ROAD TO HELL BLOCKADED
Dr. Torrey Shows How it ii Both Possible
I and Easy to Avoid It.
ACCEPT CHRIST AND HIS SALVATION
Portion of Audience Rliiac to Ills
ttnery Indicates Evangelist Had
Little Unrepentant Material
to Work Upon
in
Despite the eager, nipping air of Thursday
Bight and mercury fluctuating about the
ero point, something over 8,000 people as
sembled at the Auditorium to hear the con
tinuation of Dr. Torrey's discourse on helU
The particular phase of the question treated
upon at this meeting was how God has
blockaded, the way to hell. Upon the con
clusion of his discourse he pleaded with
those who wished to turn from the tortuous
road placed for the unrepentant to accept
Christ as their Lord and Master. But three
of the great audience responded to the Invi
tation, but that was compensated for by
the confession of nearly the entire audience
in rising that they had already accepted
Christ. "There are enough of you who have
made this confession," said Dr. Torrey, "to
convert 6,000 people In Omaha to God's
cause If your confession Is true. The Inac
tive Christian Is a gre.-Ker menace to God's
cause than the rumseller. Card parties have
ent more people to hell than all the rum
Sellers, and are doing more to hinder God's
work than Intemperance."
The service closed with a solo by Mr.
, Butler, "Beloved, It Was for You."
None Meed Perish.
In the sermon of the evening Dr. Torrey
aid: "The lord Is not willing that any one
should perish. There Is no need for any one
to perish. God does not want any man or
woman to go to hell. He is doing every
thing to lead men to repentance. We often
hear of new schemes of salvation for heal
ing sin-sick sinners while they continue In
sin. If a man will continue to sin he must
perish forever. The Christian life Is not
so hard a life as It is pictured. But the
way of the transgressor Is extremely hard.
God has made the pathway of sin ex
tremely rugged and filled with thorns. It is
filled with obstacles piled mountain high.
He- has blockaded the road to hell so high
that you cannot get over it without run
ning God's blockade. The first and great
est of these blockades is the Bible. It was
created to make men weary of sin. That
Is why some people hate the Bible. Some
say they hate the Bible because of the
filthy stories it contains. It Is not the
stories that are filthy, but it is their filthy
lives that are shown to them that discon
certs them. Ingersoll said that he disliked
the Bible because Its obscene stories were
without humor. The Bible pictures sin to
make you hate sin. The Bible is not a com
pilation of humor. It is the light that shows
the way to God. God hath said, 'Him that
cometh to Me I will In nowise cast out.'
"Another obstacle God has placed In the
path of sin Is a good mother's teachings
and Influence. Through her His holy life
looms up before you. God grant that It
may do It tonight. If you are In trouble
remember to go to God. Turn out of the
path that leads to hell.
City Full of Sin-Sick People.
"Another obstacle In the path of sin Is the
teaching and Influence of Sunday fcliool
teachers. Another Is the kindly act on the
part of a Christian. Omaha Is full of sin
sick people, of people In trouble and dis
tress who sorely need a kind word and a
helping hand. Go out on your highways
and byways and help these people and God
will help y"ou. Still another obstacle In the

pathway of sin Is Providential Interfer
ence. It was a Providential cause that
made Luther turn from a wayward life to
later evangelize the world. God In many,
many ways seeks to turn you from the
path of hell. Another obstacle In that
rugged road Is God's Holy Spirit. The
Spirit of God can accomplish wonders un
told, and will come to you but for the ask

you to take it. The Holy Spirit Is mani

I0WAN RESISTS THIEVES
Corning- Man Polls Pistol When
Colored Itograes Rob Him of
Ills Money.
Many a man from low, has been robbed
by female colored crooks In their resorts
In Omaha, but many a day will pass be
fore Mary 8pnoer and her companions at
315 North Thirteenth street will undertake
to short change at least one citizen from
Iowa, according to asseverations which
Miss Spencer made at the police station
Friday morning.
The Iowan who has attained this Im
munity Is Dennis Sullivan of Corning, and
he Spencer woman and her associates In
sist that while the name "Dennis Sullivan"
Is not an uncommon one. there Is some
thing peculiarly striking In the appear
ance or manner of this Dennis Sullivan
that will serve to Impress his identity in
delibly on their minds.
After bclnfj robbed of $60 In the house
of Mary Spencer, Dennis Sullivan drew his
revolver and lined the occupants of the
house up against the wall and forced
them to disgorge a part of the stolen
money. When 128 of the money was re
turned to him Sullivan kept the thieves at
bay, awaiting the arrival of assistance,
but he was caught off his guard and the
weapon was wrenched from him by John
Wright. Sullivan was In turn held up by
the colored man and his two women con
federates, Mury Spencer and Nettle Miles,
4L'3 North Thirteenth street.
The entire quartet was later arrested
and a complaint tiled against the three
negroes charging them with larceny from
the person, while Sullivan Is held In the
matron's department at the city Jail as
the complaining witness.
Sullivan asserts he was robbed by Nettle
Miles, who gave $25 of the booty to the
Spencer woman. When he found he had
been touched he pulled his revolver and
held up the trio, but they proved too wily
and Wright obtained possession of the
weapon and also the $25 that had been re
turned to Sullivan at the point of his revolver.

