FATE OF PIONEER CHURCHES
Btranga and Inconsistent Usea Found for
Abandoned Houses of Worship.
CATHEDRAL CONVERTED INTO A SALOON
Tlvoll Gnrilcii on the Site of
Once- Prominent Church IlulliU
, Into- Another Ilrcoinm u
lleinitr ttlioii ,
Nearly all tbo landmark church buildings
that were prominent temples of worship In
the Oinaba frontier days have been itban-
odned and tbo use to which Bomo of them
liavo been converted Is a striking example
of the -wonders 'wrought by time.
Despite the wild west aspect that clustered
about Omaha In the long ago , -when papula ,
tlon anil business centered along tbo river
front , with Tenth street as u suburb , the
town .had Its church representation and sev
eral houses of worehlp were built under
direction of mission workers who came hero
from the east.
Keeping pace with the onward march of
progress , the river front district hasbeen ,
given over to manufacturing and jobbing In *
tereats , and the churches , along with the
population , have moved westward , digressing
to the north and south to find upucc ,
Churches that are now classed as "down *
town , " such us Kauntzo Memorial , First
1'resbyterlan , First Congregational , Trinity
cathedral and others , would have been
suburban In tbo days when the town was on
the river front. Like many of the other
churches , these nro the outgrowth of pioneer
churches or nileulons that begun tn buildings
much less pretentious.
Trinity u I'ionrer ,
Away back In the early days Trinity
cathedral stood on the southwest corner of
Ninth and Farnnm strcts. It was not much
of a "cathedral" then a squatty little brick
edifice , severely plain , very much unlike the
magnificent Trinity cathedral that now
stands at Eighteenth street and Capitol avc-
nuo. All that now remains of that pioneer
house of worship Is a rough excavation and
a pile of bricks. The building was torn down
a year ago and the lot Is on the market.
The early-day worshipers who were un
proud of the "cathedral" down on Ninth
street little dreamed there would Home day
bp bacchanalian revelry within Its walls ,
but that Is exactly what came to pass , for
after the building was abandoned for church
purposes It became the home of a Eulojn ,
and n well patronized resort It was. The
ground and trees around the building made
a most Inviting spot and the place was called
the TIroll garden. In connection with the
saloon there was a restaurant. The garden
wad first kept by a man named Sleblllst ,
whoso fame as a caterer was more than
local , Ho maintained an orchestra , ho had
a skilled chef at the head of bis culinary de
partment and It was conceded by the sport-
Irig fraternity that SlebllUt's whisky wai
just a trltlo older and more velvety than an ?
other In town and his beer was colder and
more properly kept. Sleblllst was a mattcr-
of-faet sort of fellow a typical caterer and
hecouldn't eco any romance or anyth'ng '
particularly strange In tha fact that bis
house had been built for church purposes
and that the very spot where Blood bis bar
was once occupied by the altar and the chan
cel. Tbo frosted windows were allowed to
stand because they screened from curious
gaze the antics of the revelers. The Tlvoll
was noted not only In Omaha , but In oil of
tbo river towns between Sioux City and St
Joseph , and travelers who dropped off here
always found the Sleblllst bar If they were
In the least Inclined to Imbibe or to join In
revelry. U Is said of SlcbllUt that , dc pl e
the wide-open and cosmopolitan character
of bis place , he always Insisted upon peace ,
and It was seldom , If ever , that ho had what
Is called a "rough bouseHe permitted
great latitude so long as no ono was Injured
or disturbed , but If there were Indications
of a brewing storm ho took a hand himself
and put n quietus on It.
Tlilele'N ContlnmiiiH Concert.
Sleblllst was succeeded at the Tlvoll by
Julius Thlelc , a musician of considerable
note. Thlclo added to the musical equip
ment of the place and there came about a
continuous concert at the Tlvoll. lie also
kept up the bar and restaurant. Thlele ran
the place a few years and abandoned It , the
branching out of the city and Its consequent
westward growth having carried the trade
away from the river front district. After
Thlclo moved out of the pioneer cathedral
the building remained empty for a long while
and a year or BO ago It was torn down , hav
ing outlived Its usefulness , cither as a root
for the church or n saloon.
Jinny old-timers In Omaha relate Interest
ing reminiscences of the gay times that took
place nt the Tlvoll , Among these are C.
Willie , n barber on Tenth and Farnam. Mr.
Wlllo has been located In that block slnco
1S73 and has remained there continuously ,
"I have gathered hazel nuts In the vicinity
of what Is now Twentieth street and St.
