As good a Thank?i .-in day as anyone
(ouIJ dream of hi that Whith crowned the
rifrt bounteous harvest of luot The day
rs entirely flttina; to the seasons which
hive gone before it.- From the Inst day
' f June to the prewnt verv day has
'(en propitious lo the growth and gathrr
of golden riehfs. Responding to the
prosperity of the harvester, the people of
the cities are prosperous In every walk of
life. 80 it Is no wonder Thanksgiving day
was welcome.
The morning hours were filled by the
fswago of birds of plumage handsome
women who had mnltc-d their bonnets of
yesterday, gentlemen In the long coats end
carnations of high days. Thexe nil. or al
most all, were In the decorous and proper
lath to the hriune of worship. From the
prominent and the lowly houses of Ood the
sound of oraans came forth Into the bright
sunshine. '
The sparrows, the only remaining singers
among the winged family, lifted their
small voices In exultation to the smiling
skies," the enslaved horses In their polished
fetters, pranced and snorted playfully
through distended nostrils. It was fjd
to every living thing to be alive this day.
Many an unconventional, unpremeditated
prayer of thanksgiving went up almost un
suspected by the giver of thanks, tn many
a place unfamiliar with prayer.
Worship Begins Rarly.
Then there were the well ordered and
regular prayers In the appointed places of
worship and thanksgiving. In all of the
('atholio churches early morning found the
iltitlful, who go because It is right, and
the others, rwho go because they have
thanks to give, found them assembled for
solemn high mass. Nine o'clock waa the
hour for these and the music of Thanks
giving and the sermons of Thanksgiving
Ml on the ears of many of tha faithful.
At an earlier hour, 7 o'clock, tha same sort
if people gathered In tha First Presby
terian church, where the Christian Rndeav
urors met for a united sunrise meeting.
.Tore also was a goodly gathering, sur
prisingly large, when one considers th-j
thanksgiving uttered In many homes for a
l-ite breakfast and the luxury of an extra
hour abed free from the call of dally work.
At 10:30 o'clock the newly clothed gathered
In great number at the First Methodist
Hplscopal church, at the First Baptist, at
Walnut Hill Methodist, at Seward street
church of the same denomination, at Grace
Baptist, for the united services of
the day. Three, four, five and six congre
gations Joined at each place, and resulted
in a beautiful holiday service. The
churches were decked with the flowers of
the season and the choir and the ministers
sang and preached thr-lr best of Thanks
Riving. At 11 o'clock the ,Episcopallans
churches all held their Thanksgiving meet
ings with the collects and litanies of the
icy. . -
Raid on Royal Turk.
If it Is possible to be thankful In the
morning hours, how much more easy and
reasonable is It to be thankful after taking
counsel of the turkey and the mince pie?
The markets of the city this year have
been a sight with the gathered edible
blessing of many unlike climates.., Few
Indeed but had this day a good dinner.
Kot alone in the homes of the well-to-do
was there feasting, but in the places where
the needy and suffering are gathered. The
hospitals were all the scene of the modified
but much appreciated good feeding allow
able among the weak; in the missions, in
the children's saving institutions, in the
homes for older unfortunates, the good peo
ple in charge set great dinners of Thanks
giving quality. The city jail and the county
prison, where the guests may not pick and
choose and go out for dinner, the watch
ful custodians prepared a spread at which
the most carping of prisoners could
scarcely grumble. At 6 o'clock last evening
Overcoats
It Is foolish to pay the high
prices charged by good tailors for
overcoats. We would like you "to
see the superior quality of - our
coats. They are equal tn every
detail to the BEST uiade-to-order
garments and the saving In cost to
you Is worth investigating.

Foot ball was the order of the afternoon
service. Every one was thankful who had
the price of a ticket. lioth the Crelghton
lowa State Normal game at the Vinton
street park and the Omaha Commercial
college-Dodge IJght guard exhibition at
the Auditorium were well patronised. The
former was the heavier game, but the Litter
had the novelty of being within doors.
The ending of the daylight brought
the theaters and the dances. Boyd's had a
merry colored troupe of comedians and
singers, who drew heavily from the
white as well as the colored holi
day makers. The Krug had a show which
may teach a moral lesson, and the Crelgh
ton gave Its patrons the high-grade
vaudeville to which they are used. In
many of the dance halls about town public
dances proved a source of amusement
to the light-footed and deep-winded youth
and his young woman.
