EARLY CHURCHES OF OMAHA

pam every dny tbo sUcm occupied by the
pioneer church ot tho community without
bclnic aware of It. Theao sHcb formerly
dedicated to purposes of rellRloim worship
are now occupied by busliutiH blocks, bankB
and olllcrH that form tho center of the city's
lnduntrlal activity.
AltbouKh the first rcllRlouB meetliiR ever
held In Omaha was In charo of a Meth
odist preacher, thu Catholics wero tho first
to erect a church bulldliiK In tho city. It
was a llttlo brick edlllce situated at tho
nortbeaBt corner of KlRhth and Howard
streets. Karly In lSSfi work wns com
menced on tho bulldlnK and It wns com
pleted In August, when Knthcr Scanlan of
St. Joseph dedicated tho llttlo chapel, Riving
it tho name of St. Mary's.
St. I'hllomena's cathedral was completed
In 1807 nnd St. Mary's coiiKreRUtlon deserted
tho llttlu church and kIvo It to sisters,
who conducted a school In It for many
years. In 1S82 the ground upon which tbo
pioneer church Htood was condemned by tho
Burlington railroad and tbo plain llttlo brick
cbapul, surmounted by n slmplo wooden
cross, which bad been an Inspiration to
many of the enrly settlers, was torn down
to msko way for additional railroad tracks.
Shortly after St. Mary's was completed a
girls' school was established and named In
honor of tbo llttlo church. From this school
St. Mary's avenue took Its name. The
school grounds wero sold for business prop
erty years ago ami tho buildings torn down,
no that St. Mnry's uvenuo Is all that re
mains to perpetuate the memory of Omaha's
first church building.

nev. l'etnr Cooper, a Methodist preacher
of Council Muffs, cntno to Omaha August 13,
1854, nnd conducted the first religious
eorvlco ever held In the city. Tho meeting
was In tho St. Nicholas bouse, n small log
building which tho Omaha and Council
Muffs Kerry company had erected at tho
corner ot Jackson and Twelfth streets. Tho
house- was then occupied by W. 1'. Snowdon,
whose family raado up the greater part ot
tho first congregation that listened to a
sormon In tho frontier town. Shortly
afterward Catholic missionaries visited
Omaha and masB was Bald at tho home of

by Elder Moses F. Sblnn, who was one of
tho notnbln churchmen of early Omaha.
Klder Sblnn was for many years tho ferry

did not havo much uro for churches and re

Reuben Oaylord was Instrumental In erect,
loc Omaha's third church building, which
stood on tho Sixteenth street alto, now oc
cupied by tho People' Furniture and Carpet
company building. This waa a Congre
gational church and was used for church
purposes until 1867, when the congregation
entered a now budding at the corner of
Nineteenth and Chicago streets. In 1870
Redlck'n opera house was built on tbo pres
ent site of the Commercial National bank
and tho old ohurch was made a part of the
building and served as a city council cham
ber and United State court room.
For many years Reuben Oaylord stood at
the head of Congregationalism In Omaha,
Ho ramo to this city from Grlnnell, la.,
where ho was ono ot tho founders of Iowa
college. Until tho time of hln death In
tho early '80s ho was nctlvo In church mat
ters. In 185C Hlshop Kemper, missionary bishop
of tho northwfMt, and Ulsbop Io of Iowa
visited Omaha and organized Trinity Episco
pal pariah. A lot was purchased In
1859 at tho corner of Fifteenth nnd Daven
port streets and plans were drawn for a
church, but this location was abandoned
and Trinity's first church w-as built at the
southwtBt corner of Farnam nnd Ninth
streets. A framo church was built In 1867
on tho present site of Trinity cathedral, but
this was dostroyed by lire In 1869.

Ad early ns ISM the Daptlsts attempted
to found a church In Omaha, hut failed.
Itev. William Leach was sent here at that
time, but met with such poor success that
he wns compelled to practice dentistry to
make a living. After months ot unsuccess
ful work bo left. In 1SS9 Rev. Rarnes suc

tion and built a small frame church on
Douglas street between Fifteenth and Six

was dissolved and tbe Haptlsts were with
out a church building until 1866, when a
frame church was erected at tho southeast
corner of Fifteenth and Davenport streots.
Tho Millard hotel stands on the site of
Omaha's tlrst Lutheran church. In IS.' 9
the Alleghany synod of tho Lutheran church
sent Rev. II. W. Kubns as a missionary to
Omaha. After two years of work he found
himself In charge of a flourishing congre

The Millard Hotel company made tbe con

place.
Among tho men who came to Omaha In
the spring ot 1857 was Rev. Ocorge 1'.

