SALVATION SUPREME ATTAINMENT
Better Than Health, wealth or wis

Better Than Health, wealth or Wis
dom, Says President WadswOrth.
President Guy w. wadsworth Of Bellevue
college preached at the First Presbyterian
church last evening, taking his text from
Psalms xxxii:1, Blessed is he whose trans
gression is forgiven, whose sin is covered"
"A strictly literal translation of the
original OF this verse;" said the speaker
us oh, the blessedness of him whose
transgression is forgiven, whose sin is COW
cred The psalmist knew what he was
talking about when he made this utter
ance. His soul was bubbling over with the
JOY of sin forgiven. He had tasted the
bitterness of alienation from the God he
loved and when he wrote this verse he
was feeling the blessedness Of having his
transgresslon forgiven, his sin covered and
himself restored to favor
Heath wealth and wisdom, according
to an old proverb are the most desirable
things in life. But these are OF little value.
Health is a good thing, but 1t is not worth
a whole lifetime of endeavor. I am not a
decrier of wealth, for 1 see, every day,
beautiful things that are produced by
wealth, but wealth Is a poor thing to have
foremost in our thoughts. A definition of
money which took a prize in a news
paper competition was Jnls. money IL tne
thing which will buy It's owner everything
but happiness, and will admit him to every
place except heaven 1t is a very good
definition, too
wisdom is a very desirable thing, but
It does not fill the measure of human
wants. Socrates said: I know enough to
know that do not know everything The
generality of mankind know less than
Socrates. but many of them think wisdom
is the supremacy desirable thing.
THE twentieth century will never get
beyond the ten commandments of God.
Neither will the twenty-first, twenty
second, nor any of the succeeding centuries
or ages. Sin is the same today as II has
ever been and there is only one way to
escape It, and that is to trust In Him
! who has made Precipitation for It.
"Sin is all around us, but often we are
unconscious of It. An Englishman of &C.
centric tastes bought a cobra, the fangs
Of which had been removed He kept II
as pet in his home for months He was
| ignorant OF the fact that the serpent'i
fangs would grow again In three months
| Fortunately his pet dog was the victim
| that provoked the cobra to anger. It BIZ
the dog causing almost instant death. 81
| It is with people in the world. And tn,
more Indifferent we are to the sin sur
rounding us, the more easily we will b.
tripped UP by It. The only help lies II

SUSPECT IN THE SWEATBoX
Police VIII Look Into Record OF Man
who Says tie killed Miss
RummeIhart.

Thorough investigation will be made bX
the Omaha police into the movements Of
the man arrested at South Omaha Satur-
day. who asserts he is the person who
killed Josephine Rummelhart at Twenty
sixth and Dodge streets last October. Cap
tain Mostyn, with Detectives Dummy and
Maloney, went to South Omaha Saturday
evening and the prisoner was taken before
them for a lengthy questioning. Captain
Mostyn conducted the examination, and ac-
cording TO the fellows statements he
worked In Colorado and Wyoming most of
last year
The prisoner said he had used several
names in travelling about, L. Steiner, Louis
Thiebaud. De Bolt and other such names
being among them. After having talked
with him a while Mostyn recognized him
as the man who was arrested in Omaha
about two years ago charged with having
snatched a woman's pocketbook. Patrol
man Dillon caught a fellow who was
struggling with woman for the possession
OF her handbag. He gave the name of
George Sanovy. He was acquitted by a
jury on the plea that he was running to
catch a car at the time and the officer
took him for the thief. Thebaud, which
name seems to At him best from his
ndtloudiily anu appearance, Hunlltteu ne
Is Sanovy.
During his recital of his comings and
goings since then, he talked nationally and
like other men, but when the matter Of his
arrest in South Omaha and the murder Of
Miss Rummelhart were mentioned he
changed Municipalities and talked as a man
whose mind is shattered morally. That he
is degenerated to an exceedingly low de-
gree was plainly apparent when he was all
lowed to ramble in his talk along subjects
which seemed to be favorite with him. The
taking of human life would be merely an
incident to such a person and would even
be justifiable in his mind were his designs
to be forwarded.
Captain Mostyn took notes of the mans
wanderings and attempts to verify his
statements will be made Immediately. In
telling where he had worked, he said he
was at Fort Collins, Colo, the forepart OF
! october, which is the time Miss Rummel-
hart was murdered. When Mostyn first
asked him about Miss Rummelhart he said
he knew no more than anyone else does

