PUZZLER FOR THE POLICE One Feature of the 8eljan Murder Case that is Not Yet Oleared Up, HOW DID THE BODY REACH THE RIVER Bearch 8o Far s Falled to Disclose the Meaus Used to Transport the Corpse of the Murdered Man, Nothing new was developed In the Seljan murder case yesterday. The detective force spent the entire day in an effort to discover how the body of Seljan was conveyed to the river after he was put to death. The search was, however, fruitless. Seljan was a large man and it is considered improbable that one or two men would have been able to carry his body to the river with- out attracting the attention of some one. If some one did see a burden of such kind being carrled and pald no attention to it at th time, the sight would certainly have gained significance in his mind now on account of the notoriety that has been given to the case. Then, too, a body wrapped up In a blanket would have been an awkward burden to carry, as the body would not have very Stff in the hot weather. The argument is the stronger, as none streets leading from the house murder occurred to the river are frequented late at nigh 1# the body was carried conveyance it was probably obtained in the immediate nelghborhood. North of Plerce street as far as the railroad tracks there is a settlement of Italians and Russians, whose occupation consists of peddiing. In many of the yards there is a wa and in more there are a number of push carte, such as are used by street venders of fruit, standivg outside at night. One of these could easti be obtained and returned without the knowi- edge of the owner. No one so far has becn discovered who saw any vehicle of such kind passing through the streets toward the river on the night after the murder. BLOOD STAINS NOT ESSENTIAL. All the vehicles in the neighborhood bave been carefully examined by the detectives for blood stains, but none have been dis- covered In such a condition. If a vehicle was used, however, it need not have been stained with blood. The body might have been care- fully wrapped in & blanket or some other covering in such a manner that no blood would have escaped out of the wrapping. Thero is but one other route by which the body could have been carried to the river. That Is through a sewer. Through the Chi- cago lumber yards, north of the tracks, a Jarge eight foot sewer runs. If the body was eposited in it it mlght have been washed into the river. On Wednesday morning, the morning after the murder was supposed to have bean committed, in the neighborlood of 3 o'clock a short but heavy rain fell. A Jarge volume of water feli, but it is not thought that it was enough to wash the body into the river In the comparatively short space of time that elapsed between the time the murder is supposed to have occurred and the time when the body was recovered. The prisoners still refuse to say that they had anything to do with the murder. In the many talks that the police officials have had with them, however, they have made so many contradictions as to what they did and as to timing their doings on the day on which the murder is presumed to have been committed that there remains but little doubt that scme of them at least are able to explain the man- ner in which Seljan came to his death. - They have made gome important statements, too, which the police refuse to divulge. There is some evidence also, in the possession of the police, which has.not been given to the pub- Ue. latter of the where the to the river in a STRONG AGAINST ONE MAN. On the strength of the statements that have been made and the evidence which he has in his possessio Chlef of Police White is con- fident that he will be able to conviet at least one of the prisoners. This is Bukove, or Bukovic. He is considered the murderer. Drubnje and Mikan are also undoubtedly im- plicated in some manucr, but Mrs. Mikan and ‘Urbanowitchm are not supposed to have taken any hand In the crime, although they may have obtained knowledge of it. Mrs. Mikan 18 evidently worried more about her husband than she is about hersel. Complaints will be sworn to against the prisoners this morning, the charge being murder. The evidence has been placed in the possession of County Attorney Baldridge, al- though it has not been decided whether he will personally handle the case. Assistant County Attorney Day looked after the inter- ests of the state at the coroner's Inquest. The body of Seljan was lald to rest yester- day afternoon in Forest Lawn cemetery.

