EAST OMAHA MAN'S STORY. But very little has developsd In the cis locally , although detectives are vvorkln upon It. One Important pJeca of evidence however , has been found which will prob ably c'nnect Claycomb more closely vUtl the grave robbery. The evidence is fur nlshed by n Swede , a resident of East Omaha whose name la not disclosed by the police. H Is said that this man will swear tha very early last Thursday morning , -wlill on his way home on the island , he met a tenin going In the same direction. Us ac costed the. driver , asking for a ride. Th driver readily aereed to the request. Th linn climbed. . Into the wagon and took a neat upon one o' two trunks tlmt occuplei It. lie went as far as his home , but the wagon went on east to the bridge. It I Mated that the man cm positively Identlf } the driver , who Is supposed to have beei Clnycomb. , The cofilns which formerly contained the rtead bodies found in the trunks have bcci sent to Des 'Molnes The bodies will be once more iciiltoed In them and they will be ic turned t * this city. A detective of Den Molne-R , who pissed through tha city this mornltiK. stated that the lower legs of the bodies were tightly bound to the thigh" while the i cks of both vveio broken In oidec to allow them to bo crowded Into the rcccpta-les which contained them.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS Two matters of Importance will come up at the meeting of the city council this even- Ing. It Is expected that the jud'clary ' com mittee will mate n report on the rominu- nlcitlon presented to the council at Its last meeting by B. Jetter. The other matter of Importance Is the question of obtaining mere lire hydrants for the Kirst ward. A delegation of property owneis tn that ward will wait upon the council and urge the necessity for Immediate action In the matter. U has been proposed to move -two or three hjdrants from the Third ward Into the First ward. Superin tendent CMII'is of the American Water Works company says that It will cost about $1,000 to move the hjdrants , as consider able new pipe would have to be laid. Those Interested want a hydrant at Twenty-sixth and C streets and another at Twenty-sixth and D streets. Another hydrant Is badly needed on Tcwntleth street near K or L street. Councilman Ryan has taken con siderable Interest In the matter and favored the transfer of a couple of hjdrants frun the Third vvnrrt to the First ward , but after a little Investigation ho ran against a snag In the shape of the Union Stock Yards company. The hydrants which It h.ul b cn proposed to move are In the Immediate vi cinity of n tract 6f ground -wntd by Ar mour. The stock yards company , It Is un- dei stood senoinly objects to the removal ot the hydrants. , and ko tint idea will have to be given up. At the present time the city has no money to spend on addlticjial hdrantB , but possibly the suggestion of one. of the clly ofllclals will be acted upon , which was lo cut off some of the electric street lights and spand the money for lire protection. _ Stuck from Soulln m Aitirii Kn.

AIIT nnt/'iiTiTp [ > n im i\ ONLY BRIGHTNESS AIlfcAD Mrs. Chant Sure Humanity Will Soon Sco Better Things. PRLSENT DISCONTENT IS PROPHETIC VIxloiiN of ( Drrnuifrn Hunt In * I'lil- Illlril Sermon llrnril lij 1111 Hint I'ntikcil ii Thcittor. | , Mrs , Ormljton Chant was ccmpllmentci by the presence of n very largo audience nt the Crclgliton theater yesterday morning. She spoke on "Tho New Heaven nnd Iho New Karth. " Every seat In the hon o was occupied In spite of tha "No Prtfe List" sign tlmt was hung conspicuously In front of the box cfllco. While members of most of ( lie leadlnc churches of the city were present , the b'llk cf tie audience was evidently com posed of those who wore not regular at tendants at divine worship. The opcnlns liimn was sung as nn enforced solo by Mrs. Whitney , not a single voice In the large au dience Joining In the familiar strain. At the close at the prayer , when the audience was asked to repeat the Lord's prayer In concert w'th Mrs. Chant , one or two voices In tlit orchestra circle faintly joined for a moment and then succumbed to the Intense sllenco with which theli efforts vvcrc re ceived by the * remainder of the audience. Finally Mrs. Chant took occasion to remark that God did not expect all persons to be musicians or elocutionists , but he d'd ex pect them to join In the prnjcr or song to the best of their ability. The hymn "Nearer , My Gcd , to Thee- , " vas then announced and some half a dozen sinners pcattcrcd through the house eventually cleared their throats and condescended to Join In the strain , lint they could not pierce the general chilliness of the occasion and when the third hjrnn was sung Mrs. Whitney was again compelled to lo a soloist. The sermon was evidently not a studied effort. Mrs. Chant usoJ no notes. She stood quietly before the desk and simply talked. She Epoko as unostcntatlsusly as though she were addressing a mission class and this added rot a little to the force ot her re marks. She spoke from a standpoint of pro nounced optimism. In her opinion the fact that the world was beginning to realize that all wau not as It should be was a sufficient Indication that a marked Improvement was coming. She referred confidently to a time when evil would be no more and when uni versal peace and fellowship would prevail among all the nations of the earth. The Eormon was from the text. 