der his magic touch the bluff tract Is taking
on the appearance of a boiutlful park , and
with another'week of simitar weather the

and drives has beeo finished and all are
beginning to bud In prcparallon for their
leafy coat ; the making of flower beds Is
nearly completed and the portion of the
ground which Is to be covered with grass Is
to n advanced stage. In the main court a
largo fcrce of men Is norklog under Mr.
Ulrl'ch'a direction an'J ' here trcea have been
planted and terraces sodded. Altogether ,
over 200 men are employed In the landscape
department alone.
iDuIldlng operations are being pushed with
equal vigor and the grounds present an ac-
tlvo scf.ie. On the bluff tract a large force
of carpenters an'J staff workers are employed
on the Horticulture building and this Is rapIdly -
Idly rearing completion. The Montana

Many People For irn < hrr at the
firnnnilK Dnrlntr th Day.
In sunlight and ibidow yesterday and
later tn rain people gathered at the exposi
tion grounds to view tbo great show aa It
stands six weeks before the last day's work
'
I ) dono. The 'tuinsljlest jit he Sherman
avenue and Twcnty-fourtb street entranced1
moved qulio busily all day and at 5 o'clock
had registered the entrance of more than
2,000 people. That number fell 1,400 ehort
of the record of the preceding Sunday , but
tbat day pceeccaed the advantages of stable
anil flawless weather , vtlille that yesterday
was of an unreliable sort ,
Fully one-half ot the attendance yesterdav
was present during the houra usually set
opart for church service. The reality ot tbe
DCO of spring , coming with a suddcn-
tliat surprised the trees In their bar
renness and outsped the robins , was an
over-strong temptation to.spcnd tbo morning
out-of-dcois.
In the afternoon the constant showeru
kept tbe more cautious within Uielr doors.
Brief promises of fair weather were broken
nt Intervals by ralnv which fell alike on
Spring crops and Easter headwear. During
many of these periods of promise less fear
ful citizens accompanied their families to
the bankfJ-of thelagooa and were overtaken
by the heavy ehowera that began at , 4 o'clock.
Several hundred took refuge. In the largo
buildings and , \Uth "the exception of thooe
who preferred 4 daeli for the car lines , were
heli prisoners for an hour.
Whether wet'or. dry , the people were of
one miad ! In 'their admiration and wonder.
To these who had not been able to look
tat < the matter for several weeks the. com
pleteness and grandeur of the effect oeemcd
to less than magical. Even the slghtsear
accustomed to the progress of the work noted
a rapidity of growth.that"enabled blm to
forecast a complete preparation on the openIng -
Ing day. -

