LL'AU, S. D., May 26. (Special.) The ac

stake company in Importance. The Home
stake ore lode Is being sought for by the
Mack Hills licit Development company on

wood and Lead business men, it operating
a fifty-ton cyanide plant, which has re
cently bogun paying dividends. Adjoining
this property tho Alta Mining company of
Denver has begun the erection of a fifty

ican flog was draped from each side of tho
church nnd tho stars and stripes also hung
gracefully from tho pulpit and the cholr
ninster'n stand. .
Rev. Edwnrd F. Trefz delivered a beauti
fully worded memorial sermon, In which ho
paid high compliment to the valor of tho
American soldier and recalled tho honora
ble achievements for liberty and civiliza
tion that had been brought about by tho
patriotism of tho nation. To those who
had sacrificed their lives on the battle
field for freedom, for liberty and for Chris
tian civilization tho nation could nover
liquidate Its debt of gratitude.
Tho preacher deplored the custom ot
giving over Memorial day to sports and
umuscments. "It Is not a day for rejoic
ing and frivolity." said he, "but one on
which our eyes should bo dimmed with
tears of mourning for tho noblo men who
have1 died In tho service that was necessary
for tho upholding of tho principles of our
progressive nnd honorablo nation."
Tho service closed with the singing ot
tho national hymn by tho congregation.

"Lessons from tho Flowers" was the
timely topic of Rov. D. K. Tlndnll's morn
ing sermon at Trinity Methodist Episcopal
church. It directed attention to the tact
thai In making this earth for man's home
tho Creator boautlflen It with trees, plants
and flowers, Just as an earthly parent
would adorn a home he was building for
his son. The minister recalled tho home
ot tho Vanderhllts In Now York, where the
parcntnl mansion was connected with tho
ono constructed for his son by n hnllwny.
So Is man's earthly homo connected with
tho henvenly bomn of tho Father. Tho
wbr.Id without flowers would bo Indeed bnr
ron and uninviting. That flowers wero
made for man Is shown by tho fact that
they were created Just before man. They
did not exist m tne tertiary or glacial per
iods. Thero Is a world of beauty In
flowers. Martin Luther saw It nnd always
kept some In a vaso upon bis tablo.
Shnkespcnto'a homo Is said to have been an
Alpine valley of (lowers'. Milton, In all his
Btibllmlty, loved them and Talmaga eays that
flowers are the angels of the grasses. An
other has said that the stars aro tho
llowpra of heaven, nnd still another that
the variegated stars of heaven are the poetry
of the skies.
Flowers. teach wisdom. They point to the
brovlty of Ufa nnd exemplify Christian
faithfulness. They are found everywhere.
Some flowers nro most fragrant when
bruised, as Christ wns when he was
bruised by the slnn of the world. Milton
was blind when he wrote "Paradise Lost,"
nnd Dunyan In Jail when ho wrote "Pil
grim's Progress." They were the flowers
of" the human race and most fragrant when
bruised. It Is from flowers that we learn
tho lesson of the providence of Ood.
Omnipotent ' Christ,
Hev. J. W. Jennings, presiding elder of
tho Omaha district, preached the morning
sermon and conducted communion services
at Hansoom Park Methodist Episcopal
church Sunday morning. Dr. Jennings took
his text from Colossl.ns II. 9-10: ''tor In
Him dwelleth all lbo fulnesB of tho God
head bodily. And yo are complete In Him.
which Is tho head ot nil principality and
power." ,,..ii

