I S Hymn Written by Canon H. D. Burgess'in 1883. Trinity Cathedral was consecrated on November 15, 1883. From an ac count appearing in one of the daily newspapers, the following la quoted: "To the notes of the processional bymn, "The Church's One Founda tion," Bishop Clarkson and the body of bishops, clergy end !ay mem bers of the chapter and the cathedral vestry entered the sanctuary, Bishop Clarkson and the clergy repeating alternately the 24th psalm: "The earth Is the Lord's and ail that is therein." The procession Included Bishop Clarkson of this diocese, Bis hope Garrett, of northern Texas; Burgess, of (Juincy, and Lord Bis hop Sweetman, of Toronto, Deans Milspaugh, Canons Peterson and Do Lerty, Thompson, Goodalo, Shaw, Me Namara and Oliver; Itev.

Jordan, register; M. H. Sessions and Guy a. Brown, of Lincoln; and mem bers of the vestry. The special feature of the hymns wbb the singing of the one written by Rev. II. II. Burgess of I'lattsmouth for this occasion, which was as fol lows: JEHOVAH NISSI THE LORD OUR BANNER. High on His throne of royal state, The Lord our God, supremely great, O'er highest Heaven holds regal sway, In realms of everlasting day. Beyond the bounds of rolling spheres, Unnumbered by the lapse of years; Before the morning stars had birth, Or sang his praise with awful mirth The Lord our God, and He alone, Held space and time and cause his own; Omnipotent, Hla reign within, His Kingdom free from taint of sin. Through Him, effulgence from afar, Shone forth In sun and moon and star; Angelic forms and forniB of men, Creation's highest diadem. And now on temples made by hands, His promised blessings he commands; Confers his Grace, accepts our praise, While we our Joyful anthems raise: Jehovah, God, Thou great I Am; His son, Jehovah, God and man; Jehovah, spirit whom he bless, 0! God Triune, our souls possess. Amen. Bishop Garrett, the first dean of Trinity, and now ordained over the diocese of northern Texas, preached a sermon from the text, "The Ixml Is In His Holy Temple. Let all the earth keep silence before him." (Written by special request) Bishop Clarkson. The I land Social u Success. From Frlilny'p Dnlly. The ice cream social given last evening by the riattsmouth Military band at Garfield park was a com plete success In every particular, there being a large attendance and much crenm sold. The band plnyed In front of the Hotel Riley and then marched to the park where they played a number of airs some of them of considerable difficulty. The boys aro showing marked Improve ment and before a great while they will piny as good as any band In the state. They are all hardwork ing and consclonclous players and capable of doing good work and If they keep up their pace they will make a good reputation before any time has elapsed. They cleared a neat sum on last evening's social bo tides having a highly enjoyable time. ItcpuWIi ana File. Prom Friday's Polly. The Republican candidates who were named at the convention held In Union have filed their applica tions for places upon the county primary ticket with the exception of E. II. Wescott who will file this af ternoon or tomorrow. Those who paid County Treasurer Schlater the ne cessary fee to get their names print ed In real type upon the ballots as candidates before the people are: Bucephalus Wolph, Calvin 11. Taylor, Charles E. Noyes, and Fred Muen Chaw. Wolph Is a candidate for the bouse, Noyes for the senate, Muen chaw for commissioner and Taylor tor attorney. Herman Dettman re mains In the field as a candidate for the nomination for commissioner In the Third district and, apparently, expects to fight It out with Muonchaw In the primaries. Judge Travis at Home. Judge Travis who has been hold ing court at Nebraska City for the past week, has decided a very im portant action which has been pend ing before him. The case is entitled Maggie Wessel vs. Marcus Wessel, the defendant being a very wealthy man. Judge Travis decided the case in favor of the plaintiff, the wife, and awarded her 19,091.50 alimony, custody of the five minor children of the union and ordeied the hus band to pay $5 per month each for the maintenace of the children. The the case had excited much Interest In that sec tion of the country. E Suffers Great Deal of Pain From Her Injuries The condition of Mrs. 0. P. Mon roe who was so badly beaten up last Wednesday by C. Lawrence Stull, is reported this morning as being very little improved from yesterday. She rested easy at times during the night but at other times she experienced great pain, especially about the back, neck and spine and seemed to suffer a great deal of agony. This morning she was resting some easier than heretofore but still was in much pain and the swelling about her head and face had not nearly gone. It Is evident that she will not be able to get out of bed for the preliminary examination of her brother tomorrow and it is probable this will have to be continued until such a time as she can be moved. Her mother came in this morning from the Stull farm northwest of the city and is in at tendance upon her today. It is claimed that she did not know of the assault until last night when she read of it in the papers. There is a persistent report that there will be no prosecution of Stull In connection with the matter owing to family ties but Mr. Monroe, the husband of the Injured woman, re Iterated