A family living on South Sixteenth street
amler the viaduct carried their domestic
closet Into the neighborhood of Twenty-
fourth mid Douglss ulreelH lost night , and
there In thai eminently rtsncctable com
munity cxpoitd their skeleton , outrageously
ciamldllzlntf the good people iu that section
ut the city.
The oCLtipantE of a residence on Upper
Douglas blrect were stirprlocd about 0 o'clock
lu.,1 evening by seeing tome men carrying a
woman up the stops of their home. The
door wr.H opened to them and thu wotnnn wan
token In anil cared for. She seemed lu be un-
coiiHclous , and a doctor was summoned. Upon
Ills arrival he found that the woman was Bttf-
firms from hysterics. After EOIHO little
treatment * hr recovered ami give the people
ple In the house the first Information they
had of what came near belnc something ot
& tr.igfdy. )
She gave licr name as Mrs. Joe Illll. and
lar resilience ) as being on South Sixteenth
nti-cM. under the viaduct. She said her hns.
b nd worked In South Omaha. .She said that
roiiin time ago her husband left IIIT anil
lived with nnother woman for tlnci > months ,
taking her two children with him. She said
ho afterward returned to his own home , but
eho fell he had not cen&e-d his clandestine
visits to the other \\oinan. l.-'ist night when
lie1 left the house she determined to follow
him and Icurn whether her suspicions were
true. Sh' ' ? found out , ami had It not b'ccn for
the timely Interference of n passerby her
Investigations might have been expensive for
Ju-r.
\prordlng to her story she followed her
husband till he rcnchcil a boarding house
on Douglas wtrect , near Twenty-fourth , and
caw him go Into tlic kitchen In the basement.
SOm thru looked around till the found u
place where she could see Into the basement ,
onil watched developments. She saw a girl
who is employed there as a servant , whose
name is said to be Mattlc nakcr , and who ,
Mrs. Hill clalmu. Is the wouiun with \\hom
her litibbanil lived during the time ho tle-
fcpiU'd his outi home.
After watching a while who saw the couple
engage In conduct which aroused her
v.-uinntily SOIIEC of right and Justice and she
jt"slieil open the door. Sim wont Into that
bafcrment like a mid-winter blizzard and
lan'lod upon the magnet which had drawn
her husband from his home.
When the gallant husband recovered from
the ru h sufficiently to recognize the altu-
cnon. hu Fcparalo ; ! the combatants uml led
Ins wife out of the building. He led her
through the six Inches of snow which had
carpeted the earth out to the sidewalk and
up tv.o or three doors from the abode of hla
enamored one. Ho then stopped her and
< spostulatrd with her upon her unseemly
conduct In such a manner that a man who
happ- ned to bo passing felt ealled upon to
Interfere. Hill resented the intrusion and
explained It satisfactorily to Iilma3lf by say-
liiK the woman wan Ills wife. The outsider
persisted In Interfering however , whereupon
Hill turned tall and look up a chase toward
Iowa.
The woman had fallen to thu sidewalk
by this time In . - , lit of hystoric.s , and other
he'lp coming up she was carried Into the
nearest , residence , where she was kindly
cared for till she had recovered. She was
a liitlo woman , fairly good looking , not very
well clad , and evidently about 20 years of
oge.
oge.Sho
She expressed fear of going home for the
reason that her" litisbaad might bo there
and continue the aE.'mtlt he was prevented
from completing earlier In the evening. She
said , however , that her husband did not
utrlke her during their trouble on the otrcet ,
but that she would have killed the. Ilakcr
Klrl had her husband not pulled her away.
About 10 o'clock the woman was taken
to her home.

