The foibles r those who believe they will

Rev. Newman Hall liurdlrk of the Second
Presbyterian- f church at the .meeting at
Trinity MctbVdlst last night.
"The failure of a cherished hope In al
wayii a blow," said the evangellRt. "Hope
cherished for a liretlme that falls when we
attempt Its fruit Is the bitterest disappoint
ment. Nothing Is so dear t us as the hope
of the sour. Nothing can be so hard as
when a man finds the hope of salvation he
has cherished Is unfounded. But we see
from the Plhle many are doomed to such
disappointment.
"First amoag those who will be disap
pointed are those who are trusting In re
llrion for salvation. A man will say, 'I
have been baptised and am a communi
cant. I go to church and Join In public
worship and I my my share.' Such a one
bases all his hopes on eminent respecta
.blllty. Those who know nothing more than
religious belief have a house of sand. Christ
will say to them, "Depart from me, I never
knew you. Faith that is In religion with
out worKB is wunoui nope.
"Good Intentions is another. Men say:
. 'No, I never made any profession, never

Partial Reform a Failure
"Partial reformer are another class.
They say they know they are not what they
should be, but they are better than they
"were and 'they believe Ood will be satis-
tied. But He says. 'Thou shalt love God
with all thy heart, with all thy soul and
with all'thy mind.' If this Is the first and
greatest commandment they are guilty of
' the greatest sin.
"Moral or 'righteous living Is the shield
of others. The world Is full of them of
husband doing business In religion In their
wives' names. They say they are straight,
moral, and clean. Thoy are good citizens,
but I deny they are doing as well as they
" know how, for they know they should
. please God, and they cannot please God
and deny His Son. .
, "Pious ancestry Is a hope on which I
Know at least one man to lean. He felt
secure, of his future, because he had a

liave come out of a good home with re

Vrh goodness of God Is a thing we often
hear. ' He Is too good to damn anybody.
God spared not. ihe angels that sinned,
but cast them down to hell. He saved
Noah and swept off the face of the earth.
He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Christ
said, 'But except ye repent ye shall like

. Only On Chance.
"Another chance is another error. They
say they do not know what the future Is

"The Harvester" at the Boyd.
Otis Skinner and company In "The Har

French of Jean Rlchepln'e "Ie Chrml
neau;" adapted by Charles M. Skinner;
under direction of Joseph Buckley. The

Before the action of "The Harvester-'
has long been in progress one loses sight
of certain little crudities, or, rather, cer
tain efforts to accomplish the Impossible
in the endeavor to give a completely satis
fying picture of a phase of rural existence
that Is essential to the success of the May,
but which has so far defied all attempts
to transplant It from real to the mlmlo
life. Clodhoppers may be depicted on can
vass; there they are hot required to move
or speak, but when one endeavors to give
them the sentient touch and animate them
with voice and motion, one generally falls.
It Is necessary to understand this, for the
people in "The Harvester" are clodhoppers,
all save one wild, free soul, who Is passing
honest, but whose nature cannot be re
strained and held to the narrow walk of
life that binds up the existence of those
who toll from day to day for the privilege
of existing that they may toil the more.
And, by that same token, neither do tha
toilers on their side appreciate the road
wanderer for that is the most acceptable
translation of the original title of Mr.
Skinner's new play, "Le Chemlneau."
Richepln knew the wanderlust; his blood at
times rebelled against the imprisonment
of life within four walls called home, and
he has finely presented the contrast be
tween the two. And the story it Is sim
ple, as al pathetic tales are simple. In
genious complications are reserved for
comodlcs and the like. It Is a straight
path along which the characters In . a
drama of real strength must travel. It Is
In simplicity that the force exists. .
Mr. Skinner gives vigorous life to the
thought of Richepln. He Is for the minute
the embodiment of the gypsy, who knows
not the need of exertion after the appetite
Is satisfied, who learns all the trades and
sings all the songs along the road and dies
at the end, uncaring and. uncared for. He
Is llghthearted, careless of manner and
of money, for he never felt the need of
either. His very desertion of 'Tolnette is
done out of his kindness, for he knows
she cannot go with him, and he cannot
bring himself to the thought of staying
with her. That's all there Is to It. till his
return, when he awakens to a sense of the
wrong he has done, and a desire to right It.
He plays on the superstitious Ignorance
of the solgneuu and wins from him a
terrified assent to the happiness of the
young folks, and then he has discharged
his duty to the living. It Is necessary to
continue his wanderings, for he has no
claim on the love of the woman he de
serted or the son who does not know him.
The play has been cobbled to dispose of
the husband who gave his name to 'Toln
ette and stood between her and shtune In
order that the leopard may change his
spots and the gypsy forsake the road. It
Is to be regretted that Mr. Skinner could
not forego the "happy ending" In this
Instance, for his excellent delineation of a
strong character would be much more
effectively rounded out If he were last seen
striding down the road with his song. As
it Is. while we are looking at him in the
doorway, with the dead Francois In the
foreground and the voices of his loved ones
coming. from behind the scenes, we can't
help seeing the Harvester ogaln on his
aimless tramp.
Mr. Skinner is very fortunate In his as
sociates this season, for his company la
made up of skilled players. The second
act Is lifted to a pinnacle of strength by
the intelligent acting of Messrs. Colvllle
and Clarke and Miss Collier, and won for
them last night a hearty recall. After the
first act the action of the play lifts those
who are In it above the soil, and permits
the exhibition of sentiments that actuate
men and women, and from this time on it
progresses admirably and is finely inter
preted. , ,
The audience, at the Boyd theater last
night was a most cordially appreciative
one, and manifested its satisfaction by
such applause as well deserves to be de.
scribed as enthusiastic. "The Harvester"
will be given again at a special matinee
this afternoon and this evening, closing
the engagement.
The Mellln's Food Company Holds Its
Annul "Roundup."
BOSTON, Mass.. Feb. 7. 1905.-The Mellln's
Food company of Boston for the past two
weeks has been holding Its twelveth annual
"Roundup" of traveling men and the affair
was brought to a happy conclusion by a
dinner at the Algonquin club atwhich were
present the directors, heads of departments
and travollng men. Mr. Thomas Dollber,
president and treasurer of the company,
presided.
This annual "roundup" of the Mellln's
Food company has become known through

