Dr. Dougherty of ltu.itrlje Polnti Out tb
Way for ChrUllnim to Act.
Kev. E. J. Babcock went to Beatrice , Neb
yesterday to occupy the pulpit of Rev. Rol
ert Dougherty , nnd Dr , Dougherty cdlfle
the audience at St. Paul's In the afternoo
with a sermon , In which ho dwelt wit
some emphasis upon the way a good man
Christians have of de-voting moro of the
time to the pursuit of Mammon than to tl
cause they are supposed , to have espouse' '
His discourse was a vigorous nrralgnmoi
of that class of Christians , although neil
Ing was said to Indicate that he thougl
the members of St. Paul's church wer ? i
bo Included In that category.
"It takes but llttlo time for a man I
make a living , " said he ; "ot course , If
man Is a spendthrift , or If he Is shlftlei
ho may be In want , but ns n. rule inio wl
are out of work or who cannot get the mom
necessary to provide themselves with tl
necessaries of life can hold their own car
lessness responsible for that fact. One i
the worst features connected with the pa
session of wealth Is that a man nevsr knov
who are hlu friends. Ho goes into n fltoi
nnd buys a bill of goods. The proprleti
Is very smiling nnd affable , and tolls hli
It doesn't matter whether ho pays for thei
now or not. When ho drives down strci
in his carriage people- gaze nt hlm nnd If 1
notices them are delighted at the honor coi
fcrrcd on them. In the parable Dives
represented as having all the friends
man could wish , because he had the weall
that brings a certain class of friends , whc
ho died and found himself In a place i
torment he hadn't one. He had to ask fi
Homo one to bring a drop of water to co
his tongue , but no one came. Wasn't ho
foolT Isn't any man a fool who devoti
all his time to the acquisition of weall
at the expense ot the cultivation ot the mci
tal and spiritual capacities ? "
Dr. Dougherty spoke nt considerable lengl
on the especial folly of church mcmbci
claiming to bo sanctified to the work i
Christ and then devoting their energies '
the pursuit of worldly wealth. It was , 1
nald , as If a church that had been dcd
catcd to the services at Almighty God wei
turned over to some ono ns a place to kes
etoro In , or as though the baptismal foi
were to ba used In the kitchen during tl
week.

Tie ! editorial comments In The flee In re
gard to annexation have caused the subject
to bo discussed quite a little of late. There
arc many In favor of annexation today whc
fought the proposition when It was before the
people before. The financial condition ol
South Omaha Is bad. It owes the banks thou
sand ! ) of dollars , to ray nothing ot the out
standing bonds , warrants , judgments and
other InJebtedncss.
A prominent citizen and a heavy property
owner , speaking about annexation to a Dee
reporter , said : "While I am not talking
annexation , there Is no question but that II
Is the proper thing for property owners tc
agitate. It would glvo better police and lire
protection , decrease our taxes , make us c
metropolitan city ot which we could all be
proud , and give South Omaha property owner !
a standing with eastern capital that the }
can never expect to have until the two cltlei
nro mndo one.
"In case of annexation I presume thai
South Omaha would be cut up Into two wards
That would give us four councllmen , wlilcl
Is enough. Some people argue that It we on
annexed wo will be nothing but a suburb am
will never get any Improvements. This seri
of talk Is all bosh. Who pays for public I in
provemcnts ? Why , the person who owns thi
property , of course. The money does no
come out of the general fund. The abuttlni
property la assessed for paving , grading
curbing , sidewalk and all Improvements. Un
der the law all a person has to do la to petl
tlon the council and the work will be allowet
to go ahead without delay.
" 1 am certain that tha proposition wouh
carry If U was brought up at a special clec
tlon , and I think that along In Februar ;
would ba a good time to Introduce It. "

The efforts of the authorities to keep Mlki

The residence has been thoroughly fuml
gated and the clothing worn by O'Hern a

not remain at his residence , and there I ;
no guard to stop him In case he takes a no
tlon to stroll down the street.
There was much bitter talk on the street :
In regard to his conduct Saturday night , nnd
In order to throw off any Individuals win
might have been worked up to such a pltcl
that they would go to his house and reques
him to vacate , the report was circulated tha
ho was dead. Only a few believed the report

