SPEAKS OF ORDINARY LIFE
Dr. Jamei Stalker of Abein, EcotUnd, at
Weitmlmter Church.
LARGE CONGREGATION CUT TO HEAR HIM
"Tne Eyes of the Fool Are In tbo
Cads of the Earth" la the
Teat Taken for the
. lermon.
Westminster Prenhyterlan church wil
jore than well filled Sunday morning by
eople anxious to hear Dr. James Stalker,
ihe religious author and professor In the
L" nl ted Free Church college at Aberdeen,
Scotland. For the text of hla sermon ha
took the words from tbu n.ok of Vtoverbs:
"The eyes of the foul are In the ends of
the earth." Ills application waa practical
and devoted to ordinary life.
This attitude of mind, he said, waa the
folly of the discontented. Ho dlxldcd It
Into four classes. The first waa the belief
that happiness lies In a different sphere
than that allotted by Providence. He ex
plained that he did not decry ambition,
but that the harm came from fixing ore's
desires upon Borne dlstunt tphere and fr im
this cause becoming disheartened In the
work at hand.
"If a man Is too good for his work," de
clared Dr. Stalker, "he certainly will ie:
a chance to do the work of which he Is
capable of doing lomc time. The tide of
fortune rises to the feet of every man at
ome time In hla life. But there Is no hope
for . him ' to .enter another sphere unless
he does the work at hund with all his
might."
Folly of Scornfnl Man.
Next the minister dlscuBsod the folly of
the scornful man the one whose only ob
jects of admiration are the people ha has
never Been, and who has no'hlng but con
tempt for the men and women amorg
whom he lives. In this category he pluced
the persons who weep bitter tears over
the Bufferings of women and the death of
children on printed pages, but who never,
from January to December, attempt to
alleviate a case of actual distress.
"There Is plenty," he said, "to admire
and love around about us. If we only have
the eyes to see and the heart to feel. The
wisdom of life is to know the romance of
ordinary existence to appreciate the poetry
of the common things."
The other classes having aspirations afar
off were" thosw who occupy their mind
with the affairs of oiher people and neglect
their own, including many of the reformers
of various kinds, and the lndvlduals whi
procrastinate those who aro looking for
ward to the proper employment of future
time, but who fall to make good use of the
present time.
and the honest doubters. Is It possible He
can b the Messiah the Bon of God?
There are so many things In the way of
accepting the Bible. I ask you, To you
wish to believe?' There are things which
we cannot explain, but the heavenly
Father Is wiser than we and has His rea
sons for all."
PLEADS FOR THE LORD'S HOLT DAT
Rev. R. K Ecrlea I'rges Solemn Ob
servance of the Sabbath.
Rev. R. K. Eccles, pastor of Immanuel
Itcpllst church, preached yesterday morn
ing from the text, "The Lord's Day." He
said during his discourse:
"The Lord's day is referred to but three
times In the New Testament; once in the
gospel of John, once In the Acts of the
Apostles and once In Corinthians, where
It Is referred to as the first day of the
week. My theme is suggested by the fact
that it Is virtually the beginning of a new
church year with us. There are those who
tire so full of self-righteousness that they
! decline to recognise the Lord'e day ac
cepted by all Christianity and the one day
to devote to the praise of Ood, but must
have some other day of the week. This
Fpecles of righteousness suggests the mem
ory of a womnn who was so afflicted with
goodness that she could not bear to see the
j flowers of earth because the earth once
drank the blood of Christ, and of another
who could not bake a cake for a church
festival because the eating of It might
divert the eater from the thoughts of Ood.
The rr.orninrf services of our churches are
the beHt to attend. On the first day of the
week, the Lord's day, lay by In store as
the Lord hath prospered you. Money given
gently and with a consciousness of genuine
duty Is much more acceptable to God than
that which Is given Impulsively. This Is
the Inst Sunday of our church year, and It
is time for us to reflect over what we have
done. To make a solemn church obligation
for its maintenance Is Just as responsible
an obligation as any commercial obligation
and to neglect to fulfill It Is absolute dishonesty."
