Sam L. Barclay come to Omaha yesterday
and exposed nn Incident that I'ollco Sur
geon Frauds L. Rorgtum has been keeping
quiet about for thrca weeks, but which ho
now acknowledges really happened, liar
clay said:
"Three weeks ago I was on a Union Pa
cific train going west, when two men be
came Involved In a quarrel lu the vesti
bule of the chair car, and ono of them
shot the other through the leg. It later
developed that tbe men had robbed Rome
body nt Granger, Wyo., and had had differ
ences over tho division of tho $100 swag.
When tho mnn was shot there was a call
for a doctor, and a young fellow with
glasses volunteered his services. At first 1
thought ho was now at tho business, but
I never bbw a better nervo In my llfo nor
a better 'Jollier.' Ho made that 'tough'
laugh In sptto of tho pain that attended the
drcsslug of tho wound. Moreover, ho got
tho whole story of tho fracas and It was
through tho doctor that tho trainmen be
como acquainted with the facts In tho
case and learned that the Injured man was
'Ono Lung Sam,' who seemed to havo con
siderable notoriety out In that country.
"When the doctor's work wus finished
ho rodo In tho baggago car with his pa
tient until Evanston was reached, and both
tho robbers wore delivered to the authori
ties, who had been telegraphed to mako
arrangements. Then tho young doctor was
given a good word nil around, but ho de
clined to glva bis name to me, and all I
had to go by were tho Initials on his trav
eling bng nnd tho statement of the con
ductor that ho got on at Omaha. When
I got hero this morning I inado Inquiry
until I discovered who ho was, and also
that 'ho has been too modest to say any
thing about tho hit ho mado with all of us
by his cool work on that train when every
body clso was up In tho air over the fact
that tho men were notorious toughs. I
Just mado up ray mind that If ho didn't
tell it I would."
Amusements
CrelKli toii-Orplirmii.
This week's program of vaudovlllo offer
ings at the Orpheum hath charms for lovers
of music and light comedy. Somo of .tho
acts nro exclusively musical, othors ex
clusively comedy, and some comblno both
music and comedy. Not on tho entire bll
Is there a specialty that doas not include
one or the other or both, and arranged as
It Is, It Is tho means of furnishing n most
satisfactory evening's entertainment. Thero
Is classical music, both vocal and Instru
mental, popular dlttlcs, coon songs, paro
dies nnd ballads; thero Is high-class and
lup-stlck comedy and altogether tho tastes
of tho most exacting In either line can
hardly fall of gratification. It would be
rather hard to pick a favorite, us tbe
honors nro pretty ovenly divided amoag
the Boven numbers of tho bill. Mr. and
Mrs. Porklns Fisher, remembered for tholr
clever work hero two seasons ago, offer a
quaint and decidedly .clever rural sketch,
"Tho Half-Way House," which is produc
tive of much laughter. Thero ,1s also a
touch of pathos In tho sketch, that reachos
tho heartstrings effectively. It Is given
capable presentation by Mr. and Mrs.
Fisher. Warren and Blancbard, anotbor
pair of local favorites, do a turn full of
hilarity nnd good music. Tho Flirtation
quintet, composed of four petite and pretty
girls, decidedly attractive to tho eye, and
a young man, who will glvo tho ladles'
hearts a scare. Thoy do a dainty little
stunt not unltko that of tho sextet In
"Florodora," and desplto tho fact that a
somewhat refractory calcium light de
tracted rather than added beauty to the
act, tho audience found enough In It to
mako tho quintet respond to repeated en
cores. Mrj Brown, tho raalo member of
the quintet, has a splendid tenor voice,
which ho uses to good, advantage. Tho girls
aro graceful dancers and sing well. Iteata
Wlnfleld does an original thing In playing
the "Pretty Maiden" sextet from "Floro
dora" on a violin and talking tho words,
addressing them to somo special person In
tho audience. Besides this, sho renders a
number of populnr selections upon tho
violin with tolling effect. The balance of
tho bill Includes Mrs. Felix Morris and
company In "Tho Lady and the Burglar,"
an act full of good comedy situations and
ono well Interpreted; Rome and Ferguson
In "Mr. Flatz, tho Floor Walker;" Adellna
Roattlno, a pleasing vocalist, and tbe klne
drome. The lloyd.
