing will
bo lacking which the pampered taste ot
connoisseurs decrees Is necessary In thla
modern addition to great naticoal fairs and
some ot the finest and most artistic effects
will be seen that were ever Installed at any
exposition.
BEST OF ATTRACTIONS.
Owing to the policy heretofore referred to.
there are not a great many contracts which
have been closed , but the character of these ,
together with the character of those which
are being considered , Indicates that the Mid
way will be occupied by the high class at
tractions which the experience of other ex
positions teas demonstrated to be the best.
There will be several villages , but only
thoco which have proved to be desirable.
Previous .Midways have been encumbered
with alleged villages which proved unremu-
neratlvo and a nuisance , but the villages on
the Transmlsslsslppl Midway will bo of a
high claeB. Contracts have been closed for the
Moorish village. Streets of Cairo , African vil
lage and Chinese village. The architecture
of each of thcso will be of the class peculiar
to the nationality depicted and this , of iteclf ,
will bo a most Instructive feature.
The Moorith village will be one of the mot
extensive concessions on the grounds. It
will show a group of Moorish houses with
native Inhabitants and illustrating the modes
of living peculiar to the people ot that land.
The paraphernalia will bo gorgeous and cor
rect , depleting the Oriental richness pecu
liar to Its people. In addition to this feature
of the village there will bo several adjuncts ,
Including a "mirror maze , " a palace ot il
lusions and a wax gallery of wax figures In
which will be represented historical and al
legorical scenes. Several other features are
also under consideration In connection with
this conceeslcii , which will add to Its at
tractiveness and popularity.
The Streets of Cairo will be another spot
on the Midway which will doubtless attract
the attention of visitors. This village will
bo distinctly oriental in Its character and
will populated by the people from the
sunny clime of Egypt. The dally llfo of
thcso people will be constantly In evidence
and many of their picturesque ceremonies
will bo reproduced with exactness. A group
of dancing girls , executing the Naulch danccn
and certain others of the strange gyrations
of these people , which have been dignified
by the name of "dance" will doubtless pos
sess attractions for people ot an Investigat
ing turn of mind.
The Chinese vlllag" will be In evidence
and the ear-iDllttlrig music and alleged sing
ing of the almond-eyed beauties from the
Flowery Kingdom will attract great atten-
tlcn. There will bo dwelling houses and
bazaars , restaurants and theaters end op
portunities for witnessing the sly tricks of
the "heathen Chlneo" will not bo lacking.
As in other villages , the national dances
will be strongly in evidence.
SOME OTHER FEATURES.
The Afro-Americcn village will noa = ess a
certain air of familiarity for those who have
lived In the southern part of this country.
The llfo of the negro in the south before
the war will bo depicted In the most vivid
manner and the numerous dances with which
the Jolly , rollicking "niggers" were wont to
posa their hours of leisure will be rendered
with every detail , The progress made by
those pec lo will also bo diown aad the vil
lage will be decidedly educational in its gen.
oral nature ,
In addition to the villages enumerated ,
them will be numerous other attractions ;
contracts having been clcscd with the fol
lowing : Shooting the Chutes , a wild animal
show similar to Hacgenbeck's famous show ,
a scenic railway , n Wild West &bow , the Big
Hock , NIglU and Morning , a cyclorama , end
a concoss'nu known as Rolling the Roll.
Shooting the Chutes , the wild * aalmal
show and the Wild West show ara too well
! < nown to require any description. It Is announced -
nounced by the Concessions department that
lieso attractions will all be conducted on the
ilshcijt plane.
The Scenic railway will bo a small rail
way with open cars largo enough to carry
adult pabscngcra and will pass through tun-
iols , over mountains , across rivers and
through canyons , the scenic effects being
produced by means of palnttaga with natural
foreground.
The nig Itok will bn a representation of
a huge rock and upon entering It the visitor
will finl himself In a largo cave opealos
onto a mountain ravine , Whllo ho lu gaz
ing about him two girls will appear on the
opposite side of the ravine and descend to
ward the spectator. Reaching a platform In
.lie rocks , they will execute a number of
dunces and disport themselves for the en
tertainment of the onlookers. Whllo this to
; olng on a thunder storm \\lll bo stimulated
jy means of eleptrlcal effects and vivid
flaalmi o ( lightning will Illuminate the
scene. As the glKa turn to run up the
mountain side tlio path by which they came
will bo turued to a rushing torrent of water
and his Satanic majesty will etep from the
earth nt their side , At the same tlmo the
lowers which cover the ravine will bo turned
Into writhing snakes and the whole scene
will bo cno ot horror. Electric effects of
startling nature will follow In quick tuc-
creslon and the girls will ehrlek end pray
'or mercy. When It seems that the culmina
tion of destructive power baa been reached
quiet will bo restored and the show la over.
LATEST ADDITION.
Night und Morning Is ono of the latest
addition * to tbo Midway , the contract for thla
attraction having been clceed only a few
days ago. Hosry Itoltalr IB tbo projector of
thin amusement aul ho Is reputed to be ono
of the mott expert manipulators of optical
Illusions and scenic effects In tbo country.
Ills concetiilon will occupy a pyramid HO
xUO feet on the ground and 100 feet In
Height. Upon entering tbo pjrarald the
vbltor will reach a labyrinth , which will
cnjago bio attention for come time at * ho
seeks an outlet. Wbcn It lo finally found
tie will find himself la a realistic reproduc

