Horns of Tint Christian Church Set Aside
for Worship.
HALF COST PAID AND HALF PLEDGED
(oHmiiloa Service la riacrd la
Church by Charter Members aa
. , Memorial to Former Paator,
lltT. J. W. lanrarn.
The new tabernacle of the First Christian
church, on Nineteenth between Farnam and
Harney streets, was dedicated Sunday
morning.
The congregation pledged itself to con
tribute more than $3.7(K) on the paymenta
due. The new tabernacle, which was only
begun a few weeks ago, will cost the
church 14,000. One-half of this has been
paid and the other half was pledged yes
terday. On the kits, which face on Far
nam street and on the back of which the
temporary house of worship has been
erected, $12.0(0 is still due, one-third of this
being due December 12.
Dr. F. M. Raines attempted to raise this
amount and made a very successful effort,
but fell a little short of the mark. The
Woman's Aid society led with a $.100 dona
tion. The following men and women
pledged themselves for $200 each: Messrs.
Drake, Oarlock, Taylor, DeBord. Parker,
Saunders and the Young People's Society of
Christian Endeavor. The $100 list included
C. K. Smith, W. W. Slabaugh, Messrs
Soutimeyd, Braner, Todd, Ransom, Van'
Fleet, Delamatre and the choir. Half that
amount was given by Messrs. and Mes-
damsa Kellogg, Pleak, VanDusen, Best
Walker, Ruplo, Baker, Myers, Chastlne,
Ferry, Reed, Haugh, Miss Wheatley and
the Sunday school.
The First Christian church has had sev
eral homes and a number of rented apart
ments since It was first organized In the
00s. The. first place of worship was at
Fifteenth and Harney streets In a black
smith shop. Iite In the '70s a frame build
ing was erected opposite the Bnchelors'
hotel on Farnam street, west of Twentieth.
In 1SR3 this building was moved to Twen
tieth and Capitol avenue, where It was
used until Its collapse in 1902 during the
national convention. Since that accident
the congregation has used Germnnla hall,
the Schllts building nnd the Patterson block
t Seventeenth and Douglas.
Three- Service la Dedication.
The dedicatory services consisted of the
money raising ceremony in the morning
beginning at 10: SO o'clock, a communion
service, at 8 o'clock and an evening serv
ice. In the morning Rev. Mr. Dutcher, the
pastor, introduced Dr. F. M. Raines, who
Is connected with the financial part of
mission Work. He preached on the things
for which people of the Christian church
have to be thankfu). He thought people
should be thankful for the present pros
perity. The times in which we live were
the best and this country the richest of all
the world. A second thing for which to be
thankful he found In the upward moral
tendency of the country, shown in v the
great building of churches and in the ut
terances of prominent men. The prosperity
of the Christian church was another bless
ing he noted, saying this society was grow
ing more rapidly than even the Catholic
church. The last In his list of thankworthy
conditions Was the growth and prosperity
of the locl church.
In the afternoon Rev. H. J. KlrschBteln
of North Side church spoke and Rev. Mr.
Dutcher presided. In the evening Dr.
Raines again occupied the pulpit.
Memorial Communion Service.
A unique feature In the day's ceremonies
at tin tabernacle was the installation of a
very handsome and valuable communion
service. It was given as a memorial to
h la)a Rev. J. W. Ingram, who was pas-,
tor of the church from 1878 to 1S83, during
which period the original building was
ertcted at Twentieth and Farnam streets,
just one block from the present location.
The charter members of the church, their
' children and grandchildren presented this
gift. Many of the donors are now residents
of other states, but still retain and cherish
the old love for their former pastor and
the First church, which has grown so
large and prosperously since they wor
shiped In Its original home.
This service consists of a weathered oak
table, chairs, individual service and com
munion linen. While no elaborate ceremony
attended Its Installation a spirit of deep
solemnity and lmpresstveness was manifest
In memory of the beloved pastor now dead
and the little old church building in which
these scattered friends worshiped long
years ago. Recollection of that humble
'home; as compared with the present taber
nacle, presented 4 vivid and affecting con
trast. '
MAIf AND HIS RESPONSIBILITY
Potest ' Factors Heeded to Vitalise
Life's Work.
At the Hanscora Park Methodist church
yesterday morning ' Rev. Clyde Clay CI a.
sell preached from I. Chronicles xxvlll., 10:
"Take heed now, for the Lord has chosen
thee." He said: .
