E. T. Colton of the International commit
tea of the Young Men's Christian associa
tion delivered an address before the Young
Mrn'a Christian association In the First
Christian church tabernacle. Nineteenth
and Famnra street, yenterday afternoon.
He made a strong plea for the support of
the work of the organisation In foreign
parts. .
"There Is ho foreign line any more," said
he. "The largest steamers are now built
to ply between the cities of Vancouver,
Portland and Ban Francisco and the orient.
Grouped around the Yellow sea are France,
Italy, Germany and England; nearby two
great powers are in a death struggle and
tne American flag float over the Philip
pines, bearing testimony that with it goea
civilization ar.d righteousness.
"The 1 paramount question Is. shall the
new civilization of the east be ruled by
Ood or Mammon? ft Is a question that
rom to the fireside of every American
cltlien.
"The student class of China needs our
workers; the railroad men of India have
no helpers. We have got to send workers
to assist the government In building the
Panama canal. We never send a secretary
until the missionary associations have
sent a call for aid. Representatives of for
eign natinna In these hotbeds of sin call
for Young Men's Christian association
workers. Chinese officials are standing
back of hte Work of the Young Men's Chrls
tlon association. In Japan the minister
of education, the minister of war, the min
ister of the navy, the chief justice, an ad
mlral In the navy and the speaker of the
Diet, all aid and stand back of the work
of the Young Men's Christian association.
"Vice flourishes under the laws of
twelve nations at Shanghai. But In that
Sodom, with Calcutta, the most vicious
city In the world, wo have a membership
of 1,000, a Bible class df 342 men and forty
six boy. The association turned away
from Its educational classes as many aa It
received because of lack of accommoda
tlons, and forty men, were added to the
membership of the church. The business
men of Shanghai give 410,000 a year to the
support of the work, and the heathen Chi
nees have given ground worth $26,000 to
build a Chinese Young Men's Christian as
sociation building upon. Omaha may be
proud of tMs, because it la largely through
the efforts of Secretary Lockwood that
this has been accomplished.
DECISION DAY AT FIRST CHURCH
Aanaal Sabbath for Rerraltlaa; Mem
bers at First M. E.
Yesterday wae "Decision day" for the
Sunday school of the First Methodist
church. It is the custom In this church
every fall to set aside one day when the
members of the Sunday school shall join
the church. At this Urns cards are dis
tributed for ths children to sign saying
they will accept Jesus Christ as their per
sonal Savior and obey and follow Him. To

year mora enterred. The school at praaent
has ' thirty-six teacher gnd officers, and
the primary department alone has seventy
five pupil.'. '
For his morning sermon Dr. E. Comble
Smith chose to, tell of "Joaus, the Man of
Borrows," TWa Man of Borrows typified to
tha pastor mankind. Tha Ufa In thl world
was a life of aorrow. Dr. Smith explained.
It reached us In two ways: the pain we
suffer ourselves and the pain of othera by
which we are affected. In thla world man
and sorrow, the speaker said, walked to
gether like the Siamese twins. He quoted
the poet. "Man Is born to sorrow aa the
aparka fly upward."
"As long aa we have body and mind we
have 'sorrow. The more athletic the body
and more refined and beautiful in spirit
the more keen is the suffering. Some beings
are ao lethargic they do not cringe at pain
which , would be ' exquisite agony to the
more sensitive. Some have minds so dull
they are alow to feel. Christ Is a mind ex
quisitely sensitive."

At the Hillside Congregational church the
Jtev.. H. L. Mills preached an Interesting
aermon, having for hla theme "Success."
He drew a word picture depicting David
slaying tha Phllllstlnes single-handed and
aid In part:
"The movement of, governments and
great accomplishments often revolves
around one central figure. Men are not
everywhere equal. There are alwaya peo
ple who can and can't, who will and who
would, and those who are weak and who

