member of the North Nebraska conference
for the Inst twelve years. Whllo he goes
to Albuquerque In the middle of June , where
he will have charge of the biggest church
there , Dr. Welsh is not expected In this '
city until the early part of July. |
Presiding Kldcr J. B. Maxflcld preached
the sermon at the morning services yester-
day. Ills remarks were Intended to perj '
( made his hearers to hold closer relation- |
ehlp to God in their every day life. He ,1 ,
deprecated thu attitude of the man who
prayed to God long and lengthily , nnd then
ROCS out and tries to evade his honest obli
gations. Man should practice as well ns
preach , Bald the elder , ho should pay as
well as pray. Words are cheap.
Dr. Maxflcld said that It Is possible for
every mortal to become a second Christ by
following out In spirit and action the teach
ings of Jesus. This can be easily accom
plished by weaving In the web and woof of
everyday life the precepts laid down by
the Almighty. Every man and woman has
latent In himself and herself possibilities of
greatness In this respect , which can bo de
veloped by seizing the proferrcd opportun
ities and cultivating the right Influences.
A man Is known by the company he keeps.
If he asoclatca with the Savlous ho can
become llko him.
In the course of his sermon Dr. Maxflcld j
particularly dwelt upon the curse of rum.
Ho declared that In all ages It worked for
the ruin of men nnd women. In fighting
the liquor traffic , and In not contenanclng
any Indulgence In the habit , Christian men
nnd women are able to follow at least ono
of the teachings of Christ.

IIi-v. J. O. Staple * PlnilN a Topic In
Dewey'w Victory.
Rev. J. 0. Staples spoke at the rooms of
the Young Men's Christian association yes
terday afternoon on "Conquering Manila. "
He parallelled the recent naval victory with
moral crises In men's lives , and showed that
strength to overcome was due to the trainIng -
Ing and discipline which bad been acqulied
In preparation for the struggle.
Men should make their lives pure , clean
nnd earnest , ho said , so that In time of need ,
when the struggle domamle'd all their
strength , their past would arise and fight
with them. "Those men who dared enter
Manila harbor over unknown perils , as even
Nelson did not do , " said Mr. Staples , "had
behind them a past ot study , discipline nnd
forethought through months and years.
Someone linn said that our todays arc mak
ing yesterdays , but it Is moro true that to
day Is making tomorrow , for the Inspiration
of the future is brighter with promise than
the remembrance of the past.
"In preparation for our Manilas we should
know ourselves , control ourselves , nnd train
ourselves that the resources gathered in the
past may be our tower of strength in the
present. Richard III felt the burden of his
past on the night before Bosworth Field ,
when the memory of wrongs done haunted
him with a foreboding that they would
weigh down his arm on tbo morrow. The
past as a factor In the present was also In
dicated In the story ot the Roman custom
ot leaving a gap In the line whcro Ajax had
formerly fought , and It was said that unwary
foes were hurled back In defeat by bis un-
scn Influence when they stormed the line
nt that point.
"So day by day wo arc bluldlng another. ,
eclf that will prove our strength or weak
ness at time of need. The past ot Dewey's
opponents was ono ot blood and oppression ,
nnd It proved their downfall. The Ignorance
which admitted nothing beyond the Pillars
of Hercules historically could not meet
the sclcnco of modern warfare. Napoleon
said that God was on the side ot the strong
batteries , but It was not strength of batter
ies that availed In this case , but the intel
lects behind them. So the possibility for
such victories only lies In the fighter's past ,
ho must bo earnest , clean and untiring In
his preparation. "
I'UESM.Vr VALUE OF JOII'S EXAMPLK.
.Wonderfnl . Faith of Ancient Patriarch
and KM Modern Application.
The theme of Dr. Wilson's sermon last
night at the Hanscom Park Methodist
'church was , "In all this Job Sinned not
Nor Charged God Foolishly. " Dr. Wilson
reviewed the life of Job and pointed to him
'us a man whom all persons would do well
to Imitate. Job was a man of wealth and
Influence and bad everything ono could de-
elre. He believed In God and In bis pros
perity was pointed to by non-bellovcrs ns
n man who was supremely happy and because -
cause ot his excellent station In life rould
easily believe In God , But reverses came
to Job and ho was sorely tried and was
stricken with disease. Through all ho
blessed God and revered him , not blaming
Iieaven with his misfortunes.
Dr. Wilson discussed the tendency among
people of today to charge all their misfor
tunes to Providence nnd to lay their short
comings to some supreme power. According
'to sonic beliefs a man's life U completely
outlined by God nnd It Is planned that be
'shall do certain things , meet his death In
ft certain way and not bo able to resist the.
Inevitable fate which awaits him. If such
Vero the case man's reason nnd Judgment
'are of no consequence and play no Important
Tart In his career. Dr. Wilson dlscr-dlled
such a belief and urged that man U free
to outline the part he shall play In the
jworld , and that God will help and assist
those who help themselves. In Dr. Wilson's
opinion men arc not tbo victims ot circum
stance but rather the master of clrcum-
Btnnce.
"Men are responsible for what they are
knd for wb&t they believe and what they
th'nk , " M.Id Dr. Wilson. "The men who sit
quietly and allow any and all Influences
to toes them about are the men nho think
God mistreats them and condemns them to
failure. Men who exercise Judgment and
reason and pursue some definite purpose In.
life are the men who succeed and have no
complaint to mnke Against Providence. Tlio
guiding motto for every man should be that
man makes his career with God'i artist
nncc. "