"The Bible Is an evangel of God to hu
man personality; it Is the literature In
which roan Is exalted and his responsibility
continually emphasised. Almost at any
age In the Bible story we may happen to
.read we find man In the foreground; the
tory, of creation la not dynamic until we
hear the counsels of God decreeing man's
advent; the tragedy of the fall gathers
around man and It Is bis folly that casta
' Its pestilential .shadow over the ages fol
lowing; when we took at the cross stand
ing at the focal point of all history and
changing laws and lands and life It le the
man, who suffers there that holds our eye
In wonder and auprlae. Everywhere through
the atrutch of the scriptures we see God
endeavoring to come Into touch with man
and man ever seeking to come into touch
with God.
"When the hour strikes for the making
of a peculiar nation the Divine Master does
not breath His purpose Into the masses and
forth, from many hearts forge the ligaments
of a kingdom; He wakes the thought of a
nation In the heart, of a faithful man;
Abraham of Chaldee beholds the eternal
vision of the Almighty sifting Its glory
through his heart and follows the vision
from home and kindred because he feels
himself ohosen of God tor a great work.
When Christ founds His church He selects
Individuals. Now It Is Matthew; now It
ia James and John by their boats and nets
on the borders of the sea; at one hour all
tha future of the Christian church was In
a small boat upon the little sea of Galilee.
"Such a spirit In our churches today
would solve all our financial problems;
such a sense of personal responsibility
would vitalise all efforts for personal
evangelism; such a personal note would,
hasten the long delayed triumph of many
moral reforms that to our shame are still
In shadow and' uncertainty.
"Well do we remember the story that fell
from the lips of a soldier In the rebellion.
When four brothers had preceded him to
the fields of blood and tears his own heart
was fired to Join them. But a father's
tern counsel and a mother's Imploring
tears held him back. One day aa he turnea
the furrow across the field his heart fell
to pondering the suffering of the war and
the urgent need of men at the front. Then
the flames of patriotism completely en
veloped his young and loyal heart, and
leaving the plow In the furrow he stole
' " M iia Aelda te tins aaarby town and,
presenting himself to the recruiting office,
was hurried away to the front where men
were needed.
"The church Is In a battle extending over
centuries on engaging all the forces of
the soul. When the hour Is at hand In
which we shall f(?l like leaving the plow
In the furrow and turning away from all
material strife of gain nnd glory to give
ourselves altogether to the chosen work,
we shall stand on the threshold of an
other pentecost, whose blessing shall be
the full redemption of our fallen race."
FAITH AS THE Bt I.WARK OF LIFE
Trustfulness "Theme of Sermom by
Rev. A. 8. C. Clark.
Communion services were held In the
Lowe Avenue Presbyterian church yester
day morning. In his sermon, the pastor,
Rev. A. S. C. Clarke, took for his theme,
the message of the cross and drew a lesson
from the events preceding and following the
crucifixion. , Referring to the appearance
of the Savior to His disciples after the
resurrection, he said:
"The first feeling was that of fear. They
regarded Him as a ghost. He had to con
vince them that He was not a phantasy.
He showed them His hands and the wounds
In Ills side. Some men are afraid of the
contact with God. The message ' of the
cross Is peace. He came Into the world
unheralded as the Prince of Peace. The
elements of peace are so often lacking In
the Individual. He speaks to man as to
the waves of tha ocean. He assures men
that He Is not dead, but a living presence.
He wants the gospel disseminated. He
says, 'Even as the Father sent Me, so
send I you.' He sends out the disciples to
love and bless mankind. What a social
revolution would be created if man could
overcome his greed for self-aggrandizement;
If Instead of trying to see how much
he can get, lajs efforts were directed to
wards learning how best he could share
It with others. Christ took up a life of
endurance and suffering. The essential
thing in life Is not our business, but many
people make it so. It was not so with
Christ. He endured poverty, shame, de
nlal and death.
"The disciples thought the work was too
moch for them until Christ breathed upon
them the Holy Ghost. Faith Is the bul
wark of life. The child comes home and
says, 'The teacher said so,' and that set
tles .It. It bas faith. There Is neither Joy
nor power in the doubting man. Thomn
wanted tangible proof. Christ held out
His hands and showed the wounds. Thomas
saw the wounds and believed. Christ said
to him, 'Thou seest and belleveth; blessed
.are they who have not seen and yet be
lleveth.' The Red Sea and Egypt are be
hind us; the promise of the cross Is be
fore us. Christ looks down In His suffer
Ing and speaks words of encouragement
to the sorrowing and suffering. He holds
out the cup of hope that the whole world
may drink." ,
OOD TO STAXD ABOVE ALL. ELSE
Hev. Newman Hall Bnrdlck Points Out
Way to night Living.
