Rev. E. Com' bie Smith of tha First Methodist Episcopal church officiated. The services were largely at tended by Membera of the Masonic order. Many mem bers of the Thurston Rifles, of which the deceased waa a veteran, having aerved In the Philippines, were in attendance also while numerous friends of the deccaeed. who were unable to gain admittance to the chapel, stood with bared heada upon the aldewalk surrounding tha building during the service. The body reposed In a black broadcloth casket, which was nearly hid from view by the floral offerings from friends. A large square and compass, the Masonic em blem, surmounted the whole. Rev. Smith preached a tender discourse, In which h alluded to the Christian train Ing of the deceased, who at one time waa a prominent and earnest member of tha First Methodist Episcopal church, and who later was associated also with the Young Men's Christian association in Chicago, being one of the officers.

CAUGHT IN HOTEL LOBBIES Traveler Tell of Their Observations In Different Parts of the Conntry. Rev. Henry Williams of Des Moines. istrlct secretary of the BsDtlst Board of Foreign Missions, Is In the city In the Interest of foreign missions. In res oonse to an Inquiry aa to the growth or decadence of missionary work In the foreign fields, he ssia: "I can apeak only of the Baptist mlsMon- ary work In foreign flelda. In 1814 we bad but two missionaries in the foreign field. Today we have 478. The missionary spirit is growing and the number of conventions mong the heathen is annusllv inrrenninv They crave western learning, and only our missionaries l mean those of all denom inations are teaching them, but they can- ot ao the subject Justice because thev have so much else to do. rurfn th Boxer uprising In China 12 missionaries gave up their Uvea and 40.000 native con verts were sacrificed to the Boxer hni nd fury. Still, the natives crave the gbspel of Christianity and are asking for more missionaries. During the list year H.000 converts were baptized through the Baptlat missions In foreign lands." Hon. Frank Currle. representative in the legislature from Dawea and adjacent coun tlea, was In the cltv over Sundav. a nut t the Merchants. He ald: "You know. of course, that the revenue bill has passed the house and I am of ths candid opinion that It will pass the senate all right. We hope to get through with the aesslon by April 10, although there Is much to do, and much that will be left undona because of tba limited time that remalaa to us." J. 8. Mercer, a prominent ranchman of the Big Horn basin, la In the city, loavlng the care of hla ranch to his sons. He said; "The reporta of the heavy losses of cattle In the basin during the winter are very much exaggerated. There baa been no losa but from natural causes. I think that the recent stories of the .sheep troubles up about Lusk. Wyo., and Hat Creek ere greatly exaggerated. Inatead of 600 of Mr. Btorrle's sheep being killed I am rather inclined to believe that tha number will be reduced to lesa thin 200. There alwaya will be more or less trouble between the sheep and cattle men In that section and In every section where the two interests come together. I do not know Just how the problem is to be solved, but It will adjust itself In time. Yes, there are thousands of sheep In the Big Horn country and they are damaging the ranges very perceptibly. We manage to keep tha cattlo ahead of them and thus do not suffer so much as in the districts where the aheip get ahead of the cattle." Judge Hazlett of Beatrice Is an Omaha visitor on law business. Of mattera in Beatrice he aaya: "Everything la politics, as usual, there, and the factions are aa bitter aa ever. As I do not live directly In the city, I am not particularly Inter ested. However, the liquor question Is golug to cut a strong figure In the cam paign. This with ths factional differences In tho dominant party and the effort to ae- cure an anti-election, promise for the city attorneyship, of which tha mayor has the giving out. Is ereatlng Iota of worry to the candidates. One faction want tha present city attorney, W.,7. Dorsey, re. talned and the other faction demands the appointment of Judge M. B. Davis to that office. Oh, It's a hot old time." NTEREST IN CITY OWNERSHIP nqnlrles for Information on the 8ub Ject Come from All Sections of the Country, How widespread the Interest Is in' the subject of municipal ownership is being strikingly illustrated by the lettera of In quiry being received by Victor Rosewater aa a consequence of his paper on "Muni cipal Electric Lighting Plants" at the re cent national convention held by tha Re form club at New York. "I have been getting requeata for copies of my paper and for my opinion on various aapects of the question from all aectlona of the coun try where the issue of private versua public service is up or in prospect. Last, week. for example, lettera came from Blngham t:r., N.- Y.. Bowling Green, Ky. Mount Hermoa, Mass., Wabash, Ind., Lincoln, Neb., and Frand Forks, N. D. this apart from newapaper clippings, marked papera and trade Journals. Municipal ownership sentiment ia certainly apreadlng, aa tha people put more study on tha subject."

