;.maiia DAILY BEE : MONDAY, AUGUST 14, 1905. APOSTLE OF THE RANGE MEN Rt. Jthn CreMwell of Wyoming Preaches Tw Bermotn in Omaha. HOLDS FORTH AT CHURCH WHERE SAVED v. Dr. K. R. t nrr , nironrlni on "Seeriaee," Asserts Ihf strength of Maa Rests in Ilia God. Rev. John Cresswell, th cowboy preacher of Arvada, Wyo, preahd Sunday morn ing and evening at the People's church. A large congregation was present both times to hear the man who " renverted by Rev. Charles W. Kagldge five years ago when he came to Omaha with a loud of rat tle and accidentally happened Into the Feople's church while on a spree. The "cowboy preacher," a griy-halred man. has spent his life punching cattle In the Panhandle of Texas and on the plains of Kansas and Wyurr.lng. He Is still strong and vigorous and expects to live a good many years to spread the gospel among his old camp-mates. His territory embraces a stretch of WO miles along the Powder river in Wyoming and Montana, one of the biggest cattle districts of the west. Hi every town saloons and gambling houses are In evidence, but there are no churches. Mr. Cresswell Is the only preacher along the river. He has no regularly organized churches and asks no money of the people to whom he preaches. The reformed cowboy Is a great religious power in the cattle country. Not long ngo he Instituted a revival at Clenrmont, W'yo., and aout half the people in the town pro fessed religion. The report as It first came to Omaha said that the whole town was convened, but upon wr'tlng to the "cowboy preacher." Mr. Savldgn learned that the story had been exaggerated "by 10" per cent. Mr. Cresswell finds his way to the heart of the uncouth cowpuncher where an Omahu preacher would fail, fnpollshed In manner, himself, and lacking In education on the fine points of grammar, rhetoric and logic, to a congregation of cowboys he seems like one of themselves. At the same time he has a good voice and an earnestness of manner which carries con viction with every word. It Is said that the cowboys frequently ride fifty miles to hear '.t'.m. In the sermons yesterday, Mr. Cress well declined to talk of himself. In the morning sermon he tulked of the Kplrit of God and what It does for man. After telling of the struggle with sin and the triumph of the Spirit In taking from the heart carnality and love of worldly pleas ures, he summed up the works of the Spirit by saying: "And when the love of worldly pleasures is gone, and when the attention Is no longer bent continually on the attainment of worldly riches, then in the heart is es tablished peace, the peace that passclh all understanding, peace that Hows like a river." LAV SKIIMt) 111 JIlXiK HERKI Speaks of "Mural Cripples" at llan fiiiii Park Church. Judge I.ouls A. Herka was the speaker at the fifth o' the scries of "lay sermons" given at the Hanscom Park Methodist church last night under the auspices of the Brotherhood During his experience us a police magistrate Judge Hersa bus acquired a knowledge of the submerged classes which perhaps fits him better to speak on his chosen subject than any other man in Omaha. His subject was "Moral Crip ples." His talk showed that he has made a thorough study of the different types of men and women, not only those who habitually are before the bar of Juatlce In police court, but be has u knowledge of human nature In all of Its classes. "I have Heen wives pleading with their husbands not to do things which would bring them before, the police court, and I have seen mothers and sisters l-gglng a brother and a son to keep away from the paths of wrong-doing, and that brother and son would listen to the pleading and promise to do better, but as soon as he was out of hearing of his mother and sister he would go straight hack to bis former life and perhaps In a day or two he would be brought back to be tried on a similar charge, or, perhaps, a worse one. "There are professionals in crime as well as In any other lines. There are men who confine themselves to petit thievery, and there are those who make a practice of committing crime on a larger scale, and there are those who make a practice of robbing houses and confine themselves to this work alone. All these have to be dealt with according to the law and punished according to the gravity of their offenses. "It has often been said that publicity is a preventative of crime, and In some in stances It Is, hut In a great many cases the men before the court prefer u great deal of publicity rather than not. And it Is not the severity of punishment that de ters many from commltcng ureater crimes, but It is the certainty of the punishment which will make them think more than ones before committing a graver offense." STRENGTH OK MIS IS III (.