I look forward to a new age for the united churches." Krng 'Corn Invaded the Dulnlts of the First Methodist. Central United Presby- erian and AH Saints Episcopal churches Sunday morn In jr. and the ministers, taking th National Corn exposmoa as their sub Jcts, drew excellent lessons from the big show lessons for the righteous living of man, lessons teaching the way to obtain everlasting life. At all services special music was riven by th choirs. Taking- for his text th 11th verse of the Ith chapter of the Acts: "This Is the stone Vhlch was set at naught of you builders which Is become the head of the comer," Dr. Loveland, speaking of "Modern Mir' cles," cited a number of miracles of Christ and then Went on to show that Just' as wonderful miracles are being made to day, though the natural .law is not being violated the same as when Christ was on earth. "Marconi's marvelous dwtcovery of a na tural law made possible one of the greatest miracles of modi-rn time, and Edison's 1.000 discoveries of natural laws has made possible an equal number of modern mira cles," said Dr. Loveland. "But Marconll and Edison are not the only miracle workers of today, for th man who makes two ear of' corn grow where one grew before Is working a miracle, only we do not gener ally consider It so. But the scientist who knows how to make two ears of corn grow where one crew before, or who knows how to get sixty-five bushels of the yel low grain where he got but forty before must know the breeding Influences of the field of corn. So. with life. Man must know the breeding Influences of humanity, and aa the com scientist plants his feet firmly on cause and effect, we must plant our feet firmly on Ood's laws amd live straightforward, honest and upright lives to Inherit that eternal life for which the Master lived and died on Calvary." Lesson front the Parable. Dr. McBrlde drew the lessons for his sermon from the parable found In the 12th chapter of St. Luke, of the rich man who owned a piece of land which brought forth bountifully and to auch an ex tent that the owner had not room In which to store all his frulta. He then decided to tear down his bsrns. build greater and store by enough fruits to Isst him th rest of his days when he would take his ease, eat, drink and be merry. "But God said unto him, Thou fool this night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided? So is h who Iaveth up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God." 'The whole city is interested In th Corn show and It is right that we should be interested In It and right that the ex position should bo encouraged," said Dr. McBrlde. "We come here recognizing th power of King Corn and his worth, and It Is well to recognise the Industry of man In the preparation and the harvesting of this wonderful crop. It Is well to pile up statistical figure regarding It and well that we should accord to It Its high place among- other cereals. Tet this Corn show ought to be a great object lesson to as of T3od goodness and' mercy.' To Ears of Corn Text. Canon Mackay preached from a coupl of ears of corn, one a magnificent ear with a thousand kernels and the other nubbin with hardly anything but husks and took no Bible text. He opened with telling something o th exposition and of the wonderful poaalbllitles that lie In an ear of corn and of the greater possibilities that lie in the fruits, flowers and cereaur of the earth when selection Is made. "The men behind the National Corn ex position are atrivlng for the Ideal corn, the Ideal fruit, the ideal grains. Why not go after the Ideal man and strive to make humanity come up to the same standard of perfection required In bringing out what is best In the fruits of the earth?" the rector, "we breed corn much more carefully than we breed men, but if the same law was maintained in breeding men what a race we would have!" DCTCHEJVS FAREWELL SETtMOX Preaches It la Konntse Memorial Latheraa Charrh. Rev. 8. D. Dutcher, D. D., retiring pastor of First .Chrlatisn church, who goes to Terre Haute. Ind., to become pastor of a hurrh. rre.iched his farewell sermon Sun day night at Kountxe Memorial Lutheran church. He aelected that pulpit because of the fast friendship that has existed be- ween him and Rev. ?. E. Hummon, pastor of Kountse Memorial church. Right Living; Why?" was th text of Dr. Dutcher's sermon. The tex. Hebrew Jl IMS. "Make strslght paths for pur feet, etc." 'Why should man live straight? Because Jesus showed the way," said Dr. Dutcher God Indeed made It possible. Environment does not make a perfect character, but God's grace dees. It is sufficient snd no ex cuse Is admissible for a failure. All life per' petuntea Itself in death. Geology finds the foot-print In the rock aad to It the bird Is bullded. In the depths are fossils that were burled In long lost ages and we know about them. The good live after their flight Into eternity. If Phillips Brook and Theodore Parker and your love, Martin Luther, had never written a line, yet the lives they led stamped an eternity of In fluence on the world and so their lives can never dfe. If every one who has passed from death Into life, lived the simple perfect life of the true follower of Chirst, evil would soon b well nigh banished from the