THE OMAHA DAILY BEE MONDAY MAY, THE PERFECT PRODUCT | Meaning and Purpose of Orestivn, Bays Rev. Oraiz, in Farewe!l PREACHES LAST SERMON AT TRINITY Retiring Dean of Cathedral Exhorts Congrexation to Approach God Throngh Sacrifice, Prayer and Friendship. “And let my last words to you be: That through the practice of self-denial, that through friendship and fellowship, througn personal prayer and private communion with Jesus Christ, that you and I, day by day, may approach to the stature of the perfect man in Christ Jesus. Then at last, when the twilight has come and the evening star appears and the vesper bell does ring and ‘the one clear call' is heard shall have crossed the bar ¢nd shall sce our pilot, face to face, and from #in and death we shall escape. s find the true answer 1o David's question, ‘What is man?’ When we shall behold the Redeemer in our father's ho we shall be made like to Him. A, soul of mine, when thou seest Him upon whom thou hast relled thou wilt be satisfied.” In such manner did Rev. ‘ralg take le dean gation at Trinity cathedr ing. It was his last sermon before leav- ing permanently for Callfornia and the edifico was filled with worshipers. The dircourse was replete with rhetorical beauty and esthetlc fecling. It was composed around these words of David's “When 1 consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; what is man that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou visitest him?” we it In ourselves we may Robert E. Lee of the congre- 1 yesterday morn- Man, the “Man,” gaid the minister, after contrast- ing his physical insignificance with the un- measured universe, “man Is the perfect product—the meaning and the purpose of creation. Man is the greatest and grand- est of God's works because in the begin- ning he was formed and fashioned in the image of the eternal God, and In the end it is written, ‘he shall be clothed and crowned with the transcendant glory of the immortal Christ.” “Man is great becauss he possesses the divine power of saying, T will' and ‘T will not.'! He is great because he possesses the possibilities to love and seek and to gain the eternal life. Awful work! Tre- mendous responsibility! “The story of Eden is not a fable; is not a legend. It is a sad, stern, fact. Man sinned and we needed no argument to prove that. The blood of the serpent is In every corpuscle of the blood of mankind. But he was not all bad. The prodigal was glven time to come to himself. Let us brand the doctrine of total depravity as a He against God and man, for the pure white hands of the divine Christ redeemed us. “The purpose of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ in human form, was not to show us the beauty of the world or that the universe s vast, but that the creature whom the Father pleased to call His child was more precious in his sight than all the bigness, all the beauty, than all the wonders of this wide universe—more precion® 4n his sight than all the glory of the angels he has made.” BUILDING Perfect Product. TEMPLE OF SOUL. Mankind Erecting a Spiritual House Greater Than Solom Speaking from the pulpit of the WFirst Presbyterian church Sunday morning Rev. B. H. Jenks took for his text the words “And the house, when it was bullding, was bullt of stone made ready before It wi brought thither: so that there was nelther hammer nor ax nor any tool of fron heard in the house, while it was building.” He told of the wonderful temple of Solo- mon's, which the text referred to and of the detalls of its bullding; how the stone and the timber were prepared by many men through countless years in the quar- ries and in the forests of Lebanon. “None of the workmen,” he sald, “saw the plans, but so caretully did they follow the orders given them for their own par- ticular part of the work that when the parts were brought together they fitted each with the other perfectly and the whole was bullded without confusion or any change in the material. “It is s0 with us. We are bullding a house, a temple for the god of gods and it 1s not a material house but one that s spiritual, unseen and intangible and there- fore even greater than the temple of Solo- mon's. It is being bullt In the hearts of men, In the warm, pulsating heart blood and in the brain cells of many people. As in the house of Solomon thel many parts and each part must fit perfectly with another and we do not hold or know the plans but must each do his own particular part perfectly so that that which we have done shall not be thrown out as useless but &0 toward the making of the whole. ‘Whatever we do is bound to have some eftect somewhere. Nothing is lost. Physics has taught us of conservation of energy, of the Impossibility of destroying anything. Reduce « tangible substance to its ele- mental gases and it enters back into the tangible world in another serfes of forms which may not be recognizable as having any connection with ‘thé old form but is nevertheless so. It is so with energy or power and latterly with our own efforts, our own work. There is always some re sult. 8o we should put ourselves forward and Jabor with all that is within us all of the time whother it be for ourselves or for the employers.” POWER OF UNSEEN THINGS, ¥Force of Unobserved Working God's System, In the First Methodist Episcopal church yesterday morning Rev. E. Combie Smith brought out the unobserved workings of God's system. “If & reader of the morning Bee should see at midnight a man had walked into Persia looking at the stars, the public,” eald Dr. Smith, “would say that since Lipton has given up hope of the American cup, since the floods were over and the strikes, that there was very little for the papers to print. Yet this seemingly unim- portant fact of & man looking at the stars was of the greatest moment, for Abraham had indeed walked into Persia looking at the stars, and as he looked he thought of God, and from this little seed of thought the whole world had