Tho Ferris comedians were the Sunday
attraction at tho Boyd. In the afternoon
they appeared In Lewis Morrison's stirring
melodrama, "The Indian," and at the night
pcrformnnco offered another thriller called
"In Peril," both attraotlng largo audiences.
The company, which has been seen hero
beforo during tho present season, In ono of
tho most praiseworthy popular-priced or
ganizations upon tho rond and their offer
ings always ploaso the people who find en
joyment In this class of entertainment. The
engagement was for but a single day.
Mlacn'a Troonilrro,
May Howard and her big company of girls
opened' to capacity business at tho Troca
dcro yesterday. They give a show that Is
full of fun, good music, clever dances and
entrancing pictures. It Is probably the
best dressed company 'that has appeared at
this houso this season, tho costumes being
rich 1 material and original In design.
Miss Howard acts and sings an cleverly as
he did somo years ago, when the present
generation, In callow youth, were wont to
pay her homage Frankle Emmett, a young
woman with a remarkably sweet voice:
Irene Watson, an acrobatic dancer, and
Mao Hello, with smart songs, were con
spicuous on the program. Tho engagement
Is for five days only.
Announcements of the Theater.
Every scholar who Is familiar with
Shakespeare's immortal comedy, "Tho Tam
ing of tho Shrew," will bo dollghted with
the announcement that a grand Bcenlc re
vival of tho play will bo given at the Boyd
Tuesday, Wcdneaday matinee and night, by
Cbirlcs B. Hanford and a strong supporting
company headed by bcflutlful Helen Grantly,
tho Omaha young woman. This play, how
ever, does not appeal simply to scholars or
persons of a studious frame of mind. It Is
eo repleto with mirthful Incidents and
amusing situations that all classes of the-nter-goers
aro satisfied by Us presentation.
Wherever tho pioco has been produced this
season tho reports say that it has been
played to Immenso audiences, who havo sig

of laughter and hearty applause. Mr. Han

FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT
1st. Itrriig Would Hart Ttltgraphi aid
limp fiacki Iioltdil.
THRIFT lEt'ENBS ON BANK FACILITIES
Preacher A run en that Government
Omiemhln of TelcKranlt System
Would DrlnK the People
Nearer ToKetlier.
At tho First Congregational church Sun
day night Itcv. Hubert C. Herring urged tho
institution by the government of postal
telegraphy and postal savings banks.
"Wo llvo In an age of expansion, " said
th' pastor, "and It Is hard to see any reason
why thn tendency should not show Itself
In the functions of government. In tho
minds of many peoplo there aro ample
reasons why It should show Itself In our
postal system. From tlmo immemorial
every clvllzcd government has considered
It Its duty to assume chargo of the com
munication of Its citizens by means of let
ters. Thero Is no theoretical or practical
reason for declining to assume tho same
function In regard to telegrams.
"In like way for many years tho gov
ernment has undertaken to recelvo tho citi
zens' money to bo paid to someone else nt
another point. What objection Is there to
receiving It payable to tho samo person at
a later time?
"Theso two proposals, postal telegraphy
and postal saving banks, rest In part upon
dlfforcnt economic grounds, and must there
fore bo discussed separately. As to postal
savings banks, it Is sufficient to say that
tho governmont has no more important
task than that of cultivating thrift nmong
Its people. Tho growth of thrift depends
In gbod part on adequate provision for stor
ing up surplus of earnings. This has never
been secured In this country. Savings
banks have been confined as a rule to tho
larger towns nnd cities, nnd have never
touched tho mass of tho population. In
addition to this, they havo been so no
toriously unrcliablo that thero Is wide
spread distrust of them. The crying need
for such facilities, as well as the abun
dantly successful cxpcrlcnco of other coun
tries, suggests that our nation loso no
tlmo In taking up this matter.
AKiilnxt Private Ownership.
"As to telegraphs, tho situation Is, If
possible, more urgent. The indictment
against existing telegraph systems com
prises such counts ns theso:
"First Tho cost of the service rendered
Is excessive, averaging 38 cents per message
of ten words.
Second The use of tho telegraph actu
ally secured Is meager as compared with
other lands, tho United States averaging
only ono racssago per year per person,
while In far-away Australia tho avcrago Is
two.
"Third Tho quality of tho service is un
satisfactory, being neither swift, sure nor
accurate.
