EDMISTFJ'S ' EARLY SERVICE His Direction of the Last Legislattua ia Eecallod Just at Present. EFFECT OF THE RECOUNT LEGISLATION Tlircc Men Who Sonnlit o AUncli n I'cnnHy to llic Hill Mnilu o Keel the Korce of Someone * * Power Tlil Kail. LINCOLN , Oct. 22. ( Special. ) A portion ( [ of the popocratle stationery Is stamped In j led letters "Legislative Department , Dl- looted by J. II. Kdmlstcn , " but none ot the circulars mention the ballot recount scheme In which Chairman Edmlsten got BO much notoriety , and none of ( hem tell why the Inst fusion legislature was afraid to attach a penalty to the recount measure to pre vent tampering with the ballots. Quito probably the man who "directs the legis lative department" now was In active man agement of the same department during the session , and had personal reasons for not wanting the penally clause In the bill. At any rate , through some good manage ment the fusion majority was almost unani mous on the subject. It will bo remembered that the flrst re count bill became useless because ot the In junction Issued by the district court to pre vent the further counting of the ballots. A few days later the popocrata Introduced another bill , known as house roll 632 , to tuko Its place. ThU bill was printed and went to the committee on privileges and elections , the same notorious committee that had performed In such a summary manner In the Douglas county contest case. The committee rushed the bill back to the liouso with the recommendation that it ba advanced to a third reading. ICIllcrt tlto I'ennlty. By turning to page 826 ot the House Jour nal it can bo seen , how anxious the pops wore to have things done honestly and have all guilty persons punished. In the debate It wns pointed out that there was no penalty In the law for any tampering with the ballots or fraudulent count , and the following amendment was offered : Any member of such committee , or any clerk employed by such committee who shall In any manner tamper with the ballots or with anv ballot , or who shall makn any fraudulent count , or who shdu count anv Illegal ballots , or who diall alterant to do any of these thlnss. shall be KUlltv of ft felony , and ou conviction thereof be con- lined In the ccnllcntlarv not morn than live jears or less than one year. The amendment was snowed under , only three fuslonlats being In favor ot It. The fact that two out of those three failed ta receive rononilnatlons this year Indicates that { he "direction of the legislative depart ment" was assumed by Edmlsten before the nominating conventions were held , and t'uat a rebuke was administered to the men who dared to vote contrary to the caucus rule on such a risky matter. Their Clnlum Don't Ilnlnncc. In their catcb-as-catch-can campaign the etsto officials are having a good deal ol trouble because tbo figures In their cam paign circulars do not agree with the cam r paign cards that are sent out by the officers. . Kor Instance , a folder was Issued tslllns ol the great and good deeds of the sta'e ad ministration , and a part of a page was de- \oted to thu auditor's omco , showing how much ho had "saved. " At about the sam ( tlrao Cornell Issued sorao cards. A com parison of the figures on the circulars make ; I thn following showing : Circulars. Curds.

It Is a fact , however , that the reform ho pretends to liavo Instituted was really , brought about by Eugene Moore. The old ] ' practice was to pay the salaries In advance , nnd Moore made n change so that the vouchers - | ors were Issued about eight days before the | end of the month In exactly the samu man- [ ncr as tbo business is done now. Under Moore's administration ot the office the | only advance payment that was habitually niado was the Item for the governor's house rent , which was always drawn rhree months In advance by the "reform governor. " Cor nell has been glad to adopt Mooro's method of paying salaries , but has claimed It as j his own "reform. " Part of the popocratlo campaign Is based on the fact that they copied some of the methods of Kugeno Moore , and that they applied tbe Hartley steal of $180,101.75 to the "extinguishment of the stnto debt. " With such a system of bookkeeping It Is no wonder that the cam paign figures fall to agree. It Is noticed , however , thnt the other oulclals have made Cornell como down from his high perch , and that tbo auditor now Issues his cards with tbe sldo left blank that formerly \vas cov ered with a mass of Incorrect figures. Hnril IInp nt Ilenl. The Callaway Independent , the lending populist paper of Ouster county , shows up the Mutz "sniffling committee" In gooJ shape , and fhe roast Is all tbo more sig nificant when It Is remembered that the editor of the Independent , E. M. Webb , wns a member of the last legislature and knows many of the Inside facts In the deal that' resulted In foisting the $10,000 committee onto the taxpayers. The Independent says : Wo are not onposlnc Deal because of the mileage he received oven If he did have a pass. That is too small a matter to cut anv figure. Ills connection with the famous "Soft Snan Committee. " which sucked $10.- 000 from the state treasurv. fllllne the Dock ets of each member of the committee with seine ? 1.300 each , should be sufficient to condemn him In the eyes of all men who believe that "a nubile office is a public trust. " nnd that a nubile official should servo the public. Instead of crcatlnc for himself "a private snap. " Deal was the daddv of the "soft snap committee. " Ho was the chan who engineered the scheme through the sen ate nud the account stands , as near as we can ascertain : Oaln to Deal and committee $10.000 Loss to the taxnavers 10.000 That the scheme was hatched out to fur nish a "soft t-non" for Deal and his asso ciates upon the commlth-fl Is amniv nroven by the manner In which thn "Invcstlca- tlons ( ? ) " were conducted , and In * "bene- fltsf ? ) " received bv the state from the bene ficiaries of this $10.000 steal.

