THE OMATTA DAILY HEE: MONDAY. MARCH 2. 19(1 1. PALM SUNDAY IN CHURCHES Aiairersary of Savior's Triumphal Entry Into Jerusalem Solemnly Obiemd. PALMS ARE VERY MUCH IN EVIDENCE From Pnlplt and holp torr la Told of PaTlor'a Hrlora to Fare Ilia Perarralora and Falflll rrovhrrr. And the multitude that went before, end that followed, cried, saying, llosnnna to the son of David: HWssciI If he thHt comet h In the name of the Lord; Hosanna In the highest. The anniversary of the Savior' triumphal entry Into Jerusalem, seated upon an , hailed, rhred and exalted by the multi tude, wan solemnly celebrated In the churches of Omaha yesterday. Choir boya carried pulm leaves In the processional and reoeeslonal, while altars and chancels were gracefully decorated with bowera of the same beautiful emblem of this great day which marked the Savior's conquest over sin. And along streets leading from every Catholic rhurch In the city strolled throngs of devout worshlpera carrying fragments of palms In reverent memory of the day and lis grave significance. In many an Omaha church, singers pit soul Into Faure's "The I'alms." In pulpits of every denomination ministers told of that sublime spectacle In Jerusalem; bow the Iord wept at the gates of the great city before entering them, later to face Ills persecutors In fulfillment of the prophecy; how He was received and hailed with shouts of praise from the multitude In which were Ills dlHclplcs; how. as He marched, the throng strewed palms along the path and showered other manifestations of kinxly honors upon Him and then finally, but three days later, how these shouts of triumph and praise turned to Jeers of derialnn when He was seized by His persecutors and left alone to endure their horrid torture with out even the comforting hand of His dis ciples left to Him. Palm Sunday Is the first of those great day of passion, culminating In Good Fri day and In Faster; the days which made Christianity. In practically all Omaha churches there will be services at some hjnur during each of thene momentous tlhrlstlan anniversaries. Theso will be services of sorrow, culminating with the hours of the crons. Sermons and Instruc tion will exhort the listeners to be worthy of the supreme sacrifice. Saturday will sea a pause, a waiting, and then comes the glorious Kaster of tho Resurrection with Its songs of sacred and glorious Joy. BAYS OMAHA KKDH MOHK fJOOD ME1 Secretary Willis Pronounces This aa Klcmrnt City I, neks. Bcretary Willis, who goes east soon, made his last Sunday afternoon address In the Young Me'n'a Christian associa tion building Sunday. His topic was "The Teast that Makes Omaha Rise." "The prosperity of Omaha does not de pend on new manufactories, on new rail roads, on a grain exchange or anything of the kind; It does, absolutely, depend on the character of its young men. The yeast that shall leaven Omaha is tho character of its manhood. In tho Uni versity of Missouri I saw a sign, 'Wanted, a Man.' It would be a good thing if In all places where it would be seen we had almllax signs. Nowadays men of the right anrt are the scarcest articles there Is. The greatest need of Omaha is not for more men. btit for better men. We have low standards on everything business, politics; a low social standard In every phase of life. We have preached Ood's love so long that somehow men have failed to get hold of the Idea that the Christian Ufa means a reformed life. So many hava their names placed on tha bonk and do not change from thalr fsrmar con duct. Our standard la loir. Tha country paver hat; had mora aerioua queatlopa to settle the Immigration question, Irrigation, capital and labor, socialism and many more. These cannot be solved by legisla tion: they cannot be solved by education. Only the gospel of the Lord and Savior Jejua Christ will serve. "Have you ever thought what sort of man you are? We are said to consist of four men. First, the man the world sees; second, the nun your friends see, and third, tho man we see ourselves. Hut these are not the true man, he Is the fourth, the man Ood sees. Do you think that any one would Ilka to have the man that God sees put on tha blackboard? I doubt If there la a single roan who would. What ara your motives? They are what make our Uvea. We are put In the world for a purpose; we ara here to use to the great est extent tha abilities Ood has given us. Do not drift. It Is easier than standing up, but these drifters are the curse of a city. Our aalvatlon is In those who will stand. What the city needs more than anything else la men who say, 'I will do It; I will do right, regardless of time and tide.' Sin la the only thing which atanda In our way." IAGRATITTDE OF TUB DISCIPLE. Ho Fralae .or Comfort Wheal Jesus . . Beara tho Cross. Tha theme of Rev. M. DeWltt Longa discourse at Knox Presbyterian church yesterday morning was "Trtumrh, with Death Beneath." Matthew xxl, 10-11: "And the multitude cried out. Who la this that Cometh, and they said The Prophet of Galilee." Dr. Long said. In part: "TbJa is the Passion week of the Lord. He waa going back to fulfill prophecy and meat His persecutors In the temple court. To meet those who had sought to kill Him. Christ's re-entry into Jerusalem waa tha grandest triumphal entry In the world's history. It waa grand In Its sim plicity and beauty of tha motives with which it was undertaken. Ho came aa a conqueror over sin. No suffering, humili ated captives were chained to His chariot, anly death and the grave.