Her. William Klurnlil Preachen nt
Fir lit Prcflhyterlnn Chnrch.
The pulpit of the First Presbyterian
church won supplied yesterday morning by
Rev. William Ktncatd of Minneapolis. The
subject for his discourse was Paul's exhorta
tion to Corinthians , "All things arc yours. "
These words were addressed to the church at
Corinth at a time when It was In the throes
of a factional struggle. Romans , Greeks ,
Jews and men from all parts of Asia made
up the church and each faction accepted the
teachings i of God ns promulgated by some
special leader and through admiration for
the i leader lost sight of the fountain-head ot
all Christianity. Each sect uttered Its Judg
ment i with vehemence and discard prevailed.
To this turbulent church Paul said , "Let
no i man glory In men , for nil things arc
yours ; and yo are Christ's and Christ's are
God's. < " Ho endeavored to have all the fol
lowers | of Jesus forget earthly teachers and
rely i on Christ alone. .
It Is so today , raid Rev. Mr. Klncald. And
when will men come to learn from all teach
ers , of God who bring a message and still not
bend ] the knee to anyone excepting God ?
Wo should thank God that Ho has sent
earthly , messengers who reveal to us new
truths { and we should remember that any
man ] who brings a divine message docs not
belong | to any one sect. Thomas a Kcmpls ,
Luther j , Dean Stanley nnd Phillips Brooks
were not the property of any one denomina
tion ; they belonged to all Christianity.
Truth belongs to all mankind and the man
who discovers a new truth and does not
proclaim It to the world Is false to his di
vine heritage.
"Tho world Is yours , " said the speaker.
"Make the most of It and live up to Its op
portunities. It Is a world which Is' develop
ing continually and Is slowly approaching
perfected civilization. We are on the way
to a real manhood which will be bravo and
not brutal , n manhood which will rise above
crime and leave It as a shadow of the past.
All the 'voalth of time and eternity are
yours , but remember in this wealth of possi
bilities that you are not your own and what
n price was paid for you. You are In this
world to uplift humanity and it Is your
duty to come to a full realization ot truth
and to bring all Us blessings to bear upon
humanity. ' "

