TI1E OMAHA DAILY. BKEi MONDAY. MAHOH lfi. 1f03. DISCOUNTS BOY PREACHERS EeT.'jenks Sayi White-Haired Msn Should Occupy Pulpiti. EXPERIENCE OF YEARS IS REQUIRED Delivering- the Lord's Mnum Sot to lie I ndertaken by Thou W ho Have Xot Matured In Christianity. Rev. E.I win Hart Jcnks, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, took for his text yesterday morning, Phllllplana ii, 12: "Working Out Our Salvation." Hp said: "Salvation la not thn work of a day, hut of a lifetime. I' la not some chance de clalon, that may be reallied upon at a mo ment's choice. A man says: 'I would like to be a merchant,' and may presume that from the mere BBkinK that I: la desire Is ac complished with the Incidental accessories of his trade. But ask some successful merchant, and he will tell you that to reach success In mercantile affairs Involves long years of patient work, beginning at the very bottom of apprenticeship and climbing upward through the successive stages, be fore he can say 'I am a merchant.' It Is so with the professions, particularly that of the law and of the ministry. Before one Is fit to enter upon the career of a min ister he should have spent a lifetime In de votion and study. The men In the pulpits hould be the white-haired ones, whese Uvea have been spent In devotion and Chris tian work. What does a boy know about preaching? In the law, that king of pro fessions, a man must be drilled by years of study to reach the acme of his ambi tion. I mean the good, clean lawyer, not the pettifogger. " 'You must work out your jwn salva tion' says the apostle. It can only be ac complished by soul cultivation, by the ex perience of life. You have united with the church, but that Is only the beginning. It It like the crude ore. or the silkworm's co coon Is to the finished, burnished steel or flowing, beautiful silk. The true, devoted Christian Is the finished product of the avangcllat's or revivalist's convert. Every man must make the most and best of him self. It Is a case, of Individual responsi bility. Work out salvation for yourself. Aspire to become the best you are capable of. God wants man to make himself all he can." REV, MA!V IIAXISIIKS TIIK I1KVII,. Holds that ftatan Han Dren Cast Oot by Evolution. "The devil has been cast out by evolu tion," was one of the effective epigrams used by Rev. Newton M. Mann in his ser mon on "The Problem of Evil" at Unity church yesterday morning. "The old teaching," hj said, "had man perfect at the outset. The new teaching has him very crude. Incomplete at the beginning, and lowly, age by age, growing almost imper ceptibly. We must remember the depths from which he came and the height for which he Is destined. Man is climbing the stairs to heaven; not seeking to regain a lost Paradise. "If God la all powerful and created all things, why should He make Satan, wUh whom He must be engaged forever In con flict? If God Is all good, how can He be the source of bad? These are ques tions that never have been answered and never can he. The theory of Satan be longs to the teachings of other days. What Is good and what Is evil? We know that the world Is evil where man has dune noth ing for his own well-being, and that those surroundings are good thnt have been spe cially wrought out by human toll to swell the sum of human happiness. We aay that 'Man made the city but God made the town' yet statistics' show that the trend ll toward urban residence at the expense Of the rural territory. The Improved world that we have Is the result of the effort of ages. The perfect world Is a realized vision of an earthly paradise. Our early dreams of paradlBe generally consider an Improved paradise with walls and houses and paved ttreets paved regardless of cost. Un doubtedly never was the habitable world quite so Inhospitable as It was In the be ginning. We know that things are evil when they are unsuitable to our well-being. ' . "Is not the evil within us Inaptitude to aajust ourselves to the ordered conditions of life? The peaceful social conditions un der which we are living have been existent only a comparatively short time. War at best Is generally systematic, wholesale robbery.' Th further we go back the more of a marauder and thief we find man to be. It follows that through long ages these habits were so fixed that now under a uew order of things he la net able to emancW pate himself from these Instinct- That has become sin which before was. not sin." NOBLES 1089 POSSIBLE FOR ANYONE. KT. Reynolds Insists it Is Easy of i Attainment. At Caatellar Street Presbyterian church Sunday evening the pastor, Walter H. Reynolds, preached on the theme, "Great Nobleness Possible to Any Who Will Have It." Ha said, In substance: "Great nobleness Is possible to the least gifted believer. The Bible says, "His di vine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain to life and godliness.' Wao soever you are that hear this, would you be free from all that Is Ignoble and attaiu to high glory and vlrtuo, then deliberately use the means which have been provided freely in this bestowal of the 'all things' God's word thus promises you. Do not watt for feeling, but obey the promptings of an enlightened mind and will to do His will. If you want to do God's will, but have not yet taken your place with His people In His church as a member, we be seech you by the mercies of God to seek to do so- at once. May God bless you, and In humble prayer we sty It, may you bless God; may you confess His name." CON LEY SEE UHEAT OPPORTUNITY. Is Hopeful for First llaptlst Church's I'odrrt akt n(. Anent the commencement work upon the new edifice which will be erected by the members of the First Baptist church, Rev. J. W.' Conley delivered to a large congre gation Sunday morning an interesting ser mon bearing upon the Immense undertak ing which confronts the church, and also the field which the new church will oc cupy when it la located upon the new site. "Today we have a united and harmoni ous church.