IGNORANT BELIEF A PRESENT MENACE NfT, Dr. Mail Dlaniiirtra on the rrd f I-Mlrnt Uesllna With Thoas Wh IKvr ot et Set- the I.Uht. In the chump "f his discourse at Unity rliurrli Sunday morning- Kev. Newton M. Mnnn snld: "If there Is ixtiI to hear with the eons of men. there 1 Ht Wast equal need to bear with their prejudices and their superstl iliii. .As tin' world has son this has been tin- tum-n (lifliruli appll'-Htlon of the virtue to make. Irstrnngi' to miy, religion has gen erally hern more of a hindrance than a In Ip at thin point. From the day the fhiisijan church laid its crurl hand on Jlypatla to U.e ramwiorf of Bt. Bartholo mew's day. hlfhnp and priests could look leniently enough upon vice, but had no lulrrmiir for what seemed tt thpm to bp heresy. We can well understand from what wp sec going on now that It must always have 1ppii a' trial to persons of fahly sound sense to observe thp vagaries which u certain class of minds arp forrvrr running Into. It Is not to be, wondered that In the nges when authority in religion went for far more than It dors now, there should have been no disposition to bear with eccentricities of faith such as ae rprltiging up unmolested In thp modern world. The patience of the most inoffen Hivu man among us is not a little taxed when compelled to listen to the super stitious fancies, ihe Incredible nonsense, which In many places passes for religion. .Superstition .ot Kaall)- I prooted. 'Hut, after all, (he superstitions of the wi.rld are only other marks of human liallty, marks which. If they have disap peared from us. may appear again on our hilurcn. Ttv y arc as thoroughly Ingrained u.h kJii ilM'If, and come down to us as the in 'j lids which ghostly Terror burnt Into th H'.'.n. of our savago ancestry thousands upon thousands of years ago. It needs to be p atent with our poor humanity bearing tho cui.t of this miserable heritage. AVe long to see the world coming to Its spiritual senses, but that cannot lie as yet; thoso Metises have hern too long and too hope lessly muddled. "Ho there is nothing for It again but to wait and hope and strive,, with no great expectations for better things. We cannot turn the world over of a sudden, and If we could It would not be particularly im proved the other side up. The end we see is far off, and we must content ourselves with bringing slight increments to be slowly built into the temple that Is to be. "Hope for the Improvement of mankind lias changed Its ground. Nature's own slow process of growth Is the one now chiefly relied oil. We trust In nature and edu cation, rather than In conversion; In gen eral progressive tendencies rather than in any sudden upheaval; In a gradual evolu tion of the kingdom of heaven in the hearts of men rather than in an external hli'Rdom heralded by the coming of, the King In tin- clouds of heaven with power und great glory." ' t'l.AMIS tIF TI1K STRWtiKH OX AM. .ot t hm-lty. lut'Out. to Art in Time to help. Rev. Newman Hall Burdlck of the Sec ond I'resby tcrian church spoke Sunday morning fiom tho text. John xl, K. His Ihrme was "The Claim of the Stranger." lie Illustrated the claim of the stranger In the uot of Christ at the tomb of Laxarus, when Christ said: "Because of the people that stand by I spoke." Said Dr. Bur dick: "I would substitute the word 'claim' for 'chnrily.' in that It is not charity, but re sponse to the claims of those about us that demand our consideration. It is not a charity to respond to these claims, but a duty. Christ rccognlaed the claims of the stranger, when He said: 'It is because of the p. oplo that stand by, I spoke." He recognized the necessity of conceding to their claims upon Him, as well aa those of the chosen circle of His friends that stood by when He called forth Lazarus from the tomb. Grief, love and prosperity are the prolific and essential sources of selllshness. Kven in Christ's great grief lie thought, of other. This was demon strated with the thief on the cross, when Christ, though suffering the greatest of spiritual and mortal agony, thought of the penitent thief and said to him: 'This day shall thou be with me In paradise.' "Our first mission Is to the one who stands by. Is it not too often true that thv church of God is forgetful of the claims of the Ktrangvr? If there is need to re spond to the claims of the strangvr we have no right to ask any other question. To follow Christ Is our duty. Christ did not forg.n the. Jew, His mortal enemy, lu tho midst of His tenderest grief. Ws must not suffer ourselves to be guided by our prejudice. Christ's recognition of the claims of the stranger was as broad as His Illimitable love. 