Rev. J. K. Ilummnn, pastor of Knuntt
Memorial rhureh, In the course of hi
morning- sermon yesterday, when the ron
gregntlnn mM for the first time In Metro
politan hall, brought out a fart not at
all genernllyknown In ronnertlon with the
Ol1 building which Is being demolished at
Sixteenth and Harney streets. It was that
the old edifice had never been dedicated
though used continuously slnre Its erec
tion nearly a quarter of a century ago as
a house of Ood.
This congregation will worship In Metro
politan hall until the new church la com
pleted and dedicated.
The Sunday-cm)ol ' begun Its sessions
before tha morning service Instead of aft

was out In full force and Incidentally wel
comed back Its former leader. Mrs. Relgel,
who has hron abs-nt all winter. Trof. K.
B. Cook's adult Hlble class occupied one
of the large room.
Before the regular lesson hour the
preacher, Rev. J. K. Hummon. spoke en
couragingly and gratefully that so many
had proven faithful In the migration of the
church and augured further future pros
perity. He then preached from Colopslana,
II :J, "Ta Are Complete In Him," and, di
recting his remarks mainly to the new
memhera, showed how they can be com
plete In Christ. That growth In Christian
Ufa la esaenti.il: that all means must be
employed to promote that growth. There
must be a consecration, of body, of time,
of means to the Master's use a striving
to be useful In His cause.
After the meeting closed It was nulte a
while before the congregation dispersed.
things In our lives we keep them as
dreams of Impossibility. When they be
come facts we begin to throw on them the
shadow of a doubt. When the Ideal Is
realised men are apt to asy It Is too much.
It cannot be. Men did think of gods com
ing down on earth; Abraham saw Christ
and rejoiced, but Christ came and they
crucified Him; they could not possibly be
lieve Ood could be upon earth. When
Christ taught In the temple they said It Is
the son of David and Mary whom we all
know.
"The highest and best expression of Ood
In human life Is a man's life. The Idea la
all through the Hlble that Borne time God
would show Himself and come to us Ood
with us, Immanuel. Isn't It the best con
ception that God should be revealed to ua
In man? What we are yearning and look
ing for Is Ood to come to a perfect realisa
tion of Himself In man. Christ should find
expression In ou all and burn In your
mind and body. Christ here In you living
dally a Chrlst-IIke life will be the develop
ment we are searching for of Immanuel,
Ood with us."
ASK FOR MISSION WORK
Laymen at Calvary Baptist Present
Foreign Missionary f'aose.
Rev. Thomas Anderson, nt Calvary Bap
tist church, resigned his pulpit yesterday to
Isaac W. Carpenter nnd P. W. Foster,
members of the church, who spent the time
usually allotted to the sermon in the de
livery of nn appeal for contributions to the
fund for the support of foreign missions.
In calling attention to the addresses to be
delivered Rev. Mr. Anderson said:
"Jesus meant that we should not confine
ourselves to our own particular locality,
but go out Into the whole world and spread
His teachings. April and May are the two
montha In each year set aside by the
church to take up the subject of foreign
missionary work, and today la the day
which has been decided upon to make an
appeal to the congregation for assistance.
"Our church voted to do more In the for
eign mission work this year than last
said Mr. Carpenter. 'It has been the de
sire of our members to support some one
missionary, but owing to the fact that It
haa thus far been Impossible for us to
find the man we have not made up our
mind definitely to do so. Our real obliga
tion to the missionary union begins with
