t i
TALKS OF MAN'S RIGHTS WITH PROPERTY
irrnri that Man on Earth la bat a
Steward and Points to Moral
Rense of Riant and
rreredlns: his sermon Sunday morning,
Rev. E. Comble Smith of the First Methodist
Episcopal church read a pulpit editorial on
the subject of the "Coal Famine from an
Ethical Rlnndpolnt." He laid the blame
for the present situation on the large coal
operators and scored them for the stand
they had taken. "A man," said the preacher,
"has only a right to do what he ought with
his own. Under our present civilisation
our llve Tlap and are dependent one
on the otu. and a man can not do what
be will tM bis property, because It Is his.
As far t ?ie legal right, thtre Is latitude
this slJi ti prison for men to damn them
selves t? inilo their fellow-men. But there
la a his- moral sense of right and wrong
which . look for men to obey. In this
fight between labor and capital, the former
Is doubtleas making grave mistakes, but It
Is ths consummate Insolence of wealth, even
towards the chief executive of this nation,
which Is the cause of all this trouble be
tween labor and capital. Men must learn
blgber spiritual law, that there la no ab
solute ownership among men, .bat we ara
here only as stewards, and that wo must
account for the way we have used the things
In our charge here."
The sermon which followed was a criti
cism of critics, and held up to light the
uselessness of those who were thinkers and
dreamers without doing any practical good.
Too many of ui, he complained, live in
contemplation. "There la room for the
dreamer," he said, "if after he has worked
out bis Ideals and dreama he will come
down to earth and realize them. I hold In
contempt the mere critic; he who sits In an
easy chair and criticizes for the periodicals
and papers. He takes his pen and tears
the church to pieces. He criticizes the mis
sionaries of the gospel who are fighting
hardships In every quarter of the globe.
Then, when he has laid down his pen, what
does he do? Does he go out and accom
plish some practical good? Oh, no! He
goes to hear Mrs. Patrick Campbell or
Madame Pattt. Let us not be carpet
knights. Let ue be men of action."
rOUNDATIO 19 LAID 1 TRt'TII.
80 Says Rev, Jrnka In nUeasalna- Suc
cess In Life.
Re. Edward Hart Jenks, D. D., last even
ing at the First Presbyterlnn church deliv
ered his second address on "Getting a
Start." The theme was: "The Man Who
Started and Failed." He said:
"I am going to use Saul, the king of
Israel, to Illustrate how men who promise
well In life often end in failure. The Bible
tells us that Saul was 'a goodly young
man.' In physical beauty none surpassed
him. He stood a head taller than his
fellows.. When he first appears In the nar
rative he is hunting the lost asses of his
father; It Is much to bia credit to see
him soon to be king honestly employed
In an humble sphere and not ashamed of It.
"Men are not to be Judged by appear
ances; If they were, many a mighty man
of the world would have to leave his pedea
tal of fame. 'The Lord looketh on the
heart. ' The difference between success
and failure Is more often moral than men
tal. So with Saul. We must not think
that his life of king was abortive. He
wag for many years a great and successful
general and a king of great popularity.
His great failure came through regarding
the voice of popularity more than that of
Ood.
"'We are . not free of such today, Saul
made his first blunder at OUgal. He waited
for Samuel, the priests to coine and offer
sacrifice until, fearing for bis people's Im
patience, he took upon himself the priestly
office and offered the burnl offering. That
act revealed that he had no religious prin
ciple It was all expediency a fatal ele
ment In any man's success. When religion
Is mere ceremony, moral principle becomes
alack. And when moral principle Is gone
man's credit and power are gone too.
"There are plenty of men todRy who, it
they could get present success in buslnens,
In politics. In any enterprise, would take
their chances on the future. Douglas tried
It with the homely, plain-dealing Lincoln.
Said Lincoln: 'Douglas doesn't care whether
slavery Is voted up or down; but God cares
and I care.' Douglas gained the publlo
ear at first, defeated Lincoln for the sen
atorshlp; but when the great voice of
a roused conscience asked for a loader.
