Mo.Tho convention will close Friday evening
u\n Interesting program has been arranged
for the entlro occasion. Two sessions were
held Tucday afternoon and evening. Be
ginning today thcro will bo three dally ees-
elons. In addition to the work of the tvtato
convention proper this gathering has to do
with the Baptist Young People's union , the
pastors' conference , the various missionary
EoclctltH nnd other adjuncts of church work.
Attention wns directed Tuesday to the
pastors' conference. The exercises opened
with a devotional meeting In which there
iwan Impromptu participation.
Rev. A. L. Ballard Interpreted II Timothy
ill , 16-17 , and made out of It a vigorous
' seitnon on the utility of the scriptures to
meet the needs of the times.
Sin Pointed Out
"Tho conditions of the world today were
accurately photographed by the apostle
eighteen hundred years ago , " said the
speaker , "aud if Paul were living today in
ono of our largo cities and could bo familiar
with all the sin , the drunkenness , the debauchery -
bauchery and the vices of our times he
could not more accurately describe the social
conditions than ho has done In this chap
ter. "
Then Rev. Ballard went on at great length
to enumerate the various besetting sins of
the metropolitan centers. He estimates the
number of liquor sellers In the country at
COO,000. "And there are millions- liquor
Kurzlers , " ho continued , "and that accounts
for the churches having more women than
men on the membership rolls. Whllo the
women are at church the men are In the
saloons that's the reason they nro not In
church , for they can't be in both places at
once. "
Ho emphasized the belief that it Is the
duty of preachers and church workers gen
erally to approach the saloon keepers per
sonally aivl warn them of the evil of their
vailing. Ho would also have the church approach
preach young men who are just making
their entry Into tbo gambling dens and the
brothels ; ho would have -the gospel preached
to even the seemingly wrecked drunkard and
vagrant of the slums. "These unfortunates
never como to us , so wo ought to go to
them , " ho argued.
Rev. Ballard'a paper was clear cut and
pointed from beginning to end , abounding in
startling arraignment of what he term * gen
eral iniquity. The point ti wmch ho di
rects his argument was that eln ought to be
rebuked ; that preachers ought to preach
Ho admitted , ho said , the Impossibility of
turning all sinners , "but , " he declared , "It
is possible for ministers of the word to stand
as Nathan before David , as John the Baptist
before the multitude , as Jesus Christ before
the Pharisees , and rebuke sin. Some will
repent , not all ; some will be saved , not all ;
but the rebuke should come. ' Preach tbo
. word ! "
The World nml the lllble.
"Tho Two Bibles , Nature and Revelation , "
was the subject of an Interesting paper by
Rev. B. Bedell. "Wo have two volumes of
revelation , or two Bibles , " the speaker said ,
"and it Is with regard to these two books
that I am to talk to you , and 'tho point to be
TO ado Is that they are both from the same
eourco. They both reveal God. I will not
oasert that God made any part of the ma
terial world simply as a revelation or that
itwould have been different had there been
no intelligent beings on earth to study its
wonderful lesson. "
Delving Into his subject , the speaker con
tinued at length to compare the two Bibles.
They 'both ' teach , he said , that sin Is destruc
tive and that righteousness Is profitable to
the well-being of men on earth , "Thero are
come things In 'both ' Bibles , " ho said , "the

Along this line Rev. Bedell epoko for sev
eral mlnutce and It wan the sento ot the
convention , an subsequently expressed In
discussion , that he made the point of hla
argument.
llcv. Thomas Anderson spoke on "Tho
1'astor and the Bible. " Ho took the posi

to defend the Bible , nor to apologize tor It lu

At the night session the church wis
crowded to Its limit. After all of the pows
had been taken , chairs were placed in the
aisles. Thceo were rapidly filled and In a
few minutes there was not even standing
room ,
The opening services were conducted by
Rev. Allen , the Beth-Eden pastor. Then
came a highly Interesting addres by Hev.
II. 0. Sejmour , D. D. , who told of the work
of the Baptist Publication society. He said
many years ago ho bought a bible for $ ! )
because at that time he was unable to purchase -
chase the kind he wanted at a lower figure.
Now , ho declared , ho could buy the same
kind of bible for 90 cents. He related this
as evidence of how the publication societies
throughout the country have cheapened the
price of religious literature. Hev. Seymour's
address was well received and he was fre
quently applauded.
Boston W. Smith of chapel car fame
known to Baptists throughout the Unlteil
States as "Undo Boston , " delivered one of
his illustrated lectures. The brilliant church
lights were extinguished , a large canvas
was stretched , and by the aid of a powcrtu
lantern numerous illustrations were pre
sented. These pictures ehowed how In the
long ago the gospel messengers walked nbou
the country distributing tracts , and how with
the progress of tlmo they were provided
with horses and wagons , nnd how by atll
more modern methods the gospel sory ; Is
spread from hamlet to hamlet brail. . Those
scenes wore Intersper&ed with plainly
printed church music such old hymns as
"Jesus Lover of My Soul" being among the
lot and It seemed that every voice In the
house joined lu the singing. "Uncle Boston'

