BTICKS TO'HIS TEXT, NOTWITHSTANDING Entroduces Himself as One Who Be- lieves in Preaching from the Book and as Belleving What It Temohes. 1t was under some difficulties that Rev. Robert Kerr Eccles began his pastorate of the Baptist church, Twenty-fourth and Bin- ney streets, Sunday morning. He arrived ast Friday from his former home in Bow- Bing Green, O., about which city ofl well derricks tower as numerously as chimney pots in London, and he was in & mood to praise the clear, invigorating Nebraska at- mosphere, but it unluckily happened that pomething had gone wrong with the furnace and the church was so full of gas that the packed congregation was all but in tears from coughing and its newly arrived pastor was partially obscured by the haze. 1In beginning his sermon, which was short, %o announced himselt as old-fashioned enough to preach from a text, and he read the sixteenth verso of the second hapter of the eplstles to the Romal Preaches from the Book. #*According to my gospel,” he quoted. “My pel, my friends, directs that I read from fi'u book and preach from what I read therein.

In the slums it does more good than a whole posse of constables and it helps whom it saves, not only spiritually but physically.

It is practical and it is what T hope to promulgate, trust- $og that it will suit in this, my new hom CHRISTIANS HAVE ALL THINGS. Rev. Anderson Says They Are More Than Billionaires. “A Glorious Inheritance” was the theme for the morning sermon of Rev. Thomas {Anderson at Calvary Baptist church Sunday morning. The twenty-first verse of chapter three of Paul's first letter to the Philliplans gurnished the text in these four words: #All things are yours.” Rev. Mr. Anderson pald in part: “This i & rich text, one of the mountain Cexts of the bible. It is inexhaustible in the inventory of a Christian's wealth which 4t presents and it sugge: an oceanic theme, defying all attempts of the preacher fo confine it to any one phase. “The very poorest Christian is now a billionaire, and more, for that falls to ex- press it. He is the helr of the ages. All that is past ia his. All things present and come are his. We talk of gaining the rid and losing one's soul, but the Chris- tlan gaing tho world at the time when he @nds his soul. “The inventory of a Christian's wealth may not promise much to you at first glance, but open it up and you realize more and more how vast it fs.

But melther do I believe that the Baptist church fas all the truths in its teachin, “Again, the world is ours. We may have mothing, but still possess all things.

At the First Presbyterian church Sun- day morning the pastor, Rev. Bdwin Hart Jenks, preached from the theme, “‘The Best Robe,” being a text trom the fifteenth chap- ter of the gospel according to St. Luke, which tells the story of the prodigal son's return, “Jesus cited this parable,” sald the pas- tor, ““to appease some of his aposties, who had murmured because he received sinners and ate with them. The tendency is to show how natural it is for a father to re- jolce because of the return of a son sup- posed to be lost. Love endures forever, and follows its objbct to the end of the chapter. Hope may fail, faith may fail, but love s everlasting. We cannot always tell why we love another. There comes a swell- ing of the heart, and one feels that all his ideals and purposes of life has been changed—but he doesn’t know why he should be drawn so irresistibly toward that one particular mortal out of all the others in the world. Bring forth the best robe and put it on him. What is the meaning of the robe? It means that he is a son again; that he who was dead is alive.” ABOUT MRS. HOUGHTON'S COW Much Legal Proceeding Over Bovine that She is Named “Litigat! Judge Vinsomhaler of the county court I8 about to be called upon to decide who owns the cow that Mrs. Bmma D. Houghton of 2413 Capitol avenue had before John W. Cooper and Justice of the Peace Foster at- tached it. To those unfamiliar with the cow's his- tory there is nothing extraordinary about her. Her walst measure is about the same a8 other cows’, her manicuring is nothing to boast of and it has even been suspected that she is knock-kneed. But her mame is “Litigation” and she has been responsible tor all kinds of 1 papers being served within the last few week: The trouble, 1t is sald, started when Mrs. Houghton stumbled over a brace at the carnival grounds during the last Ak-Sar- Ben festivities. Foster and Cooper, Who were boarding at her home, undertook to get damages for her by means of the usual legal negotiations with the city. The city went to the Ak-Sar-Ben managers. And the Ak-Sar-Ben managers went straight to Mrs. Houghton. But of this latter fact, the attorneys say they were not made co ant. They grew suspicious only when some new furniture arrived at the Houghton home. Then they, too, went to their land- lady. They wished to know