this subscription. Arrangements have been
made so that our contribution can be used
In the support of a mission in the wester-
most part of western China. It la the de
sire to raise (GOO to be expended In the
year's work. 1 believe all of ua will be
amply repaid for Anything we give in the
satisfaction It will be to hear from this re
mote portion of the world and to learn of
the good whloh Is being done there through
the efforts, tif this church. We have no
new building to put up this year, and now
let us take up the work of carrying the
gospel to heathen lands.
Mr. Carpenter announced that nl
ready had been raised by three subscrip
tions, so that but $S5i( remained to be sub
scribed.
Mr. Foster told of the work which Is at
present being done In the foreign field by
the church. He said 100 forts arev being
neiu. py aa many captains and that en
listed under these are 4.800 lieutenants, na
tive! gathered together by these captains.
He expressed the opinion that arrange
ments should be made to send fit least that
many more Into the foreign field, consisting
of Asia, Africa and the Islands of the Pa'
clflo. I
GOD DKMtMinn HEStXTS OF M.4
Rer, Campbell Morgan Preaches at
First Methodist Chorcli.
Rev. Campbell Morgan at the First Meth
odist Episcopal church chose for his text
Luke- xllf.fS-9. the parable of the fig tree.
The church was packed to the doors and
during the tlmo that the minister was
speaking a pin could have been heard to
drop- In any portion of the large audi
torium. Re. Mr. Morgan Is a convin
cing speaker, who has a clear and distinct
enunciation which it Is a pleasure to lls-
en to.
"The parables of Jesus," said the speaker,
Invariably had a local application. Them
was very little doubt when Jesus spoke
this parable. He had In mind the Hebrew
nation, to which He had come as Messiah.
le was most certainly describing His own
mission. Hut with this I have nothing to
do this evening. My business Is to show
he application of the parable In Its re-
atlon between Ood and man.
"We are perpetually In danger through
measuring ourselves by false standnrdtf.
Men compare themselves with themselves
to their own satisfaction. Men boast of
their morality, but you will often find
that the moralfty of which men boast Is
not morality at all. You will often dis
cover that men's morality begins where the
policeman's beat begins.
A man asked me the question. 'Ts it
necessary for me to surrender to God? Is
It not enough If I obey the ten command
ments?' I replied that It Is enough to obey
the commandments, but In order to do
this you must first surrender yourself to
Ood. The question Is not are we leveling
up to the ordinary man? But the real
question Is. Is Ood satisfied with us? It
Is not what do you think of Ood. but
what does God think of you? That Is the
thing which It is difficult to get some men
to understand. If I satisfy only myself
I am a dismal failure. If I measure up to
the divine standard I am a shining suc
cess.
"There Is no better way In this argil
ment thf.n to follow the parable, What docs
Ood expert of us? There ts but one
answer, 'Fruit.' If the tree does not pro
duce fruit cut It down. And In this sense
what Is the meaning of fruit? For every
man, manhood; for every woman, woman
hood; for every child, childhood. God does
not want you to be an angel. He wants
you to be a man. He Is seeking for the
realization of life as He meant It should
be. There Is but one measurement of true
manhood, and that wae furnished by
Christ, and what He was I may be. Ood
created you to serve nnd not to master
men. After we have looked these facts
squarely in the face can we say, Ood has
no right to cut down His fig tree?"

