KNEELS UPON SHARP CINDER ROADBED
Asks the Lord to Prevent Iinpenillnu
Catastrophe tuuanal Scene on
the Burlington Ilnule Near
Timber, lown.
Au aged woman, with uplifted bands and
voice and knees bent unflinchingly against
the sharp gravel of the roadbed provided
nn unusual feature of the collision that oc
curred on tho Durllngton road west of
'lhayer, la., tarly Saturday night. The
engine pulling westbound passenger train
Ko, 15 blew out a cylinder head between
stations and a freight train was trailing.
.Tha passengers learned of the circum
stances and many left the, cars, the raon
going forward to help the engineer swear
and the wnuiin assembling at the side of
the track to say some milder things. A
flagman was hurried back to halt the
freight, but among the women was one of
English birth who had long been a mission
worker and who had considerably less faith
In red signals tban In the efficacy of prayer.
Without separating herself from the group
or attempting other privacy she promptly
kntlt and prayed, audibly and fervently
that th- catastrophe might be averted or at
least no lives lost.
Unmiigr Is SIIkM.
The llagman, meantime, had not covered
sufficient distance to give tho engineer of
the freight as early a warning as he re
quired and airbrakes and reversed drivers
together could not bring the string of heavy
cars to a full stop before the rear car of
the pastenger train was reached. 'The con
sequence was a collision, but only a slight
one that Injured no one seriously and ex
pended ItK damaging force on the rear pas
senger coach.
The woman of faith was duly grateful for
even small favors, however, and did not
neglect to kneel again, as soon as shu
learned that no lives were lost, and offer up
thanks, followed by hosannas sung with the
true fervor of devout' rejoicing. Later she
remarked to those about her that she was 67
years old and had never yet appealed to her
Lord In vain. She wouldn't even divide
credit with the flagman for the preservation
of the endangered lives.
The passenger train, due In Omaha nt
10:20 p. m.. got under way again In about
three hours, arriving here at 1:15 a. m.
COLORED FOLKS' PICNIC
Wnllflnvrern Fall to Thrive nt Iluner'n
Tnrk, but Other Bloom
Are Glorious.
There were no wallflowers at the colored
folks' picnic In Ruser's park Sunday. The
volatile .spirits, the swing and ripple of the
.ragtime music and the shouts of merri
ment presented a form of Infection against
which no one wns immune. Everyone. In
his own little firmament, was a star. No
case of the blues could hold out against
such a conspiracy of Bacchus. Euterpe and
Terpsichore, and when the strains of the
last waltz died away the picnickers were
unnnlmoud In voting the day a success.
The occasion was an outing given by the
Pleasure Seekers' club of Omaha to a train
load of excursionists from Kansas' City find
Kaolifci Kau, . A-. train al nine coaches ax
Tlved from the city by the Kaw's mouth
shortly before 10 Sunday morning. There
were 450 persons on board, with Ncls Crews,
colored orator, at their head, and this
number Included the members of the Met
ropolitan band. Several colored organlzi
tlons of Omaha were at the station to meet
the visitors. After the train had discharged
Its passengers a procession wan formed,
led by (he band and such well known local
figures as Ole Jackson and Vic Walker on
horseback.
The trip out to the park was In Itself well
worth the taking. The first incident of note
occurred at the point where the street cars
drop the crowds and the carryalls pick
them up. Here was waged all day a spirited
rivalry among the drivers of the wagon.
The business was launched at first In the
form of a trust, all of the drivers charging
25 cents a head for transportation between
Hanscom park and the picnic grounds, a
distance of three miles. Then one of them,
In his haste to get a load, cut the price to
15 cents, and thenceforth the rates were
demoralized. They dropped from 15 cents
to 10 cents, thence to 5 cents, and for nn
beer is the beer of civiliza
tion. Go to any part of the
earth where mankind values
purity, and you will find
Schlitz beer is the recognized
pure .beer.
