Committees at work Securing sub
scriptiOns TO Fund Report
Gratifying Success.

The committees working to raise the
S15,0 900 necessary to insure the location OF
the tannery and glove factory at Omaha
are meeting with gratifying success. The
principal work last week was lone by
the committed appointed to take the matter
up with the real estate owners. The exact
amount secured is not known at this time,
as SOM subscriptions we're made contin~
gent and others we're waived for the time
being.
Another committee has taken the ques-
tion up with the capitalists and the cor
porations. Some Of the men who are ex-
pected to contribute literally are out OF
the city and have been communicated with
by telegraph. Answers are expected early
this week, but the exact amount they will
subscribe cannot be known.
The committee appointed to visit the
wholesale houses has not begun to work.
This morning It will organize and spend the
day in the jobbing district.
While being unable to announce exact
results, or to even make a close estimate
upon the work done at this time, the chair
men Of the various committees profess to
believe that the sum required will be raised
by the end Of the week.

TREASURES OF THE SPIRIT

W~eaIth-Other Sermons
from Omaha Pulpits.

THE Treasures OF Spirit, a Protest
Against the Gospel Of the Dollar was the
theme on which Rev. Clyde Clay Cissell
preached Sunday morning at the Hanscom
Park Methodist church. He said in part:
I'm this age. when everything is going
at white heat, there is no need to goad men
to seek wealth. Every brick piled up
toward heaven, every wire overhead and
under sea, every ship homeward or out
ward bound, is as a tongue preaching OF
the gospel of the dollar and the madness of
money-getting. Humanity today Is putting
every ounce Of energy into the tasks of
life; we are living now at a pace that will
drive a constantly increasing Number Of
men to insanity and suicide.
Gods chosen men, in every age and in
every civilization, have been the heroes
who placed the emphasis on the treasures
OF the spirit rather than on the treasures
Of the pocketbook. To young men going
into the work Of life 1 would not give the
message that he is disgraced who dies
poor. l would not have him feel that it is
his chief business to get rich. God does
not command men to be rich, but he does
command them to be righteous. Let us
have a generation Of young fellows whose
shoulders shall be aching to bear burdens;
let us have a generation who shall make IL
their chief business to love God and keep
His commandments, and we shall help the
world further on in the march heavenward
than 1t has been helped in the unfolding
OF all the centuries. Money cannot buy
happiness; 1t cannot hold a mortgage on inn
mortality; it will not open the gates OF
heaven"

RETAILERS FLOCK TO CITY
Early Excursion Brings Many Buyers
Into the Omaha Wholesale
Market.

The first trade excursion Of the Omaha
jobbers closed Saturday evening and was
more of a success than was expected by
its promoters, more people arriving and
more goods being purchased than In any
other season during the same length of
time.
The feature Of the weeks business was
the number Of new houses which secured
their first stocks from the Wholesale houses
of this city. The new houses are not con-
fined to any one line and while the ma
jority Of the visitors represent the mill
linery and dry goods lines Of their local
tiles, yet one grocery house sold four
stocks which will be opened in new stores
in lows and Nebraska. These new stocks
are of a character better than the new
stocks purchased a few years ago and there
is little Of experiment in the business.
Omaha is to have two trade excursions
this spring and the second will be larger
than the first, for the reason that the sea-
son will be further advanced and fall stocks
will be finally disposed Of, leaving the re-
tail dealer to know exactly what he may
expect In the way OF spring trade. Many
of the visitors who came to the city last
week did SO more to inspect goods and
make arrangements for orders later, while
many who came with this idea placed their
orders before leaving.
This early excursion was designed prln-
cipally for the millinery houses, as Easter
coming so early this season these merchants
were compelled to place orders from one
to two weeks earlier than usual.
The second excursion will begin March
1. lasting for ten days. During that time
there will be several meetings Of dealers
in various lines Of trade In this city, the
most important Of which is the school oil
embalming which will be undertaken by the
Omaha Casket company. At that time the
State Board OF Embalmers will be in SEES
sion for the purpose of examining appli-
cants for licenses. Over 100 embalmeri
in the territory tributary to Omaha hav
signihed their intention Of being present
and the meeting will last for several days
During the last week the visitors have
come from the states of Nebraska, Iowa
South Dakota. Missouri and Colorado, the
number coming from Iowa and those from
Nebraska being about equal. Next weel
the visitors from Wyoming. South Da.
kota inc Colorado will increase in mum.
bers and the main part OF the Nebrasks
trade will com In.

