CHICAGO , Oct. 13. Somewhere between
Omaha and Denver a package containing
, $14,000 has been lost. The money was sent
by registered package by a bank In Chicago
to a financial Institution In the west. Inspector
specter James H. Stuart of the post-
ofllco department and bis men have
bun herd at work on the case
Ecvcral days , but their endeavors can trace
the money westward from Chicago only as
far as Omaha , At that point all records of
the small fortune are lost. The authorities
refuse to give either thu name ot the bank
tending the money or the one to which the
package Is consigned , i
Postmaster Martin was shown the above
telegram and said It brought the first In
formation ho had received that any such
package had been lost In the malls. Ho
thought thcro must bo a mistake In con
necting Omaha with the loss , for he en til
that It the Inspectors had traced the pack
age as far as Omaha he would surely have
known something of the work being done
on that line. Further , he said that If the
Omnlia olfico had been connected In any way
with the loss the department would more
likely lm\e telegraphed him In reference
to It.
Postmaster Bowman of Council Bluffs was
first liiformod by the representative of The
Bee of the missing money package. He had
received no Intimation from the Postolllcu
department that the package ha.1 been lost
and was at first almost Inclined to doubt the
accuracy of the Chicago report. Ho at once
net about making an. Investigation to ascer
tain If the missing pouch had passed through
the branch postolllcc at the transfer. It did
not take long to discover that it had no.t and
lie uttnied a great sigh of relict when he
concluded his Investigations.
All of the mall that Is hitmght in by the
eastern trains Is transferred at the Union
Pacific trat iifer depot and the Postofilco de
partment maintains an office there for the
purpose of handling this mall. Thu office Is
rated as a branch of the Council Bluffs otllce
nnl Is under the control of the postmaster
there. Deputy postmasters are on duty there
night and day all ot the time. During the
greater part of Postmaster Bowman's ad
ministration W. C. Untharik and John Plumcr
have had charge of the olllco and are there
now. The through pouches from Chicago
nre never taken into the office unless there
Is a delay In the arrival of the fast mall
trains. The pouches come In on the Burling
ton fast mall , which reaches the transfer at
2:40 : each afternoon. If the Burlington train
is so late that the- Union Pacific cannot wait
for It the pouches are taken Into the transfer
offices and receipted for , and again receipted
for when they are put aboard the Union
Pacific trains and consigned to the care of
the mall agent. If the Union Pacific train
does not wait for the arrival of the Burling
ton tlc ( pouches arc kept In the branch
office all night and are put aboard No. 1 ,
Union Pacific , the following morning. When
there Is no delay the pouches are trans
ferred from thu malt car on the Burlington
to the Union Pacific car as the two trains are
standing side by side , the postal clerks ex-
changl g their receipts as they stand In the
doorways of their cars.
Postmaster Bowman's investigations dis
closed the fact that for the last two months
there had been , no time when the Burlington
failed to deliver Its mall to the Union Pacific
on schedule time , and the through pouches
had not jiasicnl through the hands of any
' . person connected with' the branch postofilcc.
Both Postmaster Bowman and the deputy
postmasters nt the branch office hold keys to
'thcso ' pouches , but the key at the branch
office Is never used Unless the pouch Is re
ceived In a damaged conditloand it is neces
sary to rtpouch the contents. Then the
numbers on the registering locks are taken
and recorded In books kept for that purpose.
It la an e-nsy matter tcr uncertain every per
son who has Inserted a key Into the circular ,
self-registering lock from the time It starts
until It reaches Its ddstlnatloni. _

1 1 oil I lieu Ijiniiln ,
At the session ot the Presbyterian synod
it Neb'askn last evening a largo congregation
nearly filled the auditorium of the First
'resbytcrlan church. After brief devotional
xerclses and a well rendered anthem by the
liinrtct choir , Rev. Samuel J , Nlcpols , D. D. ,
f St. Louis , a member of the Presbyterian
loanl of Home Missions , was Introduced and
Icllvcred what was esteemed by many
ireacher * nnd laymen to be the best address
lellvored before the Nebraska synod In scv-
ral years , Dr. Nlccols spoke without the
uggcstlon of a note or other aid and In such
i pleating manner and fine voice that the
rdlnary rules of the sanctuary were BUS-
icndcd and ho was warmly applauded.
Ir < his Introductory remarks Dr. Nlccols
aid that this was the first tlmo he had had
ho plenturc of looking the synod of Ne
braska In the face. The stories pf the hard-
hip on the frontier and of suffering on the
> lalns had prepared him to find In the Nc-
iraska. synod the stalwarts ot the faith. He
md previously formed n high opinion of the
'usbytcrlans of Nebraska and he should not
change that opinion ur.tll some very strong
evidence to the contrary were presented.
