COLONEL II1GGINS IS OMAHA loDth-Tncku'B Chief Assistant Vifits the Army Hero. SPEAKS TO MEN AT Y , M. C , A , BUILDING Polntn Oilt ( \rrrimlljr lit OlirUt ( < > Siilviitlnn mill Hit * Futility of All r.irorlN Wlth- out Him , Colonel HlKglna of New York , \vho Is second end to Commissioner Dooth-Tiickcr In com mand of the Salvation Army , reached Omaha over the Missouri Pacific from Kansas Cits' yesterday afternoon. He was met at the depot by Mayor Moora's carriage and was taken direct to the Young -Men's Christian association building , where the regular 4 o'clock meeting was devoted to an address by him to men. In addition to a Urge rep resentation of the local "hallelujah" soldiers , thcro was moro than the usual attendance of members and patrons of the association , The meeting was held on the second tloor and the parlors , llbtary nnd reading rooms were packed to the dosrs. Secretary p , L. Willis conducted the meeting and Frank J , Healer Bang a baritone selection with a very pleas ing volco and method , I'rof , iMatthcws spoke briefly by way of calling attention to the educational featured of the association work nnd Secretary Willis emphasized his remarks by referring to the opportunities I hat were offered at almcat no expense at all , The man who wanted to Improve himself and qualify himself for better things was given the opportunity. If he persisted In spending his time on the street , It was his own fault. The address of Colonel Illgglna was char acteristic of the work In which he Is en gaged , 'lit- ' made no oratorical pretensions , but contented himself with an earnest ap peal to slnnors to dovolu their lives to bet ter ends. He spoke rapidly and at times With considerable effect , and frequently emphasized his points by relating Incidents of his experience In salvation work. He flrst commended the work of the Young Men's Christian association , which he declared Is always entitled to respect because It la founded on Ocd's word and Ita power to save. The noblest purpcsu In life Is to seek the fallen , The only real nntldote for sin Is the gcspcl of Jesus Christ. If all the world would accept It , It would drlvo away all poverty anrJ sorrow and heaven would come down to earth. Ho referred brlelly to the vitality of Christianity. They had tried to drown It In the blood of martyrs nnd to burn It In the fires of persecution , but the life- that Christ gave had survived all opposition and had como down to this day with all Its inherent purity and pswer. 'He disavowed the Idea that Christianity la not tcday what It had been In olden times. He contended that It Is doing moro good In the world today than over. In these times men are not burnt for their religion or thrown Into HOPS' dons but the devil Is not dead. He Is working more slyly , but not less vigorously to pre vent the establishing of the kingdom of Christ on earth. The speaker emphasized the necessity of a clear-cut faith in Christ , If the cause Is to progress in the years to come as it has In those gone by. Outside of this faith noth ing has power to bring hope and joy and dispel doubt nnd wretchedness. He had suf fered as a man but as a God he had broken the bonds of death. 'Friends ' , however help ful and BjniratlilzhiR , could not save the soul , Not even a mother's prayers could eufllce , but salvation must be obtained through the personal faith of the Individual , EVENING SERVICES. la the evening Colonel Hlgglns occupied the pulpit of thb First Methodist church , sharing the honor with Mayor Frank E. Mcoiui. The services were In charge of En sign W. J. Carter , who , together with his Wife , a local officer of the Salvation Army , had seats on the rostrum. jTho meeting WES conducted on'the lines of a Salvation Army gatheringnd the semblance was still further emphasized by the fact that almost the en tire flrS't cor.s of the army was seated In the front pews. After an opening prayer and remarks by Ensign Carter Mayor Moores Introduced Colonel Hlgglns to the congregation , In his remarks the mayor gave > i brief statistical outline of the growth of the army In this coriatry since It began operations In 18S1. At the present time tliue are 748 corps , with an cfflcial staff of 2,2fl2 , engaged In active field work cf converting non-Christians. The Bcclal department , which looks