Now that the repiibllcon county commit

tho feet of the patriots who are anxious
to serve the people.
For the republican shrievalty nomination
there arc at least a dozen randldates, active
snd passive. Nearly every ward In the
city presents one or two candidates and
South Omaha comes forth with a brace,
rt. A. Corncer and N. 1'. Swanson are
Second warders whose names have been
mentioned In connection with the shriev
alty, Mr. Corncer, who has gathered honors
fiom service In the state legislature, Is
not mi active candidate, but his friends
have kept him well la the public eye,
nevertheless. Mr, Swanson has given the
public a sample of his ability as a public
Jii'rvant in tho coroner's olllcc nnd It Is
whlbpcrcd that he Is willing to officiate
at the Inquest on John Power's political
en ivor.
Thii front (lie l'uiirlli.
The Fourth ward presents Frank Handle
nnd George, Nicholson. Handle Is a veteran
of the diamond, having caught many a
brilliant game, although he has never be
Yore attempted to slide the political bases.
Nicholson, so It Is said, Is not making nny
uffort In his own behalf and Is not a
candidate In the true sense.
Leroy K. Lucas, who has for some years
led a busy life dealing In roal and who
lives In tho Fifth ward, where he has been
nctlve In ward politics, Is one of the most
aiggrcsslvo hustlers for the nomination.
Ills cards, proclaiming that he will make

republican convention, nro already being
distributed.
In tho Seventh ward a candidate Is found
In the person of John Grant, well known
ns n paving contractor, and tho ttlghth
ward offers tho name of James Allan,
present deputy United States marshal. Mr.
Allan has been In the public service for
more thun a few years, having been a
member of the legislature, a rensus-takcr
ns well as a city sidewalk Inspector.
Oeorgo C. Thompson of tho Union Pa
cific freight ofrtco, residing In the Ninth
ward, would consent to tako charge of
tho county Jail and servo warrants nnd

of Ed Peterson nf the Ulghth ward have
iut his name Into circulation. Peterson
trlod for tho nomination two years ngo,
but failed.
For county Judge It Is customary to re
nominate the Incumbent for a second term
and Judge Vinbonhaler Is therefore In lino
us n candidate with excellent prospects.
Ho Is not without opposition, however, two
other candidates for tho nomination having
put In nn nppearanco. 1). F. Thomas, city
prosecutor nnd former candidate for po
lloo Judgo, and II, P, Stoddart arc the
men who are trying to take the measure

though it Is one of the bc3t paying offices

Thomas Crocker Is ninklng nn active cam

Amusements
Kruu' Park
The biggest nttendanco and most diversi
fied amusement of the fcason were the
record for Krug pnrk yesterday. Over
23,000 people Hocked out to this popular
resort nnd made It appear like a vast bee
hive of humanity. Every street car, with
moro than a score of extras running, wns
loaded to capacity and still the service
was not equal to tho demand,
The. hit of the new attractions that
opened yesterday wns the sacred music In
conjunction with the production of tho
"Passion Play" by Chambers' Celestial
choir. This Is a positive Innovation in the
amusement line, creditable to the Ingenuity
of tho management of Krug park, nnd
It 1b one that gives promise of growing In
popular favor. The choir Is composed of
twenty-two sweet young voices, ten boys
and twelve girls. It rendered the "Holy
City" and "Just Dehlnd tho Times" very
Impressively. Miss Honnlc Oaylord led In
the rendition of "Just llehlnd the Times"
nnd Miss Jessie Solyord the "Holy City."
Iloth these young misses have pretty so
prano voices, which they wield clfectlvely.
Tho Cleos, the sensational aerial artists,
presented a fine blgh-trapezo net, which
mndo good with the nudlcnce. They are
booked for performances nt 4 p. m. and
8 p. m. every dny this week.

unknown negro. Two negroes Inquired for
Vallard shortly after he bad returned homo

