HOW MUCH WORE WILL THE LORD STAND?
Rev. S. D. Butcher Asks This Qaretloa
la Astonishment at rutcrastlaa
lloa af Tkoi Called
Christ.
A normon which brought a snore or more
of converts to the platform at the clone
of the service was preached yesterday
i ,rnlng t the First Christian church by
Ilev. S. P. Duti her. the pastor. His theme
was "Why Hnve You Not Been Saved ?"
He said. In part:
"Jesus says 'And ye will not come unto
.Me.' I urn free to confess I cannot under
rtand why so many people are going to
pei.iitlon. , I cannot understand why so
many have been lortt, why so many are
)m;t, why so many are being lost. If salva
llfii were a courtesy Instead of a personal
matter we might understand why the great
n:nsse are so Indifferent. If salvation wan
f'lr the few we might understand. If the
theory of heredity and predilection were
true we might understand. Christ placed
no limitations upon salvation. It la not a
lilMiiiiKulMhed favor for. the few. Neither
race, condition, creed nor color Is barred.
"God's love has grown as the ages have
advance!. You r-Joct It. Why? You can
not s:iy you ! not believe. Qod gives man
no excise for ills'.n lief. 'I don't llko some
of the people In the church,' you say. 'I
cannot usyirinte with them. I am better
tlmn they and do not go to church.' It la
the nioFt nhsurd reason you can give.
Illustrates the Point.)
"Suppose two men are In prison. One
criminal Is pardoned by the governor. He
goes out. He offers pardon to tbe other
convict nnd he refuses It because the man
who went our first was a bigger alnner.
What would you think of auch argument
for refusing a pardon? 'My child Is too
young to understand,' is another excuse.
There are things In the Bible I don't un
derstand' Is another of your excuses. 'Two
thirds of my life Is behind me; I would
not now have the face to accept a salva
tion I refused earlier,' aaya a third. Satan
saying to the stooped and wrinkled, 'You
have delayed It too long; It Is too late
now.' What shabby troatment of I lings
divine. Every excuse brought forward to
Justify your own shortcomings. Men and
women are giving themselves up to selfish
Indulgence. Churches awing wide their hos
pitable doors nnd bid you enter. Papers
give generous apace to announcements of
entertainments and of public worship, but
you rejeot the Invitations. Where Is the
secret then to thla corrupt mass of lost
men and women? Yau cannot fling it in
the face of the pale and bleeding form upon
the cross, to the prayers of the ministers,
to the efforts of the Sunday school teacher,
to the self-denial ' of those who, working
day and night, lay the gospel at your feet
and with smiling faces and pleading Hps
are urging you to accept. It makes me
tired sometimes, thla indulgence of your
laay self to avoid salvation. Where is
your excuae? You bask in God'a free aun
ahlne, you breathe Hla free air, you drink
the water and eat tho bread and butter
which He glvea you and you return all
these blessings by criticising God and of
fering excuses. How much more can the
Son ( God stand? How much more will
He stand? How many of these miserable
excuses wilt He accept?
" 'Ye wruld not come that ye might be
saved.' What excuse are you going to make
thla morning? Can you give a good ex
cuse?" YISIOS OP JOH1 OR PATHOS
Dr. Bnrdlck Preachea om Subject at
Lowe Avenue Church.
Rev. Newman Hall Burdlck preached at
the Lowe Avenue Presbyterian church yee
terday morning on the vision of John on
the isle of Patmoa, taking his text from
PkuIius xxxiv, 5: "They looked unto Him
and were lightened and their faces were
not ashamed." Hev. A. S. C. Clarke filled
Dr. Burdlck's pulpit at the Second Presby

"It is a fact," said Dr. Burdlck, "that we

cially fond. Man showa In his face hla pro

always tell a mlnlHter on sight, a physician

will be reflected in our faces and so, too,

Jesus Christ when in conversation with
God was perfectly white. John on the
lonely island of Patmoa aaw the vialon

By the carea of business and social
life we u-so up or waste away the moat

Memorial Lutheran church now meets.
The great reformer waa horn November

a high day. It Is especially dcdicatfl to
the service of home missions end a heavy
offering was made for the extension of
the church work In the United States.
The auditorium waa scarcely large
enough to hold the children of tha
Sunday school and the elders who had
gathered to hear them recite and sing.
The large chorus choir sang one of th?
regular hymns after which the special
service began with the marching song.
"Hark! the Tramp of Coming legions!"
Henrietta Schnetz, Hatty O. Bilx. Madeline
Elsen and others give short recitation
fitting to the occasion. The primary de
partment gave some pleasing class exer

to mlselons when the other things for
which money goes are considered. Among
the songs were: "The Church's One Foun

"Come With Singing," "The Son of God
Goes Forth to War," and "Here Am I,
Lord."

