Dsptity United States Marshal Illlhveg ar- rhed In the city yesterday with Oscar Sea man of Drede , Carroll county. In charge. Seaman Is a photographer , and It Is said Is very proficient In his line of business. Kor some" time past lie has been doing a large business through the malls and the express companies , nnd the suspicions of the United State- ! authorities were aroused by certain things. An ln\cstlgatlon was made , which resulted In' the discovery that Seaman was engaged In distributing obscene pictures and literature o\er the country. An Information was filed , and Seaman was gathered In yes terday. IllllucK went through his photograph gal lery jeatcrday and found a mall sack full of the pictures and books which had formed Se.uuan's stock In trade. There were fully two bushels In all. The pictures were made from hli own negatives nnd were scattered though the gallery , among other pictures , without any apparent attempt nt conceal ment. The books were aho found done up In latge quantities , ready to be mailed. Sea man hud been advertising quite extensively In eastern papers and had menaced to build up a large business without In the least exciting Bti'plclon among the people with uliom he was thrown Into daily contact , and who , It Is said , regard him very highly. Just before his dipartuie a number of well-to-do citizens of Drede called on htm and told him that If there was anything they could do to help him , he should call upon them. Seaman was taken before Commissioner Steadman. to whom ho admitted that lie had been In the business of circulating the papers and pictures through the malls. He said , however , that he had traveled extensively In Mexico , and had seen books and pictures of the same klitd for sale In the stores , without the slightest thought on the part of the pub lic that there was anything Improper. He was bound over to the federal grand Jury , and his bond was fixed at $5,000. Although he claimed the county treasurer of Carroll county would sign Ills bond If he should ask lilni. he said that the coming term of court Is M > close at hand that he would as soon go to Jail for the few days that Intervene as bother about a bond. Some of the objectionable stuff has been sealed up by the officials , and will be laid before the grand Jury as evidence. The pic tures are described as obscene and degrading ( n the extreme. Seaman claims to have made a large portion of the negatives from real life. S.VrimtlAY KVIiMNU. ItrnnUnii Itros.

Is looking for her 0-year-old brother , from whom she has been separated for some time. According to her story , her parents lived In this city until about six years ago , on Stutsman street , Then they moved to Denver nnd afterwards to Lyons , Colo. , where the father and mother had a falling out , which resulted In their separation. The father took the little girl , whom her mother had driven out of doors , and the other children the mother gave away to different persons. Last June the little girl came to this city to visit her grandparents , and while at the Seventh Day Ail vent 1st church , at the corner of Blurt and Story streets , ran across her brother , who was with u family named Shilling. She told her father , who wns In Denver , and he sent word to her to get her brother. But the Shilling family took the boy with them to Lincoln , where they now are. The little girl called upon Justice Kit Id to get his help In securing possession of her brother. The Jus tice told her that her father , being the natural guardian of the bay , could bring Jegal proceedings to prove up his right , and this will probably be done.