floor the visitor will aicend to the third

he- will fnd the "hcarroly cafe. " Just what
this may be passer-the comprehension of
an ordinary mortal. UUU.Mr. Roltolr promises
that It shall bo a placeof great attractive

Although the newly appointed general su
perintendent of the exposition , A. C. Foster ,
has not had time to familiarize himself with
the duties of his position , a question has
arisen. In certain quarters regarding the
scope ot his authority and the claim Is
made by certain ones that ho Is simply the
superintendent of the Department of Build
ings and Grounds and has no connection
with , or authority over , any other depart
ment of the exposition , The advocates ot this
construction are generally believed to ba
actuated by well understood motives , but
the report of the special committee ot the
Board of Directors , under which thin ap
pointment was made , cloirly shows the In
tention of the board at the time the execu
tive committee was given positive instruc
tions and defines the duties of the general
superintendent as fully as possible without
going into minute detail. The report of the
special committee to whltli reference is
made was made November 15 , and was
adopted by the Board ot Dlrectom without
a dl'sontlng voice and without discussion
The full report Is as follows :
To the Hoard of Directors ot the Trans-
mlsslsslppl nnd International Exposition :
Gentlemen Your special committee , ap
pointed tit the meeting- the board held
on November 12 to investigate nnd report
upon the question of the appointment of a
director general or some other supervising
ofllcer , to promote the energetic completion
of the arrangements for tlio exposition , begs
to report us folloun :
Your committee has held an extended con
ference with the executive committee and
discussed the entire situation ns fully an It
was possible to do tne president of the ex
position and nil members of the executive
committee belnp present , nnd Is pleased to
report that n substantial consensus of opin
ion was eventually arrived at , that the pres
ent situation does not seem to make it nec
essary tlmt the office of director general be
created nt this time , but that the work of
all the departments might be energetically
pushed perhaps more satlsfactorllj- by
nny other arrangement by the appointment
of a general superintendent , a practical
builder , nt a maximum salary of $200 per
month , whose olllce nml headquarters should
bo upon the exposition grounds and who
should be placed In charge ot all work in the
line of construction of any or all of the de
partments , with the express duty oC over
seeing ana pushing all such work to ener
getic completion. As the greater proportion
of the work would be In the Department of
Huildlngs and Grounds It would seem ad
visable to your committee that the nomina
tion of such nn ofllcer should bo conceded to
the manager ot that department , but that
such nomination should be approved by the
executive committee in the usual manner.
Your committee has had under considera
tion certain amendments to the by-lnws
touching the powers rind duties of the presi
dent , but has not had sufllclcnt time to con
clude Its deliberations on this subject , and
would ask that it have further tlmo to con

from Denver are to the effect that the In

to como. Governor Adams announces that
he will be unable to come on account of a
prior engagement for Washington's birth

ties will bo represented In the mining ex
hibit , each county being asked to contribute
$100 to defray the expense of making such

WATER MAINS ALL READY
Exposition Manngemont Has Taken Time

NOTHING TO DO BUT TURN ON WATER

UlllllllllRH Will IIO
Snfc.
The turning on ot water at the exposition
grounds will relieve the exposition manage
ment of one of the most embarrassing pre
dicaments which has been encountered lu
the entire history ot the enterprise. The
question of water supply 1ms been n moat
vital Issue since the beginning of active
work on the grounds. Numerous plans have
been suggested for securing water from other
sources than the water company , but all of
thcso plans proved futile when fully Investi
gated and It was finally conceded by all
who had given the matter any attention
that the only practical plan was to have
the water supplied by the water company.
When this conclusion was reached action
was commenced to bring about a favorable
arrangement with the water company to
supply the necessary water. The events fol-
lowrig | this decision arc too recent to ro-
qulro repetition.
Recognizing the fact that the settlement
of this matter would probably consume con
siderable time , the exposition management
went ahead with the work of putting In a
complete system of water mains , lire hy
drants , house connections , etc. , and this
is now ready for Immediate use as soon aa
connections are made with the mains of
the water company Wherever a street was
available the water mains were laid in the
proper place to bo available for use after
the exposition shall have passed Into history.
As the land occupied by the main court and
the old fair ground tract has never been
platted or laid out with streets and alleys
the mains wcro laid where the streets will
pass whenever this property Is platted.
The location of the fire hydrants will af
ford ample fire protection to nil parts of
the grounds. In the mnlu court hydrants are
stationed both in front nnd behind the main
buildings nnd In the other parts of the
grounds they are placed at frequent Inter
vals , so that the danger from fire is reduced
to the minimum. The exposition authori
ties do not Intend to rely solely upon the
fire protection supplied by the fire hydrants ,
however , but preparations have already been
made for supplying the exposition grounds
with all the most Improved appliances for
fighting fire. Portable fire extinguishers nrc
already distributed in all of the main build
ings and one largo chemical engine is sta
tioned in the main court and Is manned by
three members of the Omaha fire depart
ment. Arrangements have been made for
the purchase of hose wagons , chemical en
gines and various other apparatus ot the
latest pattern , which will be installed oh
the grounds at convenient points. The de
tails of these arrangements are largely car
ried out along lines suggested by Chief He-
dcll of the Omaha fire department and he
will have general charge of the fire patrol
of the grounds.

