Bishop C , C. McCabe occupied the pul
pit both morning and evening yesterday at
the Broadway Methodist church. His
visit hero was to assist In raising funds
to meet the debt of $20,000 which the con
gregation Is carrying on Ita building. His
visit was In the main successful , as a large
sum of money was raised at the two ser
vices which will bo devoted to liquidating
the interest on the debt. In the mornlnir
Illshop McCabe took hla text from Dxodus
x , 8 ; "Let them make a sanctuary that I
may dwell among them. " He said In part :
"Thcro woa a tlmo when In all this world
there was no church , no temple or any kind
of edlflco of norehlp , neither on the con
tinents nor on the Islands of the sea , Noth-
Ing in the way of a lomplo or church , and
yet mon worshiped , They began to wor
ship at the very beginning and kept It up
for twMily-flve hundred years without the
nld of churches. They built altars , rude
structures built of the cheapest materials.
They were built with tholr own hands
about four ffot high , four feet wide nnd
about four feet in length. Yet they con
secrated these humble structures and made
them plocwi of prayer. They wore the
mooting placej between souls and God.
There he met them. There he bleeccd
them. Wonderful scene , have transpired
at tht e altars , one of which was Abra
ham's talk with God. God woa well pleased
with the work of these humble people and
he said unto them ; 'Into whatever laud
yo may go and build an altar In ray name ,
I will coma there , I will write my name
there and bless you there. ' When the
children of Israel got Into the wilderness
God expressed a desire to have a better
place of worship. He toll Moses to go to
every man , woman and child and take from
them whatever they were willing and able
to gtvo toward the building of the Ubor-
nacle. To tbU appeal the people responded
with mich wonderful cnthuntjuim find
brotight so much material that Moses wan
embarrassed by It. He had more than
enough and was forced to tell the people
not to give any more ,
"I should llko to bo a messenger once In
trying to got the debt of our church raised ,
to bo able to tell the people of thU coun
try not to glvo any more to the church ,
thtt It had more than enough missionaries
nd money. That tabernacle was the wor
shiping plnoo of man for seven centuries.
Have wo lost any of thin ancient onthusl-
nsm ? Of course wo cannot build ono torn-
plo for a nation now. Wo must build one
that Is In roach of our homes BO that every
man can attend the touao of God It ho will
and no are building them with wonderful
rapidity. In the last thirty years wo have
built enough houses of prayer to soot
four and one half million people , and w
are building them stilt. In the year I860
you could have bought all the Methodist
Episcopal churches for the sum of
$31,000,000 ; It would take $160,000,000 to do
It now. Our church property has Increased
$129,000,000 since 1SGO. Does that show that
the people have lost any of their ancient
enthusiasm ? I think not. Mothodlstn are
now building house * of worship at the rate
of four churches every day and the Protest
ants are building thorn at the rate of seven
teen every day , so I think that the wilder
ness enthusiasm Is stilt upon the church ,
Wo are still willing to make sacrifices to
furnish the houses of prayer. "
Here Bishop McCabe related the story of
how ho raised the debt of $35,000 on a
church In Jackson , Mich. , inside of a month's
time. Continuing , ho said :
"I think this was just another CMC of
ancient enthusiasm. I do not wonder that
hero you have been almost discouraged on
account of the ponderous debt that has been
on you so long , but take cheer and say that
you are going to got through It. The en
thusiasm that these people had In the
wilderness will pay It. Everybody must do
somethingWo must have $2,600 hero this
morning. This will pay the Interest any
how. You must not feel disheartened this
morning , but glvo this $2,500 with the sense
of gaining a victory. "

Democratic Chief , It in Said , AVoulil
Like t < > lie Sheriff.
Chief of Police Blxby still persists In his
denial of being a candidate for the demo
cratic nomination for sheriff , although his
friends continue to claim that he Is a
candidate and that the majority of the
delegates to the county convention elected
Saturday nlsrht arc for him. It Is under
stood that Chief Blxby has a yearning am
bition to be sheriff of Pottawattamle county ,
but Is afraid of making the race this year ,
as It ta generally conceded not to be a demo
cratic rear , and ho Is not over-anxious to
bo led out Mko a lamb for the slaughter.
There seems to be but little doubt , how
ever , that his name will come before the
convention. The rank and Die of the party
in the country districts are said to be for
John Hazen for sheriff and will fight hard
for hla nomination.
The latest rumor In connection with the
nomination for state senator is that U will
go to Rev. J. R. Speck , the tree silver
apostle. For state representatives the
names of F. Iletzel of Avoca and Waircn
Hough of Crescent are most prominently
mentioned now.
Brooks Reed , at present city treasurer , it
4s said , will have a walk-away for the nomi
nation for county treasurer , there being no
one else In the party desirous of entering
the lists against William Arnd , the re
publican nominee.
The name of Dr. Seybert of this city was
mentioned In connection with the nomina
tion for coroner , but It Is understood now
that Dr. A. Wyland of Underwood Is elated
for the nomination. Prof. H. W. Sawyer ,
the present Incumbent , will undoubtedly be
honored with a renomlnatlon. For the nomi
nation for county surveyor M. Rawls Is men
tioned and L. P. Judson appears to bo out
of the running. If he will consent to run
the nomination for member of the Board of
County Supervisors will be given to Syl
vester Dye of Macedonia.

