PREACHERS GOING AND PREACHERS COMING Cllr I'OMCH S-omo Vcrr Popular nnil Tnlrntcil .Mlnlitcru , but Their SuccoimorM Are S-nlil to lie tp to ( he Mnmlnril , It hag been a long time since the pulpits of Omaha have experienced such a shaking up as the one now In progress. The situa tion la not peculiar to any particular de nomination , but the changes arc fairly dis tributed. The Congregatlonallsls arc espe cially unfortunate , however , In that tliey lose two pastors who have become endeared to their congregations during several years of earnest service. It Is also noticeable that tbe majority of the churches that are com pelled to change pastors at this time are larcc down town flocks In which the ad vent of a new tlicpherd Is a matter of more general Interest than In the smaller churches of the suburban districts. One of the most popular of the clergymen about to preach a farewell sermon before an Omaha congregation Is Rev. S. Wright But ler of St Mary's Avenue Congregational church , who will speak to his Omaha flock for tlie last time on the second Sunday In July Aildo from the possession of pulpit talent of a high order Dr. Butler's social glftn bavo made him one of the best known pastors In the city. During the half dozen jears that ho has occupied his present pulpit he has been In constant demand at banquets , fraternal reunions and other occasions , where hie happy faculty of saving the right thing In the right place made him an after- dinner speaker of more than ordinary abllllj. It has been well known that for a long time the church has found It difficult to carry the financial burden that It has as sumed. Two years ago Dr. Butler had made all preparations to leave , when such a strong pressure was brought to bear by his congre gallon that he finally consented to remain for a while longer. In view of this fact , while the desire to retain him Is no less gen eral. It has been decided that it would not bo considerate to attempt to Induce him to reconsider his decision a second time Dr. Bullor will leave Omaha about the middle of nctt month- for the east , where he will fcpcnd some lime in visiting old friends anl cnjovlng .1 period of relaxation. He will then accept one of several very flallcrlng proposals that have come to him Another Congregational minister , who leaves under somewhat similar circura- slances. Is Rev. Howard MaeAjeal of Ply mouth church , who goce to accept the pas torate of the Tlrst Congregational church of StLouK Hev Mac \joal has stoid bravely by a society lhat struggled with financial embarrassment and Is very popular with his congregation. Conbequ ntly he goes lo one of Ihe largest churches In St. Louis with the best wishes of every member of the society of which he has been an earnest and highly esteemed pastor. Rev. Alexander Gllchrlst , paslor of the Central United Preabvterlan church Is an other well known Omaha divine who will soon enter a broader field Rev. Gllchrlbt has been offered the position of secretary of the National Home Mission society of the United Presbyterian church and be has prac- lically decided to accept This is strongly against the desire of his congregallon , but he feels that It Is his duty to enter the new- line of work to which he has been called and his resignation will soon be officially con sidered Dr. Gilchrist will go directly to Plttsburg , Pa , where the headquarters of the society are located. In none of the above canes mentioned have arrangements been made In regard to the selection of suc cessors to the dpnartiriEr nastnrs. The Nev MiuiHterH. The new pastors who have comeor are about to come to Omaha take charge of four of the largest congregations of the cltj. Rev. M. W. Cha e , formerly of Oswego , N . Y. , has already entered on his duties as the suc cessor of Rev John McQuold , whose sudden death brought so much genuine sorrow to the First Methodist church , and his pastorate promises to be equally successful. The vacancy In the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church has at length been fifled by the election of Rev Edwin II. Jenks , M. A. , formerly pastor of the Second Pres byterian church of Lcs Angeles , Cal Rev Jenks has made an enviable record as a suc cessful pastor and he will begin his work In Omaha about September 1 Hev Edward Trefz , the new pastor of Kount7e Memorial Lutheran church , has not only been .1 successful pastor , but has achieved a distinct success as a newspaper manager He was at one time managing editor of the St. Joseph Herald. He has al ready given promise of great usefulness In his church work In this city Rabbi Simon , who recently accepted a call to become the spiritual head of Temple Israel , is