after the physical welfare cf the man and women the army meets now consists of twcnty-cno shelters for meo three for women , nine rca- cue homes , eight workshops , three farm colonies , three children's homes , fifteen alum stations , six salvage corps and blx labor bureaus. In summing up the mayor stated that the time had boon when the Sa'.vat ons.s ! had been subjected to abuse and ridlcu'e ' , but now their work had the respect of almcat everyone. Mayor Moores In erspersed his re marks with the usual pleasantries acd alto gether made such a good figure In the pul pit that ho was rewarded with a round of ap. Finis e. Colonel Illgglna defined the army as but one regiment of thegmul army engaged In the work of spreading the gospel. The three qualities that , only cou'd ' keep the Salvation ist In the army were absolute self-abandon ment , consecration to the single purpose of saving souls and earnestness In the work. The army , ho said , Is not confined to coun try. It does not believe that Its work lies solely In the homo flcldn and that the heathen could safely bo allowed to continue In Idolatry becnrso they do not know bet ter. On the other hand , the nnny believes In spreading the gospel as widely as pos sible , and In consequence has gene into for eign floldH. Men and women are taking their HVCQ In their hands and gladly layIng - Ing them down In the efiort to convert the heathen. The result In dark India alone Uf that 25,000 of the Inhabitants have been enrolled In the army and the same can be eaid of Africa and other foreign lands. HOME WOHK , Colonel Hlgglns then referred to the homework work and Incidentally stated that the army was being supported In Its work largely ly the same class among which It labored. The poor people were the ones who helped most and upon whom the army depended. Thousands of drunkards have been reformed. Army lasses gave up their lives to succor their fallen staters. Every year 8,000 of tltpso women go through the rescue homes mid SO per cent of the number are reclaimed. Colonel Hlgglns said that ho did not believe In abolishing prisons , but ho thought it fclioulcl not forever militate against a man or wonvw because boor she might have eerved sentences for offenses against the law. Heferrlng to the nodal department , Colonel Hlgglns denied that the army was setting osldo the matter of Having souls to ave bodies. It was always the business of the nrmy to ssvo souls. It woe often found nec essary to deal flint with the social condi tion of the men and women that fell In the way , but the army always tried to point out the way to nalvatlon In Its deeds of mercy , Speaking of the army's methods , "people , object to our music , to our 'nolso' " he said , "They object to many of our features , Hut wo go ahead , Wo are not quite conven tional , but wo will not quarrel with the churches over that. You have beautiful buildings and beautiful service * ) , YoQ help God whenever you can. You would gladly welcome the evil and alnful to your pews , Hut they won't como. The ualoone , their evil habits , their slim , hold them. They go on In their way regardless of your beautiful churches and beautiful services. Wo say wo will go after them. Wo have our music , our 'nolso,1 our processions , and get people * * * * * " ILLINOIS AT THE EXPOSITION , f ! ILLINOIS STATE DUILDINO. ( Deilgn accepted br the Illinois commission of tbo Trnns-Mlislssippl xpoitlon. ! ) that never would have hoird of salvation but for our peculiarities. Would you not rather that the Salvation army ehould shout , oven If the nolso Is a little loud , than to lis ten to drunken brawls ? Would you not rather hear the rattle of the drum than that the wives and children should be neglected and homes ruined ? Wo go on. Wo claim no greatness , but serve Clod with sincere purpose. " Member Carter of the army rendered a couple of Salvation army songs , set to pop ular airs , with a guitar accompaniment. This , with the singing of the congregation , formed the musical part of the services. Colonel Hlgglns was the gUcst of Mayor Moores during the few hours ho was In the city. Ho left last night for Chicago. TO CIJH13 UUI.Il IX OXI3 DAY Toke Laxative Dromo Quinine Tablets. All druggists refund Hie money If It tails to cure. 25c. The genuine has L. H , Q. on each tablet.