come to recognize the truth of God and In the mind of man & troe conception has been formed and the present great era begun. “In like manner if & person were to read in the World-Herald that a 12-year-old boy had stayed after church to ask the speaker some questions, that person would think that the paper were condescending to small matter for its news columns, but he sald a little boy did this same thing 2,000 years ago and out of that interrogatory point has been evolved the new era And again he pointed out in the train ot the BEgyptian princess the lowly poltroon of a Jew who had come there by chance and who afterward through a benefaction became the savior of the country. Dr. Smith called the attention of the congre- gation to Charlle Smith, the colored boy, who was once the roommate of the great Beecher and who by reading the scriptures with laughter and tears, first brought the mind of the eminent divine to religious thought. “There I8 no way by which we can tell what follows our actions or our words, but it is just In this way that the king- dom of God is belng ushered in. In God's scheme no good word or action Is lost; all help His progress, Life must pulsate un- known that the work of God may go on; we must ever persevere, for soon the cur- tain will be rung up on the last stage of our existence. We forget the little roads and by-ways through which we reach the end, but when at last we are on the sum- mit the beauty of the world bursts on our gaze." PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE DEFICIENT. System of Education is Criticised by Rev. Martin M. Bronsgeest. Rev. Martin M. Bronsgeest, pastor of 8t. John's church, took for his text yes- terday morning the edict of the Council of Baltimore, composed of the hierarchy of the church in the United States, com- manding parents to send their children to Catholic schools. Father Bronsgeest spoke of the facllities afforded parents by the parochial schools, to maintain which over $20,600,000 is expended annually, and continuing, cald in substance: “It 1s very strange that some Catholics should go out of their way to give un- qualificd pralse to the public schools when they are so severely criticised, as can be seen by the papers, by their own most ardent friends. But the church objects to the public schools not on account of what they are, but on account of what they are not; the church objects to them not for what they teach, but for what they do not teach. The church objects to them because moral training in them is lacking; because the knowledge gained in them is one-sided, dealing only with the body and with this life, and ignoring the soul and the life to come. What can be the result, other than a wrong 1dea of life, to the youth educated in an atmosphere of irreligion, and of edu- cation in which religion is never mentioned? The future men and women, so educated, will look upon religion with Indifference and be estranged from Almighty God. “Moral training Is lacking In the public schools; the whole work in them Is directed to the education of the head. Some may deny this, and it is true that in the public schools there are appeals to the honor of the pupils and to their sense of justice to others. But simply natural ethics, which are good, but do not go far enough, are taught. Such morality is not strong enough in itself, for it is from religion tbat mor- ality derives its vital force, and morality without religion amounts to little. “When there Is no God and no considera- tion of a future lifo as a foundation for morality, the morality 18 soon thrown aside altogether. What would such morality do for the child in time of temptation? Tt would not save its possessor from evil, for that can be done alone by religion, and by education In which religion has a strong influence. And if religlon must stand out- slde the school, If it may not enter the school, there can be no real moral training in it. The Councll of Baltimore insists that ehildren shall recelve a religious edu- eation, elther at home or in school. And simply sending a child to Sunday school is not giving it a religlous education. Tt must be taught religion day after day: it must breathe an atmosphere of religlion and morality until they become a part of the child. “Parents upon the last great judgment day will be asked by Almighty God to give an account of the charges placed in their hands. Our Lord has sald that rather than scandalize these little ones it were better that a millstone be tled ‘around a man's neck and he be drowned in the bot- tom of the sea. What then will be the answer of those parents who deny thelr children the religlous education to which they have a right, of those parents who have allowed the souls of their children to be lost for lack of a religlous educa- tion? But if parents would'give a favor- able answer they must give their children religlous education, and to do so should send them to Catholic schools, For God, this Judge who is a speclal friend of chil- dren, will not ask you whether you have left to your children riches or influence, but He will ask what became of the souls of your children.” BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE'S UNION. Echo of the Atlantic Convention Heard at Omaha Meeting. The Baptist Young People's unfon held an ‘“echo rally” in Immanuel Baptist church last evening in place of the regular evening preaching services. The talks of the evening centered about the convention of thé union at Atlanta recently and on the history and work of the unlon. it was an evening of interest to the many members of the soclety who had been unable to attend the convention, and the various numbers of the program took vp in detall and recounted the work that bad been done there. Some time was also given by Mr. George and Miss Moore to the place of the convention and the pleasures of the trip to the conventioh and of Georgin and Atlanta as points of interest for north- erners.

