A big crowd of wheelmen came over from Omaha yesterday and put in the afternoon en- Joying the beautiful weather. And they were not all men, either, for every now and then, or oftener, thero would be a giimmer of bloomers. '~ The roads east of the city and to the south were never in better condition than they are now for bicycling, They are smooth and hard, and there fs but little dust flying. The lack of wind and the genial rays of the sun made It an ideal day for wheeling. Fair- mount park was the rendezvous for a large number of them. The paving on South First street is fn a fearful condition, however, and the chances are that most of those who came down that way were people who had gone up some other road. The road leading up the west side of the bluft from Tenth avenue was an_exceedingly popular one, both for teams and for bicycles, for it Is smooth and the in- cline s gentle. The livery barns did a big business, for the people reallzed that there may be but few pleasant Sundays between now and spring. Tho motor (rains were busy all afternoon carrying passengers from Omaha and Council Bluffs to Fairmount park, which is just now in holiday attire.

Hus a Foot of Wate There is at last water in Gilbert lake to the depth of about a foot, and the promoters of the scheme flatter themselves that they have solved the problem of fixing the bottom 80 that the water will stay there. For several weeks after the work was thought to be com- pleted there was a fear that all the expense and trouble would prove to be wasted, for as fast as the water ran in from the numerous springs in the vicinity it would seep through the soll and disappear. Now by harrowing the bottom and allowing it to puddle a water proof bottom has been obtained. It was found necessary {0 turn the output of Hammer spring, the largest of all, into its old channel, In emptying into the new lake It ran over the Northwestern tracks and was doing con- siderable damage to the roadbed. The au- thorities raised a disturbance, which quickly had the desired result. The water will prob- ably be piped Into Gilbert lake. Harvest Excursion Via Burlington route, Oct. 8 and 22. 0. M.

W, Senseney and His Church M t for the First T “Called to be an apostle of Jes Christ | through the wilt of God,” a portlon of the | first verse of the first chapter of First Cor- Inthians, was the text selected by Rev. James H. Senseney, the new pastor of the First Methodist church, yesterday on the occasion of his first appearance in his new pulpit. He handled his subject so well that he seemed to meet fully the expectations of the large | congregation, but the effect of the sermon was somewhat marred by a party of very young people who had taken possession of the Sunday school rooms beneath the chapel and amused themselves for half an hour torturing the plano with an improvieation of “Captain | Jinks” and “Money Musk.” The minister is an easy and pleasant speaker. The sermon Was something in the nature of a declaration | of principles, and the lesson sought to be | Impressed was the fact that the true Chris- | tian life must have love of God and the consclousness of His per Everything in nature | thing in existence superiority of onality for its basis. seems to serve some- higher than itself. The the human mind over every- thing in nature is manifest, for it moulds and controls everywhere. Man's superiority | 18 not physical, nor is it mental. Mind, spirit | or intel is only sprit operating as spirit, Man's superiority then over everything in nature lies in his moral nature. He is the only being that can detect moral distinctions. In lies his ability and power to know God, not to realize His existence, but to know His presence. Philosophy knows not God. Science may trace, but cannot find Him, but the tender child, the unlettered man falling at God's feet, confessing and re- penting sin, find Him. The man who hunts for God along the lines of wisdom and phil- osophy will never find Him. Socrates cried Oh, God, it Thou exist or ever didst exist, Thou must reveal Thyself.” Just what He did in Jesus Christ. You may reason your- selves into other knowledge, but you must meet God as a personality. Other men may know of His existence through His works, but it is only the humble men through Jesus Christ who know God. When the vision of the Divine face breaks in upon the soul What glory bursts in! What light bursts in! Those who love Jesus Christ best are those Who find life easiest and brightest. The power of love was beautifully illustrated, and was shown to be the golden chord that leads the human soul upward. Missionaries whose sacrifices have been made from pure love confess ecstatic happiness, and this is only a type of God's love which made possible Christ’s mission. The most fmportant thing In this world is existence. Without existence there is nothing. In the spiritual world with- out the existence of God there is nothing, but with this life is beauty and heaven an actual reality.