INDIANS AT THE EXPOSITION Mooney of the Ethnological Bureau Has a Unique Plan. EACH TRIBE TO BE NATURALLY LOCATED } lii | > of ( InU 11 1 ( od Slates oil n t' SnlIH ! < Mit to Himliic- the reNontatliiii of Kxuut Na tural Condition * . A relief map ot the United States , con structed on a gigantic scale and covering an area of about fifty acres , is the basis sug gested by James Mooney ot the Ethnological Bureau of the Interior department , on which to show In tangible form the nborlgm.il condition of the American Indian , ats a. part of the Indian exhibit of the Tratismlsslsalpyl Exposition. Sir. Mooney has made a close study of the Indian during the last twenty years and Is one of the most voluminous writers and thorough Invcstlgatots of the many scholarly attaches of the Ethnological bureau. He la the author of the report on the far-famed "ghost daticc , " which occup'es ' one complete volume ot the fourteenth annual report of the bureau and which Is a most exhaustive analysis of the' sacred religious ceremony which led to the battle ot Wounded Knee. Mi1. Mooney passed through Omaha seveial weeks ago enroute to the southwestern part of the United States to resume hi ! studies among the Indians of that section. He stopped In the city a few days and man ifested great Interest In the yrojected Indian exhibit which has been extensively talked of as ono of the prominent features of the exposition of the great states which have been carved out of the hunting grounds of the Indians within the lant half-century. During his stay In Oinata Mr. Mooney made sevcml suggestions as to interesting features which would add to the attractive ness and scientific value of the Indian ex hibit , some of these suggestions being made public In thcso columns at the time. Since reaching tbo field of his labors In the south west he has formulated other suggestions , among them bo cig Iho plan for the relief map of the United States. Accordidg- the pcn ! outlined by Mr , Mooney the relief map referred to Is pro posed as a medium for showing the distri bution' of the various Indiaa tribes at the time when the first bettlers from the Old World landed on the Ehores of North Amer ica and also to show the aboriginal house types of the United States or the peculiar style of dwelling characteristic ot each Indian tribe , together with suitable delegations ot Indians representing each of the distinctive tyifea. TRIBES WERE NUMEROUS. Mr. Mooney says that there are about 130 ofllelully recognized Ind.an tribes gathered on about flfty reservations In the United States anJ thcac , with the Incorporated rcm- nan's of otherwise extinct trlb'es , make a total of perhaps three times that number , representing the aboriginal occupants of the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific and trom the jikcs to the gulf. "Each tribe was a political unit , " says Mr. Mconcy ; "not necessarily d.flercat from It * Immediate neighbors In haSlt and home lift , although the languages might be dissimilar and the tribes themselves mutually hls- tile. Tribes dependent upon the same geographical graphical ccndltlors differed only la minor particulars. These living In the timber re gion of the east , with abundant rains and fertile soil , built their dwellings of poles and bark as the most con\enlcnt material and subsisted as much by agriculture as by the chase. "Tho Pueblo trlbcn of the southwest , dwelling in a region .a'.mest devoid of timber , water or game , built their houses of Btoce snd kept close to the few springs which enabled them to raise the corn and beans which formed their main subsistence , Wood being scarce , they made their vc&sels of clay and developed the art of pottery to a high stage. Compelled to stay In one pMco , tbelr architecture assumed a permanent character and , being unwijrllke , they took refuge on the mc-sas to esca.o their enemies. "Tho tribes of the plains , depending , with few exceptions , almost entirely upon tlto buffalo , were compelled to follow It In Its migrations and wcro thus debarred from agriculture or the manufacture of euah fragile mater'al as pottery. Forced to move frequently and In light marching order , they developed the skin tei > co as the most con venient and portable style of dwelling. En vironment determined arts , customs and modes of life. "All the Indians of the United States maybe bo classified Into about twenty-five archi tectural and Industrial types , taking the dwelling structure as the tangible Inse , around which are grouped the household utensils , agricultural