LECTURE BY BISHOP MINTYRE
Fair-Sized Audience Braves the Cold
to Hear the Distinguished
Divine.

Bishop Robert Mcintyre OF the Methodist
Episcopal church addressed a fair sized
and highly appreciative audience at the
First Methodist church Wednesday even
ing on the subject, "Buttoned-Up People"
A more conventional topic for the lecture
than the quaint phrase from Dickens would
be THE Philosophy of Human Happiness"
which Bishop Mcintyre says is clouded and
warped by the bu;toned-up-ness of the
world. known as s%elfishness in the home,
exclusiveness in society. prejudice in BUSH
ness and bigtory in religion. Touching
hardly at all upon intimate matters of doc
trine and theology, the address was never
theless religious in nature. although keen
wit and choice humor enlivened IL at all
times.
More than once the speaker was stopped
by hearty applause, specially in recognition
of novel anecdotes and clever Illustrations
or after one OF those periodic and highly
tense and vivid bits OF oratory that put
Bishop Mcintyre among the great speakers
in the American pulpit today. He spoke for
fully two hours, with remarkable vigor
and power OF holding the attention OF his
hearers, in spite of the fact that he has
grown elderly in the work and is remem-
bered by oleer citizens as a strong speaker
over twenty years ago.
with a vivid description OF the famous
Chicago fire and following with minor
mention OF the other great catastrophies OF
recent years, including the Italian seismic
disturbance and the story OF how peonIe
in all parts Of the world respond with helm
and sympathy for the suffering OF their
fellow beings. Bishop McIntyre declared

COUNTY BOARDS GOOD RECORD
Finishes Year with All Bills Paid and
Cash Balance In Every
Fund.

With an all-afternoon and al%l-evening
session the old Board of County Commits
sioners finished up its business and made
way for the new board, which ssumes
charge of the affairs of the county today.
Resolutions of commentator for the re-
firing members, A. G. Harte and w. G.
IRE, were passed, as was also one for
Chairman Kennard. who responded by say
ing that this was the first board which
had ever retired with every bill paid and
with money in every fund
The $4,000 600 bonds for the new court
house were sold at private sale, $4,000 900
worth going to the Board Of Educational
Lands and Funds at par and accrued in
terest and 5000, 600 worth going to N. w.
Halsey & Co. OF New York and Chicago
at par and accrued interest and S2,Ol6.6
premium. The school money will be
available when wanted on sixty days
notice and the $500, 900 will be available
at once. G. W. Hoobler, the Omaha rep
resentative of N. w. Halsey 4 CO., rep
resented that firm. The bonds are at 4
per cent and the board congratulated
itself and Douglas county on the size of
the premium.
The board overruled the remonstrance Of
e. e. Thomas against the granting OF a
saloon license 20 w. H. Warner, Forty
sixth and Q streets and granted the license.
Mr.. Thomas gave notice of appeal.
Architect John LAtenser asked advice of
the board on the matter of furnishing blue
prints and specifications OF the new court
house TO those requesting the same, that
they might bid. Although the advertisement
has been running but three days Mr.. Laten-
ser said that he had over thirty appIica-
tons. The notice says these will be fur
nished 10 contractors who send a certi-
fled check for $50, and as the blue prints
are quite extensive and the electric print
ing machine can print but one set a day
Mr.. Latenser wanted to know what to do.
He estimated that at the rate they we're
being requested over 100 applications would
be received, and as they cost $40 apiece, he
wanted TO know what to do. He was in
structed TO use his own judgment and to
furnish to the contractors as fast as they
could be prepared.
The board bought a hiEh-wheeled auto
mobile from the Holmes-Adkins company
Of South Omaha for 500 for the use Of the
county surveyor.
The paving on the Calhoun road, the
Iverton road, West Q street and West
L~eavenworth was accepted from the con-
tractors and the final estimate Of the con-
tractors was allowed in each case.

= cash fund at the various state institu-
tons should be abolished and the business
OF the state so far as it applies to the gem
eral conduct and administration of the diff
ferent state institutions should be thor
oughly s~ystematiZed. For the first time
in a number of years the state institutions
and departments for which the governor
appoints the officers and employees have
passed into the hands of an executive OF
another party than that of q number OF
the preceding executives, who nave been
responsible for them. In making what
changes 1 contemplate ! have urged upon
those whom 1 have selected certain salient
things. First. that they shall accept their
positions with the understanding that they
hold them only upon the condition that they
render to the state satisfactory service.
That no salaries are TO be increased nor
new offices created, unless authorized by
the legislature. To employ no one not ac-
tually needed and to exact full time, cheer
full and effective service from every person
in the employment OF the state.
salary Instead of Fees.
The clerk of the supreme court and all
other officers of the state and county gov
errnents who how receive and retain the
fees paid them by the public should be
placed upon a fixed and reasonable salary
and all fees and moneys received by them
should be covered into the state or county
treasury. The fees charged in every in
stance should be sufficient, so that no loss
would be sustained by the state or county
by reason of litigation upon the part Of
private parties.
1 would suggest that a proper appropri-
alton be made to assist in the worthy and
patriotic purpose Of erecting a suitable
monument in this city to the memory of
the martyred president, Abraham Lincoln.
Both the time and the place seem espe-
cially appropriate, as the one is the CEN
tenary OF his birth and the other bears
his honorable name.
In the matter OF appropriations, l urge
you to proceed with caution and to act
upon your very best judgment. The ex-
penses of the state must be kept within its
income. Those responsible to you for esti-
mates OF expenditures for the biennium
for which you must provide the necessary
funds ask for more money than the eX-
pected total income of the state. Do not
forget that the men who nave sent you
here have to pay the bills of expense and
expenditures which you shall allow. Be
generous to our schools, but not extrava-
CANT. Large appropriations or increase of
salaries rarely II ever bring better service.
There are doubtless other matters which
this legislature can take up with benefit
and profit to the people who nave sent you
here, but l feel confident that II you pro-
vide satisfactory legislation relating to the
questions TO which ! have referred. you
can go home with the certainty that you
will meet a satisfied constituency. With a
firm reliance upon the wisdom and judg-
ment of this legislature and a hope that
with your assistance we may together in
some fair measure fulfill the hopes and
meet the expectations Of the citizens of Ne
braska who have trusted us with power, I
submit these questions to you, gentlemen
Of the house and senate.

EARTHQUAKE ROCKS
ITALIANS ONCE MORE
MESSING and Reggie Thrown Into
Panic By New Shocks.

Messina, July 2. Messina expert.
enced two terrific earthquakes Thurs
day, which we're accompanied by roar
ing sounds. and are said to have had
a stronger and more undulatory move
ment than the earthquake of last De
cember, which destroyed Messina.
Reggie and other cities. laid waste
many villages in Calabria and killed
100000 people.
The $4,000 residents of this city
were thrown into state OF terror.
They ran into the streets panic
stricken. and nearly the entire popu-
lation is camped in the open places,
fearing to return to the structures
which have served them as homes
since the city was destroyed.
The broken walls of the old ruins
were thrown to the ground. The cas-
ualties were few, and the only persons
killed SO far as is known were young
woman and her infant.
Reggie suffered almost as severely
as Messina. Walls were overthrown
but no casualties have been reported
at that place.
