only wonder He Thinks IL FhHt
Omaha Escaped.
'orhIs awful earthquake is a visitation OF
God on a wicked city. The only wonder
is that only the cities on the coast have
been included and the wrath did not strike
Omaha The only reason is that coos
patieuce has not entirely worn out
This declaration was made yesterday
morning at KountEe Memorial church py
Rev. J. z Hummon in his sermon on the
san Francisco calamity. He took his text
from Revelation xi:1a, And the same hour
was there a great earthquake, and the
tenth part Of the city fell and in the earth
quake were slain Of men 1000 and the
remnant were affrighted and gave glory
TO the God OF heaven
''This disaster" he said, has brought
destruction or partial destruction to many
cities on the coast I doubt not but this
horrible catastrophe has been sent OF God
FOR a purpose II is not the first time
God has brought upon this world visitations
of this character to attract men to better
thoughts Some people are drawn to God
through love Others Il seems must be at
tracted by some phenomenal occurrence
some catastrophe.
TT is terrible. no one can deny that.
So was the flood when all men were de-
ssroyed but Noah and his wife. their three
SONS and their wives So was the raining
down of burning ashes upon Sodom. SO
was the inundating Of Holland, the burning
OF Chicago, the Johnstown and Galveston
floods God hates sin and sooner or later
He will punish It, He is warning people to-
day to fee from the wrath to come. He
does not say when 1t will come or how II
will come but It will come sooner or later
Tuesday evening the people of San Fran
cisco were wasting their time In saietS
and sin. It is the universal testimony
that San Francisco Is the worst city or
the continent. Sin and disregard OF law
are rampant. 1t has a reputation for inf
deity and atheism. The people had nc
thought Of God. But God will let then
know He rules the universe Men have
been brought to q standstill and are think
ing more Of God today than they were last
Sunday. We all needed this. 1t reminds vi
that God Is still at the helm"

GODS MESSAGE IN THE CALAMITY
San Francisco Disaster "a Call to
EvanEeIi1atiOn of world.

San Francisco Disaster "a Call to
EvanEeIizatiOn of world.
Preaching on the topic, God a Man of
War" Rev. E. r. Curry referred at some
length to the San Francisco disaster in
his sermon at Calvary Baptist church last
night In part he said:
1T Is a question how much of God we
can see in events as they happen. The
calamity that befell San Francisco might
be interpreted as an evidence of God s
worth II is said by some San Francisco
is the wickedest of cities. but 1 have won
dered II It is any worse than some cities
1 have been in. You might be able to find
even in our own city spots where wicked
ness and vice we're just as fragrant as
they are in San Francisco and you might
find in San Francisco men just as noble
and good as there are anywhere on earth.
II is not entirely for US to say just what
the reason was. OF course the scientists
tell us superhcially. but still you ask why
has God so formed the world that this thing
could happen
THE earthquake may have come TO this
city as a lesson, but we cannot dogmatize
upon that. We should not draw differences
because we have not all the facts. They
are in the mind of God. But we can draw
certain lessons from the catastrophe. We
can realize how insignificant man is beside
God and how unstable are the things Of
this world. But the greatest lesson for
us is that in this world God will speak
and God will be heard by the sons Of men.
When God speaks by events and disasters
then men begin to think. to inquire and
sometimes to seek Him.
This great calamity may have been in
tended to prepare the world for the cam
paign of evangelization that Is being con-
Quoted by those eminent divines, Torrey
and Alexander"

Vaudeville at the CreiEhtOn-Orpheum
The bill at the Creighton orpheum this
week makes good in all particulars. The
leading feature, probably, Is the one-act
comedy put on by Mr.. Mccarthy and Miss
Wolcott, The Race Tout's Dream" This
has been improved in many ways since seen
here before and is now one of the real
successes Of vaudeville. Mr.. Mccarthy is
good comedian and Miss wolcott is a
splendid second for him. The novelty of
the bill is Sanders Circus" in which
dogs, made up to represent horses and
other animals do a variety Of things. re-
producing features OF a circus performance
very naturally. Caprice. Lynn and Fay are
three girls who sing a little and dance a
good deal, and do IL all well, so we'll that
they quickly establish themselves with the
local public. Mary X. Hill sings some good
parodies and tells a few good jokes, and
generally pleases. Stanley and Wilson pre-
sent novelty in the musical line that is
worth listening to. Dan Sherman and
Mabel DeForest do a buriesque on a naval
battle, THE Fall of Poor Arthur" that is
very laughsble. Clifford and Burke, al
ways popular in Omaha, have added some
new dances to their collections The pictures
are good.

