Lincoln Team Forfeits
To Omaha Navy Squad
The ,Navy Base ball team of Omaha
had the Lincoln Cleaners and Dyers
beaten, 8 to 1, in the eighth inning
at Lincoln yesterday and was going
fast when the Lincoln team picked
up its bats and quit. The Lincoln
team members said they were beaten
anyway and so might as well quit.
Freynick, who has pitched every
game for the Navy team this season,
was in the box for the Omaha team.
The Navy team has played 16
games this season and has lost but
one game. It has won 14 straight
games,
THREE AMATEUR
TEAMS ARE TIED
TOR PLACE ONE
Murphys, Armours and Met
calfs Knotted; Two New
Leagues to Start
Soon.
By FRANK QUIGLEY.
Here of late the fans have treated
the local base ball manipulators like
they were big league ball tossers with
one exception. The exception being
that the fans hereabouts glide through
the gates minus the hammer ani gen
erally leave the same way.
Of course a few of the chronics
are always ready to do a little knock
ing, but to date they have failed to
do 'much damage with their line of
chatter.
Xext Sunday two more leagues will
kick up the dust, namely, the Sunset
and the Liberty. Many of thq classy
children of this burg, classes consid
ered, are members of these two
leagues, so some nifty ball is looked
for when these leagues are ushered in.
Riggs in Second Place.
Yesterday by the skin of their
teeth the Riggs Optical boys cor
nered second place in the Booster
league when they marched off with
the grapes of a 7 to 6 score. The
Central Furniture boys found the Al
pha camp, W. O. W., a tough propo
sition, the final count being 7 to 6 in
their favor. ' ,
The Dreshers swung into line and
copped the long end of a 5 to 2 score
from' the Krajicek, jrs.
Those hampions of the City
league, namely, the National Cash
Registers, slipped the Nebraska Stor
age Battery boys a 14 to 1 defeat.
Evidently the Battery boys were not
very well charged.
Before the Union Outfitting com
pany, the Omaha Giants proved mid
gets,, but the score was close, it being
5 to 4.
Dope Upset.
Again the unexpected happened
yesterday when the Holmes White
So?f cleaned up on the Murphy Did
Its to the tune of 4 to 3. For two
consecutive Sundays the Murphys
rhave been asleep on the job. Possi
bly that trip to Alma, Mich., did not
agree with the Blacksmiths. Anyway
the Holmes boys are so happy you
would swear that they had killed the
kaiser.
Some tooth carpenter killed the
nerve of the Krajiceks for they
dumped one to the Armours by the
score of 12 to 3.
Across the Waves the C. B. Met
calfs took the Beselins into camp.
The story as 7 to 2.
Because the C. B. Lpngeways used
T wirier Manske, formerly associated
with the salaried children on Pa
Rourke's pay roll, they forfeited their
duel played last Sunday.
As the result of yesterday's battles,
three squads are tied for first place,
namely, the Murpfiv Did Its, Armours
and C. B. Metcaffs. The Beselins
are still loafing in the basement.

