The mar- rlage took place on January 10, 1850, in Sencea county, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Crouch have had eleven children, of whom i|six are now lving.

Cockrell, to whom all democratic Mis- sourians say thelr prayers, to say nothing of “Gumshoe Bill" Stone. “Ban” Johnson, whoever he is, was called several times for a speech, and finally told that the insurgent movement which had been started by the band of thirty in Lincoin had extended to Kansas, from which state he had recently returned, and that it was sweeping over the Stubbites llke a prairfe fire. This was cause for great applause. Dr. Finney Wants New Party. Judge Cosgrave, who has the congre slonal bee In his own honnet, insisted that the band of thirty should not rest content with beating Burkett and Brown, but should defeat all the ccngressmen in the state who did not get into the bandwagon quickly. But wh Corgrave wanted all the senators and congressmen beaten, Dr. Firney demanded that the tall should go with the hide and a new party be organized Tight then and there. Others were content with merely beating Burkett and Brown and foreing Taft to resign. Joe Johnson, who was somewhat promi. nent in & bunch of “fake reformers’ some menths ago, kinder put a kink In the chau: tauqua speakers and grandstanders when he told of his visit to Washington. The late food commissioner said he found Sena- tor Aldrich the hardest working man in the city. He had not time even to visit. He represented his constitutents. When he wanted anything he demanded it in the name of his people and he got it. The matter with Nebraska, he said, was that it had not sent big men to Washington. It the state would send & man of the ability of the odious Aldrich, he sald, the people would get recognition, He blamed those present at the meeting for this condition. Though the insurgents have used the name of Congressman Norrls as well as that of Mr. Whedon to work up interest in the movement as soon as Mr. Whedou announced his ecandidacy their officlal organ, D, E. Thompson's Lineoln Star, erased the name of Judge Norris from the #enatorial blackboard and today asks the democrats to endorse Mr. Norrls for con- gress In the Fifth district and nominate no candidate against him, in order to give him an unopposed re-election.

SUNDAY DIVERSIONS BIG CAUSE Not Roomt Fnough in Omaha Churches ds of the Professing - Dr. MeBride Atenement. e Causes and Remedies," of the discourse of Rev. the First Baptist church “Bupty Pews, the subject J. W. Conley at Sunday morning. “1 hud intended,” sald Dr. Conley, “to talk upon the subject of ‘Safe Investments’ this morning, but recognizing the proba- bility of empty pews at the evening service, decided to transpose the theme rather than to talk on ‘Empty Péwe' to empty pews.” His text was from. Hebrews x:85, “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves to- gether, as the manner of some is; but exhorting oné amother; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.’ Disoussing the serlousness of the ques- tion A8 to why so many people remain away from church, ahd why so many empty pews, particularly at the evening services, Dr. Conley sald in part: ‘‘Many causes are glven. We are told that thers are téo many churches, hence too many pews to flll. Let us see about this in' Omahd, with its 160,000 population. The ting capacity of the Protestant churches of Omaha js about 2,000, and the Baptist churches have. capacity for about 2,00. There are possibly 50,000 professing Christians in the oity, and should 30,000 of these dttend the churches, possibly 20,000 would not be able to get in. There are not too many churchés. “Then again we are told that in holding two services In the week, Sunday and mid- week, it {8 asking too much in thus giving approxmliately five hours to church services. ‘“There are not too many services. Men are not less religious today than they were in times of old, but religion is more of a personal element in this modern day than in the external elements of the religlon of the olden times. I belleve that there is an increased spiritual feellng today, more than formerly, and that the lack of church at- tendance {8 not indicative of a lack of religlous feeling. “In our church services, the minds of most men turn toward the pulpit. For this reason we should have a better pulpit service, and one less given, as s held, to the Qiscussion of Worn-out doctrines. Agreed, that there should be a better inter- pretation of the mors practical energles uf lite. The plipit s not & scholastic institu- tion. It is & wonder to.me when a preacher has to stand twice each Sunday and speak to the same people that we do as well as we do. It Is a difffcult thing to fire at Ibng range over empty pew: “One great fault of Protestantism is the magnitying of the pulpit. ‘We ought to come to Ehurch to worship; to feel the in- spiration of God In our songs of praise and our prayers, Protestantism has lald great tasks upon men, . “We are told In'some of the magazines that the church is not what it ought to be; that there s too much hypocrisy In it. 1 want to say that this is & dishonest de- duction, The dishonest or hypocritical elder or deacon s largely a fiction of the brain that is not borhe out by the facts. Rarely in my ministty haye 1 met such an one. ‘Mhere I8 far more. hypoerisy outside than in the churoh. We are again told that there Is & lack-of sociability, ot anly Sunday, but duringi'the week ‘days. = An< cther cause is given that church members are (ndifferent themselves, Another cause glven for empty pews is that the church is everlastingly appealing for money, and that unless a man i8 a liberal giver he is not recognized. Yet after all the money belongs to God. In the lodge or club if we pay our dues regularly and promptly we are all right, if not we quit. Persons oan be members in goodl #tanding In the church if they are unable to pay their mite. It mwey be true that sometimes we unduly pledge means beygnd the ability to pay and I.do know that many pledges are made and paid at a great sacrifice. “We are again told that it is because we are behind the times that there are so maiy empty pews In our churches. The - {church has been always potent In stimu- latieg the. vital forces of our soclal and clvie life. Men whose souls are fired by clvic reform are inyariably men who are ocnsecrated to the service of the lving God. The me nand essayists who contro- vert this are the ones that are behind the time; he highest work of the Christian mis- sions has been in bringing the heathen into the lien and practice of human prog- ress. “Never has there been a time in the history of the churoh when the pulpits of the lanll are ranging higher with ‘all the elements of human progress than now. “Another cause for empty pews Is that men are so absorbed with business that they can find no place nor time for the work of the living (God. The world has toc great a grip upon them. Temptation and immorlity has crowded out the better instinets, Men know that they are wrong, but do not want to eb troubled by their cor sclences. “A most potent factor in contributing to enpty pews is the craving for Sunday amusements, for Sport and recreation, the abomination of the Stnday theators. Yei 1 venturc to say that the great hody of actors want Sunday for rest, but they are driven liké slaves to thelr work to amuse and entertain for the mercenary advantage of thelr employers. Taking the Sabbath for amusements (s not for recreation and rest, but for the mercenary advantage of those who profit from it. Meeting of States’ Attorneys. PIERRE, 8.

