Jtv. Gorfte A. Beechr, priest In charge
Cf the Trinity cathedral, spoke of the life
and dharactes of Moswa yesterdny mornlns;.
"The name anil hlBtory of Mosps should
be familiar to all of un," snld the speaker.
''The story of Moses portray the special
providence Of God In Individual life. Thrre
was nothing; particularly etnrtllnj In the
election of Moses to lead the chosen chll

and inaterlullatn discredit the story of the
burning bush, but If In my finite mind I
ould comprehend all the wonders, power
and wisdom of God, then He would no
longer exist as God.
"Moses did not question the mystery of
the burning bush; his thougtha were rather
of his unworthlness to appear before Ood,
There are thousands of young men yea.
more than thousands who are keeping
themselves outside of the Christian church
because they see mysteries connected with
It. They take some unbeliever's word for
It and fall to come close enough" to hear
the voice. Moses heard the voice and It
was a critical moment of his life. The
destiny of. a nation depended upon his de
cision. lie was the man for the place and
ha aooh grew Into' the great responsibili
ties that fell . to him, I only wish that
very young man of today was Imbued with
tha same sentiments and characteristics.
"Moes saw the reflection of the Father's
will, felt His controlling hand and recog
nised His power. There was no conceited
conception of his own virtues. He became
tha direct agent of God In guiding the af
fairs of the nation. -
"Moses" commands were always received
from God, which waa the secret of his
power. Any young man can succeed by
asking for God'a direction and strength,
and no young man should start life In any
other way. We are today sadly In need of
men like Mosea; men who are ready to cry
out fearlessly against the postmasters' of

young men In bondage. These young men
Who are hanging on the Inst straw of man

POINTS OCT 81 RE GHOISD OP HOPE
Rerr. J, M. Ross Says It Appears In
Life of Christ.
Rev. John M. Hons' theme at the Central
United Presbyterian church Sunday morn
ing: waa the "Sure Ground of Hope." The
aermon was preparatory to the sacrament
Of the Lord s supper, whichtook place Im
mediately afterward, a large congregation
being present.
"The first basis of hope' said the pastor,
ls the fact that Christ died for us. The
Second Is that He lives for us. If having
dene so much as to die for us, la it not
reasonable to suppose that He will live
for us to save us? 'Because I live ye shall
live also.' , Our hope, therefore, Is In our
Union with Him.
"We have been reconciled to God by
His death and are to be saved by His life.
Paul shows us that the two great hopes
tor spiritual glory are In the knowledge
that Christ died and that Christ lives. Our
salvation Is to be obtained by Jesus' In
tercession for us. He who has touched
the lowest depths of human life and pov
erty can symputhlie with us can under
stand and will help us.
"If we are to do the work of Christ on
earth His life must be part of us. Jesus
Insists upon this thought, ; especially to
ward the close of His life and teachings.
' Zt Is because of our union with Him that
.we live. He said: 'Because I shall live
thou shall live also.'
"Ood dwells with the believer the one
(With the humble and oontrlte heart. . It is
only as we come Into contact with this
Ufe-glvlng One that we have life at ail
that we are saved. If He has done so
much for us, will He not complete His
Work now? The answer Is unmistakably
in the affirmative."
!WORK FOR GOD'S CORPORATION
Rev. S. D. Batcher Invites Coagresr
tlon to Inseinsh Effort.
Ia his aermon at the First Christian
church yesterday morning, Rev. 8. D.
Putcfcer took. for hjs text John v:17, "But
Jesus answered them: My Father worketh
Ihltherto and I work." The theme was,
"Tha Great Corporation." Dr. Dutcher
aid In part:
"If you have thought that God has Hie
abode far away from the abcAle of man,
then you have a, heathen thought-or Idea.
God Is a worker, not for one section but
for tha universe. Jesus Christ was a
worker. He said, 'Know ye not that I
must be about my Father's work. It Is my
meat and drink to do my Father'a will.'

works to that end, as Is shown from Gene
sis to Revelations. Once while I was tra
veling from Oklahoma City to St. Louis, I
met a man on the train who told me that
he waa a member of a great corporation.
We are all member of God corporation.
