of Missionary WoTk.
MANY HEAR THE INTERESTING REPORT
peaker Says Congregation at Koantse
Memorial la the Largest He Haa
Addressed Since Leaving;
Baltimore.
H place of the customary morning ser
tnon at Kountze Memorial church was sub
stituted an address by Rev. Marlon J.
Cllne, secretary of the Board of Foreign
Missions of the Lutheran church, who spoke
particularly of mission work In India.
In entering upon his discourse the
speaker expressed his gratification at being
afforded an opportunity to address this
congregation, which, he said, was the
largest he had seen alnce leaving his home
la Baltimore. He aald there was a great
deal he would like to ear, but on this
occasion ha would confine himself to the
abject of the work In India, trusting to
ba enabled at some future time to talk to
-this same congregation on African mis
sions. The great object of missionary work, the
peaker said, was to offer Christianity to
the last man In the uttermost parts of the
earth, and the spirit of this work was
expressed In the words of the Saviour to
the fishermen of Gallilee: "Come, follow
and I will make you fishers of men."
On great duty of a Christian disciple,
Ber. Cllne said, was to become also an
apostle and aid In the work to disciple
'the nations of the world.
Progrreas of the Work.
The missionary work of the Lutheran
church was begun many years ago, the
peaker continued, but the first American
Lutheran mission was established In India
at Madraa in 1842. In 1900 there wero
20,487 baptised converts of the church and
In 1901, 24,800, an increase for that one
7ear greater than In the thirty-five years
preceding. The policy of the Lutheran
Church In India, he said, had been one of
aggressiveness and activity, and to that he
attributed thla success. He particularly
emphasised the point that only the beet
Cf missionaries should be sent to the East
indlan field, for the reason that there
Christianity njuBt combat conditions not
easy to overcome. Centuries of heathenism
and generation after generation of highly
philosophic culture had made the people
of India difficult material to deal with, and
only the ablest Christians should be sent
to that country to cope with the Hindoo
philosophers.
An Immediate Need.
By those who had studied the situation,
however. It had been said that there were
60,000 of the people of India who were
alttlng on the outskirts of Hindoolsm,
whose old chains had been broken and who
vera ready to give up the worship of idols,
tut had not become Christians. It these
!eople are not given asgresslve Christian
ity, he aald. they will become atheists.
Beside the strictly evangelical branch of
the work he also spoke of the educational
and medical phases of missionary effort
among the people of India. The Lutheran
church, he said, was born In a university
and Its father was a university professor,
ad It possessed the best educational ad
vantages of any of the churches. In Its
missionary work the schoolhouse and the
college were to be found sido by side with
God's temple and one of the features of
the currloulum In Its schools was the
teeohlng of God's word. There were, he
said, at the present time 4,000 or more
fr.eathtn students In India who were receiv
ing Instruction In the Bible.
Boas of the Obstacles.
The speaker referred to the barrier of
caste as one of the great obstacles to the
Christianising of the people of India, since
entrance Into the Christian church meant
to a Brahmin the severance of all family
nd social ties. But In spite of this grati
fying progress had been made.
The medical branch of missionary work
bs spoke of as essential and important,
nd the medicine case, he said, had been
found to be one of the keys to unlock the
(Jeers of heathenism. In this connection he
dwelt upon the usefulness of the women
missionaries, by reason of the fact that
tUa aoctal rules In India wero so stringent
that a woman would be permitted to die
rather than that she should be attended
by a male physician. As an example of the
excellent work of the women in this field
te said that in South India there was a
hospital which cost (50,000 and which was
erected by the women. In the English gov
ernment reports this hospital was com-
mended as the best In South India.
Hit PHYSICAL LI KB A PARALLEL.

Another Spiritual Illustration.
The birth, growth, death, burial and
resurrection of the physical Jesus furnished
Evangelist George Robert Cairns of Phila
delphia with a parallel for the birth,
growth, crucifixion and resurrection of the
spiritual existence of the present-day fol
lower. In the sermon delivered at Calvary
JBaptist church Sunday morning. "Christ
also auffered for us, leaving us an example
that ye should follow," from the gospel of
Voter; and "Because as He Is, so are ye in
this world," from the gospel of John, were
the text.
Of the feature of birth, the evangelist
aid: "There is no such thing as growth
In Ood until there is a birth in God. There
Is no such thing as sonship without regen
ration. Regeneration Is the foundation of
11 superstructure In character building.