business value and many large houses
have adopted this policy of having all of
their representatives meet together, at
least once a year for a business discus
sion. The past year has been a remarkably
successful one for Mellln's Food, the sales
have been larger than in any previous
year, and In addition to this it was the
only Infants' food which received the
grand prize .(higher than a gold medal),
the highest award of the Bt. Louis expc
sltlon, 1904.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Levy Ordinance Held Up to Give Heads
Chance to Be Heard.
CITY HALL CUTS BALK THE PROGRAM
Redactions In Various Fands Too
Great to nlt the Chiefs Who
Call for Consultation Be.
fore Artlon.
'rtie program for an 11.5-mlll levy agreed
upon by a Joint committee of councllmen
and property owners ran up against a snag
In the council meeting last night becausejt
was discovered that In the estimates for
the general fund nearly every city hall de
partment had been cut from H.OflO to $5,000
under the amounts requested. The result
wns that a recess was taken from the meet
ing until 10 o'clock this morning, when a
hearing will be given to heads of depart
ments snd Interested property owners. By
law the levy has to be made at the first
regular meeting in February, so this was
the only procedure possible, other than
passing the levy ordinance.
As arranged the amount to be raised for
the general fund would be $221,028. or Ht.ono
less than the limit. The apportionment to
departments was set forth In a report sub
mitted by Acting Mayor Zlmman, which In
cluded a rule that no department be al
lowed to spend more than the amount set
aside for It. A discussion was participated
immediately by Councilman Hoye, who
said it was folly to allow the departments
less than they actually needed to conduct
the business. He said that no heads had
been consulted about the matter. Acting
Mayor Zlmman talked for retrenchment
nnd aald that the departments should be
willing to co-operate with the council In
enforcing strict economy during the year.
He had noticed, he asserted, that In most
departments employes could be spared for
long vacations sometimes more than once a
year, and he thought that as a general rule
the work could be dona with fewer clerks.
Klbonrn Attacks Zlmman.
His speech had an irritating effect upon
City Clerk Elbourn, who made a personal
attack oh Zlmman. He was "called down"
by Temporary Chairman Nicholson, who
said that such an attack was undignified
and uncalled for. Elbourn offered to resign
If Zlmman could run his office 'for a year
on the amount It was proposed to allpw
him, $7,2U5, or about $1,000 less than de
manded. Zlmman replied that cuts had been made
In every department and that the clerk
should not feel that the retrenchment was
aimed at him alone. He was the only mem
ber who voted to stand by the original
agreement made by five councllmen and the
property owners represented by W. S. Pop
ple ton and W. G. Ure.
The following resolution was adopted
unanimously without debate:
Resolved, by the city council of Omaha,
That as the prevailing sentiment of the
ficople of Omaha and its business interests
s in favor of greater facilities and devel
opment of the interstate traffic between
this city and the city of Council Bluffs, as
well as the other cities and towns and
farms of western Iowa; therefore be it fur
ther Resolved, That we favor the passage of
the Central Railway and Bridge bill now
pending In the United State senate, the
same having passed the house of represen
tatives, and urgently request our senators
to use their influence to secure Its passage
auring tno present session or tne senate.
Vote Money to Kelaon.
By resolution $300 was appropriated to W,
T. Nelson for "drafting amendments In
order to revise the charter." Mr. Nelson.
Is a member of the general charter re
vision committee which asked for the
money. Councilman O'Brien objected
strongly to the appropriation, saying that
tha work should have been done by the
legal department and that there had been
no understanding that Nelson or anyone
else was to receive compensation when the
council appointed a committee of three on
charter revision to act with others. Zlm
man defended the resolution, saying that
the work Involved was heavy and Intricate
and that Nelson should be maintained at
Lincoln to lobby for the amendments
wanted by the committee. He declared
that corporations and contractors stood
ready to contribute to further their own
ends and he thought the only way to get
money from a non-prejudiced source was
to have the city pay It.
J. P. Breen Bald he had devoted much
time to tho revision work, but expected
no compensation from the city. He pointed
out that the coifSolldatlons recommended
would saVe the city from $40,000 to $50,0U0
annually and asserted that $300 would not
begin to recompense Mr. Nelson for the
work he had done and money paid for
typewriting and printing. The charter, ac
cording to Mr. Breen, had to be gone over
from beginning to end. D. C. Patterson,
chairman of the revision committee, spoke
in favor of the appropriation. Hoye and
O Brien voted against It.
Schlemnie Before Council.
Another move to drive out the manufac
turing and storage tanks of the Omaha
Gas company at Twentieth and Center
streets was begun In the Bhape of a pett
tion signed by Frederick Schlemme, who
has long contested the point, and twenty
three other citizens of the Second ward.
They want an ordinance putting the works
out of business and Councilman Hoye said
they wanted a hearing before the council.
The petition was referred to the Judiciary
committee. The matter has been consid
ered by city authorities before and no ac
tion taken.
An ordinance that the local medical fra
ternity wanted adopted prior to last Fourth
of Ji1y was introduced by Councilman
Zlmman. It would forbid the use and sale
of cannon fire crackers and toy pistols,
fire crackers more than two Inches long
and one-fourth of an Inch in diameter;
torpedoes more than one inch In diameter
and firearms except toy cap pistols. The
stage and licensed exhibitions and "specta
cles" are exempt, as Is the wholesale trade
and In goods meant for out of town con
sumption. The council refused to pass the
ordinance before on the plea that local
dealers had stocked up with material for
bidden by the proposed law and would lose
money If, It could not be disposed of.
Aotlon of the council committee In re
fusing to allow the bill of Contractor
Wright for $70 In extras on the temporary
fire engine house at Twenty-fifth and Cum
ing streets was reversed and the bill al
lowed.