RELICS OF DAYS OF RIVALRY

Omaha Had Threo Oompaniea,
MANY OLD TRACKS STILL IN POSITION

The stranger, taking an aftornoon drive
In Oranha, Is Impressed by the great num
ber ot streets he comes across upon which
are tho rails of what onco has been n
street car Hue. In some parts of the city
It seems that almost every thoroughfare
bears theso monuraonts of tho past, now
rusty and fringed with weeds, fit candidates
for tho scrap Iron pile. "Why are the
lines not In use nowj" Is a common ques
tion. "Weren't they paying Investments?
Was tho trend of tho city's growth de
flected ?"
Neither of thrso guesses hits tho trno
reason. Tho fact of the matter Is, there
tracks aro a sort of cenotaph, commemorat
ing tho time when Omaha had three btrcet
railway companies Instead ot one, ns at
present. Then competition for 5-ccnt fares
was sharp. Roads of tho various companies
paralleled each other In tho strugglo far
business. Hut when tbo combination was
effected It was found no longer expedient
to operate parallel lines, ho the rails of
abotit every third street were abandoned.
In some Instances they were torn up and
hauled away and In others were permitted
to remain.
Most of tbe old-fashioned rails nro no
longer avntlabto for use In their prreont
form, being Inadequate In weight and lack
ing several other features of tho modern
street railway "Iron." For the rails, Uko
tho cars and tho motive power, havo un
dergone many changes. Time was, before
the bicyclo and tho automobile, when
Omaha's street railway equipment was lim
ited to thu little old dinky horse cars with
their continuous and pleasantly pas
toral tinkle. Then these gave way
to the spasmodic cable, and these.
In turn, to tho vociferous trolley,
which, with Its wheels hunched up under
its middle like the Irgs of a hurdle-leaping
hound, conio bowling down tho track like
a yacht In a galo, making the passengers
seasick and threatening to run Its noso Into
tho ground nt every Jump. Finally, we
huvo tho stately coach with the suspension
bridge body tho dachshund of rolling stock.
Amid tho oxcltemont and stirring Inci
dent of nil theso Improvements the street
railway company has lost sight of Its old
derelict trunk lines, which, In tho early
days, paid dividends Into Its coffers, and
tbo peoplo whose homes ubutt them havo
almost forgotten tho day when they wero
awakened at G:30 a. m. by tho clnng of the
brazen gong. Here Is an epitaph to their
mtmory :
Locution of Ilie Old I.Iiick.
Fifteen years ago cars used to run out
on St. Mary's avenue to Tweuty-seventh
street, At that tlmo this was tbo only
way to rencji the southwestern part of tho
city, und oven this avenue lacked much
of being an Ideal rondbed on nccount of
the steep htl from Twontleth stroot west
ward. Finally rails were laid on leaven
worth street, and the St. Mary's avenuo
line was relinquished.
In the later '80a a line of street cars
known as the "Red Line" ran from the
union dopot north to Farnam, west on
Farnam to Fifteenth, north on Fifteenth
to Capitol avenue, west on Capitol avenuo
to Eighteenth, north on Elshtuenth to