The permanency of character depends upon
the foundation thereof. No matter how
conscientious a builder may be, if the foun
6tlon be faulty the structure will fall upon
him. If a man build his character upon
any other foundation than Jesus he la
building upon a rotten foundation, I care
Sot how honest, conscientious and perfect
he may be."
Of growth he said: "There are too many
Tom Thumbs in the church; too many
dwarfs who early ceased to grow. The big
gest snd of the church Is the nursery, where
thin-skinned babies have to be rocked by
the pastor to keep them in good humor.
They are no good. Christians should grow
areat and strong. Each should have hide
tough as that of a rhlnocerous. Real Chris
tlantty has lost none of Its heroism. Twenty
thousand Chinese converts were beheaded
rather than spit upon the cross drawn In
the sand. There Is no place for Idlers in
the economy of God. The Christian life
Is a strenuous life. The spirit that domi

other brother that one cannot fall without

Of the burial and reclamation he said:
"The admonition Is to 'make Christians
and then baptise them;' not to baptlr.e men
and then make Christians. Tou might be
baptized once each day for the rest of your
natural life and still not go to heaven. Bap
tism has not the faintest connection with
salvation, but is merely expression of de

of "Omaha Hypocrites."
REV. ItEYMH.l) BKG;S PASTORATE.
Delivers Inaaarnral Sermon at Caatel.
lar Street Presbyterian Charrh.
Rev. W. H. Reynold, recently selected
pastor of the Castellar Street Presbyterian
church, delivered his Inaugural sermon as
pastor of the church Sunday morning and
was greeted by a large congregation.
His discourse was on Paul's words
that Christ came Into the world to save
sinners and his advice to Timothy upon
the latter's entrance Into the ministry. The
advice laid down in the long ago for the
guidance of ministers snd preachers. Rev.
Reynolds stated, was applicable today.
This was to avoid superficial preaching or
teachings that do not edify; talk not of
endless genealogy, for it creates human
strife. Instead preach that Christ came
into the world to save sinners. That in
cludes every substance of Christian be
lief. "It Is an old adage," said he, "that has
been proven time and again and it is the
substance of the thoughts of those who
have been the holiest of Christ's teach
ers. It has been proven that It Is worthy
of acceptance. It shows the greatness of
the work of Christ; it Is an important
work, because It deals with everybody.
Some accept this teaching as they would
a gift, as a curiosity, but It should be ac
cepted in a sense of appropriation."
In conclusion Rev. Reynold requested
the co-operation of the church members
In furthering the Interest of the church
and of Christianity. After the discourse an
Informal reception was held at the church
and the members were presented to him.
Rev. Reynold came to Omaha from Mar
lon, la. Mrs. Reynold and son arrived
Sunday morning and the family has gone
to housekeeping at 2615 South Fifteenth
street.
HARD ON NEGRO REGIMENTS
Order for Reduction of Kamerleal
Strength Sacrifices Good Soldiers
Reluctant to Retire.
Within the next week there will be more
men discharged from the army of the
United States stationed In the Department
of the Missouri than ever before have been
discharged from the regular army in this
department In the same length of time.
Two regiments will be affected by these
discharges, the Tenth cavalry and the
Twenty-fifth infantry, the latter organiza
tion losing more than the former.
The discharges are the result of the or
der from the War department reducing the
total number of enlisted men In all
branches of the nervlce to 69,886, including
stall departments, etc. The regiments
from which the discharges will be made
are composed of negroes. At the time the
order was Issued reducing the companies
of infantry and cavalry to sixty-five en
listed men the white regiments were not
full and the discharges from them have
not 'been marked, the men dropping out
generally as their terms of enlistment ex
pired. With the colored regiments it was
different. As there are only four regi
ments in the service In which, negroes can
enlist there are always more men willing
to Join than can be used, so the army gets
the pick of those who volunteer. After a
man has become connected with these reg
iments he must conduct himself In an ex
cellent manner or he will be dropped. The
result is that the men enlisted in the col
ored regiments do not want to leave the
service, and where the white regiments
were reduced by expiration of terms the
colored regiments had to be reduced by
enforced discharges. Company command
ers were asked to report to regimental
commanders the names of those enlisted
men who should be discharged. For the pur
pose or reduction the men to be discharged
were divided Into three classes, those to
be discharged for the good of the service,
tnose unfitted for the service and those
whose services were no longer required.