Tralse dlscrlmlnatlvely bestowed Is one of the good things of this world. It is one of Ood's beautiful gifts to humanity that all aj. predate. Rut Ingratitude Is most un kind. But Jesus was above any event that could happen. His disciples shouted them selves hoarse on the day of His triumphal entry Into Jerusalem, but they showed their Ingratitude In the hour of His sor row. Jesus alone triumphed over death, over Ingratitude, over pleasure, pain and sorrow. He stands the proudeat figure of all mankind, a conqueror in death. They strewed palms In His pathway upon His entry Into Jerusalem, did the multitude, but when three days later He took up the Journey to tho cross He went alone. This earth Is honored above all the planets In that Jesus left His blood upon It. This Is Palm Sunday, and It will be repeated some day. Saturn may glory In Its mar riage ring of Time, but earth Is greater than all of these becnusA ti,r,nn r-A Jesus Christ, the Ueloved Son of God, and gava Hla life that tha people of the earth might live." TELLS ADVANTAGES OK EDICATIOV Chancellor Huntington Prencbes mi Seward Street Church. Chancellor D. W. C. Huntington, D. D., of the Nebraska Wesleyan university at Lin coln occupied the pulpit at the Seward Street Methodist Episcopal church yester day forenoon. His subject was, "Christian tMucution." "The question which confronts us Is, what good may we expect from a good, practical Christina education of our young people?" said Dr. Huntington. "In answer to this, I would say we may expect a great deal of good. In the first place, thn -educated peo ple of this country live longer than the uneducated. This is proven by tho statistics of our national census bureau. Is not that worth something? Tho boys who smoke, tell cheap stories and engage In other ques tionable amusements, do not know that their acta are going to shorten their lives. Hut when they are educated they will know It. "Scientists tell us that our forefathers went on all fours. I nm not interested In bow I came into the world, my business is with the fact that I am here and responsi ble for my acts. I would say that more than half the world goes on all fours yet. "Another advantuge the educated have is that of a happier life. To an uneducated man who grows old life In nil behind. All differences which exist as compared with his younger dya are for the worse. Every thing1 to him Is going to rack and ruin. He speaks In a continual string of pessi mism. BupiKJse he had tilled his mind while young. Suppose his time hud been taken up with good books. That man would have enjoyed his old age. Ho would know his tory, he would know that there la hope, he would know that there Is an upward movement. Those thought! would furnish him with consolation at the end. He would never grow old. If we desire to leave our children the greatest and richest inheri tance leave them a good education, "Let us look at the broad and butter aide of the argument. Perhaps some of you have a book In your libraries called "Who's Who in America?' This book contains 9,(W0 names. Of this number twenty-one are illiterate, 808 have had a common school education, 1,245 a high school training and 6,000 are college graduates. This will show you that the direct road to success for your boy ia by wuy of a good education." SAVIOR WEEPS BEFORE JERUSALEM Lord's Entrance Cheered by Those Who loiter Derided Him. In St. Matthias' Knlaconnl nhiiivti p.u Philip Davidson told how tho Savior had wept on this day before the gatea of Jerusalem amid the hosaruiahs of tha mul titude. "Tha ahoutlng of tho multitude cornea to us in our services." he said. "It la strange we uaa tha word hosannuh used by tha mouths of those men who were shortly m bo crying out in derision. All through the centuries or darkness and strife these hosannaha have been echoing huolc in that triumphant entry. Tho church has stead- lasuy snouted Hosannah to tho Son of God.' We have tha old Jews. We are filled with enthusiasm. our hearts are full of love and seal at this season, but as the weeks go by our xeal gradually dies away and with eummer we feel none of the enthusiasm which at tho close of holy aeason Is at ita height. "The Lord has given us a test to help us keep up. He sent His dlnclntoa get the asa and told them if any objected io len mem i he Lord has need of them,' 'the Lord has need of them-' m. i. v, key word of Christianity.

