The flrat Roman Catholic church In the village of Florence was dedicated and cleaned by Bishop Bcannell Sunday morn ing and the first ceremony of the mass celebrated within the walla of the edlfloe. Five hundred persona or about 100 more than the temple could hold comfortably Attended, Including Count John A. Creigh. ton . and P. C. Heaey and parties, and many others from Omaha. Solemn high mass was celebrated by Chancellor A. M. OoUnarl, assisted by Rev. P. A. McQorern na master of ceremonies. Rev. A. Flanagan a deacon and Rev. Jamea Dobaon a aub-d-con. The inuilo was supplied by Mies Balft and the cathedral choir. Rev. M. I. Btiltch of Crelghton university preached the torowii. The new church cost $1,700. It la built of frame on the aide of an eminence In the south part of Florence and la about one block from the car line. The architec ture la simple, but effective, and the walls covered with creosote ahinglea lend an air of aubatantlabllity and pleasing color. The Interior Is plain but relieved by small Oothlo windows. ' Fennder la a Yessg Man. .To D. J. CNell, a young man employed In the Union Pacific headquarters at Omaha, la given the credit for the conatruc tlon of the new church. Mr. 0"Nell. on moving to Florence, found about 100 Cath olic families there and In the contributing territory, who were Inconvenienced by the distance from the Omaha parishes. He set about to encourage Interest In the church project and his efforts met with prompt response. Mr. O'Nell. at the dedi cation, had general supervision . of the ceremonies. For the present no regular pastor will be assigned to the new parish, but mass will be said every Sunday by Omaha priests. According to the custom the new church was flrat blessed by the bishop, who, at the rear of a procession made up of little girls 'In white, altar boys and priests, Walked clear around the structure, pro nouncing ecclesiastical approval and asking the Creator to acoept It. Meanwhile the congregation stood under the large trees In front, where hung a large American flag. After 'a brief Interior blessing the mass waa sung. ., Sermon by Father StrlteH. In hie discourse Rev. Father Strltch quoted frequently from the Sermon on the Mount, where the faithful , were assured that If they built their house on firm ground It would stand the shocks of time and na ture. ' Such a foundation the congregation had selected, he declared, and he detailed reasons for making the statement. "The occasion 1 one ot distinct re joicing for the new congregation," said Father Strttch. "It is by such aots as yon have Just completed that the church hat been gradually built up throughout all nations of the earth. The faot of what you have done shows you have faith In the great teachings ot Ood; hope la His prom isee to give you the means of salvation and love as displayed In the real desire to keep Hla commandments, do His work and carry out His precepts. i i "Hera you have built a home for Ood and we are now consecrating your action. Make up your minds that your Lord will not be lonesome In this tabernacle. Ood will find little pleasure dwelling In this church t He does not dwell. elso.'ln your heart. ''Our congratulations are due the people who have worked hard and faithfully, making many sacrifices and overcoming many difficulties, to rear this monument to Christ Be assured the work will have its own reward." CHARACTER OF THE HEREAFTER Masaar of Eteralty aia Scea by Dr. Oorat. Dr. William Gorst, - the new presiding elder, preached In the First Methodist Epis copal church Sunday morning and cele brated the quarterly communion service. Dr. Oorst spoke on the body as the temple of the living Ood. He said in part: "I wonder If the church dwells enough on this body? I have been surprised in the last few jfeara to. find how little Jesus said of the life to come beyond the grave. He said enough to make ua sure He aaw a life In the hereafter, but most of His words were of the present life. 'The body is the tomp'.o of the living Ood.' I believe In some way the personality of the Holy Spirit will dwell On earth in the bodies of the righteous. In some incomprehensible manner there will be the Incarnation of the Ood-head in the human body and It will become . the throne of divine rule on earth. - Jesus himself In his life was a marvelous Illustration of this. His life should seem a life of horror. Ood on earth among the. vile and dreadful men who persecuted Him almost to the death and in "the end took Hla life. Wo find thla wonderful Man putting His arms on the shoulders of two of His apostles and going out . and walking in a high place. There waa a' sllenoe. Wo can feel it And in that Hence may be felt the footfalls of spirit ual presence he, who ascended . in the chalrot of Are and all the prophets step with silent tread in the presence of the persecuted. Then from within that heart itself, -and not from without, cornea the revelation He la Ood. I "This I believe will be the revelation ot Oodlike manhood. Tour bodies ahall be a living aacrlfloe, for tn them shall dwell all . the power of the Oospel . of the Son ot Cod. In the presence of - your neigh bora, amon' the ungodly, there will be a onuLblng that will make your preaence one, known to be linked with the divine prauhnpe on earth." . . DR. WALDENSTROM GIVES TALK Minister-Member of Swedish Parlla " meat Speaks of Church. A congregation which tested the capacity of the Bwedtah 4 mlHslon at' Twenty-third and Davenport streets, was present last evening. ' Twice before yesterday, at the morning and the afternoon services, large congregations- were present to hear Dr. P. Waldenstrom ot Sweden. Dr. Waldenstrom has been a member of the Swedish parlia ment and la also a minister of the gospel. HO did not speak In the evening, owing te the fatigue consequent upon his earlier .