A party of capitalists interested In gold mining {n the Gunnison country were in the “ity yesterday en route to Colorado on a prospecting tour. The party included Lewls Cavanah of Minneapolis, W. J. Poiser of Canton, 0., and D. R. Bundy of Ironwood, Mich, ‘Mrs. Cavanah accompanied the party and insisted upon being counted to save the members from the ill effects of an unludky number, as there were thirtcen men on the excursion, all stockholders in the mines to be visited. Mrs. Cavanah is a sister of Police Officer Glover and stopped in Omaha to spend the day with him, the first visit since they ‘were children. Mr. Cavanah is president of the Forest Hill Mining and Milling company and Mr. Bundy is president of the Goldfield Mining and Milling company, both in the Gunnison coun- try. Some rich strikes have been made in the gold mines of both of these companies, and the members of tho party are making the present trip to fully investigate and acquaint themselves with their wealth and resources S THE WONDERFUL BLACK HILLS, ANl Teachers ~hould Know All about the Black Hills—historie, instruc- tive, interesting to a greater degree than any other part of the st The Hot Springs et South there.

The question of voting bonds for a new High school bullding and to meet the overlap necessary to tide over the Board of Education is still the topic of conversation upon the streets, There are some who are cruel enough to claim that the purpose of those favoring the voting of bonds is in the nature of a real estate scheme. The men who are taking the greatest interest in the movement are alleged to have property to dispose of, and which would be desirable as a High school site. W. B. Cheek, president of the Board of Education, in speaking of the bond proposi- tion yesterday, said that a new High school building was an absolute necessity, as every school room in the city was overcrowded, and especially the High school. At the com- mencemel of the next term of school there would be 5 additional puplle to enter the High school, and there was no place to put them. If the Yown was annexed, South Omaha would never get a High school, and parents would be compelled to send their children to Omaha to sche Four more rooms, he said, were needed to relleve the Missouri avenue and the Brown park schools he Third ward school was crowded, and something would have to be done at once. Other members of the board were of the same opinion as Mr. Cheek. Dave Anderson said that in his opinion it would be better to pay interest on bonda for ten or twenty years than to pay the 20 mill school levy. Anderson * thought that the Board of Education had done wrong in enter- ing into a contract for three yeirs with Super- intendent Munroe at an increased salary. He declared that a good superintendent could be hired for $100 per month. The salaries of all teachers and janitors, he urged, should be cut from $5 to $15 per month. Attorney an Duzen claimed that he wi in doubt as to whether bonds could be legally voted to pay the running expenses of the schools, He did not specially favor the proposition at this tim It has been decided by the Board of Educa- tion to have but nine months' school the ung vear and to cut off the pay of Honds pring vacation | that about $!

Terrell was in for breaking into Markeson's saloon and stealing some whisky, cigars and money therefrom. While the poice were all out hustling for the robbers Terrell returned to the city prison and waited until some one returned to lock him up again. When asked why he skipped out and then came back, the negro said that he was tired of jail grub and wanted to go home and get a square meal. Investigation proved that he went home, ate all he could and then meandered back to his cell. By doing this it is thought can be saved Magio Cliy Gossip.

