Hcdbloon of Stromsburg ; Rev. II , N. Spear ,
Lincoln.
Rev. E. A. Russell , general Sunday school
missionary , made n nplondld talk on "Homo
Department of Sunday School Work. " Rev.
Russell Is noted as ono of the most active
and effective workers to bo found anywhere
In Baptist circles. Illn talk consisted largely
of statistics. He Inclines to figures and lie
showed bow the Sunday school cause linn
expanded during the last year , rot only In
Nobranka , hut In other parts of the United
States. Ills speech , ho over , wa. devoted
principally to the work In this state.
"Out of 480,000 persons received during
the past year Into the Protestant churches
from Sunday schools , " said the speaker ,
" 65,000 wore from the schools conducted un
der the auspices of the Baptist denomina
tion. This Imposes upon us a great re
sponsibility for their teaching and training
for future usefulness. Out of the 12,000,000
Sunday school scholars In the United States ,
1,727,000 are In Baptist schools. "
The speaker also quoted figures showing
the proportion of Baptist Sunday school
teachers lu comparison with the aggregate
number of the combined Protestant
churches , and the shotting was such as to
delight the audience.
Dropping down into Nebraska figures , bo
snld ; "In Nebraska one In thirteen of Sun
day school scholars is in a Daptlst school ,
and of thcso ono In every twenty-five has
during tbo last year become Identified with
the church ns a member. "
From the figures quoted the speaker urged
the Importance of adult attendance at Sun
day schools. Ho thought still greater tri
umphs were to be achieved.
Imiinrtniit Pni'tfir In CliurcU Work.
Rev. A. II , Ballard read a paper on "Tho
Sunday School , a Church Service for What ? "
The general trend went to show that the
Sunday school Is a highly Important factor
In church jvork a stepping atone leading
to better things. The speaker endorsed
teaching as well as worship. He would have
Intelligent worship worship with an under-
itandlng , and he thought the Sunday school
the pi tec to begin the groundwork of tbo
understanding.
A departure from the general routine of
papers and speechea was a talk by Rev. H.
II. Clouso on ' 'Work Among the Klowa In
diana. " This 'came as the feature of the
Home Missionary society meeting which
[ allowed the Sunday school convention ,
flov. Clouso iytl not read from a paper. He
talked just as freely as though he were on
the prairies of his fluid In Oklahoma Instead
of within the walls ot a metropolitan church.
Ho told about how Klowa Jim and other bad
men had been impressed with goapel teach
ing ; ho related stories of Indians who , with
red paint on their faces , blankets about
thorn and feathera In their hair , came to
him for 'baptism. Missionary work , he said ,
had wrought a. wonderful change In the
Oklahoma country and he believed the out-
'ook ' for the future warranted great en
thusiasm ,
A UlfTurciicc In Paint.
Ilev. Clouse Is an entertainer. His audi
ence laughs occasionally dcsplto the fact that
ho Is dealing flth a serious problem. Speak
ing of paint , he said : "Down In our country
the in on do all the painting , while hero In
Onialm painting Is confined to the fair sex.
Hut there Is a difference In the kind of
paint. "
Tin ) speaker said the Introduction of re
ligion1 among the Indians had bad a ten
dency to make them scrupulously honest.
"I know Indians that would dlo rather than
toll a lie , " bo declared. Rev. Clouso Is sta
tioned at Ralney Mountain and bus wide ex
perience in frontier mlsilon work.
Rev. D. D. Proper , who Is said to be ono
of the most learned of all the clergymen
assembled , delivered an Interesting address
In which ho told the story of religion In a
general way. His remarks were confined
to uo specific subject. Ho urged united , In
telligent and vigorous action for the spread
of the gospel In every direction.
Following Rev. I'roper'8 speech there was
an enthusiastic devotional service , after
which the forenoon session adjourned , Mauy
of tbo delegates and visitors accepted
"Undo Boston's" Invitation to go to the
Wobstcr street station and see ono of the

