AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
first Church Dedicated with Joyous
Services. '
SHOWS SERVICE AND SACRIFICE
Rt. Dr. Wfceler aermoalaes am 4k
- Art of Keeping Yoansi by Hlh
Thlaklns; and Having Holi
ness tn the Heart.
The First Christian church of South
Omaha was dedicated, yesterday by serv
ices at three different hours during the
day. The service In the nfternoon was
the only one out of the usual hours. The
church Is a very neat stone edifice, lo
cated at Twenty-third and I streets. It
Is the product of about two years of
hard work and sacrifice on the part of
the members. They have been led In this
work by their psstor. F. T. Ray, who
came lo the city eighteen months ngo. At
that time the church had a struggling con
gregation of eighty members. The number
has been doubled since that time. The
church building as It stands today was the
ambition of the pastor ami It la such a
church as may Inspire Just gratification
on the part of the members.
At the morning service F. M. Rains of
Cincinnati delivered an address on the suc
cess of the enterprise. He called upon the
members to assist so that the t-hurch
might be dedicated with all obligations
subscribed. The members pledged 13.000 at
the morning service.
In the afternoon the chnrrh was open
to all In a congratulatory service. At thU
all the local pastors of the ProteAtant
faith were present and. expressed much
friendly praise for the happy results of
the efforts of the Christian congregation.
The remarks of the various pastors were
Vlef. At this service about f2S0 wag
ndded to the fund of the morning. Some
thing like was raised at the evening
service. This means thst the church will
be In easy financial circumstances. The
congregation, It la believed, will Immedi
ately increase to 300 or 400, making one of
the largest church societies of the city.
The conveniences of the new church are
fnny, It is thoroughly modern In all de
tails. The basement contains several rooms
and commodious parlors. The upper floor
contains the chapel and Sunday school
rooms, connected by a flexible Curtain.
The windows of the building are of
stained glass and several of them are me
morial gifts by the members and the so
cieties of the church. The donors of win
dows were: Mr. and Mrs. 8. C. Shrlgley,
In memory of their son, Clifton Bhrtgley.
Joseph Garlow, In memory of Mrs. Oar
low and Mrs. Carrie Oarlow-Conway ; Miss
Fannie Slabaugh's Sunday school class.
Mrs. Oeorge Mayfleld's class, Miss Nellie
Evans' class, the Willing Workers and the
pastor's gift by Mr. and Mrs. F. T. Ray.
All the windows are In keeping with the
general harmony and good taste of the
church.
Good ThonsThts Desirable.
Pr. R. U Wheeler preached a stirring
and practical sermon cn the art of keen
ing young at the Presbyterian church last
evening. Basing much of his argument on
the text, "Ai a man thinketh In- his heart
so Is he." he delivered an address on the
practical ways of retaining vigor. One of
the suggestions was that a clean, pure
faith was ever essential. After this moral
bearing. had been attained, the man would
succeed best who gave congtnnt and dally
direction to his thought along wholesome
lines. The man who simply: drifts without
purpose, who ceases to think l dead al
ready, dtad on hls'ffet. The "surest pre
ventative of the encroachment , of old age
Is for the young man or weman to set his
mbltlon on living to be loft Vars old and
never give up. Another most necessary
thing Is to cease to pamper the petty
pains and aches. Job said, "The thing
that I feared most Is come upon me." "Of
course it will." raid the doctor. "The way
to resist disease or decrepitude Is to cease
to fear their advance. Assert your de
termination to conquer and -you will con
quer. The Christian Scientist has one germ
of truth at least, that of the curative
principle of determined resistance."

The showery weather prevented a num
ber of the golf players from engaging in
the sport at the South Omaha Country
club yesterday afternoon. As It turned
out it was one of the best afternoons of
the season for comfortable play. Twenty
or more of the best players were out and
made the round of the course several times.
