PART OF THE DIVINE PLAN Cities Are Essential to the Existence of Oivilized Nations, AUDITORIUM ESSENTIAL To A cImy Rev. Dr. Ll Mirst Backs Up the Local with Strong Argument Pased on St. Paul's Hoast of Citizenship. Dr. A. C. Hirst, pastor of the First Meth- edist Eplscopal church, preached Sunday morning on the subject the projccted auditorium. His text was from Acts xxi %: “I am a man, a citizen of no mean eity.” A magnificent congregation filled the church and nearly the entire Board of Directors of the Auditorium company was presont “Citles are an absolute necessit sald the pastor, “for progress in sclence, art, tnvention, all commercial and industrial activities, In a word to all that makes up an enriching and permanent civilization. In the divine plan for nations cities have a mission a8 well as individuale, As our per- sonal sphero of action 18 shown by our mien tal and physical characteristics, the mission of a city is declared by certain topographical and historical facts. “To find the pulse of the great cities is o know the pulse of tho nations. The life of our natlon may be Inferred from the characteristics of its great citles. For ex- ample, New York for commercial supremacy. Boston for culture, Chicago for marvelous growth and for universities, while Omaha stands as the mighty gate in the centr basin of the continent, botweon the Oce dent and the Orfent, a city of aggressive im- provement and marvelous latent possibili- ties, a city of business and professional men, wide awake to the vossibilities new century is bringing them, with a ded 80 purpose to make this one of the best and | most prosperous citles of the American re- public “Ono of the master strokes of this bat- to for wdvancement s the bullding of a great and ornamental auditoritm shall serve the purpose of concentrating certain forces which shall fnsure the healthy growth and upbullding of the city.” IVES OF DISC f Transfigaration pirntion to Them AllL Rev. Luther M. Kuhns of the Grace Lutherar church took for the theme of his Sunday morniug sermon An Advent Thought Based on the Transfiguration of Christ.”” The text was from Mark Ix 2, “And He transfigured before them Among other things Rev. Mr. Kuhns sald “The transfiguration of Christ is a scene fiito which it is hard to project ourselves. There is something mysterfous and un- earthly about it that makes it hard to understand perfoctly, and yet there is L " ¢ mare inspiration for us than the transfiguration. Jesus knew many kours of sorrow and sadness. He had spoken to the disciples about his com- ing death and about the trials awalting Bim at Jerusalem, and grief came to them, y were desirous of seelng the master seated on the throme in the zenith of his power. “Following the announcements to the disciples, Jesus took Peter and James and John and led them away from the city to a high mountain. Jesus seemed to rejolce in mountaln solitudes. He regarded them as the natural altars, as homes of the soul ahd refuges for prayer, and to the peace and quiet of these retreats ho went time and again for rest and for the opportunity of instructing the disciples without In- terruption. “Put yourselves in the place of Christ's Qisciples. They had been told of his ap- proaching death and felt that soon they would be parted from him. There are moments which come Into men's lives which weem like the transfiguration; experiences that seom like the hours tho apostles lived on the mountain In the company of the Baviour, when we ream to catch glimpses of peacs more than earthly. These times and moments often come into the lives of Christian people. Thero on the mountain of Hermon, In the hours of the transfigura- tion was f{ssued the command: ‘This Is my beloved son, give heed to him,” and there came to the disciples the realization that Christ was indeed the son of God “Who can tell what influences were born fn that brief moment; influences which were cutreaching and infallible during the many crucial periods that followed. This same realization which came to the apostles impels us to keep constantly in mind that we are not living for riches or the vain ambitions of life. How futile these things scem when the Gethsemeno hours which came to Christ enter also into our lives. Gethsemene is the great coun- terpart of the transfiguration and we need its hours to help us to prepare for the struggles of life and to enable us to be- come better men and women." Mo Scene was NEW PASTOR AT CENTRAL CHURCH, nitinl Ser- elfef in the Bible At the Central United Presbyterian church Rev. J. M. Ross was greeted by a large congregation ycsterday morning. It was Rev. Ross' first sermon as pastor of the church and was an able effort. The in- torfor of the church has been rotinted and renovated