Ho no sooner was asleep when he was aroused by the same noise and was about to get up again when he per- relvcd a man In the act of reaching for his gold watch. Ho jumped from his bed , grappled with him , secured his watch and endeavored to hold the burglar. They fought for a few moments , and the door being partly open the man attempted to get through , but Ills arms were caught when Matthews sud denly closed the door. Matthew's did not have his clothes on nnd the burglar ran down Htalrs. Ho full once or twlco and this , with the noise In the room , aroused the occupants of the building nnd it did seem the burglar was certain to be caught. Hut the thief got awny nnd has not been found. Ho had ransacked two rooms before colnc to Matthews' , dumping the contents of two trunks on the door. Ho did this much with out attracting any attention. Matthews de- Hcrlbes him as a short , heavy set man , with black hair and mustache. IIo wore dark clothes and a black hat. He succeeded In getting' uway only with a small scarf pin. . JtKFUiIMn 1UCQUHST. 1nlrrr8tliiRl > rclslin ( by ft I'nltpil Stntes Court In an Oregon Itutlroiul Cimo. SEATTLE. Wash. , April 1.

The assertion of Manager Allen of the Standard that ho would not risk an other crop of sugar beets until after it could bo made secure from high waters has doubtless - loss had Its effect.

The United Brethren , however , nre not to bo outdone , for their conference sent one of their best nnd brainiest ministers to this charge , n man who Can by far out-preach any minister located hero or that comes this way , BO wo can naturally expect weighty sermons from now on from each respective church.

( Special to The Dee. ) The approaching city election , which will take place one week from to morrow , Is a subject of general Interest and conversation at present. There has been so far no outward exhibition of excitement , but both parties are quietly .working. The republicans have nominated II. H. Hartllng , one of the city's most progressive business men , nnd the democrats have chosen D. P. Rolfo as their standard bearer. No par ticular Issues are Involved In the campaign , and inasmuch as Mr. Hartllng has given the citizens economical administration his re turn Is certain. For treasurer the republicans have nomi nated R.V. . Kelly , and the democrats O. N. Watson. Mr. Kelly Is comparatively un known , and Mr. Watson Is an old settler. For clerk , H. M. Boydston , Bryan's can didate for postmaster , isi- the democratic nominee. C , W. Hoge Is the republican can didate. The Morton and anti-Morton factions will cut .considerable figure in this spring's elec tion. It will bo noticeable.particularly In the democratic candidates for mayor and clerk , the former Is n pronounced Morton man , and the latter did more for Bryan's election than any other man In tlio county. As the feeling is now , it means a republican mayor , a democratic clerk nnd treasurer and the choice of four aldermen , with chances slightly In favor of the republicans. imIN : TIIK SKKVICIJ.

The speaker declared that there never was a period In the history of the church since the third century when this snmo conviction did nnt prevail to a greater or less degree , anil cited as proof the monastlcism of the early church and the Puritanism and ascet icism of later years. But the present agitation nnd unrest Is more general than over before. It Is not the creeds or doctrines of the church which nro assailed today , but Its very life. The question- no longer as to the merits or de merits of this or that system of religion , eras as to the truth of the creeds. The charge brought by such men as Tolstoi Is that the church has so far departed from the pre cepts nnd principles of Its founder that It Is no longer worthy of the support of earnest , honest men ; thnt It Is no longer wo-lhy of being called the "church of Christ. " "Look , " nay these men , "at this EO-ciilleO Church of Christ. Here nro Its followers or members , who would feel deeply wrotmod If they were denied the right to bo called Chilstlans , and yet by word and deed they openly repudiate the distinctive teaching of Jesus , the very features which commend Christianity ns being superior to the other great religions of the world. " It is the failure of Christians or the church ns n whole to apply the rules which Jesus laid down for the government of life to the actual everyday life of the social and business world that has caused such men ns Tolstoi to declare that "the Christianity of our age nnd civilization ap proves of society