For fifty years the Schlitz
agencies have followed
white men's conquests.
They are twenty years old
in South Africa.
. Schlitz beer was famous in
Siberia before a railroad was
thought of.
When Japan and China
first began to awake, Schlitz
beer was advertised in their
newspapers.
Almost as soon as Dewey
captured Manila 216 car
loads of Schlitz were sent
there. .
Today Schlitz agencies so
dot the globe that when it js
midnight at one it is noon
day at another.
The quality by which
Schlitz beer has won distinc
tion has been its absolute
purity. Every physician the
world over will recommend
Schlitz, the beer that made
Milwaukee famous.

hour during the afternoon one resentful
Jehu was hauling people for nothing. Then
a truce was patched up among them, and
for the rest of the day the fare one way
was 10 cents,
The picnic grojnd presented a scene of
revelry from 10 a. m. until far Into the
nlgW. There was a gay medley of music,
of waiters flitting hither and thither among
the trees, of pleasant pastoral scenes and
sounds, of merry crowds about the tables
and In the dancing pavilions, of popping
corks and tinkling glasses, the smtll of
hop and the graceful undulations of the
cakewalker. The boy who played the
piano, Willie Young, at your service, from
Kansas City, could play a quadrille, call (iff,
smoke a cigarette and carry on a conversa
tion with two persons, all at the same time.
Even then he didn't appear to be fully oc
cupied. The address of welcome was made by
James O. Brooks of Omaha, who Introduced
Nels Crew, the Fred Douglas of Kansas
City. Mr. Crew's remarks were short and
to the point. He advocated the eschewing
of politics by the colored man and the tak
ing Up of substantial business pursuits.
Benjamin McKay of Kansas City followed
him. Mr. McRay Is president of the McRiy
Benevolent and Protective association,
under the direction of which the excursion
Was given.
Some of the visitors returned to Kaasas
City last night, but the greater number re
mained over until today.
SHIRT WAIST A FIXTURE
Omnha IteeoKnlrea It n the Correct
Thing Socially as Well n
Commerclnll).
The shirt waist has after many days been
officially countenanced In Omaha trade and
society, U Is no longer a Joke and the
finger of scorn has pointed by to other
things. Omaha Is well to the front lo its
adoption, as the New York papers even yet
speculate as to when the garment will be
looked upon seriously.
The mall carriers of Omaha arc the first
to give commercial sanction to the waist
and but for a slight oversollcltude on their
part might have been the absolute pioneers
In the movement. Their waists arrived as
contracted for from St. Louis, spick and
span. In color a delicate cerulean blue.
Wives and sisters, however, regarded the
tint wltha suspicious eye. It was gener
ally decided that the waists should be
subjected to a salt water soak before being
exposed to the sun and rain.
And In .the meantime the High school
seniors captured the honor of the waist's
official Inauguration. As Saturday night,
set apart for the alumni social, approached
the senior men, seventy-five strong, went
Into executive session. There were eigh
teen dances on the program, with encores
to every number, and as manv extras a
good-natured orchestral leader could be In
duced to insert "I can beat ten feet In the
pole vault." said a lanky senior, "but If I
go through those dances in a dress suit
will be my earthly end. '
Thus It came about that the shirt waist
as formally presented to Omaha nr(fv.
The seniors appeared in a refined hayflcld
costume and If they missed a dance It was
because they were strolling on the lawn In
good company. It Is the young who set
he pace and the shirt waist mav now ho
worn by any man; It Is In the mode.
CONGRESSMANJJEVILLE TALKS
Xorth Platte Statesman Says Kaslon-
Uta Should Keep Oat of Guber
natorial Situation.
Congressman William Neville of North
Platte is In Omaha, having come down to
attend the obsequies of the late Mrs. Joseph
revuie, which occurred Sunday. He does
not seem to think that there Is likely to be
any nomination for governor by the fu
slonlsts this fall In response to the sug
gestion that there Is a vacancy in the ex
ecutive office because of the retirement of
Senator Dietrich.