"Fourth Existing telegraph systems do
not deal generously with the employes,
either In wages or conditions of service.
"Theso charges, If supported by the facts,
constitute a prima facie case for govern
ment telegraphy. Tho experlenco of other
countries completes tho chain of argument.
On tho continent of Europe, ever since the
telegraph was Invented, nnd In England for
tho last thirty years, the telegraph system
has been In tho hnnds of.'the postal depart
ment. Tho result has been a great decreaso
In charges nnd a corresponding Increase in
the .amount 'of business done.
"When wo consider how Important a civ
ilizing and educating force Is found In free
communication between man and man It Is
not a light matter that the telegraph Is In
thin country so far out of tho reuch of tho
poor. Lot tho United States, with Its 10,000
postofflces, Introduce the telegraph as far
and as fast as possible, and tho community
will not only bo relloved of a great In
justice, but will mako far wider use of an
Important adjunct of civilization."
IU5VIVI3 TEACHINGS OF I'ETEIl.
Ilev. Mnrtln Points Out Aim of Chris
tian Church.
"Important Facts About the First
Christian Church" was tho topic on which
Rev. Sumner T. Martin preached at tho
First Christian church Sunday morning.
This refers, however, not to tho First
Christian church of today, but to tbe first
Christian church ever established in the
world, the ono Inaugurated In Jerusalem
Just after the crucifixion of Christ.
"That was tho church of tho apostles,"
snld tho preacher. "The movement In
tho Christian church today Is one Intended
to restore It to what It was In tbe begin
ning, not to found a new ono. Thomas
Campbell did not begin the Christian
church In his magnificent work at the first
of the last century. He was only a
preachor of this reformation, which has In
view the attainment of tho samo order,
faith and doctrine which that apostolic
church had.
"There aro many Interesting facts con
cerning that first church. Peter's preach
ing was biblical and It produced a doop
conviction of sin among his hearers. Theso
convicted ones wcro slncero In tholr in-;
qulry concerning tho church and its teach
ings, and their desire to obey was honest.
Tho instruction given them was honest
and yet rontalned all the essentials of sal
vation. They already believed in Christ
as the Son of God, and so what they were
told to do wns to repent and bo baptized
for tho remission of sins. Obedience to
this order wis prompt, chocrful and per
fect, the sinners doing exactly as they
wero told.
"Tho new life which resulted from this
biblical preaching, deep conviction, earnest
Inquiry nnd hearty obedlonce was char
acterized by a spirit of love, of self-sacrifice
und dovotion to tho Interests of
othors, of Joy and fellowship and of wor
ship. "Concluding, tho word of God nlono can
save, as It could then, nnd tho teachings
of Peter should be preached today. At
that tlmo more obcdlenco to the gospel
mado tho people members of tho church.
There was no further ceremony. On the
day of Pentecost the 3,000 converts who
Joined had heard only one sermon, but
nevertheless they took up tho yoke of
Christ and trusted to learn of Him later.
Then all converts Joined; now it Is differ
ent. Tho evangelist today who sticks
close to the apostolic pattern is the most
successful. A faithful copy today of tho
preaching, obedience, church order and
spirit of that first church would unite
all Christians and soon evangelize the
world."
1IAVI5 FAITH IN GOIl'S GUIDANCE.
Mnn Cnnnot Hope tn Understand Mys
teries of ProTldenee,
"I (will guldo thee with Mine eye and
afterward receive thee In glory" was tho
text of Dr. A. C. Hlrnt nt the First Metho
dist church yesterday morning. Dr. Hirst
spoke of the terrible mysteries of life, the
unexplalnablo things which the human mind
lonpn to penetrate, and said that man can
never hope to understand the purposes of
Provldcnco and must content himself with
belief in the supreme being, Who offers
life eternal,
"We are like the children of Israel. We
want to know why tbe lea parted. We lay
that our superior Intellect demands an ex
planation of nit mysteries," said the
speaker. "Young children do not have nn
understanding of the sciences nnd aro not
capablo of realizing the changes which aro
brought about dally In tho phyBlenl world.
Our minds aro only child minds when com
pared to tho mind of our Creator. Wo can
not understand the purposes of Him. who
requires Infinity and eternity to work out
His ends.