Gin the Palace of the King" at the
BurwOOd.
This pretty and interesting play is given
with much elaboration and with excellent
effect this week and comes OPPORTUNITY by
way Of pleasing variety the costumes and
usages of the sixteenth century having
their own charm after a run of pieces set
in modernity. Five impressive ard entirely
different stage settings are used. and be-
sides the full strength of the stock COM
pany the services OF a large number OF
other persons are enlisted.
The play was made out of F.. Marion
Crawford's novel for the use OF Viola Al
len and the character of Dolores is the
central figure. Miss Lang graces the part
exceedingly well, throwing a wealth OF
youth and spirits into the lighter passages
and intense passion in the stronger scenes.

fact. his characterization Is one OF the best
things he has done here. Another role call
ing for extraordinary effort is that Of
Adonis, the court fool, and in Il Mr.. Simp-

Have Been Down Tight
All over Town,

The principal topic in South Omaha is
still the fate of San Francisco and meas
ures for relief have been going on and con-
tinued in the majority of the churches in
the city yesterday In most OF them spe-
cial sermons were delivered by the pastors,
taking all views OF the subject. from mere
pity and commiseration to the judgment
of God. After these sermons the people
were asked to contribute what they felt
able to the relief fund and the result was
hattering. The First Methodist church
and Sunday school gave S25.25; the First
Presbyterian church at the morning serv-
ice gave $50 and more will be reported by
the trustees this morning, for a munger
OF persons handed them money at the
evening service; St. Martins Episcopal
church gave $50 and st. Agnes Catholic
church gave $50. The total is therefore
close to 500. which will be turned over to
the citizens committee this morning There
were several of the churches which took
collections, which gave no report OF the
same last night.
Two of the committees OF solicitors for
relief have not reported to the treasurer
as yet DR.. f. NJ Sisson and F. j. Fret
tag, however. sent in n statement to the
Bee last night which showed they had
collected 1910 Saturday morning. The
work will likely be continued during the
early part of the week. John Flynn and
his associate member OF the committee
have not completed their part OF the work
far enough TO make a report.
The total amount collected as estimated
from the actual figures and the amount
in immediate prospect will be 800 easily.
When the committees have done their
work the total will press the 5000 mark.
Nothing has touched the hearts of the
people as this calamity in the west. The
donations in South Omaha have poured in

Lid on Tight.

There was only one drunken man arrested
in South Omaha yesterday. His name was
Morrison and he got his liquor outside of
the city limits, where there was one sa-
loon which is said to have done a thriving
business. In the city of South Omaha,
however, the lid was tighter than ever
before. The police we're unable to detect
a place which was transgressng the law
by having open doors. Several of the sa-
loon cases in which the keepers have been
detected will be tried during the coming
week. The Board Of Fire and Police Com
missloners is anxious that all these cases
be disposed of before It is required to pass
on the question of granting the licenses.
In fact, it is well understood that the
board will not grant licenses to any party
who is under trial before the court. The
first meeting Of the board for the consid-
GRAFTON Of the liquor licenses will be
Wednesday of this week.
The board Is very anxious that the city
council should accept the new fire hall at
this session that 1t can be occupied
by the fire department. The owners of the
present hail, which is leased by the city,
are asking for their building that II may
be removed and space cleared for a new
brick structure.

Trade in wheat was light all day, there

pressing effect on prices. More aninla-

cause of the stronger tone. Total ar

fact Is. lambs have not commenced TO run
The market as n whole has been in very

ally quoted as steady, but on WednesdsY y
there was a sharp advance In prices, tnat

close of the week most statesmen are quot
ing the market just about where IL was
at the oeginning II is very evident. how
taken place they have been on the side OF
better prices and IL is possible to mention
Individual sales showing higher prices
The lamb market has been in very Pc
culiar condition. Lambs have been very
high and there has been feeling on the
part o. everyone that prices were in fact
that receipts would become liberal and that
prices would decline rapidly, but the ex-
pected has not happened. On the contrary.
receipts OF lambs at all points have con-
tinued light and the prevailing high prices
have generally been well maintained. AS
matter OF fact, whenever receipts showed
up little large weakness would develop,
but taking the week a whole II is
hardly possible TO quote any material
change. Supplies at eastern markets con-
tinue light. with prices high, and so long
as that is the case there Is not much OPP
portunty for the markets at the river to
develop any prolonged weakness.
Stockers and feeders have been in very
good demand all the week, and though re-
cepts have been liberal, they have been
none too much SO to meet the requirements
of buyers. Feeder sheep especially have
been free sellers and prices obtained have
been very satisfactory to owners Lamb
buyers have complained a good deal about
the high prices OF feeder lambs, claiming
that they ought to be 800 per hundred
lower, hut in spite of all complaints and
objections they have taken everything
coming and at the close Of the week the
market Is just as good as II has been at
any time.
