A leak in the Franklin streot water main ‘was roported to the waterworks manager yestorday, but an investigation by Chief Engineer Birkenbine showed that the trouble was caused in an aitogether different manner, The snow thawing in Palmer's glen caused a large quantity of water to flow down Franklin street. At the point woere the water main ends the surface water had entered the pive diteh, and fol- lowed the pipe underground to Voorais street, where it again rose to the surface, about thirty feet east of Franklin street. « This guve the appearance of a very big leak, the stream that issued bemg fully as large as a man’s leg. A much larger quantity of ‘water than followed the water pipe disap- neared alongside of 8 sewer man hole, but where it found an outlet was & mystery, as iv did not entor the sewer and no outlet could be found within several blocks of the place. Dums were built, turning the water 1o the east side of K'ranklin street, and red lights were put up, as the street was rendered dangerous for travel, Ore inquisitive individual who desired to examine the cavern into which the water was pouring found himself in the water up to his waist before he realized what was the matter, and but for assistance would have fignu down like McGinty.

The € ng Street’ Out. The Chautauqua folks are protesting sgainst the disposition of some of the prop erty owners on roads leading out of the city to have the 83,000 recently appropristed by the city council aud board of county super- visors so divided up as to be expended on all the rouds leading out of the city. The effect of this would be that the Canning street grade on the road to the Chautauqua grounds would uot be sufficiently lowered as to ren- der it available for motor purposes, The Chautauquans are very anxious to have the motor line extended to the Chautauqua grounds, and at present there is uo available or practical route, as the grades are altogether too steep. The understanding ‘was whea vhe money was appropriated that it was to be used on certain roads, three in pumber, in which caso the work done would be of some practical benefit. It is claimed that a cut of fifteen feet on the Canning hill would make a 5% per cent grade, which can be climbed by u motor, although it is de- sired to have this hill cut down about twenty-five feet. It Is usserted that the Madison street route is not feasible, as it would be a long, roundabout way and would not ve adopted by the motor company. It is the intention of the Chautauqua leaders to submit the question to the stockholders of the motor compuny at the anvual meeting, to be held tomorrow, and if uny encourage- ment is given worl in the interest of » ma- terial cut of the Canning stieet hill will be pusbed with redoubled vigo e ——— Mrs, C.

Dr. Cooley of the First Baptist church uddressed a large congregation yes- terday morning on the subject of *“Cleansing from Sin.”" The text was found in the fifty- third Psalm, seveath verse: ‘‘Purge me with:hysop ana I shall be clean; wash me and I shall be whiter thun snow.” This is the prayer of tho Christian. Tt must be the prayer of all who would escape the consequences of sia. What is iuvolved in the petition! A consciousness of one's own guilt. 3in is uncleanness and defilement before God, and holiness is moral purity. The heart that delights in sintul desires, in unholy thoughts and wicked acts, is polluted. We must be conscious of all this bofore we can truly put up this prayer. And this sense of sinfulness we can not have until the spirit opens our eyes. We cau see the sins of oth- ers without the illumination of the Holy Spirit, but we cannot see our own, But sin and guilt in general are not enough to be felt. Solong as we placo ourselves with others in guilt there can bo no deep contri tion. We must not say, “‘Us miserable sin- ners,” but we must say “‘Have mercy upon me.” This was the case with David, aund the publ This 18 true penitence. ‘I'his petition includes also the aesira to be cleansed. It is not enough to know that we are vile, but we must abhor and loathe vile- ness. Wicked men will acknowledge their wickedness, but have no desire to bo cleansed. So with the demons and lost spirits. Such a prayer has never been offered in hell, and nover will be. It was not the prayer of the rich man, Tho prayer of the text comes from one who has an abiding and an intense desire to be made pure. This petition iccludes the realization that our uncleanncss 18 100 deep to be removed by our own efforts, It is not outward defile- ment, but 1€ penetrates to the lowest depths of our nutures. David was born in iniquity, 80 that his body, inteliect. motives, desires and affections were all affected. He could do nothing for himself. So the sinner, by reforming his habits, can do himself no good. This 18 true both of the awakoned ana the backslider, ‘This prayer includes faith in God. We never call a physician to our sick beds unless wo have faith in_ s skill; so we pray to God, believing in His power and His willing- ness to save great sinners. He invites this prayer and He has never sent a contrice soul away empty. This prayer ncludes the desire to be, wholly cleansed. David did not desire to bd made a little better, but wholly pure, whiter than snow, the common emblem of purity. God has answered this prayer, aud the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, purges from all sin, This prayer shows thatthis cleansing must be effected with blood. **Without the shed- ding of blood there can be no remission of sins.” Tho whole Jewish economy showed this. The paschal lamb, the sacrifice, the offering for leprosy, all were in line with this prayer of David. ‘The blood of Jesus was shed to purge us, and He urges us to be washed with its pu fying flood. Nothing is easier than salva- tion. Nothing can be obtained more surely. Both the Father and the Son havo taught us to pray. Mercy and salvation surround us, and we need bul to open our arms and hearts to receive it. —_— The Council Bluffs Insurance companys’ average annual income since organization has been £120,000.00.

