TollowlnR a custom of many years' ob
servance , at least ono of the regular serv-
Icei at the Omaha churches yesterday was
given over to the little folks , and Children's
day was celebrated by nearly all of the
Protestant churches. The day has come to
be one of the Institutions of all denomina
tions , and to the little ones Its Importance
Is only second to that of Christmas In
many respects It partakes of the character
of the Uaster celebration , and flowers and
music are the essential features of the serv
ice. In nearly all the churches the pulpit
and organ loft were adorned with potted
plants and blooming flowers , nnd for the day
the pastors occupied a subordinate position
and the children entertained the older folks
with songs and recitations which expressed
the sentiment of the occasion
At the First Presbyterian church an extra
effort was made In the children's Interests.
Mr. John C. Whnrton , superintendent of the
Sabbath school , had general charge of the
exercises , which occupied the place of the
morning service , anil a very attractive pro
gram was largely contributed by the smaller
children of the school The church was
beautifully decorated with blooming phnts
and | > otted palms and ferns. But the feature
which was most attractive to the childish
eye was a miniature ship which was half
concealed beneath a cargo of full blown
roses. During the services this was con
cealed by colored streamers , but at the close
the streamers were lifted , and the ship with
( ta gorgeous burden beguiled the children
Into half suppressed exclamations of asion-
Ishment and delight ,
. A brief opening address was delivered by
Mr , Will Oodso. which was followed by the
Infant class exercises , which consisted of
songs by the class and recitations by Misses
Daisy MarhoU Annie Pugh , Agnes Coolcy.
Dorothea Squires. Marjory Laudordale. Oer-
truile McCormlck , Jtan Falconer and Mary
SchcriiKrhorn. Other young people who par
ticipated In the exercises were Misses Luella -
ella Bradley , Kthel Connnt , Bertha F.iy.
Gertrude Iluspc , Irene Hospe , Llille Tlmms ,
Currle Tustesen , Stella Vodrle , Musters John
Clark , Donald Kennedy , James McCoimlPk ,
Chesterfield Marhoff , Harry Reed , Bras ton
Surson , Cortland Skinner
Mrs. W L Welsh sang "Uy Cool Saloam's
Shady Hill , " after which a number of In
fants were baptised and a short address was
given by the pastor , Rev S B. McCormlck.
At the Ilanscum Park Methodist church
the Children's day services were equally
elaborate , and Included an address by Mr
William Reynolds , national organUer of Sab
bath schools.

At 4 o'clock > estcrday afternoon a large
crowd of Sunday Echool workers and members
of the clergy listened to an entertaining talk
at the Young Men's Christian association
The spcnked vvns lion William Rejnolds of
Chicago , who has achieved a national repu
tation for Improved Ideas of extending Sun
day school work.
Mr. Reynolds said that the catechism was
primarily the little guide to n Christian life
Its questions formed childish opinions that
clung to men and women as a rule from
childhood to death. It was the great moral
educator , and tlid" Very first question and
answer upon Its pages was a brief but splen-
'ithl 8frniDU.tiat , ! ought to be Imbedded In
every human heart.
The speaker alluJeil to the extension of
Sunday school service In Chicago , St. Louis ,
Detroit and other cities and attributed Its
Kratlfylng development and success to the
unity of action. It was due to a Sunday
school union , an organized effort and a house
to house canvass It had been successful In
bringing children to God Then. too. enthusi
asm was maintained In the work by parades
and demonstrations , which aroused youthful
Interest There was unionism In labor , union
ism in beneficiary orders and united effort
In every branch of life , and hence Sunday
schools should not be an exception Interests
should be federated to some extent and a co
operative plan adopted In every city.
Mr. Reynolds urged Omaha Sunday school
workers to form a union and get to work on
a plan similar to the one he referred to.
There should be a canvass , and after the nu
merical strength Justified It there should be a
"rally , " as he termed U , of Sunday school
children , a public parade of citizens of that
kingdom of Jesus Christ There should be
h procetslon of God's soldiers to Impress the
public lust as much an political processions ,
military drills and the like. It would draw-
other children closer to the heart of the Ile-
deemcr and keep them In the right path
Sunday schools made good men and good
\\omcn. This country spsnt too much money
on conviction of criminals. It should spend
more on Sunday echools and thus obviate the
pthor expenses. The catechism would be a
sign board that would steer people away
Xroni the callous , if properly applied and
heeded. Boys should bo raised to be gooil
cltlzeni , and not raised for the rope's
strangling rebuke to crime. There ahould be
more public Interest. In Sunday schools and
the BumViy school workers should unite In co
operating for the general good of the soul-
saving service. Sunday schools were nur
series of character.
