"During this revival season I have been
latching with some Interest the. society
lumns of the newspapers," said Rev. Dr.
xsell In his sermon at . Calvary Baptist
church last evening. "I have noticed that
Bo and Bo has been having a social and Bo
and Bo a reception, that some one else Is
home after a trip .to some other town, and
so forth. They have time to spare for the
frivolities of society., but no tiros to spare
for a season of. renewed acquaintance with
Clod. The sneakthlef snd the burglar
watches the society columns, too, to And
out who Is going away, that they may
sneak In and steal the silver jplate or other
valuables. Bo the society column an
nouncement by which they set so much
store has Us disadvantages, too."
Dr. CIsscll was preaching from the story
ot the man who prepared a great supper
and sent his servants out to Invite in cer
tain people, who all as with ona accord
asked to be excused. He applied the com
parlsrm to thoe-e people who are Invited
to Christ, but who always axk to be ex
cused (or ono reason or another. "And
there are many," he said, "Just inside the
rim of the kingdom who do not go on to
greater, spiritual power and glory. They
fall back on the perilous plan of making
excuse. It Is surprising that men are so
' easily satisfied with tho species of atro
phied religion they have. Like the child
who, being asked why she had fallen out
of bed, said she guessed It was because
she laid too near the place Where she got
In, this kind of Christians are lingering
too near the place where they got In. They
lack spiritual ambition. In tho faee of the
great opportunity to enter deeply Into the
Christian life, they say, 'I pray thee, have
, mo excused.' " .
Cannot Hit Too Mneh Religion.
r To those who are Inclined to decry re
vivals on trivial grounds Dr. Clssell gave
the advice that they need not fear Jo be
come too religious. "We have all heard
the Christians who testify to their experi
ence, but who do not realise that their ex-
et-lence of God's spirit has been as dead
as the grave for many years. Then, there
are," he said, "those who suffer from in
tellectual paralysis I cannot believe, when
talking of tho things of Qodt but who can
easily swallow any sort of story the sci
entists or so-called philosophers care to
tell them.
"The spiritual life, like the physical, Is
one of growth. Everything Is not to be
achieved in a moment; but sufficient to the
day Is the eVll thereof. We can live the
true life as well as we know how today,
inow. We can grow In spiritual breadth
and depth today without any anxiety for
tomorrow. Let tomorrow take care of it
self. Enjoy tChriet this minute t live His
life Bow, and Tu will And that getting
right with God Is the simplest kind of a
business proposition.; Tou do not need a
whole cargo ;of feeling to experience the
moving of the spirit. To accept His word
Is the right .thing, the square thing and
the blessed thing to do."
RELIOIOff FOR THE 'WORKIJiGMA!!

Union Man Is Covins;.
'a fad lha$. here, la wide tap be
tween the laboring man and the churoh. It
Is said that not more than I per cent of the
worklngtnen In the large cities are regular
attendants upon the church. Just why this
gap exists It Is not easy to say. Doubtless
there Is fault op both sides. Certain it Is
that If the church really stands for the
teachings of the meek and lowly Jesus this
jgap ought not to exist.
The Presbyterian church Is the first of
the churches to set about a solution of this
vexing and Important problem In a serious
way. The board of home missions has em
ployed a man singularly fitted to study the
problem and to suggest a remedy that will
be satisfactory alike to both the church and
the worklngmen. Rev. Charles Stelsle was,
and Is, a practical machinist and a member
In full standing of the machinists' union.
He Is also a fully ordained minister of the
Presbyterian church and has had some
years' experience as the pastor of working
men. The Second Presbyterian church of
ythls city has Invited Mr. Stelsle to visit it
amd to make some suggestions concernng