Mary's avenue , " said Mr. Wlllo , "for nil
that region was a brush patch when I first
came hero. I have seen the town grow ;
away from the river and I have heard the
fun that once reigned nt the Tlvoll. The
fact that the building had originally been
dedicated as a homo of worship didn't seem
to have any Intluenco over those who went
there In later years to drink beer and have
a good tlmo. There was never anything
particularly bad about the Tlvoll BO far ns
1 know , but to use n slang expression the
boys used to have a 'hot time In the old
town' there were frequently. "
"I'nrlM ! "
> > CllNllKht.
There Is un old-faebloned wooden build
ing at 12U Dadge street that has a history.
It was built away back In the ' 10'a by a
German Methodist congregation and was
dedicated for church purposes , It Is now a
wagon shop , the front aldea being literally
covered with signs , announcing the proealo
business carried on within. Strangely
enough , right at tbo entrance to the old
church , Is a broken wagon , gaily bedaubed
with bright colors and In fancy letters Is
this announcement : "Paris by Gaslight. "
There are holes on the sides of the wagon
top , and tor u. small piece of money , when
the show Is running , thu sightseer may gaze
within and too what purports to be scenes
taken from the Latin quarter of gay Paris.
This wicked wagon , biokcn-down na It Is ,
would doubtless have shocked the staid
brethren and ulsters who worshiped there In
the long ago. This church was used several
years for Its original purpose and was aban
doned for more commodious quarters.
Many years ago there stood on the north
east corner of Eleventh and Ifarncy atrccts
n church building used by colored worship
ers. It was noted as rovlv.il headquarters.
Men and women went Into trances and the
good old sisters , worked up Into religious
frenzy , shouted so loudly they could bo
heard for blocks around , Many whlto per
sons went to this church In Its palmy days.
It was torn down long ago ami the site. Is
now occupied by a school building.
Ono Of the pioneer Catholic churchcn of
Omaha was at Eighth and Howard streets.
It disappeared long ago. In Its later years
It was used as a school building.
MnltuM Way for a lintel.
The first Lutheran church of Omaha was
erected on the ground now occupied by the
east end of tbo Mlllard hotel. It was not a
largo building and an advantageous offer for
the silo was accepted by the church authori
ties , The outgrowth of this church organ
ization Is the Kountzo Memorial , a splendid
structure at Sixteenth and Harney streets.
The First Congregational church building ,
Nineteenth and Davenport streets , ono of
( he most commodious In the city , Is the suc
cessor to a much less pretentious edifice
which stood at Sixteenth and Farnnm streets ,
northwest corner. Iledlck's opera house , a
pioneer play house of the town , was built
In front of the church , where the Commer
cial National bank now stands , The church
was finally annexed to the opera housp ,
which was built over and around it , and the
congregation bunted another home , eventu
ally becoming established In Its present lo
cation. The opera house was for a long
whllo used by the city as a city hall. Prior
to the abandonment of the opera bouse for
theatrical purposes the city council met In
the church annex , but when the building
was no longer used as a theater council
meetings were held in the auditorium. Men
tion of this opera house recalls the palmy
days of J. M. Pattco In Omaha. Pattee con
ducted a lottery. He bought the opera house
from Ilcdlck and offered It us the capital
prlie In his lottery. The man who drew It
was a non-resident. He came to Omaha and
celebrated his triumph with a brass bund
and a lavish flow of liquor. H was always
believed that the winner was a confederate
of Pattco , for the title was soon transferred
back to Pattee with the announcement that
ho had bought It from the winner. As the
Congregational church had been swallowed
Insldo of the opera house It , of course , was
a part of the capital prize In Pattoo's game
of chance , nut the lottery Is another story.
So old churches of Omaha have been con
verted Into wagonshops , saloons and second
hand stores , while the worshippers have ex
panded and built now structures so massive
that they will not again bo converted to
ttrango use by coming generations.

The Toronto Star tells a story of a Toronto
tenant , whoso inimo Is withheld , who painted
and otherwise Improved the exterior of the
house In which ho was living , at his own ex
pense. Ho was qulto well pleased with his
job , forgetting that he held a lease only
from month to month That fact was brought
homo to him when his landlord arrived for
lite rent. Looking the place over , the land
lord seemed pleasantly surprised and tbo
tenant surmised a reduction in the month's
rent of a sum to offset the actual expense
to which ho had gone. Instead , his landlord
raised the rent $2 n month. The landlord
knew his business better than the tenant.