Cass, west on Cass to Twentieth and
north on Twentieth to Cuming. A part of
this Fine Is still la use, but twelve years
ago the right-of-way from Capitol avenuo
to Eighteenth, from Eighteenth to Cass
and from Cass to Twentieth streot was
discarded.
It was along about 1891 that cars used
to run north on Sixteenth to Nicholas,
west on Nicholas to Eighteenth, north on
Eighteenth to Lake nnd west on Lake to
Twentieth street. These stroets no longer
know the motor's clamor. Tho traffic Is
divided between tho Twcntloth street and
Sherman avenue lines.
The rails on the Falrmount line, from
Twentieth to Plnknay streots, a dlstunco
of ntno blocks, were taken out In 1891 on
account of tbe now boulevard, and travel
went to tbo Sixteenth nnd Twentieth street
lines.
Flvo years ago thero was a cable lino
on Dodge street running west of Twenty
fifth to Twenty-ninth, a distance of four
blocks, but this wi abandoned when tho
Harney street motor line wns established.
Cars now switch off nt Twenty-fifth and go
to Crelghton college, Instead of running
out to Twenty-ninth street, as formerly.
Tho "Walnut Hill" or Uurt Blreat lino,
twelvo blocks long, which ran from Twenty
ninth nnd Cuming streets Bouth to Hurt, and
east on Hurt to Seventeenth street, foil
Into disuse In 1S93. Tho travel has been
deflected to tho Cuming otreet line; tbe rails
havo been torn up, nnd there Is nothing
there now to show that It was once a mailt
artery.
A year later six blocks of single track
cn Twenty-ninth street, from Farnam to
Leavenworth, wero abandoned, and thero
is nothing to take its place.
Terhaps tho most sweeping change, In the
right-of-way of Omaha street car lines oc
curred In 18S9, when nearly two mllco of
rails, known ns tho Twenty-fifth street lino,
extending from Twenty-eighth and Charles
oast on Charles to Twenty-second, south on
Twenty-second to Hurt nnd thenco around
tho depot loop, wore turned over to rust und
weeds.
Notwithstanding tho fact that there aro
fewer miles of street rallwny in operation
now than when thero wero three competing
companies In existence, tho main trunk lines
are longer and tap moro remote suburbs.
No considerable terltory within the city
limits Is without service, with tho possible
exception of a square mllo or so In the
extreme southwestern part, which lo

IN THE WHEELING WORLD, j
Tho size of tho audience which witnessed
the opening bicycle races at the now Mid
way Cycle track last Sunday afternoon
seems conclusive evldenco that with tho
proper kind of races, ns well managed as
those at tho Initial meet, there will be n
revival of enthusiasm In bicycle racing in
Omaha this season that promises to eclipse
that of former years, so far ns the attend
ance Is concerned. This Is but tho natural
result of Sunday racing, as made possible
by tho rules of the National Cyclists' union,
the now organization to which the League
nt American Wheelmen recently relinquished
tho control of bicycle racing In this coun
try. Formerly the meets wero held either
on week-day nftornoons or evenings, times
when It was practically Impossible for the
mneses of people to attend.
However, In order to attract tho peoplo
to race meets in Omaha, tho races mtirt be
of such kind as to leave not tho slightest
doubt ns to tbelr "squarenfns" In the minds
of those who go to see them. The cyclo
race loving public of this city havo had
enough fakes perpetrated upon them, Short,

Five and ten-mile races aro tiresome to
look nt, and usually amount to nothing
more than a procession until the Isst half
mile. Ono six-day rnce a season might
prove Interesting, but more than that would
be Intolerable, ns so many have been held
during past years that the mention of one
Is next to nauseating to many supporters of
the game. Match races are aleo a thing
of tho past, since there U a greater possi
bility of their being fakes than the open
events. A few middle distance motor paced
races would undoubtedly prove interesting,
ns would also a iam race now und then.

The National Cycling club made the
regular mid-weekly run on Friday night of
Inst week. Their original destination wns
Lake Manawn, via Council Muffs, whero
they wero to bo Joined by tho Owl club
of that city, and Journey with the latter to
tho lake. Upon arriving at tho Owl club's
quarters In tho Muffs It was learned that
tho roads to Manawn were tiot In rldrablo
condition, and upon Invitation of tho Muffs
boys thoy remained at tho latter's club
rooms, whero an Impromptu entertainment
was enjoyed. Refreshments were served
Juttt before tbe Omahans were rendy to start
on their homeward Journey nnd overybody
Joined In vatlng the Owl club royal enter
tainers nnd good fellowB. A Joint run on
this side of the river Is In prospect for the
near future, nnd tho National club will
endeavor to give thoir visitors tho best tbo
city affords In the way of entertainment.
Last week's run was In cbargo of Captain
Kellogg.
Whllo training at the now track one after
noon last week Hamoy Oldfleld rodo an un
pucod mile In 2:01, which Is not far from
tho world's record. Oldfleld Is confident
ho can lower tho half mile world's un
paced rocord of 55 2-5 on this trnck ami
will undoubtedly make the nttompt In tho
near future.
Even tho dnrk continent hns been reached
by the ubiquitous bicycle within the laBt
coupla of years. The border towns of Cnpe
Colony, such ns King Williams Town and
Orubamstown, now havo bicycle clubs of
thoir ov.n. In Nntal there aro three native
clubs. Thesn met with strong opposition
from tho liuropean population when they
wero first established, but tho prejudice has
worn a way, and the. Natal Kafllr, as far
aUho bicyclo 1b concerned, Is now on equal
plane with tho whites of tho colony.
Tho native African of the border towns
have for many years taken a share In all
branches of athletics, but It Is only recently
that they have taken up cycling. The first
native who bad the nerve to ride through
Orahamstown on a wheel appeared about
clEbteon months ago and he creaUJ a bis