SOZODOWT TOOTH POWDER poBahes the delicate enamel, but does not scratch, thus it prevents tho accumulates ci tartar, without Injuring the enamel, a property found only In SOZODONT. A s forms liquid. rowcut,'rm. efforts of the day. At the afternoon ses sion he devoted his remarks largely to a review of the condltlona In Stockholm. He spoke .In Swedish, and said he thought the city Is one of the most beautiful municipalities In the. world. Ho said of Sweden: Ninety-nine per cent of the peop'e can read and write. The 1 per cent is deficient In this respect owing to early Infirmities. Over 900,000 people have emigrated to America and it la expected the figure will be swelled to 1,500,000. Statisticians show It Is one of the most healthful countries) In the world. The Inequalities In the number of rich and poor are being wiped out. The poor formerly were largely in the majority. The ratio Is becoming equalised. King Oscar Is regarded as the best and the wisest ruler the country has had In 100 years. "In religious views the people are broad and liberal. The proportion of females born Is larger than In America and while the men arc the largest In the world, the most destructive disease there is tubercu losis. In one respect Sweden urpases America in Inventive genlua. Thla la In the matter of ita telephones. We have the beat telephones In tho world. We can hear a whlaper for several hundred miles and even the movement of a pencil over paper can be beard for long distances. Every church is connected by telephone so that Invalids and the Indisposed can hear the sermon at their homes. In Sweden the Instrument seems to have reached Its greatest perfection. The Inventor was a very poor man." PLEA FOR SOIX OF THE KKGRO Sermon by Dr. Wltkerspoon of Freed men's Board. Dr. J. W. Wltherspoon. secretary of the Board of Freedmen'a Missions, spoke yes. terday morning at the Central United Presbyterian church. Twenty-fourth and Dodge streets, on the aubject of "Freed men'a Missions." "The freedmen are as a class separate and distinct and are perhaps the most despised and hated race of people In this country.' Why Is It soT We know they did not come to this country of their own accord," said Dr. Wltherspoon. "If anything Is to be made of them and to confirm their cltlsenshlp it must be by the greatest effort and against the greatest prejudice. They are not able of themselves to break through their environment. They must receive the assistance of others and that other one Is the church of the living Ood. In round numbers there are 10,000,000 of these people In this country. Perhaps all of them In some way have heard of Jesus Christ They are very religious and at the same time very superstitious. There Is not In darkest Africa or Indlt a deeper superstition than prevails among vast mul titudes of these negroes In our own coun. try. It Is well to send missionaries to Egypt and India, but do not let ua pass by the 10,000,000 on our own shores. I speak cautiously and knowingly. We can go within twenty-four hours to these peo ple who speak our own tongue, while mla alonarlea are spending years to 'learn the language In foreign lands to preach the gospel there. Do not neglect the foreign fields, and, aye, do not neglect the home missionary field." HOTEL CLERK TAKES SILVER Oliver Perry Charged with Taking . Plate from Schllta Hotel. By tho arrest of Oliver Perry, a night clerk at the Schllts hotel, rooming at Nineteenth and Davenport streets, and the finding of a trunk full of silverware valued at 1500 and belonging to William Bu thorn, proprietor of the hotel. Detectives Mitchell and Davis have unearthed a clover robbery scheme. Perry arrived in Omaha last Friday and obtained a position at the Schllts the same day. Soon after his .arrival little losses were discovered and yesterday the sliver waa missing. Detectives Mitchell and Davis were put on the case and .managed to find a trunk at the Arcade hotel which, on being opened, was found to contain the missing articles. Perry was arrested and confessed to the police. It seems he rook the allverware from the storeroom piece by piece and after placing It In a trunk, had It sent to the depot along with the baggage of the departing guests. No one thought but that the trunk belonged to one of the guests. After sending it to the depot he recalled the trunk and had It sent to the Arcade hotel. Previous to steal ing the silverware he did the same trick with some clothing which he sent away In two grips. These were afterward found In his room. REPUBLICAN SPEAKERS HERE Campaigners Heat In Omaha After Work la State They Report Prospects Good, Omaha was the resting place Sunday of several prominent republican campalgnera. They stopped at local hotels and compared notes while resting up and getting the hoarseness out of their voices. Leonard Goodman of Chicago was one ot them. He was formerly president of the Hamilton club In that city and long prominently Identified with republican politics In the metropolis. He goes to Lexington, Neb., where he will speak tonight Ople Read and Charles Eugene Banks,' both also of the Windy City, were In Omaha on their way home after a campaign In , the Re publican valley. They seem to have found It republican all right. Congressman Smith of Iowa came in late In the day from Te kamah, where he spoke Saturday even ing.