Dr. Smith , of llaltiniorc , Mil , , would preach at the exposition building on Sunday morning drew a largo crowd to tlmt building. Dr. Smith is the minister upon whom has boon conferred the honor of moderator of the assem bly. There wore upwards of 2,000 people assembled. After tlio organ voluntary the quartette choir Bang the anthnra , "Groat and Marvel lous. " Dr. L. Merrill Miller , of Oirdons- burg , N. Y. . invoked the blessing and Ir. W. E. Moore , permanent secretary of the assembly , roiul the bible lesson Irom Dout. xxxiii and part of Hov. xxi. Prayer followed by Dr. J. G. Monfort , of Cincinnati , O. The congregation joined the choir in singing "Guide Me , Oh Thou Great Jehovah ; " and while a col lection was being taken up the choir sang the anthem , "Sing Hallelujah. " Dr. Smith arose and gave as his text , Deut. xxxiiiilO/'Tho good will of Him that dwelt in the bush. " Tlio speaker nar rated the story of Moses' talk with God appearing in the burning bush , tracing to God all the blessings that the people of the present ago enjoy , as did the people ple of Israel enjoy. Tho'etoctor's similes nnd figures of speech were beautiful and his discourse sparkled with gems of thought. Ho spoke of the wonders of nature the electrical currents of the ethereal sea the rainbow , the clouds , the panorama of the sky , as the unco- less gifts of the Almighty ; of the uow "tho baptism of the clonus ; " of the para dox scon in tlio operation of nature the parable of the dew and the dec ) ) ; of the glorious gifts to man of the fruits of the earth "the golden children of the sun ; * ' of the influence of the moon "tho precious things brought fortli by the sun and nurtured by the moon ; " of the countless stores of riches In the earth the gold and silver and Iron "tho continents of coal nnd the oceans of oil1' the quarries of limestone and marble "tho wealth of the lasting lulls and the everlasting mountains" of the earth and the fullness thereof the "ever burning candles 01 the sky , " and the unfailing supply of earth's treasures ; the riches of the sea and the treasures of the deep. The consummation of all things was the "good will of Him who dwelt in the bush. " Love was moro thaa precious stones. What were all things of the earth , earthy , compared to the good will of the Father ? The presenceof God could lonfy a bramble bush , could turn the § csolatlon of the desert or the sollludo of a wilderness into the heritage of thn saints. The love of God was the choicest treasure of the human heart. Happiness was a thing of the earth. Friends parsed nway , hopes faded , plans failed. Uless- cdncss was from above. The benediction of Him above was the only lasting herit age of the good. The blessings of the lather seemed to rest on this land in its growth , development and prosperity. it appeared as if the Lord had kept America hidden from the peoples of the earth until lln should have raised up a race to inhabit it. God's mercies to this land of ours were beyond computation in the dovevelopments of its resources , the discovering of now riches , the strengthening of its powers. AY hat was all this without the good will of "Him who dwelt in the bush ? " Southwest Presbyterian Chnrch. Roy. Thomas C. Hall , formerly pastor of this church and now of Chicago , preached last evening in the pulpit which he had raised himself , taking his text from Exodus xxx:15 : , "If Thy pres ence go not up with us , carry us not up banco. " When the church is flattered and pros perous , when the world is inclined to gently patronize her , wo must bu on our guard. Church lifo must bo a lifo of contest. Her very existence is a protest , and only in three ways may that protest bo stilied. The world may put the foot on the church's ncck.and the voice may bo stilled in deaththo church may sleepand , sleeping , die ; or the world mity and must perish m tlio contest with tin army led by our triumphant Redeemer. This is the only peace God can .sanction. The Christian temple of Janus must never bo closed. The weapons chacga from age to age , but I thank God for every chal lenge to the church , for God lias never failed to raise a champion to war for righteousness nnd truth. Wo go up to the contest , pray to God wo go not alone. Open violence , sin , drunkenness , gamblinc must bo fought , belt-interest , passion , lust are all on that side. 'Wo cannot standalone. We cannot change Bum's hearts. Have you a struggle ? Struggle not alone. You cannot con quer alone. If God go not with you , pray Ho carry you not up lionco. I am never afraid of an open combat , I am , of a dying church. Do not believe that the danger is without. It is within. It was not publicans and Sadducces , but respectable , orthodox , purso-proud , ac tive Pharisees. God must be with us. making us humble , strong and of good courage. We uro all going up into the battle of life. Do you go alone ? Are you facing that battle of life without the cross ? Why call it the battle of lifo ? It is the battle of lifo , of death and of eternity. Parents , do you send your children alone into that contest ? You oannot go with them. The grave alone makes that impossible , but oven hero you cannot lully go with them. Only ono power can keep them. The memory of your God , your