if the matter had been compromised without thelr sanc- tion and Mrs. Houghton told them that she had $300 cash, as an evidence of the ac- curacy of their guess. They suggested that attorneys do not negotiate for nothing, and she suggested that the weather was as profitable & toplc of conversation, as they could take up at that particular time, The men of law felt piqued, went into court and when she confessed judgment In the sum of $125, they sent a constable clear out to the county line to waylay a man who was bringing Mrs. Houghton's cow home from a visit with relatives in Washington county. The comstable attached the cow for the amount of the fees alleged to be due Foster and Cooper. But Mrs. Houghton bas a daughter, Essle, who knows a thing or two or three herself, and she clalmed the cow her own, and succeeded in re- plevining it. The meck-eyed dairy ad- junct is back in Washington oounty again and the title to her is what Judge Vinson- haler s to decide. Bot that Is not the end of the litigation. Foster and Cooper have also inatituted sult against Walter Jardine, as a member of the Ak-Sar-Ben board, alleging that he owes them damages In the sum of $250 for inducing Mrs. Houghton to break her nominal contract with them. This also is to come before the county judge for set- tlement. M'CARTHY BUYS THE DRINKS Him Seventeen Dollars Square Joke Sprung in Varlety Theater, Eugene McCarthy has been making money out in Wyoming and came to Omaha the other day with a willingness to spend some of it. He got the opportunity sooner than he expected. Out around Casper, where comes from, it is correct form to buy a drink every time your mame is spoken, and it becomes second nature to a well-to-do sheep man to spesk up promptly on such occaslons. i McCarthy went to & local theater, where & pair of Irish comedians Were earning their bread and prewsels by the sweat of their jaws. One of them was supposed to be named McCarthy, but the real McCarthy out in front didn't know that. Neither did be know that the other member of the team says the same old things night after night. Finally, this comedian, following his sched- ule, waved his hand before him and shouted: “McCarthy, the drinks are om you!" The man from Wyothing was on his feet before he had time to think what he ‘was about, and called back: “I don't know yes, but if they're on me T'll buy thim! What will yes taker* ‘When McCarthy got back to the Mer- chants’ hotel that night it cost Bim just a little over $17, to prove to his friends that he fully appreciated that the joke was on bim, Mr. McCarthy, it may be related in- cidentally, went to Casper elght years ago without & thing on earth, but an unpleasant memory of Cincinnatl. Today he owns 10,000 sheep and a bank account that is lusty snd growing. Announcem. of the Theaters.

CONTRACT MAY BE LET THIS WEEK Bullding to Be Put Up This & Will Be One of Permanent Dormi- tories After Other Structures Are Completed. A contract for the construction of the Presbyterian seminary probably will be let this week, and work will be started by April 1. The bullding to be constructed this spring will be 50x150 feet in area, three stories high. It is intended to be one of the permanent dormitories, but until the other bufldings can be erected it will be used for the seminary proper. The first floor will for the present contain the class, study and lecture rooms. The second and third floors will be prepared for dormitories. The ground secured by the seminary con- tains about five acres bounded by Twenty- first, Twenty-second, Spencer and Emmet streets. The building t6r which plans are now prepared will face Emmet street. general plan of the grounds contemplates the erection of three other bufldings of the size of the first one. The permanent public building, containing the lecture rooms, class rooms and study rooms will face Twenty- first street. Facing Spencer street will be another dormitory, while a library bulld- ing will face Twenty-second street. Be- tween the library bullding and the dormi- tories will be six or eight cottages, the dwelling of the teachers at the seminary. In the center of the tract, surrounded by the several bulldings, will be a quadrangle or court, containing an acre or more, which wil] insure suficient light and air for each building. The completion of the plan of the man- agers of the seminary depends upon the receipts of the institution from ordinary sources and the liberality of its friends. It is said that as soon as the institution is in its new quarters there will be nearly twice as many puplls in the classes as there are mow. The faculty hopes to be able to open the fall term of school in the new building. Amusements. At the Boyd. Not since the days of the opera “H. M. 8. " has there a company of juvenile theatrical performers been seen in Omaha until Sunday afternoon, when Pollard's Au- stralian Juvenile