The scores were reported to Manager
Floyd Sherwood and will be so reported for
the next few weeks so that he may figure
out the handicaps for the first tourna
tner.ta The best score made veatordav
I , '
afternoon was by J. J. Fltxgerald on his
hagt time around the course. He made a
, , ,
score of 41 for the nine holes. Three holes
of the course were made In three strokes.
This Is considered a great score. The
course is still pretty rough And the haxards
are many. The greens are not yet In con
dition, but are gradually, being improved.
Floyd Sherwood made a real scratch
shot off the first tee Saturday afternoon.
He drove 36 yards and landed In the cup.
T. J. O'Nell claims he equalled that record
with the first shot he ever tried at a golf
ball, but has never done It since.

McKenna Uncovers
Plans for New
Dreadnoughts
Claims Proposed War Boat Will Be
Thirty Per Cent Better Than
Present Ships.
LONDON. May 24. Reginafd McKenna.
first lord of the admiralty. In replying
to criticisms on the naval policy of the
government, has said that the battleships
to be built under this year's program
would be at least 30 per cent superior to
their Immediate predecessors. In what
way that superiority Is" to be obtained has
not been entirely disclosed, but at least
two of the Improvements to be Introduced
are known. In the first place, the ten
and twelve-inch guns with which the
ships are to be equipped are to have
greater muzxle energy than those now In
use. These guns will be capable of de
veloping a muisle energy of 58,000-foot
tons compared with the energy of 47.000
foot tons of the guns of the Dreadnought.
In addition to this Increased power, all
the twelve-Inch guns of these new ships
may be fired on either side. For thU pur
pose the fleck erections have been reduced
to the minimum add tha two pairs of
guns placed In the center of the ship In
barbette on each wing, but arranged in
echelon, cap sweep through almost a com
plete circle and fire on the port or star
board side. The other three pairs of guns
will be mounted In barbettes In the center
line, one barbette being forward and two
aft. In one of the latter the guns will be
carried at a high elevation. This Is con
sidered an improvement on the arrange
ment of the big guns on the new American
ships. In the American ships the ten
primary guns can also be fired on either
broads'lde. but all the guns being placed
in the center line, the bow and stern fire
Is conlderably reduced, there being no
guns on the wing. Moreover, British ex
perts consider that the American system
makes It difficult to train all the guns at
an acute angle to the fore and afterllne of
the ship.
The new British vessels, two of which
are to be built In private yards and two
by the government, are to be fitted with
turbines to develop a speed of twenty-One
knots.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
PES MOINES, May 24.-4 Special. )-The
upreme cnurt of Ioa-a will be called upon
to decide the question of administration of
corporal punishment In public schools. Two
Pes Moines teachers recently beat a boy
until. he was black and blue. The boy's
father caused their arrest. Tha city sup
erintendent, whose salary was J.ist ralsi-d
by the board, announced tluit corporal pun-
shment Is Justifiable. In police- court Sat
urday Judge Steward held it was not
ustlfUble and fined the teachers. They at
once appealed to the . district court ana
said they would carry the question to the
highest court. The father Is equally de
termined. 8o the .supreme court will be.
called upon to pass upon the Justification
of beating'' children ' With fists and, rods.
The Mothers"; clubs throughout the state.
the members of which do not beat their
own children, will be Interested In watching
the developments of the case and the ulti
mate decision. It is generally conceded
among . club women ff Des Moines that
the uourt's .decision may have some ma
terial effect upon the attendance ot the
public schools. ... ' '
City f'onnclls Aaalons.
City council all over the slate are anx
ious about the new law passed by the
last assembly, and the office of the at
torney general is being flooded with let
ters of Inquiry as to whether of not under
the new 'aw they must publish In a news
paper a report of what the council proceed
ings were and pay for such. The two cities
tinder the Des Moines plan of gpvernment
are also nuch Interested. t'nder their
charter they must print reports of 'lie
count II proceedings for distribution and If
compelled tu, also pay for priming them
In newspapers It will put a double burden
upon them.
' Historical Building; Plans.
