BAPIISTS LAY CORNERSTO E Formal Btart on Erection of New Oalvary Oburch is Made, SHOWS PROSPERITY OF THE ORGANIZATION Large Concourse of Clergy and Mem- bers of the Charch Attend the Ceremony Whieh Marks the Event, The laying of the cornerstone of the mew Calvary Baptist church Saturday afternoou brought out a large number of the members and friends of the church, as well as many pastors of the denomi- mation in other parts of the city and state. The services were under the direction of tho pastor, Rev. Thomas Anderson, as- sisted by I W. Carpenter, chairman of the bullding committee. At 2:30 o'clock the ceremony began by the singlog of a hymn by the persons present. This was fol- lowed by an invocation by Rev. E. A. Rus sell of Ord, state representative of the Baptist Publication soclety. Following the fuvocation Kev. Thomas Anderson read selections from the scriptures and intro- duced Rev. H. 0. Rowlands of Lincoln, who dolivered the address of the day. The speaker opened his remarks by paying a tribute to the energy and ability of the paster of the Calvary church, who in the nine years of his pastorate has added largely to the membership of the organi- zation until its home at the corner of Twenty-fifth and Seward streets / is too small for its use. He sald in part “This edifice 18 a recognition of God and the disposition of His people to honor, wor ship and serve Him. It is true that deity can be seen and may be communed with evorywhere. He is in the sunshine and in the tempest, in the light and in the dark- ness. All nature is vocal and trembles with His presence. In the sanctuary is another evidence of the deity. Here He appears as tho father of men. He manifests Himeelt as supplicable to the beseechments of human reason “You here lay the cornerstone of an edifico sacred to the help of man. The glory of God is firmly linked with the best woclal, moral and spiritual interests of man. The house you are about to build is to be the birthplace and nourishing house of schomes of benevolence, charity and mis- sionary effort. This edifice will proclaim the falth of the worshipers in the religion of Jesus Christ. It s a declaration of their faith in the facts, doctrines and principles that cluster around the name and lite of the Nazarene.” At the conclusion of the address I. W. Car- penter lald the cornerstone. In this wos placed a history of Calvary church from its organization in 1886, with about forty mem- bers, until the present time when it has over 300, a copy of the Baptist publications, of the city dally papers, a bible, the origi- mal dollar which was contributed for the erection of the church, together with a roster of the members. Among the minis- ters present at the laying of the corner- stone were Rev. Charles Brinstad, repre- sentative of the state missionary conven- tion, Rev. C. B. Allen of the First Baptist church, Rev. George Van Winkle of South Omaha, Rev. Reichenbach of the Danish Baptist church, Rev. B. F. Fillman of Grace Baptist church and Rev. H. W. Davis of Immanual Baptlst church. The new church will be one of the largest in the city. It will have a seating capacity of nearly 1,000, and the lscture room, au- ditorium and Sunday school class rooms are o divided that they may be thrown into one room when desired. The church will be dedicated freo from debt. EVENING WITH WILD ANIMALS Ernest Scton-Thompson Gl Omaha Frie a Most Delig! ful Experience. For more than an hour and a half last night Wahb, Lobo, Rag, Vixen and other animals which Ernest Seton-Thompson has clothed with interest appeared on a canvas at the First Methodist church and did the bldding of Mr. Seton-Thompson, who told sgain the tales which he published in his volumd, “Wild Animals I Have Known." After hearing the swarthy Canadian tell of his aulmal friends it 1s easy to bellevo that he has really known them. A large audience greeted Mr. Seton-Thompson and Mstened attentively to his appreclation ot nature. His entertalnment 18 mot a lec- turo after the manner of the traditional platform orator, but the confidential talk of a nature-lover. After years of outdoor lite Mr. Seton- Thompson has learned many of the secrets of birds and by and he tells of these In such an artless, simple manner that a child can understand. He imitates, the call of birds and the signals o! animals. He Bas bocome a confidentlal advisor of dan- gerous beasts and brings to men the mes- sage that they need fear no harm from savage friends as long as neutrality is malutained. He seeks to have men abandon the gun for the camera, and pleads for the animals which man is slaughtering without reason. The entertainment closed with the de- scription of a moose huat in Manitoba. A plcture was shown of a Canadian land- scape fiooded with the light of an October moon and the speaker imitated the songs SORES AND ULCERS.

TO RELIEVE SUPREME COURT A the Rar oclation Decldes to Support n for a Commission Temporarily, The Douglas County Bar assoctation last night passed a resolution favoring the passage of a law by the state legislature providing for the appointment of n mission of nine members, to be selected By the gupreme court to assist In trylng the cases on the docket of the higher tribunal. The action was the result of an exhaustive discussion of ways and means for providing rellef for the judges of the supreme court in the present overcrowded state of the docket The attendance was large, as the question Is one of especial Interest to attorneys all over the state at the present time. When the regular speakers on the program had expressed ldeas of the expedients to bo tried the views of all the members present were called for The president of the local assoclation ex- plained that there are two favored meth- ods of finding a remedy for the existing difculty—constitutional revision and con- stitutional amendment. These methods look to the creation of @ supreme court with a larger scope than the one now in existence. A third method is the establish- ment of a commission to assist the judges until amendment or revision, elther of which will require several years' time, can be secured Judge Wakeley, in an interesting discus slon of the subject, sald that the reason why the docket is so badly overcrowded ltes in a briet provision In the bill of | rlghts. This section specifies that it shall be the right of any litigant to be heard In the higher tribunal on a writ of appeal The result of the provision s that the court 1s flooded by a class of litigation that ought never to be heard there. Judge Wakeley said that he could not recall another state in the union which numbered this provision among its statutes. He sug- gested that the right of appeal be a companied by conditions tending to dis- courage appeal Another remedy suggested by Judge Wakeley 1 the creation of an intermediate appellate court Invested with the power of final judgment In specified clusees of casos without the double appeal system. As n | temporary expedient he recommended a commission, but favored a limited number of members, six in preference to nine. C. C. Wright told of a recent trip through the state, when he had made it a polnt to ask the opinfons of attorneys in the various towns and citles he had vis- ited. Tho prevalent opinion among N braska lawyers, he said, Is that the legisla- ture must be requested to appoint a com- wisslon at the court's selection. The m Jority of those with whom he had talked were In favor of allowing the legislature to determine the size of the commission without regard to suggestions by various bar assoclates Among the other speakers were T.