Y., Oct. 13.—A rumor s current. that detectives have traced the mur- der of Mrs. Sherman and Miss Davis in Busti last December to the hands of Emmett Bit- tles and three companions, who with him were arrested and convicted of torturing an old woman near Union City, Pa. They are now serving time in a Pennsylvania peniten- tlary for the crime, which was committed after the Sherman-Davis murders. = The rumor says that a chain of evidence is being forged which will implicate these men in the murders and show that the others of the same gang were here at the same time. Bit- tles is quite well known in this city, and he and his pals quite frequently visited here, al- ways in a quiet and mysterious way, and the theory is that he and his companions knew of the intentional absence of the Sherman fam- ily from home on the day the murders were committed. ATAL Prairie Fires Around W nvy Loss. WINNIPEG, Man., Oct. 18.—Four people were fatally burned near here while fighting prairie fires last night. Edward St. Germaln, aged 13, was engaged with an elder brother in an endeavor to save several hay stacks, when their clothing caught fire. Edward was burned to a crisp and the elder brother so bandly burned that he cannot recover. At “another point, some Canadian Pacific railrond employes were endeavoring to drive back the flames from the railroad property, Edward Lukyen, a section man and a fore- man, were surrounded by flames and both perished. It is feared other fatalaties from prairie fires have occurred, as fires were raging on all sides last night. —— NEGROES THREATENED BY A MON FOUR PEOPLE ' BURNED, Ipes Cause Four Charged with the Murder of n fiulll'l\‘ rol n Officer.

YORK, Neb., Oct. 13.—(Special.)—Politics in the Fifth judicial district are fairly warm- ing up. The action of the democratic con- vention at Seward some time ago, In en- dorsing Hon. E. Bates for judge, is not looked upon with much favor by the populists. The friends of Hon. Robert Wheeler, the other candidate on the populist ticket, do not feel the best over this matter, and it is thought that when the ballots are counted in November (his feature of the campaign will greatly tell. While four years ago the populists carried this district and elected both of their candidates, it is now thought that the republican nominees, Judge Sedgwick and Judge Kellogg, will be elected. As yet there appears (o be no eandidate for the office of county judge nor for surveyor on the popu- list ticket in this county, Deaths at Minden, MINDE Neb., Oct. 13.—(Speclal)—Mr, William McKenna, one of the oldest citizens of Minden and Kearney county, died yester- day morning, after a long and painful ill- ness.

FALLS CITY, Neb, Oct. 13 Willlam Mosena, aged 69, a farmer whose home is five miles southwest of this place, lles unconscious from a blow struck last night by Pat Casey. Death is expected to ensue as the result of the affair, and maybe a mob demonstration. Casey, who is but 22 years old and an all- around tough, had been drinking and was looking for trouble. Mosena happened to be at the same bar as his assailant, and the two rubbed together. No sooner had the old man jostled against the young hoodlum than the latter turned and struck. It was a fear- ful blow, delivered with either a slungshot or a billy, and landed on the old man's left temple. It knocked the eye out of the socket and stretched the old man senseless on the floor. Mosena (Speclal)— was removed to a doctor's office, where he still lies unconscious, with no hope of recovery. He fs an old soldier and a very popular member of the Grand Army. Among his friends there is an intense feel- ing of indignation, and some have talked of wreaking summary vengeance on Casey Casey is in jail. He tried to secure a hear- ing last night, but Yhe county attorney de- clined to grant it. His preliminary trial will likely be held tomorrow. For several years Casey has been cultivating a reputation as a bad man, and has been in many scrapes, but none so serious as this. MANY VICTIMS OF TYPHOID F ER.

She is well known in this viclnity, and was a prominent member of the Catholic church. The funeral is to be held at this place today. Her brother, Steven Carlin, who has been sick with heart trouble for the past six or elght months is rapidly sinking, making the affair the more distressing. There is quite an epidemic of typhold fever at this place, several cases being reported. In one family, that of A. A. Allen, both the mother and ‘son are confined to {heir beds with the fever. Mrs, G. F. Boynton is also seriously {1l with this disease.

RIDERS RIVAL ROAD OF YORK. st Gocke and Rae McGreer to F nally Contest for Local Supre ney YORK, Neb., Oct. 13.—(Special)—In the beginning of the bicycle scason a twenty-mile road race was had at this place. The winners of this race were matched against each other for a twenty-mile road race, and the same not being satisfactory, a twenty-mile track race was planned, and won by Gust Gocke of this county by a few inches, with Rae Mc- eer of York second. This race was run in the very good time of 55:06. During the county fair, which was held here some time ago, McGreer and Gocke were matched for a ten-mile race, and Gocke won again. On Fri- day, October 18, there is to be a race at this place, which it is thought will decide the question of supremacy. The race is to be fifteen miles, between E. E. Mocket of Lin- coln, and Gust Gocke and Rae McGreer of this ‘county. A large crowd is expected to be present, and as the run is to be_governed by the L. A.

