Fight For.
Iter. Newton M. Mann, at Unity church
y!nterdy mornlnij, took ' War" for ills
topic .ind mild, In part:
Memorial day, Juat raaaed, suesis
topic for our Sunday reflection. The an
nual tribute or flowers la but a faint and
sentimental reflection of the aubatantlal re
membrance continually made to those who
died In the service of thla country. The
honoring of military heroes la a thing that
needs to be very carefully differentiated
from the glorification, of war.
"War la always a mode of barbarism.
Justifiable only when Inevitable. They only
glorify war who dellKht In seeing a hell
upon earth. When war Is on. the con
fusion of Ideas la so complete that one
cannot venture to express sympathy for
wounded, starving and bereaved people
without being sunpected of disloyalty. This
is one of the moral horrors of war. In
time of war the necessity arises of killing
a lot of people, but this necessity ought
not to make the killing In Itself seem any
the less hideous, and It Is the last thing
the victors ought to gloat over. '
"War Is a barbarism and In honoring
those who risk their lives In it we are not
bound to honor war or to refrain from
denouncing It as a terrible and hateful
thing. Most wars have been needless and
waged merely to gratify,, the ambitions of
wicked men, to whom the slaughtering of
thousands was of slight consequence.
"War Is a calamity like an earthquake,
tornado or some fell disease to be met with
Such composure and courage as san be
mustered. We hear about glorious war, but
the fact Is only the warrior Is glorious and
Ms glory lies In going Into supreme peril
at the command of duty. I believe that
the general verdict of those competent to
Judge Is that the Mexican war was morauy
unlustlflable, but that ought not to detract
from our appreciation of the men who
fought In It, The nature of the cause for
which war la waged does have consider
able bearing on the dignity of the service
rendered. We have a reverence for .!
soldiers of the Revolution and the Civil
war that we have not for the men who
fought In our other wars.
"Had Robert E. Lee been born In Mas
sachusetts Instead of Virginia, his name
might have been the most honored In his
tory. His being a confederate was a mere
accident of locality. Still It has been, and
is. difficult for us to honor the soldiers
arrayed against us. The difficulty Ilea In
separating in our thought herolo devotion
from the cause to which that devotion was
given. When we fully learn this we shall
havo flowers for the confederate as well
as for other soldiers' graves.
"War is the Calvary where heroism Is
Impaled, In obldence to a cruel necessity
to pay soma debt of sin."
of the church have been enthusiasts and It
Is ve-y plain that without this spirit the
church of God cannot progress and cannot
endure."
SARROW AU STRAIGHT PATH.
Rev. Io Bays It la Easy to Travel
Wrong Road.
In speaking from the pulpit of the Knox
"Presbyterian church Sunday morning. Rev.
M. reWltt Long took for his subject the
question. "Why the Difficult Wsy?" Quot
ing from the gospel by-St, Matthew,, he
said the hard way la the good way; It Is
narrow and straight, and the wrong way
Is wide and easy. Rev. Mr. Long said, In
part:
"Even as children It Is far easier for us
to do those things which are not good for
us. It Is strange, but the easiest things
that we can do are Invariably the wrong
things, and to do right we are forced to
do those things In which we find the least
pleasure. Why Is 1t that the road to suc
cess leads ever upward and that to failure
Is the downward and easy path? Activity
la the law of enjoyment. Not one man In
four succeeds as he would in this world
and that Is because of slothfulness. True,
we find those who have been pressed down
and held back by circumstances of which
they are not the masters, but these are the
exceptions ind far from being the rule.
"Right living may be hard, but It leads
to life. Do you understand what that really
means, or must we still preach of the here
after, with its hell fire, and portray satan
as a being with cloven hoofs, a forked tall
and horns growing from his head. Our
religion should be one of hope and not of
fear. In medieval times we Inspired fear
for the good of religion, but now there is
that promise of reward and the difficult
way is a means to the end.
"That hope of an after life should be
like a cable fastened to some faraway
star, drawing us ever forward. If we hitch
our wagon to a star and the cable is not
strong enough to draw us on; that Is, If
circumstances are our masters, then we
may feel that the trial that we have mads
Is to count for us and that the way to the
after life Is as easy as If the (able had not
parted. Life In this world consists of try
ing to do as we should under all circum
stances. If we fall because of untoward
events It Is not our fault, but our misfortune."