NOW IT IS UP TO CENTRAL COMMITTEE Convention Gave It the rawer to Kill Vaeanelea Iteif nnd Old Com mittees Are to Meet Tonight. P. 8. Casey declared yesterday he would not accept the republican nomination for tax commissioner. In speaking of the mat ter before a number of friends Sunday forenoon and addressing a Bee reporter, Mr. Casey said: "It waa only sn hour be fore the meeting of the convention when I was apprised of the fact that I was to be nominated for tax commissioner. It Is true I was taken by surprise, but I told the committee thst I did not care to break Into politics." Continuing, Mr. Casey said he did not want the office and had made up his mind not to accept It. He Intends sending a formal notice to the chairman ot the republican city central committee today notifying the committee of hla withdrawal from the race. It will be up to tha central committee now to fill vaeanelea, aa the con vention gave the committee tha authority to do so. It was rumored on the streets last evening that Frits Sandwalt would decline to run for a member of the Board of Education, but no one seemed to know much about it. Mr. Sandwall waa not In clined to aay whether he would be a candi date or decline. There ia to be a meeting ot the new city central committee and the old committee at the office of City Attorney Murdock thla evening. At thla meeting the affairs of the old committee will be turned over to those chosen Saturday. Probably when the new committee organttea it will pro ceed at once to fill any vaeanelea on the ticket. All the republican candidates are so well known that an Introduction ia hardly needed. Both George Housraan and Jamea Phillips, nominated for councllmen from tho Fifth and Sixth wards respectively, are well known employes of packing com panies. For the Board of Education, R. C. Young, C. M. Rich and Frits Sandwall have been nominated. Young Is in the em ploy of a packing house. Rich is a member of a local coal Arm, while Sandwall owns one of the largest jewelry stores In the city. Since the refusal ot Mr. Casey to accept the nomination for tax commissioner the republicans are casting about for a suita ble candidate. John R. Schulti ia being favored, but Mr. Schulti said yesterday hs would not accept the position, as he In tended spending the greater portion of the spring and summer on hla farm at Arcadia. Aa for the democratic nominees, J. J. Fitzgerald has served two years and evi dently haa been satisfactory to the demo cratic party, else he would not have been renominated. t waa expected that Brod erlck and Queenan would be renominated, although they asserted they would keep out ot the convention. The democratic nomineea for membera ot yie Board of Education are: E. P. Roggin, formerly a republican; Stephen Vail, a leader In labor clrclea here, and John Schneider, who ia employed at one ot the packing houses. Mayor Koutsky will, according to law, Issue aa election proclamation ten daya be tore tha data of election, April ?. Protesting; Aaralnst Police Board. Copies of tha. resolution adopted by tha republican . city convention protesting against the passage of a bill now before tha legislature regulating the fire and po lice departmenta ot the city of South Omaha and providing for the appointment of a commission to look after these departmenta, have been prepared and will he sent to racn republican member of the legislature. The protest from the convention la supposed to voice the wishes of tba people. It la asserted that there la no need of paying three or five men a aalary to boss leas than three doien employes when tha work can be performed by the mayor without addi tional ccet to the city. In addition to send ing copies of the resolution to Lincoln it is understood that quite a number of tax payers will call persopslly at tha state house and urge that '.he bill be left In the hands of the committee and held back un til after adjournment. Mayor Will Sln. Mayor Koutsky said to a Bee reporter last night that he would sign ordinance No. 1120, tha atock Inspection ordinance. This ordinance provides for the appointment of an Inspector and defines tha duttea ot tha office. The appointment, however, la sub ject to confirmation by the council. As to naming an Inspector, the mayor stated that ha would have a week to consider this mat ter aa tha ordinance bad to bo published after ha had algned It. Hla honor declined even to intimate who ba would name for tha position. Magic City Gossip. A meeting of the Board of Education Is to be held tonight. J. J.