land. We ought to live better lives than our sainted fathers because living at our best Is a still nobler, more expansive life and so It la duty to live such an existence as was planned by GVxl, taught by Jesus and exemplified by the master, our exemplar. CHt'RCH Vf IO 19 PHOMOTEII NEW PASTOR AT FIRST CHRISTIAN Dr. J. M. Kersey of Parsons, Kaa., Preaches First Sermon. Rev. J. M. Kersey, D. D., of Parsons, Kan., to whom has been extended a call to the pastorate of First Christian church, occupied the pulpit of that church Sunday morning for the first time. He sp ke from the text John xxv:9, "Whereas I was blind. now I see." Speaking of the remarkable significance that centers around every apoken word of Jesus Christ, and how those words hav been tbo Inspiration of every moral and religious impulse for twenty centuries, In creasing In vehemence as the centuries roll by. Dr. Kersey said In part: Men have r.sen In various stages of the world like a star Illuminating th firm arhent for a brief period and then vanished, But the illuminating power of Jesus Christ grows brighter with the years. "While He came to g:ve Joy to the world, He died, of a broken heart. The old Jew ah doctrine was that the Iniquities of t.ie fathers should be visited upon the children even to tho third and fourth generations. It wa Christ who taught that the law of God was of love and mercy. It was He who taught that somehow, sometime, man might wipe out the dark stages of his life. That men that were blind might be made to see. "God never made a cripple or caused man to be born blind. Deformity cornea from some transgression of the laW of the Lord. God answers all inf.delity by Hi works. Mountains of unbelief cannot pre vail against 'God's truths. 1 The unbeliever Is like unto "-one who la asleep. The time will -come when hi sleeping soul will b awakened to the glory of God' grace and mercy. "We are prone to accuse the devil of things that wo ourselves are responsible for. The work of Ood are manifest la us and about us and we have hut awaken to receive them and enjoy their fullness. We cannot get rid of the spirit of God's love and mercy, for It abldeth with us forever." AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Number of Minor Offenders Keen Police Busy All Eight. FIVE AUSTEIAK3 ARE HELD TJP Five Masked Men Take ftO from Party at Laborers Green's Car Robbed of Fonr Boxes of Clarars. The later hours of Saturday night and during the hours after midnight Sunday morning were such as to mske the South Omaha police wish for a rest. There was fighting on th streets, robberies and re ported prowlers enojgh to keep the whole force on the Jump. The actual damage done, however, was slight and served mostly to fill ths Jail pretty full of petty offenders. Of most Importance was a holdup at 15! South Thirtieth street. Five Austrlans named Steve Hangrek. Tom Bergln, John Misiers, Vnton and Obat Risk, were held up by five men with masks and revolvers. It was a more formidable array than has appeared In South Omaha since the famous Flury holdup three years ago. The Aua trlans put up no resistance and lost a con siderable sum of money. The Austrlans usually carry their money In their pockets and seldom patronise the bsnks. They lost IK In all and would have lost over $150 If the holdup men had been careful In their search. They were able to give a slight description of the men, upon which the police are working. It Is the belief I that a crowd of young men, or perhaps' boys, have again concluded that they can be robbers and defy the law. The police officers, in discussing the case, said: "About every four or five years we have Just such a crowd of young fellows, who think they, above all others, are smart enough to do a highway business and es cape. We hoped that the lessons of the last two gangs In South Omaha would be well learned and last us through a dozen years, at least." George Green's Car Robbed. Burglars also broke Into George Green's car at Twenty-six and O streets and took six boxes of cigars. It Is thought to be th work of negroes. This Is the second time within a year that someone has robbed this car. It has caused great In dignation each time on account of the pub lic sympathy for Green, who Is trying by this humble means to make a living. Green was once a prosperous commission man and was Injured by a wild steer which charged him, and he fell from one of the fences In the yards. He has since been paralyzed. Attempt to Enter Saloon. The saloon of William Broderick was tampered with, but the Intruders failed to gain entrance there. They had taken all the putty off the windows and were In readiness, apparently, to remove the glass when something frightened them. This Is the explanation of their unfinished work. There was very little money In the place. Among the lesser thinga which kept the ponce busy was the fight on the atreets Walter Slezuenowsky. whose name doesn't sound much like It la spelled, and Charles H. Stacey tried to settle their differences In this manner. Stacey later caused the ar rest of his assailant. Two or three other fights and disturbances of the peace and several casea of intoxlcatkm made up the lengthy jail roster. , Maalc City Coealp. Modern corner cottage, ilst and J.