- the pastor said. "We have been led In providential manner to aecure a site midway between the two old sites. It Is very rare that a church can take so Important a step so unitedly as we can to ri' t iinT'il A Novel Composition in a Novel Form GORHAM Silver Polish The result of years of experiment Cleans gold, river and cut glass All responsible -.ntsa nackaga jewelers keep It s c,n " 1 day. We feel the Inadequacy of this old building. We cannot here do the work that is demanded., We are now In the midst of great financial prosperity. It Is our time to act. Our new site la located In a territory unoccupied by churches. Take the territory between Twenty-aixtb and Fortieth streets and Leavenworth and Cuming streets, and there is not a Pro testant church in this entire section, ex cept All Saints' church and St. Msry's, In the extreme oast. Here is a portion of the city well populated and representing all classes of society, destined to have the largest growth In the near future of any part of the city. We propose to build our new church at a point easily accessible from all parts of -this territory. Now Is the time to enter this field and occupy It. "The magnitude of our enterprise Is seen In two ways, In the worV itself and in the resources for 'Its accomplishments. The latter are almost exclusively within the membership of our own church. There are conditions where church can appeal to the general community for aid and find a generous response. But that condition does not exist In Omaha- today, This Is an opportunity of a lifetime. It Is putting money where It will go on for years, pos sibly for centuries. In doing the Lord's work." ; , WHAT TO DO WITH THE MOXEY. Itev. Eeelea Says to Subordinate it to Moral Precepts, Dr. Kerr Eccles, paatftr ef Immanuel Baptist church, preached on the "Impos sibility of Serving Two Masters." Tak ing for his text, "Ye Cannot serye God and Mammon." Matthew, vl, I,' he ''said: "Mammon, In the abstract sense, Is money and Its attendant power.. Money Is not mammon when the amassing of il is not the result of or does not fesult In selfish mo tives. The tendency Of money-getters Is to use it for the selfish advancement of their own desires, either physical or men tal. So long as there U the least connec tion In one's mind between money and what It will buy of pleaaure and power, Just so long is it mammon. ' "If a person bend his efforts toward the getting of money and subordinates moral precepts to this end he cannot expect to serve God at the same time. An Idol Is an idol whether It be great or small, good or poor, to look Upon or carved la any like ness. It la a something made by man, and man should dot praise or worship 'that which be has done.- "It Is right that each man should lay aside for himself enough wealth for him self and for the children who come after htra that they may not suffer from the in fluences of those who worship mammon. But the Idea Of money being the master, the driving force behind the will. Is heret ical. God should be the master, and money merely the servant. Then does money at tain the end for .which it was originally produced. It Is a medium of. exchange or barter and not a power. , "Remember thts well, subordinate money to the moral precepts and make It an ac cessory to lite, , and Dot a necessity and you will not be serving mammon." How to Break I'D Cold,. It may be a surprise to our readers to learn that a severe cold can In many in stances be completely broken up In one or two days' time. To do this, however, prompt action Is necessary. The first symp toms of a cold are a dry, loud cough, a profuse watery discharge from the nose and a thin white costing oil the tongue. If Chamberlrln's Cough' Remedy Is taken in double doses every hour after the first ap pearance of these symptoms It will counter act the effect of the cold and restore the system, to a healthy condition within one or two days' time. In almost every case,, and when the cold Is not completely cured. In this time Its seterlty will be greatly leas sped an(J a complate sure Insured In s very short time. When no action toward curing the cold Is taken the dry, . loud cough Is followed by a profuse watery expectoration and that by a difficulty In breathing, a peculiar tightness of the chest and a slight expectoration of very tough and tenacious mucus'. Few persons pay any attention to A cold until In thla con dition that Is, until the cold has become settled In the system. ' The first action should be to relieve, the lungs. This Is beat accomplished by the free use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This rem edy liquifies the tough mucus and causes Its expulsion from the air cells of the lungs, produces a free expectoration and opens the secretions. A complete cure soon follows. In some cases, however, several days are required, but the experience of thousands of persons In the use of this remedy has been that it will cure a severe cold in less time than any other treatment and that It leaves the system In a natural and healthy condition. MUNGER TO LEAD HUNTERS Federal Jadge and. Frlenda Are Near Clarks for Week's ' Shooting. Judge W, H. Munger of the United States district court. Attorney Myron L. Learned, George H. Thummell, clerk of tho United States circuit court, and Henry Homan, deputy United States marshal, left Sunday afternoon for Clarks, Neb., where they will spend a week hunting. Judge H. J. Davis will Join the party later In the week. The high water In the Platte river makes the party feel certain of good shooting, but uncertain as to where It will stay dur ing the visit to the river. It was Intended to go Into camp on ono of the Islands near Clarks, but It Is said that the island Is now so nearly covered with water that the plana may have to be changed. Homeseekers and Colonists.