POIJITS OCT THB FOLLY OF WORRY
Rot. I P. Fwan Preaches on Rollinar
Amj of Trouble.
In Trinity cathedral Rev. L. F. Fwan
preached yesterday, using for a text that
sentence from St. Mark, "Who shall roll
us away the stone from the Lord's Sepul
chre?" "We see those holy Marys going to the
tomb of tho Lord and wondering who
Bhould roll away the great stone from be
fore the sepulchre and when they came
to the place they found the stone removed.
So It Is with the greatest difficulties In
life we wonder who will roll away the
stone, but if we approach them In the
right spirit, they will be as the stone be
fore the sepulchre. We worry about our
troubles and wonder about these stones
In our way, but when we approach them
we find everything made smooth. We look
forward too much. As the quotation says.
'Never trouble trouble, until trouble,
troubles you.' Those holy Marys had all
hat trouble through anticipation) God
oiled away the stohe. Na trouble or
Borrow Is too great for a brave heart to
believe In, Ood. Often the troubles and
difficulties which spoil our lives are noth
ing but creations of our own Imagination.
"Let us examine some of the stones
which keep us from Christ. First there
la anxiety concerning the future. If. we
cannot trust Ood altogether what Is the
use of calling ourselves Christians? The
recollection of past sins Is another stone.
Deep In our heart we recollect some past
sins that we always have to keep hiding.
They make us feel we dare not come to
the Father" house or to the Father's Son.
But we all of us have reason to pray for
forgiveness that we did not know better.
Religious doubt 1 a great stone. There
are the ordinary skeptics, the scoffers,

HILL THROUGH GULF LINE
Minnesota Magnate Said to Contemplate
Boad from Siocx City South.
PLAN IS TO AFFORD OUTLET FOR GRAIN
Lima Would Connect with the Great
Northern, Ran Tb rough Omaha
and Tkn Do What Harrl
nu Cndertootu
Now that E. H. Harrlman has failed
In hla Northern Securities contest with
James J. Hill, the purpose of which. Mr.
Hill declared, was to enable the Harrlman
faction to wrest from Hill control of the
Burlington along with the Northern Pa
cific, reports that Hill will hulld a direct
north and south line opening a way for
the grain of the Missouri valley to the
Qulf of Mexico, are received with more
persistency than ever.
The Kansas City Southern is controlled
by Harrlman. His alleged plan was to get
hold of the Burlington which he could
hook onto the Port Arthur road and give
him the only through route from the
creat grain belt to the gulf. But thin
scheme Pic.ns not pons. Lie now and Mr.
Iiill Is said to nave redoubled his energ.ci
toward the perfection of his scheme .
the "only through route" to the gulf, thus
not only defeating his distinguished rival
In the suit at St. Paul, but accomplishing
tho ery thing Harrlman sought to ac
complish over Hill as a sequence of the
litigation as to the method of distribution
of Northern Securities stock. ,,
Railroad people believe the line Hill con
templates will run north to Sioux City
and there connect with the Great North
ern, the southernmost point of that road.
The line, no doubt, would extend through
Omaha. '
What Mill Predicted.
It Is well known that Mr. Hill has pre
dicted at Intervals during the past few
years that the gulf ports eventually will
be the natural outlet for grain raised In
the Missouri valley. It is said to be on
account of tills belief that he now has
all plans laid to secure a 'Wge portion
of the Missouri valley business within a
short time. The past year's grain busi
ness has gone a long way toward prov
ing Mr. Hill's theory to be correct. A
large portion of the grain raised In Ne
braska, Kansas and Iowa has found an
outlet through the gulf porta and a still
larger quantity haa been marketed from
this territory In St. Louis, which, after
being handled there, went south to ' the
seaboard.
It Is understood Mr. Hlil has held con
ferences with Sioux City business men on
several occasions with a view to securing
franchises for the building of lines through
that city and the location of large terminal
facilities at that point. He also has tried
to secure control of the Union Terminal
company of that place.
