Jsnks Take, "flew Th Sun" for Tsit REVELATIONS NOW CALLED DISCOVERIES Preacher Says Prmrria of the Modern World la the Old Fact of the Revelation of God's I'owrr, At the First Presbyterian church Sunday morning the pastor. Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks, preached on the subject of "Old Faith and tew Lights," taking his text from the words of Rr.lomon, "There Is no new thing under the sun." The speaker said In part: "If there Is anything we boast of today It la our progress; we glorify the things we do today, and while we admit that we are following men who hare gone before we pride ourselves In the thought that com pared with them we have adranced won derfully. The words of Solomon come aa a hock to us, and we say that If he had lived In the day of the automobile and the wireless telegTaph he vetuld haT changed hlB mind. These things are the fashions of mankind and of fashions probably Sol omon saw something new, but he was prob ably not talking of fashions, but of deeper things, when he spoke. As the engineers who eurreyed the1 first railroad from the Missouri yalley to the Pacific ocean fol J owed the trails of the buffalo and the deer through the passes of the mountains, where the Indians had trod, so do we ad Vance along old lines. The engine now passes along the trail, but the eternal peaks re unchanged. We can yet learn of our lathers far In the past. It Is along the old paths that our feet are following today. The scenes change, classes of people come and go, but humanity Is the same. The centuries gather close, and In the yearnings of humanity there Is nothing new under the sun. I am not against the new things 'of today I am for them, but because a thing Is old It does not means that It has outlived Its usefulness that It Is ante dated. "We are glorifying the discovered today, and we did It In the days of Solomon. Then we called It revelation. .Today we call It discovery. The words mean the same thing All things that make for progress are of Interest to God. Do you think that H 'told all men to preach the gospel to all creatures and that He does not take a hand in preparing the means necessary for carry ing the preachers Into all lands; that He gave the command to preach and has nothing to do with the invention of the steamboat and the locomotive? New terms have come to our Hps and for a time have concealed the old facts. We speak of the 'survival of the fittest' as a comparatively new idea, and we apply It to nations and peoples, saying that unless they accept our civilization they must become extinct, but when pre destination Is mentioned we say that It la an antiquated doctrine. It la the same old thing that we have heard from the beginning. We speak of the continuity ot Jaw of laws applicable to the spiritual as well as to the physical world. In the older flays we called that Ood recognizing that God worked by laws and observed them In both the spiritual and physical world. Why cannot we accept the theory of evolution? Evolution Is a process, not a conclusion "Whether we call it evolution or God it is the same thing. We have coined new terms, but the old facta remain." SHOVLD DO VOIR OWN THINKING Treacher Sara Men "hould Not Follow Leaders Blindly. "Think on These Things" was the text from which Rev. Robert E. Lee Craig preached at Trinity cathedral yesterday morning, and the lesson which he drew from those words was that all men should do their own thinking. The history of the world in all ages, he said, had presented leaders, suen of marked strength of character, whose examples, precepts and teachings had been followed, and It waa ot the nature of thlnea that this should be so, but one should not absorb the teachings of others as a sponge knd squeeze them out again without as similation, no matter how great and good those teachings may be. Too great a pro portion of humanity, he said. Is prone to let ethers do the thinking and to follow the ex ample and accept the Ideas of others un questlonlngly. In failure to exercise the bower of thought and reason Is forfeited the greatest privilege of man In the high est sense of that term, and the man then becomes aa the lower animals. The teach Ingfl of the newsnaoer editor, or nr the nn fltlcal leader, or even of the church, should not, he said, be accepted without beln arefully welched and given due consider. tlon. The opinions and Ideas of others, he saia, should be used as a stimulus or. ner baps, In a measure as a guide to individual thought. Finally, he urged his hearers to turn their thoughts to those things which are eternal and not allow themselves to become entirely absorbed In the things wnicn are ephemeral. WOMEN AND MOI1RKN PROGRESS, W , , m . . " 17 a Drrmon Buoject at r Ira Baptist Church. i Sunday was woman's day at the First Baptlat church and a congregation that filled every seat in the bouse was present to hear Rev. J. W. Conley talk of "Women and Modern Progress." For the occasion the church was decorated with cut flowers. In the course of his sermon, which bad for Its text the parable of the leaven, Dr Conley spoke of the hardships being en dured by the wives and daughters of the striking miners of Pennsylvania and of th miserable homes In which they dwelt. believe the American people are able to pay enough for coal to furnish these mln ers with house In which to live, and t top their wives and daughters from llvln In drudgery," he said, "and I believe th great masa of the American people sym pathiio with these miners and are with them In their strike." Dr. Conley began his discourse by an Bouncing that he had no sympathy with those speakera who poured out flattery to women, and denounced this practice as this veneering to cover the conceit of man "Man U superior to woman in some things MONEY-SAVING DRUG PRICES 5o Bromo Quinine o Qulnacetol, beat for colds 6o Carters Liver Pills toe Custorla. genuine 11.00 Cramer's Kidney Cure poo Klil-ne-olila $3.60 Marvel Whirling Spray Syringe' t6c Mermen's Talcum Powder Cake Jap lu 8oap Cake English Fro.ni Soap tuc Possonl Face Puwdr $1.60 Imperial Hair Regenerator .... il.OO Kilmers 6wamp-Koot 1. 00 Temptation Tonic 100 Vine of Cardul 100 Prruna . 12c . 2uo . iOc .