'Buffer little children to come unto me,' He said, and It was again inunJfrHt in the feeding of the multitude. AVhcrr'r there Is need, though it be on The Dutch Always Pay The North Crerman Fire Insurance Co. of New York City has had its secretary on the ground in San Fran cisco for two weeks, and he reports its net losses not,to exceed $175,000, all of which will he paid without touch ing the funds of the company. He also represents the Security of Baltimore, and reports net! losses less than $100,000, every dollar of which will be" promptly paid. The company paid much larger losses in the Baltimora fire, and made an increase of over $L'00,(K0 the same year. The vice president informs us "It will promptly pay its San Francisco losses and go on uninterruptedly doing business." The German National of Chicago is owned by the German of Freeport, and ev?ry policy has the written guarantee of the "German" on it. These companies have combined assets of $8,000,000 and combined losses will not exceed $2,XXy)00. All losses of the German National will be paid without touching a dollar of the company's funds. The Transatlantic of Hamburg, Germany, is a very rich German company and advises us "all losses will be paid from the European office," leaving its funds in this country untouched. We represent the above four German companies, all of whose losses,, we are advised, will be promptly paid, and they will continue doing business as if nothing had happened. A policy in any of these German companies is as good as any written. STAY WITH THE DUTCH. W. R. HOMAN & SON, 1517 Farnam Street. OMAHA. a th other side of the world or rtwhre, there Is our opportunity. How nfteitf in our own 'mistaken wisdom hsve we forgot ten the claims nf Ihe stranger? tJod sees something In evpry human being, something worth redeeming. It wss the way that Christ took, and If He would win men we must not forget the claims of the stranger." OOD W MX AMWKR OIR I'HtlKHH Rev. J. K. Hammosi On the Belief la Snpnllratlon. "God Answering Prayer," was the sub ject of Rev. John E. Hummon's sermon at Kountxe Memorial church Sunday morning, and his text from Matthew: "Whatsoever ye shall ask In praypr believing ye shall receive." "The most precious things of God are to be had for the asking." said Mr. Ilummon. "We approach our human friends with timidity when we have something to ask of them, for we nre never quite sure whether or not they will look with favor upon our requests. Man Is changeable a creature of moods. We go to him, and in a certain mood he will refuse us a favor which in another mood snd at another time lie would gladly grant. It is not so with Ood. He is unchangeable, always kind and always ready to grant what we. ask In prayer, believing. "The condition to the answering of prayer is belief. Faith Is the arm which reachps out to God. It is faith which moves' man to praypr and God to answer prayer. We should pray for nothing In which wo do not expect an answpr to onr orayprs, and we have no right to ask Ood for anything we do not expect. We should have some thing definite In view and should pray ex pectantly. A fanner was told that God would answer prayer and hp proceeded to test the statement He got down on his knees and prayed long and with great fervor, asking God to move a stack of hay Into the barn that night. Then he went to bed and slept soundly. In thp morn ing when he awakened the first thing he did was to go to the window and look out at that stack of hay. It was where It stood the night before. 'There, Just' as I expected," he exclaimed. Too many people are like that farmer, praying for things they don't expect, and which will not be given to them. "God's power and willingness to answer prayer Is unlimited. His promise does not limit the field of the asking. Whether spiritual or material the things you ask for, Ood hears the petition and will re member It, In due time answorlng It. All we have to do is to have faith In His willingness and ability, faith in our own attitude and expectancy of results." Saturday afternoon next "The Sunbeams" entertain the church and Thursday evening. May 17, Prof. Cook's adult Bible class gives a public reception entertainment with re freshments to the church Sunday school and friends.