Rev. 1 P. Hammond Cloaea Series
with the Children.
Rev. JC. P. Hammond, the children'
evangelist, devoted, his attention to children
at tha regular morning service in the Cas
tellar Street Presbyterian church Sunday
morning. Several hundred rosy-cheeked
and bright-eyed little onej gathered before
him and showed they were Intensely inter
ested In the words of the preacher. Rev.
Mr. Hammond, after lifelong work wl'.h
children. Is able to preach to them with
great effectiveness as. wan plainly demon
strated. Only a few remarks were ad
dressed to the adult members of the con
gregation. His advice to the men and women waa
simply along the lines of prayer. He urged
them, to pray fervently and frequently and
to surrender themselves to the Influence
of the Master. To illustrate his belief in
the efficacy of prayer, Rev. Mr. Hammond
related , several Instances from hla long
career as an evangelist.
Rev. Mr. Hammond told the children that
little things, such aa little souls, Utile sine,
little prayers and little ''turning points"
are In reality not "little" but great.
'But Uie greatest sin that children make
is in not loving Jesus," aald the evange 1st.
"If they do thla their other sina will be
forgiven. But tliey must love the Lord
that bled and died for them and remember
that Ha considers their soula and their
welfare as great, aa valuable as any."
Rev. Mr. Hammond closed Sunday a very
successful revival at the Castellar atreet
church. He will sat out tod-jy on a tour of
a number of large towna in Nebraska,
AMBITIONS THAT NKVEU COMB
Napoleara anil Moses Two Examples ef
Disappointed Men.
Rev. . W. Conley of the Flrat Baptist
church preached yesterday, morning on
the theme of "Moses at Meunt Plsgah, or
Ambitions Unrealized."
'There are two pictures always present
In my mind of ambitions unrealized," sa d
Dr. Conley, "that of Napoleon at St.
Helena and Moses as an old man aitting on
Mount Ttsgah leoking across Jordan into
the Prewlmd. Land. He was permitted
to see it with his eyes, but eould not enter
therein. His ambition waa nearly realized,
but he could not attain it. Ha waa put
in training for forty years in tha land
of MIdliv,i, but he had reached tha limit of
the condition. The reason that ha could
not entr therein waa that he had at one
time sirred.
"Ther seems to be a popular concep
tion of the gofpel that the greatest ainmr
shall, by the grace of God, become the
greatest saint. I do not believe tin is a
means of grace. Disease is not good for
the body, it is a curse; so is sin a blight
ing thing and a curse. Moses' sin shut
the door of the Promised Land to him. The
gospel does for man what God did for
Moses; it forgives. Yet forgiveneaa cannot
bring back what it loat. Maaon Long, the
reformed gambler though earnestly da
voting hla later life to the saving of souls.
waa constantly haunted by the evils ke
had wrought in his early daya. We can
not sin with Impunity; we must in some
way pay the penalty. But God will for
give. Salvation means Divine favor and
fellowship."
BOOK FORGING AS A BUSINESS
Man Who Makes a Princely Income by
Imitating: Blndlnxs ol fa
mous Books.
"Book-forging Is my business," said an
elderly man on a roof garden. Ha had been
drinking and thla made him more communi
cative than wise.
"Yea, air, I urn a book forger," ha con
tinued. "I make money at it, too. Last
year I made $7,500."
"What, may I ask, is book forgery?" said
tha man'a companion.
'I'll tell you. It ia the binding of old
books in auch a way that people think old
maatera bound them. I can take an old
book worth, aay $5, and I can put on it a
Droller binding that will make It worth
1200. That will only be about two days'
work Jl Ho earned in two days.
"I uaed to bind books legitimately at a
bindery, and my salary was 15 a week.
"Well, one duy a rich patron brought a
roller to the Bhop to be repaired, and I,
Just for fun, copied the binding. Then I
got hold of an old French pamphlet and 1
covered it with the forged Grolier binding
I had made. Afterward I took the volume
to a dealer in old books and ha bought it

vThat atarted ma in the business. I made
a atudy of tha finest old bindings that ex

were the great artiste of the time and
their bindings in the libraries of Francis I,

