.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.

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.

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."

LAWYERS OF ALL NATIONS
Distinguished Attorneys from Many Lands
Gather at St Louis.
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. It
restores vim, vigor and vitality to
aged and worn out people, and im
parts a glow of health to pale and
sallow people. . Price CO cents. -
