The mfmbfn of Immanuel Baptist church
at a meeting held yesterday morning voted
in favor of calling- He. P. II. McDowell
of Wlnterset, la,, to fill the pulpit which
has been vacant several months. The ex
pression was Informal and intended to as

tions for a pastor.
Rav. Mr. McDowell was heard In Im
manuel church recently and made a very
favorable Imprealon. Before extending the
Informal call, however, a consultation will
be held with a committee of the general
board of the church in Nebraska, which
has the matter of giving flnanalal aid to
tha congregation In hand. The exact In
come of the church from its congregation

The necrsity for changing the present
location of the church was discussed and
generally agreed to, although no definite

CHRISTIANITY

PRACTICAL
(Taenia of Dr. Jealts' Address t Toang
Men.
"Christianity Is Practical."
This was tha theme of an address deliv
ered before the Young Men'a Christian as
sociation at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
by Rev. Dr. Edwin H. Jenka, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church. The speaker
Illustrated his position with stories show
ing the practical side of religious life. lie
began at the foot of the cross on which
(be Savior died. He said:
"Jesus leaves His disciples and goes to
tha ctojs alone. Three women follow Him
at a distance. They are drawn by some
Invisible force. They are the three Marys
His mother. Ilia aunt, and Mary Magda
lene, the redeemed. Each one loves the
Bavlor. Each love is Inspired by a differ
ent motlv6. The mother tias seen the child
grow , up from Innocent childhood. The
aunt has known Him In His matchless min
istry. Mary the redeemed, the forgiven. Is
drawn there through the love inspired by
gratitude. Now they so Him as the con
demned criminal put to death. It is a
pathetic group, that one at the foot of the
cross.
"Jesus Christ is the One who can unify
the love of men. Here we have something
to stand on. It is the .one name around
which men center and And a solution of
tholr problems. The women at the cross
represent three distinct classes of society.
His mother represents the highest class.
Mary the redeemed represents the lowest.
The Bon upon the cross Is a descendant of
, David. Blue blood flows in His velnn.
"The gospel is today the only standard
of morality. There is not a civilized king
who does not bend his knee to the Lord of
hosts. George Washington, the peerless,
was one day found In the woods kneeling
upon tho snow and praying for succe3.
Lincoln, In the quiet of his room, promises
God that he will sign the proclamation of
emancipation if his armies are successful
and are saved, and he does."

UNIVERSAL dlEST FOR DIVINE
All
for God,
People Are Searching;
Says Rev. Yost.
Rev. Bober; Yost, pastor of St Mary's
Avenue Congregational church, preached
yesterday morning on "The Quest for
God." .
"That the world is seeking God and that
It Is concerned In finding Him Is certainly
true," said Mr. Yost "AH rauHlc, all lit
erature, all energy, all governments are
Interested one way or another In finding
God. Science traces back from one dis
covery to another to find a unit, one de
fined energy,', and If the scientist should
find It he would conBlUor himself a victor.
The painter seeks to discover the infinite
In beauty. The musician searching for the
lost chord Is pathetic, as he Is seeking an
audible expression for the inaudible ex
pression in his soul. A physician whom I
should want to attend my family would
be one strong enough to be searching after
the lnflnlt and eternal laws of health,
for there are such laws. A statesman
worthy of the name is a man seeking after
the eternal laws of right and Justice.
" 'We cannot see God; we oun't find Him,
therefore stop,' says the agnostic. All
the energies of the world are running to
am1 fro, dlRglng from the earth and try
ing to pull down from the heavens In their
efforts 'to tlnd God. Still the musician
searches for the lost chord, the painter for
Infinite beauty; still tha scientist searches
for sight, the statesman for light and t
physician for health. Tell yu . to stop
seeking God! As well telVyou to dam the
river. , If my soul crys out for comfort I'll
eeek' day and night for It and you cannot
top me."
REAL FACTS VERSUS FICTION
Trnth of Action by Omaha View and
Fake Report by O HI rial
Faker.
When the ballot was taken Friday even
ing as to whether the Omaha View Im
provement club should go on record' as
being In favor of the Issuance of the elec
tric light bonds to he voted on at the
comlna- election, the croDosltion was voted
down. This action was a most emphatic
repudiation of the bond proposition, com
ing sa It did Immediately after an ex
haustive address by Edward Kosewater In
favor of the proposition, lllustrate.1
throughout with many alleged statistics
of a Kosewater com Dilation.
Diverting somewhat from the subject In
hand, Mr. Rosewater declared: "There Is
only one man in 1,000 who understands the
Intricacies of the water irnestlon." and In
a brief and complicated explanation he
endeavored to create the Impression that
he was the one man who could ferret out
any and all humbua.
Immediately after the vote wan taken
the club extended an Invitation to Presi
dent F. A. Nash of the electric IlKht com
pany to attend the next regular meeting of
the club, Friday evening, November 4, to
aauresK tne nun and explain the nature
and extent of the reduction he has of
fered the city In the price of arc street
lights. This added much to the discomfit
ure of Mr. Rose-water.
The club voted to extend the boundaries
of the club, which now only extend to
Thirtieth street on the east, to Twenty
fourth street. Five new members were
taken in. About fifty members of the club
were present.
OMAHA, Oct 30. To the Editor of The