It U probable that a unity of actlor
among Sunday school workers will be the
result of Mr. Hejnolds' suggestion , and then
ID every probability that prompt organlzallor
In this respect will ba perfected.

Presbyterian church yesterday. Ills tex
was John xll , 32. Ho said In part-
These words were spoken by Jeius In tin
temple at Jerusalem 011 the third day o
the week , just before the Pas&over of th
Jews. There wore gathered In that city grea
crowds of people. Home. Curlnth , Calm
Alexandria , Antloch , Itabvlon and the cltlt
of the known world were represented b ;
come of their JewUh population at this grea
feast , and many dentlle converts to the tru
religion of the true God were aUo among th
attendants on theseceremonies. . There wer
come Greeks In the temple , and they askci
Andrew and Philip to see Jtsus. And we ar
warranted from the circumstances In Infer
ring that these words of the text wer
poken to those Inquiring Greeks. Thephras
"if I be lifted up from the eartli" has beci
Interpreted to mean , by tome , the resurrectloi
of Christ : by others , the ascension and exalta
tlou of Christ , but the correct Interprctatloi
U found In the verse following , where th
writer of this gospel sas that Jesus sal
tills to signify the manner of his death o
the crosi. and the concise thought of th
verse then ls the "attraction of the cross.1
My theme therefore Is. "The Nature an
Kxtent of the Attractive Power of Our Cruel
fled Lord. "
The nature of the power Is Intel'ectua
The mind of each generation for the lae
l.fcOQ yours has been held on the life an
crucifixion of Christ. The question , " \\'h
was thin Jesus of Nazareth ? " recurs to th
Huccejslva generations , and It la with cci
ttlnty answered , "He Is the Son of Mai
Ron of God , the Christ , the savior of th
\vorld. "
Many questions have been settled final !
by the.early fathers of the Christian churc
who were the peers In Intellect of tlie mod
ern thinker and whose opinions have with u
conclusive weight , but on the foundation c
our belief each one must settle for hltnsel
what he thinks of Christ , in this determine
tion the human mind grapples With the groal
cRt subjects tliat can engage It , and the cei :
tor cf the mental attraction la Christ , th
crucified Savior ,
This power ti also moral The- world tin
ever been seeking a perfect pattern of marc
conduct. The ancient nattoni had their pi I
terns in their heroes vhcse standard c
morality % vas both Imperfe-t and Impur ; , an
wits
would not have admitted them Into our
friendship nnd homes. When Voltaire was
asked by a young man of ono of the Huro-
pean courts to paint him to an ancient here
that would be a pattern for his conduct that
skeptical man of the world replied that he
know of only ono and that waa a man of
Galilee , Jesus of Nazareth. The teachings of
the Naiareno will , If followed , solve the so
cial problems that are now agitating society.
Ho It the only perfect exemplar of conduct ,
Tula power Is spiritual , U Is the unseen
force that Is guiding the civilization of
Christendom. U Is the lifting Influence that
Is today causing the evangelization of the
world , and enabling the spiritual man to
crucify the flesh and subdno the evil motive.
The extent of this power U universal. The
word "men , " after nil , li supplied by the
translators , and Is their Interpretation of
"all. " H h preferable to take the word "all"
without limitation simply to "men " 1 want
to t'nlnk of It In n wider meaning I want to
think of It as broad as I can. It is by this
power that we banish enmity from our
hearts and enemies are made friends. It Is
by this power that we as straying children
nro led back to our Heavenly Father's house
and are reconciled to God , our Father. It
Is by this power of the crucified Savior that
wo must meet our friends that have passed
ovtr to dwell In some of these many man
sions that are prepared for them t'nat love
Jesus Christ , our Lord.

OMAHA , Juno 7. To the Horse ndltor of
he Bee I would like to ask you why we
oor beasts arc HO badly punished In this city ,
here so much horse talk Is being wasted
bout greater supply of water. I nm sure
speak the mind of every horse In the city
hen I say It Is shameful to deny us poor
elplesa animals a drink of water I work
nest all day and often It Is my delight to
nke my kind master and his family out for
drive these fine warm evenings. How
ften I have been suffering for a drink of
eel water when there Is none to be had'
11 the public watering tanks that vvere fet
p a few years ago for our accommoda-
on are dry.
