.'The Transcendent Subject Above All
Other Transcendent Subject. Christ," Dr
Ung sold there had been one thing abova
all others he had endeavored to draw to
the attention of his congregation during
Ms ministry, and that was Christ and Him
crucified. Continuing, he said:
"The jews failed to recognise Christ as
the Prime of I'eace; they have never had
blessing nince. Rome, at the height of Its
power, failr.d to recognise Him as the
Prince of Peace; Home never after had
peace to the time when the two streams
of Invaders poured down from the north."
In telling of the way to the cross, Dr.
Long told of Simon, who had come to
Jerusalem and who was made to bear the
iross.
"Happy that Simon." he said, "even In
voluntarily forced to bear the cross. Happy
thousand times more he who voluntar
ily takes It up.
."Through the way of sorrows, along
' which Christ walked, some needy cause to
day, some noble ideal Is struggling. Too
exalted to be understood by the ma of
tho people, it Is begging at the doors.
Happy that Simon who Is hailed to bear
the cross
"Thousand of times Christ would have
been bulled na a leader of the Jews If He
had submitted to a few ideals. No one
objected to His healing the sick, only He
wpuld not euhmlt to a few little tenets.
They said, 'If He would be true to the
cause as the rewt of us are, never has
Judea had such ' a chance. But we must
have It so.' Who has not discovered those
. stereotyped forms stereotyped forma
against Qod. Every hour He was leas the
Messiah of the Jews, He was more the
Messiah of the world. As the Jews pushed
Him out by the!.- little stereotyped forma.
He was forced Into the great outer world
He whs going to attract every soul In the
universe. No nan knows where Calvary la.
Just where the precious drops of Christ's
blood first kissed the sin-cursed earth.
This very fact Is significant He was not
for the Jews, but for the whole world.
Hanging there on the crucifix He made Hla
challenge to them all. His unparalleled
challenge: 'And I. if I be lifted up from
the earth, will draw all men unto me.' "
Desires to Preach Only Christ.
"While Dr. Long's resignation from Knox
church nd his formal release from the
Omaha presbytery had been announced, he
chose te make no previous announcement
of hla farewell sermon and said, prelimi
nary to his discourse yesterday, that It
was not his Intention to preach a formal,
farewell sermon.
"But thla Is my last sermon aa your pas
tor," said he, "and I desire to preach
Christ."
Through friends of Dr. Long it has been
understood he will enter the life lnsuranoe j
business In Omaha. The church has aa yet
taken no steps toward securing his succes
sor, but thla matter will be taken up In
time by a committee appointed for that
peolal purpose.
EVILS ,IH THE LARQEPf CITIES
Problem for the America People to
..... Solve.
The sermon of Rev. Clyde E. Clsaell at
the Hanacom Park Methodist church yes
terday morning was an arraignment of the
vlla of the larger cities and waa suggested
by the recent bomb throwing Incident In
Omaha. ' He called attention to the char
acter of the Immigration which la pouring
Intd the cities,, and said In part:
- "We are today face to face with the most
significant world movement of the ages.
These movements produce great problems.
It is In the 'cities that we see the greatest
dangers to our social, political and Indus
trial systems. It Is here that the poor see
the rich growing richer and the poor grow
ing poorer. The next problem which we
will have to face Is that of so llsm.
Socialism has Its strongest grasp in the
cities. The surprising showing made by
Socialism at the recent election demon
strates thla fact. . It gained Its largest mo
mentum In cities like Chicago and New

"In the cities the saloon has Its largest
area. At the last election 240 of our saloons
boasted that they controlled ten votea each.

SOMETHING REALLY NEW.
The writer. In his rambles among the
trades unci professions 0f Omaha In quest
ot the new, paid a visit to the HBYN
STUDIO, on lMh srteet, and fortunately
appeared on the ground In time to see
arrive one ot the latest inventions In the
photographic world that la of real practi
cal and commercial value to the profession.
HEYN, The Photographer
In a successful buBluebS career of nearly
25 years, 20 years of which have been
sKnt In their , spacious quarters In the
Granite Block, at 313-315-317 South 16th
street popularly known as the HEYN
STUDIO, have ever ranked among the very
first in the profession In the United States
for progresslveness and excellence of
attainment. This firm has received and Is
at present busy assembling and Installing
what to all practical photographic purposes
Is a small Individual sun of their own.