Mrs. Henry St. Martin and daughter re- turned Wednesday from Blithedale, Mo., where they have been visiting for the past month, What came near being a serious accident occurred last night at Culver & Jensen's barber shop, which is located under a brick building on Fifth street. It seems that Culver, in attempting to light a gasoline stove, arranged It in such a manner that the oil ran out of the reservoir over the top of the stove and caught fire. In an instant the whole stove seemed to be a mass of flames, and it looked as if the building would bo destroyed. The fire company was called out, but Culver went to work to extinguish the' fire, and by the aid of a large plece of carpet aud various other weapons of warfare soon had the flames under control, Death of a Druggist, MALVERN, Ia, Oct. 13.—(Speelal)—A telogram was recelved this morning an- nouncing the death of C.

WEBSTER CITY, Ia, Oct. 13.—(Special l‘l‘ele(rlm.)—'l'he populist party of Hamilton county placed a tull ticke§ Tn|ghe field Sat urday afternoon at the_Jewedl dunction_con- vention as follows Represaptative, T. A. Conklin; auditor, Luther Lakin; treasurer, James Stuart; county supepinéandent, Anna McKee; sheriff, T. F. Baldwin Resolutions were unanimously passed for free silver, [ —— -y strongly declaring Steve Brodie, king of the Bowery, jumper from the East river bridge, saloon keeper and philanthropist, surrounded by a company which includes some of the cleverest special- fsts who have appeared here in a long time, opened a short engagement last night at Boyd's in “On the Bowe: a melodrama written around the herole historical achleve ments of the star. There is a plot to the plece, which glves Brodle his opportunity to leap oft Brooklyn bridge to the rescue of the heroine, who has been overboard long enough to have had a considerable start toward Bedloe's island; and it is also suf- ficlently elastic to permit of a very realistic gceno on the Bowery, where Brodie's famous resort is shown, inside and out, and natural as life in both cases, as those who have been there can testify. It requires a fair amount of courage, and a due share of eminence, to celebrate one's own virtues and mighty deeds in a play. George Thatcher did it in Tuxedo, but his modest bid for applause did not meet with spontaneous favor. Mr. Brodie is more successful, The clergyman who comes to his saloon soliciting charity Is promptly accom- modated with a bank note, presumably of generous denomination, an action which speaks louder than the words Brodie leaves unsaid, and prompts the minister to take off his hat to the little man behind the bar. n the erring young female Is about to his place, and recoi’s at the state of the weather cutside, Steve says “Don’t you know I always keep un las for the working grls?” " And he hands her a very good look- ing one, indeed, and she out touched by the kind act and expressing a determina- tion to forsake her evil ways and go to work Score another for Brodie. The nimble pick- pocket is at work in Steve's saloon, but is fetched up with a round turn by the upright proprietor, who sternly admonishes him to go and steal elsewhere; and the escaping fugi- tive, unjustly accused of crime, is protected by the intrepid saloon keeper, who stands off a whole squad of metropolitan police with the unsupported statement that he is Steve Brodie, the king of the Bowery, whereat they all fall back in atttudes indicative of ad- miration and fear, and the persecuted young man escapes without more ado. There is a lot of this sort of thing, which is accepted by the gallerics with loud ho- sannas, and by the parquet with a much better ‘grace than might be expected. For Brodie, tough as he professes to bey lays no claim to being what he s not, although cer- tain envious detractors have seen fit to doubt his well-authenticated prowess as a bridge- jumper. He does not attempt to act. His Is not the art that conceals art. There is no art about his performance. It is nature, pure and simple. The other Bowery characters speak the “tough” dialect which Chimmie Fadden has made familiar. Brodie does not, except in what he announces as an imitation of it. Nor does he speak it fn his common walks off the stage. THat hé has a genu- inely tender heart no one would have doubted Who could have seen him 10 his dressing room last night opening a telegram with news of a well-loved brother! lying at the point of death in a New York hospital. The company, as hintéd, is generally ade- quate to the demands made upon it, and the plece fairly recks with “atmosphere.” Some of the specialties, notably the tramp act of William Mitchell and the gingery set-to be- tween Glenroy and Hogah In Brodie's saloon are of a high order of excellence. The spec- tacular and scenic effects ‘are on a scale which may be called magnificent, the setting of the Brooklyn bridge in the third act being especially realistic, v goes Thoso ‘perennial good ‘fellows and favorite descendants’ from the Irish kings, Conroy and Fox, began yesterday” at’ the Creighton that engagement without which no theatrical seacon I8 complete. The vehicle of their talents this year is called “O'Flarity's Vaca- tion.” Conroy is Casey and Fox Is O'Flar- ity, the latter name having evidently been selected in loving memory of the Missus of that ilk, who, by sitting down upon the hat of a certain Celtic gentleman, laid the foun- dation for a song which has carried the two genlal stars now under consideration to fame and fortune. They have a new song now, which, lacking the pantomimic accompani: ment of the old, will probably not attain its great popular favor, and they ride no in- genuous white horses this year, “O'Flarity's Vacation” belng rather aquatic’ than eques- trian, whereby much unexpected pleasure is denled the audience, But most of t familiar attributes are still in evidence, that dazzling smile of Conroy's, encircled with the red whiskers of old time, the diamond horseshoe which adorns the front of his dress suit, the well known “Brooklyn dia- lect,” which Fox delights to point out to the audience, Fox's gray wig and side whis- kers, the good-natured joshing between the merry pair, the shovings and’ pushings, Con- roy's embarrassed fumbling with the fringe of whiskers which surrounds his face; none are lacking, and no one would wish them to_be. 5 The company, Selected for the most part with an eye to the specialties, which go far to make up the plece, includes a number of efficient people. Hayes and Post are t agile and supple acrobats whose contortions and Kicking always please and they are assisted this year in their triple turn by Katle Allen, the bright littla soubrette whose singing of “I Don't Want to Play in Your Yard" last year was well liked, J. W. Kingsley Is amusing as Geoffrey, while the ladies of the company are not especlally con- spicuous for artistic merit, although most of them are what the gallery calls ‘‘good lookers.” Conroy and Fox are among the best of the geuninely funny laugh-makers. They are wise in their generation for sticking to what they can do well, having ascertained what that s, and if there is little that is new in their entertainment one does not tire as yet of weing the old tricks turned in a manner 5o entirely agreeable. Mr. Walter Turner, manager of Tim Murphy in Hoyt's play, “A Texas Steer,” will arrive from Kansas City today, and superin- tend the advance work incidental to the com- ing of his star at the Boyd the former part of next week. Mr. George W. Sammis, the polished man- ager of Dayis & Keogh's big show, “On the Bowery,” now playing at Boyd's theater, Is one of the best and most favorably known theatrical managers in the country. He got his first experience in the business from Colo- nel Willlam E. Sinn of, Park theater, Brook- lyn, who is about as thorqugh a theatrical man as the country AMGrds. After a fow years at the Park theafer Mr. Simmis was given charge of one of 'the Colonel's road at- tractions, which he hdndled so successfully that In three years he found himself at the head of his own attractio, The enormous business done by “On the Bowery" all over the country Is due in fo gmall degree to his business sagacity.