He has called us Into His work. The He
brew Idea of angels Is called a beautiful,
childish Idea. If It Is, It Is Implanted Into
the mind of man In such a way as to never
be effaced. Angels are helpers to God. are
members of His great corporation. It Is
the Idea of Angela that give comfort to the
dying, to the bereaved mother, to the
father, bringing hope, light or darkness,
life or death. The angels of God were with
Him In creation. 'It waa angels who re
moved the stone from the sepulchre of
Christ, and carried Him to heaven In the
chariot. Christ came hot to seek a place
of, ease, but to put His life In His plan,
and God's plan. He became weary, but He
did not cease work. At an age when Na
poleon and Alexander were conquering
worlds. He turned his bsck to worldly am
bltlons to work for God and humanity
He was God'a ambassador In the great
work of saving the world. Our mission.
your mission Is in this work of God's. It
Is as divine as that of the angels. Tou are
to work just as Christ did, not for your
self alone, but to do the work of God
Tou are one of His great corporation. He
commands you and me to go out Into the
world to do His work, to make us one of
God. Compare the work He has designed
for you with that of worldly work. God's
corporation la an unselfish one; It la for
love and humanity. Let every member of
God's corporation do something. Come
with us as workers with Ood. There Is no
more wealthy corporation than His, for
God owns" the universe."
MYSTERY SURROUNDS EMERSON
So Clue to the Mlaalnir Man's Where-
boats Has Tet Beea
Discovered.
The mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of E. A. Emerson, manager of the
rubber department In Hayward Brothers
shoe store, and who resides In Benson,
still remains a mystery and neither the
police or the friends of the prostrated wife
have been able to get a clue to his where
abouts.
Emerson was Inst seen at his place of
employment at 4 o'olock on Tuesday after
noon, when he left, remarking that Jio
would be back In a short time. Since then
no one who knows him has seen him.- He
left his home on Tuesday morning com
plaining of a headache and the 1 suppo
sition Is that his mind may have been
temporarily unhinged and that he has wan
dered off.
Emerson has been working hard for the
last few months and suffers from severe
attacks of headache. He hnd about 14
In his pocket when he left home, but part
of this money he Is said to have expended
on a pair of shoes for his 5-year-old son.
Mrs. Emerson, who has been forced to
take to her bed from the worry and
anxiety she has experienced since her hus
band disappeared, last night said that she
and her husband have always lived to
gether happily and that she did not know
of anything that was likely to bother him.
Those who knew him say he was a strictly
temperate man and one who wae exceed
ingly fond of his home. While Waiting for
the car on Tuesday morning he 'passed
the time by laughing and joking With about
half a dosen people and did riot' act-as if
he had any trouble on his mind. The
following Is the man's description: Height
nearly six feet, light complexion and hair.
weight about 1(5 pounds. Was wearing a
blue coat, gray striped pants and a black
felt hat. He is very sociable and likely
to talk pleasantly' with anyone. " --
A man who tallied with this description
was seen near Benson on Tuesday even
ing, but the person who saw him dtfi not
know Emerson." The Modern Woodmen of
America cams, of which Emerson Has a
member, have taken the matter In 1 hand
and are caring for the wife and boy. - tt
Is expected that search parties wtll fee or
ganised tomorrow which will' thoroughly
canvass the country around Benson, as
there Is a theory that the missing 'man
may have taken a walk and met with an
accident.

MURDERER STILL AT LARGE
Police Offloert Fail In Theii Search for
Michael W. Zeller.
THEORY OF SUICIDE IS ENTERTAINED
ruaeral of Harder Wife ua rather
Wilt Be Held Today Car
aer's laqaest Is Set for
1
TBcaeiay,
No trace has been found of Michael W.
Zeller, who killed his wife and her father,
William R. Burkamp. at the home of the
latter. Forty-second street Bedick ave
nue, last Saturday morning. Police officers
kept a vigil at Zeller's house all Saturday
night and a fresh detail took up the work
Bunday morning and tramped the country
for miles In all directions from the scene
of the tragedy. Captain of , Police Hase
and Chief of Qetectlvea Dunn, with Patrol
men Russell. Woldridge and Voborll. made
a tour of the country as far north as Cal
houn yesterday, with the hope that some
knowledge of Zeller's movements after the
double murder might be obtained. X thor
ough canvass was made, but no one could
be found who had seen or heard anything
of Zeller's whereabouts since his hasty de
parture. The murderer waa generally
known to most of the gardeners and farm
ere between the northwest part of the city
and Florence and would easily been rec
ognised had he gone In a northerly direc
tion, i
Descriptions of the fugitive were sent to
every point for many miles In all dlrec
tions from Omaha and It Is believed that
unless Zeller has drowned himself In the
river his capture Is Imminent. The theory
that he has killed himself is quite gener
ally entertained. However, It is believed
that he may have been able to get to a
small nearby station and taken a train.
