BENSON is IN. FULL BLOOM
suburb in Glory at Night with the
New Electric Lisht-Looks Next
tor watervOrks System.

The rudy glow out beyond Walnut Hill
Monday night was neither the northern
lights, the aurora borealis, nor a reflection
OF the social outlook of the Country club.
It was the first full Hash OF Benson's cleo
trio street lights.
True, there are not a great number Of
them-one In front of the city hall and
eight at various street corners-but they
are such a big improvement over the old
gasoline equipment and they came to the
town so luckily that the citizens are sing
ing hosannas in a most exalted strain. while
the city marshal unbends his dignity long
enough to help the boys kick his gasoline
can all over the back lot.
Benson asked for an extension to it's en-
virons of the electric light system Of Omaha
and offered to pay Omaha rents for use Of
the arc lights in the streets. but the
Thomson Houston company leveled It's
eyes straight at the Bensonian strong box
and named $3.50 as the price for extending
the feed wire from Clifton Hill to the VII
iage. Benson wiped up its old gasoline
lamps and said no. That was about q year
age. Then John d. Creighton, who happens
to be a relative of Mr.. Nash, bought thirty
acres Of the old Jensen place to make a
park of 1t and decided he wanted electric

but It got the light. And as the wire was
strung through Benson, Benson was very
cordially invited to tap 1t at a reasonable
stipend per tap and has done 30.
Encouraged by this experience. the town
recently started in to get water by other
means than the sucker and handle ar
rangement. The people importuned the
water company to extend It's mains from
the Country club to Benson after A. shall
have made good on its present announced
determination Of laying to the club. The
water company has replied that to give
Benson any pressure at all IL would be
necessary to lay a 12-inch instead Of an
s-inch main to the club and then an g.
inch main on to Benson. II had been
planned TO lay only an s-inch main TO the
club, but the ofieers of the company tell
Benson that II It will contribute 81, $50 to
the laying Of the main as far as the club
they will increase itS size to twelve inches,
but that they will not promise to pipe on

does not do so within that time, however,
II will pay Benson's money back. Benson
Is winking the neither optic and informing

FOR GETTING RICH
oOnwsll Says it is . Disgrace Net to
Acquire Wealth.
ASSERTS RICH MEN ARE BEST CITIZENS
Philadelphia Preacher Expresses the
Opinion that Capital Will Come
to Anybody ON the wings
of the wind.

Every seat in Boyd's theater was filled
last night. the occasion being a lecture BY
Rev. Russell Conwell. DID,, Of Philadelphia.
The subject of DR.. Conwelrs lecture was
Acres OF Diamonds" Every man in
Omaha has had an opportunity to get rich,
but thy-al did not take it,. said the
speaker. ut is a disgrace for any man to
live In Omaha for ten years and not be
rich. Here l meet the prejudice of Chris
tian people. They will ask can you
stand here and say that young men should
devote their life to getting rich?' Three
times yes / say. Money is power and
you should pray for power. You can do
more good with 81 900, 900 than with 20 cents.
l know there are things more valuable
than money. but these things are enhanced
by money. No man has a right to be poor.
AS a rule the poor people are the dishonest
people and the rich people are the honest
people in this day Of Christian civilization.
young man, you may never have a
chance to fight your way to the presidency
by way of San Juan hill. but you can get
money and with money you can night the
the battles Of peace.
There are many persons who cannot see
this. The time has past for preachers
to stand in the pulpit ana say that the
devil Mould have all the money and the
church have the power.
'The foundations Of business success and
Of Christianity are identical. Both mean
that people must do something for their
fellows. h man who does not succeed is
one who tries to run his business for him
self alone. who works for self alone. No
man has a right yo succeed who takes
no interest in his fellows.
but you say you can do nothing without
capital. / don't need to argue that ques-
tion, for the men who are the rich men
OF yesterday were the poor boys OF a few
years ago. II you think that the rich men
are dishonest just look over this city. Your

things to my MIND is why Omaha should
have laid back and let men from Chicago
build tn big plants at South Omaha. You
could have done II. There is more good to
be done In this city by building factories

LENTENSEASON OPENS TO-DAY
Ferry Days Of fisty and Hslf-Dsnial Are
TO Gene.
FASTING NOW AteEHOtD As HEALTHY
Churches Rather Than Theaters ana
Social Functions VIII Demand m
Attention. of All Those ReIi-
giously Inclined.

Today Is Ash Wednesday, distinguished
as the opening day of the Lenten season.
While the observance Of Lent as q formal
period in the religious calendar Is more
particularly practiced by Catholics and
E~piscopalians, the season is made the oc-
caslon Of special religious exercises among
Professionals, generally. although these ex-
e~rcises are not required by the laws gov
erning the various Protestant denomina-
lions.
The Lenten season, OF spring fast, has
been celebrated for centuries, and enters
very extensively and deeply into the gen.
eral social order, regardless Of Its special
religious significance among Catholics and
-Episcopalians. The requirements In these
denominations involve the complete relaxa-
ton from social demonstrations and the
suspension OF attendance upon public
amusements, while, the private life Of each
individual is marked by the abstention
from certain foods aud by fasting during
certain periods.
In former years no meats were eaten
during the forty days Of Lent, but this is
not uniformly required when the individual
is engaged at hard labor. although the rule
applies equally to them on Fridays. There
are other exceptions, relating to the sick
and aged. The modern conception Of the
obligations Of the season relates itself more
distinctly to the inner, or spiritual, being,
rather than to outward, or physical obser-
| vance. Freedom from the demands Of So
cial life affords enlarged opportunities for
contemplation and self examination, and II
Is this that has led Protestants to make the
season the occasion of various religious
| o~bservances, Of weeks Of prayer, and other
special meetings.
Contributes to Health.
Fasting, in a greater or less degree, IL
now generally regarded as contributing
greatly to individual health, and this, with
the tightening Of the burdens upon physical
energies due to the general suspension Of
social functions, has resulted in a much
wider practice Of some OF the customs
Of the season, than distinguished the earlier
Observance Of Lent.
A distinct Increase In church attendance
is always observable during Lent, this arts
ing partly from the religious enthusiasm
inspired by the periodic call to spiritual
duty and partly from the fact that the ex-
ercises In the churches are more distinctly
responsive to the awakened sense Of spirit.
ual responsibility. Then, too, the musical
exercises are usually made especially at
