) THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, DISCOUNTS BOY PREACHERS Rev, Jenks Says White-Haired Men Should Occupy Pulpite | EXPERIENCE OF YEARS IS REQUIRED ages Not Dellvering the Lord's M o Be Undertaken by Those Who Have Not Matured in Christinnity. Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks, pastor of the | First Presbyterian church, took for his text yestérday morning, Phillipians i, 12 “Working Out Our Salvation.” He sald “Salvation Is not the work of a day, but of a lfetime It Is not some chance de- cision, that may be realized upon at a mo ment's cholce. A man says: ‘I would like to be a merchant, and may presume that from the mere asking that Lis desire is ao complished with the incidental accessories of his trade. But ask successtul merchant, and he will tell you that to reach success in mercanidle affairs involves long years of patient work, beginning at the very bottom of apprenticeship and climbing upward through the successive stages, be- fore he can say ‘I am a merchant.’ It is #0 with the professions, particularly that of the law and of the ministry. Before one 18 it to enter upon the career of a min- feter he should have spent a lifetime in de- votion and study. The men in the pulpits should be the white-haired whose Iives have been spent in devotion and Chris- tlan work. What does a boy know about preaching? In the law, that king of pro- fessions, a man must be drilled by years of study to reach the acme of his ambi- tion. I mean the good, clean lawyer, not the pettifogger. “‘You must work out your own salva- tion’ says the apostle. It can only be ac- complished by soul cultivation, by the ex- perfence of life. You have united with the church, but that is only the beginning. It 18 ke the crude ore, or the silkworm's co- coon 18 to the finished, burnished steel or flowing, beautiful silk. The true, devoted Christian is the finished product of the evangellst's or revivalist's convert. Every man must make the most and best of him- | self. It is a case of Individual responsi- | bility. Work out salvation for yourself. | Aspire to become the best you are capable of. God wants man to make himself all he can. some ones, REV. SHES THE DEVIL, Holds that Saton Has Been Cast Out by Evolution. ““The devil has been cast out by evolu tlon,” was ome of the effective epigrams used by Rev. Newton M. Mann in his ser- mon on “The Problem of Evil” at Unity church yesterday morning. “The old teaching,” ho said, “had man perfect at the outset. The new teaching has him very crude, incomplete at the beginging, and | slowly, age by age, growing almost imper- | ceptibly. We must remember the depths from which he came and the height for which he Is destined. Man is climbing the stairs to heaven; not seeking to regain a lost 'Paradise. “It God is all powerfal and created all things, why should He make Satan, wich | whom He must be engaged forever in con- fict? It God is all good, how can He be the source of bad? These are ques- tions that never have been answered and never can be. The theory of Satan be- | longs to the teachings of other days. What 1s good and what s evil? We know that the world is evil where man has dvae noth- ing for his own well-being, and that those surroundings are good that have been pe- olally wrought out by human toll to swell the sum of human happine: We say that ‘Man made the city but God made the town' yet statistics’ show that the trend is toward urban residence at the expense of the rural territory. The improved world that we have is the result of the effort of | ages. The perfect world is a realized vision | of an carthly paradise. Our early dreams of paradise generally consider an Improved paradise with walls and houses and paved Btreets—paved regardigss of cost. Un- | doubtedly never was the habitable world | quite 0 inhospitable as it was in the be- ginning. We know that things are evil | when they are unsuitable to our well-bo- 1ng. i . “Is not the evil within us inaptitude to adjust ourselves to the ordered conditions | of lite? The peaceful social conditions un- der which we are living have been existent | only a comparatively short time. War at best 1s gencrally systematic, wholesale robbery. The further we go back the more | of a marauder and thief we find man to be. It follows that through long ages these babits were 50 fixed that now under a uew order of things he s nct able to emancis pate himsclf from these instinct. That Bas become sin which before was.not si NOBLENESS POSSIBLE FOR ANYONE, Rev. Reynolds Insists it is Easy of Attainment. At Castellar Street Presbyterl Sunday evening the pastor, Walter Reynolds, preached on the theme, “Great | Nobleness Possible to Any Who Will Have It." He said, In substance 'Great nobleness is possible to the least gifted bellever. The Bible says, ‘His di- vine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain to Iife and godliness.’ Wio- soever you are that hear this, would you be free from all that is ignoble and attain to high glory and virtue, then deliberately use the means which bave been pru\'ldedl freely in this bestowal of the ‘all things' God's word thus promises you. Do mnot wait for feeling, but obey the promptings of an enlightened mind and will to do His will. . If you want to do God's will, but bave not yet taken your place with His people in His church as a member, we be- | seech you by the mercles of God to seek to do so at once. May God bless you, and in humble prayer we say it, may you bless God; may you confess His name." CONLEY RTUNITY, Is Hopeful for First Baptist Church's | Undertaking. Anent the commencement work upon the new edifice which will be erected by the members of the First Baptist church, Rey J. W. Conley delivered to a large congre- gation Sunday morning an interesting ser- mon bearing upon the fmmense undertak- ing which confronts the church, and also the field which the mew church will oc- cupy when it s located upon the new site. “Today we have a united and harmoni- ous chureh,” the pastor sald. “We have been led in a providential manner to secure a site midway between the two old sites. It is very rare that a church can take so important a step so unitedly as we can to- day. We feel the inadequacy of this old bullding. We canmot hbre do the work | that is demanded, We are now in the midst of great financial prosperity. It fs | our time to act. Our new site la located |in a territory unoccupled by churches. | | the time to enter this field and occupy it | sibly for cemturies, fn. doing the Lord's| | Baptist church, preached on the “Impos- | church | district court, Attorney Myron L. Learned, H. | George H. Thummell, clerk of the United Take the territory between Twenty-sixth | and Fortieth streets and Leavenworth and Cuming streets, and there is not a Pro- testant church in this emtire section, ex- | All Saints' church and St. Mary's, in the extreme eoast. Here Is & portion of the city well populated and representing all classes of eociety, destined to have the largest growth In the near future of any part of the eity. We propose to bulld our new church at a point easily accessible from all parts of shis territory. Now Is cept “The magnitude of our enterprise in seen in two ways, In the work itself and in the resources for its accomplishments. | The latter are almost exclusively within the membership of our own church. There are conditions where & chureh can appeal | to the general community for ald and find | a generous respodse, But that condition does not exist in Diaaha“today, This Is an opportunity of & Iffetime. It ls putting money where It will go ou for years, pos- work."” WHAT TO DO WITH THE MONEY, Rev. Eecles Snys to Subordinate it to Moral Precepts, Dr. Kerr Eccles, pastor of Immanuel sibility of Serving Two Masters.” Tak- ing for his text, “Ye cannet serye God and Mammon."—Matthew, vi, 8 he sald: “Mammon, in the abitract sense, is money | and Its attendant pewef. Mopey Is not mammon when the amassing of it is not the result of or does not Fesult in selfish mo- tives. The tendency of ‘money-getters is to use it for the selfish advancement of their own desires, either phyalsal or men- | tal. So long as there ia the least connec- tion in one's mind between money and what it will buy of pleasure and power, Just 50 long is it mammon. “If a person bend his efforts toward the getting of money and subordinates moral precepts to this end he cannot expect to serve God at the same time, An idol is an idol whether it be great or small, good or poor, to look upon or catved in any like- ness. It {s a something made by man, and man should ot praise or worship ‘that which he has done. “It is right that each man should lay aside for himsel! enough wealth for him- | self and for the ¢hildren who come after | him that they may not suffer ffom the in- fluences of those who worship mammon. But the lde of money being the master, | the driving foroe behind the will, is heret- | ical. God should be the master, and money merely the servant. Then does money at- tain the end for .which it was originally produced. It {s a medium of exchange or barter and not a power. % “Remember this well, subordinate mone to the moral precepts and make it an ac cessory to life, and not & necessity and you will not be serving mamimon.” How to Break Up a Cold, It may be a surprise to our readers to learn that a severe cold can in many in- stances be completely broken up in one or two days' time. To do this, however, prompt action Is necessary. The first saymp- toms of a cold are a dry, loud cough, a profuse watery discharge from the nose and a thin white coating on the tongue. If| Chamberlein's Cough Remedy is taken in double doses every hour after the first ap- pearance of thesé symptoms it will counter- act the effect of the cold and restore the system to a healthy condition within one or two days' time, in almost every case, and when the cold is not completely cured in this time Its severity will be greatly less- eped and a complete oure insured in a very short time. When no action toward | curing the cold s taken the dry, loud oqugh s followed by a profuse watery expectoration and that by a diffculty In breathing, a pecullar tightness of the chest and a slight expectoration of very tough and tenaclous mucus, Few persons pay any attention to a cold until in this con- dition—that s, until the cold has become settlod in the system. 'The first action should be to relieve the lungs. This is best accomplished by the free use of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. This rem- | edy liquifies the tough mucus and causes | its expulsion from the air cells of the lungs, produces a free expectoration and opens the secretions. A complete cure soon follows. 