A few evenings ago my master nnd family
cro out for a drive. They stopped nt a
aterlng trough at Jefferson spuare to let
le drink , but there was no water. My
naster patting me. said "Never mind , Jim ,
ou will get plenty at the next place. " We
ent along to Nineteenth street and St.
ilcry's avenue. Again I was disappointed.
heard my kind mistress ask my master
ivhy there was no water In the troughs
or poor horses this hot weather. My mas-
cr said the city council long ago ordered
.rater turned on In all the troughs the 15th
f April. He said ho knew where there
vas water for me. nnd drove up to Far-
am street opposite a large building , I
icard some one say was the city hall. There
ere four other horses waiting for a drink ,
iut when the first one was done drinking the
up was empty. Then my master was
ngry and drove out to Twenty-second and
Cumlng streets He told my mistress that
urely there would be water there , but no ,
hire was a nice large trough , but no water
My master v\as at last compelled to stop
t a big store and ask for a bucket of water ,
nd a man with a white apron came out with
he water , and told my master to bring the
mcket Inside. Then my master told my
mistress that when we water horses In
) maha nowwe must patronize saloons To-
ay I was down town and stopped at the city
iall door. My master told another man that
10 was going In to pay his taxes. I thought ,
, vhat is he paying taxes for' He has to
iay taxes for keeping me , and for water , and
et I cannot get a drink unless I nm stopped
n front of a saloon , and when hit family
with him he don't like to do that I
, \lsh , Mr ndltor , I could tell you what I
heard from other hon.es. but I suppose all
ioor horses in Omaha suffer for water. Can
ou tell us how to get relief ?

Woodmen of the World of Nebraska Observe
Their Memorial Dayt
FIFTEEN HUNDRED IN THE PROCESSION
Not Deterred by Itnln They March to
Ilnnscom Park W here n Monument la
Uuvollecl nnd thr ICItuul of
thu Order Itcud ,
In splto of the warm rain , notwithstand
ing their dripping banner * and soaked rai
ment and the muddy psvements ankle deep
with the rushing water which the clouds
poured down , fully 3,000 Woodmen of the
World marched through the storm beaten
streets yesterday and celebrated the Me
morial day of their order nl Ilnnscom park
The day was the sixth anniversary of the
founding of the order and the Omaha , camps
had made every arrangement to make the
occasion the most notable In the lot"al his
tory of woodcraft. And although the ele
ments seemed leagued against them , nothing
was lacking for the success of the occa
sion except the Immense crowd of specta
tors that pleasant weather would have
brought out to witness the ceremonies. The
Woodmen themselves did not flinch. They
held their ground against thu pelting rain
and carried out every detail of their pro
gram as faithfully as though the skies had.
smiled their brightest.
U may bo doubted whether nn affair of
the sort was ever carried out more success
fully In the face of so many obstacles. It
was only a few days ago that the local
Woodmen conceived the Idea of making the
celebration so elaborate Committees were
hutrledly appointed and the preliminaries
were perfected with remarkable celerity The
ther Nebraska camps vvete communicated
with and It was only at the last moment
hat any estimate could be made of the num-
er of visiting Woodmen that they would be
: alled on to entertain It was then expected
.hat 1,500 visitors would be In line , and In
iplto of the soaking rain fully that number
narched under their banners In the parade
csterday afternoon.
NKBIIASKA CAMPS IlEPHnSENTED.
It was not until a little after noon that
he last special train with Its load of Wood
men pulled In , and It was 1 30 before the
camps were In readiness for the start. None
if the Iowa camps attended , with the cxcep-
lon of those from Council Bluffs , as a slinl-
ar celebration at Slgourney 3iad a first call
upon their attention. But the Nebraska
amps turned out In full force. Falls City
ent 200 Woodmen , Llnco'.n was represented
by half that number , Stella and Verdon sent
00 each , nnd Nebraska City , Blair , Cal-
lioun. Auburn , Salem , South Omaha and a
o/en other Nebraska towns swelled the total
o fully 1,500
The visitors were hospitably received at
Myrtle hall by the local reception commlt-
eo and entertained until the hour for the
parade to start. The parade fell into line
on Thirteenth , Fourteenth and Fifteenth
treets , fronting on Douglas. John T. Kuhns
ivas marshal of the day , and he was as
sisted by C P Leary. P. Sweeney and P. J.