"Spiritual forces," said Df. Conley, must have agencies for moral upbuilding. Ot these forces the three moat Important re the borne, the school and the church. 'pon the purity of the home depends the urlty of the government. The decline of ome life means the degradation of the atlona) life. Woman determines the char- cter of the borne life." In our public schools, Rev. Conley aald, majority of the teachers are women and the schools are closely watched by the mothers of the country. He deplored the fact that politics and favoritism entered nto the selection of Instructors and urged that women rectify the evil. "All perma nent progress depends on moral charac- er," raid be. "and the great progress and he great success of our country Is largelr due to the Influence of lt women." AT PLYMOUTH CONGREGATION A L. Rev. A.

CARNIVAL CROWD INCREASES Bandar Tralna Bring- Manr Visitors from Nebraska and Iowa Towns. t King Ak-Sar-Ben will open bis eyes upon vaster throngs this morning than passed before his royal vision Saturday, when dense masses crowded into bis imperial court to witness the many wonderful sight within. Men at the three Omaha depots who are handling the crowda predict an un usually large tide ot Immigration this morn ing aud throughout the day. The Sabbath day did not usher into the city exceptionally large numbers, although several hundred people filed through the depot gates. The most came from the west, from Nebraska towns, and some ar rived from the eastern towns of Iowa, from which section goodly numbers are expected later. Aside from the new arrivals hundreds of visitors who came 'in last week helped to fill up the space at the. depots yesterday. They were there to meet and greet their friends and "relations" who were either coming or expected and when they really did get In all the passageways suddenly hoked up, for everybody had to say howdy" to everybody else and shake each others hands. These were typical county fair crowds, and they constituted genuine reception committees who bad gone to the stations to "see the others in." Of course some of the excursionists who had come la last week had to get back and so there waa a small exodus yesterday, but not enough to hurt or be noticeable when the summing up Is over this morning. Con ditions are certainly bright tor a big, lively, strenuous crowd of people today. The Proper Treatment for Sprained Ankle.

General Westers Agent MACHINISTS' BOARD MEETING Will E Etld in Washingtei to Osnider Union Faoifio Trotble. TO PROVIDE AID FOR THE STRIKERS Loral Financial Board Meets with Saeeeas In Ita Work and No Seri ous Shortage of Panda Is Anticipated. Leaders of the Union Pacific strike have been advised of a special meeting of the general executive board of the Interna tional Association of Machinists to con vene today In Washington, D. C, chiefly for consideration of the interests of the ma chinists engaged in the struggle here. Fi nancial and other Important matters In cident to the strike will be dealt with. Some new policies as to the conduct of the machinists' end of the fight possibly will be decided on. This board Is composed of five members. together with President James O'Connell of the order, who Is chairman ex-officio. It has supreme jurisdiction over all labor troubles affecting the members of the or der and within its province lies the func tion of providing ways and means for financial support. The funds originally ap propriated by the general board for this strike here have been exhausted, and while the constitution of the order does not pro vide for additional payments from the reaeury, the general executive board can authorize additional funds, and, according to Vice Presidents Conlon and Mulbery, will do so In this csbo. "Our order never shuts down on money so long as there Is a strike on," said Mr. Mulbery. "Wo have ample funds and they will be generously but Judiciously distributed for the aid of the machinists engkged In the struggle with Mr. Burt." The strikers say they are not stinted in financial resources and have not been, but It requires diligent work1 to keep from being. The federated board, composed of representatives from the blacksmiths, bollermakers and machinists, which is tak- ng care of the local end of the money fight, bas received up to date $5,000. All but $1,000 of this amount has been obtained from Omaha unions and friends of the strikers. Sixty unions have made contribu tions. Most of them make contingent dona tions. Conditions Are Encouraging-. Aside from this $5,000, greater support has been received through a system of soliciting from unions in other cities and states. The present financial status, while not sufficient to Justify anything but the most persistent efforts, is said to be very encouraging. The strikers say their con ditions, as a rule, are such as to warrant them In proceeding with a longer siege, even though it may extend through the winter. 'There will always be one recourse left us," said a prominent striker yesterday. "If any of us find we are being crowded to the wall for the lack ot money we can go somewhere and go to work. There Is abundant work for us all and we can get It any day we want to." An agent from tho Soo road arrived in the city yesterday to get eight machinists and five bollermakers to go to work for the Lowry company at Minneapolis. He offers 31 cents an hour, whereas the same shops, two years ago, paid but 25 cents an hour. The agent Informs strikers that his company has been unable to get the char acter of mechanics It wanted In other cities where no strike is in progress, notwith standing the fact that scores of men are being Imported f rom fvarious points by the Union Paclflo as strike breakers. It is probable the Soo man will get his order filled here, as there are machinists and bollermakers who are willing to go and can be spared by their comrades. An Error.