A Passenger Tries in Vain to Be Agreeable to the Conductor. As the train left Dayton, south bound, the conductor came “into the smoking car with a cry of “'Tickets, please!” and as there was only one fresh passenger he walkea directly up to n. This new arrival was from the farm, and in golhlm: of a hurry, says the New York Sun, “What's up, kurnel?” he asked, as the conductor halted before him. “Ticket, sir!” “Yes. Issheon time?” “Yes " “Going right to Cincinnati?” *Yes, - Ticket, if you please.” “I had o ticket, but—, Sn)', how'’s ,wheat looking along this line?” “*Give me your ticket.” ““‘Wonder where Iput it! Been much rain berween here and Hamilton this month? Feller was telling me yester- day that he never——" “I’m 1n a great hurry, sir!” exclaimed the conductor. *'Shoo! Haven't got any hay out at the other end of the line, have you? I £ot caught once last week, and me’n Bill had to work like nailers to beat a thunderstorm.” 1 Have you got a ticket?” *Of course.” “Then hand it over atonce! fool away my time here!” “*Shoo!l Wall, here’s the ticket,and I want a receipt for it, Feller in such a hurry as you are might die suddenly.

It was hoped that the commercial men’s department in THg BEeE could start out this week with the publication of a call for a meeting of traveling men to be held 1n Omaha for the purpose of organizing the association or club re- garding which much has been said during the past few months, and par- ticularly within the last two weeks. The hope that such a notice would have been forthcoming was based upon state- ments amounting almost to positive surances made to a representative of Tue B on last Thursday by Mr. C. D. Lobeck and a number of other prominent representatives of the intercsts of traveling men in this scction of the county. There probably is some very good reason why the cafl was not arranged for, possibly owing to the fact that the gentlemen most inter- ested in the move wero unable to get together last weck, it having been learned yesterday that those traveling out of Omaha have seldom found them- selves so far removed from each other ypened to bo the case during the past four days. There scems whatoever but that a will be Theld within few days. According to the very p ain and enthusistic opinions gathered from a large number of trav- cling men, printea from time to time in an organization such as has reested and quite fuily outlined id be of incalcalable benetit in ve many ways, and would moet with mos hearty support when once started. Tie BEE solicits the opinion of those traveling men who have not yet been seen on the subject, and will be glad to print suggestions as to what a traveling men’s club or association, with head- quarters in Omana, should be. Every gentleman traveling out of Omaha is urged to respond in this matter 1n time for publication next Monday wmorning. 50 doubt mecting the next to be mwo S tag Theatricals, The people of Springview, Neb., were royally entertained by the following drummers one evening lust week, when they presented 11 Hanna’s novel bur- lesque," LaGrand GoZo,” with this cast: Go Zo, the Outcast, .

SALT LAKE, Jan. 20.—To the Editor of Tne BEE: We seldom see anything in THe BEE from Salt Lake, yet this country is practically alive with travel- ing men of the most sociable class of boys on the road. This territory is so far away from Omaha that we feel some- what isolated, as it were; yet we don’t lose our cast or identity with Omaha whea the monthly stipend is due or time for the annual vound-up ap- proaches. Commencing with 1890 the following gentlemen have thus far put in an appearance as representatives of Omaha houses: John Beatty, jr., with Kirkenaall, Jlonas & Co., has headquarters at Og- den. C. H. O’Bsien, with M., E. Smith & Co., headquarters ut Ogden. J. G. Gleason, with Kilpatrick-Koch Dry Goods Co., Salt Lake City. C. S, Brown, with Omaha Hardware Co.,at Ogden. A. H.

He is taking to it quite naturally though and cun already approach a Z. C. M. L. buyer, slap him on the shoul- der and say, ‘“‘Brother, what wouldst thou?” D. P.

Joe Scott, with the Consolidated coffee company, has had his territory extended so he takes in Utah this year, This puts **Old Butch,” the war horse of the Elkhorn, into the Black Hills territory that Scott bad last year.

Knnpfi, with THE OMANA BEE, is in Salt Lake City helping boom the town, and says if business keeps up the way it is now a corner lot anywhere in Zion would tickle the boys in two years’ time. He has his clutches on twenty acres between the city and the lake, und expects big returns within the next year or so. Mr. Peycke of Peycke Brothers. Omuha, is in Salt Lake taking in the situation; don’t know whether with a view to establishing a branch house here or that of investment. In either event ne could not make a mistake, Nat Brown of the Merchants, also Jim Stevheuson, both of Omaha, have been spending a couply of days hoere and in Ogden. They left for Denver about Monday. Very respectiully yours, “ONE oF THE BoYs,” V. Morse & Helphray on Rollars, W. S. Helphrey, the Booth oyster man, has a great relish for practical jokes. One night last week he was in Nebraska City, and in the evening visited the roller-skating rink, whe:e he procured a pairof skates, and started out. He stumbled about over the floor a little while, and then fell heavily to the floor, where he lay grouning and holding his right leg with both hands, The floor manager van to his assistance ann helped him to a chair, where Helphrey still continued to moan and bold his leg. The manuger, thinking that Helphrey was seriously injured, dispatched a messenger for a physician. The messenger had hardly renched the door when Helphry, without a word, T sprang out on the floor and performed some of the most difficult feéats ever attempted on f6llers. The floor man- ager aud spoctators hardly knew what to think, but it finally dawned on their minds that the¥ wore the victims of a hoax, and all joined in a hearty encore. The rink manager joined in the laugh and made Ih\‘.|‘|‘f)m-y a handsome offer if he would remain in the city and give an_exhibition the next night, but “Oyster” refused. M. Helphrey ran a rink in Omaha s pars g0, A Detroit drusmner who lately made a trip into Indiana, says the Free Press, put up at a hotel in & small town one night to find the fare the very poorest, the beds the very worst he ever saw, and the house run such a way as to amaze him.