While a meeting la to be held thla evening to take up the matter of the election of a auperln tendent, at least three of the members seem undecided aa to whom they will vote for, and It aeama to be the general opinion that no one will be aelected at tonlght'a meeting to fill the position. One member expressed tha opinion that no one will be decided upon for at least two or three weeks. Twenty-two applicationa thus far have been received and of thla number aix ap pllcanta hava canvaased the membera of the board and have aoltclted votes for tha position in person. Thoae who have called upon the board membera are: 8. H. Sheakley, superintendent of the Dee Moines schools; Superintendent Btgelow of LeMara, la.; Superintendent W. M.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Council Will Tonight Designate Flaoei of Regiitration for Election. ALL MUST REGISTER OR TRANSFER NAMES Cltr Clerk Already Has Cited Votlai riacea and Mayor Proclaims Election for 1-1 ft h of April. An Important meeting of the city council will be held tonight. Besides the ordinary business and what may come up the coun cil will be called upon to designate the places for registration April 2. It appears to be the Intention of the members of the council to locate these places of registra tion revision as nearly as possible with last year In order that voters may not be confused. All those who have changed their residence since last fall will be re quired to secure transfers and those who have become residents since the November election will have to register if they de sire to vote. The city clerk already has designated the voting placea and the mayor's proclama tion has been Issued for the election to be held April 6. Republicans and democrats now are hust ling for votes and It Is predicted that the registration will be large. There will be a great many transfers on account of the large number of worklngmen who have bought property and are building homes. The transfers probably wlIT be as lurge as tho new registration. The republican ticket remains the same as filed with the exception that Mike Smith Is running for councilman from the Third ward by petition. Smith is the only one filing a petition. City Clerk Shrlgley was on duty until midnight Saturday ready for anyone who desired to file by petition, but Smith was the only one. Sample bal lots were then prepared and were Issued yesterday. The official ballots will not be printed until a couple of days before elec tion. New Bridge Proposed. It has been reported that the Burlington road soon will submit an ordinance to the city council for the right to construct a viaduct across the company's tracks at Thirty-eighth street At present the cross ing Is at grado und as switch engines are constantly passing the suggestion has been made to Burlington officials that a viaduct would be a good thing. By the building of a bridge across the tracks the railroad company Interested would secure quite an amount of ground for additional tracks Every railroad entering Into South Omaha Is hustling for ground for additional tracks and should the Burlington ask for the privilege of building a viaduct In order to secure more room for tracks there is scarcely a doubt but that the people gen erally would ask tho council to grant such a request Additional Telephone Cobles. Officers of the Nebraska Telephone com pany say within the next month the stringing of additional cables in South Omaha will be begun. These cables are strung through the business portion of the city and some lead to Omaha. The in tention Is to put all wires possible Into cables In order that better sarvice may be given to subscriber. Linemen will be en gaged for several months in making the Improvements contemplated. Plankinsr Kew VI ad act. About 200 feet of the new viaduct across tho tracks- has been planked and the side railings are being placed. The bridge Is being built from both ends and the work pushed as rapidly aa possible. Quantities of lumber are arriving almost dally and there seems to be no lack of material. The heavy work la at the O street end of the bridge, where the steel trusses are being plaoed on concrete foundations. When completed the viaduct will have offs like the L and Q street viaducts. In stead there will be a steady decline from Twenty-sixth street to the front h. Exchange building. Magic City Gossip.

Cody, "Buffalo Bill." Is In the city, a guest at the Merchants, enroute eastward to close up a number of business affairs prior to his departure for England, where he will, rejoin his Wild West show for a tour of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. He is accompanied by E. F. Stanley of Liverpool, who has been spending tho winter at Cody. Wyo., and who is interested in a number of Colonel Cody's western enterprises. William McCune, the western agent of Buffalo Bill's Wild West, Is also of the party. "I lea.e Omaha Monday morning for Chicago." said Colonel Cody, "and will go from there to Washington to look after some Irrigation matters before the land department, and will on April 7 sail for England on tho Deutschland to join my show at Stoke-on-Trent, where It has been In winter quarters. Mr. McCune will sail for England April 11 on the Lucanla with seventy-five Sioux and Cheyenne Indians from the Pine Ridge agency. The show will open April 25 at Stoke-on-Trent and after making a tour of the principal cities of England, will make a tour of Scotland. We will make our first entry Into Ireland this year, showing at Belfast, Drngheda Dublin, Waterford, Limerick and Cork the Ireland trip covering two weeks. We may go over to the continent nfter the trip through Ireland and show In France. Ger many, Austria and Hungary, but that Is not deiinitely decided upon ns yet. We may come back to America and make a tour of the states. In fact wo are talk ing of that plan now. The Idea of going to Australia has been abandoned; it Is too costly. The show has been much en larged and Improved. We have twenty five Japanese cavalrymen with us now and the same number of Russian Cossacks. It will be interesting to get the drift of popular sympathy In England when these two nationalities are on exhibition. We will reproduce the Custer battle this year, having decided to abandon the representa tion of the San Juan hill scrap. The peo ple take more readily to Indian fights than to the Spanish-American war skir mishes. Yes. we are looking for a big season and all of us are anxious to get back to America and show here, but we shall not attempt to return In tlmo for the St. Louis exposition.