MRETISG9 OF TUB PROTESTANTS
Five talon Services Are Held In
the City. '
Rev. A. S. C. Clarke, pastor of the Lowe
AVenue Presbyterian church, preached at
the union service of his congregation and
those of the Benson and Walnut Hill Meth
odist at the last named church. He took
for his text Psalms cxlvll, 20.
"It Is natural," said the speaker, "that
we should think of the material blessings
of the year It has been full of prosperity
and honor for this nation, at home and
abroad. The blessings of Ood always ex
ceed the difficulties In our path. Our
country is Indeed the favored nation. God
has been with us from the first right down
to the present day. Many problems have
been worked out through stress and strain
of nations by Ood. This country, under
God's will, has worked out the Idea of
popular government; He has used us in
solving the problem of the relationship of
church and state, the matter of the owner
ship of land In the people and the problem
of the standing army that haa cursed the
foreign powers. There are many matters
yet to be solved. The race question can
only be settled through Christianlzatlon
and education, the problem of labor and
capital and that of immigration demand at
tention." Referring to the attack on the home of
Elmer E. Thomas, Mr. Clarke said:
"Surely that bomb was not thrown by
any American born cltlsen. It must have
been thrown by some foreign born man, a
cltlsen of a land of oppression; a man an
tagonistic to all authority and all authori
ties "
The music was pretty and appropriate.
Revs. E. Combie Smith of the First
Methodist, J. E. Hummon of Kountze
Memorial, J. D. Dutcher of the First
Christian and H. C. Herring of the First
Congregational churches participated In
the Union Thanksgiving services at the
First Methodist Episcopal church. The
Bermpn was preached by Rev. II. C. Her
ring, who. spoke from the text, Second
Corinthians, chapter 9, verse 15. "Thanks
be Unto God for His Unspeakable Gifts."
He said: "We are gathered here to ex
press our thanks for the infinite good
ness of Ood to us . as a nation. Jesus
Christ is the dynamic force of our na
tional progress. Tho man whose eye is on
the ages dare not fix the solution of . the
problem of human progress on his own
age.
"Our duty Is to make Christ known to all
the world. We are his cho?en people. His
chosen nation to do His work for the
evangelisation of the wcrld. If out of this
comes no title to Jesus Christ where shall
it be found. As our nation unfolds so
shall Christ be exalted and be all in all
to all the world.". ... .y . ;.
The services were much enhanced by a
special program of munle.
The new First Baptist church was the
gathering place of the worshipers in tha
Hanscom Park district. The beautiful new
building had never been seen within by
many people of other churches and It was
one of the things which helped to make
this service popular. Then there was the
sermon of Dr. T. V. Moore of Westminister
Presbyterian., The new organ was an
ther, and the quartette choir, under the
leadership of Miss Boulter, sang. "Praise
the Lord, O Jerusalem," and other anthems
of the day very acceptably. Westmins er
Presbyterian, Grace Lutheran, St. Mary's
Avenue Congregational, the First Bap 1st
and Hanscom Park Methodist Episcopal
hurches were represented.
Seward Street Methodist Episcopal church
was the sceije of a pretty and earnest
gathering of north side church-goers. The
congregations of Calvary Baptist church,
Second Presbyterian church and of the
church where the people were gathered
sent large detachments to hear the sermon
of Rev. Newman' Hall Burdlck, the Pres
byterian preacher. The church was touched
up in honor of the day and the music was
well sung songs of the season.
On the south side Grace Baptist church
was the place of the union service. Rev.
Walter H. Reynolds, pastor of the Cas
tellar Street Presbyterian church, preached
ths Thanksgiving sermon for his own con
gregation and for the members of the
Baptist church and of Tenth Street
Methodist Episcopal. The new church was
well filled by the worshipers of the three
creeds and together they Joined in prayers
and hymns of thanksgiving.
MASS AT CATHOLIC CHlRfHES
Services Held In Pulpits Throng-h
oot the City.
Hlh mass was celebrated in all of the
Catholic churches. At St. John's church a
sermon also was preached. The services
were impressive. The altars were brilliant
with wax tapers, while through the stained
windows the mellow sunlight streamed like
a benediction. The services began at 9
o'clock and there waa a large turnout of
worshippers. One of the features of tha
airvlce was the musical program. The
choir sang Brown's mass, which gave op
portunity for two solos. One of these, the
offertory, was sung by Miss Moran, the
soprano, and the purity of her notes and
the expression with which she sang made
an impression. Mark Martin was also
heard In a buss solo.
