/. Bunco MAN, but the Stranger
~ f. slippery.

Frank Havllk. the Ravenna farmer who
was buncoed out of $50 on a Burlington
train Thursday evening and who. with his
wife, were given a good bed at the police
station that night, yesterday added another
chapter TO his experience in a big city. He
went over to Council Bluffs and while
standing at the station he saw a man whom
ne recognized as the same fellow who had
secured his $50 in exchange for what pur-
ported to be a. 800 bill.
eWhy, You are the man who beat me out
Of $50 yesterday" said Havlik.
''You are mistaken" said the man. II
never saw you before"
81 am not mistaken" persisted Havlik.
It was near train time and the stranger,
with much politeness and smooth talk, kept
Haylik's attention until the train arrived
and was pulling out, when he made q quick
leap and was gone: Havik insists that was
the man who got his money.
Il appears that Havlik was not as badly

HELD up IN HIS STORE
Abraham Blumenthal Confronted by Two
Masked Men.
7RoSBtRY on WEST ltAvtNwORTH STREET
six silver Dollars H. An The Booty
Obtained. hue Crime o. similar
TO that of "a Year
Ago.

While Abraham Blumenthal was engaged
In the rear part OF his grocery store at
1920 Leavenworth street, at s O'Clock last
night, two men entered and as he turned
he saw they had handkerchiefs tied over
their faces. Elemental was alarmed and
Shouted for help, but stopped when one Of
the men said: Throw up your hands or
I'll bore a hole through you at the same
time thrusting a revolver close to his face.
Blumenthal said he was SO frightened that
he could scarcely keep hfssarms raised.
While one man held the revolver pointed
At him, the other rapidly searched his
pockets and found six silver dollars. Blu
menthal said he saw another man looking
into the store from the outside. The out
slider was not masked.
Blumenthal's yell for help was heard by
his wife upstairs and she began screaming
for help, and started down the stairs as
fast as she could, but when she reached the
store the men were running toward the
door. AS they pulled the door shut after
them B~lumenthal ran to see which way they
went, but could only hear them running.
They ran around the corner of Thirty
fourth street and turned north.
He reported the robbery to the police,
but as the robbers were masked, and the
whole affair was over so quickly, he could
bnly describe the men In a general way.
A similar robbery was committed in
Omaha about a year ago, when three men
held up Charles Duke in his saloon at
Eighteenth and Leavenworth streets.
James Leo, George Parker and Thomas
Mhitmore we're arrested and charged with
che crime. Parker and Whitmore were
sent to Jail for thirty days apiece, while
Leo was convicted and sentenced to thir-
teen years in the penitentiary. An appeal
was taken to the supreme court and a new
trial was ordered. Leo is now in the county

He has been studying the new conditions

England and the United States are
destined to be more closely united and
that as soon as the English people wake up
to the ab urdity and general uselessness, as
has been shown In the Boer War, of king
and aristocracy, the trend will be immediate
in the direction of a union with the peep @
of tie UnIed States. However much one

AsburY M. e. Church.

Splendid interest was shown yester-
day in the special revival services held
at this church. At both morning and
evening services there were large
audiences, and a splendid spirit per-
vaded the meetings. In the morning
Rev. ID. M. Canright, baptist minis
ter Of Grand Rapids, preached a very
helpful and inspiring sermon to the
church upon the subject, "Sins Of
Omission. All felt that it was a God
sent message, which would result in
much good.
In the evening the pastor, Rev. Jas.
Chapman, preached from the text,
Matt. 1920 81, "What lack l yet?
Jesus saith unto him, IL thou wilt be
perfect, sell that thou hast, and give
to the poor, and thou shalt have treas
ure in Heaven and come follow me-"
The three points OF interest taken up
in the sermon were these: The first
necessity Of religion is to know as pre-
cisely and definitely as possible what
we lack. You wish to be good. What
is goodness? 1t is Goodness, and God
illness IL it is understood is simply an
abbreviated form of Godlikeness. To
be good is to be Godlike, and only so
far as we are Godlike are we good.
The second thought emphasized was
the way in which the Lord called the
attention Of the young nobleman to
the second table of the law, or "our
duty to man." Here the pastor re-
vealed that this was one OF the re-
quirements, in order to obtain eternal
life, and until it was accomplished,
the aching void within the heart could
never be filed. the third point pre-
sented was to bring forth fruit meet
for repentance, or to put ourselves
right with God. That is, make the
great remuneration, be willing to sur
render all, and sell all, but that you
might become an acceptable follower
Of Jesus Christ.
