Within a week the Nebraska commission
f the Louisiana Purchase exposition will
Issue an appeal to tho citizens of the Rtato
for funds with which to preparo exhibits
for that exposition.
Gurdon W. Wattles, who was elected
president of tho commission at Its first
meeting, speaking of the work of tho so
eiety, said:
,'At this time the commission docs not
Bcod a largo amount ot money, hut soma
money Is necessary. During tho coming
summer somo of the exhibits must ho pre
pared. This Is particularly true of the ag
ricultural and horticultural dlsplnyn and It
will bo neccssHry for the commission to
make arrangements with persons who have
bid previous experience In preparing ar
ticles for display In such affairs. What
money wo ralso now will he used In thl.i
connection.
'Not one dollar of the funds contributed
by the people will be used In paying cither
the expenses or for tho tlmo consumod
fcy members of the commission. This was
decided by unanimous voto at tho first
nesslon. Wo aro none of us in the commis
sion tor any financial gain and none of tup
members aro politicians who hnvo ever
been at tho public crib. So never having
acquired a tasto for money from this source
"Wo will not miss It.
Two itriMoiin for IHsiilny.
"Wo aro going to do tho beHt wo can to
prepare an exhibit which will bo a credit
to tho state. We do this for two reasons.
First, we do not think that Nebraska, ono
of tho best states formed from the terri
tory of Louisiana, can welt afford to bo
bsent from an exposition whero the sis
ter statco will roako displays.
"Then, again, as residents of tho stato ot
Nobraska and of the city of Omaha, wo
feel that we should mako somo return for
tho friendly spirit shown when we held the
TransmlBslsslppl exposition. They wcro
thoa Invited to becomo our guests and to
show what progress they had made. They
came and did much to mako that expo
sition tho success which it proved to bo
In overy respect. It Is now our turn to re
spond to tho favor and wo beltevo that
Nebraska will tako full advantago of tho
opportunity.
"Whlio wo nro preparing tho appeal to
tho pcoplo of the stnto, which will bo
signed by overy member ot the commis
sion, somo ot tho members will tako the
matter up with tho railroads which center
In or pass through tho state. Wo expect
to show to tho managers of theso roads
that It will bo much to their advantago
to contrlbuto largely to tho enterprise.
I think that tho railroad men will sco tho
Importanco of tho matter nnd will bo of
material assistance to the commission.

"Tho work ot tho commission is entirely
eparato from any nctlon which may bo
taken by tho state legislature. It is not
tho Intention of tho commission to ask
tho legislature tor any assistance, nor will
wo bold, out any hope, to contributors that
money which thoy advanco will bo refunded

WORRY OVER WHAT TO WEAR
CrelKMon Mrillca In n Dlnpnte nn to
Choice of OrntliintliiK
Costume,
Tho all absorbing question with the mem
bers of the class of '02 of Crelghton Med
ical college is not, "Will I pass my
'exams' and bo graduated in May?" Hut
"What shall I wear when I rim graduated?"
Following precedent a meeting was called
for last Saturday afternoon. It was thought
nnd Intended that the meeting would be
a matter of form only. Hut such was not
tho case. Form was not In It at nil, though
figures were analyzed and somo came very
near being pulverized beforo tho meeting
adjourned.
Throe factions were developed at the
meeting and rach faction had an Idea
about dress and each faction dovelopcd
oratorti that would win fame as stump
speakers. After tho meeting had been
caled to order and tho students had become
orderly, ono young man with morn assur
ance, than Judgment announced that it
would be proper to hold only a short ses
sion, as ho "supposed, of course, caps and
gowns would bo worn,"
"Well, you've got another sup. coming,"
roared two-thirds ot tho meeting, followed
quickly by "1'rlnco Albert nnd stovo pipe
hats are the only things to wear." Tho ad
vocates of tho cap and gown were so sur
prised that the long coats would doubtless
hnvo stampeded tho meeting had not a
spokesman for tho third faction quickly an
nounced the "I will wear a dress suit or
nothing."
Had the members believed him the moot
ing would havo adjourned, but they did not.
After order was again restored tho prcsl-,
dent announced that ns three factions had
been developed ho awaited the plcasuro of
tho meeting.' Hut It was not pleasure. Do
bates long nnd furious ensued. Tho ad
vocates of tho cap and gown announced
that nil the old colleges wore them; the
costume was dignified nnd It befitted the
class of '02 to have all tbo dignity it
could. Tho champions of tho' Prince Al
bert said that garment was moro dignified,
and, besides, it would likely bo tbo last
suit of clothes from homo and it would bo
of more srrvlca than the gowns. Tho dress
suit men thought tholrs was the only
proper suit to wear It was society and
what Is more society, than graduating ex
ercises? Tho frequent Interruptions ot tho Prince
Albert men so enraged tho other factions
that a cap and gown man made a motion
that all Prince Albert men wear leather
trousers and sombreros. Tho meeting ad
journed without making a selection, in
order that each faction could round up
moro followers for the next meeting. "The
indications," said one of tho students, "are
that tho class ot '02 will havo as many dif
ferent costumes ns there are members."

