DtPRECAUS ATTITUDE OF THE MAYOR
tar Way Should Bo
to Show Mr. Dahlmnn
' la Hot rnter Tbaa

"If Chief Donahue want! to stand by
tha law, let ua stand by him and endeavor
to find some way to impress our mayor
with the fact that he la not greater than
the laws of the state," said Rev. J. W.
Conley at the First Baptist church Sun
day morning. He was giving, as a ten
minute prelude to his sermon, some rea
sons why the saloons should be closed on
Sunday.
"The law of the commonwealth of Ne
braska plainly and unmistakably aaya the
saloon of Omaha shall be closed on Bun
day, and the mnyor la not mora powerful
than the law. Let us be law-abiding citl
lens and stop encouraging lawlessness by
our example.
"There has been a sense of satisfaction
tn the minds of good citizens that the sa
loons have been closed on the Lord's day
for a few weeks. These same minds now
feel a deep sense of humiliation and In
dignation at the attempt of the mayor to
open them again."
Aside from hla reference to tha law on
the subject, Mr. Conley gave a number
of other reasons for Sunday closing.
"Justice to other branches of trade de
mands It," he said. "Other business
houses are closed, and why should the sa
looni be allowed to keep open and get
the money which might otherwise go to
the stores? Mayor Dahlman says the sa
loons can't get money to pay their licenses
unless they are open Sundays. If that Is
true, then the fact that they do pay their
licenses by keeping open shows they are
getting money that ought to go to other
branches of business.
Will ItemOTe Temptation.
"Sunday closing takes temptation out of
the way of men when they are particularly
susceptible. Sunday Is a day of leisure.
Most men are puid Saturday night
Leisure, money - and open saloons offer
temptation. They say the saloon is the
, poor man's club. I say tha Sunday saloon
la the curse of the poor man's home.
"With, the saloons closed, Sunday police
work would be less. If, two policemen
could keep the lid on the others would
rest.
"Omaha has a reputation for Indulgence
In the lower vices of society, and anything
that would tend to change this reputation
would be a good thing for the city,
"To close the saloons Is to strengthen
the moral forces of our city. The schools,
churches. Juvenile courts and libraries are
all factors for the moral uplift of society.
But right across their path la flung the
counteracting and degrading Influence of
the Sunday saloon."
Dr. Conley followed this talk with a ser
mon on "Serious Omissions," contrasting
the Influence of a church of power with
that of tha church of form.
CHRIST WILL, SAVE FALLES MAS
Parable of Good Samaritan Ex
soaldtd by Dr. McBrlde.
Sunday evening at the Central United
Fresbyterlan church. Twenty-fourth and
Dodge, the pastor. Rev. R. B. A. McBrlde,
took for his theme "Help for the Man That
Is Down." His text was the parable of
the Good Samaritan. The speaker showed
that the parable was Christ's answer to
legalism. While the parable teaches un
selfish helpfulness. It is but the expression'
of the Christ's own life. He came to give
Himself for others, and that while the
others hated Him.
"The man who la down Is not always to
blame for his condition," said Rev. Mr,
McBrlde. "Look at the drunkard's family
tonight; poorly housed, poorly clothed,
poorly fed, robbed and wounded and half
Acad, like the man of the parable, and
whose fault Is It? Now as then, legalism
In the state and formalism In the church
prove powerless to help. The priest of
the parable had been at Jerusalem, prob
ably worshiping, possibly serving, but he
touid not help the poor wounded man. Tnat

was out of his line. That was quite bo
Death his dignity.
,rW'e church people get so busy attending
meetings that we have no time to help the
man who is down. A dead formalism has
do heart to help him.
"The Good Samaritan was hated by the
man who was hurt. So Is Jesus. The Good
Samaritan was under no obligation to help
the man who was down. Nor Is Christ.
The Good Samaritan exposed himself to
danger and fatigue and expense for the
sake of the man who was down. So did
Jesus. Men of our day will never act
the Good Samaritan until they catch the
spirit of the Good Samaritan, which Is the
spirit of the Christ.
"It Is a most remarkable misinterpreta
tion that makes this parable the base of
a gospel of salvation by works. There Is
not a hint of this In the parable. Indeed,
the parable is plainly called out In reply
to a legalist who was arguing for salva
tion by works. Jesus said to him: 'Be
perfect and live, but, if you have ever
fallen, I am come to save the man who
Is dowa.' Jesus will save the man who Is
down. Intellectually, physically, spiritually.
He will save him unto character and unto
heaven."
