"The most despised man In the world Is
the hypocrite. He In the woolly wolf seek
ing to confuse, criticize and misinterpret
the Christian faith and doctrine, and In so
doing he In darning more souls than all the
blasphemr- rs."
Thus spoke Dr. 8. P. Ixinn of Mansfield,
O., who preached at Kountze Memorial
church yesterday. Towards the close of
his sermon he announced that he was not
seeking a call to that particular pulpit
and was In Omaha merely to have a change
from very laborious work at Mansfield, He
spoke yesterday morning of hypocrites,
calling tliem "the woolly wolves."
"The mont despised man In the world Is
the hypocrite," said the minister. "He Is
despised by his God. by the world and
ultimately by himself. Of course, there
are hypocrites In the churches, and It Is
a, compliment to the church to have this
fact asserted, as it docs the real use and
worth and goodness of the churchy Of all
thing that Christ despises the one that
He despises the most Is the false prophet
the woolly wolf. He is a monster whose
correct appellation Is 'hell's emissary."
lie-ware of False Prophets.
"Beware the false prophets that cry to
you that tlwre Is no hell no heaven. They
try to make you believe that there Is no
destruction for the wicked nor any re
ward for the good. If they speak the truth
then our Saviour Is a myth and a delu
sion, for He has told us of a heaven and of
a, hell. Believe man or believe your God.
You may take your choice of the word of
the false propliet.
"Whenever you see a man holding a
cloak of wool behind him, parading his
dress ajid crying ''Lord! Lord!' you may be
sure that if you- look behind the wool you
will find the wolf.'' Sometimes he has de
ceived himself; he usually deceives hun
dreds and thousands and he tries to de
ceive his God. Mot only is he false, but
he is destructive. Nothing is harming the
church today more than the woolly wolves.
They are always diligent, seeking to throw
confusion into Chrtatlan ranks, picking out
parts of the Bible here and there to criti
cize, to Interpret and to hold up to dis
belief. They are damning more souls than
all the blasphemers- in the' world. But you
may never know the wolf unless you know
the truth. If yon know the true word of
God you will tinderstand the false."

Honored by Rev. John Doane,
Rev. John Doane of Fremont spoke from
the pulpit of the First Congregational
church Sunday morning with regard to the
Integrity of a man's conscience and his
duty toward God as Indicated by his con
science. He took for his text the words,
"And herein do I exercise myself, to have
always a conscience void of offense toward
God and toward men."
"Character Is a measure of conscience,"
he said. "Life can never rise higher than
man's Ideals. Man must not have other
gods than truth and righteousness, for he
Is like his god. If his god be false, then
he Is false, for his falseness Is as great
as his god's. We must show our faith by
our works. Live toward your Ideals and
riot up tq them, or rather placs your Ideals
above your present standard of righteous
ness, for we must work up. If the goal Is
already reached, no one will work on try
ing to reach higher. The incentive to
progress Is gone. Lax ethics are a mill
tone about a nnllon's neck.
"To many th conscience Is something
to be debauched by Indulgence. It is ruled
by likes and dlsVkes. This should not be.
One should do wltat he believes to be right,
whether he feels like doing it or not.
"In this country there Is mob law. This
passionate impatience, which demands Im
mediate punishment by burning at the
take or by hanging of negroes guilty of

TALK 9 OF THE SEW TESTAMENT.
Exposition of Four Gospels and Suc
ceeding Scriptures.
Rev1. W. H. Reynolds, pastor of Castellar
Street Presbyterian church, yesterday
morning gave an exposition of- the New
Testament, taking as his text the gospel of
St. John, 20:31: "But these are written
that ye might believe Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of God, and that believing, ye
might have life through his name."
The New Testament Is comprised of twen
ty-seven books and they are all classified,
as they must be to give a comprehensive
Idea of them." said the minister, "and are
divided into four parts. First, the gospels, j
which are the four biographies of Christ;
second, the history of the beginnings of
the Christian church, in the Acts of the
Apostles; third, the letters or epistles, and
fourth, the Revelation, or prophecy. It Is
true the New Testament was not written
In the order In which the books appear.
Some of the epistles were written before
the gospels. The epistle of James probably
was the first written of the series of twenty-seven
books.
