Holding the gospel as the sofution to
all life's problems. social, business and
political, Rev. DR. W. @. Stackhouse OF
the Baptist Laymen movement held the
attention of a large congregation during
his sermon at the dedication Of the new
Hillsdala baptist church at Forty-ihird
and l streets yesterday afternoon.
The ceremonies began at ; o'clock In the
afternoon and the capacity of the edifice
was taxed to accommodate the eongrega-
ton that had assembled for the first
service ever held In the building.
Mrs X. o, Haskins opened the service
by tho rendition OF several beautiful
solos adapted to the occasion. Taking
as his point of approach the conservation
OF the building the reverend speaker an
nounced that the plain. unvarnished
gospel of Jesus Christ was the ono soln-
ton Of all the problems OF life and the
world. Business life, political life and
social life each had its own peculiar
problems. the speaker commended, and
each could find the proper solution Of
these problems in the wide and all EN-.
bracing doctrines OF the gospel. g,
Personal conservation to the. service of
God was not a mere religious spasn,' the
speaker said. II was not the mere empty
belief IN set OF doctrines, but was the
actual constraining of man to the
obedience Of law Of God and man. 4
DIR. stackhouse Is a classmnte and a
lifelong friend OF the pastor of the church,
Rev, G. +. IIslcy. who has worked early
and late In order TO bring the building
Of the new church TO a success. The
yehurch Is really a mission and for its
Nalb, IL considered the .ninzt complete IN
eaztpment and convenience within the
thrre cities.
Rev. staekhouse will remain in the city
for some days.
Appointments to he Made.
1t Is probable that the city council will
be called upon to settle the appointments
that AFRO expected to be made. Since tho
election OF Mayor Hector hundreds have
made application for positions of more
or less importance under the city regime.
Although these appointments have not
been officially announced. II Is understood
that the present chief of police will be
retained over the protests Of a number
of aspirants, John Jackman Is aid to
be slated for street commissioner and
Ed Burson for sanitary inspector. while
Ed Trap is expected to be building In
spector.
James McTnany. the present tanitor Of
the city hall. will probably be retained
as superintendent OF the city hall or in q
subordinate capacity.
Another matter that must be settled
without delay Is whether the increases OF
salary allowed by the recent amend
ments to the city charter will be allowed
to stand.
Money Worries Democrats.
Democrats are sharpening their axes
for certain so-oaIled leaders who are
understood TO have been nominating
the selves as repositories for demo-
cratic campaign money I'm South Omaha.
Toe rank and, file complain that certain
so-called leaders have been peddling their
ability to deliver votes to the uptown
leaders and exaetlng therefor certain
comfortable sums as a means to tho de-
sired end
The money, 1t is understood, has in
the past never gone further than little
coterie OF the faithful and now some
OF those who feel they should have been
taken in are up In arms against a fur
Their supply being handed over to the
same bunch.
For the presidential campaign there Is
mention Of a 1890 fund to be. delivered
to the leaders of the Magic City. Every
democratic worker in town lie anxiously
awaiting the call to set his hands into
the sack. The point Is that II should
be delivered TO the one or ones who will
tote fair and share the coin all round.
Cattle Reported Scarce.
stocIrnen who have been following the
beef market closely expect that there
will be sharp. not to say harmonious.
rise in the prices OF cattle within the
next two months owing to range con-
dItions.