(II) Her. Dr. Curry Dwells on Need of Sacrifice In Nervier. "Let no man offer to Clod that which costs him nothing," whs the theme of a dis course on "Sacrifice" delivered by Rev. E. R. Curry at the Calvary Baptist church Bunday .morning. The beautiful church was well filled In spite of the heat, a quartet taking the place of the chorus choir. "God judges man not by what he says, but by the spirit that lies behind his deeds. A man Is not saved by his might, but the strength of a man Is In his Uod. Iavld made a great mistake when he numbered the people of Israel. David had left God out of the count and was rely ing upon human resources. The Iird re sented this and sent a pestilence that car ried away 70,000 of the people of Israel. David saw the folly of his ways when he aw so many of his people wiped out In such a short space of time. "David tried to Inculcate In his people thst broad doctrine that no offering Is an offer ing unless accompanied by a saninVe. None are good unless they are costly. Ab raham gave the most costly possession that he had when he offered his son." Pr. Curry gave numerous Instances that tie had known of splendid sacrifices on the part of good people. He said that there should be no Christian effort unless ac companied by sacrifices.

Nev., w.hlch Is sixty nubs southwest of Ijis Vegns, Nev., one of the new stations on the recently opened San Pedro line. "We have some of the finest country in the world In Nevada," said Mr Fulmcr. 'That It is one of the best mineral sec tions In the world Is borne out by statis tics. The new San Pedro line is working great things for our country. Take, for Instance, the town of Ijis Vegus. which is Just seventy days old It already has a population of 3,A. has seven miles of gravel and oil paving under way, a fine passenger depot on the old mission style, a large Ice plant and It Is growing every day like a bay tree. "Las Vena Is now the. distributing point for such mines as the Bullfrog, Search light. Callvada nnd a down others In the Goldfield country. The town has OflO freight teHtns busy every day hauling consign ments Into the Interior. "J. Ross Clark and Mr. Grace have con structed a private road from Ijis Vegas to Bullfrog, a distance of 120 miles, for the operation of an automobile line. The of ficials of the San Pedro line are now ne gotiating for the erection of a large sani tarium at Ijs Vegas, and all this, mind you, In a town only seventy days old."

FYom present Indications there Is likely to be a hitch In the launching of the new Colored Presbyterian church of Omaha. At least tinder the administration of Rev. John Andrew Pope. A.B. B.D. Such are the natural deductions from the proceed ings held at Iwe Avenue Presbyterlar church Sunday afternoon. Immediately following the regular devo tional exercises of the afternoon, at which Rev. Dr. Pope preached, from the text of John iii:6. Mr. W. J. Johnson, one ol the best known and highly esteemed col ored men of Omaha, and one of the leaders In the, movement for the organisation of the cfiurrh, stated that he had, from the start, been deeply Interested In the new movement and had hoped to see It succeed, but from recent developments he was satis fled It could not succeed under the leader ship of Rev. Dr. Tope. He said: "What I am about to say pains me very much, but my duty an a Christian and a Presbyterian impels me to speak very plainly. Wrons Man Xow Present. "There Is one person connected with this organization whom I am satisfied from my own knowledge and information is not the right man for this work. He is present at