Bait for the Men-The ministers of
Beatrice have hit upon a novel scheme to
increase church attendance on the part
of the male population Of that city. They
have decided to allow the gentry to at
tend church in their shirt sleeves. And
why not? When we think back to the
type of manhood with whom Christ asso-
ciated and with whom he was wont to
commune we often wonder why men of
modern times differ so much with the
Saviour of the world.-Fairbury Gazette.

The passage of some of the bills would enable the state wherein we live to prevent us from bringing a glass of beer or a bottle of wine to our tables, and the divine right of each to pursue his own good in his own way will be sacrificed to the fears and the fanatieism of those who regard drink as a crime. We German Americans have never allowed our love of food and drink to degenerate into intemperr ance, or to interfere with the good of the community, and we regard these bills as an unrighteous invasion of our manhood rights and of human free dom, and as misleading and iniquitous measures; and we pray for their de- feat

Baron Takahira, New Japanese Am

bassadOr, Talks on War"
 New York, Feb. 16,-Declaring that war between the United States and Japan would be 'the most inhuman event in the worlds history" and was "too hellish" to be thought of, Baron Kogoro Takahira, the new Japanese ambassador to Washington, said to- day, upon landing in New York from the steamer Etruria, that the Japan ese people know absolutely nothing of a break in the cordial relations which have been historic between the two nations. Talk of war, Baron Taka- hira declared with much emphasis. was utterly unintelligible to him un- less, as some one had suggested, it was to serve the commercial ends of some newspapers, The new ambas- sador said there might be some mat ters pending in Washington which would require his attention, but they were not serious. As to the cruise of the American fleet to the Pacific ocean, he regarded it purely as naval man oeuvre on a grand scale-designed to show to the world at large that Amer ica has a wonderful naval power which can be dispatched anywhere at mo- ment's notice fin support of legiti- mate cause, which always is at the bottom of American diplomacy"

AT UNION SERVICE Rev. Francis T. Brown Speaks at the Church of the
 Redeemer.
TRUE VALUE OF HEALTH
All Prosperity Should be Valued Only as Upbuilding the Soul or
 Our Influence.

At the Church of the Redeemer last evening large audience gathered for the final union service of the Central district. The Rev. Francis T. Brown, pastor of the First Methodist church preached the sermon on the theme, "Proportionate Prosperity" The text was III Johr; ?. Beloved, I wish that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul pros pereth."
 The speaker declared this text to be in harmony with the temper of our time. which is averse to other world liness land finds God in the present, the visible, the human. Men soon fell away from the sanity of this wish and regarded the temporal not as shot through birth eternal values but as ri- valing and excluding them. They did not seek to prosper or to be in health; the body was visited with abuse and mendicancy was made a saintly vlr- tue Such was asceticism the first of four world-views of which the speak CT treated briefly in passing to the view of the text.N
 The second way Of taking life was that from which asceticism was re- action. The Epicurean view which re- gards life as for having a good time. Life's schooling reveals in the pursuit Of a good time" that we must make room for self-control, for discipline, for endless aspiration, for self-sacrifice that shall take every man into our program.
 The third World-view was that of those who call themselves positivists, who while seeking to fill life with no- bility and unselfishness would exclude all reference to a personal God or a personal immortality. The speaker declared the talk about an ''imper- sonal immortality" of merely earthly influence if at the last the life of the human race is to end In nothingness and endless oblivion as the consecra- tion of superficiality, and quoted Tennysons impressive lines to this eff feet from his poem "Vastness.'
 The logic of this view when one sees through the trick of the will to live, -is>the fourth view-that of the Pessi- mist, who declares that human life which efrSs is vanity. is not worth the living ThomsoniS City of Dreadful Night" was quoted frem impressively and position of the textawas presented namely that life is ret eemed from vanity only as there is inA.he individ- ual soul an enduring value-a medium of transmitting worth beyond death
 Health, prosperity and all that we see and handle are to be valued therefore. only as they minister to the upbuiiding of the soul or the investment of iniu- ence In after souls. Prosper and De in health as thy soul prospereth' is the only rational order Gaius was great man because though man of wealth he could stand the test of praye.
 The preacher pressed home the ques tion as to the readiness of his hearers that this prayer should be offered and answered for themselves and that their physical health and material posses sions should instantly tally with their spiritual life and spiritual riches If we are ready for this prayer we have not yet begun to live.

CUTS OWN THROAT
Friends of Halbinger Not Sur.
prised, as Man Seemed
DoWnhearted.
WAS IN RICHMOND FRIDAY.

When in this city yesterday morn
ing and Thursday night, Walter Hal
binger, a travelling salesman from st.
Louis appeared morose and disconsol-
ate. Friends and acquaintance could
not enliven his spirits, and to some he
confided he had contracted malaria
while travelling in Kentucky and
Southern Indiana and had given up his
position. His melancholia could not be
dispelled and he left this city Friday
morning. He left the train at Berne
and after walking north up the track
two miles slashed his throat from ear
to ear. The cash is about six inches
long. The attempt at suicide did not
prove successful, however, and the
man was alive last night.
Although we'll dressed, Halbinger
was penniless. When he learned his
condition was critical he requested
kilograms be sent to relatives at St
Louis. 1t is learned he has a brother
in st. Louis rated as worth 100000
His sister has sent word she will has
ten to the bedside of her brother who
has but slight chance for recovery
Halbingers mind has changed and he
now wants to live.
