8 TIIE OMAITA DAILY BEE: MONDAt, FEBRUARY 13, 1905, STEtZLE OX WORKERS (llURCn Consecrated Christian Needed Who Can Take Initiative Themselves. SOCIALISM GREAT PROBLEM JO BE WET Hated Marhlnlst-Evansi'llst Delin the Kind ( t harrh and ( hararter f Prearhlo Sdfd to Hfch the Wnrklnaman. Rev. Charles Stelile, a converted machin ist, who has become one of the mint valu able workr In the Presbyterian home mission fl'UJ. hen Inaugurated a week of meetlnn In Omaha. He opened his work here at the Socond Presbyterian church Sunday morning and on next Bunday even ing will clone at the Mime church with an Illustrated lecture which will go Into de tails roneemlng the somewhat noted gospel campaign he carled on In Bt. Louis aa pastor of a worklngman'a church. Mr. Btelale'at subject for Sunday morning was "Ths Church and the Worklngman." It waa regrettable there were very few workers present, as the audience was largely Composed of women. The preach er's plea was for a church that will go out and win the good will of the workers. It was by Implication, too, an Indictment of that formal Chrintlanlty which steps by plumb rule, which will not go forward to the Master's work without Instructions of the session. He Illustrated his point by telling of an old lady who allowed her feelings to move her powerfully at a church service. When the usher s'ought to quiet her, she aald, "Why, I've got religion," "This is no place to get religion," said the usher. "This Is a church." Another Incident was where a pastor had a chance pointed out to do good work, but hnd to consult his session. The mem bers of the session admitted the opportu nity was great, but if the crowds were to gather to hear outdoor preaching they would spoil the grass plot in front of the church. "There Is one thing that stands out as a problem the church Is bound to meet," said Mr. Stelile, "and that Is socialism. The platform of the socialists In this country Is identical with that of the derman so cialists, and here, as In Germany, their strength Is mainly In the cities. If this movement keeps on growing In the Immedi ate future as It has In the Immediate past It will sweep this country In eight years." The preacher then went cm to point out that the most effective advocates of social Ism In this country are ex-ministers and ex-priests. "The movement has adopted the vocabulary of the church, and its preachers proclaim Jesus Christ a socialist. The hosts of worklngmen are not socialists and never will be; yet they do not go to church. Churches that used to be located In districts where the worklngmen live have had to move to save their own lives. Now, the church must be able to meet and solve this problem and get these men Into communion with Christ or confess It Is .a failure, and I am not yet ready to make that admission." " Mr. Stelzle pleaded for the bringing of the gospel message to the worklngmen by con'jecrated workers. "They must be ap pealed to not with a mission, but with a church that shall be open every night In the week and a large part of every day. It must appeal to their social and Intel lectual as well as their spiritual nature; It must enter their lives and be of and for them In the broad and comforting way that Jesus has taught." telligcnt. 8me such persons must have been nmong the assemblies that listened to Jesus, and It would be strange. Indeed, If minutes of what He aald were not made In many Instances by admiring auditor. His ministry was so short, lasting proba bly not more than one year, there waa rot time for these memoranda to be lost be fore the shock of His arrest and shameful execution gave them a signal value as the nucleus of a kind of gospel writing which then. In all probability. Immediately be jan. "But In all there waa. conserved the treasure of the divine word spoken by the Master, having In Itself power In the full ness of time to renew and rebuild In a far more glorious fashion." DR. MASK TRACES GOSPELS Treasures of the Mvlna- Word Pre served by Admirer of Jeans. M Unity church Bunday morning ' Rev. Newton M. Mann began a series, of lec tures, on the new testament, discoursing on "Tnt Qospel Sources." "Ws are debarred from supposing that our gospels were the only or first writings of the kind dealing with the same events," said Dr. Mann. "From careful study of these gospels Critics long since inferred the existence at the time they were wrlt tn of earlier books which the gospel writ ers ' made' a free use of. There were, clearly enough to be made out, writings, 'The sayings (logia) of Jesus,' whloh, be sides His words mn,y have contained some narrative of His ministry. But Luke's statement Implies that there were more than these, and it would be the business of a person who should undertake to write a fresh sketch to go over all the avail able work of his predecessors, using and combining according to his best judgment their material. This Is what the writers of our first three gospels did, from which they are called synoptics, as their task was to make a synopsis of what they had before them. These sources of our gos pels, with the exceptions of fragments quoted by the fathers or gathered out of recent excavations, have perished, bat In the first and second centuries they were real and Important, though In the main secondary. "If we had them before us now there would be felt the necessity of seeking out their sources, for they, we may be sure, were not the original Chrlstlnn writings. They, too, depended on records that pre ceded them and so on bac't to the time immediately following the crucifixion. Criticism on this theory has only Just begun. "No doubt much was done fr .in the first orally to preserve and perpetuate the gos pel teaching, but the Intelligent and edu cated class would not stop with that, and we may be sure there were Christians In apostollo times who were educated and ln- A SENSIBLE MOTHER Proud of her children's teeth, consults a dentist and learns that the beauty of perma nent teeth depend on the care taken of tht first get.