Ncpodahl of Omd'na , Captain Kelly of South
Omaha and H. A Grlnstead of Salem The
Salem band of twenty pieces accompanied
Uurr Oak camp of that city , and the Sev
enth Ward band of Omaha , together with
ho two South Omaha bands , ono from Coun
cil Bluffs and a mixed band from Council
Bluffs and Omaha , furnished a band for each
division. The parade occupied forty minutes
n passing a given point and constituted one
of the finest bodies of men that has been
seen In line In Omaha.
The clouds hail been Impending all the
.vhlle . the divisions vvero forming , and they
had not 'covered half the distance to the
park when the big drops began to fall. Then
the shower became copious , and many of the
marchers dropped out and sought shelter.
But the ranks "were quickly closed np , and
fully half the Woodmen remained In line
until their destination was reached.
MEMORIAL MONUMENT UNVEILED.
In the shaded valley that runs through the
center of Ilnnscom park the Memorial day
monument stood guard over a mound of
sodded earth , crowned with huge bunches
of roses and lilies. The monument was a
single slab of granite/ which bore the In
scription. "In Memory of Our Deceased
Sovereigns , " and on the base the simple
legend , "A Woodman. "
The Woodmen filed Into their positions
surrounding the veiled monument and while
a sea of umbrellas protected them In part
from the dripping rain the beautiful ritual of
the order was read by Council Com
mander George C. Thompson , Adviser
O. P. Black and Banker George S. Meek of
Alpha camp No. 1 , and the music was fur
nished by the Seventh Ward band and the
Alpha male quartet. At the close of the
ceremonies Sovereign Thompson drew the
covering from the monument and the band
played "Nearer My God to Thee , " while
the ranks were broken and the audience ad
journed to the pavilion , -where the address of
the day was delivered by Sovereign A. W ,
Jefferis of this city.
Mr. Jefferis said that the devotion with
which the WooQmen had marched through
such a storm was a more eloquent portrayal
of their devotion to their order than he
could utter. Scarcely a man had fallen out
of line , and It was a striking Instance of
the fidelity of Woodmen to each other. Con
tinuing , the speaker spoke briefly In regard
to the principles and purposes ofnho order.
Its object was not the acquisition of wealth
to distribute , among Its stockholders , butte
to bring happiness nnd good cheer to the
homo of Its members. U had a still higher
object , for It Entered the cottage door to
bring succor and consolation to the bereaved
and no member of tho- order could ever Us
In a pauper's grave or leave his family un
relieved.
A song by the quartet completed the pro
gram , .nnd just as the clouds began to break
away the Woodmen "broke ranks , and the
visitors were escorted to the depots , where
they took their trains for the return trip ,
Among the gufests of the occasion were five
of the sovereign officers , J. C. Hoot , sov
ereign commander ; J. T. Yates , sovereign
clerk ; F. F. Ilooso , sovereign banker , W. O
Rogers , sovereign physician , and John Me-
Cllntoclc , sovereign escort.

Ex-Senator , , , Sooner | of Wisconsin tolls In
the Chicago Times-Herald a good story ,
showing that" the" bigness of the heart of the
late Judge Daj Davis was big In proportion
to the size < trtlitt rest of his body :
Judge DavtejTOB traveling on his circuit
and while hfldUv { > court In ono of the In
terior towns hvns Impressed with the woful
visage of ( UldcD nilnnt , . whoso case being
called , arosuj.aml said : "Judge , I wish If
vou could you vvould put this case off. "
"Haven't TOU 'ti lawyer to speak for you ? "
"Yes , JudgV , but ho ain't here anil I can't
find him notvbcre. "
"Your honor , we are ready for trial on be
half of the plaintiff , " said an filJ member of
the bar , "and we Insist upon going on with
the case "
"Judge , " Bald the defendant , "please put
It off. "
The appeal was so plaintive that the court
said "Let It go over until tomorrow , and
be sure to have your lawyer here"
The next day the case was called again ,
and the lean , lank defendant arose again
"I'm mighty sorry. Judge , but mo an ! mother
can't find that lawyer darn him nowhere
We have hunted all over town. They say
ho Is on a spree and won't get over It for a
week. But this Is n mighty plain case and
I can tell you all about It "
The lawyer on the other side made no ob
jection nnd so the case wa heard. The
plaintiff , with hU attorney , presented their
side of the question to the court and jury ,
and It seemed very plain to all that the de
fendant under the law must lose his farm.
"Well , what Is your side of the case , "
said the judge , alter the p'alntlff got through.
