Mention,
Judge Wlnfleld Scott Strawn, one of the
prominent lawyers ot Omaha, died sud
denly of heart disease Sunday forenoon at
IiIb apartments In the Karnam flats, 1821
Farnam street. Ho arose at tho wiuul
hour and seemed tn be In bis normal
iicalth and spirits. After taking a bath he
retired to his room. About 10:30 o'clock
one ot the maids rapped at his door and,
us there was no response, entered and
found lilm lying on his back, crosswise of
the bed. He was nulto dead. She gave
iho alarm and a physician wits cnlled, Init
he could do nothing more than write the
death "certlflcati!.
Mrs. Strawn, who Is now In California,
was notlllcd at once. She loft Omahn 11
few days ago with n party of tourists as
tho guest of Mrs. .1. H. McConnell.
Judge Strawn has been a sufferer from
nn affection of tho heart for several yearn
and he has often been heard to xay that
he thought the end was near. Ho was
present In the court room durlujt the lust
week In December when Judge Ogdon was
stricken with heart fallur'. and It Is said
that thin incident preyed upon his mind
and that he regarded It somewhat in the
light of a premonition ot hts own death.
Tho Klka' lodge, of which he was a mem
ber, has taken charge ot tho body and the
funeral will probably bo rond'.cted under
Its auspices.

TO BUILD A NEW CHURCH
I'nlhrr llnrrliiKtou linn Completed
Pinna for HI. Ot-llln'a nn
Fortieth Street.
Father Harrington of tho St, Cecilia's
parish has completed planB for the erection
of n new church at Fortieth and Burt
streets, the estimated cost of which Is
$25,000. Tho plans of the architect show
a building of Gothic lines, with departures
therefrom approximating tho earlier Ro
man. Considerable Interest centers around thin
new church, as tho par'shioners of St.
Cecilia's bellovo that tho new edifice will
In time become tho chapel of a new cathe
dral. Tho officers of tho Catholic church
work slow and bishops often lay plans
which will be carried out by their suc
cessors. It has been an open secret for
some tlmo that tho church Is proparlng
for tho tlmo when tho present cathedral
will have to be abandoned and It Is said by
good authority that when the new ca
thedral Is built It will bo erected within
closo proximity to the episcopal residence.
Tho location of tho new church of St.
Cecilia Is admirably suited to tho purpose,
as It Is within a few blocks of tho resi
dence and cvon closer to tbo Academy of
tho Sacred Heart In Park place.
Tho new church will bo constructed of
Kdgcmont stone, with trimmings In lighter
material. It will have a seating capacity
of 400 and will bo one of the most completo
church edifices In tho city.
The present building In this parish was
built eleven years ago, on leased ground,
and tho parish has outgrown Its capacity.
A magnificent congregation filled the First
Methodist Episcopal church Sunday night,
the principal attraction being "An Evening
with Mendelssohn," presented by some of
the leading musicians of the city. Every
pew whs occupied .and tho aisles were
crowded with persons unable to secure
scats. Throughout the congregation, which
was mado up largely of music loveis. wac
a liberal sprinkling nt local musician.
Ilev. Dr. Hirst, pastor, preached from the
theme, "The Gospel," which he treated
from a broad, commonsense standpoint.
All tiie musln of the evening, with the
single exception nt the chant, was from
tho works of Mendelssohn, Including the
hymn tunes.
The quartet, "Cast Thy Iiurdcn I'tion the
Lord," was suug with Impressive effect
by Mrs. Kelly, Mlss Davis and Measw.
MiCreary and Moore.
Kiiinlnlte Iteiiilltliin,
Miss Frances Davis' rendition of the
contralto solo, "llut tho Lord Is Mindful,"
was cxqulslto and was well iiji to the
standard of her previous efforts.
One Interesting feature of the organ
music was that the selections were fa
miliar, almost without an exception, espe
cially the "Spring Song," which has been
Introduced so often by visiting bands--Innes,
llcllstedt and others and the wed
ding mnrch, from "Midsummer Night's
Dream," to which many bridal couples have
marched from the churches of the world.
Mrs. Kelly was In splendid voice and her
rich, ringing tones filled the church with
beautiful melody as she saug thn solo
abovo the chorus In "Oh, for tho Wings of
a Dove." In the duel of the last number,
"I Waited for the Lord," she was equally
effective. Miss Louise Wletz, who sulfa
the other part In the duet, Is a young singer
from Aurora, Neb. She showed a voice of
pleasing quality and much force.