In the days of the crisis, Lincoln was there
to answer the call of God to the presidency.
Men who go through the world with little
regard for the underlying principle of right
ousneas have trodden under foot eternal
realities which will not down. No man
can Ignore truth nor be Indifferent to the
right. He who tries to stay the laws of
heaven might as well bid the stars cease
to swing on high.
"He whose foundation Is laid In ths
truth, as It Is In Josus, will never be out
of dute, though perhaps out of harmony
with the world- and In time or eternity
he shall succeed. '
TALK ON K1I)MCS!I TO ANIMALS
Rer.
Sermon at
Newton M. Mann's
t'nltr Church
Rev. Newton M. Mann preached a sermon
on "Kindness to Animals" at Unity church
Euaday morning. He said In part
"Kindness to animals is an essentially
modern sentiment.. Beyond the verse from
Proverbs which says, 'The righteous man
careth for his boast,' the Bible shows no
record of the love of God for animals. It
was not thought among the Christians of
early days that animals were deserving of
any humane treatment.
"The child Is thoughtlessly cruel to ani
mals and only laws can keep the child as
well as the man from being cruel to ani
mals. Man is a progressive being In whom
the progression la most rapid on the upper
aide and especially in certain superficial
sentiments snd aspirations, outruns the rest
of the constitution. But life ts often full of
contradictions. One mental powers and
aesthetic feelings being linked with the
outgrown passiom of Infirmity of will and
ths habits of the barbarian. This contradic
tion Is most merited In .the ages of the
greatest progress, for then the elements
that are the slowest to modify get the fur
thest behind aud Jar most violently with
the other faculties."
PRIESTS OBJECT TO PENNIES
Two Hew Jersey Pastors Rrbike Their
Conarreaatlons for Mhovlns;
the toppers.
At the last mass at St. Michael's Roman
Catholic church, Jersey City, Sunday, re
ports the New York Times, Rev. M. J.
Duffy rebuked a portion of the congregation
for putting pennies In the plate.
"I have spoken of this matter before,"
said he, "and I hope I shall not have oc
casion to refer to It again. Most persons
who mske uee of pennies throw them at
organ grinders or put them Into slot ma
chines. To bring them here and put them
In the plate Is an Insult to the church. I
wish It understood that I do not refer to
persons who give a penny honestly because
they cannot afford to give any more. They
are robbing themselves, and should give
nothing The church does not need their
money and does not want It. There are
many hardworking girls who give 26 cents
at every monthly collection. It Is all they
can afford. The class I refer to are men
who put a penny or a nickel In the plate
and after mass go to ths nearest saloon
and spend from 50 cents to $1, showing that
they care irore for the saloonkeeper than
they do for the church."
Father Duffy prefaced his remarks by
reading ths annual report for 1902. It
showed that the collections for the year
amounted to $42,845, of which $20,000 had
been applied to the payment of the church
debt.
Rev. P. F. Smythe of St. Joseph's Roman
Catholic church also referred to the penny
question. He said that at the various
masses on Sunflay, January 4, the collec
tions Included 1,500 pennies. He believed
that each of the 1,600 persons who gave
these pennies could have given a nickel and
thereby have better shown their apprecia
tion of the church, while at the same time
their contributions would have been of
much greater benefit.

The Germ that Causes It Has to Be

Many a woman spends an hour twice a
week scouring her scalp, thinking scrubbing

hours a week, at the age of 40 years, she
has spent 260 days of 12 hours each, or

"Mr. Glgson," said tbe attorney for the

"I reckon I am," replied the witness.

TALK IN HOTEL CORRIDORS
Object of Women's Auxiliary to Boosters'
Club of North Platte.
TRAVELERS MAKE AND TELL SOME JOKES
How Dell-Hop Turned In Guest's De.
mand for Better Ventilation
Storekeeper at Fremont
Makes Lnrky Strike.