Said in
Flosvem for the Llvlntr,
Rev. Edward F. Trcfz preached tho doc
trine of un3Clfl3hncss from tho pulpit of
KounUo Memorial church yesterday, tho
subject of his sermon, "Flowers for tbo
Living," Indicating the drift of his re
marks. In substance bo said:
"This old world Is not crying for new
Ideus, It Is not wanting Inventive genius
and creative power. It Is not lacking In en
terprise and progress, but what It sorely
lacks Is a diffusion of kindness and sym
pathy. Tho world Is some better than It
was a century ago and much better than It
was centuries ago. In tho early ycais of
tho world's existence Its great achieve
ments were accomplished through tho power
of physical'' force, and ns the centuries
passed tho great Intellectual forco came
Into play. Tho addition of mental force to
physical powers ha6 by no means per
fected tho human race; what Is needed Is
the addition of kindness nnd sympathy.
"Man Is gold mad becauso ho Is power
mad. Ho Is not after gold for the gold It
self, but for the power that It gives him
among his fellnwmen. Aud how many who
nchlovo this power know how to use It?
True, wo hnvo secured through the asilst
nnco of men who have succeeded In the mad
rush for gold our homes for orphanB, tho
aged, tho disabled our hospitals' nnd asy
lums and many other Institutions for the
caro of unfortunato human beings. TIito
are charitable Institutions for the men who
work themselves to disability In our great
Industrial shops, 'nnd for tholr children
there aro also retreats. Hut bow much bet
'tcr tho head of a great Industrial enter
prise would uso his power and servo his
Master If ho would arrange his wago sched
ule so to put his workman In condition to
care for himself nnd his children. Such an
arrangement would bring better results
than all tho hospitals and asylums that
wealth can ever build."
DniiKer In the Path,
Rov. Frederick W. Long of Oswego, III.,
supplied the pulpit of St. Mary's Avcnua
Congregational church yesterday, In tho ab
sence of Dr. C. S. Sargent. His morning
discourse wns a review of the dangers which
threnton tho church and mako Christian
Ufa difficult.
"Thpro was a time," said tho preach'r,
"when all science was held to bo at war
with tho teaching of tho church and I bo
Ulble, But it is not so at present. The
most eminent scientists of the day are rol