This apparatus. It Is claimed, will print
photographs as quickly and as well as
"Old Sol" any and every day In the year.
Trie apparatus is a cabinet of special form,
lu the center of which la suspended an
electric .light of a peculiar and beautiful
vlqlet color, said to be almost as active
and powerful In chemical value as the sun's
rays. The shell or cabinet has Its surface
tlvlded into many openings in which can
be Inserted printing frames of various
slssa,. The capacity, of course. Is limited,
but sufficiently large to avoid former en
forced delays of important work by dark
weather. While this firm has on the roof
of the Granite block the largest print
houses between Chicago and the coast
and their .ability to print photographs and
serve patrons promptly Is therefore cor
respondingly great, yet there are even
with them and their ample facilities many
days In. the year when printing was practically-impossible;
therefore they are the
first to equip themselves with what prom
ises so much. As all amateurs are ac
quainted lth the shortcominga of artificial
lights holographic printing papers, they
caa readily grasp the great promise ana
value of the artificial light that It la claimed
will print any and all photographic papers
as quickly snd thoroughly aa though print
ed by sunlight The apparatus baa been
sufficiently tried to demonstrate real practi
cal value and advancement In the art
It remains to be seen whether the electric
current available In Omaha will give best
results. The members of the profession
are cordially Invited to call and Inspect
did you had a hard Job. The other night we
had an Indignation meeting which was at.
tended by perhaps 8,000 men and women.
Tin von mrin to tell me there are only
S.MO people In this city who are awake to
the tremendous outrage which called forth
this meeting? One man had the etrrontry
to sar he did not even read the newspaper
accounts of It The only way to wak
tip a man use mat is 10 pui m
hla door.
"At the meeting the other night one
speaker laid the blame at one door. An
other went a little higher and laid it to
the. police. Another went still higher and
laid It to the mayor. Let us be men and
lay the blame to ourselves, where It be
longs. I am ready to stand my share of the
responsibility.
CONFLICT FIRST AD THE PEACE
Latter Comes Tbroogh the Former,
Says Rev. 8. D. Dntcher.
Rev. 8. D. Dutcher, pastor of the First
Christian church, preached yesterday
morning on "Peace Through Conflict" tak
ing for his text, "I am not come to send
peace, but a sword."
"Christ's mission snd reign Is one of con
flict and peace," said Mr. Dutcher. "It
Is conflict flrst. because the peace that
Jesus Christ establishes Is one of right
relation. The prophets predicted a Prince
of Peace; they spoke of the abundance of
peace that there should be on earth when
Christ should come. This prophecy and
our text seem at variance. Luke pre
dicted peace on earth and good will to
men, and Jesus himself said: "Peace I
leave with you.' Christ came to Impart
maintain and perfect peace. There are
things standing In the way of perfect peace
selfishness, vice, avarice and sin. Study
the character of one of Ood's chosen and
see the grasping, selfish disposition of Da
vid. Jesus selected twelve followers, and
one of these loved money so that he be
trayed his Lord. This Is the world Ood
sent Christ Into to secure and maintain
peace.
"If the heart of man Is grasping. Igno
ble purposes prevail or the carnal mind
prevails there can be no peace with him
self or his Ood. Bin must be torn out of
the heart and new and holy Impulses must
permeate It. Jesus defined the lines, 'He
that Is not for Me Is against Me." He made
the Issue sharp and clear. If Jesus could
not compromise with sin how can the
church of Ood compromise today?
"The report is that the conditions are
bad In this city. So they are In all large
olties. The question Is what sort of a
peace shall we make with the sin of the
city, Shall we go and say to the lawless
ness: 'You go your way and let me alone
and I will let you alone?"
"The devil Is In our politico! and social
life and Jesus says to him: 'Come out.'
And I cannot and you cannot and the city
authorities cannot afford to make any
compromise with sin."
MISSION OF CHl'RCH OF CHRIST
Make Men Like Jeans, Says Rev. M. I
Mellck.
"The Church of Christ" was the theme
of Rev. M. L. Meltck's discourse at Grace
Lutheran church yesterday morning.
"The visible church is holy," he said,
"and the church Is the most Important of,
the great orders of the world. Its mis
sion Is to make men like Christ and no
greater mission can be conceived. Its aim
is to make earth like heaven. The church
teaches Individuals to take care of them
selves In connection with our fellowmen.