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
. Also n Few Facts on tho Same Snbjert.
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living, about vegetarian
ism and many other fads along the same
line. ,
w Restaurants may be found in the large
V cities where no meat, pastry or coffee Is
served and the food crank Is In his glory,
and arguments and theories galore ad
vanced to prove that mas4 was never In
tended for human stomach and almost
make us believe that our sturdy ancestors
who lived four score years In robust health
on roast beef, pork and mutton must have
been grossly Ignorant of the 'laws of health.
Our forefathers had other things to do
than formulate theories about the food they
ate. A warm welcome was extended to any
kind, from bacon to acorns.
X healthy appetite and common sense are
excellent guides to follow In matters of diet,
and a mixed diet of grains, fruits and
meats Is undoubtedly the best
As compared with grains and vegetables,
meat furnishes the most nutriment In a
highly concentrated form and la digested

tables and grains.
. pr. Julius Remmson on .this subject saysi
Nervous persons, people run down in health
and of hw vitality, should eat t moat and
plenty of It. If the digestion la too feeble at
first it may be easily corrected by the regu
lar use of Btuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal. Two of these excellent tablets
taken after dinner will digest several thou
sand grains of meat, eggs or other animal
food In three hours, and no matter how
weak the stomach may be, no trouble will be
experienced If a regular practice Is made of
using Btuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
(hoy supply the pepsin and diastase neces
sary to perfect digestion, and every form
of fedigestlon will be overcome by their use.
That large class of people who come
under the -head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty ot meat' and Insure Its
proper digestion, by the dally use of a safe,
harmless digestive medicine like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, composed of the natu

name of dyspepsia cures are useless for In-
J digestion as they have absolutely no effect
upon ths actual digestion or rood.
Dyspepsia In Its many forms Is simply a
failure of the stomach to digest food, and
the sensible way to solve the riddle and
cure the dyspepsia Is to make dally use at
meal time of a preparation llkestuart's

association the same Any. His topic at the
latter place will be "Does the Church Help

Mr. Stelsle was converted while working
at his trade. Realizing from experience
the needs of Worklngmen and feeling keenly
the Incongruity of the gap between the
worklngmsn and the church, he felt called
to the Christian ministry. After a suitable
course of study he sought snd obtained or
dination of the Presbyterian church and
accepted a call to the Markham Memorial
Presbyterian church In the east end of St.
Iuls. Here, among people with whose
conditions and needs he was perfectly
familiar, he went about his work. In a few
years he had built up the largest Sunday
school west of the Mississippi river, the
largest Sunday night congregation of any
Presbyterian church In St. Louis, the
largest sewing school In the city, with free
lecture courses, series of concerts of the
highest grade, etc. There were held twenty-five
meetings In his church per week.
with average attendance of lO.ono per
month. The last year of nls pastorate
there were about 2T0 accession to the
church membership on profession of faith.
Tent meetings were held every summer,
with nightly attendance ranging from SO0
to 1,W). Tho total number of conversions
during the summer sea eons were over 400.
The Sunday school Is thoroughly organized
and graded nnd graduates Its scholars. Its
graduates are In nearly every Protestant
church In St. Louis.
It was because of his remarkable suc
cess In this work the Presbyterians aaked
him to resign his pastorate and go out