GOD IN OUU iHISTOHY. , „
Ho salJ the field of the home missionary
vork of the church was- largo one , greater
a extent than that of Imperial Home bad
ever been. But Its physical magnitude was
not the greatest ) feature of mission work in
America. The American people now number
icarly 75,000,000 , an.l the majority are of the
\nglo-Saxon race. "The early history of
his country Is that of Isolation and religious
recdom. iHu who falls to see God Ir , our
ilstory falls to read our history aright. The
line of Columbus and Cabot was-jbout that
of Luther , Knox and Calvin. The discovery
of America was contemporaneous with the
reformation. When the formative period of
our history had been pnsseJ , when this coun-
ry had emerged through the trial of fire
iiid blood of the awful civil war , the Isolation
hat had characterized Its earlier history
lad disappeared , and1 It was In close contact
vlth the most enlightened nations of the
earth. Gladstone has &Jld that America holds
he key to the world's history. So It does.
. ' ' Is a power In the commercial world. It Is
n the best missionary position for ev.ingcllz-
ug the world. When the spread of the
ospcl ceases , when this land of ours be
comes Chrlstlcss , Its doom will be sealed and
t will go down under a load of materialism.
"One hundred years ago the church In the
cast was sending its missionaries to the fron
tier , which was then located about the head
waters "of the Ohio river. Fifty years ago
the frontier had moved westward to nearer
this locality. Twenty-five years ago the mis
sionaries who went out to the frontier were
sent to the Rocky mouatnlns and beyond.
Now there Is no frontier. Gradually pushed
westward , It has disappeared altogether.
Now there Is as much missionary work In
the cast as In the west. Today nearly every
metropolitan pastor Is compelled to be a city
missionary. There is no greater missionary
field In the world today than In our great
cities. They are the stormcenters of the
country. There the vicious and the Idle
gather. To the great cities are pressing the
discontented classes ot this and other na
tions and there la where the church must do
Its great missionary work today.1'
MORMONISM A DISGRACE.
Dr. Nlccols spoke briefly of tho' missionary
w'brlr among the , Mexicans , the Mormons , the
foreign Immigrants and _ "the mountain
whites" of the south. * He 'spoko of Mormon
Ism as a disgrace to ( ho nation and termed
Its marital practices as a bold affront to mor
ality and civilization. In speaking of the
work among that peculiar class of southern
ers , "the mountain whites , " he said their
condition was almost pathetic. Sprung from
a parentage that had borne a noble part In
the revolutionary war and participated In
the war of the rebellion , these people , he de
clared , were today estranged to all forms of
civilization and Christianity and were In
sore need of missionaries. Among all these
classes , Dr. Nlccols said , the missionary's
work compared favorably with that rclateil
in the Acts of the Apostles. During the last
year over $700,000 had been spent by the
board ho represented In the work of home
m'eslons ' , and 1,824 missionaries had been
supported. There was more work to bo done
In the future , and with the evident return
of prcspcrlty he believed greater eontrlbu-
tlors should come Into the board's treasurj
during the coming year.
After the hearty singing of "God Bless
Our Native Land" by the congregation , "Dr.
John Glllesplo of New York was Introduced
and for thirty minutes spoke eloquently o !
the needs of the foreign missions of the
Prcibyterlan church. He said that Voltaire
had once remarked that an educated man
was one who was not willing to survey the
universe from his own parish belfry. So he
thought with regard to missions it reciulret
a very broad view to comprehend the field
Ho said there was no adequate belfry which
did not have Its center In Gethsemane.
OPPOSITION IN INDIA.
Dr. GUIesple then spoke of the opposition
the Chrjstlun mlslsonarles encountered ,
clally In India. The opposition of the cults
the maintenance of colleges In India attendee
by over 1,000 pupils teaching nco-mohametUm
brought up to the needs of the nlnctecntl
century , were all cited to show the activity o
those who held , religious beliefs different from
that taught by the Christian mlslsonaries
He said : "Don't believe those who tell yoi
that the heathen temples are going to pieces
They uru not. I saw them rebuilding many In
India. All Is activity among these pccpl
who arc bringing their peculiar religious be
llefs up to the demands of the present age
I received a letter only n short time ago fron
a missionary In Jsran , In which It was salt
that the Buddhist missionaries there had Jus
formed a Christian Endeavor society. Til
touch of life of the gospel Is arousing th
teachers of the old 1'alths ' and quickening th
efforts of the priests , "
In conclusion , Dr. Glllesple told what th
Christian people must do to further the work
of their forel < : n missions. He spoke of th
progress made durlug the past year in sev
cral ot the foreign fields , and said that the
movement ampng the schools and the college ;
of this land p-cparlng foreign inltislonarlo
was only retarded by a lack ot 'funds will
which to send out all those who desired tc
give their Ihes to the work of the Master li
foreign fields.