another new pastor who has suc ceeded in giving evidence of success In his new field. Another distinguished addition to Ihe Omaha clergy will be Rev Arthur L Wil liams , recently elected bishop coadjutor of the Episcopal diocese of Nebraska , and who will soon arrive to make his home in Omaha. RUNAWAYS ON THE VIADUCT Al OKC' ! IlompH Stimuli Illn Ilnuk anil Frighten Two More Tennin. A dangerous runaway occurred jesterday In the vicinity of the Union depot. Tbe team of horses owned by Al Ogle , a hack- man , became frightened A milkman In front of the hack slruck the horses over thu head beveral times to keep them from plunging Into him , and this sent them tearing over the viaduct at breakneck speed , dragging Ogle with thorn He was compelled finally to release his bold and let them go When half way across the viaduct the horsre ran Into an express wagon , whose horse also ran away. The express wagon WHS forced Into another hack team , over turning the noises , Ollicer Cook untangled ( hem , but not until after the back had been drawn over them Ogle's team ran on across the viaduct , bringing up at last on Howard street be tween Tenth and Eleventh , where the hack vvas smashed Into kindling wood , entailing a lora of nearly $1.000 to the on nor. HOW HE BEAT ALL OTHERS OUT W. llnrden , U ho Sent the Tint > e of Deviej'H Victor } , E W Harden , financial editor of the Chicago cage Tribune , Is staying In Omaha for the day on bin way wet , where he gees to /spend a short vacation lu the mountains Mr Harden ! s the newspaper corre spondent who a year ago beat the world with the news of Dewey's great victory In the naval battle of Manila Speaking of bis wonderful achievement , Mr. Harden sajs : "No , it was not entirely a mailer of acci dent that I got my message in ahead of everyone else , although I had never cent a cablegram before In my life.

A A . * .A A. ti A Al i'tl It vvas reported jestcrday thai the Vnlon Pacific Railroad company will on Monday send a rcquwt to the city council for the vacation of certain streets and allevs In the northern portion of the city. The council will , It Is understood , be asked to vacate Commercial streel from C elrcet on the north to J street on the south , and also the Inter secting streets and alleys between C nnd J from the alley east of Commercial to the right of way of Hie Union Pacific. This will mean the closing of C , D , E , V , G , H , I and J strecls from the alley west of Twenty- ninth street to the railroad right of way While the communication him not been filed , yet It Is understood that this will be done sometime Monday In order that the propo sition may bo presented to the city coun cil at Its meeting Monday nlgtit From Ihls acllon It Is Inferred that the Union Pacific managers have changed their minds and will now go ahead with the lajlng of additional tracks between this city and Omaha. Some months ago this railroad company purchased blocks 17 , 29 , 30. 43 and 41 , and It was stated at the time tliat the ground thus secured would be used for trackage purposes. It Is not thought lhat the closing of Ihese slrcels will Inconvenience the cltUens lo any cxlenl , as very few arc Ihoroughfares The bencfils lo be derived by Ihe building of large railroad yards will , It Is asserted , beef of far more Importance than the closing of a half a block of a few unused streets. lion Itoceliitii InercnnliiK. For tlie six months ending Juno 30 the re ceipts of cattle at the stock vards numbered 306,332 bead , bogs 1,144,627 bead and sheep 559,957 head , lolal 2,010,916 head. This Is an Increase of 201.942 hogs , as compared with the flrsl six monlhs of 1S98. The hog re ceipts for June were the best on record , as well as being within 21,000 of tbe record- breaker made last December. Tor the month the average weight of hogs has been right around 250 pounds , or one pound lighter than for May and ten pounds below a vear ngo With the known number of hogs received during the first half of the jear , estimates are now being made on the year's receipts , and It Is figured that the lolal will come close to 2,600,000 head. Sheep receipts for June show an Increase of 10000 head over June a vear ago , but the total for the six months of the jear shows a slight decrease as compared with 1S9S. Tills decrease has no doubt been caused by the heavy losses during the winter and the fact lhat a great many lambs have not yet been marketed. School JHmtrlut Kxiieimefl. According to Ihe estimates made by the membTS of the Board of Educallon Ihe ex pense of maintaining the public schools for the coming year -will be $90,400. These expenditures are divided as follows Teach ers' salaries , $47,000 ; repairs