In the First Presbyterian church Rev,
Dr. Edwin Hart Jenks preached on "Uoi

"Men always have been trying to express
their conception of the incarnation." said
Dr. Jenks. "As long ago as there U any
recora men nave oeen trying to express
God with us, God In the flesh. When the
Greeks found a God-like quality In any
man, something which wee too tine for any
ordinary man to possess, they wanted to
express this, so they made the stories of
mythology. The Hebrew Idea was Iras
gross and leaa poetical than the Greek.
"We find Incarnations so many In heathen

Incarnation of Christ. But, no. It only
hows that men have had this hope heaven

JAQUITH ON GRAIN RATE WAR
Says Railroads Are Trying; to Effect
Settlement and Leave) Nebraska
High and Dry.
On the matter of grain rates, the war
that hna ensued between the railroads and
the reported settlement of the conflict. A.
B. Juqulth, president of the Exchange
Grain company, says in a communication
to The Bee:
ine railroads are endeavoring to patch
up their differences. In which case Ne
braska will be left high and dry with old
vuuuiuuiipi prevailing as lo railroad rates,
which are certninlv not limt o ra
It looks as if the Northwestern railroad
has succeeded in throttling competition and
by the following method they secure suf
ficient money from the haul of grain from
their points in Nebraska to Omaha to
r.nuie mem 10 naul it Tree Trom Omaha to
the Mississippi river, a distance of 400 miles.
Concerning the old charge of 6 cents per
hundred from the Mississippi river to Chi
cago, which the proposed agreement be
tween railroads now contemplates making
It 3, will state that I have never been able
to understand whv the rate from iim hu
or other Nebraska, points should be 6 cents
higher to Chicago than to 8t. Louis, for
the reaaon that the distance is as great
and greater over some lines from Omaha.
ine Kaieway lor mebrnskn s shipments to
St. Louis, than to Chicago. If the rate
is 15 cents tier hundred on grain through
Omaha, originating west thereof to St.
Irf.uis, vlu. any line, I cannot see whv, only
by reason of an arbitrary rule und of years
of over-churge, railroads should make u
rate of 5 cents higher, or 20 cents per lte, to
Chicago, and I real!;' believe that this Is
Indefeimible and the only reason that I
nave ever heard riven is that this differ
ential has existed for the past twenty
years.
President 8tickney of the Great Westera
was evidently, und ua he stated at a public
meeting, is working for a selfish motive,
that Is to get business. He or his rail
roud. the Great Western, as I understand
It. did not cut the existing rate from the
Missouri river to Chicago, but the Chicago
& Northwestern railroad, fearing the coni-
Ktitlon of a new line and fearing It would
asked to let loose of some of the grain
along the lines of the Elkhorn or some of
Its other Nebraska feeders, began cutting
rates until It got the charge so low that
It Is hauling grain today, in order to freeze
Mr. gllckney and other lines terminating
at the Missouri river out of the field for
no ciinrga wnaiever rrom Omaha to the
Mississippi river and onlv 3 cents per hun
dred from Omaha to Chicago.
I desire to say that the Chicago & North
western railroad In all of its uctlous and
tn all of the rate sheets made and In Its
treatment to the general public Is now and
has been demanding that every bushel of
grain grown tributary to any of Its feeders
In the state of Nebraska must be marketed
at a market center that suits the North
western road, its Interests belns- tn haul
it from the point where It Is delivered from
tne wagon or ine rurmer to i"hicago, thus
giving it the most money and all of the
haul.
To make a long Interview short. T will
say that the Northwestern road has put
its stamp and seal upon all of the ter
ritory north of the Platte river In Ne-
Druska and some of It south, tributary to
Its lines and said to the farmer of Ne
braska, to the local grain dealer, to the
buyer at Omaha or the exporter that we
own this araln. and vou cannot buv It or
ship It to any market Irrespective of values
at our southern seaboard (or for the
southern trade although by so doing it