The Idea that Zeller waa without funds
when he gave his son Michael a pocket
book and 15.26 at the time he waa last seen
Is discredited by his son John, who yester
day eftej-noon said:
. Thlaks teller Has noser,
"I am inclined to think that my father
got money when he went Into the house
and changed his clothes after he came
from the Burkamp home. Judging from
what he has been earning lately and from
his habits I am aimoec satisfied that he
had money when he left."
"I know one thing." continued the eon.
as he pointed to a six-shooter in his hip
pocket, "I don't think father would have
gotten away had I been in Michael's place
when father said he had killed mother."
Michael Is the cripple eon. John has
been staying at the Zeller home while the
rest of the family are staying at the Bur
kamp home, where the tragedy occurred
and where the bodies now lay In their
winding sheets.
The funerals will be held this afternoon
from the Burkamp residence. Rev, Charles
W. Savldge will conduct services at I p. m.
Interment will be made at Forest Lawn
cemetery.
The Inquest will be held Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock.
Yesterday afternoon the Burkampa ' an
nounced that they would give 200 reward
for the capture of Zeller,
Garowsosao Clee Pesas.
A sensational feature of the search for
Zeller was brought out yesterday by the
police finding entrails near the house, sup
posed to have been brought there - by a
favorite dog of Zeller's. From this the
police nat evolved the. theory that Zeller
has disemboweled himself and that the
dog is eattner k4m piecemeal, i The animal
was at the bouse Just before dark and
shortly after night had set. in waa seen
disappearing over a hill about half a mile
west Of the houae. Nothing wag thought
of the occurrence then, but about o'clock
the police officers amellad the entrails and
on Investigating found them near an out
house. Tney were quite fresh and bloody,
but It wes) Impossible to make out whether
the entrails were those of a man. The
dog Is never known to have killed any
animal and none of the Inhabitants of that
district have lost any.
The poBoe locked the dog: up last night
and thla morning Intend to follow It. The
former assertions that Zeller had a rifle
have now been contradicted, the police
saying he has no arm of any character
with, perhaps, the exoeptlon of a pocket
knife. The rifle which he Is said to have
taken waa found m the house. With the
rinding of the rifle the police are bothered
over the two shots heard by the keeper of
Forest Lawn cemetery at I o'clock on Sat
urday night The supposition was that
Zeller had shot himself. Mrs. Burchamp
has offered a reward of 1200 for the cap
ture of Zeller alive or If killed while re
sisting capture. The offer doea not hold
good If he has committed suicide.
The posse under the leadership of Chief
of Detectives Dunn worked till late last
night, but without success. ' Eight officers
have been detailed to the work and thla
number has been considerably augmented
by those who live In the vicinity. The
rank growth of weeds and underbrush
makes the task of searching a diffloult
one.

II THE IISUKAICE FIELD-
Local agents are . awaiting the semi-annual
statements showing the condition of
the various companies with a great deal
of Interest. During the period which will
be covered by the statements the Balti
more Are occurred, and all are anxious to
know how this great conflagration left the
finances of the various companies they
represent and also of competing companies.
Soma of the statements have already been
Issued, but the great bulk of them will
not be out for several days yet It is
said that losses have been heavier during
the first six months this year than during
the same period last year, not taking Into
consideration the Baltimore Are. One sta
tistician haa figured that the losses for the
period will show an increase of about 14,
000.000 over those of last year, with the
Baltimore conflagration not considered.
However, the premium receipts will figure
up heavier on account of Increased bual
ness and premiums, and it Is believed on
this account a better profit account will be
shown than that of last year, deducting
the Baltimore loss. There is said to bo a
general tone of optimism In the' letters
received from home offices by local agents.