Some men are stronger than others. In

we aee tha theory Illustrated. The weak

capital unites - with capital that It may
be stronger and accomplish more. In busi

the skill, power and efficiency of the em

LIFE TOO rRECIOVS TO IDLE
He Tine ta Uw If Daty Is Dose, Says
Dr. Gorat.
Rev. William Gorat, presiding elder of
the Omaha district of the Methodist Epis
copal church, preached at the morning Ser
vice yesterday at Hanscom Park church.
The theme waa the calling to the fellow
ship of Jesua Christ.
"The privilege and responsibilities of fel
lowship with Christ are Infinitely great "
aald Dr. Oorst "We have not much time
to lose aa we follow along life's responsl
bllltlea. The natural tendency of man Is
to be worldly and somewhat frtvoloiia. But
after we are born Into the kingdom of Jesus
Christ we have no time to trifle. Ood
called ua to fellowship. It Is a great thing
for Ood to stoop over the battlements of
heaven and call ua to Him.
"Jesua devoted Hla mighty mind to em
bracing the world's holy affections, lova
and suffering. It Is through Him that Ood
haa spoken. Ood's call to fellowship Is a
mighty call where we may all assemble
around Hla divine family table aa joint
partakers of His goodness. The call Is to
all the worlds. We are not merely called
to enjoy a life of pleasure, but that we
may suffer to moie fully enjoy. We are
not In the world just to have a good time,
but to do His work and thus prepare our
selves for the Joys to come. Holy suffer
ing and holy joy at last leada us to tha
gates of heaven."
FAITH OF THE EARLY CHRISTIASS
Iaterestlaa; Illustrated I.ectare at
First Congregational.
The unalterable faith of the early Chris
tiana waa brought last night In the First
Congregational church very strongly to
the attention of the present day Christiana
C. A. Payne told of ancient Rome and the
early martyrs and with a stereoptlcon very
vividly brought home to his hearers the
terrible persecution of the first Christians.
He had a large number of pictures of both
ancient and modern Rome. In addition to
these views taken from photographs were
many colored platea from paintlnga.
Two places of which Mr. Payne showed
many viewa were the Coliseum and the
church of St. Peter. These were particu
larly Interesting, aa the first waa tha
place where the Christiana were torn to
pieces by savage animals or burned at the
stake, and the second was also a spot
where many Christiana were sacrificed. The
great church also held another significance,
So Mr. Payne pointed out. In showing the
triumph of Christianity on the very spot
where paganism formerly ruled and perse
cuted the pioneers of the faith of gentle
ness. Mr.' Payne la a brother of Henry Payne
of this city and has traveled extensively.
He Is to lecture again thla evening in the
First Congregational church, his subject
being the Yellowstone park. He will illus
trate this talk with lantern views.
DO NOT NEGLECT OPPORTUNITIES
Rev. Dr. Lower Addresses Old Friends
at Florence.
Rev. William Barnes Lower, D. D., pastor
of the Calvary Presbyterian church at
Wyncote, a suburb of ' Philadelphia, Pa ,
delivered a aermon last night to a large
congregation at the Florence Presbyterian
church, taking for hla subject, "Opportuni
ties and How We Meet Them," saying In
part that opportunity Is pictured aa having
a lock of hair on Ita forehead to signify
that you must grasp it before It gets past
you, as you cannot grasp It from behind,
and with wings on Its feet to signify that
you cannot catch it after it haa gone by.
Borne people murder their own opportunity,
which is done by neglecting It, for neglect
la the end of everything. Let a man neg
lect his business and that will soon be the
end of It. Even churches must not be
neglected, as that would mean a dead
church, and nothing can be worse. A suc
cessful man of today Is one who does not
neglect his opportunity and who works with
an end in view.
'I um glad to know there are more
churches here than when I was here. They
have not been neglected, but I am sorry to
see that there are also more saloons.
"Don't neglect your opportunity to' come
to God. He gives you the chance through
warnings, and the pulpit, because you may
wait till it Is too late."

