tt was under some difficulties that Rev.
ftobert Karr Eccles began his paatorate of
(ha Bastiet church. Twenty-fourth and Bln
ney streets, Sunday morning. Ha arrived
last Friday from his former home In Bow
ling Green, O., shout which city oil well
derricks tower as numerously as chimney
pots In London, and ba waa In a mood to
praise the clear, invigorating Nebraska at
mosphere, hut It unluckily happened that
something had gone wrong with the furnace
and the church was so full of gas that the
aacked congregation waa all but In tears
from coughing and its newly arrived pastor
avaa partially obscured by the haie.
Ia beginning his sermonj which waa abort,
fte announced himself as old-fashioned
enough to preach from text, and he read
from the elxteenth verse of the second
banter of the eplatlea to the Romans.
Preaches from tha Book.
''According to my gospel," he quoted. "My
Eos pel, my friends, directs that I read from
ed's book and preach from what I read
therein. I trust that your goapel and mine
tnay ba ia harmony. We each have a goapel,
Undoubtedly, for Just as each man must
bare a Christ for himself, so each man
must have a gospel for himself. There la
pot an eye that can look out upon aome
distant scene and see It Just as another
aye would Btlll, the same general Impres
sion may be had and the principle of per
sonal . equation enters Into these spiritual
lews to Justify each man in saying 'my
gospel.' .
"I have wondered If my gospel would
ult my new environment, which seems so
pleasant. I will only say of It that it Is
founded on the word of Ood. I am not a
Bpencerlan, nor a Darwinian. I accept large
Information from all these sources, but my
anly rule of conduot is the book, and If
there were 10,000 evidences against some
thing clearly taught between Its covers I
would say with the apostle: 'Let all men
fee liars, God Is truth.' My gospel holds
that nearly nil men are wrong and only
a few accidentally good that men, If let
alone go (wrong; go to weeda Just aa the
grounds otf your beautiful exposition has
alone since abandoned and neglected.
Place Itself Within Reach.
"But mine Is a practical gospel and It
goes tight down to a level with sinners
that It may be taken hold of by them and
helped up. In the aluma it doea more
good than a whole posse of constables and
It helps whom It saves, not only spiritually
tmt physically. I remember once when I
waa a boy In the north of Ireland, a black
smith was converted by meetings which
arere bedng held in his shop, because no
!etter plaoe waa then available, and the
giext day he appeared upon the street, so
Cleansed in face, aa well aa In heart, that
J did not recognise him. It was a healthy
gospel that he had.
"I notice that Buddhism Is beginning to
e preached In this country. The religion
Cf Buddha like the religion of Confucius
Incorporates excellent principles, but they
remind me of a man who stood upon a
fclgh bluff and ahoutad to a man who was
drowning In a atream far below him to
coma up and he would aave him. My goapel
would be to throw him the rope whereby
lie might make the ascent. It is practical
and tt la what I hope to promulgate, trust
ing that It will suit In this, my new home."
CHRISTIANS HAVE ALL. THINGS.
Jttev. Aaderaoa Says They Are More
Thaa Billionaires.
A Glorious Inheritance" waa the theme
or the morning sermon of Rev. Thomas
iAnderson at Calvary Baptist church 8unday
taornlng. The twenty-Brut verae of chapter
three of Paul's first letter to the Phllllplans
furnished the text In these four words:
"All things are yours." Rev. Mr. Anderson
paid In part;
"This Is a rich text, one of the mountain
texts of the bible. It la inexhaustible in
the Inventory of a Christian's wealth which
It presents and It suggeata an oceanic
theme, defying all attempts of the preacher
to confine it to any one phase.
"The very poorest Christian la now a
billionaire, and more, for that falls' to ex
press It. He Is the heir of the ages. All
Chat la past Is bis. All things present and
to come are his. We talk of gaining the
world and loalng one's soul, but the Chris
tian gains' the world at the time when he
finds his soul.
"The Inventory of a Christian's wealth
may not promise much to you at flrat
glance, hut open It up and you realise mors
and mora how vast It la. First tt embracea
all religious teachings. .. No person or claaa
haa any monopoly on clear discernment In
these matters. , Let us take them all. We
must not confine ourselves to one truth,
hutting our eyes and stopping our ears to
others. 1 am not a latttudlnarlan; I do
not believe that the truths of all churches
are equally good nor that it Is Just as well
not to belong to a church at all. ' But
neither do I believe that the Baptist church
lias all the truths In Us teachings.
"Again, the world la oura. We may have
nothing, but still possess all thtnga. Nature
and tta beauties are Ood's and for God's
people, The. mountains, the valleys, the
river, all are oura.
"Ufa, too, Is ours, and all that is In It.
Ood was not a Puritan In the sense tn which
that term Is understood often. There Is
nothing of life that he does not wish ' u,
' to enjoy. Ood's life extends beyond the
pi ritual.
"Last of all, dsata la oura. Tha death
We dread la not to be dreaded by Christiana,
for tt Is theirs, a portion of the Inheritance,
'tha last Item of tha Inventory, and em
bracing all the promlae of the phraae 'and
things to com,.' "
vroasTiTiox, belief or faith.
J&ewMaaaa af Llaeela Telia What Ha
Believes Each la.
Rev. W. H. Manaa of Lincoln preached
a St. Mary's Avenue Congregational
church Sunday morning, the sermon being
. ths third of a series. Hs took for his
theme, "Superstition, Belief or Faith,
baaed oa the text from tha forty-eighth
verse of the fourth chapter of John, "And
Jeans answered and said unto them, unless
ye see signs and wonders ye will not be
Have," '
The speaker defined superstition as aa
Ignorant fear of what la mysterious, founded
em. Irrational belief a Superstition held
nch sway over the people of ancient times,
ba stated, that they believed that slekness
was sin or wss a visitation of God's wrath
' tipoa tha wicked. At that time the science
cf medicine was not recognised. 8tckneas
was aocspted as sin and no Inveatlgatlons
were permitted. When a man was sick
