The city has been keeping a free lunch route for the past day or two for the ocnefit of the Colorado excursionists who have been Ppassing through. Yesterday morning word was received at police headquarters that thirty of the tourists were in the IKansas City yards, just having arrived in an open freight car and in a starving condition. By order of Mayor Lawrence some of the police set out for the place loaded for hungry men. A barrel of bread, a couple of armfuls of bologna sausage and a lov of tobacco, the latter the gift of Fred Hansen, composed the menu, and it was set before the men who lit on it and devoured it with the greatest gusto, not having had anything to et for twenty-four hours. Their actions showed that they were by no means ordinary tramps, but really in need. They were orderly about the raiiway yards and would not even get a drink of water from tne neighboring houses without permission. Saturday night supper of the same kind was furnished to about fifty men in the Northwestern yards. ‘I'he men who com- pose these parties aro almost without ex- ception deserving of such charity as they have so far received.

Anderson, secretary of the Council Bluffs Insurance company, who spent several days last week in Colorado in company with George R. Wheeler and other Council Bluffs gentlemen who have interests there, gives it as his opinion that the present crisis in the Centeunial state will not be withou 3 ben- cficial off “It will g0 long ways to- ward forcing the abandonment of silver mining as the one exclusive industry of the state, andwill arive thousands of people into other enterprises that will be equally profitablo, and make a diversity of industries. Gold mining can be made just as profitablo as silver mining, has over been. The silyer mines required less effort and expense in aevelopment, and this, with the fact that they paid well, was suflicicut to monopolize capital and Lubor. But there is gold as well as silver in Colo- rado, and in some of the mines in the Silver Plume district, many of which are owned and controlled by Council Bluffs men, I pre- dict some astonishing strikes will be made that will help to turn the tide back to Colo- rado. One mine that Mr. Wheeler is inter- ested in shows vast quantitics of ore that run us high as §72 a ton in gold, and 22-karat gold at that. In this little district, less than ten miles square, there has been pro- duced annually £,000,000 in gold, and when the gold aeposits are worked as the siiver mines ha been llw output will be much eral of the Council Bluffs men very valuable gold properties which are developing.” 1e only thing that Mr. Anderson brought back from Colorado, except his confidence in the future of the gold camps. was o bunch of rattlesnake rattles an inch long, which he captured after a vigorous fight with the origiual owner. Some Kind Words fro Pomeroy. J. H. Grimel, a re-ident of Pomeroy, who was in the vicinity of the town when it was blown to pieces by the re- cent eyclone, was iz Council Bluffs yi terdav on a privato business mission, He geaphically describes the deadly storm, and while not a sufferer RQimself wis near enough to the point when total destruction prevailed to make it danger- ously interesting. He says that many buildings were destroyed that were o- cated entirely outside of the storm track, destruction coming from the fly- ing debris of wrecked building: “Bricks from chimaeys and walls,” said he, “'were hurled out of the vortex of the storm with the velocity of cannon bulls, penetrating und shattering the houses like u charge of shot striking an eggshell. People are recovering from the calamity rapidly. Thousands of dollars have been sent in besides the vast amounts paid by insurance com- panies. And by the way, the Council Bluffs Insurance company stands at the head up there, at the very top. It was the first company to pay a claim, and the only company, 1 believe, that did not wait to make some sort of com- promise with the unfortunate sufferers, The Council Bluffs company paid its claims in full in every case without a day’s delay, and I tell you they can write all the insurance in the vicinity of Pom- eroy, both fire and tornado, and in northwestern lowa that they can carry.” Inquiry at the home office in this city shows that this has been s wonderfully prosperous year for the Council Blu nsurunce Co.

He had a very fluent tongue, but its utterances wore not characterized by very much originality.

