"When w atop to consider that million
Of men and women' of thla country are
Identified with the fraternal organlsationa,
the church of Ood cannot afford to Ignore
these institutions," declared Rev. A. 8. C.
Clarke, paator of tha Lowe Avenue Presby

The occasion Waa the annual memorial

year.
Rev. Mr, Clarke read the Seventy-fourth
.Psalm as being particularly Marcahean
in text, and confined hla remarks for the
moat part to Judas Maccabeua, after whose
principle and character the order waa
founded, and to fraternallsm In general.
"Judas Maccabeua waa zealous and loyal;
he was willing to offer hla life for the
prlnclplea he atood for, and which were
handed down to him by .hla father. He la
an Ideal (Inure In human history. He never
bad more than 10,000 men under his com
mand at one time, but through the high
aualltlea of his leadership he put as many
as 66,01)0 Syrians to flight.
"Judna Maccabeua stood for devotion to
Ood, civil liberty and pure character, upon
'fc-hlch principles the order of the Macca
bees Is built and which principle should
, accuate all of Ita member.
i "Fraternal order are the outgrowth of
certain conditions, such aa brotherly love
and social friendship, and when these Idea
.are properly carried out lodges are to be
desired. We should not loin these orders
merely for tbe loaves, and fishes, so to
apeak, but make our membership stand for
t something. ',
The speaker reviewed that portion of hi
' tory leading up to the time of Judas Mac
cabeus and gave -a Interesting sketch of

at
First Methodist.
Rev. J, W. Sparling, B. A., D. D., presi
dent of "Wealeyan university, Winnipeg,
Manitoba, occupied the pulpit at the First
Methodist church yesterday morning. Dr.
Sparling I the guest of his nephew, F. O.
Sparling, M. D., at whose nuptial he will
officiate Tuesday evening.
"And we know that all things work to
gether for good to those that love Ood,'
was the speaker' text, taken from the
Epistle to the Romans, xlll:28.
"If we do not accept these words, writ'
ten in dne of the most remarkable chap
ters of the most remarkable of books, I
do not know what we may accept," said
Dr. Sparling; in hi opening remarks.
"These words are not the utterance of
young convert or a raw recruit, but of one
who had suffered stripes on the back, been
toned and had fought with wild beasts
and then calmly wrote to the church of
Rome that all things work together for
good to those that love Ood. : ,
"Whether we believe the text or not is
largely determined by our notion of what
I good. What 1 good? What I the sum
mum bonumt Some would say money 1
tr treated thing in tha world. Money 1
a splendid servant, but a hard , master;
Bom Would tell me that knowledge sur
paaseth all thing, but I would say that
the fear of the .Lord 1 the beginning of
knowledge. Anything that make a better
man or woman of you Is good, but that
which shut you out of the light of Ood
Is bad.
"All things , work together for' good to
those that love Ood, You ask me what
the text means. I don't understand it
but I believe it and I might a well close
the book If 1 did not believe it. I am not
discussing what will ' make you rich, fa
tnou or scholarly, . but that which will
make you a better man or woman.
. "The trial of your faith wprketh patience
and that la the way our character grow.
Everything you .say 'no' to wrong make
it, more likely that you will say no' again
that 1 the way you, grow; that Is the way
you strengthen your moral fiber, Just as
you would . lncreae your physical
strength.

JfEW PASTOR'S MAIDEN SERMON
I Rer. D, It. Tarn be 11 Preaches at First
. Halted Presbyterian.
Rer. D. R. Turnbull, for the text of hla
first sermon as pastor of the Flrat United
Presbyterian church, chose John xlv:6
" "Jeau aalth unto him, I am the way, the
truth and the life; no man oometh unto
the Father? but 'by me."
Rev. ' Mr. Turnbull took for hi theme
Christ' self-declaration. "Ood hath spo
ken of Himself a tew plain words. Of
revelation He is the' one final comprehen
give word. , He is the truth. To know Ood
1 to love Him. Men rebel against. Him
because they do not know Him. It wa
not enough for man to have tha way to
.' heaven pointed out to him, but there must
be assistance to help him along the way.
Jeau says: , 'I am . tbe life.',. Abundant
life finding vent for itself Is happiness. He
first gave life to all living creatures, but
what w call life I but a temporary state
which give opportunity for the infusion
of real life. From Christ cornea the living
. spirit and from Christ comes the power
to renew that spirit. The more we have of
Christ the more we have ot life.
"If we are discouraged and downcast
we need more life and we must apply to the
life giver. Our blessed Redeemer alone
. comes to us and provide the Ufa. He says
"I am the life, and no man comet h to the
Hoi Father except by me.' "
An exceptionally large congregation wa
out to hear Rev. Mr. Turnbull. The tew
.: minister I but recently out ot seminary
and is the son of a prominent Pennsylva
' nla Presbyterian minister.

