Lewis Sermon, and His Manner of Delivery. From Friday's Polly. The revival services at the Methodist church are continuing to old the interest of the people. The song service last evening was enjoyed by all present. Rev. Lewis and Prof. Sutherland were to have sung a duet, but owing to Rev. Lewis' ' throat trouble, he did not sing, his part be ing very ably taken by Mrs. E. II. Wescott, who, with Prof. Sutherland, sang ';i Am So Happy in Jesus." The ejectrlc light went out and for a time lie audience was in the darkness of Egypt. While the lamps were being brought Prof. Sutherland began sing ing, "Shall We Gather at the River?" in which the entire congregation Join ed with fervor. When Rev. Lewis arose to speak tie said the singing of that eong brought to his memory the river where his father and mother were baptised, the spot he had visited not no long ago, and he was then remind ed of the river where all should gather in the great beyond. He etated that he was weak physically, nd that he needed the prayers of the thurch that his weakness might be ehanged to strength and that all might be helped. The subject of the theme for the evening was "The woman who was healed by the Savior after she had pent fortunes In trying to get cured by the physicians of her time." Rev. liewis drew a word picture of the stooped, wrinkled old lady who, he said, had just heard of the great re Tival which was going on in the city, conducted by one who was healing all manner of disease. He described the noene In her home when she told her daughters that she was going to try! this new physician, and the dis- j eouraglng words of the . daughters, I telling her it would be useless as she j bad tried so many and all had failed. ! He then told of the bustle and J activity of the young ladies In help-1 Ing their mother to get ready when! SOME DOINGS IN THE POLICEJUBT TODAY From Friday's Daily. Judge Archer's court was in ses sion for a short time this morning and Chief Rainey brought Earl Fogle son before the court, the young man found carrying concealed weapons end stopping at a house on the ave ue, and he was given a hearing. 1 After listening to the statement of! the officers. Judge Archer fined Fogleson $100, and suspended sen tence for twenty minutes to allow the defendant to get out of town. He said he could not get out in that time, but that he would go on the first train east, which was at 1:12. On this condition the sentence was sus pended and the defendant moved on. Another party who was thrown In Wednesday evening, John Anderson, taken as drunk and disorderly, was also brought over from the Jail and given $5 and costs. Anderson has been In the employ of the Burlington, working with the bridge gang, but began boozing last pay-day and has kept it up pretty much ever since.

HER- m nniui prou they found that she could not be dis suaded from going. The great throng which crowded about the Savior, and into which the invalid woman had to elbow her way, was portrayed to the interested listeners. The speaker here took occasion to rebuke dancing, by saying that If the spindle-legged dudes who dance could have been in that crowd they would have had all of the hugging they cared for. He then told of the woman think Ing if she could but touch the hem of the Savior's coat and be healed without anyone knowing it. she would do so. Rev. Lewis here stated that there were many people who would like to be Christians if they could do so without anyone knowing it. The speaker related the dramatic In cident of the Savior turning in the Jostling crowd and asking who had touched him, and of the surprise of the disciples at being thus inter rogated in such a jam as was there, as it seemed to them that It would be hard to determine who had not touched the Savior. But Jesus knew someone with faith In him had touch ed him for a purpose, and on making the inquiry, the woman made the public confession that she had touch ed his coat. Rev. Lewis stated that Jesus immediately received her into the church and that she was not re quired to go as a probationer, but that Jesus announced to her that "Thy faith hath made thee whole." The speaker then followed the woman back to her home and noted her changed life and her better treat ment of the members of the house hold, saying that she joyously told fcjer daughters about the Savior and his wonderful love. To illustrate the difference, the speaker told how dif ferently the Christian used his stock, and told of his brother-in-law, who noted that his horses took on flesh after he became a Christian because he used them kinder. Xot Guilty of Theft. John Richardson, arrested at Louisville, Nebraska, about three weeks ago, charged with having stolen a horse and buggy In which he was eloping, was released In county court Thursday morning. His father, now serving a thirty-day sentence In the county jail himself on a vag rancy charge, testified that he had sold the horse three days before his son made off with It and that his son was ignorant of the sale Omaha Bee. ERSTWHILE GENTLEMAN OF LEISURE CARRIES REVOLVER Earl Fogelson, an erstwhile gentle man of leisure, was Jailed last even ing on the charge of carrying con cealed weapons, having been dis ocvered at the home of some lady friends on Chicago avenue. Chief of Police Rainy and Night Policeman Henry Trout, In company with Sheriff Quinton, went to the premises, which has been under the ban for some time, and which the neighbors had made complaint of for the reason that young men had been seen going there late at night and leaving early In the morning, and rounded up the place, finding Fogelson there. Fogel son came out on the porch when the ofticers rapped for admission and followed them back Into the house when they went In, and after some words, In which Fogelson talked bock to the ofticers, he was made to stand and be searched, when the guV was found. He was brought to the Jail and locked up. Tomorrow, when the county attorney has a little time to do so, a complaint will be drawn and filed against the man and he will be given a hearing.