It appears from this that the reoent great
fires have not destroyed confidence in the
business by those most directly Interested.
Better things are looked for In the future.
and it Is generally considered tlfat the
fires which hare recently destroyed so
much property win furnish a lot of val
uable experience that will enable the com
panies to profit greatly In the future.
The western departments of the various
companies that have got their figures com
plied for the first half of the year report
that the loss ratio in the west has been
favorable, and will do something toward
reducing the deficit in the east. Some of
the mpnths show a bad record In Western
Union territory, but the majority of the
companies are of . the opinion that they
will come out very satisfactorily when the
flg-ures are completed.
It was erroneously stated in the accounts
of the Richardson Drug company accident.
which recently occurred, and which was
due to the breaking of the sprinkler in
the company's building, that there was no
sprinkler Insurance carried by the com
pany. The loss was fully protected by
sprinkler Insurance. It Is believed that the
total loss will figure up about 12,500. The
policy covering the loss waa carried In the
Royal, represented locally by Wheeler &
Wheeler. Since the accident occurred there
has been much activity displayed by those
who have the sprinkler system Installed,
and who have heretofore carried no sprink
ler Insurance, in securing- policies. Several
of these . policies have been written during
the week.
Following is' the text of a leading edito
rial In the Fireproof Magazine's current
issue; i
During the year 1903, In the city of Chi
cago alone, the total losa by fire upon.
uuuuiugi ana contents reacnea tne eiior-
.vu. ou,i, ui o,,i,wi., iua ivm over in
surance being I2H5.0W).
The total value of the property Involved
waa 1111,743,441. Of the number and classi
fication of bulldlnrs burned, those of wood
and frame construction were 2,718 as against
thirty-one and seven of stone and Iron re
spectively. - -
There were destroyed In the corporate
limits of the city of Chicago thirteen apart
ment buildings, with a total property loss
of 11,081,622.
Casualties to citisens as the direct and
immediate result of 'fire in Chicago alone
during the same period reveal many start
ling tacts. For Instance, the total number
of men Injured was 172; women, 457, and
children, 272. Within a corresponding pe
riod the total number of deaths by fire
reacnea me unpreceeenrea numoer oi Kw,
Chief Musham'arevoTS. in coverlnsr the
casualties, la explicit 4n the asalanment of
cause for each' of ' the conflagrations, in
juries and fatalities enumerated.
Among the leading cause assigned, we
note the perennial fatal gasoline stove, lace
curtains, matcnes,. explosions or oil stovea,
and clothes Ignited while cleaning with
gasoline, etc.
To tne thoughtrut and reflective builder,
there is one circumstance oonsDlcuousIv
prominent, and that Is the needless, was te
rm obstruction or are and property as a
result of what will In time come to be rec-
gnlsed aa criminal building construction.
When real estate1 Investors. Drooert v ow
ners, and the natural conservators of value
appreciate the faot.tnat building construc
tion can be attained In the hlahest decree
fireproof by an original outlay of 10 per
cent more than for common wood con
struction, then there may be realised
some degree of reform In the work of
clvio Improvement along the line of build
ing construction.
The 11.081.622 loss of Drorertv burned un
In apartment houses alone amounts to noth
ing more nor less than an absolute destruc
tion of that much money, and Is a waste t)f
that amount in value in dollars and cents.
It is an annihilation of human effort,
measured by that amount of coin. No in
surance adjustment caa restore it in the
original.
LiistriDution or loss is not loss prevention.
It Is simply a distribution of the burden of
the sacrifice without compensation or res
toration, but. exceeded a division of the
burden only.
The safety of the lives of tenants is a
consideration which must come before any
and all calculation ' of the property Inter
ests involved.
With a total life loss directly attributable
to fire of 635.901 men. women and children
injured by Are, and, according to Chief
Musham's report, 242 rescued from death by
fire through the heroic efforts of firemen,
the readers of Fireproof Magaxlne resident
in Chicago may have a glimpse of the dis
astrous constant menaoe to life and limb
and property with which every citlaen In
the community stands constantly threat
ened and imperiled.