TO CI HID '1 Hi: Gil I P. ,
Advice of u I'nmona Phyalelmi.
Flrit and foremost, REST.
Take care of yourself. Your already
weakened nerves want rest and must have
It. It the attack is severe, go to bed and
rem.lu there. More fatalities result from
neglect of this precaution than from any
other case.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive organs are
In no rondttlon to take care of large quan
tities of food.
Drink plenty ot pure, cold water. It al
lays the fever, stimulates the kidneys to
actios and opens up the pores or tho skin
Keep the bowols open with Dr. Miles' Nerve
and Liver Pills.
Take three doses ut Dr. Miles' Nervine
per day, and If you cannot sleep take an
extra dose at bedtune. To further control
the fever and to overcome the peculiar
aches and pains ot grip, use Dr. Miles' Pain
Pills. They act quickly and effectually
and no bad effects reiult from their use
These remedies have been thoroughly tested
more than a million times and their ffl

vantage of location enjoyed by the western
manufacturer and jobber.
Later advices from tho cast are to the
effect that not only the manufacturing and
Jobbing Interests ot the west are to be at
tacked, but that the new association will
enter the realm ot the retailer and will
gtcutly Incrensa the business ot the "cata
logue houses," so-called the firms which
sell goods direct to consumers by means
of price current's and descriptive catn
lecuts. The plan upon which the new- association
Is to operate Is ns follows: In all ot the
large eastern cities an office will be opened
where consignments for western towns
will be received and held, until a carload
ot goods ot various kinds can be made' up
for some point on tho Missouri river or
beyond. The car will then be loaded with
the mixed cargo nnd consigned to the west
ern representative of the association, whose
duty It will be 10 receive the car and deliver
the goods to the various purchasers. In
order that tho plan shall succeed It Is
necessary to have certain freight classlflcu
ttous changed, nnd as one classification has
ban changed without notice to Omaha man
ufacturers there Is a well-grounded fear
taht others will be made.
Ever since railroad lines have run be
yend the Missouri river that stream has
been n basing point for freight charges
and this face alony Is relied upon by cer
tain of tho persons Interested for the be
lief that the roads will .not consent to the
ihuuges demntidrd by the new association.
Thcso people claim that If the companies
sl.culd accede to the demands It would
mean a material reduction In revenue, us
large quantities ot gocds now shipped In
broken lots from Chicago and other east
ern cities to Omaha nnd other Missouri
rher points, paying the highest local rate,
would then be shipped In car lots. Othei
dealers In tho west arc not so confident
and say that It the new plan succeeds tho
company will bo relieved of much respon
sibility, ns It Is .easier to ship and handle
car lots than it Is tn handle broken lots,
und that there would bo a reduction Im
the cost of handling tho frolghts, which
would equalize the reduction In tho rev
enues Tho Commercial club of Kansns City has
tnken the mntter up In earnest, dwelling
nt length on the effect the chnngo would
havo on tho relnll trade. Appeals have been
sent to other commercial bodies In the
towns affected nnd It Is possible' that the
coming week will see an organized effort
to secure aisuranccs from the lines of tho
western Trunk Line association which will
put at rest tho fears of the western Jobbers.

From Various Pulpits

Omaha Preachers.
Patrician nnd Commoner; a Study of
Manhood Through the Lives of Washing
ton and Lincoln," was tho themo of Rev.
E. F. Trefz at Kountzo Memorial church
last night.
The world has always longed for heroes
upon whom It may feed Its aspirations. The
natlonnl heroes whom we revcro aro Wash
ington nnd Lincoln," said Rev. Trefz. "And
these men are not loved alone becnuso thoy
built and preserved n republic. Tho great
ness aud goodness ot their character did
much to win tho admiration and respect
of all Americans.
It augurs well for tho peoplo that theso
heroes aro clothed with perfect graco nnd
completo personality. Doubtloss they had
faults, which posterity would blot out.
Jesus Christ has given civilization Its meas
ure of manhood and men Idealize heroes
Into an approximation ot tho qualities that
endears tho Snvlor to the world. Fortunate
It Is that such heroes stand out before us,
because our political system has been so
often aborted In Its purposes.
"Let tho youth remember that men
demand great Ideas Incarnate In flesh nnd
blood. High nnd holy purposes cannot bo
held by stained and soiled minds. Wicked
lives cannot execute magnificent Ideas, If
tho principles of reform are to be car
ried Into execution they niUBt bo condensed
In tho flaming henrt of n Luther. The lino
Ideas of patriotism and free Institutions
must be capitalized In the life of a grent
and goal Washington, Tho completo free
dom of the race must be compacted In the
thtrobblng sympathy and righteous lite of
a Lincoln.
"In the lives ot such heroes as Lincoln
and Washington we. discover tho comploto
depondence upon God and obodienco to Hts
will. There Is no wrong but that can bo
righted, no industrial or political problom
that cannot be solved by obcdlcnco to the
free Christian spirit of our Institutions.