Jehovah , aye , the knowl edge of that Htirun Savior can , will keep them. Pray that they go not alone , but with God and Jesus into the everlasting home of our God. In Christ you will find all that you need. In Him , you will have peace. If llo is not your God , go this uight to Him in prayer and cry , ' -11 thou. Oh , Jehovah , go not with mo , carry mo not up houce. " North Presbyterian. Dr. Marquis , the late moderator preached at this church , whoso text was ; "And when Jesus saw that ho answered discretely , Ho said unto him : Thou art not far from the kingdom of God' . ' Mark xii , 84. Jesus was standing between two liros , The Pharisees were plying him will questions on the ono baud , and the Sad < ducces on the other. The first Ho s l : v enccd by that remarkable utterance defining fining Christian duty toward human EOV * rV crnment : "Render to Ciusar the thing : t i. that are Ca'sar's , and to God the thing : I. t that are God's. " The latter Ho silencet with an answer that exposed both theii ignorance and their unbelief. An interested listener to these discus sions was a fair-minded unprojiulicci Scribe , with a question of hU own whicl ; led him to asK : "Which is the lirst com uiandmout of all ? " The man though that Jesus would probably niiswui tbo question in snob a way a ! to prore lumsnlf a sectarian lint the answer of Jesus showed such ar insltiht Into the deeper spirits of the law that the Scribe didn't hesitate for a mo nicnt In giving his hcartv approval. Like an honest man ho confessed the truth and also that his intellect partly understood the real bible religion. Jesus at once recognized ono whoso mind was enlightened and judgment convinced , while nothing was lacking but the sur render of the licart , and said. "Thou are not far from the kingdom of God. " There arc some hi every generation who live upon the bordor. incii who have been educated in bible knowledge and have learned to look deeper than the mere outward routine of religious duty. Men who extol the beauty of the bible ; who confess its obligations ; who sin cerely dcsiro to see true gospel obcdionco m.i'lo ' practical in the lives of all. Of such , it may bo said : "Thou are not far from the kingdom of God. " The character Is not imaginary. I don't mean the man who constantly measures the'short-comings of Christians , I am not speaking of the man or woman , who dreams over the Christian religion as a Kind of moral Utopia beautiful to think about , but never yet realized. Hut I mean that man who has a sincere1 appreciation of the excellence of the religion of the biblo. He has nodoubl of its divine origin , llo admires its spirit. Ha tries to rcgulato his lifo by its moral precepts. He believes that a genuine pro fession of Christianity must involve lov- ingGod supremely and loving one's neigh bor as himself. Hut ho knows that ho doesn't love God supremely , and there fore he won't make the profession. That is the man who is treading the border laud , neglecting to take the one stop iuto the kingdom , ills knowledge is correct. His conception is true. Let it become practical. Love cannot bn forced , it cannot bo bought or sold. I might bo a poor pen niless outcast , helpless , wretched , down in the gutter and perishing in shame. If the C/nr of all the Russias should then say , "I command you to love mo , " I could not do it. 'I ho heir of all the Rothschilds might say , "All my wealth will I give if you will but love me : " nnd 1 could not do it. But some good Samari tan who would tuka my baud and call mo brother , might bind mo to him with such cords of love that I would die for him. Aud should ho prove a prince , who de scended to my level that ho might lift mo up , no command would bo necessary. I would bo the veriest ingruto if 1 did not love him. Here , then , is the motive to surrender. God commendeth his love toward us in that while wo were yet sin ners Christ died for us. Stranger I'renctiorfl. in all the Presbyterian pulpits of the city yesterday strange speakers took the place ot the regular pastors , aud in every instance were listened to by largo and wcll-pleas'cd audiences. First U. I * . Church. A medium-sized audience was present nt this church on Eighteenth street , of which the Rev. E. li. Graham is pastor , during the morning services. The Rov. Dr. R. 11. Richardson , of Trenton , N. J. , preached. He chose for his text Mathew xxv : 29 : "For to everyone that hath shall bo giyon , and ho shall have abund ance. " The central idea of the speaker's re marks was that use and exercise promote prosperity , no mattcc. in what laudable channel they wore. His sermon was re plete with apt illustrations. Ho said that the exorcise of the functions of the body produced health and strength ; the use of money produced wealth ; the use of the mind produced mental power and the exercises of God- given graces produced mental strength. The apt illustrations of Rov. Dr. Richard son completely captivated his : mdiencc. llo cannot be called an eloquent man , bftt is excelled by few ulpit speakers for keen and pithy language. In the evening Rev. A. Mitchell preached to a largo audience at this church. C'astollar Street Chnrch. The Rov. H. D. Ganso , of Chicago , secretary - rotary of the board of aid for