"How Paul Would Feel About Omaha , ' ' wns the topic of Hov. Dr. 1' . S. Merrill's sermon prcmchoa nt the First Methodist church last evening. The doctor's text wns tnkon from Acts xvl , 17 : "Now , while Paul waited for thorn nt Athens , his spirit was stirred In turn when ho saw the city wholly given to Idolatry. " After tolling what Pnul saw nnd did dur ing his atop In Athens the doctor snld : "Imagine our sturdy old here of many ox- jilolts , the npostlo of the gentiles , swooping through the centuries of tlio Christian cm , until at lust ho stands with us in the cupola , of the civilization xvhoso foundations ho helped to lay , looking out upon the marvels of expanding Omnha. Wo toll him tlio story , not of 1COO years , but of loss than half n century. Wo relnto to him how the tents of wild men mid the paths of wild beasts have given way to a'sthotlu homes and paved streets , where llvo and tread well nigh 150,000 cultured , enterprising citizen * . iVo point not to a hoary monumental mental past , but to a wonder-working pres ent. Paul sees us standing hero In the wide gateway between the cast ana the west of this'mighty continent , bringing things to pass like magic. IIo scos how Intelligent , enterprising nnd prosperous wo are , nnd ho BOOS the things and the men that are to bo In this the midland city before it doubles its ngo.

"Paul Is not here , but you nnd I are horo. Wo know these thingswo ; have been led up to this pinnacle of vision. Could Columbus have Known the wealth and possibilities of the land wboso flowery shores ho touched in our southern waters , with whnt greater emotions of pride and Joy would ho have claimed It for liis king. As wo have the prophetic sight to behold the treasures locked up in our city's future may wo have the apostolic 'oal to pre empt , thorn for the King of Kings. "Kos'iub ' Chutider Sen , satro , thinker and hewltchinc orator of India , when ho saw the ( iplondors of Christian civilization marching with the trend of destiny upon the supersti tious systems of Asia , exclaimed with glowIng - Ing patriotism nnd lofty eloquence , "Nono but.leans , none but Jesus shall have India. ' His fatherland was too good for any other sovereign to possess. Poor Sen ! Ho fell in death before yet the Light of tht ! World had wholly eclipsed the Light of Asia in his own heart , but wo can not doubt that had ho lived on ho would hnvo played no small part m placing India in the , bosom of Jesus for n coin. "Whntof you and rnol The groatltcht that first dazzled then transfigured Saul ot Tarsus - is It not shining now for us ? Do wo love our Christ onougn , to desire this great city for his glory ? IJo wo love Omaha onouch to desire the great Christ for it ? If so , from this time forward , lot the slogan of our war on sin bo 'Omaha for Christ and Christ for Omnlm , ' nnd thus record our loyalty to both and avert the eternal sorrow of having Athens arlso with Tyro and Sodom to con demn us. " AM. OK NOTIIINR. Jmmci'Hluii tlin Only Trim Symbolism of lliirlul tvllli Christ. At the Calvary Baptist church last night Uov. S. E. Wllcox continued his sermons on "What Baptists Believe nnd Why. " Taking his text from Romans vl.,4 : "Wo were buried therefore with Him through baptism into death : that like as Christ wns raised from the dead through the glory of the I''nthor , so wo also might walk In the newness - ness of life , " ho said : Wo do not practice immersion only , be cause wo believe it to be a saving ordinance. If n man is not saved before ho is Immersed tbo moro act of immersion will do him no good , else all who have been Immersed and Imvo afterwards lived wicked lives would bo saved , and alt who have lived upright , godly lives , hut hnvo not been immersed , would bo lost. Wo do not prnctico immersion only , because it is the most convenient mode ns every body knows Just the opposite is true ; it is the most inconvoniont. Nor U It be cause wo would dcspiso the convictions of our brotliorn who do not ngreo with us. Wo bullovo that they nro sin cere , but sincerity does not always make a thing truo. I mny bollovo thnt a certain coin is gcnulno nud pass it off for such. My sincerity don't maUo the com good , though It mny nhsolvo mo from the guilt of passing counterfeit , monoy. There nre , no doubt , many persons in Baptist churches who could not give an Intelligent miswor to the question , "Why do you bellovo in immersion only ? " Hence these sermons. And I bollovo there are multitudes who could not intelligently answer the question , "Win- do you believe that sprinkling nnd pouring nro valid baptism ! " Wo bclievo in Immoralon omy because Christ was Immersed , nnd Christ said ; "Thus It becomoth us to fulfill all righteous , noss. " It was not because Christ had nny sins to confess thai IIo wns baptized , but as IIo said in another place : " 1 hnvo left you an oxnmplo thnt ye ithonld do us 1 have rtoiio. " How do we know thnt Christ was Immersed ? Because no other baptism will innko stinso hi the account