The defendant got up and In a stumbling
way said "Well , judge , I'll tell you the
whole story. ME and mother have lived on
that farm for nigh on forty years. It's all
she's got in the wide world It wasn't much
of a place when she got It , and It ain't a
'ancy ' farm , but It Is all me and mother have.
.Iy . father died the year the war broke out
and we burled him under the big apple tree
n the meddcr. Three of our boys went Into
.he war nnd loft me with mother. Hiram ,
le got killed down In Missouri They sent
ilm home , and wo laid htm under the apple
irce. John was shot at Tort Donclson and
me and mother burled him. Then Thomas ,
ho got taken prisoner , and was kept In
Audcrsoiivillo nigh on ten mouths until he
tv as nothtn' but skin and bone Me and
mother went to meet him when ho got ex
changed , and. If you believe me , judge , I did
not know the boy , nor mother neither. We
brought him back to the old place , howsum-
ever , and tried to g ct him well , but 'twarnt
no good. He sickened nnd slkcncd nnd died.
and thar he Is under the apple tree Now.
'tidgc , mo and mother set a lot o' store by
, he old place , and 'twould Just about kill the
old lady , let alone me , If we lose It Of
course , we owe the money , and we'd do
most anj thing to pay It , but I leave It to
you , judge , and you men on the jury. If
' .hoy ought to take that farm away from us "
In telling { he story Judge Davis said
'Before that fellow got through almost
everybody In court had tears In their eyes
One of the ablest lawyers In the state was
counsel for the plaintiff , and there was no

IN A BOAT.
Idvciiturcn of Jueo 'lon In the Colorado
Hlilmr IlupldH.
A remarkable -trip was made recently by
Gustavo SchuUzj the well known marinennd
andscape artist ; , 'wth | two young companions ,
'i. Foster and , John 'William Keenan , says
a San Diego cjjrriispondent of the-'San Fran
cisco Kxamindfy They left here March 28
and have spen the Intervening time In a
five weeks' trip clown the Colorado river ,
Schultz In qutat W striking landscapes and
the young fellows. In search of adventure.
All got more tmttrthejr bargained for , as the
river was teu-feot higher than usual on
account of'intlllnE-snows
They wont aboVe Needles , made a boat ,
stocked it wUbfjirovlslons , and started boldly
down the river. None had much experi
ence in shooting the rapids , but they are
now veterans In the business. They made
their way qulto well the first day , but
trouble began early , and danger was their
companion all the way to Yufna.
One of the first dangerous experiences
was In White Canyon , where a sudden turn
In the river revealed th gloomy canyon
walls and the water running like a mlllrace.
A solitary rock was In the middle of the
boiling waters and the men saw a mon
strous eddy on either side. They did their
best to keep In ths middle , but the unwieldy
craft failed to answer the helm and began
to circulate so swiftly that the occupants
were rendered dizzy and nothing could be
done.
Following the current the boat swept
around the rock and tip on the other side ,
when the men were astonished to see the
struggling waters forcing them upward
against the current to the place of starting.
Then down again they plunged , only to
repeat the operation , when the boat struck
the edge of the rock , swerved its nose aside
and , like a flash , was shot out of the in
fluence of the eddy and into the still -water.
AH was done in a few moments , but the
men fell back exhausted and floated down
stream.
The next exciting experience was in Red
canyon , where the mad waters had cut an
Immense cave In the solid rock wall , in
which a whirlpool gathered trees , snags
and the boat with Its three occupants.
There a similar flght was made , with slm-
vlar result. After reaching smooth water
the boat was run to the bank and Keenan
jumpad ashore to make fast The trach-
, - . < .Q | . - .i { ' > oiiph h ni-'ni ; hli * trees nnd
apparently solid , gave v jy , and the young
. . . < u. .o in. , i > , uio , almost drowning
before Schultz nnd Foster reached him
Schultz said the river was treachcious
above any other quality. There Is an Im
mense quantity of soluble matter 'in the
water , and the constantly changing channel
made the work of Irrigation uncertain , am
Schultz predicts that the mouth of the greal
canal now under construction to Irrigate
the Colorado desert will be choked with mm
and that the project can never be made a
success.
Dm Ing the trip the voyagers found a
petrified forest , witnessed the cremation o
an Indian at a friendly rancherla , hai
numerous hair-breadth escapes , passed the
famous deserted city of La Paz , formerly
containing 15,000 Inhabitants , and Schult ?
secured twenty sketches for paintings o
what he says Is the most picturesque wilt
country he ever saw.
