The proposed new charter for the city ot
Omaha upon which the consolidated revision '
commilee his been Industriously at work
fl for two months past Is practically completed.

visions of a most radical character when

, ' . most conspicuous amCllment Is the one
j ( ' Ji . which provides for the assessment oC prop-
I . - ' \ 1 orty within the limits oC Ito ( city al ls prol- Cul
I. . . 't'rl . ' and fair valuation . This amendment will
' ' I ) ncrease the assessed valuation or Omaha
t tram $20,000.000 to $100,000.000. In round
, r numbers. The tax levy Is Ihntted to 10.8
( mills instead or 60 mills . as allowed under
; d \ the presenl charter. A provision has been
I ; nlhlel giving the city power to issue bonds
i ' . % with which to construct a canal and also

Cass street : Pat HorrIgan , 123 Douglas
street : Jacob Kopald , 73 North Sixteenth
street , and Emi Doemer , 1802 South
Twentieth street. The objection In all these
cases was that the applicants hall sold Ijuor
on Sunday or had obstructed the view Into
their pllees oC business. In the cases or the
two later the protests were Immediately
overruled and licenses granted. The first
three cases \ ere taken under mlvlsement.
The case ot Dick DUTlsh , Tenth Inc
Davenport strets was then taken up , DurlIsh
being charged with keeping open on Sunday.
Omcer Baldwin offered testimony In support
or the charge. I was shown that Durdlsh
had b2en tried on this accusation In police
court and had been discharged.
Before the session closed licenses were
granted to Durlsh , Douglas and Hart. The
disposition or the case or Horrigan was
further deferred , It being specified his saloon
contained wine rooms.
Without protests licenses were Issued to

OMAHA , Dec. 29.-To Daniel Burr ex-
County Agent-Sir : While It has not been
my desire to seek any cheap notoriety through
the press yet 1 feel that . . the exigency L or the
case demands more tHan n passing notice -
tee of the scurrilous attack upon nO-I
official character In an article Inlast even-
Ing's flee ' entitled "An Open Letter to J. J. :
Jenkins. " over the signature oC Daniel Burr ,
nor do I Intend to go Into detail In my reply
thereto further than to disabuse the minds or
any who may have beta misled Into the pre-
sumption that Mr. Burr has any evidence
on his side I Is as remarkable as It It true
that the cnlplo'es or the county , ns n rule ,
only discover what excellent opportunities
they have had to do the PUbliC a great serv-
Ice after their names have been dropped from
the pay roll.
If the stat ments made are truc Mr. Burr
I done the taxpayers or this county a great
injustice In lot exposing un Imllelchablo of-
Injustce
rense more promptly , thus emphasizing the
tact that In Ilspcnslng with Mr. Burr's scrv-
laces the board made ( nistalee
Inowlng : lr. Burr as I tIe , I have no hes-
itancy In saying that thHe Is not the slght-
iancy
est daub but that he could have been Induced .
dueed to overlook these lght discrepancies
In my ofllcial conduct , even nos' In retur
for a favorable consideration or his candidacy -
dacy as county agcnt.
But two luestons ( are raised In Mr. Burr's
letter worth or notice. Tile frt Is In rela-
leter
ton to my having stateit tilat tile short wclght
system waa lnauguratell during his time and
In refutation thereof he directs me to the
record. I Is only necessary for me to Bay
that the record fully sustains my statement ,
giving abundant evidence or shor weights In
every article handled by Mr. Iurr as county
agent save one
Second , as 10 the charge that I have been
tIle means or awarding contracts for certain
supplies . IRmely , flour . to others tlan the
Ibwcst bidders , In this I lust call his at-
tentioli to the fact that his chars lies not
tenton
against le alone , but that It Includes tour
other members of the board and their aI
tioli Is also a mater or record.
ton response to thaI charge , I have only to
tay that It his always been the policy of ,
this board to give prclerelce to goods of
home lllaflllfacttlee. a principle to which I
have always and shah rigidly adhere to , alil
It was to further this end that the board let
the contract for this four to Omaha manufac-
tutors at $ l,10 Iler hundrcd , instead , ot awardIng -
lug It to an outshle dealer at $1.35 , instead or
95 cents as stated by Mr. Burr .
As to any statcmcnt made relative to Mr.
Burr's Intenllc.l .Iepartum . for Texas or an ) '
other point , 1 have no recolecton , nor Is It
material to tile point In questIon .

odor ot escaping gas. There was n rubber
tube running from a gal jet In the center
of the room to the beer cooler 111 ( upon
opening the door oC this beer cooler there
ho discovered Sciiutt's lifeless body.

tube to thc gas jet , while the other ell was
fastened , to a beer faucet By this means
the gas was carried Inside the cooler , where
another small rubber ' tube was Itaehed to
the Caucet. lie had closed all the doors or

drove a nail so ho could close It tight. After
he had turned on the gas froth the outside lIe
closed himself securely In the cooler , ali
traIn the p slton oC the body II was evIdent
that ho hall leld the rubber tube to his
nostrils , inhaling the gas until he was o'er-
core , when he fell back Insensible , the es-
eaplng gas In the course or time completing
the worl ( which ho had planned.
Scilutt , who Is 27 years of age , had a great
many friends among the Gernmans but had
no relatIves In this country except Henry
Elche. His parents who It Is claimed are
well-to-do , live In Germany.
Fred Wagner , I friend oC Schutt's , was ono
or the last persons to see him alive , and
stated tllat. when ho left him Friday night at
about 1 o'clock he was somewhat despondent ,
alI he stated to Wagner that this was his
last day In the saloon business and ho did
not Intend to open up In the morning , he-
cause I was but n short tmo until It would ,
be necessary to get a new license Cram the I

