These plans arc the outgrowth of the recent visit hero of Ilev. Mdnturff. pastor of the People's church of Spokane , Wash. , who conducted a success ful scries of revival non-Ices In Hcv. Savlilgn'R church last month. Mr. Mcln- turn" has tried them successfully In his own city and Mr. Savldgo bcllovea they will bo the rlRht thing to ndnpt In Omahn. First and foremost Is n new church bulld- IIIK to replace the present structure on 13lKhtc < ; ntli street that has outgrown the work of the church. A year's option haj licen secured on the lot on the northwest corner of Seventeenth nnd ChlcaKo streets on which now stands n substantial residence. The property Is owned by Charles White , formerly of Oniohu , now , of Spokane , Wash. The purchase price Is $13,500 , fi per cent of which binds hio bargain. " This Riim , $ fi"5 , lias alroatly been pledged nnd work Is to be begun HOOII to turn the property Into proper tiso for church purposes. I'liniH for ( In"liurcli. . The plan Is to turn the residence around ep that It shall facu the east and use It for a parsonage. The rest of the lot , that next to Chicago street , will wrvp as a site for the church pdltlco which It Is propeacd to erect. The plans for thu chtirrh an- not yet cpmplete , but they contemplate a thrco-stnry building with an auditorium on the llrst floor , with prayer rooms , class rooms and reading rooms opening from It. The second nnd third stories will bo used for lodgings. They will bo fitted up In modern style , with sanitary plumbing , furnace heat and all other conveniences. The furnishings are to bo of moderate cost , but everything will bo neat and attractive. The Idea Is to provide comfortable lodgings at a nominal cost for young men and women clerks and others who como to Iho city for employment and Icavo homo comforts behind them. The structure will bo largo enough to provide about one hundred rooms of the above de scription. Speaking of the project Rev. Savldge says : "Tho time has como "when It becomes neces sary for the People's church to branch out In the field In which It works. Our accom modations have for oomo tlmo been Insulll- clent to meet the needs of the church nnd a new building Is a necessity. Fortunate ! ; ; Vic visit of Ilev. Mclnturff hero was at Just the right tlmo to set the movement on foot. He has had lariro experience In this line of work nnd his advice will bo valuable to us In our project. His church nnd mine have Joined hands In a literal sense and wo hope before many more yearn elnpso to have a chain of churches stretching from Omaha to the Pacific coast. JlOIH'y I'llI'tllCDIIllllK. "The way the people have taken hold of the building project Is very encouraging. The 5 per cent purchase price for the property - orty on which wo will build the new church has already been pledgcU nnd I have every reason to bellevo that the entire $19,500 will bo forthcomlnnt ( the proper tlme. A loJg- ing house sucli as wo'propcpo to operate Is a necessity In any city. I have already re ceived several applications for rooms In tbo building. Wo propcw to work among the railroad men , of whom there Is a largo num ber who make Omaha their headquarter" . There are also many young inun employed In other lines of business to whom such a homo would bo u Godsend. I have often had young men toll mo that If they con 1,1 only secure a good quiet homo somewhere In the city where they would be removed to a great extent from temptation It would bo much easier for them to live right lives. "Then , too , there Is an army of working girls who need Just such a haven of rest ns wo propose to provide. Hero they will have all the comforts of home and will lif enabled to live at a moderate cost In clean and comfortable quarters. Our Idea Is to furnish all these accommodation * ) at n nom inal price and also to realize n small sum to be used In our general church work. Mr. Mrlnturff says that the first year his lodging liouse was In operation It paid $5,000 and the prli-cs charged were very moderate. I have promises of substantial financial aid In my project nnd I bellevo that when the good people of Omaha are acquainted with my pluiiH they will contribute ) liberally toward the cause.