A Valuable Compilation.
OMAHA, Feb. . To the Editor of The
Bee: 1 note your most valuable statement
published in you- paper recently, tabulat
ing the taxes for the year la and liM.
Only a person who knows something about
this kind of work appreciates the labor
Involved In making up such a statement,
and only those who have made more or
less of a study of taxation appreciates the
contribution which you have made In the
matter of taxation in this state. I note
also your editorial commenting upon these
figures, giving the salient features of your
statement. You might have added one
more feature, namely, a comparison be
tween the per capita tax upon each person
In Nebraska and . the per capita tax In
other states of the union.
New York, for instance, in the year 1303
collected $143,000,000 of taxes. With a popu
lation of 7,000,000 would be an aggregate
tax per capita of over $J0. Nebraska for
the year 13 had a per capita tax of less
than $10 and for HH a little over $10.
While thero Is no very Uniform rule by
which taxation can be determined with
out having the exact facts, yet my ob
servation In the study ot tho subject leads
me to think that municipalities such as
Omaha usually spend about $10 per capita
In local government. It Is safe to say that
$1,000,000 ought to be a fair annual ex
penditure for Omaha. ,
Your figures, of course, show that, while
the railroads do not escape the ordinary
state, county and school taxes to any great
degree, they do escape the municipal al
most entirely, and the fact that you show
this makes your statement valuable. .
As many of the states of the union,
especially New York,' make It the duty of
the state auditor or state tax commissioner
to collect the facts that you have gathered
at so great an expense, I beg to suggest
If It would not be feasible to pass a law
requiring the state auditor of Nebraska to
compile a statement ot all the taxes col
lected In the state, whether- state, county,
school, municipal, townrhtp or village.
In this way every two years we would
have a valuable compendium of the actual
taxes of the entire state.
( It seems to mo that your . statement
would be of great interest to the State
Board of Tax commissioners of every state
In the union and also to the tax commis
sioners of the various municipalities of
Importance through the United States.
C. F. HARRISON,
Origin of Ileyn'a Flrr.
OMAHA, Feb. 7. To the Editor of The
Bee: The origin of the fire, which partly
destroyed the premises of H. Heyn, 320
South Fifteenth street, is In the dally
papers attributed to . defective wiring.
Though this class of work will , have to
stand the blame for a good many fires of
unknown origin, It wan not the cause of
this. The equipment referred to was in
spected and passed on by me personally
on November 28, 1904, and was as perfect
as modern engineering can design It. Even
the most hasty examination since tho fire
will show that It originated at least a dis
tance of fifteen or twenty feet from this
apparatus, which was all jett intact ex
cept for its being scorched. . I have gone
Into this matter very , carefully for the
reason that similar apparatus are used by
other photographers, and If I could have
found any cause of' danger In this I should
at once cut out the balance.
There Is, according" to "my Judgment, no
doubt but that the theory of Chief Salter
In regard to this fire- Is ' correct, viz. : : It
started from a gas stove, -which had been
left burning. 'r"