Ex-President Henry Vlllard of the Northern Pacific , who was charged In the report of the Master In Chancery Carey proceedings against Receiver Oakes with having made unlawful gains In his dealing with the Northern Pacific Hall- road company. Is In the Orient. His counsel , W. II. Peckham , today made the following statement for publication , In defense of Mr. Vlllard : Mr. Peckham said : "The statement In the papers do Mr. Villord great Injustice. From a careless reading It might appear that In some legal proceedings conducted In the or dinary way , to which Mr Vlllard was a party , It had been adjudged by the Hiaster that Mr Vlllard had made Illegal gains. Nothing could be further from the fact. In the consolidated suit In the United States circuit court for the eastern district of Wis consin against the Northern Pacific , Thomas F. Oakes , then president , and Messrs. Rouse and Payne were , by consent of the railroad company , appointed receivers. This Inquiry In Milwaukee was not made ( o recover any thing from Mr. Vlllard. No Judgment or de cree of any kind can be rendered affecting him. The only result that can be effected Is the removal or retention oc Mr. Oakes ns receiver. "Hnd the Inquiry been conducted by coun sel with this view only , the report would have been that It was not necessary to decide whether there had been unlawful gains , etc. , by Vlllard or any other director , Inasmuch as It was clear that Mr. Oakes neither knew nor ought to have known of such unlawful gains. "The Inquiry docs not seem to have been o.nductedwith that vlsw. On the contrary , Its one purpose seems to have been to attack Mr. Vlllard. "It was conducted by the special antagonist of Mr. Vlllard , Brayten Ives , now president of the Northern Pacific. Mr. Pettlt , the pe titioner's counsel , put before the master the testimony he chose. So far as Mr. Vlllard waa c ncerned , there was no other side. Mr. Vlllard had no standing In the proee > dlngs and could not be heard. Had he volunteered as a witness he would have been subject to examination such as petitioner's counsel chose to hove , and without the right to the aid ot counsel , and without a contr 1 by nny court over the examination. "Certainly no counsel would allow his cli ent to be put In such a position. "Now , as to the charges made In the re port , I cm only say Mr. VJllard meet em phatically denies any unlawful gains and any wrongdoing whatever. Th way to try whether Mr. Villard Is culpaule or otherwise Is by suit against him , not to bring In Irrel evant matter on a petition to remove re ceivers. "One such suit was brought about a year ago nominally by one Jtlm Swop : really , I understand , by the same Interest which filed the petition to remove the receivers. To that suit Mr. Vlllard Immediately filed a full and complete answer. The time to take the testimony has long since expired and the suit has been practically abandoned. "As to the charges reported by Mr. Carey Mr. Vlllard Is quite ns ready to meet them as he was those of the Swope case , and only after a Judgment In n stilt brought agulnst him and where he has been heard will an Intelligent public give the matter any con sideration. Now , with the testimony taken i by Master Carey I am not familiar. It was presented by Mr. Pettlt , Mr. Ives' coun sel , and , I am told , docs not warrant the conclusion. The gist of .Master Carey's re port seems to bs that In regard to the Northern Pacific & Manitoba Mr. Vlllard made a profit by reason of reasonable com pensation for his services nnd made an un reasonable profit. That Is stated at $3G3- C19.70. The question thus In the mind ol ) the master seems to have been one of de- gree. The master conceded a right to conv pensatlon , but says Mr. Vlllard charged toe much , and has apparently allowed htm noth Ing. Clearly that Is a matter of oplnlor on which people will differ , and on whlcl no one Is competent to form an opinion un less ho knows the fact. I am told thai Items of cost , amounting to $200,000 , havi been overlooked "by the master. If that l so it would reduce Mr. Vlllard's compcnsa tlon or alleged Illegal gains to $163,619.70. "But. as I have said , whether the mastci has drawn correct conclusions from the tcs tlmony submitted rte him does not seem ti me of the least Importance or worthy o th ? least attention. Exparte proceedings without the presence 9f the party , charged are too notoriously worthless to attract at tentlon. " llurnril for \Vnek at TH. NEW YORK , Sept. 14.