L1KISCER GALLERY REOPENS
Fublio Oats First Glimpu of 0itmi
Brought Back from Eirp.
VENUS, BY RUBENS, IS MOST VALUABLE
"Itrturn of .VprlnK," ThrotiKli Which
a t'lmlr Wns Ttn'wn by nn Ouiiiha
I'll mm tie, Is In the Col
lection. Llnlngcr's art gallery was opened Sunday
morning for tho general public, after being
closed for several weeks to permit the
hanging of pictures secured by Mr. Unluger
on his recent visit to Europe, and the re
alignment and renovation of the other pic
tures In tho gallery. The hanging of tho
ennvascs has been greatly Improved and
the light now falls upon them almost per
fectly, although It Is practically Impossible
to bring out all points of each picture In
nny gallery of this kind,
Of the new pictures thcro are thirteen oil
paintings and three water colors. The most
Interesting of the new pictures to Omaha
people Is tho repaired "Return of Spring,"
tho llougurcau whose fate In this city a
few years ago made Omnha famous In art
schools for several years. Tho painting has
been fully restored nnd the marks of the
chair thrown by the fanntlc are hardly dis
cernible. It hangs In good light on tho east
wall of the gallery and nttracted conslder
ablo attention from those who were at tho
gallery Sunday, all of whom seemed to have
a personal Interest In Inspecting the el
dences of tho torn eanvns.
Mutcrplcee l Ittlhciifi.
Probably the most valuable of the nuw
pictures Is a Venus by P.ubena, which Is
considered an excellent exumplo of that
master's art. The treatment Is far from
conventional, this Venus, surrounded by
loves, being scon In a canopied chamber, re
clining upon a tapestried couch. ,
A gem by Mclssonler Is a cavalier
mounted upon a charger. It hangs near the
"Coming of Spring."
There are two pictures by the Italian
painter, Forth Tho larger Is a scene from
the "Last Days of Pompeii" Mldla, the
blind girl, nt tho well. Another is a con
ventional trcntmcnt of a Roman maiden In
a garden. Tho first picture hangs on the
southern wall, west of the door, while the
other hangs on tho same wall east of the
door.
A landscape by an American artlat, Gross,
who has found favor nnd fortuue, Is of
particular Interest and the observer will
Imnglnc that the painter has woven Into
what would be considered a typical treat
ment of u European scene a thought sug
gested by his former life in America for
there Is undoubtedly a suggestion of life on
some American stream In tho painting.
Good coloring nnd technique nro shown In
paintings by Flameng's "Garden Scene in
tho Time of the Empire." Rlvas' "Libations
of the Vestals," Speulttl's "The Proposal,"
Znffoll's "Reception to tho Cardinal" nnd
Tlpolla's "Tho Caller." A mall palntlns
by Perbovre, "The Chasseur," will excite
favorable comment.
Sketch In Witter Colors,
Of tho water colors, "Tho Mouse," by U.
Grota, shows a state of affairs often
recorded by the professional punsters, with
women standing on couches and chairs, a
mousetrap In the center of the floor from
which a cat Is striving to draw the unwill
ing occupant. The treatment Is good and
the humor contagious. An Itnllan street
scene by Lorla brings up a picture of beg
gars and princes, artists and artisans
mingled in a confusion only possible In a
holiday land, "The Seller of Ruga" Is a
conventional treatment of an oriental scene
by Slmonettt. ,
Taken all In all, the additions to tho
gallery are very creditable and go a great
way to rounding out a line collection.
The process of renovntlng and Improving
tho gallery Is not complete and Mr. 1,1
nlngcr expects to do considerable work upon
It In tho next two wcoks. A showcaoe will
be placed In the center of tho room, where
will be displayed many of the fine speci
mens of Ivory cnrvlng secured by Mr. IA
nlnger on hU recent trip. Among these are
some rnre specimens of tho work of tho
Sixteenth century, which nt this time have
not been shown. They consist of horns,'
mugs, plaques and vases of Inimitable
workmanship. Ono of tho plaques which
will be displayed Is of rock crystal cut to
exceptional thinness and mounted with
copper. On each of tho copper ends are
the Pulpit
Is not so today. The Bible has withstood all
attacks and stands more firmly entrenched
than over before In the hearts of God's peo
ple. The danger of this century Res, not
without, but within the church. The num
ber of professing Christians Is large, but
they are allowing worldllncss to Interfere
with their religious duties.
"Tho deceit of wealth, lust and the cares
of tho world may be named as the three
dangers which work against tho members
of modern churches. The greatest of these
dangers Is enre. People worry over trifles
and have their minds so filled with trivial
affairs that they do not find time to study
God's work and carry out Ills bidding."
FnlthriilueNM to Duty.
Rev. J. J. Parker of Kearney preached at
tho First Congregational church Sunday
morning In tho absence of Rev. II. C. Her
ring, the pastor, who Is now upon n vaca
tion. The theme of tho sormon was, God's bless
ing Is upon the man who does the duty God
assigns him," the minister taking his text
from the life of Joseph, son of Jacob. He
reviewed te llfo of the early Israelite as
given In the scriptures and from the his
tory drew tho following deductions-
"The way of God In developing tho char
acter of man Is ns definite ns the growth of
animal or vegetable matter, but the experi
ences through which each Individual must
pass depend upon the native attributes of
tho Individual.
"The germ of genius Is In the Infant'j
mind, and ennnot bo instilled by teachers
nnd is not miraculously Implanted by Ood
upon Important occasions. The blessing re
ceived by Joseph wns the result of his will
ingness to fulfill all duties, whother It was
as n slave In the prison or as governor in
the palace. The blessings of God eonslst qf
the nbllity to discern the golden oppor
tunity, clearheadedness in time nf general
excitement and cool Judgment, which takes
advantage of all means for success."
Prnjiiin (or Itnln.
Rev. D. K. Tlndall of Trinity Methodist
church spoke In part as follows last night:
"My text Is found In Second Chronicles,
7:13. I take for my themo. 'Is It Worth
While to Pray for Rain?' Somo Christian
peoplo and oven some ministers of the
gospel nro skeptical about praying for
rain. They toll us they do not believe
In calling on God In straits or closo
places; that It Is unbecoming. But tho
poor sinners of earth aro so often In
straits and need to pray for help. Very
few hnve their praying all up-to-date,
much lees ahead. Tho dying thief was In a
close place when fio prayed nnd his prayer
wns nnswered. Saul of Tarsus was In a
wretched strait when he prayed for salva
tion nnd bis prayer was answered. Tho
set Jewels and the figures of mythological
subjects are Interspersed along the mount
ings, alternating with gems ac pearls,
t'lirlnsltlr from li-nuii.
In this display will be several specimens
of Vienna ware, one piece showing the head
of Maria Theresa, surrounded by the heads
of kings, princes and generals of Austria.
This Is a piece of old Vienna. In modern
Vienna waro will bo shown the heads of
tho Llnlngcr family made while Mr. I.I
nlnger and his party were In Vienna. Tlu
work Is remarkably clear, the likenesses
good and the decorations said to be the
best of the work of contemporary deco
rators of this ware.
One of the chief of the new articles
secured by Mr. Llnlngcr on this trip to
Europe Is a specimen of Limoges' work,
enamel upon copper. This specimen shows
a treatment of the "Via Cruces." with
figures of Francis I of France and a princess
of the house kneeling in adoration. This is
believed to have been the work of contem
poraries of the king represented nnd Is an
exceedingly rare specimen,
When the gallery Is completely arrange-1
Mr. Llnlngcr will begin to arrange the
specimens In the public library. Among
theso are somo of the rarest specimens
of the printer's nrt, Including a fragment
of ono of the first bibles printed by Guten
berg, pnpyrus from Egypt, parchments from
different parts of the Orient, Including
Hebrew manuscript discovered recently nt
Jerusalem.