Beck * to Hemove Ohje ( ltm 4
vAccptnmp of the1 Doct lB v
Ror. John ycQir d of the Flni Methodist
Church yesterday morning preached to his
congregation upon the "Resurrection of the
Body. " Ilia sermon was devoted Hot BO
much to tbe proving of the theory of the'
resurrection , as to attempting fo remove
rome of tbo difficulties _ tbi Ita acceptance. Tn
the counio of hs ! rbnrafks 1he m dc ti o'of
many Illustrations from commonplace ex-
and otecn-a'llona of life tb Illus
trate his argument.
Ho first discussed * the scientific theory
that the body Is comprCTd of Innumerable
atoms , wbso constant movemects 'produce
and maintain life. He irre'etcci , however ,
that this theory does not explain 'the exist
ence of a distinct character or splHMn' each
man , which makee every on different In
some rcppeot from each , of hla fcllowmen )
Inasmuch as , according- tbe atomic thto.-y ,
every atom Is exactly alike.
It ttf.cg taken fcr granted' , however , that
this theory of the construction of the human
bsdy Is correct , the atoms were compared
with tubes of paint , Whlcft have no more
distinct Identity thtm the atoms have. Tbe.
speaker stated that yet these tubee of paint
In the hands of a great artist , < ; ould be trans
formed into an Immortal picture , but he
pointed out that ' .his transformation was
not brought eCrout by the tubes but la the
mind of tbe antlat.
The preacher contended ttat In exactly
the same manner the physical Identity of a
man doea rot depend upon the atoms wblch
compose hla toijy bwt upon eome design In
the mind of his Creator.
As a. further Indication that the distinct
Identity of a man Is not dependent upoa the
atoms of his body , another physiological
theory was ' cited. The preacher showed that
eclcmitto'8 are practically agreed that an
enormous number of atoma are continually
passing from the body and are being
rup-
planited by others , until at the end of five
years the body Is entirely reconstructed
If Identity depends
completely upon the
atom at the end of every five yesra every
man would be a now
man a child would no
linger bo the son or daughter of his or her
father , the wife would be a different woman
and could , 01 that grounds , ceparate from
her husband , the debtor would be another
man and would owe nothing to his creditor *
MAN WILL BE THE SAME.
The ? preacher Insisted
that even after res
urrection a man will be still the same man
and preserve bis Identity , Just as tbe rain
bow , wh'lch ' Is dead and burled at the coming
of night , to the eime rainbow the nexi
morning , although every drop of water from
which It Is reflected bas been changed.
Nevertheless there will bo eome mighty
change , but this consists only In the drop
ping of the body , which continually drags
the soul back to the earth and places Urn
itatlona upon 1U The evil * of the body wll
ba expelled and le'ft ' behind , and the man ,
will arise the perfect man that God In
tended , and wtoo was typlfled In the resur
reeled Christ.
"Shall we know each other then ? " Is a
question that U frequently propounded , con
tlnued the preacher , and ho maintained' ' tha
there Is DO doubt about It. It will be much
Hko an experience often hadMn life the
meeting of Ecme cae whom a peroon hen
not seen for years and cannot recollect un
til suddenly a famllfar feature1 or bearing
discloses hla Identity. Inv'tbe\olher life thi
departed .one will preserve all that Is bcu
ID him , and he will be easily recognizable
Love la etronger than , death and will re
member the spirit , whera on earth Identity
depended entirely upon the body.
In concluding , the preacher said that the
absolute proof of the reourrectlon must -be
oMalned from the bible alone. Jn > this It
to etated tbit God had covenanted wi'b the
old prophets. , for a resurrection , and this
meant that they were to be raised as they
were , elnee they knew nothing of the dis
tinction between , mind and spirit such as la
prevalent today. The resurrection Is prom-
teed la God's own character , clnoe He la a
God of the living and not of the dead.
Finally the Immortality of the spirit car-
rlto with It the potentiality of resurre-cilcc. ?

'Rev. John HemplitU Prenclien nt First
( rrel > rternri Church.
The annual relnsfallatinn of deacons and
riders was a feature of the services at the
First Presbyterian church
yesterday
morn-
Ing. Dr. W. F. Mllroy , Howard
, Kennedy and
°
H. A. Doud
were .Installed
. as puling elders ,
and William Lehmer , L. 8. Sknner | and J. .
M. Scott a3 deacons.
The sermon wee delivered by Rev. John
Hemnhlll. I ) . D. pf San Francisco , who
proved to be one of the most , eloquent and
effective/ speaker * who have recently been
heard In Omaha pulpits. His delivery Is sin
gularly pleasing , and his sentences were
mcdcls of literary taste. The -passage In
which tbe psalmist describes the union of
Christ with the church , and In which occur
the words , "Tbe king's daughter Is all glo
rlous within , " furnished the theme of the
discourse. - ,
The speaker declared that-In this passage
tbe psalmist hae grafted tbe tree of llfe on
terreattal stock , and had taught a heavenly
lesson In earthly language. In-.these mod
ern days the church was too apt to forget
the lesson , and to believe that itr glory con an
sisted in tbe wealth and respectability jof
Its members , the
eloquence-of-Its preachers ,
and tbe artistic singing of Its'choirs'It was
well enough for the church to * establish''Its
glory fromwlthout. ' v . fw M
"Let It sit on thrones and oristhei steps
that lead to them. Let It lutBtiwlne-
creed with the most venerable hierarchies
of the world. Let It exercise It * refelstlen
leyerago In the affairs of state. All tbltartd
more may U do provided alwaja that * Us
doctrinal roots Are striking downward while
UiWl fruit laden branches are reaching up-
"
wardr.
In discussing the question 6f w.bat the
glory of the church consisted , Dr. Hemp- of
hill declared that Its sole 'exclusive and
simple ! element was the presence of Christ
Ingl the heart. A man who 'had the hope , of es
glory In him was a glorious man. even
though he was aa poor as Lazarua/ond BUU-
slsted ' on the crumbs ttjat fcJ ) from , .rich' '
men's table * . The church that tried to ex
tract U8 religion from Its own reason was
not glorious , Tbe man who attempted to se the
cure religion out of his own head , was tryIng -
InTl to draw water from an empty well.
There was water In that well once before
sin had come Into the world , and { hen
Adam bad let down his bucket and .found
dry.
ItSO Neither was the church that consisted
solely of cold , dead , motionless orthodoxy It
glorbus church. It iw fllk A-iUnip well
trimmed and filled with oil,1 but'with'the flre
wantlnc. ; The church must have truth to of
keep It straight , and love to keep It on the will
move. It must have Christ In the head .and
the heart , otherwise U ' .would.be. afflicted of
once with dUease o'f the heart and able
softening * of the brain. ( We * bouldtt have