FAITH IS HEART
OF OUR RELIGION,
SAYS DR. SMITH
Kansas City Congregational
Leader Speaks at First
Congregational
Church.
An unusually large summer con
gregation and a brilliant sermon by
one of the leaders of Congregational
ism in the United States made the
morning services at First Central
Congregational church notable in the
beginning history of this new church
organization.
The speaker of the morning was
Dr. Frank G. Smith of Kansas City,
pastor of the First Congregational
church there.
Dr. Smith took as his subject "The
Larger Meaning of an Old Word."
His text was 1 John 5:4, "And this
is the victory that overcometh the
world, even our faith."
After his introductory remarks in
which he gave the definition of a
word as the s4gn of an idea the
speaker entered upon a discussion of
the word faith, which he said is one
of the great , words in religion. Re
ligion, he saidhrough the opera
tion of faith, purports to offer a so
lution to the probleirt.of life.
Problem of Life.
"That problem," said Dr. Smith,
"can be defined in one proposition
and three consequent questions. The
proposition 'Things are.' This is
the most obvious fact in life, the
fact of the existence of things.
"The three questions which con
stitule life's projblem are, 'How did
tilings come to be?', 'What is the
end of the things to.be?', 'What
ought to be the program of life?'
"In their attempt to solve the pro
blem of life men have become divided
into three camps. There are first the
philosophers, who try to find a so
lution by speculation, by reason, by
thinking things through.
"There is also the camp of scienc;
those who are seeking the solution
of the problem of life by the labora
tory method, by tearing things to
pieces and looking into the minutes
detail of their construction.
"The third camp i.s the camp ot re
ligion, of those wlio believe in reve
lation. Those who believe that there
is an eye ttrat can look out beyond
the ken of the natural eye. Not ihat
religion does not believe in philoso
phy and in science, but that it be
lieves that the ultimate solution of
Vie problem of life will be found in a
consciousness of the supreme power
"Faith is the heart of religion. How
may , this -,old word be definetihen,
to make it effective in bringing vb us
the solution of. the problem of life?
"On its intellectual side faith is a
reasonable inference from accepted
facts. Without faith no great scien
tific or speculative discovery was ever
made.
"On its jnner, or passive side faith
is best denned in the words of scrip
ture, 'Faith is the substance of things
hoped for. the evidence of things not
seen.' ,We make real the promise of
life before it has become a fact to u
by the power of faith.
"On its active side faith is a pro
gram of life."
Dr. Smith illuminated his subject
by a rich fund of enlightening illustra
tions. He is a skillful weaver of
words, and he hehj the undivided at
tention of his audience for nearly an
hour by the power of an unusual elo
quence of expression.
City Allows Raise in Gas
Rates for Pattsmouth
Plattsmouth, Neb., July 28. (Spe
cial.) Last night at a special meeting
the city council raised the rates of
gas from $1.75 to $2.10. The mat
ter of rates has been under contro
versy for some time between the Ne
braska Lighting company and the

sumers that the gas would ' e shut
off on July 30. j The passing of the

SIGNS POINTING

CARRYING STATE
Convention of Party Largely
Attended and Much Inter
est Displayed by
' Voters.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, July 28. (Special.) Ev
erything points to a big republican
victory in Nebraska, according to re
ports being brought into Lincoln by
candidates who have been attending
republican county, conventions out in
the state.
The attendance at the conventions
as a rule is good and the enthusiasm
shown indicates that the people are
alive to the situation and that there
will be a reversal of judgment when
the voters get a chance to cast their
ballots. In one county where clubs
have been organized it Is reported

Democrats Feel Fearful. '
Much interest is being taken in the
coming state republican convention to
be held in Lincoln Tuesday, and there
is every indication that it will be the
largest convention held for many
years.
That democrats are fearful of the
result is evidenced by the fact that
democrats and democratic papers aro
endeavoring to stir up a fight in re
publican tanks. Even they are be
pinning to recognize that the repub
lican forces are alive and primed for
the battie, and that they have but
one chance to win, and that is that
the republicans will get to fighting
and have another split. Upon this
they are hanging their hopes for vic
tory and not upon any idea that they
may be able to retain the confidence
of a long suffering public.
Their attempt to gain strength bv
appealing to the. idea that there
should be no politics in this cam
paign and that politics should be(,ad-
journed dur rg the period ot the war,
nas gone ir.,o tne discard, tor by their
own acts tlrcy have shown that poli
tics has not been adjourned, but is
on tap in the democratic camp with
two spigots in each barrel and the
bunghole wide open.
Beach Not Talking.
The presence of National Chairman
Will II. Hays of the republican na
tional committee is bringing about a
feeling that the party will be strength
ened greatly by his presence and
much is expected from his address.
There is absolutely nothing in the
democratic story that Hays will mix
in the selection of a state chairman
for the republican party. That Beach
has put in some good work is con
ceded, but he refuses to say that he
will be a candidate again for the
chairmanship, contending that a
chairman should be selected by the
republicans of the state and not
through the candidacy of any man.