On account of the poor attendance at the
Second Presbyterian church last night the
pastor. Rev. Newman Hall Burdlck.
changed the service from a young people's
rally, which was the original Idea, to a
song service. He took as his text, "Thou
shalt love thy God with all thy soul, with
all thy mind and with all thy strength,"
nnd opened by saying that every man has a
philosophy of living peculiar to himself.
'One man," he sold, "may have for his
motive In living pleasure; another may de
vote all his time to Intellectual pursuits.
while yet another may be engrossed In
business to such an extent that anything
apart from business he casts aside. But
then. again we have the ideal man, the man
who places God before (everything.
"It Is not necessary for a man to deny
himself healthy, wholesome pleasure be
cause he loves God, nor Is It expected for a
man to leave undeveloped the mind God has
given him, for the same reason. What I
point out Is this: Tou must put God first
In everything. A man may become so In
terested in science or art that to him that
science or art Is his god.
"One of the pathetic things to be found
in history Is In the life of Charles Darwin.
This great man. brought up with a love for
religion, sadly confessed In his evening of
life that his Intellectual pursuits had en
gulfed all else. Music, poetry, literature,
God, all at one time loved by him, were
cast away In his ardor of science. Every
thing that made life enjoyable, everything
that quickened the finer feelings In man
could not move him. Scientific research
was his god. Above all you do or have,
must you place God. If God does not take
a higher place In your heart than does
your business, your books' or your pleas
ures, give up your business, your books and
pleasures and keep God."
The choir sang several anthems, and
solos were rendered by Mr. Stuart, who has
Just arrived In this city from Liverpool,
England.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Delegates to Ba Chosen for Lire Stock
Association Convention.
PLAN INCREASED SWITCHING FACILITIES
Police Sweating Joss Kefford, Who
Is Charged with Asssalt Run
away Boys Sot Waste
at Home.
The South Omaha Live Stock exchange
will select four delegates thlB afternoon to
attend the National Live Stock association
convention at St. Louis October 20. The
South Omaha exchange Is entitled to seven
delegates. Three of this number being offi
cers of the national association will go as
delegates, but the exchange must elect four
others to represent the South Omaha mar
kot at the convention. The meeting which
selects these delegates is the regular
monthly gathering adjourned from Friday
for lack of a quorum.
Live stock dealers think not a great deal
of new business will be brought up at St.
Louis. Last year at Fort Worth the con
ventlon raised quite a stir by recommend
ing that the exchangee In the national aS'
sociatlon cut off the giving of free meals
to shippers and the sending of free tele
grams or telephone messages to shippers.
The question of cutting off sending mar
ket papers or other papers containing mar
ket quotations wis brought up and the
question 'was made a special matter of
business at the convention this year. As
for the stoppage of free telegrams and free
meals to shippers, this was left to a vote
of the exchanges. South Omaha was the
first exchange to vote on the proposition
and It carried, as the general talk at the
national convention had been along the
line of retrenchment. Other exchanges
followed the action In a half-hearted way,
but so many crooks and turns were found
to evade the sending of messages, the fur
nishing of meals and the withdrawal of
solicitors that the exchanges, one by one,
modified the rules adopted until now affairs
at the exchanges are much as they were
before last year's convention. There does
not seem to be any danger of the shippers
being compelled to go without free market
papers, as those who are Interested do not
think that the question will be brought up.
South Approach Completed.
TodVy the south approach to the Q street
viaduct will be completed. This approach
extends from the west end of the Q street
viaduct to Swift's office building. With
the north and south approaches open for
traffic, there will be no trouble In getting
to the Swift plant. The crossing of a dosen
or more railroad tracks at grade by teams
and pedestrians will be done away with,
and switching In this section of the yards
will be greatly expedited. With the com
pletlon of this approach It Is expected
that the Union Pacific will soon begin the
fencing of Its tracks from L street to U
street. When this is done none but employes
of the railroad company will be allowed on
the tracks. Additional switching tracks
have been planned and work on some of
these tracks will be completed before cold
weather seta In. There Is a' scarcity of
trackage In the yards at present, but with
the plans proposed by the building of the
O street viaduct, the construction of two
approaches at Q street and the fencing of
the tracks a great deal more room will
be provided for the handling of cars.
Kefford Being Sweated.
