Re K. ComMe Smith of the First Meth

morning on "Christ in Modern Life,'' tak
Ing hU text from I Corinthian. 11:2. "I de
termine to know nothing among you stve
Jeu Thrift. nd Him crucified." Dr.
Hinlth said. In part:
"Ve nre not to Infer that Paul had but
one meiwijre. II" was many-lded. ver
vain woikr-r. He milted hl theme to his
congregation. ' At Antlorh he entered tha
snn(?ojru ani preached to the Jew from
the Old Testament. It was their book and
they knew it. On the Acropolis, In ths
jrreeenoe of Oreo art and Its beautiful
Tnunumnnta of a-rhltecture, beside the blua
mountain snd the shimmering sea, he
tsIVod to them of Oreek poetry and phil
osophy, for these they understood. At
Phil.lpp! ho became street -preacher. Ha
held open-air meetings by the river; and
i' ths Jail he held a prayer meeting at mid
night, where muny were converted. In
Corinth., the city of wealth, luxury and
pleasure, he opposed their materialism by
saying thnt conscience Is more than Imagi
nation, spirit lister then Intellect and that
moral iiuetlons lay at the basis of all
h u men, happiness and life.
"An Kngllsfc writer has recently said:
Terhips It would have been better had wa
teken our religion- from ths Greek, rather
than from the Hebrew.' It Is In respect
in, thin that Paul lays down his challenge.
"What Is the gospel? What do we mean
by ths eroeet I It something wa receive
for nothing from ths skies, or Is It self
rmumiiiitlon for fellow men? One hundred
year go two men were supreme In the
world. Napoleon, supreme In the world of
action and Goethe, supreme In the world of
thougkt. On said. 'What can I haver The
other,- "What can I know?' One said.
What can I do?' The other said, "What
csn I become? Goethe ha been charged
with lark of patriotism, but he gave to the
world a' new life of thought, while the
dreams of the other fell as a baseless fab
ric V" the ground.
""Foul1 ; hundred years further back:
Thomas a Kempls said, .'Crush the desires,
love God.' Put religion Is duty, rather than
the Joy of sense and the sanctlflcation of
the common life tha brightest exhibition of
Ws power. God wants other heroes' than
tlioee who lead on a great battlefield. He
has many saints besides those who In pic
tures west1 a halo round their head.
"Florena revived Greek art and gave us
teachers who have been the world's mas
ters ever lnee. Bavonarola. with burning
eloquence, called on the people to make a
bonfire of their Jewels In the market place.
Ts the Purlten or the Cavalier rljrht? One
would expunge art and burn the hot blood
In hi veins out; the other clothes art in
lnri-enoy an?l makes It the subject of Im
purity and sin. But life Is life, the youth
l. with us, the birds sing, the flowers
bloom, the curve- of beauty entrance the
rye. What Is religion? The sanctlflcation
of tha aesthetic nature, the culture of the
pure Imagination the control of paeelon
and the exercise of reason In the soul."
PASTOR DUXOt TAKES FAREWELL
Prearnea Ills I .eat Sermon at Clifton
Hill Church.
. In his farewell sermon at Clifton Hill
Presbyterian church at the morning ser
vice Rev. R. M. Dillon chose for his sub
ject, Johq xvi:7, "Nevertheless I tell you
the tuth; It Is expedient for you that I
go away."
"There Is nothing that will reveal the
latent selfishness In man," said Rev. Mr.
Dillon, "like suffering. If you would know
eelnahnes you should go where suffering
exist. Christ was the unselfish man.
Having loved His own disciples . while In
the world. He loved them to the end.
Pen d the prayer He uttered at this time
and you will find not one word of anxiety
for Himself. It was all for the disciples.
' T'iven when they were nailing Him upon
t e cvr, JTe cnl.i, 'Father forgive them,
for thy know not what they do.' '
' "Why did He have to leave the world
which ITe came to aava, so soon? I will
try to show you what our gain was In
Christ's leaving. The Impression made by
'material objects always become weak as
these objects become, familiar. Before
thlrg can have a continual Joy It must
become Idolised. We all' know how much
more Influence His life had upon His fol
lowers after He bad gone than while He
was here.' Realising this. He said, 'If I
ani Uftt-d 'Up f'wii! draw ail men unto
r?ta - Many a 'man has not been moved
by the love of his wife until she has left
tha fomlly circle, 'you and I are better
men and women today than If Christ had
remained upon earth."
THey. Mr. PHlon eonoluded his sermon
with a f w remarks to his congregation
which related to his Intended departure,
nid t'oiumrnilpd to them that they leave
all matters pertaining to the church work