the priest was called to cleanae him of the
la. It begot a religion that made men
tremble for the Individual salvation. 8u
perstltlon takes away the will power. It
destroy, energy and makes some men
. inenlala and others masters.
"Belief," the cpeaker said, "was aa In
- tellectual assert, aa adherence to a bis.
torlcal testimony. A man may believe that
God la the creator, and yet not believe in
Him as a Savior. Belief doea not call for
a personal Ood mora than doea the heathen
worship. It makes It a matter of Intel
lectual acceptance and then finds fault
because we cannot all believe alike.
"Faith la a much almpler matter than
these," said the speaker, "It Is an act of
trust. Faith la personal and belongs to
the whole man and not a part. Faith takes
Ood's Interests and applies them to so
ciety as the full expression of man. Faith
in God Is love and faith will not atop until
thia love and righteousness is a part of the
character of men. It is an organising fores
and Impel to action, urging until It attains."
JEKKI TALKS OF THE BEST ROBE,
Explains Its Application la the Para
ble of tha Proalaal-
At the First Presbyterian church Sun
day morning the pastor. Rev. Edwin Hart
Jenks, preached from the theme, "The Best
Robe," being a text from the fifteenth chap
ter of the gospel according to St. Luke,
which tells the story of the prodigal son's
return.
"Jesus cited this parable," said the pas
tor, "to appease some of his apostles, who
had murmured because he received sinners
and ate with them. The tendency Is to
show how natural It Is for a father to re
joice because of the return of a son sup
posed to be lost. Love endures forever,
and follow. Its object to the end of the
chapter. Hope may fall, faith may fall, but
love la everlasting. We cannot always tell
why we love another. There comes a swell
ing of the heart, and one feels that all hla
Ideals and purposes of life have been
changed but he doesn't know . why ha
should be drawn so Irresistibly toward that
one particular mortal out of all tha others
In the world. Bring forth the best robe
and put It on him. What Is the mesnlng
of the robeT It means that he Is a son
again; that be who was dead la alive."
ABOUT MRS. HOUGHTON'S COW
o Mach Lea-al Proceeding Over
Bovine that She ie Name
"Litigation."
Judge Vlnsonhaler of the county court la
about to be called upon to decide who owns
the cow that Mra. Emma D. Houghton of
2413 Capitol avenue had before John W.
Cooper and Justice of the Peace Foster at
tsched It.
To those unfamiliar with the cow's his
tory there Is nothing extraordinary about
her. Her waist measure Is about the same
as other cows', her manicuring Is nothing
to boast of and It has even been suspected
thst she Is knock-kneed. But her name Is
"Litigation" and ahe has been responsible
for all kinds of legal papers being served
within the last few weeks.
The trouble, it Is said, atarted when Mrs.
Houghton stumbled over a brace at the
carnival grounds during the last Ak-Sar-Ben
festivities. Foster and Cooper, who
were boarding at her home, undertook to
get damages for her by mean, of the usual
legal negotiations with the city. The city
went to the Ak-Sar-Ben managers. And
ths Ak-8ar-Ben managers went straight to
Mrs. Houghton. But of this latter fact, the
attorneys say they were not made cognis
ant. They grew suspicious only when some
new furniture arrived at ths Houghton
home Then they, too, went to their land
lady. They wished to know If the matter
had been compromised without their sanc
tion and Mrs. Houghton told them that ahe
had $300 caah, as an evidence of the ac
curacy of their gueaa. They suggested that
attorneys do not negotiate for nothing, and
she tuggeeted that the - weather was as
profitable a toplo of conversation, as they
could take up at that particular time. '
The men of law felt , piqued, went into
court and when she confessed judgment In
the sum of $125, they sent a constable clear
out to the county line to waylay a man who
was bringing Mrs. Houghton's cow home
from a visit with relatives In Washington
county. The coaatable attached the cow
for the amount of the fees alleged to be
due Foster and Cooper. But Mrs. Houghton
haa a daughter, Essie, who knows a thing
or two or three herself, and she claimed
the cow as her own, and succeeded In re
plevying It The meek-eyed dairy, ad
Junct is back In Washington county again
and the title to her Is what Judge Vlnson
haler !a to decide.
But that la net the end of the litigation
Foster end Cooper hsve alao Instituted
suit against Walter Jardlne, aa a member
of the Ak-Sar-Ben board, alleging that he
owes them damages in the sum of $:
for inducing Mrs. Houghton to break her
nominal contract wtth them. This also Is
to come before the county Judge for set
tlement.
M'CARTHY BUYS THE DRINKS
Costs Him Seventeen Dellars ta
Sqnare Joke . Bpraaar ... la
Variety Theater.
Eugene McCarthy has been making money
out In Wyoming and oame to Omaha the
other day with a willingness to spend some
of It. He got the opportunity sooner than
he expected. Out around Caaper, where
he comes from, it Is correct form to buy
a drluk every time your same is spoken, and
It becomes second nature to. a well-to-do
sheep man to apeak up promptly on auch
occaalona.
McCarthy went to a local theater,, where
a pair of Irish comedians were earning
their bread end pretsela by the sweat of
their Jawa. One of them waa auppoaed to
be named McCarthy, but the real McCarthy
out In front didn't know that. Neither did
be know that the other member of the team
says ths same old thljvgs night after night
Finally, this comedian, following bis ached
ule, waved his hsnd before him and
shouted: "McCarthy, the drinks ara oa
you!"
Tha man from Wyoming was on hla feet
before he bad time to think what he
was about, and called back:
"I don't know yes, but if they're on me
I'll buy thlml What will yes taker
When McCarthy got back ' to the Mer
chants' hotel that night it cost him Just a
little over $17, to prove to his friends that
he fully appreciated that the Joke was on
him.
Mr. McCarthy, It may be related In
cldentally, went to Casper eight years ago
without a thing on earth, but an unpleasan
memory of Cincinnati. Today hs owns
10,000 sheep and a bank account that la lusty

