WADE WELL KNOWN IN OMAHA
Man Convicted On Chicago of Com
pIicity. in Postomce Burglary
Was Justice of Peace Here.


The confession by Mrs. Lulu Moll which
was given to the Chicago police and which
resulted in the arrest and conviction OF
Attorney Richard Wade for completely in
the noted burglary of the Chicago post
office, October 20, 1901, came as a SIR
prise to residents Of this city, where Wade
once made his residence.
Richard Dean Arden Wade left here in
1891 for Chicago. He served one term as
Justice of the peace and had his office In
the building where the Karbach block now
stands. In Chicago, where he married, he
soon attained considerable renown as a
lawyer.
The last time Wade is known to have
visited his former friends in this city was
in 1896. Shortly after his return to the
Windy City he Instituted divorce proceed
ings against his wife. which resulted in a
most sensational trial. Wade was a the
osophist, a fact which played an import
ant part in his separation.
Charles Moll. who is now serving a sem
tence in a Michigan pe~nitentiary and whose
wife revealed the secret of the big robbery,
was also once a resid snt of Omaha.
TO the police" said Chief Donahue to
The Bee, "he was known as a bold GRIM
inal, and one OF the most dangerous type.
He was here for some time until the po-
lice began to learn his true character and
to act accordingly, keeping a watchful eye
upon his actions that he might be taken
should he make a suspicious move. II I
remember rightly he and his wife left the
city very suddenly and nothing more was
heard Of them until I read the dispatches
in the paper. He was always suspected Of
having been implicated in the burglary of
q Dubuque, Ia, store at which time $1,000
worth Of furs were stolen"

SOLVING A MURDER MYSTERY
Three Excited Boys and Two De-
tectives Get Busy sunday
Afternoon

A commendable and studious desire for
overtime investigation, a coal shed, three
small boys at the keenest period OF youth,
and an appalling discovery we're the threads
from which was woven a murder mystel y
for the police yesterday evening. 1t was
In this way. To the police station came
the three small boys, painting with excite
ment.
Its a murder!" they exclaimed.
What" exclaimed a half-dozen officers,
jumping from comfortable furniture.
1--WE found 1t in a shed-over on Cali
fornia street. It's-it's bones, and a hand
and some other things. They're kline of in
a gunny bag and all over lime. We just
ran down here quick"
Detectives Drummy and Mitchell were
sent out at once. The boys said the man
who lived in the house was a very bad
man, and would let no one come near the
shed, and had driven two people ava with
an ak. So the detectives were careful.
Mitchell went to the door Of the house ia
hold the attention of the man, while
Drummy lit a match and saw the thing in
the coal shed.
But 1t turned out that the mar Of the
house was quite a mild man. and shocked
and annoyed at the discovery. He said he
had no idea there was anything In the shed
and had driven the boys away only because
they lighted fires in the alley. Then he
called down Hans Hansen and w. w. Aep-
pei, who room in the house. They said
blushingly:
1--WE are medical students. These are our
things. We brought them home from the
college to do a little extra work"

CHURCH IN LOCAL POLITICS
Few jerks Says it Should Come First, but
il Does Not.
LAST CONSIDERATION OF POLITICIANS
Preacher Thinks Church People
should Unite TO Battle for That
which H. Pure In Civic Cow
ernment

"were to run for mayor OF Omaha or
any other office in this city tomorrow, /
should think Of the church and its people
last, for assuredly the church counts last
In this community, while 1t should be first
with this statement Rev. Edwin Hart
jerks stirred his hearers at the First Pres
byterisn church Sunday morning. Con-
tinuing, he said:
81 do not mean that we should stand
together as partisans, but rather that we
should mite as champions Of that which is
pure. In this direction the influence OF
the churches should be so strong in local
politics that no party would dare to adj
vance for office men who were not what
they should be, nor to advocate measures
or principles which we're not righteous"
THE Reserved Forces" was the topic on
which Rev. jerks preached, and he drew
from the existence OF such forces both a
hope and a regret. In forming their esti-
mates Of conditions people did not take
into suficient account the existence OF
these reserve forces, which are Of tremend-
Gus magnitude. 1t was they that named
our nation the most patriotic in the world
at the time Of our recent war, for the
volunteers cam by the thousands in pro-
portions entirely beyond expectations and

"And so IL is with the gospel" said the
pastor. Are there not many OF us today
who doubt that the kingdom Of God is 60
ing on triumphant on earth? Do we not,
like Elijah, discount both ourselves and
God7 But we forget the reserve forces.
We point to the small church membership
and forget the thousands of others Of whom
we never know who really belong to God,
who would come forward at the pinch, and
who do come forward silently, unidentified,
constantly in our midst, but unrecognized
and unknown.
yet is it right for these people not to
let themselves be known? Why should not
the championing Of religion be as open ar
that OF politics? l I'm glad indeed tina
there are these reserve forces, but l should
like to see them where they can be
counted"