colleges , occupied the pulpit in this church during the morning services. He is one of the most eloquent of all the Presbyterian divines now visiting the city. In addi tion to his regular sermon ho made a short and exceedingly happy address to the children. His text was from Matthew xxv : 15. "Straightway took his journey etc. " The speaker said that , after God had imparted to men tlio talents they possess Ho , in a manner , withdrew Himself from thorn and gave them an oppor tunity to work out thpir own career. Ho did not withdraw His counsel nor His spirit , but left them the bible and His holy spirit to guide their weak natures and protect thorn from temptation. The reverend speaker showed that man would in realiiy , bo a moro machine of God , stayed with him and governed him in every way and meted out punishment on the commission of crime , llo said there were two kinds of employers in this world , those who watched over their clerks with suspicion and distrust and who wore constantly treating them like machines , so that they could not net or think for themselves. The others are the men who toll their employes just what they want or expect of them , de pending on their honesty and manhood to carry out their plans. This was tbo way God treated man. Man was left to act in a manner according to his own free will having , of course , to take the consequences of his own evil acts. The only proper course was loyalty to God. This freedom gave an oppor tunity for God to worR out His plan of redemption. The rovorcnd speaker indulged in several strong illustrations from mechanical and phjHical sources , and closed with words of encouragement to those who are already Christians to stand by the cross and words of appeal to these not already in the fold to como to Christ. Among these present were the Rov. Mr. Rankin. of the Presbyterian assembly , and wife , al though the former took no part in the services. Rov. I. N. Hays had been se lected for the evening discourse , but the Rov. Dr. Irvine , secretary of the board of Missions , was substituted for him. , The latter delivered an eloquent and instruct ive sermon on "Homo Missions. " First M. K. Chnrch ? Rev. W. A. Barr , of Detroit , preached at this church , taking his test from Hebrews - brows xii : 9. The faith of the gospel is a personal faith , i. o. ; it is , at its heart , a transaction between persons. It is exorcised by a person and towards a person , distinct ttnd definite. To lose sight of this idea is always to weaken the gospel. Faith , whether considered as a belief in God's fatherhood , a realisation of the invisible , confidence in God's care , etc. , finds its meaning only in the personal Christ. The Christian faith , considered as an objective reality , has Christ for its beginning - ginning and and , for its sum and sub- bianco. Christ is faith's argument. Infidelity may talk about the course of nature , the impossibility of miracles ; may quibble about the authorship of the sacred books etc. , but above all this the voice of Jesti : falls on the ear with the same peacofu power , "Como unto Mo and I will give you rest. " Christ is Himself the perfect , real miracle. The so-called order of na ture has bcon violated since a perfect man has lived on the earth. The moro wo study this character , which is not ono frva from sin , but from all traces of a sinful consciousness or sense of mistake aud failure , the more certain wo become that His explanation' of it aU is the only possible ono namely , that Ho came clown from heaven. Christ is faith's object Emerson corn plains that historic Christianity "dwells with noxious exaggeration aboutthe , per on of Jesus.11 Yes , and just this explains ts progress and power. Woo bo to the church when she ceases to dwell on the person of Jesus , for then she will bo horn of her power. Christ is the pledge of the final triumph > f the faith. Our conviction does not lie n the adaptation of this faith to human iced , though wo deem that perfect , but Christ has said it and tlmt is enough. May wo stand with Him in Zlon ut last and share in that blessed victory. Park Aronuo U. P. Church. A large audience greeted the Rev. T. ' \ Cortelyou at the morning soryloo at his church. Ho is from Montgomery , Jhlo , and quito an eloquent speaker. The pastor , Rov. J. A. Henderson , was n attendance. The reverend speaker ook his text from Hebrews vii : 25. ' \Vhorcforo ho is able also to save to the uttermost all thorn that como unto God , etc. " The main points of the sermon wore the subject of salvation as a deliverance - anco from condemnation , from the cor ruption of sin , from physical death by resurrection. "Salvation to the utter most" signified salvation to all classes of nen , to men of all ages , mon of all na- ions and of all times. The speaker dwelt mrlicularly on the manner in which porous ous gained salvation by coining to God , vho was a living and not a dead Savior , ilon who saw the errors of their ways ind came to Him never dio. Mr. Cortelyou is a lino-appearing ; entloman and for twenty-live years has > con pastor of the same church. In the evening , Rov. F. J , Collier spoke o a largo audience and kept up the gen eral interest of the day's services by his eloquence. One Million Dollars.

