WIAT ARE WE WAITING FOR Ram Jones' Sermon at the Exposition Build- ing Last Night. IMPORTANT RAILROAD CHANGE. A Rouse Warming—A Woman Run Over—Court Notes—The Poultry Markets —City News iIn General, Sam Jones, The largest audience of the week greeted Sam Jones at the exposition building last night. Fully 6,000 people were present when the services were commenced at 7:90 o'clock. After the usual song service Secretary Joplin, of the Y. M. C. A., made another appeal to the andience to contribute liberally for Mr. Jones' henefit. The collection on Thursday evening had amounted to a lit- tle more than $300. He urged that the last collection for the ¢ elist's benefit ghould be a liberal or When Mr. Jov- lin had ceased speaking a long-haired crank who oceupied a seat in the front row got up and announced that after the colloction for Mr. Jones had been ma another collection would be taken for the benefit of the needy poor of the city. Seerctary Jovlin succeeded in get- ting the man i a chair before many of the audience realizod what wat going on. He remained silent a few won nd then shouted ot a pity if T have not the right to s up a collection for the benefit of the city's poor. I'll forsake this meeting. May the devil be with it, and God blcss the poor.” He then left the I:uilxlmhr. After a song, “The Child of & King," rendered feelingly by Mr. Maxwell, the evangelist, announcing that there would be but two more sel yices, on Sunday afternoon and evening began his sermon as follow us pray that this may be a very profita- ble service. [ trust the pastors will take up 1 work and carry it on. 'This week a week of trial, Many of you don’t remain to the after-service, Last nizht there were abont sixty I believe eame to the front, 1 believe no more than that, who stood up and said, “I take God as my portion for- ever.” 1 believe in all there lave been from first to last some five hundred, more or les who have come to the front and said, W decide upon a better life.” Tast nizht'T saw, 1 think, four thousand people stand up say, “God helping me 1 shall sow for th ter” 1 believe that the gospel of Jesus Chiist preached persistently anywhere is the most omnipotent thing in_the universe don't believe there is n town so hard or heart 8o hard in this world that the gr hammer of the gospel cannot break it up'into ten thousand pieces, it YOU WILL KEEDP UP THE LICKS, Tdon’t believe anything else in this~ world has the charm that ‘the vospel has; I don’t know anything else that for three weeks would have drawn so 1 neople together night after night to h o same old story “Christ died to save men:” men are wicked’; they ought to repent, this is the gos- pel theme. And still the erowds multiply, and I verily behove that in another week this building would not hold the people. 1 wish | could remnin. Many say, cannot you stay? My repiy is, *“Thank God I never stayed any- whera until they wanted me to leave.” That ain't a zood i Ithank God for the good that Lias been done. It is merely in its incop- tion. 1 trust this work will go on. I believe there have been nearly two thousand, maybe more, who have joined the churches’ at Tor- onto since we left the What will be done here will depend largely upon the ageressiv persistent ith and efforts of the pastors and churclie n tell you right now there is there is no pastor on this platform that has got the faith and courage to go up to an empty church and do anything, You chris- tian people are as much responsibie for the carrying on this work the pastors are. How would Mr. Callaway, general manager of the Union Pacifie railway company, run that railroad if in the worniurz nobody re- port He would be in a bad fix with strike, nobody on hand, You Methodists, Baptists, and you Presbyierians, vou strike on your preachers next day night and what will they do? "Ihey could no more run their churel meetings without the e of their people than the general manager of the Union Pacifie rail- way ean run his railroad without the co- overation of the clerks, conductors, engineers, brakemen and tiremen, [ hope you christian people will see that good is being accom- plislied, ‘and it may be accomvlished more and more. 1 say to you we need nothing as bad as you need o EHoly Ghost sweeping re- vival in your eity.

