Only one criminal case hias been tried so far, that being the case whom the old expressman, John D, Wait, a man ot some sixty years, and whose hair is s white as snow, was charged with the at- tempted raping of little six-year-old_girl by the name of Flowers, He was ably defended, but the erime was too heinous and the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. On being nsked why sentence should not be passed upon him he replied: “It makes no differ- ence to me, judge, whether you give me six months or five years, 1t will be all the same. 1 cannot live there many montls,” and over nis wrinkled face copiously flowed tears of shame and griet, 11s aged wife was present and wept bitterly as thie sentence was pro- nounced that separated them for three long years, and perhaps forever.

THE OMAHA SAM JONES AT HIS BESL The Evangelist's Able Effort at the Exposi- tion Building Last Night. ““BURLINGTON" IMPROVEMENTS. Platting the Poor Farm—A Outting Affray — Misplaced Confidence— The Cattlemen's Convention ~Court Notes—Local. Sam Jones. The evangelist preached one of his best sermions at the exposition building last night to four thousand people. The fol- lowing is a synopsis of the effort: We invite your prayerful attention to the twenty-fourth and twenty-ifth verses of the first chapter of the Book of Proverby: “Be- cause I have called and yo have refused, [ have stretebed ont my hands and no man re- warded. L also will laugh at your calamity, 1 will mock wiren your fear cometh.” The first three words of this text ought to get the attention of every man_ present, “Beeause 1 vo called.” I believe It was Mr. Spurgeon who said if we just had eyes to sea and ears to lieat, how multudinous are the calls of God, 1le calls us vy everything, he calls us rywhere to a OBLER, BETTER AND HIGIER LIFE, @ walk out of our homes 1n the morning, sun, as he climbs the slippery stecps of the skies, he looks Gown upon us and say y pathway is upward and on- rand brighter; how is it with When the sun reaches the zenith and for a_moment, he looks down and says: “Oh man, I have reached the zenith, have you reached the zenith of your life; will your days now decline a3 your days go down?"" And jnst as thesun ieaps over the western hills aid the earth is covered with darkness, he looks back once more and preaches ‘another sermon, and says to us, +0h, man, I ha y setting and you shall have ynurrmw: wili you zo down to your grave bathied in splendour as you see me this afternoon, or will you go down beneath clouds and darkness forover?” When we g0 into onr homes and light our candle and light our gas and sit down to read wo seo the little mote as it flies arouna the blaze, and wesay, “Oh, poor little foolish thing! don’t burn yourself to death, getaway from this light:" and it flies aronud the light again and 'is burned todeath and drops on the loor—and God says, “Oh. man, you are doing “the very sawe thing: you are dazzled by tho fleeting pleasures of this life; your soul and - eonsolence is seared 'by “them, and finally you shall plunge into that five that is ungquenchable for- ever.” ‘When 1o into my room at night _to €0 10 bed I shut the door and God says: “Oh, man, HEAVEN'S DOOR WILL BE SHUT some day; will you be on the ottside with the afely shut in forey At midnight when som > noise shall awaken me, 1 think there is a sermon in the noise. “Be ve 0 for ye know not the day nor the n of man cometh.” When 1 wake up in the merning 1 walk down to my breakfast table, and my children and wife are gatberod arountd the table and God says: “Oh, as you give vour children bread, and as o for the wants of your childrén, come to me; you are my child, and I will feed yon on heiven's bread and angels’ fuod.” When I walk down to my business, it I am a merchant, every time 1 measure a_yard of goods, and clip it off with the ors, God says, “Man I am measuring off your days to you, and some of these days the'scissors of death will clip you loose from time.” Lf [am a grocer and put my sugar and coffec into the scales to weigh it, God says. “Mene, mene, tekel, yon are weighed in the balances yourself and found wanting.” If [am a lawyer, whenever a client comes and sits down by me, God says, “*Youare the counsel, you are the advocate for that man, now come to the Lord Jesus Christ and let him be your advocate at the final bar.” Am [ a school teacher, as the schoul children gather around me, the Lord Jesus says, *Come my child and learn of me: I will teach you things that Socrates never knew and Piato never thought about.”” If you area blacksmith, at every stroke of the hammer upon that iron says, “Oh man L have been beating on your heart with the hammer of my word, does 1t give under the