Attendance and Interest In the sessions of
the State Sunday School association are on
the Increase. In spite of the sweltering
weather yesterday the auditorium of the
Flrnt Methodist Episcopal church was well
filled and those present entered Into the
spirit ot the work with unflagging zeal.
The opening devotional ecrvlco was con
ducted by Hcv. H. W. Kuhns , n beautiful
Initiation of an arduous day'n work. Fol
lowing this exercise came the reports from
the various counties , showing the extent ot
the work accomplished In each , the prospects
for future labor , and the general status and
condition ot the Sunday schools. Thcae
reports were succinct and brief , but em
inently satisfactory. Thry showed a lively
Increase In the noble cause everywhere , be
ing an echo of the sentiment prevailing not
only hcie but throughout the country ,
The reports of the Sunday school mis
sionaries , with an allotment ot five minutes
each , were also redundant with the fruits
ot unceasing labor and showed a largi
augmentation In this class of work.
These reports were followed by short dis
cussions , all of which led to but ono con
clusion that the work Is being pushed
along In Nebraska with most commendable
enterprise , and must Invltably result In
Incalculable good.
The adtlrcs' of Rev. H. M. Hamlll of Jack-
Bonvllle , III , , on the Boston convention was
one of the conspicuous features of this
morning's program. Rev. Hamlll is a good
talker , fluent , intelligent and decisive , a
-.an who never hesitates for a word and
ccnerolly nas the right ono In the right
placo.
DOUBLED HIS TIME.
The ten minutes set aside for Dr. IlanilU's
talk was stretched into twice this number at
the urgency ot President Trucblood , but
through It all there was not a second when
the Interest was allowed to flag. In graphic
language he described the slghla and scenes
and doings at this notable gathering of the
tremendous attendance at the Tremont tem
ple , a great church bulll on modern lines ,
with Its seven elegant stories , environed by
blocks of busy business houses ; told of Us
Its vast auditorium It ventilation
many rooms , , ! >
tion , elevators and a hundred and one other
interesting points , and concluding with the
proud declaration that this magnificent edi
fice was devoted exclusively to the advance
ment of the cause of Christ and the chuich.
Dr. Hamlll dwelt upon the looks and char
acter of the 2,000 delegates present ; of Dr.
Larimer's pulpit power ; his wonderful ple-ce
of thought and oratory on this occasion and
of other stellar lights patticipattng In the
active work of the convention. His eulogy
of ( ! 'n character of John Wanamaker and
Ills keen Interest In the cause was a well
worded diversion and took well with the
smiling delegates , who hung rapt upon the
doctor's words throughout. He quoted a
few statistics showing that Massachusetts
has more Sundav schools than any other
state In the union and stands at the head
of the column for all America. Ho told
how the cause was advancing In the south
ern states , which Just now seem to bo out
stripping any other section. Even in
Texas this extraordinary energy Is very
marked. Dr. Hamlll touched upon the
Christian census of this country and Canada ,
classifying the same and revealing many
tint.1"i Interesting' ' facts ; upon the
work ot the International committee and
many others of great moment to those en
gaged in Sunday school wortf ,
"Tho Need ] of Organization" was the
theme which Rev. 13. W. Marsh of
Kearney ( Jllatcd upon In a very appropriate
and eloquent manner. He was plain in
pointing out and specifying Just what wns
and was not essential in thorough and < ftl-
cactous organization , evolving In the process
some very original and unique vlew.i. Rev.
Marsh's address was enjoyed extremely and
led to a brief but Interesting and animated
discussion. "
Rev. H. M. Hamlll also spoke for thirty
minutes upon normal wo > I : in h's usual
forcible style , while Mrs. E. B. Poiklns of
Clay Center told ot the best and most
offcative way of "Reaching the People
Through the Sunday Q3hool Assocl.itlon. "
The woman never lacked for resources In
exemplifying her mode and manner of ob
taining this desirable end , and her rein irks
were Intenupted frequently with beany
"ainens" and demonstrations of vigorous ap
proval.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
After a brief praise service the annual
election of officers was taken up , but the
committee on nomination only reporting ono
name for each office , they were recommitted
with Instructions to report two names for
each ofllco.
Secretary Wlghtman read a telegraphic
greeting from W. B. McGregor , president
of the West Virginia Sunday School asso
ciation In session at Pennsborouuh , W. Va ,
I Corlnthcans , 1558. ; The secretary was in
structed to respond to the same.
Reports were received from superintend
ents of city and county Sunday schools
throughout the state , giving enrollment , con
dition , progress , etc. After the hearing of
these reports the congregation sang that
homely but sweet old English melody , "Tho
Lily of the Valley. "
Prof. W. S. Reese , president of York col
lege. delivered n very instructive address
on "The Sunday School as an Influence In
Politics.1 ' Ho recited lessons from old tes
tament history , extolling purity , honesty
and Individual life , and revealing In a
striking way the Influence of the church in
ancient politics ; how wrong inevitably re
sults In ruin and that the only true state's-
ciaft was that which nlono adhered to and
pointed out the right In all governmental
rolgns. Sunday schools are to proclaim the
principles ot Christ's kingdom and to teach
them to the children. A man cannot bo a
Christian in religion and a pagan In busl-
ncEB , Ho cannot worship God and oppress
man , made In His linage. Ho cannot bo
n Christian religiously and an lnflde-1 In
politics. He must bo as true to Christ In
making bargains as he Is In making prayers.
No question Is premancntly settled until It
Is settled right , as God rules. Every ques
tion of public and private life must stand
the search light of truth , A man cannot
enter Into an olllco procured for him by
fraud unless being a partaker of the WIOIIK.
Obedience to God Is above obedience to
party. There Is but ono Master , and Ho is
Christ.
DEMAND RECOGNITION.
Parties make concessions t0 get the Ger
man , Irish or labor vote , but whoever heaid
of concessions to get the Christian vote.
The man vsho buys votes or for whom votes
nro bought cannot have the Christian vote
The 0,000.000 votes said to bo controlled
by the Christian church have their rights
to recognition , and the tlmo la fast comIng -
Ing when this will. The power of Christian
conscience must cio Ions be felt. Let the
UulBtlan voter demand that clean men
( ball carry the party standards and cle-on
men manage the campaigns. .Much depends
on our young men who are being taueht In
our Sunday schools. They aie rapidly
catching the forte of this larger Chris-
Ilanlty. And a now heaven and a new caith
jro to bo brought to us through their in
fluence In politics. Men may scoff at Sun-
Jay gchool politics , but the day will come
T/hen they will acknowledge their potency