The comedy is world renowned, hay- ing been presented everywhere. It is now in its third year in London.

Smith & Co, T0 FOLLOW COLONEL GILMAN Promotions that Will Result as the Effete of His Retirement, CHANGES IN COMMISSARY OFFICERS Operation of Law Affects the Status of Several—General Orders from the New der—Recent WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—(Special)—The retirement of Lieutenant Colonel Jeremiah H. Gilman of the Subsistence department, on the 11th of November next, will be of especial interest to Omaha and its contingent of army officers, for the reason that a number of the officers who will be affected by the retirement are either on duty at the headquarters of the Department of the Platte, or have been stationed there some time in the past. Major mpel T. Cushing, who will be promoted to the lieutenant coloneley to succeed Colonel Gilman, was statoned in Omaha as commis- sary of subsistence for the Department of the Platte for about a year, being succeeded in that capacity by Captain Frank E. Nye. Major Cushing left Omaha in 1890, and fs now stationed in Washington as an assistant to Commissary General Morgan. Captain Henry G. Sharpe, who is now at St. Louls, will be made major to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of Major Cushing. There are now ten captains in the commissary de: partment, and as a recent act of congress limited the number of captains to eight, the promotion of Captain Sharpe will not cause a vacancy In that grade, The next retirement in the commissary de- partment will be that of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Wilson, wh will oceur on June 10, 1896. Colonel Wilson is now in New York, but at one time he was stationed in Omaha. This retirement will cause the pro- rotion of Major William A. Elderkin to the lieutenant coloneley, and the promotion of Captain Frank E. Nye to be major. Captain Nye Is now serving as the chief commissary of the Department of the Platte and purc| ing commiss. at Omaha.

