UNITY LECTURES.
The Late Visit of Prof , 0 , D ,
1
B , Mills ,
A Brief Synopsis of His Two
Leoturea.
Prof. 0. D. B. Mills comes to Oma
ha every year with no flourish of
rnmpota , but gives to those who at-
end his lectures an Intellectual treat
accorded by few , if any lecturers who
visit this city. Mr. Mills lectured lu
Unity church Friday night In the
Jnlty lecture course , and agalnSun-
lay morning , the two lectures though
ach waa complete in Itself , in some
ort supplementing each other. The
irst was entitled , "Tho Beginning
nd Successive Stops In the Oommon
Arts , " the second , "Nature's Order
f Development and Mental Growth ,
i Attested by History. " The first
oalt mainly with the evolution of 1m-
ilomonta for war and domestic use ,
ho second with the development of
mental Ideas especially of religions
oncoptlons.
MAN NO ORIGINATOR.
"Man , " says Mr. Mills In the com
mon arts "originates nothing , ho hat
what nature supplies and then 1m-
> rovoa on his gifts. At first ho stlre
ho ground With a pointed stick , thot
lattonlng one end has a spade , thor
> endlng the handle has a hoe ; drag
; lng this hoe ho has a plow , to whlot
10 fastens the domesticated animals ,
the plow of to-day Is simply the bonl
stick Improved , The mill In whlcb
primitive man crushed his corn wm
nado of A hollow stone and a pootk
which nature provided , on this rudi
mplemont he has Improved until we
iavo the steam mill turning out hun
dreds of barrels of flour per day. In
the stone ago men counted by two's ,
then by three's , then by fives after the
fashion of the Romans , being unable
Lo get beyond the five digits on the
lands , then by tens using the digltt
on both hands , then by twenties using
land and feet , as did our ancestors
who counted by the score ,
IK RELIGION
man can at first form no conception ol
spirit ; the ghost has a body and In tht
next llfo needs food and clothes , and
oven to thla day certain people place
n the coffin wine , money and on the
jrave food ; that the fainting splrll
nay refresh Itself. In everything
about him primitive man Imagined t
3od to dwell , as he advanced hi
jlacod our God above the others Ii
the sky where like an oriental poten
tate ho dwelt , surrounded by a court
and needed an abundance of food , oi
that immense numbers of cattle wen
burned to provide for his needs. Onl ]
very slowly does the Idea of 'spirit ai
another thing from body become at
Idea which can bo realized , whethoi
ai affirmed of man or of God.
SLOWLY BUT SURELY
the higher and spiritual concepttoni
are replacing the material ideas of thi
past. Mr. Mills called attention t <
the fact that the old religious syatemi
occupied themselves largely with thi
other world , and speculations abon
everything but human nature. No *
man wai studying hlmaelt and hi
surrounding * ; M. Postenr had hanntoi
to their secret lair the. fell demons o
consumption , typhoid fever and othe
dlseasei , and by the aid of the ml
crosoopa bad found them and notoc
their origin , BO that man could not
protect himself against those inaldlou
enemies who filled the comotorle
with those who
DIED BEFORE THEIR TIME.
Mr. Mills Is no pessimist ; ho bo
llovos in evolution , is assured of i
constant progress , predicts a good tlmi
oomlug , not far away , where man shal
have learned to know himself and thi
laws which control his surroundings
ao that ho can control physloil am
social diseases , and poaoo , health am
prosperity shall reign every whore. Hi
makes of evolution a grand poem
most fascinating to study , and full o
promise for the future. After listen
ing to him ono feels proud of humani
ty and full of confidence In the pur
poses of God , to bring upon the oartl
A THUE EDEN ,
In the course of his lectures Mi
Mills called attention to .nany curlon
survival ? , among which ho placet
many beliefs and customs common Ii
the churches , and which ho proved ha
remained from the time when man tra
a naked , houseless barbarian. He als
related many legends and myths gatb
erod from the folk-lore of all pooploi
showing a wonderful research. On
from tne myths of the Maoris run
something aa follows : In the boglnnin
MOTHER EARTH AND FATHER SKY
dwelt almost In contact , so that th
cseaturos dwelling on the earth , hai

above the earth , and the creature

the father and mother mourned ovc
the separation ; the earth sighed , an
the sighs took the form of mists upc
the hillsides ;
THE SKY WKPT ,
and the tears falling on the oartl
were called by man dew-drops. Th
nursery tale of Rod Riding Hood wi
explained aa ono of the many fable
relating to the dawn ; night , the well

