Unless men high in the councils of the German Baptist Brethren (Dunkards) and in a position to observe and understand the trend of senti ment In the church body are mistaken, a trhlsm of no little Import threatens to break out , in the conference now In progress at the fair groonds. While there are mutterlncs against several of the Iron clad dress rfciles of the sect, the attention of the church and the heated discussion will center In the growing Inclination of the girls to forsake the conventions! bonnet which the Dunkard women are required to wear for the more ornate hat of the lay women. The elders do not publicly sdmit that the discussion borders on general unrest or that It threatens the peace of the conference, but they do admit that church heads In certain Ohio communities, who are aaid to have relaxed their supervision of the girls In their charge, may be reprimanded. It la said that formal charges made be pre ferred against two churches In Ohio that may end In their withdrawal from the mother church, or In their expulsion there from unless their pledge Is given to carry out the laws of the organisation to the let ter.

SAYS HE BETRAYED THE PEOPLE Telia These Ha Haa Closed the Flood sates and The When They . Are Asleep Ha Empties . tha Claads. 1 . P-l-s-t fie on your Colonel Welsh! "No more rain," "clear weather now," "floodgates shut at last!'' These were the sweet-sounding promises msde to Omaha Monday by Its weather forecaster and Omaha took htm at his word. The day was bright and Pa Rourke went out to Vinton street snd celebrated it by defeating Chief Hole-tn-the-Bank Green, and when the sun set the sky wss an ssure blue and when nightfall came the stars twinkled and the heavens wera clear as crystal, and thei the good, trusting, credu lous people of Omaha simple in thutr faith laid them down to sleep. And then what? Scarce had night drawn her sable robe upon her then the good people of Omaha began to be betrayed, and by whom? In the darkiesa and stillness of "night, while the people slept, the plot waa laid and by whom? And when the hour for rising had come the rain also had come, and by whom? "Fair for Tuesday!" Bah! Waee la Verse. A person happening Into the fourth floor corridor of the federal building early Tues day morning near the weather bureau de partment might have heard this sweet re frain welling In mournful cadence from out the transom of Colonel Welsh's private Sanctorum: You havs hesrd of the woes, of the tears and the oaths, And the ktcka of the common man. That are poured In the ears with their griefs and the fears. Of the sturdy po-llce-man. But of these, forsooth, when you know the resl truth, " They are Joys of the Joyfullest plan. Could he but hear them, poured In the ear Of the patient weather man. (By tele phone). If he promises fair,- they're up In the air, And want to know If they can Go out on a hunt or some sporting stunt On the word of the weather man. Then should he make a trivial mistake. As humanity generally can; Of a minute or two when a deluge Is due, It Is woe for tha. weather man. He's supposed to control, and the weather out dole. When to use an umbrella or fan, And if he can't do it he'a made then to rue It, Is thst unfortunate weather man. The good colonel's life has become a burden. Tuesday morning he had scarcely got on the inside of his office than three clerka ran to Tiim with six telephone num bers apiece. , "Call this number; call that number," and so on, they went. The colonel began to call. Finally he threw up his hands In despair and then the vox popull broke loose on him. Talk about yoar telephone calls! Well. Colonel Welsh can tell you a story that's worth the while. And It's all because he made that prediction of "fair and no more rain." The colonel did his best, but ths rain had the cards stocked andj went him one better. River Is Doing; No Harm. "Nothing doing." Such is the from the Missouri river at this There waa a slight rise of three-tenths of a foot up to 7 o'clock Tuesday morning and the rise may continue during the day. It will be very Insignificant in any event. There Is a fall of four-teulha of a foot reported from Slpux City and a alight rise of two-tenths at Blair. The prospeo's ara for a ' perceptible . fall In the river here Wednesday. The present stage Is seven teen feet, stlU a foot below the flood staje. A little back water came into pjrl of East Omaha from Cut-Off lake, but no damage resulted. The rlyer Is s ill two feet below the danger line at East Omaha. "All the Nebraska branches of the Union Pacific which were out of commission be cause of heavy rains sre now in readiness for the running of trains, except the Picas antou branch, and that will be repaired to night or by Wednesday morning, "aald A. L. Mnhler, general manager of the Union Pa cific, Tuesday morning. "The water ia falling west of Lawrence, Kan., and this may be taken as au indica tion that the werst danger ia past in that section, The ruprrta from til over the sys tem this morning show that the Union Pa cific has suffered very little from high water." Reports of a cloudburst In East Omaha were rife Tuesday morning, but they wers without foundation. J. E. Larson, Chris Larson and P. Hendrlckson, all- living in the vicinity of Cut-Off lake and the Mis souri river, report that the rain Tuesday morning was heavy, but that there was nothifig approaching a cloudburst.

Near Berlin While Congregation It at Prayer. , BERLIN, June 9 An attempt was made today to burn down the eld St. Paul's Catholic church at Moabit, belonging to the Dominicans, which was crowded with people assembled to hear a sermon by the famous Dominican monk, Bonaventuri. About 1,800 persons were present, including more than 1,000 women and children, to hear the mass. While th congregation was kneeling in silent prayer aome one Informed Father Bonaventuri that the church was afire. Without informing the congregation, he coolly stepped over to the priest, who was celebrating the mass, and requested him to close the service. The priest left the altar and spoke to his six assistants and walked down the alale and whispered to the pew holders that an insignificant blase had broken out and, that they had better leave the building aa soon ss possible. By this time the entire root of the church wss a I mass of flames and the fire brigade was hurrying to the burning building. Those In the church not knowing the extent of the fire did not realise their danger and made their exit rapidly and in an orderly manner. When they reached the streets they found the firemen drawn up with laddera against the walls. The fire fighters discovered that nearly a dosen fire brands, aoaktd with petroleum, had been distributed about various parts of the roof. The flames were extinguished With difficulty after great damage bad been done. The police suspect a gang of In cendiaries who. It Is stated, set fire to the old Garrison church, which waa destroyed on April 14 last. The firemen declare tha) only the coolness of the clergy today prevented a great disaster. , Will Cars CoaeasBatloai. ' A. A. Herren. Finch.