this time and what I have to say I wish to say In his presence." Rev. Dr. Pope here Interrupted Mr. Johnson with the remark: "Go on, Mr. Johnson, and say what you Intend to say. Speak out so that the people here will undeiguuul you." "That is exactly what I Intend to do," re sponded Mr. Johnson. "You, Mr. Pope, are the man to whom I refer. Several days ago a social was to be held at the home of one of our members In the Interest of this organization. It had been formally announced, and you were, I. believe, to be present. However, nobody came. At the time, 1 was sick In bed. A short while after, my son came to me and told me he was on a Twenty-fourth street car and saw you on that car and that you were intoxicated. I asked him it he could not be mistaken, and he Insisted that he was not, that he knew you quite well, and he repeated a maudlin conversation you had with the conductor about being put off at p. certain street, long after you had passed the street The following morning 1 again asked my son if he was not mistaken, but he still Insisted he was .not. It has also come to the knowledge of some of our members that you have abruptly entered their homes, showing them scant courtesy, and that the women of those homes have been alarmed by your actions, which were not at all consistent with the actions of a Christian minister. Twice Attempted Suicide. "I also have learned fioin unquestioned sources that you have, at least twice, at tempted suicide since you have been In the city. That at one time the services of a doctor had to be invoked and a stom ach pump was used to pump the poison from your stomach. "At another time you went down to Bellevue and slept out on the iiellevue campus all night. "The natural deduction Is that If you are not strong enough to bear your troubles without resort to suicide you are hardly the man to undertake the leadership of a church and I, fy,r one, cannot countenance your leadership and must decline to have anything further to do with you In this mutter." Pope Makes a Heply. Rev. Dr. Pope in reply to Mr. Johnson said: "This Is a personal matter and I have the right to bear my troubles ill any iiiunner 1 see ;1t. I have met with many discouragements, but I am a minister of the gospel and an ordained minister of the Presbyterian church and have the Presbyterian organization back of ma. I do not deny that 1 was tempted to take my own life while under great discourage ment, but even this would not hinder me from doing God's work. 1 have done nothing wrong, us God Is my Judge, done nothing InconslHent with my duty as a minister. 1 have been Invited Into the homes of our people freely and have availed myself of that Invitation." Dr. J. II. Hutton, the leading colored physician of the city, also was present and he confirmed In a general way the remarks of Mr. Johnson, and said: Agrees Pope Is Inflt to Lead. "I am a Presbyterian, have been edu cated In a Presbyterian school and believe in the high Ideals of the Presbyterian doc trine. And while It has been my prayer and wish since in Omaha to see a Presby terian church of out race organized here, I am fully satisfied that you, Mr. Pope, are not the man to do that work. You are too weak and vacillating. Personally I have nothing against you, but as for assisting In the organization of a Presby terian church here, I can have nothing to do with It so long as you are to be its leader. So 1 am of the opinion that this matter had best be drop'ed here and now." Several colored women present spoke In liko terms and in a measure confirmed re ports of the discourteous manner in which Mr. Pope entered their homes. The Janitor of Lowe Avenue church, also a colored man, when called upon for remarks, stated that he had nothing to ' say except that, "as matters had come to tills head all 1 can say Is that there will e no more meetings of this organiza tion held tn this church." The controversy throughout was carried on earnestly, but with very little acri mony. Rev. Dr. Pope had but little to say In conclusion other than to ask all the congregation to speak, calling out each one individually. There were about fifteen persons present.

