"If I Were a Girl" was the theme of
ftev. Dr. Beans' discourse at the Seward
Street Methodist church last evening. The
following Is a synopsis of the sermon :
Jf I were a girl , with a wort'ny ambition
to make the most and best of myself for
both worlds , with the experience of C.OOO
years of the world's history to guide me , I
would bring great emphasis to bear upon
the scrupulous care of my health. As con
ducive to personal beauty , and as the basis
of securing and preserving that physical
strength so essential to happiness and suc
cess In life , I would cultivate as my boon
companions this quartet of benefactors , loose
clothing , wholesome food , early rising , out
door exercise.
Jf I were a girl , coveting earnestly the
best gifts and desiring to rise above the
common drift of humanity , I would secure
the best mental furnishing possible. I
would go to college ; I would rend wholesome
books ; I would keep Informed concerning
the current events of the day. and bo able to
converse Intelligently upon them.
Thcro Is a peculiar excellence , a subtle
aureole of beauty , that envelops a woman
when she cuts loose from the dissipations ,
the frivolities , the superficialities , the parrot
phrases , the simpering nonsense , the paint ,
powder and perfume , tlie ohs and a'ns , and
languishing sighs and genuflections that
make up tlin sti.nlc In trade of distinctively
fashionable lid , and begins to gravitate
toward stii'ly and Investigation and an
earnest laying hold of the practical problems
of real life.
If 1 were a girl , having right views of my
God-ordalncd mission as a home builder , I
would seek to bccomo an adept In the dllfi-
cult , yet most beneficent , art of housekeeping ,
and become mistress of the kitchen , the
laundry and the wardrobe , as well as queer
of the parlor.
God has placed a rare endowment of powet
In the liands of every girl. The potent
agencies that sway the universal heart ol
the race are meekness , gentleness , kindness
tact , Intuition , Icve. The low spoken word
the approving smile , the falling tear , the
eloquence of affection are more powerful tt
guldo and hold In right paths than the sharf
command , the loud tone , the flashing eye
the frown , Hie threat , the angry look , the
clenched fist. Miriam , a 11-year-old girl
sister of Moses , by her loving care over hei
baby brother , committed to his boat crib , bj
her shrewd suggestion to Pharaoh's daugh
ter , when the weeping babe Is lifted fron
the ark of rushes , plays an important part It
the deliverance of her race. A little captlvi
maid , waiting on Naoman'n wife , directs tin
great Syrian captain to t'uo source of re
covery from his leprosy and sets In motloi
a mighty train of events.
Ruth's love-prompted speech to Naom
has become the synonym of deathless devo
tlon for all the ages.
Esther's tact and heroic self-sacrifice , am
reliance upon God , brought deliverance ti
her Imperiled people , and placed her gold
encircled picture among the beautiful hero
Incs of humanity.
These are iilnts at the possibilities of serv
ice placed within the reach of a girl.
The religion of Jesus Christ holds In It
wondrous clasp every excellence for over :
girl. Good health "Length of days Is li
her right hand. " Riches "And her lei
hand riches. " Education "A good under
standing have all they that keep my prc
cepts. " Happiness "Happy Is every on
that rctalncth her. " Promotion "Exalt he
and she will promote thec. " Honor "Sh
will bring t'.iee ' to honor when thou dost em
brace her. " Beauty "She will give t
thlno head an ornament of grace. " Glory-
"A crown of glory shall she deliver to the ? .
The most direct way to straighten out th
tangles of life , to become rightly adjusted t
all Its complications , to move out and foi
ward and upward In harmony with the Silgr.
cat law. Is to surrender heart and life t
Jesus Christ. As long as you postpone thi
supreme duty and obligation and prlvlles
you postpone heroic achievement and th
goal of complete blessedness Is unattained.