The theme of Diyf Young' * mordlng ser
mon -was the atorjr loit , the wise men who
cume from the est to Jerusalem lo quest of
be new king who was to te born to the
ewi He told of tbe magi who ctme for
iver 1,000 miles In search of tblls now leader ,
men who dldnot lve up to discouragement * .
and wbo were guUed by a star which some'
"Imed waned and disappeared , but did not
rue trite the plans of < hce scions who kept
at their bask till the Savior was found.
This wonderful story % aa ever teen a fa
vorite theme vttth artists , poets aad novel-
sis. Aftny , < plcturcs have ( been .painted of
hb venerable wise men following the guid
ance cf the star , .writers of all ages have lent
.heir Imagination to the embttllthments of
his central Idea. Among our own writers
Longfellow has written a pocoi on this
frame , and Lew Wallace has given us his
immortal Den 'Hur. '
Oul'Jed by * mere glimmer of light In a
murky eky , yet never flagging In the per
formance of a task that must have seemed
almost hopeless to men who were less per *
sUtent , these wise men furnish an example
hat the seeker of truth would do well to
mltaite. If A man can not believe In all the
bible , and the various teachings of theology ,
nit has faith In a supreme all-powerful
Lelng , let him adhere to this simple faith
eud follow It ; In time It will grow Into a
clearer light and he w-111 acquire power to
accept a broader faith.
Some men have no belief In God , yet they
acknowledge the presence within them of
a conscience , the prompting of some super
natural being , and they cannot quite be
lieve that their whole being Is matter , a
mere tlhng that extsta for only a mtlc time.
This feeling of uncertainty Is a gltatner of
light that ha come to their souls , and If en
couraged U will grow Into a faith that wlU
terminate In an eternal hccne In heaven.
Christian faith can not come to one In ah
Instant ; it la a growth and may toe devel
oped from the smallest beginnings.