during the time the congregation has been without a pastor and is greatly fmproved in appearance. Rev. Ross be- gan his vastorato under favorable circum- ices and Is expected to prove a worthy ssor of Rev. Alexander Gilehrisf resigned the pastorate of the church to en- ter the service of the United Presbyterlan Missfon board. Belief in tho Bible” was the theme of Rev. Ross' discourse. He urged that doubt of any portion of the bible be shunned by Christ's followers and that it bo accepted without quibbling. ‘“The bible fs not a book of which any man need be ashamed. Ag- nostics submit it to (he test of so-called reason and attempt to pick it to pieces The book is above reason, yet it is not con- trary to reason,” said the preacher. “We esteem It & great honor to make the ac- quaintance of the wuthor of some helpful boolk. It is pleasure to talk with men and women whn have published thelr thoughts and benefited the world. But how much greater should be our love and esteem for Him who gavo us the book of books. “God has given us a book which has stood the test of centuries and has gulded the world in its progress. Great men have been directed by the teachings of this admirable book. Its influence has extended into all parts of the world. 1t work whicn inspired Grant and Lincoln and other lead- ers to save the unfon. When Queen Vie- torfa was asked to explaln the cause of England's greatness she poiuted to the bible. What more eloquent tribute could bave been pald to the great masterpiece? “Yet the teachings of this book are of no avall to the man who reads it and does not believe. Nero was taught by the greatest philosophers of his time, but he did uot fol- low thelr precepts. He pretended to accept the noble sentiments of Seneca, but his life dly at variance with the teachings of reat Roman, “In the bible may be found tho true philosophy of happiness in this world and in the world beyond.

Suggestions for the proposed new city | charter are coming in thick and fast to the various committees working on the doc- | ument. The citizens’ committee does not pear to be doing anything of moment and | for that matter the same may be sald of | the Commercinl club committee. It is true | that Attorney A. P. Wells has formulated a | 1o of ideas which he hopes to Incorporate in the new charter, but the fact that he is a corporation attorney will possibly be agalnst his report when it is submitted Among the suggestions made to the trio | of corumittees is the need of a tax commli | stoner. 1t fs advocated that a man shall | be employed for this purpose, who shall re- celvo a good salary and thus place him |DOD, Wis., where he was to wed Miss Nellle | where Le cannot be influenced sessment of the valuation is made on th lines 1t s stated that the revenue of the municipality will be greatly increased. A board of review is suggested. This board is to consist of the mayor and two free- holders, who will pass upon cases where an exception has been taken. The dutles of the bourd will be to revise and arbi- trate and all taxpayers who have a com- plalnt will be given a hearing. It fs rec- ommended that no valuation on property shall be'increased without due notice belng given. The matter of paving Is causing consider- able worry on account of the courts hav- ing declared certain paving assessments 11- legal. In this connection one taxpayer sald that he would favor a proposition compell- 1ng the city to pay for one-half of the pav- | irg, thus cutting down the district indebt- edness. While this might and probably would ncrease the general debt the public at large receives the benefit Another suggestion in this matter is the abolition of paving and grading petitions. All the trouble the city {s now having in the courts is caused by defective petitions and it this feautre is abolished it {s figured that a number of lawyers who make a spe- clalty of prosecuting cases against the mu- nicipality would have to turn their atten- tion to something else. Hewever, instead of a petition the councll Is to be empowered, | providing the sugge.tfon carries, to grade | or pave and assess the cost egainst tho abut- ting property, of course deducting the amount coming from the city. Thirty days' notice 18 to bo given in such cases and the | council may be deterred from carrying out the provisions of the regulations only by a protest from the majority of the property | owners In the district. Now the council | has no authority to grade, pave or improve | streets without a petition signed by a ma- Jority of property owners of the district. |~ Again it 1s suggested that the number of wards be Incrensed according to population. | In one of the charters now under construe- | tion there is a proviso that the city be