Sentiments
est minds In the world. The power of His
gospel Is understood by all men who rea
son and think rationally. Sir Charles Hart
was recently asked what was a possible
solution for tlje Chinese problem. Ho said
that the miraculous spread ot Christianity
In Its purest and best typo Is the best so
lution. It Is llkewlso the solution ot the
problem of tho world's redemption,
"If wo would put the doctrines of Jesus
Christ Into our practical work, In every
particular and every dotnil, what an In
teresting meeting wo could havo If wo
should come together to recount our ex
periences. If for one week we should en
deavor to subordinate all things to Jesus
Christ, making Him uppermost in all our
enterprises, doing npthlng except what
would bo to tho glory of God nnd the' lift
ing up of Jesus Christ in the community,
In our business. In politics, In our nodal
and everyday life, what an experience we
would have! Christ's coming Into the
world marked a now epoch In Its develop
ment." Sermon for Veternna.
Tho services at tho Seward Street Meth
odist church were thoroughly lu keeping
with tho spirit of tho day. Besides the
usual Sunday morning congregation, there
was n generous quota of civil war veterans
with their relatives, Georgo Crook post No.
262, Grand Army ot tho Republic, Its
Women's Relief corps and the Grand Army
Garfield circle being there In a body. The
Interior of the church was liberally decor
ated with flags, bunting and flowers. Par
ticular Interest ccntored about onn ot these
banners a tattered and battle-stained spec
imen of old glory that had waved from the
battlements of Fort Donelson.
After the song service, raado up of patri
otic airs, tho pastor, Rov, C. N. Dawson,
preached a sermon to the old soldiers, In
which he related rriany anecdotes ot the
troublous times of the enrly '60s nnd paid
a touching trlbuto to the wearer of the
modest little bronze hutton. He said he
was only bIx weeks old when his father
and uncle went to tho war, so most of
his narratives, perforce, came recond
handed, but were none tho less entertain
ing for that.
Referring to the wearer of tho little
bronze button, he said he always felt- like
taking hlB hat off to him when ho mot
him on tho street. "Maybe at Donelson
he reached the Inner trench." said he; "at
Shlloh held the broken line; at Chat
tanoogn climbed the flame-swept bill, or
stormed the clouds on Lookout heights.
He was not born to soldier life. His coun
try's summons called him from the plow,
tho forge, the loom, tho office, the col
lege. Ho did not fight for greed or gold.
Ho loved the peaqe of quiet ways, and yet
he broke the clasp ot loving arms to face
death on desperate fields."
In Honor ( Fallen Hemes.
At tho First Fresbyterlan church Sun.
day morning the services were in the na
turo of memorial services for the soldiers
of the civil war who have died. Tbe mem

pulpit with cut flowers. Around tho walla
were placed pictures of tho federal leaders
In the civil war, Including Lincoln, Grant,
Custer and McKlnley.
Tho pastor of the church. Rev. E. H.
Jrnks, preached the memorial sermon, tak
ing as his text Exodus xll, 14 and xlll, 6.
He recalled the triumphal processions of
Rome, where the captives were led In chains
in tbe train ot the conquerors, and said
being worked by Custer business men. The
University company has purchased the
Drcxel gold mine, eight miles west of Custer,
and the Gold Fish company has acquired

Omaha Preachers
Talk Patriotism.
that tho celebrations of today did not In
Bplro In tho hearts of men the love ot
conquest which was tho result of the
Roman triumphs; thnt today, while wo
glorify tho victors, thcro is no scorn In
tho heart for the vanquished; thnt In com
memorating the glory of tho soldiers of
Amorlca wo saw them not ns soldiers, but
something higher nnd better than sol
diers. American citizens who wore ready
to become soldiers not for the purpose of
conquest nnd glory, but to defend the honor
of the country nnd to extend tho Influence
of the principles of llbcrt.- and freedom
which prevail In this country. It has been
snld that patriotism Is dead, but the
speaker believed that this statement wns
shown to be false by tho action of tho
sons of the civil war veterans In tho war
with Spain and their exploits In the Phil
lpplnes, whore they are planting the seeds
of liberty and extending tho sway of ths
flag.
Abovci all, In the actions of tho Amer
ican citizen soldier the preacher saw tho
hand of God working out tho destiny of
humanity, nnd cautioned Ills hearers to see
that tho American flag was not permitted
to stand for something It has never yet
represented, tyranny and oppression, but
to do nil In their power to keep It ever
tho emblem of freedom nnd progress.
Importance of Decoration Day.
Georgo Crook post, Grand Army of the
Republic, with Its auxiliary. Crook Relief
corps, wero present at the First Christian
church Sunday evening, whoro tho pastor,
Rev. Sumner T. Martin, preached a mem
orial sermon. Tho church wns decorated
with bunting nnd potted plants, tho stnrs
nnd stripes bolng drnped over tho pulpit
and beforo tho seats of tho choir.
Tho minister took ns his theme "God
in American History," his text being
Psalms xvlll, 8-11. ' In part he said: "In
this imagery tho Hebrew psalmists set out
tho growth of Israel. God planted the vino
and by miracles of power ho preserved It.
His hand was In the establishment of their
national greatness, but when they proved
recroant to their trust and forgot the God
who made them God Anally scattered them
abroad among the heathen, that they might
lenrn to be faithful through suffering.
Thcro Is almost as much demonstration of
the hand of Ood In tbe affairs of the Amer
ican republic as there whb In tbe history
of the Jows. Ho has led us through every
crisis and If we prove false. If wo set up
gods of our own making, if wo become
puffed up with power and forget God we
will bo cast down.
"To men nnd to nations glory comes
through well doing. This country has wit
nessed tho lofttcst achievements over made
for tho good of humanity and will con
tinue to lend as long as It remembers the
brotherhood of mnn, of tho fntherhnod of
God. The flag and the cross stand Inter
twined. When tho American soldier fights
he fights not only for tho glory of his
country but for tho advancement of re
llglon. It Is therefore right that wo should
honor tbo veterans, living and dead.
"Decoration day Is taking tho placo for
merly occupied by the Fourth of July, a
time when wo look back over the record
of our national achievements. Let ub re
member that tho battles of these soldiers
will bavo been 'ought In vnln If wo do not
do our part In bolvlng the questions of
peaco and keep the national honor bright.
In the handling of the lands which havo
come under our bands wo must not carry
to thera our fnults and our weaknesses,
but we must treat the people as brothers
In need nnd over all will float au untar
nished banner.