mercial Club.
At the regular weekly meeting of the ex
ecutive committee of the Commercial club
considerable tlmo was devoted to discussing
the rate war between the Burlington am
the Kansas City , Fort Scott & Memphis rail
roads. As the shippers of this city areup
holding the Burlington railroad In the flgh
to maintain a differential on packing house
products against Kansas City , It was sug
gee ted by some of the committee member
that a public demonstration would bo In or
der similar to the one In Kansas City held
to express the satisfaction of the business
men at the Memphis railroad's course o
action. After a thorough consideration I
was decided such a demonstration would b
Inadvisable , but a resolution was passed ex
pressing approval of the Burlington's sup
port of Omaha shippers.
Resolutions were drawn up expressing
thanks to the people of Hastings for thel
hospitality during the recent excursion o
the Commercial club members to the streo

The city council had the doubtful satis
faction of learning Tuesday afternoon tliat
the contract with the railroads , authorized
In a pending ordinance1 , would not bo entered -
tored Into until the court of last reeort had
declared that they had a right to do so.
The Paxton & . Vlerllng Iron Works , repre
sented by attorney and by members of the
firm , revealed Its .Intention of fighting the
conclusion of mich a contract as long as
there was a court In the land that , would
listen to them.
There wore a number of sharp passages
between City Attorney Connell and the
councllmcn who favor the ordinance on the
ono side and L , I , Abbott , attorney for
Paxton & Vlerllng , and the rest of the
council on the other. The lines were closely
drawn and the members Jiad to tie either
for or against. Attorney Abbott , being In-
vltod by the council to speak , made the final
statement on hie side. Ho declared that his
clients would not agree to be sacrificed
to persuade the roads to do what the law
compelled thorn to do until the last court
had eald that they must. In answer to the
suggestion of the city attorney , to the ef
fect that the firm wait until the council
was about to close the street nnd then go
Into court , ho said that then the courts
would say that they had slept on their rights
and would not grant them any relief. He
touched on the J100 per day penalty which
the supreme court had said that the roads
must pay for delaying the construction of a
viaduct after the city bad legally ordered It
'built ' and chargel City Attorney Connell
with gross neglect of duty In not seeking to
collect It In tbo Eleventh street viaduct
case. If the council Instructed tbo city at
torney to proceed agalnat the roads , Mr
Abbott Raid , they would not resist very
long , because of this penalty which they
would have to pay In the end ,
City Attorney Connell said that the pen
alty 'was ' simply In the nature of a flno for a
misdemeanor ami would bo very hard to
collect , if In fact It could be collected at all.
Mount offered an amendment to the ordi
nance , that the roads be required to com
plete both the Sixteenth and the Twenty-
fourth street viaducts before asking for the
closing of Seventeenth street Before thU
was voted on Durkley offered a substitute ,
that the ordinance be placed on file and the
city attorney be Instructed to proceed
egatnit Oio roads by mandamus to compel
the building of the Sixteenth street viaduct
at once. On roll cull this was defeated by
the following vote- Ayes , Dlngham and
Hurkley. Noes ; Stuht , Lobeck , Mount ,
Only five members were present
Mount's amcndmf-nt was thsn carried.
No vote wns taken on the ordinance Itself ,
that being left to the regular ecuslon ,

night by a party of tlx soldiers. The holdup
occurred at Thirteenth and Plirce tr eU
while Inman wns returning home from a

The oxccutho committee at the exposition
had n protracted sitting Tuesday afternoon
and the members came from the office wearIng -
Ing worried looks. The matter under discus
sion was that of finance and It proved
knotty problem. During the day Mr Uustln
laid nlf thirty-five men who have been em-
plojed as gardeners anil in other capacities
about the grounds , and It wns also decided
that tbo Illumination would bo decreased
somewhat. The lamps In the flower beds
will be cut out , and thcro will be a thinning
out of lights on the buildings Thcro will
also bo a diminution of arc lights on the
Midway
The crowds were attenuated during the
day , nnd were not much Increased In the
c\cnlng. The main attraction was the ex-
plcslon of submarine mines on the Lagoon
Captain Sorcho on the boat Olympla gave a
splendid show. Ten mines were exploded
with terrific force , and the water was shot
on cither side of the boat as high as the top
most pinnacle of the Government building.
The doughty captain was drenched with
water during the show. The sham battle
drew a fair crowd and the concerts by the
Bellstcdt band proved drawing cards as
usual.
Beginning with this e\enlng there will be
a provision for free admission to the fire
works enclosure. Heservel seats will be 10
cents as usual , but standing room will bo
free. Promoter McQarvIe has assurances
that Kansas City day will bo well patronized.