There is really but one gospel, divided
Into four books. The first three are much
like, while the fourth is materially dif
ferent. Matthew la called the gospel for
the Jews, as It teaches of the fulfillment
of the prophecies ' of the Old Testament
and how they were fulfilled. Mark Is
called the gospel ot wonders or 'wonder
worker,' and was written to conform to
the Roman Idea of power and to impress
the power of Christ upon the people of that
era, with whom the essence 9f power was
omnipotent. It Is doubted by some author
ities whether Mark was tho writer of the
book which bears his name. He may have
been the writer, but the Inspiration of the
book of Mark was undoubtedly that of
Peter, who told Mark of the things which
he wrote. Luke is the gospel for the
Greeks and was written for the educated
people of that race and Is also called the
gospel of humanity. The gospel of John
is essentially different from all these, in
that he presents the life or Christ. Many
things are in John that are not in Mat
thew, Mark or Luke, and vice versa. lie
writes of the four passovers of the Jews,
and of Christ's participation therein, which
fixes the time of His ministry at about
three years and three months. It was evi
dently written after the others, and Is es
sentially the gospel for the church. He
was the last of the apostles and writes as
an' eyewitness of what he say. It Is held
by some that John was not the writer of
the gospel of John, but that It was writ
ten fifty or 100 years after his death. This
was the favorite argument of Renan, the
great .French commentator on the New
Testament. Re maintained that It was
written In the second century.but that If
It was written In the first oentury It Is cos
stbly true. All classes and churches agree
that It was written In the first century
and the strongest evidence thereof Is that
this gospel was freely quoted from by
Clement, bishop of Rome, who lived In the
first century. Another evidence that John
Is Its author Is In the fact that he never
mentions himself, but that all his refer
ences to jonn mean John the Baptist. The
book shows also that It was written by a
Jew of Palestine, who knew of all tho
sacred places about Jerusalem and Pales
tine, and It further has a sufficient political
background to indicate that it must have
been written In the era of a certain stage
of politics In the Roman empire, which ex
isted only In the first century and evi
dently by a man Intimately associated with
these political conditions of the first cen
tnry. He gives his reasons for writing this
gospel, That you may know that Jesus
Is the Messiah and the Bon of God.' The
jews expected the Messiah to come to them
in an tne spectacular grandeur of their Im
presslve priesthood and were disappointed
wnen He came In His humble and lowly

Dndwelsrr for Parity and Nourishment
The Budwelser advertisement which ap
pears In another portion of this paper
a raws an interesting comparison between
water and beer In these words:
"Pure water Is better than poor beer
Pure beer Is more wholesome than pure
water because of the nourishing qualities
of malt and the tonic properties of hops."
This is obviously true despite the conten
tions of cold water enthusiasts and explains
why so many physicians prescribe Bud
welser for anemic patients, not only be
cause of its refreshing and invigorating
effects, but as a delicate and effectual
means of administering nourishment.
The extreme care used In selection of ma.
terials as well as In supervising the actual
brewing of Budwelser Insures perfect flavor
and absolute healthfuiness of the product
It Is brewed from malt under the direct
supervision of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing
association; the finest hops obtainable and
thoroughly filtered soft river water com.
plete the Ingredients.
It Is Important In this consideration to
note that river water is Ideal for the pro
duction of good beers for the reason that
It contains none of the hurtful and un
pleasant mineral salts so commonly found
In spring and well waters.
Budwelser Is 'king of bottled beers," for
table consumption as well as medical use
and It Is truthfully called "the essence of
purity."

PICNIC HELD FOR PLEASURE
Douglas County Democracy'! Outing is for
tbe Fun of tbe Thing.
JOYOUS THRONG GATHERS IN THE WOODS
Tries' Lake the Scene of the Assem
blage and a, Merles of sports that
Will Stand as a Record for
a. Year at Least.
The real picnic of the year Is a matter
of history and for the twelve months the
hills surrounding Pries' lake will show
the warm effects of the annual .outing
of the Douglas County Democracy. This
club certainly knows how to attract a
crowd, nor is it unsophisticated In those
arts by which the same crowds may be
separated from their money. By the same
token, they use every one which can be
desired on the spur of the moment and
the devices are In the hands of those who
make the process of separation not only
tolerable but pleasing.