OMAHA , Keb. 20. To the Editor of The
Dee : Hcv. Dr. * Ncwton Mann , In his ser
mon oC last Sunday' gives seventeen reasons
for his being a Unitarian , which may be of
Interest to tia. We will here consider them
l > rloly ! , and In the order in which they
co m c :
1. Grin-rally speaking the Incredibility of
Inn creeds of other churches. A reasoning
mind demands a reasonable religion
Christians here must differ with the doc
tor , as to the criterion of truth. All knowl
tnlgo IB of God. The natural , scientific , and
revealed truths find In God a perfect and
Imllbi-oliiblo union. One cannot contradict
the other and should revealed supernatural
truth seem to contradict , to our reason , a
natural truth , then It must bo the fault of
reason , as Rod makes no mistake. Hcllglon
deals with the supernatural mostly and
therefore often proposes to our roapon truths
which are above It , as In everyday life we
PCO a thousand and ono things about no
which appear reasonable , only on account
of our dally contact with them. The mind
cannot understand them , yet they are truo.
When reason considers supernatural truths
end satisfies Itself that they come from God ,
then It accepts them , and they become rca
conablo and thus a Christian religion be
comes a truly reasonable one.
2. Whatever other thoughts one may have
of God , wo must think of Him now as one.
not three or thirty. Wo are- Unitarians
Instead of Trinitarians , because we have
never been able to sec how onq can possibly
bu three , and at the same time am * , We
liavu no use either for u deml-god , such as
salmi.
God Is only one , but in three dlvlno per
sons. Wo can by the powers of our mind
apprehend God. Hut to comprehend him re
quires not only the fullist power of our
reason but also the. fllJo lights of Ills holy
revelations. Man here on earth cannot ex
pert to fully understand God God , the
maker and creator of all things. To really
do that tvijtilros a mind equal and Hlmllar
to God's , and \vo are but men ,
3. The prophets of Israel taught n strict
TJnltarlanlsm.
When Christ came to redeem the world
the old law which the Jews had had for
rcnturlcsv s thrown oiu and supomeded
by the new , nnJ although the prophets never
really said the word "trinity. " yet they Im-
l > llcd It In their teachings , They " ( ten talked
of one God In the Father arid of the Spirit.
4. Jfsus followed In their footsteps , and
lind nothing to say about u trinity.
Jesua speaks of God , the Father , and of
the Spirit or paraclete , What , doctor , did
31e say on the cross , when dying ? "Oh ,
Father , why hast thou forsaken me. " What
did Ho say about the Spirit who would
descend on the apoitles on Whitsunday ?
Lock It up , doctor ! The lileu and essence
of the "trinity" aic repeatedly Implies ! In the
blblo strong enough to satisfy any mind.
fi. Tlu > greatest of the Ort-ek nnd Itomnii
jihllosophers nppt-ar to Imvo believed In onu
lir'd ' , pole and undivided ,
So do all Christian * , for God Is solo anil
undivided , existing fully In each of the three
person * . You aru mistaken about I'lato ) bo
more careful In your statements , doctor.
0 , The vnstni'f.s . of the universe , as seen
to modi rn eyes roiil.M Ir.cr dlbl th i w.iclo
Htory of Incarnation , throwing It Into dis
proportion absolutely pr'po'jte'rou ? , Tint
story , and all similar storhs told by p.iuuiia ,
wire suited to a tlmo when thin i-tirth was
mipposed to bu the prlnclo.il part of crea-
tl < n. Modern iiHtronomj makes mvtha of
them.
The Incarnation h disbelieved by all Intel-
lo.'tual nlginlc . The
* developments of mod
ern asU'onomy arc great ami goad , since- they
givu us a knowledge of things which were
thought to ho beyond our reach. Hut they
\\a \ not warrant the doctor's roncluslon. And
how ho can possibly fish out a religion from
filch a mass uf ( statements Is a-mystery. Un
less he proposes to people the planets and
take hypothesis for fact , In this ease each
planet would requlku a redeemer.
7 , In thin church there Is a disposition to
keep silent concerning things of which noth
ing Is known or can be known. To the soul
weary of humbugs and empty speculations
It Is an Immense relief to find euch u place.
The doctor should not get away from such
a Ul | ioslllon and break silence about things
ho could not reach with a balloon.
8. Unltarlanlsm declares for the brother
hood of m.in. Instating that It shall b * moro
than a theoryj that it shall be pr.ictlcully
exemplified.
The lirothcrlioo.l of man Is all good enough
when It Implies ft correct Idea ot the brother
hood of Ooil , on which It must rest ,
P. It tenches that what man has done nnd
been , man can do nnd be ; thut examples'
have been net ns not for our despairing
admiration , but for us to attain to , and
&VPII to surpass. So our faith encuuraens the
noblest endeavor ,
These words arc very edifying , but I wouU
like to Ask If this religion Is the only ono
that exhorts Its mcmbtrs to profit by the
Rood example of those gone before us.
The next eight reason.- ) may be taken as
the rellRlotis views ot Unltarlanlsm up to
dale. Other pioinliient ministers of the same
faith eom to differ with the doctor. '
Mr. Mann Is simply ft rationalist , and wo
moke bold to tell him that his rellRlon will
continue * to change- with the1 developments of
Christian science , and Jjs ever dlMractrvl by
the vagaries of small mlmls within Itn pale.
And when a man prefers to obey the voice
of imture , rather than the voice ot Clod , ho
Is In a sad fix. The first speaks through Its
works , the latter through the holy revela
tions. St. Paul Is a better authority on re
ligious matters than our worthy doctor , who ,
when ho looks to the growth of sctcnco an
Iho food for his religion forgets the text of
St. Paul : "For I EVP ! you to understand ,
hrclhrcn , that the gosptl which was preached
by me Is not according to man. " ( Mann. )