Completion of 'tire State Historical build
ing la one of the lmiaitanl matters that
must be taken care of by ihe U ard when
It meets June. 1. The last legislature ap
propriate a sum lo complete the building.
There must yet be installed marble Wains
coting and staircases. It Is probable the
board will advertise for bids for that work
fter a decision is reached ajB to what
kind of marble Is to be used. It Is not
expected that the $10,000 given by the legis
lature will much more than do this work
and the next general- assembly will be
asked for more to put on some finishing
touches. It Is the hope of members of the
board that the time Is not far distant
when the state will place in the wall niche
about the -corridors of the historical build
ing statues of prominent men in the up
building of the state. The oil painting gal
lery Is rapidly being filled with magnifi
cent pictures. Some high class statuary
In the commodious niches would add a
great deal to the appearance of the build
ing. Expert Mnch of Delegates.
It Is expected that the delegates named
by Governor Carroll to the International
Conference on State and Local taxation
In Louisville, Ky., September 21. will bring
back to 'Iowa some ldess with reference
to taxation, such as will be beneficial In
suggesting new laws to the next legisla
ture. The recent assembly dismissed taxa
tion to considerable extent, but failed to
pass any of the bills- IntrrtduYefl. 'They
turned down'' the freeing of mortgages
from taxation; the freeing of corporation
stocks In foreign corporations from taxa
tion, and the bill providing for a tax com
mission. The men selected by- the gov
ernor are Interested In the taxation ques
tion. ' Among those who will be one of
the keenest participants will be Frank G.
Pierce of Marshalltown, secretary of the
Iowa League of Municipalities. The other
members' are J. E. Jackson of Sioux City,
A. C. Savage of Adair, Charles McLean of
Dubuque, F. T. True of Council Bluffs and
Karl Johnson of Osage. It wllj be noticed
that Mr. SAvage Is a member of the senate
and Mr. Johnson of the house of the Iowa

Would Censor Papers.
An effort on the part of "The Greater
Pes Moines Committee" to establish a
censorship over the press In Pes Moines
has .been the cause of considerable com
ment the last few days. A few evenings
ago members of the editorial staffs on all
the local papers'" were Invited to r free
banquet of the'ctraimlttee. At the banquet
as members of the committee were some
of the big advertisers of the city and some
of the prominent business men. Their
presence might have been planned to give
weight to the request ' made. Then the
papers were appealed to to suppress all
news concerning quarrels at the city hall
under the Pes Moines plen of government,
corruptness of public officials, crimes by
prominent business men, etc. In fact, they
wanted only the good side of the capital
city portrsyed and the offenses of poli
ticians, buslneas men and the moneyed
class suppressed. The effort was a failure.
One paper learning of the nature tf th
banquet failed to send a representative
whereupon a committee called upon llie
editor and asked him to keep his paper
"clean" along the lines Indicated. Th
committee was told by this editor that his
paper was "clean" and that If the .-om-mlttee
would-look after cleaning up from
scandals the other papers whose editors
were members r-f the committee they would
do a good work.. ' The effort by an or
ganisation of capitalists to establish a
rensortbtn on the local . press Is belnti
widely discussed and Is. not . meeting w(iti
universal approval by those who nelleve In
the old principles of one law f ir poor-and
rich and a freedom of the press.

NEW YORK, May I4.--TWO hundred
thousand persons, according a estimates,
went down to Coney Island today to watch
the police clap on the lid, as threatened by
Mayor McClellan's recent declaration that
the Sunday closing law weuld ba, enforced.'
Those who expected a clash between the
law and the showmen were disappointed,
for no friction whatever occurred. All
amusement resorts ran as usual and "only "
six arrests were made during' the day.
Two of these were peddlers and two were
for violation ot the excise" laws. The gen
eral gayety of the Island was not disturbed,,
which leads to the belief that gambling
and questionable places alone are to b
molested.
Coney 'Island Is' hsppy and. predicts a