'Tor the tabernacle of God Is with men. " The speaker said that , like our Pather , we possessed all power. We even had the power to thrust out God from within'us If we so determined. Wo could disown God for a day , or a week , and , alas , for all our lives. Hut the higher the type of the man the more ho hungered after the Father and realized that there was that In the unseen which was necessary to properly fulfill his destiny. INDICATIONS OP CHANGD. Mrs Chant declared that the general dis content with the present order ot things In dicated that a change was coming. There was a vave of discontent all over the world today , a crjlng out against hunger and pov erty and crime , for- less of hell and more of heaven , and a. new heaven was bound to come when a new earth was ardently de- slied. Many of the great powers of the eaith were- sadly delinquent In their part in effecting the grand result. She referred In terms of condemnation to the failure of England to effect a Chrlstlanllke/ / solution ot the Armenian question and declared that na tions as well so Individuals were responsible to God for their failures. It was only re cently that we had bee-n enabled to properly estimate the value of a human life. When slavery existed and was justified wo had no idea of the value of a human being. If Vc did we had to choke It down In order 'to ' mnko our creed and our practlc ? agree. But now all tint was past and we were able to see humanity as God sees It Every one knew how the love of the father and mother wcit out to the child that was crippled 01 weak or blind , and so God felt toward the weakest of his children. Many an angel was sent on nn embaK y of love to the poor sin striken soul , the meanest of his earth ! } cnlldren. "The dawn of truth Is bee mlng blighter and brighter , " continued the speaker , "and already people are beginning to understand that the world Is not all It ought to be It realizes that ro wrong can be- done to the weakest without endangering the peace of all. So n new earth has dawned on us In the past twenty years. We fly swiftly by electricity and steam and we are be ginning to catch a glimpse of our possibili ties. We have come to Know each othei better and to understand that that which Is not feared can be overcome. We still have pessimists who are afflicted by such moial strabismus that they can only sec the evil and totally fall to comprehend the good. But when we look upon ourselves as a part of the great world of todiy we arc Imbued with the optimism that leads out hopis tn the day when evil shall be no more. And optimism Is essential to cur success. Noth ing else will give you and me strength and resolution to bring about a new earth , the new earth that will come when man shall love his fellow man. Standing armies .md war ships nnd prisons and the hangman are bound to pass away Just as the savagj and his club passed away years ago. " DREAMERS ARE RIGHT. The speaker contended that much was to bo expected from these who dreamed of bet ter things. She said , "IT you will study the . matter , you will find that It Is always the I ureamers wno penorm me most prucuca service to the World. Men In the past am even In the present , dream of a great In vention and of Its effect upon the world They are persecuted , held In ridicule urn subjected to all sorts qf unfavorable criti cisms. But the dream materializes ; the In vention becomes a reality , IS Infused with life and Is placed befcre the people , and the world is blessed thereby. When Joseph was a boy , the brethren hurled at him : 'Here comes the dreamer ! Behold the dreamer In his glory. ' And yet this dreamer proved himself to be the only one of the family to bestow bread upon the members. He alone admlnlsteied to their needs and refreshed them with food when they were passing through a sea of adversity , and fur. . nlslicd them with fcod when they were on the very verge of starvation. And so the poet dreamers and the poets In this grand old book of the world's poems , dreamed of a better earth , a better class ot dwellers and future happiness. And today this old sphere of ours la growing better and the race I ? Improving. " The human idea ot heaven had also radically changed. The- old conception of heaven was that of n place where the elect sat In while garments and tang psalms of piolse to the accompaniment of golden harps while they listened to the groans and cries of despair from those who were eternally doomed. Thank God , that Idea of heaven had passed away. We know that the perfect heaven must begin on eaith. The purer and sweeter our lives grew the more wo know that heaven was love and that where love was there could be no sorrow nor tears nor death. Tills was all God's world and we could not got beyond the reach of His arms. And our success or failure In this life was not to be measured by Uio standard ot other f-r. They were human like ourselves and we might bo led to think tlmt we "were progressing much more rapidly than wo were because the others were going In a different illrectlon. It was not success to bo most oltrt to snatch something from someone else , but It was to conquer hearts for God. It wus to leave tliobe behind who loved and United us and vvero bettor because they had known un , At 4 o'clock in the afternoon Mrs. Chant spoke at the First Presbyterian church and n the evening at Unity church.