John Kefford, colored, arrested Friday on
suspicion of being Implicated In the as
sault upon C. W. Hodgins at Twenty
fourth and Q streets on the afternoon of
August 20. still denies his guilt. Chief
Brlggs and Detective Elsfelder have put
Kefford through the sweating process
twice. Each time he has told conflicting
stories. While in the sweating apparatus
yesterday Kefford' told the police where
he was at 6:80 o'clock on the afternoon of
the assault. This was looked up by De
tective Elsfelder and the statement found
to be untrue. Other statements made have
also proven to be falBe. The police think
they have the right man and propose hunt
ing up every bit of evidence It Is possible
to secure a clue to.
Two Rnnaway Boys.
Simon and Abraham Bardy, aged 14 and
12 years, respectively, are being detained
at the city Jail for having run away from
home. The lads live with their parents at
Fremont. Chief Brlggs called up the Fre
mont marshal yesterday and notified him
the boys were here. The marshal replied
he didn't care, as the boys came and went
whenever they pleased. He further said
the parent of the boys did not care
whether they were home or not and no
effort would be made to bring them to Fre
mont. Chief Brlggs will turn the young
sters loose today If they promise to return
home.

N
Ride May He Costly,
Seeing a horse and buggy without a
drlvrr wandering at Seventeenth and Clark
streets on Saturday night Roy Saunders of
2 a Miami streets thought ne would be
doing the owner a service by taking csre
of the outfit. Saunders, however, met a
girl who was "just dying" to take a ride
and he succumbed te the temptation, The
owner, L. D. Green of lilt Capitol avenue,
la the meantime had missed his nuggjr and
reported the loss to the pollre. Testerday
morning Saunders telephoned the police
that he had found a buggy the night before
and should like to give It to the owner. In
telling the police of his find he mentioned
he had placed the hnrse In a barn for the
night 'and paid the bill himself. This un
locked for Kindness made Captain Mostyn
suspicious and Detective Baldwin was sent
after Saunders. Once in the police station
Saunders broke down and said he had
found the horse and had spent a glorious
evening driving about. He was charged
with using a horse without leave.
DEBS DRAWS WORD PICTURES
Tells a Large Audience What Social
Ism Will Do for the Work. ,
Ing Classes.
According to Eugene V. Debs, socialism
is to sweep swsy all the incongruities and
Imperfections resulting from our present
system of government and usher In a Utop
ian condition of existence surpassing in
the perfection of Its details the wildest
dreams of the Imagination. Every person
living when the socialistic dream Is real
ised will have everything that can make
life worth living. The palace will take
the place of the hovel, poverty and suffer
ing will be banished from the earth and
the capitalist will become Unknown, This
Is the burden of the glittering promises
held out by the socialistic candidate for
president at Washington hall last evening.
The hall was crowded and the speaker held
the undivided attention of his auditors.
Mr. Debs had no plans for his mlllenlum
of universal peace further than that the
capitalist would lose his Job, while the
laboring man will own the machinery of
the world and pay himself what he earns.
Every person will become versed In art,
science and music, for he will have time
to study when that glad day comes. Mr.
Debs has grown to be a master In the art
of satire and ridicule and he kept the
audience convulsed with laughter. He de
voted a large share of his time to the
leading parties, which he held responsible
for a large percentage of the Ills of man
kind and he held up socialism as the only
panacea from the wrongs of. the present
commercial and political systems. He said
In part:
You build palaces for the rich that you
may rent a home. You pay the salaries of
the Judges and they paralyse you with
law. You make guns for the military that
mey may De usea against you when you
want better waees. You make silks and
wear calicoes. You make everything and
get nothing. The rich do nothing and get
everything.
Speaking of a government by- Injunction.
he said: ' -
Vhat In St rnvAramanl ttV Inlnnnlttn?
It Issues an Injunction to stop you from
doing something you didn't Intend to do
aim me next aay arrests you lor not do
ing it. It gives the courts the power to
try VOU Without a 1lirv anit r.mnvaa tha
last vestige of freedom vouchsafed by the
vuuBiiiuuun.
Th trust la the evolution of tha lihnnr
Today the capitalist is not a producer. He
m a, social parasite living on what others
produce. . You get a small proportion of
what you produce. Every state of society
us ienuu oi oinn, aeveiopment, ma
turity, decay and death. This is the day
of the capitalist. Socialism is not a scheme
nor a dream. It is the next inevitable
phase of civilization. The evolution Is not
yet complete. The tool is still the property
pf the capitalist. He Is the master and
lets you produce what you need providing
he gets the largest share of It.
