VOICES FROM THE DARKNESS | Omaha Baptists Listen to Ories from India and Africa. RAISING MONEY TO CARRY ON MISSIONS Preachers Who Have Labored in the In- terior of Heathendom Talk on the Work and Its Needs—Omaha Gives Much M Every available sittipe in the First Bap- tst church was occupied yestorday morning at 10:30, and the large audience listenca for an hour and a half to Rev. John E. Clough, D. D., of Ongale, India. Prior to the address by Dr. Clough the congregation engaged in & prayer moetng, led by Rev. A. W. Clark. Rev. E. N. Harris of Beth Kden church prosided, and after charming music by the choir an invocation was offerod by Rev. G. Peck. A scripture losson was read by Rov. T. Stephenson and Rev. E. Wilcox offered prayer. Dr. Clough was then introducea by Rev. E. N. Harris, The famous missionary is a man of medium height, stoutly built and in overy word and movement a man of positive and forceful character. Religion In T He said the Hindoos were a very polite people. They would put the Americans to n. shame in that particular. India has been the birthplace of two great religions—Brahman- ism and Buddhism—and 200,000,000 peoplo bad been under the sway of those religions for centuries. Christianity had to fight its way inch by inch against these idolatrous religions. The Hindoos are a bright, brainy and shrowd peoplo, and they are not to bo easily persuaded to give up those forms of overament and religion that have been so long molding their minds, When the Hindoos once become converted to Chris tianity thoy are usually aggressive and en- thusiastio workers in the canse of Christ. “If the people of America don’t look out,” said Dr. Clough, “it will be necessary for the Hindoo converts to come over to New York and Chicago ana possibly to Omaha and preach the gospol of Christ. It would n)t suprise me much to see Hindoo missivn- aries preaching Christianity in this country before ten years,” Dr. Clough referred to the mission work at Ongale, when ho first went there twenty- six years ago. There were only twenty Hindoo converts at that timo at that mission. Now thero arc over 50,000 nativo Christians in that immediate territory. The spenker recounted the difficulties and disappointments counected with the work. He said the peoplo wero divided into four aistinct castes, and besides these thero were what thoy called ‘“no caste’ people, comprising about one-fifth of the entire pop- ulation. He found that the aristocratic peo- ple ¢id not want to have anything to do with missionaries who preached to or recognized the "*no caste people. Upon that point ho had gone through & very trying experience, but finally conquered the prejudices of the wealthy classes and all castes were becoming Chrstianizad together. One Brahman priest camo to Dr. Clough's tent, carrying all his idols, aud wanted to trade them for a bible, ‘“We had no trouble about making the swap,” sald Dr. Clough, *‘and he soon be- came a Christian missionary.” ‘What He Alms At, Dr. Clough is making a special effort to establish a High school at the Telugu mis- ¢ sion. It is the intention to raise a fund of £50,000 for this purpose. Mr. John D. Rock- efeller, has already subscribed 25,000 toward tho enterprise and other subscriptions of smaller sums have Leen secured. It is the intention to educate the chilaren of tho na- tives so that they will become practical living examples of what Christiunity can do for a people. Dr. Clough called for subscrip- tions for this particular purpose and the con- gregation responded liberally. At the afternoon session Bishop J. P. Newman presided before a large audionce. Musicwes furnished by the choir of the First Baptist church of Council Bluffs, Addresses were made by Rev. Joseph Clark of the Congo and Rev. J. E. Clough. African Mission Work. In his address Mr. Clark related many in- teresting stories of Africa, the customs of theinhabitants and how difficult it was ‘o make them understand that they should be Christians, He said that funerals were held with music, dancing, the beating of drums, and the participants or the attendants were dressed in holiday attire. They seemed to enjoy a deatn. The speaker referred to the moral laws of the Congo, which were ‘“Thou shalt not steal from me,’’ but that meant, he said, & man might steal if he could. Mr. Clark said that there was a space in the interior of Africa twenty times the size of tho state of Wisconsin that had no mis- sionaries, He thought the Christiaas of this country should send more missionaries there aud establish mission stations to educate the savages and heathe Rev. Mr. Clough, in his addres: people of this country were very fortunate to have been born hero where they haa all the advantages of learning and knowing about religion and the Divine Being. Raised Considerable Mone: ““You are in debt to God,” he said, by Him you have been blessed. Now, much are you thankful for” Dr. Clough then talked of the Hindoos and how they were convertod to Christianity. When once they were changed they nevor went back to their idols. Last night kev.

