An Omaha Man Cured
"I have been growing Uuaf for over two
years, with noises In my head. I would
become nervous from the distracting noises.
I have tried all sorts of remedies without
any relief. I became discoursed, as there
seemed to be no help for me. I saw an
account of Dr. Branaman's new euro and
went to see the doctor, who told me he
could cure me In a short time, which he
has done, the noises aro nil gone. I can

chosen three more capable men for his
Panama canal business than Theodore P.
Bhonts, Charles K. Magoon and John F.
Wallace, or three men who would IU In
and work together so well. Mr. Wallace
speaks with some authority, for he has
known the three practically since college
days.
"I'hese men are complete complements of
one'Vnother. as near as possible," said Mr.
Wallace. "Bhonts Is a keen business man,
Magoon Is possessed of political and legal
sagacity and Wallace Is absorbed In tech
nical knowledge and Is no business mun
nor financier nor speaker. He Is a speci

Centftrvllle, la., where his father was a
banker. He graduated In ISTfi. the year
before I did. He was not a particularly
polished fellow when he first came, but he
was very bright, and soon began to make
m fine-showing In his work and In personal
appearance. ' His ambition at that time
was oratorical, as he Intended to become
a lawyer, and he soon became the orator
of his society In the college. He was al
ways a most cool and self-possessed fellow
and grew Into an Ideal man of the world.
He was a man whom you could never
catch off his feet a man who was at home
In any society.
"The accident which transferred Mr.
Shonta from the legal to the railroad world
was his marrlnge to the daughter of Gov

gentleman was Interested In railroading
and the two finally got control of several

They finally sold out for a large sum and
on the death of Governor Drake, Mr. Shonta
came' Into possession of a considerable for
tune. "While Bhonts and I were In Monmouth
college we used often to meet young Wal
lace, the son of the president of the col
lege. At that time he was a young en
gineer employed on the government river
work nt Rock Island, not a great distance
from the school. Ho used to come homo
for a visit often, and we three became
very good friends. Wallace himself be
came an engineer by the merest accident
of needing some spending money and Bak
ing to get It by carrying a surveyor's chain.
Ho became Interested In the work, and It
happened .to be the thing he had a talent
for. The two men are about the same
age and having known each other since
boyhood have great confidence In each
other, and I think the appointment of one
had much to do with the appointment of
the other.
"Charles K. Magoon was never at Mon
mouth and l! first met him In Lincoln when
he was studying law In the office of Mason
& Wheedon. He was, by the way, living
In the office and paying his way by what
he rould do. Ho and Wallace, the engineer,
have Come up from the very bottom of their
professions ,to the place;, they now occupy.
Bhonts always had some money. Magoon
was very proud of the fuct that he was
a nephew of old Dr. Magoon, one time
president of Iowa college at Urlnnell, and
one of the pioneer educators In the west.
Young Magoon was graduated In from
the University of Nebraska ' In 1X7G and
entered the law. For two yearB he was
the Lincoln correspondent for a paper I
was running In Pawnee county. I got to
know him very well."
ALL COMMITTEES HOLD OVER
nirnnlal Elections Law Extends Life
of the Party Working
Oraanlsn t Ions.
The county officers and district and state
Judges are not the only ones whose terms
of official life are extended by the biennial
election law. It now transpires that If the
law to held good every member and officer
of the party committees of all parties will
be kept In office for another year. This is
because no primaries or conventions by
which their membership could be renewed
will be held In the year 1903. Investiga
tion also discloses the fact that the new
primary law enacted by the legislature Is
In conflict with some parts of the Idea of
biennial elections1. It calls for a primary
to be held in September, 1906, and annually
thereafter, but, of course, If no election is
to be hold It would be useless to hold an
expensive primary.