Every chieftain of the club was present
with his following, and this made up a
crowd the like of which has not been
brought together since the last picnic of
the organization. As trains ran every
fifteen minutes the crowds did not come
as early as when one train carried the
whole push, and only those who brought
luncheon came be flora noon, while the
larger part of the crowd came after that
hour. The early arrivals had the better
of the day, for they wandered through the
rather attractive natural woods of the
park and went Into boats upon the lake
before the crowd arrived. Some misguided
mortals tried to fish, but had their pains
for their trouble.
O'Brien Wins the Cap.
At 2 o'clock the first boat race was
called. This race settled a long-mooted
point between I). J. O'Brien of the city
council and James P. Connolly, county
commissioner. The prise was to have been
a silver cup allee samee Llpton but Con
nolly objected to going Into the race with
out a consolation prize being offered, so
silk umbrella was added to the list.
Then they started to race, but It was only
a start, for O'Brien rowed over the course
without opposition. Someone started the
story that Connolly , had lost an umbrella
and wanted another one, but Jim made
a clean breast of the matter and said that
he had never tried to row a boat before.
The next event was a woman's boat race,
which was won handily by Mrs. J. R.
Brandt, who secured a pair of slippers;
Rita Randolph second, Lena Williams third,
receiving a pair of gloves and a box of
candy respectively.
Another long-talked-of boat race came
next, in which John Drexel pitted himself
against S. P. Fenno. John Power did not
like to see a two-man race, so started Into
the contest In a scow. He came in second,
following Fenno by a length, with Drexel
far in the rear. Puffed up with his good
showing, the sheriff once again, braved
the perils of the deep and landed in shoal
water at the western end of the lake, from
which he was only rescued by herculean
efforts of friends. Fenno got half a ton
of anthracite coal for his victory.
Winners of Other Prises.
Joe Butler won the fat men's race over
the objections of the other participants,
who argued that the position of the flesh
and not the aggregate weight should de
cide upon eligibility. He got a case of
beer, and D. J. O'Brien received a box
of cigars for coming In second.
In the 100-yard dash J. C. Callahan won
the silk umbrella by. coming In first, but
h had tq race twice to get it, as the first
trial was called a dead heat.
Young Wilson won the boy's foot race
and received a sweater, and H. Hlland got
a cap for coming in second.
In the women's foot, race the first prize
was awarded to Mrs. . Callahan, . and the
second to Mrs. Cole.
In the 25-yard race fior members of the
club only, Louis Plattl was awarded first
place and Dan Custer second.
Patrick M. Connolly, aged 80, father of
Commissioner Connolly, received a cane for
being the oldest man on the grounds, and
Thomas Harrington a prize for having the
largest family present.
During the afternoon the Elks' quartet
sang several times and A. J. Webb sang
a solo.
ALLEN A RAILROAD MAGNATE
Former Popnllst Senator from Ke-
brsaks Projector of New
Northwest Line.
Former Senator William V. Allen of Ne
braska has become a railroad man, ac
cording to advices from Spokane, Wash. A
few days ago he met In that city Judge
M. M. God in an of Dayton, Wash., and M.
O. Reed of Colfax, Wash., and they pro
ceeded to organize a railroad company to
build a line from Huntington, Ore., to
Lewlnton, Idaho.
The proposed road when built will b of
great Importance to the Snake river val
ley, and will furnish communication be
tween a number of mining districts and the
world. Among the latter la the Seven
Devils district. In which former Senator
Allen is interested, being president of the
Inca Mining company. Among the stock
holders of this company are a number of
Union Paciflo and Oregon Railway & Navi
gation company officials, but whether they
are officially, or directly, Interested In the
proposed roud has not yet developed.
For a number of years efforts have been
made to build a road to tap the Seven
Devils district, and follow about the same
route now proposed. The Northwest Rail
road company started such a road from
Huntington down the Snake river, but
after doing some grading abandoned It.
The new company, of which former Sen-
ator Allen, It Is presumed, will be an off!
rial, has bought the right-of-way and
grade of the Northwest road, and the peo
ple wno wouia pe served by It believe the
road will now be completed.

