PRESENTATION AT CLOSE OF SERVICES Another Unlc Added to the Chain that Hindu thi * Krlriiilnhlp Hilnt- Hc\\rc-n Old Friend * Ahont to hopnrnte. Tnmplo Israel was filled last evening with the friends of Itabbl Leo Franklin , who will s ver hlw connection with the congregation In two weeks to leivo for his new charge In Detroit , Mich. Working secretl } the mem bers of the congregation had prepared a eurprlso for their pastor in the form of n magnificent solid silver tea service , which was presented after the benediction had been pronounced. After a beautiful opening service Rabbi Franklin preached a very strong sermon on the moral law. He referred to the stir ring period nnd tbo eventful march of the Jena when they fled from Egypt. He painted the scene , which Is described allo- gorlcally. At the back was a monument that towered to the skies. OpposHo were 000,000 Boule , A mass of turbulent ilesh. A rumbling rises from the earth , as If some great earthquake were about to occur. It was the thunders of heaven as the decalogue was written upon the tables of stone. In Ills estimation the framing of the Mosaic law upon Slnal "was one of the most potent Incidents to humanity. The morality of the- commandments Is felt today , U Is the basic law of nil governments , the cornerstone of justice and the safeguard of right. Ho wdfl glad that there are no more chosen people , that there Is now no law for master and another for the slave. Ho was glad there U now no law for Jew and an other for the real of mankind ; glad that what Is wrong for the Jew Iswrong for every other man. The speaker believed that those lawi were humanity's best gift , but thp golden rule for all mankind is also < o be obeyed. "They were a revelation , but we need a greater revelation , " ho added. "Tho ortho dox Zangwlll taught that the reform Jews are responsible for the retrogression In humanity. That Which Mnke * Mnn Ilrtter. "Tho reform element believes that the old forms , methods and rules should bear the blame. The cause Is the lack of under standing that all rents on morality. Wo inutU have a religion which men can tnXo Into their lives They must not have a ro- llclon for their business , one for their homo or for their churches. It must bo permeated with that morality which makes men bet ter. " At the close of the services the members of the congregation took their seats ex pectantly. Presently Samuel Katz , presi dent of the congregation , appeared bearing a beautiful silver service , which he presented 'to ' Rabbi Franklin in a few well chosen WomeiH Mothers BEST APPRECIATE CUTICURA SOAP.

Rabbi Franklin could hardly find words In which to respond. He said that slnco he came to Omaha six ) cars ago ho has been overwhelmed with kindness and now- his friends must add another link as he Is about to leave. He needed nothing more to bind him to his old friends , but they seemed to desire to moke the claim stronger. In be- half of his wife and himself , he thanked them with all his heart for the crowning attention they had paid him. The tea service consisted of four pieces , sugar receptacle , plt"her , coffee urn and plate. In the center of the latter the fol lowing was Inscribed "Presented to Mr. and Mrs Leo M Franklin by the members of Congregation Israel , January 6 , 1898 , Omaha , Neb " Next Friday evening Rabbi Franklin will conduct a memorial service for the brave soldiers who lost thnlr lives in the Into wnr.

Kierstead had succeeded in reducing James P Connollj's majority for the county commlsBlonorshlp of the Second district no more than five votes , leaving Connolly still a majority of twenty- three. The count will be completed this morning. Ono feature of the ballots of the Third ward was the largo number of straight tickets voted without a scratch. The re. count of the first four prcclnots did not mnkft any change whatever. But In the Fifth Klerstcad and Connolly gained two votea each. Then Kierstead lost one In the Sixth and Connolly gained one. Connolly lost ono in the Seventh The wlndup of the Ninth ward had given Klorstead a net gain in that ward of six > otts ) , but the loss of one vote more than Connolly In the seven precincts of the Third made it five. There had not been any material change in the standing of tbo two candidates In the Eighth ward. j It had been the Intention to have tlv Rhode-Harrington recount for the assessor- i ship of the Third ward simultaneously with 1 the count for Kierstead and Connolly. Har- | I rlngton's majority was only two votes. The l I pleadings would require the recount of only ' five of the precincts , namely the First , Fourth , Fifth , Sixth and Ninth. Word came from Harrington's attorney , however , stat ing that he was down with the grip and a carbuncle and under the circumstances ths Rhode recount was postponed until Tuesday morning.

"Under the Red Robe. " Edward Rose's dramatization of I Stanley J. Weyman's novel , was presented hero last season by practically the same company that brings It this week , with William Morris at the head. The company Is now carrying Its own scenery and proper ties , that which was used In the Empire theater production of the piece two jears ago. This , together with a ifew needed changed In the caste , adds much to the play. It is a story of honor , love and treachery told In a pleasing manner by Mr. Morris and the clever company with which he has i surrounded himself. Mr. Morris Is one of i those actors who has a personality which I makes ono want to know- the man , and as for his portrayal of the part of "Gil de Berault , " the hero , nothing but words of praise can be offered. The leading feminine part , "Rene de Cochefovet , " Is this jear taken by Frances Gaunt , Instead of Mary Hampton , nnd when It is said that Miss Gaunt In every way fills Miss Hampton's place there is little praise left to bo offered. Her emotional work was particularly well done. Harry Keane as Captain Larollo was good , while Kdvvln B. Tllton , his lieutenant , alto comrs in for praise. The other parts wore In most cases well taken and the play Is worth seeing. It continues this evening and tomorrow , with matinees each after noon. Itrllef Cori > n Cnneert. Under the auspices of U.

