Hirst, pastor of tho Klrat Meth odist Episcopal church, preached Sunday morning on tho subject of tho projected auditorium. Ills text waa from Acts xxl, 89: "I am a man, a cltlicn of no mean city." A magnificent congrcKatlon filled tho church ond nearly tho entire Hoard of Director of tho Auditorium company was present. "Cities aro an nbtoluto nccceslty," said tho pastor, "for process In science, nrt, Invention, all commercial and Industrial activities, In n word to nil that makes up an enriching and permanent civilization. In tho dlvlno plan for nations cities bavo a mtsGloti as well ns Individuals. As our per sonal rphero of action Is shown by our men tal and physical characteristics, so tho mission of a city Is declared by certain topographical and historical acts.

"Ono of the mastor strokes of this liat t'o for advancement Is tho building of a nreat und ornamental auditorium which shall servo tho purposo of concentrating cortaln forces which shall Insure tho healthy growth and upbuilding of tho city.' i.ivns OF dihcii'i.ics MOLDED, flcciif if TriiiiNllKnrntlnii llrouiclit IiiNiilrutloii to Thrill All. Itev. Luther M. Kuhnx of tho flrnco Lutheran church took for tho thomo of his Sunday morning sermon; "An Advent Thought Ilnsed on the Transfiguration of Christ." Tho text was from Mark lx 2, "And Ho was transfigured before them." Among other things Itnv. Mr. Kuhns said: "Tho transfiguration of Christ Ii a sceno Ifito which It Is hard to project ourselves. Thero Is something mysterious and un earthly nbout It that makes It hard to iindcretnml perfectly, nnd yet thero Is mre Inspiration for us than tho trnnsflguratlon. Jesus knew many hours of sorrow und sadness. Ha had spoken to tho.dlsclplo3 nbout his com ing death nnd nbout tlin trlnls awaiting him at Jerusalem, nnd grief came to them, i u .u ity wort) desirous of seeing tho mauler orntrd on tho throno In tho zenith of his power. "Following tlio nnnounccmcnts to ttm disciples, Jesus took l'otcr und James and John nnd led them awuy from tho city to a high mountain. Jesus seomcd to rejoice In mountain solitudes. Ho regarded them as tho natural altars, us homos of tho soul ami refuges for prayer, and to tho peace nnd quiet of theso retreats ho went time nnd ngaln for rest nnd for tho opportunity of Instructing tho disciples without In terruption. "Put yourselves In tho place of Christ's disciples. They had been told of his ap proaching death und felt that soon they would bo parted from him. There are moments which como Into men's lives which I'ejem like tho transtlgurntlon; experiences that scorn llko tho hours tho apostles llvcrt en the mountutn In the company of the Bavlour, when wo co3in to catch glimpses of pcacu moro than earthly. Theso tlmos und moments often como Into tho lives of Christian people. Thero on tho mountnln of Horraon, In tho hours of tho transfigura tion was Issued the command: 'This Is my beloved aon, glvo heed to him," and thero enmu to tho disciples tho realization that Christ was Indeed tho son of God. "Who ran tell what Influences were born In that brief moment; Influences which wero entrenching nnd Infallible during the many crucial periods that followed. This same realization which came to the apostles linpola us to keep constantly In mlud that wo are not living for riches or tho vnln ambitions of life. How futile theso things seem when the Oethsemeno hours which camo to Christ outer nlso Into our lives. Oothscmeno Is the great coun terpart of tho transfiguration and wo Deed Its huuni to help us to prepare for the struggles of llfo and to enable us to be como better men and women." KF.W l'ASTOll AT CK.VrilAI, C11UHC.1I. Itev. J. M. IIukn l'l-melim Inltlnl Ser mon on "Heller In the lllblo." At. tho Central United l'rosbytcrlan church Nov. J, M. Koss was greeted by a largo congregation yesterday morning. It wuh Rev. Hobs' tlrst sermon ns pastor of tho church and was un ablo effort. Tho In terior of tho church hus been retlnted nnd renovated during tho tlino tho congregation has boon without a pastor and Is greatly Improved In appearance. Ilov. Itoss be gan his pastorate under favorable circum stances and Is expected to provo u worthy successor of Kov. Alexander Gilchrist, who resigned tho pastorato of the church to en ter tho servlco of tho United I'resbyterlan Mission board. "Uollcf In tho niblo" was tho themo of Nov. Hoss' discourse. Ho urged that doubt of any portion of tho bible bu shunned by Christ's followers and that It bo accepted without quibbling. "The blblo Is not a book of which any man need bo ashamed. Ag nostics submit It to the test of so-called reason and attempt to pick It to