CONFERENCE ON THE PROPOSED CHANGE
Few of the Active Members Illscnss
the Plan Without Definite Re
salt, hat Sentiment !eem
Favorable.
About fifty active members of the Young
Women's Christian association gathered In
the association assembly room yesterday
afternoon In response to the request of the
board that the proposed reorganization of
the association on an evangelical basis
might be informally discussed before the
matter come to a vote tomorrow evening.
Although the proposed change was fully
discupsed from both sides, it was entirely
free from any bitterness of feeling. Owing
to the hour, which was the only one that
rould be agreed upon, there was a larger
representation of the older women than of
the younger ones who will participate In
Monday evening's meeting. These Included
most of the women who have been active
In the conduct and management of the
association work and other public spirited
women of the city, and while the women
by nn means agreed as to the principle In
volved in the change, the great majority
evidently felt that if in the opinion of
tho.e who have and are bearing the re
sponsibility of the work the change will
benefit the association, it should be made.
Mrs. Ilnrford Uxplaln.
Mrs. W. P. Harford, president of the as
sociation, said that the advisability of
the change had come first to the finance
committee in its effort to secure pledges
to the new building fund and that the com
mittee brought It before the board. Atten
tion wus called to the fact that while the
present constitution provide that not more
than two women of the same denomination
shall serve on the board at the same time,
there Is nothing to prevent the election of
an entire, board of women who are not
Christians.
Another member argued that the pro
posed reorganization, which would with
hold from all future members who are not
members In good standing of Protestant
evangelical churches the right to vote or
hold office in the asnoclatlon, would grad
ually eliminate all such members, but
figures were given to indicate that In the
Young Men's Christian association, which
l organized on the evangelical basis, this
Is not the case.
In the railroad organization of the
Young Men's Cfiristian association from
3.1 to 60 per cent of the members are Roman
Catholics, while the New York City Young
Men's Christian association has a greater
per cent of Catholics than of any other
one denomination. In the local Young
Men's Christian association the Catholics
rank fourth In point of numbers with the
other non-ovangelical denominations fur
ther down the list.
Members Do Not Vote.
Another member of the board called at
tention to the fact that out of a member
ship of about 1.40D only sixty women at
tended the annual meeting last year to vote
for the officers of the association, and that
It had been necessary to give a supper
before the meeting to get even that num
ber to attend, which hardly Indicates, that
the voting privilege Is jo highly valued
by the present membership. It further
developed that many of the members are
not even aware that there Is any distinction
between the active and associate members,
and on the whole the proposed change will
make little If any difference to the mem
bers. '
Miss Harriet Taylor, general secretary
of the American committee of the national
organization, was present, but did not
speak.
THIEL ENDS LIFE BY HANGING
Farm Laborer Commits Suicide, but
Itenaon for Act Is Not
Known.
Hanging to a plum tree In a grove on
Florence boulevard, the dead body of Louis
Thltl was found Saturday forenoon by two
boys who were gathering flowers. From
the condition of the body it was plain
that It had been there many hours. Thiel
tied a stout necktia about his throat, fast
ened the tie securely to the limb of the
tree, and had lain down. A leather valise
was found between his knees, which dan
gled Just alKive the grcund, and In the
fork of a nep.rby bush lay his overcoat.
Blossoms were Just bursting on the plum
tree and contrasted strangely with the
picture of death beneath.
Thlel had been working on a farm near
Florence called Seven Oaks, the property
of Miss I.ucy Harding. He went there for
temporary employment a few days ago
from the office of the Omaha Kmployment
bureau. The manager, Mrs. Sadler, bad
promised him a permanent position on his
return. It was supposed that he became
despondent Friday evening when coming
back to the city and took his own life.
He selected a grove near the road at 5100
Poulevard.

Ulysses S. Sykes of S23 Tierce street,
chief of the loan and real estate depart
ment of the Payne Investment company,
while sitting with his wife In the 'Orpheum
theater last evening at 9 o'clock, suddenly
fell forward from his sent unconscious.
The attendants promptly carried him to
an anteroom and summoned physicians,
but he died before the doctors arrived.
He did not regain consciousness and the
only evidence of life after he was taken
to the room was a gasp. Mrs. Sykes was
not aware of the serious character of her
husband's Illness until after he was dead.
The physicians made an examination of
the body and said that the cause of death
was some affection of the heart, probably
aortic regurgitation. The body was taken
charge of by Assistant Coroner Dorrance,
and was removed to the coroner's rooms.
Mr. Sykes was 3S years old.
J. P. O'Keefr? of 9;)fi North Thirty-second
street, who Is connected with the. samo
investment company, was sent for, and on
his arrival he accompanied Mrs. Sykes to
her home.
Mr. Sykes has been In the employment
of the company for about six months. He
formerly was employed by the Dlnlngcr &
Metcalf company. He was a son of George
Sykes, a retired farmer, of Hamburg, lit.
Mrs. Sykes is a daughter of S. Fennell, a
wealthy stockman of Hamburg.