FOSTERS'S KEY TO NATIONAL GREATNESS O1d Everyduy Bible Without Variations ls Satlsfactory to Pastor of Knox Church— ‘lymouth Congregational Church Welcomes a New ¥ the Rev. Immanuel Baptist church the pastor, rank W. Foster, selected for his text: “The Exaltation ot the Nation.” In discussing this subject, he said: There you have the key to all na tional greatness. It is not conquest, macy and daring, or not ‘revolution, not the Lancaster, nor the wars’ of but the wars fought for the establishment of a moral principle that exalt a nation. A little nation like Holland, when it can train a little band of pllgrims in principles of liberty and equity and send them out to found a nation upon these principles, is of greater worth to the world than a conquer- ing Caesar. Righteousness Is a word which politicians have been trying to relegate to the do- mains of theology, along with the ten com- mandments. The world likes to keep ju tice, if not too strict, and integrity, when not too precise, but these virtues cannot exist apart from righteousness, The exaltation of any nation must be in accordance with the divine will, and there can be none of the correlative virtues where the chiet virtue is_wanting. If a nation would live longer than another nation, it it would claim the right to exist at all in this enlightened century, it must recognize God and be willing to be guided by His laws. Other plans have failed; there is no use trying them again, I am uot to speak for the church exclusively as God's means of exalting this nation and saving the people, though I believe in that with all my soul, but I am to speak of the deep conviction which ought to exist in every patriot's mind and heart that national greatness is pro- portionate with national morality, justice and honor, Nations exist Last evening at nor Napoleonic diplo “alertness.” It fs wars of York and the emperors for the people. Aristotle sald: “Soclety comes together and exists that men may live well,” and if men live well and right the nation will exist long and be happy. In our political harangues we often dramatize Aesop's fable of the ass in the lion's skin. “We have much to learn,” says Emerson, “much to correct, a great deal of lying vanity. The spread eagle must fold its wings and be less of a peacock, must keep its wings to carry the thunderbolt when he is commanded. We must realize our rhetoric and our rituals. Our_national flag represents some Chicago or Baltimore caucus, and not the whole of the population. It represents not union nor Justice, but selfishness and cunning.” The greatness and exaltation of the na- tion does not depend upon corn, but char- acter; not upon climate, nor cotton, nor commerce, but upon virtue. The wealin taken from the mines or wrung from the soil or produced by the mechanical arts or sclence, or commerce, if it elevates the whole people, if it reduces the amount of illiteracy and immorality, if it feeds more hungry and clothes more of the ragged, and houses more of the people; if crime i8 les- sened and misery and suffering is lightened and homes are happier and hearts lighter and lives are purer, then this great increase of wealth, this constantly increasing wealth of the nation, will prove a blessing, and the nation will be exalted by it; otherwise this wealth will only hasten the overthrow of this government and the serfdom of many of the people. The righteousness of the people will drive out sinfulness and injustice and Immorality just as the light drives out darkness. It is the duty of the patriot to point out the sins of the people, just as Wendell Phillips did when he spoke. It was his duty to lift his voice against their sins as he would lift his arm to strike down any foreign foe. Joseph Cook says: “The death grip at the throat of any nation under universal suffrage is a com- bination of the illiterate with the greedy criminal classes, the ancient and not honor- able family of the wax-noses, the weather- vane population who will go with the major- ity wherever they can be led.” As In the physical body congestion causes fever which, if not allayed, will terminate in death, so in the body politic any congestion which causes one part to become feverisi ls sure to bring death to the body If the fever is not broken. There is no part of the body politic that is so frequently in a state of high fever as the monetary part. The con- gestion of wealth is the cause of this fever, and the remedy is in a necessary, larger and fairer and more equitable distribution, and in a more moderate spirit of speculation and a curbed desire to get rich quickly. The growing immensity of the piles of gold held by a few families is dangerous both to the holders and to the mation. In 1850 the United States had“28 per cent of the amount of wealth that all Europe had While in this country there s not the aris tocracy of blood, there is an aristocrac It 1s the aristocracy of wealth. Rev. Joseph Strong sald ten years ago: ‘“‘Mammonism is corrupting public morals in many ways. Sun- day amusements of every kind, horse racing base ball, theaters, beer gardens, steamboat and railroad excursions, are all provided be- cause there is money in them. Licentious literature floods the