Herein the church differs from all other
organisations of mankind. It Is not an or
ganlsatlon of men, but of Ood. Christ
labored not only for the church, but for
all men. The church Is the light of the
world, ordained to maintain the law of
Ood and teach all natlona of the earth
the way of life and of Ood.
"The church becomes corrupt when It Is
exclusive to Itself. It is the lighthouse
which sends out the ray of hope to all
humanity. Unity of purpose la the spirit of
Ood. It Is well that there be different
denominations In order that different preju
dices may be modified. All churches wqrk
to Ins same great end. the salvation of
man. Doctrines may differ, but the great
purpose Is the same. Tehy are all of one
family, but of different Individualities. No
two things are exactly alike In this world.
But unity of purpose unites us In one and
by this purpose shall the church of Ood
and Christ become the church triumphant.
with Qod and Christ its great and omnl
potent head."
CO!tO,rEn SELF TO BE Hl'MBLE
Dr. Jeaks Preaches on Way to King
dom of God.
The baptism of a babe In arms varied
the services at the First Presbyterian
church yesterday morning. A solo by Mr.
Stewart of England was also a feature
Rev. Dr. Jenks took his text from Mot.
thews xvlil. 8, as found In the revised
version or the scriptures: "Except ye turn
and become like little children ye cannot
enter the kingdom of heaven." He said In
part:
"Jesus Christ has often been mlannF.
stood In this quotation. There Is a great
underlying principle In these words and
there Is In the words an exemplification of
what Christ wants to find In a man It Is
the key to the kingdom of glory. He was
not so much deifying children as Inculcat
ing the fact that we must become as they
are or we cannot enter the kingdom of
Ood. The kingdom of heaven and the
kingdom of Ood are synonymous and we
must fulfill the conditions or we cannot
enter.
"The kingdom Is here, and not a separate
part of our lives. It should be a part of
the best of the things that men are striving
for. We must conquer self to be humble.
We must be thoughtful, teachable. If we
are not progressing along the lines Indi
cated, if we are not atrlving for the best,
the highest the holiest. If we are not
child-like and so getting Into close com
munion With Christ. It were ,.
to become teachable or forego the eternal
joy or being in the kingdom of heaven."

Freight and Passenger Dtpet,
OFFICIALS LOOK OVER PR0PLRTY
Son of Men Will Talk, bnt I an pre a.
slon Is Tract East of Jl Street
Right-of-way Will Bo
Boaght.
A party of Union Pacific officials vtslte.l
South Omaha Saturday In a private car
and looked over the ground where the
work of laying a large number of addi
tional puisle switches Is soon to begin.
Plans for these switches were drawn
some time ago, but no effort was made to
begin the laying of the new tracks unUl
after the opening of the O street viaduct
across the tracks. After the bridge had
been opened the Intention waa to proceed
with the fencing of the tracks and the
laying of many new sidetracks. Then It
was found material needed could not be se
cured when wanted. It Is understood now
that the steel for the tracks Is on its way
from the mills. The construction of the
fence which Is to enclose the tracks from
L to U street Is ready and work may be
gin at any time. While none of those com
posing the official party visiting here Sat
urday would give any Information for pub
lication It Is understood steps will soon be
taken to acquire ground east of the Union
Paciflo right-of-way at N street.
The proposition, as it Is understood here.
Is that the property at the northeast and
southeast corners of Twenty-seventh snd N
streets Is to be bought and used for rail-'
road purposes. One of the corners Is oc
cupied by E. T. Miller and the other prop
erty Is the Delmonlco hotel building. By
acquiring these pieces of property and pos
sibly some adjoining land a passenger sta
tion and a freight depot may be erected
by the Union Pacific. Not long ago some
repairs were needed to the present union
station and action was deferred pending
an official Inspection of the ground reported
to be desired by the railroads. More track
age is badly needed here and there seems
to be an opinion among railroad men em
ployd at this point that the next few
months will show decided Improvements
In the present tracks and buildings.
In case the properties mentioned should
be bought by the railroads It would be nec
essary for the city to vacate a few feet of
N street at Twenty-seventh street. As the
agreement between the city and the rail
roads permits the fencing of the tracks at
the foot of N street and the closing of the
tracks to pedestrians a few feet less at the
end of the street will not amount to much.