HONORED BY THE JINKS.
Itccollcctlons of Dr. Holmes' Election in i
Member of n Man Francisco Club.
One day recently the flag outside th
Dohemlan club swung at half mast , says th
Ban Francisco Examiner. The club mourne
the loss of a member who had never crosse <
Its threshold. Years and years ago , whe :
the Bohemian club was In Its infancy , I
the days when the members met In the ol
Sacramento street rooms , there was
"Jinks. " Now a Jinks , especially a Jink
In the Bohemian club , Is not conducted o
strictly temperance principles. This on
was no exception to the rule. Tomm
Newcomb was president of the Bo
hemlan club In thoio days , am
under his supervision the reins of dlsclplln
were drawn but laxly. The subject of th
Jinks was the then famous "Professors at th
Breakfast Table , " Ono member recited " 01
Ironsides , " and a moment later anothe
capped It with "The Height of the nidlcu
lous. " The "Chambered Nautilus" wa
followed by "Tho Onc-Hoss Shay. " An
BO It went until some spirit bolder tha
the rest indited a telegram to the good
gray poet of Boston informing him of hi
election to the Bohemian club , with all th
privileges appertaining thereunto , and sen
It before the more sober members coul
protest.
Now , Boston Is three hours nearer the rls
ing sun than San Francisco. The telcgrai :
had scare left the club rooms before som
mathematically Inclined member had dlecov
ered that It would be mldnlcht or later er
the New England doctor and poet would re
celvo his notification of election.
Judge ot the astonishment' ' of. the rollick
Ing Bohemian crew when a uniformed nies
sengcr of the telegraph company ran up th
stops with the following message , and asked
"Is dcre any answer ? "
Message from Ban Francisco : Whisper low
Asleep In bed an hour or more ago ,
While on his peaceful pillow he reclines.

WE'RE QROWIffOi FAT.
Corpulency the I.ntlcr-i\ay. . Tendciiey of
In nuny ways we are' liiado aware that
we live In an age when men tend to adl-
IOSQ tissue. The Rdveftlement columns
n our newspapers , says thd llaltlmoro Sun ,
jear constant witness to the fact tint anti-
rat rem'edles arc In large doniand. Until
within ten years such advertisements were
rarely seen. The evidence % t our eyes as
we walk through the business streets ot
any ot our large cities assures those of us
who are old enough to reclll the business
i.-ien of the preceding generation that the
American citizen of Eo.d. .circumstances Is
moro literally a "solid man" ' today than ho
used to be.
A glance at the [ irr traits of the whole line
of our presidents confirms the belief that
our national physical typo Is becoming moro
liortly. The post-bellum presidents have
been weightier men than their predecessors.
Abraham Line In was the last ot our chief
maglttrates who In any way justified the
traditional Uncle Sam , tall , angular nnd
spara ot flesh. All who have followed him
have been men cf good avoirdupois. Grant
and Hayes were the least corpulent of them ,
nnd they were both men ot ample Rlrth and
weight. . Garileld ml Arthur both made
formidable Impressions on tha scales , and
Mr. Cleveland Is cast In the same massive
mold. Most of our cartoonist have taken
the hint and no longer present Uncle Sam
as a marvel ot length and leaness , but as
a gentleman of well rounded term whose
food obviously agrees with him.
So marked has the Inclination to obesity
become among us that we are constantly
hearing of prcmlnent citizens who feel con
strained to undergo vigorous courses of dieter
or training to rid themselves of superfluous
flesh. The normal weight of a man whose
height Is flvo feet six Inches Is fixed at
115 pounds , nnd If he Is a slx-footcr at 178
pounds. Allow abJut six pounds. mori > or
less , for every Inch cf Increased or de
creased height , and the normal weight can
bo ascertained. Nevertheless , many men ,
and probably the majority , csrry more than
their duo allowance of tissue , and unless
the excess Is very marked they do so with
out discomfort. It may , Indeed , be doubted
If the fad of "training down" Is not In dan
ger of being overdone. A moderate store
of fat , according to t-xcellcnt medical au
thority , tends to reduce the wear nnd tear
of the nervous system and acts also ns , a
sort of savings bank of vital power , to be
drawn upon In an emergency. In confirma
tion cf this view of the matter it Is often
said that atheletes have failed In severe com
petitive tests because they were "trained
down too fine. "
There Is nn unfounded popular notion that
obesity of body and obtuscness of mind go
hand In hand. Literature Is full of prover
bial and epigrammatic sayings at the ex
pense of fat people. Charles Dickens' fal
boy Is continually chlded by liH master for
his tendency to sleep and ba stupid. Shakes
peare , as Senator Hill lately reminded us ,
makes Julius Caesar say :
Let me have men about me that are fat :
Sleckhcaded men and such as sleep o'nlght ]
Yond Casslus has a lean and hungry look ;
He thinks too much ; such men are danger
ous.
The term fatltted , signifying mental
dullness , is derived from the same genera !
association of corpulsnce with Inferiority o ]
Intellect. Nevertheless , It Is a matter ol
history that not a few ot Jhe most brilllanl
men have had very corpulent bodies. Epami-
nondas , the Greek states.nia'h and general
was so fat that three men co'uld not encircle
him with their arms. 'Etfols VI. ot Franct
was so excessively fat that'h'a was Biirnamei ]
"Lo Ores , " but he was one , Of the ablest ol
Franch monarchs. Dr.-'lldhnson was cer