RELIGION IN THE SCHOOLS Opiciozs of Btv. Dr. Fratiiljn oa the Jifucti Dl-cusscd Qugstlon. 2i i i'i MS FAKE MAD : By , , SEC ARIANS Itrmttl l nOttch fur All Mnnklml nail tlmt Ulilrli U In < Ccncr.il n * ' ' Truth ( ho Only'i | | lint hliouhl Uo Hcv. Dr. Leo M. Franklin nt the Temple Israel last evening delivered a discourse on "Religion In the Public Schools. " Said he : It Is no less a man than England's greatest bard who sings : "Ignorance Is the curse of God , Knowledge the % slng wherewith \ve fly to heaven. " Indeed ) Ignorance Is the dark angel of n period , and I honestly believe that more evil Is brought Into the world through Its In fluence than through the actual wickedness and criminal Intent of the wrongdoers. Ig norance ot matters of which one has had the opportunity to learn Is e.'on worst' than ab solute Indifference to them , But It Is frequently said that Ignorance Is no crime. Not , tn truth , Is IL such , We cannot from the conditions ot our finite nature lie nll-tthe , all-educated or alt-dis cerning. Knowledge covers such an Immen sity of things that Is co-equal with the uni verse , and no man has studied all Its secrets. To none of us has It been granted to taste of the luscious fruits of Eden's tree of knowledge , for had It been so willed we should have been all-wise , as the scripture puts It , "like unto God Himself , knowing the goo-el and the evil ; " we should have passed from the nature of the Unite to that of the unending Infinite. Ma , 's ability to comprehend being thus limited , ho must con tent himself with a limited knowledge of things. Standing as he does , he must scan closely whatever falls within the scope of his vision , but he must not strain his eyes overmuch , lest he ruin his sight and be un able to see altogether. It Is Indeed a bon for man thati knowl edge Is BO sjstcmatlzed that esch Individ ual can choose a special line of work and learn to understand It thcroughly. The shoe maker , the blacksmith , the carpenter anJ the bookkeeper must each pursue a. certain kind ot knowledge , as nurely as must the Uwyer , the doctor , the dentltt and the min is to. ' , nut this fact must be borne In mind Tint man cannot know all tWngs Is due tea a physical , or , let us rather say , to an In tellectual Impossibility. It Is not the nature of knowledge as such that makes It Impos sible cf acquirement to any one. There. Is no reason why the good lawyer could not at the same time be a gtod shoemake-r , ex cept that to pursue one branch of Industry or the other conscientiously and well , re quires all the time at the disposal of the av rage man. But In the knwledge that Is requisite for the shoemaker there Is nothing that -would clash with tint which Is abso lutely necessary for the lawyer. Knowledge as representative of truth cannst bo self- contradictory. TEACHERS AS TRADESMEN. Nor does an understanding of the one kind exclude n knowledge of thef ether. S-ine of Israel's greatest sages word at the same time mechanics or handicraftsmen. It Is stated In the Talmud that theV teachers In the schools of Babylon held no discourses during the week of harvest. Of > eminent teachers who were , iiqt ashamed to stoop to manual labor we have such examples as lllllcl I. , whs gained a livelihood by chopping word ; Rabbi Joshua B. Chananya , a pin maker ; R. Jchuda U , Hal , rt cooper ; R. Jiula , a baker , and so forth. Such examples ore frequent among the greatest teachers of antiquity , and go to show that while icach man may devote hlmxe.lt to , a special brhnch of learning , such speclalfy does not exclude the possibility of acquiring knowledge tutslde thereof. ' Indeed , where one's education Is devoted solely to one branch or subject , he 1s likely to become narrow , pedantic or bigoted n regard to that special branch. It Is un doubtedly fcr this cause that EO many pro fessional men , notably muslcUns and artists , prove themselves disagreeable company out side the Immediate circle of their professional fratirnlty. Even though one be devoted to his spclal calling , he must be able to judge I cf things Impart.ally , even as he would wcro he separate and apart from his profession. He must be able to look at things from all sides , for It he Is not we must conclude that hla education has been altogether one-sided. The man whose knowledge Is not shrouded In uncertainty will net fear to have It exposed to the most crucial examlnat one. Indeed , If a conviction brought on by knowledge Is true and honest , Its truth will shine forth but the more grandly as each new search light Is directed toward It. Now , this belnn true of the educated man In general , the principle Involved therein must hold in regard to the process of educa tion applied In special cases nnd to the theory of education as a whole. Indeed , there arc but few