PRACTICE IS COUNTY COURT
Stanton Conctj Attorney Attacks Validity
of Douglas Connty Methods,
TECHNICAL POINTS PRESENTEDIN DEFENSE
Judge Vlasouhaler Asked to Declare
that gammons Issued by Ills
Clerk Is Kot Enough to
Hold Defendanta.
Attorney W. W. Young of Stanton county
raised some Interesting points In Judge
Vlnsonhaler's court Tuesday morning. The
cwje at bar was that of Perry, Bauer A
Fnnls, Omaha commission merchants,
against the bondsmen of a certain agent
the local firm had In their employ some
time ago In Stanton county and with whom
there arose a difficulty In settling up ac
counts. Being unable to secure a settle
ment they thought right. Perry. Bauer &
Ennls concluded to get after the bondsmen
of the agent.
Biding their time until one of the bonds
men came to Omaha to attend a convention,
the local firm secured service on him. If
this service sticks then all the bondsmen
will have to appear and answer In the
county court here. It Is to prevent It from
sticking that Attorney Young sprang his
constitutional points on the court.
The bondsman on whom service was se
cured Is Peter Davidson, and It Is on his
behalf the Stanton attorney appears. First
defendant's lawyer takes exception to the
law creating the office of clerk of the
county court of Douglas county. He holds
that this law contravenes section 19 of
article vl ot the state constitution, provid
ing for the uniformity of procedure in
state courts. In that It confers on the
clerk powers co-extensive with those of the
Judge insofar as the issuing and sealing
of processes Is concerned. The law vests
In the Board of County Commissioners the
power to appoint the number of clerks the
county Judge shall have, and they may
designate one of these as the clerk of the (
county court, which has been , done In
Douglas county. The attorney contends
that as this Is not done In other counties
the action taken here destroys the uni
formity of procedure In the administration
of the law.
Practice of Issuing: Summons.
But this is not the main contention that
Attorney Young Is pressing. Under the :
law, it seems, tne county court m veaieu
with a limited and a more general Jurisdic
tion In the Issuing of summons. In the
limited, or Justice of the peace Jurisdiction,
a summons must set out the cause of action
In such a way that the person summoned
Into court may know what he Is expected
to meet. In the other, or broader Jurisdic
tion, the summons need not specifically set
out the cause of action, but there are cer
tain things prescribed to be done which the
attorney asserts have not been done In this
case. He contends that, while the original
of the summons served on Mr. Davidson
may have contained words showing the
suit was to recover money "due on a cer
tain bond," the copy served on defendant
did not contain these words. Hence, says
Mr. Young, it was not a certified copy of
the summons In the case, and there was
no service. This as to a summons issued
on a Justice of the peace blank. . With re
gard to the other forms of summons, de
fendant's attorney asserts the express terms
of the law were not compiled with.
"Taking either horn of the dilemma he
may choose," said the attorney, 'I do not
see how counsel for plaintiffs can claim
that this court has Jurisdiction over de
fendant, and we contend that this county
court Is ousted' of Jurisdiction In the case
by the plain provisions of the constitution
and the law." '
Contention for Plaintiff.
Attorney DeBord, combating the rathor
novel points raised by the defendant's
lawyer, was Inclined to treat them as
merely technical and of a character which
courts have always Ignored "mete Irregu
larities," he said. The defendants sought
to be reached were four In number, two
saloonkeepers, a machine man and an
other who was very well acquainted all
over Stanton county. The plaintiffs had
been unable to secure lawyers In Stanton
country to try the case there for them,
and so had to have recourse to the method
pursued. So, If Mr. Young Insisted that
his clients should not be brought to trial
In Douglas county, he did not want to go
to Stanton county, and honors were about
even.
"I can say," said Mr. Young, "that
plaintiffs did not approach my partner or
myself In their search for local lawyers
at Stanton, and so that contention Is
not well based."
Mr. De Bord smiled with Just a hint of
pleasure, while the retort caused the court
and the opectators to give rein to their
rlslblcs.
As Attorney Do Bord desired time to
look up and present authorities to cripple
the opposing counsel's challenge of the
court's Jurisdiction, Judge Vlnsonhaier
continued the hearing to a later date to
be agreed on by the parties.