An “I told ¥Ou #0" or two was sprung on the audience in connection with the review of the declarations of the people's party plat- form on the money question, and_ he tried to show that the present financial crisis is not the result of a Inck of confidence, as Tiie Bee had stated editorially, but of a lack of | money, and he thought tho widespread bank | failures wero a sufticient indication of the | truth of his theory.

He then offered to pawn a silver watch for a bucket of beer and 50 cents in cash. The bar tender told him he was not running a pawn shop and had no money to lend to any one. Swith then produced a gold watch and wanted to know what he could get on that. The bar- tender told him he did not want his watch, and Smith went away very augry. Presently the saloon keeper saw Smith and his three companions coming toward the saloon from the rear. He locked the door and the kicked against it and threatened to bres down if he did not open up.

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS Cashler Douglas of the Frankiin Instita- tlon Alleged to fiate Converted the Bank's rnl‘l toral to His Own Use, Fravrurs, Neb, July 80, (¢ gram to Tue Bee.)—Adfutant Gene who was arrested last home from Lincoln, gave a £2,000 bond for his appearance on . when ho will waive examination and give bond for his appear- ance at the December term of tho district court, The reason for his arrest was the resalt of the action of Cashier Douglas, having taken £,700 of the bank's collateral May 31 and the attempt made since then by Douglas to have these bank notes transferred to him- self personally. As the transaction was illegal it was thought best to take into cus- tody all connected with it, Mr. Gage said today that he had no il feeling toward any one on account of the affair; that it was'due to the depositors and creditors of the bank as well as to himself, that the fullest investigation be made and if an examination showed an, thing wrong regarding any of his business transactions he was willing to stand up to i if any wrong had been done the guilty par- ties should suffer, and therefore he courted a full, fair and impartial examination, the result of which he was confident would re- store the confidence of the creditors and that they would find ample securities to pay all claims dollar for dollar, Paper held by the bank which the exami- ner had counted as worthless under the banking law just because it was past duo, in many cases is worth at forced sale its face value.

Bankers who had offered me money at 7 percent three weeks prior said that now it could not be done; that it was not now a question of security but that they necded more money themselves than they could obtain. In con- sequence the bank was forced to close.” Regarding the taking of the bank's collat- eral by Douglas Mr. Gage said that he had brought the matter to the attention of the attorney general who will take steps to se- cure its return. “Every dollar T have.” said he, ‘“and every piece of property will be turned_into the bank before any one shall lose. 1 re- ceived no salary s president of the bank ex cept my living which has not been ex- travagant and since March 11 have received but 20 of the bank's money and the books will bear out my statement.

Day after day and week after week people here have prayed for rain, but not till this week has it appeared. The total precipita- tion for the last six mouths would not ex- ceed two inches. Thero is very little farm g done in this country and the absence of moisture has not affected Hot Springs ma- terially.