Sick Headache.
Watch for the first Indication of an at
tack and as soon as you feel It coming on
take three of Chamberlain's Btomach 2nd
Liver Tablets and the attack may be
warded off. Mr. George E. Wright of New
London, New York, says: "For several
years my wife was troubled with what
physicians called sick headache of a very
severe character. ' She doctored with sev
eral eminent physicians arid at a great ex
pense, only to grow worse until she was
unable to do any kind of work. About a
year ago she began taking Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver ."Tablets and today

ENTHUSIASM THE! GREAT FORCE.
So Declares Rev. Miller at Konntsa
Memorial Chnrch.
- Rev. A. C. Miller, D. D., of Plymouth, O.,
preached at Kountze Memorial church yes
' terday morning and again In the evening.
Dr. Miller Is understood to be a candidate
for the recently vacated pulpit. He Is a
, man somewhat past middle age and has a
pleasing and effective manner of delivery,
)I1 morning sermon, although heard by a
congregation made small by tha rain, was
warmly approved by as many a spoke
their vtews about It after the services.
Pr. Miller declared that the great need
of the church of Christ today Is enthusiasm.
Ills discourse was a plea or Intensity and
earnestness of spirit among the people and
the clergy and in argument of such motor
sources. His text he took from the gospel
. according to St. Mark: "And the multl
tude ccmeth together again, so that they
could not so much as eat bread. And
when His friends heard of It, they went
out to lay hold 6n Him, for they .said. Ha
is beside Himself."
"It Is seen that Jesus was declared mad
In His day," said Dr. Miller. "The people
were willing to have Him do good. Indeed,
they desired Him to do good, but they did
i.ot want Him to do it so earnestly, so In-1
tensely, so strenuously. They declared
Him mad because of the enthusiasm of His
spirit. The same tendency on the part of
the world exists today has always ex
isted.; The sublimely earnest are discred
ited and to them are applied terms which
question their sanity and Intellectual bal
ance. 'There are very few In any of our
churches who are accused of madness to
day because of an excess of enthusiasm
for Christ. But I say that If the spirit of
enthusiasm Is extinguished In the pulpit
and In the pew the end of the kingdom
et God en earth ia at hand.
"History shows us that all great and
Incisive reforms have been worked by
great tides of emotion, when men were
enthused Into a state of self-effacement
and forgetfulness and lived and cared for
principle and cause alone. There are two
unanswerable pleas tor enthunlasm; the
first Is Its utter reasonableness and the
second Ite success. There Is no fear of too
much enthusiasm. No matter how much
fuel wo throw upon the flames there are
always many others ready to throw on
water. It has grown to be a recognized
truth that little worth doing can be done
without enthusiasm. All the great captains

FOR HEROES BURIED AT SEA
Impressive Ceremoates at River Bank
by Grand Army and Relief
Corps.
One of the most Interesting and lmpres
slva Incidents of the Memorial services was
that observed yesterday afternoon In strew
ing flowers upon the waters In memory of
the soldier and sailor dead burled at sea.
Details of Crook. Custer and Grant posts
and their Woman's Kellef oorps assembled
at the foot of Douglas street, under the
bridge, and carried out this beautiful cere
mony In accordance with the ritual re
cently adopted by the National Woman's
Relief Corps. The women participating in
the ceremony were Mrs. J. E. Hough, pres
ident of Crook Woman's Relief Corps; Mrs.
JT. F. Rhodes of Crook corps, Mrs. Dries
bach of Custer corps, Mrs. Belknap and
several others of Crook, Custer and Grant
corps. .
The services opened with prayer by Rev.
H. O. Crocker, following which those pres
eni sang .Nearer My God, to Thee." Dr,
R. M. Stone of Grant post followed with
a short address In which he said Decora
tlon day had originated with women Imme
diately following the close of the civil war,
ana nas since grown Into a national ob
servance. He told then of the origin of
this beautiful custom of strewing flowers
upon the waters In memory of the soldier
ana sailor dead burled at sea, which also
originated with a woman. Mrs. Carrie M
Peters of Rawlins Woman's Relief Corps
of Beatrloe, Neb. The Ceremony was first
observed at her suggestion in the year ISM
In memory of Sergeant George Geddes of
company j, lrgt Nebraska Volunteers,
who died at sea, while the regiment was en
route to the Philippines from San Fran
cisco, june ax, is, and was burled the
following day about midway between San
Francisco and the Hawaiian Islands. The
burial was conducted by then Major John
. Dioiaenourg. and the Quartet of -nm.
pany L, Thurston Rifles of Omaha sang for
ceremonies ' M-.eaa Kindly Light."
ins iouowing year, on Decoration d.v
at the suggestion of Mrs. Peters, flowers
were sent from Beatrice to San Francisco
to be strewn on the waters of the Pacific
ocean at the Golden Gate, In memory of
wi uruu roeorasKa Doy. The cercmniw
atrewlng the flowers was committed to the
care of Lincoln Woman Relief Corps No
1 of San Francisco, and was performed at
in. vim xiouse witn tne most Impressive
ceremonies. Since that time the ceremony
has been observed with each succeeding
Decoration day. In 1900. a member of Lin