ROMANCE OF A MARRIAGE l.ovi-r * ' ( luiirrrl SrpiirnU-s Tun Ili-urt-i Which l.nlcr Ar < - lli-iinltril In llllllsNClllllllc IIOMlN , Charles McConnell , n well known Omaha boy , now In business at Lincoln , surprised his relatives nnd friends this week by bring ing homo n bride. Ho was married In Flor ida to MHS | Nellie Gray , who formerly lived In this city with his sister. Mrs. E. L , Hood , whoso residence Is In the fashionable quar ter on the west side. Mlf.s Gray had gone to Tampa , Via. , the homo of another sister , to spend the winter. She Is a beautiful young woman , possessing rare accomplishments , nnd Is a special favorite In the select , social et In which she moves. The story of the wedding 1 somewhat romantic. At any rate It was not In any ficnco conventional. For some yearn thu couple have been lovers , but last summer a misunderstanding Is nald to have arisen. Hut Mlfs Gray did not return a. magnificent diamond ring which scaled the vows be tween tlm. : About n month ago , so the story goes , Mlse Gray wrote to Mr. McCon nell that she was engaged to another a banker of Tampa. This Information Is said to have superinduced u period of Insomnia , yet Mr. McConnell stood up under It well. Why the ring was not returned to him ho could not understand , yet ho felt that by going after It ho might bring back Its pretty pOESOFSOr , tOO. A little later Mr. 'McConnell ' learned that the wedding had been set between Christ mas and New "fear's ; that the banker had bought u house , furnished It sumptuously and everything was In readiness for the final leap. Even the license had been pro cured. Mr. McConnell reached Tampa Just two days before the date set. Ho called at the residence of Miss Gray and asked for an Interview. Ho was ushered Into the parlor where the married sister received him and Miss Nclllo was called In. Mr. McConnell declared himself frankly , but kindly ; ho said ho was willing to marry Miss Gray , but If nho preferred another ho would grace fully submit to the Inevitable ; nor did ho then Insist upon the return of the ring. H soon became apparent that Miss Gray could not summon courage to return the ring that" her heart had long been his. Ho did not Insist upon a decision wt once. It didn't take a trance medium to sec that Miss Gray was sorely perplexed ; her dls'rcas of mind won his sympathy. At last he laid down an ultimatum ; ho would go to his hotel and ttsko the 7 a. in. train next day for the north. Ho would glvo Miss Gray until that hour to reach n conclusion. Bidding her a quiet adieu ho left her presence perhaps forever ! Hut ho hoped to bo remembered always as a friend. Ik > reached the depot next morning a few minutes before 7. As ho paced up and down the platform awaiting the departure of the train and only three minutes before the train started , Miss Gray came running up to greet him. There wcro unmistakable evi dences of a hurried toilet nnd a firm de termination to have one more brief Inter view. Miss Gray handed over the ring , which Mr. McConnell placed on his finger sorrowfully , bidding her farewell. He stepped upon the car platform and the train began to move. "Oh , take mo with you ! " she cried , and running along the platform Mr. McConnell helped her up Into the ear. The train sped on to the county seat , where they stopped , procured a Hcenso and were married. The | clerk told.Mr. McConnell he had Issued a license bearing the name of a Miss Nelllo Gray two days before. Mr. McConnell said ho thought it was simply a coincidence. After replenishing the wardrobe the happy cou"p le came on to Omaha , where they have been the recipients of congratulations of relatives and friends. Both arc held In high esteem In this city. They are from well-to- do families and are social favorites. K , B. Thlrklold , health inspector of Chicago " Cure cannot Dyspepsia cage , ayn : "Kodol bo recommended too highly.

BRYAN EMULATES DAN BOONE Tnivellins Toxnu I'ulN n I.iiclleroun riuiNi ; nnV. . .1. llrynii'n ( in-lit I'niitlirr Hum. A few days ago the wires flashed across the continent the startling Intelligence that W. J. Bryan and a select coterie of po litical apostles who had gone forth from the Btato capital of the Lone Star state to hunt had returned to camp with a llvo panther which they had captured. From a prominent Texas republican who IB traveling In the north comes nn amus ing sequel to this tale of almost romantic adventure. According to him the animal captured was nothing more than the harm less pet of nn Austin family. Some three years ago a Mr. Johnson of that city had captured a young panther , which had been reared In his home , had become thoroughly domesticated and was known as a harmless pet throughout thecity. . When the plans were arranged for the Bryan panther hunt soinn speculation was caused by the an nouncement that the hunters after the fiercest of the tiger pecles In America were required to go forth unarmed. Mr. Bryan oven then did not suspect the hoax that was being practiced upon him and up to da'e ' It has not been ascertained whether respon sibility therefor lira with Mr. Johnson or ex- Governor Hogg. The Texan relates that the harmless feline was dragged Into the woods very much agalwt Its will , concealed In a cave and after being harassed and badgered Into a stnto of scorning fear , Jt was turned loose just at nn opportune moment for the Bryan horse men to cliaso It up a tree and capture It. This was triumphantly accomplished and It Is eald that the pet panther smiled per ceptibly through his tears when he saw the hunters headed again toward Austin. The author of this version of the panther hunt hi responsible for tbo statement that the panther could not have been Induced to blto or scratch even a yellow dog except In Belt-defense. Mr. Johnson Is reported to have Imposed the condition that there were to bo no firearms , aa ho values the animal and did not want to sec It hurt , but It was so frightened that It has since refrained A favorite time for bargain hunters \ViMimdosi \ phenomenal record the last Salur- day of 1899 , but It will bo insignificant , to the crowds wlilrh wo will draw to our sale Thin Sntnnluj/ .

When Judge Ilabcock declined to turn over the otllce and records to Patrick King on Thursday At torney Brocn , who Is looking afler Mr. King's Interests , asserted that he would at once commence quo warranto proceedings with n view to ousting Babcock. Upon second end thought Mr. Breen changed his tactics and yesterday served Captain Hanley of the police force with the following notice from Mr. King : "You are hereby notified that I am the duly elected and qualified police Judge of South Omaha ; that all processes Issuing out of said court for the arrest or detention of persons , to be valid , must be signed by mo as Judge of said court. You are further notified that the trial and hearing of nil persons properly brought before the said court shall bo before mo as judge of said court. PATRICK KINO , Police Judge. " Mr. King spent several hours In the police court room yesterday , but did not again make a demand upon Judge Babc-ock for the otllce and records. H Is understood that an effort Is being made by Interested parties to have the police force recognlzo King , and the notlco served upon Captain Ilanley was prepared for that purpose. Judge Babcock holds that he was elected for a term of two years and qualified for the olDce. Ho Is perfectly willing that quo warraiito proceedings be brought by Mr. King In order that the question may bo de cided by the district court without delay. Judge Babcock Intends to retain his ofllce until the expiration of his term , unless ousted by order of the district court. l'.viIn'N Coiiilllloii ( JriMVlnir Worm- .