given. Lot us ECO if this bo not truo. In Mattnow ill. , It ) , wo lay no stress upon "out of the water. " The Greek word means "from tlio water , " ns in the revised version. But If lie wns Im mersed Ho went up from the water. In Mnru I , , H-10 , the Greek says , as tlio Ameri can revisers say , IIo was baptized "into Jor dan , " nnd "camo up out of the water. " Without changing but one word wo will quote the verso three thnos and see which makes the best sense. i"And It came to pass In those days , that Jesus rnmo from Nnznroth loGnlilcuand was sprluklod of John Into Jordan , " "And U came to pass in ttmso dors , that .losus came from Nazsrothof Galileo'and was poured of John into Jordan. " "And it t-iiuio to pass in those days , that Jesus came from Nnznroth of Galileo nnd was Immersed of John Into Jordan , " Do you sco the point ) You can sprinkle or pour a man Into water. I stand by the now toatamont , and say "Jesus was immersed , " lionco wo follow his example. Because the Greek word means nothing Olso. To this agrco substantially nil lexi cographers , So much has bcon said on this point lately that extended remarks nro un called for. Surely the Greeks ought to know their own language. In the Greek church , the Greek ritual U used , ns in the Human Catholic , the Latin. Aloxnnuor do Htouod/a , itato councilor of the Greek cliurch , says : The verb "bnptizo" has but one solo accepta tion. It signifies literally nnd always to plunge. Baptism ami Immersion arn , there for , Identical ; ulid to say baptism by uspor- ilon ( sprinkling or pouring ) is as If one iliould say Immersion by aspersion , or any other absurdity of thu same nature. lloeauso the scholarship of tlio world sus tains us In our position. Let mo quote you from pedobaptlst scholars on this point , ( Presbyterian ) ICucUerman , Gorman theol ogy , volume III , chapter S , page any ; "Wo cannot cieny that the Just Institution of baptism consisted In Immoralon and not In t.

" Dr. Cunningham , Scotch , principal of St. Andrews , "Growth of the Church , " page 173.1880 ! "Baptism means immersion. The Hebrews Immersed their proselytes. The K scnos took their dally baths , .lohn plunged his penitents Into the Jordan. Peter dipped his crowd of converts into one ot the great pools which will bo found in Jerusalem. Unless it had been so Paul's ' analogical argu ment about our being hurled with Christ by baptism would have had uo meaning. Noth ing could hnvo boon simpler than baptism In Its first form. " Jew , Malmonldcs , the greatest theologian of the twelfth century : "Wherever In the law washing of the flesh Is mentioned It moans nothing else than the dipping of the whole body In a laver , for If n man dips limsolf all over except the tip of his little Ingor ho In still In his unclcnnnces. " Episcopalian Dean Stanley In "Nineteenth Century , " ISHI : "Tim change from Im mersion to sprinkling hai set aside the larger mrt of the apostolic language regarding japtlsm , nnd has altered the very meaning of the word. " Lutheran Prof. Hnrnnck in Now i'ork Independent , February 19 , 1SS.1) : " Baptize1 undoubtedly sienldos immersion. No proof can bo found that it signifies anything else n the new tcstnmont nnd In the most ancient Christian literature. " Catholic Dr. Doltingor , "Tho Church nnd the Churches , " page 33" , 1901 : "Tho Baptist losltlon is Incontrovertible from the ; 'rotestant standpoint , since they have the clear bible text for baptism. " I might extend these ouotatlons by the hour , until I had given you the testimony of moro than 800 ot tlio greatest Christian scholars of thofchurch , not one of them Baptists , sustaining us in our position. I have given you these that you may know what pcdobaplist scholars soy on our side of this controversy. Any lorm but Immersion destroys the sym- Jolism of baptism and renders the rite uso- oss. It symbolizes the death , burial nnd resurrection of Jesus Christ , and nlso our death and builal to nlifo of sin , nnd our resurrection to n new life , and these cannot Jo svmbolizcd uy sprinkling or pour- ng. So that Conybearo nnd Ilowson in their "Life ot St. Paul" well remark. : hat it is to bo rccroltod that the form of uaptism has been changed , as thoreoy n beautiful symbolism has boon destroyed , nnd wo Baptists say , if this bo so lot our pedo- bapllst friends change back to the original mode nnd so restore the symbolism , It is never too late to do right. The rite should bo restored to its original form mid meaning. J'hoso who love their Lord should bo lo.vnl to nil his commandment ? , and I bellovo that what Dr. II. S. McArthur says In n recent number of the Century Magazine U true , "Wlion Christian people meet in church mlon it will bo around the baptistry. " Or in the words of Dr. W.V. . F.vnrts , Jr. : "In the united church of the futuio this ordln- mco will bo restored toitsprcstino powernnd icauty. " Christians Invo found the "ono LorJ , " are searching for the "ono faith" and will then celebrate the "ono bnptltm.

