TVIlbUr F. Crofts of Washington, T. C,
secretary of the International reform bu
reau, mnde fhrre addresses In Omaha yes
terday (JfcrlMng th work and alms of
the organisation, took up ns many collec
tions t pfVMir flrmndal nnalatance for the
bureau nnd launched a fight against the
enactment tt laws proposing- to Invest the
government with a three-year monopoly
In nplutn wiling In the Philippine Islands.
In the morning Secretary Crofts talked
at Westmlnpter Presbyterian church, in the
afternoon at Hanscom Park Methodist and
In the evening at St. Mary's Avenue Con
gregational. In tailing of the work of the
bureau he sal J: '
"Homo time ago while In Iowa on Cha
taiKnia work I noticed advertised a sham
battle at Lake Manawa on Sunday In
which the Omaha Guards and the Thurston
It Ifl os were to participate. They were to
engage In a mock slaughter of the Flit
plnos, an odd kind of amusement on any
day, but especially on the Sabbath. Doubt
less the participants were to receive a good
reward for going from Nebraska Into
neighboring state and smashing the Sab
bath. Not a single protest to this dese
cration had been wiade In Council Bluffs
or Omaha. I wrote one letter to Governor
Mickey, sotting forth ' the facts, and this
good, Methodist, Christian, brave gov.
ernor Issued the order that hereafter no
Nebraska militia shall take part In any
Sunday sham battle.
Cammlns Issues Like Order.
"Later the subject was taken up with
Governor Cummins of Iowa, and he, too,
Issued a like order."
Mr. Crofts said an object of the bureau
was to obtain uniform- divorce laws all
over the country, authorizing the granting
of decrees for adultery only.
In relating the work the bureau had ac
complished, the speaker said it waa car
rylng the roillenlum forward on the In
stallment plan. With regard to gambling,
he pointed to the successful prosecution of
the Louisiana lottery. He said it was the
object of the association to have gambling
negotiations prohibited from transmission
In every way.
"Although the Louisiana lottery Is a
thing of ithe past in this country, public
gambling still is carried on In different
ways. Laws should be passed to stop this
kind of thing," ho said.
In urging his hearers to write Individual
letters to lawmakers requesting re form a
tory measures, Secretary Crofts said not
much help had been obtained from Ne
braska congressmen as yet. He attributed
this to the fact that they had not been
prodded by their constituents.
gloom and night? Does God mock us so?
After having hungered after Him so long,
after reaching out for Him, shall we fall
to And Him near? Ills throne Is mercy,
and not marble; His heart Is love, and not
law. Through the shadows we move on
and when the morning shall break, lo, we
shnll see Him face to face and eye to eye.
Our search will be ended and In His pres
ence we shall through eternities abide
AT THE PLAYE3USES '
MAN'S tit EST FOH GOD SUPREME
Son! Mounts Upward .When Savior Is
Found.
Rev. Clyde' C. Clssell D. D., of the
Hanscom Park Methodist church preached
Sunday morning on "Man's Quest for God,"
taking as his text Acts xvll. 2L
The pastor referred at 'some length to
the gold seekers of Mexico, who were af
flicted with heart disease, and whom nottv
Ing would cure but the discovery of gold.
"Al Hafed listened to the counsel of the
prlesf, who told him of untold wealth In
diamonds, and he sold his farm and went
out Into the world to find the glittering
Jewels, only to throw himself Into the sea
In discouragement. Years after the poor
man who bought his farm found the gilt
firing gems on the very farm that Al
Hafed had sold. And so It is that the
searchers finally And that the treasure of
life Is In themselves," said the minister.
"The apostle Paul speaks of the higher
search, that they might seek God. Here
among the cultured Atheneans he found
n altar erected to the unknown God, and
he tells them he Is here for the purpose
of telling them of this God, from whence
treasures freely flow. It is the highest
(jueot of the human heart to find out God.
"It is the desire of the hearts of men to
know what God is like. All people have
sought to find God. At the hour when Paul
was speaking the people were reaching out
for God. They were the most cultured
people in the world. There were 13,0oq
gods in Athens when Paul went there to
tell of the true God. Standing there with
stoics, epicures and tho culture of Athens
before him, Paul said the unknown God
that you worship, Him I declare unto you.
The Bible never sets forth to prove that
there is a God. . In all arguments it assumes
God Is. All great blessings come through
folding God. The soul then has found Its
holy grail and come Into full life and
when God Is found -man mounts Into
realms of peace and storms cannot trouble.
His soul has come to the righteousness of
life and 'probity of character and some day
every man must stand before God and tell
his own story of bin Ufa in this world."
The pastor closed Ills sermon In a burst
of eloquence
."I have seen tho ..going down of tho sun
with the dying of . the day, sinking deep
Into the sapphire sea with which God nils
the west. . Standing there we see the celes
tial watchers coming slowly Into the places
appointed for. them centuries ago and
which .they have filled with fidelity for all
ages. Deep darkness gathers around us.
Like a curtain It spreads across the ex
panse of sky; Its somber Augers gather all
earth to Its heart. The roar of the busy
Street of the metropolis Is stilled. Its
mansion and hovel alike are lulled to rest;
fluid and sky are calmed and In loneliness
the watcher turns to his rest. Then I
thought Is this a picture of the race going
down at length, after lopg centuries. Into
Speaking of Quality!