Opera company opened an engagement at Boyd's theater, presenting “The Galety Girl,” a two-act musical comedy. The company numbers thirty-eight children. Thirty-two of whom are girls and six boys, ranging In age f rom 7 to 13 years. Eight of these are Mr. Pollard's own children, each of which appears In a leading role. The children are all talented and aside from the novelty of the attraction it is really deserving of praise for its merit as a pleasing entertainment. As would naturally be expected of actors and ac- tresses of such tender years, the young- sters are a trifie shy on histrionic ability, although the comedy portion of the play is well sustained. The children are all Au- stral born and speak with a broad Eng- lish accent, which at times is a trifie hard to understand, but not so much so as to be annoying. The ensemble work is quite remarkable the choruses being praiseworthy for both strength and harmony. Daphne Pollard,.a mite of 7, is the distinctive hit of the plece. She enacts the comedy role of Corporal Lance, and there is not a minute while she is on the state, that the audience is not kept in an uproar of laughter. The interpolation of a little French song by her in the second art won a half dozen encores, and she was forced to repeat a little dance, which she did, a llke number of times, ‘Willle Pollard a lad of 12, won considerable applause for his clever comedy work in the part of Chaplain Brierly. His make up and facial expressions would do credit to many comedians much his senifor. The Major Barclay of Willle Thomas, a 10-year-old, was both amusing and praiseworthy. Madge ‘Woodson, a tiny tot, wore the clothes and dignified air of a granse dame in the part of Lady Virginia Forrest. Alice, Connle and Ivy Pollard, all have good singlog voices and all were given an opportunity to display thelir abllity in solo numbers. Monday and Tuesday night “The Mascotte will be the offering. Monday afternoon there will be a special matinee of “The Gelsha” and the engagement will close Wednesday night with the same plece. At the Orpheum. The Orpheum furnishes a vaudeville en- tertainment this week that is well worth seeing. The program is widely diversified and there is not an act among the eight of which it is made up but possesses some meritorfous feature. Marle Walnwright, the well-known actress, heads the bill with a one-act play by Theodore Kramer, entitled, “The Lady and the Clock.” It is an eplsode supposed to have occurred in the time of Cromwell's invasion of Ireland and while it does not give Miss Wain- wright the opportunity to display her talent that one might wish it will please the aver- age vaudeville audience much better than & more artistic one. Wenona and Frank are experts extraordinary with the rifle. They do some novel fancy shooting as well as much that is conventional. James Cul- len has a dozen good parodies on popular songs that are entertaining and some good jokes, as well as some that are so old that the time limit should be sprung on them. Sidney Grant imitates well-known actors cleverly. The St. Leon family does a con- ventional acrobatic act. The Clipper quar- tet offers a half-dozen well remdered seleo- tions and the Wingate sisters a rather medlocre trapeze act. Troeadero. At the Trocadero this week two new and original burlesques, entitled, “At Gay Coney Island” and “Mixed and Twisted, give promise of novelty and lively enter- taloment. Other features make up a bill of the customary attractions. SAYS HIS WIFE HAS TEMPER William P.

A, who will retire under the age limit Wednesday, a surprise in the way of & complimentary banquet. About & dozen of his intimate associates in civil d military life assembled at the club and brought the colonel into the dintg room under falee pretense. After the feast, O. C. Redick, as spokesman for the banqueters, presented the colonel with a loving cup of silver, upon which as handles are mounted the horns of a buck skilltully done In the same metal. Several short talks were made, to which the colonel responded in a Eappy vein. Colonel Wilson has been stationed at Omaha for more than a year. He came as chief commissary of the Department of the Missouri and remained in that position until Major Niskern was assigned to that duty, when he became Inspector general. Colonel Wilson ¢ mow leutenant colonel of the Twenty-fifth regiment, an organiza- tion with which he has been identified since its organization. He entered the army from civil life during the eivil war. He & record for senlority which is hard to equal. For a dozen years he was Lhe senior first-lieutenant of the army, ten years of which he was adfutant of the regiment. Then followed almost as many years when he was senior captaln. The Spanish war made advancement more rapid and he was a major for only a comparatively short time, having been made lieutenant colonel since his arrival in this