WHERE DID IT OOP Mystery SurroiinilliiK the Disappearance of Trunmircr Paul's Cusli. "Tho defalcation of our county treasurer was ono of the most singular episodes of a financial nature 1 have over known of , " said n loading citizen of Hastings to a Bun man at the Pnxton yesterday. "It is n proat mys tery how Mr. Paul could squander so much money and make so little bhowofit. The shot-toco In his accounts is said to bo J.V..OOO , and here a few days ago it was learned that the receiver for the City National bank held Mr. Paul's personal notes for $14.000 representing money that Mr. Pnul baa borrowed from the ban u.

[ Special to THE Biil : The usual Sabbath serenity nt the state house was disturbed somowhnt by the unwonted activity In the adjutant general's office. Acting Quartermaster Holchklss was engaged nil day In making up for the secretary of war n detailed state ment of the strength of the several departments of the Nebraska national ; uard together with an estimate of the military strength of the state. The footings 'rom the report , which will bo mailed to Washington tonight , show that the aggre gate number of men enlisted Is Pol. The commissioned ofllccrs , not Including General Colby's ' staff , will bring this number up to ,002. In estimating the number of men iablo for military duly , Quartermaster Hotchkiss puts the proportion to the popula tion at 1 to 10. This would glvo to Nebraska something over 100,000 uiou lit for arduous nllltnry service. Although Adjutant General Cole and Quartermaster Hotchklsa deny that any com munlcatlou between Iho War department and themselves has taken place , It is certain that steps have been taken to meet nny emer gency that may arlso. A member of the gov- cruor's staff said this afternoon that tlio captain ot every company in the two regi ments had been unonlclally communicated with and from tlio replies received from them t is certain that a roclmont of from 1,000 to 1'JOO men could bo summoned inside of twenty-four hours. AVhoVnuld Command the lU' Imont. - If Nebraska will 1)3 permitted to partici pate In any expedition ngalnst Chili there would bo no little strife among the "military mou" of the state over the colonelcy. Colonel Bills of the Second regiment is the ranking odlcer under General Colby. Adjutant Gen eral Cole would like the place , but the state of his health will not permit htm to engage In so arduous an undertaking. Colonel Phillips ot Beatrice gives it out cold that ho would got the coveted place. Colonel Bob McKoynolds of the governor's staff is "all worked up" with enthusiasm nnd threatens to raise an independent regiment it ho is not permitted to command the Nebraska con tingent. The mou liitoly man for the place , however. Is Colonel Hotchkiss , acting quar termaster of the governor's staff. Xiitlonal CuiiriN Would ICnllst. Speaking of the Chilian complications , a prominent member of the Nebraska national guard , who was at the Capital hotel today , said : "If the present , imbroglio cannot bo settled without n resort to arms , tue cam paign against Chili would undoubtedly in- cluiw an expedition of 100,000 men. These troops would have to bo made up of volun teers , and each state In the union would bo called upon to furnish a certain quota. It is not likely that Nebraska woulil be called ution for moro than ono regiment. At the present time Nebraska has two regiments of national guards , nnd it is tolerably certain that any reslmciit uf troops that "might bo raised in the state for the Chilian expedition would bo largely madoupof national guards men. " Two .Moat Markets llurglnrlzcil. Two moat markets on South Ninth street were burglarized ntJ o'clock this morning.

Crossing the street to Charles AToight's they effected an entrance. A young fellow who sloops in the market was awakened and re lieved of $5 in cash. A hole was then drilled about an inch below the combination locic nnd an effort made to blow the door open. It failed , however , end the noise of the ex plosion aroused the neighborhood.