Three fires in the northeastern section of the city dur Ing lsst night caused a losa aggregating 1176,000. The greatest damage was to the Morocco works of Cooey, Costello Co., on Orthodox street, Brldesburg, which was almost completely destroyed. Loss, $100,000, Two men were arrested In connection with the fire, which partially destroyed the flint glssa worka or Mill ft Co. at Salmon atreet and Lehigh avenae, where $35,000 damage was done. Tha two men arrested are John Oaks, tha watchman, who was released on bis own recognisance, and George V. Capewell, who was held in $800 ball for a further hearing. Both men were charged with con. splracy. The third fire occurred at tha factory of Block Shaw, manufacturera ot smoking pipes, ou East York street. Conelderabla mystery surrounds the fire at this place At midnight a small lire In the building waa quickly extinguished by the firemen, and a few hours later flames were dls covered In another part of the place, which did damage to the extent of $40,000. The losa ia covered by insurance. Plso's Cure for Consumption has cured coughs for forty years. It la still ea the market. AT THE PLAYHOUSES "The Old HII Stream" at the Itoytl. Mr. Daniel Sully nnd his own comt-iny, In his latest plav. "The OKI Mill Stream, " a come.iy In three acts. The cnxt: Robert Kyan, better known as "i ncle Bnb" Daniel Pul'v Dick Flood, his nephew John T. Powers Sam Wllber, a young farmer IlnroM LiU'osta Gus Shultus, an old settler.. w. F. Kokman Abe Shultus, a young attorney Robert Btavlock Dr. Rufus Winnie the county physli tnn CO. Wallace Margaret Ryan, the district school teacher Auauxta True Lydia Winnie, the doctor's daughter.... .Ii"lle Lyle Gill Cooper, a child of the Catskilln Helen Young The peacemaker .The Haby Somebody must havo doped "The Old Mill Stream" Just before the getaway lost night, for it got out of lta course and capered around the paddock like a lamb on a warm April day. It took the hurdles like a bird, and the water Jump didn't seem to worry it at all. This was doubtless due to the ex cellent spirits In which Robert Ryan, the good old miller, found himself after he had contemplated In private the Intense satis faction he would derive from tha confound ing of the wiseacres of Mink Hollow, ' a proceeding which waa undoubtedly exhll crating In the extreme. Thla exuberance proved contagious, for it spread to others in the company, and the total result waa aa gingery a performance aa the new Sully play la likely to ever get. The large audi ence of Omaha admirers of Mr. Sully en tered fully Into the spirit of the occsslon and rewarded the efforts of the star and hla associates with much applause and were re paid with much occasion for honest mer riment, and some little incentive to Sober thought. Mr. Sully wan called before the curtain at the end of the second act, and in a very neat speech referred to his long continued coming to Omaha and the many fast friends he has made here, very plainly saying that some of these latter could go too swift for htm, and he doesn't consider himself a piker at that. Seriously, the piece is reminiscent of "The Corner Grocery" and "The Parish Priest." It has the good points ot both. In a quiet way It tells a very Interesting lit tle story, somewhat Involved, but one that works out to the satisfaction ot all and one that gives Mr. Sully an excellent opportun ity to preach nice little aermona to every body and to pose as an nll-'round bene factor from Benefactorsvllle. Hla methods are the quiet, earnest aort, and hla humor Is of th6 rich, ebullient type native to hla race. Mr. Kokman supplies tha German dialect which Mr. Sully finds necessary as a foil for hla Irish brogue, and doea It very well. Othera In the caat are quite equal to the requirements and the performance la as satisfactory aa the play