In the first class were those whose con
duct was not what It should be, yet had
not been guilty of offenses which would
cause their discharge by court martial; in
the second class are men who are physi
cally or mentally unBulted for the work,
and In the last class are those who were
willing to accept discharges. The first and
second classes were exhausted before the
third class was approached, and where,
from the first and second classes the dis
charges would reduce the company to the
minimum strength, there were none whose
services were not needed. This action on
the part of company and regimental com
manders has resulted In the discharge of
a total or 419 men from the two regiments
mentioned. At Fort Reno about 138 men
of the Twenty-fifth infantry will be dis
charged, and from the same organisation
238 will be discharged at Fort Niobrara
Of the Tenth cavalry thirty-five men will
be discharged at Fort 8111 snd thirty-elsht
at Fort Robinson.
The payment of these discharged men Is
under the control of Major Muhlenburg.
chief paymaster of the department. As
Captain Lynch has 'been ordered tempor
arily to the Department of the Dakota,
Major Canby has been ordered from St.
Louis to pay these men at the posts.

ILLEGAL VOTING APPARENT
Plaintiff in Damage Suit Against City Tails
Into Trap.
GIVES TESTIMONY AGAINST HIMSELF
Swears that He Lived in Third Ward,
Whereae Record Showa that
He Toted In the Sixth
Ward.
There Is now on trial before Judge 81a
baugh and a Jury In district court a case
In the collection of evidence for which
and during the examination of the plaintiff
In which City Attorney W. J. Connell baa
encountered what impresses him as a very
clear case of Illegal registration and voting
and one which would be less difficult for
the county attorney to get action on than
those manipulated and accomplished under
the direct supervision and direction of
the corporate machine.
The suit Is that of Harry Crocker against
the city for $5,000 because of Injuries al
leged to have been sustained June 21, 1901,
when a loaded wagon on which Crocker
was seated "chucked" Into a bele In the
paving on North Sixteenth street snd
caused him to be thrown off, run over and
the tendons of his right groin ruptured,
with the result that he spent nineteen
days In a hospital. The defense alleges
that "he got under the wagon's wheel
through his own carelessness.
"The apparent Illegal registration wss
disclosed," said Mr. Connell, "when the
legal department sought to prepare its de
fense in this suit. Under my direction
Judge Cockrell of thla department has en
deavored to find Crocker for the past year
(his summons on us was served In July,
1901), to have an examination made of his
pretended Injuries. Neither Cockrell nor I
could ascertain anything concerning Crock
er's whereabouts except that he was living
In Randolph, la. I was therefore very much
surprised when I chanced to note his nsme
on the registration books of the Sixth
ward of Omaha and learned that he had
not only registered there, but voted there
at thit recent election. I knew that he
was in the city only for the purpose of at
tending the trial of his suit against tho
city and was stopping temporarily at the
Thurston hotel. I thereupon caused further
investigation and ascertained that he had
registered at the hotel a few days before
the last registration day as from Randolph,
la., but had subsequently secured the hotel
register and with a knife had scratched
off .the name Randolph and written Over1 the
place the word Omaha. The hotel's clerk
informed Judge Cockrell that he saw
Crocker do this and the marks on the
books are still readable.
Voted In Sixth Ward.
"But the registration books showed that
he had voted in the Sixth ward, whereas
tho Thurston Is many blocks away, in the
Third ward. Becoming Interested we In
vestigated further and ascertained that he
claimed to have made his home at 946
North Twenty-fourth. Since then I have
secured affidavits In denial of this, so that
even If he were a resident of the city,
which he is not, he was guilty ef fslse
registration In that he voted In a ward
where he bad not lived at all and where
he presented no affidavit of removal. His
action in- changing the hotel records In
dicates very clarly that he realized he
was getting on dangerous ground, notwith
standing the fact that his counsel. I. R.
Andrews, a strong Mercer follower and
antagonists to the city administration,
now tries to make light of It and keep It
out of the records as having no bearing
on the present case.