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Poor Prosptot of Twenty-Fourth Street Paving Repair MAYOR SAYS CITY'S HANDS APE TIED No Money In Fond to Pay for the Work and Hence No Authority to Order It Done Masclo City final I p. "It Is the same old story," said Mayor Koutsky yesterday to a Bee reporter,, when the question of repairs to the pavement on Twenty-fourth street was brought up. "The city has no money to pay for repairs at thts time. It was only last fall that the city paid out 11,600 for filling holes with concrete and then sheeting them over with asphalt. This pavement wears out so rap Idly that It costs the city more to keep it In repair than it would to pay interest on a large Increase In the bonded In debtedness." Continuing, the mayor said he guested the people who travel the street would have to worry along for some time to come without any decided Improvement. "As long as there is no money on hand we cannot make improvements," said the mayor. A glance at the monthly report of the city clerk shows that there Is but a small sum remaining In the street repair fund. Under the charter no contracts can be let where there ia no money In sight to pay for the work and consequently the street from A to N will be left In its present condition until there Is money available for the necessary repairs. Some have sug gested that a layer of vitrified brick be laid over the present pavement, but en gineers say that one layer will not hold and that what Is needed Is an entirely new pavement to be laid under a guarantee. From the present outlook nothing can be done to Improve the condition of this street unless the property owners get together and sign a petition for a new paving. C'ltr Council Tonight. A regular meeting of the city council will be held tonight. It Is expected that four or five grading ordinances will be reported favorably on, and that these or dinances will be placed upon second and third readings and passed. The mayor will sign the ordinances as soon as passed in order that contracts may be let and the work of grading Commenced as soon as the frost is out of the ground. Then there is the stock Inspector ordinance, which seems to be worrying a great many people. The Judiciary committee Is due to report on this ordinance tonight and it may go through the second and third reading the same as the grading bills. When it comes to the mayor's signature, however, .that may be different. The mayor will Insist that he name the Inspector, and In case tho council will not agree to this a veto probably will be sent In. . Mayor Koutsky said that he removed the former stock ex aminer and he holds that it Is his priv ilege to appoint a man for the place when ever he deems it necessary. It seems to be the understanding that no bills will be allowed tonight. Some damage claims will be read and will be referred to the city attorney for a report. Ko Change of Grade. Slnee the excavating for the South Omaha public library has commenced there. seems to be a- general regret that there was no change In the grade of M street made be fore the surveyor set the stakes. - An ef fort was made soon after the library board purchased the site to have a cut made In M street, at the intersection of Twenty third street, but. as some of the property owners east of Twenty-third street objected snd claimed damages ' ths matter was dropped. If any change is made now It will have to be rts.de. quickly, as 'the ex cavating' will be Completed this week. The great drawback to the present plans will be when It comes to paving M. street from Twenty-third street to Twenty-fifth street. An engineer aald yesterday that those who are now opposed to the change of grade will be surprised when the street Is paved. Quantities of material arrive almost dally for the foundations for the library and the foundations will be set Just as soon as the temperature will permit of the laying of cement. School Board Meets. An adjourned meeting of the Board of Ed ucation Is billed for tonight. One of the features pf tho meeting will be the p sentatlon of a petition from residents In the southeast portion of the city asking that the name of Albright school be changed to Madison school. There seems to be little objection to this and It Is possible that the redtiest may be granted. That bill for painting and some other repairs to build-' tags probably will come up, but the ma jority Jf the members seem to think that the session will be a halfway peacable one. Sella Fnraltare Store. . ' The W. a. Sloane Co. furniture store at Twenty-fourth and M streets was sold Saturday. to the Home Furniture company. The latter is an Incorporated institution and will assume charge of the store and Its contents today. G. F. Olbbs of Omaha is secretary and treasurer of the company and will act as manager.