Tbe epistle, unlike the gospel of Bt
John, wa written for believer, wherea
the latter waa to stimulate conversion,"
said Rev. Mr. Fellman. "Therefore In hi
epistle tha apostle advise those who have
lready been persuaded to accept the doc
trine of Christ. Throughout the epistle
there Is a great deal concerning "sHylng, a
great deal about what we say about our-
eelvea, and It la taught that all the saying
I worthies unless we act accordingly.
'I think that our Protestant churches
have grown to place too much, dependence
upon this saying. Sometime we Judge a
meeting or an effort by what ha been
said there, rather than what has been done
there. And in many casea the saying will
not bear up very well under investigation
nd the searchlight of the truth. Often
the declarations are found to be very thin
nd evanescent statements.
"We should have less testimony and more
prayer lens talking and more good works.
Our religion is to do, not to talk about
bout what we have done or Intend to do."
BUYS A LITTLE EXPERIENCE
Man from Nevada Pays Seventy-Five
Dollars for a Lesson In the
World's Way.
August Jensen of Hurley, 8. t., enroute
from Wadaworth, Nev., to St. Louis,
topped off at the Union station yester-
ay morning between trains to get a aack
of peanuts, and while a block away from
the station paid $75 for one- lesson In ex
perience.. Mr. Jensen tells hla story in the
following manner:
I left Wadaworth a few days ago with
175 and a desire to see the World' Fair.
When I boarded the train at Denver I
became chummy with a stranger whose
name I did not learn. At Omaha we got
off the train together and started for a
walk. My companion soon found a small
padlock which he picked up and offered to
me, but I told him I did not care for it.
so he said he would keep It a a souvenir,
Then we met a man who wa looking for
Mr. Moore. , The padlock was shown to
the second man and we started betting
on whether the lock could be opened with
out a key. Presently a third man came
along and said: -
'I am a detective, boys. What are you
doing?' ....
Then he told us the law of different
states and sold that six month was tb
penalty here for gambling. After some
more talking I told the detective that I did
not want to serve six months; that I came
from a respectable .: family and that
would rather give the money than to go to
Jail. I gave him $75, aU. I had. Then the
first man said he would go . and get
check cashed and asked me to go to the
station and wait for him to oome back
with the money, a he felt it wa hla fault
that I had , gotten into the trouble and
thought that it would be no more than
right for him, to make it straight with me.
I went to tbe depot and waited for him
to come with the money, but he didn't
come and I waited some more and then
he didn't come and, then I started to think
it over and had some idea that, something
might be wrong, so I come to the police
station. No, you bet I won't do it again."
POLICE HAUL IN A HOUSE
Hook Portable Structure to tha Patrol
Wagon and Hold It for
Owner, . .
i. For several hour Sunday the police de
partment had a house on ita hand and for
a while It looked as if the good offices of a
little want ad. would b necessary to dls
pose of the new acquisition.
About a week ago someone left a port
able house in a vacant lot pear aeven
teenth and Chicago streets and resident
of that locality, fearful of the movements
of two men seen to go in and out of the
structure, complained to the police and re'
luested that the house be removed.. -Ac
cordingly Sunday morning Officer' Wilson
Vanou and Wooldiidge attaohed the wagon
to the end of the patrol wagon and took
It to the police station, .in inspection of
the house showed that it waa fitted up Tor
light housekeeping, but further than the
marking on some unwrapped laundry there
waa nothing to show to whom the struc
ture belonged. The laundry bore the name
of D. O. Clark and more or less, my story
clustered around the strange vehicle.
About noon a man giving the name of A.
Hughes and saying that he was a grading
contractor working at Florence called at
the station and claimed his own. He salil
he had met with an accident In the run
ning gear of the vehicle and had left K at
the location mentioned and expected . to
call for it on Bunday when, he would have