One of the first orders issued “by c mand of Major General Miles,” ia a general circular which is published for the informa tion of the army. This circular contains a number of decisions, rulings, etc., which have been rendered recently, relative to im- portant questions of current interest to the officers and soldiers of the army. The first decision given is one repdered by the assistant secretary of war on Sep- tember 107 1895, as féllows: “A soldier on bail for trial by a civil court may, while he 15 in this status, be brought before a military court for trial, but the military proceedings cannot interfere with the civil, and if a term of confinement is likely to be awarded which would cover the time fixed for the man's trial by the civil court, the military trial must be postponed. As the soldier is not withdrawn from duty by the eivil proceed ings, his pay status is not affected thereby.” On September 13, last, Lieutenant General John M. Schofield rendered the following decision: ““The provision of paragraph 183 of the Infantry drill regulations making a captain responsible for the theoretical and practical instruction of his company, does not, nor was it intended to, make him in- dependent in such respect of supervisoin, and it necessary, control by his commanding officer. If the captain s immediately re- sponsible for the company, the colonel fs no less 0 for the captain, and it is the duty of the colonel to see that the efforts of the captain are directed aright. The principle herein set forth is universally applicable to all_such questions as. this." Tha following general order relative to the misfire of cartridges with the new magazine rifle 1s a!so published: *“A number of cases of mio-fire of cartridges, recently found service, may be attributod to the fact that the boit of the rifle was not entirely closed and the handle turned down to its extreme position when the trigger was pulled. At- tention s called to the necessity for pres ing the bolt handle well to place before the trigger 1s pulled in order to avoid the chance of mis-fire. . Failure to properly close the bolt may be due to two causes: First, the handle may not be fully pressed down when the cartridge 1o loaded; second, the soldier in pulling the trigger may press slightly under the handle of tho bolt and| throw it up suf- ciently to cause a misfire.”” Another general order published in this circular provides that acting ordnance officers of posts will fssue spare parts for the new magazine arms only when such parts are actually required to replace broken ones On September 26, 1895, the secretary of war concurred in the opinion of the judge advocate general of the army who ruled that “service as cadet at the United States Mili- tary academy should be included in comput- ing the thirty years' service on ‘which an officer may be retired.” A decision of tho secretary of war ren- dered September 26, last, held that “an en- listed man dishonorably 'discharged for vio- lation of the fiftieth article of war, in enlist- ing in the service without a regular discharge from the organization to which he belongs, will bs reported as ‘dishonorably discharged’ on the records of such organization, and not on that in which he enlisted fraudulently He will be accounted for on the records of the organization fn which he served under flleglan enlistment as ‘dropped,’ with the facts noted against his name.’ On the 24 ‘instant the secretary of war Is- sued an order to the effect that “‘whenever any officer of tha lina or staff is ordered be- fore an examining or retiring board original coples of all official records affecting the character or eflicicncy of the officer on file REFORM IN TOBACCO POUCH No Chemicals Nicotine Neutralized No Nerves Quaking No Heart Palpitating No Dyspeptic Aching ANTI-BS8EE5Fc In any bureau of the War department will be furnished to the adjutant general of the army, and by him forwarded for the con- deration of the respective boards.” - FREIGHT TRAIN DEMOL] 1ED, Ten Cars Broken to Pleces and One Man Killed WATERBURY, Conn., Oct. 13.—A setious freight wreck occurred here tonight, when two parts of a broken train came together.

We should be glad to think that his argument is likely to prevail with congress. It can only be hoped that, as neither political party can carry a measure advantageous to itself alone, the question may be lifted out of the rut of party politics and that a_measure may be adopted acceptable to the whole country.” Courtexy to the Crar, LONDON, Oct. 13.—The Berlin corres- pondent of the Times telegraphs that Em- peror William today received Prince Lobanoff, the Russian minister of foreign affairs, and Chancellor von Hohenlohe, at Hubertu stoc This visit must be regarded, the correspon- dent of the Times continues, as a return of the visit of Chancellor von Hohenlohe to the czar, and as a sign of improved rela- tions.
