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."

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.

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.

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

DEPOT! HE W
OEM III 1 CITY
Makes Visit Here to Inspect the
Condition of Things.
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.