Rev. Father M. Bronsgeflal sang mass

and Rev. Father M. O'Connor preached the
sermon. He took his theme from the story
of the ten lepers in St. Luke. He said In
Brt '
"You are all familiar with the story.
They saw Him from afar off. Somewhere
In their wanderings they had heard of the
miracles performed by the Savior and they
cried to Him to have mercy. The hideous
scales fell from their bodies and they were
cured. One of the ten fell nn his face and
thanked Christ. He was grateful for the
blessings that had been bestowed upon him.
It was then Christ said. 'Where there not
ten cured, and where are the other nlneT'
In this story do we not see the story of the
world? The same experiences are told
again and again. In all the ages we are
the same. The same ingratitude of those
days Is In the world today. How seldom
we give expression to the gratitude which
stirs the heart. Extraordinary favors fill
our life, but wa fornet from whence they
come, to whom we are Indebted for tfcn.
This Is a beautiful and favored land that
we live in. It Is full of religious spirit.
We have Uie evidence of it on every side.
It Is erowded with incidents showing that
the spirit of God moves In it, and there is
no better place to show our gratitude than
at our altars."
KEWSBOTS HAVE ASSIAL FEAST
One Hundred and Sixty Fed by MogJ
and Women Friends.
One Thanksgiving dinner given In Omaha
was lacking In the spectacular' features
which enhanced the deglutitive pleasures
given amid more princely surroundings, but
It was thoroughly enjoyed nevertheless.
This was the dinner to Mogy's newsboys.
Owing to the limited facilities only about
twenty-five boys could be fed at a time,
but over ino hungry lads were filled up.
The boys were lined up in front of Mogy's
place on Farnsm, below Fifteenth street,
and as fast as one batch of urchins was
taken care of the table was cleared and
set for the next lot. Only the number that
could be fed waa allowed to go In at a
time. The control exerted over the boys by
Mogy is remarVable and It was interesting
to see the bulging eyes as they spied the
dinner-laden dishes. There were no table
cloths, napkins nor glittering tableware,
but these little formalities were forgotten.
A chair was all that was wanted.
The lads filed down the stairway with a
yell, but once seated at the table they had
no time to talk. Even knives and forks
were scorned. With a biscuit in one hand
and a wishbone in the other they went
to work. ,
There was a pathos to the scene which
could not escape the onlooker In spite of
the brightness of the picture. Now and
then there was a lad who was not a news
boy, but no questions were asked, as it
was a safe gamble the child was depend
ing on Mogy for his Thanksgiving dinner.
It was Mogy or nothing and to Mogy they
flocked. In the crowd was one lad who
was enjoying one of Mogy's dinners for
the first time. In' eight years. He had
been paroled from prison through Mr.
Mogy's efforts, but to most of the boys he
was unknown and there was no embar
rassing reflections.
Some of the lads had their hair combed
and showed by their well cared attire that
they were from good homes, but there
were no caste distinctions, and they prob
ably enjoyed the meal better than the
one served at home. As each boy left the
table he filled his hat with the fruit and
cnk he could not make way with at the
table.
The menu consisted of chicken, oyster
dressing, cranberry sauce, potatoes, milk,
coffee, cake, pie, fruit, candy and nuts.
The dinner was In charge of Albert
Rogers, the assistant superintendent of
Mogy's Home for Newsboys, and tha lads
were waited on by Mesdames Walter
Molse, W. J. Broatch. T. M. j Nelson and
Albert Fuller, members of the board of
directors. It was well along In the after
noon before the last boy regretfully left
the table.
LITTLE OJjES AT CHILD'S HOME
Forty-Six Are Given Cheer of Annual
Thanksgiving;.
Twenty-five little ones, ranging In age
from 3 to 11 years, surrounded the bounte
ous festal board at the Omaha Child's
Saving Institute, while twenty-one other
homeless babes, less than 3 years of age,
were tenderly cared for on the glkd
Thanksgiving day. This, like other Thanks
giving days at the Institute, was made
the special occasion for devout gratitude
for the manifold blessings of the year, and
Superintendent Clark and his corps of
helpers feel special reasons for thanks
giving. Aside from the dinner served at
the Institute, twenty-one boxes of good
things, sent In from the public schools,
chiefly Lake, were In turn sent out to
twenty-one poor families in the bottoms
that the little ones stinted In their own
homes might feel the warmth and cheer of
this unnual feast duy.