"An editor out In our town got up a
'boosters' club,' and now the women are
talking of organizing an auxiliary to It,"
said Henry E. Ady, a stockman from near
North riatte, at the Paxton hotel yester
day. "The auxiliary hasn't got Into operation
yet, I guess, but it calculates to do busi
ness when It does. One of Its notions, I
understand, is to make the council or
somebody pass an ordinance or law for
bidding men to spit on the sidewalk.' I
guess I could stand that, but some of the
fellows out my way certainly would keep
tbe officers busy making arrests under
those conditions. When a Neoraska rancher
or one of the railroad boys who has been
chewing tobacco all his life runs up against
that proposition I don't want to be around."
The Immaculate clothing drummer sniffed
the moment he was conducted within the
door, and said to the bellhop: "Boy, you
hustle right down and tell that clerk that
this room will have to have better ventila
tion If I use It. It's positively musty."
The dutiful bellhop went down to the
clerk as bidden and said: "De gemmen In
218 say to send up anothah ventilation,
cause de one up dere is rusty and he can't
use it."
"Talk about your gold mines! A store
keeper named Blumenthal found one In his
basement this week at Fremont," said E.
Charles Chase of that city to a crowd
around the Murray's desk yesterday.
"Blumenthal sold out and was cleaning up
for the people who are to come In after
him. Among other things he had to move
was a great lot of ashes down in the store
basement. When the men got to shoveling
out, they uncovered a pile of hard coal.
There must have been at least a ton and a
half of it. Blumenthal says it got covered
up last winter and while he noticed it at
the time, he really forgot all about It this
fall when winter set In, and so the find
was like so much pure gain for him. Every
body In Fremont, I guess, has been spend
ing an hour or two rooting around in his
own cellar since the story got out."
They were a pair of the real things and
they were willing all should know it. When
they were seated In the cafe the boy with
tbe bangs asked; "Can we get beer in
here?" The waiter admitted that they
could, but added that he presumed they
would want It with their lunch orders. The
boy with the pompadour said, certainly they
would want It with their lunch order. The
waiter asked what they would have for
lunch, and the real things pondered five
minutes over the bill of fare. Then, to
come with their beer, one ordered milk
toast nnd the other ordered buckwheat
cakes. The waiter went out immediately.
He was afraid they might change their
minds and order caramel drops with Man
hattan cocktails. "
"I want to get out to Geneva again be
fore long and see how they come out on
their telephone franchise fight," said H.
E. Harrison, a grocery salesman, stopping
at the Schllts. "When I was there this
last week the ambitious little city was all
up In the air because three companies were
trying to get the Inside track for 'phone
service there. One of them was a home
concern and had most of the backing, but
two or three of the councllmen were for
some Iowa or Illinois company, I can't re
member which, and made speeches In the
council meeting against the home company
and then there was the deuce to pay.
The man who represented the home com
pany threatened to withdraw his propo
sition and the meeting bad to adjourn until
some future time. I suppose the news
papers have taken sides and made It a real
respectable corporation fight by this time."
"People this far east don't realize how
much snow there has been out west this
winter," said H. F. Arnold at the Murray
yesterday. "I was stuck In a drift out
this side of Cheyenne on the Union Pacific
from one Friday night until the next Sun
day night and every man of us took a turn
at the shovels. Well, not every man,
either. There were a dozen laborers and
one dude who didn't. The conductor got
square with those fellows by making them
eat after the reBt of us got through, when
we finally got to a lunch counter. He told
them if they were not well enough to work
like the rest they were not well enough
to eat like the rest."
PENSION ASKED AND DECLINED
Soldier Explains that He Merely
Wanted to Establish HIa
Right to One.
The pension bureau has discovered an old
soldier who has refused to accept a pension
from the government after applying for It,
reports the St. Louis Republic, and Commis
sioner Ware doesn't know exactly what to
think of It.
The veteran who has taken ths unusual
course is John A. Dalley of Topeka.
But the next mall after tbe pension was
allowed came a letter from the old soldier,
In which he stated that be didn't want a
pension after all.
He didn't care for It, he said, and asked
Commissioner Ware, as a personal favor, to
remove his name from the pension list.