Wtf've Brent so many years supplying high-grade clothing to th men of the west, that we know Just what garments will fcest retain and increase our immense trade, and we want to impress on your mind that all of our clothing la made of first-class woolens, and Is hand-tailored. That word "hand-tailored" meana that this clothing Is made by far more skillful tailors than any made-to-order clothing. Another Important point too often Blighted by some makers Is the careful attention to details, auch as linings, trimmings, buttonholes, pockets, lapels, etc., etc. these little, but very necessary evidences of high clasi work manship, will all be found in the clothing we offer. , Then, too, our great volume of business enables us to quote prices in every instance 20 per cent to 25 per cent below all competitors, and quite often at an even greater saving. You'll make big wages for the time you spend in our store. Make us prove it.

"Other income" of tha Erie last year amounted to S2.7au.4e7, or approximately 1230.000 a month. Therefore, It Is evident in the first four months ot the year, tha Erie earned a surplus applicable- to fixed charges of between t&.ftA.CUO and Se.000.0u0. Tha fixed charges pro rated on this four months' period amount to fl.too.OOO, so that tha Brit, up to November 1, has earned Its entire fixed charges for four months of the year, together with the balance for the stock for'fl.BOO.OO. This Is earning a sur plus at the rate of about 6.500,000 a year over fixed charges. It is not probable that th's will be maintslned, but at any rate It shows the large underlying earning power of the Erie. The surplus earnings over the fixed charges for the first four months, amounting to $1,300.00, Is suffi cient of Itself to pay more than 3 per'cent of the first preferred stock for an entire year. This situation In the earnings of the Erie Is not understood In Wall street or In financial circles. Nobody has been sup posing for a minute that the Erie has been earning Its fixed charges. But the fact remains that in four months of the year It has earned Its fixed charges with $1,500.0(4 to spare. The strange part of It Is that this showing has been made with a compar atively smalt reduction In maintenance. While the detailed figures for the Erie system ae -not at hand, we have details for practically SK p. r cent of ths entire system. These show that In four months of the ', year gross earnings decreased 11.626,543, also , that maintenance of way decreased $&5, .07 J, and maintenance of equipment de creased $317,90. These are very small de creases inasmuch as the maintenance of the Erie showed an lncpease last year over I the previous year of more than $3.ouu,0u0, notwithstanding that the Erie suffered se verely from the panic, and Its gross earn ings underwent a large decline. In the first four months ot this year the i trainc, transportation and general ex i penses declined $."04.7:0. This is the vital ' and healthful change In the operat.ng flg 1 ures of the Erie. I The opeiaiing alatf of the Erie are en titled to much credit for the showing which they are making in the present fiscal var. 1 Few will Question the statement that the large Increases in Erie freight business In October Is owing. In considerable part, to the Influence of E. II. Harrtman. If the present situation is maintained Mr. Ilarri man's action in coming to the relief of the Erie after all Its old friends left It out In the cold will receive vindication sooner than was first supposed.