In an address outlinging the doctrines of adventists, President E. T.

REPUBLICANS PASS THEM UP Many Who Attended First Insurgent Session Nat Present at Second. (From a Statf Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan: 16.—(Special Telegram.)— The hardest blow yet received by the self- styled Insurgent republicans of Lincoln was dealt to them today, when thelr objcet was repudiated by Attorney General Thomp- son and by Jasper L. McBrien by their re- tusdl to attend a meeting tonight. Both Mr. Thompson and Mr. McBrien flatly re: fused to go and Mr. Thompson announced that he would go with the insurgents no farther, while McBrien wrote a withdrawal from the committe to which he had been appointed in his absence. N George Tobey also failled to attend the meeting tonight. But the insurgents in- surged just the same, Expecting a. big crowd, they paid $10 for the Walsh hail and drummed the streets for their friends and fellow wufferers and secured an at tendance of thirty-two. But they Insurged to the “queen's taste” and they not only announced their purpose to get the scalp of Senator Burkett, but the head of Senator Norris Brown Is next io rollow into the basket. Senator Brown came In for the same kind of scoring that Burkett Wi siven. So flerce wis the denunclation of Presi- dent Taft by C. C. Flansburg that Colone) Boydson, a democrat, in & stage whisper, sald to his seatmate, “John, aren't you glad you didn’t vote for him?" Whedon Endorsement Put Off, It was anticipated that the meeting was to endorse the candidacy of C. O. Whedon. whose announcement had been made during the Afternoon, but the crowd was so small that this was left to a more auspicious time. Mr. Whedon was eulogized by County Judge Cosgrave as a second Henry Cabot Lodge and also compared to a few of the pastmasters in statesmanship. Judge Cos- grave waxed so wrathy at the awful condi- tions of the country that in a great burst of eloguence he exclaimed, as the tears marred his cheeks, "It almost makes my blopd whirl to think of the conditlons as they exist now.” The judge covered the history of the world from 50 years before the landing of the Pligrims and never were the people in such bondage as today, It remained for George Adams, however, to clear the Nebraska senators of the charge of preventing the reappointment of Charles A. Goss as United States district attorney. Mr. Adams sald Mr. Goss had been appointed first by Roosevelt and that was why he had been refused a second term by President Taft. Adams insisted on denouncing practically all of the.mem: bers of the preseyt cabinet. Reformer C. C/ Flansburg was elected chairman of the meeting and Reformer John C.

Wonderful Results Claimed for New Treatment by Easterner, DENIES MANY WILD RUMORS Says Reports of Restored Hearing at W Hands Have Besn Very Much Exaggerated by Can an individual who has been deat for & number of years be made to hear again The answer to the above question would seem to be an emphatic “NO,” yet the | Cooper ‘‘stomach man,” who s now in |Omaha introducing the preparations which have made him famous throughout the United States, says, ““Under certain condi tions, yes.'" Reports from eastern cities state that Cooper gave demonstrations in which he agreed to make deaf people hear again in thiees minutes with one of his preparations, and it s Claimed he was successful In many cases. When asked about these soeming miraoles yestorday the “'stomach man’ sald “In cases where deafness has been pro- duced by catarrhal trouble I have & prepa- ration that will bring rellef in a few mo- ments' {{me, but only In cases of this char- acter. In the éast I have given publio demonstrations with my medicine thay were really astonishing, but the reports of what 1 accomplished became greatly exaggerated, and It was claimed I could restore the hearing of any deat person in a few mo- ments' time. This s not true, by any means, &nd these false reports odused many people great disappointment. For Instance, one man came all the way from Omaha to New York when I was there last year, who had been stone deaf from birth. He was almost broken-hearted when 1 refused to even try to help him. Such an experience as this makes me very cautious, a8 it 18 a terrible thing to witness the de- spair of an individual such as this man, who had been led to belleve there was hope for him. “I shall give some of these demonstra- tions in Omaha and will attempt to relieve sufferers from oatarrhal 'ness in three minutes. If I am successtul I will bs more ready to discuss it. I, of courss, charge nothing for these demonstrations. “1 shall be at the drug department of the Brandels stores from 10 o'clock in the morning to 6 in the evening each day dur- Ing my stay here, Baturday night the hour will be extended to § o'clock. I came here to convince the haif-sick people of this city that the only thing the matter with them was an overworked, worn-out stom- ach. I have convinced thousands of per- sons here already, and shall.convert many more to my new health theorles before I leave.” Don't be afraid to give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to your children.