Young to Take His Own Life , A SHOCKING--SlJjNDAY ' SUICIDE. - The Brother Interfered nnrt She Drnko tlio Bnfcaedihoiit Drowning Fatality NBrtrf Mlllnrd The Omnha am } Yankton. Ho Was Disappointed In Lovo. Three WCCK3 ago August 1'ounj ? bought ho was jilted. Since that tituo 10 has boon drinking. This morning holes los in tlio morgue , with a ballot In his ) rain. The persons who worn in the residence of J. Walker , No. 1111 Chicago street , at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon wore startled by a pistol shot. In his room , oil the ( Irst lloor of the house , sitting n a chair and with his head against the side of an open window , a .voting man was found with a bullet hole in the very center of his forehead , from which blood was gushing and spurting upon the wood work and running down to a gory pool upon the floor. At his side , dropped [ rom a nerveless hand , was a pistol of thirty-eight calibre , ouo chamber empty uid the barrel warm. Dra. Simons , Brown and Webber were called by the observers of the tragedy and gnvo tlio wounded man such attori- ; ion as was possible. They did not probe for the bullet , as it was conceded by all to bo unnecessary. The shot was fatal , and whllo the victim might maintain ani mation for two hours or twenty-four hours , death was inevitable. Henortorial inquiry , r short time alter the shooting , developed the following in formation : The young man was August Young , twenty-three years old , a horse collar maker , employed by the Omaha Saddle company , a native of Louisville , Ivy. , and a resident of Omaha since Feb ruary 1 , 1887. Ho had a love affair in St. Joseph , from which city ho carao hero. The name of tin young woman was Mary VVingestcr. They had been engaged to bo married. When Young came hero it was with the intention of earning money enough to rent a house , buy furniture and pay the expenses of a wedding. Ho worked faithfully until three weeks ago. Just before that ho told Mrs. Walker that ho would soon got married , and asked her If she would attend his wedding. About this time , or on April 20 , ho received a letter from Mary Wingester which was substantially as follows , and introduced ' " by'DearGus" : "I bcliovo you , of course , when you say you don't know any girl there to speak to. I have gone to work and haven't seen any , of , the folks for along time. I don't want , to , cither , because every time I go home they have so much talk to ranke. 1 vVuut you to come back hero. I am lonesome without you. You ought to bo here now and see how all the young folks are getting married. 1 send you my best love. " ' ' Yet. after such a letter as that , which one blind could scq .through , the man who is lyjng stark nn < l still' in the collin to-day with the brand of suicide upon his brow permitted something to come be tween him and ttiftt girl ; for , but a few days later , ho was missed at the work shop and was found to be drinking heavily. Ho would i appear at his lodg ing house very late at night or not at all. \Vnen he did come-in it was to arise early in the morning ant ! go out before any one , except his room mate , saw him. During- the first week of his spree ho Trent to Mrs. Walker , apologized for his conduct , and told'her that every thing was off between him and his sweet heart , that he would never marry her now , and that ho had become diacouraged and was drinking on that account. He announced that no would sober up and did so for a day ; and then he wont at it again. During the past week he told his room companion , Reginald Hurry , that hehad ; bought a revolver and expected to meet the brother ofahis intended , and if he did see him hero in Omaha ho would kill him , as he had separated them. On Saturday night Young oamo in late. Yesterday morning ho rose early but did not , as usual , go out to drink. Ho re mained about the house until noon and , with his companion , then went out and drank several glasses of beer. Ho did not drink heavily , however , and at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon returned to the house , speaking very pleasantly to Mrs. Walker whom ho met in the hall. The next that was known of him was when he was found just after the shot was lirca. A largo crowd gathered nround the house , 1411 Chicago street , last evening. Among them were soveial Knights of Labor , and when it was learned that the dying man was a member of that order they took an interest in his affairs , tele graphing to his people in Louisville and seeing that he received proper attend- anco. Young died at 0:30 : o'clock. Acting Coroner Maul impanneled as jurymen J. H. Standevcn , Moses Sturman , W. K. Wittinghani , Albert K Church and C. W. Baker. The witnesses were J. Walker , J. M. Baker , A. C. Cross , Theodore Wagoner , Dr. H. K.Webber and Reginald Hurry. The testimony developed nothing of material nature in addition to the in formation presented above. A package of letters was , however , taken possession of by the coroner , which showed that the girl 'in St.Joscph.because of whom Young became despondent , was just like any other girl who was in Jove , a little jealous and inclined to chldo him with being attentive to another girl. But the fact