VENGEANCE OF OOD, SAYS HITIMOI w..A He Tlilnks la That Omaha Eseaaed. "This awful earthquake Is a visitation of Ood on a wicked city. The only wonder Is that only the cities on the coast have been Included and the wrath did not strike rwnah. The only reason Is that Ood's natlenoa has not entirely worn out.' This declaration was made yesterday morning- at Kountsa Memorial church by Rev. J. E. Hummon In his sermon on the Ban Francisco calamity. He took his text from Revelation Xl:U "And the same hour I tvire a treat earthquake, ana inn tenth pert of the city fen and In the earth quake wr slain of men 7.000 and the remnant were affrighted and gave glory to the Ood of heaven." This disaster," he said, "has nrougni instruction or partial destruction to many cities on the coast. I doubt not but this horrible catastrophe has been sent of God for a miroose. It Is not the first time l Ood has brought upon this world visitations of this character to attract men to Better thoughts. Borne people are drawn to Ood I through love. Others It seems must be at- trarted by some phenomenal occurrence, "It Is terrible, no one can deny that. Bo was the flood when all men were de stroved but Noah and his wife, their three sons and their wives. Bo was the raining down of burning ashes upon Sodom. Bo was the Inundating of Holland, the burning of Chicago, the Johnstown and Galveston floods. God hates sin and sooner or later I He will punish It. He Is warning people to- day to flee from the wrath to come. He does not say when It will come or how it will come, but It will come sooner or later. , "Tuesday evening the people of Ban Fran elsoo were wasting their time In gaiety and sin. It Is the universal testimony that San Francisco Is the worst city on the continent.. , Bin and disregard of law are rampant. It has a reputation for Infi delity and atheism. The people had no thouaht of God. But Ood will let tnem Vnnw He rules the universe. Men have been brought to a standstill and are think g more of God today than they were last B sjvew . . . 1 In Sunday. We all needed this. It reminds us that God is still at the helm." DIVIXB WRATH THEORY ABSURD Dr. Mann Condemns TfcU as Arrant Saoerstltloa. r? v Kewton Mann of Unity church preached Sunday morning to the effect that catastrophes " are not lnterpretable aa divine correction. "It has been asked," aatd Dr. Mann, "if there la a beneficent Ruler, why la It He did not avert this subterranean dlsaater at San Francisco. It w b rauae tha crocesses of nature are In- finltoly mora important than hundreds of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars. Tha eternal Deity has other sheep out. side this fold; He has other purpose than tha destiny of this earthly raoo; He has tne universe to hold. "How It is that people can attribute the cataclysm of nature to the wrath of God 1 something I cannot understand. I When an earthquake destroyed Lisbon. I the church said the city got It desert for being wicked. When Charleston was I wrecked la 19 I heara a Presbyterian minister say that th wrath of God had I been vlalted on th city for Its wicked I ness, especially It neglect of the Sab. I bath. "Oh, foolish peoplel Are we to puff ourselves up with th fancy that every. thing which transpire ha reference to usT We are quit beside ourselves to regard tb ripening of th harvest by favorable weather as a special mark of divine ear for us. Th earthquak tum ble over a city and th hurricane rush oven th ae. piling mountain waves on th fair land and drowning It Inhab itant. Nothing but arrant superstition oould attribute these catastrophe to dlvtn anger. Th universe waa not mad for min; h 1 but speck In It and In- rldenlal to it. Tb sun doe not shin and th rain doe not fall for him, but he ha sprung up among the natural phenomena with soma sort of adjustment to them, Tn conditions In which he delight and th conditions against which he murmur are age elder than th rac. It ia unwarranted presumption to Inter pret them a evidence of th dlvln at titude toward him.' HOOF OF COO'S SOVEREIGNTY t'ataatreph. Dr. Bardlek Say a. Show Keebleaea of Ku. - Tb calamity In California waa th them tor th sermon by Rev. Newman H Bur dlck at tb Second Presbyterian church yesterday morning, ana it was also re ferred to at th evening servlc. "La, son from th California Catastrophe" was th title of th morning sermon, in which Dr. Burdlok said. In parti "It 1 vain to ask 'Why do appalling catastrophe oourr but th pertinent question t. What leasons or light may w dertv from them when they do occurT H pictured th vaunted greatness of th city, mentioning th fact It haa been uompared to Sodom and Oomorrah, and reading an editorial from th Call of April U. which said: "Our destiny 1 upon u. W cannot escape it. San Francisco haa an Impetus that nothing can check. lis then pointed out tb sudden and awful destruction which blotted out th city, saying In this Is aa Illustration of th evereignty ef Oo4 add th XhliMW f man. He said the Instances of arpravuy shown In the tajea of looting and lust teach the need of the grace of Ood In the human heart, but he also called attention to the acts of bravery and chivalry. In the opinion of the pastor the calamity reminds the people that Ood's ancient laws I still stand that they can still believe In His righteous retribution, which In