QUITS MINISTRY FOR MAGIC
nonrn Mvraivn, .iryurw ti Former
Nebraska Senator, Famoas tat
Mystle Realm.
Howard Thurston, the young American
magician, who has achieved such a bril
llant success in Europe during the past
few years, has returned to this country
and is now performing in New York. After
a season there he probably will , make
tour of the larger cities and his visit to
Omaha will have added Interest for the
reason that he Is a nephew of former
Senator Thurston.
Howard Thurston was born In Ohio and
his parents desired him to enter the min
istry. He attended the Moody theological
school at Northtleld, Mass., for five years
and later was active In the work of re
claiming bad boys at ths llurnhlm In
dustrial Firm at Canaan Four Corners.
But from boyhoQd, as told by bluMolf, he
was Interested In magic and finally adoptel
It as a profession.
On the books of a single agency In Ion-
don, It Is stated are the names of about
20,000 persons Who claim to be magicians,
but of this number not more than twenty
are able to make what would be called a
good living out of their work, and not half
that number are really making money snd
are what would be called famous. Mr.
Thurston has won his way Into this very-
exclusive inner circle and In thcatrlcil
circles Is regarded as the legitimate suc
cessor of the great Herrmann.
In his workshop Mr. Thurston has
evolved a number of new devices and many
of his tricks are entirely new. Among
those which have attracted special atten
tion In New York are those in which he
pours 100 gallons of water from a cocoanut
shell held In one hand, while from the
other hand shoots a fierce stream of fire;
another In which he feeds a single ejtg to
an assistant clad In skin tight garments
and clusea first a large number of eggs
and then a live chicken to come from the
assistant's chest;' and those In which dif
ferent objects apparently obey his com
mand to remain unsupported In midair.
Mr. Thurston won his first reputation as
an expert In handling cards, and still does
a number of startling tricks with them.
HATECHURCH AND STATE UNION
Progressive Swedes, gars Rev. L. Ar-
lander Despise the Oppressive
System.
Rev. I Arlander. pastor of the Swedish
Baptist church of Omaha, returned from a
two months' visit to his old home In
Sweden.
'It Is a new Sweden, so to speak. But
still there is much of tho sameness of old.
Ttu?re is much unrest there because of the
rigid militarism, which is modeled some
what after the German system, and every
male citizen is required to serve a certain
period In the army. The regular stanaing
army system has been practically abol
ished, but the system of Landwehr pre
vails to an exasperating extent. The Swedes
aro naturally a peace-loving people and do
not take kindly to the rigid enforcement of
the military laws. Then there prevails the
arbitrary system of the state church, which
is Lutheran, and all denominations are re
quired to be subservient to It and all
classes of people are taxed heavily for its
maintenance. Wo cannot fully compre
hend this situation here In free America,
especially when the popular conception of
Lutheranlsm was a revolt against the polit
ical hierarchy of the Catholic church. The
priests are very Jealous or their political
ascendancy and are determined to maintain
It. True, there are other orthodox denom
inations there and they are given a sort of
religious freedom. But the state church
does not encourage their establishment.
Missionaries of other denominations are
treated coldly, and are restrained from ex
ercising too much zeal by heavy fines, im
prisonment and ultimate expulsion. Of
course this -condition has prevailed for
many years. The people are now showing
a spirit or revolt against it, out laws
change very slowly In Sweden. King Oscar
Is disposed to be liberal, but he can do
nothing, and will be unable to do anything
until the Church Is divorced from the state.
This will come In timo.
"The Question of the separation of Nor
way from the Scandinavian union has
about died out. Some of Its strongest ad
vocates have now become wholly recon
ciled to the maintenance of the union, and
the spirit of unionism Is now stronger than
ever.
"There Is Just how a considerable emi
gration from Sweden to the United States
and It will Increase', simply because of the
unbearable conditions 6f church and state
and militarism. '''Very few Swedes who
have returned to Sweden to visit their old
homes are disposed to remain. They love
America and Its freedom and their praises
of the country are persuading others to
come to America.''" The Finnish oppression
in northeastern Russia will also send many
of that people to America."

BUSY SUNDAY AT THE RESORTS
Manawa. and Courtland Beach . Have
Blaj Crowds of Pleasure
Seekers.