The afternoon cession was given up to
discussion of foreign missions and on this
subject the women had a decided monopoly
of the time. The mission meetlnR opened
with a committee report by Rev. It. I *
Home. Thcw came Ilev. H. 0. Rowlands ,
I ) . D. , with an address In which ho dealt
generally with the cnuise of missions. Mrs.
J. II. Kerr , state secretary of the AVomen'9
Foreign Missionary society , was to have
delivered an address , but In her absents a
letter from Miss Anna Buzzell was substi
tuted , Miss Iluzzcll Is a missionary In I
Japan , She wrote an InterestlnK account of i
her work there.
Miss N'ellle Holmes read a paper on "How
to Interest Young People In Missions. " The
paper was bright and disclosed much study
in Us preparation. One of the chief points'
she scored wag that she would have young
people supplied with plenty of the right
kind of literature. She thought good readIng -
Ing would have a tendency to arouse an
Interest In tbo work.
"Mltslons Among Germans" was the sub
ject of an address by Mies Augusta Dutch ,
a native German , who has for some time
been stationed In Omaha as n missionary.
Sbo gave an encouraging account of her
work here ,
Mrs. N. S. Bishop , a Nebraska woman
Who has taken special training for mis
sionary work , made an Impromptu speech

of the host features of the afternoon ses
sion.
MIs M. Van Ness of Lincoln presided
over the woman's meeting. The afternoon
exercises closed with devotional services.
Strong Tnlkx for Uitnuiitloii.
Education was the topic at the night
session. It was the banner occasion of the
convention thus far , in point of attendance.
Many late arrivals were unable to get lo-
sldo the church. Some went away , whllo
others sat on the steps and stood on the
walk. The speakers , it so happened , were
orators -with voices of such force that much
of what they said could be heard to the
street.
Rov. J. P. Green , LL.D. , president of
the William Jowell college , Liberty , Mo. ,
and who Is nn honored guest of the Ne
braska Baptists , spoke on "Christian Edu
cation. " Dr. Green made a strong plea for
the denominational colleges. He Bald
many of tbo professors in the state uni
versities and other nonsectarlan Institu
tions oC learning do not entertain a very
high regard tor the bible.
"Why , some of them oven lecture against
the bible , " the speaker exclaimed. "Under
such conditions , " ho continued , "how can
wo expect our boys and girls to bo Chris
tians ? I have known of faithful young
church members being turned from their
religion by the Influence of nonsectarlan
schools. I am a Baptist and I want to Hvo
with the Baptists , I want to die among them
and I want to bo burled by them. That
Is the kind of a Baptist I am and of course
I want ray children educated in a Baptist
college. You Nebraska Baptists have a
college at Grand Island. It Is your duty
to support it. "
At great length the speaker continued
bis plea for the denominational school.
The other address of the evening was
made by Rev. H. L ; Moorehouse , D. D. , of
the Baptist Publication society , Philadel
phia. Dr. Moorehouse Is an eloquent orator
with an enchanting voice. He Is gifted
with great command of language and Is
highly entertaining. For several minutes
ho talked on education from a religious
standpoint. His address was well received.
An unusually attractive feature of the
night session was a solo by Miss Erma
Kumler , Instructor of vocal music iu Grand
.Island College. Miss Kuraler has a wonder
ful voice , whose depth , volume , and soft
ness ore the requisites of a great singer.
Devotional exercises closed the program.

DIES ALONE IN THE WILDS
ItcinnliiH of Aduiii IjyonM Found More
Thnn Two Yearn After IIU
DI ni > i > cnraiioe.
The remains of a man , a relative of
Omaha and Lincoln people , have been found
In the wilds of Idaho after all trace of him
had been lost for over two years , and his
death looked upon as an assured fact. The
man was Adam B < Lyons , who went from
his home In Lincoln to search for paying
mines In Idaho.
Lyons was In partnership with M , W.
Miner , and shared a cabin on Sulphur Creek ,
Idaho county , with him. Ho became very 111
with mountain fever and waking once from
leop while Miner was sleeping Boundly ,
wandered off alono. When Miner awoke lie
went In search of his missing partner and
called upon others to join him , But all they
could find of the man was his walking stick
and a ploco of canvas taken from the hut.
Those were on the bank of the crock , which
was ewlft and swollen at the time , and the
searchers naturally concluded that Lyons
had fallen In the water and been drowned.
Miner returned to the cabin and posted a
notce | , giving the facts concerning his part
ner's disappearance , aiid'requwtlng any per-
con who should learn anything of hl fate
to send word to his home In Idaho or to
Lyons' parents In Lincoln. That -was in
Juno , 1S97.
In the early part of September of this
year Herbert A. Inraan discovered Ljons'
remains , consisting of the skeleton and n
few articles of clothing. Tbo skull was
missing , but the man's false teeth were
found a short distance away. The rubber
booU which Lyons hod on at the time be
was lost were found close to the remains ,
but not on the foot , and the hat had eomc
hair In It of the color given In the notice
posted In the cabin. The trousers and eblrt
what wa left of them answered tbo de
scription , and also the coat and vest , which
were In a much hotter state of prrservatlon ,
The natch could not be found. Ttio Identifi
cation was made positive by a letter In one
of the bootu , the first line of which read :
"Dear Brother Adam. "
The remains were found on the opposite
aide of the cre k from the cabin , showing
that Lyons , In spite of his weak condition ,
must have succeeded In crceslng. All things
go to Indicate that be was wandering aim-
Icesly In u delirium , na he was far from the
trail , In a young growth of black pine. In.
man was led to look about In the woods by
reading the notice In tbo cabin.