NBW VOniC , Feb. 21. Henry Clews , head
of Iho banking house of Henry Clews & Co. ,
writes :
In the Investment nnd speculative depart-
incuts 'of Walt street there have hccn no
Important ehaimes during the past week.
The preponderant fccllnR seems to have
favored selling , partly because operator- )
hnd licooino tired ot the dead level In price

result of these conditions liaa been a fill

The dllllcultlcs between arjccemd Turksj

Is reason to hope that these European dan

lending powers have unanimously agrect
upon a Joint Intervention , which will re
strain Greece from deranging hostile aetlot
and lead to a prevention of hostile relation ?
between that country and Turkey. This
outbreak may , however , delay the reforms
which the great powers nave resolved to

markets.DUIFTINO
DUIFTINO INTO ACTIVITY.
Domestic conditions retain the symptoms
of recovery which I lately noted as having
set In : nnd there can now ) > o no question
that the general business or the country Is
al last stoadlly drifting Into a healthy ac
tlvlty. The tonnage returns of the rail
roads , eastward nnd westward , show n
very satisfactory Increase ; and the same
tendency appears In current reports of rail
road earnings , wlilch contrast favorabl >
with those of January. With trilling ex-
t'cptlons , rates of freight are stable , which
together with the extremely low prices o ;
railroad supplies , should be favorable to
the net earnings. .
The merchandise markets show a ver >
marked Improvement. The commercla
hotolH are full of buyers from all sections
of the country , and It Is doubtful If the
Interior trade was" ever before so fullj
icprcKclited In this city. Within the last
nlno days no less than 1,300 drj
goods buyers arrived here. The woolei
goods trade shows a distinct recovery , am ;
mills that have been closed for months nre
resuming work. A similar recovery Is ap
parent In nearly all other kinds of mer
chandise. The Interior buyers are discrim
inating and careful , but the aggregate of
their purchases Is making a satisfactory Im
pression upon stocks of goods. There are
nowhere any Indications of a speculative
demand for merchandise , but a. fair , con
servative business Is realized In the trades
generally , and prices are steady. The
breaking up of the Steel Halls assoclatlor
has resulted In sales variously estimate !
at from 1 030,000 to 1,100000 tons , the price
having settled down to J18 to $20 , according
to location of market. This release of the
rail rm'.rkot will SPt In operation a large
amount of business which has been stag
nant for many months. From the winter
wheat sections the accounts arc still favor
able , the thick snow blanket- having pre
served the plant In good condition , and the
prospects being almost uniformly hopcfu"
for the crop.
FOREIGN TRADE IN OUR FAVOR.
The foreign trade movement still runs
largely In our favor. The gain In exports
Is naturally beginning to abate and the fig
ures for January show an Increase over last
year of $7,1CO,000 , while for the previous
quarter the gain hnd averaged over JI3-
000,000 per month. I3ut the Imports for Jan
uary show a much larger rule of decrease
than previously , the falling off being $10.-
( ino.COO , while for the months of December
November nnd October the decrease aver
aged only $13f,00COO. The. merchandise Im
ports for last month amounted to J ! > 3,20fl.OOJ
while the exports were valued at $93.0CO.fOO
which shows a balance In our favor on the
merchandise account amounting to JIIJ.ROO-
OCO. For the same month of 1SOG the creditor
balance was $22EOO.OCO. These llgures show
that we may safely postpone expectations
of gold exports : for In addition to this bal
ance of $15fOOCOO for January we musl
reckon the largo sum of export bills stll
held here but which will now soon mature.
These balances will much more than cover
the Interest payable abroad at the begin
ning of March. It must be here noted , how
ever , that during this month the. Imports
of merchandise have begun to show n de
cided Increase. , the result probably of more
liberal orders sent out In November under
the encouraging outcome of the election.
The Imports at this port for the first two
weeks of February amount to $18,900,000 ,
which Is Identical with the llgures for the
corresponding weeks of I&90. Wo .nre evi
dently now entering on a period In which
the late large creditor balance between Im
ports and exports will be modified , and wo
may expect to see Increases In the Imports
and decreases In the exports ; but. In the
meantime. It would seem that Europe must
bo owing largely to the United States on
the balance of past transactions , including
Ilnanclal as well as commercial.

