Hughes was unconscious at the time. His head and face were covered with blood and his left arm was lying by his side, mangled and torn by the wheels which had passed over him. The patrol wagon was rung up and he was taken to St. Bernard's hospital, where medical aid was given him. He was found to be in such a precarious con- dition that the physicians dia not think it advisablo to perform any surgical operation upon him, but merely applied such restor- atives as they could with a view of bringing him back to consciousness. All efforts were fruitless, and shortly after 12 o'clock he died. An exammnation of the body disclosed the fact that his skull was fractured in the rear. Hi and head were badly cut up, but it was probably the fracture that caused death.

Inthe Morse Dry Goods company's passenger elevator, the gilded cage that carries the busy thousands up and down from the basement to the roof of the big building in Omaha, there is a man who is more than an object of - in- terest to hundreds in the daily mul tudes. -Mr. Moore is well known in Omaha, and has seen better daye, days when he was the employer of hundreds of men, but failing health brought finan- cial reverses and his friends and ac- quaintances w him gradually suc- cumbing to what appeared to be the in- evitable. They witnossed the brave, manly but hopeless struggle he was making, watched him grow frailer day by day, until the time came when his thin hands had scarcely strength enough left to work the lever in the elevator, and many of tho more thoughtless in the multitude of regular customers idly wondered if he would be able to hold his place another week. Suddenly they noticed a great improvement in his condition, His fin- gers-ceased to tremble. The little stool beside the lever was notoccupied as con- stantly as formerly, and the sense of hopeless weariness so nearly akin to de- spair that had been stamped upon his countenance had given place to the joy- ous expression of confidence that comes from sudden relief from pain and hope for the future. What caused the change Mr. Moore told toa reporter yesterday between the halts of the elevator. “It canall be told in one sentence,” said he. ‘It is the Sweetland Remedies that people are talking about 80 much now. But it would require many sen- tences to express my gratitude or tell the fearful condition 30 years of suffer- ing had brought me to. 1 feel a deli- cacy, naturally, in talking about myself, but for the sake of others I feel it a duty to do so in this case. More than 30 years ago the physicians pronounced me'to be suffering from kidney troubles, a low form of chronicinflammation that slowly wxtended to all the urinary organs. The first and most unpleasant” complication was a troublesome stricture, fol- lowed by serious enlargement of the prostrate gland. I spent thou- sands of dollars and took gallons of medicines, but in spite of the physicians these complaints became chronic, and for 30 years, until a short time ago, I have not known what it was to be free from pain. In all of this time I cannot recollect of having experienced even a temporary veliel from any of the expensive and elaborate courses of treat- ment I received from the physicians, 1 continued to get worse steadily. Dur- ing the last year it was only with an ef- fort that few can appreciate that I held to my work. I finally reached a point where I realized that I was on my last week of work, that I could keep up no longer. My attention was called" to the Sweetland specific remedies and I consulted the doctors, My confidence was gained at the start by being told ex- actly what was the matteér with me, Al- most with the first dose of medicine I was helped, and after the first few days treatment I experienced the first relief in thirty years. My troubles disap- peared and T was given a new lease of ife. Although I have not followed the treatment as I should, I can stand here all day at my work without fatigue and Iam growing strenger every day. *'1 regard the Sweetland remedics as much more thau remurkable; they are wonderful, and I cannot suy enough to express my faith and gratitude,” Was 0.