I , the Baptist stnto convention. "Uncle Bos-
I I ton , " for that la his familiar cognomen
' among Baptists everywhere , is the general
manager of a line of chapel care. Ono of
these cars Is now sidetracked at the W ( b-
fitor street station. It Is the "Messenger of
Peace , " and Is in charge of S. G , Nell and
wlfo. "Messenger of Peace" IsNo. . 5 In the
Hot over which "Undo Boston" has general
supervision. The others are "Evangel , "
"Bmrnamiel , " "Glad Tidings" and "Good
Will. " Those cars are assigned to differ
ent territories , each ono being in charge of
ono or tnoro missionaries. The sixth car
Is now In course of construction fit Detroit
and will bo dedicated next May , when the
Baptist anniversaries are held at Detroit.
A < ) < > npol I'n I net- ,
The "Messenger of Peace" Is eighty feet
long , ton feet and four inches wldcv. Its
seating capacity is ono hundred and twcnty-
flvo , but Mr. Nell says it has been made to
hold a considerably larger number. There
la A berth , the eamo ns In an ordinary
Pullman ; n kitchen , equipped with steel
range ; refrigerator , china closets , etc. ; a
cosy living room for the missionary and his
wife , In which rows of books and papers
line the walls , with just enough pictures to
give Uio place a home-llko tinge. In ad
dition there Is "the chapel , " with two rows
of Boats for the accommodation of those
who enter the car to hear the preaching.
"Tho chapel" looks very much like a church ,
despite the fact that It la simply the big
gest end of a palace car. An organ of
church pattern and a regulation pulpit
complete the equipment. It Is In this end ot
the car that the missionaries do their
preaching. They never fall to get an audi
ence , no matter how wicked the town Into
which they sidetrack. The novelty at
tracts. The exterior of the car la not dif
ferent from any private car.
This description of the "Messenger ot
Peace , " describes in a general -way all the
other cars ot the system supervised by
"Uncle Boston. " "With him the "Messenger
of Peace" simply represents one plcoo ot
equipment of his system. He calls it the
"White Line , " because ho says that line
makes close connections for Heaven.
Tj-picnl Itnllrondcr.
"Uncle Boston" Is typically railroad In his
methods. In his ordinary conversation he
makes us of many expressions that would
cause him to be taken for a railroad man.
Years .ago he wae an expert accountant. He
left a lucrative situation in Minneapolis teen
en tor missionary work.
"It struck me , " he said , "that a man who
dovotcs his life to the cause of the. gospel
ought to have a better method ot transpor
tation than that afforded toy the early-day
missionaries. In the long ago they walked
from place to place , distributing tracts and
pointing out the way to heaven. Then they
Improved a little and covered their route
horseback. "At last they got to using
wagons , but In most cases the wagons were
poorly equipped. Many a poor colporter has
had to sleep ont under tha trees. But that
difficulty was avoided by building wagons
arranged for a sleeping berth. These wag
ons are still serviceable for districts not
touched T > y railroads , but they can't travel
fast enough , so we had to build these chapel
cars. At first It appeared to ( be a big un
dertaking. The Idea , of building a private
car especially arranged for the gospel !
Just think of It ! But I know It could be
done and from the one car with which we
etarted , our system has grown to five cars ,
with another in course of construction ,
and still others to come. The Lord gives
the money for this work and noble Chris
tian men and women are His distributing
agents 'Ills ' paymasters , we may say. "

