RAISING MONEY TO CARRY ON MISSIONS I'rrnrlioM Who llmo I.nliornl In HIP In terior of Itpnthcnilom Tiilk on the Work mill tin Needs Oninlm .Much Money , Every available slttloe in the First Bap tist church was occupied yesterday morning at 10:30 : , and the largo audlonco listened for nn hour nnd a half to Kov. John Ii Clough , D. D. , of Ongalo , India. Prior to the address by Dr. Cl&ugh the congregation engaged in n prayer mooting , led by Hov. A. W. ClarK , Ilev. E. N. Harris of Both Eden church presided , and after charming muMo by the choir nn Invocation was offered by Hov , G. C. Peck , A scripture lesson was road by Hov. T. Stcphcnson nnd Hov. S. E. Wllcox offered prayer. Dr. Clough was then Introduced by Uov. E. N. Harris. The famous missionary Is a man of medium height , stoutly built and In every word and movement n man of positive and forceful character. llrllelon In Indlii , Ho said the Hindoos were n very pollto people. They would put the Americans to hhaino In that particular. India has been the birthplace of two great religions BrahmanIsm - Ism and Buddhtsm-and 200,000,000 people bud been under the sway of those religions for centuries. Christianity had to fight Its way Inch by Inch against those idolatrous religions. The Hindoos are a bright , brainy and shrewd people , and they are not to bo easily persuaded to give up those forms of pover.imont and religion that have boon BO long molding tholr minds. When the Hindoos once become converted to Chris tianity they are usually aggressive nnd en thusiastic workers in the cause of Christ. "If the people of America don't look out , " laid Dr. Clough , "It will bo necessary for the Hindoo converts to come over to Now York nnd Chicago and possibly to Omaha and preach the gospel of Christ. It would tnt supilso mo much to BOO Hindoo mission aries preaching Christianity In this country before ton years. " I1U Own Kipeclill Fidel. Dr. Clough referred to the mission work nt Ongato , when ho first wont there twenty- six years ago. There were only twenty Hindoo converts at that tlmo at that mission. Now there are over 50,000 native Christians In that Immediate territory. The speaker recounted the difficulties and disappointments connected with the work. Ho snld the people were divided Into four distinct castes , and besides these there were what they called "no caste" people , comprising about , one-fifth of the entire pop ulation. Ho found that the aristocratic people ple did not want to have anything to do with missionaries who preached to or recognized the "no caste" people. Upon that point ho had gone through n very trying experience , but finally conquered tnc prejudices of the wealthy classes and all castes were becoming Christianized together. Ono Brahman priest came to Dr. Clough's tent , carrying all his idols , and wanted to trade them for a blblo. "Wo bad no trouble about making the swap , " said Dr. Clougb , "and ho Boon be came a Christian missionary. " AVhilt Ho Alms At. Dr. Clouch is malting n special effort to ' establish a'High school at thb Tolugu mis- i ston. It is the intention to raise a fund of fSO.OOO for this purpose. Mr. John D. Rock- cfellor , has already subscribed $25,000 toward , the ontorprisc and other subscriptions of smaller sums have boon secured. It Is the intention to educate the children of thq na tives so that -thoy will become practical living examples of what Christianity can defer for a people. Dr. Clougb called for subscrip tions fur this particular purpose and the con gregation responded liberally. At the afternoon session Bishop J. P. Newman presided before u largo audlonco. Music WHS furnished by the choir of .tho First Baptist church of Council Bluffs. Addresses were made by Hov. Joseph Clark of the Congo and Hov. J. E. Clough. African Miimlon Work. In bis address Mr , Clark related many In teresting stories of Africa , the customs ot the inhabitants and bow difficult It was to make them understand that they should be Christians. Ho said that funerals were hold with music , dancing , tbo boating of drums , and the participants or the attendants were dressed in holiday attire. They seemed to enjoy a death. Tbo speaker roforrcd to the moral laws of the Congo , wblch were "Thou shalt not steal from mo , " but that meant , ho said , a man might steal If ho could. Mr. Clark said that there was a space In the interior of Africa twenty times the size of the state of Wisconsin that had no mis sionaries. Ho thought the Christians of this country should send moro missionaries there and establish mission stations to educate the - savages and heathens. Rev. Mr. Clougb , In his address , said the poonlo of this country were very fortunate . to have boon born hero whore they had all the advantages of learning and knowing About religion and the Divine Being. Itulsed Coimldcrnblc'jloncv. "You are In debt to God , " ho sold , "and by Him you have boon blessed. Now , how much are you thankful for ) " Dr. Clough then talked of tho'IIIndoos and how they were converted to Christianity. When once they were changed they never wont back to their Idols. Last night Hev. W. E. Witter presided , While the First Baptist choir rendered the music. Aside from the scriptural reading bv Rev. S. E. Wilcox , two addresses were do- * llvorod. Ono was by Rev. W. Witter of Turn , Assam , nnd one by Rev. Joseph Clark. The missionaries succeeded In getting a considerable amount of money raised to go to Africa and India. MILITARY MATTEHJ3. IteniH < > f InturoNt to Soldier * Cutlictml front I'aprrs mill 1'oKtn. Speaking of the Indian soldiers , says the .Hank and File , an army officer Is quoted as iaylac ; "I have seen them drilling and know Just how It is done. Tbo eye serves them In getting the command of their superior oftl cor , and not tbo oar. The men In charge of those troops have 'caught on * to this sign Ian CUORO ; it answers their purpose and they are content. If It Is desired to give tbo command 'Fours rlcht , ' tbo lieutenant simply throws up four fingers , motions his hand toward the direction he wants the column to move , and It U done. Ono afternoon at drill I saw this movement gone through in a way that proved the Indians were more automatons and not reasonable men. The troop was being drilled u the time , and the lieutenant in charga knowing tbo peculiarity of tao men , asked ,010 to note the result of his command. Throwing his hands in the air and showing the number of lingers for 'fours right , ' the lieutenant shouted in a loud voice : 'Our Father who art in heaven , ' No evidence ol my comprehension of tbo words was visible In the faces of these 'soldlurt , ' but they went through with tbo movement t > f 'fours right' to a nicety.