HASTINGS. Neb. , Oct. 22. ( Spcclal.- ) TUe lighting of the streets has been de layed. It was generally understood thai when the city council let the contracts foi lighting the city that both the Gas Light company and the Electric Light company would commence work on their part of the contract without delay. The gas company did so and has already put In about eighteen lamps ready for use. but the electr6 ! light company so far has failed to make any move In that direction. Charles Lane , proprietor of the electric light plant , says that the delay Is caused by an outstdo party , who has been negotiating to purchase an Interest in the plant.

( Special Telegram. ) An Incident has Just occurred here which proves that the present state administration has no use for a soldier who Is not a pros pective voter. Len Slcclgs was a resident ol Colorado , but Joined the regiment at Omaha. Ho took sick and on September 27 was dis charged on account of the sickness and from the further fact that ho has a little daughter dependent upon him. Enrouto homo ho was left In the hospital at St. Louts , being unable to como furthei at that time. He reached Omaha a few days ago and wasv sent down here yesterday with letters from Omaha people to the gov ernor requesting transportation to his home In Colorado. The state- officials declined tc help htm , and the governor refused even tc read his letters or his discharge papers. The Relief corps and old soldiers took the cast In hand and sent Sledge to Colorado this evening. It Is believed that the oulclals refused tc help the sick man simply because ho hat no vote In this state and the matter hat created much comment. rounded the Trencher. DRADSHAW. Neb. , Oct. 22.

ENDEAVORERS ARE AT WORK Second Day of the Thirteenth Annual Convention of the Organization ! MUCH INTEREST TAKEN BY DELEGATES l're - Church iit hj-terlnn llnmloniely llecornteil for the Ocennlon DolniiN f H&ci'tttlto Committee. HASTINGS , Neb. . Oct. 22. ( Speclal.- ) The second day's session of tbe > thirteenth annual convention of the Nebraska Christian Endeavor union wns called to order nt 8:30 : o'clock this morning In tbo 1'resbyterlan church. The edifice Is appropriately nnd artistically decorated for the occasion. From the center of the celling troops large stream ers of crimson nnd white , the union colors. The pulpit Is artistically decorated and just above It hang two Immense Initials , "C. R. , " studded with crimson nnd white stars. The first on the program this morning was the "Quiet Hour , " which was presided over by President F. F. Tucker of Omaha. Xeir Arrlvnli Appear. Manv new arrivals appeared at the serv ice. All the close of the "quiet home" Rev. Mitchell of Franklin conducted the devo tional exercises. The subject was the giv ing of one-tenth of one's Income for the Lord's work , and personal testimony was given about Its blessing. Rev. A. J. Turkle of Omaha delivered an address on "Money and the Kingdom , " sayIng - Ing thnc every one handles money , cither earning It or having It given to him. V.'c keep It or pass It to others. It Is a great factor In society , and ns gravitation per vades the universe the iicedu of money take hold on all persons. Character Is largely determined by one's relationship to money and worldly possessions. How { .hall wo bear ourselves aright In regard to money ? Make money without greediness or unfairness ; S.IVP monev without worldllness or pride ; noend It without selfishness or wasteful- nrss ; glvo money without stingi ness , without covctousnCEs. No ques tion Is bo Important as how to use money to strengthen and develop our souls and the souls of others. In thlH ago wo are face to face with money. What wo have comes not from our own Ingenuity and shrewdness but from Him who has given us the faculties and opportunities to get money. Ho needs our gifts. We hnvo no right to refuse it. Miss Mattlo Park of Central City read nn Interesting paper on "Prosperity the Result of Giving. " She eald the first reason Is that tbe gospel would soon be preached to all nations. The second Is that It Is God's law. Pay the tenth as you would observe the Sabbath. It promotes our tem poral Interests. In God's word there are iromlscs of temporal blessings. The personal estlmony of thousands of title givers proves his. Wo should not appeal to a desire 'or temporal gain In money matters. AVe pray for God's blessing In all matters , why not In this ? Men cannot prosper In any- hlng without God's blessing. Therefore , akc Him at His word. An open parliament was had with queries and replies upon