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAIIA
Bshemiass Dedicate Their Htw Hall in

BIG CROWD ENJOYS INSPECTING IT

Daace Follows Balldlagr Will

Dollars.
Sunday afternoon the Bohemians of
South Omaha dedicated their new hall at
Twenty-first and U streets. The dedicatory
ceremonies were handicapped to some ex
tent by the great crowd and the failure of
the contractors to complete certain por
tions of the building.
To begin with there was a big rarade of
Pohemlan lodges. The parade formed at
the new hall and marched to Twenty
fourth and N streets, where delegations
from Omaha were met Fully 360 members
of Omaha Bohemian lodges attended the
dedicatory ceremonies. Owing to the big
crowd which lined the streets adjacent to
the building and overcrowded the seating
capacity In the main portion of the building
a number of the addresses planned were
omitted. Dr. Slmek of Iowa City. Ia.. de
livered the principal address. He spoke
principally on the good of the order and
gave great credit to the Bohemian lodges
In South Omaha for constructing such a
fine building. Other speakers besides Dr.
Slmek were presented, but their remarks
were brief, as the big crowd showed a dis
position to Inspect the building In prefer
ence to listening to speakers.
The building when completed will cost In
the neighborhood of 210,000 and la erected
on the cash payment plan. Some detalla
are yet to be worked out, such as apparatus
for the Turner socletli and the finishing
of bath, dressing and toilet rooms. On the
two big staffs at the front of the building
the American and Bohemian Colors were
displayed. All through the building these
two flags were placed side by side.
Following tho addresses and a report
from members of the building committee
the main floor was cleared and dancing
wns Indulged In for a few hours. Refresh-
irar.t were rerved during the afternoon and
evening. The members of the South Omaha
Bohemian lodges are greatly pleased with
their new home and stated that they would
soon be In shnpe to have a celebration
when all of the interior finishings of the
building had been completed.
Council Meets Tonight.
This evening the city council will open
bids for the grading of C and D streets
from Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth
streets. When bids were opened for thla
work some time ago the council decided
that tho bids were entirely too high. It
was agreed that another advertisement be
Inserted asking for more bids. On account
of there being such a short haul, one street
being cut down to fill another, the price
asked wna considered out of proportion to
the value of the work to be performed.
Some of the membera of the council
think this grading can bo done for about 7
cents per cubic yard. Should the contract
be let tonight the work must be com
pleted within forty days.
The park and city hall ordinances are to
be introduced and read for the first time.
It was said yesterday Charles Cummlnra
and others had engaged an attorney and
would endeavor to secure an Injunction
against this Issue of bonds. One of the
grounds for a restraining order B-aght for
by Cummlngs Is that the vote was illegal.
In the mayor's proclamation the notice to
voters was that the bonds should be voted
on between the hours of B a. m. and 7 p. m.
Under the state law the polls at the, last
election opened at S a. m. and closed at 6
p. m. Mr. Cummlngs declares tha,t he
noticed men at the bootha asking for park
and city hall ballots after p. m. and they
were refused. This is reported to be only
one of tha defects to be alleged about the
bond election.
Cattle Receipts Increasing;.
Cattle receipts at the stock yards here
last week showed an Increase of 19,000 head
over the previous week and an Increase of
nearly 11,000 head over the corresponding
week last year. Live stock dealers at the
exchange assert that Improved weather
conditions have started the western range
cattle coming thia way again. There haa
been a noticeable Increase in the supply
of corn fed cattle. Commission men are
of the opinion that cattle will keep on com
ing to thla market right along now until
later in the year than usual. "While there
is no hope of wiping out tha deficit In cat
tle for the year's reoelpts, it la expected
that the present decrease of 186.000 head
will be greatly lowered by the end of De
cember. Sheep receipta have been falling
off some lately, but flockmaatera in the
northwest state that some heavy ahipments
may be looked for before the month ia over.
Van Goes Again Today.
City Treasurer Howe aaya his Van worked
betten than expected Saturday and he will
send it out again today. Most of tha de
linquents who have been threatened with
the van have made arrangements to settle
and In such cases a few days' time is given.
Mr. Howe wants it understood ha is not
seeking to persecute people.
"We want to collect what la due tha city
on personal taxes from those who are able
to pay and neglect to do so," declares the
treasurer. :
It Is understood that from now on the
van will be seen on tha streeta every day
until delinquents come in and pay the
amount charged against them on the tax
books of the city.

