Tho nowly Instituted lodge nt Council Bluffs
'joined with tbe Omaha lodgo in commemo
rating Its dead, this bolng tho first time In
tho history of the society that two lodgca
havo comblnod for tbo purposo ot holding a
lodgo of sorrow.
Tho stage at tho thoator was beautifully
decorated with Urn emblems of tho order,
a largo elk occupying tho loft ot the stago
at tho rear entranco. In tho horns wero
hung olcctrlo lights In tho colors of tho
ordor, while ovr tho conter of tho stage
was suapanded a mammoth oik's head

As tho curtain roso Lyslo I. Abbott, ex

nnd a banner on tbo stago containing tho
names of tho departed Elks shono with cleo
trlo brilliancy. As tho secretary, at tho

Thon followed tho first eulogy, pro
nouncod by John N. llaldwln of Council

no departed mombcrs. Mr. Baldwin was
introducod by Mr. Abbott. Ho opened his
remarks by xplalnlng tho fundamental
principles of tio order: "That to bo faith
ful to a memory only Is to admit Infidelity
during llfo; "tho thlnkor and tho actor
die, but tho thoughts and tho deed live on
forever;" "tho Joy of tho thought of being
rbmcmbrrrd hereafter gtvcH strength to
man In tho present;" "tho ordor remombora
tho dopnrtcd members, but It does more
It strongtheus nnd aids tho living member."
Ho closed by paying trlbuto to the presont
grand exaltod ruler.
Tho solo or Mrs. Edward S. McKlnncy of
Kansas City followed. Mrs. McKlnncy has
u Btrong, flexlulo contralto volco of great

Jerome 11. FlEher, grand exaltod ruler, was
Introduced.
Death Without it Stlujs.
Tho speaker Bald in part: "I do not soo
that thlo day should bo mado a time ot
sadness. The dead aro boyond tho pain.
Wo today crown tho antlors of tie ellc with
flowers commemorative of tho svreotnoss
of tho llvofl of those gono before.
"Ask tho aUiolst and he will ray there Is
no God. In such a belief there Is no com
fort nud no Joy no stato of hopo. All as
piration:! of man nro nauyht If this Is so.
I would rather bellevo In tho awful doc
trlno of ctornal punlabmont than to bellevo
In total annihilation.
"Evory Elk believes In n supremo being.
I bellevo that In this body there Is a soul
thnt will live on whon nil olue has passed
away. Hut this Is no time to arguo the
rxlatunco of God or the immortality of tho
soul. Thoro Is no proof, but tho greatest
minds In history havo bcltoved In God. All
naturo proclaims tho cxlstcnco ot a God. I
am not a bellover In tho theory of accident
or chanco becauso for every law thoro Is
a lawgiver. Wo havo not all had tho same
environment nnd advantages or wa would
nil bcllovn allko and think alike. I be
llevo In tho religion of lovo.
"Tho Benevolent and Protoctlvo Order ot
Ellis Is n fratorual society. Its cardinal
prlnclplos charity. Justice, brotherly love
nnd fldolity aro not given to tako tho place
of any religion, but nro tin. foundation of n
great ordor. The world Is better, v:lsor,
purer and moro charitable today than It
over was bofore. Wo aro on tho threshold
ot a now century. Material development
has been revolutionized and tho Bptrlt ot
tho people has kopt paco. '
"I do not mean to say tho millennium Is
at hand, but tho day is surely coming
when nations shall not war with nations.
Tho Order ot Elks Is on American institu