belongings aud the burial and ceremonial structures. " Mr. Mooney described briefly and con cisely the peculiar typo ot dwelling char- acterl/itla of each of the greit types of the American Indian. These Include the "long houso" ot the famous "Six Nations , " or Iroquols of Now York and weotern Pttmsyl- vanla , the most powerful federation of In dian tribes within the knowledge of the white man. The dwelling tjpo of these tribes was thus described : " 1C was fitly or 100 foot long and consisted of a strong frame of upright poles set In the ground , which wcro strengthened with horizontal poles at tached with wlthrs and surmounted with a triangular , and In some cases with a round roof , covered with bark , tied with strings of splints ; Interior divided Into rooms at In tervals of six or eight feet , with bed plat forms around Inside and open passageway running the whole length of the building. " The baUEo typo ot the MamUns of the upper Missouri Is described as a round log structure covered with earth , forty feet In diameter , five- fret high at circumference , twelvu to fifteen feet high lu center , with long covered passageway and Interior coin- partmcutM. The t'u ) of dwelling peculiar to each of the grand divisions of the tribes ls de scribed , together with ilia accessories in the way of household utensils , cacioes , ceremonial menial structures.burlaViu3tui'ns , etc. DETAILS OF HIS PLAN. "The very best method of exhibiting In tangible form the several tapes , " said Mr , Mooney , "Is by means of a large relief map of the United State ; , built up by competent engineers and landscape gardeners , on a ground BJH\CO of pcrbap > forty or fifty acres , upon wlikli suitable delegations ot IniH.ina representing each type , with their appro priate bouses , utensils and Industrial appli ances , burial structures , etc. , can be set down In the various portloni of the map cor responding to the section of country actually occupied by the tribes themselves. Each such camp need not occupy more -than half an acre on an average , but the relief map would have to be large enough to allow for tha proportionate vacant spaces. The map could bo made upon . raised terrace of as a basis , with broad , sweeping curves Ig noring minor Indentatlor.a tfor the coast lines ; Svlth the principal streams , or those particularly necessary , Indicated by means of actual streams of water flowing between raised banks also outHncd in broad curves. The general surface should bo sown In grass ito hold the soil nnd give a natural appear ance , and the mountains can bo f&shloned In tome form of papier jnache , or as In pro- vlous exhibitions for rock work of a skele ton of latha covered with sackcloth or can vas and palntod with 'mud paint. ' All the elevations , diking only the backbone ranges , fhould bo in due proportion , so that , aside from the use to which It Is put , the whole work would be a correct and unique map of our country on a gigantic scale. The path- wajs across the mountains and along the streams , to emble the visitors to go about the various camps , ehould be , as far as pos- elblc , along the lines of actual noted trails , such as the Santa. Fe trail , the California trail along the North Platte , etc. "In some unoccupied space on the relict map should bo a largo bulldlns of tepee form , to contain collections of Indian weapons , dresses , utensils , ceremonial-tilings , etc. , of various tribes , with photographic scries and ir.opg showing the distribution of the tribes and languages. In the same build ing could bo shown the work of Indian schools with other products of Indian civiliza tion , Including a Sioux or Cherokee printing press , with newspapers and books printed in Indian languages. This part of the ex hibit might be In charge of civilized Inllan students , or better , might be prepared and officered by the live clvllUcd tribes of Indian terrltcry. Tnese live tribes , having their own Independent governments , mlg.it prop erly bo Invltcj to make their own exhibit , which , whether much or little , would give the most adequate. Idea ot the capacity and limitations of the civilized Indian when actIng - Ing alone. This building of tepee form should bo built sufllctently high to have a lookout station at the top , from whlo might bo ob tained at a glance a blrdseye view of the whole relief map with the various camps. As Omaha is sufficiently near the center of the United States , this building might appro priately occupy that position en the- relief map. " no.vnoi.iints GOMIMJ nv AVVTUII.