WIH Ba One af Permanent DormU
torlea After Other Straetarea
Ara Completed.
A contract for the construction of the
Presbyterian semlnsry probably will be let
thla week, and work will be atarted by
April 1. The building to be constructed
this spring will be 60x150 feet in area, three
stories high. It Is Intended to be one of the
permanent dormltorlea, but until the other
buildings can be erected It will be used
for the semlnsry proper. The first floor
will for the present contain the class, study
and lecture rooms. Ths second and third
floors will be prepared for dormitories.
The ground secured by the seminary con
tains about five acrea bounded by Twenty-
first, Twenty-second, Spencer and Emmet
streets. The building fo'r which plans are
now prepared will face Emmet street. The
general plan of the grounds contemplates
the erection of three other buildings of the
size of the first one. The permanent publlo
building, containing the lecture rooms, class
rooms and study rooms will face Twenty
first street. Facing Spencer street will
be another dormitory, while a library build
ing will faoe Twenty-second street Be
tween the library building and the dormi
tories will be six or eight cottages, the
dwelling of the teachers at the seminary.
In the center of the tract, aurrounded by the
aeveral buildings, will be a qusdrangle or
court, containing an acre or' more, which
will Insure sufficient light and air tor each
building.
The completion of the plan of the man
agers of the seminary dependa upon the
recelpta of the institution from ordinary
sources and the liberality of Ita friends.
It Is said that as soon as the Institution
Is In Its new quartera there will be nearly
twice as many pupil. In the classes aa
there are now. The faculty hopes to bs
able to open the fall term of school In the
new building.
Amusements.
At the Boyd.
Not since the days of the opera "H. M. S.
Pinafore," haa there a company of Juvenile
theatrical performers been seen In Omaha
until Sunday afternoon, when Pollard's Au
stralian Juvenile Opera company opened an
engagement at Boyd's theater, presenting
The Gaiety Girl," a two-act musical
comedy. The company numbers thirty-eight
children. Thirty-two of whom are girl,
and six boys, ranging In age f rom 7 to IS
years. Eight of these are Mr. Pollard's
own children, each of which appears In a
leading role. The children are all talented
and aside from the novelty of the attraction
It Is really deserving of praise for Its merit
as a pleasing entertainment, as would
naturally be expected of actor, and ac
tresses of such tender yeara, the young
sters are a trifle shy on histrionic ability,
although the comedy portion of the play is
well sustained. The children are all Au
stralian born and speak with a broad Eng
lish accent, which at tlmea la a trifle hard
to understand, but not so much so as to be
annoying.
The ' ensemble work is quite remarkable
the choruses being praiseworthy for both
strength and harmony. Daphne Pollard, -a
mite of T, Is ths distinctive hit of the piece.
She enacts the comedy role of Corporal
Lance, and there Is not a minute while
she-Is on the state, that the audience Is
not kept In an uproar of laughter. The
Interpolation of a little French song by her
In the second art won a half dosen encores.
and she was forced to repeat a little dance,
which she did, a like number of tlmea.
Willie Pollard a lad of 12, won considerable
applause for his clever comedy work In the
part of Chaplain Brlerly. Hla make up and
facial expressions would do credit to many
comedlana much hla senior. The Major
Barclay of Willie Thomas, a 10-year-old, waa
both amusing and pralaeworthy. Madge
Woodeon, a tiny tot, wore the clothes and
dignified air of a granse dame In the part
of Lady Virginia Forrest. Alice, Connie
and Ivy Pollard, all have good singing
voices and all were given an opportunity
to display their ability In aolo numbera.
Monday and Tueaday night "The Maacotte"
111 be the offering. Monday afternoon
there will be a special matinee of "The
Geisha" and the engagement will cloae
Wednesday night with the same piece.
At the Ornheam.
The Orpheum furnishes a vaudeville en
tertainment thla week that la well worth
aeelng. The program la widely diversified
and there Is not an act among the eight of
which It Is made up but possesses some
meritorious feature. Marie Walnwrlght,
the well-known actress, head, the bill
with a one-act play by Theodore Kramer,
entitled, "The Lady and the Clock." It la
an episode supposed to have occurred In
the time of Cromwell's Invasion of Ireland
and while It does not give Miss Wain
wright the opportunity to display bar talent
that one might wlah It will pleaae the aver
age vaudeville audience much better than
a more artlstlo one. Wenona and Frank