IHJNAftY, Kidney and Bladder Troubles, ISITY OP SPIRIT IS DEVELOPED One of the Ureal Results of the Evan. ellral Campaign Jost Closed. In closing the union evangelistic meetings for the 'downtown district In the First Presbyterian church, Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks commented on the unity of spirit manifested by the congregation. A delight ful fellowship has resulted and If the meetings have done nothing more, this was enough to justify them. He felt It a good thing that the members of the various churches could put aside their small dif ferences and unite, making Christ the first of all. Dr. Herrnn of the Presbyterian Theolog ical seminary preached, drawing his les son from the noble snd wealthy young man who turned away sorrowing because Christ told him he must dispose of all If he wished to be assured of eternal life, Dr. Herron pointed out that Jesus never saw a soul trembling In the balance, on the point of making the right decision, yet withheld by something, . without Intense sympathy. Such Christ watched with deep est yearning. The speaker pointed out that some young men could fall In the great decision of life without feeling any great sorrow, for they were not of the earnest heart of this young man who turned away sorrowing. The preacher would not go so far as to say Christ would make the same requirement of everyone, for each person had a different nature and Christ always went to his great weakness. He felt the soul of each man under the guidance of the Holy Spirit would lead him to see what was the thing which kept him from Ood. The refusal of the young man of wealth meant the sacrifice of his great Ideal his failure. Bo with every young man and woman brought up In Christian homes with convictions of right and wrong, with the Idea of some day giving themselves to Ood; they could not fall and turn away without a feeling of great sadness. This young man had only thought that he was asking to have the way pointed out for him. But he was tried in the balance and found wanting, as are many who when the time comes, find they are unable to give up the thing which should be sacrificed. "Such a moment must bring despair," the speaker continued. "Ah, my friends, Ood brings us to that point of weakness so that we shall cost ourselves on His mercy. Think what service that young man could have rendered his Master If he had followed His command. This Is the cause of sadness every time anyone re jects the Master. If you want to make your life useful In the world cast In your lot with Christ, for He only can fill your hands with tasks which shall endure. He who turns from Christ and the cross and will not follow to Calvary to give himself up to be Influenced and moulded, falls to learn the secret of life Is death the dying out of sin and being reborn Into righteous ness. Decide once for all now, and cast yourselves on His Infinite mercy. Take me as I am, O Lord.' " AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Republican Primaries for Board of Educa tion Members Today. P8LLS OPEN FROM NOON TO 7 O'CLOCK Monaster Marshy of the Cadahy Flaat Inclined to Dlsroaat Fears of Flood on the Kaw the Coming; Sprlaug. S E El RIGHTEOUSNESS FIRST Rev. Mr. T1nda.Il Holds Rellsrlon and Business Not Imconipat tble. The men's mass meeting at the Calvary Baptist church yesterday afternoon was conducted by Rev. D. K. Tlndall of South Omaha. "Seek ye first the kingdom of Ood and Hiss righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you," was the verse selected from the gospel according to St. Matthew and around which Rev. Mr. Tln dall centered his remarks. "Religion Is the first duty a man has In this world and It behooves him to give his heart early to Ood," said the minister. "Some men think they should first accumu late all of this world's goods they can be fore coming to the throne of grace, on the theory that they cannot reconcile a business life with Christianity. Secular business and religion are not antagonistic and never were Incompatible. "The very first thing we meet In life Is Ood. Nature Is full of the presence and teachings of Ood. Before man there was Ood. He made man. Only fools can deny the existence of a personal Ood. To fear Ood and keep His commandments should be the chief aim of man. The will of Ood Is the highest law we know. He Is the stand ard of everything. There Is happiness In religion. We want happiness, but should not crave after the mere pleasures of this world. We should not adopt that olden phil osophy, 'Let us eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.' " DR. CON LEY TO THE CHILDREN Instances of Jeans' Lore for Them Are Forcibly Pictured. Owing to the intense cold prevailing dur ing the afternoon the attendance at the Chlldrens' Sabbath Day rally at the First Congregational church Sunday afternoon waa not as large as could have been hoped for. There waa a considerable number present, however, the rally being of the children of the central district, comprising the downtown Evangelical churches. The principal speaker was Rev. J. W. Conley of the First Baptist church, who discoursed upon the A, B, C of the gospels. His ad dress was full of Interest, touching upon the love of Christ for children and His frequent reference to them In all of His work as examples of Faith, Love and Vir tue. Dr. Conley's address was listened to with the deepest Interest and was given in such a manner as to leave a deep Impres sion upon his young hearers. He strongly set forth their capability of doing Christ's work and the eternal benefits to be de rived from following His teachings. Weak XUuik. Burning Urine, Frequency of Urinating.