DUTIES OF ChRISTIAN MEN AND WOMEN
The " 'I Iol ot thin Serpent Rll the Gentle
liarnliessncssbf limo lee Are Thln a
Which Ar Neede.I-S'orocIUI
of the l'ulpla.
In n recent discourse entitled "Practical
Thoughts , " Ie , ' . Asa beard , the pastor ot
lno ) Presbyterian church , dwelt at length
upon the duties of Christians , after which he
IlevoteJ some time ( to detaing the work which
rIl to the lot ot the twelve apostles .
The argument was listened to by a large
congregatIon. In haudlng this subject Mr.
Learll said :
"Their names are recorded Here they are
for ordInation . I wonder IC the ) ' would have
stood the test before the church for orllna-
lon today I think somebody would sa ) :
'Why that Judas I n thief , anti Peter will
disgrace the church wih his denial all Ilro-
ranl ) Look al 'homas again , .Ion't know
half the lmo what he hoes believe . John Is
too young and Matthew has a bail ( record. . '
Yes thaI was all true then. lInt Jesus knew
that prely nearly every one of them had the
martyr stuff In thel ,
"Jesus sent them forth lIe sends them to-
dl ) That melns that we go wih authority.
I vour tirl'n ehl . n , I' I " sni'llit . I . I"p""ork
li1 hind ; ' ' better ) - ' give ; " It 'I up i ; , ' for n tlieiiian ; ; ; n vito
Is sent always has instructions. no not for-
get another thliig I ) ' 01 liCe sent yet will
have to render aim account.
"Ah I what a restriction that would be to-
day. Jesus never meant thll lS a filial
charge. A great lan ) ' take It as such , and
say , 'Go not to China , or Africa , or liulia , '
Jesus' filial charge was 1 far better one for
( is. 00 ye Into all the world , ' Be sure thaI
you do this.
"Prcach everywhere. Do not walt for a
chnrch to cal you , or for a Sahbath school
class to choose 'ou. Preach 'as you go'-
about your work , on the street tn the store ,
at school. Don't walt for the endeavor prayer
meetnl as a chance tC tel about Christ.
Tel that young man or thaI young woman
whol YOI meet every day. This will be
preaching as you go.
"What are we to preach about ? 'The king-
dom. ' All about the 1lnldol : Its subjects
Its laws , its conditons and above all its iCIng
"This Is the true philosophy of benevolence ,
and It Is the phiosophy of ChrIstian work as
well. I you have ' nothing to give I Is a
strong Indicaton that you have hot received
anything.
"That was good advIce as they hllI not far
to go nor long to sta ) " . I was home missions
II the fullest sense of the word , They were
going among a people where they were always
welcome. Jesus 1111 not forbid these things
however , when ha gave them their commission -
sion to the foreIgn field. You may need no
speclli 'Ilurse' or ! siiipt' to go over and tel
your neighbor about Christ. but Ie yOU are
going to Africa take hath 'p rse' Rnd -'scrlpt , '
and plent of quinine. To neglect these
things Is to tempt Gdd.
"If we are to do GDd's work ought we not
go among the unworthy as well as the
worthy ? Vest but that Is I vastly different
thing from abldln . Make your abiding
place , your home'lRnd your socIal circle al-
ways with the 'besl anti purest people In
your e tmiinunlty. 'i'our ' .chareter as a
Christian demands this. To the world we are
ambassadors. Wo only associate with godless -
less people for th pllrpose oC bringing them
to Christ
.I Is n very sOlemn thing to preach the
gospel but It 1911 far Torc. solemn thIng to
hear It It 'wI4b"ia.svor ! of life unto leer
or or death Illitofitloathi. The gospel that ;
hear will be I "Itness for or against us.
Which I shall 'be depends on onrselves.
"Don't Imagine the . world Is going to ho
friendly to you. I am always suspicious oC
the mal who has the good will of everybody. '
That Is more than Jesus hind Yes , anti It Is
moro than he said we would have 'Woe unto
you when all men speak well of you. '
"The wolves will try to devour you. They
tried to destroy your Master. The servant
shall nol be greater than his lord.
"After all this Is the great home missionary -
ary lesson. Home missIon work Is to be
done at home , In your own community , In
your own country and among your own
pcople. I
pcople..I Is to be done against obstacles and this-
appointments. Have you 10 pastor ? Are
you not able to support one In your community -
munity ? Then organize 1 Sabbath school
and teach and preach t the people yourself
on Sabbaths. This will bo preaching wIthout
' ' ' . '
'scrlpt' or 'purse.
"Look aCer the poor antI the sIck In your
own communiy : It will be the most practl-
cal sermon you can preach ; the wolves cannot - I
not harm you I you rely on 00,1. , :
)01
"Tho people of your own community are '
wholly dependent upon you for a knowl
edge of the goslel. Remember that tIle
court began at Jerusalem , but also remember
that II Ild IOt end at Jerusalem.
In all our work we need very many times
the wisdom oC the serpent , and always must
we have the gentle harmlessness or the
dove. Just such I missionary Is needed In
your home " and conln unity. Are you filling
that place ?
