lord discovered a thief in his town

A servant appeared, whom the peer
requested to 'go into the kitchen and
bring up a policeman or two" The
domestic returned and said there were
no policemen on the premises.

credulous tones, do you mean to tell
me that with cook, two scullery
maids, a kitchen maid and three
housemaids in my employ, there is no
policeman in my kitchen? 1t is in

fsneoial to the 4News.")

Omaha, Neb., June 5.-Applcation Tor
an injunction is being prepared to re-
strain the rans-oontinental railway
lines from advancing the rates from
the Pacific coast to the Missouri river
and from Utah and common points to
the Missouri river. The Missouri River
Wholesale Grocers' association, which
has members in Kansas City, st. Jo-
seph, Omaha and Sioux City, is doing
this. The application will be filed as
soon as 1t can be prepared in all prob
ability in the federal court at Kansas
City or Omaha IT Will be asked to
restrain the roads from putting into ef-
feet the tariffs filed by Il. H. CountisS,
agent of the TranScontinental Freight
association, May 90 and effective July
10. These tariffs show an advance of
10 cents from Pacific coast points TO
the Missouri river jobblng centers, ad-
vancing the rate from 30 cents per
hundred to go cents, on such commo-
dities as sugar. Another advance pro-
posed is from Utah points the advance
being 10 cents per hundred from IS
cents to 45 cents
If the rates become effective the rates
to Missouri river points from Utah and
from the Pacific coast VIII be on the
same basis as from the western points
to Chicago and the Mississippi river. In
other words. the railroads propose to
charge Kansas City, st. Joseph, Omaha
and Sioux City so cents Fer hundred
pounds on such commodities as sugar,
and still haul the commodities on to
the Mississippi river for the present
rate, which is 60 cents.
The proposed rates are to be from the
coast to Missouri river and "interme-
date points which means that all sta
tions east of Utah will have n so cent
rate from the Pacific coast and those
east of Colorado to and including the
Missouri river cities. will have rate
of As cents. Just what caused the roads
10 take this action is n matter OF con-
lecture. Some time ago the Grand
Island sugar shippers asked the Ne
braska railroad commission to give
them a 10 cent rate from Omaha to
Grand Island on such commodities as
sugar because the railroads years ago
made a rate of 10 cents on sugar from
Grand Island to Omaha to assist the
western sugar factories.

President BrimhaII Presents An
Interesting Paper on That
Subject Today.
SECOND DAY OF CONVENTION
Teachers Assembled Decide To Have
Address Published I'm Church
Magazine or Pamphlet.

The second day of the convention OF
the Church school teachers was opened
this morning at Barratt hall The chief
feature was the presentation of paper
on tithing in the Church schools by
President Brimhal President Brlm-
halls address created a profound i'm
preston, and 1t was decided by the con-
Vention to have 1t published either in
one of the Church magazines or IN sep
arate form.
President Brimhall's paper was on
the teaching of tithing In the Church
schools. He first called attention to
the history OF the subject not only un.
der the Jewish rule but also under the
Christian dspensation. He then read
the revelation on tithing. People, he
said, should be taught that tithing is a
law of the Church 1t is the best pro-
lection financially. as a great many can
testtfy-1a security against financial dis
tress. AS to the social aspect of the
principle of tithing, or rather It's appli-
cation in life, the speaker declared that
man oncc came to him to inquire as
to the probability Of getting an inter-
view with third man whom President
Brimhall knew. with a view to finding
out whether the first man would not
either make investments for him or di-
rect him in making investments. II
am certain as to two points of his char
acter," said he, first that he Is able
and, second, that he is honest, although
the man is not personally known
to me-" How do you know
this?" asked President Brimhal.
The answer was that any man who
will keep his contract with the LORD
Will not be dishonest with his fellow
man.
The speaker then went on to affirm
that young people should be taught
that tithing was made for man and
not man for tithing; In other words, no
said, we were not made In order that
we might be taxed by the Lord. We
pay tithing to receive blessings from
the Lord.
Tho paper abounded In short. pointed
sentences, full of deep significance,
which would have to be heard in or
der to be appreciated. general and
lively discussion followed the reading.
The music for the session was fur
nished by the y. Y. university. A vi