cut | into six wards and that there be six coun- | cfimen, each to be elected at large. By re- | ducing the number of councilmen there will bo a saving of $600 in salaries and the elec- tion at large will mean that every voter is permitted to express his choice for municl- | pal lawmakers, It is generally conceded that the city treasurer should recefve a salary commen- 1t an as- the office. In this event Interest on dally balances will treasurty. One very important feature being con- sidered 18 the granting of franchises. In this connection it is suggested that mno franchises of any kind be granted or any existing franchises renewed without pro- viding for a royalty for the city. The gas company now pays a certaln sum per year for the privileges granted and other cor- porations will be compelled, it this sugges- tion is adopted, to pay a percentage of the income into the municipal strong box. It 18 figured that the street car company, the water company, the electrio light people and others can he compelled to contribute | under the proposed regulation. Conncil Meeting Tonlght. At tonight's meeting of the city council it 18 expected that the boller inspector ordinance will come up for its third read- ing and final passage. Since this ordi- nance was referred to the judiclary com- mitteo several changes have been made with the expectation that the alterations will meet with the ideas of all concerned. Aside from the passage of this ordinance there 18 little of importance to look for- ward to at the session this evenlng. Stockholders Meeting Today. At 10 o'clock this forenoon the stockhold- ers of the Unlon Stock Yards company will hold their annual meeting here. Quite a number of eastern stockholders arrived yesterday and the chances are that there will be a good representation of the owners of the property. It is generally conceded that the present officers will be re-elected, as the business at the yards has grown rapidly under the guldance of the present general manager. Hunting Holdups. Tho police were busy yesterday hunting for the men who held up and robbed W. C. Carr on Saturday night. Carr still re- mains at the city jall, where he is re- celving the best of medical treatment at the expense of the city. Another general clean-up was ordered by Chief Mitchell and all susplelous characters are being placed under arrest, P ported some better yesterday And now it looks as If the proposed news- paper consolidation {s off for sure.

NO TRACE HAS BEEN FOUND OF RAY BIRUM Young Colorndo Miner Starts Home of His Wisconain Dride, but Vanishes Near Omahn, Leav ing No Clue Behind. What has become ot Ray Birum, bride- greom in prospect? His buckskin wallet, heavy with gold, |and his spirits light with pleasant antici- | pations, this young man left his home at | Victor, Colo., October 25, destinded to Lan- | Jones, the saweetheart of his childhood. He o | hns never been seen or heard from directly | be seen at the Orpheum this week since. Rumor has it that he was shot, | decperately wounded and robbed in a | suburb of Omaba, but this report comes through such devious channels as to leave its authenticity in doubt. It s a very “queer’’ state of affairs, eay the detectives who have been at work on the case. How- | ever, there is this to substantiate it: The | blood-stained shirt and vest worn by the | young man when he left home, plerced by a bullethole, have been returned by mail to the anxious mother at Victor. Letter from a “Docto Accompanying the gruesome package wai |a badly-spelled and ill-constructed letter, | written by a personage who has played a | most mysterious part in this case from the first. He signs himeel “Dr. Guer” and |says he was a witness of the shooting affair near Omaha. He has written alto- gether two lotters, the first to Miss Jones, | flancee of the missing man, the second to | Mrs. M. M. Birum, the mother Both epis- | ties are meager in detail, both elusive, im- probable and altogether unsatistactory. Detectives and police officers who have worked upon the case are utterly baffled It 1s without a parallel, they say, in their experience. | One theory advanced by the sleuths, which upon its face eeems tenable, is that young | Birum, tiring of his matrimonial bargain, | hit upon the expedient of a “fake” shoot- Ing affray to account for fts nonfullment | According to this conjecture, Birum ha seen fit to drop quietly out of his acel tomed groove of life; he has engaged an | accomplice to write misleading lettors ana | to send the ghastly package to his mother | without so much as taking the trouble to | tell her a plausible lte. This hypothesis ‘u confuted, however, by several circum- | stances. He has property in Victor, which he would hardly abandon for the suke