strokes s this _iron d under your hammer. Every hous see ing up the streets of this town, God says, “Oh man, will you have a house not made with hands on the strects of New Jerusalem!” As L look at the majestic river tiowing by your city, God says, “Oh man, will_you drink of the river of life and feast vourself upon the waters that shall quench your thirst for- ever?” Every tree and particle of shrubbery that I look upon about this town, God says, *Oh man, will you ever eat of the tree of life and sit down beneath its foliage and enjoy the blessings of eternal life?” " Every time 1ook into a fire, God says, “Oh man, ‘is vour final destiny amid the firés that shall never be quenched, and with the worm that shall never die?” ' Every dog I see trotting along the street, God says, *Have you gone as the dog back to his vomit, or as the hog wallow- ing in the mire?” Every horse and ox 1 see, God sa; ie ox and the horse knoweth its owne youwill not consider.” And I say i’ we just had the eyes to see and the ears to hear the multitudinous cries of divine grace to every man of us to_lead a better and a higher life, we would see that GOD 18 PREACH ten thousand sermons daily, sermons eq us to a better life, sermons calling us to God, sermons calling us to purity and heaven, But God calls more strongly than this, 1 know God is in earnest about the salyation ot man, and He says: -Because 1 have calted 1 have called.”” God calls us by Ris holy spirit. Oh, how many hearts in this avdience tonight have been called by the cood spirit to o better life since these meet- ngs commenced. ‘The spirit of God has knocked upon the door of your heart, and your heart, and your hoart, and_every knock of the divine means do better, live better, give yourself to Giod, give yourdelf to right. On, thou spirit of all grace, the true lizht that lighteth every man that cometh into the world; ~ this slfl rit that comes to show us the things of God; this spirit that makes me feel I am a sinner; the spirit that takes me by tno handand leads me to Christ; that gives me life; that gves mo purity ; that gives me beaven. Oh, his divine spirit, the third person of adorea: ble trinity, has been to your heart and bid you bea better man and o a better woman, Every good resolution I haye ever had, pvery ood purpose 1 have ever felt in my' hearf, wvas born of the good spirit of gruco as it e into contact with my heart. And every good resolution and inspiration of your soul was born of the spirit of grace that comes to men’s hearts to warn and implore and conjure us to lead a betterlife. Ho calls us by 11is spirit, but oh, my brother, have you any idea how many calls God is giving you by this spirit of grace ? Oh, they are past numbering. GOD HIMSELF HAS SWOK: that he who comes already lost may be for- given, Allsins in this world can be forgiven except sins against the Holy Ghost, and for that sin there shall be no forgiveness in _this world or the next. Sin against the Holy Ghost s fo liavo a neglect of hia presence until and when the spirit of God takes his everlusting tlight from the you utterly rieve Him from your heart and he is gonw lorever, Ol human heart, salvation Is iwm- Yu«iblw for all time to come. You ma vitle with me and you may la:h at what 1 say and you may deride those preachers and scoff at the meetings, but I tell you sir, God will bold you responsible for the treatment~ of His divine spirit that he has seut to your lheart. I know God is in earnest because he not only calls us by ten thousand things around us, but He calls us by Iis holy spirit, but He calls us by His word. Oh the ten thousand calls in the word of God; on every page of that book there is a call to every ane of us to do better to | right, serve God and eschew the evil. You may turn to any of its pages and you way find on every page of this plesses a call to serve God and todo right to yourselves and towards your neigh- bor, T blessed book from Genesis to Revelations is calling you to God; is eallin, humanity away from sin. Oh brother, if Go has given us this precious book so tull of Divice calls, and not only that, but he has scattered this blessed book around the world, There is no home but this book has walked to that home and offered itselt with the love of God and the life-giving word. In this Awmerican country of ours and in alwost every land the Bible goes to every home. It is printed in ever, ngue. It"is word of life: it is the word of God; it 18 the word that leads to righteousness and life. And he not only me b{ his blessed spirit and worn ta cowe untohim all ye who iabor and are hea laden and 1 will give you rest; but he also s, whoesoever will him come, and he whocometh [ will In no wise cast him out.