Frank Crane delivered his farewell sermon jesterdoy morning to n congregation which occupied almost every pew In iho ca pacious rirat Mcthodl-ii , church. Ho took as the subject of his final discourse "The Dene- diction. " He opened by stating that peace was tha deepest layer of feeling tf the human mind. The first layer , which was nlniost entirely on the surface , was hnpplnes" , which departed and cnmo In n moment.1 A deeper lajor was Joy , which could be 'kit by thosfl who were not happy or at peace and vice versa. 1'cico , however , was as deep as the human heart , ns boundlers ns the character and as far- reaching as human capacity. Peace was ami nlunjs had been the aim and object of human existence. It was the dream of the Hindoos and was typified In their Nirvana. The watch for It was pursued In various wavs. At one extremity stood an Institution , n branch of which exlets In this city , the Sisters of Poor Clare , the members of which phut thcmeelvc.3 within walls and from sight nnd Intercourse with anybody. On the other end were thosu who ci\c themselves up to nil kinds of pleasure nnd ilebauc'iory , Cvciy- botly understood tlmt the nln : of existence wan peace. The minister held t'ia : tin- one extremity was no nearer reaching the goal than the other. For ho sold that God had not intenuVl that happlne < v3 should consist In either the uprc ot- Inf,1 of Joy or In excessive pursuit of It , but wou the ordering of It. God did not doslri that the pawlons , appetites or I 'flings shculd bo eliminated , but shculd be moved tigr.hcr In a strong sweet harmony. Peacu co'ild reach anywhere and emllis t > nd tcire hid nothing to do with It. ELEMENTS OP GOD'S PEACE. Three elements In God's peace were right- ecusness , truth and love. He said that a man at rest must be coiiPclous of complete rectitude In bis own soul nd must be gov erned by the purest of motives. Any step asldo in the way of deceit he denominated as "tho Mitch In the shroud ot the soul. " Truth was just as Important an clement , for no man could bs at peace without It. The greatest of the three , however , was love. Ho named God's love as the center of the spiritual world as the sun Is of the matcihl world. A man at rest must love his fellow creatures with a love so power ful that all joaloub ) nnd kindred feelings' should be entirely eliminated from his char acter. When he felt this , he would be as the follower of the "graveyard" dcctrlne or as the dcbauche , but could look with calm ejes upon whatever the future might disclose. Mr. Crane said that the benediction was criticised by agnostics because the peace of God was described as "suipassing all understating. " He held , howevei , that It was as incomprchens'blo ' as all the things which God hrd done and made. The tree nnd its growth could not be explained , > et It existed as n wcrk of God. In the same way all human love , that of a mother to ward the child and of the wife toward the husband , was utterly Incomprehensible. The preacher urged that hearts should be given to God , first , because sin originated tn the heart nnd the mind followed Its lead , and secondly , because It was the only thing that human beings could give. But few had money , not many had sense nnd only a small number had political Influence to give. But everjbody had at heart , and , however dlfliciilt thu task , It should be unreservedly given. The speaker also said that the only way that the mind could be at peace was by the devotion of services to the supreme being. Finally It was laid down that peace could bo obtained onlv through Jesus Christ. It could bp nhtnl'icd iij nothing that the indi vidual or Gcd himself could do or did. Jesus Chr.'st stood at the throne and pleaded for mortals. He held pence In his hand and vhen It was withdrawn the human being fell Into utter darkness. In a woid , he was the only one that could keep the peace of anyone with God. FINANCES OF THE CHURCH. At the < conclusion cf the sermon Mr. Crane spske a few personal words to thecongre gation. JiHc. cald Urn Lit he work of Hie church in all Us'branches bad been nobly kept up desplteuthe hard times. When he- came , three and a half years ago , he found the church seriously embarrassed , but -a goodlv portion of ttie debts had been cleared away. The sum of $5,000 had been raised nnd the Indebtedness en the building had been de creased from $57,000 to $50,000. This sum wns secured by n mortgage which , fortu nately , bore only C per cent Interest In stead of 8 per cent , because It was given before the financial depression arrived. The sum of $3,000 had been raised and this had cleared off all the debts Incurred for running expenses. Of late all efforts had been devoted to securing onlv the run ning expenses and thesa were in the main successful. Many of the congregation had complained that they were overburdened b > calls to meet the expenses and It had been decided to do away with these complaints It had been determined to cut the running expenses nearly one-half during the coming year. Only $7,000 , Including the Interest on ; he mortgage , would be required , whereas : hp expenses during the past years had been $12,000 annually. Mr. Crane stated , however , that the church was about $900 In arrears on Its running expenses , $1COO on the Intel est and $2,500 on a Judgment which was recently Issued against the church In the courts. This , made a total cf some $ > ,000 , and he said that he leslred to clear this away before he left. The council had determined to take up a collection In order to raise this amount , and ic consequently Issued a call for It. The minister sold he would be most happy f he could turn over the church to his suc cessor BO far out cf debt.