NEW YOniC , .Feb. 21. Wall street activity
does not Increase. Upon the contrary , II
diminishes. The waiting disposition Is stll
controlling. Nobody wants to do anything
In the Investment or speculative world pend
ing a changeIn national administrations.
There Is , moreover , a growing tendency to
express the view that It will bo politic to
wait beyond Inauguration flay till the now
congrchS under President McKlnley'8 direc
tion shall have done something toward fixIng -
Ing a revised tariff act. Hero nnd there
are .subtle suggestions from quarters too
often right to be Ignored that when the spe
cial session of contrc.s does convene It may
make exceedingly slow progress. Indeed ,
on the Now York Stock exchange ono day
this week u bet of $300 to $1,000 was publicly
inailo that no tariff bill would bo put
through the special session of congress
within three months after the Inauguration.
Another bet with not much different odds
wan inailo that It would bo August before
any tin Iff bill would be passed. Wall
street Is apprehensive that Mr. McKlnlcy Is
going to Imvo trouble with some of Iho old-
time politicians whom ho has been Ignoring
slnco the election tlmo whom , In fact , ho
Ignored during iho campaign. In this
category are placed by Wall street calcula
tors such practical politicians as Mr. Quay ,
Thomao C. I'latt , Governor Foraker and
Mr. Kurtz of Ohio , If thu latter happens to
bo chosen Mr , Foraker'n colleague. Mr ,
Fornker's friends nay that ho will be.
CAN T1K UP THE SRNAT13.
According to Wall street theorists , who
argue that there will bo delay and snarls In
coming tariff legislation , this baid ) of broth
ers can nt their own sweet will tlo up the
senate , providing , of course , that , as Is nat
ural , the democrats stand tof-otber opposed
to any suggestion that the administration
may propose. Mr , Quay and Mr. 1'lntt , In
Florida together , nro known to bo Joking
with their friends over the "smooth paths"
which they say Mr. MoKlnley expects to
have. If there should develop substantial
Interferences with the administration's
plans for revising the tariff thu effect In
Wall street must undoubtedly bo depress
ing. For many n weary day thu financial
world hns been waiting the tlmo now so
close at hand for the Incoming of an admin
istration which , disposed to treat business
Interests fairly , would establish a tariff
schedule Intelligible and llxed. Disappoint ,
rnents on this account are bound to bo
fraught with Wall street sequels of an un
pleasant character.
Wo have been hearing for a couple of
months that an inauguration boom was
coming to Wall street. So far it has amply
dlsguUed its approach , Such changes as
Imvu taken place In quotations this week
have been almost wholly declines ,
TIUJST INVESTIGATION A FARCE.
The trust Investigation has petered out.
Nothing of consequence has been accom
plished by Senator Lcxow and his col
leagues beyond cutting n ridiculous figure
In public. If the questions snarled nt the
Sugar trust arc to be taken as n sample
of anti-trust campaigning , the trusts have
mighty little to apprehend , for the questions
asked of Messrs. Ilavcmeyer nnd their col
leagues were precisely such questions as
would have been certain to be nuked had
the framing of them been left wholly to
the Havemeyers themselves. Senator Lcxow
bad put before him , a series of questions
from awell InformcYH'f rce before he be
gan his Investigation" 1ntt the Sugar trust
mystery , one of which reviewed the matter
ot whether or not tin trust had made , a
big secret Issue of bonds. Senator Ix'xow
said that these questions xrouM 1)3 asked.
He has not nskod tltcnf If ho had put the
questions and hnd. Insisted upon olllclal
answers the result WOifld have probably
been the disclosure of. unexpected traps for
the Investing public , for U might have thus
been shown that such bouds had been Issued
to offset tremendous losses made by the
trust through the speculation of some of
Its magnates In the rawftlgar market , such
losses being .practlcally-iti. further charge
upon the cohsumor.1 the JIO.OCO.COO secret
bond Issue being | > trlitips only Incidental ,
however , to that enormously disastrous
raw sugar spA'ttlntion ,
Wall street Interest .la infting away from
this trust Investigation , not because any
thing more nttrnctlve has developed any
where , thotiRh the possibility of n foreign
war has morc or loss'nfTeetcd slightly the
course of stock market quotations. If any
thing like n real conflict should grow out of
the Cretan Incident the United States must
eventually make great commercial gains.
Our crops and our Industrial output would
command the markets Of the world. At the
start , of course , we would have to contend
with n lot of drawbacks. We would sec our
gold reserve dltrlnUh with a. ituh the whole
world galloping Into n quick hoarding move
ment. In Wall street so far , however , no
body of consequence believes that the
trouble between Greece nnd Turkey can get
beyond diplomatic rangei Thus it Is that
on thin account we have so far had a few
feverish afternoons , with little of substan
tial consequence following ,
HUMORS OF A 1JIC OIIAIN DI3AU
Chicago Is not nt the moment doing much
In tlui stock market here. Most of the dis
patches which come from Chicago to Wall
street arc now largely conllncd to grain
market miitters Under the leadership of
hnlf n dozen Important Hoard of Trade men
there nro In Now York now probably n
score of big speculators ready to turn In
with a rush ns buyers of grain and provi
sions the moment the word comes front
Chicago that foreign complications warrant
such action.
Mysterious stories nro going the rounds
that Messrs. Elklns and Wldcner have not
gene Into the street railway directory of
Mr , Ycrkcs without arranging for other
Joint account transactions. Mr. Yerkcs *
friends arc Indisposed to acknowledge the
fact , but It Is practically certain that ha has
prepared to branch out largely in the elec
trical manufacturing Held. The electric
companies ho now controls arc Betting Into
closer relations with certain other Important
related Interests. So much has been for
some time past common newspaper gossip.
Hut of the real consequences of the plans
proposed by Mr. Ycrkes the public has yet
small appreciation. Hy spring it Is probable -
able that the Ycrkcs plan will have so fur
de\ eloped that Insiders can talk frankl }
of the situation , which promises to have It
It a vast deal of Importance for > strep