SALVATIO aiPREMK ATTAIXMEST
Better Than Health, Wealth or Wis
dom, Says President Wndsworth.
President Guy W. Wadaworth of Bellevue
college preached at the First Presbyterian
church last evening, taking his text from
Psalms xxxll:l. "Blessed Is he whose trans
gression Is forgiven, whose sin is covered."
"A strictly liberal translation of the
original of this verse," said the speaker,
"is 'Oh, tha blessedness of him whose
transgression is forgiven, whose sin Is cov
ered." The psalmist knew what he was
talking about when he made this utter
ance. His soul was bubbling over with the
Joy of sin forgiven. He had tasted the
bitterness of alienation from the God he
loved and when he wrote this verse he
was feeling the blessedness of having his
transgression forgiven, his sin covered and
himself restored to favor.
"Health, ' wealth and wisdom, according
to an old proverb, are the most desirable
things in life. But these are of little value.
Health is a good thing, but it Is not worth
a whole lifetime of endeavor. I am not a
decrier of wealth, for I see, every day,
beautiful thdngs that are produced by
wealth, but wealth Is a poor thing to have
foremost In our thoughts. A definition of
money which took a prise in a news
paper competition was this: .'Money is the
thing which will buy its owner everything
but happiness, and will admit him to every
place except heaven.' It is a very good
definition, too.
"Wisdom Is a very desirable thing, but
It does not fill the measure of human
wants. Socrates said: 1 know enough to
know that I do not know everything.' The
generality of mankind know less than
Socrates, but many of them think wisdom
Is the supremely desirable thing.
"The twentieth century will never get
beyond the ten 'commandments of God.
Neither will the twenty-first, twenty
second, nor any of the succeeding centuries
or ages. Sin is the same today as it has
ever been and there 1s only one way to
escape It, and that Is to trust In Him
who has made propitiation for It.
Sin la all around us, but often we are
unconscious of It. An Englishman of ec
centric tastes bought a cobra, the fangs
of which ' had been removed. He kept it
as' a pet In his home for months. He was
Ignorant f tha . fact that the serpent's
fangs would grow again tn three months.
Fortunately his pet dog was the victim
that provoked the cobra to anger. It bit
the dog, causing almost instant death. So
It Is with people In the world. And the
more Indifferent we are to the sin sur
rounding us, the more easily we will be
tripped up by It, The only help lies In
Chrlsf
-A GENIAL PHILOSOPHER."
An
Interesting Story Small
Boost
Attractively Illustrated.
Among booklets recently published, the
one that seems to be the most deserving
of praise for Its fund of general Informs
tton, conciseness and attractiveness, along
the lines of Its subject, has Just been pub
lished by the Val Blati Brewing company
of Milwaukee. The work Is so refreshingly
devoid of all of the conventional earmarks
of commercialism, that it 1 not only
worthy of the reading, but of more than
passing comment
The work treats of beer as a factor in
practical temperance, and in dietetics, and
shows that beer, as brewed nowadays.
should not be classed tn the same category
with distilled liquors.
It Is a peculiar fact that the same peo
ple who refrain from drinking beer on ac
count of the supposed amount of alcohol
It contains, are frequently those who think
nothing of drinking elder, which contains
twice the amount.
Mr. Glenny, the company's advertising
manager who wrote and planned "A Genial
Philosopher," states that copies will be
mailed to those aemnng same, on appuca
tion to the main office of the company, or
to any of Us numerous branches.

I1ARLES MORGAN MEMORIAL
Yoinc Ken's Christian Atsooiation Eodcii
the Dead Lawyer
WAS DIRECTOR OF THE ORGANIZATION
Trtbate Paid by Jobs Whnrton,
Robert Cowell and Isaae Car
eater, and Reeolatloas
Adopted.
The Lytic theater was filled Sunday
afternoon at 4 o'clock with members and
friends of the Toung Men's Christian as
sociation and friends of the late Charles
E. Morgan, to participate In the memorial
services In honor of Mr. Morgan, who died
December 3U The services were held under
the auspices of the association and were
presided over by Prof. W. M. Davidson.
The members of the board of directors of
the association occupied seats on the stage.
The program opened with the hymn, "My
Faith Looks Up to Thee," the congrega
tion participating. Prayer was offered by
Rev. B. R. Curry of Calvary Baptist
church, following which Frank O. New
lean sang "Crossing the Bar,"
John C. Wharton, a law partner of Mr.
Morgan, delivered an eloquent eulogy upon
the professional life of the dead man.
