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

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

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."

Johnnie does not as yet know his mother

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'

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

but this may be accounted for by the dif

Little Johnny Jones'
lated bow In Omaha last night and proved
that he is worth waiting for. 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

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

way of pleasing variety, the costume, and
usage, of the sixteenth century having
their own charm after a run of piece set
in modernity. 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

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. The
woman has a young daughter with her
and the Chicago woman also charge her
with having deserted her husband In Ohio

Th principal topic In South Omaha Is

tinued In the majority of the churches In
the city yesterday. In most of them spe

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

the trusteea this morning, for a nuinger
of persons handed them money at the

were several of the churches which took
collections, which gave no report of the

When tho committees have done their
work the total will press the $,0f0 mark.

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

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

AN IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
Likely to Revolutionize Pharmacy.
A HAfTT ColTBISaTtOlt
Of Just th right proportion of ach of
the roots of several Indigenous, or native,
medicinal plant, or rather of the active,
medicinal principles skillfully extracted
therefrom by the nw of chemically pure
glycerin of Just the right strength, con
stitutes Dr. Pierce's Favoritn I'rescrlp
tlon for the cure of weak. 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.

WHAT OTHERS SAT.
1 With Dr. Pierce's medicines you don't
have to pin your faith wholly to what
the manufacturer says of their curative
potency as with other medicines. Mer
cenary motive, the greed for monoy
gottlng, It Is feared, often lead men, and
women too, to put forth unreasonable
claims for their loudly praised but
many times nearly worthless compounds.
Especially should the afflicted beware of
the "Chean-John," free, give away, "trial
bottle "dodge. It don't pay to trifle with
one's health. It should be regarded as
too sacred to be experimented with.
Dr. Pierce's medicines have a record
of nearly forty years of curet behind
them, embracing many hundreds of thou
sands of bad cases restored to health
and happiness.

of the writers go so far as to state that
the active medicinal principle contained
In Queen's root alone will cure bad caws

to expect much In the way of curative

has a reputation for curing bronchial and

leads the makers of this famous medi
