Dalzell, president of the board of trus-| tees, in which he related the mts leading | up to the remodeling of the church, show- | ing the total cost to have been $3,726.31, all of which had been raised or pledged before the day of dedication. This narra- | tive was followed by a solo by Miss Berta Wilson and an address on behalf of the session by G, D. McDill. Mr. McDill re- lated some of the history of the church since its organization ten years ago last June, when the congregation met in a car- penter shop west of the Military road. He sald that of the officers all but one were charter members of the organization and that of the membership more than half eamo from the growth of the families of the original founders, this being particu- larly true of the present Sunday school Holds that Those Who Do Not Attend Chureh Disobey God's Command. Rev. R. Kerr Eccles of the Immanuel Baptist church preached to his congrega- tlon yesterday morning on the sin of not attending the church services. “Very largely, the Christian church is divided into two classes,” he said, “those who at- tend church regularly and those who only attend once in a while, or not at all. And those who were able to come to church this morning and did not have broken one of God's solemn commands.

BISHOP M'CABE CONDUCTS THE SERVICE One Member Giv Fifty Dollars to Hear the Bishop Sing “Papa, What Would You Take for Met John Redgwick, a plumber, living at 1212 South Twenty-seventh street, pledged him- self to pay $50 to hear Bishop Charles C. McCabe sing “Papa, What Would You Take for Me?" at the Hanscom Park Methodist Episcopal church Sunday morn- ing, and the bishop promptly fulfilled his part of the agreement, playing his own ac- companiment on an old organ carried up from the basement for that solo, and for the bishop's own composition, “We Are Bullding Four a Day,” which he sang Im- mediately afterward The incident was only one of several in- teresting ones which occurred during the fitty minutes that were required in the ralsing of $1,600 with which to cancel the last of the $10,000 indebtedness of the church. Bishop McCabe closed his exhor- tation at 11:50, and at 12:40 the congrega- tion arose triumphant te ing the doxology in gratitude for the success of the effort. It was in October, 1886, that a little group of the faithful, meeting at the res dence of John Dale, determined to organ- ize a Methodist church in the Hanscom park neighborhood. They began by pur- chasing a lot at the northeast corner of Woolworth avenue and South Twenty-ninth street, and bullding thereon the first church, dedicated in March, 1887. They worshiped for a year under Rev. Millard, now presiding elder of the Grand Island district. Then for five years they wor- shiped under Rev. George Brown, now of Derby, Conn., and at the close of his min- istry projected a new building to replace the old edifice, which had cost $3,300, and which has more recently served the Wal- nut Hill church congregation. New Church with Big Debt, The new church was bullt during the five years' ministry of Rev. Willlam P. Murray, now of the Erle conference. After its dedication In 1892 it had the uncertain blessing of a $16,000 debt, and when Rev. Clyde Clay Cissell succeeded, four years ago, Dr. F. M. Sisson, now presiding elder of the Norfolk district, he promptly a ulted the debt and succeeded in reducing it to $10,000 about two years ago. For the past three months he and Elder J. W. Jennings, with the directors of the church, have been campaigning to annihi- late the debt entirely. They secured $1,000 subscriptions from the Helping Hand so- clety and the Church Extension soclety; $300 subscriptions trom W. P. Harford, Pe- ter Whitney and the families of Oscar and Arthur Allen; $250 subscriptions from W. 1. Stephens and Mrs. Mary Knode; $100 subscriptions from Rev. Clesell, John Dale, Mel Ubl, H. H. Ernest, F. Clark, C. P. White, George B. Cary, D. A. Foote, G. W. Johnston and John F Dale; $75 subscrip- tions from five others; $50 subscriptions from twenty-four others; $30 subscriptions from six others; $25 subscriptions from thirty-five others; $20 subscriptions from several; $15 subscriptions from thirty- two; $10 subscriptions from thirty; $5 sub- scriptions from twenty-five, and enough others of varying amounts to make the total $8.500. Raises Fifteen Hundred Dollars. To raise the additional $1,600 with which to wipe out the debt the visit of Bishop McCabe was seized upon and the morning was devoted to securing pledges for amounts one-third of which was to be pald at once, another third next June and the final third next December, the burning of the mortgage to occur on December 15, next. At the conclusion of his address yester- day morning the bishop placed upon the rostrum a chart marked with 150 vacant squares, each for $10 donations, and In- vited the congregation to fill them. It was done In fifty minutes. Once the glv- ing seemed to lag and was revived only by an offer to fill five squares If ten other men would do the same. They did it. An- other awkward pause was filled in by the Redgwick offer of $50 for a solo by Bishop McCabe. By the time the chart was filled enthusiasm ran high and the board had to be reversed to accommodate an addi- tional $75 contributed in $5 and $1 amounts, At the evening service Rev. Cissell painted a connection between the $10,000 mark and the $8,500 mark on the financial thermometer that overhung the pulpit. It was mede a jubllee service, with a hymn of triumph, a hymn of Christian activity and short addresses by Bishop McCabe, Dr. Tindall, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, Dr. Jennings and Pastor Clssell. Mrs. Walter Dale in the morning and Mrs. J. W. Thomas in the evening were the so- lotsts. In bis morning address and exhortation Bishop McCabe took as his text the Lord's admonition to Mose “And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. MUNRO SEES ONLY HARMONY Says Retall Grocers of Omaha Now Stand Together for Collection L Amendment. Members of the Nebraska Retall Grocers' association are now ready to make a united effort at the next s for the enactment of the amendments to the collection laws. Speaking of the fric- tion In the local organization over the selection of the state legislative committee George F. Munro said: “The trouble over the selection of the legislative committee is now settted.