Brief Extracts from
Sunday Sermons.
sarao Is true of the Phllllpplan Jailer, tho
converto of "Pentccret and of all sinners
who come to God for deliverance. God
docs not refuse us lecause we have waited
till In a closo plate; He Is glad to havs
us come to Him it any time. It would
hnvo been bettor ,'for tho Prodigal Son
had ho como hono sooner yea, had ho
never left his flther's bouse but his
father received hin with open arms nil
tho same. So our saving Heavenly Father
Is over ready to recolvo us. The people
nnd land wero r great straits when
Elijah prayed for rain, but Ood heard tho
prnycr nnd sent rain. Mosra was In a
great strait who; thero wero mountains
on either side of Israel, tho Red, sea In
front and Pharaoj and his hosts In tho
rear, hut ho crlei'to Ood for deliverance
nnd It came. Soup object to praying for
rain for the reasca that It seems to mako
God simply a con-jnlence. Ah! let us not
bo nfrald of uslnf) God when needed, nnd
that Is always. Tils Is a trick of tho devil.
God Is Just waltlig to do somo nice thing
for us all. He javo Ills Son to dlo for
us for our eonvcllenco from sin. Somo
tell us we had Utter be digging Irriga
tion ditches than, praying for rnln. It
occurs to me that ly the tlmo all the hills
and valleys of ttsj great western plains
aro Irrigated someone will need to pray
for rain. Wo are told by somo good peo
ple that If wo llu'd right God would see
that we had pleny of rnln. Ah! if wo
only did! Hut wh does or over did live
as they ought? Had Adam not sinned
things would have been all right, but ho
sinned. We must .eal with things ns they
are. Pray for tcnporal blessings nnd for
rain? Yes, ecrtaf.ly. Look at tho lllus
trlous examples ofthe bible. Hczeklah's
llfo was spared nrl his years lengthened
In answer to prnyej In answer to prayer
Elijah had both a trout h and rain to come
upon the earth. Ibid tho following scrip
ture: I Samuel, t:10; I Kings, 28:42;
II Chronicles, 0t26 II Chronicles, 7:13;
Zncharlah, 101, nn James, 5:17. If wo
bcllevo the bible must bcllovo God
encourages His peode to pray for tern
poral blessings nmjfor rain. Ood rules
tho universe. Ho h not so made it as to
preclude the posstuilty of His Interfer
ence. Prayer nnd 'miracles woro taken
Into tho account hen the worlds were

In walking gravlta

Lvery step wo tak'

ST. PETERSBURG, July 22. (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press.) Men
tion has already been made of tho advice
of tho Novoyo Vrcmyn recently t6 Japan
to forget Corca and solace herself with
Chlneso territory opposite Formosa and
various Islands of tho Pacific, Including tho
Philippines and. the Hawaiian Islands.
Russia would help Japan secure, these pos
sessions with diplomatic advice and other
support. The Uourso Gazette, which claims
to represent tho commercial interests of
Russia, subscribes to all of this. This-Journal
observes:
"As a matter of fact, Russia asks nothing
from Japan except renunciation of her de
clgns upon Corea. After Russia has em
ployed colossal means In her civilizing mis
sion In cast Asia, she ts In duty bound to
guard tho Independence of tho peninsula
which, lies l the path between Port Arthur
and Vladivostok. Hut In addition to Corea
thero are largo territories In southern Chlnn
and, numerous Island groups south of For
mosa and In Russia. Nobody has over denied
tho Justification of Japan's ambition for a
territorial expansion."
St. Petersburg has been planning to cclo
brate tho 200th anniversary of Its founda
tion by nn exposition In 1803. Minister
Do Wltto has, however, decided that tho
tlmo is too short for such a great under
taking aud It will bo deferred until 1913,
which will bo 200 years uftcr tbo capital
