ticed Is that Prof. I1Ine whom I'rot. Lewis
succeeded , resigned , n the latter has Just
tione , to take a position In a Nev Fngaud

that a short illness followed.

, and other troubles drowned herself anti her
two little children in the tissouri river a

pupils in all the twoivo schools of the city
at thzt time was 5,261 , of whom only about
, one-thirty-eighth "at in the high cltol.
Suporintoudelit James in lile report called attention -
tontion to the fact that of cities of iti , size
. Omaha had the smallest high ecliool. This
could hardly bo said now , for of the 13,000
children in the cliooIn the High school has
about one-twelfth. The ttinnllncss of the

larger tranrient population than now.

readings were followed by time blor'1ng and

After npc.iking of time events of Christ's

- time CoimMtimmtiom ,
Once more , says the Independent , tIme hit-
tie band of agitators , hod by those who . \Iii
not vote for God's righteousness , beauoe
time muprpnio authotityof God is not mentioned -
tioned imi the cbftstittmti n ot the United
States , have brought before congress their
periodical bill for an amnenuiment of the preamble -
amble to time constitution so as to recognize
God as the source of all cil power , and
Christ as time ruler of nations , an His
supreme will. an of supreme authority. Time
proposttuon has actually passed to a eecond
reading In time senate , and Is alee before' '
time house , and it is among the remote pos'
vibihitios that it may pas' and ho sent to time
state legislatures for ratification , 1osibly
the character of time very devout men who
imavo advocated time measure before the corn-
mittoea of congress , and of tUe pronounced
unbehievers wimo have been moved to oppose -
pose it , may have affected the attitude of
our legislators. Wo take the liberty to
represent the views of the great body of
christian men in timis country and to explain
why it is that they take no interest in trying
to secure such a recognition of the Ainmighty
in our organic law ,
In the first place they do not believe that
a state is affected one way or another by
a formnai , and necessarily to a great extent
perfunctory , acknowledgment of Jesus Christ.
Religion Ia sonmothing that affectim Individuals -
uals , and affects states as it first affects
individuals. The citizens are not christians
because the organic law of the state acknowledges -
knowledges Christ ; but the state is christian -
tian if time citizens are such. It all the , law-
giverti am ! judges and executive omcers are
trying to do timeir duty in the fear of God ,
time state is not made a particle more religious -
ligious by putting the name of God into ite
constitution , If lawgivers and judges and
executive offIcers do not fear God , then His
name in the constitution makes the state
wors ratiter than better. It is
putting time cart before time horse
to attempt to , sanctify time people
by first sanctifyFng time state. Time
citizenti give character' to the state , not time
mitato to time citizens. Putting the pcogai-
tton of Clmrit't into the constitution would

"Every state should be loyal to itself just
as numch as every country shmomulmi be , anti
it is time helg.t of folly for a state to send
outside for its food products when timey
can be bought-made equally well to any
in the world-rIght at ones own door. "
Dr. Mary E. Greene , in speaking of what
Nebraska iman done in tito way of imonie
manufactures , expressed herself in thin forcible -
cible language , As she matl hmer remarks
based on a careful examnination of what
Nebraska manufacturers are doimmg , sime was
requested to toil to readers of Time Lice wimat
almo imad observed during her visit to Onmalma ,
"I have been delighted to find hunt so
mucim effectiyea work is being done rigimt in
Nebraska by your active organlzatiomm-tlmo
Manufacturers' and Commnumors' association
-for promnoting tne use of Nebraska , or
'imcnmo' products , as I believe you call timeni.
"When a state has such boundless resources -
sources as Nebraska has , it is very mccli
better to use time products at first imammd , as
yotm are doing , than to send off time crude
product and timemi ship it back again. I
imavo seen time latter course taken in Georgia -
gia and in Michigan , too , time state from
whicim I come , in some instances , For cx-
ample , in Mlcimlgan wo don't nmanimfacture
our oatmeal , as you do , but we send down
iimto Ohio or into' ' Canada for the product. "
Dr. Greene was 000 of time Judges of food
products at the World's fair , anti has given
the matter. mucim attention. While in
Omimaima lecturing to time Woman's climb , fume
visited Nebraslca's hives of imoino industry.
"I was interested to find 'imat hmh been
tione. Iii South Omnalma I found a great
industry in the prelaratiomm of meats for
time market , There is only one timing I
wislm to criticize now , antI that refers to
all parts of time United States eqtmally , If
the government gives foreign consumners tIme
benefit of meat inspection , I think time name
inspection ouglmt to be given to our citi-
zens. Of course , time per cent is very small
of diseased animals that are feumnd , though
I think , for immy part , timat our citizens
should imavo the sammme show that foreigners
are given ,
"Yotm have one Nebraska prodmmct against
whicim I find a prejudice exIste-thme annie
prejudice wiiicim exists in all parts of time
United States , I mean glucose as a table
product in one form or another. People
should learn to recognize tIme fact that glucose -
coso Is a strictly wholesome food product.
It is unfortunate that we do not do as time
Japanese-give it a nice name , such as
haney-honey or corn-honey-as they do ,
Then people would buy it and b benefited
by its use itmstcad of objecting to eceing a
pure and wlmolesomno product on the tablet
Doubtless time first prejudice caine from time
sugar makera , who knew vhicim side their
bread woo buttered on when they excited a
poptmiar prejudice.
"Another food which Nebraska is producing -
ing and against rhiclm a general , but wholly
grottndless , prejudice exists with a certain
class , is btmtterine , I believe in buttcrine
mccl heartily. It is so mnuclm better , sweeter
antI purer than nine-tenths of the butter put
dii the market. This is an entirely wrong
movement to try to legislate limo butterine
mit of the market. In Michigan they won't
allow timeir erimninals to eat it. But they
don't try to stop time use of these "soap"
fats which arc' so largely placed on the market -
ket under. the guise of butter. Time trouble
is , there is. too m uch wortitlessbadly , made
butter placed pn. the market-yes , amid
cheeses , too , that America baa conm 'to
limive time reputation of making the poorest
dairy lroduco in time world.
"We have made some practical tests at
time Woman's club of the flour products of
Nebraska and found them to be of tIme very
best. Time flours , thought I don't remember
time 'names of the particular brands , were
equal to those iroduced anywhere. "

