Taking his text from the lesson of the day, he sald In part: - ““IThers is one person of the modern times to whom the words of the soripture referring to the herolc Maccabee oan be applled snd that person i» the warrior saint, Ignattus Loyola. He was born great, Bs family being mot only noted ‘In the pages of chivalry, but also in lterature. The youngest of eight children, his natural wbility was %0 early manifest that bis father decided to send him to the court of Castile, at that time the school fof the education of sons of the grandees of Bpaln. He soon became a pollsl tier, but soon that life palled and he turned his face from the court to the ommp. From that time he wae a ol- dier. Before his conversion a soldier on the fleld of battle, after that conversion & soldier of God against infidelity and sin. His breastplate was that of his gigantic feith and brought to the church of God the ord of bis all-luspiring seal. The workers of iniquity trembled and the church triumphed through his hand. “Bu brief is the history of the glor- oble eaint, Ignatius. It fs siways am; to work out one’s salvation, but tn the case of Ignatius, trained In the court and camp, wil jumbers of friends of worldly mind, it was of yet greater dif- fleulty. What a struggle he had to un- the glory and service of God. God led Bim to the confiict and sustained him in it. He was sanctified not for self, but for the honor and glory of Gad.

The Castellar Presbpierian ochurch was crowded to the doors ‘Suniay merfilng by a congregation which came to greet its old pastor, Rev. J. M, Wilson ot Boulder, Colo., who was in Omiahia fof the first time most three years. Rev. Wilson was for many years pastor of ‘this ol and was one of its organisers.. In honor & spe- clal song service wiy rendered. Rev. Wilson begaa by g that all the events of history . od In the scriptuney are traced back to the hand of God. "And il the eventa of life he con- tinued, “great ‘or Wmall dre under God's control. It s true that many of these are mysterious and we do not understand them." The sermon was besed on the death as resurrection of Lewures, snd the eald: Vs “This event, while it seemns to uwe mys- terfous, was a part of a'largér plan that Jesus had. ‘'We do not understand why some of us sre saddeped by:sickness and death, why some unhappy;. we do ot under- d why we are .called upon to fight great wars, nor why ‘God‘ allows ‘wars to be fought. Te us the death pf our beloved preaident, shot . by an . aseass witheut reason. It seems mysterious that God would W jt; and yet we must have faith; we must know that God had some plan, which some.day we will know. In the death of our. president, o his moble death, there was & preached that no minister coWld praach; the paople. were brought closer,to God; they wene lifted up by an example of great Mith and love.” Rev. Wilson ceeupted same pui- pit Sunday might, He ls -::‘ to Penn- sylvania from to vislt relatives. Ho. will spend fundays 1 Chicago, where he has beon invited to preach.

NO MONEY FOR NEW FIRE HYDRANTS Neceasity of Additional Matne and |, Hydrants Revives Talk of Extend- fng Franchise of Water Compuny Ten Years. From all portions of the city come re- quests to the city officlals for extensions of the water mains. The latest request comes from property owners on Twenty. second street between B and G streets. ‘Within the last few months & number of new dwellings have been erected oh,this portion of Twenty-second street and three bouses are now In course of construction. near Twenty-second and G streets. Owing to the condition of the water. fund the counoll {s unable to do anything at the prosent time toward increasing the water supply, for the reason that thers is money to pay for fire hydrants and water mains are not extended unless hydrants are located every 400 feet. In Brown park and in outhwestern portlon of the oity & great deal of bullding has been done this summpr and water (s demanded. At the present time there sesms to be Do way out of the dllemma exeept to com- sent to the proposition made by the Omaha Water company about six weeks ago. At that time the company agreed to place forty-six additional hydrants, rent free for two years, furnish free water to the schools, ity hall and fire ongine houses in retura for an extension of the present franchise for & period of ten years. In addition to theso concessions the water company agreed ‘to reduce yearly rental of hydrants from 360 to $50 a month at the expiration of the present frauchise. There séemed to be some opposition to o proposition when it was first presented and it whs withdrawn. Now that property owners see that there is no hope of secur- ing water for fire protection or domestic use unless the city grants the frandhise extension there is some talk of petitioning the counell to reconsider the matter, Busy Session Predicted. It isipredicted that the counmcil will have & busy session tonight. In the first place bille and salaries are to be allowed. This is always an interesting feature of the firat meeting of the council in each month and it may be doubly so to some of the city employes tonight. It was rumored yester- day that two and possibly three salary claims would either be cut or crased from the _appropriation . ABfn- vestigation into thé workings of foroe is talked of, as the labor union are insisting that nene but union Iabar be employed on the streets, . Investigation hes shown that the bid for repatring Twenty-fourth street with asphatlt was no higher than two years ago and only 10 cents per square foot higher than one year ago, 8o the bid received will doubtless be reconside and the contract awarded. Numerous washouts will have to be con- sidered, as the storm Saturday night did conslderable damage to the urnpaved streets. Speculating on Report.
