A meeting of people living In the western
part of the city 'was held at Twenty-ninth
and Farnam streets last night to dtocuss the
proposed central boulevard. TJo attendance
was not so large as at the meeting held In
the .southern part of town last week , but in
all other respects the meeting was fully as
sucreusful and a motlco was unanimously
adopted favoring the proposed scheme.
Among these present were : Park Commis
sioners Tukey , Cornish and Hates , Councilmen -
men Stuhtand Mercer , City Engineer Andrew
n -sowator. Chides Huntlngton , Charles Tur
ner , M. A. Hall , E. L. Stone , County Comml.i-
Blcaor W. I. Klerstuad , II. H. Harder , Jccia-
than Edwards , J. A. Heverly and John II.
Butler.
The meeting was called to order by Presi
dent Tukoy of the Hoard of Park Commis
sioners , who explained that the board desired
to learn Uio sentiments of the pocplo In the
( inrts of town through which the boulevard
will pass and If thrso pceplo favor the Idea
and wish It carried out the board stands
ready to do no.
The principal address of the evening was
made by Park Commissioner 13. J. Cornish ,
who described fully the i. > rrt > osed route of
the boulevard from Hlvervlow park to the
west and northwest , skirting lloiidcom park ,
crossing Farnam slreel al Thlrty-llrat nn > l
cnidlnit at Twenty-sixth and Hurt streets. Ilu
described In detail the beautlca of HID pro
posed street ami tl.'e advantage * to residents
In all partis of the city of a diagonal street
connecting thu districts which ecu now bo
reached only In a round-abaut way , and npnkn
nt Eomo length of the advantages to surround
ing puberty of n Ivnilevard and aucccoslon of
small parks such -is la proposed In connec
tion with the Bchemo under consideration.
Ho referred to the generous donation of a
consldetablo trad of land near Thirty-first
nnd Farnam streets by Chnrlrs Turner whltfi
IE Included In the proposed v\\n and compli
mented the donor In a neit speech.
At tlm conclusion of Mr. Cornish's folk
Councllir.'in Mercer n.ikcd why the boulevard
fito-ed at Hurt street and suggested that It
fchould to carried wesl p.nd enlor Hernia park.
A. W. Fitch as present from the north
( xirt of town and ho arose to suggest that
tilt" rcoplo of ( hit section ddslred lo see the
. boulevard continued north by way of Twenty ,
njtith street to connect with Thirtieth street
and nnd at Florence.
DIVERSE VIEWS.
Commissioner Cornish fllmply pointed out
tbesa diverse views regarding the northern
terminus of the boulevard as the comlltlnnu
which had Impelled the park board to end
the proposed route at Hurt street , leavln : :
the mitlnuatlan ( or future consideration.
Ho said there seemed to be no conflict of
opinion regarding the route up to tluit
paint , hut that beyond It thcro was a grift
division of sentiment and for that riMson
It had been decided to let ( ho matter rest
thcro until 1tio houlvard Is completed tul. !
far , after which ho had no doubt It would
be found both nerc.iMrj' aiul feasible to cx-
Ilr , AKIUMV'H Ciilnrrliitl ,1'oivdrr.

tend It to Hemls park nnd also to the north
either by way of Twenty-ninth or Thirtieth
street or to a connection with the Nine
teenth street boulevard.
City Engineer Ilosewnter was called for
and Bpoko briefly. Ho discussed the merit *
o ; streets which follow the natural con
tour of the ground and discussed the grades
of the proposed boulevard , which ho saU
would make the finest driving street In the
city. It will be. necessary , he said , to go
Dclow the grades of these streets rumilnn
cast and west , which have been graded
above the line of the 'boulevard , and tbls
will necessitate the construction of viaducts
on these streets. Tlu o will cost .from
$7,500 to $10.000 , according to the width
of the street creasing the boulevard , ana
will require some tlmo to construct , out
the result will bo a driveway which will
bo a most desirable acquisition.
Chairman Tukoy requested nny poreon
who had any criticism to malio or any que.i-
tlon to ask concerning the plan to tike the
opportunity of expressing his Ideas freely.
and a number of questions were asked con
cerning minor details of the plan , regard
ing the width of the roadway , etc. , nut no
ono had any criticism to mako.
County Commissioner Klerstcad then
moved that the meeting approve tliy pan :
for the boulevard In order that the finaiM
of Park Commissioners mlqht understand
the EcnMmenta ot the people living along
the line of the proposed Improvement. Thi *
motion was put to a vote and was adopted
unanimously.
J. A. Hovorly then moved that the meet-
Inn extend a vote of thanks to Charles Tur
ner for his donation to the city of a tract !
of land lying along the route of the pro
posed boulevard. This was also adopted
without a dhsentlng vote and the meeting
adjourned.