Day by day railroads and some of their
patrons are attempting to solve the varie
gated problem of transportation put up to
them by congress during its last session.
The land agent proposition and the travel
ing man puzzle are two of the most difficult
conundrums.
The railroads, at least some of them, have
announced that aftor January 1 .they will
issue no permits to traveling salesmen to
ride on freight trains.
The local Jobbing world Is much perturbed
over the situation. Two or three houses
have applied at the railroad offices for per
mits for their salesmen for the new year
and have been refused. They say such ac
tion will Increase the expenses of their
travelers and compel them to put a larger
force on the road In order to cover their
territory. They talk of holding a meeting
to talk over plans' for putting their griev
ance before the Interstate Commerce com
mission. It Is on account of the laws passed at the
last session of congress that the railroads
have made the ruling. They hold they will
be amenable under the law If they allow
traveling men to ride on trains on which
the general public Is not permitted to ride,
since such a practice would be discrimi
nating In favor of a class. They propose to
be on the safe side and so hereafter will
allow salesmen to ride only on such freight
trains as are designated as "mixed," or
those calculated for the accommodation of
passengers as well as for hauling freight.
Roads Will Help Jobbers.
But the railroads propose to help the Job
bers as much as they can by Increasing the
number of mixed trains.
"We are compelled to comply with the
law," said C. E. 8 pens, general freight
agent of the Burlington. "We realize it will
work a hardship on the travelers and for
that reason we will extend the passenger
service to many trains on which the publlo
Is not now allowed to ride. We want to
offer the best service possible, though of
course there are some freight trains on
which we cannot take passengers. In ter
ritories where the passenger service Is lim
ited we will designate more trains as mixed
trains and thus care better for all passen
gers." Without permits to ride on all freight
trains, the traveling salesman will be able
to cover a leaser number of towns each
day, and the hire of livery rigs will In
crease his expenses.
Enstls and Ills Land Aceata.
Thirty of the leading land agent of the
west are meeting with P. 8. Eustls, passen
ger traffic director; L. W. Wakeley, general
passenger agent, and Assistant General
Passenger Agents Lalor and Buckingham
of the Burlington to consider some way
to continue the colonisation of the west.
In view of the decision of the Interstate
Commerce commission, which has cut off
the Issuance of free transportation to over
S&.bCO land agents In the west.
"The Interstate Commerce commission Is
going to insist on the enforcement of that
Uw," said P. B. Eustls. "and we have to
face the matter as It stands. The matter
of putting some of these men on the pay
roll of the companies In order to give
them transportation Is out of the question.
and some new scheme will have to be
worked out. I, myself, think It will work
all right and that legitimate land agents.
wro do the most good In bringing settlers
i the west, can ouatlnue la (lie business
and make more money than they did be
fore.
"One land agent in Texas figured out
that if he had paid railroad fare during
the last twelve months it would have cost
him $6,600. He expected to make on the
land he had handled during that time
$140,000. Supposing he had to pay his fare.
It would be but a small matter to him and
be probably would have made more, for
there wpuld be fewer men In the busi
ness to get the men away from him after
he hod taken them to a town to look at
land.
"The railroads will lend every assistance
possible In the way of advertising to pro
mote the western country until It Is better
settled, but Just how these land agents
will work Is a question they will have to
decide, and we are here now to talk the
matter over and see what will be done."

Mattle-Hayes of Charter Oak, la., has
brought suit In the Vnlted States circuit
court against J. P. Milligan, Mrs. J. P.
Mllllgnn, Isaac .Gentzer, Mrs. Isaac
Gentzer, Silas Hayes and Gus Wolf of
Cuming county for $15,000 damages, grow
ing out of a conspiracy to deprive her of

Th'e petition Is one of the strangest ever
presented In the United States courts. The
plaintiff alleges the defendants are con
spiring to cheat her out of her farm, lo
cated in Cuming county, Nebraska, and
that this conspiracy has been going on
since 1896, with the purpose to make her
execute a deed without consideration to
them for the farm.
About September, 1900, It Is alleged In the
petition, these defendants induced one
Phoenix Gallagher, by promises and deceit,
to enter the plaintiff's house In Cuming

ground, breaking three of her ribs and
otherwise Injuring her to the monetary
damage of 16,000, causing her to expend

HOW TO SEND FOREIGN GIFTS
Surveyor narrows Takes Oecaslon to
Instruct People on Christ
mas Deliveries.
B. H. Barrows, surveyor of customs, Is
besieged with inquiries every holiday sea
son from people who desire to send Christ
mas presents into foreign countries. Large
numbers of people desire to send presents
Into Canada and appear at the custom
house here In Omaha with full faith that
they can pay the Canadian Impost duty
here and have the Christmas gifts deliv
ered to their friends In Canada. The sur
veyor has been at considerable pains to
tell tho people the United States does not
collect duty for a foreign country, but all
seemingly to no avail, for the gift senders
appear regularly every year.
An easy solution which Is pointed out by
Surveyor Barrows Is that anyone deslrlnj
to send a Christmas gift to Canada, or even
the old country, may make use of any of
the various express companies that do busi
ness In such countries. They will under
take the Bale carrying of the parcel or
package, Instruct their agent at the point
of destination to pay the duty and send
back a bill for the amount of duty paid,
and all this can be done without the knowl
of the receiver of the present. It Is need
less to ssy that the custom house In this
city has no Jurisdiction, nor can It handle
the business in the manner above indicated,
and It is to be hoped at the federal building
persons desiring to forward Christmas gifts
Into any foreign country will take tho
course above outlined.