[TALES TOLD BY TOURISTS Nonexplosive Gasol'ne Tablet Salesman Open to Stage Engagements JACK MORROW, DISPENSER OF GOOD RUM Traveler Says Nebraska History Dise closes Lynching of a Woman—Fort Riley Club House Mose Wal- ler's Monument. “The season for my business is about over,' sald the non-explosive gasoline tab- let salesman, “and I am thinking of going ihto the show business. Hypnotism is my long suit, and, if I can get one of the theaters to play me on a percentage basis, we will make a nice thing out of it for both of us. My specialty is hypnotizing by long-distance telephone. Can't do that very well in a theater, but when I do It in a hotel it gives me a big advertisement. “Say, I had a warm old experience in the show business in this state once. That's been a good many years ago, so 1 guess it's outlawed now and it won't hurt to tell it. “There was § gang of us operating a min- strel show out in the western part of the state. The towns In those days were smafl and a long ways apart. The place at which we were to show on this particular occasion was a town adjoining a military post. There was no hall big enough in the town to show in 80 we engaged a blg, vacant store- house at the post. A sort of stage was improvised in the back end, with a tar- paulin for a curtain, and we used tomato cans cut half In two lengthwise for foot- light shades, with candles for lights. Me and my pard were already corked up for the show and were selling and taking tickets, The house was soon full to over- flowing, with about as tough a crowd of miners, frelghters and soldiers as could be scared up. Me and my pard didn't go on In the first part, so we were in no hurry. But the fellows on the stage didn't seem to be In any hurry either. The house was full and it was long after curtain-raising time and the footlights hadn't been lit and the audience was getting impatient. Finally mo and my pard went back to the stage and were astounded to find that the whole caboodle of performers were gone. We found a note under a piece of soap that was used as a candlestick, that stated that the Dboys were too drunk to play, and they had all jumped on board a train bound for Omaha and, if we would hurry, we could catch the second section of the train. Just then we heard the train whistle up the road and we had no other recourse but to climb out the back window and board it as it slacked up at the quartermaster's depot. What else could we do? Well, we came on down to Omaha on that train, leaving all the show properties at the post. ive or six days afterward me and my pard were attending a show at the old Academy of Music here in Omaha, and saw Adah Isaacs Menken play “Mazeppa.” Two fellows were sitting right in front of us and one of them was telling the other about the devil of a time that happened at a show several days before out in the western part of the state. It was our min- strel show that didn't go off, that he was talking about. He said the audlence stood it for awhile and then sent a commlttee up on the stage to see what was up. The committee came back and reported that the showmen had skipped and then there was merry Jerusalem to pay. We were sort of afraid that the fellow might recognize us and didn’t stay to see the ‘‘Mazeppa"” per- formance out, but got a boat and rowed over to the other side of the river and hiked out for Council Blufts. “Say, if any of you fellows stand in with any of the theater owners here and will help me get my hypnotic show on I'll di- vide the proceeds with you." Joe Merryman, an oldtimer from Me- Pherson county, was in Omaha Sunday and was lamenting the disappearahee of the old ploneers of the Platte country, when 1t took nerve to be a ploneer. “One of the best and bravest men I ever knew,” he sald, “was old Jack Morrow. You've all heard of Jack Morrow's ranch. It was one of the stopping places on the overland trall in the old days, and Jack kept the best whisky sold on the plains. Fifty cents and a dollar a nip was the price, according to the time of the year. He generally laid in a barrel about Christ- mas or New Year's, and every time he sold a drink or a jug out of it he would fill the barrel up with water. 8o about Thanksgiving time the liquor was a little weak, and then's when you could get it for 50 cents a snort. “Jack owned about everything in that country and nearly everybody was in debt to him. He was a generous creditor to any- one who showed a disposition to pay up, but Lord help the fellow that tried to beat him. I remember one fellow did try It and Jack got out of patience with him entirely. The well at Jack's place had got out of whack and so Jack persuaded this debtor of his to go down and fix it. After the fellow got to the bottom Jack pulled up the rope and bucket, and then called down to the fellow that as soon as he made up his mind to pay him-he would send the bucket down again. He kept the fellow in that well nearly two days be- fore the chap agreed to give him a horse to square the account. The fellow was able enough to do it, but thought he could beat Jack out of the bill. Jack got his horse all right enough.” “There was a story going the rounds of the newspapers here some time ago to the effect that only one woman was ever known to have been lynched by & mob in the United States,” sald E. L. Helm