"If I were to give my opinion on the
subject," said Congressman Neville, "I
thould say there will be no nomination.
Yes. I see that Yelser has rendered his
opinion to the effect that there will be, I
do not belong to the class that Is looking
for trouble and as long as the law says so
plainly mat in case of the death or dis
ability or resignation of the governor, the
lieutenant governor shall perform the du
ties to the end of the term and enjoy
the emoluments of the office, I don't see
that It makes any difference what you may
call htm, he Is going to be governor until
the term expires. I don't see that there is
any excuse in the law for any attempt
to nominate any other governor until the
end of the term for which Senator Diet
rich was elected, for the lieutenant governor
will be governor until that time."
Doetrlnr at Divine I.ove.
Rev. Merton Smith, evangelist, occupied
the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church
yesterday morning and preached the doc
trine of divine love. "To know God is
eternal life, and he that loveth not, know
eth not God" was bis thought.
"The love of Gcd It better than the best
of human love. The human heart loves
that It may acquire and the divine heart
loves that It may give and bestow. You
may know of God, you may know all about
Him that is contained In the gospel, but
you cannot know Him until you have taken
hltt Into your heart and lived with Him."
At the conclusion of the sermon Herman
Bellstedt played "The Holy City" on the
cornet, with organ accompaniment by Mrs.
Howard Kennedy.
Value of the Soul.
Rev. R. M, Stevenson, pastor of the Sec
ond Presbyterian church, preached Sunday
morning from the theme, "The Value ef
the Human Soul."
"Do we fully comprehend the signifi
cance," he asked, "of that great gathering
of missionaries In Carnegie hall. New York,
a few weeks ago? There were mission
aries from alt parts of the world-, and the
public was so Interested In the convention
that SO, 000 tickets of admission were Usued.
That great hall was taxed to Its capacity.
At the same time there was an overflow
meeting In Calvary Baptist church across
the street, and another in the First Presby
terian church on a neighboring corner.
What was the significance of all this, In
this material age, In the great commercial
mart of the world? It was significant of the,
importance that Is placed upon the human
soul.
"Just at present there Is a somewhat sim
ilar demonstration right here In Omaha.
There Is lo be a series of gospel meetings
In a big "tent that Is to move about from
one part of the city to another. This shows
the ralue this community places upon the
human soul. We have learned that If the
non-church-going people won't come to us
we must go to them."
Rev, Tlndall' Travel.
At Trinity Methodist church last night
Rev. D. K. Tlndall, pastor, spoke on his
trip from Jerusalem to Jericho. "Our
Journey," he said, "will be about twenty
miles first southeast and then northeast,
and though Jericho Is north of Jerusalem,
yet to reach It we must make a dtscent
cf almost 3,000 feet. Hence, It Is said, a
certain man went down to Jericho. Jeru

Advanced Conditions of reonle anil
Thins Bring Abont Changed In
Army Operation forts to
lie Abandoned.
The Isolated army posts where little
bands of heroes have withstood etorms of
savages, in the minds of romancers, have
been condemned to the Junkplle of civiliza
tion along with the prairie freighter and
the bones of the bison. The War depart
ment has determined to mass the troops
near centers of population. There Js no
longer danger of Indian uprisings In nu
merous sections where posts are maintained.
It is expensive to keep up these garrisons
and they will be called In.
A board of officers will shortly be detailed
for the purpose of designating the stations
to be turned over to the Interior depart
ment for such use as It sees fit. All of the
posts threatened are beyond the lines of
travel and it is desired to dispose of them
and arrange quarters eltewhere In time to
accommodate the troops returning from the
Philippines.
May Abandon Poor.