An elderly man and his wife, refugees from San Francisco, where they had lost everything In the recent earthquake and fire, reached Omaha Saturday night full of sorrow and tribulation. The relief tents had disappeared and the couple, being strangers in the city, did not know where to go. They finally wound up at the post office and told their tale of woe to Watch man Shugart, and asked if they could not put up there for the night. Tills, of course, being against the rule, Mr. Shugart under took to take up a small collection for them to relieve their immediate necessities and succeeded In raising 13.50. After a while word was finally gotten to the chairman of the Associated Charities and the couple sras sent to the I'nion hotel at the expense of the association over Sunday, when their want will be looked after further.

WOULD NOT COMPROMISE WITH WRONG Inswervlaa Oevotloa to His Ideals, With Iadastr, the Secret nf HI Snceess at Hab Iob.' Chancellor K. Benjamin Andrews of the University of Nebraska occupied the pul pit at the First Baptist church Sunday morning and spoke on the life of Daniel, drawing numerous lessons from the inci dents of his life. "The life of this old prophet was interesting." said Dr. An drews. "While a child he was taken captive In the holy land snd transported a slave to Babylon. He did all sorts of menial work, but did It so well that he soon rose to occupy all positions of trust, finally becoming, because of his expert ness In bookkeeping, a sort of accountant over foreign affairs. He had good blood in his veins. Jewish blood Is good blood. 1lie proportion of good people Is grester where there are Jews, and hss always been. Blood will tell, and If a man has good parentage we may expect much of him. Daniel did nothing to vitiate his blood.' . He was clean of mind and clean of body, and did not propose to pollute his body with the rich foods of his cap tors. Daniel Industrious and Honest. "Daniel was Industrious and did what he could In his way and did not try to pick his work, only Insisting It be honorable. They wero obliged to promote him. These pro motions made him hated by many. There are men In this day and age who have so much the spirit of the devil they hate fellowmen when they are promoted and they are not. Daniel was not of the same class. H was of the people of Judea. A slave of slaves. When the people found their returns were not so large because of the expert accounting of Daniel they determined to get rid of him. "It was one thing to decide to roll Dan let In the dust and another to do It. A smelling committee could find nothing on which to convict him, except that he wor shiped his Ood too well. They tried two foul means to put him down lies and flattery. An order was made to pray to the' king for thirty days. Here they thought they had Daniel In a hole, for he must stop praying to his Ood or die. Many men we know would have com promised to put off their prayers to their God for thirty days, raying the Bible does not say to pray every day. Borne would have compromised by praying In silence. Daniel did not brag nor compromise. He went Into his house and, his windows be ing open In his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times n day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. He gave thanks to God why? Because he had a religion worth living for and that ha had grit and backbone to live for It. Thrown the Den of I.lons. "Daniel was put In the lions' den. In modern times, both Daniel and the king would- have died before a court decision had been reached In such a case. Not so In that time. Daniel was guilty and he was sent to the lions' den. Justice is more often Impeded by modern delays than rectified. We might imagine Daniel as a great and good man with dauntless eyes, whom the lions did not dare to touch. 'The persecutors, when they found their schemes had worked, drank and de bauched for a whole night. In the morning they were Informed Daniel was free and they wera to be the victims. The lessons are that any man hard beset as Daniel was will please God. Any man hard beset as Daniel was and has faith Is sure to do a great stroke of good for the establish ment of the kingdom." OLLERMAN GETS HARD BUMP Voong Man Accused of Making; Goo Goo Ryes Wow Has Broken Nose and Other Things. P. Olleiamn, t2 North Seventeenth street, received a broken none and other bruises In an unusal manner about 9 o'clock Sunday evening. He was walking along Sixteenth street, between ouglaa and Farnam, when he passed a young man with two young women. After passing, the young man left Ills charges and fol lowed him, accusing him of making ey.is at one of the girls. Ollerman denied and there were warm words. Both men saw nothing but a flght would settle differ ences, so Hiey proceeded to Seventeenth and Farnam streets, where there were not so many people, to have it out. Tin the way, however, the strange young man, thinking, perhaps, that to get In the nrsl' blow would ensure his return to the waiting fair ones with a whole skin and unmarred features, suddenly turned and dealt Ollerman a blow which broke Ills nose. He also did a few more such rude things and then disappeared. Ollerman reported his experience to the poll e. giving a description of the pugilis tic Hwaln and also hud his wounds cared for by a surgeon. He was strong In hi denial to the -police that he made "goo goo" eyes at the fellow's girl, snd main tained lie did not deserve the treatment accorded lilm. Go to Sew York on tho Lehigh.