In vain has the organizer told them that there is no intention on the part of the association to maintain a lobby at Lincoln and that the friction at Omaha amounted to little, They say that the thought of a lobby is repugnant to them and that they do mot LY BEE: MONDAY, destre to emter mn association at war In its own ranks.

At the Boyd. “Busy lzzy" is one of those things that dety classification. It is just music, son gags, funny business and business that isn't funny from start to finieh. Much of it has been worked over from the farce comedies of the past, and not a little is new and fresh, in these parts, at any rate. George Sidney is well remembered here for his work with Ward and Vokes, and while he doesn't pretend to be the whole show, he je enough to make good on his name of “Busy Izzy.” All down the line of the lengthy cast the players work hard to amuse the people, and, if the laughter that greets tielr efforts is a criterion, they certainly succeed. Several of the songs are new, and some new and appropriate words are sung to well known airs. The chorus is large (in point of numbers), comely and well drilled. One of the real features of the perform- ance is the club juggling and a number of their own devising. They easily sustain their clalm of being leaders in this line of work. Both performances yesterday drew good houses. The plece will be given again this evening. At the Creighton-Orpheum. In this week’s bill at the Creighton-Or- pheum are three acts which particularly take prominence, and of the others it must be said that they are all good, for each in turn was received with much show of probation by the audlences of yesterday. Billle's First Love,” as presented by Valerle Bergere and Meniffe Johnstone, with the assistance of Belle Stoddard, is an exceptionally clever little one-act sketch. It possesses the advantages of being natur- ally constructed and different from the or- dinary run of vaudeville sketches, and at- fords Miss Bergere an excellent opportun- ity to dieply her versatile talent. The success of this presentation was greatly cnhanced by a new and very rich stage setting bullt and painted specially for the purpose by Charles Gore, scenic artist of the house. A distinct novelty in the way of a mu- sical turn is presented by the Miles- Stavordale quintette, one of whose mem- bers plays a harp and the others an instru- ment of unique construction somewhat re- sembling a double-head or box banjo, but different from it in the manner in which the head is set. The ensemble effect of this combination of instruments at times strikingly resemblés the tones of the human volce, A most pleasing acrobatic act e een- tributed by the Navaro's, one of whom is a pretty and petite miss.

The rest of the bill is made up of Meehan's well trained dogs, Josephine Sabel, singer and imitator, who gave very clever impersonations of several well known performers, and Dillon brothers, whose dct consisted entirely of parodies, some of whichuwere much enjoyed by the audience, © == Announcements of the Theaters.

Leave spices and coffee alone. Eat spar- ingly of meat but once a day — never pork. Fresh vegetables are always in or- der. Drink plenty of pure water and milk. Keep the bowels regularly open. Keep the feet warm and dry, and avoid wet clothing. At bedtime bathe the af- fected parts freely with Omega Oil. Then dip a towel in hot water, wring it out, wrap it over the Oil and thus ‘‘steam it in.” The hot towel opens the pores and drives the Oil in better. When the towel cools, remove it, dry the parts and put on more Omega Oil. Then cover the parts with a cloth to hold the Oil in its place throughout the night. In the morning wash the parts in warm water, wipe thoroughly dry, and briskly rub in some more of the Oil. A thorough, persistent treatment of this kind will come pretty near curing any case of Rheumatism that is curable. I have suffered with the rheumatism for seven years and tried most every remedy, but none gave me relief. A friend told me of Omega Oil and 1 bought it, and after 1 using one bottle 1 found great relief. continued to use it, and seven bottles have made me nearly well.