BH GE1TIK WITH THE USBELIKVISCI
v. Thems Aerso Tells How to
Deal with Skeptic.
Rsv. Thomas Anderson at Cslvary Bap
tist church at the evening service spoke
from Psalms lv:t. "The fool hath said
Irt his heart. There Is no God."
"This seems harsh langusge wlti which
to charge our ears," said Rev. Mr. An
derson; "On first thought It seems Incon
siderate to that fine feeling whlob the
scriptures elsewhere enjoin upon us. At
all events we ssy it does no good and
shows a lack of tact to hurl our epithets
at such a one and call him a. fool.
"When you find a man groping In the
darkness do not call bim a fool. Maybe
he wishes to find God. -He may want to
know Him; rather help hlrn to see the
light by kindly words In place of calling
hlhi a fooL It Is sometimes the case that
doubt Is the result of superficial learning
and shallow thinking. We need not dis
criminate between the different kinds of
skepticism or of atheism ltelf. It needs
only our pity and our sympathy. We need
to go to such cases with words of cheer
and hope.
"The Bible, the God trf the Bible and
the Christ of tha Bible have only the
utmost sympathy and patience before such
a one. They are willing to go all the way
and even down to the very level of the
doubter and lead him Into the light, even
though tb doubt be of the very darkest
character. Tt is not this kind of doubt
to which the text refers. Not to. the tem
porary doubter who wishes to have his
spirit conquered, but to the one who likes
the life he Is leading; who does not de
sire to be interfered with by the presence
of God. What a man wishes to believe he
will eventually come to believe. The
wishes of the heart are the mother of
the errors of the head. Tou may not be
long to that class which says there is no
God, but you must live up to your faith.
We come eventually to believe what we
live."

WHAT ZELLER SAVED COUNTY

with Cases la the
PaaC
Tb elf-deanictlon of M. W. Teller, who
murdered his wife and her fathr. W. R.
Durkamp, near Forty-second street and
Redlck avenue, on July . worked a prob
able saving to Douglas county of at least
li.OOO, for that Is the average cost to con
vict a murderer in Omaha. Borne convic
tions have been obtained for 1500 or XK,
but they are exceptional cases, and as a
genoral thing It cort from 11,0(10 to 11.800
to make a murderer expatiate for his crime.
Had Zeller pleaded guilty, the costs would
have ben gratly minimised, and he might
have been hanged at a total cost of not to
exceed J3X). Hut, supposing that a plea of
Insanity had been made, the chances are
that before he wss dropped from the scsf
fo!d st Lincoln a bill of something like
fl.SoO would Le awaiting payment by the
county.
What tha Record Show,
A casual Investigation of the records
show that Douglas county has paid out a
good many dollars In order that Justice
might be meted out to Individuals taking
the life of another. The hardest fought
oases, of course, were the most expensive,
as the county wa compelled to pay for
the board and keep of the prisoner while
his lawyers were contesting for his life,
while the prosecution often had to expend
urn in trucking down witnesses, bringing
them from a distance, drawing special
venires of Jurymen and the like.
But even in the case of an ordinary
"cheap" murderer, who has not a cant to
his name, the expense comes high because
In this case the court invariably appoints
an attorney to defend him who is capable
of earning a good fee. The amount usually
allowed for services of this kind Is $500, and
custom has made this sum the standard
where the defense really plays a hard and
earnest game. s
Assistant County Attorney Magney thinks
that Zeller would have made the plea of
Insanity and that a trial would have been
hold that would have cost not less than
n.000, not Including a possible appeal to
the supreme court, a new trial, or the
hanging expenses, which latter would not
have come to more than O.OXi, as all execu
tions now are held at Lincoln, where a
permanent scaffold Is erected. The costs of
the accused's lawyer would have becn
about $500 and the expanses of the case, In
cluding witness fees. Jury fees and charges,
sheriff's charges, court coats and Inci
dentals, about 1400, allowing $lno for the
maintenance of the prisoner, or 200 days at
GO cents a day.
What Reed Has Cost.
The caao of James J. Reed, who shot
and killed the woman Glenn Hlnes last
year, already has cost the county about
11,200 and Is not yet finished, as an appeal
for a new trial is to be made soon and
the case carried to the supreme court. if
this fails. There was no more doubt In
Reed's case that he shot and killed the
woman thnn there was that Zeller stabbed
his wife and father-ln-luw to death, yet
the prisoner Interposed a plea of Insanity
and his lawyer Instituted a sharp contest,
for which he has already been allowed $500.
. One of the hardest fought murdor trials
o( late years was that of Barney McGinn,
In 18S3. According to H. H. Baldrlge, who
was an assistant county attorney at the
time, the two trials of McGinn cost Doug
las county not less than $o,UC0, and possibly
more than that sum. It would require a
patient and painstaking search to ascer
tain the exact amount. MoOlnn was a
Janitor in the public schools, and active
on the Catholic side in the helghth of the
American , Protective association . uproar.
He shot and killed Ed McKenna, a well
known contractor, as the latter was oross
Ing , Ames avenue near Twenty-fourth
street, his arms laden with groceries which
he was carrying home.
In the trial T. J.. Mahoney was ap
pointed counsel for the defendant, and
made one of the hardest battles of his
career. McGHnn,v on the first trial, was
convicted and sentenced to be hanged. A
new trial was obtained through a suprern
court mandate, but McGinn wag convicted
the second time and sentenced to life Im
prisonment, lie was afterwards pardoned.
Another Expensive Trial,
Another murder trial that cost the county'
a good bit of money was that of George
Morgan, In 18f6, who was found guilty
of the murder of 11-year-old Ida Oaskill
In a vacant house at Seventeenth and
Howard streets. The difficulty In the Mor
gan case was to provei beyond doubt that
he was the man who committed the mur
der. More than $700 were paid out in wit
ness fees alone, and the total cost, Includ
ing hanging, mounted up to about $2,600.
A special venire was drawn, costing1 about
t?00. -This murder was a sensational one
and created a vast amount of public inter
est. The little girl was found in a fright
fully mutilated condition and Morgan waa
convicted practically on the testimony of
her -y ear-old brother, who declared that
he had heard Morgan refer to meeting Ida
Just before she disappeared. ,H. H. Bald
rlge, as oounty attorney, prosecuted the
case, and Robert Montgomery and W. A,
Patrick defended the prisoner by order of
the oourt.
The county got off rather cheaply In the
prosecution of Claude H. Hoover, In tha
same year, although the cab was a sen
sational one. It cost about $1,500 to con
vict Hoover, who killed Bam Dubois, a
former policeman, a brother-in-law of
Hoover's and a well-ksown man In the city.
Formerly a custom .ad existed in Doug
las county of awarding the sheriff several
hundred dollars eaoh time he was called
upon to execute a man, but this was not
dune in tl oases of either Morgan or
Hoover. ,
A famous case that failed was that of
Elizabeth Beechler, who shot and killed
II S. King, and waa aciuttft-d upon the
defuiiae of temporary Insanity. The county
was not called upon to furnish counsel
for the defens. and so the expens to the
public was but about $1,000.
Recently Ioaao Chninbara has been sent
to the penltentlery for life for killing his
brother, Joseph Chambers, In December,
W 2, and a number of men accused of man
slaughter and murdtr sentenced to various
penitentiary sentences with expense In each
case at less than $1,000.

