Congregation * .
The regular monthly mooting of the Omaha
Ministerial association yesterday at the
ICountzA Memorial Lutheran church proved
to bo ono of more than ordinary Interest.
The discussions that arose there will prob-
nbly culminate in some earnest work In the
direction of Improving tbo morals of Omaha.
Dr. W. J. Harsha read the pnpor of the
session. The subject was.uTho Homtlectlo
Use of Lltcroturo. " Dr. Harsh a took up the
question ot how and In what way
literature could assist the preacher In effect
ive sermon making. Ho took the ground
that a minister should devote a good dual of
tlmo to the reading of good , secular litera
ture. Ho held that the careful reader could
llnd in history , biography , poetry nml the
bettor grades of fiction much that would
nssUt in presenting blblo truth , A great
deal depended upon how things were put and
In good literature there were apt and lilting
Illustrations for every text that one wight
tolcct. ,
Dr. Harshasatd that It was pretty late in
the history ot tbo world for men to talk about
Doing original. About the host that the
nvorngo man could do now was to "take the
old lamps In the religious temple , fill them
with new oil and sot them ablnzo. "
Speaking of the use of stock stories Dr.
Harsha said that ministers sometimes re-
vnmpod or reconstructed them tollttho time
and place where thov were used. Ho
thought that n certain license should bo
granted so long as the opcakor did not abso
lutely contradict facts or misapply the
lesson that the story tended to Illus
trate. Ho was opposed , however , to
the custom that prevailed umong
lomo ministers of localizing and warping
old stories out of all reasonable shape In
order to llnd an alleged illustration of what
they were trying to explain , Ho referred to
B minister that ho had known who tool < the
old story about tbo man hiring n poor tr.unp
to carry n i > llo of rocks from ono side of the
lawn to another and then back again. The
tramp , according to the story , became ludig-
naut and threw up the job because ho could
ice no sense in that sort of work , tn
this instance the story was
used * to illustrate the manliness
of the toiler. Ho wanted to do something
that would bo of some benefit to his employer.
This pleased the rich man and ho pave the
poor teller his daughter to wife , as a reward
for Ills manliness.
At another tlmo the same story was told by
the same minister , but the man who carried
the heap of rocks did not rebel against the
character of the work. Ho tolled on cheer-
riilly , lugging the stones from ono part of the
premises to another , as directed by his em
ployer , without the slightest Indication tn his
face or manner that ho doubted the piofit-
nbleness of the operation. The gentleman
gave the tramp u permanent position be
cause he was so submissive. The story was
employed in this instance to illustrate abso
lute obedience.
Dr. Harsha thought that good Illustrations
taken from actual life or history or oven par-
iblo wore verv effective , but the truth should
not bo fractured to make a story fit a case.
DlscilHSL'd thn Puprr.
The discussion that followed was very
brisk and interesting.
Dr. Merrill lined the pnpcrjnnd agreed with
Dr. Harsha in the main.
Dr. Thnln believed In delving into litera
ture. Pnoplo co'uld not bo attracted by min
isters In this ngo who did not read good liter
ature and keep abreast with the age. He
had found in somoof Gcorgo Eliot's writings
Homo very effective and helpful illustrations.
In Hawthorne's "Tho Celestial Hallway" ho
had found a very brilliant and powerful"train
of thought. Ho liked the poets. They pre
sented the rarest thoughts in the rarest
forms and were very helpful to the minister.
Itnv. Mr. Hodgotts thought that literature
\vas all right In its place , but it should not be
permitted to crowd out the gospel truth of
the sermon.
Hev. Mr. Turkic believed in reading all the
choice literature possible and galling good
illustrations aud effective truths wherever
they were to bo had.
Dr. Williamson thought that ministers
nhould bo careful about repeating old thread
bare stories in the pulpit , for It tempted the
bovs In the back seats to yell "chestnuts. "
Kov. Messrs. Sterling , Wilson , Ivuhns
and others lined the idea of general reading
of good literature.
Hoy. Harris thought that ministers should
make good literature a part of themselves , so
that they would not appear to parade their
learning by quoting eminent authorities. It
should bo a matter of personal knowledge
and personal conviction rathur than Homo-
thing cribbed for special occasions.
Dr. Duryea believed In deep and wide
reading of good current literature , of
history , science and philosophy. Ho
did not llko to ECO a man who
resembled a crazy quilt , made of patches , but
ho admired the man made of whole cloth ,
who had n deep , wide conception of historical
facts and of great literary productions. Ho
thought a minister should road for the sane
of the good things ho could learn not simply
to exhibit hla acquirements to his audience
on Sunday.
Thu Conference .Mutter.
And then the business of furnishing enter
talnmontfor the delegates to the Method is
conference came up. liov. U. A. Brown of
1 the Hunscom Park church said that enter
talnmout for 151 delegates bud been pro
vidcd. Several ol the ministers said the\
wanted another week to complete the canvass
ot their congregations with reference to
the matter. Cards were furnished them
upon which names of those who entertain
will bo reported to Kov , Brown.
Uov. A.V. . Clark brought up the matter of
doing something to assist the Society of As
Hoc'latod churltle-t. The following committee
Whs appointed to consider the matter : Dr
Durvca , Key. Mr. Crane and Kov. Mr

