TRUE ELOQUENCE.

Do you know that the holy spirit al
most always uses insignificant means?
Eloquent sermons never save anybody.
Philosophical sermons never save any
body. Metaphysical sermons never save
anybody. But the minister comes some
Sabbath to his pulpit worn out with en-
gagements and the jangling of frenzied
dOOrbell. He has only text and two or
three ideas, but he says: 80 Lord, help
me. Here are good many people may
never meet again. | have not much to
say. Speak thou through my poor lips"
And before the service is done there are
fearful eyes and a solemnity like the
Judgment.
The, great French orator, when the
dead king lay before him, looked up and
cried, God only is great!' and the tri-
umph Of his eloquence has been told by
the historians. Bat l have not heard
that one soul was saved by the oratoric2l
flourish. Worldly critics may think that
the early preaching of Thomas Chalmers
was a masterpiece. But Thomas Chal-
ners says he never began to preach until
he came out of the sickroom, white an
emaciated, and told men the simple story
of Jesus. In the great day of eternity it
will be found that the most souls have
been brought to Christ not by the Boz
suets and Massillons and BOurdalOueS,
but by humble men, who, in the strength
of God and believing in the eternal spir-
it, invited men to Jesus.
There were wise salves, there were ex-
cellent ointments, suppose, in the tiIAe
But Jesus turned his back upon them
and put the tip of his finger to his tongue,
and then with the spittle that adhered
to the finger he anoinCed the eyes Of the
blind man, and daylight poured into his
blinded soul. Sc it is now that the spirit
of God takes that humble prayer meet
ing talk, which seems to be the very
saliva of Christian influence. and anoints
the eyes of the blind and pours the sun
light Of pardon and peace upon the soul.
Oh, my friend, l wish we could feel it
more and more that if any good is donei it
Is by the power of Gods nmnipotent
spirit l do not know what hymn MAY
bring you 10 Jesus. do not know what
words of the Scripture lesson read may
save your soul. Perhaps the spirit of
God may hurl the very text into your
heart, Come, for all things are now
ready"

down here on a visit to his parents, who live
near the home of MIR. Smeltzer, and tried to
get to see his children, but was not allowed
10 come on the premises where they were.
Last evening there was a school exhibition
in the neighborhood, being the close of
school, and the whole neighborhood was
present. Argabright went with a friend,
who was a stranger in the neighborhood,
and it became whispered about among the
audience that Arabright was there with an
officer to take the children by force, and q
few determined men, among them Mr.. Smelt-
ger, the grandfather, determined that this
should not be done.
Mrs. Smeltzer, the grandmother, was stand
ing will Argaoright's little girl in her arms,
all wrapped up, when Argabright approached
and said: is this my little girli" and at
tempted to remove the covering from the
child's face, when MIR. Smeltzer, supposing
that he was attempting to take the child by
force. came to the rescue of his grandchild
and hit Argabright with his fist. Then
ArgabrighJ drew his revolver and shot him.
Two or three men then grabbed Argabright
and disarmed him ana brought him to Au-
burn last night where he is now in jail.
Mr.. Smeltzer was conveyed to the family
home about one mile distant, but only lived
about thirty minutes.
Argabright claims there were three or
four hitting and pounding him, and that he
shot in self defense. he went to South
Omaha over two years ago and was a tag
ger in Swift's packing house under DIR. S.
w. McGrew. But he obtained a place on
the police force of South Omaha, and he
was wearing his star and belt at the time
he shot MIR. Smeltzer.
Mr.. Smeltzer was a welt-to-do farmer and
an old resident of this county, about 60
years of age, and a man very generally re-
SDecteu.

Well Liked I'm South Omaha Story of His
Domestic Troubles.
William Smeltzer, the man who was killed,
was well known in South Omaha, he having
visited here a number of times after Mr..
Argabright located in this city. AT the
time of the Independent national convention
which met in Omaha July 4, 1892, MIR. Smelt-
ger was u delegate. He arrived here on the
third and was taken so sick that he could
not attend the convention. He remained
here for two months, all the time being
under the care and treatment of q local
physician. All this time he remained at
the home of MIR. Argabright. Mr.. Smeltzer
was a large man. He generally weig ned
300 pounds. Those who knew him say he
was q man OF strong likes and dislikes.
While in South Omaha he had an exalted
opinion of his son-in-law and thought what
ever Billy did was about correct. 1t
seems that of late his love for his son-in-law
grew cold.
Onicer Argabright lived at Twentieth and
Brown streets. lie had two children. one
about 2 and the other less than | year old.
For n year there has been discord in the
family. 1t is claimed that Argabright spent
more or less OF ms time with a woman who
lived in the neighborhood, and rumor had u