' A solo. "Consider the Lilies , " was icn-
ttjt < \ by Miss Cora Trusgcll In a captlvatlnr
way. after which Rov. H. M. Hamlll gave
Hie children , big and little , an liUciestlng

copy of the "Little Red Lesson Books. "
There were many rcuponses and but few
failed to come up to the doctor's require
ments and there was great felicitation no-
UcefMo among the little ones.
USEFULNESS OF BLACKBOARDS.
Ucv. Mr. Hamlll then dilated upon the use
fulness ot blackboards In primary work , and
asserted that with little bits of children
there vni no method half so effective , In
teresting and pleasing. Ho advised against
elaborate picture work as a means of youth
ful education , but rather adhere to simple
lines and curves , words and symbols , allow
ing the childish Imagination to work In
clothing these Into men and things. He had
tried both and found the latter much the
best and most satisfactory. In Illustration
of his theory he gave a number of lessons
upon the board which proved their efficacy
In the undivided attention they commanded
from all present , old and young alike. In
deed the doctor's entertainment was really
a novel and meritorious one , and all were
regretful when he got through , as the
continued and vigorous handclapplng at
tested.
"Sunshine In the Soul" was then rcndeicd
by the congregation.
"Out In the Field" was the title of a talk
by W. H. Klmbcrly of Lincoln. "Our Held
is the state of Nebraska. H Is n grand
state and there arc grand opportunities here
for the workers In the Sunday schools. " Ho
told how he was educated for the law , but
had left that for the field ot Sunday school
work. Ho was In love with It and Intends
to devote bin life to It.
NOT AFRAID 01' ' ' HOT WEATHER.
The second evening session ot the Twenty-
ninth annual convention of the Nebraska
State Sunday School association drew to the
First Methodist church last evening a goodly
proportion of the visiting delegates and n
surprisingly largo number of the Sunday
school workers of this city. The spacious
auditorium of the church was generously
filled and even a portion of the gallery was
occupied with those Interested In the pro
ceedings , Apparently , the Intense heat of
the evening had no effect on the Sunday-
school workers , or at least on their attend
ance. If their Interest lagged somewhat
during the evening , or If the fans fluttered
at times so that the assemblage seemed to
bo moving and so that the speakers had to
raise their voices , all was pardoned because
of the excessive heat. As Is usually the
case , there were more men than women In
the audience. To the men the women , attired -
tired In their light gowns , looked provokIngly -
Ingly cool and really seemed to forget the
temperature Idng enough to take an inter
est In the proceedings.
The half hour from 7:30 : o'clock until S
was given over to a hearty service of song ,
the familiar hymns of the Sunday school be
ing sung by the entire audience led by the
choir. The other music , Including several
well rendered solos , was furnished by mem
bers of the Ilanscom Park Methodist church
choir. Today the Junior Military band of
the Young Men's Christian association ! v III
be In attendance to help along with the
music.
The first address of the evening was de
livered by Her. H. M. Hamlll of Jackson
ville , 111. , who was Introduced as "The fore
most leader In convention work. " He spoke
on the subject , "How to Teach , " and during
the thirty minutes allotted him he gave out
many valuable hints to those present who
had charge ot the religious training ot the
youth of Nebraska. Ie declared his belief
In using all the modern aids that had been
suggested for Sunday school woik without
abandoning the firm principles upon which
the Institution had been built. Throughout
his address he had frequent recourse to
metaphor and simile , both of which flguies
ho used In a most effective manner.
DRIVING HOME THE TRUTH.
In one of these he held up before the au
dience a large wire nail. He said that It
was one of the bebt that could be pur
chased in Omaha. If he wanted to drive it ,
the first thing necessary would he to set it
accurately. It should not be placed on Its
head. Before' teachers attempted to drive
in ilia roiiniou. , truth. * iimt were found liv
the lessons they worn to teach , they should !
see to It that the truths were properly eel.