INFIDELS DISCUSSED ARGUMENTS OF Origin of Mankind--Some Instances Cited Where Solence 1s Snort—Why Men Shudder at the FPower of God—~The Leoture. Rev. Leo Franklin lectured upon the sub- ject “What is Theism!" at Temple Israel lnst Friday evening, He rebuked atheism and paid his respects to Colonel Ingersoll, The lecturo, in part, was as follows: “‘One of the most dificult tasks that con- fronts the preacher in his work is the selec- tion of subjects that shall at once interest and at the same time be instructive and n- telligible to the great masses of his people. So various, indoed, are the tastes and the dispositions of various people, to say nothing of the vast differences in degree that must of necessity exist in education and in cul- ture among them, that no mivister can hope to reach all his people in_the same lectu:e. If & popular subject be his_theme it 18 too light for the thiuker, and if he choose to sponk on a philosophical theme it will ususlly have a soporific effect upon the average con- grogation. Thus, the poor preacher is placed in a peculiar position, and it is only when, by fortunate chance. he is able to hit upon a subject midway between the popular and tho philosophic that he may entertain the hope of carrying with him all his hearers. friends, 1am fortunato enough to have selected a subject that will fill the need, for though philosophic in its nature, we. shall treat it in a popular way. Still i must ask of you to kindly bestow your earnest attention, as a single argument lost may break the ontire chain of thought. Thoe sub t which we shall treat tonight is this: What Do We Understand by the Term Theism?' In other words, what do we mean by acknowledging a belief in God? Different Method of Treatment, “At the outset it may be well to state candidly why we have selected this subject for discussion tonight. Many of you will no doubt have guessed the reason readily. Those of you who heard the arch-infidel, the man of perverted logic and of no philosophy, speak at the opera house this week, will surely understand that what I say tonight shall in a sense be to counteract the effect of what he was pleased to say. But this a'so I would sa: In my method of treating this subj I, as a reasonable man, ¢iffer so widely from him that I almost feel constrained to apolo- gize to myself for taking up the gauntlet against him. Ingersoll wins his audience for the moment by ridiculing the views of his opponents, We hope to gain ours by ad- vancing reasonable arguments in support of our vosition. Still, let us not be too hard on this voor infidel. He ridicules God and the world, not_because he has any great grudge against either, but because he makes quite a respectable living by doing so. Defeated for political oftice through the machinations of a religious body, he was driven to his present platform, and he has so often re- peated what he says that I sometimes be- lieve that he hus persuaded himself that in what he says there is some degree of truth. For this, of course, I am not preparea to vouch, howerer. , But this is aside from our present subject. 'Iaour mext discourse we shall examine the possibility of atheism. To- nght we wish 1o investigate the theistic belief, or, in other words, belief in God. ‘‘In order that we may clearly understand any arguments advanced in support of a proposition it is essential that first and fore- most we have a clear conception of the prop- osition itself, and for this reason we start out by sta Kl)riafli’ the theistic position, namely 1 believe In one God, the creator of the universe, Who is the Supreme Beiug, self-conscious and perfect.” With us the root excellence of God is verfection though in the ages past and historically considered the place of this viFtue was usurped by the idea of power. This, ‘however was quite natural. When men saw the workings of a God, who at will, could call 1nto existence a universe, and at will wipe out whole nations and peoples, what wonder is it that they shuddered and stood in terror before this majestic power? That this idea should have appeared first is as we have suid, perfectly natural, but that it should have persisted to the present day is not so easily explained, except, perhaps, for the fact that the idea of power. of strength and of force, appeals more strongly to the sensual nature of man ;.mm the ideas of holiness ana virtue and ove, Basls of Proof. “‘But taking it for eranted now that we understand the position assumed by the theist, we ask. “Can he prove his proposi- tion” that there exists a God who is a supreme being. self-conscious and perfect? Before attempting to doso, let us have a clear understanding of the nature of proof. Proof is not demonstration in the same sense thatwe may demonstrate thatone und one are tw All proof finds its basis in similarities or resemblances. Because such and such an effect has, always in the paste resulted from such and such a cause, w infer the universal proposition that in the future whenever the same cause shall exis, the same result will inevitably be the out- come. 