In the ad. BOHEMIAN SOCIETY JUBILEE Zapadnl Ceako Bratrska Jednota Cele brates Ita Twenty-Fifth Anniversary. Omaha lodge of Zapadnl Ceako Bratrska Jednota observed the twenty-fifth anniver sary of Ita organization yesterday and the occasion was a notable one among the Bo hemian residents of this city and South Omaha. The Z. C. B. J., as it Is generally known, is the Bohemian fraternal order formerly called C. S. P. S. and extends throughout the west, with lodges as far east as Chicago. In the celebration of yesterday the lodges of South Omaha Jotned en masse, and mem bers of the order were present from a number of places farther distant, there being severs! South Dakota towns repre sented and one member here from Whar ton, Kas., beside a number from different parts ot this state. Upon the arrival of the South Omaha lodges in this city about 2 o'clock they Joined the Omaha lodges at Thirteenth and William street and from there marched in processional order to the new Bohemian Turner hall on Thirteenth near Dorcas, where the exerclees were held. The vari ous societies constituted a parade of nearly 1,000 men, the South Omaha delegation numbering about SOO. R. Havlka officiated as marshal of the procession. At the Turner hall Cbarlea Stiger, presi dent of the society, made an address of welcome In the Bohemian language to the visiting societies and members from out side, sfter which he introduced the ora tor ot the day, William Sadllek, now of Wilbur, Neb., but formerly a resident of Omaha and one ot the founders of the so riety. Mr. Sadllek, who also spoke In Bohemian, reviewed the history of the society from the time of ita organization with a membership of ten to the present time. Judge Berks spoke in English, covering about the same ground as Mr. Sadllek, and John Roslcky, who la the only one of the present members of the society who par ticipated tn Its organization, spoke of some of the vicissitudes through which It bas passed In It quarter-century of existence. Music was furnished by an orchestra under the leadership ot Alois Koryeko and the singing society of the Tel Jed Sokol sang several selections. In the evening "Karel Havltcek Borov sky," a Bohemian play of historical and patriotic character by F. P. Sanberk. was presented under the direction of F. Band hauer, and the entertainment closed with dancing. A Man Badly Injured. Or painfully hurt, burned, bruised or wounded gets quick comfort from Bucklen a Arnica) ( Salve. It conquers pain. 25c.

Sept. 28 To the Editor of the Bee: Will you kindly allow me to suggest a thought tor your consideration? Direct legislation t coming, not only for city governments, but for stste as well. Four states have already declared for It, and four others are soon to adopt It. The campaign In Nebraska will In my Judgment be determined by the party that makes the most earnest fight for the people's government. Three of the four states that have se cured that right have had the hearty co operation of the republican party. Three of the four states about to adopt direct legislation will do It by consent of the republican legislatures. The republicans cannot afford to be behind In this state. Evidently the bankers are preparing the country for another panic. H is a fearful responsibility and one tn the present tem per of the people that Is very liable to endanger the peace of the country. The men and the press that are found In the front rank battling for the people will In a very few years be the ones whose names will read best In history now being made. I am not a republican, neither am I a democrat. I am absolutely Independent. But still my sympathies go back to the old republican party. Very respectfully, A. A. PERRY. Amusements.