RICH HARVEST OF BICYCLES
Whole Pollea Station Fall ( Wheels
ad Many Alleged Thieves
Ara Taken In.
i
Yesterday the space In front of the desk
at police headquarters waa almost entirely
taken up with bicycles. Some of them
were in serviceable condition, while others
were almoat wrecked by clumsy work in
an effort to dismantle them. From one
or two the tires had been removed and
they had been ridden without tires until
the rims war entirely destroyed. There
were aiso rarks, handles ana various pieces
belonging to bikes, which the police had
captured before they could be disposed
of.
The arrest of Paul Wyman gave to Cap
tain Dunn's men the clue that led to the
recovery of about a dosan bicycles which
recently had been reported lost or atolea
In various sections of tha city. Acting on
information furnished by the Wyman boy,
tha police yesterday arrested Carl Bishop,
living at Twenty-seventh and Yates, Ruby
1'tUUlps, John Brady and James Lewis,
the Utter a negro. The prisoners are all
boys from U to U years old and all live
In tha same neighborhood In the northwest
part of town. . Some of the machines were
found at the Bishop home and aome at
Brady's home, but all the lada owned to
that they were part of a regularly or
ganised gang whose object waa to steal
bicycles and dispose of them. The police
are, led to believe that they were assisted
by older persons from the fact that many
bicycles have been dismantled and various
parts changed to make Identification difficult.
CIVIC FEDERATION ACTIVE
Invitations ta Members to Attend
Hearing; of Charges Against
Chief Dannhn.
This evening having been set as the
time for hearing the charges filed by Elmer
E. Thomas, attorney for the Civic Federa
tion, against Chief of Police Donahue with
the Board of Fire and Police Commission
era, the executive committee has arranged
to make It a field night. It has been
boasted by members of the federation that
their presence in the courtroom on several
occasions Influenced rulings by the Judges
and It Is the Intention to overawe the
police board In Its duty by the same tac
tics. Saturday hundreds of copies of a
circular letter were mailed by the executive
committee of the Civic Federation, urging
attendance on the hearing at the city hall
thia evening to make sure the board
doea not fall to do Its duty;
OMAHA. Nor. 19. Dear Sir: On nnl
Monday night, November 21. the charges
which the Clrlo Federation filed nmlnni
Chief Donahue will be heard before the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners.
These charges state that the chief has
refused to enforce tho midnight closinr or
dinance against saloon, and has refused
to drive prostitutes out of the business dis
trict of the city. The chief haa practically
admitted these charges in his answer, and
It now remains to be seen whether the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioner
will sustain him In this course of action, or
whether they will remove him for failure
to do his duty.
The executive committee think It would
be well for a number of the members of
the Civic Federation to be present at that
meeting in order to let the board under
stand that we are Interested In this mat
ter, and that we expect them to do their
duty.
Wo therefore request that you be present
at the meeting Monday night at 8 o'clock.
The board meets at No. 201, city hall.
Yours truly,
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

Manchester Textiles.
MANCHESTER, Nov. 20.-The week
began quietly, but as time progressed in
quiry for cotton goods Increased, resulting
In a fair turnover. India was the chief
purchaser. There were considerable sales
to China of shirtings for very distant de
livery, but the demand was not general.
Most grades of printing and finishing cloths
were In good request, and full rates were
exacted before business wae concluded. It
Is stated that price rather than delivery
checks future business. Buyers are ag-
rravated by the persistent firmness of cloth
n the face of the decline in raw cotton.
Yarns were strong. Most American crops
were In good request.

Jndge Slabangh'a Version.
OMAHA. Nov. 20.-To the Editor of The
Ree: I have heretofore In my life pre
ferred to suffer unjust criticism In the pres
rather than go there to correct it. And this
is my first and I believe Shall be my last
appearance for that purpose. But I will
not stand false chargea that reflect on my
honor and impugn my motives. I want to
say here and now that during the la
campaign I made no promise to any person
that I would appoint him my deputy and
any statement by any person that I did Is
absolutely Inexcusably and unjustly false.
I have never done so with reference to
any official position unless It was fulfilled.
I shall never do it unless it Is fulfilled. I
have always known the Impropriety of it
I have too frequently known of others'
mistakes In that regard. I waa cautioned
last summer by a good person 'who had
experienced the trials-of appointments In
the office of county attorney.