How many ministérs to-day stand out from the world and prociaim the tidings of salva- tion to & lost world? Here we are with TEN THOUSAND PULPITS in America doing that duty, The faithful men of God consecrated to that work doing thelr duty. These men are ealling von daily and hourly to repentanceand to God. 1 knoswy thero is a great deal of criticism as to the preaching. I know it is impossible for any one man to suit'everybody with his sermon but I want to make an announcement to you to-night that may do yon good the rest of your life. When my memory runs over the past of my 1ife when 1 was in 8in, sine [ have en a christian T say to you | have heard ignorant men, tolored men” and white men preach, but in my memory I cannot call up a single sermon that had not truth enough in it to save a thousand souls. You never heard a sermon in_your life that did not have enough truth in it to save one thousand men like you, Brother, yon haye not only been called once but yon have been called a_thousand times, and not only have you been called a thousiand Limes but you have been called in a thousand directions, overa _thousand direc- ot only that tions to lead a better life. And but here is the most important nave not o been ealted a thousand tin but vou have heard, you have heard everyone of these calls and a lr’.lll‘ more important still not only have you been called a thousand times and nol only have you heard everyone of these calls hlll?‘o\l nave understood those enlls you knew what they meant, you knew God “was calling you to a better life, 1T ‘man s been called " a thonsand times,and not only heard that call in his ears, but heard it ringing down through THE CHAMIERS OF 1118 SOUL, not only did he hear it, but understood ever; call that has been made to him, then 1 ask you, if the man dies, would you not think after that, what excuse can he have in this world or in the world to come, Now, because I have called and ye_have refused, what do youmenn by that. Ye have refused. Some say [ am going to do better and live better, Let us not do better, but let us do best. Let us all do best, 1 never want to be among the number that can see how close they can get to the pearly gates, and then have to be turned around and driven back to hell for- ever. Brother, 1 cannot afford that, I do not want to do_better, but I want to do the best. Ye have ' rofused my coun- sel and advice, and T also will Inugh at your calamity and mock when your feat cometh, Brother, did God say that? That Is the most awful thing that God ever said. Did he say that? There is but ono Jssage,of scriptiire that thraws any light on hat: I will laush at your ealamity and mock when your fear cometh. What measure you mcte shall be measured to you again.” I ha! ied for fourteen years to get my mind up to the point where I'could grasp that text 80 [ could preach from it. ~ Now, [ saw that that throws light upon the other. I will laugh at your calamity and mock when your fear cometh,” just as vou laugh and mock while God pleads and God begs you to come to-night. Justso, when you bex and plead up yonder, God will meastire to you up yon- der'what you measure to him down here. I say to every man of you to-night, wake up to this fact, just the way you want God to treat foust the judement, you treat him that way to-night. That isit.' “God bews and pleads, besceclies and implores you to-night. - Come to ‘me and liv You turn away with indifferencs vou laugh and scoff and then when the worid is on fire and vou stand_yonder befors God and_you rlmn(:nullw andcry for merey God will be ndifferent to you. If you are indifferent now God will langh then if you lnugh nows God will scofl then if you scoff now, ~Just as you treat Him in this world He will freat you in the world to come. Oh, awful thought: oh, awful' thought, God help men to think of it. Brother, brother. Yonder before the great white throne, when you walk up in the presence of that great i, ean_you walk up inthe presence of God knowing that you have scoffed at Him wnd lnuched at mercy. 1f you would receive mercy at last yon must ceive offers of mercy now. *Because 1 havo called and ye have refu Ihave stretched out my hand and ye have not responded, now 1 will laugh at your calamity and mock when your fear cometh.” I Know of nothing in all my knowledge that illustrates that awful condition better than one of our good preachiers told me. He said: “A gentleman iving in the country several miles from town where he was a pastor, e said he was a noble Christian man, that he had only one chilg and that wasa bov. e grew up and his_ father expended every good Influence upon him and when'that boy Was old enough to send to college e sent him to college.