Song o. Solomon as q %poetical and prophetic
expression Of the relations between Christ
and the church. and as such use the words
Of the text this morning. Our religion is
a religion Of fact and experience. II is
not a fable. not a fiction, not a guess; not
an uncertain element. II is a substantial,
established, eternal reality. You never find
the Lord Jesus suggesting a doubt. He
speaks with admonition based upon reality.
He yearns over mankind in a way to lead
us to know that what is so real to him
may become real to us-more real than the
bodies we see about us. More real than
the relations we sustain here are the spir-
itual realities hat come to US through the
experimental knowledge OF Jesus Christ.
MANY people think that religion is a
sort Of emergency to keep us out Of hell
a sort of umbrella in a storm, a lifeboat to
be used when wrecks threaten. Our re-
ligion is not a religion Of that sort at all.
1t is that sustaining reality which gives
human life its dignity and opportunity, its
character and experience. 1t is this con-
ception Of Christianity that our Lord
taught"

POOR MEMORY A RICH GRACE.
Preacher Speaks of Such n Thing as
Useful Forgetting.

In the course OF his sermon, preached at
the CASTELAR, Street Presbyterian church
last night, the pastor, Rev. Walter H. Rey-
nolds, said:
There is such a thing as useful forget
ting. In certain affairs a poor memory may
be a rich grace; a weak hold upon the
past, a strong grasp upon the future. Not
to speak in riddles we say plainly there is
such a thing. possible to the Christian. as
refusing to allow the memory of past ex-
periences to influence adversely the ac-
tivities of the present and future; Of guard
ing against the leakage Of spiritual force
which takes place when energy Is expended
in an act of memory which should be used
in doing today's duties. AS the inten7er
light Of the sun makes the candies flame,
when held against that glorious disc. ap-
pear as a blackness there, so the intenser
interest in doing the work which remains
to be done, should by contrast make our
memories, either Of depressing failures or
Of pride, putting successes, appear as a for
getting. May God help you, dear friend,
to receive this teaching. Accepting Jesus
as your saviour, begin tonight, no matter
what your past, to serve God with your
whole heart and mind and strength"

PASTOR BELLS FIRST SERMON
Preacher From Blair Takes Tn Work
in Omaha,

Rev. r. T. Bell, formerly Of Blair, Neb..
preached his first sermon as pastor of Bed
ford Place Presbyterian church yesterday
morning. He expressed pleasure over the
fact that circumstances were so shaped
that there was no break in the services due
to the removal of Rev. Walter N. Halsey
to Columbus. The theme for his sermon
was found in the first book OF Samuel, con-
tanning the line. Raise up, beggars, out Of
the dust"
In the personality and life Of Hannah,
mother Of Samuel, the regenerator of a de-
cayed and tottering Israel, the preacher
drew his lesson. In part he said:
"Irael for 300 years had been declining
and apparently was in the last stages Of
deoadence, but in an obscure mountain place
there lived a woman named Hannah, who
said q prayer, sang a song and trained a
son. The work she did stood for three
distant factors-religion. sacred music and
fducation-the three conservators of civil
nation. They produced a man who saved
his country and who was the genesis of
ruany institutions that remain on earth to
this day. In Samuel we find the man who
established the first Sunday school, the
irst school that today has become our pub
tic school system, and the founder Of or
~ university ~ NdS DeCduS6 Oh 0lm IlHL

There is no doubt that this man was
-reat because Of his mother, who, from
what account WI have OF her, was a frail
little woman with no exalted realization
OF the work she was doing. II Is entirely
cafe to say that she would not concern her.
self with suffrage or the ballot box were
she living now. Neither is there any ques-
tion that she could not make an address.
she was too shy. for, when she stood be-
fore the priest, Ell, and prayed. no words
came from her lips and so subdued was
she that the good man thought her drunk
But she said her prayer and relied in
God. and from hat very faith and divine
hope came the ~longings and the feelings
within, Religion. 1t has been proven, is
the forerunner of song. Where there is
nc religion there 10 no music, as we under
stand music. Lastly. Hannah spoke GER
tain words to her son that fashioned his
mind and caused him to reason and TO
think gravely and deeply. Great men are
produced by environment and training, de-
spite all the abuse this theory has been
subjected to. The inspiration of forgotten
individuals reaps a rich reward in the
achievements OF men in whose souls they
kindled flames"