of “I do not remember where that particular case of lynching hap- pened or when. But I do know that Ne- braska has to its credit, or dlscredit, a case of woman lynching. It happened at a place called Spring ranch, east of Blue Hill, along in the winter of 18%. The woman lived with a tough character there as her husband. Both of them came from Texas, I belleve, and they conducted a kind of a ranch. One or two young men who had engaged to work for the couple had mysteriously disappeared, and finally the body of another hand of theirs was found secreted in an old straw stack. “A party of men from Blue Hill and else- where in that vicinity went out to the ranch one night and, taking the man and woman from their house, strung them both up on the Spring Branch ridge bridge. The two were left hanging there one or two days. “There was another pulled off there at Blue Hill some time before that. The victim had been taken strange lynching down to Red Cloud for trial for some des- perate crime, and he was cleared. His a torney was, as I remember, J. N. Rickards. After the trial the cleared prisoner went back up to Blue Hill, accompanied by his attorney and the sheriff of Webster county. He wus taken away from the officers and the mob strung him up to a windmill tower and left him. The sheriff and Rickards cut the fellow down a few minutes after- wards, and managed to resuscitate him and got him away from there, and the fel- low was still living up to & few years ago. “Blue Hill was & hot old pruposition in those days and woe be unto the show that undertook to perform there that did mnot come up to the Blue Hill standard of ex- cellence. One barnstorming troupe put in an wspearance there and advertised with flaming posters. The night the show was 1o come off there was some lttle delay in ' AUGUST 31 stalwart Blue Hillers went up on the stage and urged immediate action. The show people were indignant and refused to glve the performance because of the unwar- ranted Interference of the committee, and the wind-up of the affalr was that they had to refund the admission and were glven just an hour to get out of town, and they got." “The coming autumn army maneuvers at Fort Riley recalls the fact that there was a notable character at that post a few years ago by the name of Mose Walters," sald an old Junction City, Kan., resident now sojourning at Omaha, at the Mer- chants last evening. “Mose Walters built the big stone post trader's store there a good many years ago and made a big fortune out of the venture. He came there from Dodge City, where he operated a saloon in the wild days of Dodge City, and prior to that time ran a simflar concern at Hays City, Kan. Some of the biggest achievements of Wild Bill (Hickok) were at Hays City and he and Mose Walters were close friends for a long time. Mose was even quicker with & gun than Wild Bill and it was a little trouble that he and Bill had over the lat- ter's wanton killing of ¥d. McCall that eventually drove Wild Bill out of Kansas.| And Mose Walters was the party that caused Bill to leave. He and Bill were enemies ever afterwards and it was Wal- ters that subsequently staked Jack McCall, Ed.’s brother, and started him to Dead- wood after Bill. Jack swore before he left Kansas that he would kill Bill for the murder of his brother and he kept his word, shooting him, as you will remem- ber, while Bill was playing cards in a| Deadwood saloon. Walters has been dead these many years, but the magnificent Sol- dlers’ club house at Fort Riley is his mon- ument. It is a big two-story stone struc- ture and is one of the finest buildings at the fort. It cost about $50,000 to bulld it." FOR KRUG OPENING TONIGHT Program for the Formalities to Be Observed on the Occasion of the Theater's Dedication, Some formality will attend the opening of the new Krug theater this evening. Mayor Moores has been invited to say a few words in behalf of the city and its people, but it s not Mkely that his physi- clan will allow him to go out in the even- ing. In event of the mayor's inability to be present the opening talk will be made by Harry B. Zimman, . president of the council. Hon. John Lee Webster will speak for the managers of the house, Hudson, Ju- dah, Stair & Havlin, to be followed by a few words from Otls B. Thayer, the star ot “Sweet Clover,” who will speak for the people back of the scenes. Indications are that the house will be sold out entirely before time for ringing up the curtain and the audience will not only be very large, but representative. A number of theater parties are booked for | the opening night. Manager Judah will be present with a party of friends from Kan- sas City and it is probable that Manager Stair will come in from the east in time to be present at the opening. Yesterday morning Resldent Manager Gonden put his corps of uvshers through & practical rehearsal, so that confusion may be avoided In seating the jarge audi- ence that will certainly be present tonight. Wabash Resumes Service. Baturday the Wabash had its service to St. Louls interrupted iby a washout near Blanchard and ell of the trains on the line were run over thié tracks of the Kan- sas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs as far as Dawsonville, where they aguin took the Wabash line imtd Kansas City and 8t.