SAVIDRD DOES HOT M9B FAITH
tie Tblaka "Fa lull a a Bertha" Wilt
Yet Be Bared.
Rev. Charles W. Savliige of the People'
church chose for his text Jude I, 25, 13.
"My subject today," said Rev. Mr. Sav-
Idge, "is no good work Is ever lost. All
good Is like pure gold. It may be covered
for a short time, but some poor sinner
will kick it loose mid it will come to light
Our church has stood in the face of a good
work during the last two weeks. Did you
ever think that a- dead church never has
any trouble. The preacher who sloeps on
his sofa Is likewise free of trouble. Durln
the last few days we have caught sight of
a lost spirit. She Is sin cursed; she
full of sores, and they have never been
healed. There Is something the matter
with that girl. She Is devil possessed. But
In her case, as in others of a like nature.
it Is better to have tried and failed than
never to have tried 'at all. But the flght
Is not over yet We will save Bertha at
last. God's men never quit.
"Why, do you know that girl can wash
dishes and do housework as well as my
wife. They say she Is crasy, but do you
believe she is when she can work and talk
to you Intelligently, as she does? No,
toll you, I believe that satan Is In that
soul and body, and that he will not go out
without much prayer and fasting. Now,
the church must do something to help her.
If I were a gambler I would probably lay
down 110.000 or $50,000 to destroy souls, and
why should the members of this church
not put down something to save them?
"How nicely that girl got along for
few days. But there came a time when
she let go. We could see It, but I believe
there la power enough in that heart to hold
on, and with the help of God she will.
have been criticised for letting her go ou
of my care, but God said to me, you let
that girl go and I will take care of her.
She went out to sell tickets for this church
and she was honest with the church's
money, with God's money, but she had
that devilish desire to steal from others.
She said I am, bad enough, but I will not
steal from the preacher, when some one
asked her why she did not take my watch,
There are strange things about this, but
do you know we can make a thief of almost
anyone by mistrusting them. . I believe
have got a God that can come down and
take away that desire from that girl to
steal, and He will do it, too.
"But the efforts of this church have had
some effect. They have done some good
The world has been taught that all faith
has not gone out of some hearts. People
look at this church and say, the people
who go there believe that God answers
prayer. The world may laugh and talk,
but It will not forget this effort."
ANOTHER EVIDENCE OP THE END
Labor Unions, Trusts and Strikes All
Foretell the Crack of Doom.
An enthuslastlo audience faced Elder
Luther Warren last evening as he spoke In
the tent at Eighteenth and Dodge streets,
More than 1,000 people heard his address
on "A Bible View of the Strike." Several
times bursts of applause echoed through
the tent as the spirit of his remarks wan
caught by the crowd.
Among other : things, he said . that we
are living In the days that Just precede
the coming of the Savior, offering as the
flrst witness Apostle James, the fifth
chapter, where the rich, are told to weep
and bowl for their miseries that shall
come upon them, because they have kept
back the hire of the laborers by fraud,
and because they have,' heaped treasures
together for the last days. To emphasize
that this referred to our own time, the
elder said the verses following said that
third class the brethren were to be
patient, for the day of the coming of the
Lord draweth nigh. He also showed from
the prophet Habbakuk that there would
be a class of men who would go on en
larging their desires and never be satisfied
He brought the eighth chapter of Isaiah
into requisition to show that In the Inst
days the days that just precede the ap
pearing of the Lord the world would be
daft on the question bf organizations, or
unions, or combinations,' referred to In
that chapter as a confederacy, Into which
the servants of God were admonished not
to enter. He made it very plain that he
was not taking sides, but simply showing
what the Bible foretold would be the condl
tlon at this time. He briefly outlined the
study for tomorrow evening by a reference
to the United States as the two-horned
beast described In Revelations, which dif
fered from all the other beasts of that
prophecy In that there were no crowns on
Its head.
ONLY CHRIST'S BLOOD WILL SAVE
No Other Power Can Vanejalsh Satan,
Says Minister.
Rev. B. F. DIffenbacher occupied tho put'
pit of 8t. Mark's Lutheran church. Twenty'
first and Burdette streets, yesterday mOrn
Ing. He preached from the text of the
temptation of Eve, Genesis, 111:13, and of
the temptation of Jesus, Matthew, lv;l-10.
He suld in part:
The Biblical narrative of the temptation
of Eve has been characterized by many as
an allegory, but as Christians we are to
take It as a positive statement. I am will
ing to entertain- either view. You have
within you an outbreathlng spirit of the
mighty God. God makes all things perfect
and Adam waa perfect until the serpent
tempted him through Eve. Satan pleaded
with the Almighty for seme dominion
where he might exercise his powers. God
gave him the earth. This, too. Is regarded
as an allegory by many, but be ,lt allegory
or fact, the fact remains that there Is both
evil and good In this world. Satan gained
victory in the Garden of Eden' and how
e gloated over. It! He then sought to
tempt Noah and Job, but failed. He aJao
failed In his attempt on Christ. But he la
still plying his arts and the world Is In
conflict with him. He Is today on the
mountain top, the valley deep. In city and
hamlet, still tempting too many human
hearts.
"Our municipal officers fall to do their
sworn duty and are winking at crime, con
doning the open back dors of saloons and
many other things that are wrong In the
sight of God. It Is Satan's hand that is
doing all this. How shall we triumph over
Satan? Only by the bleod of Christ; by
putting our ' Whole faith In Hint and by
obeying Him."