was out Of his line. That was quite be-
meath his dignity.
I'VE church people get so busy attending
meetings that we have no time 20 help the
man who is down. A dead Journalism has
no heart to help him.
1.-THE Good Samaritan was hated by the
man who was hurt SO is Jesus The Good
Samaritan was under no obligation to help
the man who was down. Nor is Christ
The Good Samaritan exposed himself TO
danger and fatigue and expense for the
sake OF the man who was down. So did
Jesus. Men Of our day will never act
the Good Samaritan until they catch the
spirit Of the Good Samaritan. which is the
spirit Of the Christ.
ut is a most remarkable misinterpreta-
ton that makes this parable the base of
a gospel of salvation by works. There is
not a hint of this in the parable. Indeed,
the parable is plainly called out in reply
to a legalist who was arguing for saliva
ton by works. Jesus said to him: BE
perfect and live, but, IL you have ever
fallen. l am come to save the man who
is down Jesus will save the man who is
down. intellectually. physically, spiritually.
He will save him unto character and unto
heaven"

"a GENIAL PHILOSOPHER"
An Interesting Story-SmRH Book
AttractiveIy illustrated.

Among booklets recently published, the
one that seems to be the most deserving
of praise for its fund Of general informa-
ton conciseness and attractiveness. along
the lines of it's subject, has Just been pub
lished by the Val Blatz Brewing company
OF Milwaukee. The work is so refreshingly
devoid OF all OF the conventional earmarks
of commercialism, that 1t lie not only
worthy of the reading, but Of more than
passing comment
The work treats of beer as a factor in
practical temperance. and In dietetics, and
shows that beer, as brewed nowadays,
should not be classed in the same category
with distilled liquors.
It is a peculiar fact that the same peo-
pie who refrain from drinking beer on ac-
count OF the supposed amount of alcohol
It contains. are frequently those who think
nothing OF drinking cider. which contains
twice the amount

manager who wrote and planned "A Genial
Philosopher" states that copies will be
mailed to those desiring same, on applica-
ton to the main once OF the company, OF

about her. but later he said he killed her
himself
As he continued TO ramble on he said he
killed her because she took 1850 out OF
his pocketbook, and again later he said she
took the money December Z. and that he
killed her two weeks afterward. While these
statements and others he made We're very
wild and indicate insanity, the police will
investigate the man In earnest, as II -
probably just such n person who did com
init the crime OF last october. The longer
he talked the wilder became his statements
Naturally, at the close OF the interview he
caused more or less laughter, ms no conf
dence was placed in his remarks. When he
was being led back to his cell, however, he
said to the turnkey, That's all right. Those
fellows out there can laugh. but l killed
Miss .Rummelhart just the same"
During a portion OF the interview thec
prisoner gave his Impressions on certain'
matters, in which he expounded theories
which were evidently the products Of a dis
eased mind. Some particular woman seemed
TO be in his mind, against whom he har-
bored grudge. though who she is could
not be positively discovered. While he
maintained that he killed Miss Rummelhart
he said once that he saw and spoke TO her
the day before his arrest.
When he had concluded his questioning.
Captain Mostyn said: This fellow is un-
doubtedly clear crazy or he is feigning in
sanity for some reason. But then II is just
such degenerate being that killed Miss
Rummelhart, and you can't tell I'm spite OF
his contradictory rambling but what per-
haps he is the guilty one. We win go to
work Immediately trying to prove his
whereabouts at the time OF the murder
The prisoner said he was born in Switzer-
A. II.
He also said he has Mexican blood in his
veins.

CHRIST WILL SAVE FALLEN MAN
Parable of Good Samaritan Ex-

Parable of Good Samaritan Ex-
pounded by DIR. Mcbride.
Sunday evening at the Central United
Presbyterian church. Twenty-fourth and
Dodge, the pastor. Rev. r. B. A. Mcbride,
look for his theme Help for the Man That
Is Down" His text was the parable of
the Good Samaritan. The speaker showed
that the parable was Christs answer to
legalism. While the parable teaches un-
selfish helpfulness, 1t is but the expression
of the Christ's own life, He came to give
Himself for others, and that while the
others hated Him.
"The man who is down is not always to
blame for his condition." said Rev. Mr..
Mcbride. Look at the drunkard's family
tonight; poorly housed, poorly clothed,
poorly fed. robbed and wounded and half
dead, like the man OF the parable, and
whose fault Is it7 Now as then, legalism

CONLEH ON SUNDAY SALOONS
Pastor Of First BAPTIST Church Gives
Reasons for Closing,
DtpRtck1ts ATTITUDE OF THE MAYOR
says some way should Ne Found
to show Mr.. DahIman He
t. Not Greater Than
the Law.