department. Dur- Ing the Spanish war he was detalled to duty in the commiseary department, which posi- tion he retained until recently. Colonel Wilson is the principal owner of & state bank at Laurel, Neb., and owns a large tract of land in the me county, which has been divided into farms. He will reside in Sioux City, which is only a few miles from his Nebraska property, and has secured a home at Eleventh and Plerce streets in that city to which he will remove in a week or two. RUMORS OF LABOR TROUBLE Hod Carriers’ Union May Have Griev- ance Regarding Work om New Shops. Rumors of trouble between the Hod Car- riers’ union and the contractors for the new Union Pacific shops have been heard in labor circles for a day or two and it has been said that it might culminate in trike of the bullding trades. A member of the Bricklayers' union, the one most directly interested aside from the hod car- riers, sald: “The trouble originates over something outside of the control of the unions and it seems difficult to see how the bricklayers can be involved, en though the hod car- riers should not secure their demands. From what I can understand, the terms of the contract between the rallroad and the contractors provide that the rallroad com- pany shall furnish all of the unskilled labor required, paying this labor and recelving credit upon the amount fnvolved in the contract. It is now sald that the company will use this unskilled labor to do the work usually done by the hod carriers and plasterers’ and bricklayers’ helpers. “I do not think that the Bricklayers’ union, under these circumstances, can afford to make trouble for the contractor, who will employ union labor where he employes any. The brick ‘will have to be laid by members of the Omaha union, as there are not enough workmien of the other kind to get the work doné. This is going to be a busy year and {n ofder to have the work done on time no’trouble’ can be permitted. The Bricklayers® dnfon s conservative and cannot afford to''make trouble where it can possibly be avoided. FORBEARANCE OF AMERICANS Major Milsap Speaks of Conduct of Trying Times. Major John Milsap, general secretary of the Salvation army for Jowa and Nebraska, who recently returned from the Philippine islands, where he spent over a year in re- liglous work, referring yesterday to his experience sald: “That which impresses me most in con- nection with my experience in and about Manila, aside from the interesting and valuable results of Salvation army work there, is the view..so many people take of the attitude of the American govern- ment in the Philippines. Of ‘cour I am opposed to wars among nations, but I must say the policy of the United States there s deserving of support and approval of all men. The forbearance of the American soldiers with respect to the Filipinos dur- ing the trying and exciting scenes attend- ing the capture of Manila and afterward exclted my admiration and respect. The situation was for a long time not generally sccurately understood, but since them the country has become informed in detall of the conditions obtalning there and the dif. ficulties attending the establishment eral peace. Time is an important element in problems of this kind, where ignorance 80 erally prevalls. I believe this gov- ernment could not have adopted a differ- ent policy and I further belleve the na- tives will, as they become better informed, recognize this fact, and also that their condition now is immeas ly better ti it was and will tmprove time goea by. BIG WEEK FOR THE JOBBERS Secretary Utt Says All Records W Broken During Last Six Days. Last week was a record breaker in the history of the wholesale markets of Omaba. The last of the spring excursions of the Jobbers’ association was on in full blast and buyers came from every state and te: tory between the Mississippl river and the Rocky mountains morth of Arkansas. John B. Utt, secretary of the assoclation, said: “If this crowd had come & year ago we could mot bave handled it. There would not have been material enough in the city to have supplied the demand. Buyers who have patronized Chicago and St. Louls ex- clusively In years past have come to Omaha and purchased their entire line. The work of the joint agent of the railroads here shows that during the week more people came than during two weeks last year, and these people were all buyers. Many stopped over last year on their return from Chi- cago to year these same persons came to buy.in this eity. “It Is impossible to estimate the total business done by the different jobbers dur- ing the week, many purchasers did not come near the secretary of the association, but it is safe to say that the total was in excess of any two weeks ever experienced in the Omaha wholesale district.” rt Worth, T The Missouri Pacific will sell round-trip tickets to Fort Worth, Tex., on March 9 and 10 at one fare, plus 32.