papers shall not be passed by tne unnoticed.
During the last campaign I was extremely
careful to make no pledges or promises to
any one, and as a matter of precaution
stated to all applicants that I would mako
no promises, but when elected I would con
sider their applications and do what
thought best under all circumstances, and
that I might have proof of Just what had
been said in a campaign of so much false.
hood I made a memorandum of many con
versations Just after they occurred. When
Mr. Zelsler first spoke to me about a
deputyshlp he seemed the most Indifferent
of any of the applicants. He also spoke
of his aspirations for deputy United States
attorney. He stated to tne that he wished
to be considered an applicant, but he did
not desire any promise on my part, as he
knew that I could not make promises under
the law and as he might not want the
position. I told him that I would be glad
to consider him as an applicant, but that
he would have to take his chances with
the rest. He offered me his assistance, and.
like many others, I believe he stood by
me loyally, although doing fax less than
others whom I have not selected. In order
to get support for me he may have led
his friends to believe that he would be my
deputy, but if he did so he did It without
my authority or consent.
Knowing the temptationa of some of my
friends In soliciting votes to place It on
the ground of benefit to them as could the
deputies of my opponent, I often advised
them to guard against any claim of their
own except that of an applicant without
promise of an appointment. At one time
Mr. Zelgler came to my olflce with a draft
of a letter which he expected to Bend to his
people in the Yiddish language. Before
reading If to me I told him there should
be nothing in It which would solicit aup
port for me on the ground that he was to
be my deputy, but that he could on the
ground that he was an applicant for tha
place merely. He assured me that it was
not In the letter and on his reading it
found that such cluim was not there. And
if the letter waa sent out as read to me it
will so appear.
As to his claim of contribution to my
campaign expenses as a basis for his ap
Dointment. he does me an injustice. These
are the facts: The evening of October 15,
about dusk, as I was walking along Farnam
street at Twenty-ninth on the north sida
of the street, Mr. Zelgler called to me
across the way and approached me, saying
in substance:
Jnriza there Is a hard fight against you
nd I &nnw vour financial condition, nnd
that perhaps you are in need of a little
monev. and as I have It and don't need
it now I can let you have what you want
and If you are elected you can pay it back
ana it not lei h go.
He said further:
I don't want you to feel under obligations
to me in any way In my application for
a deputyshlp tor mat reason. .
I said:
I am very much obliged to you, I don't
think that I will need it, but If I do I may
take advantage or your Kinaness, out in
any event It shall be paid back to you.
Later, on the morning of October 18, I
felt that I needed $100, and I prepared a
note for that amount and took it up to
Mr. Zeigler and stated that I would accept
his kind offer and borrow $100 from him.
He drew a check for it. I handed him the
note. He said: "There was no need of a
note." I Insisted that he take It, but he
refused, and again stated "that if I was
elected I could pay it back to him and If
not I need not"
I told him "that whether elected or not,
I Intended to pay him back the money, as
I always paid my debts." And he further
said: "I don't want you to be Influenced
by this In any way with reference to my
application for appointment."
I took the check and the note, and when
I reached my office, aa a matter of custom
ary precaution during the campaign, I
wrote upon the back of the note the aub
stance of what waa Bald and preserved it.
I alwaya considered it a loan and appreci
ated the kindness of Mr. Zelgler, aa he
waa the only one who offered such a favor
during the campaign. After I waa elected
I went to Mr. Zelgler'a office and paid him
back the money In cash. He Bald to me:
"You need not pay it back."
I said: "I borrowed It with the under
standing that I waa to pay It back, and
I Intend to do bo."
Ha said: "Would you have paid It back
If you had lost."
I said: "I Burely would."
I then for the first time had suspicion
of his generous offer and refusal to take
a note.
I could not appoint all applicants, and
I feel gratified to know that many of them
who were disappointed have come to me
and thanked me for the careful considera
tion I gave their application. I have acted
with the best of motives during the cam
paign. I have not made a pledge or prom
ise that haa been broken, and he who says
I have Is after the wrong man. Such false
charges cause me very little grief, but tend
to make me lose my confidence in hu
manity I hope this statement will be
given the same prominence as those In the
Sunday papers. W. W. SLABAUGH.
