FIRE CORONER IS PROBABLE
Ordinance TO Establish New city Of
nce to Ne Considered
Tuesday.

There will be a meeting Of the insurance
committee OF the Commercial club Tues
day for the purpose OF taking up the pro-
posed ordinance to establish the office Of
FIRE coroner In this city. The terms of the
proposed ordinance will be discussed and
members Of the city council may be called
into consultation
!. is said that the committee has assur-
ance from the majority OF the council that
when the tax is levied provision will be
made for the expense of the once, and that
the ordinance will, be adopted, II drawn
upon lines approved by the council. The
committee may consider the question Of the
selection OF a coroner and may prepare
a recommendation to the mayor and council
in the interest Of some person in whose
ability the members have confidence.
A member Of the committee said: AT
this time we are not in favor OF taking up
the question OF the rate in Omaha with
the companies. They have Just suffered q
loss of about IS, 600. 900 In Paterson, N. j.,
and aside from this the months of January
and February have not been fortunate for
the companies. I saw an estimate made
some days ago. which showed that for the
FIRST forty days In the year the ire loss in
the United States was something like ST.
600, 900, more than one-half OF which will
have to be borne by the Insurance com,
panies. For this reason we fear that the
companies will not feel like granting the
concessions that we demand, and that II
may be IN our interest to stand upon the
schedule prepared by them, making such
changes In our fire protection as we can
and demanding a reduction on account OF
the improvements as provided for under
their present rules"

THoM BACK FROM SCOTLAND
R~anchman say Scotch Need to
Break Away from Old
Forms.

John W. Thorn, who is an Omaha visitor,
spent the first seventeen years Of his life
fourteen miles from Barrie's window in
Thrums,' or to be more specific. at Perth,
fourteen miles from Kierrimuir, F~ofarshire,
which latter place is the original Of the
authors quaint word picture. Then he
came to the United States with Just ex-
pense money enough to get him through
to Oregon, where there were some people
who knew his people back in Scotland.
Later he went to Casper. Wyo., where he
began to accumulate American ideas and
American sheep. Now he has thousands
Of both and has Just taken a trip back to
the old country to more fully enjoy them.
81 still have tender feelings toward my
mother country said Mr.. Thorn. but I am
now the most enthusiastic American you
ever saw, as this trip has only served to
show me the difference. In material things
Scotland has mot changed during my alb
sence except to adopt a few American pat
ents in faruormaehinery. But its social
forms are tahout to be entirely altered as
q resultof theogrowing fever for an educa-
ton that they don't know how to turn to
practical use.e;s
1.-THE rising generation is turning to the
colleges and ~spurning all but the profess
sions, Notwithstanding the professions are
already so full that the youthful strugglers
in the large cities are nearly starving. A
Scotchman is healthy and prolific. He
raises a family OF six or more children and
by frugality keeps 1t well fed and the
members in school. When he dies he leaves
a little something, but his profits have been
so small and it has cost him so much to
keep the ladies at their books long after
the average American boy is earning his
own living in his own way that when divi-
sion is made no one Of the heirs has enough
to give him a real good start in anything.
He sets to work to acquire 1t honestly, but
in the same way that his father did, and
pretty soon his family starts and when he
dies he leaves Just such a record as his
fathers. What the Scotch people need is
to break way from old forms and old ways,
but to do so all together and with more
Yankee clevArness"

UNGRATEFUL AS THE LEPERs.
e smith Says We Take Common
blessings without Thanks.


At Trinity cathedral Sunday morning the
pulpit was supplied by Rev. Philip S. Smith,
who until the illness Of Dean Fair gave
most OF his attention to a mission church
near Florence. He preached from st. Luke,
Where are the miner" The sermon dealt
with the company of lepers who met Jesus
outside the gates Of Jerusalem and we're
cleansed by him.
while they we're the victims Of this
losthsome disease said the speaker, they
no doubt thought to be healthy again would
be the greatest blessing that could pos
sibly be bestowed upon them. but when
once they saw the white scales falling off
and the glow OF health come they seemed to
regard the change as a matter Of course.
They were not grateful. Now thai they
were cleansed they werN enjoying only such
health as was the rule. why, they asked
themselves. should we be grateful for only
such blessings as are vouchsafed the null
titude. for even now that we are cleansed
we are no better of than they?
W today are as deficient in gratitude as
we're the lepers. We think It hardly worth
while to be grateful for the common bless
ings OF life-for existence. health. home,
friends, food and the like. We take them
as a matter of course. II we recover from
an illness we say 1t was the change Of air
that did 1t, OF a change of weather, or the
skill Of a physician, forgetting that all
these are secondary and that back of them
is the power and love Of God"
Dean Campbell Fair was reported as still
confined to his bed. He sits up every day.
but only for a short time. He has no par
ticular ailment, and his condition seems to
be due to a general breaking down of the
system, due to overwork during the holiday
season.

DIR. TREFz CHALLENGES coNwELL
Defends Honesty of Poverty and
Scores Tax Dodgers.