Robert Cowell paid a glowing and elo
quent tribute to "Mr. Morgan In Civil
Life." He spoke of his association with
Mr. Morgan for four years. He said in
part: "There was nothing mean In this
man's life. He did not prate of bis religion,
he lived the life. He did the manly part
of whatever came to his hand. I never
knew him to say an unkind word of man
or woman. I have wondered why so useful
man should have been stricken down.
Tet his life was not lived in vain. I ap
peal to young men to enter the arena of
politics with the motives that actuated
Mr. Morgan. His life gives the denial to
the often repeated assertion that no man
can enter politics and escape corruption.
Politics was purified by the presence of
such men as Mr. Morgan. He was an
honor to anything and everything he under
took, and we honor ourselves and our city
by honoring him."
His Christina Life.
I. W. Carpenter spoke of Mr. Morgan
as a Christian, and related many interest
ing and pathetic Incidents of his career,
which were elaborately set forth In the
report of the committee on resolutions.
"Mr. Morgan, In his upright Christian
life," he aald, "typified the life of Jesus
Christ more than any man I have ever
known. He gave cheerfully and sys
tematically of his Income to the work of
the church and Young Men's Christian as
sociation, which was followed by other
members of the association and the citizens
of Omaha. Shortly before his death I
visited him and, being then sightless and
speechless, he wrote on his tablet direc
tions for his funeral services. He bore
his sufferings with patient and heroic
Christian fortitude, but he wrote me that
day on the tablet, and It is Indicative of
his. pure character: 'It has been a long
time, but I thank God for It all.' "
George G. Wallace, chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions, presented the report
of the committee as an expression of the
appreciation of the board of directors of
the Toung Men's Christian association of
Omaha upon the life and character of Mr.
Morgan.
The resolutions embraced a touchtng
tribute to the high Christian character of
Mr. Morgan and the valued services he
had given the association both as a di
rector, official and member. Tribute was
also paid him as a worker in the church
and Sunday school, concluding with an
appeal to, the young men of Omaha to live
up to the resolution of this hour, in the
memory of one so worthy.
The report of the committee was adopted
unanimously by a standing vote, with the
further recommendation that the report be
placed on the permanent records of the
association.
The audience remained standing while
Mr. Frank O. Newlean sang "One Sweetly
Solemn Thought." The services closed with
prayer, by Rev. B. F. Fellman of Grace
Baptist church.
WOMAN SICK AND STARVING
Fonnd Suffering; fron Pnenmonla In
Bare Shanty Wlthont Food
and Heat.
Suffering with pneumonia, and having
had no food or heat for four days, Mrs.
Anna Smith, an aged colored woman, was
found Sunday afternoon by S. P. Morris,
superintendent of Associated Charities, In
a bare shack near the alley at Thirteenth
and Chicago streets. Police Surgeon Harris
was called and had the women taken to
the city Jail, where she was placed In the
matron's department and given medical
attention. She probably will be taken to
the county hospital Monday morning.
The woman was found lying on a dilapi
dated mattress placed on a small Iron cot,
which was the only piece of furniture In
the hoveL The floors were bare and Ut
tered with dirt and rubbish, while there
had been no fire In the place during Its
occupancy by the woman. Mrs. Smith
had supported herself by doing little odd
Jobs, but was taken sick last Wednesday
and had no place to go, so crept Into the
shanty for shelter, the door being open and
the house without tenants.
There she has remained for four daye
without heat of any sort and with only an
occasional scrap of food. Saturday she
had a little tea and a bit of bread given
her by a neighbor, which was her sole
sustenance since she consumed a loaf of
bread which she bought last Thursday.
The woman cannot tell her age, but says
she has three children, the oldest of which
was 11 years, when the civil war was ended.
She has no relatives In Omaha and la with
out friends In the city.

IT USED TO BE DIFFERENT
Easy Victory ef Morris Brown Con
trasted with Contest of Pad
dock and Thayer.
Several men were casually discussing the
election of Norris Brown to the I'nlted
States senate in the federal building
Wednesday and one of them remarked
the ease with which Senator Brown gained
the toga, without having to suffer the
anxieties of an acrimonious and stren
uous campaign. Judge Munger, who was
one of the party, and who before his ele
vation to the United States bench had
something more or less to do with the
democratic history of Nebraska, remarked:
"It wasn't always that way. A sena
torial contest down at Lincoln was once
the signal for drawing the foremost poli
ticians of the state there, regardless of
politic. The two saddest things that I
ever saw were the outcome of a senatorial
contest. The first was when A. S. Paddock
defeated General John M. Thayer for the
senate In 1871. General Thayer's heart was
set on a re-election, and when he was de
feated by the Gage county man the old
general seemed to be completely broken
hearted. I felt deeply sorry for htm, but
condolences would not comfort him, and
I do not think that he ever did get com
pletely over the defeat. He felt that his
services as a soldier entitled him to better
treatment, and aside from that the defeat
seemed to take all the ambition out of him.