"You wsnt to keep your eye on the North riatte country." said Pat Duncan of the vicinity of Bridgeport, at the Kar bach. flunday. "The river Is higher now In that section than- for a long time, snd wst?r hss been tnrned Into all the lrrig-i-tlon ditches, which is sn assurance that the North Tlntte Is equal to all the de mands thst will be made on It for Irrlgs tlon purposes. The prospect for crops Is first -class, and Inquiries are constantly be ing made for lands at almost any price all up the valley. The story lias gotten out up there that the government Intends to abandon the canal project from Usysrd to Bridgeport because there have been ik few applies tlon for wster. If this Is true, the Ooshn Holes project will be taken up. However, there Is no definite assur ance that the Bayard snd Bridgeport canal will be abandoned, as some 40,ono acres nf ns good land as lays out of doors lies along thst canal route. The trouble seems to be that the people living along the pro posed canal route have not yet awakened to their opportunities, and an effort will be made to stir them up to their opportuni ties." Tew Wyotnlnar Railroad. "While In Buffalo the other day I hesrd that some of the Colorado & Southern sur veyors were in town." said another of the party, "and reported that the line had been run up to the top of Massacre hill and that they were now figuring on a way to get down Into the valley. The new road la a sure go and is going to be a big thins; for that part of the state. "The salt works that have bepn reoently established at Cambria will have a ft -paclty of fifty tons per dsy. The salt springs there yield about a pound of salt to the gallon of water. They are pro ducing only sack salt now and expect to Increase the capacity about SO per cent within the coming few months with an excellent qualjty of table salt." Tnlnable Find of Twngsten. 'There Is no end of excitement up about Shoshone. Wyo.. on account of the. recent discovery of a big lode of tungsten on Copper mountain." said Ed P. Farley of the Copper mountain district at the Hen shaw Sunday. "Tungsten Is an extremely rare and valuable element of the chromium group of metals and is found only In cer tain minerals, but. very rarely In the gold and copper bearing sections of the country. It Is generally isolated and Is a heavy, steel gray metal which Is very hard and infusible. When alloyed with steel In small quantities it greatly Increases Its hardness. The rare mineral has been lo cated on the No Name claim, and the lead, which is fourteen Inches In width, has been traced the entire length of this claim and two others. It lies within a few feet of a parallel vein of copper six feet In width. The samples of the ore are of the finest quality and the And is an extremely valuable one. The miners of the Copper mountain district have abandoned prospect ing for gold leads and are taking up claims In the vicinity of the tungsten find. A meeting of the miners of the district was called last Thursday for the purpose of establishing bylaws for I the district and the election of a recorder. . The new find Is about 1,500 feet . in length and is a veritable bonanta." Thorntopolla mm Health Resort. Several stockmen from the vicinity of Buffalo and Tharmopolis, Wyo., were at the Merchants hoel Sunday discussing matters up in th "pig Horn country'., and all were enthusiastic over the prospects for thst region. "Thermopolls Is going to push Hot, - SpringSj. 8. D., pretty closely ss a health resort yet." said one. "The Thermopolls hot spring hays always been thought to be possessed of better medicinal qualities than the South Dakota waters. About ten years ago one of the springs sank about ten feet, and since that time has been but a little bubbling pool. Now th water has coins to the surface and Is flowing from the opening. It Is believed by some of the scientists up there that the recent seismic disturbances along the Pa cific coast has something to do with It. The temperature of the springs has very ma terially increased and the Thermopolls folks are already figuring on a big hotel and bath bouses and such, aud that the local ity will yet become one of the great health resorts nf the mountains." Wyoming; Wool Clip. One of the Wyoming party who Is Inter ested in the sheep and wool business said: "The Impression is getting out among us up in that country that the wool buyers have gone into a combination to force down the price of Wyoming wool. About one half of the year's clip has already been sold, and