Scarcely more than a month ago The Be chronicled a series of events that appeared to make It certain that the fates were suddenly turned against George E. Palmer and that he had no more cheering outlook than the prospect of becoming a lonesome toller with few Joys and only one change of shirts. But the Indications were wrong and the fates are still with the gentleman, apparently, for friends here have received word that he has married again, and, it Is surmised, has married "well" which latter term, of course. Is understood to compre hend good family .and a hank account. Details have not been received, but the friends In question have had Information enough from the dainty cards sent by Mrs. Alice Van Etta Smith of Coronado, Cal., "announcing the marriage of her daughter Blanche to Mr. George E. Palmer, Febru ary 28," etc., etc. These friends concede that the celerity of Mr. Palmer's movements rather dates them, but aver that they rejoice in his new felicity, nevertheless, and stand firm In their affection for. him. . The cards received are very smart af fairs; the bride's mother has as many sec tions In her name as anyone short of a German ambassador could possibly wish; Coronado is a swell place, where none but the wealthy can afford to stay lonj?r than for two meals and altogether Mr. Palmer's friends seem not without good reason for believing that he has prospered. It Isn't Ihe first time Mr. Palmer has prospered. Just a few years ago he was In the employ of packing companies In Omaha at a salary so modest It blushed at the telling. Then came Mrs. E. Jessie Salle, whose husband had left her much mining property at Cripple Creek and Idaho Springs, and the fates found her an affinity In Mr. Palme In a very short time. After they were married they were in Omaha awhile, then In Minneapolis and went even tually to Kanas City, where Mr. Palmer, having ceased to act as manager of the Lord Byron mine at Idaho Springs, owned by Omaha men, invested in fancy stock and made great displays at various hore shows with one result, thnt he was to have been Invited to act as Judge at the coming show in Omaha. Then -Mrs.-Palmer died and later came the crash. Creditors, unable to secure prompt settlements, began pressing their claims in a legal wsy, and Palmer aban doned his Wornall farm and departed from the Missouri metropolis, bag and baggage. Attachments previously sued out held prac tically everything but this Impedimenta nd his friends here feared it was all up with Mr. Palmer. Mrs. Smith's cards are practically their first Intimation to the contrary. GRADING OF TWENTY-FOURTH Board of Edncatlon Likely to Recon sider the Matter at Tonight's . . Meeting.' Representatives of the Southwest Im provement club are expected to appear be fore the Board of Education tonight and urge that the action taken at the last meeting In refusing to sign a petition ask ing for a change of grade on Twenty-fourth street south of Leavenworth be reconsid ered, it-appears that unless the Improvers get the signature of the board fcr the front age of the-Mason school property they can not secure signatures for a majority front age. They want. the change of grade be cause the street railway company has prom ised to build an x tension on South Twen ty-fourth Streei1f At Is made. There Is a strong. opposition!. faction among the prop erty owners interested, and they too will be represented, at: the board meeting and urge that the previous action, stand un changed. ' '; e City Attorney Connell said yesterday that he saw ni reason wty the signatur of the board In order to make a majority pe tition would invalidate the proceeding. "The board Is- to bs regarded in the same light as a corporation," he asserted, "and If a majority of the members order the sec retary to sign - the petition the action is regular and proper, even though this sig nature is the last needed to make the peti tion effective. Because school property Is involved does not make the proposition any different than though it were private prop erty." Kip Them In the Bad.

