Warden Reeve stated yesterday that he
was greatly pleased with the manner in
which his wards at the prison are behav-
ing themselves. On Wednesday, for the
first time in very long time, not a
mark was placed against a prisoner at
the prison court, conducted in the after
noon by Deputy Warden Alexander. The
prison population now numbers 526. and
of this number only IL are in the third
grade.
Nearly all of the new machinery for the
prison Irvine factory has arrived, but
some delay in starting will be caused by
the nOn-arrival of shafting, pulleys, etc,
ordered at a meeting of the board of
prison managers a month ago. Evidently
the transportation companies handling
the new machinery from the factories to
this city were not careful enough, for
many pieces are broken and will have
to be replaced.

MINISTERS ARE SCORED.
Omaha Judge DenOunces Christian
ity as Preached ia That CitN.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. I4.-Judge C. r.
Scott today challenged Revs. Mackay
and Herring, two Omaha ministers, to
preach Christ from their pulpits, and
drama ticalgy declared. hat If they would
not, and would surrender their pupits he
tthe COURT would preach Christ in the
most primitive form, as his religion was
taught by the apostles and not by hypo-
crits. The extraordinary speech was pro-
voked by the appearance of the ministers
to answer to a. charge of contempt be-
cause they had written letter to the
court suggesting that two orphans whom
the court had in charge, would be better
off in asylum than with relatives
The court was crowded with the fash
ionable congregations of both ministers
Some of the caustic comments of the
court were roundly applauded. The con-
tempt proceedings We're continued.
At times the judge dropped into scrip
ture, and quoted extracts so rapidly that
a stenographer could hardly keep up with
him
Suffer little children to come unto
me-" was one of the verses he rccited
AT the end of these quotations he turned
to the preachers and said: eff YOU don {
know where to find these quotations

~ have preached more true Gospel here
today" said Judge Scott. than has been
heard in Omaha from any pulpit within
the last fourteen years challenge you
to preach plain Gospel and If you are
not going to preach it let me have your
pulpits and I'll preach a sermon myself

plainly.

there is In all the sermons preached from
all the pulpits in Omaha. If you will
show me preacher who will preach the
right kind of sermon I will crawl on
my knees to attend his church-yes,
will hunt all over Omaha for It,"
At the close of this rema rka bic court
proceeding Revs. Mackay and Herring
approached the bench and extended their
hands to Judge Scott. A throng gathered
about to hear what was said. Rev. Mr.
Herring gave the court to understand
that he was sincere in what he had said
in the much-talked-of letter and that he
Joined In writing the letter because he
believed he was right in so doing. Rev
Mr.. Mackay said something along the
same line. Although the court shook
hands with the preachers he did not seem
inclined to enter into any further discus
sion of the case.