land; gambling flourishes in spite of the law because there is money in it. That great abomination of desolation, that triumph of satan, that more than ten Egyptian plagues in one, the liquor traffic, grows and thrives at the expense of every human interest, because there is money in it. Ever since greed of gold sold Christ and rafled for his garments, it has crucified every form of virtue between two thieves. The fate of the republic is doubtless in the great cities. “‘White rum rules the great towns universal suffrage is a farce,” said Wendell Phillips. The New York Times #aid nearly the same, and stated that “this is the underlying evil which paralyzes every effort to get good government.' How long before we shall see “the hand- writing on the wall?” How long can the na- tion exist with these evils before they must go or the nation shall die? *“We are in these days settling for ourselves, and our descend- ents questions which, as they shall be de- termined in one way or the other, will make the peace and prosperity or the calamity of the next age. The questions of education, society, labor, the direction of the talent of character, the nature and habit of Amer- ica, may well occupy us; nay more, the que tion of religion.” We believe in the future of this nation be- cause we believe in the all guiding hand of God In the affairs of this pcople, and He will lead this nation on and on until the broad principles of Christian equity and benevolence and love shall govern men, and only so shall this nation be exalted by righteousness. WORLD WANTs A TRUSTWORTHY BIBLE Too Many of Them Are Like Hat Racks Iotended to Hang Things On, At the Knox Presbyterian church, the pas- tor, Rev. Asa Leard, last evening preached the second sermon In the series on everyday theology. His subject was: “A Common Sense Bible.” He said: The world has many books, and the church has many bibles, Yes, many bibles The old everyday bible is being presented with many variations, and sometimes it is principally variation. Some preachers have a bible that is simply a book of themes or texts, on which to hang a sermon, were it not for the text that is usually read and given the place of homor at the head of the sermon one would not know that the preacher had & bible of any kind. The trouble is that the man's bible is only a book of texts, to be used, like the pins on a hat-rack, for hanging things on. Such a bible fs not of very much use to the preacher, the congregation or any one else. This is surely not the bible that the martyrs died for. Then there is a very popular bible to- day, known especlally to the clergy, and par- ticularly to those In our theological semina ries. The bible is a subject for criticlsm men go at it professionally, disjolnt it, diss connect it and disintegrate it until they dis. belleve it. This is a very Interesting bible to scholdrs, but not very aitractive to a com- won, sin-eick soul, ¢ud s most men belong | gt e to this latter class, the-critics' bible is bound to have but a limited eirewlation. The sooner It fs out of print the better for the world. | The signs of the times would Indleate that even now it Is becomingy in some localities, a back number. Have you ever seen<the ornamental bible? No? ~ Well, there are many of them in Omaha. These bibles are always kept in con splcuous places, They are well bound, well cared for. In short, they are a good deal like marble statues, stone men. They well, are expensive amd last a long time, but they never speak. The bible on the center table may be of thatiKind. The limp back book that you carry on Sunday may be of that sort. 'To decorate with flowers shows good taste, to decceate with flags shows patriotism, but to deccrate with a bible, shows hypocrisy. There is still one other fort of bible very much in use today. I hardly know what tc call it, un'ess it be the carpenter’s bb'e. Men g0 through it with saw and ax, and wherever they find a text that they can use on the theory they are building, they cut it out and appropriate it without much reference to its connections, Such a bible may be very convenient, but not very helpful. Mr. Beecher used to say that such a bible was an arsenal, where a man took a chapter for a gun, and another for fowder and a text for bullets, and when he had rammed them into his gun, he aimed it at a Presbyterian, Meth- odist or Baptist, and then touched it the fire of his own Imagination, and, crash down came a creed. If such a bible wa ever of any benefit to the race, its day surely past. These bibles are very num ous. Whole denominations will have other. They are not common gense bibles What sort of bible does the world want today? What will be accepted as common sense? It must be first of all a trustworthy book. The world has no use for a bible that Is dependent upon crities to go through it and tell us what is true ani what Is false. Men will not accept a theory of astronomy or chemistry or_geology unless they believe it to be true. We will not put confilence in a man who tells the truth sometimes. He must be truthful. We do not want-a bible that contains the word of God, but a bible that Is the word of God. Common sense would say that if God has made a revelation to men, it must