air of monarchies."
Following tho address Prof. Bohumlr

coromonlon ot the order tho lodge of oorrow
was closed.
AI.Ii CIIHISTI.VXS IN OM3 CHURCH.
Tendency of Nniiirrnc'a Follower to
Follow One Htiiudnrit.
"AH of Christ's followers will be Joined
In one church within tho next century It
tho various denominations contlnuo to draw
together ns they havo during the last
twonty-flvo years," was tho prophecy of
Itov. Hubert C. Herring, who preached yes
terday morning at tho First Congrega
tional church on tno probablo unity of nil
Christian bodies. "But this union cannot
bo brought about Immediately. Some men
would havo tho churches Join hands and
reconcllo their vnrylng beliefs after thoy
havo been merged Into one. This cannot bo
done. Theso men make n eauso of what by
necessity must bo an effect. Church
union will bo worked out only
after tho various sects havo come
to respect each other's beliefs nnd
aro willing to lay asldo all but tbe
fundamental truth upon which all churches
are based.
"Originally thoro was but one church, tho
church of Itome. Then camo tho split be
tween tho eastern and western churches
and the Greek church camo Into existence.
With the Reformation other denominations
camo Into existence and from tlmo to time
discontented spirits have left old bodies
,and established now churches until today
wo havo half a Bcoro of well known de
nominations and scores of less Influential
ones. The development of these sects has
been tho work of agos and cannot bo un
done In a day,
"Tho most Illustrious advocate of church
union Is the pope, who frequently Invites
all churchmen to abandon othor organiza
tions and accept the tenets of his, the only
true church. And his Idea of church union
Is no less out of tho question than that of
the leaders In other denominations. In all
cases It Is an Invitation to desert fnlso
standards nnd Join a church which Inter
prets tho scriptures In a faultless man
ner.
"It Is pleasant to thluk of a time when
nil ot God's pcoplo will bo united this side
of heaven, but I have so patience with the
proposed unions which aro discussed In
rsllglous publications ot today. There Is
such rivalry and strife between the
churches that It Is Impossible to conceive
of harmonising such n variety ot tenets.
Until members of different sects learn to
disregard all but the essentials In religion
church union can only result In disrup
tion. The barriers botweon the different
sects cannot bo broken down with one
stroke, but God Is throwing light Into tho
dark recesses of churches and In time all
His worshipers will rlso above denomina
tional barriers and mako tho union ot alt
Christians possible."
GllOWTII OF CIIIUSTIAN ClltmCII.
Anniversary la Observed by View of
Pnst nud Future.
At tho First Christian church Sunday
morning tho pastor, Itov. Sumner T. Martin,
delivered an anniversary sermon to which
ho gavo tho title, "Gratitude for the Past
Courage for tho Future." Tho Introductory
remarks of tho pastor dealt with tho history
ot tho church, which was organized In 1873
nnd has enjoyed a steady growth since. The
results achieved during the last year have
been particularly gratifying, over 100 new
members having been taken Into tho church,
tho attendance at tho Sunday schoot having
Increased CO per cent, tho Endeavor society
having doubled Its membership and the reg
ular contributors to tho church finances
having been almost trebled.
Mr. Martlu spoke of tho good influence
of the Christian church In the community,
of Its standing for the pure gospel without
tho addition of human creeds or human
confessions of faith and of Its effort to
restore a church patterned after that of the
apostles.
"This church," said ho, "has taught tho
blblo to thousands through Its pulpit and
its blblo classes and has been tho means
of turning other thousands to tbo Lord In
personal salvation. It has stood for tem
perance and righteousness in tho commu
nity." In reviewing tho factors In the church's
llfo and growth tho pastor spoke highly
of tho former pastors of tho church nnd of
tho work they havo dono; ot tho faithful
ness of tbo church officers and societies and
tho unity, activity nnd liberality ot tho
members.
Of tho futuro Mr. Martin said: "Tho
cuhrch Is determined to accomplish a work
and roallzo ldoals higher than any it has
ever reached. To this end all nro called
to a scnBo otpcrsonal responsibility and
loftier Ideals ot Christian llfo and scrvlco,
to moro liberal giving for the support ot
the church at homo and tho preaching of
the gospel abroad. I invito you to n church
fellowship so warm nnd friendly that It
will charm all who come within tho ctrclo
ot Its Influence."

Tho Passlontst fathers, Angela and
Hllery, concluded a successful week's mis
sion work at St. Poter's church Sunday
night, the final sermon being on tho subject
of "Pertorvernuco" by Father Angclo.
"It will profit us llttlo to have- begun
well and taken many steps on our heaven
ward Journoy," Bald Father Angelo, "If we
fall to pcrsovore to tho end. St. Augustine
thoroforo Bays: 'It la of Uttlo moment to
begin well. Tho Important thing Is to end
well.'
"Though you have faith moro lively than
Abraham's, chnstlty moro excellent than
Josoph's, meekness moro ndmtrablo than
Dunloi's, patience moro Invincible than
Job's, zeal moro ardent than Paul's, ponl
tenco moro sincere than Magdalene's, you