The hearing of the Injunction against the
city council secured by the Magic City
' Electric Light company Is set for hearing
before Judge Fawcctt of the district court
today. This Is the case where Judge Faw
cctt Issued an order restraining the city
council from passing an ordinance repealing
the franchise ordinance granted to the Maglo
City company last April , Some tlmo ago the
judiciary committee of the council had occa
sion to look Into the details of this ordinance
and found that the franchise was granted
nnd the bond given by the company accepted
I before the articles of Incorporation had been
filed. According to the statutes , the articles
should have been filed prior to the request
for a franchise. For this reason the Judi
ciary commlttco recommended the passage
of an ordinance repealing the franchise. This
repealing ordinance was ready for the second
reading when Us progress was blocked by
an order of the court.
In the upholding of Its position In this
matter , the council has deemed It advisable
to secure additional counsel to assist City
Attorney Montgomery , nnd Frank Ransom
has been retained for this purpose. Con
siderable Interest appears to bo taken In
the case , ns the city Is prepared to put up a
strong legal fight to have the Injunction sot
osldo. '
It is understood that there will be no diffi
culty about the Maglo City company securing
another franchise In case the court holds the
first franchise Is not legal. The Idea appears
to bo to straighten out a tangle which Is
liable to cause trouble later on.
School Ho nr il Open * Dldn Tonight.
Tonight the Board of Education will meet
In adjourned session to open bids for the
erection of the proposed school house nt
Twentieth and 0 streets and also bids for
supplying the schools with coat and kindling.
All bids for the construction of the scnool
building must bo accompanied by a certified
chock for $150 as an evidence of good faith ,
while with the bids for coal a check for $25
must bo sent. In both of these cases the
.board reserves the
right to reject any or
nil of the bids. Some lively bidding Is ex
pected , especially on coal , as there Is con
siderable rivalry among the local dealers.

Obntrnctlon * on the Sidewalk * .
There Is one city ordinance to which
little or no attention Is paid , and that la
No. 27 , referring to the obstruction of streets
and sidewalks. Merchants doing business
in the downtown portion of the city have
grown very careless of late about allowing
packing boxes to occupy a large portion of
the sidewalk In front of their stores. By
the terms of the ordinance a epaca of only
four feet from the building line Is allowed
for the display of goods. Articles placed
outside of this line are deemed an obstruc
tion , and storekeepers permitting
an ac
cumulation of boxes , etc. , beyond this limit
are liable to arrest , and a fine of $10 for
each offense. Chief Carroll admitted yes
terday that some of the merchants were
very careless in this respect and it is pre
sumed that steps will be taken to enforce
the ordinance so that the sidewalks from
the four-foot line mentioned to the curb
may ba kept clear of obstructions.
Think It n IIIK Town.
A treat many strangers have visited the
cits- within the last week , the majority being
fror. the country. One of these hornyhanded
sons of toll drifted Into a druc store on
N street the other day nnd after calling
for a soda water commenced to talk about
the size of the two Omahas. lie supposed
that the two cities were ono and remarked :
"Awful big town , this ; guess It's as big as
New York and Philadelphia put together ,
ain't it ? " The druggist nearly fell dead , but
managed to stammer out some sort of an un
intelligible reply. During the conversation
which followed It developed that the stranger
had ridden from Ames avenue to N street ,
and an unbroken line of buildings for ten
miles was more than ho could comprehend ,
A great many visitors do not realize that
Omaha and South Omaha are two different
cities with distinct and separate city gov
ernments.
Democratic Primal-ten Tlinrnilny.
On Thursday of this week democratic
primaries will be held In each of the four
wards to select delegates to the conven

democrats have been getting together since
the last urtmaries and It Is hardly probable