OMAHA AND THE CINDER PATH Local Riders Tnlk While the Council Bluffs Wheelmen Do the Work. LITTLE INTEREST SHOWN ON THIS SIDE liiiimrtinioc of I litMiillcr t rucil ! > } KM \ < H in'ilo Mill * Called fur Tomorrow nt Ilic IllulTN. Interest In the bicycle cinder path between Omaha nnd Co'uncll Bluffs the Idea of which originated In this city , seems to have been transferred almost bodily ncross theriver. . Wheelmen on this sldo nppircntly hive dropped the matter , while on the other hand the business men nnd bicyclists of Council Bluffs have taken It up with conslde-nble cn- tliuMaoni. The latter fact Is to be as hlghl ) commended ns the former Is to be regretted. Said a prominent blc.vcllst jcrterday In conversation , regarding the matter : " 1 do not understand why It Is that thp wheelmen of Omaha do not take hold cf the plan with cntluU'lasm. Not one with whom 1 have talked icgardlng It but has expressed hlm ? lf as most heartily In favor of the Idea. Yet the wheelmen do not appear to have energy enough to push the scheme as It ought to he puthcd. "The o lo no dcubt that a wheel path to Council Bluffs would be , a source ot pleasure to the wheelmen ot both cities , not to speak of the business advantages It would afford. It Is true that many ot Omaha's streets ale well paved , and n spin of miles can bo enJoyed - Joyed In pleasant weather. But the case Is different In wet or sltppy weather. Take for example last Saturday afternoon. Bui little rain fell , and yet a rldo over the pave ments was anything but pleasurable. 1 tried It. I got n bad fall and du-liig the rest of mj ilde I vva i compelled to be so careful In the management of my wheel that I gained hut little pleasure. "If wo had n cinder path ,1 ride could be cnjojed In any weather. No matter how much rain falls the water would bo soaked up and a run cf ten miles between this clt > and Council Bluffs could be cnjojcd even dl icctly after n shower. Morcovei , the path would furnl ! i prnctlcallv the only level course wo have In this.- part of the countrj "I believe that this matter ought to be brought to the attention of the Ass elated Cjcling clubs. Certainly the do.ileii would Le directly bcr-cflted more than nny OIL- else. If thcj helped the matter financial ! } nicy wouiu DO acllnit In their own Interest I bcllove that the building of the path would give an additional Impetus to wheeling. " It appears to he the general jplnon ! of the wheelmen who have looked Into the matter that the dealers should take n h.inJ In this matter. They nre in a posl'bn ' to do so , for despite the hnrd times thv arc- reporting an Increnscd demand for vv hooU oi all kinds. A still further Increase could be expected from the establishment of the path. The varlouo wheel clubs of the c'ty. ' es pecially the Omaha , the Tourists and thp Turners , should cet In line ci : this scheme without walling longer. These clubs contain a membership ot several hun dred ardent wheelmen , who could acoom nllRh much If they directed n united rffort toward the achievement cf anthtng foi the benefit of wheeling The feasibility of the Council Bluffs riath has been established What Is not > ct known is the pait Omah i vv'll IP" i > In Its building. Theic are < = evprpl thoutand wheelmen In the city and If thev unitedly fnvor the-plnn the path will be b hit This Is especially so from the fact that Iho Council Bluffs wheelmen expect to and nro preparing to stand the major part of the expense. A small assessment from the wheelmen and some assistance from the hi cj-cle dealers , and from the other bnslno * * < nien whom they patrcnizo would be s > uf- flclent to raise all the money that would be exoected from Omaha. Council Bluffs wheelmen have taken the matter up In the proper sp'ilt and aie pre paring to push It to a finish. A gciieial mass meeting Is to bo held at the Grand hotel tomorrow nlcht , to which nil wheel men of Council Bluffs and Omaha me In vited. The meeting will put the matter' ' In working shape. It has gone btjoml discus slcn over there and Omaha Is expected to go In the "PUF'I. " This Intel est has been largely brought about through the efforts of Minuger Claik of the Grand hotel. He was enthusiastic-ills In favor of the scheme when It was first mentioned to him and has nare thnn ful filled his piomlEe to push It as hnrd as he could. He consulted councllmen about the question ot obtaining a right of way nnu from them obtained a formal promise th.it It would be granted. Finally he brought the plan to the attention of the Retail Deal ers' association and now that body Is en thusiastically pushing It. It Is proposed to build the path In thp center o ! Broadway to Eleventh or Twelfth street and then on the next street to the Grand hotel. It Is expected that Hie coun cil will permit the path to exist for a pe rlod of five or ten years , for it Is not an ticipated that Broadway will bo repavcd for that length of time. The path will cer tainly not disfigure the street , considering the condition It Is now In. The plan propscs that the path shall be scvontcen or eighteen feet In width. The foundation will be of slag and this will bo topped with cinders. Heavy trafilc will not be permitted upon It. StCHUn CO\UI2HT MUSIC. Club' SiT\lee n < SI. A\ouiie Church.