When Commissioner Ware' received this
communication he was dumfounded. He
concluded that Dalley was not of sound
mind.
So a special examiner was sent out to
Kansas to make a thorough' examination
Into Mr. Dalley's sanity and the most re
markable part of the whole affair was then
brought to light.
The examiner discovered that the veteran
was really In need of assistance from Uncle
Sam, and that, instead of being weak
eluded, he was particularly bright, in spite
of hla advanced age. Mr. Dalley, the ex
aminer reported, was bent nearly double
from the effects of a disease contracted on
the field of battle. He could not ataud up
right and hla entire form was twisted with
pain.
Mr. Dalley gave a peculiar reason for re
fusing to take the pension, which bad once
been bis, although for a few days only. He
said he wanted to prove to the people that
he had been a soldier for the union and
didn't care about the government's money,
as the government already had to spend
millions of dollars annually In pensions.
When Comnileeloner Ware received the
report of the special examiner be was at
a loss how is proceed. There was no pre
cedent for such a thing and considerable
time was taken In determining what action
should be taken.
At (ant Commissioner Wars wrote Mr.
Dailey s personal letter. In which he told
the veteran that as a special favor his name
would be removed from ths pension list
snd no money would bs sent to him.
la relinquishing bit pension altar u had
been allowed, Mr. Dalley wrote to the pen
sion office ss follows:
"I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of pension certificate No. 1,049.955.
The award Is generous and the result
prompt.
"My purpose In filing my application was
to establish my claim, which, being done
by the Issuance of the certificate and pay
ments made In accordance therewith, may
easily be said to be accomplished. -
"Tou are hereby directed and empowered
to remove my name from the pension list
and to discontinue the Issuance of any
funds for payment of any claims under and
by virtue of the above numbered certifi
cate." .Dalley was a soldier In the Fourteenth
Indiana Infantry. The pension which he re
fused to accept amounted to $12 per month.
Commissioner Ware says he will not be
allowed to apply for an accumulated pension
later, although he can again make amplica
tion for a pension to begin from the date
of the application.
WHIRLPOOL FILLED WITH GOLD
Tons of the Yellow Metal Believed to
Rest on the Floor of Niagara's
Awful Pool.
It has remained for Peter Nlssen of
Chicago to thrill the hearts of the residents
of the Niagara locality with an oplplon
that there Is gold In paying quantities at
the bottom of the Niagara whirlpool, that
river pocket that Is so full of mys tery. Mr.
Nlssen in the man who twice boldly navi
gated the whirlpool rapids In a boat of his
own construction and on his second visit
to the whirlpool Is alleged to have taken
soundings in order to penetrate the mys
tery of its depth, formation, etc. For over
six hours Nlssen floated helplessly about
the pool, taking soundings when opportu
nity offered, and now. In an interview, he
says the full Importance of his discoveries
of that eventful day did not come to him
for six months. Here Is what he says:
"A little over a year ago I floated around
In the whirlpool one day from 12 o'clock
noon to 7:30 o'clock In the evening. I
bobbed my lead against the bottom more
than 100 times, but obtained no more than
thirty-two good soundings. Besides these
soundings I discovered the remarkable fact
that the bottom of the pool Is covered with
sand. There was something so strange
about this that I could not leave off
thinking about it. The interpretation of It
did not come to me till more than six
months later. In order that you may fol
low my thought I want to tell you a few
facts with which you may already be fa
miliar. There was a time in the geologic
history of America when the northeastern
part of this country was entirely covered
with Ice. This Is sometimes called the
Labrador Ice sheet, from the fact that it
covered the Labrador peninsula and came
from that direction. Its southern border
crossed the Ohio river near Cincinnati. It
extended through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and west of. the Great Lakes.
"The ice continued to thaw at the south
ern and western extremities, while the
frost and snow kept adding to it in the
north. This made it more like a mighty
glacier across the rocks of Canada. Its
Immense weight and force ground and
scoured these rocks and carried the debris
southward, where it was deposited from
place to place wherever circumstances per
mitted. Before this ice age there was a
Niagara river but when, on accouLt of the
warmer climate In this region, the ice re
ceded northward and tbe Niagara again
began to flow. Its old bed from the whirl
pool to St. David's had been entirely filled
up, so that the river found an easier cut
let toward Lewiatoa.