Major F. H. Hathaway, who is responsible
for the condition of posts In the Depart
ment of the Missouri through his position
as quartermaster, says that four garrisons
under his supervision may be affected. Forts
Sill and Iteno In the Indian Territory and
Forts Robinson and Niobrara In Nebraska
are no longer essential to the safety of their
respective communities. The abandonment
of the Nebraska posts will Increase the
garrison at Fort Crook, that being the
natural retreat of the Tenty Infantry now
on the frontier of this state. The troops
of the Eighth cavalry at Forts Sill and
Reno will be sent to Fort Riley. Kan.
Fort Robinson was established In 1ST0 In
response to a demand for protection against
the north Sioux tribes. Niobrara, also on
the Rrvebud agency, was built eight ycais
later, and both posts are connected Ineol
ubly with the exciting events of Indian
border warfare during the last quarter cen
tury. ,
The Indian Territory posts were con
structed at considerable expense, that at
Fort Sill being formed of solid masonry. It
was established In 1870, the first commander
being Colonel Grlerson of tne famous Tenth,
who has since become a brigadier general.
Fort Reno was built four years later and a
good share of the history of the Indian
frontier centered there, the Cheyennes,
Arapahoes, Comanches, Klowas and Apaches
giving constant trouble for years. The In
dian is plowing his cornfield now, however,
and the only use for the posts Is to give
the soldiers a place of habitation and cer
tain officers a station command.

The third evening service at the reor
ganized Southwest Presbyterian church, at
Twentieth and Leavenworth streets, oc
curred last evening with the pastor,-Rev.
Walter N. Halseys in the ptilp'lf.
The first regular service In the church
since Its dissolution several years ago was
held Sunday evening two weeks' ago with
an attendance of 328. The reorganization
has taken place under the auspices of the
First Presbyterian church which hae eon
ducted a Sunday school there with Dr. W.
O. Henry as superintendent. Between $500
and $600 has been spent In repairs recently
and the result Is a cool and pleasant church
edifice. At present the church apparently
has a brighter future before It than at any
time since Us Inception in 1884, when Rev
Thomas Hall was the first pastor. The
First Presbyterian church has guaranteed
the pastor's salary and the church members
will be called upon to contribute the other
expenses of maintenance. There will be no
morning services for a few wweks. Yester
day sixteen young people pledged them
selves as members of the Christian En
deavor society.
The subject for the sermon yesterday
evening was "The Reward of Righteous
ness" And the text was found In Daniel
xll : 3:They that be wise shall shine as
the brightness of the firmament and they
that turn many to righteousness, as the
stars forever and ever."
Thoughts
salem Is on the crest of a mountain; Jericho
In the Jordan valley. The road we are to
travel Is of great Interest, for It Is the one
Jesus traveled on his way to Jerusalem
Just before his crucifixion. We cross the
Kedron to the western slope of the Mount
of Olives and pass along the Garden of
Getbsemane, which Is beautifully kept by a
Franciscan monk in honor of the awful
night Jesus spent there. The same old
olive tree under whose bows Jesus knelt
and prayed and sweat, as It were, great
drops of blood, Is still pointed out to the
traveler; and since the olive tree lives to
so great an age It Is possible this may be
the one, though not likely. He passed
through the little Interesting village of
Bethany, where Jesus loved to stop with
Lazarus and Mary and Martha, saw the re
puted cave of Lazarus, where for four days
his body lay entombed and where Jesus
called It to life.
"One has strange feelings as he standi
where resurrectlve power has been exer
cised. In this same little town Jesus was
given a reception in the home of Simon,
the leper, perhaps because He had cleansed
Simon of leprosy or possibly because He
had raised Lazarus; and for some reason it
was thought best to hold the reception In
Simon's t jfiie. Lazarus and his sisters
were there. Jesus had few homes and re
ceptions In His Incarnate days, but has
many ol tbem now, both on earth and In
heaven, In homes and In hearts. Bethany
Is now occupied by beggars and thieves, as
I know from experience. We ate our
luncheon at noon on this Journey In the
shadow of the walls of the old Inn where
the good Samaritan took care of the
wounded Jew, and we talked of the great
est of all good Samaritans, who died to
care for a world of wounded hearts and
lives. We passed the very spot w;here- lit
tle Zacbeus climbed the sycamore tree to
see Jesur and we rejoiced to think that
abou half the people of this world are
trying to catch a glimpse of our Savior.