SHORT SKETCHES OF THE CANDIDATES Meeting—Suocessor to Rev. Wheeler on the ! ary Do Most of the candidates nominated by the republican convention Saturday are too well known to need any intrbduction to the general public. However, a short sketch may be interesting to those who have lived in South Omaha only & short time. Frank Koutsky, the candidate for mayor, was born on a farm about thirty-five miles west of this city, and it is rted that he has never been out of the state. When Ed Johnston was mayor Mr. Koutsky perved a term in the city council. He was en- gaged in the hardwa business until two years ago, when he was selected city trea urer. Mr. Koutsky has been a resident of the Magle City elnce 1887. Edward L. Howe, candidate for city treas- urer, has been until recently employed in a responsible position with the Hammond Packing company, but for several months he has devoted almost his entire time to looking after his private affairs. Joseph F. McCaffrey, nominated for city clerk, has been a resident of the city for about a year. He is engaged in business on Twenty-fourth street. Since coming to South Omaha Mr. McCaffrey has taken quite an interest in local politics, A. H. Murdock, candidate for city attor- ney, 18 an old-timer and really meeds no introduction to the public. Besides being an able attorney, Mr. Murdock boasts that, with possibly one exception, he is the home- liest man in the city. He has always been prominent in polftics. Among the councilmen nominated, Wesley P. Adkins of the First ward has been in the livery business here for years. His advent into office was made two yeras ago, when he was elected to the city council by a large vote. During hie term Mr. Ad- kins has served as president of the couneil and has presided at most of the meetings. Rasmus Larson of the Second ward wa formerly employed by one of the big pack- Ing companies, but of late he has been de- voting his time to looking after his prop- erty Interests in the ward where he re- sides. Michael Smith of the Third ward was also tormerly employed by a packing company, but now gives his entire attention to his personal affairs, v John Melntire of the Fourth ward is an old-timer, and for years held a responsible position at « packing house. He is now the proprietor of a restaurant on Q street. 1. J. Copenharve of the Fifth ward, while a young man, is well known here, since he has taken during the last few years a great deal of Interest in local politics. He Is a unfon printer employed at present on The Bee. W. B, Vansant of the Sixth ward is’ en< gaged in business at the stock yards and devotes most of his time to the ralsing and selling of live stock. He served two years in the council when Dr. Ensor was mayor, and has just completed a term of one year, having been appointed by Mayor Kelly when the city was redistricted into six wards. Of the candidates seleoted by the repub- licans to represent the party on the Board of Education, Jay Laverty Is engaged in business at the Live Stock exchange, and has a large acquaintance in church circles. He s superintendent of the Methodist Sun- day school and is popular; Albert Peter- son is quite a favorite and employed in a clerical capacity at Swift's; D. Mor- rill, the third nominee, has been in the teed business on Twenty-fourth street and Albright for years and is acquainted with all of the old-timers and many of the re- cent comers. Council Meeting Ton! An adjourned meeting of the city council 1s billed for tonight, when it s expected that bids for the renewal of $140,000 in bonds will be recelved. These bonds, which the city expects to renew at this time, do not mature until 1915. The ordinance au- thorizing the fissue provides for interest at the rate of b per cent, the same the bonds are now drawing. Johnston, who has so far engineered the deal, says the city can now secure & premium of about $2,000 by a renewal and, therefore, he favors the proposition. The sum of money, it avail- able now, Mr. Johnston asserts, would sist greatly in paying current obligatic and would tend to reduce the overlap which is inevitable. From the number of Inquiries made about these bonds it is predicted that the bidding will be lively. Library B A meeting of the South Omaha library board will be held at the parlors of th South Omaha club this afternoon. It Is expected that the committee appointed to P re rules for the government of the board, will make a report. 8l Rev. R. L. Wheeler has declined to serve on the board, it will devolve upon Mayor Kelly to appoint & member in his place, and this may be done at the council meeting tonight. Most of the members of the board have prepared their bonds, and these will doubt- Jess be submitted to the council for approval tonight. Magic City Gos The democratic primaries will be held March 14.

MAY CELEBRATE ANNIVENSA#Y: Project to Mark the Twenty-Fifth | Yemr of Public Library's | Existence, ‘ At the last meeting of the library board the question was brought up of a celebration to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Omaha Public library as a city institution, For some years previous to 1877 a subscription library had been maintained in the city by a private associa- tion, and the state leglslature that year | passed a law enabling the city to take nu-| management of the affalr under municipal control. This was done in August of that year, | The matter went no further than a sug- gestion at the last meeting, but it was agreed that the occasion should be used to bring the people Into closer touch with the institution and that a reception might be held at the bullding during one or two days, when visitors would be shown through the library and be made acquainted with its work and treasures. The Nebraska State Library assoclation will hold its mext meeting in Omaha, and a member of the board sald that the two eventa could probably be united, the cele- bration of the quarter-centenary being made colncldent with the meeting of the state organization. This could easily be done, as during the months of June, July and August occur anniversaries of three steps taken in the organtzation of the library as a public institution, anyone of which could be observed. In this case all linterested in library work in the states of Nebraska and Iowa would be invited and the octaslon would take on more than local importance. COLONIST EXCURSIONS, Via Rock Island Route.