CAN DY.CATHARTI C rrr&i r- Id. I.I.CLIIL . ...,,iXr-.----.-...,..r ..... . , BUY SUSPECTED OF ARSON Fonrteen-Year-01d Colored Lad Arrested in Ocnneo'.ioi with Fires- ADMITS APPLYING TORCH IN ONE CASE Police Believe They Have Nnclrua to Cine Which May Caravel Plot Back of Nnmerooa Fires. With the arrest of Ivey Davis, a colored boy, 14 years old, and residing at the home of hia mint, Mrs. Payne, at 1316 Jones street, the police believe they have the cause of many of the incondlary fires which havo occurred In the district where tho boy lives. Davis admits having set fire to a wagon of hay and a barn at Twelfth and JoneM streets, but denies firing any of the other buildings. Ha was arrested by Detective Donahue and Officer Russell yesterday afternoon and the charge of arson placed against him. Within the last six weeks the Are rte. partment has bwn call.;d out to nine fires which are lielleved to have been Incendiary and to a number of false alarms. The first building to be fired waa tho Wal- ien hotel, between Thirteenth and Four teentn and Lcnvenowrth streets, a two- story frame structure which was unoccii pied. Then in quick succession various buildings In the district were fired. A frame building at 622 South Thirteenth street was found ablaze and some hay in one of the rooma showed signs of having been fired. Booth's oyster store, Thirteenth nnd .lone streets, was tho scene of the next fire, hut it waa extinguished by the employes of the company. Within ton days the store was discovered to be ablaze again and required the attention of tha fire de partment. Barker lintel Cnnght. A fire under tho porch of tho old Barker hotel gave the department a run and the origin never could be accounted for. An unloading hcd nt the south side of the l ronmery Package Manufacturing com pany's building was set on fire a few nights ago and Iho following eveninir tho nt,) Krug malting house suffered the samo fate. or nil the fires the one at the Creamery Package Manufacturing company's shed waa the easiest to trace to Incondlnrv causes and tho fire at the Krug malting house the most mysterious. The unload ing shed was lined Insldo with zinc. ml rain had dampened tho wood outside. There was nothing inside the shed but n boxc&r. To sot the fire coins: In thnt nln it is supposed the firebugs must have had to teea the fire a long time before It could catch Inside. The fire nt the malting house started In tho omnia of the hntld. lnd and In broad daylight, so It Is difficult to Imagine It a case of arson. The police have suspected Davis for some time. Boy Tells How He Did It. The Davis boy confessed to tho rm1!3 late last night that he had set fire to most of the buildings. He said that. In company with another colored boy 9 years of age, he had set fire to the Booth oyster store, the Creamery Packara Mn company building, a barn at Twelfth and jones streets and Wallenz's hotel. 1I ,i.i that they fired the last named building twice, the first attempt was noticed by some people who extinguished the blnz without the help of the Are department. Davis also an Id that he set fire to ti.o ni.i Krug malting house by carrying aome hay onto the second floor and applying a match io n. as all the doors and windows were locked In this buUdlns- and Hi A in daylight, the police think Davis pretty "smooth" in accomplishing his fuir .i.k out attracting the attention of the people In the street. His alleged accomplice In the acts was brought to the police station lost night by hla father, but the little fellow stoutly denied having had anything to do with tho firing of the buildings. The two boya were brought face to face and after a lengthy questioning the police are of the opinion that Davis ia trying to get an Innocent" boy Into trouble. One notable fact which makes the police disbelieve Davis' story as to having an accomplice Is that he would not confess to his deeds until the other boy had been taken home.