Dr. Siuicierion I'rouclies to Veterunft au

Impressive memorial services were held t
the Trinity Methodist church yesterda
morning , the largo audlcnco complete !
packing the church. The drapery of flac
was very tasteful , wholly covering the alia
pieces and the walls behind. Stacks (
guns were set upon cither side of the alto
and a large stuffed eagle was perched abov
the center , giving the whole a warlike a |
pearanco. Tha decorations 'were ' furthe
made realistic ; by the fact that several sma
trees had been erected upon the platfon
In the background.
The veterans of U. . S. Grant post No. 1
of the Grand Army ot the Republic wei
out In full force and given special seats I
a body In the front of the audience chan
ber. Members of Relief Corps were all
present to listen to the services , which he
been especially arranged by Rev. F. H. Sai
derson , D.D. , In recognition of the day. 1
the musical selections were embraced tt
Christian war hymns , such as "Onwnr
Christian Soldiers , " "Stand Up for Jesus ,
and the national anthem , "My Country ! 'T
of Thee. " Upon a neatly printed progra :
banded to each of the soldiers were ti
scribed beautiful passages from Bishop Nev
man , President Lincoln , Wendell Phillip
Henry Ward Beechc-r and Generals Gra ;
and Logan , recognizing the justice ot tl
war against slavery.
A welcome to the veterans was read
these words :
"While In this memorial service we off
our tribute of love and gratitude to yoi
martyred comrades , wo welcome and co
gratulate you veterans as survivors of tl
greatest war of history. You , like thei
acted well your part In the great nation
tragedy , and wo felicitate ourselves and yi
upon your presence hero today. God ble
the living heroes ! May your last days
your best days , and when the darkness
the final night falls , may there bo light
light with a clear sky. "
Dr. Sanderson's address was deliver
from the- words , "This day shall be unto y <
for a memorial. " It was replete with clas
teal allusions and reminiscences of the grr
battla scenes of the world from the da
of Marathon down to the war of the i
belllon , He concluded by saying that
desired not so much to pronounce a par
gyrlo for the dead as for the living at tl
time , and said It was proper to give the
credit for having stamped out slavery a :
removed this foul blot from the natlot
flag.
MICAMNO OF CHRIST'S ASCUXSIC

At the Church of St. Philip the Deacon yi

the Anglican communion vindicates her claim
to being an Integral port of the general cath
olic church. The church year enabling us to
follow Christ's career Is a wonderful help In
giving duo prominence to events which we
might overlook. Christmas , Easter , the As
cension , Whitsunday and Trinity emphasize
events and doctrines.
The ascension did not occur until forty day *
after the resurrection. Various theories have
been advanced to explain this delay. Many
are Ingenious and fanciful. Some have rea
soned that His body was passing through "a
slow and physical purification. " This Is fanci
ful. Good reasons obtain for Ills post-resur
rection sojourn , evidential mainly. It con
vinced His dltclrles that they were not de
luded. It explodes "the grost theory" of scof
fing skeptics. It allowed time for teaching
the apostles those "things pertaining to the
kingdom of God" which hitherto they were
unable to receive. Preparation for the gift
of the Holy Ghost was thus made. God prepares -
pares man for His revelations.

disciples out to Olivet , and , raising Ills hand. ;
In benediction , "Ho blesses them and as

This truth dignifies human nature. The

There WBL trouble of monstrous proportions
Saturday night on Seventeenth between Cen
ter and Hickory streets , which trouble was
the result of the. well placed efforts of a
dog. This neighborhood is noted for the dogs
of all kinds.colors , sizes and characteristics
that Infest It , but the dog that played the
tide role last night was a big white bull
dog , which It is claimed belongs to a man
named Jack Hey , who lives close by. He
gained n number of new enemies by his pro
ceedings , and It Is probable that ho will soon
be playing a star role In a canlno heaven.
A surprise party was given by friends to
Mrs. Lester , who lives where the trouble oc
curred. The party was about thirty strong
and everything went ns merry as a marrlag =
bell until nearly midnight. At that t'nn Mrj.
Slusher , one of the merry-makers , stepped
outside the front door to see how the weather
was getting along. That big white dog was
sitting across the street waiting- for some
thing to turn up , and , ns soon as he saw the
woman come out of the house , he went foi
her. Mrs. Slusher did not see him until he
was upon her , nnd then threw up her am :
before her face. The dog made a leap anc
fastened his fangs In her wrist. Her screams
summoned her companions , nnd for several
seconds bricks , sticks , feet and other article ;
were thrown at him , but he held on. Flnallj
a couple of men grabbed him around the nccl
and threw him off. While the party wen