The brief notes which wo huvo boo

has condensed Into those lectures. A
ho presents the subject ovolutlo

W. S. McOLELLAN-
Deatb of a Prominent Young At
torney-Action of the Bar.
About a year ago a bright and
> romlslng young attorney came to
his city from Galena , Ills. , to prac-
lee at his profession and make a
name among the many who are sue-
essfnlly struggling for that object.
Ie waa talented , studious and popu-
ar with all who knew him.
It was a surprise to many when , s
ow days ago It WAS announced that he
waa very sick and his life In danger.
Us father , a ( prominent member ol
ho Illinois bar , together with hit
mother and the rest of the family ,
came to Omaha several daya ago tc
ittond the bed side of the sick man ,
So was for the past few daya nncon
scions and lingered so until yesterdaj
morning when ho died.
On the assembling of the dlatrlc
conrt , the attention of the jadgoacd
members of the bar was called to thi
death of ouo of their number , and ot
motion it wai resolved to adjoun
court at 12 o'clock until 0 a. in , Tuo *
day aa n mark of rospec
to the deceased. At noon un Informs
meeting of the bar waa hold and i
committee appointed to drafc suitable
resolutions.
The remains worn placed in a hand
some casket by Undertaker Jacobs
and were taken oa t on the aftornoor
rain , being accompanied to the trans
or by a number oi thu younger mom

ANIGHT ATTACK.
Bold Defense of a House Beset
Burglars.
A few nights ago a residence on Gas
street near Eighteenth waa the scon
of an oxoltlng midnight adventure
The first floor Is occupied by four la
dies , and among the boarders up otair
are four gentlemen , ono a Union Pa
cific man , a two hundred pounder
and another , an attache of the mill
tary department , there being also twi
or three ladlea and several children 01
the upper floor.
On the night in question , which wa
aoon after the raids by the masked bur
glow last week , ono of the ladies wai
awakened by a nolso which she at onci
supposed to bo some robber who wa
trying to get In the house. She gavi
the alarm and it was taken up am
eon rallied the entire foroo , In phan
torn uniform to a waking condition.
The Bounds continued , notwithatand
ing the nolso made by the beloagurei
garrison , and the ladles down stair
turned palo and awaited anxiously th
arrival of assistance from above , Sooi
they heard muffled foot-etepa on th
stairs and they felt that relief was a
hand. The four gentlemen were in
deed descending in solid column 01
the enemy. They reached the fee
of the stairs and it woo ovldon
that a grand rush waa t
be made , and so It was , but not o ;
the foes without. They careful !
looked the stair door , and then mad
a grand rash for the second floor. A
this point wo drop the curtain. Daj
light found the ladles below all allv
and well , aud discovered the fact thane
no burglars , but only the wind , h'a
caused the untoward and frightfi
alarm. Mum's the word.
THE POISONING CASE-
An Investigation Liable to beOrdera
by the Coroner.
The announcement In Saturday
BEE that Coroner Jacobs waa boin
mrgod to Investigate a cnno of allege
poisoning created no little excltemet
In the portion of town In which tli
parties reside.
It appears that rumor had circulate
the charge immediatolyaftorthe man'
death , so industriously that every or
know who was referred to. Th
friends of the widow and her no' '
husband began investigating the ma
ter and were very indignant , olaimlu
that the fact that two uble pnyslciani
Dr. Grossman and Dr. Hofi
man , Imd testified that th
death ifaa caused by how
disease onght to bo sufficient to qulu
the rumor. Ho wanted an Invosclgt
tlon but didn't know exactly how t
got at it , as the cost to the count
would bo RiOO or $400 and the
could not alford to pay for It. Th
analysts of the stomach alone wool
cost $150 , and arrests and ether form
alltlos bo required ,
Yesterday' afternoon both partlc
motin the coroner's office , the watchei
who had hoard the dying rain's asset
tlon and the two witnesses , moetln
the friends of the wife. When OJ
postulated with one Bald , "Well , w
know what we are talking about. "
It begins to look as if an inveatlgc
tion could yet bo ordered froi
necessity. Several strange stories c
courtship at the sick man's bedsldi
etc. , are told by the watohorn , whlol
coupled with the dying mun'o wordi
"I have been poisoned ; If I dlo h
this thing bo Investigated , " give th
case a pretty serious aspect to out
alders.

Of Earth at the Florence Oat-
Narrow Escape from a Great
Catastrophe ,
Oapt. J. P. Vincent , of the Flor
ence Cut-off , who waa in the city yeater-
lay , Informs us of a narrow escape
hey had out there Saturday noon from
a catastrophe that wonld have cost pro-
ably a score of Itves.
It waa at the noon hour and the men
lad all qnlt work and gone to camper
or dinner , the camp being altuated
right at the south end of the south cut
on the now Hue. At tWs tlmo2OOC
rards of earth fell from the top of the
illl sliding down 45 foot and covering
ho track in the center whore the men
lad been at work. Had the elide
occurred two hours earlier It
wonld nndonbtedly have burled
at leant twenty men in a living tomb ,
and they have great cause to congrat
ulate themselves on their escape.
This will necessitate a large amount
of additional work , and such is the
nature of the ground at this point
and also In the cut north of It that
ouch frtlli cf earth are very common
and greatly interfere with the cample-
ion of the work. Superintendent
tfurphy has a big force of men , and
10 will put things through in the beat
shape possible.