Schaefer, the western agent for the Cramer Chemical company of Albany, N. Y. gave his experience on the com- pany's great kidney and liver cure, which Is being so extensively advertised in the cast, us well as in lowa and Nebraska. He sald: “Eight months ago 1 was called to Albany by the menagement and asked if [ would accept the agency of their remedy in the west. I explained to them that my position in Omaha was a pecullar one— being the original cut-price drugglst In Nebraska—something I am proud of—that some drugglsts would not feel very kindly toward me. Their answer was: ‘Whenever you meet a drugglst who does not see a business proposition in the offer you make him on our goods, pass him up. You are wasting time on him. We depend entirely on the merits of our prephrations to make them sell. They have got trouble on their minds and their business qualifications are %0 insignificant that it will make no differ- ence. Goods properly advertised create a demand and if they don't keep them in stock people will go where they can get them. The days of the roorback in the drug business of trylng to sell people some- thing else ““just as good” is a thing of the past. Pe understand thelr game, for it is because they make more money on their cheap trash—which is not known—and never had & person to testify to Its curing qualities.’ tion, that if they would allow me to use as much space in newspapers as I thought best, and allow me to follow out my own 1deas, I would accept the western agency— which they kindly consented to do. 1 was then shown through the advertising, manu- facturing and stock room, as well as ship- ping departments. The advertising depart- ment, in which I was most interested, con- talned a host of stenographers, who were busy sending out advertising matter to people all over the east as well as in the west. The shipping room and stock room looked to me as If they were doing business in a 1 made the company a propogl- | landoffice style, while seven men are kept | constantly on the road adveriising and selling this great remedy. Here's a fele- gram from the company, received today, in which they state they have shipped me 100 gross of samples—and in a few days I will have the state of Nebraska canvassed and free samples distributed and will also have lady demonstrators in twelve of the leading stores In the state.”” Mr. Schaefer informed us that as soon as he can dispose of his retail store he will remove to Al- bany to take charge of the advertising department of this now wonderful kidney and lives cure—as the company were 8o well pleased with the fncreased business during the past few months that they had declded to erect a large bullding of their own and increase their working force 150 making a total of 433 employe Seuth Omaha News . Mayor Kelly returned last night from Ord, Neb., where he spent the greater part of the week looking after some cattle law- sults In which he s interested. His first information of any criminal charges against him were conveyed by a Bee representative who called at his residence lust evening After learning the purport of the charges the mayor said: “From those connected with the prose- cutlon it Is evident that po good purpose 18 Intended, but on the contrary, question- able advantages sought. Owing to threats previously made this action was not un- expected. 8o far I am not subservient or obligated to the element In question and purpose to remain As long as T am the chief executive city will not be permitted to relapse into the debauched condition that has at times characterized the administration of its affalrs. I can see no greater wrong in the discharge ot my officlal conduct than to allow this city and Its affalrs to be deminated by un- scrupulous petty politiclans. This con- troversy has now reached the courts, where a full opportunity will be given all cerned to develop the facts in light."" 80. this con- their full Use of Cattle Tralls, In yesterday's Bee notice was given that ithority had been granted by the Interior department for the establishment of a cat- tlo trall between the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Indian agencles, the object being to permit ranchmen in the northwest- ern part of South Dakota to get their cat- tlo to market quickly and prevent a long detour. Cattlemen are not now allowed to cross the Indian reservations with their Berds, but this order will make a radical change In existing conditions. Concerning the opening of this trail a prominent mem- ber of the Live Stock exchange said yester- day: In the matter of the opening of the res- ervations for the Wriving of cattle to the lines of the Northwestern and Milwaukee & St. Paul roads attention fs called to the fact that there has been an cld practice fu vogue whereby the owners of cattle and other stock who desire to cross the Rose- | bud or Pine Ridge reservations from north to’ south must make application to the United States Indlan agent for the privilege. Iu this application the number of stock and a8 nearly as possible the route to be fol lowed must be Indicated. A small fee |s charged for the privilege and an escort of Indian police 1s usually provided. In the fall of 1897 the Department of the Interlor granted authority for the occasional driving of small berds across these reservations from vorth to south, but not from south to north, Cattleowiers who now desire to drtve herds to foed lots In Nebraska or to the South Omaha market for shipment from points on the Elkhorn can now avail them- selvos of this privilege upon application to the Indlan agents at Pine Ridge or Rose- bud."