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH SERVICE System Owned and Operated by Govern ment Urged by . Bosewater. ADDRESS TO PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY Better and Cheaper Service Weald Bo Guaranteed Tbnn by Pri vate Ownerships Says the Speaker. Edward Rosewater addressed the Omaha Philosophical society at Royal Achates hall Sunday afternoon, taking for his subject postal telegraph and the benefits to accrue from the establishment of government con trol of this business through the Poetofflce department. In his opening remarks Mr. Rosewater gave an outline of the development of the telegraphic service, the conditions prevail ing before the civil war, the turning over of government lines to the various tele graph companies and the study of foreign service as conducted by England, France, Germany and Swltserland. "Among the inventions of the nineteenth century none has contributed more to the Industrial and social development than the electric telegraph," said Mr. Rosewater. "Credit has been given to Prof. Morse for the Invention of the telegraph, and un doubtedly he did Improve and Increase the efficiency thereof, and. In connection with Prof. Henry Sturgeon, make Improvements more valuable, although Wheatstone, In England and Stein hard t, Germany, were using electric telegraph before them. "It Is remarkable that of all countries only the United States docs not operate a telegraph system In connection with Its postal service and it would unquestionably have been doing so had we had an en lightened man at the head of the postal department sixty years ago, when Prof. Morse offered his invention to the govern ment for 1100,000. The professor secured 160,000 from the government for an experi mental line, and having given the aid In this way it was expected the government would have the benefit. Mr. Johnson ridi culed the telegraph as a sham and an il lusion. Prof. Morse then disposed of his right to private capitalists and this re sulted in the building of lines in IMS and the organisation of the six companies the Western Union, Electric, Dominion, Southwestern, Caton and West Mississippi telegraph companies. Divide Territory nnd Profits. "These six companies formed a mutual agreement to divide territory and profits. I made a statement before a congressional committee on postofflces urging the taking over of the telegraph systems. On the first day of the session of the Nebraska legislature In 1871 I Introduced a resolution calling on congress to secure, at as early a date as possible, the various telegraph lines and calling on our representatives In congress to use every effort in that direc tion. "In 1860, when the civil war broke out these six companies entered Into an agree ment to protect each other regardleus of the needs of the government. I was in Washington when Lincoln ordered the cut. ting off of communication between the north and the south and these telegraph companies, operating In the south, sent telegrams by mall to Louisville and then forwarded them north by wire. When the war broke out the government took charge of the wire service and General Anson Stager, manager of the Western Union Telegraph company, was made manager of government lines. He was general super intendent and chief of the military corps and turned his salary over to the Western Union. "Now what became of the telegraph lines Of the government after the war? I surT mined that all we had built would be dis mantled and sold as Junk, but the gov ernment actually turned over these lines to the Southwestern company in settlement of all claims for use of Its lines and for damage in restoring regular business. Soldiers Paid Tolls. "The only use the government made of the wires was for military operations and the soldier sending a message home had to pay tolls. . "They speak now of patents standing In the way of government ownership. It is thirty-seven years since Morse took out his patents and surely they have expired and every patent expired in twenty-one years. I would sooner trust the govern ment than any organization. What right has the telegraph company to give out election news? Would the government give out news and express opinions this way and that? Does the express company open private packages consigned to Its care and give out contents? In 1899 the Western Union company received 88,000 for selling election news tV poolrooms, theaters, etc. it la not a function of a telegraph com pany. ' "I Insist on the government taking over all lines. The next best thing is to con nect the service with the Postal depart ment, i "I appeared before a congressional com mittee and expressed the opinion that 10 to IS cents a message would net a profit The consolidations that have always followed competition have resulted In enormous cost and Increased capitalization. "In 1861 a line was constructed under government subsidy from Omaha to Sac ramento and from there connection made to San Francisco on condition that not more than K should be charged for a ten-word message and government messages sent free. Soon the company built a loop by way of Denver And the government was forced to pay more for the use of the loop than the cost from Omaha to