Potter's play. Not much. "Under Two Flags" Is one thing as a novel and quite another thing as a play. In many respects the acting version Is preferable. It gives In tabloid form what one must wade through an almost intermtnahla morass of Oulda'n turgid words to obtain. Chiefly, however, the great Improvement is In the character of Bertie Cecil, the hero. Like John Halifax, Daniel Deronda, and other men drawn by women, Bertie Cecil In the novel Is Just little bit too good to be true. In the play he Is quite a different sort, something one might reasonably expect to meet In flesh and blood. Cigarette In the novel Isn't an especially attractive personage, but in the play she la gifted with many little feminine traits which you would hardly expect to encounter tn the daughter of a camp-following woman who never knew her father,, and who had only such education as mLgbjt come to the lot of a vivandlere through, contact with the sol diers of France In . Algiers. Other depar -ures from the de, la Ramee version of l. chief incidents In. the life of Hon. Berth! Cecil, who waa also several kinds of an ass, both In the play and In the book, are to the manifest advantage of the telling. None of the dramatic possibilities of the really fascinating story are lost and sev eral are greatly enhanced. All In all, the piece is a good example of the modern melodrama. Mies Jane Kennark Is not a stranger to Omaha people by any means, although when she first came among lis she didn't object to being called Jennie. Several years' added experience, chiefly in stock, havj broadened her artistic scope without diminishing her artistic fire, and she brings to a part which easily enlists the auditor's sympathy much ability ae an actress, sup plemented by natural graces. In fact, the part of Cigarette fits her as neatly as do the abbreviated gowns she wears. She has ample opportunity to exhibit all her powers as an actress, and the curtain calls to which she responded at the end of each act showed how well her efforts were ap preciated. Emmett C. King has the Bertie Cecil part and does It well. Theodore Marston s Rockingham and Robert Folsom ae Rake furnish the hero with a pair of friends he should never forget. Alexander Kearney, to whom falls the lot of the In dispensable villain, does his thankless work with the charm of a finished actor. Others In the long cast are acceptable. The piece Is staged with all the scenery and accessories prepsred for Its original New York production, and Is In this re spect practically perfect. No finer bit of realism than the sand storm and Cig arette's ride through the gorge of Chellala Is ever seen. Two of the largest audiences of the sea son were present at the matinee and even ing performances yesterday. It was no ticed Isst night that many people seldom seen In the theater on Sunday were pres ent. The engagement will end with Satur day night's performance. Matinees will be given on Thursday and Saturday. At the Crelghton-Orpheam. Manager Retter presents for carnival week a bill ot vaudeville which Is all new to Omaha, for none ot the people on the bill has ever appeared in this city betors. There are several particularly bright spots on the program, the most luminous being that made by George W. Day, who "in cork" does a turn which entitles his name to the largest type on the three-sheet, which, by the way, he doesn't get perhaps because his nsme doesn't happen to be Lew Dockstader. Day carries with him nothing but new Jokes and tosses thera off to the audience in the best of style, and his songs, too, are worth the hearing to any man with a laugh tn him. Another act on the program that appeals to the pasae Individual who Is yearning for some thing to amuse him Is that ot Victor Moore and Julia Blanc. These clever people are fortunate In having a sketch that Is ori ginal and full of pure fun. Leon puts on an Illusion act that puzzles and amuses the audience, Irene Franklin sings several ballads, tn good voles, and the other act worthy ot mention is the "dra matic comedy" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, presented by Mattle Keene and company. Miss Keene is an actress of ability, but she Is wasting her time and talent on the Wilcox production, which Is not even funny In Its puerility. The program pleads that this la Mrs. Wilcox's first offense aa a dramatist, and aa It Is not likely that she will be called upon to do tt agsln. perhaps It is better to drop the esse without further comment.

ENTIRE FAMILY IS POISONED Foot Psspls Taltei Violently 111, but 111 Isoorsr, CONTAMINATED MILK CAUSES TROUBLE Chemical Analysis of the Milk Will De Made and Tollce Will (Jive the Case Thorough Investigation. Four members of the family of E. A. Cuthbertson, Including Mr. Cuthbertson, Mrs. Cuthbertson, his wife; Margaret Cuthbertson, his daughter, and Mrs. Isa bella Cuthbertson, his mother, were taken suddenly and violently 111 shortly after breakfast yesterday morning, with symp toms of poisoning, and for several hours their condition waa critical. Late yester day afternoon Dr. J. S. Qoetx, the attend ing physician, pronounced his patients out of danger. Dr. Ooetz said the members of the family were suffering from ptomaine poisoning.

The milk was purchased Sunday moroing from a grocery store In the vicin ity of the home of the Cuthbertsons. Mrs. E. A.

The family ate breakfast about 9 o'clock, after which Mrs. Isabella Cuthbertson left the house to visit friends In the neighbor hood. She had gone only a short distance when she was suddenly taken violently ill. She hastened home and found the members of the family working over Mr. Cuthbert son, who was suffering with severe pains In the stomach. Dr. Ooeti waa at once called, but before he arrived the other two members of the family were also taken sick, and all were suffering violent pains. Dr. Ooeti worked over them for many hours and It was late In the afternoon before he stated they were out of danger. Mr. Cuthbertson was the most violently attacked and was the last to come from under the Influence ot the poison. He Is still a very Blck man, though it Is thought be Is In no danger. The police were Informed that some one had poisoned the food of the family with the Intention of murdering thera. De tectives Drummy and Mitchell Investigated and are of the opinion the sickness was caused by the milk. What the milk con tains is not known, and will not be until today, when it will be analyzed.
