Go Out Over Missouri Pacific.
SEE MANUFACTURING PLANTS
VUltorn on the Trip Wonder nt the.
Mnirnltude or the Inilnntrlcn
nntl Wntch Proce of
, Mnnufnetnre.'
A homo trade excursion by rail was
conducted In Omah yesterday after
noon, and from tno fact that 300 men
participated. It was considered by all to
bo a success. The trip was over tho
Belt Line of the Mlesourl Pacific, and
made on a special train In charge of
General Superintendent. D. Bernardl, and
touched many Important manuracurins
plants, all located on the double track
road that extends from Sprague street
on tho north to South Omuha on tho
south, lnclrcllng the city on the west and
fifteen miles in length.
"And who would have thought we had
all this In Omaha? was a frequent ic-
mark heard during the course of tho
excursion as the Omaha business men
gazed In wonder at tho wonders and
system they saw In the various manu
facturing plants. "And to think that we
have lived here so long and did not
know we had such manufacturing estab
lishments in tne city," was remarked by
many.
The National Box company plant was
tho first nlace visited. Here at once
many of the visitors opened their eyes,
for many had never seen a large band
saw at work eating through timbers like
a string through mud.
The Nebraska Stone company was next
on the list. "And who would havo
thought they could saw stone?' was an
exclamation heard on every hand, when
the amazed visitors stood before the
great set of a dozen saws that plowed
their way through slab boulders ot gran-
Actunl work on tho street car extension
from Thirty-fifth and L streets to Forty
fcurth and 1 was begun yesterday morn
ing, A permit was obtained yesterday
jfiom the office of City Engineer Herman
Uenl. Tho extension will comprise a
double track and will open ono ot the best
developed tracts to traffic.
The extension of tho street car linos
west along L street to the city Urn ts
means a big thing for tho property own-1
crs of that section. It means also u tri
umph for tho men who havo worked for
number of years with this In view.
Among tho promoters of tho extension
aro H. M. Christie, Cl. H. Brewer. 11. C.
Murphy and P. Lavclle.
A move Is now on foot to provide street
car facilities from L street south along
Thirty-sixth to the county line.
After Cnllnnnn'M Scnlp.
That friends of tho democratic police
Judge are beginning to realize that he Is
slated for tho discard appears from the
anxious struggle to keep any strong re
publican from filing and Increasing the
number of democratic candidates. Tho
latest effort Is to force Jim Jones, meat
Inspector, Into the came. This has two
purposes one to keep a strong repuu
llcan out and tho other to pry Jones
away from his Job as meat Inspector,
which Is wanted badly by a strong demo
crat and friend ot tho mayor.
It Is now conceded generally that If
Charles Alstadt decides to get Into the
race he will win out with tho support of
many democrats who aro after him to
file.
Alstadt Is a friend of the poor men and
the laborers of South Omaha, regardless
of nationality.

Louis Mclntyre, 45 years ot age, a well-
known citizen of Wynot, Neb., hns dis
appeared from the homo oT his mother

Fears for his safety are entertained as
he had a large sum of money on his per
son when last seen.
Mclntyre came to South Omaha two
weeks ago yesterday to visit his mother,
who Is a housekeeper In tho southern part
ot the city. He called at her place of
residence and Inquired If she needed

Unity
in Church
Work in Korea,
Dr. McOiine
Says
Dr. George S. McCune, the noted mis
sionary of Syen Cnun, Korea, told his
hearers at the Omaha Summer School of
Missions last night that so closely to
gether are the Protestant denominations
working In Korea that many native con
verts could not tell to which they be
longed. Hero was a concrete case:
"One of tho prisoners haled before a
Japanese Judgo In tho recent turmoil In
Korea the persecution was asked by tho
judge what church he belonged to. 'Tho
Jesus, church,' replied , tho man. 'Yes,
but to which, Baptist, Methodist, Pres
byterian, CongregationalUt, or which,'
persisted the judge, who understood. Tho
poor Korean could not tell. He had
been a Presbyterian for nine years and
didn't know It.
"It's unity out there with us." declared
Dr. McCune.
And in thirty years Korea has yielded
300,(00 native members ot these churches.
Though head of the Korean Mission
school, around which centered the perse
ciitlon growing out of the alleged at
tempt on Terauchl, former Japanese gov
ernor-general, Dr. McCune has only kind
words to say ot Japan and Its people,
who. however, he wishes to see much
changed.
' Rev. Henry Wlllard Larape. son of Dr,
J, J, Lampe of Omaha, Is associated with
Dr. McCune at Syen Chun and carrying
on' the work In his absence. Dr. and Mrs.
McCune were guests at the university
last evening ot the Presbyterian Young
Women's Guilds ot Omaha, which sup
port his sister, Miss Catherine McCune,
also a missionary. In Korea.
' They stopped while In Omaha with Mr.
and Mrs. James B. Wootan, old college
friends.'

Every onco In a while there ts reported
to tho police by church pastors or of-i
flclala the theft of church property
amounting to a good round sum. Thean
are the cases In which the burglars steal
communion vessels or tod ine poor uoxos
These robberies aro leported because of
their magnitude. But there are hun
dreds of thefts of smaller caliber that
tho church people do not bother telling
the police about unless they become fre
quent beyond endurance.
The sexton of an upper Broadway
church estimates that the sums ot
money and articles stolen from churches
In the course of a year In New York
amounts to at least 150,000. Seldom it
6ver Is any of the property recovered,
In many cases the thief is known, or
Buepected, but nothing Is done. Thn
church people do not care for the scan
dal, and especially when no money or
material could be recovered It is gener
ally deemed best to drop the whole af
fair
The commonest sort of theft In
churches Is the taking of the prayer
books and hymnals that are placed
conveniently for worshippers. Theso
books are slipped under cloaks or capes
by women and Into coat pockets by
men who attend mass or service for Just
this purpose. The books may be dis
posed ot for a few cents at second-hand
book stores.
A number of churches gave up the
practice of placing books In pews be
cause of tho wholesale purlolnlngs oy
church thieves In particular district.
In some ot tho -Episcopal churches the
thieves make a specialty of grabbing tHe
little combination prayer book and hym
nal, which many churchgoers po-3ess in
expensive forms. In some cases the
holders of certain pews leave their books
in the racks at morning service and If
they fall to attend at evening the church
thief very often sits In the pew and
cleans the rack.
The expert thief comes arrayed In
white tie and puts an arm around the
shoulder ot the brother he meets In the
vestibule; asks for another brother by
name and then wants to know where to
put his things'. This is often done be
fore service begins. He is directed
where to place his hat and coat. He
bustles back and forth bowing to ar
rivals whether he knows them or not.