Lake Manawa and Courtland Beach were
especially favored yesterday in the matter
of attendance. Of the two resorts Court-
land Beach received a little the best pa
tronage. In handling this big crowd of
people both ways.- not a mishap occurred
and little or no Inconvenience was felt by
any one. The bathing beaches at both
were the goal ot 30 per cent of the attend
ance and the bathing suits, and Inci
dentally the bath house keepers, were hard
worked all day. At Lake Manawa the
Floyd Brlggs company filled the big airy
Casino to overflowing at night and at the
matinee had a big house. The company
gave a splendid performance of "Forgiven."
Two balloon ascensions were given after
noon and evening.
A new feature greatly appreciated by
patrons is the orchestra at the Kursaal.
It not only enlivens tho visitors to this de
lightfully cool place, but Is enjoyable to
the bathers at. the beach adjoining. Covalt's
band gave the usual lengthy program in
the usual artixtlc way.
At Courtland Beach Oscar Norln gave an
exhibition of high diving from various alti
tudes Into a four-foot tank of water, finally
finishing at 120 feet. At night he gave the
same exhibitions enveloped in a flaming
suit of clothes. His wife, a slender little
woman, also gave exhibitions afternoon and
night. She refrained from the 120-foot
drop. The Tennessee Jubilee singers warbled
sweetly In rag time and gave selections of
old southern songs. The bathing beach was
crowded all day, as was the children's
delight, the switchback railway and the
Ferris wheel. Prof. Sam Murphy did his
accustomed balloon ascension and para
chute Jump. Nordln's orchestra In the
pavilion rendered a select program and
Dodson's military band kept everybody In
good spirits on the pavilion.

WANTS FT. CROOK IMPROVED
Army Officer Says Trolley Line Should Bun
Out from Omaha.
NATURAL PRESTIGE Of POST DEMANDS IT
Wonld Make It Finest Rifle Range In
Country Where large Crowds
of People Woald Be
Attracted.
The return today of the battalion ot the
Twenty-second Infantry from a three
weeks' target practice at Bancroft to Fort
Crook suggests the query among army offi
cers and others as to why a target range
could not be found nearer Omaha. The
old Bellevue range, It Is said, was good
In its way, but the long range guns soon
rendered It unsafe and impracticable to
maintain a rffls range in a thickly popu
lated community.
"I believe," said an officer at army head
quarters, "that were the proper steps taken
one of the finest rifle ranges In the coun
try could be established and maintained
near Omaha. There Is ' sufficient bluff
grounds near here to afford the necessary
safety backgrounds for all target shoot
ing, without the least danger. Could such
a range be established It would be a big
thing for Omaha, and would add very ma
terially to Its sporting interests. The range
could be used Jointly by civilians and sol
diers and It would draw some of the best
marksmen here and the target meets would
attract many visitors. Some of the very
best rifle shots In the world are connected
with the United States army and nothing
so stimulates an Interest In rifle target
shooting as spectators visiting the rangs
and encouraging the marksmen by their
presence. A range could be maintained
very successfully by charging a small ud
mlsslon fee on the occasion of exhibition
shoots. The War department Is taking a
new Interest in target practice, and the
rifle and revolver competitions at Forts
Leavenworth and Riley next month are
going to be great events. Had we a good
range near Omaha, one of these competition
shoots could have been held here Just ns
well as not.
Trolley Line Need to Crook.
"There Is another thing that Omaha
could do that would nrove a navinor in
vestment, and that is to build a trolley line
between this city and Fort Crook. As it
Is, the only way to reach the fort Is by
the steam cars, and in the summer time
It Is a hot, dusty ride. With a trolley
line there would follow a lively patronage
and dally excursions to the fort would
be Inevitable. Citizens would become more
familiar with the great establishment of
the American army, and there are very
few more attractive spectacles than a
dress parade. Band concerts would become
more frequent, and a more pleasant out
ing could hardly be conceived than an
evening trolley ride to Fort Crook. The
road could be beautified with shade trees
In a short while and made most attractive.
It ought to be done. With a great mili
tary headquarters here In Omaha, from
which orders emanate governing the mil
itary administration of an army garrison

by the trafflo between these cities and the
posts."
