HPV. C.V. . Snvldsc , pastor of the People's
church , hfi8 plans about matured ( or the
broadening of the work of hla church which
vlll plnco It In .1 position thnt will enable
Mm to accomplish even more than ho has
heretofore ilono for the classes anionn whom
ho labors In Omahn. 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.

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

; ; SOUTH OMAHA NEWS ,
The question as to who Is the police Judge
of South Omaha seems to be attracting con
siderable attention nt present. 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.

John Fyda , the saloonkeeper at Twcnty-

fered a relapse , and Is now confined to his

recovered rapidly , and last Sunday was so
much Improved that the physicians allowed
him to return to his homo in this city. Fyda
was about his place of business for two or
three days nnd was to all appearances get

Pyszka for the shotting of Fyda , but on ac
count of the Injured man's sudden turn for
the worse the arraignment may bo post