these days Is considered out of date, lie said the great lesson of human brotherhood Is also learned once more In the Immediate plans for succor. A special contribution was taken up at the morning service for the Ban Francisco sufferers netting 147. This was Increased to ISO In the evening. GOD'S MESSAGE IS THE CALAMITY am Fraartaro Disaster a Call to Evaaarellaatloa of World. Preaching on the topic, "God a Man of War," Rev. E. R. Curry referred at some length to the San Francisco disaster In his sermon at Calvary Baptist church last night. In part he said: 'It Is a Question how much of God we can sea In events as they happen. The calamity that befell San Francisco might be Interpreted aa an evidence of God's worth. It is said by some San Francisco Is the wickedest of cities, but I have won dered If U Is any worse than some cities I have been In. You might be able to find even In our own city spots where wicked ness and vice were Just as flagrant as they are In Ban Francisco and you might find In Ban Francisco men Just as noble and good aa there are anywhere on earth. It Is not entirely or us to say Just what the reason was. Of course the scientists tell us superficially, but still you ask why has Ood so formed tha world that this thing could happen The esrthquake may have come to this city as a lesson, but we cannot dogmatize upon that. We should not draw Inferences because we have not all the facts. They are In the mind of Ood. But we can draw certain lessons (ran the catastrophe. Wo can realise how Insignificant man Is beside Ood and how unstable are the things of this world. But the greatest lesson for us la that in this world Ood will speak and Ood will be heard by the sons of men. When Ood speaks by events and disasters then men begin to think, to Inquire and sometimes to seek Him. This great calamity may have been In tended to prepare the world for the cam paign of evangelization that la being con ducted by those eminent divines, Torrey and Alexander."

Thus far his new guardians have been able to keep him entertained among strange faces and sur roundlngs. Coroner Bralley has received a number of letters from persons through' out the state offering and begging to take the lad. They have read of the sad case 0f the orphaned boy and wish to furnish him the home he haa lost. Nothing further has been heard from the uncle. James Hogan ,of Sawyer's Bar.

The piece hns been before the public continuously for a year and a half, and It Is quit aa much of a success today aa it was ai m first. The only changes of note In the original cast are the substitution of Bobby Barry for George M. Cohan and of Miss Stella Tracy for Ethel Levy, and by that same token neither of the suc cessors has any occasion to apologise to the original. The piece I a pleasing mixture of melodrama and farce set to 1 music. It nartakes of the element of all In a combination such aa to mak. It entirely unique ana enjoyaDie. juiumjr Jones Is a Jockey who is accused In England by an American gambler of be ing crooked. He Is ruled oft the English turf. Tho gambler Is a partner In a Chinese lottery In San Francisco and Is trying to marry a wealthy widow, who happens to be aunt to the girl Johnny Jones hopes to marry. Johnny's name Is cleared, the gambler Is thwarted and all ends happily. But the proceedings par take of that peculiar dash and awing that characterize the Cohan productions, and the stage is busy all the time. If it Isn't chorus singing or marching. In some entirely new groupings, and with splendid lighting effects, it Is two or three or only one, singing, talking or doing some stunt to occupy the time and furnish real fun. The songs' are many and moat of them well known, so they were wel comed last night like old friends. Bobby Barry, the Johnny Jonea of the company, is a diminutive little chap, whose only fault m-ema to be that he too closely copies tho original of the part. Mr. Barry has a talent of his own or he wouldn't be able to do George Cohan so exactly on the stage. Stella Tracy, the soubrette. Is Just as cute as cute can be and carries herself with a most pronounced swagger. She gives evidence of ability to sing and ought to be permitted to do so. Instead of being confined to the limitations of Ethel Levy' voice. But these are not the only ones In the company, not by a good deal. Tom 1-ewls Is doing stunts that mark him as T in in uuiii. piuiua iwa.v iiim fc linn the real hit of the performance. In the character of the Unknown he wander, in character of the Unknown he wander in an apparently aimless way through the action of the first two acts, carrying still" Jag and saying funny things In a droll way. In the last act he turns up as th detective who runs the vllllans to earth. Then, Sam Ryan, as Timothy D.

If they could do so well when tired and famished for food, what will they do tonight, they have had a sleep and something to eat? It's worth while to go and see. A large audience waited patiently until 9:35 last night for the rising of th cur tain, the delay being due to the non- arrival of the Rock Island from Denver, The performance rewarded al for the wait. It Is not only a sftrlghtly performance, but each of the three acts Is beautifully staged and some novel effect, are offered in each. iuo piei'o win ire preeemea again lonignt and Tuesday night.