of such a whim. He was negotiating for the |purchase of a house there. There was every reason to belleve he loved his flancee and it s certain that their alllance was | favored by the families of both. | The situntion admits of but this alterna- tive: The boy was wayiaid and robbed by thugs and 1s now either dead or in such condition that he cannot communlicate with | his friends. uttship Began in Childhood. Ray Birum first met Miss Nellle Jonus sixteen years ago in the little town of | Utley, Wis. Both were children then, but as their families wero near neighbors and intimate friends Ray used to draw Nelli to school on his sled and “see her home' from parties Then Nellle's mother died. Soon after this the Birum family moved to Victor, Colo., Mr. Jones settled with his children at Lannon, Wis., and from this time forward communication between the households was limited to the letters ex- changed by Ray and Nellie. In Colorado Ray Birum gave his attention to mining and in the course of & few years acquired a competence. Last fall, while Mrs. Birum was visiting in a nelghboring town, Ray wrote his mother a letter notifylug her of his engage- ment to Miss Jones. The wedding was to take place early in the winter, he said. A few days later he sent his flancee a beauti- ful dlamond ring. October 25 Ray Birum left Victor, Colo., to attend his nuptials in the Wisconsin vil- lage. He had with him, in the long leather wallet commonly carrled by miners, consid- erable money, somewhere in the neighbor- hood of 8700, his mother thinks, and a small brown band-satchel contalning mineral spec- imens and clothing. Ten days passed and there was no word from Ray Birum. Enter, the Mystery, Then the anxious vigil of the bride-elect in the Wisconsin town was interrupted by the receipt of this remarkable note, bearing the Omaha postmark, and dated Novem- ber 2 Miss Nellle Jonea—That youn man you are looking for wont be thare for some time He met with an accident that he will not recover in less than 60 or % days, He was not to blame for this predicament T will only say that he was shot through the left slde and T am going to take him away when he has recovered lie will ox- plane for himself. Very truly, DR, — This was written on a typewriter, evi- dently by one not familiar with the use of the machine, and, besides being Innocent of punctuation, was original as to spelling and grammar. It was the first epistolic ef- fort of the mysterious Dr. Guer to appear in this case. Upon advices recelved from Marshal O'Connell of Victor detectives from the Omaha police department went to work, the first object being to find the “doctor,” but thelr efforts were abortive. No such man, 80 far as they could ascertain, lived in Omaha or near Omaha. Crews of Burling- ton passenger trains were interviewed, but there was no record of & passenger answer- ing Ray Birum's description. The authori. tles were about to glve up the search when new interest was injected into the case by the receipt of the “‘doctor's” second letter. Here He Comes Again. This time the missive was a mere note scribbled in lead pencil and accompanted the bloody shirt and vest which had been worn by tho missing boy. Postmarked at Seattle, Wash., it was addressed to Charles Birum, Victor, Colo,, Ray's brother.

This is the extent of the information vouchsafed the family and flancee of the young man @s to his fate and even this is palpably untrue as to serve only to com- ate the mystery Mrs, Bizum has this to say of her lost son, in a letter to the Omaha chief of police: “Shortly before leaving he was warned by & friend against visiting questionable resorts or talking with strangers and he answered, very emphatically: ‘I'll make a confident of no one.’ He also said he'd not stand a holdup, that he would fight for his money, and that no one could take it from him unless he took it from his dead body. I never knew of Ray's having any trouble, or of his having a fight with anyone. He ‘Wwas & good billiard and pool player and he wes fond of the games, but never associate with {mmoral people. “He wns very observing and a great in vestigator—would face danger to inquir into anything mysterious—could read huma fol wa bu Mis: to catch a joke; had & hearty salute children, of whom he was very fond liberal-hearted with personal frien quist and distant among etrangers is bearing up nobly and is tireiess in hei search.” The Omaha police have abandoned the case, but his family and the girl in Wis consin are still hopeful that Ray wil emerge from obscurity. |# AMUSEMENTS. 0000000000009 | At the Orphenm— It would be dificult to arrange a bill of Iveller sketches than those which are to The list has the merit of belng longer than usual and brimfull of new things.