WANTS TO RAISE THE PRICE Snow Shoveling and Furnace Tend Inar Contract that Has Become All One-sided. . "Why sin't you home shoveling snow oft your sidewalks?" remarked a West Farnam district resident to a neighbor who had Just finished luncheon at the Mer chants Sunday. "There Is a story back of that query," answered the other. "You see, some time early In the fall a chap who lives by odd Jobs up In our neigh borhood made a proposition' to me Just before Thanksgiving that he would take the contract for keeping the snow shoveled off my sidewalks and look after the fur nace for SB per month and I took him up. Well, that fellow Is game, and he has stuck right to his Job, and about all he has had time to do this winter Is to shovel off the snow, as I live on a corner. He struck me the other day for a raise to $60 per month, and I am Just debating in my mind what to do about it."

The retiring members of the board are: Jay Laverty, Dana Morrill and P. H. Bock. Messrs. Laverty and Morrill are candidates for re-election on the repub lican ticket Dr. W. L. Curtis has been slated by the republicans as the third member to take the place of Mr. Bock, democrat. As the republicans are united on this ticket It appears more than prob able that the ticket to be nominated on Tuesday will be elected. So far the demo crats have not made a move and It begins to look as If there would not be a very strong ticket nominated. Do Xnt run PIaaiI- M. E. Murphy, general manager of the Cudahy Packing company, said to a Bee reporter last night that his company did not expect any severe floods In Kansas ny mis year "The Kaw river Is so low now," sold Mr. Murphy, "that one can almost walk across It. The report that the packers would divert shipments from Kansas CltV to thta market for four- nf a flood are unfounded. We propose keeping our piant there running and do not ex pect anv hlffh water Itnlua thora .liniiM happen to- be an Ice gorge." The other pacKers nere make practically the same statement that Mr. Murphy did. ' Board Meets Tonight. The South Omaha Board of Education will hold an adjourned meeting tonight for the purpose of talking over arrangements for the opening of the new high school building. Mr. Laverty, secretary of the board, said last night that the matter of a program was In charge of the committee on buildings and grounds and that what ever arrangements were marie hv th committee would be ratified by the board. Me sai a that there would be music by an orchestra and Ing would be a sort of Informal affair. mgn scnooi classes are to be requested to Join In making the literary and musical program a success. Expect Lla-ht Receipts. Advices from railroad companies received at the stock yards yesterday predict light receipts of all kinds of live stock. Trains all over the territory tributary to this mar ket are held up on account of mm and bad rails, and a number of commission men said last night that all they expected to do for several days was to snalc tin ho.it In their offices. Every one at the exchange is noping tot a let up In the present low temperature and this goes also with the butchers employed at the packing houses, who are not working half time now on ac count of the storms holding back receipts. Two Deaths Yesterday. Carl O. Lund, aged 80 years, died yester day at his home. 618 North Twenty-fifth street. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Swedish Baptist church, Twenty-second and K streets. Interment will be at Laurel Hill cemetery. The deceased has lived In South Omaha for about twenty years and Is well known. Mrs. Martha E. Olmsted. al 79 VA.r. died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. t! a. Bcott, iovi North Twenty-first street, yesterday. The deceased had been aJllna- for some time and a severe cold con tracted a couple of weeks aa-o waa th cause of death. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Service Gets Worse. With the continued cold the street car service gets worse. Saturday night and Sunday very few cars made the attempt to CiimD the U street hi and old timers were reminded of the days when there waa not a car track on Q street Some of the city officials were also reminded of the franchise ordinance given the street car company for building the Q street line ana me requirements exacted. Slippery rails and the bad weather had practically shut off West Q street and Albright. The Walnut Hill cars run now with no coal In the stoves and of course Dassena-er. nm complaining. The city council appears to be diffident about taking the matter up witn street car officials and demanding what Is due the people of South Omahn under the franchises