San Fran cisco the price being I1S0. "If the government used the postmaster as a telegraph operator the business would be properly done and a vast number ot people served who are now not In a posi tion to use the wires. The excuse that It takes years to make a telegraph operator Is nonsense. A boy of 1 will be an expert at 20 or never. Inspects Foreign Systems. "Borne years ago at the request of Post master Oeneral Wanamaker I made an examination of the telegraph-postal serv ice of England, Germany, France and Switzerland under the most favorable con ditions for research. Steps were taken In England in 1868 to acquire the lines of pri vate corporations and In 1870 they were acquired for 150,000,000. The lines were In wretched condition because they had not been kept up. For the last twelve or fif teen' years the lines have returned a rev enue and paid interest on the bonds that were Issued to pay for thara. In England a message stamped with pence will be delivered any place in Great Britain. The people know that if their messages are over twenty words in length they must pay about H cent a word additional. Pneu matic tubes were used In connection with postofflces throughout London. It Is hu miliating after all our boasted progress that a private corporation is building a pneumatic service In Chicago to deliver mall matter. Why our government is -so far behind all other governments Is a ques tion. The best system is that of Swltser land, where everyone uses the telegraph, and I predict that in ten or twenty years there will not be an intelligent farmer who will not be connected with the postal tele graph office. "The German government operates the telephone and the people use It because It costs 14 a year. The United States gov ernment operates the wires between Seat tle and Sitka. It operates a wireless sys tem In Alaska and why It should operate the wires In Alaska and not In Nebraska I do not know. The government also runs a complete line In tho Philippines. X Danger of Politics. "England and Germany deny reports of the service degenerating into a, machine for the perpetuation of any party. In Ger many a man cannot be dlschsrged without a court-martial, and any attempt to in fluence a vote would result In England In a parliamentary investigation. There are new mechanical appliances that enable operators to send 3,000 words a minute. Think of that The fastest speaker cannot say 160 words a minute and the fastest thinker not over 200 words In the same time. When the new transmitters are In use under government control, who would want to send a letter when messages could go so fast and so cheap? "When the government shall pass legis lation and the states as well, when people can use the invention of the age, then every farm house will be connected with a postofflce and every postoffice with every other postofflce and the only letters that go through tho mall will be missives of love and crooked correspondence. We have 21,000 free rural carriers, and there Is no reason why the barbed wire fence should not be used for telegraph and telephone. "The Postofflce department has never made any money. Twenty million dollars could be saved from special subsidies to railroads, where the big leaks are; from the burden of franks. "With the government in control of the telegraph, messages would be longer, the service better and it also would guarantee privacy and safety of people's private matJ ters the government would not sell pri vate Information for revenue." EASY-GOING PEOPLE OF SOUTH Virginians Seem to Be Loslnsr Oppor tunities to Advance, Saya Brad Slaughter. Major Brad D. Slaughter, paymaster United States army, who has but recently returned from the army maneuvers near Manassas, Va., said of conditions there: "There Is a very noticeable lack of the spirit of enterprise In the sections of tho country over which the maneuvers were given. It may possibly be the Virginia way, but to us who came from the west. It seems they are losing lots of good oppor tunities. As an Instance, the troops were eager for fruit as an addition to the regu lar army rations and there was an abun dance of fruit In the country, but the peo ple lacked the energy to gather It and sell It to the troops. The orders, you know, were very rigid against foraging. We 'passed orchard after orchard, the trees of which were falrfy breaking down under their load of fruits. Thousands of bushels were going to waste and not the slightest apparent effort to save or dispose of any of It. Then their farming methods belong to a goneby generation. I do not remem ber seeing a riding plow In Virginia. The people reminded me very much of Wllklns Mlcawber. patiently and sleepily waiting for something to turn up. However, they were hospitable and as a rule courteous, dignified and highly Intelligent. Of course all the labor and drudgery ts done by the negroes Just as In the old slave days. Some of the farmers, or planters, as they are called there, are rigidly bound to the role of crop rotation and In such cases the farms are well kept, but their methods are slow and tedious. What Virginia needs Is a generation or two of new blood. It Is a state of limitless capabilities that only Only want enterprise to make it one of the great producing states of the union."