1In some cases, however, several days are required, but the experience of thousands of persons in the use of this remedy has been that it will cure a severe cold In less time than any other treatment and that it leaves the system in a natural and healthy condition. MUNGER TO LEAD HUNTERS Federal Judge Clarks a Frie for =a Shooting. Are Near Week's Judge W, H. Munger of the United States States circuit court, and Henry Homan, deputy United States marshal, left Sunday afternoon for Clarks, Neb., where they will spend a week hunting. Judge H. J. Davis will join the party later in the week. The high water in the Platte river makes the party feel certain of good shooting, but uncertain as to where it will stay dw ing the visit to the river. It was intended to go Into camp on one of the fslands near Clarks, but it s sald that the island fs now so mearly covered with water that the plans may have to be changed.

It was only last fall that the city paid out $1,600 for filling holea with concrete and then sheeting them over with asphalt. This pavement wears out so rap- 1dly that it costs the city more to keep it In repair than it would to pay interest on a large increase in the bonded In- debtedness.” Continuing, the mayor sald he guested the people who travel the street would have to worry along for some time to come without any decided improvement. “As long as there {s no money on hand we cannot make improvements,” sald the mayor. A glance at the monthly report of the city clerk shows that there is but a small sum remaining in the street repair fund. Under the charter no contracts can be let where there {s no money In sight to pay for the work and consequently the streot from A to N will be left In its present condition until there {s money available for the necessary repairs. Some have sug- gested that a layer of vitrified brick be lald over the present pavement, but en- gincors say that one layer will not hold and that what {s needed is an entirely new pavement to be laid under a guarantee From the present outlook nothing can be done to improve the condition of this street unless the property owners get together and sign a petition for a ncw paving City Council Tonight. A regular meeting of the city council will be held tonight. It is expected that four or five grading ordinances will be reported favorably on, and that these or- dinances will be placed upon second and third readings and passed. The mayor will sign the ordinances as soon as passed in order that contracts may be let and the work of grading commenced as soon the frost Is out of the ground. Then there is the stock Inspector ordinance, which seems to be worrying a great many people. The judiclary committee is due to report on this ordinance tonight and it may go through the second and third reading the same as the grading bills. When it comes to the mayor's signature, how:ver, that may be different. The mayor will insist tbat he name the inspector.and in case the council will not agree to this a veto probably will be sent in. . Mayor Koutsky #21d that he removed the former stock ex- aminer and ‘he holds that it is his priv- ilege to appoint a man for the place when- ever he deems It necessary. It seems to be the understanding that no bills will be allowed tonight. Some damage claims will be read and will be referred to the city attorney for a report. No Change of Grade. Sinee the excavating for the South Omaba public library has commenced there seems to be a general regret that there was no chauge In the grade of M street made be- fore the surveyor set the stakes. An ef- fort was made soon after the library board purchased the site to have a cut made In M street_at the intersection of Twenty- | third street, but as some of the property owners east of Twenty-third street objected and claimed damages the matter was It any change is made now it will have to be made quickly, as the ex- cavating will be completed this week. The great drawback to the present plans will be when it comes to paving M. streot from Twenty-third street to Twenty-fifth street. An engineer sald yesterday that those who are pow opposed 1o the change of grade will be surprised when the street is paved. Quantities of material arrive almost daily for the foundations for the library and the foundations will be set just a8 soon as the temperature will permit of the laying of cement. School Board Meet An adjourned meeting of the Board of Ed- ueation is billed for tonight. One of the features of the meeting will be the pw- sentation of & petition from residents in the southeast portion of the city asking that the name of Albright school be changed to Madison school. There seems to be little objection to this and it is possible that the reduest may be granted. That bill for painting and some other repairs to bufld- ings probably will come up, but the m jority 6f the members seem to think that the session will be a haltway peacable on Sells Furniture Store, The W. G. Sloane & Co. furniture store at Twenty-fourth and M streets was sold Saturday.to the Home Furniture company. The latter is an incorporated institution and will assume charge of the store and its contents today. G. F. Gibbs of Omaha is secretary and treasurer of the company and will act as manager. At the present time Mr. Gibbs resides in Omaha, but he {ntends taking up his residence in this city. Magic City Gossip. Mrs. Jay Laverty is entertaining Mrs. C C.