HISTORY OF AN INTERESTING RELIC
Singular Story Ciitmrrtcil With 11 ClieeU
Sent liy n CommlMlon I'lnii to 11 Cus
tomer to Ailtrrtlsn tlio
Single City.
An old oak table tlmt tins been kept In tbo
family of Mrs. T. U. llntchor for twenty
ycnrs as a curiosity went to plocoi Sunday
utulor the Investigation of nn Oraahn news
paper man , nnj rovonlod to lt nstonlshad
owners a secret drawer in which was con-
cenlcd n fortune ot healthy proportions.
It appears that about twenty years n < o
Mm. Iliitclicr's father attended n sale of the
properly of n tnlsor named Kompko , near
Clinton , la. Ills attention was attracted to
nn oddly built anu curiously carved oak cen
ter table about twenty-four Inches long and
eighteen Inches wide , which he purchased fern
n trlllo. The table had one shallow drawer.
The purchaser took his property homo ana
kept it for years , giving It a few" years ngo
to Mrs. Hatcher.
Sunday an Omnha newspaper man who
was visiting Mr. and Mrs. Hatcher noticed
the odd carving of the tublo and starteu to
examine It. Ho was Informed that HempUo ,
the original owner of the curiosity , had been
reputed very wealthy but that none of his
wealth could uo found at the tlmo of his
death , and that ho loft no heirs.
A small seam along ono sldo of the table
cauglit the newspaper man's eye and ho bo-
gnu an examination whlcn resulted in the
discovery of a sccrot drawer , which was soon
oponed. Hero was a surprise. Securely
wrapped lu a ploco of gunnysack were nearly
flU.UOO in gold , local tender , state bank
notices and some old ronfodorato bills.
Ah1 , and Mrs. Hatchor were simply dumb
founded at the llnd and could scarcely bo
brought to a realization of their possessions.
Mr. Hatcher at once had the money placed in
safe kooplnir t'titl ' will malco an effort to ascor-
laln U Kcmpko has any heirs who uro en
titled to the wealth.

A case of theft and forgery was discovered
In this city yesterday which promises to
develop some sensational details. The stolen
property consists of n cheek for S45 , drawn
by the stock commission tlrm of Coftman ,
Smi'.oy & Co. and inado payable to L.VT. .
Dent , a well known shluper of U'literloo ,
Nob.
It is the custom of the commission firms to
advance money to their customers to buy
stock. When the shipment is sold the firm
retains the money advance with ttiolr com
mission and remits the balance to the shipner.
Some time ago Mr. Deut shipped a consign
ment of stock to ColTman , Smiley & Co.
on these conditions. The balance duo Mr.
Ucnt was 45 , and a check for that amount
was mailed to him at Waterloo. Soon after
the firm received a letter from him asking
why his profits had boon hold back. Fearing
that the first checic bad been lost , another
for the same amount was forwarded and ro-
ceivcd in duo time.
The next day check number ono turned up
in the hands of a well ktiou'ii South Omaha
saloonkeeper properly endorsed and calling
for payment. The saloonkeeper , when
questioned , said he had cashed the check for
a stranger. When the firm began further
investigation bo ofiered to destroy the cheek
and lese the amount himself. Itappcars cer
tain that the checic was stolen In South
Omaha , and the commission men think they
know who cashed it at the saloon.
Postmaster Glasgow intends to thoroughly
investlgata the matter , and declares himself
certain that the check was never mailed
bore. *
The greatest care has boon taUon oy all
parties interested to prevent any publicity
being given to the facts of the robbery. The
case was not given to the police and "no in
formation was vouchsafed to reporters. The
facts leaked out by accident and it is believed
that unless the matter is hushed up a rather
unexpected denouement will follow.

TO OPEN LAKE STREET.
Sixth Wiiril Krililrnts nlvMtsMiij ; the IVusl-
lillltyol tin ; I'liin.
Citizens of the Sixth ward hold anottnr
meeting last night , but tbo question of di
viding the ward tn twain did not como up for
consideration. The mooting was not largely
attended , and when H. C. Smith was asked
to preside it was stated that tbo matter to
bo considered was the opening of the west
end of Lake street and ro-cstahllshlng the
crado ol thoroughfare from Twenty-fourth
to Forty-llrst street.
If this bo accomplished or when the effort
is inado to accomplish It the street rnllwav
and property owners along Cumlng street , it
is said , will make a strong prolost , ns Lake
street would be n good thoroughfare for
tralllc from the military road to cither
Twenty-fourth or Sixteenth.
A. P. Tukoy attended the mooUnir and
said It would bo a croat bonollt to the city as
well as to the property owners to have Lake
street opopcd to the Belt line railroad. Ho
thought , however , that the plan to open and
grade the street nt present was not feasible ,
ns much of the property west belonged to
the McShano heirs. They were not of ago
and could not dedicate any portion of the
property to the city for streets or any other
purpose , and ns there was no provision in tbo
cltv charter for condemnation of lands In
such cases Mr. Tukey could not see how the
difllctilty could ho overcome. If there were
any way by which tbo street grade could bo
ro-establishod and the western end opened
he wanted to see It dono. because ho thought
it would bo to the best Interests of all con
cerned.
Attorney Fitch favored the preparation of
a petition asking the city council to do the
work. Ho thought that It John A , M'Shano : ,
administrator of the estate , would apply to
tbo courts , ho would bo empowered to net
for the heirs in the condemnation proceed
ings.Tho
The question wns" settled by the appoint
ment by the chairman o'f n commit
tee of live to consult with City En
gineer Kosowutcr nsl to the change of grade
and opening the street to Fortv-llrst street.
The committee is composed of Frank Phelps
as chairman , E. G. Gfeen , Frank Sasstrom ,
Martin Itlner and H. 11. Strong.
A committee of two , consisting of A. P.
Tukey and N. A. Ivulin , was also appointed
to visit Mr. McShano and see what could bo
done on getting him to secure tbo condemna
tion of property.
These commlttoes'wfll report nt next Mon
day night's meetinp , which will bo hold at
the same place. Twenty-sixth and Lake