, NEW MODERATOR ELECTED.
Yesterday morning the time of the synod
was entirely devoted to routine matters
Including rcporU from the various depart
ments of work which were referred to the
committees. After the devotional exercltes
which opened the session Hev. D , U. Kerr
D.D. , of Bellcvuo waa elected moderator U
succeed Hev. Sloan , Thomas Darnell of Lin
coln and Rev. W , R , Williams of Pawnee
City were elected clerks. The rccvption of
reports occupied the time until 11 o'clock
when Hev. W. P. Kane , D.D , , of Blooomlng-
ton delivered an addrtts on "College Aid. '
Thin was more properly a report of the work
of the Board of Aid und afforded Howe 'Inter
esting Information In regard to what bad
been accoiuplUhed by this branch of the
general work ot the church. Rev. Kane
stated In Introduction that the published ac
counts r > f the financial difficulties of ( lie
board hud been materially exaggerated and
that while It bad encountered gome cllsasterj
tuero was never more reason for satisfaction
with th& past or a brighter outlook for the
future than at the present time.
The bpesker briefly sketched the history ol
the origin and development of the work and
eald that during the fourteen jears thai
the board had been In existence It had an-
slttcJ fifty-seven Institutions , ueatterct
through twenty-four states and territories.
ThCfcu Institutions comprehended 42,638 i
ctudents , of whom 2,2(7 ( were preparing for' '
the mlulelry U had collected and clU- '
bursed ; i.221.093.08 , and , while mistaken
might have occurreJ , the assistance had be u
wisely distributed.
It U not generally known that the author
ot the well known uywii , "We Are One Day
Neater Homo , " 1 * litv. IJ. ! ! . Hunt , ot present

past ten years Mr. Hunt bas been pastor ot
the Ilurr Oak IVesbyterhn church. In that
town. Mr. Hunt w g also pastor for ten
years ot St. Stephen's church , Fortieth and
I'owclton avenue , Philadelphia.
Yesterday nfteiimrm ai''res8cs were made
by Hev. C. 0. Murphy nnd Uev. JoMah 1'oeton
upon home mlsslcnitry work. When they
were concluded , Mrs , H. S. Oflswell , who has
had long experience In missionary work , con
ducted a "question box , " and was piled with
ci considerable number ot qticrrlcs rcgardliR |
the work. A vcy Interesting hour was tpent
In this fashion. The convention then ad
journed sine die. The place and tlmo for
holding the next j ear's meeting Is to bo
doMded upon at the convention that Is being
hold today.
This convention Is the twenty-fourth an
nual meotlnR of the Nebraska branch ot the
Woman's Heard ot Missions of the Interior.
This body may be considered a complement
cf the other , ns It deals with foreign nils-
slons , whllo the other has In hand .the man-
uccment of home minions. The convention
will bo called to order nt 9:30 : o'clock this
mornlnR In the First Congregational church ,
and will adjourn this evening , The delegates
to It arc the same DB thcso to the homo mis
sionary union.
As n preliminary to the convention a mcct-
IHK was held at the church last night , chiefly
for the benefit of the younger missionaries
and oiwspectlvo missionaries In the Cong'oga-
tlonat churches of the city. It was an "even
ing with our Junlcr and senior Christian 12n-
dcavorers. " A goodly audience was present ,
among which were a largo number of chil
dren.
As was appropriate to the character of the
affair a creator portion ot the entertainment
was In the hands ot children. After a rcmllng
rom the scriptures and a prayer , a little
'fTort ' was rendered by some fifty children
elected Orem the coven Congregational
huiches In the city. It was entitled the
'Junior Garden , " nnd was meant to convey
ome Idea of the work the Junior Endeavortri ?
vcro doing. The children Bang a dozen dlf-
erent songs very Orettlly.
Ci W. Hill delivered with ve'y good voice
rid effect the address , now quite well known ,
nade by Ames It. Wells of Boston before the
rational convention ot the ChflstVin Kmlenv-
rera nt San Francis o en tha "Tenth Legion "
This legion Is being made up of persons who
ilcdgo themselves to give a tenth of their
ncomc to church and missionary work. Mr.
Ull employed the effective Illustrations Mr.
Wells used , showing the dls-c [ < iatlon that
ixlsts between the amount the people ot the

know there are thousands who want to trade at such a store
and we mean to fasten them to The Nebraska with bonds of