"When wo aro enveloped in n cloud of
grief and sorrow wo dcslro to ponctrate tho
cloud and discover tho causo of our afflic
tion. Wo are continually asking why God
docs not wlpo out sin, the causo of manv
of our troubles. Wo nsk why Ho permitted
children to be slaughtered In Turkey.
"All theso questions are useless. Wo
must bo willing to havo Him lead us
through tho sea, with tho bollcf that it Is
for the best. Ood holds tho secret of all
things unknown and It In best that Ho
should. Man could not comprehend His
lnfinlto purposes and muBt rely ou Gcdn
promlso that Ho will guldo His followers
nnd receive them in glory."

Ilev. Knntier Tells of Conditions In
Ilnlnnujn, Africa,
At tho First Presbyterian church Sunday
morulng Ilev. F. G. Knaucr, a missionary
from Ilatangn, on tho western coact of
Africa, gnvo a talk on tho subject of his
work among tho natives of that section.
It wns illustrated by many articles of
wearing apparel and domestic use among
tho negroes and by a largo map, which
served to show tho location of tho vnrlous
mission churches. Ho laid special em
phasis upon the polygamous condition of
tho peoplo, upon tho trnffic In wives nnd
tho consequent low order of morality.
"An nll-wlso God," Bald he, "has created
tho sexes nbout equal In numerical
strength, so that each man may havo n
wlfo and each woman n husband, but thero
In Africa ono man may havo ns many wives
08 ho can nfford to buy, so thero aro not
enough women to go 'round and many
worthy young men havo to go without
wives, A man's wealth Is measured by
the number of wives ho hns. A wlfo Is
always a safo chattel from a commercial
standpoint, because while ho has her sho
works and helps to support him and when
ho Is tired of her ho can dispose of her nt
tho current market price, which Is usually
about 1100 worth of goods.
"It Ib not uncommon for a man to dls-
poso of his llttlo daughter ns soon as tho
child Is weaned, and tho purchaser, who.
pcrhnps, l.s a very old man, tnkes her to his
hovel at onco and his other wives take
euro of her.
"But this Is tho dark side of tho mis
sionary's life, and to offset It thero Is much
to encourage. Tho natives know thero is
a lifo beyond the grave. They know good
and evil, though their lino of domarkatlon
Is strango to us. They say thero Is a
town of God nnd town of the dovll. Thoy
are slow to nccept tho principles of Chris
tianity wo teach, for their conception of
theology Is very primitive, but In tho
hearts of many of them tho Holy Spirit hns
been at work and thero havo been somo
very marvelous conversions."
MAN'S
FAITH
HIS
SALVATION.
Ilellef In Cod Is the IloRlnnliin of
Immortnllty,
"Tho basis of tho capacity for salvation
Is faith' said Rev. Luther M. Kuhns In his
Sunday sermon nt. Groco Lutheran church.
As a subject for' his dlscourso Itcv. Kuhns
had announced ".Jdan's Capacity for Salva
tion," and ho said, In part:
"You readily believe In tho personality
of Washington, of Lincoln, of Orant, and
It Is no harder for mo to bcllevo tn tho
personality of Jesus Christ, than In tho
personality of any of these."
Concerning the importance of salvation,
Rev. Kuhns, said: "Thero Is no more Im
portant truth revealed by Christ than tho
need of a new birth. You and I aro as
the worn coin. Money, you know, comes
from tho stamp of tho government mint,
whtto and beautiful, but loses Its lustra
and perfection after too long contact with
corrupting matter. Man wns created as
beautiful as could bo conceived. He camo
from the hand of the Dlvlno Maker Just
as clear and beautiful as tho new coin, and
bearing tho stamp of heaven. Christ comes
to call back the Imago of heaven, that
earthly wear has obscured. The belief
In his doctrine Is tho beginning of Immor
tality. Whon salvation comes to a man
tho spark of dlvlno goodness bursts Into
a flame that consumes the baser elements
nnd makes tho strife and turmoil only
means to a glorious end. Self-control
springs up, born of tho spirit of Christ
and there at onco begins tho llfo ever
lasting. Eradicate we roust all hope of any
other way or means of salvation than by
conforming our will to Christ's."

At tho meeting of the council tomorrow
night It Is thought that somo communica
tion will be made to that body regarding
tho plans of tho Union Stock Yards com
pany for tho building of tho proposed via
duct leading to tho excimngo building In
the yards.