of Saturday, October 29, I desire to say
that no such action was taken as Implied
In that report I presided at the meeting
and put all motions that were offered. The
club did go on record and a motion to
that effect was unanimously passed that
the club was In favor of the municipal
ownership of all public utilities, Including
the electric lights and water works, and
In the same motion an invitation was ex

the next meeting of the club. Mr. Nash
had been Invited to, be present at this
meeting or send a representative, though
neither appeared, even though the meeting
was much delayed by the nonappearance
of Mr. Nosh or his representative.
Mr. E. Rosewater was present at the
meeting and delivered a very Interesting
and Instructive address upon the electric
light proposition. Many were present who
had never before met Mr. Rosewater and
were very favorably Impressed with' his
address. The motion endorsing municipal
ownership of public utilities was passed
after Mr. Rosewater made his address.
Mr. E. P. Morearty was present at the
meeting and made a speech opposing tha
bonds, and he was followed by several
other short addresses by other parties, all
of whom spoke in favor of the bonds. In
fact, the Omaha View Improvement club

PROGRESS OF APPRAISEMENT
Opinion of Buiinewi Yen on Work of the
Board..
THINK CITY HAS FARED WELL THUS FAR
Official Who Follows Proceed I aa; B
Hews People Will I ltlmately Get
Fair Valuation oa tho
Plant.
"The progress of the water works ap
praisement thus far has been very sat
Isfactory from the city's point of view,"
said an official who has been connected
with tha proceedings. "Bo far nothing,
whatever, has developed adverse to the
city's claims. While there is much in dls
puts, I am confident we are going to get
a fair valuation of the plant
"The appraisers hope to get their work
completed bv January 1. and we have
urged them to accomplish this If possible.
When they meet again, November 25, tho
water company will occupy several days
In finishing up the submission of its case.
Then the city will want four or live days
to put in lta evidence. After this will
come the arguments, which may take up
several days more. It probably will re.
quire a month for tha appraisers to make
and announce their findings.
Wbea Report Comes In.
"When tha anoralsers have reported, the
next thing to do will be to call a special
election for the purpose of voting Donas.
If the company is reluctant to accept the
price agreed upon it will be necessary to
sell the bonds and tender the money; if
not arrangements may be made to trans
fer the bonds In lieu of cash.
"It la expected the appraisers will make
separate reports on each part of the plant
as it exists in the different cities and conv
munltles that is, a separate report for
Omaha, Florence station and the pipe
lines between and reports for South
Omaha, Florence, Dundee, Benson and
East Omaha.
'There is no way of telling whether the
water company will try to induce tne
outside communities to buy the pipe lines
within their borders or will go Into court
to try to make the city of Omaha buy the
whole. In this connection I hear it pro
posed to have the legislature create a
water district this winter, which would
take In all the territory in dispute and
have it issue the bonds and control the
operation of the plant
Up to this time there Is nothing to
show what valuation the appraisers may
put upon the plant. . It is now a certainty
that the water company could have pre
pared its showing in one-fourth of the
time it took had It acted upon the sug
gestions of the appraisers to appoint one
man to have sole. charge of the Inventory.
Price of Pipes.
An Important factor of the appraisement
will be the price of the pipe upon which
the appraisement will compute this part of
the system. The cost has dropped from
15 to J6 a ton since the appraisement be
gan. The water company insists that the
price at, the beginning of the appraisement
should bo used, while the city holds that
the current price or the average for the
last fourteen years, which is about the
same, should be used. Inasmuch as there
are 52,000 tons of pipe in the system in
Omaha, it means about $250,000 one way or
the other.
'There is not going to be much question
regit ding the value of the buildings, ma
chinery and foundations in the pumping
stations, but the river work and rip-rapping
at Florence will be a big Item of dis
pute. The city's contention is that a great
part Qf the river protection on the Nebraska
side has been unnecessary, whereas much
on the Iowa shore is inefficient. Unless the
latter is properly cored for sand bars will
form over the Intake at Florence and
mask it
When he accompanied tha appraisers
over the works Captain Ruger declared that
after he had built only one crib on the
Nebraska shore the current was deflected
from the works and the cutting of the bank
stopped. On the other hand Captain Rey
nold's testimony brought out that the river
at Florence had practically the same for
mation as that near the Burt street sta
tion, where the vagaries of the curreiU.
have greatly Interfered with the source of
supply.
Bart Street Station.
It has been demonstrated that the Burt
street station, has become practically use
less, although about 1,500,000 gallons of
water ore pumped from there dally, and
that a coBtly parallel supply main to Flor
ence is imperative in the near future. Very
little will be deducted as depreciation of the
pipe lines as they are comparatively new
and in good condition.
In other waterworks appraisements It
has been found that the distributing sys
tem has been worth about half aa much as
the whole plant In Omaha I think It will
prove of greater proportionate value to the
whole plant The city doea not contem
plate much difficulty regarding the Rey
nolds patents. Inasmuch as they have been
put In and used by the company with the
Inventor's acquleaence."
City officials who have watched the
waterworks appraisement closely say they
are convinced the valuation of the Dlant
111 be upward of $3,000,000, and In any event
not more than $3,600,000, basing their
opinions upon the proceedings of the last
week.