You have got enough now o go on with. Oh for the “inheritance that is Incorruptible, that is undefiled and that fadeth not away.” A great many have your homes. One fellow says, weil | have got a mice residence here, and another says I have a goud cottawe there. And what that fellow needs is_a “title clear to mansions in gkies.” You have got a home if you here and have a home if you go up thers Lhat is what we want, a honie in both worlds, Well, now. brother, let us give our hearts, our hands, onr all 'to the work and say it shall move. You have consecrated men in the pulpit, there is no doubt about that; they Would have been botter preachers if they had more people praying for them. ‘The road is open to you all now to useftul- mess and prosverity, religiously, if you will apply the same industry and enthusiasm to our religion that you do to anything else. ellow that will come down town and preach business from Monday morning till Saturday might, and puts every dollar of his money 1nto it, and puts his energy, blood and mus- cles all into his_business” and keeps it run- ming, and then goes up to the church Sunday morning and says: “I wonder what in the world is the matter with the church, it don’t move atall.” 1f you would run your busi- mess like you run‘your churches Lere TUE SHERITF WOULD GET YO n three months and lock you up and keep you. (Laughter) It takes just the same energy religiously as it does commercially to succeed, W invite your attention to this one verse, We tind it in the psalms, “What wait 1 fo my lope 18 in God.” Many of us can s like David did that “our hobve is in God.” There is oinz to be a great change in many & life from this time on. You are a man of sense, you are a woman of sense, let us talk about these things in a reasonable and sensi- ble " S“What wait 1 for.” One man says. “T will tell you what T am waiting for; X aun waiting for fime to cousider this great uestion; it i5 a momentous guestion, it is ne biggest question in the world, | don't ant Lo be hurried into it, 1 believe in pru- aution and 1 dow’t want to be wa ‘what!

The Lord does not want you todeprive vourselves of anything that is good. Wil you quit the things that are hurting you. That is the question, He don’t delight in ng me make & sacrifice, but he wants me to quit those things that are hurting me and that through my example are hurting others. That s it Brother, if you want to wait until_you get it 50 you can fell lies and steal and get drunk and do anything and get to heaven, when you ot to heaven you would have to lock up everything when you visited around just as 0 nhere to keep people from stealing vihing they v‘mll‘d get their hands upon. What would you think of_tha You want to quit your meanness, You don’t want to quit yours, Some of you don’t want to quit cheating, and some of you don't want to quit persecutine, Brother, is it not the best for God to make a man come up out of the dust and SIAKE TIE DEVIL'S FLEAS off of him and propose to be decent before He takes him. Now is not that better, Some of us have never shaken them off, “No," said a man, “I know the terms are resonable, L know it is right for me to quit ('\vxfllnngth'.n is wrong, that sets a bad ex- ample for my childr [know the terms are all right, but 1 will tell you what I am waiting for.” 1am waiting for the enurch to et rieht,”” Now let me tell vou in the first place right here. 1 tell you old fellow vou will be in_hell a million years before that time ever comes, Now you pat that down, if that IS what' you are waiting for no Waiting for the church to get right. You remember Jesus chose twelye disciples and + of them had a devil, and ret me tell you 1can find a chured in this country that has eleven good members and one bad one they are in the apostolic Prn)mrlinn. There 15 nodonbt about that. [don’t know what you fellows are everlastingly talking about these trifling fellows in the church for we got them from the jaws and you can have them back when you want them. Wo have made adead failure of them, and here you are growling because some of YOU GOATS HAVE JUMPED over amony the sheep. You can have them back whenevor you want them, and we will pay you to take them back. Waiting for the eliireh to get right, there is hardly a~ sinner in this town but is ‘mad _at some member of the church, says he is a_hypocrite, I talked to him about’ his religion, he says, Mr. Jones, the trouble is the hypocrites are in the way, Brother, don’t you know that a fellow ean't be In your way unless he is aheadot_you, did you ever of that? If the hypocrites are ahead of you, you are the lowest down fellow Tever saw. (Applause.) Another man says, I am waiting for feel- ing, andas soon as Iget feeling then I am comine.” Waiting for feeling! Is that the truth yon have told? - Suppose, now, a fellow was going to Chicago by feeling: 1 will show you how he would work "I'here is your neighoor, he is going to Chicago this week ; comes back. You say, *What sort of a time did you have®” “Very good, but just ten miles this side of Chicago 1 got deathily sick. Lnever felt so sick in my life, I had to raise the window and push my head out for prac- tical ‘purposes. I never was sosick in my life.” “And next week you propose to go. You get on the train, you see it is the Roek Island, you see it isthe right road, you are passing the right stations all along the line, and when you get_just ten mites this side of Chicawo yo I"am not sick, 1 don’t teel ast sick; 1don't believe 1 am going to 0, STOP THIS TRAIN Wiiat for” L want to y ou are going there forty miles an_ nour.” “No L ain't.” “How do you know ¥ “Because my neighbor told me when hie cot ten miles from Chicago he got deathly sick, and I don't feel the Jeast the world.