The next case was when Paddock him
self was defeated for election a third term
In 1893. Paddock thought he was sure of
election, but some of his warmest friends
thought that he had been pretty well taken
care of and were not as ardent In his sup
port as he thought they should be. He was
defeated, you remember, by W. V. Allen,
though had It not been for Paddock's can
didacy then, it Is very probable that John
M. Thurston would have been elected. I
saw Paddock Just after the election, and
he was bitterly sore and disappointed, more
so, I think, than Thayer was twenty-two
years before. Paddock had at this time
already served two terms in tha senate,
having beaten Van Wyck In 1887. and was
at this time a candid it j for re-election.
Paddock went home broken-hearted and
completely dispirited. ' It was his last ap
pearance on the stage of Nebraska politics.
Both Thayer and Paddock are dead now,
and I do not think that either of them
ever completely recovered from their de
feat,
"The troubles of a postmaster are not
confined alone to answering Inquiries com
ing In the usual line of postofflce work,"
said Postmaster H. E. Palmer, "but re
quests are made at the office for almost
every conceivable purpose. Then, again,
we are expected to render all sorts of
service. Here Is a letter, for Instance, that
I have Just received, in which an old vet
eran of 74 years Who has mlBsed out in the
pension department wants me to get his
pension raised from $12 to $34. I shall do
what I can for the old comrade, but am
a little dubious about any success."
ON PROFITABLE ADVERTISING
Booklet Issued by Locnl Concern
Gives Words of Wisdom oa
Subject.
"What is Profitable Advertising?" Is the
title of a neat, . Instructive booklet Just
Issued by Charlea.R. Ferrall of Charles
D. Thompson Advertising agency of Omaha.
It contains morete,d space to the square
Inch than anything , of the kind that has
appeared recently. - A fair sample of Its
merit Is afforded, by the following words
of wisdom, which make the opening para
graphs: Profitable advertising Is obtaining a maxi
mum of result at a minimum of cost
In other words It is not enough to merely
have the goods' but rather, the ability to
place them before the public In an at
tractive way the way that sells them. An
old proverb says; "One good dog can drive
a wnoie nock or sneep. a aosen poor
dogs could not. . Bo It is with your ad
vertising. One good advertisement will
draw a large flock of results, and a poor
one is worse than none. It may be that
the copy Is weak; It may be a poor selec
tion of mediums In which It Is placed
those without "pulling" power; It may be
poor type work, or any one of a doxen
things, for the advertiser to And the cause
by experience Is both a waste of time and
money.
Advertising pleasing to the eye and com
bined with common sens talk Is the kind
that brings results and enlarges sales.

WILL DISCUSS DRY FARMING
ten from All Over Country to Attend
Denver (k nereis.
NEBRASKA TO SEND HUNDRED DELEGATES
Projects of Vast Importance to Entire
Conntry May Reenlt from Two
Days' Session Thnrnday
and Friday.
When the Transmlssouri Dry Farming
Congress is called to order In Denver next
Thursday morning. January 14. the roster
of delegates will contain the name of al
most every man In America who Is an
authority on agricultural subjects. No
convention ever held In the west has at
tracted such widespread Interest and en
thusiasm as Is now attending this, and
the Indications are that projects of vast
Importance, not only to the west, but to
the prosperity of the entire country, will
result from the two days' session.
No less than twelve experts from the
Department of Agriculture at Washington
will be present. Every governor west of
the Missouri river will either be present In
person or by special representative. Every
agricultural college and state university
In the sixteen states that were Included In
the call sent out by Governor McDonald of
Colorado will have Its men on the ground,
and In addition there will be present hun
dreds of plain farmers from all parts of
the west, men who have successfully prac
ticed dry land agriculture on their own
farms for decades and who have evolved
for themselves methods for the successful
handling of land In the seml-arld districts.
The Importance of the new movement
which will be brought to a head In the
Dry Farming Congress next week, cannot
be overestimated. But one acre tn ten of
farm land in the whole country west of the
98th meridian can ever be Irrigated, and
the remainder must, because of slight
rainfall, look for Its redemption entirely
to some method of scientific agriculture.