The large mound which marks the resting
place of Adam's dust and that of his fam
ily, as well as the awful consequences of
the sin of covetousnesi, Is near our road,
as was the spot where blind Barttmeus
tat by the wayside begging, and Jesus
opened lfls eyes.
"This same great physician Is ready tn
open the atn-b)lnd eyes of the whole world.
As we drew near the brook Cheerlth, the
place where Elijah was fed by the ravens
was pointed out to us. How mysteriously
and graciously our Heavenly Father hsi
cared for His children. Imagine our de

It is understood that the appointment of
Hon. P. M. Mullln to be receiver of public
moneys at the United States land office at
Rampant City, Alaska, will be made by the
president today. The matter has been ou
the tapis for some time and Is now being
expedited In order tht Mr. Mullln may ar
range his affairs In Omaha and get to his
post of duty before the end of the short
Alaskan summer.
You may not know where Rampant City
Is unless you have recently been ap
proached by a booster for the Yukon Valley
railroad. He would have told you that
Rampant City Is on the Yukon river, not
far from Dawson, and that It Is, the Amer
ican metropolis of that section of the
world. At the time the census was taken
last year 211 souls were enumerated as
residents there. The population Is prob
ably not far from that number now. Ram
pant City Is Just outside the Arctic Circle
and Is free from the menace of the Ice

Central Ideas from

once bitter, but now sweet and limpid, wat
ers of Ellsha's fountain, which that prophet
sweetened with salt In his day. We ate.
sang, slept and dreamed on the very' spot
where Israel marched, blew rams' horns and
shouted and where Jericho became an easy
prey to God's conquering host. His people
are still conquerors where they trust Him

Stick Close to Nature,
"Thou shah not seethe a kid" In Its
mother's milk," Deut, slv, 21. This was the
text by Rev. Thomas Anderson yesterday
morning in Calvary Baptist church. The
reference was to a cuitom of the ancients
who were wont to boll a kid In the milk
of Its parent and use the resulting broth
as a fertilizer for their fields.
Rev. Anderson Interpreted the text as an
Injunction against all unnaturallsm. He
said: "All outrages against nature In any
way, the perversion of feelings or senti
ments, were far-reaching In their Injurlouj
effects, as they were certain to leave a
mark on character and soul. What Is un
natural is sinful. Therefore harbor, cher
ish and feed the instincts of humanity.
Maintain an abhorrence of everything gross
and unnatural. One who tortures any life,
his own or another's, shows a lack of char
acter. Nature has rights that cannot be
disregarded save at a cost.
"One cannot Inflict needless pain without
suffering in the lowering of his own char
acter the effects of the reflex action of such
unnaturallsms. Thus there is much tn
sports that is degrading. Sport Is good,
but only when It Is not at the expense of
the finer feelings. It Is difficult not to be
come unconsciously brutalized. Ernest Sc
ton Thompson, who went among the wild
animals, unarmed and not hostile, to re.
turn and tell the world about the animals
he bad known, is far more to be admired
than Theodore Roosevelt, who went armed
with a rifle and came back to tell about
the animals be bad killed."

Amusements
Frrrla Compnny nt no(t'.
One of the few cool spots In the vicinity
of Omaha yesterday was Boyd's theater,
where the new ventilating apparatus was
put to a severe test, and proved equal to
the task. In the afternoon a large audience
assembled to see Miss Haywood for the last
time. In the evening a reasonably large
crowd was present to greet Miss Pearl
Seward. Her bow to Omaha thcatergoera
was made under rather disadvantageous
conditions. She came directly here from
New York, reaching Omaha on Saturday.
Her part was given her Friday on the train