"Ten Nlajhts In a Barroom" at the
Boyd.
With the throngs that went to the ball
game and the parks on yesterday after
noon one would have thought there were
not enough people left to All a theater, but
the Boyd waa more than packed to see the
last performance of "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
In the evening, when "Ten Nights In a Bar
room" was put on, the Jam waa repeated,
standing room being at a premium long be
fore the curtain went tip. A splendid per
formance of the old standard temperance
play was given, the members of the com
pany all trying to bring out the force as
well aa the pathos of the situations, which
appeal so strongly to the emotions. Each
member worked hard and as the cast was
selected with Mr. Long's usual good Judg
ment a really Ane performance resulted.
Little Miss Hoffman as Mary Morgan won
a hearty round of applause when she flrst
came on to beg her father to come home
and sang a song. The piece will be kept on
until after Wednesday evening, with a
matinee on Wednesday.
MAJOR LIEBEN DEAD IN OHIO
Well Known Veteran and Cattle
Dealer Anavrers the Last
Roll Call.
Chief of Police Donahue has received a
telegram from 1L E. Blott, coroner at
Younirstown, O., raying that tho body of
Major Anthony V. Leiben, 638 Twenty
eighth street, 'East Omaha, Is being held
awaiting1 Instructions from relatives or
friends here. The message also aBks the
police to Inquire of Captain John 8. Wood
of 1004 North Twenty-fourth street, regard
ing the major.
Major Leiben lived In Omaha and East
Omaha on and oft for a number of years
and lived In the western part of Nebraska
for some time. During recent years he
lived In East Omaha and occupied his
time with live stock. During the Trans
mlsslsslppl exposition he exhibited a giant
steer and is said to have made a snug sum
of money with the animal, which he took
around the country.
Mr. Leiben answered President Lincoln's
flrst call for troops. He Joined the Seventy
sixth Pennsylvania reserves and" was made
major for distinguished service at the bat
ties of Antietam, Epottsylvania, Shlloh and
Stone River. About six years ago, duiln
an annual reunion of the Nebraska Grand
Army of the Republic, the Pennsylvania
veterans association passed a vote of
thanks to the major for his gallant and
conspicuous services, particularly at Antl.
etam. Major Leiben was a member of the
Odd F.e'Jows as well as the Grand Army of
the Republic. He was 68 years of age at
the time of his death. His wife survives
him at East Omaha. Captain Wood said
last, evening that he spent the greater
part of Sunday afternoon on the matter
and believed that the body would be or
dered sent to Omaha In care of the dead
man's comrades. This he believed would
be done this morning.
Three years ago Mr. Leiben lost his
purse, containing SS00, at a banana stand
near Fifteenth and Douglas streets. He
bought a sack of fruit, laid his purse on
the cart and started away without the
money, returning before he had gone many
steps. The money, he said, was gone when
he returned. Several persona were ar
rested on suspicion of the theft, but finally
were discharged.

understanding that If Bromo-Lax fails to

Bromo-Lax Is compounded on a new and

wonderful success It Is meeting with as a
headache cure. It not only acts upon the
nerve centers of the head, but acts upon
the stomach and bowela which are unu-

making it a better remedy for colds In the
sad than quinine preparations, aa it does
not make the head stuffy like these pre