the subject of giving to ; ho Lord , and a very Interesting and help ful discussion was had. Rev. L. P. Ludden of Lincoln conducted this part ot the ses sion. sion."One "One Year of History" was the next sub- lect. A review of last year's work as given by the treasurer , F. M. Weltzel , showed a balance on hand of $114.92. Secretiiry'n Itcport. The report of the secretary , Miss Emma Glllesplo of Beatrice , showed 701 societies of record In this state , 11,928 active mem bers , 4,602 associate members ; total , 19,530 members. This Is a gain over last year of eighty-seven societies , 761 active members , ninety-seven associate members , a total gain of 858 members during the year. The secre tary expressed herself as pleased with the year's work , congratulated the societies upon the growth , which Is perceptible In many ways. This Is duo to a splendid corps of district secretaries , who have done so much with the societies In their districts. At the close of the morning session the delegates assembled In front of the church [ building and a. "photograph was taken ol them. At the afternoon session the song service was conducted by Rev. W. B. Leonard of Cozad. Following this Immediately came the address by Rev. J. W. Wilson of Omaha 1 on "Social Christianity. " Mr. Wilson spoke to this effect : "Man Is a social being. U was not good for man to live alone , so fami lies were formed and human society. Chris tianity Is addressed not to man as an In dividual , but to man as u member of po- clety. It is old testament and It ) Is new testament. The present day social problems are Intemperance and. social Iniquity , the race problem , the wage problem , monopolies , labor organizations , divorce and educational matters , Insane asylum problem , hospital ? and politics. "The breach Is widening. Wo do not get to the laboring man. There Is a chasm be tween us. The farmer , carpenter and brick- mason feel ostracized , without friends and looked down upon. The socialist works will : them , and anarchv and confusion await us In 1794 France was racked with this prob lem. Anarchv and confusion overthrow th ( government and revolution and destructlot confront us. "The principle In all these problems It the spirit of the world. Tbo spirit ot selfisl Q rivalry prevails. You might say tu prln. clolo controlling the advance ot ni.ru Is thi survival ot the strongest. It Is 'might make : ' rieht. ' e SclfUhucHH the Itnle. "Selfish aggrandizement Is the ruling pas slon , the principle of thoroughly worldly " i ungodly people. It has been leavened b : Christianity a little , but today it Is th' ' great principle. Christ's principle Is first ' j love ; second , service ; third , sacrifice ; will s Ing to yield help , bend down and carry th burden. "The purpose of social Christianity Is no socialist In the sense of communism. I recognizes the right to property , not tha every man can bo n railroad president banker or cashier or lecturer. It says th < conditions will be maclo such that a mm or woman will be happy In life and home Every man cannot rtae to the highest posl tlon. Ho Is not fitted by nature. It Is no God's Intention evidently , and history show that he does not succeed , Christianity wll make them happy and contented , thougl they cannot rlso to the highest. "Christianity means , first , simple justic : and filr play , labor should get fair wage : the employes should get fair treatment second , to secure benevolence , treat me kindly , look upon women with compasslot consider all mankind as brothers , coneldr the worth of tbo human soul. Chrlstlanlt educates the conscience. 'Thou shall lo\ thy neighbor as thyself. ' " 10 At 2:30 : p. m. tht various committees < ta the societies held , conferences upon the dll " ferent departments of Christian Endeavc work. At 3:45 : the denomination rallies wei 111 held at the various churches. The church was crowded to standing rooi In the evening. Salem G. Pattlson ot Has Irgs delivered an address upon "The lion Llfo and Its Influence. " Dr. Albert 'Buxtc of Falrbury gave an address on "America New Duties" and Rev , E. VanDyke Wlgl of Hastings spoke upon "Christian Cltlzei ship In the Pulpit. " The services closi with the entire congregation slnglt "America. " At the meeting of the executive comtnltt and Pastors' Advisory Board quentloos were discussed as to how the state union could bo I more helpful to the soclelten , the relation of pastor to the local society and as to how the state union could como into closer touch with the pastor and be more helpful to htm. The Idea was to first get a