CHICAGO , Feb. 20. Wheat today showci
somu of the effects of the load of long
wheat which traders had undertaken to
carry over the holiday , their unloading pro.-
venting moro than a lie advance , althoiisl
the news all favored a more substnntln
gain. Corn was heavily traded In , but ad
vanced only 1-lCc. Oats closetl lie higher
and provisions 2'c ' to Co lower.
Wheat gave no symptom nt the opening
this morning of weakness after Its three
days' climb. It stn'cted ' buoyantly nt fron
7G'-jc to 7Gia for May. compared with yes
terday's closing of 7iVic ( to WaU. A large
business was done n't these llgures and dowt
to 76 * 0 for the first half hour , and be-foro
the lapse of nnothiir thirty minutes It was
bringing 7iltC. ( An advance' of from -id to
Id at Liverpool and decline In English con
sols Were the moru prominent tenturcs of
the news whloh added to the feature will :
which wheat had previously been regarded
There were some 'minor reasons for the
early strength. Chicago receipts were 23
cars and the out Inspection IH.OOO bu. ' Ar
gentina shipped only 1S2.000 bu. of wheat
against 101,000 bu. the week before and com
pared with DH.OOO bu. In the corresponding
week of last year. Atlantic nnd 1'acille
coast ports cleared 2.120.S03 bu. . compared
with 2alOUO bu. th'p week before nnd with
3,149,000 bu. the similar" week a year ago
Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were HOI
'
cars , against 5SB 'the Saturday previous
lint the offerings , tviilch from 7Go to ll\bt \
had been qulto light , becuino heavy at the
latter ) prii'u , nnd excoedevd. Uiqiram.punt
wanted. The people who had boeu buyers
for the lost three days sold freely lit nrouni
77c , and the market after that tlrn'gged uni
looked a trltlo tired In the end. Mny workei
down from 77Hc to 76f/7C'.ic. ' and closed aL
from 76'&c ' to 7 ( > rj8C , nn improvement for the
day of Uc. New York reported that no ex
port business had bcon done today. The
Atlantic port clearances of Wheat and flour
for today were equal to 200,000 bu.
Corn was'llrm and the business1 done was
comparatively heavy , a great deal til evenIng -
Ing up being done. The strength ofvhcat
and the extraordinary demand for corn
for export wore both e-Iemcnts In creating
the firmness , which ruled throughout the
session. Export clearances for the week
were C.4-11,420 bu. , which much exceeds the
quantity exported on tiny previous week in
the history of the trade. May opened un
changed at 21'c , advanced to 2IVjC and
closed steady at 2i c.
Oats held lirm all day. Indirectly through
sympathy with wheat nml corn , the
strength of those markets Influencing local
shorts to even up their trades. Scalpers
did the greater part of the selling. May
opened a shade higher nt from 17c to
Provisions were dull and weak on the
larger receipts of hogs than expected and
lower prices sit the yards. Packers were
the chief sellers , most of the support com
ing from the outside. The range of prlccn ,
however , was very narrow. At the close
May pork was EC lower at from $7.93 to
$7.9716. May lard a shade lower nt $4.0214
and May ribs about Cc lower at S4.07',4.
Estimated receipts Monday : Wheat , 20
cars ; corn , 1.SO cars ; oats , 2GO cars ; hogs ,
40,000 head.