be used in connection with the nomina
tion. C. 1. Smyth of Omaha, former at
torney general, who was expected to come
out as a candidate. Is hanging back and
his friends Insist he is not looking in that
direction. Ihe same Is true of former
Chief Justice SuUlvan, who has been
showered with bouquets for everything
from liie vice presidency down, but keeps
IiiHlstlng he has had all the running for
oIlce he wants Just row.
M. F. Harrington of p'Neill, though a
populist, has been mentioned by the demo
crats as a man who could unite the two
fuctlons and make a safe race for the
governorship, but he, too, has been put
outBide the pale.
Only Three In the Field.
This leaves only three men In the fleld
who are now seriously considered in con
nection with the nomination. The- first Is
former y Governor James E. Boyd of
Omaha, who priues himself on being the
only democrat who ever landed In the
governor's chair In Nebraska. Governor
Boyd has' resumed political activity and
was much In evidence at St. Louts with s
view of getting In touch with the boys.
His chief competitor seems to be former
Congressman Shallenbcrger of Alma
Harlan county and tho Fifth district. Mr,
Schallenberger is a banker and has the
money to spend. He Is corralling delegates
already with the Help of certain ' In
fluences said to have aided him when be
was running for congress.
Aa against Boyd and- Shallenberger the
populists are pretty well centered on Judge
Silas A." Holcomb, who proved to be their
best rote getter in a number of cam
paigns. Tlolcorob still nas a year ' to
serve onj the state supreme court bench,
but his admirers think he could be pre
vailed on to give up his Judicial position
for a chance to go back Into the executive
ofBce. Holcomb is a receptive, but not
an .active candidate. He has gone to
Seattle and will be there until after the
convention has met and adjourned, Jjut he
will not object io the submission of his
name for the gubernatorial nomination.
"The great trouble Is going to be on
any fusion whatever," said a prominent
umnomii who nas neen active in several
campaigns In Nebrnska .and ' is now not
by any means In the background, "although
either of our two preferences Boyd or
Shallenberger would be willing to lead
forlorn hope for the honor and prestige
van without fusion.
Different State of Affairs.
"Conditions have changed. Heretofore
the difficulty .In Nebraska has been to get
the riemncrnta tn h- irhi.
time the chief trouble is to quell the dis
turbance among the populists. The popu
lists are convinced that they have been
deceived by tho democrats, who have
knuckled dffwn to Parker and the Wall
street, gang, and some say they do not
see bw they could conscientiously tie up
with any democrat who la tied up with
this corporation combination or Wall street
nominee."
Here It may be recalled that Colonel Tib
blea, on the populist ticket for vice presi
dent, has issued an ultimatum that be
fore fusion on state office will be even
considered the democrats must accept the
populists' presidential electors pledged to
vote for Watson and Tibbies, Just as the
populists came In foui years ago on Bryan
and Stevenson electors
Several other populists declare they only
find fusion now possible by the democrats
accepting ail populist candidates nominated
by the populist convention. The demo
crats, on the other hand are begging fori
a division of the spoils. , They want the
governorship, which naturally suggests
that they think this ts the only office of
which there is a chance of winning.
"If the democrats could name the man
for governor they might be willing to let
the populists have everything else below
this on the ticket," said the man already
quoted. "As a general cor.eequence an old-
fashioned, all-night deadlock between the
two state conventions Iwill not be wholly
unexpected."
