More than 100 me@ical men, real and em- bryo, young and old, beld high carnival for about seven comsecutive hours last night The occasion was the annual initistion and banguet of the two local chapters of Phi Rho Sigma, ove of the foremost medical fraternities In the United States. Besides the immediate active membership of the two chapters, Bts and Jota, which cellsbe- rated in the function, there were present many of the 0id alummi of each chapter, besides Phi Rbo Sigms alumni from other chapters over the country. From Kansas, from Illincls and from Jows @id the doctors flock in to the cere- monies, besides scores from Nebraska iteelf. Thus it happened that = dosen cities sent men to swell the snnual gather- ing, and six of the twelve chapters that comprise the fraternity ware repremented. As guest of bomor was Dr. Frank G. Lyaston 3t Ohicago, an alumnus of Beta chapter, st the Sebool of Physiclans and Surgeons in the Windy Citr, and sow a promivent lecturer before classes at that school. In the afterncon Dr. Lydston lec- tured before an sudience of medical men and medical students at Oreighton univer- sity. His was an evolutionary theme at that time, dealing st arm's length with theories Darwinian and Spenceriam, by which men are said to have become men. Last night Dr. Lydston participated ac- tively in & far mere tangible and extremely lstter day demonstration of how men be- come Greeks. He i said to have emjoyed the concrete exposition far better than the abstract elucidstion which preceded it. Eta and lota Chapters. BEta and Jota chapters divided the un- usual honors last night.

There were twice as many prominent physiclans and surgeons of Omaha snd Ne- braska who were admitted into bomorary membership at the same time. These men were allowed to forego the thrills of tor- ture and abuse te which the embryo Greeks and medics were submitted. ball ftself.

OMAHA, March 5.—Te the Bditor of The Bee: With your permission 1 would like | to answer what seems to be a report of a | lecture delivered by Rev. Newton Mann at Unity church last Sundey. It seems s littie surprising that an intel- ligent minister in these duys of learning and research would be willing to present for the consideration of an intelligent sudi ence & rebash of the 0)d, worn-out and oft- exploded theories of the origin and contents of the book of Mormon. The fact that the original manuscript written by Sclomon Spaulding is now at Oberlin college, Ohio, and as stated by Profs. Jumes H. Fairchild, | and L. L. Rice themselves, that it bears no resemblance whatever to the book of Mor- mon taken in consideration with the fur- ther fact that mo evidenoe has been advasced that Solomon Spaulding ever ‘wrote L second manuscript should forever settle this Question in the minds of & resding public. Is this poor, weak, worn-out and untrue theory the best thing that these reverened gentlemen can produce and present against the claim made that the book of Mormon is of divine origin? It can be shown by good and reliable the book of Mormon was published Sidney Rigdon connived with that Bmith and was the real author of Christien church is to lay & grievous charge at the door of those churches as well as to cast opprobrium at the Latter Dy Saints. Is it not a little strange that Rev. Newion Mann should wade through 588 pages of the book of Mormon to prepare himself for his lecture and then mever read or quote a single passage to show that the book & corrupt or unreliable in fts teaching® At least the Teporter hus failed to mention it if he did. Was he afrald of such passages as the following: “Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord For there shall not any man smong you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none. For I, the Lord God, Qelighteth in the chastity of woinel “And it came to pass that 1 was three days and three nights in the most bitter pain and anguieh of soul; and never, until 1 did ery out unto the Lord Jesus Christ for mercy, @1d I receive a remission of my sina.” 1f ‘the book of Mormon is not the stick of Joseph in the hands «f Bphrim (Boek, 57-13- 22) snd the sealed book of Isalsh, the twenty-ninth chapter, will Rev.
