Unjoylne; a quiet and peaceful retirement
after an sctlvp career ot forty-seven year
' In ministerial work. l)r. P. C. Johnson of
Tecumaeli, hai the love una1 appreciation
of thoiiHiinds of people in all part of Ne
braska fur his deep devotion, hi earnest
labors and tender ministrations since pio
neer days.
Dr. Johnson is the most traveled Metho
dist minlKtrr In the state and probably the
best known preacher within Its borders.
He has outlived all his companidns in the
frontier work, and Is now left to tell of
the hardships and struggles of the early
days In traveling over the great empire of
"western Nebraska. And yet, In contemplat
ing the past, Dr. Johnson finds great satis
faction and yaB:
"If I were a young man again I'd go
right over the same ground. Here I am
at the age of 74 years with scarcely a dol
lar In the world, but the consciousness of
having put forth my best efforts. I don't
regard that any profession in the world
today compares with the ministry, and It
requires the entire servico of man. The
minister ought not to shirk contact with
eny class of people, not even the criminal
class.
"The frontier days were the best of my
ministry and gave me the greatest satis
faction, and if I were' a young man I
would live them over again. I'd like to
come In contact with ranchmen, frontiers
men, miners, not with mollycoddles. Those
men out west have dealt with the hard,

seamy tide of life and they don't take
, any stock In sweet palaver and fine pre
tensions, but It Is what you are and what
you feel with them, and not What you pro
fess. I'lonrer Life Lively.
"Pioneer life was enlivened constantly
by all kinds of Incidents and experiences,
now the Jovial and funny and then the
sad and tragic, and you would get to touch
man on every side of his nature. But it
was delightful work, notwithstanding the
roughnoos of it and I always found the
people appreciative for anything I did for
them.
"In those days I never was refused enter
tainment at any table and never found
a sod house but where they could stow
me away somewhere at night. I've traveled
day and' night and In every method com
mon In those days except horseback; I've
slept on the floors of sod houses and In
cars, station houses and on trunks on rail
road platforms, and I've preached In every
kind of place on the frontier In groves,
empty More houses, sod houses, log houses,
tchool houses and many other places.
"I've been delayed by cyclones and bill
iards, encountered all kinds of weather
and battled against the elements. I've
pneached In the morning and then driven
twenty-five miles through a frigid atmos
phere to the next place and then been
ushered Into a small room heated by a red
hot stove arid literally packed with people.
The contrast between the temperature out
side and Inside was tremendous. I've
preached In a sod school house where there
were three tiers of seats, the first one be
ing on the floor, and made of wagon seats.
In those days every building would be
crammed with eager, attentive people.
Karly t'trratls Were l.una.
"When I was stationed at Grand Island
one of my appointments was 375 miles
' away. My district was composed of the
vast territory north of the Iups and
west of the east line of Holt county to the,
state line on the north and west. Then
lator I was sunt to Indlanola and had
about fifteen counties in the South Flatto
country. In 10 I was one of the five mln
tMters to organize the wont Nebraska mis
sion and In 15 when It was formed into a
conference, 1 was appointed Its first pre
siding elder, '
'There were about forty counties In the
conference then, equal In area to sixty or
mora of the average counties of toJay. As
presiding elder I had more or lews to do
with dedicating about fifteen churches and
In a number of counties I delivered th
tlrst Protectant sermon ever . preached
thero and dedicated the first church,
, "It was my privilege to train qultu a
number of young ministers and It gives irvrf
pleasure to know they are doing such
good work now. tkiine of those who la
bored under me were Dr. lien Wayward,
now superintendent of Methodist Kplscopal
missions In J'orto ltico) Hev, J. R. Getty,
present paalor at David Vity; Rev. K. N.
Or rill, presiding elder of the Ueaurlca dis
trict, and Hev. o. T. Moore, riastor at
Harvard, Neb.
"During my ministry i never look a reg
ular vacation. I was preaching, traveling,
visiting constantly, and Interspersed
among the other duties were marrying
scores of oouples, baptising many people,
ministering to the sick and preaching
funeral sernrons."
Walt la Urtsl City.
Dr. Johnson was born In Urooklyn, N, Y.,
In ISM. Ifls mother died In Is to and the
boy, who was left a waif In a great, city,
was sent to a New Jersey mountain farm,
where ha worked for his board and clothes.
In early manhood ha was a school (tauhr.
He was converted In November, isci, at a

