evening, when the Sunday school OF
the First Congregational church held
their exercises in the auditorium OF
that edifice. An old-fashioned CHM
ney, erected from bricks made Of candy
boxes, from which old st. Nick emerg-
ed. aided greatly in enhancing the
JOY of the little ones and the venerable
old saint, before whom the most cyni-
cal must bow at this season, was ac-
claimed with shouts of welcome. A
fine Christmas entertainment was rem
dered by the little ones, assisted by
the adults.
The programme consisted Of the fol-
lowing selections: Recitation, Gretta

ON TRAIL OF THE KIDNAPPERs.
One of Them Believed to Have Left
a Horse in an Iowa Town.

One Of Them Believed to Have Left
Horse in an Iowa Town.
BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press
Omaha, Dec. 26.--The police believe
that the bay pony found at Pacific
Junction. Ia, on friday morning. in
the stable of Mrs. LAld Mack. was used
by the lidnappers of Eddie Cudahy.
The horse was found after neighbors
had noticed a strange man coming
from the barn in the early morning.
1t is believed that the animal was rid
den across the ferry at Plattsmouth
by one OF the kidnappers, who slept in
the barn over night and left his horse
behind. The horse will be brought to
Omaha.
Mr.. Cudahy expresses himself as
pleased with the progress of the case,
and believes that the kidnappers Will
he apprehended He makes a denial of
the sensational threats he is reported
to have made in certain dispatches.
Both Mr.. Cudahy and the police have
been receiving letters from "Eloise IT,
who has been writing from Cincinnati
asking why the police think Pat Grove
is one of the kidnappers, by what law
he could be punished, etc. The letters
are written on stationery of the Wind
sor hotel. Omaha, two months old,
when the hotel was under former
management. The letters apparently
have been mailed to Cincinnati from
here and remailed by confederate.
Other letters are from cranks and SYM
pathizers.

.EpET1T1oN OF THE cANTATA.
he Methodist Sunday School Will
Again Render "The Prophet Of
Nazareth.O


The cantata, "The Prophet OF Naz-
areth," by Charles A. Gabriel which
was given so magnifcently at the First
Methodist church on Christmas night
by the Sunday school, assisted by the
choir and orchestra, Is to be repeated
tomorrow evening. An admission rec
of ten cents will be charged, IN order
to raise small fund topurchase books
for the Sunday school, which 1t Is sadly
in need of. The entertainment, in IT.
self, is worthy of a much larger ad-
mission price, and should be heard by
another large audience.
on Christmas night the several SOLO
lists sang in good voice and with clear
enunciation; the responses by the
quartettes were sung sweetly and the
voices blended harmoniously. The
ladies' octette was admirably given;
nothing better than this number has
been heard in this town for a long
time. Their "Glory to God in the
Highest" in an adjoining room, and
the response by the school Of "Hark!
The Herald Angels Sing" was simply
grand. The chorus work was given
with a vim and dash seldom heard
from little folks. The soft parts and
the crescendos were we'll rendered, and
the climaxes were thrilling. The whole
cantata showed much work and care
ful training. A large audience will, no
doubt, greet them again on Friday, as
no better entertainment Of its kind has
ever been given in this city.