HEARD ABOUT TOWN.
"Colonel" Ray Eaton came In from Den
ver Tuesday evening , where ho has been
for several years. He was given a surprise
as ho stepped oft the train at the depnt.
Eaton was connected with the Omaha papers
for a nun.ber of years , laboring in the local
field. Some years ago he went to Denver ,
where his star rapidly ascended toward the
zenith. A few days ago he was offered n
good position on one of the New York
papers and decided to accept. A number of
the railroad and newspaper men having
learned that Baton was coming prepared
plans for bis reception. A lot of badges
bearing the Inscription , "Colonel Eaton
Reception Committee , " were secured. A
huge corkscrew was bought and decorated
with gay ribbons. Then to cap the climax
tbo boys secured a gallon bottle , which they
labeled "Seltzer water. " Thus equipped the
gang marched to the depot. When Eaton
alighted upon the platform ho was grabbed
by n couple of his friends and marched to
the colonnades of the depot , where , In a
humorous speech , Will M. Maupln presented
the corkscrew , which ho designated as tbo
"keys to the city. " Ha was followed by
City Passenger Agent West of the North
western railroad , who presented the eeltzer
bottle , remarking that It would be a good
thing to have along after using the keys.
Eaton attempted to respond , but was so
overcome with the reception that it was
next to impossible to give utterance to his
feelings of appreciation. Ho will remain
In Omaha a day or two to recuporate.
Captain Charles W. Brown , secretary of
the Plttsburg Plate Glass company , arrived
In Omaha yesterday and Is registered nt
the Her Grand ,
Captain Brown Is an old
western man , having served bis firm In
Minneapolis for a number of years. "It
seems good , " eald be , "to be out In this
western country again. Personally I much
prefer It to the east. Tbo people hero are
more congenial , "
But when some ono re
marked that Plttsburg was only looked upon
as a manufacturing city find not considered
as a social or Intellectual center ho Immedi
ately stood up for the city of bis present
borne. "Plttfiburg is to bo looked upon as
great pumpkins in every line , " said he , "It
is notable In Its music and art and Is equal
to any city In the country in Its social and
literary standing. "
The captain asserted that the PIttaburg
Plate Olats company was not a trust and
declared that there were too many people
eager to apply the name trust to any large
concern.

tainly stands well , not only with the repub

had ho been able to make the sonatornhlp

state will stay in line with the party , but
we must not underestimate the strength of

Members of the teachers' committee of
the Board of Education are considering1 the
advisability of establishing a night school
In line with the suggestion of Superintend
ent Wolfe. It is moro than likely that
such a school will be Instituted and given a
fair trial. Tf , after one or two months , the
attendence Is not sufficient to warrant the
expenditure , the cocp rlmcnt will bo aband
oned. In speaking of this matter Member
Bulla said that ho waa perfectly willing to
give the plan , as outlined 'by thei superin
tendent , a trial. He thinks that two months
of night school will show whether there is
a demand or not for a continuance of the
expenditure. Mr. Bulla Is of the opinion
that a night school canbe < operated for two
months at a coat of not to exceed $100 and
possibly less. A teacher's salary is. figured
at10 a raon h , whllo the lights , heat ,
books and Janitor servlca will cost , prob
ably $10. Member Lott of the .board Is also
In favor of giving1 the plan a trial. He says
that if the attendence Is not eufllclent the
school can be abandoned.
Superintendent Wolfe has an idea that
many of the young loetn and older boys ,
who are compelled to work all day , will bo
glad of the opportunity of gaining knowl
edge oven if they have to atudy at night.
The superintendent expects to establish
this school In the High school building , as
U Is centrally located. It Is not likely that
anything definite will be done about the
opening of tha school until Dr. Wolfe re
turns from his vacation , which he Is spend
ing at Lincoln. It 'has been suggested that
one of the teachers employed In the day
schools foe selected for the teaching of the

ably causL'd by a defect In
the

More I'livliiR Tnx Suit * Filed.
A cumber of new eults In the Twenty
fourth etrct't paving case have been Instl
luted within the last few days. The title ot I
the cases recently filed Is M. A. Cox et nl. '
against The City of South Omaha , AccordIng -
Ing to the record the city Is restrained from
the collection of the paving tax from those
Interested In the eutt until a hearing Is baa.
The plan being followed now In for n num
ber of property owners to subscribe a cer
tain sum for tbo services of an attorney
with the understanding that all of the cases
be tried at the s.imo tlmo. No payments on
this tax have been made for some time , and
the city will hardly make any attempt to
collect the saino until the filial adjudication
of the cases pending.
1,1-ve Stock Kcct'littN Iimrrnac Dnllr.
Over 731,000 cattle were received at west
ern markets in September , or 86,076 in cx-
cees of a year ago. The month's total was
the heaviest for September since 1892. The
South Omaha market shows a gratifying In
crease In cattle and sheep , and an enormous
Increase In bogs as compared with the cor
responding period' of last year. Chicago
shows a decrease In the receipts ot cattle ,
hogs and sheep , while Kansas City shows a
decrease In eheep and hogs. As heavy ship
ments ot stock continue at this point It is
safe to assert that farmers and atockmcn
consider South Omaha the best market In
the country at the present time.