ONE TALKS RANGE CATTLE AND HORSES Another Discusses Preparations Being; Made at St. Louis for the Dedi cation of the Louisiana Pur chase Rsnoaltlon. Lee H. Devlne, one of the superintend ents of the Cary Bros.' ranch on the Lit tle Missouri, In the northwest corner of South Dakota, Is In the city, stopping at the Merchants. He says: "The range cat tle and horses In' that section have win tered finely. There has been very little snow there. We have had to feed only the younger calves. We have had abun dant hay for the purpose. We catch our worst storms there from about now until April 15. As soon as I return we will be gin the spring roundup of the horses. The sheep men are beginning to drift Into that section from Wyoming. The sheep bother the little cattlemen mostly. There has been some little trouble. The sheep men and a few cattlemen owning small herds came together, and the sheep were fired Into and twelve killed, and the sheep herd ers were ordered out of the country. Some settlers are coming In, and they are fencing up the springs, which Is making It hard for the cattle to get water. I guess the free range Is doomed, and there will be little of It left a few years from now." Speaking of range horses, Mr. Devlne said: "There Is a great demand for them for polo ponies. A man came out to our ranch to buy forty or fifty. He was from New York. He was sure stuck on our cat tle ponies that were broken. He offered us any price for them. But when a cowboy ha got his little old buckskin pony trained, no money could buy him. This New Yorker offered me $.100 for my old skate that I have ridden for twelve years." Charles L. Fritsch of St. Louis Is In the city, and is enthusiastic over the approach ing dedication of the Louisiana Purchase exposition. He says: "The city of St. Ixiule Is already crowded with visitors looking at the exposition grounds In the preparatory stages. There are hosts of people brought there, too, by the expec tancy of securing employment at the grounds. The Industrial building Is already under roof, and It covers about ten acres. The Agricultural building will be finished by September 1. The dedication ceremo nies will take place April 30, and big preparations are being made for the event. About 3,000 regular troops and 10,000 Na tional guards will participate In the pa rade. President Roosevelt and other nota bles will be there. On May 1 will occur International day, which will also be a big affair. In June will come the National Saengerfeet; that Is to be another big event. A 2,000-room hotel is being built near the exposition grounds, and local cap italists are putting up a $1,500,000 hotel In the city that will be finished in time for the exposition next year." J. B. Owens of Wayne, Neb., is an Omaha visitor. Of affairs up about Wayne, he says: "The winter has been very good to us. There has been no loss of cattle, and much feeding is being done this winter. Approximately, 200 cars of cattle will be shipped from Wayne alone before the ship ping season closes. The elevator men are offering but 24 and 25 cents for corn, but the farmers are holding for 30 cents. We have been suffering some from car short age, but not as much as other localities. Some excitement prevails up about Wayne and Winslde over recent encouraging de velopments In some gold mines In which Wayne county people are Interested. The stock recently sold for 12, 20 and 25 cents, but is now quoted at par. The mine Is lo cated somewhere near Deadwood, S. D. Some of the officials of the company were here a few days ago to meet Omaha and eastern investors holding stock In the mine." R. L. Applebee of Virginia, Neb., was In Omaha yesterday, and said: "The sletpy old town of Virginia has wakened up won derfully during the past few days over the certainty of the building of the Kansas City, Beatrice and Western railway from Virginia to Beatrice. The survey Is al ready completed, and work will begin on grading and track laying as soon as the season opens enough to permit the work. The road will later be projected from Beat rice In the direction of Grand Island, and will pass through the richest part of Gage county, some of which has no railway fa cilities at present. The new road will con nect with the Missouri Pacific, which -has Its present terminus at Virginia, and ex tends to Kansas City. Virginia is tfut fif teen miles from Beatrice." Teachers Meet In April. TECUMSEH, Neb., March 15. (Special.) The Southeastern Nebraska Teachers' as sociation will hold Its annual meeting In this city Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 2, 3 and 4. Included In the associa tion are the counties of Cass, Otoe, Ne maha, Richardson, Pawnee, Lancaster and Johnson. A big meeting Is looked for. Charge Driver Tilth Einbeaslrment. W. F. Cook, who has been employed as a driver for the H-nnett store, was locked up yesterday and will be tried on a charge of embeszlement. Shortly after the holi days the theft Is alleged to have been com mitted. Cook is said to have been given $30 with which to make change and while on his rounds to have collected at lcaet $16 more. Neither of these amounts was turned In and Cook, after taking his horse and wagon Into the barn, disappeared, 'the amount was too small to make an ex tended search for the man worth while, but a watch woe kept on the house of his mother, at -314 North Twenty-fourth street. South Omaha, with the Idea that he would eventually return there. This proved to b? the case and he was arrested by a South Omaha officer and detained until Policeman Tlvk could go for him. without in any way injuring the fabric.