A man stops and asks how he is feeling along the road, you never m: bigger mistake in your life. ‘Another man I am waiting until am fit, the trouble is Tam not fit, if 1 was I would come in in aminute.” You can take the most intelligent man in Omaha, a law- yer, and the most ignorant white man or col- ored man and they’ both talk § that subject. You meet that gnoran col- ored man to-morrow and say, “Uncle Tom, are you a member of thé church?” “No sah" “Why?” “Because I not fitten.” Meet that lawyer ten steps furtherand say, “Are ou a_member of the churl 0 sir.” “Why?” “Because I am not 'hey both talk fust exactly alike.

Come up here and get fitten, ' No, lam not fitteu to get fitten. (Laughter.) Now, my brother, what in the name of 'sense can you do with a man that talks that way. Listen, what fitness Le requires is that you feel your need of Him, that Is it. Brother, if you can show mea man that is not fit I can show you & man that is not invited at all.

Lwantto know that 1 ill get through before I stop.” “Well let_us look at that a moment. 1 can illustrate this better in this way. In Atlanta the Central depot is in the heart of the city. My town is fifty miles up the W. & A. railvoad, the state railroad from Atlanta to Chatanooga, Just before our train started 1 walked down to the depot. ‘I'he engine was standing there out from under the depot not coupled to the train. A tine, beautiful looking engine it was, thought I would walk around the engine and look at it. I was waiking around the engine and the engineer got down from oft his en- ine and commenced oiling ‘it. Directly he looked up at the fireman and said “have ” you ot steam enough to start with,” and the fire- man said “yes,” In @ minute he got up on his engine, Teversed his lever, coupled on to the eight or ten coaches, rang the bell and moved out. When the tireman answered the question “hive you - got steam enough,” and he said * L pfl"]mnl around at the gage and saw that he had thirty pounds of sieam. I'sald is it possible that this engine is going to start out on a trip of 140 miles with these ten passen coaches and only thirty pounds of steam? She started out of Atlanta and before she got to Chattanooga—seven miles—when the train was going around the curve, 1 looked out of the window and saw the engine blow- ing off steam. She had steam enough to start with and when they got seven wmiles they had Wore steam than they wanied. Supposo lie bad staid there iu Atlanta until be got enouzh steam to run to Coattanooga. If he had done that the engine would have been blown all to pieces. All he wanted was enough to start with. “Afellow out there says “it | had enough religion to take me through to heaven I would start to-night,” If you were to « et enough religion to to take you to heaven it would blow you into ten thousand pieces, you could not'bold it What does a poor sinner wantall he wants is re ligion enough to start with, You see that gine generated steamn faster running than standing still, and I tell you you will gener- ate religion faster running than standing still, 1f you enough to start with, PULL THE UULE WIDE OPEN and move out towards God. You say how much 15 enough to start with. I can tell you “right is right, and L will do it.