this morning his determi nation to have the prosecution push ed to a finish and expressed the be lief that his wife would take the same stand. The arrival of Mrs. Stull at her daughter's bedside led to a revival of the rumor of dropping the prosecution but It Is declared this is untrue and that it has no effect whatever upon the woman testify ing against her brother. The county attorney Is firmly of the opinion that the prosecution must take place and, having filed the complaint, he in tends to do all In his power to se cure a conviction in the matter and see that such matters are ended In Cass county. ilic Olson Photo .Machine. The Photographic News published at New York, In Its month's issue has a comprehensive review of the various exhibits at Milwaukee of photographic appliunces, printing machines and the like and gives each of them a good notice. Speaking of the Olson Photo Machine company of I'lattsmouth, the News says: "This is the year of autotnotlc printing machines and this company Is displaying for the first time a de vice which should receive the at tention of every photographer Inter ested in the rapid and economical production of largo quantities of prints. G. R. Olson, the Inventor, and president of the company, who Is In charge of the demonstrations, says: "We believe we have been the first to get away from the gen eral plans followed In the construc tion of other machines and the plan we have followed, that of the print ing press, enables us to do many things not posslblo with other de vices. 1 will be glad to see every visitor at the convention and ex plain to him Just what this machine can do." The exhibit is located in the center of the main hall." From the above It can be seen that the Olson Photo Machine Is attract ing attention which it deserves and that the photographers have already come to realize that it is a winning proposition and well worthy of use. That the sale of the machine will be rapid la not to be doubted as It pro duces the goods and Is a sure pay ing proposition. (icniiI Record. During the month of June the' Bur lington railroad made the best re cord of accurate railroad operation that the west has ever known.

A complaint was filed in county court today against Albert Collins, who Is wanted for having purloined and taken away goods, wares and merchandise of the reasonable value of thirty-five dollars, the property of one Lizzie Oakes. No details are set forth In the complaint and the war rant for Collins Is still out. Thomas Riley, a bridegman with the M. P. at La Platte, yesterday came to the city and proceeded to start something with John Barley corn. He fought the old gent up and clown and about- the town and did his best to get the upper hand of the aged pug but in vain. Finally he declared that he was a revised and up to date edition of Jack Johnson even If his color was white, and he could put away any human who came In reach of his strong right arm. He kept this up until Agent Norton of the M. P. waxed peevish over the din and disturbance which was be ing created and sent for Sheriff Quinton. The arrival of the sheriff In an automobile, had no terrors for him and he squared away to give the majesty of the law as exempli fied In the sheriff a terrible crack In the neck. Hut he reckoned without his host as the sheriff fell upon him and gave him such a drubbing as never Thomas ever got before, peel ing the hide from one spot on his face with a neatness and dispatch well calculated to win the admira tion of a surgeon. After he had sub dued Thomas and brought him to a realization that he was not after all a second Jack Johnson, the sheriff loaded him Into his auto and took him down to Deputy Manspeaker's haven of refuge for the tired and wayworn traveller and cast him Into jail. This morning Chief Ralney took the culprit In a chastened frame of mind and a sad, sweet recollection of the day before, before Judge Archer who had some of his celebrated brand of justice on ta$ and who was not averse to using same. Thomas could show no Just cause why he should not get some of the said brand as he did not know what caused his frivol ous behavior and Judge Archer then plastered him to the tune of five slmoleona and costs which he could not pay and In default therof he was taken back to the donjon keep there to remain and cogitate upon the un certainty of mundane things and the hard-hearted and cruel world. Virginia of the Air Lanes by Herbert Quick. (Continued from page 4). '"Uncle." snld she. pointing. "I see: It's the ocean!" "Yes," said he. "God forgive me. Virginia, for murdering you and your aunt! Go to her!" Suddenly Virginia pressed bis arm. "Uncle"- said she. "On board the shlpl" The call sounded in their very ears. Within thirty yards hung the Virginia, headed Into the wind and drifting easi ly with the Roc. "What do you propose to do?" It was Cilrson's voice through the trumpet, but it sounded sweet to Shayne. He had no Idea of any man ner In which the Virginia would aid him. but the sickening speed with which he was driving out to sea mado anything welcome as a modification of his despair. "Do you understand?" shouted Car son. "You are lost If you drift on. Drop your painter, and I'll give you a tow!" Swallowing his pride. Shayne order ed the pnlnter dropped. The Virginia, running easily into the wind, dropped back, took the line nnd, with a word of