correct list of the pastors of the state In Christian Endeavor societies , sending each the state paper and other literature of proper kind , and make an endeavor to quicken and help them In Christian Endeavor lines. Treasurer F. M. Wcltrcl of Albion pre sided at the evening service. The devotional services In the evening were led by Rev. B. M. Long of York. About forty ministers were present and each one took parj. In prayer. The church was well filled , extra seats being provided. The ad dress of Rev. F. A. Bright of Beatrice on "Graduate Department" was omitted on ac count of the absence of Rev. Bright , owing to death In bis family. AililrcN * hy riuer. Mr. Weltzel Introduced John Willis Baer , who snoke substantially as follows : "I wouM llko to tell you If I had the time more about certain matters , that the Chris- tlan Endeavor pledge Is no greater than the pledge of the person who Joins thechurch. . Christian endeavor Implies denominational lovaltv. a denominational society In a local church. Interdenominational fellowship of rndeavorcrs Presbyterians , Baptists. Meth odists. We are all children of the King. We > should set Inspiration. I believe there Is too llttlo none for the boys and the glrte , not cuoueh junior work. We are seventeen ! vears older than wo were when Christian endeavor was born. I plead for more co operation on your part and mine In Junior nndeavor work. Wo want a Junior Endeavor society In every church. Christian endeavor ! Is a widening world-wide fellowship. Every | country save Russia has ltn Christian En- i rteavor eocletv : 5.000 In England , 5.000 In Australia 54.GOO. with a membership of i over 3.000.000 black , white , red , yellow , different In appearance , different In Ian- ullage , serving the same King and carrying the same nlcdcc. "I would llko to speak of missions and what we are willing to do for others outside nt our own land. The command Is to go Into an the world. Wp are able to rend pco- nle to co If we are not willing to go our selves. I would llko to epeak of the evangel istic cart of Christian endeavor. Hundreds of thousands of associate members have not hocome followers of Jesus Christ ; and what are wn dolnc of personal work to save those In the associate list ? Bring them into thn active list and then Into the church. In retard to the midweek service and Sun- dav evening bervlcea , If necepsary better foreet the Christian endeavor service and stick to thn rhiiroh service There Is definite service In midweek and Sunday evening service to bo done , even If It cost the activ ity of the VOUUK people's work. Not many dip of nervous prostration from Christian work. "As to citizenship , Christian endeavor Is .icalnst the saloon , politics , the brothel ; Christian citizenship Is for righteousness. It Is not an attempt to start a new party , hut Is pcrmcatlnc all parties. I wilt epeak of the tenth legion , of giving one-tenth of our Income to the Lord's work , as a return of the much we have been given , and keep ing nine-tenths for ourselves. As to the service that Christian endeavor Is to render to the church , wo are only beginning to understand what God Intends to do with It If Christian endeavor Is true to It. " 1 plead for the < * ct hour , for only flf- tfttn minutes at least , at the beginning of the dav , with Him In communion. Learn to watt on God and hear what He says. Do not tell Him how much you want of Him. Let everything you do come In as a thought from God. Somebody says ho cannot do com mittee work or teach a Sunday school class. Work with God. Work at It all the time and do not give up. It takes many strokes of the sledge to break the stone. Our weak ness can bo God's strength and It will pre vail. "You have heard the cry 'Remember the Malno ! ' I snv 'Remember Calvary ! ' Chris tian endeavor Is a religious organization ; not a literary society. I ask you active mem bers , pledged to Jesus Chrlet , to be cour- aeeous. Men In battle have some courage clven to them : nothing can stop them ; they will din for their country. I ask you to do a harder thine. If I know anything about It. I believe I can die for my country easier than I can llvo as I should for Jesus Christ. Make no compromise with the world. Re member the associate members. Our homo churches and our pastors are looking to you and to me for what ? For service. It needs many a blow of the cork on thi bar of steel to make the steel move. Use ham mer or cork. but. best of all , the spirit of God nonp other. 'Be ye laborers together with God. ' " Killed liy a Trnln. KEARNEY , Neb. , Oct. 22.