plecoi. Tho book Is nbovo reason, ytl it Is not con trary to reason," suld the, preachor. "Wo csteom It u great honor to make the ac quaintance of tho author of somo helpful boolt. It Is plensuro to talk with men and women who havo published their thoughts and benefited tho world, nut how much greater should bo our lovo and ostcotu for Him who gavo us tho book of books. "God has given us a book which has stood tho test of reuturlcs and has guided tho world In Its progrcrs. Oreat men havo boen dlrojted by the teachings of this admlrablo book. Its Intlucnco has extended Into all parts of tho world. It Is tho work whlcn Inspired Grant and Lincoln nnd other lead ers to save the union. When Queen Vic toria waa asked to explain tho causo of England's greatness sho pointed to tho lilblo. What moro eloquent tribute could havo beeu pnld to tho great masterpiece? "Yet tho teachings of this book are of no avail to tho man who reads It and does not bollevo. Noro was taught by tho greatest philosophers of his time, but ho did not fol low their precepts. Ho pretended to ncccpt tho noblo sentiments of Heneca, but his Ufa waa sadly nt variance with tho teachings of tho grout Rom&n. "In tho blblo may bo found tho true philosophy of lmrplness In this world nud In tho world boyond. It embraces tho help ful teachings of all other books. This great book offers comfort nnd solace for all trou- bles. It contains the teachings ot Christ crucified and presents tho simple doctrine if salvation for those who bavo faith la God and avail themselves of tho great sac rifice tho Master mado that sinners might bo cleansed." 3 South Omaha News . Suggestions for the proposed now city charter aro coming In thick and fast to the various committees working on the doc ument. The citizens' commltteo does not or pear to bo doing anything of moment nnd for that matter tho same may bo said of tho Commercial club committee. It Is true that Attorney A. I'. Wells has formulated a lo. of Ideas which ho hopes to Incorporate In tho new charter, but tho fact thnt ho Is a corporation nttorney will possibly bo ngalnst his report when It is submitted. Among the suggestions made to tho trio of committees Is tho need of a tax commis sioner, it Is advocated that n man shall be employed for this purpose, who shall ro eclvo a good salary and thus place hi in whoro ho cannot bo Influenced. If an as sessment of the valuation Is made on theso lines It Is stated that tho revenuo of tho municipality will bo greatly Increased. A board of rovlow Is suggested. This bonrd lu to consist of the mayor nnd two free holders, who will pass upon cases whero an exception tins been taken. Tho duties of the board will bo to revise and arbi trate and all toxpaycrs who have a com plaint will bo given a hearing. It Is rec ommended that no valuation on property shall bo Increased without duo notlco being given. Tho matter of paving Is causing consider able worry on account of tho courts hav ing declared certain pnvlng assessments II lcgnl. In thin connection one taxpayer said that ho would favor n proposition compell ing tho city to pay for one-half of tho pav ing, thus rutting down tho district Indebt edness. Whllo this might and probably would Increase tho general debt tho public at largo receives the benefit. Another suggestion In this matter Is the abolition of pnvlng nnd grading petitions. All tho trouble tho city Is now having In tho courts Is caused by dcfectlvo petitions and If this fcautro Is abolished It Is llgured that n number of lawyers who make u spe cialty of prosecuting cases against the mu nicipality would huvo to turn their atten tion to something else. However, Instead of n petition tho council Is to be empowered, providing tho suggestion cnrrles, to grudu or pave and assess the cost against tho abut ting property, of course deducting the amount coming from tho city. Thirty dnys' notice Is to bo given In such cases and the council may bo deterred from carrying out tho provisions of tho regulations only by a protest frotn tho mnjorlty of the property owners In tho district. Now tho council has no authority to grado, puvo or Improve streets without n petition signed by a ma jority of property owners of tho district. Again It Is suggested that tho number of wards bo Increased according to population. In ono of tho charters now under construc tion there Is a proviso that tho city bo cut Into six wards and that thoro bo six coun cllmen, ench to bo elected at largo. Ily re ducing the number of councllmen thero will bo a saving of JCOO In salaries nnd the elec tion at largo will mean that every voter Is permitted to express his choice for