who would not agree that true edu cation means on all-sided development of man , Such being the case , no Institution c ( learning can under any circumstances afford to shut out any single branch of study the pursuit of which would tend to broaden the views and lend enlargement to the mental horizon of the student. As a general thing this Is accepted without argument or ques tion. It Is practically only In regard to the Introduction of one subject into our schools that there Is a serious difference of opinion among educators. That Is the subject of re ligion. How many bitter battles have been fought for and against the Introduction ol religion tn our schools Is a matter that can not be unknown to you. Scarce a school yeai opens but In one part of the country 01 another a hue and a cry la raised that unless rellclon Is taught to our children In th ! schools they will become morally decrepit and religiously weak and undlscernlng. HE DEFINES THE TERM. It may perhaps seem strange and unpre cedented to those who ivell know how stanchly and unflinchingly I have always stood for the absolute and uncompromising f separation of church and state In every sense - that I should even find It necessary or hav < the inclination to discuss at this time tlu subject : "Religion In the Public Schools. " And yet I assure you that the matter Ii not to be wondered at. True , I have not Ii the least degree modified my views upon tin subject , or If I have , my denunciation o making religion , as It Is usually understood a factor'ln public school work , has become bu the more pronounced. Rather would I eacrl nee the freedom of my lmbs | , rather wouU 1 glvo myself over tU 'fetters ' and the dark ness of a dungeon cell than give up for on single hour that liberty of thought , tha freedom of conscience',1 which , after all , Is thi greatest boon that * trfjoy even In this be loved land. Where thought Is free nnd un trammeled ; where menMnay follow fearless ! ; the dictates o ! their 'hearts and consciences where the religious convictions of one per son are considered assincere as those of an other , there and there 6nly may we expect ti find men free In the grandest sense fice no alone In body , but free * In spirit , free In sou mentally , morally ( reo. ) With such convlcllofls. ow could I advocate the Introduction , of religious teach Ings In our scluoU ? lsUie , question that yoi will most naturally ( OskT , And yet , friends my answer may sur irl A , and shock you. " am In favor of teaCjljljos religion In thi schools , not , however4U R it Is usually und r stood , In the sense of , narrow sectarianism , o ceremonial formalism or church dogmatism but I am In favor of. teaching that rellgtoi which stands for universal right , for unlver sal justice , for universal toleronca and broth erhood. For me religion means not form nor faith , nor creed , nrr ceremony , nor c'n fesslon , nor lengthy prayer nor church at tendance ; for mo religion means life am light and love and charity and sympathy an < brotherhood. The religion that I would hav taught Is that which emphasizes manhoo < and equality ; that lays stress upon the trutl so cften overlooked that humanity U a mill greater and grander than any sect or creed , WHERE THE MISTAKE IS. The secret ot the whole matter Is thli Our "educators , like the common massjs , fal often Into the deplorable error of mtatukln ; sectarianism for religion ; blind faith for-tru belief ; formalism f r worship and Ignoran following of forms for true devotion. Why. have even heard U said that In certain pub lie- schools til our city little children are mad to learn by heart quotations from tbg ne\ trslamcnt which ere strictly sectarian In their nature , and , as such , not only repul sive to the pupils , but In contradiction to the teachings of ( heir parents nnd their church. Now , t want It distinctly uQilvritood that U makes absolutely no difference to me whether a quotation taught to our children IB taken ( rom the old or the now testament ; from sir | luojj IBJ89AV IIUAX oil | Jo uttjojl 3qj works ot Unnte. or of Shakespeare , or of Schiller , so long as It Is representative of s methlng that Is universally true , and not only true to a limited number of Imllvldu- alx. To teach anything that smacks of sec tarianism In ix public school is a show ot Ig norance that Is unparalleled. Now , friends , 1 am not to credulous as to b.