HANS ALBERTS' STRAP IN HOCK
Valuable Violin Held ns Seenrlty for
a Thirteen Hollar Board
Bit.
Rather a pathetic memento la the violin
of Hans Albert, which Is now at A.
Hospo's. Held for a $13 board bill at
Wayne and now freed from litigation, it
marks the last effort of the little musician
to "square It" with the world and make
a fresh start. There was a time when
Hans Albert owned more than one splen
did instrument, but the Inexorable work
ings of this world brought him Anally to
a point where he had not a string on which
to draw his bow. It was then he came to
use the Instrument which has since been
rudely handled In the courts by the hand
of the crude barbarian who did not know
a Btrad from a fiddle.
E. M. Nichols of Des Moines it was who
came to the help of the hopeless musician
and brought his violin on which to play.
He himself accompanied Albert on con
cert tours and for a time the violin brought
them both good fortune. Then Mr. Nichols
became absorbed In other business and let
Albert go forth alone with the violin to
play. He came to Omaha and here he
found an Instrument which took all the
love which he held for the old. This was
one of the Cremona violins a genuine
Laurentlus Storlone of 1796, which was
Mr. Hospe'a own and which he valued
and still values at 11,000. The little vio
linist had had some thought of buying the
other violin, but now he wanted the
Storlone. But, alas, he had not the money.
He finally ended his career on a fruitless
tour to Wayne. The people did not come
and the hotel keeper attached the Nichols
violin for the 113 board bill. When Mr.
Nichols heard of the danger to his treas
ured instrument he hurried to Wayne,
where ho was required to furnish $1,000
bonds before he could take it away. But
the bill has not been paid and the violin
Is at Hospe's for the present. It Is valued
by Its owner at $2,000, and by Herr Qahm,
Albert's Intimate, at $1,000. It Is a Ger
man copy of the Btradlvarlus and Is a
fine Instrument, although the value of
these old violins is sometimes rather sentimental.
Tho Genius of tho Workshop).
The retirement ot an old mechanlo was
marked the other day by a complimentary
dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria and the ten
dering of a loving cup.
Had this man been a statesman, a rich
banker, or a great prince of commerce,
there would have been nothing to excite
remark In the honors paid him.
But the world Is growing better.
Men are learning to distinguish some
times between the highly polls hed gilding
and the raw true gold.
To this old mechanlo la due perhaps more
than to any other man the marvelous de
velopment of the typewriter from an un
tried experiment to the necessity ' ft has
now become In the world's work.
Through his genius and labors the ac
tivity and celerity of all business has been
Immeasurably quickened. He Is as true a
benefactor of the race as Is known to this
generstlon.
To the man who furnishes the capital,
builds the factory directs the sale or the
product, richly lining his own pocket, the
world has long been accustomed to pay
reverence. .
It Is a good thing, for a change, to take
off our hats to the man who furnishes the
Ideas whose brain and brawn, pausing
through the crucible, turn to gold.
We have had a surfeit of "captains of In
dustry," commercial magnates and kings of
nuance, who barter and exchange ths prod
ucts of other men's Intellect and toll. It Is
a charming relief to exalt one of the few
men who have really enriched the world by
giving' It a new Idea.
Customs and public opinion move In
cycles. In the complimentary dinner given
to the old mechanic at New York's swell
hostelry' there Is suggestion of the same
spirit that marked the great feast in honor
of the completion of Solomon's temple,
when tho artists In mosaics, the skilled
cutters of stone, the flne workers in wood
and precious metals were waved aside by
th great king and the humble, hard
handed blacksmith was given the high seat
of honor, because he hsd mads the tools
with which all these men had wrought their
wonders. Referring to the dinner tendered
to Mr. W. K. Jenna by the board of direc
tors of the Remington Typewriter company.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Sheep Market Shows Eigni of Rowing