ROBBED BY A SHREWD BLACKMAILER lie .lolnoil n Crc * to Hob n Tr.-iln mill They I'lmrgctl Him u ll mlMim < ! In- Itliitlon r < tiil : < irtR to Sup press the. Ne i For two days last week Sam Snydcr haunted the pollco station , but this tlmo lie was the i < ggrlovod party , contrary to the usual state of alTulrs. Samuel will bo readily rocognUed AS the proprietor of on auction Joint nt Eleventh and Fnrnnm street , who has boon arrested moro times than ho has lingers nnd toes for swindling people with more money thim brains out of their hard earned savings bv selling them the snidest kind of snldo jew elry on the representation that it was the genuine article. The property was Invaria- blv represented as nn unredeemed pledge , nnd the sad reverses of the once wealthy owner who was compelled by adversity to part with his precious treasures wcro always dwelt upon at length as explain ing why an alleged $150 watch could bo sold for $15. By dint of energy nnd hard rustling In his chosen line of operations , Mr. Snvder managed to accumulate a neat little pile and could show a respectable bank ac count , all of which was known to a former city detective , now In business on his own hook , nnd who frequently figured in the role of capper for the enterprising pawnbroker. Mr. fanvder Is also heels over head in love with the mighty dollar , which was also known to the aforesaid dotoctlvoand thereby depends this sad narrative. Mel n itlHii With n Scheme. Some four nights ago the dotcollvo called upon Mr. Snyder and told him In strict con fidence that there was a gang of train rob bers In the city and that they woio golnir to do a job that would paa out $20,000 or $30"iOOO. Ho also Informed Mr. Snyder that if ho so Unshed , ho ( Snyder ) could got In on the ground floor and assist In disposing of the swag. To Mr. Snydor's discredit nt the time and his present Intense grief , it must bo said that ho jumped at the chance like n pickerel at a minnow , but , for which ho would bo a richer man today , and this story would never have been written. Snyder was only too willing to go Into the scheme , nnd without a thought of the future except of the golden reward that ho expected It lo bring , he promptly delivered himself Into the hands of the Philistines , then nnd there represented by the detective aforesaid. Ho was led by tbo detective to a room , tbo location of which shall for tbo present roinnln a secret , and was there confronted by six masked men , who were Introduced to him as thu train robbers by whose operations ho ex pected to benefit. Ho Hello the Gout. Ho was glvoa to understand that ho must bo Initiated , and all through the night the In itiation coremouioinvoro continued. Snyder was made to take the most wonderful aiid hair curling oaths out ho stood tbo ordeal without a murmur braced up by the hope of future reward. Some time after day light the hidden trap was sprung. Snyder wns told that tie would have to contribute $3,000 for his membership In the gang. Sam protested , as only a man with an innate pen chant for money sould protest , that he hadn't a dollar on earth , but it was of no use. The game was too strong for him. Ho was given to understand that they knew that he had money on deposit at the Omaha National bank and that.hu must draw it out fur the benefit of the gang. Snyder was held a prisoner until the bank opened at 9 o'clock when hotwas taken under guard to go and draw the money. Throe of the robbers , forsuch.thpy proved to ba , only on a different scale from what the victim bad been led to believe , showed hutfo revolvers , while a-fourth exhibited a big bottlu of stuff that ho called dynamite , but which might have been an explosive or It might not , and told Snyder that If ho made n move other than as ho was directed , the bottle would bo dropped and Sammy's soul would bo wafted to the angels. Under these circumstances it Is not at all surprising that Mr. Snyder became In the custody of his captors as passive a- clay hi the hands of a moulder , and ho marched lo tbo bank like a little man , drew his check for < ii,100 , had it cashed and turned the money over to bis interesting acquain tances. This explains Mr. Snydor's many visits to tbo pollco station in tbo past forty-eight hours , pnd his pilgrimages up and down the streets looking eagerly but in vain to see if ho could not rccognizo some of his compan ions of that eventful night. Sc.ivey I'rofuflaun Ignorance. A BEE reporter Interrogated Chief Seavoy Saturday regarding tno case , but the chief professed utter Ignorance of anytnincr of the kind. Ho protested that ho hail heard nothing of a train robbing story , nnd when asked if Suyder had not called upon him replied evasively that Snyder was about the station a great don ) . ilo was asked if Snydcr bud not complained of being robbed , to which ho replied that ho had heard something of thu kind but know nothing about it. "But , chief. " persisted the reporter , "didn't you hoar that ho was compelled to draw on his bank account I" "Ob , 1 bellovo theio was something or the kind , " was the Impatient answer , "and 1 told htm to como back with his banU book nnd bo hasn't shown up slnco. " The chief then loft the room , only to reap pear a couple of minutes later with Mr. Snyder whom ho stood up against the railing with the remark that bo had Just como in with bis bankbook. "Now then , Sara , have you boon robbed I" demanded the chief. Sam denied that ho had suffered in any such manner. The chief then nskod who bad boon circulating any such stories , and Sam protested that , ho knew nothing about It.