as it now exists , with Its prison cells , Its factories , its houses of Infamy , but as for the teaching of Jesus , which Is opposed to modern society , It Is only empty words. " "Our entire social fabric , " Tolsol declares , "Is founded upon principles that Jesus re proved ; wo do not wish to understand his doctrine In Its direct and simple applica tion , and yet wo profess to bellovo that Christ came .on earth to teach men by his example how to live. The sayings and pre cepts of Christ wore meant by him as n guide to correct living , but believers and un believers alike declare that It is Impos sible to put his teaching Into practice , " ADMITS TUB CHAHGB TRUE. Is this charge trtfe ? wo may well ask. Tolstoi declares that the sermon on the mount Is Intended to govern our life ; that when Jesus said : "If a man smite thee on the one cheek turn to him the other also ; If a man sue thco ut the law and take away thy coat , let him have thy cloak also , " "lay not up treasures upon earth , " "love your enemies , " he meant them to be clear , precise and practical rules of life , and that he never would have uttered them had he not expected that they would lil some measure be lived up to. We must admit the truth of the charge which Is brought against Christians of today. It is a fact that when the golden rule of Glirlst IB mentioned as a possible solution of the evils that prevail it Is1 met with a quiet yet firm reply that "to follow such a com mand would resalt In the destruction of all business , and chaos would be the result. " As Tolstoi says , we believe In the golden rule as an ideal toward which humanity ought to move , not as an actual rule of life. No one who has seriously reflected on the problem which Count Tolstoi so earnestly grapples with can have failed to reao ' ; the sad In congruity between the life of Christianity and the teaching of its founder. No earnest man can read those wondrous sayings of Jesus without feeling that there Is a vast gulf between his life and that plain , simple teaching. There nro men today who feel In their hearts that this inconsistency between the life of Christians and the precepts of Jesus can be and should be removed. There are men who believe with Tolstoi that these precepts are practical and can bo carried out If we are only In earnest. Their number is constantly increasing. Whether Tolstoi is mistaken In his assumptions I shall leave you to Judge , as our next talk will be on his explanation of these commands of Christ. Whether mistaken or not the study of the subject can only result in good , and if we are only faithful it will arouse us to greater effort nnd bring us nearer to the life of our divine Lord and Master , Jesus Christ. CI1O1CI ; OF A CALM NO. Itev. , T. BI. 1'uttcrnon Opens n Sprlon of I.octnrt'S to Young Mem. At the First Presbyterian church last night Ilev. J. AI. Patterson began the April series of Sunday evening lectures on the general topic : "Young People for the Times , or Finger Posts on the Iload to Success. " The text was , "I have finished the work which Thou gnvest me to do. " The theme for the- evening was , "Choice of u Calling , or square Men in Uouml Holes. " Hy way of introduction Sir. Patterson referred to the unknown possibilities that are wrapped up In the lives of tlm young people. He expressed the opinion that nil public teachers , and especially ministers , had a peculiar duty toward the young ; people ple , and might hope to share In some measure the greatness and goodness the young might attain If they wore faithful to the discharge of their Untie * . He ex pressed the conviction that tlio Christian religion had a peculiar relation to the pres ent life and that the duty of the preacher Is not so much to teach people how to die as to tench them how to live , One'H choice of business must be made in the light of nt least three principles : Kirst , the duty of every man to make the most of himself. Oed 'expects every man who has live talents to Increase them to ten. ten.Second Second , happiness Is not the supreme end of life. The man who seeks happiness as an end Is chasing a shallow. Happiness is dependent upon the mental nnd spiritual stntc rather than upon the physical .state nnd upon environment. True happiness Is found in seeking the welfare of others. Again , It ought to be n llxccl principle of the young mind that success may be pur chased ut too great a cost. There are other things to be gained In this world besides money. What cannot bo achieved without Inflicting un injury ujmn others Is not