Interest Rapidly.
in
IGHEST PRICE PAID NOTED YESTERDAY
Seven-aeventy-Flve for Lambs and
tho Feeder Nearly Donbles His
Money In the Venters for
Three Months' Work.
South Omaha Is again forging to the
front as the best market for sheep In the
country. In twite of the fact that the
Chicago market was posted on the bulletin
board at the exchange as weak, buyers for
the packers were out early and bought
up everything In sight. Trices reached the
top notch when weBtern lambs sold for
$7.76. These sales caused quite a flutter at
the big sheep barns. This price was the
highest ever paid on this market. Nicholas
Peterson of Bennington sold two double
deck loads at this price. The lambs were
Wyoming stock and were bought on this
market last fall for $4.30. The feeder real
lied a profit of $3.46 per hundred on his In
vestment. Yearlings that sold the first
part of the week for $6 sold yesterday for
$6.25. Now that the prices are tending
upwards, sheep' men say there will be no
difficulty In securing a supply for this
market. The low prices have kept flock
masters from sending sheep to market.
With a bullish market there Is to be no
end of sheep coming In. So far this year
16, 714 head of sheep have been marketed
here. This is a falling off of 40,000. as
compared with the same time last year,
but with better prices sheep men expect
to ship right aloutunow.
Major Wolcott, one of the traveling rep
resentatlves of the Union Stock Yards
company, Is now out In the sheep country
and he writes that the deficit In receipts
will soon be made up and that the figures
will show a big increase before long.
In hog receipts there is an Increase of
25,660 head as compared with the same time
last year. Hogs are selling a little higher
and this raise In price will tend to In
creased shipments during the next few
days.
General Manager Kenyon of the stock
yards company said last night, "Don't for
get to tell the people that we have the
best sheep market in the country right
here at South Omaha."
Eagles Visit Tonight.
Members of South Omuha aerie No. 154,
Fraternal Order of Eagles, are requested
to meet at the hall, Twenty-sixth and N
streets, at 7:30 o'clock this evening for the
purpose of attending an entertainment
given by Aerie No. 104 of Council Bluffs. A
special car will leave Twenty-fourth and
N streets for Council Bluffs at 8 p. m. It
Is expected that about 100 South Omaha
Eagles will make the trip to the Bluffs.
Ice Crop Harvested.
The cutting of Ice has practically ceased.
Dealers In Ice state that the crop harvested
this winter amounts to about 400,000 tona
The Cudahy company has sice stacked on
the ground as both houses are filled. At
Cut-Off lake the Hammond and Bwlft
houses are filled and the Armour company
has a big crop at Memphis, Neb. One of
the officials of the South Omaha Ice com
pany said last evening that there was more
ice on hand than could be disposed of in
a couple of years. As to prices the coming
summer, there seems to be some doubt
about any reduction. Those who control
the Ice market state that while there Is
plenty of Ice there Is no prospect of any
great reduction In price to consumers.
Club Meets Saturday Night.
Secretary J. M. Guild of the Highland
Park Improvement club sent out notices
yesterday calling attention to the fact that
the regular meeting billed for tonight had
been put off until Saturday night. This
meeting Is to be held at the Lincoln school
and every member Is expected to be present,
as some matters of considerable Importance
in relation to Improvements will be brought
up. Charter amendments will be brought
up and talked over and suggestions will be
made.
Amendments About Completed.
City Attorney Lambert has about com
pleted the drafting of some charter amend
ments. These amendments are now In such
shape that the committee appointed can go
over them at any time. Just as soon as
the committee sanctions the amendments
copies will be prepared and given to the
press. The change In the present paving
laws is one of the features of the amend
ments. It appears that the committee de
sires more latitude In the laying of pave
mont than is given under the present
charter.