munici pal lawmakers. It Is generally conceded that tho city treasurer should rccclvo a salary common surnto with tho responsibility nttnehod to tho office. In this event Interest on dally balances will bo converted into tho city treusurty. Ono very Important feature being con sidered Is tho granting of franchises. In thin connection It Is suggested that no franchises of any kind bo granted or any existing franchises renowed without pro viding for a royalty for tho city. Tho gas company now pays n certain sum per year for tho privileges granted and other cor porations will bo compolled, If this sugges tion Is adopted, to pay a percentage of tho Income Into tho municipal strong box. It Is figured that the street car company, tho water company, the electric light peoplo and others can be compelled to contribute under tho proposed regulation. Council MretltiR Ttinlnht. At tonight's meeting of tho elty council It Is expected thnt the boiler Inspector ordlnanco will como up for Its third read ing nnd final passage. Since this ordl nanco was referred to tho Judiciary com mltteo soveral changes havo been mado with tho expectation that tho alterations will moot with the IdeaR of all concerned. Aside from tho passage ot this ordinance thoro Is llttlo ot Importanco to look for ward to at the session this evening. Stockholder Meet In or Today. At 10 o'clock this forenoon the stockhold ers ot the Union Stock Yards company will hold tholr annual meeting here. Quite a, number ot eastern stockholders arrived yesterday and tho chances aro that thero will bo a good representation of the owners of tho property. It Is generally conceded that tho present officers will be re-elected, as tho business nt the yards has grown rapidly under tho guldanco of the present general manager. Ilmitlnir llnliliiim.

THE DEE PUBLISHING COMPANY. i WEDDING AWAITS THE GROOM Romanes of Childhood Lovers Ha Culmi nated in a Tragedy.

What has bocomo of Hay Dlrum, bride groom In prospect? His buckskin wallot, henvy with gold, and his spirits light with pleasant antici pations, this young man left his home nt Victor, Colo., October 26, dcstlnded to Lan non, Wis., where he was to wed Miss Nellie Jones, tho sweetheart of his childhood. Ho lms never been seen or heard from dlroctly since. Humor has It that he was shot, dccperatoly wounded and robbed In n suburb Of Omaha, but this report comes through such devious channels ns to leave Its authenticity In doubt. It Is n very "queer" state of affairs, say the detectives who have been at work on the caso. How ever, thero Is this to substantiate It: The blood-stained shirt and vest worn by tho young man when ho left homo, pierced by a bullethole, havo boen returned by mall to the anxious mother at Victor. Letter from a "Doctor." Accompanying tho grucsomo packago was a badly-spoiled and Ill-constructed letter, written by a personage who has played a most mysterious part In this case from tho first. He signs himself "Dr. Quer" and says ho was a witness of tho shooting affair near Omaha. Ho has written alto gether two lottors, tho first to Miss Jones, fiancee of tho missing man, tho second to Mrs. M. M. Illrum, the mother Doth epis tles aro meager In detail, both elusive, Im probable nnd altogether unsatisfactory. Detectives and pollco officers who havo worked upon tho caso nro utterly baffled. It Is without a parallel, they say, In their experience. One theory advanced by the sleuths, which upon Its fit co seems tenable, Is that young Dlrum, tiring of his matrimonial bargain, hit upon tho expedient of a "fake" shoot ing affray to account for Its nonfullmont. According to this conjecture, Illrum has seen lit to drop quietly out of his accus tomed groove of life; ho has engaged nn accomplice to write misleading letters and to send tho ghastly packago to his mothor without so much us taking tho troublo to tell her a plausible lie. This hypothesis Is confuted, however, by soveral circum stances. He has property In Victor, which ho would hardly nbandon for tho sake of such n whim. Ho was negotiating for the purchaso of n houso thero. Thero was every reason to believe ho loved his flnncco nnd It Is certnln that their alliance was favored by tho families of both. Tho situation admits of but this alterna tive: Tho boy was waylaid and robbed by thugs nnd Is now either dead or in ouch condition that ho cannot communlcato with his friends. Courtship Ilrnnn In Childhood. Ray Hlrum first mot Miss Nellie Jonus sixteen years ago In tho llttlo town ot Utlcy, Wis. Doth wero children then, but as their families wero near nolghbors and lntlmato friends Ray used to draw Nellie to school on his