worthy of possession. The same Is true of that which cannot be achieved Without doing violence to one's conscience. Have a purpose. Da not he Ilka the Chinaman who was hacking away at a log of wood and said ho did not know whether he would make a trod or a bedstead. A purpose enables one to concentrate. Con centration Is essential to success. If a man is satisfied to pursue one thln ho may hope to nchlevo It. Make your callIng - Ing one for which you huvia natural In clination and qualification. There Is some one thing which you can do better than any other thing. The very beasts find out where their talents lie. Hu not less wise than thi * beast. Your wishes and Inclina tions will be the prophesies of your capaci ties. The most nuccessful men that the world baa ever known have In their youth indicated their culling. As Dryden said , " \Vhnt the child admired , the youth en deavored am ! the man acquired. " Da not think thnt In order to be respecta ble you must enter some ona of the pro fessions. The simple question IH , for what am 1 fitted ? There Is some line of duty In which every one may become useful and successful , The trouble Is , men tret out of their places. Square men get Into round holes : oblong men get Into triangu lar holes ; round men gut Into iujimre holes. Find out the work that nod Intends you to do and then be faithful unto death. Make the most of yourself In your ap pointed placet , Oed has a plan for you In your life. Happy nro you If you find it. The most wretched people of ull the world are thn people who are mluplucod , ami who , turning their backs upon their own life mission , are. trying to do the work of another.

An Imperial decree has been Issued announcing that hence forth Austria and Russia will accord each other the "most favored nntlrm" treat ment. ASH'ttltilKXTH. Mnrl" ) Tempi" ! ut Ito.vd'K. Although unusually reminiscent of count less musical compositions of nn earlier date. than these tatter century days , "The Fenc ing Master , " dope for the first tlmo nt lioyd's Inst night , Is thn most ambitious work yet dona by UcKovcn nnd Smith , Joint authors of thnt dainty pastoral tone poem , "Hobln Hood. " Even though sUKgcstlvu of a dozen comic operas , for there nro bts | of "Cannon , " "Pirates of Penzanco , " "Mascot , " a motif from Schuman's ' " " "Wanderer , yet so cleverly has Mr. DeKoven worked thnt only praise Is his due. for ho has given to theater goers nn opera full of atmosphere and local color. The plot Is simplicity Itself , but ns the scents nro laid In Venice anil Milan during the early part of the fifteenth century , when Stone presided over the destinies of the pride of the Adriatic. the opera admits of brilliant costuming nml attractive slngo settings , The first act Is a square in Milan , with thu beautiful cathedral In thn middle distance ; the second net , located In Venice , shows a court In front of the grand can.il , with a fleet of gondolas In the middle ground nnd the palace of the doge , a setting thnt has been universally admired for Its light and slmdH and wonderful effective values , viewed In the light of a stage picture purely. The third net Is somewhat conventional , showing the garden of the Mnrchcsn thn stage being decorated for n fete. It Is nrtlsttc , notwith standing Its conventionality , and rounds the opera splendidly. Hut the success of the opera , nnd It won very substantial recognition lust night , the hotiso being crowded with music lovers , depends not upon the scenic effects , but upon the company , and taken In Its entirety Omaha has not heard a mure perfect comic opera organization than the Whitney com pany , headed by that bundle of nerves , vivacity and enthusiasm , pretty and plqunnte Marie Tempest. She has a. most congenial role In that of Francesco , the fencing master , who masquerades as a young swell In the fifteenth century , doublet nnd hose , but eventually love for Fortunlo ( Julius Stcgcr ) compels her to tell the story of her life , to the rapture of Fortunio. Marie Tempest stands nt the head of comic cpcra prlma donnas , She has all the essentials of rich success , nnd never has a Londoner como to America with so little advance notice than the young woman who made a most pronounced Impression last night , amounting \nlmimt to nn ovation. How eminently worthy of the honors of men nnd the esteem of gods are the young forces of the earth , that , clothed In beauty , press on with high resolve and unfaltering purpose to achieve something supreme , not swerving ono jot from the grand aim , though the