The committee appointed by the city council to go east in the interests of the Chautauqua assembly has returned, having accomplished all that was ex- pected on this trip. Their mission was 10 sceure the co-operation of the various railways centering here and to do some other preliminary work of this nature. They were very fortunate in sec urln;,' personal interviews with nearly e one of the men whom they desired to see, without any of those annoying de- lays which are so usual in affairs of this kind. Most of the managers were for- tunately at their offices, and there was not one but gave the matter a careful hearing, and promised kindly consider- ation. The committee were very pleas- antly received on all hands and cour- teously treated. The importance of the enterp ent, and the out- look for its suce to strike the railroad men with favor, and the com- mittee was assurcd that the matter would be f; and promptly consid- ered. The committee report that they accomplished all they expec the mission was by the prospect being brighter for the es tablishment of a real Chautaugua than ever, Mayor Rohrer proved a host in him- self. He is an enthusiastic worker for all enterprises which tend to build up the eity enterprise, reaching out for still hroader results, he threw much z seuring for it such port as w its grand suce ness, who has been very <-ulh\l- in the movement, and h much time and strength into it, was astrong member of the seceretary of the assembly association, ng done much to bring the en? e thus far along. Colonel Tul- [§ mt of the association, was » one of the committee. He aided greatly in properly presenting the matter to the officials whom the com- visited, and then left for the east. being called there on important private busin D. W. Archer, one of the most energetic of the busines of the city, was also on the but unfortunately, after |ml| ing the busing had to forsake Rock Island, was also on the committee and was of no little aid. N After attending to the hand, Mayor Rohver 8 to Mayor Roche, of Chicago. Chicago's mayor treated the visitors in a very courteous manner, and though crowded with besiness demands, took time to show them such matters as would be of interest. and would prove of value to Council Bluffs’ ma 3 i s of this city. Chief five department, was also very kind and arranged for giving Mayor Rohrer and his comrades a showing of the workings of the department, but the terrible storm came up and interfered, Mr, Barrett, the veteran electrician, showed the visitors all the workings of his de- partment, and gave them all needful in- ovmation. The committee went from Chicago to St. Louis to there interview other offi- cials. They were met with like encour- agement, and then Mayor: Roher im- proved his spare moments in calling upon Mayor Francis. This official re- ceived him and_his companions very courteously. The arrungements were made for Chief Lindsay of the fire de partment to show how quickly the boys could turn out. The visitors were on their way to the engine house to see the test made, when they heard the bell tap, and quicker than it can be told one steamer after another went fiying past, until they had counted seven. They thought ihe display a good one for so short notice, and their bewilderment was only cleared up when they discoy- ered that the exhibition was not for their benefit, but that a real fire had broken out and an alarm been sent in. The fire was a big one and the boys put in their time in the more practical work of putting it out, which they did well. The test was not such a one as they were looking for, but they were weil satisfied. On the way home Mayor Rohrer and Mr. Harknéss stopped at St. Joseph. Dr. Doyle, who is mayor of that city gave the visiting mayor generous oppol tunities for observation, and the gm\lw ing up of information from the various departments. John Brady, chief of the police, Chief M. Kane, of the fire depar ment, and other officials, did all in the pu\\u' to make the brief stay a pleasant one. It was here that they had the pleasur too, of meeting Harry Curtis, who recently resigned the scerotaryship of the Y. M. C. A, here, to accept a like position at St. Joseph. They found Mr. Curtis getting into his new work with every prospect of making it a grand sucecss, The new building occupied by the association there cost $85,000, and is complete in all respects. - A Sermon Upon Liberality. Dr. Phelps, at the Preshyterian church preached an instructive and practical sermon yesterday. The points presented ave especially approprinte at this time and will be read by the read- ers of the BEE with interest. The sub- jeet was “Liberality,” expressed in the words of Paul in IL. Cor., Fol- lowing the introduction the speaker said: Paul was writing this letter to the church of Corinth. He had organized it, had preached to it nearly two years and had ever since been deeply inter- ested in it. He urges its members to be liberal, There was a special call for liberal giving just then in the fact that the poor christians were suffering down in Judea and Jerusalem. Besides this Paul urged four considerations, 1. The example of the christians throughout Macedonia. They were very poor. Their business was broken up ‘through the persecutions of both Jews and Pagans, They were dviven ated, hunted; prop- avily taxed, deso- wars) burdened by e couquerors, and yet vond their ed Paul to lated by the civil the tribute to thei they gave. Th power, and earnestly 13 receive it and take from them to the poor at Jerusalem. There is an exam- |||\~ heve that we may well study. He urged that the other grae gence and love; they ought to abound in this grace also. The christian char- acter is not symmet it be lib- eral. A stingy christian is a contradie- tion in terms. 