that she had loft her homo and gone to work and that sue wanted him to re turn to St. Joseph , ought to have shown him that all ho had to do was to write her to como and she would have been in Omaha on the firat .train. There were letters , too , from "Annio , " a young lady of St. Josephron Ronick street , between Fifth and ; Sixth streets , south of the union dopotwho addressed him as "dear Gns' ' and declared herself his "until death , " and n'rom Miss Mary Ooort , on Ohio strcot , between Ninth and Tenth streets , Qmney , 111. , who had indited him numerous and tender mis sives. It is quite apparent that Augustus was something of a.lady catcher , despite the fact that he waSloolish enough to go on a three weeks' high lonesome and end it by taking the pistol route to the un knowable and vaguely dreaded future. The remains will txi'hold ' to await the wishes of his relatives ; in Louisville In the ame roonv'TChoro Young killed himself yesterday a , ) man attempted suicide a year ago. _ Ho was a room m.tto of Frank Wallace , , but ills name is for gotten because ho recovered , and now is Heartily ashamed of his deed. THE OMAIiAV rA.XKTOX. Reinforcements to the Delegation lit Favor of the Road. The Yankton and Wayne delegations who arc hero urging upon the board of trade andbusiness men generally the ad visability of putting up $250,000 bonus to help toward the construction of a railroad from Omaha to Yankton , received rein forcements yesterday and expect a full score more to-day. Of those who have arrived , Commodore S. B. Coulson , of "Dacota , " 'as ho registered atthePaxton , is the moat prominent. The commodore has the privilege of spelling Dacota any way he likes , as be } a one pf the arriving pioneers into that great wheat and corn growing timplrd of agriculture fertility nnd wont from north to south among the dangerous snags of the Missouri river before a boat load of provisions for the Black Hills was ever landed at Pierre , and before Bis marck was more than an Indian trading point. Still the commodore looks young and fat , and talks with as much lliicncy as over. Ho said to a UKK reporter last night tUat the objects Yankton had in pushing this project were to got goods from Omaha insteado ( Chicago ; and to give southern Dakota a direct connection with Galvcston nnd the gulf. Ho expa tiated quite entertainingly upon the ad vantages Omaha would receive by the now artery , and owned up that Yankton oxpccted a wagon brldgo to bo built across the Missouri in connection with the railroad structure , thereby giv ing to Yankton a tributary local trade , which heretofore it could not reach. It was stated by Major Hanson , of the Yanktou delegation , that all the business men they had seen yesterday wore favor able to the protect and several had prom ised to help It iinanclally. Incidentally , Commodore Coulson stated that boating was very active on the lower Missouri , and all his steamers are busily engaged. Ho regards boating on the upper Missouri as ended. The whole oulsido delegation will moot with the board of trade to-morrow oven- ing. DROWNED. A Water Futility Reported From Mlllard.

For fear of loosing a day's work , many persons nut off taking physio until Sat- .irday. The bettor plan is to not delay but take it as soon as needed , it may save you a hard spell of sickness.

Their action on the liver and bowels arc thorough , they give a freshness , tone and vigor to the whole system and act in harmony with nature. Crazier Than the Other One. The patrol wagon was called to a build ing in the middle of the Douglas street jlocU between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets last evening by a painter who stated that Ids room mate intended to cut liis throat with a razor. The supposedly contemplative suicide was found sitting at an open window complacently sucking a cob pipe and was as much surprised as a man could well bo at the ollicial visit which was made him. The officers con cluded that the man who said the other one was crazy was crax.y himself and threatened him with incarceration if he played a like hick on them again. Risks on the Road. C. S. Higgins and his son had a nar row escape from a serious accident yes terday afternoon on Sherman avenue. Just before reaching the pavement , as the team were moving at a lively gait , the axle of one of the wheels broke. Both were thrown out and the team , spirited bays , sprang away in fright. Mr. Higgins was dragged some distance holding to the roins. Ho succeeded in stopping the horses but lost the skin from one forearm and was somewhat bruised. The boy was also hurt but not seriously. There are many cheap cosmetics of fered for sale , which claim to contain nothing injurious to the skin. This is all bosh , all , or very nearly all arc com pounded from the most deleterious and poisonous drugs in the matoria mcdlca. They destroy the vitality of the skin , making the consumer prematurely with ered and old. J. A. Po/zonl guarantees his medicated complexion powder en tirely free from all injurious matter , and will gladly pay 500 to any practical chemist who can find upon analysis the slightest trace of white lead orarsenic.- Use none other and you will never regret.