the commission men seem de termined to get the rest of It at their own figure. If this supposition proves to be a fact the result will be that the State Wool Growers' association will organise an Inde pendent commission house and have all the wool consigned to it." Hunt for the Lost t'ahtn Mine. A. T. Bancroft, a "traveling man for a Bl. lula firm, was in the city Sunday on his return from Livingston, Mont., and tells of another stampede In that section for the "Lust Cabin" mine that has thrived In romance and story, throughout Montana and Wyoming for nearly forty years past. "The mine, you know." said Mr. Bancroft, "is said to have been one of fabulous rich ness and has caused a dosen different stampedes In Montana and Wyoming. The story now goes up al Livingston that the original chart which was drawn by a Crow hlef In 186d and given to a citizen of Boxe man, under prumiae that nu effort would he made to locate the mine, has been re suscitated snd an expedition is being organ ised at Livingston to go in search of the mine. The story of the Lost Cabin mine has been told again and again, and each time with more romantic and tragic trim mings, and now the story comes that a descendant of the man to whom the Crow chief gave his chart of the location of the mine Is said to hsve found It among some old papers supposed to be of no value. A number of Montana miners have been shown the chart and they believe that the document Is ihe original one. The party about to set out for the hunt of the mine consists of ten or a dozen experienced miners and prospectors, who know every foot of the country and are confident of finding the famed bonansa. It Is ssid to be located aomewhere about the headwaters of the Upper Yellowstone." THE I.AKR SHORE TO BOSTON. Very Low Rates. One fere, plus $1. for the round trip. Good going May 21 to June t.

X FORMER PASTORS OCCUPY THE PULPIT Dr. Warfleld and Dr. herrlll Tell of - What Has Reen Done and Rerall Incidents of the Progress. Memories of almost forty years were re called yesterdsy morning st the services st the First Congregational church, when Dr. A. F. PherrUl and Dr. F. A. Wsrfleld, the only two of the former pastors of tlie church living, spoke. The change that has tsken place in the congregation was shown by the fact that only five persons stood up when Dr. Sherrlll called for those who were present at the first service he held In Omaha In October, The addresses by the two former pastors took the place of the regulsr sermon. Dr. H. C. Herring spoke briefly of the past of the church and the outlook for the fu ture. He was followed by Dr. V'orfield. who said In part: "Two words have been spelled out to me clearly ss I listened to the sddresses dur ing this seml-centcnnlal celebration. The first word Is 'achievement.' I have thought of the remarkable achievement of the Con gregational church In Nebraska in the last fifty years. How It has touched this great western empire during thst time. "The other word spelled out to me was 'opportunity.' Achievement amounts to little unless It brings with It opportunity. The prosperity of the last fifty years has brought a responsibility, an opening op portunity that is yours. It Is a responsl blllty. that Is serious. There Is need for the rediscovery of the Sunday. I do not speak of Omaha only, btit of our whole country. Incidents of F.arly Ministry. Dt. Sherrlll In his talk grew reminiscent and called up many personal Incidents of His ministry here during the years follow ing I860. "I began my ministry in Omaha," he said, "and I had my early life experiences here. Here I formed my real friendships. In other places I have gotten along well and have had all the friends I deserved, but there la a saying 'There are no friends like old friends." . No friends are as dear to me as you people In Omaha. No church aa dear to me as this old First church." He said the First Congregational church had not become a large church because it had helped other churches In the city and the state and commended It for that policy. Ho called attention to the fact that It was the first church in the first city of the state and much Is expected of It. The first sermon he preached In Omaha, he said, was preached In the old Congrega tional church at Sixteenth and Farnam streets In October, 189. He spoke of a number of the former workers in the church by name and commended, them for the noble and untiring efforts for the better ment of the church. He also recalled the dedication of the next church at