Lincoln, Neb., July 28. That the
Nebraska branch of the division of

at the top above New York, which
ranks second with 258. Kansas is
third, 220; Iowa, fifth, 180.
Nebraska's 1,875 four-minute men
speakers are outnumbered by only
New York's 3,814. Missouri is third,
1,849; Illinois, fourth, 1,672; Iowa,
sixth, 1,151.
Nebraska's record of 4,070 -addresses

stages New York, Missouri and Illi
nois. In aggregate audience, Ne
braska's 1,105800 was seventh. New
York's 6,201,000 is third.
In the percentage of chairmen who
reported on this campaign, Nebras
ka's 94 per cent (equalled or excelled
by Illinois and four small organiza
tions of less than 100 branches) was
eight ranks above New York, 10
above Iowa, 16 above Massachusetts,
14 above Kansas, 20 above Missouri.

Rev, C. T. Savidge in his sermon
-atvthe Peoples' church Sunday morn-,
ing took for his subject the "An
gelus," which' Omahans have been'
asked to recite at. noon.
"The Angelus is a sectarian prayer
to the Virgin Mary, commonly said iit
the Catholic church three times ar
day," sail Rev. Mr. Savidge. "Pope
John XXII instituted this office
1316 and several popes have granted
indulgences to those wjio say the
Angelus on their knees.
"I do not pray to the Virgin Mary.
She is the handmaid of the Lord,
but she is not the Diety to whom?
prayer should be addressed. I pray ,
to God through Jesus Christ, who is
the true and only intercessor with
God.
"I do' not believe In set and stere
otyped forms of prayer. Forma of
prayer shackle the soul and stifle and
destroy true prayer. True prayer ia
the sincere desire of the heart Ot
tered to God in faith in the name of
Jesus Christ for a particular object.
"In this call to prayer, all classes
of people are asked to join, irrespec-,
tive df their moral and spiritual con
dition, the bootlegger, the Sabbath
breaker, the adulterer and the pro-"
fane swearer. :"
"The Bible tells us that the sacri
fices and prayers of the wicked arei
abominable in the sight of God. The"."
wicked can only pray one prayer;
that is the prayer of penitence. God : ;.i
does not ask the' wicked to pray,! but '""
to repent. -

are the precious heritages of
this republic." -

When He Began Taking ;
Tanlac Feels
Fine Now. 5
"To show you what an awful con
dition I was in before I started on'
Tanlac, just this spring I was down
with rheumatism so bad that I
couldn't turn over in bed." said Phillip
M. rramer ot 4tv .Parker street, the i

"For the past 12 years," continued
Mr. Pramer, "I had suffered so ter-
ribly from catarrh of the stomach $
that I thought at times it would about i,
do me up. I had to diet myself for a t
long time, living on the very aim- "j
plest kinds of food, and even that-j
would bloat me up with gas so I ,
could hardly breathe. I suffered from .
awful headaches, and dizzy spells
would come on me at times that lasted
for two or three hours before my ""
head would clear up. I ached so with
rheumatism all over my body that
many a time I could hardly stir out v.
of my bed, I seldom knew what a ,kj
good night's sleep was and would get
up in the mornings with my head
feeling as big as a bushel. Nothing -
I took did me a bit of good and I got
so at last that I hardly expected ever j!
to be a well man again. ;-t
"But when I read so much tn the"-
papers about Tanlac I got ' more
hopeful and thought I would try a -bottle.

to the first few doses and it wasn't ,
long before I had the appetite of a 3 '

that awful rheumatism has gradually
left me and I am feeling just fine. In J'