Wise Woman's Week.
If you want to see the "pick and choice" of Omaha's

: ladies of the four hundred brushing slcevcs with thc ladies
mc of the four thousand In a praiscworthy endeavor to save
- - - all the way from 75c to $3.50 on an Easter Suit for the
boy. You may notice that each woman has one or
- more bundles from her favorite dry goods store , and if
- you could look inside of these bundles you would see
c _ dress goods and satins and Easter bonnets and Iingcrie
f and possibly boys' shirt waists , but NO BOYS' SUiTS.
.
- - That is because wise women have long ago found out
that the man who buys for the Children's Dept. of "The $ t
' Nebraska" knows HOW and WHAT to buy and when iv4
- he starts out to buy ChiLdren s Suits he hasn t got rib-
jf bens on his mind , This spring he had the hard times .t t

good value at $1.50. Reefer Suits at $1.60 , $2.00 and 1

and long pant suits from $230 to $7.50 that a dry goods j

AMUSEMENTS.
Ccc-ccccceGoCocCcCccccca ;
Two good audiences greeted Eddie Fey yea-
terday at the Creiglmton , curiotma to ectimnato
time presommt standing of that artist in imia
pat'sage frommm time piano of burlesque to time
more exalted walks to whichm ime aeplres.
The piece in wlmichi his new departure is
exploited is "Time Strange Adventures of Miss
Brown , " an endeniably amuzing farce , after
the robust l3ritimihm style of humor. Mr. Fey
would seem not to have altered greatly. The
same cloud rests upcn his voice , amid hIs
method , if something less boIE'teroun , imas lost
mmone of its endearing qualities. On time
whole , it may be said that lie does better in
legitimate comedy timan mimighit have been cx-
peeted , though Ime is certainly rather queer
as the cavalry omcer.
The company is strong in time line of work
wimich the play undertakes. The clever performance -
formance of Harry Brown recalls tile ( hays
of time Prince of Piombino and the Standard
theater and the shrieking audIences timat
imightly watched his antics. It Ia a pleastmro
to see this excellent actor again. A clean
cut bit of comedy Ic time Mrs. Itomney of
Lizzie Morgan. James E. Sullivan coit
tributes a laughable and well sustained
sketelm of the music teacher , amid Lizzie Conway -
way is an excehluit Mrs. O'Galiaglmer. There
are a lot of pretty gIrls , some of whom show
good dramatic ability tmoeitles attractive
looks , and tile drinks used in time piece range
from p'iilt clmarnpagne to whisky witim a
head on it lilcosoapsude. , ,
1Tha Strange Adventuroa of Miss Brown"
may be followed for two more nights , with a
special matinee on Tuesday. They are war-
rantemi to amuse , and guaranteed not to
offend time most delicate sensibilities.
Time Woodn'ard comnpasmy , opening a return
engagement of eight. days at Boyd's , gave two
performances yesterday to crowded lions-es.
"Besmmle , time Romp. " war presmted , at time
matinee , ahd "Not Guilty" was the evening's
bill. Time managemiiemmt ammnouncas a cimano
of bIll for each performance during the cmi-
gagement , anti the very reasonable price of
adnmissicui should immsure a commtinuaiice of the
excellent buninees wlmichm this comnpatmy has
hitherto enjoyed.