to buildings and grounds , $7,000 , furniture , $1,000 , sup- pllea , $4,000 , janitors , $5,200 ; fuel , $3,000 ; new buildings and sites , $20,000 ; mlscella- mous , $3,200 ; total , $90,400. It Is stated tbut from the amount specified for teachers' salaries should be deducted tbo sum lo be derived from the state apportionment , which will approximate $ S,000. The county commissioners have been re quested to levy on the taxable property In South Omaha for $38,000 , which will mean. judging from the valuallon returned , about 20 mills The board will divide this revenue - nuo as followsTeachers' salaries , J4.000 ; repairs to buildings and grounds , $2,000. furniture , $1,000 ; supplies , $3,800 ; janitors , $3sno , fuel , $2,700 , new buildings and sites. , $18,000 ; miscellaneous , $3,000 , total , $35,000 A Induct MntterH Acnln. Another snag has been struck In the pro posed repairs to the Q street viaduct. As was announced in The Bee of a day or two ago , a meeting -was held between officers of the Union Pacific , the stock vards and the Omaha Slreet Railway companies for the purpose of agreeing upon a proportion of ex pense of the repairs II is understood that the managers of the streel car company positively refuse to pay any portion of the repairs to the viaduct. This company holds that it Is not liable for rep-ilrs , because at the time Its franchise ordinance was grante-1 on Q street the city council agreed that the company should not be compelled to fltand the expense of repairs to the via duct But the Union Pacific and the Union Stock Yards officers hold that this action on the part of the council Is Illegal and the chances are that the matter will go to the courts rount'11 Honrcanlzatloii Denied. Rumors of a reorganization of the city council have been flying about for several da } B , but yesterday the tide turned and It was reported on good authority thai there would be no reorganization. It was fur ther reported that Mayor Ensnr would not recede from the stand he has taken on the Sunday closing of waloons. From orders Is sued to the police jesterday it Is Inferred thai the saloons will be kept closed all of today Just when the drouth will be broken no ono seems able to tell. VIMI.MK Mull Cni-rler * .

The council was about to approve the plans at once , but at the suggestion of Afslstant City Attorney Scott the plans were referred , so thai no ap pearance of unseemly tiaste should preju dice the case of Ihe clly should Ihe mailer ever be carried Inlo Iho courts. The legal right of Ihe council lo approve the plans without referring ihem , however , was noi que lloned The council will bold a special meellng Monday afternoon after Its meeting In gen eral committee , when the plans will be ap- iroved and possibly some further action aken. The formal approval of the plans by Ihe cily is necessary lo the prosecution of tbe , work. The plans are those agreed upon j'olntly by Ihe railroads and lh clly engineer , and will doubtless be approved by he council without delay II Is expected thai the roads will offer no objection to tiem , slne they have already virtually ac cepted them They differ from the original drafts only in providing for A wooden driv ing surface Instead of asphalt , and a consequently { j quently lighter construction.

It called forth considerable - able dlocuMjlon , pto and con One of the moat Ingenious arguments advanced by those opppose < l to tbe measure was that It would be dangerous to organise A high school district , for the reason that , under the provisions of the hlgli school attendance law pawifil bIhe legltlaluro last winter the Omaha Iloerd of Edutatlon , In the Event of the high tchool being overcrowded , might rofubo to receive pupils from this dUtrUl it aware that the district was so well able to cstabliib a high school of Hi own. The law simply states that when anv high school shall be unable to furnish ac commodations to non-residents , without con structing or renting additional buildings , the Board of Educallon may refuse ndmlsslon lo such pupils. Whal Ihe formallon of a t high school district would have to do with the mailer Is beyond Ihe comprehension of ' Ihe wrller However , the argumcnl was most enthusiastically applauded , and evi dently did more lo defeat the measure than all other arguments combined. A motion to construct a cyclone cave was defeated. The school board was Instructed to adopt whatever means were deemed expedient for suppljlng the scUool grounds with water Gunshot wounds and powder burns , cuts , bruises , ppralne , wounds from rusty nails Insecl stings and ivj poisoning quickly healed by De Witt's Witch Haref Salve Positively prevenls blood poisoning.