worth more than $4. Collins was arrested
as he was about to board a Bouth Omaha

were examined they were found to contain

' IN THE INSURAICE FIELD j
According to the best figures obtainable.
compiled by the Insurance Press, all of the
life companlea In the United State paid
out In the city of Omaha during 1903, $53,
425. It is estimated that at the present
time there Is about $S.00o,n00 ot life In
surance In force In this city. In the state
of Nebraska the total payments by com
panies during the year amounted to $1,618.-
S53. Omaha heads the list of cities as hav
ing received the largest amount, and Lin
coln comes second with $98,C4. Third on
the list is Nebraska City $46,670. The
total claims paid In the United State and
Canada wa $258,34S.553: dividend payment
amounted to $30,617,36S; cash surrender val
ue paid, $31,497,758; claims paid In foreign
countries. $30,0lO,(Xj, and estimated annui
ties, $6,000,000. These figures added make
the grand total returned by life Insurance
companies during the year which amounts
to $346,463,679.
According to the best obtainable record
there are in the United States two men who
carry in excess of $1,500.0110 Insurance, and
eight who carry $1,000,000 or more. The
$COO,000 list includes the name of twenty
seven. Forty-nine individuals carrying a
total of $26,000,000. The insurance written in
1908 In the United States amounted to about
$2,000,000,000. The industrial Insurance Is
sued In the same year was $600,000, making
tho grand aggregate of all regular Insur
ance Issued during the year, $2,600,000,000,
and this figure does not include the fra
ternal and assessment Insurance Issued. On
a basla of 300 working days In the year
this would mean that life Insurance during
the year was taken at the rate of $8,000,000
a day.
Fire insurance underwriter in Omaha,
and, in fact, all over the country, are see
ing a gradual decrease In their receipt
which they ' are powerless to check and
which is due to a gradual reduction of rates
on account of Improved risks. In ome
coses rates in this city have fallen from
$1.10 per $100 to as low as 35 cent per $100,
and a the agent are paid on a commis
sion basis their commission is, of course,
reduced with the amount of the premium
paid. The amount of business thus far
has not kept pace in increase with the re
duction in premium receipts due to the re
duction in rates. The sprinkler system is
perhaps responsible for more and greater
reductions than any other one thing, but
improvements In building and other mat
ters have entered largely Into the decrease.
A careful calculation has been made by the
larger companle of losse incurred on
buildings which are strictly modern and
equipped with sprinklers, and It has been
found that out of thousands of dollars in
premiums collected . the loss ha only
amounted to about 7 pet cent of the pre
mium receipts, while under the old system
of doing business, charging a high rate
on greater risks, the loss has reached an
average of 60 per cent of the premium re
ceipts on a great variety of business.
From the agent's point of view the worst
feature of the situation is that merchant
have discovered there 1 a great saving to
be made by Improving their risks, and
they are doing everything possible to bring
their buildings and stock up to the high
eat point of safety from a fire standpoint
to secure the lowest rate possible. Many of
the agent are now figuring on some plan
to make up the deficiency which must oc
cur in the future in their receipts due to
the changed conditions. So far, it seem
however, there haa: been no plan suggested
that will answer the purpose.
According to reports which come from
the annual convention of the Kuighta of
the Maccabees at Battle Creek, Mich., the
rates of that organisation are to be raised.
Commander Boynton, It Is said submitted
a proposal to the convention to raise rates
after October as follows: Between the
ages of 40 and 45. l cents per $1,000; be
tween ages 45 and 48, 25 cents; between
age 48 and 61, 60 cents, and an Increase
of 25 cent per $1,000 on amounts taken in
excess of the first $1,000.
A raid Is announced by the United State
government on Chicago "wildcat" concern.
E. A. Shanklin. 134 Monroe street, and Bte
phen Wesley Jacobs, 154 La Salle street,
have been arrested by the federal authort
tlea charged with obtaining large amounts
through the operation of "wildcat" con

Is alles-ed the conducted companies are:
Standard Fire, Germania Fire, Fire Assur
ance association. Farmers & Manufactur
ers. Great Britain of London, Royal Un

company, and Central insurance company.
It has been but a short time since In
surance Commissioner Pierce of Nebraska
Issued a warning against this class of con
cerns, who were flooding the malls with
literature offering Insurance at cut rates
to residents of this state. The plan of
operation of the concerns Is to send out
circulars offering Insurance at rate far
under the rates charged by regular insur
ance agents. When an application Is made
for Insurance" a policy is forwarded and
the premium collected. In case a fire oc
cur the holder of the policy looks In vain
for the company carrying the risk and
the party to whom the premium was paid
has moved to another location and changed
the name of his company In order to catch
another crop of suckers.
The fire record for Nebraska for the past
week is as follow:

Mr. Wood's most Intimate friends had
not heard that he was seriously 111 and
the news of his death came to them with
shocking surprise.
So unexpected was his death that Mr.
Wood had gone to morning services at
church and waa In her pew when her hus
band passed away.
Last Tuesday night Mr. Wood, In com
pany with Frank T. Hamilton, left Omaha
for Chlcagr on a business trip, expect
ing to be gone the entire week. Tuesday
Mr. Wood was seised by a cold snd hav
ing concluded his business In Chicago,
he decided to forego tho pleasure of a
visit there for the remainder of the week
and return to his home. He arrived here
Thursday morning and was driven to his
home, where he called a physician, who
nronouneed his ailment congestion of the
lungs. No Immediate danger, however, was
apprehended, and neither the ramlly nor
the friends of Mr. Wood were alarmed.
The health of the patient, however, hart
not been good for some years and he lacked
the vltnJltv to withstand a seriou illness.
He grew gradually weaker until he ex
pired from heart failure.
President Frank Murphy and Cashier Lu
ther Drake of the Merchants bank called
to see Mr. Wood Saturday evening, but
as he was then sleeping they did not dis
turb him, little thinking that when they
would return in the morning they would
find their friend and business associate
cold In death.
About ten year ago Mr. Wood had a
severe llness and slce then he I has never
been strong and hearty, although he has
been able to attend to business regularly.