"Muelc Is one of the great attractions at
an exposition , " said Louis M. B.illonbors at
the Millard last night. Mr. Dallcnberg , a
resident of Cincinnati , Is hero representing
the interests ot the Bellstedt Military band
of that city and Is himself a musician of
considerable renown. "Everybody likes It
and therefore should have it , " continued he.
"Visitors to a great exposition like that
which will undoubtedly be held la this city
crow tired after a time of nothing but lght-
Ecelng and they wish a relaxation. Thia Is

brought away with him was the muclc. It
was free as 'ho ' air and the programs were
rendered by famous organizations. After
tramping over the grounds of the White City ,
the people , I noticed , would seek a shady
spot tnd there listen for hours to the melody
of Sousa , Scldl or some other bandmaster's
efforta. Omaha should not forget this fea
ture. I understand that nearly all the best
binds in the country have made offers to
the exposition maragcrs , but as yet nothing
has been done in this regard. It will not dote
to defer action on this subject too long , for
It must bo understood that the maintenance
of ono of thcso bands Is most expeaolve. Our
organization alona numbers sixty perform
ers , amcag which wo have ten high priced
specialists , A manager of such an organiza
tion as this Is very anxious to make his en
tire bookings for a season before ho starts
his men out on the road. All the large
bands , of which there are really only four 'n
the United States , will soon have their
routes scheduled and It behooves the exposi
tion mcoagers to move In the matter If they
care for the services of any of them. "

At the Grace Baptist churcfi last night
Itov , John 0. Staples spoke of the Idea of
atonement which t > i so prominent both In the
Christian and Jewish religions. Ho compared
the "Day of Atonement" observed by the
Hebrews with the one great atonement
offered by the founder of Chrlstlaclty.
"We hear It said that Ido principle of vl-
carlouu atonement Is not preached nowa
days , " said Me. Staples , "but It IB really the
central t'rutli of the Christian religion , It
runs through the Bible llko the scarlet
thread through the cordage of the DrltUh
navy , Even In tbo earliest days It was writ
ten , 'Without the shedding of blood tticro
Is no remlsRlon. ' In those days the high
I-cBt | watt once a year to the Inner court
of the temple to offer atonement for the clnu
of the people. On the Day of the Atonement
the priest wag given the entire labor of mak
ing the sacrifice , for which fifteen beasts
were slaughtered. After ho had purified Iilin-
self ho coet lota upon two lambs , killing ono
And reserving the other. The blood of tbo
a'.aln lamb was then sprinkled before tbo
altar and over tbo head of the other , or the
scapegoat , the priest confessed the sicis of
the people. In the tame manner has Cbrlit
made sacrifice , for our sins and lias boruo the
penalty for our tranaereealous.

For three-quarters of a clollnr wo can Boll a man a'

or stiff and in aa many as seven different styles. Ho
can have it in several different showers of rain. For
one dollar we can sell him a bettor hat a quarter

dollar and fifty cents wo can sell him our great Ne
braska Special the three dollar hat in disguise.
Ever hear about it ? No ? Well , almost any well-
dressed man you meet on Farnam street is liable to
have on one. Yon can't tell it from a three dollar
hat except in the matter of change. You got § 1.50
change. Another great hat is our § 2.50 hat. Many
a man who buys it thinks he's getting a four dollar
hat by mistake. They come in Derbys and Fedoras
and in almost any shape you may name. Wo also
have a three dollar hat. It is the linest hat wo can
find. If it should happen to be run over by a street
car it wouldn't ' bo hurt a.particle , ( the car ) . Our
hats at four and five dollars are the same as anybody
else sells for four and five dollars only we sell them
for three. We don't think they're worth moro than
three. See ?