PRISONERS, EVEN, ARE WELL FEU
Vn'fortunate Ones Behind Bora Are
Not Forgotten.
While the great outer world is enjoying
Its annual Thanksgiving dinner, those who
are in custody at both the city and county
Jails are not overlooked. Jailer Roach at
the Douglas county Jail and Jailer Glover
at the city Jail have taken cognisance of
the spirit of the occasion and provided such
edibles as will gladden the hearts and
stomachs of those charges and cause them
to forget, for a while at least, their unfor
tunate condition. While Christmas and
New Tear's are usually the gala days at the
Jails, yet Thanksgiving day is not passed
over without more or less consideration
for the Inner man. Whatever may have
been the offense or crime committed, the
fact that every man is "somebody's boy"
has not been lost sight of at the Jails.
DONATION DAY BRINGS CHEER
Many Delicate and Substantial Gifts
at Presbyterian Hospital.
The Thanksgiving day donations at the
Presbyterian hospital were very liberal,
fully equalling those of last year, com
prising substantial gifts and delicacies of
all descriptions suitable to the day and
occasion. Many of them were received dur
ing the forenoon and up to a late hour yes
terday the donations were still being re
ceived. The' management of the hospital
expresses Itself as very grateful for tha
kindnesses cf its hosts of friends, espe
cially In view of the pleasure and happi
ness it gives the patients of the "hospital
to know on this day of universal thanks
giving that they are not forgotten.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Agitation far Wide Awake Commercial
Club is Dailj increasing.
BUSINESS MEN TALK ON MATTER
All Seem Anslona that City Tnke Steps
Through Cltlsens to Form Hew
and AargresslTe Organ
Isatloa. The proposition recently suggested to or
ganise a new Commercial club seems to be
meeting with a great deal of favor among
the progressive merchants of the city. All
merchants admit business is quiet at this
Uaa, but they give reasons for this. John
Flynn, one of the foremost buslarts taaft.
said in this connection last Lcb::
"In ordr to do business we mnat go out
and hustle for trade. If the bigness men
of the city will go in together and work
as a unit and see that the city is properly
advertised the business the merchants de
sire will be coming."
Mrs. D. W. Godfrey Is willing to do all
in her power to render assistance to such
an organization. So are the Christies, the
Broadwells, B. E. Wilcox, C. M. Schneider.
D. J. Hlnchey and several dozen others.
The idea is to go ahead now and show
the people what South Omaha haa and t
Invite trade as far as possible from country
districts. With this idea in view the paving
of certain streets leading to the country is
being talked of. With improvements con
templated all around South Omaha, busi
ness men here say that they should of
necessity get together and let the people
who would naturally patronize this market
know what they have to sell.
There seems to be some backwardness
among some of those talking of tha project
to go to the head. Mr. Flynn does not want
an official position, neither do half a dosen
others who have been approached. The
chancea are soma men who have not been
officially identified with the organization
of former commercial clubs will take the
lead.
There seems to be a general feeling that
South Omaha should have a wideawake
commercial club and that a fund be raised
for the purpose of advertising the city.
Friendship With Business.
This store has a wnole lot to be thankful
for today. Mentioning the fact that No
vember 21 our 19U4 sales passed those of the
entire year of 1903 with forty days yet to
the good is enough, but our long list of
loyal satisfied patrons, old and new, is the
one business featur for which we foel
most thankful. Yet we want more busi
nessmore good, strong friends. We will
make you our friends if you will Just come
in and get acquainted with the store.
There is friendship In our business, but
to many men business Is merely a cold,
calculating proposition that finds Its ex
pression in dollars and cents. Not so at
our store; while we seek compensation for
our .work, profit on our Investment, yet we
associate sentiment and a deep friendly In
terest In all of our patrons who have made
It possible for this store to succeed. While
you have liberally contributed your patron
age, we have given you our best service,
and we feel that for every money trans
action between us every patron haa re
ceived dollar for dollar. We want your
trade. D. S. Clark, The Leadirg Drugglat.