The Intention at the time the O street via
duct was built was to divert trafflo from
the grade crossing at N street to the via
duct, and quite a number of owners of
property on lower N street bought gTound
and have erected buildings near Twenty
sixth and O streets, as this location will
doubtless be made the center of business
adjacent to and adjoining the Union stock
yards on the east.
Conncll Meets Tonight.
' This evening the city council will meet
and open bids for the grading of C and D
streets from Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth
streets. Bids for this work have been
opene-.". twice, but each time all have been
rejected on account of being too high. The
city hall and park bond ordinances will
come up for second reading after a report
of the Judiciary committee. The city hall
bonds when sold are to draw Interest at
the rate of 4V4 per cent and the park bonds
at 4 per cent. After these bond ordinances
have been read for the third time and
signed by the mayor and published, the
requisite length of time, bids for the sale
of the bonds will be asked for. There la
some talk of refunding an Issue of $144,000
of bonds at a lower rate of Interest Mem
bers of the finance committee and the
mayor have talked this matter over and
the expectation Is that these funding ordi
nances will be submitted to the council
early In December.
The ordinance for the paving of Missouri
avenue under the new law doubtless will
bo offered for flrst reading. There Is liable
to be some discussion on this ordinance
as there seems to be a desire to have West
Q street paved from Thirty-third street to
the city limits aa soon as possible. ' The
work on this street Is requested on account
of the Improvements reported to be under
contemplation at Sarpy Mills. Councilmen
representing districts west of the tracks
will doubtless work for the Q street paving,
while those residing In the eastern portion
will more than likely Insist that Missouri
avenue be paved before an effort Is made
to pave streets entering the city from the
west
Demand for Canned Goods.
The Cudahy Packing company is the only
plant In South Omaha that operator a can
nlng plant Within the last few weeks the
demand for canned meats has Increased
to such an extent that an additional force
has been employed In the tin shop. While
the capacity of this shop is estimated at
250,000 cans a day only about 200,000 can
are being turned out dally. Nearly two
cars of tin olate are consumed each day
now In the making of cans and the force
In the shop averages 226 persons. Every
thing In the tin can line used in a packing
plant Is manufactured. Improved machin
ery was placed In this department during
the summer and now the present force
haa all It can do. There seems to be no
limit on the demand for canned goods just
now and the expectation la that this tin
shop will soon be running to Its full ca
paclty.
Few Idle Men.
For this time of the year few Idle men
appear on the streets. There seems to be
plenty of work at the packing houses and
In the railroad yards for laborers. Con
tractors putting up buildings or completing
city improvements complain about the
scarcity of men. As a general thing the
contractor are willing to pay good wages
In order that the work In progress may be
completed before severe storms come
There haa been little demand from the
charity committee of the council for aid
so far on account of there being employ.
ment for men looking for work. Consider
ing the dull summer In South Omaha the
general conditions are reported to be much
better than for a number of years past

CHARGE GRAFTAT SIOUX FALLS
Grand Jnry Commences Today to
Investigate Alleged Corrup
tion. SIOUX FALLS. 8. D., Nov. 17. (Special.)
The Interest of the people of Sioux Falls
and Minnehaha county Is at present cen
tered In the convening of a grand Jury
In this city tomorrow and the probable
developments from the Investigation by
the grand Jury of charres of graft on the
part of city and county officials which have
been floating around for several months.
The grand Jury Is the first Summoned In
the state circuit court here for a number
of years, and the determination to draw
It was due to a petition, liberally signed
by business men and others, being filed
with the state's attorney. In accordance
with the law, asking that the Jury be sum
moned to Investigate the charges of alleged
graft.
One of the matters to be Investigated by
the grand Jury will be the daylight rob
bery early In the summer of the Agrant
pawnbroklng establishment Watches and
other Jewelry to the value of several thou
sand dollars were carried away, but most
of the stolen plunder was recovered within
a few weeks after the robbery. The man
ner In which the property waa recovered
was said to have been of a decidedly pecu
liar character, and those behind the call
ing of the grand Jury express themselves
as anxious to have the full story concern
ing the robbery given to the public.
Another matter which has been the sub
ject of public charges was the alleged col
lection of parties whose identity has not
yet been revealed of sums of money from
gamblers and others for special privileges
during the street carnival In Sioux Falls
early In the fall.