GREAT FIGHT IN THE FIFTH Olaire Adams' Ohacces of Defeating Congressman Soatberland Are Good , WINNING NEW FRIENDS EVERY DAY Mr. AiliiniK , Senator Thurnton ami Other Republican Sitenkern Greeted trlth I.urKO nn < l EnthiiBlnitlc AnillcnccN Everywhere. HOLDREGE , Oct. 22. ( Special. ) Ne- > raska Is In the throes of the > lggest speaking campaign In recent years , not excepting the meteoric Hash of Colonel' .Iryan through the state In the fall of 1896. | The popullsta and the allied forces of fusion are represented on the hustings by Senators Allen of Nebraska , Pettlgrcw of South Dn- tota , Ex-Senator Fred DuboU ot Idaho , George Fred Williams of Massachusetts , and smaller fry who make the echoes In the school districts ring with the microbe and j 'ever germ theory as to the sufferings nnd death during the Spanish-American war. Opposed to this aggregation of spellbinders j i are Assistant Secretary of War Motklejohn , Senator Thurston , W. E. Andrews , auditor 'nr ' the Treasury department , Judge M. L. Hayward , candidate for governor , and the several candidates for congress on the re publican all-Nebraska-homo-talent , who ire putting up the biggest kind of a speak ing campaign. The Washington correspond ent of The Bee hns been with Senator Thurston through the Fifth congressional district , comprising the counties of Adams , Chase , Clay , Dundy , Franklin , Frontier. Furnas. Gosner. Hall. Harlan , Hayes , Hitch cock , Kearney , Nuckolls , Perkins , Phclps , Red Willow and Webster , with a combined population of 169,459. The audiences which came out to hear the Junior senator from Nebraska , according to the most reliable In formation , have far exceeded those that have listened to Senator Allen and his associates. Senator Thurston began his campaign at Superior last Monday night , an audience ulilch completely filled the house being present to listen to his defense ot tbe na tional administration and Its conduct of the war , and hU arraignment of the state ad- mlnlsti alien In Its failure to enact long- promised railroad legislation. In talks had with populists , silver repub licans and gold standard advocatcu of Su perior the day after Thurston's speech was delivered there was but one verdict , that the Ffnator had bv far the beet of the situation , the apathy of the fuslonlsts In attending meetings being especially commented upon. Inroniln oil KiiMlon Korcc * . Nuckolls county for years has been a hot bed of populism. A thorough canvass , how ever , of eight precincts In the county shows a caln for the republicans of 20 per cent over the vote for justice of the supreme court In 1897. Captain Clalro Adams of Superior , who Is the republican candidate for congress In this district and who Is making a campaign that has already sent cold shivers down the back of his opponent , Roderick Dhu Suther land , save that If this gain Is maintained In the other counties of the district his election IK assured , In tbe populist year ot 1800 , so far as Nebraska was concerned , with the spirit of Bryanlsm rampant throughout the state and with local prejudice against An drews , the then republican candidate for congress , Sutherland had but 2.711 more votes than Andrews. Now the republican party uf thi * district Is united as It has nr.ycr been befoic. It has a magnificent or- eanlzatlon and Is aggressively contesting every Inch of the district In order to sup port thn hands of the national administra tion In carrying out He policy. Monday evening Senator Thornton vac late tn arriving at Hastings , but he found the opera housu comfortably filled when hs began hla speech , cx-Congresman Andrews holding the audience until the arrival of thn senator at 10:15 : p. m. Thurston at this point told of the elTorts made by Governor Hoi- comb and Colonel Bryan to get the president to muster out the Third Nebraska , and mada the direct charge that It was for the purpos * of securing Bryan's assistance In the cam paign that the governor Ignored the claims of the First Nebraska to muster out , not withstanding that It was first In the field and had seen hard service In the Philippines. Here , as elsewhere In the Fifth district , the senator pleaded with the people to retlro Sutherland and make moro certain a re publican house of representatives by tbi election of Adams , that the victories of thn war might not be lost by obstruction on th * part of democrats. Wednesday afternoon Thurston nnd Cap tain Adams spoke at McCook. This IB a di vision point on tbo Burlington , and Its citi zens are largely employed In the shops and on the road. There was a representative au dience present to hear the Issues of the campaign discussed. McCook has alwayn been a republican city , and tbli year It In confidently believed will give a republican majority sufficient to overcome the populist vote In the remainder of Rod Willow county. There Is also n good chance to eUct a repub lican to the state legislature , tbo populist candidate , L. J. Holland , of Indlanola. belnK nersonallv unpopular , while Dr. Hathorno of Bartlev Is a most reputable citizen , and one of the leading physicians of southwest Nebraska. Wednesday night the opera house at Hol- drego was crowded to hear Thureton .ind Judge Searles of Nelson and the enthusi asm was unbounded , In fine contrast to the wet blanket which the fusion speakers luv run up against In I'helps county.