The season at the Knig theater was opened yesterday with two performances of Lincoln J. Carter's scenic melodrama, "Too Proud to Beg " In spite of the hot weather, both afternoon and evening were marked by n attendance which Indicates that the people are ready and anxious to start on a new round of theater going The theater Is beautiful In Its new ap pointments, the whole Interior having been repainted and artistically decorated. New carpets also are laid In. the aisles. "Too Proud to Res;" Is a story full of tragic situations well enough known In Omaha to need no special Introduction now. It gives abundant satisfaction both to those who love to slfth and those who love to laugh. The Inst curtain still goes down with the heroine In the arms of the heco and all are happy except the villains, of which there are several. Fred Eckert snd Mrs. Rogers, as husband and wife, natur ally were of chief Interest In the cast and are clever In their line. Inspector Sharp, though not a favorite with the au dience, was good as a villain. The play will be given Monday. Tuesday and Wed nesday evenings and Wednesday matinee. Woodward Stork Company Opens. KANSAS CITY, Aug. U. (Special Tele gram.) The new Woodward stock company which is to be the permanent attraction In the Bur wood theater, Omaha, gave lta first performances today at the Auditorium theater to audiences that completely packed the big Woodward A Burgess Kansas City playhouse. The stock company's initial pro duction was Belasco and Fyles' "The Girl I left Behind Me," which will also probably be the company's first production at the Burwood theater. The players In the new company, most of whom were strangers In Kansas City, were given an enthusiastic reception, while the work of Eva Lang, tho leading woman; Albert Morrison, the new leading man; Cecil Owen, Dollle Davis, Frederick Fulton, Harry Long and Grant Simpson was of the very highest order. The stock company's opening at the Auditorium Inaugurated the regular theat rical season In Kansas City and while the thermometer registered close to the 9j mark, standing room was at a premium. It has been several seasons since Woodward & Burgess have had a regular stock or ganization In this city and there was much curiosity as to . the quality of the new company. The unanimous opinion was that the present organzatlon compares favorably with Its predecessors. Albert Morrison, playing the leads, was seen last season In IJebler & Company's production of "The Christian." He cre ated a very favorable impression and In the role of Lieutenant Hawkesworth, re ceived numerous curtain calls. Cecil Owen was secured by Manager Woodward In NeW York. He was in the original Broad way production of "Old Hledelberg," and his work In tonight's performance was an artistic effort as Is seldom seen In stock work. The play lias been given an elab orate stage mounting and the battle scene In the third act evoked the wildest en thusiasm. The Star will say: "The new Woodward Stock company scored a big success In Its Initial performance this afternoon. The company Is evenly balanced and made up of capable actors. The production Is mag nificent and the Indlun attack on an army post In the third act Is the most thrilling and reullstlc bit of stage work ever seen on a local stae. The Journal says: "It Is the best acting stock company ever seen In Kansas City and congratu lates Omaha In having such an organization with it for an entire season." Manager Woodward announced tonight that the Burwood In Omaha would be opened September. !!. Either "The Girl I Left Behind Me" or "A Royal Family" will be the bill. The company's engage ment In Kansas City is limited to two weeks. OVER ONE THOUSAND EAGLES Judge Cooler on Carivaa. Catherine M. Carlisle, a local artist of some repute, has given new distinction to Judge Julius S Cooley by a portrait now on exhibition in the window of the Beaton Drug company. Miss Carlisle is decidedly clever with her brush, and the distinguished subject of her latest effort has certainly lost nothing at her hands. The perennial smile of the well known man of law Is hinted at rather than limned, yet there Is no difficulty in finding It lurking In every lineament of the debonair countenance. In the prime of life, with many of the Induce ments that appeal to genius, Judge Cooley has attracted the enthusiasm of the ar tistic spirit to make him live again on canvas as he lives In his dally walks, cour teous and of exceeding politeness, the "glass of fashion and the mold of form." Array Pistol Competition. .n'NCTTON CITY. Kan.. Aug. 13-The army pistol competition will commence at the national range at Fort Riley tomor row.

GREAT DAY FOR THE BATHERS Manawa Attraets One of Largest Crowds of the Season. the It was made evident at Manhattan beach, Lake Manawa, Sunday afternoon the as sertion that there Is a bathing fad In vogue at the popular resort. The largest crowd of bathers that have assembled at any one hour was In the water at 4 o'clock and had not the rain come up In the evening It would have been the record day at the beach, as well as one of the biggest of the Reason for the resort all around. The same large percentage of women swimmers that has marked the attendance all this season were In evidence with some attractive suits. Boating was Just about as popular ns bathing and the launches and rowboats were kept busy all the afternoon, while the numerous other pastimes did a thriv ing business. On the program of free shows a new fea ture that appealed to those who like a thriller was "Dure Devil" Fackler's slide for life. With an American flag flying In each hand Fackler made his perilous de scent on a wire suspended by his teeth. Still another feat of sensationalism was Prof. Andrews' fine balloon ascension. The more esthetic liked the two concerts by Covalt's band. Encores were numerous. In the evening at the Casino II. L. Heffner sang and the kinetoscope projected some amusing pictures.