As the nail could not be driven In with ono
blow , EO teacheis should recognize that It
was futile to attempt to drive home a truth
at one blow. Again , the thorough driving
of a nail resembled the successful effort o ?
a teacher In that neither a number ot nails
or a number of truths could be driven In at
one time. The best work was accomplished
by hammering away at ono nail , or at one
tiuth , until It was well driven. The truth
of God's word , like the nail , should not only
be dilvcn In , but should be driven clear
through , to prove most efficacious.
Rev. H. 0. Rowland of Lincoln occupied
the tlmo from 8-30 until shortly after ! )
o'clock with a splendid address on the place
that the Sunday school filled In the religious
woild and what Us true mission was. He
said that up until the advent of the Sunday
school the church had , through Its own
negligence , been allowing the children H
should have watched over to drift Into the
dark ways ot sin. Though Martin Luther
and John Wesley were great reformers they
made no provision for the early training and
the salvation of the children , save as 'h y
were led Into the paths of righteousness by
their parents. With the coming of the Sun
day school this want had been filled.
In speaking of the work of the Sunday
school ho declared that the Sunday scttol
was no place for the delivery of sermons or
lectures and that the quicker ' teachers ap
preciated this fact the bet'ter It woulu bo.
The Sunday school was for the meeting of
mind with mind , for the earnest co-upaa-
tton along spiritual lines between tcachev
and pupil. The teacher was not the ( inly
one that received wholesome advice fiom
this address , as Rev. Rowland said that Sun
day school superintendents should not ex
hort but should endeavor to bring out the
points of the lesson of each Sunday by
pointed questions to bo answered by the
pupils of the. entire school.

The board of managers of the state fair
put In the day yesterday discussing meas
ures for the success of the coming exhibi
tion. Among other things they decided
that on August G they would put a force
of men at work on the grounds getting
them and the buildings in shape to receive
the exhibits so that by the time the date
for the fair arrived there would be no delay -
lay in installing the exhibits. Under the
direction of the board there will be a largo
number ot new pens erected for both sheep
and hogs , as the facilities last fall were
Inadequate.
On the 18th of next4 month Secretary Fur
ling will come to this city and open an of
fice In the Mlllnrd hotel and remain until
after the fair.
At the morning meeting power for the
\nrlous buildings was engaged. The ap

Davis were confirmed. The assistants to
Chief Davis \ \ 111 be G. W. I'nco of Bellwood
and James E. Marsh of Sutton.

TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.
The boaid of managers has been in con
sultation fiom time to time with the rail
road and street railroad managers con-
.curnlng the facilities for transporting pco-
plo to and from the fair grounds promptly.
Thtie was considerable complaint made on
that score last year , and Justly so. Ar-
langcments have been made this season
which will do away with any dlulcutly on
that score. The Missouri Pacific railroad
has put in passing tracks and will this
season operate twice as many trains that
it tried to opeiate last jear. The ojclals
guaiantco a train from the terminals at
both the grounds and the city every fifteen
minutes and it alro guarantees that bet
ter time will bo made by the trains between
terminals.
The Union Pacific nl&o promises to put
on additional trains and ghe prompt- serv
ice and tiansport all the passengers that
offer themselves. *
One of the worst 'features last season was
the street car service , but this year that
will bp remedied. Last season the ccmpanj
did not ha\c power enough to rao\-3 the
cars and long lints of them were bunched.
, up at the foot of hills. This > car all this
will be' changed. . The .company has
put in another large dynamo" , " and In
addition to , thnf li = sr ' - - - ' " 1U >

chinery raoio effective. It „ asserts It will
bo able to give a regular two-min
ute service this year If It' fs necqssary ,
but contemplates starting up with "a cai

These changes will be appreciated by
all , especially those who attended 'last , year.