-llcvc that the day la soon nb ut to dawn when there will be no sectarianism , and when the brotherhood of man will be to ktrongly emphasized that there will be bht one rcllgloii ) and that religion universal , Such drcama do not enter my mind at any time , nor da I think that the prophet's visit n of the lion and the lamb will ever attain a literal fulfillment. Ignorance , bigotry nnd fanaticism will ever , and must ever exist. Hut this I do think , that un are far enough advanced In thought , In culture , in enlight enment , that we should not fear to face the truth and teach It to our children ; I think that we sh ulcl be prepared to comprehend the truth nnd teach It In our schools , that religions ore many , but religion is ever one and the same. TRUTH SHOULD NOT SHOCK. Truth should no longer shock us , and If a teacher t > ecs fit to tell his advanced pupils , as some nrlmps may , that not only the biblical teachers could quench their thirst for knowledge In the living waters , but the foun tains of Inspiration will never cease to ( low as long as there remains the spring of human g'nlus to feed their hungry streams ; or that the bible Is inspired only In the same fcenne as are the works of such writers as Shakes peare and Milton and Homer , It Is not suffi cient ground fcr his discharge. Put n check to fro ? thought and free speech In our schoo's and you overthrow the very purpose of their existence. I wish that our educators would mark it uell tlmt truth has never yet been harmful and that naught but falsehood and docslt can give rise to wickedness and crime. Nay , "Truth Is divine and the seal of divinity Is truth. " Therefore to my mind religion means truth and truth religion. What fear can there beef of teaching such religion In the public schools ? Absolutely non1. Quite the reverse. It will do an Inestimable amount of good , for It will teach our children to look at things divine with human eyes , that Is , understandingly - ingly , and ( o make of earth a paradise by making It a pleasant place to dwell for all the children of a laving , universal Father. Hence , It Is my conviction that In our schools we should teach the pupils not only col.l , dry facts ; not only unsympathetic ma terial truths , but we should Impart to them those grander , nobler , spiritual truths , the culmination of which Is that which origin ated with Moses , and is coplEd by the Sago of Christianity "Thou shall love thy neigh bor as th > sclf. " Teach them such truths and > ou will be teaching religion tn Its highest sense , but In such a way that neither your freedom of thought nor theirs will bl molested ; your liberty ot conscience will not be Interfered with , but your views will bo broadened , your sympathies will be enlarged and your life nnd the lives of your children wilt bo living witnesses that you appreciate the thought of the poet who said : "Dare to be true nothing can need a He ; A fault which needs It most , grows two thereby.

( Special. ) The reunion ot the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints , now In session at this place , promises to be one of the most Interesting re ligious gatherings ever held in Iowa. The camp grounds are situated about a half mile from the town , on the summit of a lofty hill. Several hacks are kept busy transfer ring passengers to and from the grounds. On arriving at the grounds one Is treated to n sight seldom witnessed , I. e. , a city of cotton. .The large grove is decked with tents of different dimensions , each contain ing one or more families. Everything gives evidence of order , harmony and uniformity. Streets are laid out straight , with streets Intersecting at right angles , thus making every part of the camp equally accessible. On entering the grounds one Is Immediately Impressed with the absence of formality and city customs , but that free , * unassumlng hos pitality which characterizes the American farmer found here. There are no strangers on the grounds , for all arc made to feel per fectly at home , so kindly are they treated. As to dress and bearing , you cannot dis tinguish the ministers from the other campers an absence of fastidiousness and pomp Is particularly noticeable. No pro fanity Is heard. It Is an exception to even see one who uses tobacco. Your correspond ent has not seen a tobacco user on the grounds. The reason of this Is that the church enjoins Its members to lead a btrlctly moral and temperate life. The presidents of the reunion are : Joseph Smith , W. W. Blair and A. H. Smith. The principal speakers. Including the above , have been Joseph Laff , J. R. Limbert of the Apostles tles , H. A , Stebblns. general church secre'ary ; J S. Roth. T. W. Williams , J. F. McDowell , D M. Rudd and A. N. Fyramlo of the gen eral ministry. BRIOHAM YOUNG'S CLAIMS. The "Mission of Christ" has been the favorite theme of the ministers , One of the principal sermons delivered so far was that of Joseph Smith on Tuesday last ; subject , "Church Succession. " The speaker exam ined the claims of Brlghnm Young und his successors In office to the presidency of the church , showing that there was no warrant In the law for their pretentlons , and that they forfeited their right to the favor of 'When millions ?