"In examining the witness I sought only
to find out wbars he had been and if Omaha
really Is his home. It is not my purpose to
tske any action with regard to criminal
proceedings, for It Is no psrt of my duties
to prosecute In cases of this nature. That
Is a matter resting entirely with the
county attorney. I am advised by Judge
Cockrell. however, that Deputy County At
torney Dunn has heard of the nature of
the testimony and evidence In the damage
suit, and has ssked for the records for
the purpose of investigating the case and
considering what action if any should be
taken against Crocker."
Connell Sets tho Trap.
Tho attempt of Attorney Connell to get
Crocker to state his place of residence
was made In the course of the cross-examination
of the witness Friday and resulted
in these questions and answers!' '
Question Where are you stopping? An
swerAt the present stopping at the'
Thurston hotel.
q. How long have you been stopping
there? A Right after election; the next
day after election. I held forth there
three days before election. I took a room
there and I was away about seven days,
something similar to that, and been stop
ping since that time. I have been out of j
town. I
Q. Are you stopping there premanently
or temporarily? A. Temporarily.
q. Have you been during the present
yesr stopping there sny time permanently
or temporarily? A- I have been stopping
there at the Thurston hotel off and on
since John M. Ball stopped housekeeping
the latter part of July.
q. And you have not been living with
htm since last July? A. He stopped
housekeeping, ss I said.
Q. Answer my question. Tou have not
been living with him since last July? A.
No. sir.
Q. Then, If I understand you correctly.
at such times as you may have been In
Omaha during the year 1902 you have
stopped at the Thurston hotel? Is that
correct? A. Yes, a part of the time. Not
all the time while I have been In Omaha.
Q. Have you stopped or msde your resi
dence at any time during the year 1902 at
any place other than the Thurston hotel?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Where? A. North Twenty-fourth

Q. Who were you with when at North
Twenty-fourth street? A Mrs. Borln.
Q. A daughter of John Ball? A. Yes,
sir.
Q. What number on North Twenty-
fourth atreet? A. 946.
Q. When did you stop there during the
year 1902 7 A. Off ana on, along, ever
since Mr. Ball left there. I would go up
snd take my meals If she did not have a
room for me. I would be In town a day
or two, principally Friday and Saturday,
and I would come in and stay over Sun
day.
Q. When, if st all, did you stsy there
one night in the year 1902? A. I told you
I took my meals there.
Q. I am not asking where you took your
meals. I am asking when during 1902 you
staid one night at the place that you refer
to on North Twenty-fourth, vis.: at the
daughter of Mr. Ball's. A. I msde the
explanation that I did not stay a night with
Mrs. Borln. Although she did not have
rooms, I took my meals at her place.
Q. Then It la true, is It not, that during
1902 you have not at any time staid a
single nlgbt at the plsce on North Twen
ty-fourth street? A. Yes, I told you..
Q. What Is the number on North
Twenty-fourth street to which you snder
stand these questions and answers relate?
A. tit North Twenty-fourth street.
Wosaen Contradict Crocker.
In direct contradiction of this Is the at
i fidavlt of the airs. Borln referred te, who
states that she has resided at S46 North
Twenty-fourth street since October, 1901,
and who further swesrs thst "she person
ally knows Harry Crocker, who has brought
suit against the city of Omaha for alleged
personal injuries, and knows positively
thst said Harry Crocker has never roomed
or lived at said No. 946 North Twenty
fourth Street since this affiant resided
there; that prior to the death of affiant's
mother, about Christmas time, 1901, the
said Crocker called at said house and ssld
la substsnre that he had come to spend
Christmas; whereupon affiant's mother told
him she did not care to have him there,
and he did not remain to eat a single meal,
and did not room there or sleep there, or
have any things there, and never has since
such time."
. Other parts of the affidavit read:
"Affiant further says that she knows from
ststements msde by said Crocker that he
has been absent from Omaha and has re
sided In Randolph, la., and that said
Crocker told this affiant that he was buying
grain and conducting a real estate busi
ness at said Randolph."
Another affidavit Is by Nettie Meek, who
occupies the other halt of the double
house st 946 North Twenty-fourth street,
and who says she "knows Harry Crocker
by sight, but la not specially acquainted
with him; that she knows that said Harry
Crocker has not lived or roomed at No.
946 North Twenty-fourth street since affi
ant has resided there; thst affiant com
menced to reside at said place since early
In August, at which time she and her
family moved Into said house, the same
having then been vacated by John H. Ball
snd bis two daughters, who had been re
siding there."
