eral candidates proposed at last nights

Mr.. Moot's Resignation.
Peculiar interest attaches to the fin
ing of Mr.. Moot's place because of the
complaints made against that pastor
last fail. 1t was alleged that he did not
give proper attention to his work and
acted without ministerial dignity. When
Mr.. Moot appeared before the church
council to answer the complaints made
against him the result of the hearing
was not satisfactory and his resignation
followed.
Three Candidates Considered.
Special care will be taken by the con,
gregatiOn in the selection Of Mr.. Moot s
successor. as the church has net profit
ed by the trouble which finally resulted
in the resignation of the former pastor.
Three strong candidates were consid-
cred last night. The Rev. Mr. De Voc,
Of Harrisburg, Pa, received the larges>
number of votes. but failed TO obtain tn,
necessary twO-thirds majority. The 9TH
er prominent candidates were the Rev.
Mr.. Huddle, of Philadelphia, and the
ESv. MIR. Dale Mullen.
In the course of the discussion one OF
the church members emphatcally
charged that there was electioneering.
Dissension over the selection OF a p1s-
tor was prevented, however, by a post
ponement OF this election.

During the first period the struggling
seminary had its existence in the study Of
the pastor of the First Presbyterian church
At first there was but one class, then a
second was added and finally the senior
class. The first professors were pastors
OF churches who taught without compensa-
ton in addition to their pastoral duties.
This was the only way in which the semi
nary could nave been started. Dr. w. W.
Harsba, a pastor OF Tecumseh, was the
first president, and came here weekly to
teach. returning to his church on Sundays.
Or. stephen Phelps Of the Council Bluffs
church was another professor. DR., NJ. b.,
Lowrie, now president of the seminary, was
one OF the first five instructors, coming
here once a month from the Colorado church
between Sundays for over two years. In
1898 h gave up his pastorate and came
here 10 give his entire time TO the semi
nary. He has now been serving for ten
years continuously, DR.. John Gordon pas
tor Of Westminster church. and Charles G.
Sterling of the Lowe Avenue congregation,
were the local men on the original stan.

the south and north. As Lathrop street
was not cut through, this made an undi
vided two city blocks, and an excellent
location for the seminary buildings. Largely
through the energy and skill of Mr.. Wharf
ton this property, worth easily $50, geo, was
secured for the institution at the low figure
of 500, 600. This amount was about half
contributed by Omaha citizens, a consider
able part of this being given in Kountze
place.
The great need now said President
Lowrie, lis for endowment. We have a
faculty we'll qualified for their departments
and a student can get as thorough, COM
plete and practical an education here as in
any Of the seminaries Of the church. Our
graduates are eagerly sought for churches
and We cannot supply the demand. In the
past we have had to carry a double load
getting money for building and also for the
living expenses and endowment OF the in
stitution. II will not be so hard in the
future. We have already made a start.

In 1898 DR.. A. G. Wilson of the Tekamah
church Joined the staff and the place Of
meeting was changed from the First to the
basement of the Second Presbyterian church,
where it continued for two years. 1t was
during this time that the third class was
added.
These quarters being too cramped for
the growing seminary, the use of the build
ing at Ninth and Farnam streets, now tho
Andrew hotel, was given by President S. II.
H.. Clark of the Union Pacific. During tho
spring Of 1895 the old Cozzens hotel at Ninth
and Harvey streets was purchased for the
use of the seminary by eastern friends with
out cost to the school. In 1899 Thomas Nc
Dougal Of Cincinnati died and left the
seminary his share in the building, and the
others interested have since given their
holdings to the institution.
in the fall Of 1900, through the good
offices OF j. c.. Wharton, an option was
secured on a siX-acre piece of ground in

a financial point or view IN re-
ligious circles during the year 1902, marks
a long step in advance for the Presoy'
terians in this vicinity, and, in fact, for
the members of that denomination through
out the entire transmissouri country, In
fifty years the church has not founded a
new theological seminary, excepting the
omaha school. A circle drawn about Pitts
burg with a radius Of five hundred miles,
would cover all the eastern institutions OF
learning conducted by the denomination
Then there is the Mccormack seminary IN
Chicago, 500 miles to the east OF u.s. the
Huntsville college and the seminary for the
Pacific slope, located at San Francisco.
Fifty years ago these schools were ample,
but now, with the development OF the great
northwest and OF the states which imme-
diately surround Nebraska, a great need
has arisen for a school, which the older in
stitutions are too distant to supply II

Legend of the Cowslip.

The goddess Bertha. or Friga, Of
the northern mythology on one occa-
sion allured child to follow her to
a doorway in a rocky hill by a bunch
of cowslips. When the key flower
touched it. 1t opened. and the child
passed with its supernatural guide
from room to room of the enchanted
castle rock. filed with vases contain
ing great stores Of gold and jewels,
and covered over with cOwsllps. The
child was allowed to help itself from
the gold and jewels. but in coming
away it had to replace the cOwslip
coverings. otherwise a black dog would
rush out and worry her. Mythologists
are accustomed to interpret TINS legend
as persOnificatiOn of the return Of
spring each year; and certainly no fair
er key than the golden cowslip could
be used by nature to unlock the king
dom Of heaven or earth and scatter her
floral Jewels over the earth.-Teach-

One of Natures Jokes.

A species Of Australian fern which
grows In the shape of the horn and
antlers Of deer and stag has been aptly
described as lone of natures jokes"
The cause Of this extraordinary repro
duction Of feature Of animal life has
not been accounted for. 1t is atogeth-
er battling to behold the thin green
horns curving out Of the tree trunk as
realistically as If they were growing
from the head Of a stag, or to see the
branching and magnificent antlers of a
moose initiated even to the finest de-
tail. This striking eccentricity Is not
by any means the only remarkable fea-
ture Of fern growth. The wonderful
manner in which these plants are prop
agated has challenged the admiration
and awe Of students. Under a mag
nifying glass hundreds Of the minute
spores which perform the function of
seeds look like only the smallest atom,
and SO imperceptibly are they scat
tered from fern to fern that Shakes