Frank Clark , the burglar , was arraigned
In police court jesterday and pleaded guilty
to the charge of burglary and larceny. As
sistant County Attorney Dunn filed the com
plaint and had a talk with Clark. At the
conclusion of the conference Clark saw that
It would bo useless for him to deny the
charge , and in order to expedite matters he
agreed to plead guilty. Judge Babcoik held
him to the district court , fixing the bonds
at ? 2,000. Herman Erbts , suspected of being
a pal of Clark , will be given a preliminary
hearing Thursday afternoon. Erbls asked
for this delay , stating that ho had. sent for
his father. He still denies that he was with
Clark on the night of the burglary.
Crop.
The Breeders' Gazette , In a recent issue
has this to say of the Nebraska torn crop
"An estimate of Nebraska's corn crop , whlcl
Is now safe from frost , Is 300,000,000 bush
els. It Is hard for the mind to grasp jus
what these figures mean. Counting sixty
bushels of shelled corn to the load , It woulc
take 5,000,000 tennis to haul the crop to
roraket , a caravan that would reach arounc
the world. It will take an army of 80,000
men over two months to husk It If they
husk sixty bushels a day each. If loaded
Into cars of 30,000 pounds capacity It wouli
take 600,000 cars to haul the crop , and make
a train over 4,000 miles long. "

Judgca W. W. Kejsor and Lee Kstelle ,
candidates for election to district 'bench ' ,
wore the principal speakers at a well-at-

lican club Tuesday night. Other repub- i
llcan candidates who addressed the meeting
wore : Louis Burmester , Irvdng G. Barlght ,

and E. C. Hodder , the latter being- one of

board nomination. |
Judge Kejsor discussed the existing politi
cal situation , -viewing It from local , state
and national standpoints. Ho said the na
tional 1'suo la not one of free silver , tariff ,
trusts or auj'thlng of a minor nature , hut
the paramount question Is whether the
government will too sustained by Its people.
He expressed the belief that some great
principle : wan at work In the present
Philippine war. Ho recited the marvelous
success which has followed America In all
1U movements , recalled the signal victory
of Dewey , Unparalleled In the annaU of naval
warfare. But what this eccret force Is It
cannot bo seemno one can tell what it Is ,
but It Indicates that the time ha ? come foi
thn people of the United States to assert
their supremacy , to step out In the world
and take Its place among the foremost
nations , to spread broadcast the elevating
Influences of the Instltutlcna which hive
been prominent In the advancement of this
countrj- . This Is not the time , he asserted ,
to talk of politics. The people are con
fronted by an actual condition. Our flag Is
In jeopardy. It has been fired upon and no
lojal American Is justified In demanding
that such Indignity l > o heaped upon It and
BO unchallenged. When the tlmo conies foi
the settlement of the matter nnd the estab
lishment of the nation's policy , the repub
lican party may bo depended upon to ad
just all difficulties In a perfectly satisfac
tory manner.
The opposition , ho Insisted , In their vain
attempt to strike upon eomi ? point whereby
they mny , be able to storm the solid brivut
worlu of prcspcrltj nnd advancement and
success achieved h > the republican pnrtj
under the leadership cf William MeKlnlcy
have demanded the withdrawal of the
American troops from the Philippines Ho
asked If American lojaltj would countenance
the rcmov'al of Ita troops ns long u the
gun-s of the enemy nro pointed at Its sol
diers nnd the abandonment of Us present
Itosltlon , which would give the nations of
the woild a chanceto point the linger of
scorn nt America and snv that It was un
able to cope with a situation because It was
too bcrloim a one for Ameilca to handle.
Judge Kstello followed with ono of his
characteristic ppceches , ilnglng with pa
triotism and scnsoned with apt Illustration
and anecdote He touched briefly upon the
Philippine question and stated that when HID
present conflict Is brought to nn end that the
question of the disposition of thu Islands will
be settled light hj Wllllnm MeKlnloy nnd
the republican party He recited borne of
the fnlliclis which had been uttered by
Bryan when ho wns making his campaign for
the presidency nnd lj way of comparison
told of the things which President MeKlnlcy
had promised before hla election The prom
ises of the latter have every one been ful
filled and the nation Is rolling on the top
sens of prrspcrlty. This condition is dis
tasteful to the fuslonlst politicians , but they
recognize Jt , nc-vorthelei"5 , nnd In bearchlni ;
blindly about foi something on which to
make a campaign have settled upon the trust
bugaboo , which nil well-informed men
realize Is not a political Issue. Judge Cstcllo
spoke In particular of thi state and county
tickets. "Tho nomination of Judge tteese , ' '
ho said , "was the wisest one that could have
been made by the republican party and the
confidence In his ability nnd integrity hola
by the people of the stnto Insures his elec
tion. There never wns a better ticket se
lected by the republicans of Douglas county
than the ono which they present to the
voters this jear. Everj man upon It Is nn