At this time a mysterious electric rail
road Is projected from Sioux City to
Omaha and this line Is being laid with
much heavier rails than is ordinarily used
In such construction. The rails used
weigh seventy pounds to the yard, the
same weight which Is now being used for
steam railroad construction. The com
pany building the line has plenty of cap
ltal. It Is said, and there are many who
believe that this capital Is being furnished
by Mr. Hill.
With this line completed the Great
Northern and Burlington, both Hill prop
erties, would have an almost direct line
from Sioux City to Kansas City. During
the past few days many reports have been
In circulation to the effect that the Bur
lington would build south to the gulf from
Kansas City. If such Is the case the
north and south line controlled by one
financier would be an accomplished fact.
At present there Is no line under the con
trol of one man or set of men whloh
reaches from the upper grain belt to the
gulf. By the completion of roads now
building the Gould lines shortly will have
an outlet from Omaha to the gulf, but
It will be a round-about way.
BOYCOTT THE OLD MULE CAR
Councilman Tells of Some Methods
Employed In Early Street
Car Days.
"Reading of the endeavors of one of
the Omaha Improvement clubs to get a
street car extension out Its way," said an
Omaha councilman, "recalls a little ex.
perlence of mine In street car matters
some years ago. It waa during the cable
line on Dodge street and the cable line
ended right at my house. One day during
the winter the cable broke and aa the
Far nam line waa being pushed to a finish
then with big influence back of It, the
street car company didn't seem to be In
any hurry to repair the cable. Well, a
committee of five of us held a meeting,
had It well advertised and adopted some
ringing resolutions about "corporate
greed," etc., and made an assault upon the
street car people. They were very polite
and considerate and promised the car
would be running on Dodge street very
soon. And It was. But Instead of fixing
the cable, the company deliberately sent
out a rickety old car drawn by the laziest
mule In Omaha. Well, we stood It for a
while and then concluded to boycott the
mule car and walk over to Farnam and
take that line down town. The mule car
didn't last long. But all the same the
street car company did not fix the cable
line aa It waa wholly abandoned ' up In
that part of town shortly thereafter."

Last winter Herb. W. Edwards of Dcs

spraining his wrist and bruising his knees.
"The next day," he Bays, "they were so

to stay in bed, but I rubbed the parts well
with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and after
a few applications all soreness had disap

DIFFERENT KIND OF STRIKER

There seems to be a diversity of opinion
among local Insurance men both as to
whether the rates In the business district
of Omaha will be raised and also as to
whether they should be raised. A ma
jority seems to believe that some sort of
an advance In rates should be made, but
Just how much they aro unable to state.
In some cases business In the wholesale
district is belnar written at a rate as low
as 40 cents. When half of this amount Is
consumed In the expense of writing the
business it leaves but a small amount for
the compnny carrying the risk. As one
agent put it, "It Is Just like betting $10,000
aKiiinst $30 that a certain business will not
huve a fire for a year. There are few per
sons outside of insurance companies who
would care to take such a risk."
Some of the nonunion companies say
that there will be no raise In rates, tlint
the Bcheme of raising the local rates wns
tried two years ago and was found to be
a failure. The rates were advanced at
that time about 23 per cent, and the ad
vnnce wits in effort several months. If
uny rst!e is made in the local rates It
will probably ripply only to the business
district. Iiml perhaps to not all of that.
The district which Is likely to be nffected
would be l.O'T.le.l 0:1 the west by Six
teenth street, on 'the east by Kiglith, on
the south by Jackson and on the north by
Capitol avenue. H is barely poMih'.e that
only a slight advance In the rates will be
made, but the dispatch recently received
from Chicago seems to Indicate that the
advance would be about 20 per cent. It
might be this much In certain localities,
but It is not thought probable that so
much of an advnnce will be put In effect
over the whole business district.