Speaking of the Indian soldiers, says the Rank and File, an army officor is quoted as saying; “I have scen them drilling and know just how it 1s done. The eye serves them in gotting the command of their superior ofi- cers, and not the ear. The men in charge of these troops have ‘caught on’ to this sign lan- Ruage; it answers their purpose and they are content. If it is desired to give the commgnd ‘Fours right,’ the lieutenant simply throws up four fingers, motions his hand toward the direction he wants the column to move, and It is done, One afternoon at drill [ saw this movement gone through in & way that proved ihe lndians were mere automatons and not reasonable men. The troop was being drilled AU the time, and the lieutenant in charge knowing the peculiarity of tne men, asked me to noto the result of his command. Throwing his hands in the air and showing the number of fingers for ‘fours right,’ the lieutenant shouted in & loud voice: ‘Our Father who art in heaven,’ No evidence of Any comprehension of the words was yisible 10 the faces of these ‘soldiers,’ butthey went mmufh Wwith the movement ®f ‘fours rigat’ to & nicety.” Good arinking water has become scarce at Fort Yates.

ROBBED BY A SHREWD BLACKMAILER BEE: MONDAY Rob a Tra andso to A Crew to n and arged MAm a N Fee <Efforts press the News, Sup- For two days last week Sam Snyder baunted the police station, but this time he was the nggrioved party, contrary to the usual state of affairs, Samuel will be readily recognized as the proprietor of an auction joint at Eleventh and Farnam street, who has beon arresied more times than he has fingers and toes for swindling peopla with more money than brains out of their hard earned savings by selling them the snidest kind of snide jew- elry on the ropresentation that it was the genuine article. The property was invaria- bly represented as an unredeemed pledge, and the sad roverses of the once wealthy owner who was compelled by adversity to part with his precious treasures were aiways dwelt upon atlongth as explain- ;nwahy an alleged $150 watch could be sold or 84 By dint of energy and hard rustling in his chosen line of operations, Mr. Snyder manuged to accumulate a neat little pile and could show a respectable bavk ao- count, all of which was known to a former city detective, now in business on his own hook, and who frequently figurea in the role of cavper for the enterprising pawnbroker. Mr. Snyder is also heels over head 1in love with the mighiy dollar, which was also known to the aforosaid detective,and thereby depends this sad narrative, Met A Man With a Scheme, Some four nights ago the detectivo called upon Mr. Snyder and told him in strict con- fidence that thoro was a gaug of tran rob- bers in the city and that they were going to do a job that would paa out $20,000 or $30,000. He also informed Mr. Snyder that if he so desived, he (Snyder) could get inon the ground floor and’ assist in disposing of the swag. To Mr. Snyder's discredit at the time and his prosent intense grief, 1t must be said that ho jumped atthe chance likea pickerel at a minnow, but for which he would be a richer man today, and this story would never have beon written. Snyder was only too willing to go into tho scheme, and without a thought of the future except of the golden reward that he expected it to bring, he promptly delivered himself into the hands of the Philistines, then and there reprosented by the detective aforesaid. He was led by the detective to a room, the location of which shall for the present romain a secret, and was there confronted by six masked men, who were introduced to him as the train robbers by whose operations ho ex- pected to benefit. He Rode the Goat. He was givea to understand that he must be initiated, and all through the night the in- itiation ceremonies:were continued. Snyder was made to take the most wonderful and hair curling oaths ybut he stood the ordeal without a murmur braced up by the hope of future reward. Some time after dag- ight the hidden trap \was sprung. Soydar was told that he would have to contribute £3,000 for his membership in the gang. Sam protested, as only & man with an innate pen- chant for money sould protest, that he hadn’t a dollar on earth, but it was of no use. The game was too strong for him. He was given to understand that they knew that he had money on deposit at the Omaha National bank and that he must draw it out for the benefit of the gang. Snyder was held a prisoner uotil the bank opened at 9 o'clock when he “was taken under guard 1o go and drawthe money, Three of the robbers, for such they proved to be, only on adifferent scale from wlrat the victim had