STARTS OUT ON LAST WEEK
In His Morning Sermon Erangelist
Assails the Empty-Headed
Society Woman.
2JEXT SABBATH THE LAST DAY
"Billy" Sunday wont after trail
litters yesterday afternoon, and he
got them 197 of them. With every
appeal and every art which he knows
he created bucu an effect that the
entire audience of 9,500 men was
under his spell and one bearded man
past middle age was selied with a
temporary mania.
The man, who had been seated on
the platform, rushed up to Sunday
Just as the evangelist opened the
trail. He fell to his hands and Knees,
his body twitching and shaking as
though in an ague, and hla lips mut
tering prayers.
Ushers took him in charge, over
came his desire to grovel on the floor
ty placing him in a chair and held
him fast until the attack spent its
strength. In half an hour he had re
covered. The victim ot "Billy's" eloquenoe de
clined to glvo hla name. H Bald he Was a
tnembcr of the Methodist church and that
lie had hit the trail several days ago.
Mart of Last Week.
"Billy" was at his best yssterday. It
was the beginning ot the last week of the
Campaign and of what he hopea will be
the successful week In point of number of
trall-nltters.
Ills sermon was accompanied by all the
acrobatics which have made him fa
mous and was a direct and powerful ap
peal to sinners to be aaved. It was en
titled "How To Be Less Than a Man."
It appealed In turn to all the emotions
of men on which Sunday found It possi
ble to play.
"Do you want to know why a lot of
you fellows have not come down the
aawdust trallT" he demanded. "It's be
cause you're not man enoug-h to do It.
You have not come down and shaken
yny hand and Bone out and told the world
you're a Christian, because you're not
man enough to do It."
tint Mam Enow. - -; Cktati
"I hurl It Into your old teeth," he
shouted. "You're not man enough to ba
a Christian."
To- be saved, Billy" said, means to be a
tnan.
"It you want to be less than a man,
0o to hell." he told the audienoe. He also
aid:
"It's a disgrace to your manhood that
men fill the haunts of vice while three
fourths of the membership of the churches
are women.
"It is coirlemptlble after a man has
drained the cup of llfo to throw the
dregs In God s face, but God Is so good
that he will take even the fragments."
In the midst of a pathetic story which
caused many to shed tears, "Billy" said:
'And he went from bad to worse and
from thero to Chicago."
Attacks lasjreraoll.
"Billy" attacked Robert Ingersoll sav
agely. After describing him as a man of
supreme ability and genius he called him
"nothing but a mouthful of sweetened
wind," and "a wrecker pure and simple."
He declared Ingersoll's preachings of
Skepticism had done great harm and as
serted he would prefer being a vile out
cast to being Ingersoll.
MornluK service at Tab.
. "When a girl lives for the vain flat
tery of a thing we mls-akenly call a
man. Ood pity her empty head full of
bulk oysters and sawdust." Thus spoke
Itev. William A. Sunday In his morning
sermon at the tabernacle.
To me the emptiest thing on earth
Is the mere society" woman, who Uvea for
frappes and dances."
Yet this was not a frapps sermon, or
a dance sermon, nor yet a society ser
mon. Mr. Sunday was preaching on the
subject of "preparedness," one might
say that is preparedness at all times
to give a reason for one's faith In Jesus
Christ. That material happiness cannot
bring peace, that wealth cannot bring
peace, that splendid equtppagea, costly
liveries, rich robes and flashing dia
monds cannot bring peace to the soul,
the evsngellst pointed out with many a
rocket of eloquence.

Tecumseh Man Pinioned in One Car
Up to Neck in Water for
Over an Hour.
SPECIAL TRAIN RUN TO LINCOLN
TECUMSEH, Neb., Oct. 17. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Carl Brock, one of
the five Tecumseh men in the Union
Pacific wreck at Randolph, Kan., yes
terday, returned home this after
noon. He escaped with a dislocated
shoulder and severe bruises and
lacerations. Ho gives a graphic de
scription of the wreck, being
pinioned in one of the cars In water
up to his chin for more than an hour
and being in a semi-conscious state
during this time.
Special Train to Lincoln.
Word comes from relatives of the vic
tims at Randolph that the Union Paclflo
will run a special train to Lincoln' to-hlirnt.'--Th'
bodies" tfvA."'f.' Shaw' and
Theodore Smith of this city, who were
killed, will be on this train, as will K C.
Hedrtck and C. W. Jones, who were in
jured. Jones' injuries are not bad and
It la said Mr. Hedrick, though seriously
injured, will recover. The bodlea and the
Patients will reach Tecumseh at 1:30
o'clock In the morning. Up to this lime
no arrangements have been made for the
funerals of Mr. Shaw and Mr. Smith.
RANDOLPH, Kan., Oct. 17. The exact
number of dead In the wreck yesterday
of the Union Pacific motor train at the
Fancy Creek bridge near here may never
be known. .
When the car, which plunged head
first Into the creek, was raised today, the
front end dropped out, carrying Into the
flooded stream those bodies which the
rescuers were unable to reach last night.
All efforts to find the bodies In the
racing stream had failed tonight. The
number Is not known, but officials esti
mate that four and possibly six persons
were drowned in addition to the eleven
whose bodies were recovered yesterday.
In the dive into the mud and rock at
the bottom of the stream, where the car
carrying sixty-five passengers plunged
when the bridge abutment gave way, the
front of the coach was demolished. Of
the thirty passengers in that end of the
car, the swift flood waters lodged much
sand and mud about them.
The stream was too swift for divers to
examine the bottom closely when the car
was lifted, but It was found that the
hole the car had gouged out in the
stream's bottom was of a great depth and
was fast filling with mud and sand swept
down by the current.
It Is believed by officials that several
bodies were burled by this mud and sand
before the car was raised and remained
there afterwards.

"The attorney general figures ths profit

Smith was escorting Miss Grace
Slater, 4 22 North Thirty-fourth
street, a 22-year-old clerk for tho
Woodmen, to her home when the
robber halted them.
"Oh, you wouldn't rob me. I'va
only got a few dollars," Smith
laughed, when the masked bandit
shoved a pistol against him.
Strikes Onn Down.
A bullet was the reply. As ths bandit
fired. Smith struck the gun down with
Miss Slater's parasol, which he was
carrying, and the ball entered his right
groin, severing an artery. Before doctors
could get to him, he died from tne loss
ot blood.
Immediately after firing the shot, ths
bandit seised Miss Slater by ths arm and
forced her to accompany htra. He kept
her walking in front of him, and when
pedestrians approached he removed the
mask hs wore. After tha pedestrians
passed hs donned it sgatn, meanwhile
keeping tha girl from getting, a look at
his face. He forced Miss Slater to re
main In hla company for nearly an hour.
At Fortieth and Burt ha took 80 cents
from the girl, snd, after handling her
outrageously, threatened to assault her.

I'm a pure girl. You wouldn't you
couldn't treat a decent woman so."
"You're right," the bandit answered. lis