LESSER MISSES LOOPHOLE
Judge Carina Declines to Dismiss

The trial of W. R. Lesser of Tama. Ia..
former special agent of the United States
land department, has begun before a Jury
In the United States district court in
Judge Carland's division. Lesser was In
dicted In November, 1903, by the federal
grand Jury on the charge of falsifying hU
expense accounts while Investigating cer
tain Illegal land fencing cases In western
Nebraska, It being hold that during cer
tain periods which he reported that he
was at work for the department he was
at his home in Tama, engaged In his
private business. The cass name up for

right hand and raw bruises and bloody
breaks In his cuticle In several different
places. ,
"I was In four wrecks last summer while
on the road," said Mr. Banks, "but this one
far surpasses any I ever saw In some re
spects. The fact that so few people were
killed or Injured Is undoubtedly explained
by the lightness of the travel. For In
stance, In one of the sleeping cars that la
completely turned over snd lying on Its
top, none of the upper berths was occu
pied. If they had been every person In
them would have likely have been killed,
for persons who were In that car told me
the upper berths all closed when the car
went over.
"To begin at the beginning, we got away
from Marion late. I did not care to take
a sleeper at that hour, so took a seat In
the chair car, which had probably a dozen
other passengers. We were all . dozing,
I guess, when there was a bumping and
dragging of the car which at once made
myself and others conclude the car was
off the track. Then suddenly it slued side
ways with a fearful Jerk and I was thrown
across to the opposite side from that on
which I had been sitting. The swift
thought came, 'We are In a wreck,' but
almost before I could give it voice the car
settled and there was a grinding crash of
wood and glass. Afterward we 'found that
the side of the car on which myself and
others had been sitting was splintered and
practically carried away to the height of
the roof by another car that bumped along
or tipped over ours. The lights all went
out, of course, and fortunately there was
no fire to add danger to our plight.
Description of Wreck.
"As soon as we could get our bearings
after quieting the hysterical pleadings of a
woman with a small baby, and some others
who were more or less hurt, we found our
car was off the bridge ai.d standing almost
straight on its trucks In a gully probably
fifteen or sixteen feet deep. Around us
were other cars three more on the side of
the bridge where we were, for we had run
off a treBtle or bridge, and on the other
side of the bridge In the gully were four
other cars. How those cars ever got Into
the positions they were in I don't know
and no one else seemed able to figure out
before we came away. There they are,
however, eight cars plied into a small gully
not over seventy-five feet wide. Evidently,
like pigs working up to a trough, they
shoved each other out of the way as they
fell. One climbed nearly up the embank
ment In front ot us and another, a sleeper,
Is lying at an agle of probable 25 degrees
on the embankment under the side of the
bridge we struck first. -.
"Into this last car, as the handiest and
most accessible place available, were car
ried the most seriously Injured of the pas
sengers. They were made as comfortable
as possible with seats, pillows and anything
at hand. One peculiarly distressing case
was that of a young woman whp was com
ing to Omaha to answer a call of a sick
brother. She was quite seriously hurt about
the back and hips and was taken to Des
Moines' for treatment with eighteen or
twenty others who were badly hurt.
"The railroad man who was killed while
riding In a sleeper must have been thrown
through a window, because the car he was
In did not tip over. A man from that car
named Taylor, from South" Dakota, being
uninjured himself, did good work In carry
ing men and women on hla back from dif
ferent parts of the wreck, to the sleeping
oar I have mentioned. When the excite
ment was quieted to some . extent the
woman and baby I spoke of who were In
the chair car were found to be unhurt. Tho
baby did not have a scratch, apparently,
and soon was crowing away as lustily as if
at home. The mother was awfully fright
ened at first, but was quite hanpv when
she found the baby was not injured.

Mr. Banks, like other Dasaeneexs not
Berlously hurt, was given treatment and
had his wound, quite a bad cut under the
chin and about the throat, sewed up at the
scene of the accident. He came to Omaha
on a train which arrived h era ahmit 7
o'clock last night, and on the same train
were two or three fellow passengers who
were able to travel to their homes.

however, that Mr. Lawson had been taken 1

the close of the second act, represents
Catherine as the model for many virtues,
chiefly as a good wife and an excellent
mother. All the troubles the heroine has
are those of Mate and the temporary ab

11)04 apparently had nothing to do with the
sympathies of the audience, for the empress
and others who professed undying loyalty
for their country, but as a matter of fact
no attempt is mode to tinge the play with
much atmosphere that la really peculiar to
the land of the czar.
Catherine frustrates her enemies by pos
ing as her waxen Image, overhearing their
plots and confronting them. Then she deals
leniently with the offenders, forgives her
husband and promises to think less of
statecraft and more regarding her part as
a wife. It takes five acts to accomplish
everything necessary in the opinion of Mr.
Kremer, the author.
The work of Miss Lillian Ethel Norrls,
as Countess Vorontsof, was much appreci
ated. The play remains for two nights and
Saturday matinee.
"Sis Hopkins" at the Kraft-.
Rose Melville and her company were at
the Krug last night, offering the well
known comedy-drama, "Sis Hopklna" That
the star's presentation of a quaint concep
tion of girlish boorlshness, Intermixed with
a modicum of cunning shrewdness, is still
a popular thing is attested by the size of
the audience that witnessed the opening
performance. Miss Melville has created a
character that is lrreelstably funny, and Is
all her own, for he" would-be Imitators
have all failed In their efforts to divert at
tention fftm the original. The company
that assists In unraveling the tale that Is
told In connection with the plot Is good.
and a very entertaining performance Is
given. The stage Is set with great atten-.
tlon to detail, the scenery and accessories
being decidedly realistic. The engagement
lasts till after Saturday evening, with a
matinee on Saturday.