being discharged then for wound received
in the seven days' fight
In i3 Dr. Johnson was licensed to ex
hort and In 1TO8 to preach. He went out
"under the elder" In June. 1887, was re
ceived on trial In M8S. was received In
full in 170 and has been In the effective
relation ever since. He Is a graduate of
Brush college, which was familiar to all
old-time Methodist preacher. For eight
years Dr. Johnson served churches In New
Jersey, at Heddlng, Good Luck, Navesink,
Waretown and Medford.
On March 11, 1878, Dr. Johnson arrived in
Tecumseh and the next day preached In
the Methodist church, which was on the
present site of Arnup's store. It waa a
rough-looking building with unattractive
interior and exterior, and the new pastor
from the east took for his text, "Kor w
look nut at the things which are seen, but
at the thing which are unseen." On ar
riving In Tecumseh Dr. Johnson inquired
for some of the Methodists and was di
rected to the home of the late Dr. C. K.
Chubbuck, wheso daughter, Miss Jennie C,
later became the wife of Dr. Johnson. The
former Chubbuck residence Is now the home
of the Johnsons.
Two fears in Omaha.
After eighteen months In Tecumseh Dr.
Johnson was trantferrcd to Omaha, where
he served two years, after which his ca
reer on the f i on tier began. .He remained
there until 188S and then returned to the
Nebraska conference. He held pastorates
at Oeceola, Friend, Table Hock, Chester,
Ohlowa and Holniesvilla, and was then
chaplain of the Nebraska penitentiary for
four and a half years, retiring In July,
1W. He will probably superannuate at the
next conference. Dr. Johnson received the
degree of doctor of divinity from Mallalleu
college at Hartley In ISM. He ha been
twice delegate from Nebraska to the gen
eral conference of the Methodist church.
Ha Is a prominent member of the Masons,
Oud Fellows and Grand Army of the Re
public. Friends of Dr. Johnson frequently tell
him he bear a marked resemblance to the
late Henry Ward Beecher, and on one occa
sion Dr. Johnson was approached by a man
In a Nebraska town who Inquired the
preacher's name and then remarked, "Well,
you look no much like Uncle Sam I thought
I'd like to know your name."
Dr. Johnson Is beloved by all who know
him and given credit for a long life filled
with good deeds and great usefulness. He
has a kindly and sympathetic nature and
a big heart which is ever ready to respond
to the need of his fellowmen. He 1 a
friend to everybody and thousand bear
testimony to his great worth. "Well done,
thou good and faithful servant," may justly
be applied to him when his life's work is
ended. 8. W. THURBER.

The following real estate firms will be

vided for the Omaha party, and it is ex
pected that the car will be made up on the
same train that will take a delegation from
Kansas City to Minneapolis.
A. P. Tukey ft Son are advertising for
and buvlna a number nf lnl in niu
which were sold during the boom davs tn
peculators who expected property to soar.
It Is said by those acquainted with the
condition during the boom days that at
least lo.ooo lots were old In Omaha to both
local people and other from surrounding
states. In some instances lots were sold
at that time at two and three times the
present value of the property. Persons
Who bought the lota have held them
hoping to realise their investment. Interest
and taxes. Lots which sold for 1400 and 1X0
when the big rush wa on are relinquishing
tncir titles now for 1100 and 1200. A. p.
Tukey & Son bought twenty-one of these
lots this week. Real estate dealers feet
that Omaha Is recovering from tha irr,.a
of the time when the boom was on and be
lieve that from now on the real estate mar
ket will be steady and active. Not only
were lot sold at an exhorbitant price, but
mortgage were taken on nrnmrtv wi,i, h
called for more money than the land was
worm, in looking over the records. It 1
noted that one savings and loan
took a mortgage on a lot for 1500 in the
ooom aay wnicn today is worth about $150.
The new residence recently hunt i tha
Hasting & Heyden company at 1417 Plnk
ney street was sold last week to Fred L.
Tubbs for $3,600. It contains six rooms
and Is modern throughout. Martha v.