Then, after all your trouble, the result is nothing like Van Camp's. Not because you don't know, but you lack the facilities. And you need more heat We Pay $2.50 We cottld buy beans as low as 30 cents per fbushel, yet ws pay 12.50 (or ours. Wa buy ours in Michigan, lor thero a certain soil, rkh in nitrogen, grows the best beans that we know. Our buyers select the choicest part of the crop. All the beans that we buy are picked over by hand, so that we get only the whitest, the plump est, the fullest grown. That Is why we pay $2.50. Yon can't get such beans not at one store in 'twenty. That is on reason why borne beans are sever so good as Van Camp's. M 1 vrncToturo SAIXZ Beans Beans, more .than any thin? "else, need to be factory cooked. It Is not merely a question of having them palatable. It is the vital need of making: them digestible. You can't break down the fibre of beans without a terrific heat. . This is how we do it: After boiling our beans in twek' waters we bake them. ' ' We bake the beans, the tomato sauce and the pork all together. Thus we get our delicious blend Our ovens are heated to 245 degrees, and the beans are baked 90 minutes. They are baked in live steam not in dry heat. That is why they don't scorch. In an oven heated to boiling point 212 degrees it would take you six hours to do what wo do in thore 90 minutes. When we are done, the beans are so mealy that they mash like potatoes. They are thoroughly digestible, for that fierce heat has broken the fibre down. Yet tha beans are whole, and you get the nutty J flavor which distinguishes Van Camp's. And the beans are sterilired; they re quire no preservative. They remain till you use them as fresh and as savory as when they come out of our ovens. . isa in Compare that with home cooking. ; You bake in dry heat because you haven the steam. The top beans are baked brown, but the beans in the center are ' , not even half baked. - j The heat of your oven is' insufficient,. That is why yon say beans are heavy.r You have simply failed to apply enough 4 heat to make them digestible. The tomato sauce, too, is not baked) Into the beans. '.!" After all your trouble, you have not ' dish that compares with Van Camp's. No such flavor or test, not nutty, not mealy. Yet it has cost you more than Van Camp's. . v fct '.1?'.-'-Aafe-.--.y-F ' . ...... w.-.? ?! 1.. . , vr.s : ' 7 Dont Buy the w ron eans There is a vast difference between one brand and another.' Try Van Camp's once on our say-so. Then let the beans themselves decide what brand you buy next '.H. . ''.;'"'; -ri "ftjC .',- ..7--..-,'. : i'J We Pay $3.45 We could buy tomato juice for 75c per barrel. Yet wapay $3.45 for just the ripe tomatoes used ! in a barrel of ours. Some.- tomato sauce Is made from tomatoes picked green, and ripened in shipment. But the sauce is, flat. ' Some Is made from scraps of a canning factory I the skins and the cuttings. But the sauce is not ricH. ' . X " Ours is made from full-ripe tomatoes, grown ' :lose to our kitchens, and ripened on the vines. We pick them just at the time when the juice reaches perfection. -We could buy catsup, ready-made, for exactly -, one-fifth what ours costs to makes But that super I lative cst which you get in Van Camp's would be lacking. We know better than anyone else how to prepare baked beltns. This is our specialty- our one claim to supremacy. We have spent 47 years in learning how to perfect it. i The result is, Van Camp's command, by several times over, the largest sale in the world. . ' - There are brands that cost less and no wonder. Beans can be bought for one-seventh what we pay. , Catsup is sold for one-fifth what ours costs. Despite their cheapness, your grocer -makes more on the cheap beans than he makes on Van Camp's. jjut you don't want them. They cost double their value. And think what you save, in the long run, by serving beans . that your people like. They will eat them more frequently. And no other food, when measured by nourishment, is nearly so cheap as beans. Beans are Nature's choicest food, when they are rightly cooked. They are 84 proteid, starch, sugar and nitrogen. . And those are the foods that we' need. They are even more nutritious than wheat. You eat them for luncheon, sometimes. But have you ever thought what a break fast dish they would make? And how nice they are served with ham? Van Camp's are convenient. If. yon keep a dozen cans in the house, you havs a meal always ready. And what dish is more appetizing what blend more tempt ing than pork and beans and tomato sauce, if they are right? . ' " That is why we say Van Camp's. One know their nutty flavor, their tang and their zest and you will eat beans mors frequently. ( . Don't judge by other brands. Learn from Van Camp's how really good baked beans can be. !, .,,-f Prices: 10c, 15c and 20c per can. You can get them without the tomato sauce, if you prefer. At your grocers.

And unless a saloon keener bas Implicit confidence lit Lis eui.tu)eea ie will hate to take his chance In allowing them to clean out on Sunday." In a letter submitted with a report of the recent grand Jury Judge Sears sug gested the co-operation of the city and county officials In a stricter enforcement of the laws regulating pawn shops, second hand stores and auction stores, the cleaning out asfar as possible of assignation houses from the residence districts, the refusal to grant liquor licenses In Hie proscribed district, the stopping df the sale of liquor In disorderly houses, the prosecution of men who live off fallen women and the stopping of displays and shows tending to herolze crimes and criminals.- The report and letter were placed on file.