Thus far nothing has been dono by tho
Stock Ynids company other than to com
municate with the Commercial club In re
gnrd to getting tho views of tho business
men of tho city on tho advisability of va
cating tho strtvts wanted by tho stock
yards In return for tho building of tho via
duct. Thus far the councllmcn have kept al
most strangely quiet regarding tho matter
nnd bavn ventured no opinion. It Is thought
that the council will readily ndopt the plan
suggested by the Stock Ynrds company In
order to get the viaduct built. Many times
ttio matter nas iiecn netore tno council nun
on several occasions tho right of the city
council to order the viaduct built has been
discussed. At the tlmo tho () street viaduct
was completed It was thought that there
would bo llttlo or no troublo in getting an
other viaduct lending to the yards. How
ever, tho city's liability being established
on Its Improvement bonds soon threw It
Into a debt not btfora contemplated and tho
project wnH necessarily abandoned.
According to tho charter of the city, In
order to havo tho street vacated tho coun
cil shall fit-fit pass an ordinance stating
that such vacation Is necessary, nftcr which
tho mayor must appoint tho nczessnry ap
praisers to assess tho property so vacated.
Tho charter, however, does not stnto any
thing regarding tho paying of damages to
adjoining property owners, nor does It seem
to havo any effect In such n matter.
It Is thought that some of the property
owners along this portion of tho town may
enjoin the city from vacating this street,
for tho ren60n that It rcnlers nbuttlng prop
erty practically valueless. Theso matters
probably will be fully dtscus?ed at tbe
meeting of tho council tonight. August
Miller is tald to advocate tho return of
moro benefits to the town In return for the
vacating of tho streets than tho Stock
Yards company Is now promising, but
whether this will bo tho view of tho coun
cil can not bo foretold.
Hoard Meets Tonight.
It Is thought thnt tho Board of Education
will havo a quorum tonight and thnt tho
delayed session finally will bo held. Thero
aro many old matters up to It for final
determination. Tho most Important and
most talked about of all theso Is tho com
pulsory vaccination proposition. Tho Board
of Health Is anxiously awaiting tho action
of tho Board of Education ou this matter
and evincing considerable anxiety as to
Just how tha Instructors will trout Its
mandate. It says, howover, that It has
llttlo doubt that tho board will Instruct
tbe principals and Its superintendent to seo
to It thnt all pupils aro properly vaccinated
before being allowed In tho ucbool.
Council Illlledtu Meet.
After two weeks' silence the council
probably will hold a meeting again to
night. There nro sevoral ordinances In
prospect which will occnslon moro or less
comment. First of theso Is tho proposed
billposter ordinance, which Is an attemDt
to repeal tho ordinance passed some weeks
ago creating this office. Then thero aro
ordinances tn prospect for the creation of
tho office of street sweeper, tho library
board ordinance and numerous others. Alt
of them attract somo attention and tho
usual largo audience Is expected to bo
present.
More Carriers Needed.
There Is an Increasing demand being mado
upon Postmaster Etter for nn Increase In
the carrier service of South Omaha. A
short tlmo ago now servlco wa3 allowed tho
town, but this has sinco been found to bo
Inadequate to meet tho needs of tho cltv
and Mr. Etter will now make a new re
qulsltlon upon tho postofllco authorities for
more help. The servlco In South Omaha
has been recognized fo- tbe last year to
bo wholly Inadequate for a placo that re
eclves as much mall as South Omaha. Car
rlers cover too largo a territory. In nddl
tlon to tho demand of tho postmaster, a
petition will bo circulated throughout the
town asking that tho department glvo moro
men for this place.
Pavement Holding Out Well.
Since tho last repair work on Twenty
fourth street almost entire satisfaction has
been expressed with tho manner In which
tho pavement Is holding out. Tho deep cut
ruts which hnvo appeared heretofore no
longer present themselves and It may bo
that no work of any magnitude will havo
to bo dono In tho repair of this street in
tho spring. No repair work of any kind
will havo to bo dono on N street, although
Twonty-flfth street paving Is a llttlo tho
worse for wear In places.

WHY IS IT
that tho drug business In the eyes of the
public Is looked upon hh a "holdup busl
ni.ua" when In fact stanlo Goods nrn Hold
at less profit than In liny other rotull IiubI