Honolulu, took with her a box of flowers
and on Decoration day of that year scat

WASHINGTON IS INVESTIGATED
Mem from Whom He Borrowed Mo...
Waat Proof of Hla
Ideatlty.
J. E. Washington, who says he Is a r.ttl.

Is held at the police station while rh. rJH
investigating to And out whether
he la the man he claims to be and If ha
made a number of small loans from Omaha
ana rsoutn umaha persons in good faith.
Washington gave It out that he was re-
turning from Canada, where he had taken
a big bunch of cattle to pasture. He Is
said to have touched up several stockmen
for loans ranging from $10 to (46 and stayed
at tne raxton hotel, which Is still short
remuneration for hla board. The head of
tne t lato Commission company of South
Omaha became suspicious of Washington,
as the latter was trying to make a loan.
It being surmised that he was not entitled
io ine name arra habitation which he
claimed. An Investigation resulted hi his
arrest and the reimbursement of several
aeotors. utners. however, are anxious to
learn further facts concerning Colonel
Washing to.
President Burt of the Union Paclfto will
meet representatives of the striking ma
chinists und blacksmiths .today to discuss
plans for settlement unless all arrange
ments are changed. No hour hod been set
for the conference up to late last night, but
a representative of the company said It
was the purpose of the president to meet
the men sometime during the day. Super
intendent McKeen of tins motive power de
partment will also participate In the con
ference. The machinists' entire International and
district boards and the blacksmiths' presi
dent and committeemen are here; at least
all were In the city last night save Presi
dent John Blocum of the blacksmiths and
he was expectid any lime.
The previous settlement of the boiler
makers with President Burt in New Tork
adds a certain peculiar interest, to tha con
ference to begin tol.TT. Certain lirovlalc ns
of the terms arrived at between the com
pany and the boiler maker are not en
tirely aatlsfactory to the other crafts and
this fact, therefore, will have Its effect. It
Is noticeable on the eve of their meeting
with President Burt and Mr. McKeen that
the labor representatives and officials of
the company are tndlspo?d to discuss Is
sues. They take the position that It Is too
delicate a time for public discussion of
private matters.
We want peace and any dlscussi m at
tills time of our plans or differences could
have no good results and might have very
bad results," said an official of one of the
crafts yesterday.
Ae to Noaaaloa Employes.
It has been stated, however, that the
company would be urged to discharge all
Its present machinists, boiler makers and
blacksmiths. This Is one point tha boiler
makers did not hold out on, taking the
view that this question would "work nut
Itself In due time." Like the boiler makers.
the machinists and blacksmiths will con
tinue their stand against piece work. The
terms of settlement with the boiler makers
provide that no man shall wor by the
piece unless he so desires.
The men who are to meet the Union
Paclfto officials are:
'International executive boad, machinists.