FRANK Evory Ma ity ife That n 1 e Saved - Faith the Kse seutinl Requisite -System of f3iblical Rewards and Punishments. Rev. Feank Crano preached upon tho subject of the Idea of Hel." The fo his romarks, in part “The doetrine inthe way of o last ovening stament “New 1 constituted lowing fetornal punishment stands and 1 furnishes them with an ex for the Christian schiomo, It nover provents 4 man from pe sonally becoming a Christian, But he fro quently makes use of the fact that he does not understand it, ta oxcuse his noglect of his own soul. We inust be careful about the spirit of our inquiry into this matter, Many say d cannot be just and o so and so, and from tho naturo of God he ought not do so and so, but this is an_unscientific framo of mind, Tho oaly question that concerns us is, What hus (fod done? ‘The botanist, tho geologist, all scientists, look for the facts and endeavor to suit their theories to them Let us do the same, ““The great question, therefore, is, What does the bible teach? Christiuns have no duty to stand up for tho vagaries of Danteor Milton. Many of the ideas about hell an leaven that some peoplo imagine to have in them the core of orthodoxy are nothing but monkish inventions. As far the Meth- odist chiurch is concerned, one is at liberty to think as he pleases upon this question, N nothing in our articles of religion that touches the matter of eternal punish- ment at all “It s certain that the bible teaches n system of rewards and punishments; that man is a responsivlo and accountablo being. This s too plain for proof. 1 do not know that I have ever heard it donied. All agreo there is some punisnment, “In the Old "Testament the only definito punishment that is mentioned is of an earthly and temvoral character; that dis- pensatic earthly. “In the New Testament the scheme of foar und hopo was stretened out beyond this world into the next. It was no one but Jesus Christ himself, who first au- thoritative taught the doctrine of heaven and hell, As a con- sequence, rejection of the doctrine of eternal punishment almost invariably involves tho Univer- 18, rejection of the divinity of Clirist sulists ar Lmost alwiys Unitar Responsibility of Men, “For what is this punishment inflicted or veward bestowed? For character, that is for what a man is and not for any belief or any deed of bis. A man is responsible for wlhat he is. He is simply the result of his own will actions. For the sinner to con. tinue ns heis through cternity is eternal punishifient. As Milton says: **Myself am hell.” There is a tendency to make a *'sa ing of some one thing, a con belie aright death. Tho true way is to ntial things that » mentioned in the New "lestament and see that they convergo in character, One text (He t believeth, shall be saved; faith ye are saved) implies that faith is ential requisite; the pavable of the last judgment, thata charitable disposition alone will save us. “Any careful reader of the New Testa- ment must notice that there is very little amstantial description of the future life, In this the religion of Jesus differs from all false religions, for they delight to paint the glories of heaven and the terrors of hell with paiutul circumstance. The New Testament language is entirely fizurative, the figures it uses being those of the work that dieth not, fire that is not quenched, Gehenna, con- demnation, curse, luke of fire'and brimstone, bottomless pit, place of weeping and wail- ing, second death. Now it is evident that each on of theso cannot bo a literal deserip- tion, or the others would not be true. It would be just as wrong, however, to deny all meaning to theso igures. Tho only way to express spiritual mattor is by = material symbols. “:As much harm has been done to the roal truth of cternal punishment by the persist- ent notion of some that the church teaches & hiell of fire, us by any other fallacy. Laws of Thi Afe. “Eternal punishment is nothing in the world but carrying out the laws of this life in those of the next; those who hold to it are scientifie. The same God that made this world makes the next. It is known here that sin in any form brings trouble, hard- s and despair. Those who have had lurgo experience know that if there o any ex- ceptions to this they are only apparent and temporary. No matter how happy the miser, the lecher, the robber may be for a while, let him _alone long cnough nud he grows sated, blase, morose, suicidal, living, but hating life. You onty have to extend the life of any man who is not saved by the power of God and his existence in time will become a hell of itsclf. “If you would see the nature of eternal punishment, visit your lazar houses where the victim of debauch lies writhing with a dreadful disease, the bones of his head are sloughing out; listen to the confession of the rich suicide, who sated with everythiug the world can give willingly ends his ex- istenco. These are fires that are not quenched, worms that die not, “But is there no chance for repentance there? Must punishment be cternal? Lot us stick to fucts here. There is nothing in sin that disposes us to repent. You who listen to this appreciate this now. You are less disposed to accept the salvation of Christ now than_ you were a year ago. You may be dissatisfied with your own life, con- vinced of your own sinfuluess, and that you would be Kappicr if you had the fulliies of God and the joy that overfloweth. But you haveno disposition to take the steps to obtain it, and as time goes on what little di: position you have grows lessand less, Wo must remember the cumulative character of sin. Its first born child is_despair. Thou- sands in this world are writhing in the re- worse of sinfulness. The gospel is preached to them constantly, but they do not believe iv; on the contrary, they believe that there is mo God, that they would not be happy if they werd™ savedf that it is impossible for thein to be saved, and all sorts of lics, The result of their sin is that the; an believe these lies more easily than they n believe thetruth and be saved.