granted. Snow Heavy on Roofs. The city building lnsnentnr la iinr around quietly notifying oeoDle to mat th snow cleaned off their roots. The snow as it lays now is quite heavy and unless some thing Is done towards removing the weight there Is danger of some roofs caving In. Some of the business men have lodged after this matter already, but the great ma jority are waiting for a thaw. With the present condition of the streets and side walks the snow should be removed, but Mayor Koutsky has refused to expend any money for this purpose. In Omaha the street car company Is pay ing a portion of the costs of removing the snow and It ts figured that If the city here shows a willingness to have snow carted off a similar arrangement might be mode. The mayor is stubborn on this proposition and declines to take any hand In an ex penditure of money which will possibly cause an overlap In the street In this connection Mayor Koutsky says that every cent of the money In the street fund will be needed In the spring to repair washouts caused by the melting of about three feet of snow. The business streets are piled high with snow and there seems to be no relief' from the present condition until warmer weather sets In. Magic City Gossip.' J. F. McReynolds Is again laid up with an attack of the grip. " The union evangelical services closed last night with union services at the Methodist church. Rev. O. W. Burch preached the sermon.

AT THE PLAYHOUSES Vaudeville at the IrrUhlnn-Orphesm, A bill that Is so generally good that It would hardly be fair to single out any of Its features for especial praise, was pre sented yesterday for the opening perform ance of the week to the biggest matinee audience ever assembled at the Orpheum. The acts are varied and yet sufficiently re lated to present a pleasing whole. Prob ably the McMahon Minstrel Maids will prove the most popular of the features, but It Is certain that the work of the Chinese Jugglers and magicians will rank high In public favor, and that Cunning will mystify people quite as completely In his way as do the Chinese In theirs. The Dancing De Muths furnish some whirlwind movements and some distinct novelties in the way of dancing. Mr. C. Grant Gardner and Miss Marie Stoddard have a novelty act, and Miss Eleanor Falke Is both dainty and pleasing In her songs. The Chinese, five In number, present the water bowl tricks, made familiar here In IK by the great Chlng Lin Foo. The present troupe is headed by Chlng Lan Foo, who differs from Lin In stature as well as In name, thus making It all the more marvelous that he can carry concealed about his person the Immense bowls of water he so mysteriously produces. More Interest attaches to some, of the Juggling features of the enter'aln ment provided by other members of the troupe, who achieve some decidedly start ling results In a graceful and agile man ner. Time spent at the St. Louis exposition has placed these performers somewhnt nt ease, and while they do not speak English to any alarming extent, they manage to extract a great deal of comedy out of their performance, and thus afford a good deal of occasion - for laughter aa well as for wonderment. Cunning allows himself to be weighted down with handcuffs and leg Irons, chains and manacles, and Is then chained and locked In a steel cage, from which he releases himself tn a short space of time. He doesn't show how he does It, and offers a reward of $100 to anyone who will explain his methods. The McMahon Minstrel Maids, nine In number, give a most laughable presentation of an old-time minstrel "first part," with a number of new songs very well rendered, and wind up with a spectacular song, "O, Melon Sweet." This Is a decided hit. Lindsay's dogs and monkeys add much to the comedy side of the bill. The Oardner-Stoddard act Is neither one thing nor another, but a combi nation of several that ts put together In a most effective way. The pictures In the ktnodrome are good and evoked much laughter. "Way Down East" at the Boyd. Lottie Blair Parker's "throbber," elabor ated as to its throbbing qualities by Joseph R. Grismer, and presented with an eye single to Its throbbing possibilities by Wil liam A. Brady, was presented at the Boyd twice yesterday, drawing very good houses both times. It retains all Its old original power for arousing the anticipated conflict of emotions, and keeps Its audience between a laugh and a cry, with occasional fits of righteous Indignation or rage, until the close of the curtain fallB on a nunlshed vil lain and a righted heroine. It has the same weaitn or scenic ertects and Is presented by a good company. Miss Rubv nrlria-ea is Anna Moore, the persecuted heroine; Cyril Kaymona is uavld Bartlett, the true-hearted youth who braved his father's wrath In the cause of a wronged woman, and .r Anima Graham Is Lennox Sanderson, the city man wno caused all the trouble. The work of these three is worthy of the village choir, Louis Remington (tenor), John Mllton( bass), Lulu Konarl (soprano) and Pearl Sanford .