(From a Stsff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April 5. (Special.) Clergy
men, educttori and students gathered In
this city today to participate Id the Ne
braska conference In the Interest of re
ligious education. Th- meeting la being
beld under the auspices of the University
of Nebraska and the Lincoln Pastors' a--aoclatlon.
Persons came In response to
the call from many points throughout the
etate and today entered upon tbelr work
With much enthusiasm. The conference
will conclude lta deliberations tomorrow
evening. Today's sessions v.ero held In
the First Congregational church.
The opening address of the conference
was delivered by Chancellor Andrews, win
began his remarks by saying it was nit
his purpose to anticipate any discussion
that might tak place, but only to outline
some of the thoughts, which, so far as
he could discover, had led the members
to convene. "I take no part In tba Joust;
I am simply the herald, ringing the bell
to give notice that the Joust Is on," de
clared the chancellor. "And let not th a
polemic figure of the 'Joust frighten any.
We are not here to fight, but to reason
together. Further, though we have met to
discuss we have not met to discuss re
ligious doctrine. On the substance mat
ter of that we differ perhaps Ires than
we think, perhaps more."
Tha chancellor thought that however far
apart the members of the conference might
be at certain points the gathering would
certainly be quite illogical were they not
as one In at least the single conviction,
that there is a reality to religion.
Reality of Religion.
"We vary In our statements of that re
ality, both In general and in detail, and
,there may be differences of view touching
tha degree of lta importance," said he,
"but with one vole and heart we main
tain that religion is real, not a chimera.
, not a chance survival from lower stages of
human development. The assumption that
religious teachers have aomethlng yet to
learn regarding the beat modes of inculcat
ing their beliefa involves no admission that
they have hitherto been or are at present
altogether astray. In the nature of the
caae review and revialon of the methods
employed In teaching religion must from
time to time be Imperative.
"A curious and interesting illustration
of this need, showing how religious
nomenclature, at least, must from time
to time be reinterpreted, connects itself
with the theological conception of sov
ereignty, meaning that power legislative
and executive in a government from which
there can be no appeal. In th,e days of
absolute royal sovereignty when men like
Buchanan, Jurieu, Hooker and Hobbes dis
coursed upon this conception, it was easy
to ascribe sovereignty to the Supreme
Being without derogating from blm any
moral attribute. Political sovereignty waa
then almost universally considered to attach
to aome man, a king, or woman, a queen,
who because sovereign, could do no po
litical wrong any more than our supreme
court now can render an illegal decision.
"At present, however, this is changed.
The. intelligent throughout the world
ascribe sovereignty to the total people
and regard it Insufferable for any individ
ual to arrogate this to himself, so that
to ascribe sovereignty to Ood Inevitably
makes most men hate Instead of revere
him, an effect to be obviated only by a
rather severe schooling In the history of
political conceptions."
Slighting of Sunday School.
In conclusion the chancellor said: "The
cessation by so many parents of efforts
to render their children sanely religious
might .have been expected to evoke at
tempts at the betterment of Sabbath school
Instruction. Such attempts are making now,
but, I fear, with Indifferent success. As
this subject will be formally presented at
one of the aesslons, I touch it here only
to deprecate the Inclination of some who
would improve Sabbath school teaching to
ecularlze and Intellectually this, dealing
with dates, authorship, analysis, geography,
criticism, and slighting the moral and re
ligious content of the literature studied.
Information of the sorts named is needed
especially for superintendents and teachers
also for normal classes, which should be
kept up to insure supply of good teachers
but the mere mental apprehension of pre
cious literature and history will never in
terest the masses and would do them little
good, even if It Interested them.
"Two questions of moral moment obtrude
themselves In considering those religious
mustertnga of young people by themselves
which are so fashionable now. First, is it
well that young people should be thus
aharply segregated from their seniors,
forming, as it were, a minor Imperlumr a
synagogue of children, in the religious
communltyT I conceive that many are an
swering this query in the negative and
that few Indeed regard it as undebatable.
"A second inquiry in the premises Is
whether, supposing such segregations not

and Prof. T. Morey Hodgman of Lincoln aa
secretary. The next annual meeting will
be held in April, 1903, the exact time and

Twelve Yeara for Aaaanlt.
P. Coursey Richards was this afternoon
sentenced to twelve years' Inprisonment at
bard labor In the state penitentiary, for
assaulting his 12-year-old stepdaughter.
Marie Magdanlz. The man is 62 years old
and will begin serving his sentence within
the next thirty days. The Jury that found
Richards guUty recommended a light sen
tence, but Judges Holmes took a different j
view of the case. Addressing the prisoner
Judge Holmes said:
In fixing the sentence I have taken into
consideration the recommendation of the
Jury to mercy, at your age, 62 years, and
the fact that this Is probably the last time
you will ever be charged with this effect.
It Is fortunate for you that you live in a
community where the people bide their time
and give the courts the opportunity to
deal with offenders like you. You would
have found cold comfort In the place to
which you fled had they known of your
crime."
Rlcharda cried piteously for mercy and
finally with an upward sweep of his arm
declared, "I never harmed the girl, so help
me Ood."

the meeting waa appointed, consisting of
Coach Booth, Prof. Condra and Superin
tendent Stephens of Beatrice.
A herculean effort will be made to crowd

this score for a number of seasons psst and
this year It is hoped that all such unpleas
antness may be rooted out.
From all prospects ths meet will be onu
of the largest in the history of stats ath

schools will participate.

STIGER &
OMAHA IS STATE CHAMPION
Defeats Lincoln at Basket Ball, Thirty
rive to Twelve.
UNPLEASANT INCIDENTS MAR THE MATCH
Differences Over Rnllna;a of Officials
Develop Into Ronajh Work, and
Hanson la Disqualified
for Slossln;.
The Omaha Young Men'a Christian asso
ciation basket ball team definitely settled
lta superiority over the men from the Lin
coln association last night by defeating the
visitors In the local gymnasium by a acore
of 35 to 12. This is the third game these
teams have played this season and rivalry
has been intense from the start, growing
keener after each contest. Omaha won
the first game here by a score of 27 to 19.
Then the Omaha team went to Lincoln and
was defeated by a large acore. Now Omaha
has won the third game carrying the state
championship.
Unpleasant incidents marred last night's
match. Because of differences over rulings
of the officials, rivalry developed into ani
mosity and aome rough work was done on
both aides. Finally In the second half
Hanson, center for the Omaha team, was
disqualified for slugging and McElmeel put
In his place. .Fouls for rough play were
called several times.
The Lincoln team was greatly crippled
by the absence of its former captain, W.
E. Andresen,- who has left the game re
cently. He la a wonderful forward, and
though his successor. Woods, is a good man,
he has not the experience behind him that
Andresen bad. Each half was greatly in
the Omana boys' favor.
Captain Jardeen and Osborne were th
star offensive players for Omaha, throwing
four field goals each. Jardeen, too, though
he had a bad ankle, was the strongest de
fensive player of his team. For Lincoln no
one loomed up prominently. The visitors
were plainly not on thetr gam. Omaha
made sixteen points in the first half; Lin
coln, five. In the second Omaha scored
nineteen more; Lincoln, seven.
As preliminary games the second local
association team defeated the working
men's team by 12 to 10 in one flfteen-mlnuta
halt and then lost to tba Omaha High
school team by a score of to 6 la another
half. A good crowd witnessed the con
tests. The lineup and summary of the

head and a rifle lying near blm. From
the evidence obtained the coroner'a Jury
pronounced it a case of suicide.
Mr. Mosiman was 40 yeara of age and
wss a highly respected citizen. He was a
