Lincoln. Neb., July 20.-The Rev.

Methodist church. of University Place,
a suburb, was suspended from the

whose house he boarded.
After hearing Ferguson deliver a
powerful sermon on virtue. Mrs. Cross
confessed to misconduct with the min
lister at various places, including his
study and hotels.
The hearing was before seven
Methodist preachers from surrounding
cities. Although Mrs. Cross was the
principal witness. several others sub
tantiated her testimony. She testified
that 1T was not until she heard the
powerful sermon on virtue that she
realized her position. She finally sue
ceeded in bringing herself to the task
of making q confession to the church
board.
Milton Burke, cashier of the First
National bank, who was also a boarder
at Mrs. Cross home. testified that the
clergyman was indiscreet even in the
presence of the boarders. Miss jose
phtpe Brown, general secretary of the
Young Women's Christian Association,
another boarder. said she had been
driven to take up her abode in an
other city and to withdraw from Fer
guson's church because of the min
ister's conduct.

a minister in New York city. For five
years he was president of the Cen
tenary College institute, in Hacketts-
town. N. J.. and later pastor of st.

DUsENBERRx is REMOVED.
Policeman Smoked and Then Silent
While on Duty.

The first victim of Chief of Police
Eaton's new rule against policeman
smoking while on duty was OFFICER
H. A. Dusenberry, who was relieved
from duty last night temporarily un-
der the suspended for cause" clause.
Though smoking while on a beat was
the reason assigned for the canning
1t was but one of many reason that
existed for the release of Dusenberry.
There is plenty of proof that after
the copper had enjoyed his after
lunch smoke one night last week that
he sought the easy chairs in front of
the Hotel Throop and made for him
self a bed and slept thereon. A ser
Reant was sent out to locate him,
fearing that he might have met with
an accident of some kind.
He was located, but the locating
process was his undoing and he was
relieved from duty by Chief Eaton
who recommended that the suspen-
sion be made permanent and there is
but little doubt that his recommend
ton will be acted upon by Mayor
Green. There have been numerous
mplaints from various sources
against Dusenberry who is one Of the
new policemen appointed since Mayor
Green has been In the chair. 1t has
been asserted that he has reported
numerous cases that have never ex-
listed and caused the officers many
wild chases where there was no pos
sibility of a capture being made ana
in many Instances where no crime
had been committed.

most wonderful set of false whiskers and
eyebrows that the eye of man has ever