LOBECR ON PASS QUESTION
Citj Comptroller Blames People for Evils
Among Publio Officials.
SAYS CONSTITUENTS DEMAND FAVORS
Take It for Granted that Office Holder
Can Provide for Transportation
and Bore Him with
Requests.
City Comptroller Lobeck declares the
people are largely to blame for the use of
railroad passos by public officers. In dls
cussing Joseph W. Folk's recent speech In
Omaha against boodle, and corruption, he
said:
mere is not a city councilman nor a
city official In Omaha who does not have
from one to a doxen requests each wrok
from constituents for railroad passe and
half fare rates. The requests come In tho
form of demands. If an official does not
try to obtain the favor he is denounced
as Impotent and ungrateful to his friends.
If he does go ahead and procure the passes
he necessarily has to put himself, more or
less, under obligations to the railroads.
"This condition of things prevails In
Omaha today and has for a long time. It
has come under my personal observation
time and again. Only Saturday morning
a man came to the office and asked us to
get him transportation to some little town
out In the country- I referred him to
political headquarters.
"It Is not the poverty-stricken clashes
who demand these favors from city offi
cials and railroads, but many who are
well-to-do but who sharo the universal
dislike to pay railroad fare whenever they
can get out of it
People Source of Evil. "
"The pass system may be bad, but If a
public officer has scores of citizens con
stantly rushing to him and asking him to
In turn request favors from the transpor
tation companies, how can the officer help
feeling that the sentiment of tho people
is not against accepting free rides on the
railway lines whenever they can be obtained?
'Much has been said against the evils
of accepting railroad passes and its dan
gers toward the proper administration of
city, county and state affairs, but very
little has been done to get at the real bot
tom of the matter. It Is a positive truth
that every officer In the city hall from
mayor down is constantly besieged by rep
utable citizens who actually want him to
stand in the good will of the railroads that
they may save a few dollars.
'The real source of the pas system lies
In the people, after all, I think. If publio
officers are elected merely to carry out tho
wishes of their constituents and the desire
of their constituents Is to get free trans
portation, how can the former be held re
sponsible for the conditions?"

A representative of the Falrhope Single

a colony at Falrhope, Ala., on the western

Falrhope was established about ten years

formerly head of the department of mathe
matics at the Peru Normal. "The idea
was to make a working model of the single
tax Idea. We have a tract of 1,500 acres
beautifully situated on the bay. There are
over 300 people In the village. The land Is
owned and controlled by the company,
which numbers some of the most prominent
single taxers. Nlnety-nlne-year leases are ,
given to whoever wishes them, with an an-
nual adjustment to equalise tha varying
advantages of location and natural quali
ties of the different tracts to convert into i
the treasury for the equal benefit of all its
lessees ail that value of the land not due
to the labor or expenditure of the leasees
upon it. The company pays the state and
county taxes from the rentals and the bal- 1
ansa must be used in local improvementa
"Lesseea are allowed to use the land as
they desire, subject to the provisions against
a use offensive to the majority of the mem
be re. A town with Industries and business
eoual to the most flourishing villages In
tha north, with equal natural advantages,
la the result. After paying the taxes three
fourths or four-fifths of the Income Is left,
and with this free bath houses, a pier 1,800
feet long, a landing, a free library of over
2,000 volumes, a school house, windmill
and tank for free water supply, warehouse
facilities, and a free telephone Una have
been provided. A steamer of ninety-three