PALMER W:NS ANOTHER WIFE'(AUGHT IN HOTEL LOBBIES| Amain | Prospects that Smiled For the Omaha Man. ne Has on ‘Former Searcely more than a month ago The Bee chronicled. a serfes of events that appeared to make it certain that the fates were suddenly turned against George E. Palmer and that he had no more cheering outlook than the prospect of becoming a lonesome | toller with few joys and only one change | of shirts. But the indications were wrong and the fates are still with the gentleman, | apparently, for friends here have received word that he has married again, and, it is surmised, has married “‘well"—which latter term, of course, {s understood to compre- hend good family and a bank account Details have fiot been received, but the friends In question have had information enough from the dainty cards sent by Mrs. Alice Van Etta Smith of Coronado, Cal., “announcing the marriage of her daughter Blanche to Mr. George E. Palmer, Febru- ary 26, ete, ete. These friends concede that the celerity of Mr. Palmer's movements rather dazes them, but aver that they rejoice in his new felicity, nevertBeless, and stand firm in their affection for. him. The carde received are very smart af- fairs; the bride's mother has as many scc- tions In her name as anyone short of a German ambassador could possibly wish; | Coronado 1s a swcll place, where none but the wealthy can afford to stay longer than for two meals and altogether Mr. Palmer's friends seem not without good reason for believing that he has prospered. It fsn't the first time Mr prospered. in the employ of packing companies in Omaha at a salary so modest it blushed at the telling. Then came Mrs. E. Jessio Salle, whose husband had left her much mining property at Cripple Creek and Idaho Springs, and the fates found her an affinity fo Mr. Palmer in a very short time. After they were married they were in Omana awhile, then in Minneapolis and went even- tually to Kaneas City, where Mr. Palmer, having ceased to act as manager of the Palmer has Lord Byron mine at Idaho Springs, owned | by Omaha men, invested in fancy stock and made great displays at various horse shows with one result, that he was to have been inyited to act as judge at the coming show in Omaha. Then - Mrs.- Palmer dfed and later came the crash. Creditors, unable to secure prompt settlements, began pressing their | claims in a legal way, and Palmer aban- doned his Wornall farm and departed from | the Missouri metropolis, bag and baggage. Attachments previously sued out held prac- tically everything but this impedimenta and his friends here feared it was all up with Mr. Palmer. Mrs. Smith's cards are practically their frst intimation to the contrary. GRADING ' OF TWENTY-FGURTH] Board of Education Likely to Recon- sider the Matter at Tonight's Meeting. Representatives of the Southwest Im- provement club are expected to appear be- | fore the Board of Education tonight and ufge that the action taken at the last meeting in refusing to sign a petition ask- ing for a change of grade on Twenty-fourth street south of Leavenworth be reconsid- ered. It-appears that unless the improvers get the signature of the board for the front- age of the:Mason school property they can- not secure signatures for a majority front- age. They wantithe change of grade be- cause the street railway company has prom- ised to build ansextension on South Twen- ty-fourth streeenit dt is made. There is a strong. oppositioniifaction among the prop- erty owners intevested, and they too will be represented at: tha board meeting and urge that the previous action stand un- changed. v City Attorney « Conuell sald yesterday that he saw n~ reason why the signatur of the board in order to make a majority pe- tition would {nvalidate the proceeding. “The board is:to be regarded in the same light as a corperation,” he asserted, “and if a majority of the members order the sec- retary to sign the petition the action is regular and proper, even though this sig- nature is the last needed to make the peti- tion effective. Because school property is involved does not make the proposition any different than though it were private prop- erty.” Nip Them in the Bud.