Five impressive and entirely different stage settings are used, and be side th full strength of th stock com pany the service of a large number of other persons are enlisted. The play was made out of F. Marlon Crawford' novel for the use of Viola AI- central Ami re. Mlsa Lang srracea the nart exceedingly well, throwing a wealth of youth and spirits Into the lighter passage and intense passion tn tha stronger scenes. Her appeal to the nobles of the court to save her lover, Don John, from th men dacity of King Philip II of Spain was quite a triumph Of feminine eloquence and sug gested possibilities in this youug actrei of a Portia of more than passing Interest. Mr. Davtes la strong as King Philip: In fact, his characterization Is one of th best thing, he has dona here. Another role call ing for extraordinary effort 1 that of Adonis, the court fool, and In It MY. Simp son display considerable capacity tn por traying that eccentric character. Miss Da vis is an appealing Ines, the blind sister of Dolnrea, and Miss Hill Is excellent as Princess Ebull, the vllllaness of the story. Mr. Owen returned to the company as Cardinal Luis after several weeks' absence and received a warm welcome. Mr. Long appears in the cost. Mr. Morrison as the Don John does pleaMng work. I O T il the Km g. Two big audiences greeted the opening of Kolb and Dili In "I O V at the Krug Sunduy afternoon and evening. The two audiences had a good time and It Is likely the five other gatherings which will see this show durtng it stay win hav no complaint to mak ts to the amount of fun dished out. lfofb snd Dill are Ger man comedians. On ts long and slim "like a string besn" snfl the other Is short and round "like a squash" and each li getting more so each day, so they accuse each other. Add to these two four young men who can sing, for a male quartet, two or three "leaders" of both ' sexes, about as many more for specialties, and a lot of good looking and shapely women, and you have something that will entertain an audience at the Krug all day, if there is only the smallest amount of ability. But make the proposition still better with plenty of good Jokes, good voices, ability, pretty scenery, catch songB, laugh pro ducing sltuatlnm and you are giving "bang up good" show, better than th av erage. And that' what "I O U" li "bang up" good show, with a great deal of that which create an appetite. Beside Kolb and Dill themselves, a mechanical doll and an Irish comedian, a feature Jjwevif particular mention j th New Zealand Maori danre which I worth seeing. But then. It Is not the only thing. Th show will star at the Knig until Wednneday night with matinee Tueedny nd Wednesday. The Tuesday matinee, of rhlch annonncement was made at the Sunday performances, ts special and sud denly decided upon after a conference be tieeen the management and Mayor Zlm- man for the Ban Francisco Relief associa tion. The proceeds of this performance will go Into the relief fund. The company Is from Ban Francisco and will donate Its services for the occasion with unwonted vim. VaadeTllle at the Crelgltton-Orpaenm. Th bill at the Crelghton-Orpheum this week makes good in all particulars. The leading feature, probably, la the one-act comedy put on by Mr. McCarthy and Miss Wolcott, "The Race Tout s Dream." This haa been Improved In many ways since seen here before and is now one of the real successes of vaudeville. Mr. McCarthy ia a good comedian and Miss Wolcott is a splendid second for him. The novelty of the bill Is Bandor' "circus," in which dogs, made up to represent horses and other animals, do a variety of things, re producing features of a circus performance very naturally: Caprice. Lynn and Fay are three girls who sing a little and dance a good deal, and do It all well, so well that they quickly establish themselves .with the local public Mary K. Hill sings some good parodies and tells a few good Jokes, and generally pleases. Stanley and Wilson pre sent a novelty in the musical line that Is worth listening to. Dan Sherman and Mabel D Forest do a burteeque on a naval battle, 'The Fall of Poor Arthur," that Is very laughable. Clifford and Burke, al ways popular In Omaha, have added some new aances io xneir collection. The pictures ar good. TWO MEDIUMS UNDER ARREST Action Taken on Charge of Swindling Mad ky the Chicago Police. TTpon request of the Chicago police, the Omaha department Sunday night placed under arrest James Francis McKenna, of several aliases, and Lillian O'Har.i, a!ias Mrs. Lillian Far re! I, who posed as tho man' wife. The two are what Is de scribed in their literature about themselves trance etemper medium," but the designa tion used ny tne cold-blooded Chicago au thoritles Is plain grafters and high class swindlers. Their rude accusation Is based upon a statement of a woman In that city who assert she was drained of her earthly possessions, consisting of Jewelry and cash advanced. In all amounting to 11.000. She said the man and woman were training her for work on the stage as a medium, pre dicting wondrous success for her, but when they found her funds were running low they suddenly left th city. All of the Jewelry described In the letter from the Chicago police except a pair of earrings was recovered by the Omaha Dollce. The couple came to ihls city from Lincoln.