"These facta. are woll known. Every
student of Nlagsra Is familiar with them.
It Is equally well, known that there Is a
belt of gold-bearing rock that extends all
through the Labrador peninsula and north
west of the lakes.- It has an area of over
200,000 square miles. In '.his rock there
are the gold, mines at Hastings directly
north of the falls. In this rock are also
gold mines throughout Labrador, Quebec
and Ontario. It is the very same rock In
which Alaska gold is found. It is the de
bris of this rock that was carried down
by the tee and deposited In which gold la
found in the ,Chaudiere country, south of
the St. Lawrence. It is in the debris of
this rock, carried down in the same way,
in which, according to one well known
geologist, 'there is gold everywhere in the
United States from Canada to Florida.' It
is this same debris that has filled up the
St. David's channel, of whtch the whirl
pool of Niagara was a part.
"When the river began to flow anew It
was directed against this deposit, like the
giant nozzles used for gold mining In the
west. Out there they collect the gold sand
between the rails at the bottom of the
flume while the water, sand and gravel
flow on. The very same condition exists in
the whirlpool. The water has flowed for
ages and washed out millions upon mil
lions of cubic feet of sand and gravel. Take
these facta in conjunction with my dis
covery that there Is sand on the bottom of
the whirlpool, would it then be unreason
able to think that this Is gold-bearing
sand?"
GENEROUS ACTS OF ROBBER
Admiring; Mlsaourlan Tells a Story
to the Credit of Cole
Younger.
The late Major Emory S. Foster of
Springfield, Mo., although he was a gallaut
union soldier during the civil war, always
"stood up" - for Cole Younger. Lasting
gratitude for generous treatment that he
once received from the daring bandit
caused him to do so. The story of the In
cident, as told by the old major himself, to
the Springfield Leader, is as follows: "He
and bis regiment took part in the battle at
Lone Jack, Mo. In the midst of the en
gagement, be was shot, and, as was thought,
fatally wounded.. Ths union troops were
forced to retire, and leave their wounded
on ton field. Foster and his brother lay. be
side each other in a hut when a young
bushwhacker who had been their enemy at
Warrensburg before the war entered. He
was bait drunk, and had a pistol In each
hand. He was swearing that he was going
to kill the Fosters. "He csught sight of us
lying there, and rushed over," related
Major Foster. "His eyes were fiendish.
" 'Say your prayers, you,' he shouted.
'You die this minute.'
"A young fellow suddenly rushed for
ward. " 'You d d coward,' he said.
"In a moment he bad seized the rowdy,
disarmed him and knocked bim headlong
through a window. Then he stood guard
over us.
" 'My name is Cole Younger,' he said,
'and I pledge my name for your security.'
"I thought I was mortally wounded and
confided to Younger that I had some I7i0
and a watch and chain and my brother a
considerable amount of money, which wo
would like to send to our mother In War
rensburg. Cole Younger took the money
and valuables and four days later my
mother received them."
"Major Foster never forgets this act of
honor and kindness," the Springfield Lesde
continues. "When the Youngers were de
nounced he defended tbem. When they
were imprisoned be zeslously sought a par
don for them, and when things looked
blackest, he, at Cole's request, sent them
his photograph. Cole framed It In his cell."
Major Foater died at Oakland, Cat., tho
day before Christmas.

Some Nice Rooms for Ten Dollars Per Month
There are two rooms, which, though they are small, are in every way de
sirable, and only two at this price that are now vacant. There Is such a de
mand for these kmall rooms In
THE BEE BUILDING
that they are seldom vacant long. When you rent an office In the He. nulld
Ins it means that you have your office address in the best building In Omaha.
The rental price Includes linht, heat and Janitor service. While thin Is not the
most comfortable weather In which to move. If you want one of these offices
you had better get It now, rather than take your chances later.