Within the last decade the spread of the
so-called Campbell system, more commonly
known as "dry farming," has convinced
the thinking men of the country that In
some such means as this lies the agricul
tural salvation of the west, and It Is now
proposed to start a broad Interstate move
ment, In which every state affected shall
take part, to further develop these soil
culture systems and bring them to the at
tention of the world at large.
Experts to Be Present.
At the meeting next week It Is expected
that a permanent organization will be ef
fected which shall carry on the work to
be outlined for the future development and
settlement of the semi-arid west. Among
the notable experts to be present are Glf
ford Plnchot, United States forester; Mark
Carleton, United States cereallst, who In
troduced durum wheat Into America; E.
C. Chllcott, In charge of all government
dry farm work In the country; El wood
Mead, chief of the bureau of Irrigation
and drainage Investigations; T. H. Kear
ney of the bureau of plant industry, who
Introduced the date palm Into Arizona
a..d thereby opened a new and most profit
able Industry; Dr. L. J. Briggs, physicist
of the bureau of soils; Carl F, Kellerman,
soil bacteriologist, and W. T. Swingle of
the division of plant life history, all of
Washington; George T. Nicholson, third
vice president, and Wesley Merritt, indus
trial commissioner of the Santa Fe syaem;
Secretary Coburn of the Kansas State
Board of Agriculture; E. A. Burnett, E.
G. Montgomery and W. P. Snyder of the
University of Nebraska; Prof. 1 P. O.
Holden, the noted corn expert of Iowa;
Governor Frank Franti of , Oklahoma;
Governor Hagerman of New Mexico; Gov
ernor Brooks of Wyoming; Governor Cut
ler of Utah; Prof. H. W. Campbell of
Lincoln, Neb.; Editor John Fields of Okla
homa City; Colonel William Irish of Ban
Francisco; E. J. Wlckson, dean of the
University of California, and a score of
other men of national note on agricultural
subjects. No such array of men who know
has ever been gathered together ' In the
west, even at a session of the National
Irrigation congress.
Nebraska to Send Hundred.
Representation at the congress will be
by appointment. Nebraska, Kansas, Okla
homa and the Dakotas, the moat eastern
states Included In the call, have twenty
delegates each, apointed by the governor.
Each city of the first class is entitled to
ten delegates and ach county to a similar
number to be appointed by the county com
missioners. Reports already received at
Denver from Nebraska and Kansas show
that not less than 100 delegates will be
present from each of those states, while
nearly as many will come from Oklahoma.
The total attendance la expeoted to ex
ceed 1,000 persons. A universal railroad
rate of one fare for the round trip, en
couraging a large attendance.

SUSPECT IN THE SWEATBOX
Police Will Look Into Record of Mnn
Who Snya He Killed Miss
Rnmmethnrt. ,
Thorough Investigation will be made b
the Omaha police Into the movements of
the man arrested at South Omaha Satur
day, who asserts he Is the person who
killed Josephine Rummelhart at Twenty
sixth and Dodge streets last October. Csp
tnln Mostyn, with Detectives Drummy and
Maloney, went to South Omaha Saturday
evening and the prisoner was taken before
them for a lengthy questioning. Captain
Mostyn conducted the examination, and ac
cording to the fellow's statements he
worked In Colorado and Wyoming most of
Inst year.
The prisoner said he had used several
names In traveling about, I Stelner, Louis
Thlebaud. De Bolt and other such names
being among them. After having talked
with him a while Mostyn recognized him
as the man who was arrested In Omaha
about two years ago charged with having
snatched a woman's pocketbook. Patrol
man Dillon caught a fellow who was
struggling with a woman for tho possession
of her handbag. He gave the name of
George Sttnovy. Ho was acquitted by a
Jury on the plea that he was running to
catch a car at the time and the officer
took him for the thief. Thiehaud, which
name seems to fit him best from his
nationality and appearance, admitted he
Is Sanovy.
During his recital of his comings and
goings since then, he talked rationally and
like other men, but when the matter of his
arrest In South Omaha and the murder of
Miss Rummelhart were mentioned he
changed Individualities and talked as a man
whose mind is shattered morally. That he
ts degenerated to an exceedingly low de
gree was plainly apparent when he was al
lowed to ramble In his talk along subjects
which seemed to be favorite with him. The
taking of human life would be merely an
Incident to such a person and would even
be Justifiable in his mind were his designs
to be forwarded.
Captain Mostyn took notes of the man's
wanderings and attempts to verify his
statements will be made Immediately. In
telling where he had worked, he said he
was at Fort Collins, Colo., the forepart of
October, which Is the time Miss Rummel
hart was murdered. When Mostyn first
csked him about Miss Rummelhart he said
he knew no more than anyone else does