Heyden for 13.500. William J unri Paulina
C. Shannahan bought a five-robm cottage

lots were sold last week in Hoctor ter
race on Vinton street by the same firm.
mis addition lies between Omaha and
South Omaha. The streets are paved and
the boulevard wind through the tract.
Plans hava been Mil hm it tori a 1 1.. U7a..
minster Preabyterln church
Lawrie ft Fisher, architects for a new
church building to be erected at the cor
ner of Twenty-first and Pacific streets. If
the plans offered are accepted by the board
they will provide for an edifice which will
be an Innovation in church building. The
design calls for a church on the old colonial
tyle of the eighteenth -century.
Tha old-fashioned portico will' be In evi
dence and the. main structure ' will be of
rough red brick and white mortar. The
inside will be finished, and tha arrange
ment well carried out on tha line of the
old New England meeting houses. A' gal
lery will extend along two sides and the
rear, which will be reached by stairs .at
the rear and at the sides of the pulpit.
The pulpit will resemble those to be found
In the old Scottish meeting houses. It Is
estimated that the church will cost In the
neighborhood of 140,000, If built according
to the plans drawn.
Another new building at Eleventh street
and Capitol avenue for the Indian ware
house is Just another Instance of the value
of that part of the city for warehouse
sites and the Justification of the prediction
recently made by real estate men that the
wholesale district would take of itself.
A new hotel will be erected at Fourteenth
and Howard streets which will cost In the
neighborhood of $50,000. The hotel will not
bo as large as some of the Mg ones In
Omaha, but It is planned to make It mod
ern in every respect, both In construction
and furnishings.
With the purchase of a lot at Twelfth
and Davenport the Omaha Bridge and Ter
minal company, controlled by the Illinois
Central, has gained possession of the en
tire block bounded by Eleventh, Twelfth,
Davenport and CMcngo streets. The price
paid for the last lot was $10,000 and it was
bought from the Folsom estate. This com
pany has been acquiring property In this
vicinity for the last ten years and now has
beside this solid block several other lots
in the immediate neighborhood.' It Is sur
mised by real estate men of the city that
the company contemplates the erection of a
big freight terminal upon the property acquired.

LINCOLN PROHIBITION
FAILURE, SAYS POWELL
Exciseman Thinks that Kftort to
Make Capital Dry Town Is
Mistake.
'The prohibition question Is rather un-J
satisfactory in Liincoin at tne present time,
and things are not running as smoothly as
they should," said U. G. Powell, one of
Lincoln's excisemen. Mr. Powell Is also
a rate expert for the State Railway com
mission, and is In Omaha with a force of
men making copies of the interstate ship
ments of freight handled by the Union
Pacific road.
"We hope to get things straightened out,"
said Exciseman Powell, "but I do not be
lieve that strict prohibition Is the thing
for Lincoln. The people who lnsiut upon
having intoxicating drinks will get them
somewhere and I would prefer that they
get It legally than to go to a dive and
pay an exhorbitant price for it. My plan
would be to license some reliable grocery
store and allow liquor to be sold In bottle
for home consumption as the truffle could
be regulated in this way and those 'who
feel that they can't get along without their
beer, could get it legally."

CAPTAIN WANTS HIS JOB BACK
Month Omaha Police Offltrr Objects
to the War H Is Relieved
from Duty.
Peters P. Powers, discharged South
Omaha police captain, has brought suit In
district court for a writ of mandamus to
restore him to his position. The petition
Is directed at Mayor Tralnor, Joseph Pl
vonka and J. J. Ryan of the Magic City
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners.
Powers alleges that he was discharged
April 11 without charges having been pre
ferred and with no chance to argue In his
own behalf. The petition will be heard
next week.
H. T. McManus, J. M. Beard, George
Gotschow and O. H. Swan will represent
Omaha at the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Englnetnen convention, which
Is to be held in St. Paul on June 8. The
men from Omaha are going to put up a
fight to have the permanent headquarters
of the organization located In this city.
If they are successful, the new headquar
ters, estimated to cost $750,000. will be
erected in Omaha.
The session opens Monday, but probably
will last for about thirty days. It Is prac
tically understood that some city will bo
selected as the permanent headquarters of
the society and that a building will be
erected a the headquarters building. The
local delegates will argue that Omaha Is
the natural place for the head ot the or
ganisation, owing to the number of gen
eral offices of the railroads In this city.
It is understood that a number ot the dele
gates favor Omaha on account of its cen
tral location, and these men will be asked
to give their support to the boom to have
the headquarters moved to this city.
There will be about 6,000 visitors and
delegates present at the convention and 7K)
delegates from subordinate lodges. The
Ladles' auxiliary will be represented by 350
delegates.

numbered. A resolution wa offered at
the meeting of the Board of County Com