A thoughtful dlscneslon was held at Tem
ple Israel last night upon "Taking the World
as It Is. " Dr. Franldin gave the opinion
thu the Insufficient plea contained In his
subject , was a moat unmanly way In which
to face wrong condition. ? and said that It
was the embodiment of selfishness and weak-
iicas to accept Injustice and sin with the plea
that wo must take things as they aro. Ho
pointed out that mankind (3 ( made up of
the strong and the weak , the wise and ig
norant , and ho held that It was a binding
duty for the strong aud wise to impart these
traits to others.
j ' In continuing this thought Dr. Franklin
said : "Though the expression may bo trlto
the truth of It Is terse that the world con
sists of nniiy kinds of people. Sldu by side ,
shoulder to shoulder , fainthearted and hero
rush along In the race of life. The merry
and the anl , the IhnugUtful and the frivo
lous , are not surprised to find themselves
In each other's company. There Is no walk
of life lu which ono portion of humanity
may say that It Is his alone. The world Is
a Ilibal In which not only languages , but
temperaments , chaiacteia and endowments
'aro lu confusion. Whether these Inequall-
ties are a curse , as held In blblo times , maybe
bo questioned , as the world might otherw'no
be a prosy placu and oven painfully tedious.
And Just as It requires poles In a battery
there Is needed the meeting , of divergent fac
tors to reach great results. There is no hap
piness , however , in human contact , which is
not congenial and wlicn thcro la no sym
pathy In common , and on this earth the
scholar must sit besldo the Ignoramus , Innocence -
nocenco must meet guilt and purity , tainted
elu ,
"When wo ask how thcso things nuy bo
changed a common answer Is given that you
cannot change the world anyway , so you
might an well take thlpgs as they arc. There
are many who do tlilg And live among men ,
prosperous and rcspcdted , but theirs Is not
a noble or generous life , If this doctrlno
wore sound ochools and churches might as
well close , moral and hoc'lal reformers might
na well become silent.That such a view
Is selfish nceJa no argument from mo , Jim
as It is equally obvious that solflshncs * U
the greatest sin of ihari. Suppose all the
great thought-muster had withheld the
product of tholr genius on this ground.
What If a Moses had allowed the Israelite *
to remain In the darkness of a Pharaoh's
domain and had not been allured by the
brightness of a promiso.1 laud ? What If a
Dante had looked on'the curses that wore
micklng the llfchlood frbm the morality of
his time and hold Ii1. ? ' peace , or If a Luther
had borne In Bllencu the abuses of his day
and allowed without protest the sale of noul
Indulgence ! ) ? If It had : not I'con for thcso
and others our thought victories , our m-
tlonal honor would never have descended to
us and the world would bo a pit of cor
ruption , mantled In a blackness of solfUh-
nMB. The Idea that wo must take the world
as It Is would bo the dcathstroke of Idealism
and the destruction of all noble Impulicii.
"The efforts of the reformer may not bo
Immediately discernible , but as drops o.
water bore their way through the rock oo
'at length will continued effort work an
avenue Into inun'n hearts. For It U not
Jewish doctrlno that men are radically baa.
cursed by the sin of a mythical ancestor ,
but that evil Is rather the result ot Ignorance -
ranco and wrong education , If men err
through Ignorance , therefore , they may be
taught , and If through vice they must be
corrected. Hut sui'h conditions should not
bo eternalized by saying that wo cannot
change things. The world wust be bolter ,
I purified , ennobled and there Is yet too mntU
j of Ignorance , sin and bigotry to take things
I as they are. Genius will not be restrained
from speech , but will gather strength from
! strength and add truth to truth until
' Idealism will grow so attractive to men thai
they will yearn to put the seal ot realism
on It. "
The subject announced for the lecture next
week Is , "A Fortunate Coincidence. " A
i notice was given out for a Sunday meeting
on Sunday afternoon for those who are in
terested in the success of the coming fair.

evinced great Intercut In the proceeding. ) .
Assistant County Attorney Jeffrels repre
sented the s.ato , while Attorney W. C. Lam
bert appeared for Klein.
Fully two dozen witnesses were examined
and at the close of thu 'testimony ' Judjje
Chrlstmann announced that lie would take
tliu case under advisement and render a de
cision at noon today. Two of the 'Icachers '
at thu llrown Park school testified as to the
aotloas of Klein and Dragoon on Monday last
when they called to see the little girl. Then
Janitor Wykcrt told about how ho had been
compelled to order Klein and Dragoor from
the school building. Witnesses testified that
during the call at the school house Klein
stnted that hu wax a representative of an
orphan asylum and was anxious to procure
in good homo for 'tho ' Popper girl. One wit
ness , Miss "Evans , stated that In her opinion
Preacher Klein was Intoxicated when he
called at the school , and other witnesses
told about Klein and Dragoon drinking to
gether.
Klein went on thu stand In his outi be
half during the afternoon and 'told how he
had mot a man on a train a couple of weeks
ago who had told him about a girl In South
Omaha who needed a better homo. Witness
stated that ho was anxious to adopt a girl
who was eld enough to assist his wlfo and
would bo company for his 8-year-old son.
Wltncna H'atcd that ho hail been pastor of
a Christian church at Unadllla. Neb. , until
December 10 , when ho left. At present he
waq living at Lincoln , although he expected
to obtain a charge at Orotna. Some Inquiry
we * iniidu by Attorney Jefferls Into the
financial standing of Klein lit order to show
that ho was not In a jrasltlon to assume
any moro responsibilities. It waa claimed
by some ol ' .Ini witnesses that Klein repre
sented that ho was a detectlvo , while others
cjsertcd 'that ' they understood him to nay
that hu was u government officer. The
preacher admitted that ho had taken a few
drinks with Dragoon , but Intimated that It
v.'jfi no ono's business. In summing up thu
evidence Attorney Jeffrols admitted that the
statu was weak In that It had not been ablu
11 prove actual arrest or detention of the
girl , r.tid ho regretted , hu said , that the
laws ot this -state did not make provision
for punUhlng persons who attempted to steal
children.