BEFORE BECK WAS READY
Served by a Display of Arms Without Any
thing to Put in Them ,
SHOWING WHICH PROViD SUFFICIENT
Some Fncti Itctprctlng Ilfo of the Imilnni
at the Agency Contrnsl lletitctn
Uinnha and Wlnnebngos Tilt
rrogrcsslvo Ones.
The fact that arms and ammunition have
arrlvca at Bancroft conslgiica to Captain
Beck of the Wlnnebago Indian agency dis
solves secrecy with respect to the equip
ment at the agency , before they reached
their destination. Captain Heck now Is
prepared. In the past he has been abso
lutely helpless.
Everybody readily recalls the war cloud ,
at Tender and the bristling attitude of Cap
tain Deck and his Indian police. Winches
ters were stacked around the agency and
from all surface Indications the captain was
well heeled to "carry the war Into Africa"
and annihilate any sheriff's posse that ever
attempted to cross the little hills of the
reservation. The truth of the matter Is
that the agency was practically defenseless ;
the Winchesters of the Indian police were
empty.
When Captain Deck's Indian policemen ,
Sam Elk and Jim Blackhawk , were recently
left behind In the house where they were
subsequently surrounded and arrested by
Sheriff Mullln , those two policemen had all
the ammunition In their possession , with
the exception of five cartridges that there
was at the disposal of the Indian police
force. It Is true that many Winchesters ,
ominous looking even when empty , were
at the agency , but had there bsen a conflict
they would hiive been as worthless as toy
guns , because there were only thirty-eight
cartridges all told at the agency as late
as May 5 , and some of these were borrowed.
When this was ascertained the commander
of "Fort Wlnnebago" admitted that It was
a stupenduaus bluff which had been so suc
cessful In arousing the I'endcrltes to the
organization of a sheriff's posse armed to
the teeth. Furthermore , he said that the
scarcity of ammunition and Inadequate fa
cilities for a fight. If such proved the sequel
of his enforcement of orders from the In
terior department , was the prime cause of
the delay In evictions , but that the ammuni
tion would soon arrive. The expacted con
signment , consisting of 2,000 rounds and
more guns , Is said to have reached Ban
croft the other day.
llEAL HAND HELD. '
But during all the bristling , warlike
controversy of months Captain Beck has
been bluffing with a fighting fores of twenty-
two men and thirty-eight cartridges , not
enough powder to burn for two volleys If
fired by the full numerical strength of the
Indian police. This and three revolvers
carried by the agency employes was the
total available war provision at Wlnnebago
agency.
Captain Beck also confirmed the suspicion
that the great parade of Indian guards at
the agency when he paid off the Omahas
was another Instance of empty guns. It
will be remembered that the captain and ths
cash box of Uncle Sam , containing $25,000 ,
was escorted to the paymaster's office by
an "armed" array of Indian police with
ugly looking Winchesters , which was In It
self a sight calculated to Inspire terror In
the hearts of any robber.
Now , upon that occasion among all the
dozen Indian police which acted as a guard
only three cartridges were In the crowd.
The remainder of the rifles were as empty-
as a man's pocket after attending a church
fair.
fair.When
When asked why he was so utterly In
capacitated to- repel an attack , the Indian
agent said that ho had been reluctant tc
stock up with too much ammunition. It
was a regrctable fact that the Indians could
get all the whisky they wanted In the sur
rounding towns of Ponder , Decatur , Ban
croft and Lyons. Bootleggers smuggled
them liquor In splto of all vigilance to pre
vent It. A loaded Winchester in the hands
of a loaded Indian would have a tendency tc
fatten cemeteries. The captain did not care
to assume the responsibility of creating ar
arsenal at the agency until he received ad
ditional Instructions from Washington to dc
j so. The result Is now a complete equip
ment and an Indian police force to bo In
creased to fifty men If necessary.
CHERISHING A FEUD.
The Omahas are a progressive tribe ol
Indians. There Is not much love lost be
tween the Omahas and the Wlnnebagos
duo to a feud which has been handed dowr.
from their ancestors. The original quarre ,
between the tribes was over the stealing ol
a drove of cattle , in which the Wlnnebago !
were the aggressors. Although years have
passed the breach has never healed. Tin
Omahas arc distinguished from their neigh
bors by the shape of their chins and genera
facial outlines. The Wlnnebago has a rawboned -
boned visage and largo features , while th (
Omahas have comparatively a more reflnei
and Intellectual appearance. In point o :
cleanliness neither excels the other , am
the Indifference to soap Is on an equitabli
basis. There are , however , a number o
notable exceptions where members of eacl
tribe have elevated themselves above thi
common level and discarded tribal character
Istlcs. When an Omaha or Wlnnebago In
dlan does get a sufficient taste of civilization
to become more In touch with Amcrlcanlzei
ideas of recent date he generally compare !
favorably with the white brother. For In
stance , Judge Chase of the county court a
Ponder Is a gentleman of refined tastes
shrewd and thoroughly seasoned with goo <
citizenship. Judge Chase has Omaha bloo <
In his veins and fulfills his judicial dutlci
with a dignified proficiency which command
the respect and admiration of the people o
Thurston county.
PILCHER AS A POLITICIAN.
Joe Pllcher Is an Omaha who got a toucl
of political fever and was overjoyed whei
ho was made a member of the Thurstoi
county delegation to the state republlcai
convention last year. Joe speaks good Eng
llsh and Is a protege politically of Wllllan
E. Peebles of Pender , who brought the In
dlan to Omaha to the convention to cxhlbl
him largely as an up-to-dato Indian , wh
knew a thing or two about the ways tha
ore peculiar to politicians. In the midst o
his exuberance Mr. Peebles introduced Jo
to a prominent republican who was at tha
time a candidate for the gubernatorla
nomination. Joe's favorite ejaculation whei
he desired to be particularly Impressive wa