The lively Interest exhibited at present In
turnvereln matters was ngaln reflected last
Wednesday evening at the hall. As already
known , this Is the time when members ot
the bear division or senior class meet to
transact the business pertaining to this Insti
tution , which is ot n serio-comic nature.
Invariably the program Is closed with
"gemuethllchkclt" n word which the
English language cannot express and which
signifies sociability , ease and comfort , all In
one , From eighteen or twenty people who
used to put In an appearance on such occa
sions , progress was made to forty and fifty ,
nnd for the last two evenings this number
has swelled to n hundred and more. The
gymnastic exercises preceding the order ol
things were also witnessed by a respectable
number of ladles , who showed the greatest
Interest In physical culture.
When under present conditions the malt
members afterward retire to their cave It I :

dates of their birth , had observed the anciem
custom of providing n collation to be digested
afterward amid fumes from fragranl
Havanas. Among these celebrants wa !
Herman Beselin , nnd It may be said thai
they acquitted themselves well ,
The "canons" had likewise been prt
pared , standlhg ready to pour fcusteunnci
which went Into absorbing depths. The las
vestige of refreshments of nil charade
disappeared under comic recitations and gen
eral Jellifying , so that nothing conducive
to good fellowship was left except "kraut1
and "kolbcn. " Bear evenings have come ti
be more and more appreciated' among Ger

Keen observers say that the practice of
hard drlnklntr I * growing steadily loss
among' Intelligent , self-rocicclliig | men ,
who , while not ttoslng as apostles of re
form , sec the folly of excess , nnd govern
themselves nccordltiRly. Yet the time when
people can get along without nn occasional
stimulant Is ns distant as ever.
It may come when disease Is binl ; 0ioi\
from the earth ; when the body wonv with ,

sidious perils , shall need no help In p-'Mnfl
back all the old-time elasticity nnd vigor.
It will not come before.
The season of snow and slush and Icy
winds Is not far nwny. It Is the time when
the human system Is cruelly tried by
changes of temperature from overheated
rooms to the piercing outer air. Whatever
braces the body , tunes the stomach and
keeps the blood stirring naturally will do
better than cure colds. It will prevent
them.
In Duffy's 1'ure Malt Whiskey nre found
the qualities necessary to produce this rc
suit. It hns kept many a man on his feet
and nt his work when , without It , ha
would hnvo been proitrnted nnd helpless.
Nobody familiar with the properties ol
Duffy's 1'nre Malt ever conf minis It with
the whiskey In common use , for It Is not n
bevernge , but a medicine.
As pueh , It has n place on the house *
keeper's slu-lf ot family remedies , nnd tin
broad-minded physician orders It for tha
patient whoso store ot vitality Is low.
Where disease Is nccompanled by a wastq
of tissues , a stimulant Is always recom
mended , for It gives the body a chance ta
build up. Duffy's I'urc Malt Whiskey does
this wuilc peifectly.