A prominent Insurance mart In speaking
of the matter said: "The question of an
advance In rates to meet the conflagration
hazard In congested districts has seemed
Inevitable after the serious and disastrous
fires that have occurred In Baltimore,
Rochester and Toronto during the last few
months. About two months ago a commit
tee of twenty was appointed by and among
the prominent Are underwriters of this
country, whose plan Is best explained by a
statement recently put out by Herbert
Wtlmerdlng, the secretary of the commit
tee, who was long at the head of the board
of fire underwriters of Philadelphia and
ranks high as an Insurance engineer and
Inspector. The entire committee Is com
posed of fire Insurance officials whose op
portunity for comparisons and observation
of hasards and of results of fires has ex
tended over many years and embraces the
entire country. Mr. Wllmerdlng says:
The Intent of a general schedule is to
provide an intelligent, fair and reasonable
scale for measuring the hazards of risks,
so that the rates 01 Insurance on illfferent
risks shall be equitable and consistent one
with another; and
The intent of a congealed district sched
ule follows the same lines, txceot that in
the congested districts ot cities there gen
erally exists a conflagration hazard, wnlh
does not apply to sections of the city
where buildings ae more Isolated, and
therefor the tire Ussrs c;itailed by cer
tain defects of construction tnd occupancy
In a congested district are greater, and
such defects should therefore receive dif
ferent treatment under the congested dis
trict schedule and the charges for ex
posure In such a district should also be
greater.
What must either do without fall? First,
produce rates which will enable well-managed
insurance companies to pay their
losses; lay by a fund to meet the drain of
conflagrations, and provide a reasonable
profit (from the Insurance business and
aside from Investments) by way ot com
pensation for the capital Invested.
Second Provide a standard for con
struction and occupancy of buildings which
shall be based umm the exDerience col
lected by those Who have made an ex
haustive study of1 fires and adapted to the
requirements of trade.
Third Provide a ! separate chartre In the
rate for each departure from standard, so
that every owner of property may know of
me aerects trrom a tire standpoint) that
exist In his property and make such cor
rection of the same as Is nractlcable.
"To what extent the conflagration hazard
may affect rates In Omaha Is a question,
but It must be admitted that the aim and
Intention of Insurance companies, In en
deavoring to determine rates sufficient for
the hazard, have been manifestly and uni
formly Just and equitable in preparing
schedules applicable to all cities and ad
Justed to relieve certain cities from cer
tain charges if objectionable features do
not exist.
"There are few cities of the same or
larger size than Omaha that have such
uniformly wide streets, or where the whole
sale and manufacturing districts are mors
generally scattered and Isolated. To these
who are familiar with the narrow streets
and crowded factory and Jobbing districts
of eastern cities, a feature also noticeable
In many western cities, It is clear that
Omaha will undoubtedly be considered as
remarkably free from the congested district
hazard.
"That the conflagration hazard exists in
many cities is frankly admitted, even
though a sweeping fire may not have proved
it; but the basis of schedule rating now
generally in use throughout the rnited
States charges for such features in the
cities where they exist, on the same ba;s
that each city Is entitled to and receives
credit for the standard and excellenca of
Its own local water system and fire de
partment."
So many Inqujries have been- received by
local life Insurance men concerning the
Zeno M. Host decision recently rendered
In the state of Wisconsin that for the
benefit of those Interested one of the best
posted local agents has made the follow
ing statement:
There are some verv erroneous ideas
abroad regarding the decision In the case
of the Equitable 1.1 fe Assurance Society
against Zeno M. Host, insurance commis
sioner ot Vv lsconsln.
The circuit court of Dane county. Wis
consin, construes section 1,862 of me re
vised statutes of the state of Wisconsin
as prohibiting the Issuance in the future
of any policy of life assurance by the terms
or wnicn me time tor the distribution of
dividends is expressly deterred tor a period
or mure than tive years. The statute thus
construed Is as follows:
"J.very lire Insurance corDoratlon doliis-
business in this state unort the orlncluie
ot mutual insurance or the members of
which are entitled to share In the surplus
funds thereof may make difltriuutlon of
such surplus as they may have accumu
lated annuully or once in two, three, four
or tive years, as the directors thereof may
iroin iung to time determine, in deter
mining the amount of surplus to be dis
tributed there sliaii be reserved an amount
not less than the aaitrc-Kute net value of
all outstanding Dolicies. said value to be
computed by tne American experience table
or mortality, with interest not exceeding
per cent."