'Tousea concrete example propounded by one of my revered teachers, Because in the pastall men who have hived have died, we make a universal statement that all men are mortal, Thatall men will die none of us will ever have the opnortunity of demonstrating, but because of the similar- ities in the nature of men, we believe it to be absolutely true and proved. And now in the sume sense when weask “Can theism be proved!” we are not asking can it be demonstrated, for to do so it would be neces- sary for man to come face to face with God and algeady in the earliest written parts ot the Old Testament it says ‘no man shall see me and live.” Those who ask us to demonstrate God ask of us as much of an impossibility as those who would ask us to demonstrate for them the force of gravity, or the ether with which we fully believe all possible space is filled. “In attempting to prove God' from the standpoint of philosophy there is yot another trath that we mnust carefully consider. Before we can argue about anything we must know all that can be known about the subject, One who has no music in his soul and one who has had uo musical training is not the proper person to pass judgment on a musical composition. Because proof rests on similarities, and as ho has not the knowl- edge of excellencies in past productions, he cannot compare what he now hears with what was produced in the past and, there- fore, his judgment is worthless and couuts for naught. And se, 100, in judging of spir- itual truths, ong wust be able to feel ere he dare venture an opipion. “This is amply proven by the fact that all the argument vémced by atheists, agnos- ties, infidels and wnti-theists against tho ex- istence of God, coms not from~ the side of perplexed intelligence that cannot conceive a God, but rather from the side of the emo- tions, What seaws to puzzie the unbeliover is the strong convigtion of what ought to be done by a perfect being, and those who on this ground judgethat there is no God, do 80 plainly becuuse their intellect is not large enough o' feel and to know the wisdom of the ways of God. They waste many words telling us what they would do if they occupied, e throne of the universe and try to appeslito the emotions of the people by telling ugl that thav God is cruel who allows parents to sacrifice their children in His honor or who permits those who are zealons in worsiipping Him to suffer the tortures of an inquisition, Sympathy for Ignorance. “Now these gentlemen, for whose ignor- ance and lack of logic I grant them my sin- cere sympathy, overlook the fact that no Giod whon we worship ever demanded such things, or ever wanted them. Any Jew who ever met the martyr's death did.so not be- cuuse he thought that God would be es- pecially pleased with his sacrifice, but as a ero he died fighting for some grand principle. Judaism teaches life, love, nappiness and joy. Already the psalmist has told us ‘The dead shall not praise God! Let the atheists come o snd learn what true religion is before they poke their ridicule or utter their slanders against us. The great pity 15 this, that when wen of this stamp are gifted with & little eloguence and have the power of awakeniog the risi- bilities of the people by a few patented joies that they carry the masses away by their beautiful language, as it is termed, though us nine people out of ten who believe that the ' l?non'h‘ pas converted them to his own way | of thinking cannot show a single Argument advanced by him. And therefore, friends, public lectures by so-called atheists and in- fidels, even the greatest of them, carcy with them but little danger of winning any peo- ple from their old methods of thoueht and of action. But this is somewhat apart from our subject. Let us return. KFrom the standpoint of science and phiiosophy we wish to ascertain now what facts in experi- ence, {f any, point to the existence of a di- vine being. “First, we 1ook to history, for it is to his- tory that science first of all mustalways look. Throughout the ages, and as far back as man may possibly follow the tracks of his- tory, we find deeply inherent in the nature of man a belief in Something higher, nobler and better than man himself. Kven the rudest tribes have had their gods to which thoy pointed as something of great magni- tude and power. Now, however great and numerous be the argumonts to the contrary science and philo thatthe very univ some deit, hy must agree to this, rsality of a recognition of points to the fact that in man there is the iunate instinct of a higher being. Men felt the want of something higher than themselves and, because thoy could not rise to the conception of a spirit. ual God unseen, except in the manifesta- tion of His works, they had to muke some material symbol for’ the idea, of wood or stone, or gold. The idol, let it be remers- bered, did not at first stand as God, but it stood simply