The Tons That Have Found Market in Omaha, As nsunal during the Thanksgiving week there has been a glut of poultry, and the only thing that has saved thou sands of pounds of it from being a total loss has been the continued cool weather, [he receivts were far heavier than ever before on this market, and only those whose business requires them to visit the commission houses can form any idea of the vast amount of poultry shipped in for Thanksgiving ainner. One firm alone, as their receiving books will show, had ten tons of poultry consigned to them during the week. Nebraska, Kan Dakota and Towa all sent liberal consignments (o the Om market. As might be ex- pected when there was such a deluge of poultry, the market weakened and deal- ers were obliged to get rid of their re- ceipts as best they conld. One thing is very noticeable t year, and is at the same time hard to explain, the averago quality of the poultry was not up to the standard. Not only was n great deal of it poor in flesh, but it was also pootly dressed and in bad condition for a city market. A great deal of the best poultry did not arrive uutil it was too late for the Thanksgiving trade, and as the demand is always very light for several days fol- lowing that day it will have to be sold at very low prices. ‘The ability of the coun- try to produce poultry appears to be im- proving more rapidly than the ability ot of the city to consume it. In addition to that, Omana has gained a tion as being a first-cla drawing consignments of produce from a much more extended territory As very few people have much of idea of the importance of poultry raising in this country, 1t may not be out of place in this connection to give a few facts gieaned from the census reports. The oflicial report for 1883 shows that the wheat product of that year was worth $488,000,000; the cotton product, §410,- 000,000; the dairy product, $254,000,000. But the poultry roduct worth £560,000,000, almost half again as large as the cotton product, and larger than both the iron and steel product put together, Still it is not half as large as it ought to be. In 184 we imported 15,000,000 dozen of eggs worth $2,677,000. Think of Ger- m:\n{ sending us over 2,000,000 dozens, and China over 1,000,000, If western poultry raisers would take more pains with preparing th sultry for the market, and would take the trouble to keep informed upon the re- quirements of the city trade, they would not only benelit themselves by receiving better prices, but would als enefit ting the city dealers and consumers, A HOUSE WARMING, Toft Kntertaina a Number ot His Friends. The eclegant new house of Mads Toft, on Fairview street, was the scene last night of a house-warming at which a large number of the friends of the genial host aud hostess were present. The spa- cions mansion was thrown open early and before 10 o’clock was fairly filled to overflowing with the guests who had been invited. After the various features of the new residence had been fully in- spected by those present, a supper was ved at which there was an abundance of good things to eat and drink. Short toasts were proposed in the course of the banquet, which were wittily responded to by a number of speeches. One pleus- ant~ feature of the evening was th presentation of 2 beauti- ful K. of P. charm, lady employes of Mr. Lo store. was turned over to the host by J. L. Shropshier, with a neat specch; which was feelingly responded to by Mr. Toft. The musical part of the evening’s pro- gramme was furnished by Mr. Jasper ackson, a colored singer, who enter- tertained his hearers by the rendition of two jubilee songs. Shortly before the gathering broke up, Mr. Toft referred briefly to the fact that s house, of which e felt so proud, had n constructed entirely by home arti- ans. Mr. Lietz, of the firm of I'. KL Ells & Co., had designed the plans, the work of construc had been done under the supervision of J. Neison, Ahequist had done the tinning work, J. J. Sullivan had put in the heating ap: paratus, and so on. The interior decora- tions and furnishings had aiso been pur- chased in Omaha, he said. ‘Tne house which is really an elegant structure s & roomy, spacious three story mansion. Itcombines the desirable features of comfort and convenience. The interior is furnished in oak and pol- ished hard woods, and throughout no ex- pense has been spared to make evertiin, first class.