Itcv. Alexander ( illchrlMt PrcachcH
oil I'OIMT of the Clirlnt Love.
"The Christ Love" was the theme of
Rev. Alexander Gllchrlst at tbo United
Presbyterian church yesterday morning.
Ho said In part : :
"If there Is any virtue In the Christian
religion It lies in the doctrine and practice
ot the theory that love , self-sacrificing love ,
redeems the world. This Is the Christ love ,
and wo are told that this love passeth our
understanding , la beyond us , and not within
our understanding.
"It is not within our understanding to
grasp the final limitations of the divine love.
An understanding can bo attained of the
birth of parental love , for the love-light
which llumlnes the father's or mother's eye
when the first glance at new life Is granted
them , tells the story of the first life of their
love. Friendship has Its first marks and or
dinarily can bo traced ; but the love of Christ
was born Irrespective of conditions nnd before -
fore time set his seal. Nothlng'had so en
listed the attention , acordlng to the dtvlnu
records , of the heavenly Intelligence , ns the
fact that Jesus Christ was to manifest In
the corporeal body , his marvellous love for
the world. The sons of God shouted for Joy.
"The problem of a saviour sent to redeem
the pure nnd righteous was easy of accept
ance ; but n Chrjst coma to uphold a sinful
and sin-cursed world made the mighty hosts
of heaven burst forth In the wondering
music of the heavenly spheres.
"In the warring , Jarring , clashing , tu
multuous nnd tempestuous discord of life
today there is but one redemption , one sin
gle principle which can bring the 'peace
that passoth all understanding' to the world.
It Is the true heart of Jesus Christ. The
doctrine of the Prince of Peace. The love
of Him who came to still the troubled
waters , to preach that the love of man for
man will redeem the world. "
Dili * of Fare In FaNhlonable Ren-
tnuranli
The question has been mooted over nnd
over again whether the engrafting of French
and German dishes upon the bills of faro of
the bettor class of American restaurants U or
Is not an Improvement. Many pretend that
before their Introduction our cooking was
coarse , barbaric. This Is an open question ,
cut no bill of faro presents attractions to the
dyspeptic , but they , like the bilious , ma
larious and persons with weak kidneys , can
be cured by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
HANDLING TROOPS WESTWARD
Trnnnoontlnentnl Linen Getting
Iler.dy for n Reported Expedition
to the I'hlllpuluex.
The prospect of an army expedition from
San Francisco to the Philippine Ulands Is
the direct cause of much activity In trans
continental railway circles. The movement
of volunteer troops from western states to
the coast has given the passenger depart
ment of a number of the lines , notably tbo
Union Pacific , all the business they could
conveniently handle.
Following the troops there Is an Immense
movement of freight composed chiefly of
equipment for the soldiers who arc to go
to Manila. Several train loads of such sup
plies have passed through Omaha within
the last few days over tbo Union Pacific.
Shoes , clothing , powder and guns hove
formed the bulk of the supplies. All have
been put through as express freight , nnd
hurried out to the coast nt the rate of thir
ty-five to forty miles an hour. Two freight
trains that went out of hero last evening
were well loaded with equipment for the
soldiers.
HchulldliiK Union Puelllc Itoadhod.
General Manager Edward Dickinson of the
Union Pacific has returned from a trip of
Inspection over the lines of the Nebraska
division , nnd pronounces them to bo In
splendid condition. The work of rebuilding
the roadbed with Sherman gravel near
Grand Island Is proceeding well. A largo
amount of money Is being put In this work ,
and. by fall the Union Pacific expects to
have on Its Nebraska * division ono of the
best stretches of railroad track In the
country. The surveyors' camp will this
week be moved from Alma to Wood River.
Cnve Du-ellerM Arrested.
Tom Kvans , Tom Ryan and others , In all
ten men , were arrested last night for going
to housekeeping In a cave near the old Sul
phur springy on the Missouri Pacific tracks.
Complaint had been made by the company
that the cave dwellers had been tampering
with freight cars and they were accordingly
run In as vagrants. Care had been taken in
preparing the cave for a habitation and It
made nulte a commodious dwelling.