8. He urged the example: of Christ as stated in the text. 4. Heurged the motive -of gratitude. Christ became thus poor. for. your sakes, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MON T take occasion, in connection with our ‘annual -contribution to for- eign. missions to-day, to urge you to. be liberal. I have mnot ound you lacking in this. You have given gencrous responses to every ap- peal that I have made, still permit me to press the subject upon your attention in the following considerations: 1. We need. God does not_need any man's money if He chose to do without it. But He'gives man_an opportunity to co-operate with Him in saving the world. = Such co-operation requires money. Just now the doors are open to the gospelin all the earth, and millions of heathen are calling for it. Men and women stand ready to take n to them, \lmu'\ then, is needed. I know th calls, especially on you You speak of the “everlasting giving, but 1 desire to everlastingly preach this “everlasting giving” as long as I live. 2.1 plend your example as indi- viduals, Your name on a subseription paper and the amount of itor the absence of your name affects the whole subsc ‘ tion. Asa church your example tells in this community, in this presbytery and throughout the state. 3. The pecuniary benecfit of liberal giving. n new a man to grow poor by conscientious giving. We read of one poor widow whose oil and meal were kept from failing through a famine of two and a half years by sharing it with others at the” commandment of the Lord. “Thereis that scattereth and vet increaseth, and there is that which holdeth more Lhnu is meet and it tend- s-lh to pover 4. The sat {m-uon of being liberal instead of stingy and of aiding the poor and every good cause. 5. The spiritual benefit, The liberal soul is made. There is intimate connection between good and good, as there is between gold and greed and between gold and guilt. It isan instinct of our nature to give as seis, It is an et of worship, 1t is ])\ ing to God and ;:lm'llu I plead the closing cons gratitude for what C| hrm. has done for us. Though so rich He became poor; so poor that we, through His poverty, might become rich., He was that babe in Bethlehem, which knew only a manger for a bed. He was that carpen- ter at ) m-n-rn.sumun-nnw Himself and His widoweg mother by His trade. His poverty incTudes H s humiliation which involves all His suffering which was far greater than we know. The speaker closed with a number of touching anccdotes, illustrating liberal giving and enforcing the uppeal. Guns of all l\m(h at Odell & Bryan 604 S. Main St. - On the market for over twenty years.

Hopeless Sn'nggl(’ Against Cold and Storm. Frank Wilkeson in New York Times: The Tolles vealized that they had to have coal. They had lost their crops and were as poor as their neighbors. To buy coal it was necesss to take a portion of the small sum of money they had sacredly laid aside to meet th penses of the coming of a longed-for child, For several days they hesitated to draw from this store; then a sharp, cold night, during which the north nd blew keenly, warned them to pre- pave, as winter drew nigh. The next morning John Tolle hitched his incum- bered horse to his mortgaged wagon and drove thirty miles to town to buy conl. Arrived there he found many other settlers, all of whom were poorly clad and in financial straits, in town after fuel. All told the same story: Cow chips to burn, no solid fuel, almost a total failure of crops and hardly any money. These hardy men discussed the danger which lurked in coming bliz- zards freely, as there were no women there to be alarmed. There was no coal in the town. They surrounded the empty bins and demanded—and there was menace in their tones—of the dealer why he had no coal. “Gentlemen,” the dealer $4] ordered 500 tens of coal weeks ago. The railroad company will not haul llu- fuel for me.” He was silent for an instant, then, in further explanation, said: **You sce, the directors of this corporation own the controlling interestin the ¢ mines in the Rocky mountains and in Missodri, on the output of which we de- pend for fuel, This railroad company will not supply cars to free mines. The corporation has resolved to put up the price of coal, and they are deliberately creating a natural scareity of coal so as to be able to charge higher prices for it at the mines. They are preparing to form a western coal lru»t “Great heavens, man!” the settlers exclaimed as one man, **we raised noth- mg this year. We have neither grain nor stock to sell. Our teams and tools are mortgaged. We caunot raise any more money. How does the company t\\]n‘n'l us to pay increased prices for P2 Main st. said, Bl “That is just the trouble,” the dealer replied bitterly; **you plmhu't-ll nothing You supply no outgoing S0 you must p extra for in- coming supplies. At least that 1s the way I look at it. See here, men,” he ml\?ud sardonically, *‘you have mort- gaged your land