Rev. Trefz's Sunday morning sermon at
Kountse Memorial church was in the ma
ture Of a reply to the assertion credited
to Rev. Russell Conwell of Philadelphia in
his recent lecture before the Omaha Young
Mems Christian association to the effect
that In this present age, as a rule, the poor
people are the dishonest and the rich peo-
pie the honest members Of society.
such a statement" declared Rev. Trets.
sis Just as false as to say a all poor
people are honest and all rich people DIS
honest. II it is the general rule OF this
country that the rich are honest, then are
not we to admit that the great corpora
lions, trusts and m~onopolies OF this country
with watered stock are owned by the poor
people? Costly things purchased in for
eign countries are brought hither by means
OF deception and lying, but ! have not heard
of any dollar-a-day workmen hlling their
homes with such imported treasures.
'"Just now our city is making an effort
to force the corporations to bear a Just
share OF the tax burden, but / haven't
learned that the poor people are the owners
Of such corporations, and a glance at the
personal tax list also might disclose that
the poor ave not q monopoly ON dis
honesty. A millionaire gave $500 as a
per cent Of the actual value OF his property,
yet he has cut glass in his sideboard worth
four times that much, a rug in his hall
worth nearly as much and an abundance OF
such other belongings as nns furniture, fine
pictures and hne stock.
III 1t be frue that a poor man be I'M
righteous because he is not rich. then what
OF Jesus Christ. or what OF Lincoln OF John
son or Faraday, or Newton and all the
worlds great?
Man shall not live by bread alone. but
by the no~urishment which Goodness, love
and meekness shall give unto his soul. He
only is rich who is content. He has
reached the final height of happiness who
has seen the perfect vision OF God, and
who. like Christ, is a bowed %toiler."

CRoNK WITHOUT OPPOSITION
Other Candidate for Grand Exalted
RuIer of the EIka with
= draws.

Following the great success OF the Elks'
fair comes the gratifying assurance that
George p. Cronk. the man in whose interest
the fair was projected, as the money raised
was to be used partly to advance his candi-
dacy for the ONCE of grand exalted ruler,
now has no opposition for that place.
Until q few days ago there was quite a
contest In prospect between Mr.. Cronk and
Judge James Nethaway Of Saltwater, MINI.
Judge Nethaway's friends made a hard tight
for their candidate and while Mr.. Cronk
has had all the best Of the running from
the start. the Minnesota man promised a
contest In the grand lodge which would have
been interesting, II not close. Judge Meth
away has withdrawn from the race, leaving
the field clear at this time for the man
from Omaha, and from the action of the
lodges throughout the country 1t is hardly
probably that any other candidate will be
mentioned who Will have anything like a
chance before the grand lodge. This is due
to two causes, aside from the popularity Of
Mr.. Cronk, who as the mover Of the plan
which reunited the Elks when internal dis
sentions threatened the dissolution Of the
order, has many friends in all parts OF the
country. To this personal popularity is due
the act OF the lodges in the principal cities
OF the south and west in indorsing his can
didacy. The other reasons are that on ac-
count OF the location Of the grand lodge in
Salt Lake City and the great growth Of the
order in the west. the western delegates
viii be ina majority at the grand lodge.
Omaha lodge is making active prepare
tions for the meeting of the grand lodge In
August. Saturday night Lew Raber ana
Cooley Brucker left for Salt Lake City to
make arrangements for quarters for 100
people who will go to that city from Omaha.
They will also arrange for opening head
quarters for the omaha lodge from which
the work necessary to elect Mr.. Cronk will
be done,

the pastorate of the St Mary's Avenue Con-
EDUCATIONAL church OF this city from the
recently appointed committee on supply
and selection of a pastor. Mr.. Yost will
accept the call, and although absolute con-
hrmation rests with the action Of the con-
gregation at a meeting to be held next
Wednesday evening this action will be OF n
purely formal character, there being no OPP
position to the action of the committee.
Mr.. Yost will not be able to change from
his present location for about two months,
this being. in some measure. due TO the fact
that his name has been under consideration
for only ten days. His appearance in tho
pulpit yesterday was the first opportunity
the congregation had to see and hear him.
st. Msry's Avenue Congregational church
has the largest membership OF the churches
of that denomination in Nebraska. The
salary paid former pastors has never been
less than 1880. DR.. s. Wright Butler, at

MKINLEY MONUMENT FUND
Receipts Of Nebraska association
Amount 60 Fifteen Hundred
Dollars.

The receipts Of the Nebraska Mckinley
Memorial association up to Sunday sggre-
gated S1.5i2.02. When the erection Of a
monument to the late president by popular
subscription was first projected Nebraska
was counted upon to raise $1,000 for the
fund, but from present appearances work
will have to be done by all interested in
the matter in order 10 reach that figure
by the time the money is needed.
z. Rosewater, the secretary-treasurer of
the Nebraska association, has received in
structions to a a report Of the work
so far accomplished, so that II may be
presented to the national association. which
will meet In Washington February rs. This
report will show the total receipts to the
time II is made out. and at the national
meeting the condition Of the general fund
will be ascertained. The fact that the
report is being prepared does not mean
that the work Of raising subscriptions will
cease. but II will continue until the amount
required has been raised.
In the report published last Monday there
was an error In acknowledging the receipt
OF money from A. +. williams, postmaster
at st. Edwards. The amount az published
was 32.25, when II should have been s17.27.
The correction does not make any change
in the total. as another person was credited
with the greater amount. the figures hav-
ing been transported.
The receipts itemised to date are as fol-

be satisfied and happy though we lived
many years beyond the allotted time OF
life, He said there were grumblers who
looked backward and found nothing 10 ap-
prove in their lives and who consequently
had nothing satisfying to look forward to.
He spoke OF Abraham. Isaac. David, who
after their long life on earth were satisfied
and we're ready to go when the summons