world fling mocking pleasures at their feet , as in olden tlmo the golden apple were Hung to stay the feet of the runner. Miss Tempest hns n rich , sympathetic , light soprano , her speaking voice being oven as captivating as her singing ; essentially a comedienne she brings to tlio dual role nn airiness-and a fine nppreclntlon of the many possibilities of the score thnt charm nnd delight the senses. Next to Miss Tempest , nnd the company she honils Is rich In good , young voices , stands Miss Lilly Post , ono of the very reliable singers on the operatic stage , her performance of the Countess Fillppa being thoroughly in her line of business. She was In excellent voice last night and In the finale of the second act took the house by storm with the strength and beauty of her upper reg ister , and deserved to share the honors of a curtain call with Miss Tempest and Mr. Steger. Miss Dorre also sings with effect , while little Julia Spencer , a bright bit of femininity , and Miss Langdon sustain their roles with credit. The men , however , are weaker than the women. Mr. Steger , whose Fortunlo , while a picturesque study , lacks dramatic completeness , and ho shows In his methods a newness to the stage , which will undoubtedly wear away when ho acquires the requisite technique thnt marks the true artist. The comedians are headed by Rlchnrd Carroll , a very clever farceur , but whose low wit Is galling sometimes to the auditor who Is there to enjoy the beauties of the book and score rather than listen to allusions to the army of the Commonweal nnd General Uoxey , Cleveland's shortcomings and lucubrn- lens on the silver and tariff bills. Mr. Tro Denlck would not bo missed if he were out of the cast entirely. The same with propriety could bo said of the tenor of the company , Mr. Gcrome. Hut the company 'makes up in ensemble what It lacks individually , the mlse en scene being of striking effect. The opera abounds In beautiful music , two or three quintets being finely sung. Miss Tem pest has n jewel of a song In the "Rose and the Nightingale , " while Mr. Steger sings most acceptably a heroic number entitled "Tho Knight Errant , " decidedly suggestive of Will Scarlet's "Amorer's Song" In "Hobln Hood. " The girls nro pretty nnd the per formance worthy of great praise. "Zol > " lit tint Hfli'iMitli .Street. That a largo proportion of the theater going public Is favorably Inclined toward a simple portrayal of country life , with Its quaint characterization and honest humor , Is evinced by the favor with which these per formances are almost Invariably received. The domestic comedy , "Heb , " which opened nn engagement nt the Fifteenth Street tho- nter yesterday afternoon , Is new to the Omaha public , but this did not prevent the theater from being filled at each perform ance. The play hinges on the story of Christiana Alnsworth , an heiress , who has been adopted into the family of Thomas Sanders , an Indiana farmer. The girl is not aware of her unsuspected wealth and grows up among her simple surroundings without a thought of ( he world outside. Tlio efforts of a pair of villains to rob her of lier birthright form the plot of the story , and : ho performance is pleasingly filled out with a number of musical specialties. 7.ctho \ icro , Is a country lad with more honesty ; han polish , but In his homely way always succeeds In thwarting the plans of "Tenle's" enemies , nnd eventually wins both her and her fortune. The part Is taken by Mr. John T. Hanscn , who fills the requirements very acceptably , besides con tributing very largely to the specialty fea tures. Ills imitations In the second act were especially well received. The star of the company Is Miss Hose Melville , who rep resents the unconscious heiress. Her songs are exceptionally well rendered , and her Impersonation of a bashful country maiden In the last act was a decidedly clever piece of acting. The last act also Introduces a male quartet that Is considerably superior lo the average , and which might very ac ceptably fill a more prominent part In the performance. With one or two exceptions the Bongs ure new ami catchy and are Just far enough apart to make the performance lively nnd Interesting. Mr. Kdwnrd Eaglo- on displays a magnificent bass voice In con nection with his part of the old farmer , nnd Hurt Morris adds n tenor solo to the musical fcutureH. A panorama of World's fair views amuses the audience botweun thu acts , nnd a final chorus by the entire company ends a very enjoyable evening' " amusement. j'liitvs ritnsinKsr ni.in.