be a perfect revelation, because God s perfect. Common sense demands a bible that is intelligible, not a bible written In the style of the German philozoplier. Hegle's definition of an idea, when he “An ilea is the course that the notion as the general- ness which Is singieness determines itself to the objectivity ani to the opposition against the eame; and this externalness, which has the notlon to its substance, through its im- minent dialectic brings back itself in the sub Jectivity.” What an idea! Or even as Mr. Herbert Spencer again, who says that life is “The definite combination of heterogenous changes both simuitaneous and ccessive in correspondence with external ‘H.rrmu-m-ps and sequences.”” Alas for poor ! In contrast with this, common sense wants a bible that can say “Come unt> me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” This is our bible. The world wants a bible that is adapted to its nec Men are in darkness; the bible must be a light; they are in sorrow; it must speak words of comfort. The key that fits the lock is the key to the lock. The bible that answers to our every call, and adapts itself to our every want and circumstance is the common sense bible. Such s the bible that has stood the test of the ages. Such I the bible that, like its Author, {s “The same yesterday, today and forever.” Such a bible is the gift of God to lost man. Such a bible we may have. AT PLYMOUTH CAURCH NEW PASTOR Rev. MacAyeal Preaches His Initial Ser- mon to the Congregatios Paul’s injunction to Timothy, “Preach the Word,” was the theme of the sermon de- livered by Rev. Howard S. MacAyeal y terday morning at the Plymouth Congrega- tional church to the pastorate, to which he has just been called, succeeding Rev. J. A. Fisher, who resigned the charge on June 1. Rev. MacAyeal was chaplain of the sen- ate at the last session of the legislature and prior to that time was pastor of the Congregational church at Cambridge, Neb. He is a young man, of fine presence, a forceful speaker, and has the reputation of being a church ‘builder, the kind of a pas- tor of which the Plymouth church is just now in great need. Rev. MacAyeal's inaugural was more in the nature of a plain talk to the people with whom he has been called to labor than of a set sermon. He said that he did not want any misunderstanding with his congregation. He proposed as pastor to preach the Word, and saw no other duty before the minister of today. Tie injunc- tion given in the text was one of the most solemn adjurations in the bible. Life was a solemn thing at best. He had no sym- pathy with that view of life that demanded nothing but pleasure and enjoyment. The best life was that which had the burdens of its fellow men. The noblest life ever lived was that of Jesus Christ, that had rested upon it the weight of the burdens of woe caused by the sins of the world. The speaker could not understand how any minister of God could enter the pulpit and oreach anything mot contained in the word of God, the word that had from Christ the seal of eternal verity. There was danger in new eras, said the mpeaker, and in the temptation of ministers to neglect the word of God in the selection of their texts and sermor matter. There was a natural inclination in man to the- orize, and therein was the danger to the church. Teachers in the schools, while they might employ new methods, were held to the established text books in teaching math- ematics, history and sciences, explaining the principles that had been established for cenfuries. There was the same need that the teacher in the pulpit should stick to the principles of truth that had been the foundation of church and of civilization and had been working for good down through all of the ages. “In these days,” he sald, “congregations demand eccentric- ities, and preachers accommodate them, but the preacher who passes into eccentric preaching loses his hold on the Word of God. In this the congregation has a respon- sibility and a duty in Keeping the preacher close to the bible.” Rey. MacAyeal closed his address by urg- ing his congregation to join with him in bullding up ihe church, in conformity with the established line for carrying out the plan of God's work, as laid down in the book of book: T When Travel g Whether on pleasure bent, or business on every trip a bottle of Syrup of Figs, as it acts most pleasantly and effectually on’ the kidneys., liver and bowels, preventing fevers, headaches and other forms of sickness.

And now, young man, g0 on with your Sunday club life, your dirty story teliing, your profanity, your contempt of all churches, your strong mimiration and feeble imitation of Ingersoll—but know that there is another road to political popularity and to social victory. o one would than the man But the Pulpit | stian garments Here Journal, go Inter- A Word with Mr. White, Chiet of Police— My Dear Sir: You are witnessing much talk in newspapers and elsewhere in this city, from which one might gather that the cit- izens of Omaha care nothing for you except |as a bagatelle between factional sections Suffer the Pulpit (o say to you that for all this partisan word war about you the people have only a feeling of deep regret that it should occur.