Mr. Peebles stood a few feet away smllln

know and I will be glad to do It. "
The untutored red man Improved the of

Union Sunday memorial services were held
at the First Methodist church yesterday
forenoon , The handsome edifice was beau
tifully decorated. On the platform , which
was banked with ferns and lilies , sat Rev.
Mr. Dawson , pastor of the church , Rev.
Gideon , pastor of the Albright Methodist
church , Rev. Dr. Wheeler , pastor of the
First Presbyterian church , and Rev. C. C.
Smith , pastor of the First Baptist church.
Grand Army men to the number of fifty
occupied the body of the church. The choir
opened the services by singing "America , "
and then Rev. C. C. Smith Invoked divine
blessing. Rev. Gldoon read a scripture
lesson and Elder J. W. Wilson of the Chris
tian church made the memorial address.
Among other things ho said :
"Who are these arrayed In blue , and from
whence are they , and why are they thus
distinguished ? Through much tribulations
are they with us today. Once a part of the
soldiery of this nation , for all that the flag
means , for all that 1)1033 ) stars and stripes
stand for , these men have contended. On
the field of desperate battle , on the field of
blood , on the field of death. But whence
come the enemy ? Wo hcsltato to make
answer , so terrible Is the fact. Not n for
eign foe , but brothers of ths same house
hold , members of the same government ,
born under the same flag , pledged to the
same defense , that you , dear comrades , have
offered upon the nation's altar.
" 'Wo must reap of what wo have sown'
declares a fact eternal as the author quoted.
The terrible civil struggle through which we
passed was the legitimate product of what
had been sown.
"In the person of an old man frenzied
almost to Insanity because of the nation's
great sin and shame ; his soul on tire of
that spirit that ( Its men as leaders and
martyrs In great reforms ; In this man 'we
have the forerunner of a new and wondrous
ministry. How like a prophet did this man
speak while taking his final farewell of his
friends. To the Jailer he said , 'My life Is
not lost. This sacrifice Is not In vain. For
from every partlclo of dust of which my
body Is composed there will arise ten John
Browns. '
"Now the echo of this prophecy had not
died away till the boom of cannon pro
claimed the attack on Sumter. Civil war
with all Its terrible consequences was upon
us. Here the exact situation was not hard
to discern. Shall this people , Insane of
the reward of oppression , sever this nation
and proclaim the American republic a failure
'
ure ? Or shall the 'union of states be pre
served ? Shall the old flag wave over n
divided people ? Shall one of those stars be
plucked therefrom ?
"Where the question of supporting' the
right becomes momentous , then every step
taken becomes vitally Important and every
participant a hero. The men who made up
the volunteer army stepped to the front
with 'Here am I ; send me. ' These men saw
the awful sacrifices demanded. Yet , In the
language oil Leonldas to Ills Spartan band ,
the decision was : 'Wo ewe this sacrifice to
our country. ' Hence , In an Incredibly short
time there sprang Into existence the grand
est army of men that ever followed a flag.
"Four long years these men stood , a
personal and voluntary offering , protectlnu
homo and loved cnes , bequeathing the price
less boon of psrsonal liberty to every man ,
woman and child of this nation. Pregnant
Indeed were these four years with Incidents ,
labors , results and achievements. The
American nnlon Is preserveJ. The old flag
so dear to every patriot Is honored and ex
alted and our national character purged of
the blight of human servitude.
"Sin Is a proof to any people , but right
eousness exalteth a nation , but wo never
can .arise as a nation and bccomo exalted
until wo choose righteous and God -fearing
men to fill our public omccs. The nation
wants men , large hearted and manly men.
The age wants heroes who shall dare to
struggle In the solid ranks of truth and
strike every mrnstcr evil down. "
Memorial services were held at the First
Presbyterian church last evening. Rev. Dr.
Wheeler occupied the chair. Special music
of a patriotic character was rendered by the
choir.
Mr. Samuel P. Brlgham made an address
and was followed by A. A. Monroe , superln
tendent of the public schools , The service
was well attended , even in splto of the
storm.