Lee H. Devine, one of the superintend- | ents of the Cary Bros.’ ranch on the Lit- tle Missouri, in the northwest corner of South Dakota, is fn the city, stopping st the Merchants. He says: “The range cat- | tle and horses in' that section have win- tered finely. There has been very little snow there. We have had to feed only the younger calves. We have had abun- dant hay for the purpose. We catch our | worst storms there from about now until April 15. As soon as I return we will be- gin the spring roundup of the horses. The sheep men are beginning to drift into that section from Wyoming. The sheep bother | the little cattlemen mostly. There has | been some little trouble. The sheep men and a few cattlemen owning emall herds came together, and the sheep were fired | into and twelve killed, and the sheep herd- ers were ordered out of the country. Some settlers are coming in, and they are fencing up the springs, which 1s making it hard for the cattle to get water. I guess the free range is doomed, and there will be little of it left a few years from now.’ Speaking of range horses, Mr. Devine sald: “There Is a great demand for them for polo ponfes. A man came out to our ranch to buy forty or fifty. He was from New York. He was sure stuck on our cat- tle ponies that were broken. He offered us any price for them. But when a cowboy hase got his little old buckskin pony trained, no money could buy him. This New Yorker offered me $300 for my old ekate that I have ridden for twelve years.” | Charles L. Fritech of St. Louis is in the city, and is enthusiastic over the approach- ing ded fon of the Louisiana Purchase | exposition. He eays: “The city of St. louis is already crowded with visitors looking at the exposition grounds in the preparatory stages. There are hosts of people brought there, too, by the expec- tancy of securing employment at the | grounds. The Industrial building is already under roof, and it covers about ten acres. | The Agricultural bullding will be finished by September 1. The dedication ceremo- nies will take place April 30, and big preparations are being made for the event. About 3,000 regular troops and 10,000 M tional guards will participate in the pa- rade. President Roosevelt and other nota- bles will be there. On May 1 will occur International day, which will also be a big affair. In June will come the Natfonal Saengerfest; that is to be another big event. A 2,000-room hotel is being bullt near the exposition grounds, and local eap- | italists are putting up a $1,500,000 hotel in the city that will be finished in time for | the exposition next year.” J. B. Owens of Wayne, Neb., is an Omaha visitor. Of affairs up about Wayne, he says: ‘“The winter has been very good to us. There has been no loss of cattle, and much feeding s being done this winter. Approximately, 200 cars of cattle will be shipped from Wayne alone before the ship- ping season closes. The elevator men are offering but 24 and 25 cents for corn, but the farmers are holding for 30 cents. We have been suffering some from car short- age, but not as much as other locallties. Some excitvment prevails up about Wayne and Winside over recent encouraging de- velopments in some gold mines in which Wayne county people are interested. The stock recently sold for 12, 20 and 25 cents, but is now quoted at par. The mine is lo- cated somewhere near Deadwood, S. D. Some of the officials of the company were here a few days ago to meet Omaha and eastern investors holding stock fin the mine.” R. L. Applebee of Virginia, Neb,, was in Omaha yesterday, and sald: “The slecpy old town of Virginia has wakened up won- derfully during the past few days over the certainty of the building of the Kansas City, Beatrice and Western railway from Virginia to Beatrice. The survey is al- ready completed, and work will begin on grading and track laying as soon as the season opens enough to permit the work. The road will later be profected from Beat- rice in the direction of Grand Island, and will pass through the richest part of Gage county, some of which has no rallway fa- cilities at present. The new road will con- nect with the Missouri Pacific, which:has its present terminus at Virginia, and ex- tends to Kaneas City, Virginia is but fit- teen miles from Beatrice.” Teachers Meet in Apri TECUMSEH, Neb., March 15.—(Special.)