GOLD DEMOCRATS UNCERTAIN Members Join the Bopnbllcan Party to Ably Resist Brynnism. ORGANIZATION MAY BE ABANDONED Uni-llil Ttnrlln SUJ-K He IK n Itc pub lican unit T. J. Slnlmnoy III In AVIIIInw t Wnlt f ' u' Little. Ever since the Chicago convention that element of the "democratic party that re fused t o foreaku the welt established prin ciples of Its pact for thb doubtful policies which were then sought to bo Inculcated .has occupied a unique and spectacular posi tion In American politics. According to their spokesmen the revolt which culminated In the national democratic convention at Indianapolis was not an ordinary secession of dissatisfied elements , nor did It 'rep resent the defeated personal ambitions' to which most political rebellions may be traced. In the convention at which the na tional democratic party was born were pres ent hundreds of the most distinguished lead. era of the old democracy. It was frequently declared that the new movement represented the brains of the democratic party and It la a matter of history that the ptsslon-lnsplrcd action of the Chicago convention alienated the men who for a quarter of n century had fought most effectively for democratic principles The vigorous light which was waged by the gold democrats during the fol lowing campaign was one of the- remarkable features of that struggle. Up to this time the organization of the party has been maintained and now the question of Its future policy Is of general interest. There has been no concerted actlcei of the leaders of the gold democracy In Nebraska with regard to the campaigns of the future. Hut the expressions of their Individual be liefs point almost without exception In one way. They -agree that whllo the mainte nance of a separate and distinct organization may have Its advantages the experience of the last two campaigns has demonstrated that It is not practical politics. They have found the hulk of their followers not content merely to register their devotion to a prin ciple. They prffer to place their votes where they will count against Mrynnlsm at their full value. Instead of casting half a vote for tha policy that they condemn by voting for a ticket of their own. MAHTIN AS A REPUBUCAM. In discussing the subject Euclid Martin ex presses himself substantially on these lines. He coys ho knows of no better definition of the situation than that given by Henry Watteison , who had declared that conscien tious democrats were left the choice of tvo things. They must either ally themselves with the Uryan democracy and support what ever policy It chooses to promulgate or they meet be republicans. "As far as I nm con cerned , " said Mr. Martin , "I will say this , If thesocalled democratic party should be re organized on the lines of Its previous prin ciples I shall hea democrat. Ilut If Bryan- Ism remains supreme I shall be a repub lican. " Referring to the light vote cast for the na tional democratic ticket In Nebraska this year Mr. Martin says It simply shows that the position taken by the leaders of the party Is well founded. They had recognized the fact that a certain element of their party would vote for Judge Sullivan from personal motives. Another clement would register Its disapproval of Dryanism by voting the re publican ticket. These who were left would not fairly represent the strength of the party and the result would be exactly what had occurred. The leaders had almcst unan imously declared against nominating a ticket In Nebraska this fall. Dut they were out voted In the convention and a ticket had been put In the field. The result was ex actly what iad been anticipated and only a small minority of the gold democrats bad voted for Mr. Swltzler. DEPENDS ON FUTURE ISSUES. That the future course of the gold demo crats will lorgely depend on the Issues to bo made Is the opinion of T. J. Maluney , who Is recognized as one of their leaders. "I have not conferred with any one on the subject , " si'ld Mr. Mahoney , "but ray per sonal belief Is that the organization should bo maintained for the present , at leasjt. What political situation will present ItseK In the next national campaign Is a question that Is too far away to be anticipated at this time. There arc so many things that may cccur In three years that might have u powerful effect on political Issues. As I re gard It now , It does not seem likely that the Issue of free silver , as It was presented during the last campaign , will be the up permost question In the next great battle. It was well said om the floor of the Chicago convention that no matter what Issues are Included In the platforms of political par- tics the battle will be fought on one single question. That Is the hlutory of politics In this country , and , I believe that the rule holds good. The united efforts of the news papers , the c'nvcntlous and the campaign orators cannot detract the attention of the voters from the one great Issue upper most In their minds. Wl-at this issue may be three years fr in now no one known.