Gilbert's charming ™ mythological drama, entitled, Pygmalion and Galitea, Leading newspapers in both Miss Moore's own country and in this have complimented her presentations in_the highest way, especially her *‘Pauline’ and “Gualatea,” and other famihar but difficult charaeters, in all of which she is spoken of as being truly idealisti In the language of another: Adclaide Moore is one who deserves Lo kindliest considevation, m that her work has the eharm of an honesty of purpose, a purity of intent, and gives an ur- ance that she is not here to hawk her beauty as the catch-penny of success, nor to climb to notoriety on'the steps of seandal. Let us bhaye from the English stage more women of Miss Adelaide Moore's character and aspirations, and fewer of those of the class who come to us whose chief recommendation is not so much their talent as their boast of the patronage of the titled roues who haunt the stage doors of the London theatres.” en Mr. M. gi Lmportant Railroad Change. Beginning ou Sunday next, November 28, the Chicago, St. Paul, Minveapolis & Omaha railroad is to make a change in the runving of trains, whieh will be greatly appreciated hy the Omaha pub- lic. Heretofore this road has run no Sunday passenger trams, and 10 order to reach Blair and points ia the northern part of the state on the line of the Fre- mont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley road, passengers have been obliged to take an early dummy to Council Blufls, going from there to Missouri Valley and again crossing the rivér, By the new arrange ment, however,"passengers go _direct to Blair from Omaha, Train 2 is to leave this city at 8:15a. m., and will arrive at Blair in time tomake connection with the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley train for the west. Train 1 will also leave Blair at 4:40 p. m_arriving in Omaha at 5:45 p. m. This will be not only a great convenience to passengers, but the read- of the Bre in Blair and along the slkhorn Valley will also be benefitted Heretofore, owing to the round-a-bout course, the .\Im.}i ¢ papers frequently failed to reach their readers in the north on the day of publication, but the new arrangement will entirely obviate this dificulty. Sm'other Smith, C. J. Smyth, member elect of the legis- islature, is in trouble. In the police court news of the Bet a few dayvs was an account of one C.J.

Mr. Smyth’s friends began twitting him_about the affair, and he, considering it a rather a good joke him: self, took no measures to dei that he wasd the unfortunate lover referred to in the notice. Unfortunately a good many people became in earnest in the velief that Smyth was the guilty man; his lady friends have been chillingly formal; and his friends east have been writing for an explanation. On purely humane grounds i\!r Smyth’s friends ought to let up on i, ago A Domestic’s Complaint. Maggie Morton, n domestic, made o complaimnt before Judge Stenberg yester- day afternoon against John Baumeister, who runs a boarding house near the cor- ner of Eleventh and Harney streets.

THE THIRD NEBRASKA CITY How Hastings Has Boomed and Her Big Increase in Population, AN ANTI-LAIRD NEWSPAPER Chance Gathering of Railroad Poli- ticians and Their Peculiar Actions and Sayings—Enterprise Which Will Not Work. What a Correspondent Gathered. Mixves, Neb, Nov. 25.—[Correspon- dence of the Bek.|—If the good people of Grand Island will allow the remark, [ will state that Hastings 18 the third ecity of Nebraska. This year has witnessed a arger and more substantial growth than the most ambitious real estate agent ex- wected, while business men and property owners are surprised at the wonderiul transformation wrought within the last twelve months. New, magnificent and many residences have been erected. Strangers have actually “poured” and adopted the city as their home, while all agree that “'still there’s more to fol low.” ANEW NEWSPAPER will make its appeatance in a short time, unless almost matured plans miscarry, and then the last “long feit want™ will be relieved, and with the few exceptions mentioned helow, the populace will he bappy.

A chronie grumbler, whose reeord for | eroaking would make the “wartiest™ ol toad on earth take to the water, told me in all confidence that the postoflice build ing was not large enough, and the authorities should knowit. A calmer and more self-possessed man claimed that there was ample room. Another grumbler thought the postmaster should not allow newsboys to sell papers in the lobby. It was generally agreed by all good people that the police should inte fere and not allow a few *“‘women of *the town'' to loiter in the same lobby with respectable girls and buys—giving, « their reason, that the influence was Outside of these few complaints town goes along avoiding cls 3 i sure, accounts for its pros- perity. The eitizens are active- and tiberal, all pull together, and the won- derful growth of Hastings would be a «ood topic for citizens of other towns to Study.