A one-story frame building, 1005 Daven
port street, was completely ruined by Are
and water at an eariy nuur mis morning.
The, building was occupied by a number of
colored families and all of them lost every
thlna thev had. The tire was started from
a defective flue and before the fire depart
ment arrived tne wnoie Duiioing was in
flames. The building next to it, a two
story frame, soon caught tire, but the
names were extinguished before much dam
age was done. Mrs. Anna Smith, a colored
woman living at 1006, fell downstairs and
sprained her anKie quite severely, sue was
taken to the nollce station, where she was
given attention and a room for the night.
Mrs. Jackson, another colored woman, es
caped from the building with nothing but
her nightclothes and a blanket which she
threw aroimd her when driven from the
building by the fire and smoke. The two
story building at 1006 was used as a room
ing house by L E. Overman, Damage to
this building was small. Total loss will
probably amount to about 1900.

KIRKENDALL'S NEW LOCATION
Shoeinan Moves Into Harney Street
. Building- Left Vacant by
'' Dewey A Stone. .'
The F. P. Klrkendall Shoe Manufacturing
company has leased for one year the Har
ney street building of Dewey & Stone.
Mr. Klrkendall' will move his offices In and
take possession at once. Monday he began
moving goods from the freight yards as
they came in direct to the new warehouse.
The discontinuance of business by . Mr.
Stone some days ago came at about the
same time as the great fire which de
stroyed the business home of Mr. Klrken
dall and others. Mr. Stone wished, If possi
ble, to rent the Harney, and the Farnam
street buildings - to one firm, as they are
connected across the alley by a bridge. A
number of Jobbers Inspected the buildings,
but found the two buildings larger than
they could use. The fire made Mr. Klrken
dall a searcher for new quarters and the
Dewey & Stone Harney street building,
giving about the same storage and sales
room capacity and being almost across
the street from v the burned building, he
found It the best move he could make. No
remodeling is to be attempted at this time
In the way of permanent offices. The fac
tory on Tenth street has been running
night and day and Is working up stock to
replace that destroyed. Mr. Klrkendall ex
pects to be in first-class shape In a few
weeks.
Porter, Ryerson & Hcobler, the manu
facturing chemists burned out, have taken
a lease on the old Bee building, 916 Far
nam street. They are now busy putting In
their fixtures and supplies and will shortly
resume the manufacture of pharmaceutical
goods. The new location gives them a floor
space 33x132 and four stories In height.
Voegele & Dinning have not yet' closed a
lease. The Insurance companies have not
finished the adjustment of losses. Agree
ments have been reached on all of the
burned stocks except that of M. E. Smith
& Co., but the work Is not finished on the
buildings.