The llttlo town ( rf/Valley , this county , Is
ngnln in hard luck. I > 8t year the town
clerk falloil to certify the levy for village
purposes to the county clerk In time to have
It Included In the levy made by the county
commissioners , and tha town was compelled
to run along for a yor without any levy.
This year the village board cot In Its report
on time and the levy tor village purposes
was duly made , but some of the overworked
officials ot the UIlaRO made a false move In
another direction. TUft people of the village
had become Imbued with metropolitan Ideas
and had conceived the Idea that n town hall
was required to give the town the proper
dignity and standing among the other vil
lages ot the countv ,
A long petition \vfts accordingly prepared ,
addressed to the village board , asking for
the passage of an ordinance authorizing the
purchase of an old frame building which It
was proposed to move to n lot owned by the
village , and repair and convert Into a full
fledged town hnll. This petition was signed
by nearly every resident and property owner
In the vlllago and was duly presented to the
village board. The question was fully
canvassed , and , after duo delibera
tion , the ordinance was passed.
The next step was to buy the build
ing and the credit of the town was
pledged to the owner of the structure. About
the same time the county clerk was noti
fied of the action of the town council and
vis asked to Incorporate In the tax low nn
Item of 3.S mills for a town hall. Here
the scheme struck a snag. In a few days
n letter came from the county clerk Inform
ing the village board that the request for u
levy for the purpose stated had been made
too late , having been received by the county
clerk July 20 , whet ens the statutes require
the county board to make the annual tax
levy , "Including all county , township , city ,
school district , precinct , village and other
taxes required by law to bo certified to the
county clerk and made by the county
board , " on the last day of the sitting of
the board as a board of equalization. This
effectually disposed of the matter of a levy
for another > ear , as the tax levy had been
made by the county board In the latter part
of June , about a month before the village
board sent In Its request for a levy for a
town hall. This settled the question of
paying for the new departure betoie another
levy is made , but Just what will bo done
has not yet been determined by the village
board. The matter had progressed so far
before anything was done In the matter of
securing a tax levy that the town officers
feel they cannot back out of the deal at
this late day.

Park Policeman Goodrich , who patrols

who persist In fishing In the park lake.
The little bit of water Is stocked with a
quantity of nsh , particularly carp. The
finny inhabitants are so tame that they
bite at anjthing In iight and consequently
the lake furnishes an ideal fishing ground
for boys.
Policeman Goodrich has been on watch
for months In an effort to catch the culprits
and his cffoits were finally lewarded Tues
day. He nabbed u boy , Klrkwoodho
lives at 111 South Twenty-fourth htreet and
works in the park pavilion , just as he was
pulling out his sixth carp. He marched
the lad to the police station yesterday morn-

gUen a lecture by Police Judge Gordon ,
who promised to punish him severely If ho
every appeared before him on the same

Gladness Comes
With n better inulcrstntuling' of the
transient luiltnc of the iniiny phys
ical ills , which vnnihh before proper ef
forts penile efforts plcnsmit efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge , that so ninny forms of
sickness nre not due to any nuhwl dis-
onsc , hut simply to n , constipatedcondl *
tion of the tystem , which the pleasant
family laxative , Syrup of Figs , prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families , and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value peed health , its beneficial
effects nre clue to the fnct , that itis the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliiichs without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
nil important , in order to get its hene-
lleinl effects , to note when you pur
chase , that you hnvo the genuine arti
cle , which is manufacturi'd by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co _ . only and sold by
all reputable dtuggists.
If in the enjciyinetit of peed health ,
and the system is regular , laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
nlllicted with any aet-.ml disenhc , one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians , but if in need of a laxative ,
one bhould have the best , nnd with the
well-informed everywhere , Syrnp of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
tiasd and gives most general satisfaction.
You don't know how hot
and thirsty 3ron arc until
a sparkling" , cooling glass of
HIRES Rootbeer is handed
you. Then 3 011 forget how
hot and thirsty yon were.
You can make it.