When ho sees labor wasted ho begins to puzzle out plans for sav ing it. When bo strikes an Ingenious ma chine bo sots to calculating how it may bo Improved. Few Yamioes have gene through lifo without devising some kind of Invention , although in most cases the device may have gene no further than the mind of the in ventor. The patent pQico nt Washington is the outr- growth of this national quality , It Is suoh a monument of multifarious Ingenuity ns is not to bo matched In the world. Its stores of plans and models are heaped up so lav ishly by the irrepressible genius of the na tion that the whole establishment might bo burned to the ground every five years , and each now building would bo overflowing in time for the next flro. Plainly , it can bo no light thing to keep nil this mass of business in order , "As ury as n patent ofllco report" has become u proverb. But these reports , extending through hun dreds of bulky volumes , contain the facts by whoso light every now application for n patent must bo decided. The parson who oxnects to bo of any assistance in facilitating the progress of a now iaea toward govern ment recognition must know ho\v to thread their dusty byways and uncover nil the old Ideas to which the now comer may boar a family resemblance. The Inventor can hardly ever do this. Kvcn if ho happens to bo a resident of Wash , inglon his familiarity with the details of patent ofllce procedure is rot likely to bo biifllclent to enable him to accomplish any thing foi himself , and If ho llvos ut a distance of course lie can do nothing. An attorney is always required. But uoi oven the pensioners have luffered more from the operations of unscrupulous at torneys than the Inventors. The average In ventor is uoor , and not accustomed to tbo technicalities of law or business. He wants a patent , and ho takes that term at its face value. To him a patent U a patept , neither moro nor less. ' IIo reads the advertisement or a plausible ngeiit who promises to got patent * In quick tlmo at low rates , payable only in case of suconss. Ho souds on his application nud in duo time Is gladdened by the receipt of an Iropreisivo document , carlshod with gilt seals and blue ribbons and announcing itself to te a patent. Aud so it U , but when the owner uuocr- * takes to rut ) his Invention on the market ho findi that ho has nothing to soil. The attorney bus saved him self trouble ( by.'putting In a claim covering only some oao trivial point nnd the patent granted on thstpoint li worthless as n pro tection to thorvstontial features of the Inven tion. An honoit ami capable attorney would have mnuo hiftlclkim as brgad ns possible ; ho would have .argUed every point with the examiners , ntid when ho finally obtained n patent It would h vo boon as valuable as the mortis of tbo Invention would permit , Tnr But ; Borcati of Claims Is not afraid of trouble. Contrary to its custom in land , Indian deprcd&llon and pension rasos It docs not take patent cases on qpntlpent feoj , nnd no other romitablo potent attorneys do. When an application is intrusted to It , It gives thosubjoctcareful and intolllccntstudy , and then files an Itemized claim covering ns many points ns can possibly bo found In the Invention. It nrguos ns many of these na may bo denied nnd In the end it secures a patent comprehensive enousli ; to hold Its own in the courts and In tbo money tiurkot.

[ Special to THE BKK.I McCook's herd of buffaloes continues to nttract attention , nnd nearly every day SOIEO of the passengers on No. 8 drive out to see this magnificent herd of America's famous animals , The herd consists of forty- three full blood bulTnloos nnd fifteen half blood or "catalo , " ns they have been nnmod by Buffalo Jones , thu owner of the hord. They nro ns geutle ns cattle , nud Mr. Jones has broken two teams to harness nnd Is now driving thorn to his buggy and Is proparlng to take his entire herd to Chicago during the World's exposition , by which tlmo the herd will bo Increased by about thirty buflnlo calves. Mr. Jones has purchased the six head formerly owned at Oxford and will remove them to McCoolt t onco. Ono of these last purchases killed the owner , D , C. Cole , nt Oxford , onlv a few weeks ago. C. J. Jonos. bettor known under the sobri quet ol Buflnlo Jones , came to Kansas in 1SOO from Blooiuington , 111. Ho was edu cated in the Woiloynn university nnd wn-j in the same class that Private Joe flfor graced bv his presence. In 18T1 ho took up n homestead In Osborno county and used to shoot buffalo from hissed sod house door. Ho became quite export with the rillo and many n tlmo acted as guide for parlies from the cast and from the old country. His charge for shooting buffalo for companies of frontier farmers that would cluu together nnd hunt buffalo for their hides was fiO cents , the price for the hides batng at that tlmo CJ apiece , and they were used for making into leather. The great onslaught on these uulmuls commenced in the spring of 'Tl and lasted until about ' 73. There must have been about ' 'O.OOU.OJO In 1S7I. but as soon as the hunting craze started in the buffaloes began rapidly to disappear. Ucalixlne that nt the rate the animnls wore being slaughtered it would only bo a matter of time , nud a short time at that , be fore the noblu uoast would become extinct , Buffalo Jonns used to "swear off" from hunt ; Ing them himself every now nnd then , but ns soon as ho would hoar the guns of other hunters blazing uway tbo temptation to take n hand in the sport himself was well-nigh ir resistible nnd his good resolution would bo scattered to the winds. That ho wns an ex port shot of rare ability may readily bo in ferred from the fact that on ono occasion ho killed seventy-two bulTulpos in one stand. This wns done while lying in nbuifalo wallow and they all fell on about two acres of ground. * These shooting expeditions were fraught with no little personal danger nnd n hunter had to bo constantly- tbo lookout for hos tile Indians. Many u time Buffalo Jones had an exciting und perilous job on hand stand ing off redskins with blurts nnd bullets nnd ho'invariably slept with ono eye open. Jones was mighty vigilant and never permitted the treacherous Indians to get the drop on him. Buffalo Jones had plenty of opportunities of observing the great mortality of native cattle from severe storms In Kansas , Nebraska braska , Colorado and Texas , but never saw any bulfalo perish from tills cause. IIo is of opinion that across with the buffalo is the only animal that would live on the plains and bo sustained by artificial food and he do- tKrminod to demonstrate this by nctuul ex periments. Ho also had u great desire to keep a few of the only animals peculiar to America , supposing that some day they would bring S100 each. Today they sell for as high as SI,000 apiece. Mr. Jones began catching buffalo calves in ISbG and went to the staked plains of Texas ana. there captured involve young calves , which ho endeavored to convoy to Kansas , feeding them on condensed milk , out was only ublo to save four , three of which nre now in the herd. In 1887 ho muuaarcd to save seven and in 'S3 ' succeeded in raising thirty- two of those cal ? cs ns lie took native cows along and the calves took Kindly to thorn. In 'S'J ' ho dotcriuimid to capture Hie last herd , comprising twen-.y old cows and seven calves. IIo did so , but all the old ones pined nwny and died , lie succeeded , however , in saving nil the calves and he now has forty-throe full bloods loft. In the spring fifteen cows will drop calves. When properly cared for these anneals propogato readily. Mr , Jones sold about seven ty-livo head of these cattle , sixteen of which went to Europa. Komo have been killed In the Wild West show nnd others died while being shipped in the railroad cars , and there are now only about seventy- five head loft in the United States all told. The demand in Europe will take all of them if something is not done by the government to preserve them. There are no gonulno old plain's ' buffalo loft in n wild stito. There nro n few moun tain bison in the National park , and from the best authority and personal inspection , Mr. Jones does not believe that there are to exceed sixty head there nud seven bead in Last Park. Colo. , and about twenty in ( ho British possessions. They nro a much smaller animal , with short legs and a short body , nnd have boon bred in nnd in until they nro what , would bo termed mullet heads. They inhabit tbo rouuhost cunyons and their young cannot bo captured By ordinary methods. The crossoi are n wonderful animal and generally : iroone-third larger than domestic animnls. They have beautiful fur , as handsome as u boaver's ' , and their moat is choico. They live on wild grasses nlono nnd kcop exceptionally Int. They have really turned out better than Buffalo Jones anticipated , nnd ho is perfectly satisfied with the result of his oxparimont , "Listed , " ns the broiten say.At " 100 doses one dollar , " Hood's Sarsnpadlla Is alwaysr fair equivalent for the nrico.

" Tlio article was bent in un- liollcitod , and WollI , who WHS horribly poor , watched hungrily for its appear ance. At length it wns published , and the gratilied journalist wal Iced down to the ollico to claim tlio $20 ( KOf ) ) , which ho had boon told was the regular roinnnor- ntion for articles of the description ho huil written. To his dismav , the cleric handed him $7.J50 ( ! ! 7f. KOc. ) . WolIT expostulated - postulated tvith the cashier and then lost his temper. Forgetting his empty pockets , ho declared that ho would rattier inuko Villoinossiuit tl'.o famous editor o ( the Figaro a present of his article than to accept so paltry a sum. OD returning to his lodgings , however , ho thought better of his resolution , IIo had nothing to oat , no money and little credit , and it was obviously to ills advantage to put his pride in Ins poccot. Accordingly ho sat down and wrote as follows to the publisher of the Figaro : Sir I have just been informed that nn impostor has presented himself at your ofllco and applied for the money duo to mo for my article ( H7f 80o ) , Of course ho thought the remuneration would bo 100 f , 1 do not I'nro myself how largo or small the honorarium is , for I lay greater utress upon the fact Powder Used in Millions of Homes 40 Years the Standard that my iirtielo wns ronsUlorod worthy of publication in your journl , That knowledge is more precious to mo thnn nil the treasure of the world.