la worthy. Vandevllla at the Crelghton-Orphenm. This week'a bill at the Crelghton-Or-pheum presents some novelties, and at ieaat one decidedly ambitious one. Tola Yberrl, jtha dancer, comes equipped with enough scenic effects to atock a five-set drama and the beauty of the whole affair ia that they ara most appropriate. With tha gld of the calcium light, the apectatora are taken from one country to another, Juat as Senorlta Yberrl moves from one national danca to another. Dissolving vlewa ara used, ao that a moat pleasing effect la produced, while the appropriate acena la known at tha right time, Egypt la represented by a view of a Theban temple, Japan by an en trance to g teg garden, Spain, by the fan dango, France by that well known painting, "La Bande Joyeuse," Germany by a pretty picture of maidens In music room, and the rest by classio statuary. The dancea themselves are given with appropiiato acenery for each, a miniature ataga being erected and tha acenery changed between each, while each dance la given in lta own proper costume. Senorlta Yberrla ia lithe and graceful, but r.fter a long aeries of Ori ental and fire dancera, among which the remembered La Loie and La Belle Rose, not to spesk of some of the buck and wing art ists Omaha haa aeen, the alow, classic pos turing of the present aspirant for publlo favor seems rather tame and waa appar ently ao regarded by the spectators yester day. On the whole, the bill runa to the athletic, and in thla regard it haa some excellent featurea. The Martlnettls, three men and a woman, do aome very clever umbllng, the great Auman doea a lot of work that is his own. and Prevost and Pre, voat mix aoma comedy with a lot of splen did acrobatic feats. Mr. and Mra. Jimmy Barry have a skit, "A Skin Game," which awakens lots ot laughter. Arthur Demlng is also on the bill. Talk Wires to Cobweb Mexico. MEXICO CITT, March 22. J.

NEBRASKA SHOWS UP WELL IN RETURNS Two Companies In Thla State Built Over Keventy-Three Mllea ot Sew Track Daring- ltst Cal endar Year. Last yesr waa the heaviest for railroad construction In the United States slnre 1888, according to the revised table published In the last Issue of Tha Railway Age, which aaya: In The Railway Age of January 2 last was published a table showing the number of miles of new railroad completed In the t'nlted States during the calendar year 1W2. At that time reporta had not been received from all lines, and we are now able to present the arcompanving revised table In which 136 miles are added to the t.bii miles hen reported bringing the total up to 5.i4 miles of track la 1.1 In 19"2 on 846 lines In torty-four states and territories. This Is the largest mileage built in one year since 1S8S, when 7,106 miles of line were completed, although It is but fourteen miles In excess of the figures reported for 1M. and it exceeds tha mileage of 1901 by 463 miles. The relative positions of tha states and territories, as given In our preliminary atatement, are not materially changed by the additions which have been made since the clone of the year, the Indian Territory standing first with 641 miles, Oklahoma second with M2 miles, Texss third with 40 miles and New Mexico fourth with XS miles. The new mileage in Arkansas Is In oressed to 342 miles, ami there are less im portant changes In several other states. The growth and development of three of the territories, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Indian Territory, which are candidates for statehood, is Indicated bv the fact that they built 1,431 miles of new railroad In 1902. which Is more than one-fourth of the totnl for the entire country. According to these figures the total rail road mllesge of the United States (main line otily) on January 1, 1903, was 204,471 miles. Track laid from January 1 to De cern per 31, No. Lines.