RGES THAT FRANCHISES BE PAID FOR
nil Attention to Some Hnds thnt
Merited Cities Shonld Seek to At
tain If Jiew Consolidation
I'lnn In Tried.
"A city is not immortal. It gets Its re-
ards and punishment all tn this life and
usually very promptly. It therefore be
hooves good citizens to study any pro
posal which bears on municipal welfare,"
am Rev. Hubert C. Herring In his sermon
on "Greater Omaha" last night at the
First CongreKatlonnl church. "There Is bo-
fore this community tho proposal of a com
mittee nppolntcd nt a mass meeting held
n the Interest of public economy. The
plan submitted Is a comprehenslvo ono nnd
contemplates sweeping changes.
"I shall not discuss in detail tho feasi
bility of measures proposed. Such discus-
Ion would compel judgment upon a multi
tude ot technical atfd legal questions which
I havn not attempted to Investlcate. I shall
sk you, Instend, to take a look nt tho ends
hlch tho commltttee has In view and to
consider their desirability. Tho first thing
sought Is economy and economy Is a worthy
end. It Is municipal folly to Incrcaso
taxation in such a measure that home
building and enterprise aro discouraged.
llrflneH it Municipal sin.
It Is municipal sin to take from citizens
nn undue proportion of their earnings, Tho
means by which tho committee proposes
to effect economy nro tho enlargement of
territory nnd tho consolidation of tho func
tions which aro now discharged by county
and city officials. There Is no room to ques
tion that those measures, It carried out,
ould accomplish the end In view. It may
bo doubted whethor the amount of saving
fleeted would bo no largo ns anticipated.
"The plan would not bring relief unless
supplemented by a moro perfect utilization
ot sources of revenue. Tho committee.
ould doubtless agree to this and probably
ould also ngrco with mo when I point
out that In tho public utilities of the city
there Is a legitimate source ot revenuo of
lnrge and growing proportions from which
very little Is now obtained. Tho com
munity which grants a franchlso and gives
It much of Its value should receive Just
compensation for tho gift.
"Tho second end in view Is homo rule. A
few years ago many were advocating tho
turning of tho government ot cities aver to
thb stnte. It is now generally; conceded.
that such policy Is disastrous. Bach city
should bo allowed, as tho commltteo sug
gests, to work Its own salvation under a
broad charter of rights. Theso powers, of
course, must bo limited by genoral' legisla
tive supremacy ot stato and some provisions
llko that ot limiting tho debt which may
bo Incurred. But broadly speaking, each
.city Bhould bo free to creato a municipal
heaven or bell as It likes.
Wonld Simplify liy Centralising.
"The third end In view Is tho. efficiency
' government. Tho commltteo hopes to
accomplish this by simplifying 'tho machin
ery and by closely locating the responsi
bility. Here again all students of munic
ipal affairs are agreed that complexity Is
curso to a city government. Tbo mul-
tltudo ot elective officers renders elections
largely a farce. Tho mass of the commun
ity has little Idea as to whero final respon
sibility for the conduct ot affairs Is located.
"From this review It Is clear that the
committee has selected tbo vital points of
municipal reform. Its suggestions should
hayo careful consideration by tho entire
community. It Is true that to carry out
theso suggestions would Involvo tedious and
protracted effort. But to continue on prcs-
nt lines will also bo a tedious and pain
ful process. The following remark of Josh
Billings Is pertinent to this situation: 'It
a statistical fact hat tho wicked work
harder to reach hell 'inn tho righteous do
to enter heaven.' "
Its flight, and Is there transformed; It Is
water no longer; It is Bpray. Tho western
sun falls upon It and paints a beautiful
rainbow. So It Is with our lives. We
labor long, nro humiliated nnd broken on
tho rocks, but finally tho sunlight of God's
love lifts us from the crags below, and wo
sco tho beauteous rainbow of hope."