Overlap Bond Issne Again Hangs Fire on Matter of Sale. CLEVELAND BUYERS LOOKING INTO TERMS After Agreeing to Take the Issue the Firm Begins to Write Letters Asking More Information Concerning the City, When the issue of $70,000 overiap bonds were sold to Brandels & Sons of Omaha, those having back salaries due felt that they would receive their money not later than September 1. This is hardly probable now. At a meeting of the council two ago Mr. Clark, representing the Brandeis bank in Omaha, asked that the council consent to a transfer of the sale to W. J. Hayes & Sons of Cleveland, O. He showed telegrams from these eastern bankers offering to purchase the bonds and also deposited with the city clerk a certi- fied check for $3,00 signed by officers of the Hayes bank. Mayor Koutsky did not like the idea of permitting this transfer, but as the members of the council could see nothing wrong in the transaction a reso- lution was passed permitting the transfer. Immediately upon receipt of/ the advice that the transfer had been made Hayes & Sons wired the city clerk for a complete history of the bonds. This was forwarded and the understanding was that the bonds should be accepted by September 1. After the first history had been forwarded the castern bankers wanted still further in- formation. This was furnished. Now the Hayes bank wants to know the names of the city officlals, when elected and how long they have to serve. The buyers also want to know the bonded debt of the ity and the amount levied for the present fiscal year and also if any provision has been made to take up the bonds as they come due. With the exception of the names of all of the city officials and the date of the expiration of thelr terms of offices, the Information in the letter re- celved yesterday has been furnished Should the sale of these bonds fail at this time it is more than Iikely that the proposition will again be submitted at the fall election. In case this is done the or- dinance authorizing the bonds will be changed 50 as to remove some of the ob- lectionable features. Bankers say they want a straight ten or twenty year bond. This cannot be given, as the charter pro- vides for the five-year option. However, this five-year option Is not as objection- able as the present ordinance, which makes a provision for a sinking fund and the taking up of one bond each year. Bond buyers do not like this idea and it is thought that this is one of the reasons for the bonds not having sold to better advantage. The Brandels bank bought the bonds at par. These bonds bear 5 per cent interest. weel Cavalry Troop Camp. Arrangements are being made for the South Omaha cavalry troop to go into camp at Fort Omaha on September 7 and remain there until September 14. Five re- cruits have enlisted within the last few weeks and an effort is belng made to se- cure more men in’ order that the troop can make a good showing when in camp. Captain McCulloch and some of the troop- ers tried to get to York yesterday to visit the camp there, but when they found that the trains were from six to ten hours late they gave up the idea and returned home. Shipping Ice South, Last winter the local ice dealers packed an enormous quantity of ice, but in spite of the small demand for ice this summer the dealers say that there will be no sur- plus. This is accounted for by reason of the floods at Kansas City and St. Louls. Tce is being shipped almost dally from South Omaha to Kansas City und other southern points. These shipments heave materfally reduce the visible supply and consequently the dealérs assert that there will be no surplus when the summer is over. Teachers' Meeting Today. There will be a general teachers' meet- ing at the high school bullding this after- noon at 2 o'clock. Superintendent McLean wants to have every teacher who has been employed for the coming school year to be present. The work for the first semester will be discussed and the teachers will be assigned to rooms and grades. At 8 o'clock there will be a meeting of principals at the ruperintendent's office, when the prin- cipals will be instructed in their dutles.
