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-

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.' "

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.

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."

As there Is only one ticket In the field
It is not expected that the voting will be
very lively. 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.

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

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

at the stock yards yesterday predict light
receipts of all kinds of live stock. Trains
all over the territory tributary to this mar

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

South Omaha for about twenty years and
Is well known.
Mrs. Martha E. Olmsted. al 79 VA.r.

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

be diffident about taking the matter up

what Is due the people of South Omahn

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.

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.

STOCKMEN DREAD BREAKUP
South Dakota Predicts a Bad Tims When
Thaw Gomes.
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."

KEEP AHEAD OF THE UOYEMEMT Besides irrigated land under private
enterprise for sale today, the Government has commenced the expenditure of two and
one half million dollars, and will put water on one hundred thousand acres of land in
each locality, viz: The Big Horn Basin and the North Platte Valley, at an average
cost of $25.00 an acre. One can secure land either by purchase from the Irrigation
companies or he can secure homestead lands in advance of the water. The history of
irrigated lands' shows that their price has greatly increased during the last few years.
The well known writer, Wm. E. Curtis, In his letter to the Chicago Record
Herald, January 30, describing the Governmental Irrigating Plans through the West,
calls attention to one particular area, which will cost owners $250.00 an acre, and the
cost will be low considering the value of the products of that region. There are
thousands of acres of irrigated lands in the West that cannot be bought for f 100.00
"an acre.
TO WEST AKD NORTHWEST NEBRASKA On the same dates excursion
rates of one fare plus 2.00. This is a promising stretch of country, available for euc
cessful live stock, dairy and mixed farming industry. These lands have greatly
hanced in value in the last few years.