Bled nnd "see her home" from parties Then Nellie's mother died. Soon after this tho Dlrum family moved to Victor, Colo., Mr. Jones settled with hla children at Lannon, Wis., and from this tlrao forward communication botween the households was limited to the letters ex changed by Ray nnd Nelllo. In Colorado Hay Dlrum gavo his attention to mining nnd In tho course of a few years acquired a competence. Last fall, whllo Mrs. Dlrum wns visiting In a neighboring town, Hoy wroto his mother a letter notifying her of his engage ment to Miss Jones. Tho woddlng was to take place early In the winter, ho said. A fow days later ho sent his fiancee a beauti ful diamond ring. October 25 Ray Dlrum left Victor, Colo., to attend his nuptials In tho Wisconsin vil lage. Ho had with him, In tho long leather wallet commonly carried by miners, consid erable money, somewhere In tho neighbor hood of TOO. his mother thinks, and a small brown hand-satchel containing mineral spec imens and clothing. Ten days passed nnd there was no word from Hay Dlrum. Enter, the Mystery. Then tho anxious vigil of the bride-elect In the Wisconsin town was Interrupted by the receipt of this remarkablo note, bearing tho Omaha postmark, and datod Novem ber 2: MIhs Nellie Jones That youn man you nro looking for wont bo tharo for some time He mot with nn accident that ho will not recover In lefs than CO or SO days. He was not to blame for this predicament I will only say that ho wns shot through tho left sldo and I am going to take him away when ho has recovered he will ox- luiino tor nimseir, very truly, DH This wns written on a typewriter, evi dently by ono not familiar with the use of the machine, nnd, besides being Innocent of punctuation, was original as to spelling and grammar. It was the first eplstoltc ef fort of the mysterious Dr. Gucr to appear In this case. Upon advices received from Marshal O'Connell of Victor detectives from tho Omaha pollco department went to work, the first object being to find tho "doctor," but their efforts were abortive. No such man, so far as they could ascertain, lived In Omaha or near Omaha. Crows of Hurling ton passenger trains were Interviewed, but there was no record ot a passenger answer ing Ray Illrum's description. The authori ties wero about to give up the 'search when new Interest was injected into tho rose by tho receipt of tho "doctor's" socond letter. Here He Conies Aarnln. This tlmo tho missive was a mere note Bcrlbblcd In lead pencil and accompanied the bloody shirt and vest which had been worn by tho missing boy. Postmarked at Seattle, Wash., It waa addressed to Charles Dlrum, Victor, Colo., Ray's brother. It said: BRATTLD, Wash.. Nov. 21. 1900.

H.l mall you somo of his olothes his vest and shirt, which find herewith. Ho wanted me to keep them but Im not going to do it. G. Letter Deepens Mystery. This is tho extent of the Information vouchsafed the family and fiancee of tho young man as to his fato and even this Is so palpably untrue as to servo only to com plicate tho mystery. Mrs. Dlrum tins this to say or her lost son, lu n letter to tho Omaha chief o; police: "Shortly before leaving he wns warned by u friend against visiting questionable resorts or talking with strangers nnd he answered, very emphatically: 'I'll make a confident ot no one.' Ho also said he'd not stand a holdup, that bo would fight tor his money, and that no one could take It from him unless he took It from his dead body. I never knew of Ray's having any trouble, or of his having a fight with anyone. He was a good billiard and pool player and he wes fond ot tho games, but never associated with Immoral people. "Ho wnB very observing and a great in vestigator would face danger to Inquire Into anything mysterious could rend humnn naturo well, a very witty writer nnd quick to catch n Joke; had a hearty salute for children, of whom ho was very fond; wns liberal-hearted with porsonnl friends, but qulot nnd distant among strangers, Miss Jones Is broken-hearted over tho affair, but Is bearing up nobly and Is tireless In her search." The Omaha police havo nbandoned the case, but his family and the girl In Wis consin are still hopeful that Hay will emerge from obscurity. r AMUSEMENTS. At the Oriihenni It would be difficult to arrange a bill of livelier sketches than thoso which nro to bo scon at the Orpheum this week. Tho list has tho merit of belug longer than usual and brlmfull of now things. Tho enter tainment was by a company that remains togother through tho season under tho namo of "The Orpheum Show," and to nay that for averago excellcnco it Is tho best thnt has been presented Is not n misstate ment.