PRICES OF WHEAT AND FLOUR
Both Commodities Are Steadily Mounting tLo
Ladder of Value.
DEALERS PONDER ON ULTIMATE OUTCOME
Local Jobber * In Floor Believe the
Limit of the nine linn Not Yet
Hern Attained and Olre
Their Itcimoin.
Wheat has gone up since July last
from 64 cents a bushel to | 1.25
a bushel. It leaped 1C cents a bushel Sat
unlay. Flour sold for $2.30 a hundrdd first
patent April 1 and Is now $3.60 per hun
dred wholesale and $3,75 to $4 retail.
Where Is It going to stop ? is a question
dealers are asking. The Indications for the
wheat crop In America this year points to
an enormous Increase , the calculation ot the
best authorities now reaching 650,000,000
bushels. But advices from thu thrco other
great wheat-growing countries Argentine ,
India and Russia Indicate a probable shortage -
ago In each.
When war was first declared all steamship
companies began to put up the rates on
shipments from American ports and 'to cur-
tall the amount of freight they would book
for shipment. A largo number of vessels
were withdrawn , and the result was a stiff
advance In rates , some of which were In
creased 100 per cent. From around 10 cents
a bushel before war was declared the rates
were rapidly advanced to 18 cents within n
short tlmo after the declaration was for
mally made , nnd finally they went up to
the almost unheard-of figure of 20 cents a
bushel.
This was caused by the fear that vessels
might be seized by Spanish men-of-war ,
disabled by stray shots or wrecked through
the failure of lighthouse signals or explo
sions of submarine mines , which were placed
In all of the harbors as rapidly as the gov
ernment could push forward the work.
Chanted to ClilcriKo.
Manipulation In Chicago nnd the excessive
ocean rates caused a general advance In the
markets on this side , nnd then came the
removal of the French duty of 45 cents per
bushel on wheat. This had a bullish effect
on the American markets , and there was nn
Immediate movement on this side to equalize
the price with what It had been In Franco
when the government was receiving 45 cents
n bushel on every bushel of wheat Imported.
While this movement was well under way
the Spanish , Italian nnd German duties
were removed on account of bread riots In
those countries , nnd the market took an
other boom that sent May wheat to $1.SO
In New York. Now that the foreigners have
learned to their cost that the removal of the
Import duty on American grain does not
result In cheaper bread for their people , but
rather tends to put the additional funds In
the pockets of Yankee speculators , they are
said to hove decided to restore the duty.
Local dealers anticipate a continuation of
present high prices "Just so long as Eng
land and France keep buying , " said n rep
resentative of S. T. Oilman & Co. , "prices
will be maintained. They have been high ,
It Is true , but California and the coast
states have a general failure and If the
war keeps up prices are bound to hold up.
Things are unsettled and men must cat If
nothing else happens , so I look for a main
tenance of present conditions. "
John M. VIel & Co. thought the oncoming
crop might have some effect on prices , buc
held that they would rule high for at least
a month more. The Omaha Milling com
pany and the Mystic Milling company also
tended to the same belief. They say the
mills have not enough wheat on hand to
supply their trade ; that the whole country
Is short and , taking manipulation and Letter
Into account the fact remains- that present
exigencies are apparently unmet by future -
turo crops.

.AMUSEMENTS.
"Camllle" was presented to two very
largo audiences at the Crclghton yesterday ,
afternoon and evening , and will bo the bill
at that house throughout the week. The
production which was an elaborate and
costly one , marked as well the first ap-
pcaranco of Miss Jennie Kennark with the
company as leading woman. The full
strength of the organization Is employed ,
and the performance Is , In general , an ex
ceedingly good one ; Judged on Its own mer
its. Miss Berkley's conception of Madame
Prudence Is not less correct and satisfying
for being In some respects a departure from
tradition. She looks like May Robsou In
"The Conquerors , " and plays the part with
all her accustomed skill and nicety of touch.
Her dance with Gaston , which ends the first
act , Is particularly fetching. Mr. Smith is
the Armand , and shows himself a dignified
lover and a manly upholder of a lover's pre
rogatives. Mr. Green , as Varvllle , adda
another carefully considered Impersonation
to those which ho has already presented , and
quite confirms the good opinions heretofore
formed of him. Mr. Enos , who is always
the artist , however small the part ho enacts ,
is old Duval ; and other .members ot the
company are the servants and the ladles and
gentlemen who go In and out ot doors.
Miss Kennark's reception was a cordial
one , nnd the Impression she made , was decid
edly favorable. She was known to be an
actress ot unusual ability , and she Is un
doubtedly making good the announcements
which have heralded her.