Kldcr Smith slated that he expected ( o continue this aggressive warfare until the Utah people ple opened up to the reorganized church , or they would destroy their citadels. The speaker was kind lu his reference to this ' people , but firm In his denunciation of their evils. The saints are earnest Sunday school work ers. Thursday afternoon and evening was devoted to Sunday school evercloes. Elder T. W.Vllllitms of Council Uluffs pave an amusing addtess on child training , showing the absurd practices of many parents , and the consequent results , lie was followed by Joseph Luff , who gave a logical talk on "In dividuality of Child Life. " which was duly appreciated. Sunday promises to be the most Interesting day. Nearly 10,000 people will be on the grounds. There lire nearly 200 tents on the grounds and upwards ot 1,000 campere. lonn Old Scltlen Mu-l , MALVKHN , In. , Sept. 14.

LactntoJ Food Will Not Disagree U'itli Anj Child-Should Be Used. Don't tnko clmiices with the baby. These summer disorders , diarrhea niW cholera Infnntum , conic with a luiddermest nnd progress from bad to worse with I rapidity tlmt trows unprepared mothers luti iclnless confusion. Every experienced nurse knows Hint It It of the utmost Importance to keep nt ImniJ nctated food as n substitute for baby's food ! even when the child Is fed nt Uio breast Often the heat so weakens the Infant atom- ten or the nntiir.il milk falls , so that n par- tlnlly digested food , suoh as Uctated food uust be employed , that will burden the weak' ' filed stomach less and yet keep up the bi. > y's strength. The Irrltntod condition of the bowels Is what lends to fntal diarrhea when mothers persist In clinging to the snmc old llet desplto the warnings thai baby Is no ! only not thriving , but In grtat danger o | cholera Infnntum and diarrhea , that carries off so ninny Infnnts. It Is fnr easier to prevent the summer dis orders by using pure , highly nourishing laclatrd food. When babies throw up their milk or when : hey aru not keeping up tlielr strength , cs- > eclnlly ( luring hot weather. It Is plain therq s trouble with the food. Hither the food , U it Is mother's milk , Is poor In quality from long nursing or from the effects of the sum mer htut on the mother , or If the child Is we.ined the Infant stomach , weakened as It Is by the high temperature , Is In-Haled nnd cannot digest and assimilate sufficient focil to keep bnby strong and healthy. 1'hyslclana when called In such cases , put the- child on a diet of lactnted food. Itclng u partially di gested food , ns physicians call It , lactatetl food Is more easily converted Into vigorous blood than nny other food upon which a child can be fed. It Is , In fact , the nearest liosslble substitute for healthy mother's milk. Its parts are well nigh Identical with baby'a earliest and best food , healthful breast milk. Dables tlmt seem to mothers to take "hardly enough nourishment to keep ( hem nl\e , " eat heartily when fed on lactatcd food , because - cause tlmt great object of a successful In fant food has been thoroughly attained It pleases the Infant taetc and Induces the child to cat heartily. Babies are safely and readily weaned dur ing the summer months on this nplendlcl nutritive. And for the same reason thai lactatcd food Is by far the best dlot for young children , BO ! t Is peculiarly fitted to the needs of nursing mothers , as well as Invalids who have slight energy to extract strength and nutrition from ordinary coarse , hearty food. Lactatcd food Is used In all the largo homes for children throughout the United States and Canada , and In families possess ing every means for securing the best for their children ; and yet It Is easily within the reach of the most modest household In the land.
