Many Checks stolen.

Several Of the prominent commission
houses at the yards have complained to
the police that within the last few days
several checks have been stolen from their
offices. 1t is the practice of these houses
to fill out checks for current bills on the
first of the month and to place them in a
handy place so that creditors can help
themselves to the checks made payable to
their order. One of these checks, drawn
by w. B. Van SAINT & Co., turned up at one
Of the local banks, but payment had been
stopped upon the same.

Are After Cattle RustIers.

Local commission men are deeply inter-
ested in the attempt which is being made
in Greeley county to unearth what is
claimed to be a gigantic organization Of
cattle ~rustlers and horse thieves. Ship
ments of stolen cattle have been repeatedly
made to the South Omaha yards, it is said.
When Mike Lamb, supposed to be the
leader of this organization, was arrested
at Greeley Center some time ago, the local
commission men did every thing within
their power to assist in the prosecution.
Lamb was held to the district court for
trial and his bond placed at $4,000. The
horse thief who was killed in the posse
roundup in that county a few days ago is
reported to be a brother Of Lamb. Many
of the commission houses have cattle IN
that locality and are actively aiding the
officials in Greeley county to secure a con-
viction of Lamb.

urday was attracted by a strong disagree

vestigation revealed the fact that a badly
decomposed human body rested upon some

was removed and taken to the Brewer I'M
dertaking establishment. 1t appears to
have been in the water for several months.
There was no clothing on it and absolutely

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Commercial Club Bsnews Agitation for
Railroad Viaduot,
PROPOSES TO HOLD MASS MEETING
VIII Seek 90 Have stock Yards People
Renew Proposition and carry
ID Before the Council
at once.

1t Is said that the Commercial club will
in the near future attempt TO held a mass
meeting to again agitate the Railroad ave-
nue. viaduct proposition. Since the comuu-
n~icatlon was addressed to the city council
some months ago advising il OF tae willing
ness OF the stock yards company to build ~
viaduct in exchange for the city v~acatiuE
certain streets and alleys and dedicating
the same to the company no move has been
made by either the city council or the stock
yards people to revive the subject.
At the time the communication Of the
Commercial club and the stock yards com
pany was brought up before the council a
resolution was unanimously adopted by that
body ordering the mayor to communicate
with the stock yards company. asking them
TO state more specifically what it demanded
in exchange for the building Of the viaduct.
Ex-Mayor A. r. Kelly stated last evening
that at this time he addressed a commu-
n~ication to the company. conforming with
the resolution of the council, but that dur
ing the time that he was in office no answer
was ever received to the same.
Members Of the Commercial club say that
they are unwilling to allow the matter to
rest in this shape and that they will do
everything within their power TO have the
matter again brought up before the council
and everything done to prevail upon the
stock yards people to renew their PROPOSE
ton to build the viaduct. They state that
the land sought by the stock yards is OF no
value to the city, since it lies in the form
of streets and alleys which are never used
on account Of the interference of the net
work Of tracks in that vicinity.
The date for the meeting Of the CONNER
cial club has not been learned, but when Il
IS held it is understood that invitations
Will be sent not only to members of the
club, but to all prominent citizens and tax
payers, asking their attendance. Secretary
Christy Of the Commercial club was out Of
the city yesterday, so that the exact date
Of the meeting could not be ascertalned.

"The law Is written in nature and in
mans physical constitution. as well as
in the Holy Book that one day in seven
shall be a rest day" said Rev. Hugh
G. McDermott, d. D.. in his sermon in
the Simpson Methodist Episcopal
church last night. His topic was "The
Lords Day" Continuing, he said:
The law is written in nature, aud in
mans physical constitution. as well as
in this Holy Book that one day in seven
shall be a rest day. Nations OF high an
tiduity, such as Assyrians Rabyonians
and Egyptians. were acquainted with the
hehdomnal division OF time. and this fact
must have had its origin in n primitive
cay of rest which God had appointed.
lie made the Sabbath q perpetual moral
obligation and commands all men every
where to remember 1t and Keep ii holy.
Under the Christian dispensation this
holy day is the Lords day. In tho Gos-
pei the Lords day Is called the first of
the week hut il is reasonable to sup
pose that by the time st. John wrote
tho Revelation. some sixty years after
the cr,lcifiXion the phrase "the Lords
day" had hcComc the common dosigna-
tion of tho first day of the week through
uit tho churches.
That was the time of Roman rule. and
the Romans imposed on all the peoples
they conquered. not only their laws. but
also their mode Of reckoning time. The
day of the Sun was the first day of the
Roman week. While. therefore, the day
was called the Lords day in the churches.
IT was popularity known rs Sunday
among tho people. ana was 50 known in
tho church as quickly as the Gentle Gle
mont began to prevail there. The Lords
day is the memorial day of tho gospel
1,scbi,is. The historian says. "Christ
transferred the feast of tho Sabbath to
the morning light and gave as the SYM
hol of tru" rest. tho day in which tho
Saviour obtained victory over death on
this day We assemble after an interval
of six days and celebrate tho holy spir
itual Sabbath" i careful study OF the
gospels in relation 10 the days of the
week leads to the conviction that no 9TH
"r can be made the Christians sacred
day. There is nothing in the New Tesla
ment history of Monday Tuesday or
Wednesday to make them sacred or
Thursday Judas betrayed the Christ. We