BANQUET TO COLONEL WILSON
rrleads af Retlrta Army Officer Olva
Him Barnrtae at Omaha
Clan.
Ssturday evening at the Omaha club a
number of frlenda gave Colonel David B.
Wilson. V. 8. A., who will retire under
the age limit Wednesdsy, a surprise In
ths way of a complimentary banquet. About
dosen of his Intimate associates In civil
and military life assembled at the club and
brought the colonel Into the dining room
under false pretence. After the feast, O. C.
Redlck, as spokesman for the banqueters,
presented the colonel with a loving cup of
liver, upon which aa handlea are mounted
the horna of a buck aktllfully done In the
same metal. Several ahort talka were
made, to which the colonel responded In a
happy vein.
Colonel Wilson has been stationed at
Omaha for more than a year. He came as
chief commlseary of tha Department of the
Missouri and remained In that position
until Major Nlskern was assigned to that
duty, when he became Inspector general.
Colonel Wilson Is now lieutenant colonel
of the Twenty-fifth regiment, an organiza
tion with which he has been Identified
since its organization. He entered the army
from civil life during the civil war. He
has a record for seniority which Is hard to
equal. For a doien year he was the senior
flrst-lleutenant of the army, ten years of
which he was adjutant of the regiment.
Then followed almost as many yeara when
he was senior captain.' The Spanish war
made advancement more rapid and he was
major for only a comparatively short
time, having been made lieutenant colonel
alnce his arrival In this department. Dur
ing the Spanish war hs waa detailed to duty
In the commissary department, which posi
tion he retained until recently.
Colonel Wilson Is the principal owner of
a state bank at Laurel, Neb., and owns a
large tract of land la the same county,
which has been divided into farms. He
will reside in Sioux City, whloh Is only a
few miles from his Nebraska property, and
has secured a home at Eleventh and Pierce
streets In that city to which he will remove
In a week or two.
RUMORS OF. LABOR TROUBLE