In other words, the court holds that the
word "may," as used in the foregoing
statute, is equivalent to "must."
The decision Is directly at variance with
the decision' of the courts of Illinois con
struing a statute identical In terms and Is
also contrary to the practical construction
which has been placed upon the statute
In Wisconsin by the practice of all the
leading life insurance comuttnies. IiisIcmiI
of being a blow to the life Insurance com
panies, aa is very generally supposed, Its
effect Is In reality a curtailment of the
freedom of contract in the state of Wis
consin and a restriction upon the insuring
puunc oy wnicn a citizen 01 mm state is
prohibited from purchasing a form of
policy, the advantages and attractions of
which huve rendered it the moat popular
form of Insurance issued.
It should be clearly remembered that the
decision Is merely local In effort, as It re
lates only to business in Wisconsin, and
while the suit is In the name of the Equit
able Life Assurance society, the decision is
general and affects all companies alike.
It has no bearing upon business already
transacted, but simply holds that the com
missioner has a rtgnt to require cumixtntes
In the future to act in accordance with the
above statute, or to exercise his statutory
authority and deny them a license.
BODY FOUND ON RAILROAD

Pisa.
The mangled remains of George It Greg
ory, a stationary engineer living at 2221
California street, were found about 8:B0
Sunday morning on the B. A M. track at
the foot of Dodge street and 1K feet south
of the Deering Implement building. C. J.
O'Connor, fireman on B. M. switch en
gine No. 2D9, made the discovery and Im
mediately notified the police station. Coro
nor Brailey took the remains In charge and
an Inquest will be held this afternoon at S
o'clock.
The dead man's legs were cut off above
the knees and tho skull was badly frac
tured. The Indications are that the acci
dent occurred during the latter part of the
evening, but how Gregory came to his
death, further than that he waa run over
on the tracks, Is yet to be explained.
Gregory's dog that had gone with him
I Saturday noon on an Intended fishing trip
to the river returned home about 10:30
Saturday iMght spnttered with blood, so
Mrs. Gregory stated. She also said the dog
whined and was much disturbed. Mrs.
Gregory did not attach much significance
to the appearance and actions of the dog,
but nevertheless had misgivings. The first
intimation she had of her lai"hand's death
was after breakfast Sunday morning.
Another peculiar feature of the case, as
related by Mrs. Gregory, Is that when her
husband started for the river Saturday
noon to go fishing, as he Intended, he re
turned to the house twice for forgotten
articles nfter he hnd gone but a short 'dis
tance. Mrs. Gregory looked upon this as
an III omen and asked her hiiHhand to
please stay home, but he made the third
start, saying. "Goodbye, mother, I'll take
care of myself."
o FU!ilns- Tackle on Him.
When found. It Is said there was noth
ing on the dead man to Indicate he had
been fMilnsr. but a new base ball and
cntchlng glove were found In his pockets.
These articles were promised by him to
his son Willie who Is 10 years of age to
day. It is stated It was Mr. Gregory's Inten
tions to meet a friend Saturday afternoon
to accompany him to the river, but the
name of the friend has not yet been
learned. Mrs. Gregory says she cannot
recall it,
Mr. Gregory was 39 years of age and
came to Omahn nearly twenty years ago
from England, where all of his relatives
now are. He Is survived by his wife, a
daughter, Minnie, 13 years of age and the
boy, Willie, 10 years old today.
Steam Engineer's union No. 38, of which
the deceased was a member, will hold a
speclnl meeting at Washington hall to
morrow evening to make arrangements for
the funeral.
Gregory had been In charge of the hoist
ing engine at the new First Baptist church
building, Twenty-seventh and Harney
streets. Formerly he was stationary en
gineer at the Karbach block.