OMAHA MEN RETURN FROM BAR CONGRESS General Manderson Says Hot Weather Was Only Thins; Which Marred the Meeting In World's Fair City. i Nebraska's delegation to tne meeting of the American Bar association has returned after moving for a week In an atmosphere of oratorical splendor at St Louis. Among those from Omaha who attended the ses sions were General Charles F. Mandcrnon, Judge Eleazer Wakeley, United States District Attorney Irving F. Baxter, Ralph W. Breckenridge and John L. Webster. General Manderson has presided over that body of Jurists and lawyers for two suc cessive sessions. When Joseph F. Choate, the United States ambassador to England, was president of the association he found It Inconvenient to be at the meeting and General Manderson, the vice president, pre. sided. The following year he was elected president of the association. General Manderson said for the first few days It was exceedingly hot and people suffered from the heat. The heat was, ho said, great and made It exceedingly un comfortable for the crowds which are now pouring Into the city. "R'iresentatlves were present from all parts of the world and many of the for eigners read Important papers," said Gen eral Manderson. "These papers were pre sented in English except In a few cases where the foreigners were not familiar with the American langunge. In su-h cases tho papers were printed and translated Into English. The discussions were all In Eng lish and most of the foreign speaking dele gates could understand the language well enough to follow the debates, although they were reluctant to speak and were often difficult to understand owing to tbelr ac cent. "The American Bar association has been In existence twenty-seven years and It has accomplished a great deal of good as the result of these annual meetings. Numer ous measures for the general good and welfare of the public have been made to congress and state legislatures. Board of Arbitration. "It has been Interested In an International board of arbitration and was one of the factors in bringing about The Hague con ference. Another successful mission has been to secure uniform state legislation in regard to the government of negotiable Instruments. Uniform divorce laws also have been accomplished with some success. "Another end to which the association has directed its attention is a more satis factory maritime law. The urgent need of such law3 particularly with regard to de termining contraband has been noticeable since the war of Japan and Russia. The last named country has held as contriband goods which America, France and England have regarded as not proper. "The meeting of the association was fol lowed by a three days' session of the In ternational congress of lawyers and Jurists. Nearly all the European governments had representatives,. Including those of China, tajapan, Argentine and Brazil. One of the most prominent representatives from abroad was Sir William Kennedy of the high court of Justice of England, who Is a very able and scholarly lawyer. "Some attractive social functions were arranged. One evening a banquet was given the bar association and congress by the exposition managers, President Fran cis presiding. The event was given In the banquet hall of the Tyrolean Alps and 1,000 guests were present. There were addresses by Justice Brewer of the United States supreme courtj Henry St. Oeorge Tucker of Virginia, the new president of the bar association; James Hegeman of St. Louis, ex-president of the association, and the accredited delegates to the congress from Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Chlqa, England and Canada." General Manderson made a brief address upon this occasion. . "The Board ot Lady Managers also gave an entertainment 4ef this kind. The most important action on the part of the con gress was the passage of a resolution ask ing the American Bar association to take steps for the, organisation of an Interna tional bar association, composed of repre sentative lawyers of all the nations and to meet periodically for the purposes of ad vancing and bettering the' cause of Juris prudence.' s HOLDUPS HURT FLORENCE MAN Highwaymen Get Fifteen Dollars from Their Victim Before Being; Frightened Away. Hearing cries for help during the early hours of Sunday morning, Duffy McVey, anemploye at Betts' barn at Fifteenth and Capitol avenue, ran Into the street and found Frank ZIgler of Florence Strug, gllng In the grasp of a powerfully built man while another was going through his pockets. On seeing McVey the men re leased their victim and fled. ZIgler was spitting blood and bleeding from a knife wound In the palm of his hand. He said he had come to town for the Ak-8ar-Ben festivities, and having missed the last car was walking the streets when the men set upon him. One of the men placed a hand over his mouth, but as he persisted In struggling the fellow ran a finger down hlx throat, Injuring the tonsils. The other nian, who had a knife. went through hla po kets and when ZIgler tried to prevent this, slashed - at him, cutting him across the hand. They secured a pocketbook with $15. How to Get Health Tho Secret of Restoring Health Lies In Replacing the Same Substances to the Body That Have Become Impoverished or Wasted By disease, overwork, worry, expo sure or abuse. When you are run down, getting thin, weak, and tire on the slightest exertion, the life and strength of your blood are wearing out When you gTow irritable, melan choly and nervous your nerve force is decaying and vitality is becoming low. Dlbease acts on those whose blood Is watery, impoverished or, impure, and never aJects persons who have plenty of rich ani pure blood. Dr. Chase's Blood and Nerve Food supplies what is lacking in the blood and nerve force. It contains everything that makes new and rich blood and perfect nerves, in fact. It is blood Itself the very essence of nerve force, making It the grandest of all tonics for the sick, convalescent and overworked.