wouia Dnng tne prooucer more money.
If I owned the Northwestern railroad.
possibly and in all probability. I would take
ine same position trial it does, but being
a resident of this state and a oitisen of
Omaha and desiring prosperity to all, the
farmer, the merchant as well as to the
railroads, I certainly think that a man is
not loyal to his state, his city or his town
who will not retaliate against such treat
ment and who will not make every effort
to see and to show this railroad comoanv
or any other, that we have rights that
must and will he pnatected, and one of the
first and easiest ways to reach such a
corporation Is through its treasury and I
hope the people of Omaha who make ship.
nrniti Into or out of this city will care
fully study the situation and hand their
business to lines who will be fair, Just
and equitable.
1 consider that this rate situation la up
to the people of the state, or soon will be,
and nut altogether with the railway people,
ss all articles and reports ut present in
dicate, and Judging from the action of the
Northwestern md in hauling grain across
thr state of Iowa free and looking at the
rate charge1 the Nehriski fanner or
denier. I think that all who ant posted
will admit that the charge made within
the state of Nebraska Is enouvh to enable
them to haul it still farther east free and
then make money.
Casper now is, then on past Independence
Rock, Three Crossings of Sweetwater,
Pevll's Gate, South Pass and Bait Lake,
then on to Carson and across the summit
of the Sierra Nevadas down into Placer
vllle. The lower, or Butterfleld's route, ran
from Independence, Mo., by way of the
Smoky Hill to Pike's Peak, while one
branch of It ran off southwest from Las
Animas to Santa Fe.
The Holliday route was Just 1,913 miles
In length. There were 153 stations on the
line, being' ten to fourteen miles apart.
The fare from St. Joseph to Placervllle
was I2IS. Each passenger was allowed
twenty-five pounds of baggage, but all
over that he had to pay $1 a pound for
for the trip. It was a seventeen days' trip
from St. Joseph to Placervllle. Though I
recollect when the trip was once made In
twelve days and little less than a half.
The stages were of the old Concord style
and carried fifteen passengers each.
Most of the parsengers were men folks
and some funny things used to happen on
the trips. One time a gang of eight pretty
stiff fellows took passage from Atchison
and for the first two or three days the
only way they had to amuse themselves
was by singing and telling stories. Finally
they all chipped In nnd bought a Jug of
whisky at a ranch station. Then they got
to playing poker and-all of them got pretty
drunk. A quarrel of course broke out and
one fellow accused another of robbing him
and a fight was proposed to settle the mat
ter. The stage was stopped and a ring
was formed. The two drunken fellows
bumped into one another and both fell
over and decided to lay there nnd sleep It
off. They were finally hustled back into
the stage and the quarrel broke out and
all of them got mixed up In It and they
had a roaring good fight. Finally they
quieted down Into a drunken sleep, and the
drLver managed to get hold of the rest of
the whisky and threw It out on the road.
The drivers got from $ to $75 a month
and board. On the Holliday lines there
were about 3,000 horses and mulea and 103
coaches. The total cost a year for operat-
Ing the line was about 12,500,009 and old
Ben made lots of money at it. The sched
ule time of the stage was four and a half
mllea an hour, day and night. Including
stops. Some times on a good road the driv
ers would make fifteen mllea an hour. The
Indians used to bother the stages some,
but the buffalo were the greatest bother.
Road agents (robbers) were pretty bad at
tlmea near the mountains, but as we al
ways had a big escort of soldiers In the
dangerous sections, stage robberies were
very rare. The staging days ended on this
line In 18G8, the line having been estab
lished about 1S54. The fare during the war
days averaged about 27 cents a mile per
passenger but after that it came down to
12 and 15 cents per mile. -