''If Chief Donahue wants to stand by
the law let us stand by him and endeavor
20 find some way to impress our mayor
with the fact that he is not greater than
the laws OF the state said Rev. ]. w.
Conley at the First Baptist church Sun
day morning. He was giving, as ten
minute prelude to his sermon, some rea-
sons why the saloons should be closed ON
Sunday.
''The law of the commonwealth Of Ne
braslxa plainly and Enthusiastically says the
saloons of Omaha shall be closed on Sun
day. and the mayor Is not more powerful
than the law. Let us be law-abiding citi-
Eens and stop encouraging lawlessness by
our example.
''There has been sense of satisfaction
In the minds of good citizens that the sa-
looms have been closed on the Lords day
for a few weeks. These same minds now
feel a deep sense of humiliation and in
dignation at the attempt of the mayor to
open them again"
Aside from his reference to the law on
the subject Mr.. Conley gave a number
Of other reasons for Sunday closing.
Justice TO other branches of trade de-
mands It," he said. "Other business
houses are closed. and why should the sa-
looms be allowed to keep open and get
the money which might otherwise go to
the stores? Mayor Dahlman says the sa-
looms can't get money to pay their licenses
unless they are open Sundays. II that is
true, then the fact that they do pay their
licenses by keeping open shows they are
getting money that ought to go to other
branches Of business.
VIII Remove Temptation.
Sunday closing takes temptation out Of
the way of men when they are particularly
susceptible. Sunday is a day of leisure
Leisure, money and open saloons offer
temptation. They say the saloon is the
poor mans club. 1 say the Sunday saloon
s the curse of the poor mans home.
with, the saloons closed Sunday police
work would be less. II two policemen
could keep the lid on the others would
rest.
Omaha has a reputation for indulgence
In the lower vices of society. and anything
that would tend to change this reputation
would be good thing for the city.
"To close the saloons is to strengthen
the moral forces of our city. The schools,
churches, juvenile courts and Libraries are
all factors for the moral uplift OF society.
But right across their path is flung the
counteracting and degrading influence of
the Sunday saloon
DR.. Conley followed this talk with ser
mon on Serious Omissions" contrasting
the influence of church Of power with
that OF the church Of form.

1T USED TO BE DIFFERENT
Easy Victory Of Norris Brown Con-
trasted with Contest of Pad
dock aud Thayer.

Several men were casually discussing the
election OF Norris Brown 10 the United
States senate in the federal building
Wednesday and one Of them remarked
the ease with which Senator Brown gained
the toga, without having to suffer the
anxieties of an acrimonious and siren
uous campaign. Judge Munger who was
one OF the party, and who before his ele-
walton TO the United States bench had
something more OF less to do with the
democratic history of Nebraska remarked:
ut wasn't always that way. A sena-
torial contest down at Lincoln was once
the signal for drawing the foremost poll
ticians of the state there, regardless OF
politics. The two saddest things that
ever saw were the outcome of a senatorial
contest. The first was when A. s. Paddock
defeated General John NJ. Thayer for the
senate In 1871. General Thayer's heart was
set on a reelection, and when he was de-
feated by the Gage county man the old
general seemed to be completely broken
hearted. I felt deeply sorry for him, but
condolences would not comfort him, and
do not think that he ever did get com
pletely over the defeat. He felt that his
services as a soldier entitled him to better
treatment. and aside from that the defeat
seemed to take all the ambition out of him.
THE next case was when Paddock him
self was defeated for election a third term
in 1898. Paddock thought he was sure Of
election, but some of his warmest friends
thought that he had been pretty we'll taken
care of and were not as ardent in his sup
port as he thought they should be. He was
defeated, you remember, by w. V. Allen,
though had 1t not been for Psddock's can
didacy then, IL is very probable that John
NJ. Thurston would have been elected. 1
saw Paddock just after the election, and
he was bitterly sore and disappointed, more
so, / think, than Thayer was twenty-five
years before. Paddock had at this time
already served two terms in the senate,
having beaten Van wyck in 1887, and was
at this time a candidate for reelection.
Paddock went home broken-hearted and
completely dispirtted 1t was his last APP
pearance on the stage of Nebraska politics.
Both Thayer and Paddock are dead now,
and / do not think that either of them
ever completely recovered from their de-
feat.