At 10 o'clock this morning, in room IOC.
Bee building, Frank J. Sutcllffe, notary
public, will begin taking depositions in tho
contest proceedings wherein John F. S.hultz,
Albert J. Coloson, Fred M. Youngs and
Carstcn Kohwer, republicans, seek to prove
their election to the legislative seats for
which John Llddoll, Frank T. Ransom, Cary
M. Hunt and Charles T. Johnson, fUBlonlstu,
hold certlllcates. Tho first two petitioners
aro tor the Bonato and tbe latter two for
tho house.
It Is understood that tho contestants will
consoldlato their interests, as tho evidence
In each lustanco is said to bo practically
Identical.
Briefly summarized tho allegations upon
which those contests aro based aro that
tho fusion Judges ot election were guilty
of fraud to Buch extent that tho contest
ants wero deprived ot a fair showing In the
general returns, It Is set forth that
enough Illegal votes wero received by such
Judges to chnngo tho result ot tho election
and that had tbe ballots been properly
consored tho contestants would havo been
elected fairly. It Is further alleged that
many logal ballots In favor ot the contest
nnts wero rejected, thus adding to tho show
ing ot tho contestccs.
The "endless chain" Bystem Is touched
upon in tho documents filed by the couteBt
ants and it is alleged that if such unlaw
ful votes bad not been, received and counted
for tho contcsteoB tho contestants would
have had a majority of tho voteB. Tho "end
less chain" system Is denounced as being
in violation of the laws of Nebraska.
E. W. Slmoral and William A. Itediek
aro attornoys for tho contestants and Louis
J. Plattl, Ed P. Smith and Will F. Gurley
will appear for the contcstees. Tho hear
Ing will adjourn from day to day and will
probably contlnuo until tho latter part ot
the month, December 29 being the limit
upon which the taking ot depositions must
close. As Is generally understood the ac
tion ot the notary pubtlo Is only per
t'unctory.
Tho contestants made a study of their re
spective cases before they entered the
proceedings and they aro firm in the belief
that they have Just causo, for contesting and
on that beliof thoy baso strong hopo or vic
tory. A large nrray of witnesses has been
summoned on behalf of cither side.

Branches of the Publio Library Prove
Popular Innovation!
EXTENSION OF THE GOOD WORK GOES ON

Midway Between Omaha nnd South
Omaha 3llaa Toliltt Talks of
Library Affairs.
Stations of tho Omaha Public library, es
tablished at school buildings In remote
parts of the city have been so successful
that the directors have decided to try
a regular branch library In tho southern
part of tho city, probably at somo point
midway between Omaha and South Omaha.
The building for tho library has not been
selected yet, but a chotco will be made In a
short time and Miss Tobttt hopes to have
the branch In operation by January 1, 1901.
A good collection of books and periodicals
will bo placed In charge of an assistant,
who will maintain a reading room nnd Issue
books exactly as Is done at the central
library.
"Few cities tho size of Omaha maintain
regular branch libraries, but Omaha Is so
scattered that It seems necessary to extend
library privileges to persons who havo no
opportunity to visit the central station,"
Miss Tobttt said In discussing tho proposed
branch. "Tho stations which we have es
tablished In school buildings show that
many readers may be reached In thnt way
who nevor visit tho main library building.
When readers will come to school buildings
where books are exchanged only certain
days In a week It stands to reason that
thoy will make use of a regular station
whoro reading rooms nro maintained and
tho accommodations aro as good as at the
control library.
Itecord of One Ilrnncli.
"During Novcmbor 837 books wero bor
rowed from tho station located In tho
Comeulus school building. This record sur
passes that ot nny other station and has
persuaded us thnt tho demand for books in
tho south part of tho city Is great enough
to warrant a branch. Adults were not al
lowed to draw books from tho Comenlus
station and still the circulation waB almost
twice as great as that at any other school
In tho city.
'It will bo a great disappointment If the
branch should not succeed, becauso It Is
largely lu tho nature of a trial and If It
falls tho library extension movement will
no doubt receive n deathblow, whllo It It
succeeds other stations will no doubt bo es
tablished nnd remote parts of tho city will
bo offered library facilities." I
It is estimated that tho branch can bo
maintained nt an annual expense of 11,200
per yoar. This includes tho salary of nn
nttendnnt, rent, fuel, light, the transporta
tion or books and all other expenses. Bov-
oral storo buildings nro available for thla
branch and nro largo enough to nfford amplo
space for bookstacks and a commodious
rending room.
Tho number of books circulated by tho
library during November was 19,618, which
breaks tho record for November, a month
when tho circulation ordinarily falls to a
low bb. Tho Increase In circulation Is due
to tho school stations. During Novombor.
1899, the circulation of books from tho
school buildings amounted to 1,295, nnd this
year It was 3,605. Tho Comenlus station led
tho list with a circulation of 837 and tho
circulation of the other school stations was
as follows: Cnstellar, 570; Windsor, 453;
Pacific, 377; Vinton, 299; Clifton Hill, 176;
Monmouth Park, 84; Bancrift, 40; Central
Park, 412; Deal, 357.
I'rlvllcKCM for Adults.
At tho Central Park and Deal schools
adults are allowed to draw books nnd em
ployes of the library visit theso stations
regularly. Nearly all the borrowers at
theso stations aro persons who have not
hcretoforo availed themselves of library
privileges. Stations for the use ot school
children only will bo opened In a short
tlmo at Sherman nnd Forest schools.
Tho library spends so much annually for
binding that tho board has decided to es
tablish a bindery. Machinery for the plant
has been ordered and will be Installed
In the basement of tho library building.
It Is estimated that tho expenso of putting
tho blndory Into operation will bo about
$500. Tho annual expendlturo for binding
varies from $1,600 to 31,700 nnd It Is esti
mated that tho work can be dono at less
cost. ,
This expendlturo Is not the only thing
which prompted the directors to establish
tho plant, howevor. In many cases work
has been delayed In tho binderies, nnd with
tho now arrangement all delay will bo done
away with. A practical binder and woman
assistant will bo employed and union
wages will bo paid.
Inum' ClosInK Concerts
Tho two Innes performances Sunday wero
a testimonial to that genial conductor ot
his hold upon tho good will ot the city.
Tho great Coliseum, which engulfs Its
hundreds with llttlo effect upon the In
terior void, bora a well-filled appearance.
Although tho programs wero not framed
with any view to the day's significance,
there wero nevertheless many religious
classics Interspersed as artlstlo mission
aries. Tho numbers which received tbe
most hearty ovldenco of approval were the
cornet nolo by Kryl In the afternoon and
tho vocal ottering of Mme. Noldl In the
evening. The soprano stngor's rendering
of "Last Roso of Summer" was a glori
fication of that swcot and simple ballad.
Tho Interior ot tbo Coliseum rlvalod the
pomp and show of Ak-Sar-Ben festivities,
but tho Inefficiency of tho building for Its
purposo wns only too plainly evident. With
a draught assailing him from the rear and
the words of tho soloist coming to him
but faintly In tho great angular space the
average citizen rend a potent object lesson
on tho need of an auditorium.
Tho attendance at tbe four performances
were a sufficient assuranco to Mr. Innes to
mako certain another and moro speedy
coming for, although the vacant seats pre
dominated at tho Saturday matinee the
following performances more than made

