TO FIX SALARIES
 OF CITY OFFICIALS
MONTHLY SALARIES WILL BE ANNOUNCED NOVEMBER 21-OF- TIGERS TO BE ELECTED FIRST WEDNESDAY IN DECEMBER.

The City Council, in accordance with a recently adopted resolution, will fix the salaries of the heads of the various de- partments of the municipal government on the evening of November 21. These salaries will be paid by the city through out the year 1907. It is stated in city hall circles that the present salaries will be changed very little.
 On the first council meeting night in December. officials for 1907 will be chosen. So far no incumbent has opposition. IL is understood, too, that each of the pres ent officials will ask for another term on the citys pay rolls.
 It is believed that the innovation of fixing the salaries before the election of the officials will result in no one apply ing for an increase in wages during the new fiscal year. This will be the first time the city has taken this course

Only last month Greek boy was killed al the same cross ing where Alr. Fitzpatrick met his death. and numerous others have been killed by this ill-fated train.

solemn Festival Celebrated with Inn
presslveness of Catholic Ritual.
The Feast of the Resurrection was OBJ
served with impressive solemnity at ST
Johns Catholic church Sunday morning
at 1890. The church was beautifully
adorned with palms and Easter lilies and
the auditorium was crowded to the doors
many OF the congregation standing. Solemn
high mass was observed with Rev Father
NJ. NJ. Bronsgeest as celebrant and Fathers
Leursman and Mlligan as deacon and sub
deacon. respectively. The vested altar boys
were under the direction of Prof. Hamill
The music was peculiarly appropriate to
the occasion and of impressive beauty. Miss
Gussie Lehman was the soprano soloist
assisted by a special choir The sermon
was preached by Rev. Father w. F. Rigge
who spoke from the text. And this day
shall be a memorial to you" Father Rigge
dwelt at some length upon the observance
OF Easter and the Feast Of the Resurrec-
ton by the rituals OF the Apostolic Catholic
church and the meaning of the solemn cere-
monies.
''Those who come merely to witness the
ceremonies and hear the music peculiar to
Easter lose the deep significance Of the
OCCASION" ne said. THE Feast of the
Resurrection is the chief OF all the church
observances, and all center upon It. Nine
feasts precede it and many others follow
1t. The resurrection OF our Lord is the
strength OF our filth. 1t is typical OF the
new birth Of nature from the dead past of
winter, and is always observed at the be-
ginning Of spring. Its connection with the
full moon is symbolical OF the light in
darkness, and it took the world 1900 years
to show what 1t could do. The new church

FAITH BORN OF oHRIsT's RISING
Inspires New Movement and Rests In
Divine savior.

Divine savior.
Beautiful Easter exercises were rendered
yesterday at the FIRST Baptist church.
Special music was furnished at both morn
ing and evening services, which were
largely attended. DR.. Conley's morning
theme was THE Resurrection Faith"
The music was under the direction of Mrs.
Andrews, organist.
Speaking OF faith in the resurrection OF
Jesus Christ and of all mankind, DIR. Con-
ley said:
THE resurrection was the beginning of a
new faith in the world That empty tomb
marked the place from which went forth
a new movement inspired by better faith
than anything that ever existed before.
The new faith was spiritual. The dis
ciples had been seeking an earthly king
dom and leader. but now they saw his
higher and spiritual character. They
realized that the first thing was to seek
victory over sin and fellowship with God.
The resurrection faith does not dwell in
liberalism and materialism, neither is 1t car
ried away with characterization and
mysticism; but sees body ana spirit earth
and heaven united.
1.-THE new faith was also marked by
breadth. The disciples had taken a narrow
view and had partaken of the exclusive
ness and bigotry of their times but the
resurrection brought them out into large
place and prepared them TO hear the Mas
ter say, go We therefore, and make dis
ciples of all the nations" He had con-
quered death for all the world and the
stupendous fact OF the resurrection could
not be for one little nation, but was for
all mankind. That empty tomb was the
cradle OF faith which grasps with clear
ness and power the brotherhood of man.
The resurrection faith believes with
great confidence in the divinity OF Jesus.
Thomas exclamation was the involuntary
cry OF every heart: MY Lord and My
God. The two doctrines go together. To
believe In the resurrection is to believe in
the divinity Of Christ. To reject either is
TO reject the other The world needs not
merely a living Christ, but risen Christ.
The resurrection faith is spiritual COM
prehensive and rests in divine Savior"

NEW SHOE FACTORY in SIGHT
Missouri Man Looks over Omaha as
a Prospective Place for
Location.

]. S. Cullen of jefferson City, No. is in
Omaha to look over the situation with a
view of establishing a shoe manufacturing
plant here II he thinks conditions are ia
vorable. Mr.. Cullen has been part owner
Of a shoe factory at Jefferson City, from
which he has withdrawn. His factory here,
If located. will make women's shoes ex-
clusively and will employ from 100 to $50
hands at the start.
Mr.. Cullen was induced to investigate
Omaha as a locating point largely by W.
L Killy, formerly superintendent OF the
Metropolitan Life Insurance company at
Omaha and lately engaged in organizing
forces for that company in Missouri. Mr..
Killy has arranged to move back to this
city and intends to make Omaha his per-
manent home. He is now enjoying a sixty
days leave of absence and may decide
not to return to the life insurance bust
ness
Mr.. Cullen, from what he knows of
Omaha, believes this city is a splendid
place for another shoe factory, and II he
can make satisfactory arrangements It Is

HOPE TIE wELL-sPRING OF LIFE
without II All Power and Ambition
Are Gone,

Are GONE.
Hope begotten by the resurrection of
Christ was the topic OF the Easter sermon
delivered by Rev. Daniel Jenkins at the
First Presbyterian church yesterday morn
ing. The pulpit was decorated with flowers
and the Easter spirit was manifested
throughout the musical service that pre-
coded the sermon. The musical numbers
were all on Easter themes DR.. Jenkins
said in part:
What a great and precious thing hope is
in human life. What an important thing
it Is In the success of enterprises. II you
rob a man of hope you rob Of him OF his
power, Of his incentive. There is nothing
more distinctive of the religion OF Jesus
Christ than that it is a religion almost
wholly Of hope. This stands out both in
the old and the new testament.
Faith is the one foundation Of all our
hope in the Christian religion. II faith
begins to waver and tremble, hope phan-
tom-lil1e, disappears Our hopes are bound
up inextricably with that statement on
that first Easter morning. He is not here.
why seek ye the living among the dead 2
Our hope lies in the fact that Christ suf-
fered death and opened up the door OF
heaven to mankind. The Christians hope
sees God breaking out OF His sphere Of
glory and reaching out His hand TO man.
intellectual symbols do not answer for
man in his reaching out for satisfactions.
We cannot fully satisfy the soul by drink
ing at the fountain OF wisdom OF the poets
and philosophers. But there comes a time
when we cry, show us the God The
dying Christ, cricihed, risen and assembled
to heaven, that is the Christ that has
begotten in our civilization all OF the vir-
tues that are necessary for the preserva-
ton Of society"