A hair will bo given by the South Omaha Hospital association shortly for the pur pose of raising funds to keep the doors of ' the ( institution open. An electrical ball Is under consideration and if the plans pro posed are adopted the ball will bo one of thu nneat ever herd in the city. The hospital ' needs money and the members of the asso ciation tire of being compelled to solicit Bubecrlptlons all of the time. By giving t a ball it Is thought that a sufficient sum will bo raised to carry the hospital through the winter. An effort Is to bo made to secure n regular monthly subscription from each of the packing houses and the stock yards com pany In order to insure to the Institution a regular Income. It Is figured that If < ach ] tucking house and the Htock jnrdb con tributed $20 a month an Income of $120 would bo assured from this source and with the donation from the city which amounts to ? 23 a month the Income to be depended upon j would amount to $145 each month. This , I of course , would be in addition to the volun tary subscriptions from business men and residents who appreciate the work the hos pital association is doing. Several efforts have been made In the past to induce the packing houses to sub scribe ' for amounts to bo paid monthly , but i in this the women have been unsuccessful. | Some packing house managers aMtert that if J the association was Incorporated subscrip I tions ( of the kind desired might be forthcoming - coming ( , but this Is considered an evasion of the , Issue. The women have no money to spend for articles of incorporation and if they had It could , In their opinion , be spent to better advantage by administering to the poor and afflicted. It Is true that the pack- era and stock jards company make occa sional donations to the hospital , but what Is wanted Is n certain amount to be given every month in order that a specified Income may bo counted on. Members of the association expect to sell a large number of tickets to the proposed ball and If they are successful the institu tion can bo kept open. _ Improvement * nt Stork Vnriln. The stock jards company has just com pleted the erection of nn elevated foot bridge which extends 600 feet north from the Kx- change building through the speculators' division. This bridge was constituted for the convenlonco of visitors to the yards , and those who desired to look at the stock in the speculators' pens without going down Into the nllejs. Work will commence at once on another big bridge , which will ex tend from the main road up to scale houses Nos 5 and S , These scale houses are in the northern division on the hill. The erection of this bridge will give people ple visiting the jards an opportunity of watching the operations In the cattle pens and at the scale houses without Interfering with the work going on and with no danger of being injured. It frequentlj happens that visitors enter the illevs and tens and annoy the cattle to such nn extent that only ex- tremcly ngllo persons can escape being InJured - Jured The new bridge will prevent all this and visitors can visit all portions of the yards without any danger Itfiliiotloii lii 3IIIU l.lcM'iiHt- The petition of the milk dealers Is not meeting with any largo amount of favor In official eyes and It Is probable tl at no chance in the license fee will be made at once. Nearly all of the milk peddlers have united In a petition for a reduction of the license fee from $25 to $10 a year. The former sum Is considered too much , nt least that Is the allegation made Major Ensor holds that a reduction of the llcento fee would virtually mean the aban- donment of the uillk Inspection , as the office of milk Inspector is supported by fees.

T. V. Wilson , the Union Pacific ngent in London , England , has just made n trip over the road from the Pacific coast and is on his wny home. "Kverywhero I have been , " he said at the Mlllard , "I have heard all sorts of Inquiries about whether Omaha is to have another exposition 1 am satisfied tint tbo people of the west nro rapidly be ginning to appreciate at its fullest value the purpose an exposition in some good tenter fcervcs In showing up the resources , particularly of the west. The middle west today has the largest proportion of popula tion nnd Omaha Is the center. There Islets lots of land nnd of the most fertile sort and a climate that will glow everything between the Missouri river und the coas.t , nnd all that is needed is development by eastern capital , coupled with western en terprise. I bellevo the contemplated Greater America exposition would find more exhibits from the west than were In your Transmlsslsslppl Exposition. The colonial exhibits ( would be a unique feature , It is true i , but the biggest thing , from a practical business i standpoint , would bo the display of , western opportunities. " "List year was the best ono wo have had In ? ix , " said C. O. Shumway of Lyons , pres ident of the Implement Men's association , which has been mooting In this city. "I do not altogether attribute it to the good crops or to the good prices , for I think ono very Important clement has been the confidence generally restored. People have loosened up their money and somehow the farmer has been enabled to dispose of his crops to advantage and ho In turn , after paying off old debts and clearing off the biggest part of his mortgage , has felt like stocking up with Improved machinery and imple ments. The consequence has been that with us sales have Increased greatly nnd collec tions have been easy. We consider the im plement business aa being n good Index of or Indication of the condition of the fanner , for when ho has money ho will go after mod ern machinery the first thing and when ho hasn't , ho can't bo touched even on a credit proposition , " Pomoiuil A.