One evening last November. after walking
his beat all DAY he went to his residence
only TO find it deserted. Mrs. Argabright's
father, accompanied by a farmer neighbor
from Nemahac county, quietly came To South
Omaha and loading up what effects they
wanted, drove across the country to PapIl-
lion and from there went TO MIR, Smeltzer's
home, where Mrs, Argabright and the chill
dren have been ever since. Argabright Is
not a man who has a great deal
10 say and he kept his domestic
troubles TO himself.
When Mr., Smeltzer was here some time
ago he loaned his revolver to MIR. Arga-
bright. A short time ago Argabright bought
n gun of his own and loaned the SmeltZer
gun 10 Chief Mitchell. Just before lea wing
the city Argabright asked Mitchell for tho
revolver, stating tina: as he now had a re-

and Argabrlght took the shells from IL and
placed 1t in his pocket. He babe the officers

Telegram to The Bee)-Willlam Smeltzer, a
wealthy farmer, was shot and killed by ].
w. Argabright, his son-in-law, last night
during u school concert in the Champion
school house, four miles west of this place.
Mrs. Argabright left her husband about
three months ago and has since been MAX
ing her home at her fathers (Smeltzer's)
house. Argabright, who is a member of the
South Omaha police force, has several times
tried to effect n reconciliation with her but
all in vain.
Yesterday he again came down from
Omaha and going to her fathers house
asked permission to see his two little chill
dren. Shelter refused and warned him not
to come there any more. Argabright quietly
left, making no threats or remonstrances.
All parties were present at the concert and
after it was out young Argabright advanced
toward his wife saying, "May l see my
baby2" She started to let him see the child
when her father struck Argabright, nearly
knocking him down. Smeltzer again I ruck
at him and Argabright backed off, when
James Sparks, another son-in-law of Smelt-
ger, struck Argabright behind tho ear.
Argabright stepped back and pulling his
revolver from his pocket warned them not
to come any further as he was desperate
and would shoot, Smeltzer rushed at him
and commenced striking when Argabright
fired, the ball passing through the lower part
OF his heart. Smeltzer lived about thirty
minutes after he was shot. Several
of the witnesses grabbed Argabright and
took his revolver from him and tied him.
He offered little resistance. He was taken
to Auburn aud turned over to Sheriff Glas-

TEKAMAH, Neb., Feb. 10. -(Special to

now demand an exemption OF the g, 900,

LINCOLN CITIZENS PROTEST.
They Object to the Erection of n Hig

They Object to the Erection of n High
School Building.
LINCOLN, Feb. 10. Especial to The Bee.)
"A mass meeting Of business men was
held last evening at the court house to
protest against the erection of the proposed
new high school building at the present
time. The discussion took a wide range and
at the close of the meeting the following
resolution was adopted:
"Resolved, That it IS the sense OF the
people and taxpayers OF Lincoln, in mass
meeting assembled. that it is for the best in
terests of all the school district that all the
money now available for the erection of new
buildings, or so much thereof as necessary,
be expended in erecting buildings for the
use of grade work, and that the erection of
a High school building be deferred until
some future time"
Tn general feeling is that the school
board will go ahead with the erection of the
building in spite of the protests of the mass
meeting. The chief objection to the cree
tion of the new High school building at the
present time is that the ward schools are
deficient, and that many children are I'M
able to attend school for lack of room.
Il. II. Leavitt today secured a Judgment
against Frank Rawllns for $500. Leavitt
was injured in an accident occasioned by the
running away OF a team hired from Rawlins.
Six other people were also seriously injured
and one man killed. Six more suits are
pending against Rawlins.
Judge Hall today ordered the sale of the
Outcalt stock farm south of Lincoln to
satisfy a judgment for Sl2, 900 secured
against X. G. Outcalt, cashier of the Capital
National bank, by Younker Bros. of Des
MONIES. Outcalt transferred the title of
the farm to d.. L. Thompson the day after
the bank closed its doors, but the court set
the transfer aside.
The total amount of the judgments en-
tered against Mosher and Outcalt in the
present session of the federal court is $685.
000. A great many moro suits are pending.
The federal court finished it's labors this
morning for the week and took an adjourn