SHORT SUPPLY OF SHERIFFS
Criminal Court Business Delayed Becaus
of Lack of Deputies.
ECONOMY FORCED IY COMMISSIONERS FELT
Judge Day Finds It Necessary to Ex
ereUe Fatlenee In Conducting
His Court l nder Pres
ent Conditions,
Owing, to the fsct that Sheriff Power has
felt it necessary to materially reduce his
deputies, the crlmlnsl court presided over
by Judge Day Is finding it somewhst diffi
cult to secure the prompt attendance of
witnesses. Several short recesses have
been taken on this account during the hear
ing of two or three recent cases. The
court has expressed an Intention to exer
cise patience In the matter because, as
Judge Day remarked Thursday morning, he
is aware ot the difficulties under which
the sheriff is laboring. The cut in the
force of deputies was made because ot the
refusal ot the county board to make up a
deficiency of something over $5,000 In the
fund from which tne sheriff has been pay
ing his deputies. The district court has
ruled in the matter that there la no statute
authorizing the board to pay the amount
out of the county treasury.
Charles Decker, charged wih daylight
breaking and entering, demanded a Jury
trial, though his partner pleaded guilty and
took a Jail sentence ot six months. The
trial had consumed the better part of two
days when Decker concluded to plead
guilty. His partner was to be brought Into
court and put on the witness stand; then
Decker weakened. He Was sent to the
county Jail for six months.
Judge Day and a Jury got to work Thurs
day afternoon on the case of the State
against John Karten and John McCarthy.
Tb,ls is the case wherein the court has held
that a pop bottle filled with sand msy De
construed as a burglarious weapon or Im
plement. The expectation Is that some very
delicate points of criminal law will be de
veloped and argued during the trial of de
fendants.
Thomas Carroll, complained of for day
light breaking and entering,, pleaded guilty
to a charge of petty larceny and was sen
tenced to thirty days In the county Jail.
The court took cognisance of the fact that
the offense was not of a very aggravated
character and that the young man ia the
victim of a rather serious disease.
Raymond Nelson, charged with the same
offense as Carroll, but against whom an
other complaint was also pending, pleaded
gultty and was given six months in the
county Jail. The qld complaint was nolled.
Judge Redlck and a Jury are engaged In
trying the case of Lewis C. Sholes against
The 11. J. Penfold Company. Sholes is
suing for damages alleged to have been
sustained by reason of an explosion, which
caused the loss of one of his arms. The
allegation la that the defendant company
sold plaintiff the explosive material, with
which he was operating as an amateur
photographer when the accident happened.
and that he was Injured by reason of de
fective powder or apparatus. Plaintiff
asks damages In the sum of $15,000.
Mr. Sholes was on the stand most of
Thursday afternoon, He told the story of
buying the flash-lamp and powder at de
fendant's store and of having taken several
pictures without accident, when he first
bought it. Then the machine was packed In
Its box and laid away until Sunday night.
May S, 1904. He then took It out and pro
ceeded to show some visiting friends how It
worked. He set It off once, and was doing
bo a second time when the lamp exploded
and shattered his left hand and forearm so
that It had to be amputated Just below the
elbow. The exploded lamp was shown In
court, blown Into a dozen pieces. Plaintiff
also exhibited the stump of his arm to the
Jury and described the havoc that was
wrought In the kitchen wnen the explosion,
occurred. The defense .has not as yet been
developed.

bottles of it I was entirely cured. I therefore
heartily recommend your Compound as a
splendid uterine tonic. It makes the monthly
periods regular and without pain ; and what
a blessing it is to And such a remedy after so
many doctors fail to help you. I am pleased
to recommend it to all suffering women."