COLUMUUS, O., May 26. Governor Nash

Today his Indisposition was such that tho

STAGNANT WEEK ON BOURSE

BERLIN. May 26.-Condltlons on the
bourse Inst week were very stagnant, not
withstanding an easier money market than
had been known for yearsf Many factors
combined to produce a weak market. The
Northern Pacific Incident continues to renct
here, causing an almost total cessation of
business In tho American department, In
addition to this, the new mortgage bank
vcandnl had a very depressing effect. Other
causes of weakness were the Prussian
crop report, tho reduced April earnings of
the great coal companies, the renewed price
falls and shutdowns nt Elwenmnrkt and
heavy sales of Swiss Northeast railroad
stock, which fell oft CH points upon snles
by Berne capitalists.
Tho bank scandal caused heavy selling
nf obligations of the two concerns nt
fectcd, but tho other mortgage bunks held
their own, the public being convinced that
their condition Is sound. General bank
stock lost an average of 4 points upon a
growing conviction of unfavorable banking
conditions nnd tho belief that the low
Interest, tho light brokerage business nml
the declining value of securities held would
necessitate n renewal of crlte-offs at the
end of tho year.
Domestic government funds were weak,
but prices fairly maintained. German
3s wero returned In rather largo amounts
from New York nnd London, but these
were easily absorbed.
Tho Northern Pacific affair, says the
Kreuz Xeltung, had n greater effect here
than was at tlrst supposed, through Ger
man short-selling In New York and Ion
don of tho common shares which were not
dealt In on the Berlin bourse. Several
sales of the common stock were effected
Friday at prices from 186 to 210 to buyers
cnught In the corner. Foreign exchange Is
declining through the Improved money mar
ket abroad. New York Is weal: through
tho returning of securities thither, Amster
dam Is now below the gold point, after
some gold exports during the week.
Germany's Imports for April were 3,W1.
SCO tons, or tin Increase of 20O.S9C tons. Ex
ports for thu snmo mouth were 2.4;c,S5l
tons, or a decreaso of 100,490 tons. The pig
Iron production last month was G51,9S5 tons,

home stocks were quiet In sympathy. The!
action of tho stock exchange committee for
general purposes In suspending the buying
In of Northern Pacific sfnircM until .tunc 10.
has been somewhat criticised on the ground
thnt tho bears had already hud more graco
than was expected. It Is expected that a
number have already covered, prices run
ning up to 210.
A suggestion has also been innde that tho
committee refuse further nrntectlon. ex
cept on transactions otllctallv rennrteil to
them. It has further been pointed out that
I In this manner the true dimensions of the
short interest could bo seen anil adequate
steps bo taken to clear up the situation.
The resumption of norrnnl conditions Is Im
possible until this Is accomplished.
A curious development of the last week
has been thnt while thu Northern Pacltlc
i crisis was convulsing the big arbitrage
. houses, a snviller. but very similar, corner
In London, Brighton und South Coast ordl-
1 nary shares caught half a dozen local
brokers. Tho action of tho stock exchange
committee for general purposes In the mat
ter of thu Northern Pacific settlement
i furnished victims of tho Brighton corner
with n nrecedent. so dear to the English
man, nnd the half dozen brokers lu ques
tion have npplled to tho stock vxchnnge for
a suspension of the settlement of their ac
counts also.
Consuls during the pnst week scarcely
moved nnd dealings In them wero almost
nil. Following thu recent stringency the
outlook for money Is now easier. Tho bat
nnces from the French banks Indicate that
the Russian loan was subscribed ten times
over. English critics say that the develop
ment of Russia, although Immense, Is not
keeping pace with her expenditures und
that she Is Increasingly dependent upon
tho foreigner for capital Another Russian
loan Is predicted within six months.