"I have never s n Omaha look BO beau
ttful before , and P e been on street car
through the beat p rM ot tbo city for over
ten years , I used ( to could look over from
the Tenth street Mil'to Hanscom park and
see nothing but hvaoM , no trees or shrub
bery In sight. Butt I can't do It now ; It's
all green with trtcs , The town certainly
looks fine. " This to the way an old street
car conductor on 'the ' Farnnm street line
talked to a Dee reported yesterday. From
exclamations dropped by the thousands of
people who were out yesterday It Is plain
that they thought along the same lines aa
our street car fiend.
Omaha tried on Its new spring garb , to
get used to It before the opening ot the
exposition , yesterday : It fitted It well and
was favorably commented on by a great con
course of people who Inspected It. Itvna
an Ideal spring day. With the possible ex
ception of Easter Sunday there has been
no such delightful Sunday hereabouts this
year. There was a breeze and some dark
clouds In the morning that threatened rain ,
but the weather man told these to "brush
by" ns soon as he got onto their presence ,
and the remainder of the day was beauti
fully clear.
The rare day was very numerously taken
advantage of by several thousand Omahans
and hundreds of strangers within the city's
gates. The morning saw the start of many
bicycle parties , and many morning drives
were Indulged In. The churches were well
attended , and the noon hour saw quite n
dress parardo In the vicinity of the churches
where the fashionable attend divine worship.
There was a greater display of spring finery
In dress goods and In headgear than there
was on Easter Sunday , and the women's
eyes Just kept dancing as they watched the
exhibition of the handiwork of the modiste
and of the milliner.
But If the morning and noon hours
brought the folks out of doors , what must be
said of the afternoon ? It was really a pass
ing show , and the caste was greatly aug
mented. The procession was headed toward
the exposition grounds , and most of It
reached there , though some may have falleil
by the wayside. All the streets leading to
the common Mecca were well filled with
pedestrians , bicyclists , equestrians and
drivers. The boulevard was packed from
2 until nearly 6 o'clock with all kinds of
turnouts. There were hundreds of handsome
equipages , many of them brand new In honor
of the approaching gala season. The rich
rode In chaises to their heart's content , and
the rest found other means of reaching the
grounds. All the street car lines leading to
the exposition did a very profitable business ,
and gave good service. Within the grounds
carriages and bicycles monopolized the
driveways , and ten times as many people
walked through as rode. There was but ono
sentiment cxprcsssed and that was admira
tion for the work already done. All classes
were represented , .and there were enough
prominent church and Bunday school people
on the grounds during the afternoon to net
tle the Sunday opening question by them
selves.

SOUH OMAHA NEWS. !
Secretary Talbot of the Board of Edifca-
tlon has prepared a statement showing the
expenses of the board from July 4 , 1897 ,
to May 20 , 1898. During this lime the board
has expended for all purposes the sum of
J57.HC.9C , leaving a bnlanco In the treas
ury of $5,609.92. This balance does not In
clude any ot the saloon license money paid
In this year , and It Is the Intention to leave
this fund untouched In order that the out
going board may have a fund of considera
ble proportions to turn over to the new
board. In the statement of the secretary
every expenditure Is Itemized and every dollar
lar Is accounted for. This ls n remarkable
showing for the reason that heretofore the
fiscal year of the board commenced with an
overlap which had to bo paid out ot the
saloon license money ,
The time for taking the annual school
census Is drawing near and the Board ol
Education has named enumerators as fol
lows : First ward , Philip Kern ; Second
ward , Joseph Maly ; Third ward , S. Rlbow ;