GIANT RAILROAD COMBINE

STANDARD OIL BEHIND COLOSSAL SCHEME
Details of Great Plaa Sala to Be

nated. If what a Chicago Sunday paper aaya la
true a railroad combination of auch mag
nitude that Its contemplation ataggera and
bewilders the senses in being developed by
the financial giants of this country and
the details already have reached a point
where it la believed there is no longer a
doubt of the realization of the atupendous
scheme. The alleged plan haa under con
sideration the amalgamation of all the
railroad corporations of tha country Into
one gigantfc system.
It is said the Standard Oil intereata,
headed by a dozen eastern Napoleons of
finance, are backing the scheme. They ex
pect, with their almost unlimited wealth,
to control all the railroad systems of the
country and prevent competition among
the various lines.
The plan la to divide the railroads of the
country Into a few groupa or systems, each
one of which la to own a substantial in
terest in the stocks and securities of every
other big group or system. In other words
all the proposed groupa or systems would
be under the one control but grouped into
systems for purposes of easy management.
Each group would be represented on the
various boards of directors.
Vaat Combination of Wealth.
The combination is to control over 160,000
miles of railroad valued at 15,000,000,000. It
will see to it that all the roads are man
aged economically with the rates kept up
to as high a figure aa the tariff will permit
in order to pay good dividends on the enor
mous capitalization. The recouping of the
systems haa been going on for some time
but the plana are not complete. Moat of
the American roads are Identified by strong
traffic agreements with other roads, but a
few still maintain their independence.
Anion these are the Lackawanna, the
Great Western, the Minneapolis, St. Louis
& Iowa Central, the Lehigh Valley and the
Moffat road.
The San Pedro road which Senator W.
A. Clark of Montana started to build from
Salt Lake City to the Pacific coast was In
tended to be an independent line. He
started east from the coast. The Oregon
Short Line, a Harrlman road, waa started
west to head him off. They met at Call
entes, Nev., and locked horns In a canyon
In the mountains. There tho two interests
were chained tight and fast but Senator
Clark finally succumbed'and Harrlman.se.
cured control of his road and it is Being
rapidly completed.
The Vanderbllts control many of tha New
England roada. J. Plerpont Morgan con
trol.i many of the southern lines. The
Illinois Central ia classtd with tha Harrl
man system. The Rockefeller millions, the
wealth of the Moore brothers, of the Goulds,
of J. J. Hill, of Harrlman nnd the syndl
cate which he represents, all these moneyed
interests are more or less intermingled In
the various railroad Interests of the coun
try.
Btickney la Consulted.
It Is said that A. B. Stlckney, president
of the Great Western, which is owned by
foreign interests, was approached more
than a year ago to aacartaln if his road la
in tha market and the terma upon which
the control of the road would be aeoured.
Tha Santa Fe also is owned largely by
foreign capital, but it ia kelievad thla sys
tem could be secured and taken over. It
certainly la in no poaition to make a long
fight against the intereata which would be
pitted against it.
It is reported that tha Rockefeller and
Harrlman interests have secured large
holdings of stock in the Santa Fe. .The
Harrlman syndicate controls a vast system
of railroads between the Mississippi and
the Pacific coast; the Vanderbllts and the
Standard OH company, back of whioh are
the Rockefellers, control vast syatema in
the east; the Moore brothers ramify tha
middle west and extend east and west with
their vast interests; J. J. Hill centrola the
Northern Pacific system and he is behind
the Burlington system. The Northwestern,
which is now talking of building to tha
coast, is bucked by the Vanderbilt mtlllena.
What is to prevent the plans of these finan
cial monarchies from going through? Thay
are already more or lesa Interested la each
other's property. Each money power awns
more or less of the sacurltlea of ita com
petitor and rival. A combination of all
these Interests would permit the reduetlon
of many expenses, would permit mora
economical management, besldea tka cur
tailing and cutting of corners which would
mean greater dividends.
Besides the railroads, tha somblnation
would have an interest la the steamboat
monopolies of the Atlantic and the steam
ship interests of Hill and Harrlman en the
Paclllc. In short, if the present plans do
not full,' it will give the new railroad ool
losus a grip on two-thirds of the world and
that the combination will be formed is now
almost certain.

and talked of better days and the uncer

"Do you know these dry leaves we are

though eloquent sermon," remarked the
Careful Observer, as ho filled his pipe and
lit .a match. "Last spring these leaves
unfolded In their freshness to cheer an
awakening world. They symbolized the
return of spring. In the summer t me
they cast a cooling shade on a prtsphing
humanity. Finally they outlived their use
fullness, like a'.l things material, and
after having filled their mission, in the

them. Like man, they return to the dust

their presence felt; they do not persist
in staying on the branches in their tere
and yellow state. They accept the In
evitable without a murmur, as it were. It
is a pretty thought, do you not think?"
"Oh, give me a chew," replied the Oldest
Inhabitant. "My thoughts are running
more to pie at this time, although I am
trying to perish tho thought. As the poet
wrote, 'Leaves have their time to fall and
ao have men,', so let it go at that and talk
about pie and indigestion."
But the Careful Observer was obdurate