His llfo to us would havo been lost. As
It was, this resurrection completed His
ntonemcnt and fulfilled to mnnklnd to tho
fullest extent tho cxnmplo ot His llfo and
work on earth."
Rev. Jennings' sermon wns on tho theme,
"Tho Atonement of Christ," nnd his texts
woro two, John xvl, 7, nnd Phlllpplans I,
23 and 21. Tho latter excerpt was tho
well-known words of Paul; "I nm In n
strait betwixt two, being a desire to de
part nnd bo with Christ, which Is fnr better
for me, nevertheless to nbldo tn the flesh,
which Is moro needful for you."
The preacher contrasted tho manner In
which Christ and Paul met their deaths.
Tho former went with agony, Paul with
glory. And this dcsplto tho fact that Paul
had been n sinner on earth, Jesus tho
Christ. Tho reasons for this difference nt
tho brink of tho grnvo wns that Paul was
mado a saint through redemption, while
Christ wob weighted down with tho burden
of the sins of all mankind.
Thus Christ's suffering was nctual, His
agony real, as He approached His God. Ho
died for our sins, and then Ho roso for
our Justification. Ho effected atonement
by death ns a sinner, thus falling, whlio
Paul roso, but tho resurrection wns tho
culmination of Ills teachings, and assured
them an everlasting llfo among men.

Constablo Hans Ttmmo, who was shot
January 8 by John Rolfas at tho homo of
tho latter, Thirteenth and Fredericks
streets, has so far recovered from his wound
ub to bo ablo to talk. When Been at tho
Clarkson hospital Sunday afternoon ho gavo
tho following account of tho shooting:
"At the tlmo I undertook to servo thnt
writ of restitution upon John Rolfas I was
duly qualified to act as a constablo In Doug
las county, having been appointed last
spring to tho office by tho county commis
sioners. Tho pu'rposo of tho document was
'to. get Rolfas out of tho house, as ho owed
almost a year's rent to thb ownor, Thomas
Murray. Tho day beforo tho shooting I
went out thcro and asked him to got out,
tolling him I didn't want to servo tho writ,
and that tho best thing ho could do would
bo to get out of the houso without wait
ing for n process at law, but ho said ho
wouldn't do It. Then, on tho morning of
January 8, I went out with tho writ.
"Hitching my horse nnd buggy to tho
fence In the rear ot tho premises, I started
to walk up the, path to tho houso, nnd be
foro I had taken a dozen steps I saw tho
old man standing in tho doorway with a
gun in his hand. It was ono ot thoso old-
fashioned Zulu muskets. I kept right on
walking, but called to him to put down the
gun. Ho didn'tisay a word. When I was
flvo or six paceB away, ho raised tho weapon
and pointed. It. at. me.
'Then I reached for a llttlo 32-caliber
pistol that was i In, my overcoat pocket. I
knew the .revolver was empty, but I
thought I could mako a bluff with It. I
hadn't got it out of my pocket beforo ho
fired and I fell to, tho ground."
Dr. J. E. Summors says Timmo Is pro
gressing nicely, and that thuB far ho sees
no signs ot, dangerous complications. Ho
thinks his phanccs for recovery aro dally
growing brlghtor.

Her,
Mann Tells How to llnnlsh Dead
Past.
In his Sunday morning sermon, at Unity.
hurch, Seventeenth and Cass streets, Rev.;
Newton M. Mann Implied that tho best
posslblo thing to do with past errors Is to
observe the lesson they taught and then
forget them as well as possible by direct
ing futuro energy to wrestling with such
opportunity lor better things as each now
day shall present.
Tho sermon was on "How to Deal with a
Dead Past," and ho quoted tho remark of
Jesus to "lot tho dead bury Its dead,"
urging tho possibility of His having mado
that remark under circumstances other than
thoso which tho writers say provoked It.
Giving the phrase Its modern application,
Rev. Mann sold In part:
"Every person looking dbck upon nis
own llfo finds something to regret. There
Is a dead past haunting us that wo would
fain bo rid of. Wo must put It asldo, drop
It and devoto ourselves to duty which is
of the present, not ot tho past. Now Is
tho tlmo when wo may bo better. How
ever wo havo failed before, God seems to
say each morning, 'Hero Is a new day. Soo
what good can be done In ltl' thus afford
ing us a way to bury tho distress ot tho
old days. '
"Tho adago, 'Never too lato to mend.
is a true one, but it Is not synonymous with
Never too lato to bo mended.' Every year
that a man yields to habit tho chances ot
his overcoming It grow less and the des
perately wicked Boldom reform, yet thero
Is and can be no such thing as Involuntary
salvation. Tho beginning ot a better fu
turo is the putting of a dead past out of
the way. Tho only way Is through a sort
of spiritual bankruptcy. What absolutely
cannot bo helped, let go; nnd direct tho
effort against something which can."