been led to believe, showed huge revolvers, while a-fourth exhibited a big bottle of stuff that he called dynamite, but which migit have been an explosive or it might not, and told Sonyder that if he ‘made A move other than as he was directed, the bottle would be dropped and Sammgy’s soul would be wafted to the angels, Under these circumstances 1t is not at All surprising that Mr. Snyder became in the custody of his captors as passive as clay in the hands of a moulder, and ho marched to the bank like a3 little man, drew his check for 2,100, had 1t cashed and turned the money over to his interesting acquain tances. "This explains Mr. Snyder's many the police. station in the past fol nours, end his pilgrimages up and down the streets looking eagerly but ia vain to see if he could not recognize some of his compan- ions of that eventful night. Seavey Professes Ignorance, A Bee reporter interrogated Chief Seavoy Saturday regarding the . case, but the chief professed utter ignorance of anything of the kind. He protested that he had beard nothing of a train robbing story, and when aszed if Snyder bad not called upon him replied evasively that Snyder was about the station a great deal, Ho was asked if Snyder hud not complained of being robbed, to which he replied thut he had heard something of the kind but knew nothing about it. “But, chief,)’ persisted the reporter, “didn’t you hear that he was compelled to draw on his pank uccount” b, 1 beliove there was something of the kind,” was the impatieat answer, *‘and 1 told him to come back with his banlkk book and he hasn’t shown up since.” T'he chief ther left the room, only to reap- peara couple of minutes later with Mr. Snyder whom he stood up against the railin with tho remark that he had just come in with bis bank book. “Now then, Sam, have you been robbed " demanded the chief, Sam denied that he had suffered in any such manner. The chief then asked who had heea circulating any such stories, aud Sam protested that he knew nothing about it. “*Well, if you are robved,” said the boss policeman in gently reververating basso pro- fundo tones, *1 want you to come mo with it, and not go peddling the story wround to other folks,” May Never Catch 'E Exit Chief Seavey,after which Snyder hur- ried up to the reporter,tapped him nervously on tho arm, and requested that nothing bo said about 'the case, as it would prevent anytbing from being doue, whereas if let alone he migut be abie Lo do something, He roiterated this several times. His work was too coarse, however, and had oLiy the effect of undeing all the clever pan tomime work thatlisd boea executed by the chief to throw thecreporter off the track. Sam protested that it “would all come out to the top after a whilejust like water,” 1f only let alone uow, but he said that if anything was said now he would have to deny it He was interrogated by Deteotive Savage n a way that indicatea that the detective knew what he was talkingabout, but Snyder pro fessed 1gnorance forra while and then called Savage over in the eorner.

Telephone HARASSING THE MILITLA, Tennessee Miners Making Life a Burden for State Troops. KoxviLLg, Tean, Feb, 7.—There was no fight at Coal Croek lust night, the causo of the alarm being the surrounding of the militia camp by many miners, who opened an indiscriminate firing, hoping to put the sol- diers to flicht. They were disappointed, howover, as the troops returned the fire and the miners dispersed. There were several hundred shots fired, but no one was hurt. It was stated bere that the wires had been cut at Coal Creek. This was a mistako; they had simply grounded. o No gripping, no nausea, no pain when De- Witt's Little Iarly Risers aro taken.

The aim should be to secure not only industrious and skiilful men, but such as are of good habits und known to be trustworth This rare combination of quulities may be ditticult to find, but should be sought. Whether he needs one or several men, the farmer who has a family eannot be too particu- lar as to the moral ciuracter of whoever he employs. The better way is to ascer- tain fully as to the habits and anteced* ents of each mun before engaging him- and hence it is well to commence looking for help early in the season. Some farmers never hire an assistant without an investigation, except in an emer- geney—such as being short-handed in harvest—and hence usually secure and retain help that is competent and i factory. Such a course is w worthy of imitation by all desiring the services of men who are alike eflicient and trustworty. - Constipation poisons tne blood; DeWitt's Little Early Risers cure constipation, The causeremoved, the disonse is gone.