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OSADA Pulpits Discuss the Great Disaster tt 8 in Fr&nnisoo. DONATIONS LIKELY TO REACH $6,000 Only On Arrest Snnday for Drnnken. ness and Lid Is Reported to Hav Been Down Tight All Over Town. Th principal topic In South Omaha Is still th fate of San Francisco and meas ure for relief have been going en snd con tinued In the majority of the churches In the city yesterday. In most of them spe cial sermons were delivered by the pastors, taking all views of the subject, from mere pity and commiseration to the Judgment of God. After these Bcrmons the people were asked to contribute .what they felt able to the relief fund and the result was flattering. The First Methodist church and Sunday school gave 126.26; the First Presbyterian church at the morning serv ice gave $30 and 'more will be reported by the trusteea this morning, for a nuinger of persons handed them money at the evening service; St. Martin's Episcopal church gave ' $20 and St. Agne. Catholic church gave $20. The total ts therefore close to $100, which will be turned over to the cltlxens' committee this morning. There were several of the churches which took collections, which gave no report of the same last night. Two of the committees of solicitors for relief have not reported to the treasurer as yet. Dr. F. M. Slsson and F. J. Fret tag, however, sent In a statement to the Bee last night which showed they bad collected $310 Saturday morning. The work will likely be continued during the early part of th week. John Flynn and his associate member of the committee have not completed their part of the work far enough to make a report. The total amount collected as estimated from the actual figures and the amount In Immediate prospect will be $i,M0 easily. When tho committees have done their work the total will press the $,0f0 mark. Nothing has touched the hearts of the peoplo as this calamity In the west. The donations In South Omaha have poured In Ilk water, no grudging, half-hearted giv ing. Ill on Tight. There was only one drunken man arrested In South Omaha yesterday. Hla name was Mortlson snd he got his liquor outside of the city limits, where there was one sa loon which Is said to have done a thriving business. In the city of South Omaha, however, the lid was tighter than ever before. The police were unable to detect a place which was transgressing the law by having open doors. Several of the Sa loon cases In which the keepers have been detected will be tried during the coming week. The Board of Fire and Police Com missioner. Is anxious that all these cases be disposed of before It Is required to pass on the question of granting the licenses. In fact. It Is well understood, that the board will not grant licenses to any party who Is under trial before the court. The first meeting of the board for the consid eration of the liquor license, will be Wednesday of this week. The board I very anxious that the city council should accept the new fire hall at thl session so that it can be occupied by th fire department. The owner, of the present hall, which Is leased by the city, are asking for their building that It may b removed and space cleared for a new brick structure. Made City. Gossip. Jesse W.

Invalid, nerv ous, "run -down," over-worked women. Many yers ago. Dr. Pierce discovered that chemically pure glycerine, of proper strength. Is a far better solvent snd pre servative of the medicinal principles found in our Indigenous, or native, medi cinal plants, than Is Alcohol. liollevlng, as he does, that the use of alcohol, even In small portions. If long continued, works great harm to th human system, he determined not to employ this com monly used agent in making his modi rlnes, but to use pure, triple -rnflned glycerine tnstoad. Now, glycerine Is not only perfectly harmless but possesses Intrinsic medicinal properties, being a most valuable demulcent, solvent, nu tritive, anti-septic and antl-ferment. Klnc they .re non-alcoholic. Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines briong all by them telvf. They are neither patent nor secret medicines.

Yon will find that two of the prominent Ingre dients of the"Uolden Medical Discovery" are recommended bv the medical writers of all the several schools of practice for the cure of diseases of the mucous suf. faces, as catarrh of tho naal passages, of tho stomach and bowels. Including ulceration of the same. You will find these agents also spoken of as the bt of remedies for all cases of atonic dys pepsia, that is dyspepsia dependent upon weakness of the stomach Itself tnnitru lar weakness; also, for kidney and blad der diseases. Several of the Ingredients entering Into the "(Jolden Medical Discovery," vi : Queen's root, Hlack Cherrybark, Stone root and Hloodroot are highly recom mended for chronic, or lingering coughs, and for all chronic, bronchial and laryn geal, or throat affections. In fact, some of the writers go so far as to state that the active medicinal principle contained In Queen's root alone will cure bad caws of bronchitis. Is it not reasonable then to expect much In the way of curative results from a compound containing not on but fmir Ingredient, each of which has a reputation for curing bronchial and throat affections accompanied w ith ob stinate cough? Observation, however, leads the makers of this famous medi cine to recommend the "Discovery" for chronir or lingering coughs, rather than for acute colds and coughs. In tho latter case It is generally not quite "loosening." or expectorant enough unless mucilage of slippery elm, flax seed or Gum Arable lie drank freely at same time it is being used, but when the cough has passed its acute stage, if still persistant, the'Dis--covery" will prove a sovereign remedy for Its control.