tioned to Commlssloner-clect Tralnor and
so la Dr. W. C. Buel. In point of l.-rm of
residence In Bouth Omaha Dr. Davis has
the start, as he has resided here for seven
years and has always taken an active part
in republican politics. Dr. Buel moved to
South Omaha from Bellevue a few years
ago and has built up quite a practice.
These two are the only physicians who
hnve so far announced themselves as can
didate for the position.
As for aststant county attorney the
name of A. H. Murdock Is frequently men
tioned. In the words of those who are
familiar with sv.rh affaire he Is con!dered
the logical candidate. Whether Judge Mur
dock will take the place Is a question. The
salary s lino per month. Henry C. Mur
phy Is also a candidate for this office and
his friends declare that in case Mr. Mur
dock declines the position It will be given
to him.
Charles Alstadt is circulating a petition
asking for the appointment as superintend
ent of the county diHpensnry. He has al
ready secured quite a number of signers ta
the petition.
Old and Kew Carpets.
Now that the city has entered Into a
lease for another year with tho agents for
the building occupied by the city some Im
provements are being made by the munici
pality. Instead of the old torn straw mat
ting, whioh has for years partially covered
the floor In the council chumbcr, linoleum
has been laid, making quite a change In
the appearance of the room. Some new
chairs are to be purchased and possibly a
new table or two. In the city treasurer's
office the old matting ia to be taken up
and the floor partially covered with llneo
lounv It will be the same In the clerk's
office. These two office floors will look a
great deal like a crasy qpllt with a strip
of covering here and there and the balance
bare and worn boards.
While these few improvemente are being
made the treaaurar and clerk have called
the attention of the finance committee to
the lack of room in the vaults for the
storajre of records. Ia the clerk's office
the wooden frames for holding records are
breaking under tbe weight of their loads
and unless something Is done will soon give
way. What is wanted in tho clerk's office
Is a steel file case. Records for years back
are piled in the vault in an Indiscriminate
msss and It would be a day's work to find
a document if needed. With a new filing
Case the clerk says that he would go over
the records and file the papers toi order and
have every document where it could be
reached in a moment's time. The olty en
gineer la compelled to keep his profiles in
a wooden oaae and should there be a fire
In the building the work of years might be
destroyed. While ateel file cases cost con
siderable money the oounoll does not feel
that It can go to the expenae at thla time
and the chancea are that little If anything
will be dons to help out the overcrowded
condition of tha vaults. The expenditure of
about M00 would procure aultable cases for
the filing of old papers and profiles and
there is an urgent request that this be
done at once, aa the a-iarters occupied by
the city at present are far from being fire
proof. Finance Committee Flam res Bills.
On the face of tho appropriation sheet
the recent election cost the city of South
Omaha S6S4. This sum was due tho board
of registration and the Judges and clerks
of election. The Judges and clerks were to
receive I2S2 and the registration board $432.
From this total the sum of 156 was de
ducted by the city treasurer for personal
taxes due, showing a total cost to the city
of 1330. The registration books cost the
city $99. Warrants for the members of
the election board and the registrars who
do not owe taxes will be lsuued by the city
clerk today.

WOMAN TAKES CARBOLIC ACID
Disconsolate Because Her Lover
Takes 1 1 with Another
Woman.
A woman giving her name as Mrs. Nora
Bidwell, an inmate of a house of ill fame
at 110 North Tenth street, drank an ounce
and a half of carbolic acid yesterday after
noon at 2:30. Dr. Arnold of the city physi
cian's stuff was called to attend the wo
man, and later another physician waa
called In. Dr. Arnold administered antl
dotea aa soon aa he got to the house, and
afterward the two physicians did every
thing possible to relieve the unfortunate.
At a late hour last night she waa still
alive, with a fair chance for ultimata re
covery. The would-be aulclde had a soldier lover
named Dellle Crawford, who on Saturday
evening took up with un acquaintance of
the Bidwell woman. The new favorite ao
monopolised the attention of the soldier
that hla old flame sought to drown her
chagrin by getting drunk. It was while
In this condition that she topped off her
llbutlons by swallowing the acid.
After partlullv recovering from her
stupor Mrs. Uldwell gave the name of her
father, Ramsey Slater, whose home is in
Des Moines, In. He wus r.otitled of the
attempt at aulclde, and la expected to come
and take his daughter away from her pres
ent surroundings if she recovers.
Crawford was placed under arrest on tha
charge af being an Initiate of a, disorderly