up the deficiency. Tho conductor feels that
he has once again established a hearty
friendship with the people of Omaha and
hopes to be present ns tho opening attrac
tion at the opening ot tho auditorium.
Tho band is on Its way cast, Nebraska
having been the objcctlvo point, and will
probably double the 7,000 mllcB traveled so
far this soason before It reaches New York.
In April tho musicians wilt play at tbo
opening of the exposition in Scotland, re

auditorium at Atlantic City.
In theso columns enough has been said
about Innes. and his men to show that their
work Is heartily endorsed as being bucIi as
leaves a good tasto on one's muslcnl palnto.
Inncs Is uncompromising In regard to his
standard ot concert music and his concerts
here havo been of posltlvo educational
value. It was noticeable that audiences of
artlstlo and Intelligently Interested listen
ers greeted the band und were not appar
ently disappointed by not hearing tho music
which appeals to vitiated or unformed
tastes.
At tho afternoon concort Miss Frances
Hoyden was In Bplcndld volco. Her sim
plicity and sincerity ot manner nro as
attractive as her emotional features and her
frosh and beautiful volco. Her tones nro
poised with tho most satisfying delicacy of
accuracy. Her upper quality Is Ideal and
the tone production throughout Is convinc
ing and not spectacular; artistic, full ot
color and not lacking In Intensity. Slgnor
Albertl pleased the peoplo as usual nnd wns
in good voice. Why does ho not sing "Tho
Palms" In English? Imngtne hearing "Ben
Bolt" In French, or the long-meter doxology
In Russian! Albert! can sing English nnd
can do It well and "Tho Palms" Is a solo
of household familiarity. A propoa of
singing In English, the tenor, Slgnor Zarnl,
made a decided hit by singing for an encoro
"Because" It was a novel idea. Tho bal
lad Is a catchy one and his enunciation
was understood.
Tho Liszt polonaise by tho band wns a
great achievement, thrilling in Its devel
opment and in Its thunderous crcscendos
and sforzandos and played ns by. "those
hnvlng authority." Here the perfection of
the band's ensemblo Is conclusively set
forth. The brass section of tho Innes forces
strikes ono nB ponderous ruthcr than flar
ing; a dcalrablo effect and ono seldom
noticed In othor bands.
Tho "Prlnco Charming" march Is a re
incarnation of "Lovo is King," the march
that mado a hit at tho TransmleslppI expo
sition. Kryl, tho cornctlst, Is n wonder In
reality. Ho produces a good tone In four
distinct "registers," If ono may borrow the
term from tho vocnl sldo of tho nrt.
An Interesting featuro of tho concerts
was tho omnipresent and apparently omni
scient young gentlcmnn who arranged tho
"number" cards according to tho place on
tho programs of tho various pieces. Ho re
joices in tho euphonious name of Master
Lawrence McCloskey and ho docs his work
with tho conscientiousness of ono who
knows his duty.

Tho Orphoum bill this wook has a good
deal to offer in tho way of vnrloty and not

and several havo merit to tako the dig

least thoy will wlj. to hear ono nlr, "I
Can't Tell Why I Love. You," as Miss Ray