Sixteenth and Chicago streets. The Farnam street site was sold In the winter of 1869 to J. I. Redlck for 11,600 and the site on Chicago street purchased for $1,000. At the dedica tion this amount was raised and the church started out free of debt- B'RITH ABRAHAM CONVENTION Grand Mooter Max Stern and Other . Officers Inanlmonsly Renom inated. NEW, TORK, -May . The twentieth na tional convention of the Independent .Or der B'rith Abraham began here today with several hundred delegates In attendance. Nominations for the various offices were made during the day and will be voted on later. Grand Master Max Stern and other incumbents were renominated with out opposition. Samuel Weldorf, grand master of the old Order of B'rith Abraham, delivered an address, tn which he said two orders of B'rith Abraham are working together in harmony. He advocated making the orders truly Jewish and taking up all Jew ish movements wherever found. He de clared that this was the only way to In terest the young Jew. Ho concluded: "There are a few gentlemen down in Washington who think they represent all the Jews In this country and they go to the president and tell him so. And he thinks they do snd he gives them what ever they want. But no one asks your order, which represents 90,000 Jews in this country, what you think about It, because you don't ask yourselves.

Court of New York State, Agslnst tha Ladies' Home Journal,' A verdict hM been rendered in favor Of the plaintiff in tlie libel suit brought against the Ladies' Home Jonrnal (pub lished by the Curtis Publishing, Co.) by the World' Dispensary Medical Apso cigtion, of which Dr. R. V. l'iercp ii President. .'The suit wns for flW.OOO damages, nd was brought by Doctor Pierce against the Curtis Publishing Company,, for making false statements bout one of hie standard family medicines known as Ih-. l'tcrct'ti Fa vorite Prtxrription. In the May num ber of tho Ladies' Home Journal (1!M Mr. Edward Bok. the editor, stated that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Inscription contained alcohol and other harm ful ingredients, mid Dr. Tierce had in the action alleged that the defendant maliciously published this article con taining such false and defamatory mat ter. Dr. Pierce further claimed tliat no alcohol is, or ever was, contained in his "Favorite Prescription"; that said med icine was a vegetable preparation and contained no deleterious ingredients .whatever; that Mr. Bok s statement, pretending to give some of the ingredi- ents of said medicine, was wholly nnd absolutely false; and that, by means of the publication of the article" Dr. Tierce was injured in reputation ana good name and credit as a manufacturer, to the extent of $2iK),000, for which amount of damages lie brought suit. During the trial, the Vice-Tresident of the World's Dispensary Medical Asso ciation stated, that the ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription were extracted from the following native roots: Golden Seal, Blue Cohoch, . Lady's Slipper, Black Cohosh and Uni corn, by means of pure glycerine. He was asked how he knew, as a physician and experienced medical man, that the "Favorite Prescription" was a cure for the? diseases peculiar to women, such as lencorrhopa, amenorrhcea, dysmenor rhea, ante-version, retro-version, and he stated that ho knew such was the fact because of his professional ex perience and the many thousands of women whose ills had been cured by - this "Prescription." This experience was corroborated by the standard Med ical Authorities of the several schools of medicine endorsing the various in gredients in the strongest terms. The Vice-President, being asked to give au thorities as to the value of tho above . roots, read from the standnrd works, such as the United States Dispensatory; The American Dispensatorv ; Organic Medicines, by Grover Coe, M. D.; Ma teria Medica and Therapeutics, by Pro fessor Finley Ellingwooa of the Bennett Medical College of Chicago. From such authorities and his own professional experience he showed how the ingredients of this "Prescription" acted upon the female system, impart ing increased power to the heart's action, and tone to the nervous system, and detailed its remedial influence in disorders of the female organs. The retraction printed by the Curtis Publishing Company ftro months after the libelous statement appeared stated definitely that analyses had been made at their request and that the "Fa vorite Prescription" did not contain either alcohol, opium or digitalis.