cheer, walked up Into the blast, pulled the painter taut and, like a tug with a freighter, tl.rew herself against the pressure of the Immense gas bag, nnd for the first time the people on the aeronat's deck clung fust and turned their faces from the wind as they felt Its stroke. "Hurrah:" came the cry from the en gine room. "She's holding us!" For a moment she did, and then she droped the painter, and the abandoned Roc fell off before the storm again. The neronef, having shown her power, had quitted its exercise. But the Vir ginia again drew close In. "Put on your life preservers!" cried Carson. "I'm going to put you in the water." "No. you'll not!" said Shayne. "YVI1 lett. keep her up and run before It. We'll c ircle the whirl and moke shore." "Mr. Willott." snld Carson, "do as 1 say or an there Is n God In heaven I'll go above, rip your envelope nnd let you (lrnp from wherever you happen to be! If Mr. Shayne Interferes confine him. and fake orders from nie or drop from hero!-' The second engineer went forward to Mr. Shayne. The answer of the others was to set t lie depressor screws going, nnd t!o (liomM Roe. now quite over the sea, dropped nearer nnd near er to the waves. "Xow." snld Cnrson. "I'll tell you why I turnodvou adrift. Your envelope won't stand the strain. It had started to cave In at the bow, nnd In another moment It would have ripped open and dropped you. Put I'm going to give It the test. If the Roe can strnd the strain I believe I can tow her pnd land you. If she doesn't I shall drop you Into the Atlantic, you'll collapse, and I can tow you In t!e water easily. Put on four Hfn nr,w,rvnru' lTn'rte Again the Virginia took the palrtlerj aboard and surged ngnlnst the gale, I but this time drifting with the wind while the life preservers were adjust ed. Carson was confronted with a te.iritn alternative, ir ne Jet tne ltoc got out to sea she had a bare chance, though no such escape was recorded. On the other hand, dropping her In the water was an expedient full of danger. The collauscd envelope might blanket the passengers and drown them; some might be hit by breaking beams or stunned by concussion with the water from a badly Judged height. And Virginia! Yet, weighing the chances, he did not hesitate. ' "All ready?" he shouted. "No!" cried Shayne. "Come bnek here!" "All ready. Willott?" asked Carson. "Yes!" cried Willott. "Go ahead!" Slowly crowding on power, the VlrJ glnla fought forward Into the storm. The painter strained taut ns a steel bar, nnd Carson wondered If It would hold. Suddenly a rainy gust bore down on them In fury, the envelope of tho Roc crushed In at the bow with nn awful ripping sound, and the huge steely bubble longer than a city block, higher than a four story building be came a ragged cloud of tattered frag nientsnndvvlthall on bonrd, fell Into WATCH THE FARM DEVELOPMENT IN WYOMING!

Carson looked down to see whether the form be loved was smothered uu der the torn fabric or floating free, but never halted for the drowning or the living. He let out fifty yards of line he had made fast to the painter to give slack for the Roc's fall, and then with frenzied eagerness he dragged the whole huge mass ashore, and as the Virginia alighted on the beach her skipper, leaping out. began a fierce on slaught on the wreckage, seeking In Its chaotic mass for her whose drenched form he dreaded to see.

James McLeod of Omaha, deputy state fire warden, Is in the city today making an inspection of the city and looking it over to discover the fire risks Incident to the town. ' He came down this morning, having been sent by the Chief Deputy A. V. Johnson of Lincoln, in response to a request from Chairman Frank Neu man of the fire and water commit tee. That gentleman in company with. Chief Koubek of the fire department, is assisting Mr. McLeod in the Inspec tion. It is believed that no serioua condition will" be found to exist and that the general conditfon of the city will be found to be as good as any city of its kind in the state. Mr. McLeod had been over a portion of the city this afternon he expres sed himself as pleased with the con dition of things, although there were a number of things which he recom mended be straightened up. The business men of the city are especial ly Interested in his work and it is to the business center that he in tends to devote most of his time. He found that many had not prop erly cleaned up their alleys and back yards and these he favors having cleaned at once. Mr. McLeod Is well acquainted in this city, having at one time been a resident of Union and meeting many of the good peo ple here while located in that place. He is an uncompromising Democrat' and is a firm opponent of county op tion. From his travels over the state he says he never saw political con ditions in the shape they are in this year. All parties are torn up and it Is hard to prophesy the outcome 6f the fall election. He found the seu timent against county option to be widespread despite Mr. Bryan's propoganda In Its behalf and predicts Its defeat by the Democrats. Peter Perry and daughter, Miss Manota were passengers this morn ing for Arlington, Neb., where they will visit for several days. Mr, Perry had one on the reporter as he had shaved his beard and looked so much younger that '? completely fooled the news gatherer. He is looking' very well and expects to have a fine visit.