Tho South African natlvo 1h of a thrifty
turn of mind and savna ovnry cent pooslblo,
so that when the fever struck the race mont
of them were sufficiently provided with
funds to purchase good wheels for cash.
As a rulo they buy the best that can be
obtained, as one American of a speculative
turn of mind discovered with regret nnd
monetary loss. Ho Invested In a lot of
broken-down, second-hand machines which
he tho'ught be could unload on the unso
phisticated natives, but they would not even
look at his goods, bo he stored them In a
shed and shook the duet of the town from
his feet. In Zululand alto the whcol hns
caught on. The missionaries and the na
tive teachers use bicycles In traveling
from place to place. A plucky Australian
Is to be thanked for this. He rodo into
tho country on hlo bicyclo and squeezed
orders out of tbo trading stores nnd mission
stations or Insisted on stocking them up
with consignments, believing (hat tbo thing,
It onco started by a few, would grow. His
Judgment proved correct nnd it wan a most
successful venture for him. At Johannes
burg tho situation Is different. Tbo pre
judice against natives appearing on tho
streets awheel has been too strong to bo
easily overcome. Several months ago a
couple of unusually daring Kaffirs attempted
to Introduce tho cycle among their breth
ren, but a policeman knocked both tho
"darkles" off tbclr wheels and took tho
machines to tho rhargo olllco and the
Kufllrs of the place wero given to understand
that cycling was not for thorn, but for their
"betters."
Some general understanding should be
renched by cyclers regarding tbo warning
word used on tho road when pafslng one
another while traveling In tho samo direc
tion. As it Is now a rider comes up from
behind, nnd. as he swings out to pass, calls
to the ono ahead, who Is going at a slower
pace, "Right, right," meaning for the lead
ing rider to keep over to tbo right in order
that the other may go by on tho left side
The next one reeking to pass cries "Left,
left," meaning that he nlso is going to pass
on the left hand. lloth Intend to convey
the snmo idea and warning, but uso reverse
expressions. At times a rider finds It more
opportune to pass to the right, and he then
exclaims "Right, right." In consequent
of these confused understandings many
potty collisions and a few serious ones
occur, while narrow escapes are numerous.
Riders cannot be certnln w.hat a mnn
means when he cries "right" or "left," so
instead of pulling out promptly the ono
ahead pauses to look around and see where
the other Is and on which side he Is com
ing. Doing this causes n laps of tlmo that
Is not anticipated by tho approaching rider
nnd some skillful dodging tactics are fre
quently necessary. The rldor In front lo
apt In his hesitation to wabble and get right
In tho way of the other. Tho faster man
behind, huvlng expected tho other tc pull
out quickly nnd afford room to him. and
being 'unable to cheek his rpeed, manages
t'fually to avoid a crash by making a sudden
swoop to ono side, but ho denounces the
other as stupid and wnrm words are often
exchanged. This would all bo avoided If
thorn was one fixed rulo concerning tho
word of warntng. This Is hii evolution by
which such difficulties become finally ad
justed, nnd at present the uso of the word
"right." when one Intends to pass to tho
left, U becoming most common, but the
progrrwi toward Its being adopted nnd un
derstood by all will bo nccele-raled If every
one heeds the prevailing tendency and ro
members always to call out to a ride. In