There Is no excuse for poverty. Poverty
Is a social disease. We are on the eve of
another period of depression. They are
trying to keep it from you until after the
election. The depression is the result of
your Industry. You have produced too
much. The next thing will be the closing
of the factory. You don't produce to en
Joy; you produce to sell, to enrich the cap
italist. You get a smaller share of what
you produce than any other nation on
earth, not barrlnaf the Chinaman. Chinese
methods are primitive, but they get more
In proportion to what they produce than
you do. Economic revolution will come.
All trusts will be swallowed up by one
big trust that will control everything. The
ruling- class Is the only class In power
and we are all subservient to it. Even the
minister dare not preach the gospel In the
undiluted form - that the Savior preached
It. If Christ ere on earth today He
would be with the tramp class, who. are
the victims of the1 capitalist. We are on
the eve of a great change. The change
will bring about a system of co-operation
Instead of competition. The law of the
jungle still prevails. Man creates monopoly
so that the weaker eannot survive. It la
today th brain Instead of the bludgeon.
HOW TWO FELLOWS HAD FUN
One Improvises Electrlo Battery
Which Other Wears Up His
Sleeve on Midway.
A "good fellow" with an electric bat
tery up his sleeve and an acquaintance
that seemed to be as wide as the carnival
grounds, was one of the unscheduled at
tractions at the Midway Saturday night.
During the afternoon two young men
were arranging to go to the Midway on the
"closing" night and were revolving In
their minds how they might have some
real fun spmethlng new. One of them Is
a student at the University of Nebraska
In the electric engineering department. He

has progressed far enough !n his course to
become quite proficient and besides has
had some practical experience which makes
him somewhat of an electrician,
"John, can't you fix up something that
will give us a little fun over there to
night?" asked the young electrician's com
panion. "Why, I might be able to," replied the
young man and he got to thinking. The
upshot was that evening "John" equipped
his friend with a miniature electric bat
tery which was to be concealed In his
hip pocket and from which a wire was to
run down through his coat sleeve. Every
time he shook hands with anyone the
other fellow would get a good sited shock.
The thing worked like a charm and the
fellow with the battery up his sleeve went
around meeting old friends all night.
"We'l, well, if there ain't Bill; hnw do
j you do. Bill, old sport T Glsd to see you,"
would be the salutation as the hand with
i the electric battery communication went
out.
"I'm well. How are what the dev
great guns! what are"
But before the frightened fellow could
have time to recover and decide Just what
sort of thing he was "up against" the
man with the dynamo combination would
pass on to the next victim. Several fair
ones were "met" during the evening and
several fair ones let out screams that
plainly enough told of their "shocks."
It was rumored that one of the conces
sionaires heard of the trick and made
tempting offer for the man with the bat
tery to Join his company.
KNOCKED OFF SEAT BY CAR
Dave Whalen, Veteran Hackman, Gets
Severe Jolt In Collision
with Motor.
Dave Whalen, one of the oldest hack
drivers In Omaha, was badly hurt last
evening In a collision with a South Omaha
motor car. Ills horses were scratched and
his hack seriously damaged.
Whalen, whose regular station Is In front
of the Her Grand hotel, was Just starting
for the Union depot with a passenger
aboard. As he attempted to cut the corner
at Sixteenth and Jackson streets one of the
long motors dashed along, striking the
hack and throwing Whalen to the ground
and slightly Injuring the passenger. Rain
was falling heavily and Whalen said he
did not see nor hear the car. Whalen was
picked up unconscious and taken to a
nearby drug store by Dr. Waggener of the

PLEASED WITH WORLD'S FAIR
Members of Japanese American Lega
tion Say Their Nation's Exhibit
at St. Louis Is Good.
Y. Yunnenshl of Chicago and K. Nuno
of Shedsewka, Japan, were In the city
Saturday night, enroute to the Pacific
coast. Both are connected with the
Japanese legation In this country. Neither
of the Japaneso consented to be quoted
relative to Japanese and Russian affairs.
Both .had attended the World's fair and
expressed themselves as delighted with the
varied exhibits there and particularly with
the showing made by Japan.
"It will Indicate to the Americans the In
dustry and genjus of our people," said Mr.
Nuno, "and will have the effect of build
ing up closer trade relations between the
two nations. We manufacture many things
that you Americans do not and that you
need. It Is the same with your American
manufactures which we have not the fa
cilities for creating and which we much
need."