and chutiels, and spent the money in improvements and in 1i ing. Don’t yousee that the railr corporation can make no further profit out of you? The sooner you are forced to quit the land the sooner other men, who will afford better plucking, will o cupy your places, That is about the size of the thing,” he added, as he nod- ded his head ml\p)u\livu\ly at them, All the settlers talked and thought and acted, so did John and Mary Tolles. One morning, a week after John had re- turned coalless from town, the south wind was blowing briskly when they awoke. It whistled rather mournfully, asis the wont of vapor-laden winds, around their small house. They arose and_dressed, and walked out onto the praivie. The sky was cloudless, but hazy. As they talked of the future they heard a low, faint roar, as though a distant sea foamed on a sandy shore. ily the voar grew louder and loude: he dog howled mournfully outside, The cattle lowed plaintively.” The Tolles sat up to listen. Then with a crash the wind whipped into north, The rain drove furiously 1inst the frail house and blew through tiny cracks in spray over them. Their house shook and trembled. Gustsof wind blew down the stovepipe and caused the light ashes to fly in jets out of the openings in the sl\)\v({unl as though the stove were a mighty pulf ball that was squeezed by unseen hands, The dull sound pro- duced by falling rain was speedily re- the sharp rattle ull hail beat- ust the house, Then ice parti- and fine snow began to sift into the room. Louder and louder the storm raged, until the air pesounded with the voice of outraged nature. It grew ¢older and colder, The young people trembled in bed. Th"i piled all their clothes on their blankets, and there they luv and shook through the night. Tolles were experiencing their flrnt bliz- zard, As they suffered, and through sum-ring added to their seanty store of knowledge, their hearts burned with anger at the brutal wickedness displayed by the managers of the railrond company, men who knew the land and its climate, in not hauling coal to the towns along their rond for the settlers to buy. They quickly realized the folly of nll(*mptimi to keep the room warm with the fue they had. They resolved to hoard it to cook their conrse food. So,after making an unsuccessful attempt to get to their stock, and in making which they very nearly became lost in the storm, they went to bed. One day, two days, passed, and they suffered physically and mentally the while. \h('n they awoke on third morning the sun st |'0mm-d redly through the ice-coated eastorn windows. The blizzard had passed, the sky was cloud- Tess. It was intensely cold.” They arose, dressed themselves, and opened the door to look out. To the extreme of vi- sion the plains were white. All the ra- vines were drifted full of snow. ory familhar land mark had disappeared. The cattle shed in the ravine was almost cov- ered with tightly-packed ice and snow. After eating a s anty breakfast of corn meal and bacon the Tolles dug a patch of their cattle and watered and fed them, Then thoy carried straw to their house and rolled and twisted it into bundles to burn in their stove, but it afforded little heat, and the house was very cold. The next day the wind blew from the south, and it seemed to be colder than the north wind had been. The day after that the snow began to melt, and in two days it had disappeaved, ex- cepting in the ravines and draws. The meadow lark and sat on the vectly proclaimed 0on.

On the afternoon of the fourth lay after the blizzard a neighbor rode ) + house and as he ed he shouted to them that there was coal at the town. The young man determined to go town the following day. The next morning was a delightful December day on the plains, There was not a puv- ticle of wind. The grass, coated with hoar frost, glistened in the sunlight as though millions of tiny clectric light glowed on the prairie. The hors fed and hitched to the wagon.

Her fingers were too stiff to handle the fine needle she worked with., and the small white garments which she was making slipped from her lap and fell on the floor. By midnight the storm had passed and the bright stars shone on the snow- covered earth. The wind fell. Mary continued to feed the stove with bits of d wood furniture until the room be- came sufficiently warm for her to go to bed. The mattress lay on the unchopped floor close to the stove. She lay down and covered herself with the thin blan- kets, She could not sleep. She pictured her husband lost in the blizzard—how glad she was that she had given him the blanket. Then she saw him sleepin comfortably in a neighbor's house, uufi the wagon partially filled with lumps of coul stood outside-—-how good it looked. She argued with herself and tried to be cheerful, but there was o strange, unwonted pres- sure on her heart which would not be reasoned away. It inter- vals she slept fitfully, and visions rolled through her brain. She was up early, just as the whitish-g ight began to disappear. She was strangely weak and n bus, and she marveled at her con- dition. While she was trying to build a fire she heard the crunching of in- tensely cold snow as wagon wheels rolled over it. She arose and walked to the door, saying: hank God, he has come at last!"” She opened the door and saw the team of Illursv'a‘ with low-hanging heads, veavily approaching the house.