RELIGIOUS TEST IN PHILANTHROPY
Hev. Mary (ilrard Andrews Debates
the Policy Adopted by the K.Tan
acllcal Majority and Points
Out Some Conclusions.
OMAHA, April 8,-To the Kditor of The
Bee: If William T. Stead vrc In Omaha
today he might well ask the question: "If
Christ ehould come to Omaha what would
He sny about the agitation now on between
the evangelicals and other good people?"
By the way. that word "evangelical"
seems to play n great part in this contro
versy, and It may be well for us to ex
amine ns to the merits' and claims of this
word. I think we will find, like all human
Instruments, It has been, and Is still, sub
ject to great changes with the ever un
folding ages anil conditions of men. It was
first used In reference to a branch of the
Kngllsh church that was supposed to hold
the true Interpretation of Scripture. Next
It came to be associated with Calvin and
his te aching Calvin, who denied the Divine
Imminence and considered man ns under
eternal condemnation because of Adam's
sin He left the vast majority of the
human race under the wrath of God and
said an Infinite Father had pronounced Its
doom from the beginning. This was evan
gelicalism to Calvin, who did not consider
Wycllffe, Kckart. Tauler. Martin Luther,
Zwlngle, Melanchton, Krasmus, Ioyola,
Huss or any of those grand Godly martyrs
evangelical. Much less would he regard
his modern theological descendants evan
gelical. If some of them bnd lived in 15.V),
Instead of W, I doubt not they might have
met with the same fate at his hands as
did poor Scrvetiis. Kvangellcallsm Is only
another name for "my Ism" as against
"your Ism."
Xatlonal Should Amend.
Ii the circular Issued by the board of
directors of the Omaha Young Women's
Christian association great stress Is laid
upon the desirability of affiliating with the
national organization. Not one of these
reasons seems to me as a feather's weight
when placed In the balance with the great
moral principle Involved. We grant there
Is strength In organization, but never would
we yield the Divine power of Justice and
love to attain It. If the Omaha association
Is not eligible to membership In the na
tional because under Its constitution all
active members, regardless of religious
fnlth. nre permitted to vote and hold office,
then In all reamn I say It Is the national
and not the Omaha association that should
be asked to amend Its test of eligibility.
Why should not moral character Instead
of profession of religious creed be a test of
membership In .nn association that nppeals
to the public for Its support? Furthermore,
there does not seem to have been any lack
In the past In procuring a secretary' from
the national organization. Thus far In the
history of the Omaha association It has
been under the guidance of workers from
the National Training school.
And, pray, who are the women who have
carried this work for the Inst twelve years?
I am credibly Informed that there are but
two who have been there1 for that length
of time and one of these Is a pronounced
unitarian.
Mere Matter of lumbers.
Secondly, It is urged that the evangelicals
greatly outnumber the non-evangelicals in
the association, the ratio being as 1.000 to 90.
The Christ that some of us believe in and
strive to emulate left the ninety and nine
for the one which Indeed seems to me
should be the spirit cf His workers today.
If accordance with their thought of truth
they are so far ahead of the rest of us
they ought to be the more anxious to ex
tend the spirit of Christian courtesy, per
chance by this they might win some. Is
it not rather the same old story of not
being satisfied to hold the balance of power
and wield It for the good of all? Instead,
it must he perverted to the crushing of the
heart of the minority.
There are many reasons not always ap
parent why the minority of yesterday has
become the majority of today. Have thoso
of the so-called non-evungeiical faith ever
been sought after, asked to a place on the
board or ' to participate In the religious
services? Have they not rather been ig
nored and the whole religious teaching and
administration been eondueted by the dom
inant party? It would seem ns if the
common humanity of our age, If not the
spirit of religion, should have demanded
the recognition of those of different thought
under the independent standard.
Question of Conscience.
But they tell us you may still be an
associate member of the Young Woman's
Christian association. Article 3 of the con
stitution reads:
Any woman over 15 years of age may
become nn associate member bv the annual
payment of Jl. Associate members shall

be entitled to all the privileges of the as
sociation, except the right to vote and hold
office.
How many women of dignity of character
and religious conviction can submit to such
an indignity I cannot understand. If that
were the only way In which we could serve
humanity then indeed we might be called
upon to sacrllice all these principles for
the common good. But since the world Is
so broad und free and generous In Its op
portunities of service to humanity nin
evangellcals nre not called upon to sacrifice
conscience in order to serve Uod or man.
To be governed by the rules of an organiza
tion and yet have no voice in the making
of those rules Is certainly contrary to the
genius of our free Institutions as well as
a violation of the Individual conscience.
Why then should our girls wish to Join
an organization that dlsf ranchlscs them
unless perchance they Join some church
with which they are not nt all In sym
pathy? Why should they wish to associate
with an organization that emphasizes re
ligious distinctions and tends to build up
a religious cast that Is constantly emphasis
ing the "I-nm-better-than-you" policy? Our
Catholic girls, our Jewish girls, our Ortho
dox girls, our liberal girls, work side by
side in our great business houses, nnd no
body, neither patron, employer nor em
ploye, ever mentions religious differences.
Think of Thompson & Belden asking, "Are
you a Catholic or a Jewess? If so you may
come In by the back door." And Mr.
Brandels, "If you are a Protestant evangel
ical you will have to stay In the subway."
It Is not these senseless distinctions that
count In these places, but ability and worth
of character. Then why cannot our benevo
lent organizations exercise n little good
business sense?
From n Business Standpoint.
When our business men are asked to
contribute to the Young Women's Chris
tian association they are led to believe that
they aro contributing to better the con
dition of the young women in their service,
but Is this true when this same young
woman may be discriminated against be
cause she Is of a different religious faith?
Oh, when shall that happy time come
when "Peace on Earth, Uood Will to Men"
will mean far more than all the so-called
Kvangellcal tests which are laid upon peo
ple today to disturb the progress and har
mony of the world?
I wish to disclaim any personal grievance
in this matter. I have not been a worker
In the Young Women's Christian associa
tion, but have recently become a member,
with the thought and hope that the future
would enlarge rather than restrict the
scope of Its work. I have even dreamed
of the time when I might enter Into its
religious life. I have profound respect and
love for many women who work there, arid,
while believing In their sincerity, I am
forced to feel the great injustice done
thoso who are equally conscientious and
sincere In differing with them and who feel
deprived of the opportunity of co-oporatlrig
In this good work. If the majority would
only put Itself in the place of the minority
I must believe it would not long hesitate
over the question of depriving one soul of
Its full and free exercise In the work and
privileges of this local organization.