If an apartment nouse can re duui nre
roof for tllO.OiiO, Instead of being built a
retran for tlu0,000. it is hard Indeed to un-
Artnn1 nr tn anrtreclate those motives
of short-sighted economy to Impel the own
ers to the lesser choice, and by the same
token hard to forgive the suffering and the
deaths which have followed within twelve
short months as the direct result.
Some Interesting comparisons are made
by the Equitable Life In a statement re
cently compiled. It Is sold that the com
pany returned to policyholders during the
year enough money to figure up 11 for
evenr second of time during the year, day
and night. If the society hod paid out 11.60
for each minute of the day and night dur
ing the entire forty-four years of its ex
istence it would not quite have distnoutea
the amount actually paid to policyholders
in the year. To produce the new business
written by the company during the year,
amounting to $320,000,000, an application for
a policy averaging $2,200 must have been
signed every minute of the eight working
hours of each day. The total outstanding
assurance of $l,400,000,00e represents $1.80 for
esch minute of the entire Christian era.
The governing committee as a body will
take up the consideration of the conflagra
tion haaard in ths west, and the commit
tee of seven, to which the matter was re
ferred a short time ago, will not dispose
of It, The committee of seven nas given
up the work with the recommendation that
competent underwriter oe employee, to
have charge of the details, and that he
should work under the direction of Secre
tary Dudley and the governing committee
In general. The members of the subcom
mltee decided that they did not have the
time necessary to devote to the work.
The governing committee of the Western
Union has adopted a schedule for country
elevators to be used In all states except
the Dakotas and Minnesota. The basis
rate for a steam elevator la $1.60, and $1.26
for those using other power. The Illinois
state board prepared an elevator schedule
for that stats which was later adopted for
the Illinois Field club. The governoring
committee desired a schedule that could
be used In any field.

ONE HONOLULU FISH STORY
Natives See Fish Which Satisfy
Hiagcr I'poa Milk of
Cows.
(Copyright by New Tork Herald Co.. 1904.)
NEW TORK. July 10.-(New York Herald
Service Special to The Bee.) The New
Tork Herald publishes the following In
teresting story from Its special corre
spondent: HONOLULU. T. H.. June 21. For months
the cows of the district of Kona. which la
along the sea, have been dry. Prise cows
hloh. in season, could be depended upon
to cive bounteous suonlles of rich milk.
have disappointed their owners steadily,
although there was no physical reason for
It. Milk has risen to a premium in the
aismci ana couia not be obtainea at any
price.
Naturally the natives were eusneoted.
The white farmers organised special bands
or vigilantes to watcn. but nirnt an
night brought forth no result. Cows wh-ch.
should have given large supplies in the
morning would return from a nlaht's aris
ing on the rich grass absolutely dry, al
though it was certain no human being had
approached them during the night.
The explanation has been found at last,
at least, In the opinion of some of the
farmers, and It haa come from the natives.
The far-famed and almost legendary "milk
maid flying nsh have again, returned to
the shores of Hawaii and are plying their
peculiar vocation.
It was only after many natives had been
given a species of the "third degree" by
tne suspicious nustianamen tnit tne ex
planation was fflven. An ancient native
waa responsible for It, and he is solemnly
corroborated by every other native of the
district.
According to them the waters of the
Pacific contain a strange species of flying
Ash which thrives on milk alone. The na
tive word translated means "milkmaids."
TIlM, H K s..w , I e h. n r, .1 m4
in the latter Dart of the eighteenth century
and were supposed to come from tha shores
or Australasia, t ney nave long, puab e
anouts, and- when once in action cannot be
detached. .....
Their Dlen.it is said, is to swim through
the surf quietly to the shore, where, by
jumping up in the air, they can discover a
herd of goats, or sheep, or cows, grasing
on the sea rrass. They then arise, as if In
ordinary flight, and, as If prearranged, cer
tain ones ena tneir nignt on certain ani
mals. There they dangle until their thirst
or hunger Is appeased or the supply runs
short. Tney tnen swine themselves loose
and at the same time gain the Impetus
which enables them to reach the sea again.
Once in a very long while, it is said, one
of these fish Is captured because he Is so
greedy that he cannot fly at all after hie
meal.
The cows, it Is said, never heed their
strange milkmaids, because . the flitter of
the wings of the Ash produces a current of
air most pleasing on a warm night.