"When he voted Crocker swore that he
had been a resident in the state, county
and voting precinct one year and that he
then lived at 946 North Twenty-fourth
street. He seems to me a good one for the
county attorney to make an example of as a
warning to future offenders," said Attorney
Connell. "The law provides penalty of not
leas than one year nor more than five for
willful violator of the election and registra
tion laws."

ATTEMPTS. TO CRIPPLE UNION
''V smmwsasam n
Street Railway Company Makea Fight
on. Organisation, So flay
the Hen.
The rumor ttrouble between the Street
Railway company and. Its employes Is denied
by officers of the union, who say that from
a trade standpoint they have no cause for
complaint, but they do object, not to the
extent of striking, however, to the plan
which the company has adopted to cripple
the union. Said one of the officers:
"There is no doubt that the company has
determined to kill the union. Every man
who now secures a position with the com
pany must sign an agreement not to Join
the union must sign away his rights ss a
man before he can obtain employment. The
company has seht men around asking the
members of the union if they will drop out
of the organization if every other member
will. As no man desires to be the only
member of a union each will reply that he
will be the last man to drop out. Just what
this means we do not know and we care
little, for there is to be no general drop
ping away from the organization.
'.'At . the time! we organized the general
foreman told us that there were in the em
ploy of the company about 880 men. We
have a few more than 200 upon the rolls of
the union paying dues, which would give
us a majority of the men employed at the
time we organised. Perhaps we have not
got a majority of the men employed at this
time, as the company has Increased Its
force until It now numbers more than 400.
When we first organized It was principally
the extra men and those on short shifts
who Joined the union, but since tbat time
number of the older employes have
Joined, but not all of them. Of the new
men we have practically none, as tney
were forced to pledge themselves to keep
out of the union before they could go to
work. We do not believe tbat such a
pledge Is binding either In morals or in lsw,
but It hss Its effect upon the men, ana tne
company probably would consider Its non
observance as cause for discharge. When
we get around to It we may bring up tl)ls
matter of discrimination against the union
and make a protest to the company, but
we are not going to do It at this time."

GAS VICTIM UNIDENTIFIED
Coroner Doesn't Enow if Dead Van is John
Fljnn er Another.
BODY IS FOUND IN WALENZ HOTEL BED
Proprietor Can Give No Information
Except that He Suffered Great
Waste of Gas Description
of the Stranger,
An unidentified man was asphyxiated In
his room at the Walens hotel, 1318 Leaven
worth street, Saturday night, and his body
was discovered at 7:30 o'clock Sunday
morning.
It Is possible the man was John Flynn,
as this name was found written with a lead
pencil upon a part of an envelope In his
pocket. There was nothing else in his ef
fects by which the name of the man, nor
where be came from, could be learned.
It is thought he either blew out the gas or
turned it on accidentally after turning It
off, as he went to bed sober and bad stated
that be was going out into the country
early Sunday morning. He did not register
when assigned to a room. The gas which
escaped from the room occupied by the
stranger attracted the attention of H.
Walens, proprietor of the rooming house.
The latter notified the police and then
waited until Officer Wooldrldge and Police
Surgeon Mick arrived before unlocking the
door to the room.
With the Jet Wide Open.
When the officers arrived and the door
was unlocked they found the gas Jet turned
on full and the stranger lying dead In the
bed, his face burled In the pillow. He had
on his nlgbt clothes and his other garments
were hanging on the back of a chafr near
the bed. The body was at once removed to
the morgue and Coroner Bralley will bold
an Inquest at 10 o'clock this morning.
Walenr, the proprietor, could throw no
light on the identity of the dead man, but
he was very wroth at the loss of so much
gas. To the police he complained that
the stranger had paid him 60 cents for the
room and had used fully $2 worth of gas.
The stranger went to the hotel late Sat
urday evening and engaged a room for the
night. About 12 o'clock he retired. To
the police the proprietor of the place said
be explained to the stranger bow to turn
oft the gas. The man desired to lesve
early Sunday morning and said he was go
ing into the country, where he hsd been
shucking corn. He came to the hotel on a
bicycle. At the hotel they keep no register
and the stranger had not been asked his
name.
Hla Appeaxanea and Dress.
The dead man was apparently 23 years
old and was a laboring man. He bad dark
hair, a four days' growth of beard and a