was backed for Fee's old Job by one ele.

other thnn I.oula W. Hill, son of J. J. Hill,
and president of the Eastern Railway of
Minnesota, the Great Northern's Pt. Paul
nnd Duluth line. Hannnford, therefore,
prevailed over the son of the head of the
merger roads.

the cutting off of the supply wires would
throw li Into darkness relieved only by the
electric signs and the lamps In the win
dows. There wns no change In the attitudes of
tho Omaha electric light company or City
Electrician Michaelson yesterday. Presi
dent Nash wus spoken to on the mailer
Sunday.
"The contention was settled when the
Board of Public Works approved tho
amended plans m.-ro than a week ago." he
said. "We have taken no steps to put lu
iron poles a-al neither do we Intend to.
If the iii electrician persists In his intent
to cut the wire or put out the lights It
Is likely some means wll bo found to slop
him."
Confers with "Wright.
Mr. Michaelson conferred with City At
torney Wright Saturday and at its clr.se
said ho was more than ever convinced that
ho Is right in his argument that the light
ing company violated the law in failing to
put in iron polea and that he is in a posi
tion to force the uso of such materials In
stead of the white cedar posts and over
head Intersection suspension. However, ho
and the attorney will go over the matter
again this morning In search of legal quirks
and pitfalls.
"If tho lighting company does not begin
the Installation of iron poles or making
preparation for them tomorrow there will
he darkniiss in the downtown district Mon
day night." enld Mr. Michaelson. "This
means In the icondiilt district which lies
between KightH and Eighteenth streete and
Howard and Capitol avenue. Only bona
ftdo work or an injunction will stop thla
threatened gloom, which Includes about
fifty lamps. In my opinion thr- action of
the Hoard of Public Works did not change)
tho status ul' the matter in the slightest
degree. This proceeding was illegal, to say
the least There was no authority, under
the circumstances, to approve amended
rlans and It stems to me that some kind of
a hearing should have been accorded to me,
as the question had been quite well venti
lated In the newspapers."
The time given the lighting company In
which to get busy expires at 1:35 this after
noon, according to the receipt for the order
which wus sent by registered mail a month
ago.
Proper Treatment for I'nenmonln.
Pneumonia Is too dangerous a disease for
anyone to attempt to doctor himself, al
though he may have the proper remedies at
hand. A physician should always be called
It should be borne in mind, however, that
pneumonia always results from a cold or
from bji attack of the grip, and by 'the
proper treatment of these diseases a
threatened attack of pneumonia may be
warded off. There Is no question whatever
about this, as during the thirty years and
more that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has been used, we have yet to learn of a
single case of a cold or attack of the grip
j having resulted 'n pneumonia when this
remedy was used.

"About the last of the stage lines In Ne
braska was the Kansas and Nebraska
Stage line that ran from St. Joseph across
into Kansas and Nebraska. It was op
erated by Captain Cotter, Major S. P.
Wheeler and M. V. Nichols. The line ran
from St. Joseph by way of Troy, Seneca
and Sabetha, Kan. One branch went on
toward Marysville and Belleville through
to Denver, and the other cut off from Troy
up Into Nebraska, passing through Salem,
Humboldt, Pawnee, Beatrice and Falrbury,
and then on up the Republican river until
It ran into the Denver line somewhere
below Superior. Thla line was opened up
early in the '70s and was finally abandoned
tn 1885 or 1886. It was a big money maker.
Some of the owners are still alive. Captain
Cotter lives In Indiana and M V. Nichols
lives at Beatrice. Major Wheeler died a
few years ago In New Tork. One of the
old superintendents of the line who Is
chock full of interesting reminiscence of
the old staging days on this line 1st Jake
Calllson, who is now police Judge down at
Beatrice. '
'One of the famous stage lines of later
days wns the Dead wood line, which ran
at the start from Cheyenne to Dendwtiod.
The old route lay up the Chug, past Fort
Ijramle. then on to the Raw Hide moun
tains, past L,usk, Wyo., and on up into the
upper Black Hills country to Deadwood.
The line was established In 1871 It 1872, and
continued until the B. & M. and Elkhorn
roads put it out of business. It was dis
tinguished for the frequent holdups along
Its route, and though many of the stories
of holdups of the Deadwood stage are pipe-
dreams, there were enough of them to make
the Deadwood line a notable one. The
route had changed somewhat during tho
later years, and had southern terminals at
Julesburg, Sidney and North Platte, as well
as at Cheyenne. It was about the last of
the old stage lines In the west of any ex
tent. Those were grand old days, though.
and about all of the old drivers are gone.
The old coaches have disappeared except
as curiosities. Buffalo Bill has one with
his Wild West show, and I think there is
one down at Nebraska City that is owned
by the Sterling Morton estate.
"There Is still, however, a stage line run
ning from Casper to Lander, Wyo.. on the
Sweetwater, and from there up to Ther
mopolls. It Is operated by the Wyoming
Transportation company of Casper. They
have two of the old Concord coaches on this
Una. One of them is a made-over coach
from the old Overland route, while the
other once ran between Cheyenne and
Deadwood. Both of them are well scarred
with bullet holes, showing the trouble
they have passed through in the old days.
"Then there is another small stage line
running from Rawlins, on the I'nlun Pa
cific road, 147 miles to Fort Washakie. It
is a buckboard line, though, and carries
but three or four passengers at a trip."