Rev. A. II. Kaylor addressed n men's
meeting nt tho First United Presbyterian
church Sunday afternoon. Ilo spoke of
several true Christian characteristics
which form the perfect life, Particular
stress was laid upon what tho speaker
designated as the superior qualities of
moral courage In comparison with physical
courage. In part, he said: "It's not always
easy to be true to yourself when no one
but thyself and thy God witnesses nets of
Christian fortitude. That's where courage
nsserts Itself. It Isn't difficult to ho
courageous when you know that the plaudits
ot multitudes awaits your actions, but
when nothing Is In store for you but u
consciousness of doing r'lsht, then's when
It's difficult to be courageous.
"God deliver me from a lazy mau. Dr.
Talmage says that the devil tempts most
men. but the lazy man tempts thn devil.
Beware of the man who speaks lightly of
tho home circle and of tho man who speaks
lightly of'woinan In general. Beware of
that youth who speaks of his father as tho
"old man." I think that there Is not much
In such a young man. Give me tho man
who has a heart a warm, kind, affectionate
nature. If you have not a tender heart
you aro not a man. The bravest, noblest
men are the most sympathetic,"
They Tall In Know God,
Rev. C. S. Sargent begun at St. Mary'i
Congregational church last evening, n ser
ies of lectures on "The Rise of Christian
ity," the theme of the first one being, "The
Old Roman World as he Background of
Christian Civilization." His lecture lan
night was Illustrated with eighty-two
tereoptlcon views, setting forth vividly thn
scenes, which ho painted in word picture.-!.
Rev. Dr. Sargent maintained at the out
set that the failure of the Roman emplro
was due to the failure to know God and to
m-ognlze the brotherhood ot man. Even
Rome had no "all-father" nor any religious
sense ot mankind, Her sods were not
even good authority to the pagan standards.
The ancient world did not shnre with So
crates, his idea of God. The orphan cry
for n father had to bo met nnd it led to
tho Itomnns to defy their Caesars.
Philosophy did no better by the people for
Scnccosald, "Tho Lord of (he World Is Nero."
Sociology did not lend thorn to tho lovn of
brother. Tho provinces showed one Latin
city. Into which nil the spoils and the
slaves from the conquests had been poured
Labor was undignified, Woman wns driven
to tho wall btforo this hatred of brother and
all womanhood was chattel. Tho darkest
stnln on tho Roman rscutrheon la the use
of human agony for sport and pastime.
Nowhere In classic literature do you fltiil
nny abhorrence of the nbeddlng of blood
either In sport or In warfare. But It re
mained to fill Rome's cup, that tho Christ
should bo crucified on n cross,

In his sermon at Hanscom Park Metho
dist church yesterday morning, Rov. Clyde
Clay Clssel compared tho twelve disciples
of Jesus Christ with tho types of man
kind, which nro to bo found In every com-,
munlly. John is typical of tho reset ved
man, the serene man who Is not easily
tempted nml causes his friends, but 111 t lo
anxiety. Thomas typifies the doubter, thy
man who cannot believe, but who does not
give way to his emotions and In his
strength of character Is safe among the ul
luruments of tho world. In Peter te world
Is shown tho man who Is loud tn tho praise
of his creator tinder fnvorable conditions,
but who Is liable to deny God when he
should bo most loyal In his devotion.
"Many Christians aro like Peter," said
Rev Clssel. "When that disciple was In
Gulllee. In the tryatliig plnco of Jesus and
his followers, ho was more vehement 'n
IiIb praises of tho man of Gallloo than nny
of tho other disciples, None, testified as
loudly as Peter. But when tho savior whs
on Cavalry, when Ho was In dlsgraco In
Jerusalem, Peter forjot Him.
"And whor. Jeeus roso from tho tomb nrd
summoned his disciples to Him. He asked
that they meet In Galilee. He was anxious
that they should be brought; together again
whero they had spont their happiest hour,
He knew that- Peter would bi happier In
Galileo thar elsewhere. Peter, the faltering
disciple, wns tho one for whom ' Jesus
prayed continually. It In so with Ills fol