(alto), Is a fine organi sation. Miss Konarl has a remarkahlv sweet and pure voles of great range and power, and Is supported splendidly by the others In tho rendition of A nilmhop if homely old songs, ail without accompani ment, i ne engagement was for two per formances only. . , "Why Girls I-eavc Home" at the Krag Why anybody should leave home on a. nv like yesterday Isn't answered vet. but Man. ager Breede of the Krug wore out his voice explaining and his hand in refunding money for tickets sold for the matinee veatnrrt.iv on account of the non-arrival of the com pany from Des Moines in time for the mat inee. The performance was given In the evening to the regular Sunday night sized house all the theater would hold. And It was very pleasing. "Why Girls Leave Home" Is a thriller on a different tnev it undertakes to show that sometimes re straint may be misplaced, or a brother's inv. may take a little too strenuous method of demonstrating itself, while at the namm time it points out to headstrong misses that there are pitfalls and snares of which they do not learn In country homes, and around which a stranger from the city is not the best of guides. Five acts and seven scenes are needed to unfold the tale and Its denoument The company having the mat ter in hand Is quite capable. Miss Delia Clarke aa Pearl Sherwood, the wayward girl, Walter Walker as Dan Sherwood, the impetuous brother, and Henry M. Hicks aJ Joseph White, the scheming destroyer, all being above the average In ahuttv nH making their roles strong and satisfying. A special Lincoln's birthday matinee will be given this afternoon and the piece will be continued until after Wednesday night, with a matinee on Wednesday. CAUGHT BY PASSING TRAIN Mrs. Llssle Norrls Seriously Hart by Being; Struck by Missouri Pacific Engine. Mrs. Lizzie Norrls, who wves at 1311 Cal ifornia street, was struck bv Mi..n.i Pacific train while walking on the tracks on t-aiiromia street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, at 6:10 o'clock vatr- day afternoon.

HIGH WATER AND ICE JAMS FEARED Fred for Stock Is Banning Short aad Water Holes Are Froscn Over In Many Places on the Kanares. Ted Allison, who lives north of Dakota City, was at the Merchants Sunday and tells that the people up along the river are getting anxious about the weather, and particularly the after results from the snow. He said: "As far aa I can learn the snow ex tends farther than Tierre. S. D., and will average from eight to eighteen Inches on the level. Cattle are suffering badlv. Everybody has to feed and feed Is get ting scarce. The water holes are all frozen solid nnd many of the stockmen along the river have cut holes In the Ice on the river and carry water to the stock. The river Is frozen almost solid near the banks and It Is too dangerous to let the stock go out to the holes cut through the Ice to the current, where the Ice In many cases Is eighteen Inches thick. The cattle cannot get down to It. "The trouble Is going to come when the thaw comes and the river breaks up. There will be no end of high water, and I predict that there Is going to be lots of trouble all along the river. The Ice Jam Is going to be tremendous, not only In the Missouri, but In all the streams In that part of the country. The railroads are already preparing for It and are looking for lots of damage to bridges. Some of them will put men to work as soon as they can work, protecting Ve bridges, and many of the roads have material on the ground now to protect the bridges wherever pos sible." Cattle Have to Be Housed. Deputy United States Marshal Jim Allan has but recently returned from a blft trip through tho north central part of the state on court business, and In talking about the snow, he said: "I do not think that I ever saw the snow deeper In the north part of the state than It Is now. We sometimes had to make drives of twenty to sixty' miles, and It Is almost Impossible to get through the drifts. It Is bad enough on the levels. About the only way we could atempt to do anything at all was to take scoopshovels with us to dig out a road. There are no cattle to be seen on the range at all. They have all to be housed and some of the stockmen are running short of feed. Unless this weather lets up pretty soon there will be a very heavy loss of stock."