SPIRIT DESERVES THE PRAISE

Rev. Anderson Analyses the Source of
Mems Endowment.
THE real author Of the bible is the Spirit
Of God-that Spirit which is the love OF God
and the love Of Christ coming down to
dwell, work and suffer on earth" said Rev.
Thomas Anderson in his morning sermon
at Calvary Baptist church yesterday. The
theme was the love of the Spirit; and he
spoke in part as follows:
w may Justly regard love as the crown
ing attribute of the third person In the
mysterious trinity Of the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost. You will recall hat the only
definitions of a deity given us in the bible
are God is a Spirit and God is Love- So
the Spirit is the one great reservoir into
which the love Of Heaven is poured, in
which 1t is stored and from which It flows
In all it's benefcent streams. The bible
from Genesis to Revelation is the gift of
the Spirit to the world and 1t is to the
Spirit that we owe the books preservation
through all these centuries. And all the
glorious men of all times are the result Of
and the gifts Of the Spirit.
This Spirit is the whole love Of Heaven
let loose and working in the world, and in
your heart and in mine. All of us need to
have the veil Of our flesh rent that this
love may the more easily flow into US and
from us. We cannot love by trying, but let
the Spirit come into our hearts and we will
love without trying"

RELATION OF FOoD TO LIFE
Subject of Rev. e. H.. jerks at First
Presbyterian Church.

THE Relation OF Food to Life" was the
subject OF Rev. Edwin Hart jerks morn
ing sermon at the First Presbyterian
church. The text was from Matthew 4-iv.
Man is not fed by bread alone"
II was In the once Of a business man
not long ago." said the pastor, who told
me that he derived a real pleasure from
sitting there at his desk and graphing with
the commercial problems as they presented
themselves 10 him in the course Of busi-
ness. II was a pleasure, he said, as keen
as he would experience at he opera or in
a gallery Of the old masters. 1t was his
meat and his drink; he had found one of
the deepest springs OF philosophy. There
isn't much Joy that we get out Of this life
unless we get it in that a We must
learn TO get our meat out Of our daily
work.
THE text doesn't say we shouldn't get
out and fight for our daily bread. II says
don't tramme yourself with these smaller
things OF life. I have meat that ye know
not Of said Jesus Christ. He referred to
the food for the soul, which may be had by
going to the fountain OF Gods grace and
tapping It,"

INDICTMENTS MAY HOLD GOOD
Decision of Minnesota supreme Court
in slot Machine Gambling
Case.

When the last grand jury returned indict-
ments against e number Of parties, charg-
ing them with maintaining gambling devices,
the devices in question being slot ma
chimes, there was some discussion as to
whether prosecution could be maintained
under the Nebraska act upon which the
Indictments we're necessarily based. The
matter was discussed on both sides con-
siderably and Il was understood in some
quarters that the prosecuting attorney was
disposed to believe that such prosecution
could not be maintained.
A case in point with the Omaha indict-
ments is that Of the State Of Minnesota
against Briggs, reported in volume 81 Of
the Northwestern Reporter, at page sS5.
in which the opinion Of the court is pre-
sented by Start, chief Justice. and the
syllabus. in the printed report, was written
by the court. The syllabus says:
The defendant wal convicted upon two
separate indictments of the crime of keep
ing a gambling device, and appealed from
the judgments. Heidi:
commit a crime, but procures II to be
committed. the Indictment may by virtue
charge him Directly 81 with iHii' ips Commission
as II he personally committed II, or he
may be directly charged as a principal
law would make him an accessory before
the fact.
3. They sufficiently describe the gambling
device by alleging that IL is a nickel-in-
the-lot machine, a more particular de-
scription Of which is to the grand jury
unknown.
The section Of the Minnesota statute upon
which the indictment was based is quoted
In the opinion Of the chief justice to this
effect: "Whosoever keeps any gambling
device whatever, designed to be used in
gambling, shall be punished" etc. 1t men,
ions In places some of the devices, but the
indictment was under the general terms.
In the third paragraph Of the opinion 1t is
said.
The last objection made to the indict-
ment is that the alleged gambling device
is not sufficiently described, because II
lar to cards or gaming tables. The statute
does not attempt to enumerate all of the
devices s Which may on be 81 designeG for use us,
impossible, to do SO; for the ingenuity OF
sharpers, who are too lazy or too de-
occupation, is producing, faster than the
legislature can anticipate and enumerate
them. neW schemes and devices to be used
fools who believe that they can get some
thing for nothing by beating a %scoundrel
at his own game.
The Nebraska statute upon which the
indictments in Omaha are based is even
more specific than the Minnesota statute
quoted by the court, 1t saying. in it's gen
eral provision, paragraph S67s, compiled
statutes, 1901:
Any person who shall set up or keep
. . any kind Of gambling table OF
gambling device or gaming machine of any
kind or description, under any
ton or name whatsoever, adapted, devised
and designed for the purpose of playing
any game of chance for money or prop
erty, shall, upon conviction, be
punished, etc.