Rumors of trouble between tha Hod Car
riers' union and the contractors for the
new Union Pacific shops have been heard
in labor clrclea for a dav or two and it
has been said that It might culminate tn
strike of the bulldlnr trades. A memhnr
of the Bricklayers' union, the one mnat
directly Interested aside from the hod ear
ners, said:
The trouble originates over something
outside of the control of the unions and it
seems difficult to see how the bricklayers
can do involved, even though the hod car
riers should not secure their . demands.
From what I can understand, the terms of
the contract between the railroad and the
contractors provide that the railroad com
pany shall furnish all of the unskilled law
required, paying thla labor and receiving
creait upon . the amount Involved In the
contract. It Is now said that the company
will uae thia unskilled labor to do the work
usually done by ' the hod carriers and
plasterers' and bricklayers' helpers.
I do not think that tha Ttrirlrl.v.va
union, under these circumstances, csn afford
to make trouble . for the contraptnr whn

Major John Mtlsap, general secretary of
the Salvation army for Iowa and Nebraska.
who recently returned from the Philippine

"That which Impresses me most In con

valuable reaults of Salvation army work
there, la the view-, so many psople take
of the attitude of the American govern
ment In the Philippines. Of course, I am
oppoaed to wars among nations, but I must
say the policy of the United States there
Is deserving of support and approval of
all men. The forbearance of the American
soldiers with respect to the Filipinos dur
ing the trying and exciting scenes attend
ing the capture of Manila and afterward
excited my admiration and respect. The
situation was for a long time not generally
accurately understood, but since then the
country haa become Informed In detail of
the conditions obtaining there and the dif
ficulties attending tha establishment of gen
eral peace. Time is aa important element
In problems of this kind, where Ignorance
ao generally prevails. I believe thla gov