erected In the following order : Highland
school , Lincoln school , Brown Park school
In case there Is any money left after making
the needed Improvements to these building !
a three-room school will bo erected on the
site purchased from John J. Ryan , nt Thir
ty-ninth nnd X streets.
The Smith heating nnd ventilating system
will be used In the addition to the Lincoln
school. Members of the board assert that
this system has saved a great deal of money
at the Lincoln school , nnd the plan of plac
ing this system In use In all new buildings
Is favored. Members of the finance commit
tee of the board figure that all of the money
to be raised by levy will have to be used
In enlarging the present school buildings ,
and the Intention is to hold the saloon li
cense money to pay teachers' and Janitors'
salaries. With n valuation of 12,000,000 It
Is expected that the school levy will amount
to about 134,000 , and this will not be any
too much to pay for the Improvements and
additions contemplated.
Improving the I.IKhtlnK Plant.
Superintendent E. S. Dlmmock of the elec
tric light company stated yesterday that his
plant would shortly bo Improved by the ad
dition of two Hamilton-Corliss engines of
the latest Improved pattern. These engines
have been ordered nnd the drawings arrived
yesterday. These now engines will take the
place of those now In use at the power sta
tion nnd will cost , when set , between JlO-,000
and $11,000. With the addition of these en
gines the capacity of the plant will be more
than doubled and It Is claimed that the
service will be greatly Improved. The cyl
inder on one of the engines has a diameter
of eighteen Inches and a stroke of forty-two
Inches , whllo the diameter on the cylinder
of the other is sixteen inches with a piston
stroke of .thirty-six Inches. The elghteen-
Inch cylinder engine will moke eighty-five
revolutions per minute and the smaller one
eighty. With a steam pressure of 120
pounds , BOO horse power can be developed.
Each of the engines will bo belted to n
counter shaft independent of the other so
that they in be worked singly or together.
The counter shaft will bo five inches In
diameter of the best hammered iron nnd
equipped with nil the latest appliances for
oiling so that It will not bo necessary to
oil oftencr than once a year. The dynamos
will be driven from the counter-shaft , which
Is to bo equipped with Hill's patent clutch
pulleys. It Is asserted that when completed
this plant will bo the best equipped In the
state. According to an agreement with the
makers.the engines are to be delivered here
In six weeks.
Woman TellM a StriuiKe Story.
A woman giving the name of Mrs. C. H.
Clauson appealed to Mayor Ensor for aid
Saturday afternoon and told a long story of
being robbed by a strange woman. Mr * .
Clauson asserted that she was In Denver
looking for work when she was approached
by a well dressed woman who gave the
name of Jessie Moore. The result of a short
talk was that Mrs. Clauson agreed to come
to Omaha with the Moore woman upon the
promise of being given steady employment.
After arriving here Mrs. Clauson asserts
that her companion took all of her outside
clothing to bo cleaned and did not return
with it. She claimed to bo destitute and
urged the mayor to give her money enough
to buy a suitable dress.
The story struck the mayor as being fishy
from the fact that Mrs. Clauson could not
give but a vague description of Mrs. Moore
nnd did not know where they stopped after
arlving here. Mayor Ensor gave the woman
a little money nnd directed her to the chief
of police.

ported yesterday noon that Buhl was doing

thought that .ho will recover.

ideal suit for spring and summer as it is possible
to make. When you're tired of plaids , checks ,
stripes and mixtures no cloth will give you as
much satisfaction nor bo exceeded for comfort ,
good appearance and serviceability an a serge.
But there are serges and serges serges so thin
that you can see to read through them serges
so cottony that they get purple from exposure
serges so poorly woven that they pull apart at
the least strain. The suits we are offering today
are made of pure worsted serge , genuine indigo
blue dye , lined with good Italian lining and well " "
tailored. We have them in four-button sacks
round and straight cut the price is six fifty.
You can have no clothes in better taste nor any
which will give you better service. We consider
this suit one of the best values we ever offered.