Butchers employed in the packing houses
In South Omaha say ths trouble in Chicago
between the packers ,uud the butchers is
purely local. w
"No advices of any kfhkd, have been sent
to us from Chicago," saia a butcher last
night. "All we know about the Chicago
trouble Is what we read 1n the papers. It
will take a vote of the butchers to start
another strike here, and this question has
not been raised."
As far as South Omaha is concerned.
there seems to be little chance of the
butchers or other packing house employes
going on a strike at the present time.
Road Machine Working-.
The city road machine is kept busy these
days rounding up the unpaved streets and
cleaning gutters. While it costs the city
320 a day to run the machine, the expense
Is considered trivial as compared with the
benefits. In all .cases where streets are
worked by the machine the street force
clears gutters and makes water runways
under crosswalks in order to prevent dam
age to the streets and sidewalks in the
spring. There is money enough In the
street repair fund now to put the roads in
good condition so that .there will be but a
small amount of damage done by the early
rains next year. t

LECTURE ON REFORMATION
Rev. Father Strltch Argues It Was
Deterrent Force la Civilisation.
Rev. M'.chael J. Strltch appeared before
a large and enthusiastic audience at Crelgh
ton University hall Wednesday, Where he
delivered his lecture "the Reformation and
Modern Progress."
"On this subject," said the speaker, "wa
shot Id all have fixed opinions and well de
fined principles of action. We all know
that there was a great reformation In the
alxteenth century and that since then the
human race haa been marching on with in
creased zeal and activity, but Is this seal
and activity due to the reformation?
Would it be greater If there never had been
a reformation? I answer, yes. It would
have been a higher civilization today if
there had never been a revolution against
ecclesiastical authority in the sixteenth
century or in any other century.
The speaker then read copious extracts
from the writings of Enllsh authorities on
the development through the Catholic
church of high Ideals before the reforma
tion, citing views that ths so-called dark
ages, eight to twelve centuries, were really
periods of wonderful enlightenment in tha
matter of high art, poetry, architecture,
religious thought and high Ideals of life
less of the knowledge of things physical,
but more of the better Ideals. He also
told of the part the Roman Catholic church
had taken in building up the earlier work
of civilization; how It had broken the
Roman empire, the center of wickedness;
had met the oncoming hordes of northern
barbarians and continued to spread
the cause of religion and the higher
life surviving attacks on all sides, making
Inroads for the church everywhere, sending
out Its missionaries and its workers in
every direction and bringing comfort and
light into dark places, ameliorating the
! condition of serfs and finally working to the
end of universal liberty. "The church
found the world pagan, she found woman
in slavery, woman the absolute property
of man, even her very life subject to her
husband's whims and the sacred relation
of marriage ignored. It lifted woman up,
placed her high In position and mads her
a power In the world, recognizing her noble
mission and susceptibility to religious
teachings The vast advancement since
the reformation was not due to It, but to
the gradual betterment through the work
of previous centuries, the coming out of
all the good In man. Look at the uni
versities all over Europe built in the so
called dark ages, In Italy, In Germany,
France and Austria; look-at the wondrous
churches, the grandest edifices and the
centuries do not look so dark."
The speaker quoted Macauley freely on
the glory of the church and closed his ad
dress with predictions for greater glory to
tha church, enlarged fields of operation and
recognition of Its wonderful work in the
early civilization.
POLICEMAN'S BALL A SUCCESS
l'are Crowd In Attendance and Even
Ins; Is Most Pleasantly
Spent.
Nearly every road led to the Auditorium
Wednesday, when the Omaha Metropolitan
Police department gave its annuul ball.
The big structure was well filled with
merry dancers, the brave and the fair com
mingling together In a happy manner. That
the policemen's annual ball was a great
success none could gainsay. Everything
went off liko clockwork and everyone
seemed as happy as the night was long.
At 9:15 the grand march wus formed,
being led by Cuptaln Henry W. Dunn and
wife. About 3u0 couples participated in
the march. A number of pretty figures
were formed, one being a star as large as
the Auditorium floor would permit. The
crowd increased up to 11 o'clock and most
of the arena seats were occupied with
spectators.
This year's programs were unusually at
tractive.. Those Berved to the women were
of sexagon, shape, with a half-tone cut of
Chief of Police Donahue Inside of a six
pointed star. The programs given to the
