Dr. A. 0. 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

mission of a city Is declared by certain
topographical and historical acts.
"To llnd tho pulso of the grrnt cities Is

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."

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

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

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

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.

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

MIhs Nellie Jones That youn man you

time He mot with nn accident that ho

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:

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.