TINDALL DEFENDS MIRACLE
Contends that They Are Indispen,
sable to Christian Religion.


sable to Christian Religion.
In his sermon on THE Miracles of the
Bible" at Trinity Methodist church last
night, Rev. d. X. Tindall took his text
from Acts 4:16, and said: b
"a miracle is not the destruction of ma
tural law nor its suspension, but a direct
act Of God above all and contrary to
natural law for the purpose Of giving au-
thority to His messengers. The bible
stands or falls with miracles. Creation.
prophecy, incarnation, resurrection and rev.
citation are all miracles. and when they
are e%xpunged from the bible we have moth
ing left. To reject miracles is to reject
Christ, the greatest OF all miracles. The
bible miracles we're not lone in a corner
but we're witnessed by many. This is
notably true of the resurrection Of Lazarus
and Christ and the parting of the Red sea
which was witnessed by millions. Not only
the friends, but the enemies of Christian
ity believed in these miracles. as when
the lame man at the temple was healed
through Peter and Joh
mo revelation, no Christian religioni No
miracles, no revelationl After all the mir
acles Of the bible there is no excuse for
unbelief. To live and die In unbelief is
to be damned forever. To accept Christ
on such reasonable terms is to live for
| ever"

Afnusef
''The Cowboy and the Lady,

This Clyde Fitch play, written for and
originally produced by Nat Goodwin and
Maxine Elliott, served to introduce to
Omaha theater-goers a new star in the
person OF s. Miller Kent, who has for some
time been connected with the Frohman
companies and who last appeared In this
city as one of the star cast which pro-
duced "Aristocracy" here in 1892. Mr..
Kent's vehicle is one that has been criti-
cised pretty severely. both in this country
and abroad, yet it seemed to immensely
please both the matinee and night audi
ences at the Boyd Sunday. The theater
was filled on both occasions and the en-
thusiasm displayed by the large audiences
must have been gratifying, indeed, to both
Mr.. Kent and his company. The atmo-
sphere of the play is that Of one Of the
smaller Colorado towns where there is a
scarcity Of women and a plenitude Of bad
liquor and cowboys ready to shoot, where
wide-rimmed hats and flannel shirts are
the stylish wearing apparel. The domi-
nant theme OF the whole play is love and it
is the cause Of the joys and woes of each Of
the dozen or more characters that figure
in the play. There is a realistic and re-
markably well-drawn courtroom scere in
the last act, which in its general concep-
ton is not unlike the church scene In
The Moth and the Flame There are a
number Of other well wrought scenes
throughout the play, which as a whole is
we'll worth spending an evening to see, Mr..
Kent's support is we'll in keeping wi h the
merits Of the play and production, the lat
ter being especially p~raiseworthy. Miss
Nora o'Brien, who essays the role of Mrs.
Weston that originated by Maxine Elliott
the original production, gives the part in
depreciation that entities her to special
praise. Besides being a capable and
finished actress, Miss o'Brien is a hand
some woman Of the Gibson girl type. The
engagement closes with tonight's perform
ance.