on tho mountain watching and praying,
"Why is it that the Lord sends His chil

"Toll Is the panacea of many of the ills

boii block yesterday afternoon on "Pro
posed Municipal Reforms, or. Decay of Dem
ocratic Ideas." Mr. Cornish reviewed most
of tho reforms which aro advocated at tho
present time nnd by nlludlng to reforms
of tho past ho showed that changes In social
and political affairs aro not brought about
by Bomo unseen power, but nro worked out
by tho peoplo. He expressed tho belief
thnt tho grcnt masses aro satisfied with a
"government of tho pcoplo and by tho peo
ple," nnd that tho so-called reforms aro
mero ripples which Indlcnto tho current of
thought which Is leading tho government
on toward n greater and purer democracy.
J. Sterling Morton's suggestion that only
taxpayers should voto In maters relating
to tho management of tho business affairs
of cities was mentioned by Mr. Cornish and
ho showed that many Inequalities would
result. Mr. Morton's paper advanced tho
theory that only stockholders voto In the
administration of tho nffalrs of a corpora
tion and urged that only persons having
property interests In a city nnd paying
taxes should vote. Mr. Cornish expressed
the belief that If this plan were adopted
voters should bo nliowed to havo votes
In proportion to tho nmount of taxes thoy
pay, Just as stockholders voto In propor
tion to the nmount of their holdings. In
Mr. Cornish's opinion n property qualifi
cation for voters would only Incrcaso the
strife thero is between classes and would
nrrny tho great taxpayer against tho small
taxpayer. It would placo property above
man nmL the preservation of government
above tho development of citizens.
Believes In Klectlvc System.
"Anothor fcchcmo of reformers Is to In
crease tho number of appointive offices and
decreaso tho number of elective offices,"
said Mr. Cornish. "Tho learned commmlttco
nppolntcd to draft n ochemo for tho con
solidation of city nnd county government
propose to hnvo five citizens named who
shnll havo power to select alt officers neces
sary to conduct tho consolidated govern
ment. The commltteo does not say how
tho flvo men shall bo clocted or appointed.
It simply assumes that men will bo selected
In sonic way for their known ability nnd
probity of character. The nrgument usu
ally advanced In support of tho appointive
system Is that in this way good men will
bci selected who would not enter tho 'mire
of politics.' The argument begs tho ques
tion by assuming that only good men will
bo selected nnd thnt good men will not en
ter or cannot succeed In politics. It may
well bo questioned whether thoy aro good
citizens who do not glvo attention to po
litical affairs. The thing to bo considered
is whether tho appointive or tho elective
system will secure tho fittest men for of
fices." Mr. Cornish urged that tbo vesting of tho
appointment of a largo number of ofneors
In n mayor Is bad for a city government.
Ho snld thot certain men of all parties
who havo Interests at staka conduct cam
paigns along lines which are unknown to
tho mnsses. Tho result Is that tho candi
date for mayor must promise many offices
and his election or defeat decides the re
sult of Issues concerning which the voters
know nothing,
.h on lil Centralize llesponslhlllty.
"Reforms which will bo effective must bo
such that thoy will encodrago tho pcoplo to
greater Volltlchl activity," said Mrl Cor
nish. "Tho head of overy department of a
city government should bo elective. Com
missions or boards should bo replaced by
a Blnglo responsible hend, accountnblo di
rectly to the pcoplo. Tho system of vest
ing tho mayor with the appointment of the
heads of departments underestimates the
ability of tho public to choose its own
officers wisely. It would be well to havo
the legislative branch of tho city govern
ment large. This would encourage dissen
sions and encourago discussion. Tbo wrang
ling ot councllmon calls tho atentlon of the
public to Issues which might otherwise bo
overlooked. The people of a city should be
permitted to mako tholr own charter.
"The plans for reform which I have ad
vocated would mako it easier for tho pub
lic to fix the responsibility tn case of offi
cial misconduct. They would simplify the
Issues In elections and make It possible
for tho peoplo to defeat tho particular offi
cial head who had offended."