of the Inconstant ones, nnd offers to meet

At St. Phllomena's cathedral Sunday
morning Father McOovern preached on the
subject of marriage, rending tho gospel
account of the marriage at Cann In Galilee
as a text. In opening his remarks he
said: "There Is no power on earth that can
dlstolvo tho m.irrlago bond, once this con
tract has benn validly entered InJo nnd the
marriage consummated. Separation there
may be, for grnvo cause, or u divorce
from bed and board, but u divorce 'k
vinculo' Is never allowed. The legislation
of the church In this matter rosts not
simply on her own nuthorlty, which wero
qnlto sufficient for any Catholic, but It
resst likewise on the word of God, as re
vealed to us In sacred scripture.
"The original Institution ot marriage
wns the perpetual union of one man and
one woman, no polygamy, no divorce. Tho
peoplo nt the tlmo of Mqses had fallen
nway from the teachings of the patriarchs
and Moses' laws on the subject were In
tended to. mitigate tbo evils of the false
system then In practice, Jesus sought to
restore the primitive rule." Tho priest
then quoted from the teachings of Jesus ns
found In Mntthew xlv und Mark ; also
from St. Paul In Corinthians vl. The per
petual Idea of the marriage of, man and
wife Is shown by a passage In Cie epistle
to the Epheslaus, chapter v, where It Is
compared to the union between Christ aud
his church, Tho early falhcrs nlso dwell
upon this feature In their writings.
"There Is a two-fold nature to mar
riage. The help to both pactlea from both
must must not only be ot a temporal or
der, but also In things spiritual. Once
admit the possibility of a divorce with per
mission to enter upon second nuptials and
you have engrafted Into married llfo a
germ of disease which will foster mutual
recriminations, which will cause petty
quarrels to develop Into violent abuse. In
a word, you havo destroyed conjugal hap
piness. If you seek a moral nation you
will find It only where 'the fr.mlly Is vir
tuous, nnd n stulo has 'jib more dangerous
foo than that which,, attacks the family
tie." The speaker than gave statistics
showing that In Douglas ccuntry during
thn year 18fl!i a number of divorces have
bsen grnntcd equal to at least '20 per
cont of tho marriages performed In tho
county. Ho stated that by reason of di
vorces many children wero thrown upon
the world nt an early ago aud that the
number of charitable institutions were
thereby Increased; that In ease of second
marriages the condition of the children
Was but little Improved, ns they often
became a cr.uso of trouble In, the new
household. Sojlety must protect Itself nnd
tho speaker was pleased to seo that" law
makers and the different Protestant sects
wero now considering tbo question of mnr
rlngo and divorce In a way which promised
to chango conditions.

very near toning tny life. I did but just Hvo jut es

no benefit from them. Sirs. David Goddnrd.of Ornuge,
Mom., who had been cured by Dr. Oix-eno's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, advised me to use Nervum.
" I was confined to my bed when I begun to U50 tho

PUKIN. Kcb. 24. Tho full text of tho
Imperial edict regarding punishment was
sent last evening to tho ministers of the
powcrn.- It la Identical with tho unofficial
report of tho coutcxt of tho edict cabled
to the Associated Picas. Tho ministers
say that theio Is a llttlo confusion with
reference to strangulation and sulcldo. nut
that this Is not Important.
LI Hung Chang received n bulletin an
nouncing the sentences which could best
ho carried Into effect by tho board of pun
ishment, and ho requested thu Japanese
to deliver Ylng Nlen and Chao Shu Chlao
In cider that the sentences In their cases
might be executed today In conformity
with tho edict, but tho Japanese consid
ered tho notice too short and havo de
layed the enforcement of tho pcnnltles until
Tuesday In order that tho ministers of tho
powers might scud representatives, ob they
desire. It Is also Intended to guard tne
men at tho pluce of execution so ss to pre
vent sulcldo or escape.
When official confirmation, duly certified
by high olllcers ot state, of the sentences
of death upon tho others shall havo been
received nnd these two have boen exe
cuted, China will havo practically com
plied with tho terms domauded by tho
powers, ns It has already agreed to issuo
edlctii prepared by tho ministers ot tne
powers for tho cessation of examinations
and regarding the responsibility of vice
roys nnd governors.
Prince Chun, tho emperor's brother, will
soon go to Ilerlln to express China's re-
grots for tho murder of Damn von Kettcler.
Ho tays China has now nccopted to the
uttermost and nlso performed everything
required by tho powers except tho payment
of the Indemnities, tho amount of which
has not been decided. Ho thinks nrrango
menlB should bo made for the evacuation of
Pokln, In order to enable the court to re
turn. He says ho believes no nation In
history ever compiled with n scries of terms
more quickly and more completely.
No official announcement has been mado
of tho abandonment of the proposed expedl
Hon Into the Interior, but It Is not likely
that any further preparations will be made.
Tho foreign envoys feel that the proposal
was a master stroke nnd caused the settle
mrnt of what might have been a protracted
affair.
Tim ministers of tho powers regard the
punishment edict as satisfactory. Chili