Cade gave an address at the High school this morning to the students on the subject of "Some Elements of Worth Necessary to Suc cess." In elaborating the subject Mr. Cade said in substance that it is everyone's duty to make the most of tluir bodily powers. That he had noted in considering the gnat men of the past that generally speaking they were men of strong physical powers. And it should be a part of the education to develop the physical as well as the mental and moral powers. The speaker gave the young men some good thoughts concerning the use of tobacco and stated that the use of this weed would Impede their physical and mental development. The use of the cigarette was especial ly condemned as a destroyer of men tal activity. The speaker had read from an article from the pen of the president of one of the leading col leges in the east, his observations of the effect of tobacco n the students of his college. And lirYerlably the user of the weed has a less chest capacity, less lung power, less bodily weight and shorter in stature than those students who did not use to bacco. With strong bodies Invariably went strong Intellects and strong reasoning powers, and It Is the duty to develop the mind to the very best advantage In order that the young man or young woman be fitted for the struggle of life after the school train ing Is done. Rev. Gade advised the students not to stop the mental and physical training with the High school course, but to enter a college and pursue the course, and thus further develop their powers. ST.

Shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr. L. C. Anderson, for years a Burlington employee, after reaching his home, suffered from an attack of lllnes, losing consciousness for several hours. The family physi cian was summoned at once and rendered medical assistance, but for a long time the patient did not seem to Improve and it was feared he would not recover. The stupor was thought to be caused from a hemor rhage of the brain, and his friends were exceedingly anxious about Mr. Anderson's condition. Mr. Anderson has been In the em ploy of the company for more than twenty-five years, and has been a faithful man at his work. His con stant application ha during the past two or three years, seemed a traln on his health.

Dr. Klster Informed the chief that he had already drawn a check and delivered It to Mr. II. R. Gerlng to bring to Plattsmouth, but that he would make a new ehock and 'phone Mr. Gerlng to destroy the check de livered to him. He then drew a check on tho lTnl tod States National bank for $40 In favor of the City of riatts niouth, and delivered It to the chief, who brought It to tho clerk here for Indorsement. City Clerk 11. G. Wurl declined to accept the check, as that was not what the cltavlon called for, nnd as there was no authority for col lecting the $25 occupation tax from R. M. Schlaes, Mr. Wurl would not accept the check, as he did not care to be mixed up In the litigation, should any arise. Chief Rainy there fore holds the check and will doubt less .do so until after the next meet ing of the city council. Dr. Elster called Mayor Sattler up last evening and Informed the mayor tiiat he had given the check for $40 and Inquired If that would settle the matter. , Mr. Sattler could not assure Dr. Elster that this would satisfy the council. A PLEA FOR THE PRO TECTION OF THE BIRDS With the approach of spring comes the question of protection to the birds, The robin Is coming to he ac knowledged as useful to the fruit grower and also to the gardener. Very early it is seen In' the gardens watching for and gathering grubs and other Insects. It arrests the de structive work of these pests and richly earns what toll It may take later from the cherry trees. It puts In full time and when one stops to watch the birds they are always found to be busy enatchlng the buga and worms from the ground. The robin eats a number of very destructive members of the caterpillar family. The June bug also finds a place on its bill of fare. An orchardist is authority for the statement that while the robin eats a goodly amount of fruit, more than one-half of it Is wild, and but little comparatively of the cultivated kinds. Considering the fact that they are among the early spring arrivals and stay until late in the fall they have a definite worth to tho fruit grower, the gardener and the farmer. Lincoln News.

MR. SOPER IIS OUT IN SUIT ATNEBRASKA CITY The case of J. C. KauU vs. SoiK-r, which has bom on trial In the dis ' rlt t court for three days, ended " phout noon yesterday when Judge Travis held that the case should be "Dismissed for want of equity," In other words, giving the decision to tho defendant. The ease arose over a buslne) controversy between Mr. Kautz and Mr. Soper over the management of the Eighth street studio. It was di vulged In the evidence that Sopor's coming to Nebraska City was at tho request of Kautz, who entered Into an agreement with him to furnish the gallery and allow Mr. Soper to run It on a percentage basis. ThU agreement smarted In. November, 1909. In July. 1910, after the studio showed a loss, Mr. Kautz demanded . possession, which was refused him by the defendant. It has been Intimated by the de fendant that the reason for the de mand for possession was because ho, Soper, was "getting the best of It" In the competition between the two studios. The taking of testimony occupied the court's attention for two days and almost equaled the record of the famous Sandwich Manufacturing company case, which ran for several days. Many amui.ing things marked t lit testimony, one statement having been made by a witness that the "taking of postcard and stamp pic tures Is considered unprofessional by the members of the craft," a fact which the public will probably be glad to know. The decision of the court leaves the Klghth street studio In the pos session of Mr. Soper, although the case may hea ppealed. The plulnllff, Mr. Kautz, was rep resented by Paul Jensen and I). W. Livingston; Plt.er & Hay ward ami Kdward Zlmnierer and K. F. Warren represented Mr. Soper, Nebraska City Press. Mr. and Mrs. Soper resided In Plattsmouth for a number of years and were highly respected by all our people for their many excellent qualities, Including business and social relations.