in the place of a symbol for Him. Gradually, however, the signifi- cance was lost and in the eyes of th barbarians the wood and stoué itself because a Goa. Now what I wish to sii0w is this: Instincts correspond to some- thing that exists and are never purposeless, Now because the instinet of worship shows itself in the lowest of the human species as wellas in the highest, science must admit that there is something in the universe to | satisfy the yearnings of that instinct—call it whitt you will; we call it God, ‘‘Again, let us take the scientists on their own grounds, and if they are at_all open to conviction they must admit that an im- portant link 18" lacking n_their chain of arguments. At the idea of God or a creative power they scoff. Science is their God; nature is their God; energy is their God; force is their God: evolution is their God. Look, they say, and be reasonable. The earth with its stratifications and varyi layers shows plainly that it is not the crea- tion of six days, but rather of numberless aeons. Yes, gentiemen, we say, we admit that you are right, but the fact that th stories in Genesis are to be interpreted not literally, but in the form of allegories, does not in the remotest shake our faith in God. We tell them tha' we can be as truly religious without believi. £ any of the mytns or miracles of the bible licerally as we can if we believed any or all of them. Origin of Mankind, “‘But they say that is all very well. But wherefore do vou need God at ail? Is He not altogether useless? They sa,, ‘Man is but a higher evolution of a lower species, this lower of a still lower, and this again of a lower yet, and so on until the first life is the evolution’ from the lifeless particles from which all these have sprung. Gentlemen, wo follow you, we say:but tel' us, if you please, whence came these firs. particles, who created them and who putlife into them? O never mind, they say, we don't care about that. But Isay thatscience, that philosophy, that reason, thut thought cannot and dare not stop here. Beyond the lifeless, soulless particles of matter there must be a first cause that brought them into existence and gave them life. To say that they are self-created is nonsense, for that would be to say that nothing created trom nothing and nothing added to nothing gives nothing. Friends, wo can understand how by the force of wnertia a ball will continue rolling in a straight line for- ever after it has once been set in motion, unless stopped by some opposing force. but without that first force to start it, mo- tion 18 impossible. And now, so with the universe. We need n first cause. After that first cause has @iven life to the lifeless particles, then wa can concieve how, through evolution, the universe may have come to what it is. That first cause scientists call nature, force or energy—we call it God. “But yet a single reference, and we shall have concluded for to-night. Science has made wonderful strides in the last century, generation and decade. 1t has light- eved the work of man; it has added to his comforts; it has re- moved many of his disabilities; it has straightened crooked lLimbs and done much else for which we must be erateful. But one thing it has not done and never will do, it cannot give life; it cannot give thought; it cannot give feeling. “Let science come to that pitch wherem 1t can give life, thought, hope, love and pity unto a man, a beast, a bird, aye, even to a spider or a fly, and in reverence 1 will call it God. But that day will never come. Science may advance to that height wherein 1t may make a figure so exactly like a man as to deceive us- all, and with ele y ov other powers endow it with tho power of locomo- tion, but it will never succeed in creating a soul that shall live, a brain that shall think, or a heart that shall feel, sympathize and pity. For these things we need God. Shall Iask you, dare I ask you, which is the nobler of these sentiments, which is the grander, which is the more sublime, which is the more reasonable?” S i ANNOUNCEMENTS. “A Nutmeg Match,” which. opens a four nights engagement this afternoon at the Fifteenth Streei theater, is said to be a most_artistically constructed comedy of MNew [ingland life and one which has been recy d everywhere with great favor. While it is not of an essentially jolly nature, it affords much-gratification to those who love to laugh and the theme is entirely novel. Unlike its predecessors lucked from the same soil, “A Nuvmeg Match” is rational and its characters are living, breathing characters and their prototypes are seen every day. The showing of a great pile driver in operation 1s perhaps the strongest feature of the play, and the public i rvel at the fact that to produce this ve- le realistic effect it is necessary to a huge steam engine and a competent neer. Manager Burgess has booked for three nignts, commencing next Thursday night, at the Fifteenth Street theater, the great railrond melodrama, Lincoln J.