Sta(6 ( Superintendent of Schools Jackson
las requested the public schools ot Ne-
iraska to celebrate Bird day next Friday In
onnectlon nylth tho. Arbor day celebration.
To those wbo are familiar" with the ornltho-
oglcal resources of their slate this offers a
wide field , for Interesting research and In-
traction. For Nebraska Is distinctively the
Ird center , pt the United States. It con-
alna more species than any other stale In
bo union , and ornithologists * who have
tudted Ita feathered possessions have claarl-
fled 417 distinct species that may bo seen
iwlthln Its boundaries. Of there 225 species
reed here and , the remainder are migrants
rhcf.drop In on us at certain seasons and
then pass on to their breeding grounds.
The natural features of Nebraska are
argely responsible for this remarkable varl-
; ty of feathered population. It Includes a
diversity of country that offers attractions
or hundreds ot songsters. For Instance , the
mocking bird and the cardinal groaabcak ,
Which are distinctively southern birds , fre
quently appear In the Multicast corner of
the state , and In the west we have a large
number of what are usually regarded as
mountain blrdw , but which come down from
the foothills at Intervals to tbe kingdom
of Qulvera.
Outside of a few students whoso interest
n natural history baa led them to make a
atudy of the ornithology of this section prob
ably not one person In a , hundred Is a ware
of the great variety ot species tbat abound
even within the limits of Omaha.
WITH US ALWAYS.
The bulk ot tbe people notice the robins
when they come with the springtime. They
know a bluebird or a crow when they see
one , but they would undoubtedly he
astounded to learn that It they would keep
their eyea open as they traverse the streets
and wooded sections of the city they could
count ' over 100 species In the course ot the
season. The.-o IB a stretch of wooded terri
tory In the western part of the city tbat ex
tends with some Interruptions from Popple-
toile avenue to Farnam street. This 'Is the
local < paradise
of the songcters and on any
summer evening the naturalist who Is willing
teat spend an hour under the trees may couni
at least twenty-five species. Double that
number may be encountered In a day's walk
In tbo vicinity ot Omaha , and If you have a
yard with ever so little ot foliage In It you
may sit on your front piazza any day ant
recognize from thirty to forty varieties. Even
In midwinter the ornithologist Is able to
recognize a number of his feathered friends
and not Infrequently eight or ten species may
bo discovered In a walk across Hanecom
park. When the spring sunifolne begins to
draw the sap upwards and the budding trees
and sprouting grass blades welcome back
the \vandorers the birds flock In by thou
lands. The bluebird Is one of the first to
make bis appearance ; then come the meadow
lark , robin , flicker and numerous members
of the woodpeker family. The sparrow fam
ily Is also largely represented In the early
migrations , and the ruby and golden-crownec
kinglets follow closely after. By this tlmo
the foliage la In Its 11..it bloom and then tbo
trees are fairly resonant of bird voices.
Of ( he'songsters that euay be heard In
Omaha the wood thcush undoubtedly
con
tributes Jhe svireeteot .melody. He Is In cvl
dence In the parks and occanlraally In the
suburbs.Any little patch of woods Is likely
to contain a pair or two and their flutellko
noteq may be heard until the summer twlllgh
Cias almrat deepened Into darkness. The
rose-breasted grossbeak Is also among the
prlma donnas of the feathered choir , and tbe
brown thrush cc thraaher Is notable by reason
of hla extensive repertory. The thrasher Is
Uie mimic of the wooda. His vibrant throal
reproduces the melodies ot a dozen dlfferen' '
species. One minutes he repeats the cal
of the cat bird , then be breaks out In the
warbling of tbo oriole , and on tbe ordinary
listener tbe soloist produces tbe effect of i
full choir.
BEAUTIES OF THE BOWERS ,
The local bird colony alao Includes a num
her of species that are noted' for tbe variety
and beauty of their plumage. Among these
the scarlet tanager Is conspicuous. His body
la a brilliant red and hid wings and tal
gleam , In aa irrldcacent black that lo In
striking contrast. The rose-breasted
beak la the meat gaudily attired ot the gross early
arrivals. He Is black and white , with a.
datb of rose color under his beak and wings
Tbo oriole In hla gorgeous raiment of orange
and black 1 * likewise notable , and after him
cornea a long succession of species whose
fcatbers collectively reflect all the colon *
ot the rainbow.
While many of tbene species are mainly t-
bem found la tbe parks and suburbs , there are -
many others who frequent the bualoeov dh
trial and appear In countlera numbers abou
tbe streets/and the tall buildings. Among
these tbo robins , the blue bird and tbe
flicker are most common , while ( be purple
martins are especially numerous around the
large buildings. These are the eapcclal favor
lies of tbe typewriter girls , for they ccrm
and nest under tbe windows of the office
buildings and consent to be- fed and made
frlenda of , and tbelr feminine admirers even
contend that the came Identical birds come
back to them year after year.
So.there Is no reason why Bird day la th.
cboos ! should be a merely formal otttervadce
The- bird life of Omaha might be made tb
subject of' ' no cad of Interesting Instruction
and the. ettidy once begun becomes a ms
fa ceatlng ! p itlme.

For nearly seven years we have been Belling the sam
white shirts from the same maker , and during all of
that time we have never heard anybody say that they
could find any bettor made or better wearing shirty
and we have never had anybody tell us that they could
buy aa good shirts anywhere for the same price. Our
best white shirts , laundered , are now only a dollar
they used to be a dollar ten cents. Even at the old
price they were 40 cents cheaper than the same quality
is ever sold for elsewhere. The regular dollar shirt of
commerce is only 75 cents at The Nebraska , and the reg
ular 75 cent shirt is only 5b cents. These prices are for
, laundered shirts. If you prefer them unlaundered the
prices are 70 cents , 50 cents and 85 cents. Say I Don't
you know it's a pretty good sort of a store where you
can go in of a Monday morning or a Tuesday morning
or any week day morning and buy a good unlaundered
shirt for 35 cents , and where your friends can get the
same shirt for the same price any time they ask for it
without waiting for any Bankrupt sale or Mark Down
sale or Transmississippi sale or any other Humbug sale.
Our 85-cent unlaundered
white shirts
are as staple as
wheat , and stapler , because they ain't affected by war
or panics , and more than that they ain't affected by
soap and water like some that sell for 47 cents in sales.