Ferris Stock Coanpaay at the nyd.
Last evening the Ferris Summer Stock
company began the fifth week of Its sea
son at the Boyd with no apparent falling
off In attendance, if receipts at tho box
office are to be taken as an evidence of
popularity, the present stock company Is
the best that ever happened In Omiha.
And by the same token, If measured by
any other'standard, it will average up well
with Omaha's slock companies of the past.
The bill last night was Hartley Campbell's
"Oalley Slnve," a production of that gifted
writer of melodrama at a time when he was
In the aonlth of his powers. It bears the
true ring, with Ite deep vein of tragedy,
Ite eteady flow of humor as an antidote
for the sombreness of Its true plot, and
the happy ending that sets everything right
and makes everybody glad he came, nnd
it has that distinct flavor of the true drama
which so genuinely distinguishes the melo
drama of the past from the rubbish that
parades today under the title. Mr. Slddms
finds in the role of Sidney Norcott a splen
did opportunity for his powers as a ro
mantlo hero actor, and dees the work ex
tremely well. Mr. Long Is the essential
foil, as Baron- Du Bols, and by his con
scientious efforts last night earned several
rounds of energetic hisses. Miss Pavey
gives to Cicely Blaine a dignity and sweet
ness of manner that well becomes an Amer
ican girl. The very trying scene wherein
the hero Is trapped by the villain In the
heroine's chamber, and proclaims himself
a burglar rather than cast a stain on the
honor of the woman he loves, was most
effectively worked up. Other stirring sit
uations were also given with a dash that
won much applause. The piece Is most ap
propriately staged, too, the setting of the
first act, a Venetian scene, being partic
ularly good.
"The Galley Slave" will be tha bill until
after Wednesday, when "A Night of Frol'c"
will be put on.

SOCIAL DEMOCRACY OF WEST
What - Experloae Has Taught an
Obsorver of tha True West
ern Spirit.
OMAHA, May a. To the Editor of The
Bee: A person coming from the east, where
a stricter observance of the stereotyped
rules of polite society is practiced. Is sur
prised and. at first, somewhat shocked at
the informality of western manners, and
the apparent terms, of equality on which
men and families treat each other. In the
small country towns of the west beyond
the Missouri river we see the evidences
of this common level amongthe people; no
distinctions existing, socially, by reason of
different occupations or differences In pe
cuniary or other conditions.
This Is, naturally, the primitive or pio
neer condition of society, and In the best
sense and broader view this ' social condl
tlon raises men and women to a really
high plane of social, life. When a new tar
rltory is first settled by people, coming.
as has usually been the case In this coun
try, from different states and countrlts,
the spirit of interdependence predominates,
The people meet and greet each other
though but yesterday strangers with the
feeling that they are bound together some
what as soldiers are by ties of patriotic
sentiment and common fellowship and in
toreet, and that they are enlisted to, battle
together In a common cause. They are
willing to give, for the common good, the
best that Is In them, to the end that the
settlement or coIobk may be a success, and
they feel .great pride and satisfaction In
what Is accomplished to establish and
maintain Its prosperity by either Individ
ual or collective effort. In such a young
community . the auburn-headed Irishman,
who, when In the . "old country" savagely
hated every "Johnnie Bull" In the king
dom, sheds all his long nurtured animosity
almost unconsciously, as the serpent sheds
his skin, and greets the Englishman with
a hard but kindly slap on the back, and
a resonant "How air ye me bay," at every
meeting.
We have spent a considerable time since
1R8 In travel over the trans-Mtssourl west,
especially in Nebraska, Kansas and Colo
rado, and . have- been observant of this
spirit of mutual kindness and regard that
everywhere prevails amongst the country
The dead of the Royal Arcanum were re
membered yesterday afternoon by an Im
press! vo memorial service at Kountze
church. It was held under the auspices ot
Union Pacific council No. 1069 and seldom
has-there been a more beautiful tribute to
departed brothers by a fraternal order In
Omaha. Tha lower auditorium of the large
church was filled with sympathising mem
bers of the1 order and their friend and
wives. The pulpit was banked with Im
mense potted palms. Red and white tar
nations lent color to the green that almost
obscured the speakers and presiding officer
from the view of the congregation. Tender
eulogies, general In character, were deliv
ered by E. M. Bartlett, .A. Hugh Hippie
and Rev. T. J. Mackay.
Organist J. H. Blmms played Chopln"s
Funeral March" as a fitting prelude and
the ceremonies were begun by Regent
Howard Bruner, who spoke briefly and
requested Secretary H. B. Morrill to read
the roll of the absent brothers. The sec
retary did so, Guide F. W. Robinson an
swering the pathetic "absent" as the Indi
viduals of the following roster were called:

composed of Miss Barr, Miss Porterfleld,

Haverstock. An Invocation was asked by

with great beauty the song, "One Sweetly

Heroes of Every Day.
"Yesterday," said Brother E. M. Bart
lett, "we strewed flowers on the graves of
the heroes who died on the altars of thelt
country who gave up their lives that we
might enjoy the blessings of a free gov
ernment. These heroes well deserved the
honors done to their memories. But the
heroes are not alone among the soldiers.
the authors and the statesmen. The
heroes whose memories we are speaking
of today were, like those among us. In
every walk of life, and this hour reminds
us what Is felt toward this class of men.
"It Is the man who takes his loved one
to the altar and plights his faith that he
will stand by and protect her, the man
whose conduct through his life is such
that It occasions no reproach on the little
Vtolncra whom he has brought Into this
world. And the hero whom we speak ot
today Is the one who made It a point to
protect and provide his family from the
future and whose first thoughts were al
ways of the loved ones at home."

the hundreds of thousands, are to. be
found In the young towns and neighboring
farms and ranches there, but, as a rule,
they are unaware- that by the acquiring
of more lands and cattle they have changed
their character, or suddenly taken on any
rare mental or spiritual acquisitions, and
when they meet their fellow townsmen on
the village street they are the same as
In former days; they extend the same "glad
hand,"- the same old and familiar saluta
tion, warm and sincere, "How der do 'Bill'
or 'Mike. When yer goln' to shlD vour

plain and interested, spoken in the same
homely phrase, and in the same spirit of
cordiality.
Such Is the social democracy of the west.
If we may add an opinion In conclusion,
we would ray, that, under this western
social feglme, there are brought out,
grown up and matured some of the grand
est men of the age; plain and common, yet
uncommon men. Gentlemen, who are nre-
emlnently worthy the name; gentlemen
who have doubly earned the title, without
tne study of artificial rules, but by the
unstudied and dally practice of Chester
field's Imperative law, to wit: That a true
gentleman Is noble minded, truthful and
sincere In his speech; upright and gallant
In his conduct; addresses himself to the
poor and rich alike; never gives offense and
stands upon his record and his honor.

WHY IS IT
that vou never see DR. MILES' REME
DIES quoted In any other drug ad in
Omaha but ours? Simply because they all
signed the agreement to get full, old-time
prices for them, and also agreed to forfeit
a tine in the event of breaking that agree
ment; but a great many of them were
scared to death lest they lose a customer
so they broke the contract under-handedly
and then let the Miles' contract WHISTLE
FOR ITS FINE! GOOD BUSINESS POL
ICY? We don't sign any such contracts,
which allow other people to dictate to us
as to who shall conduct our business.

Harked Step la tho Direction
True Temperance.
The decanter with strong intoxicants
which from the earliest history of our
country was found in almcst every home.
in tne cupboard of the humblest cottage
or on the sideboard of the mansion i.
practically a thing of the past, and Is a
marked step in the direction of True
Temperance. This is mostly attributable
to the Introduction of, and the now uni
versal use of bottled beers in households.
In the early '70s Anheuser-Busch Brewing
Association began bottling beer under the
pasteurising system snd were the first
to bottle beer for export successfully. Al
ways following their motto In brewing,
"Not how cheap, but how good," and con
stantly on the alert to secure the most
modern machinery and applying the best
methods for bottling, the venture proved
a wonderful success. From a small be
ginning their business rapidly Increased, vo
that during the year 190! the consumption
of Budwelser alone reached the fabulous
figure of S3.790.300 bottles, and proves con
clusively that this wholesome snd refresh
ing beverage has become the accepted
American drink.
Budwelser Is the Standard of Quality,
and the greatest proof of Its worth is the
many Imitations both In name and simi
larity of label, constantly being placed on
the market by unscrupulous competitors.