recognise this fact, and also thst their

It was and will Improve aa time goes by."
BIG WEEK FOR THE JOBBERS
Secretary Vtt Bare All Records Ware
Broken Darin Last Biz
Pays.
Last week waa a record breaker In the
history of the wholesale markets of Omaha.
The last of the spring excursions of the
Jobbers' association was on In full blaat
and buyers came from every state and terri
tory between the Mississippi river and the
Rocky mountains north of Arkanaas. John
E. Utt, aecretary of the association, said:
"If thla crowd had come a year ago we
could not have handled It. There would
not have been material enough la the city
to have supplied the demand. Buyera who
have patronised Chicago and St. Louis ex
clusively In yesrs past have come to Omaha
and purchased their entire line. The work
of the Joint agent of the railroads here
shows that during the week more people
came than during two weeks laat year, and
these psople were all buyera Many stopped
over last year on their return from Chi
cago to aee what Omaha bad to offer. This
year theae same persons came to buy , In
thla city.
"It la impossible to estimate the total
business done by the different Jobbers dur
ing the week, as many purchasers did not
come near the secretary of the association.
but It is safe to say that the total was In
exceaa of any two weeks ever experienced

Political Interest Oeoters In the Republican
City Ticket.
SHORT SKETCHES OF THE CANDIDATES
.
Blda for Boada to Be Received at Ta
alcht'a Coaaell Meeting Soeeeeaor
ta Rav. Wheeler aa tha
Library Board.
Most of the candidates nominated by the
republican convention Saturday are too
well known to need any Introduction to the
general public. However, a ahort sketch
msy be Interesting to those who have lived
ia South Omaha only a short time.
Frank Koutsky, the candidate for mayor,
was born on a farm about thirty-five milee
west of this city, and It Is asserted that
he haa never been out of the state. When
Ed Johnston was mayor Mr. Koutsky served
a term In the city council. Ho wss en
gaged In the hardware bualneaa until two
years ago, when he was selected city treas
urer. Mr. Koutsky has been a resident of
the Msglc City since 1887.
Edward L. Howe, candidate for city treas
urer, haa been until recently employed In
a responsible position with the Hammond
Packing company, but for several months
he haa devoted almost his entire time to
looking after his private affairs.
Joseph F. McCaffrey, nominated for city
clerk, haa been a realdent of the city for
about a year. He Is engaged In business
on Twenty-fourth street. Since coming to
South Omaha Mr. McCaffrey has taken
quite an Intereat In local politics.
A. H. Murdock, candidate for city attor
ney. Is an old-timer and really needs no

Conncll Meetlna; Tonlaht. . -
An adjourned meeting of the city council
Is billed for tonight, when It Is expected
that blda for the renewal of $140,000 tn
bonds will be received. These bonds, which
the city expects to renew at this time, do
not mature until 1916. The ordinance au
thorizing the Isaue provides for interest
at the rate of S per cent, the same the
bonds are now drawing. Johnston, who has
so far engineered the deal, aaya the city
can now aecure a premium of about 12,000
by a renewal and, therefore, he favors the
proposition. The sum of money, If avail
able now, Mf. Johnston asserts, would as
sist greatly in paying current obligations
and would tend to reduce the overlap wnicn
la Inevitable. From the number of Inquiries
made about these bonds tt is predicted that
the bidding will be lively.

MAY CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY
Project ta Mark tha Twenty. Fifth
Year at Pahlle Library's
- Fxletence.
At the laat meeting of the library board
the queatloa was brought up of a celebration
to mark the twenty-fifth annlreraary of the
founding of the Omaha Public library as a
city Institution. For some yesrs previous
to 1877 a subscription library had been
maintained In the city by a private associa
tion, and the state legislature that year
passed a law enabling the city to take the
management of the affair under municipal
control. Thla wss done In August of thst
year.
The matter went no further than a sug
gestion at the last meeting, but It waa
agreed that the occasion should be used
to bring the people Into closer touch with
the institution and that a reception might
be held at the building during one or two
days, when visitors would be shown through
the library and be made acquainted with Its
work and treasures.
The Nebraska State Library association
ill hold Its next meeting In Omaha, and
a member of the board ssld that the two
events could probably be united, tbe cele
bration of the quarter-centenary being
made coincident with the meeting of the
atate organisation. This could easily be
done, as during the months of June, July
and August occur anniversaries of three
steps taken In the organization of the
library as a public Institution, anyone of
which could be observed. In this case all
llntereeted in library work In the states
of Nebraska and Iowa would be invited anil
the occasion would take on more than local
Importance.
