THOUGH Japan had been shut off from the world,

as has been said by a distinguished Japanese, "a man on

Japanese progress has really been a plant of slow
growth. 1t has been tended and nourished al no small

crossed gazing into the sky, so they might
learn reverence for the things that are
above; OF others intently looking downward
that they might learn reverence for the
things that are beneath, and of others con
templating those things which meet their
eyes upon the level that they might have
reverence for those things which surround
them. The speaker drew a different moral
from the tale than that portrayed by the
German author saying that all things are
worthy Of reverence-or attention-in the
proper spirit.
He found the genesis Of religion in the
reverence OF things that are above man in
the physical sense, when man first wor-
shipped nature and the higher evidences Of
natural law, such as the sun and stars.
Reverence for things beneath comes with
later development and fuller investigation
while reverence for things which are
around us, I'm tho physical sense, the COM
monplace comes last Of all. with the fuller
realization OF the meaning of these things.
Taking the lesson in the spiritual sense
he pointed out the necessity for the we'll
dep eloped mind to reverence all things In
their proper sense; of preserving a normal
health attitude upon all subjects and feel
ing a human, kindly interest in ones sur
roundlngs and in the people, both those in
high places and those in the lower walks OF
life; Of the necessity OF this attitude for the
highest development OF the individual
faculties and the growth OF that which is
best in humanity. This was the thought
which he said, he desired to leave in the
minds of the congregation during the sum-
mer months.

OMAHA VIEW is IMPATIENT
Tired of waiting for street Cars, Gas
and Public Improve
ments.

The regular meeting Of the Omaha View
Improvement club was held last evening
at the Omaha View school house. The
paramount issue was inducing the street
car company to keep It's promise to extend |
the Thirty-third street car line from Par
ker to Maple street and the gathering al
most reached the point OF being an indig-
nation meeting
One speaker said that the Omaha View
Improvement club was largely responsible
for turning down the big hve combine in
the old council and that the new members
OF that body must do something for the
northwest part OF town In the way Of
street car extension, sidewalk improve
ments and grading Of some of the hills in
this part OF town. IT'S time we had the
obnoxious sidewalk ordinance repealed so
that we can have new wooden walks laid.
but at present nothing but repair work
can be done unless the street is graded
and as very few streets out here have been
graded no relief seems in sight until a
new ordinance is passed allowing new
wooden walks to be put down"
Other members told OF alleged broken
pledges by the old council and car COM
pany, who. It was said, had positively
stated II these residents would submit to
a tax for cutting through Thirty-third
street from Burt to Cunning they would
surely run the car clear out to Maple

The coroner's Jury impaneled for the
inquest over the body OF Elmer Scott of
Sioux City yesterday afternoon found that
he came 10 his death because OF a gunshot
wound inflicted by Oficer Goodrich while
In the discharge of his duty The findings
of, the jury neither blamed nor exonerated
the officer and the question of prosecuting
him rests with County Attorney English.
The evidence as brought out at the inquest
was not deemed entirely sufficient for the
county attorney to take action in the case
and he will further examine these wit
nesses and new ones before hliug any COM
plant. 1t is probable he will file charges
against Oflcer Goodrich today either for
murder i'm the second degree or for man
slaughter.
Three eye witnesses OF the tragedy were
examined yesterday afternoon and they
agreed on several points, namely, that the
first two shots were nred so that they
could not have hit him and were probably
meant only to intimidate the fleeing
prisoner; that the prisoner was widening
the distance between himself and his pur-
suer and that he was called upon to halt
by the officer before he shot the first time.
There seemed to be some difference Of
opinion as 90 whether Oficer Goodrich
stumbled when he fired the third shot. and

The Back Yara Renutffu1.

As a general proposition, there is no yard that cannot be improved; no fence, no porch, no, house, front or rear, that cannot be beautifed, for four or five months of the year at least, by the ex- ercise of just little energy and little taste, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. All that Nature requires is a beginning and small measure of attention. She will do the rest. And she is so gener- ous in her gifts that she ought to be encouraged. Examples demonstrating how block, neighborhood or an en- tire district may be changed for the better with plants, vines, shrubbery and grass plots are not wanting, but the strange thing is that when so much may be accomplished at so small an ex- penditure of money and labor so few have taken advantage of their oppor- tunfties. Some progress in the direc- ton in question has been made in the last few years, but neither the possibil- fty nor the desira abiHty of beautifying the back yards has as yet been recog- nized by the people most deeply con cerned in the movement

When the enemy neared the summit the cry 'Forward!' was sounded, and the blue line rushed out with the bare bayonets The Twenty second Michigan regi- ment of Steedman's line broke through the Confederate ranks in their eager ness and were swallowed up and borne along down the ridge as the Cenfeder- ates reeied back for the last time.
 The battle of Chickamauga was end ed, and nearly 3O,000 men lay on the field killed or wounded. It was not as sanguinary as Gettysburg, but it was the bloodiest battle in the west. At dark Thomas abandoned the line he had defended with masteriy skill and determination the best part of two days and rallied his army in the pass at Rossville. His fight had saved Bose crans' army from total disaster and kept Bragg from marching back to Chickamauga, the object of his attack
 Civil war brings strange enemies into contact. Bragg lost the game he was fighting for that day through the pluck of his old comrafle in the Mexican war. It was Bragg's battery that old Rough and Ready" appealed to at Buena Wis ta in the famous phrase, "A leetle more grape" and Lieutenant Thomas filled the order to the joy of General Taylor. The captain and his lieutenant were the best of friends, and in the war days Bragg always called Thomas, 'tOld Tom" Chickamauga was the second field on which the whilom lieutenant had defeated the well laid plans of his former captain. He held the centRr at Stone River the year before Chicka mauga and stood off Bragg's desperate attacks after the right wing of the Fed eral army had been swept from the field
 Chickamauga was a strange battle. A diagram of the field as it was when Steedman planted his line on the crest of Horseshoe ridge shows 8 perfect horseshoe of the circular pattern. At the beginning Thomas had a short line, corresponding to the toe of the shoe. It was defended by barrieades, and the Confederates overfapped the works on