Teat boy came home with his diplowa, but a poor debauched wretch. The father Iavished every kindness that bis great heart could lavish upon that wayward boy. He went from bad to worse. His fatlier furnished him every dollar that he needed. That father furnished bim every dollar lie desired and the boy went on from bad to worse. The father poured every blessing of his heart upon his poor boy: he went from bad to worse. He said one morning the father diove into town and_on the sidewalk this young man met his father, ull debauched and drunken. e young man walked up to his father and coliared and cursed him betore his face. ‘Tho father just tore loose from the boy, wentand got into his bug:y and drove home, and when he drove up in the front of the grove of his yard, he hitched his horse and walded off down nearly a quarter of amilein the grove, and when he got to the further corner of the grove he was seen to put his hands upou his head this way and utter one of the most terrible shrieks almost that a human being ever gave utterance to: he said he took his hands down off from his head and stood there a moment or two, and put his hands back on_ his head and the same fearful shriek escaped his lips; he took his hands down for a moment and put_his hands up agan and stood there a moment, and put his hands back up again and another fearful shriek, and then put his hat ubon his head and walked to the bouse and went into the se, and in_a fow minutes this drunken boy came staggering up the steps. His father heard his drunken son walking on the porch and met him, and when ho met him he ri and_said: “Of from S Youare no longer y boy but a villain, leave here forever.” T'he boy staggered back to town and in five days died in the gutter and was buried asn puper: his father no even attending tho uneral. ‘That reminds me of when Jesus was overlooking Jerusalem, and he said: 40h, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how otten would I have gathered’ your children together as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wi but ye would not.

PLATTING THE POOR FARM. ivision of the Fifty Aocres, County Surveyor Smith has been en- gaged in the work of making a plat of the fifty acres of the poor farm that the county commissioners were anthorized to sell at the last election to create a fund to be used in the erection of a county and city hosmital, It was the first pur pose of the commissioners to sell the fifty acres in a lump to the highest bidder for cash This plan has been abandoned for several reasons, the chief one being that more money will be realized by the sale of the ground in blocks and lots, Better prices can be obtained, too, if the property is sold at casier terms and it is probable Plan For the that the commssioners will sell the lots for oncthird cash and the balance in_one and two years. Sur- veyor Smith is having trouble in making a plat of the part set aside for sale. The ground witl be bounded on the north by West Omaha with its unusually wide streets and alleys, and will nec sitate making the lots 50x150 feet in dimensions. This will make buta frac tion over three lots to the acre and r S a broken ticr of 1ots on the west side of the plat, The surveyor's second plat contemplates making of the lots 80x150 feet with the prineipal streets runni cast and west.

This time it is the Rock Island that bas taken I|YU|I 1tself the task of tighting Omaha. “The road,” he s, “is evidently alarmed at the number of hogs that are commg to the Omaha market and is afraid of losing the long haul to Chicago.” A few days ago a shipper telegraphed from Brayton, Ia., to Atlantic, asking if he could ship hogs on that diy’s train to Omaha. 'I'ho answer which “he received was. “No, you can ship to Chieage Later in_the day he received another dispateh: “Ye you can ship to Omaha.” The delay from this action of the ent was sufli cient to cause him to miss gotting his stock off on the first train, and he had to take n later tr y of six or eight hours in Avoca. he did not reach the Omaha until late There was asimilar occurrence at Shelb only a short time ago, and com plilints ave hoard evory duy 'of unneces- sary delays and hindrances pluced in the way of the shipver who wants to come to Omauha. B. & M. l:\ll’l{(l\'h}.\l TS, A New Route to the Stock Yards Established. Tl B. & M. railroad company yesterday completed the survey for their new tra to the stock yads. The line, as surveyed, leaves the Ashland cut-off' at the big cut west of the stock yards and runs cast, between Fow- ler Bros." and Liptow's packing houses, striking the stock yards track at the upper end of the londing chutes. It will be necessary to cut through the hill west of the stock yards to a depth, point, of neatly sixty feet. & M. already has an entrance to the track, which branches off from the Ashiand cut-off, at at a point n little west of Summit, but there is only room for one track and they are compelled to share the stock yards track with the Belt line and the Union Pacific. The increasing business of the yards makes it very inconvenient for all the roads to use one track. In addition to that fact the i another reason for why the B. & M.

The stock yards com- vany will be compelled in the end to ke some change which will give all ads more room, as one track will not long Le ient for a market that is growing so v A Fighting Cook.

IT IS WONDERFUL how eaiily rheumatiem begins, and how insidiously it grows in the system, until one is startled to find himself its victim in either the acute or chronic form.