In some quarters It Is believed none of
the charges will be substantiated and that
the Investigation by the grand Jury will
be without material results.
The vigorous manner in which State's
Attorney Scott has taken hold of the mat
ter of having a complete investigation of
the numerous charges of graft and official
illegal fee grablng has caused consterna
tion in some quarters. As a stutter, the
state's attorney had subpoenas Issued for
every man who signed the petition asking
that a grand Jury be summoned, requiring
them to appear before that body and tell
what they know about the charges of al
leged official misconduct.
It is hinted that if the charges are not
substantiated before the grand Jury a
number of damage suits will be Instituted
by the accused officials against those who
have been the most conspicuous In cir
culating the charges of graft.
Women School Superintendents.
PIERRE. S. D., Nov. 27.-(Speclal.)-The
late election reduced the number of women
county superintendents In the state by
two. In Day, Miner and Clay counties the
change was from women to men, and In
Clark county the change was from a man
to a woma.-). These changes will make
the ratio thlrty-fl- men to eighteen wo
men superintendents after the new officers
take their places In January. The women
appear to be held In higher favor for this
office In the western and central parts of
the state thai. In the eastern part. All
the superintendents west of the river with
the exception of Lyman county are wo
men, as are also those of Potter, Sully,
Hughes, Brule and Charles Mix, while for
the eastern part of the state generally
they are men. There wj)l also be quite a
change In the list of sucij' officers from the
past year, as thirty-five out of the fifty
three are new officers.
Llfe Convict Attempts Snlclde.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 27. (Special.)
Thomas Hall, the Missourlan who was

came Insano, was frustrated in a desperate
attempt to end his life." He gained pos

STUROIS, S. D., Nov. 27. (Special Tele
gram.) Privates Patterson and Werts of
Fort Meade git out of ' the guard house
this evening by sawing off the burs on a

and vicinity Is being scoured for them.
GOOD CAUSE F0R GRATITUDE
Subject Is Scientifically Discussed by
tho Oldest Inhabitant and the
Careful Observer.
The Oldest Inhabitant and the Careful
Observer had Just sidestepped to avoid
meeting a dear old woman who was out
selling tickets for a church sociable, when
the man of dlBcreet observations was nearly
run over by a motor car.
"There always Is something to be thank
ful for," began the old citizen. "Here, for
Instance, we nearly met Mrs. Smith with
that bunch of tickets and at the same time
you narrowly escaped death beneath the
wheels of a street car. I tell you the spirit
of mortal should not be proud like a fast
flying auto or a runaway milk cart It
should be calm and collected at all times
and on all occasions."
"What have we to be thankful for? Why
there is everything to be thankful for,"
continued the Careful Observer. "Every
time we arise In the morning and the sun
is shining, every time we go to bed at night
and the stars are bright, every time we pay
our gas bill and It Is what we think It should
be, every time we buy a dozen eggs and
they are all fresh, every time we play a
slot machine end come out even, every
time we draw a breath and there are no
germs In the atmosphere, every time we
attend a bargain sale and come out whole
and as one person, every time we rock a
boat and are not capalsed, every time we
look at a loaded gun and are not shot,
every time we wash our face and the soap
does not get Into our eyes, every time
there Is no fly in the ointment, every time
our chickens come home to roost, every
time we find our slippers where we placed
them, every time the hard coal Are does
not go out, every time we get money from
home and every time we light our pipe
our hearts should be filled with thankful
ness and our faces beam with a smile. At
all places and at all times, no matter what
adversities may seem to cross our paths,
there always Is something to arouse a
thankful spirit."
"But," rejoined the Oldest Inhabitant,
"suppose some one hits your dog, your
wife pours kerosene on the fire, your boy
loses his kite, your daughter wants a new
doll and your wife a seal skin sacque, your
house needs reahingllng,. your horae has
blind staggers, your coal pile gets low
snd your taxes high, your church needs a
new organ sjid your cow runs away, then
la a man really Justified In being thankful
and happy?"
"Yes, he Is. Remember that 'Into each
Ufa some rain must fall, soma days must bs
dark and dreary,' and that behind the blll-
norft ! Ih tun .,111 alilnlnar .
And the Oldest Inhabltsnt began to think
the careful Observer shout right In the
matter and that one should be thankful
even If he does slip down and bark his shin.
