Unique Experience Of Rev. Robert L.
Wheeler, When the First Presbyterian
Church Of South Omaha Was Expunged
from the Map by the Annexation with

Church in Recognition of His Service

to build up itself It is rnissionatng church 1t
supports and is now finishing pretty church
building at Forty-ninth and @ Streets where. for
fourteen years a flourishing mission Bible school
has been maintained.
For activity Dr. Wheeler makes the proverbial
Cranberry merchant" look like ordinary loafer.
He is busy all the time. Neither rain, snow, heat
or cold can stop him. He is a good example OF the
fallacy of the popular idea that "all minister has
to do is preach two sermons week" Unless you
have an appointment you aren't likely to find him
at home when you call He's out visiting the sick
or burying the dead calling on his parishioners
or engaged in some other OF his multitudinous
duties
Many of these duties are self-imposed. For
example his preaching and offering prayer over the
bodies of friendless dead. One day, some years
ago, he saw a body Of "one more unfortunate" be-
ing chucked into a pine box to be hauled out and
put in the ground without benefit Of clergy,
He Immediately called a halt the impromptu
funeral He conducted services over the body and
then he made public his desire to conduct services
the bodies of all poor and friendless persons
who had no one to perform that service There is
no charge for It, either. He has conduoed the
funerals of sixty-four suicides since he came to
South Omaha.
whenever anyone speaks to DR.. Wheeler about
the good work he has done, he invariably plucks
large verbal bouquet and throws It gracefully in the
direction of his wife. They were married In 1875
back in his boyhood home, watkins, N. Y.
my devoted wife has been most capable aid
all these years." says DR.. Wheeler Her patience,
devotion to the church gracious quality of peace
and goodwill to all, and native sense Of attending
strictly to her affairs has been Of incalculabe
blessing"

was named the First Presbyterian church of South
Omaha. When South Omaha became a part of
Greater Omaha It became necessary to rename the
church because there was already one First Presby
terrain church in Omaha. Then it was that the
congregation looking upon the treless abors of its
/ pastor, decided to name the church after him.
So Il is the Robert L. Wheeler Memorial Pres
; hyterian church.
If deserved memorial DR.. Wheeler
: does So says his congregation. He first sug-
gested establishing church in South Omaha. That
was in 1887 and he had come to Omaha to attend
the meeting OF the general assembly which held
in little school house where the Union Pacific
station, South side stands.
The idea took. Rev. Mr.. Wheeler Immediately,
with characteristic energy, began canvassing the
lively little town for members. He ''rodhded up
bakers dozen, organized and placed Rev. George
/. charge at Ponca, Neb.
The Rev. Mr. Lodge found South Omaha such
wild and un-Godly place that he gave up his task
and left the little flock without a shepherd.
When this news reached New York, Dr. John
Hall, chairman OF the Home Missions board of the
Presbyterian church, wrote to Dr. Wheeler asking
him to leave Ponca and try to build up the South
= Omaha church DR.. Wheeler accepted the burden
and arrived in South Omaha with his family in May
1898. He has been ION the job" ever since.
He soon had plans under way for church
building and the building materialzed at
: Twenty-fifth and streets. This succeeded by
a more pretentious structure at Twenty-second and
streets. And in the course of time, and a re-
suit of labor and patience, the congregation out
grew this building also.
And there stands the beautiful new structure.

THE SEEMING REF SAL.

Many inquiries have been heard,
they even taking the form of letters
to the editor, and telephone calls, ASK
ing why Hughes has not congratulated
President Wilson on his reelection.
One reason can be advanced, and that
is the official vote of several states
has not been finally determined. Oc-
casionally, a news dispatch intimates
that Hughes is waiting on the final
official compilation of Californias vote,
which is the pivotal state.
All of America, with the possible ex-
ception of Republican Chairman Will
cox and Hughes, have conceded the
election of Wilson in some form Of
other. The Democratic papers are
patting themselves on the back, while
the Republican papers are explain
ing how it happened. A conclusive
sign of Republican defeat is their
quarrel among themselves.
But Hughes predicament reminds us
all of the little child, fond of candy
who has it dangling before his eyes
Just as the infant reaches to grasp the
him. There's Hughes. The presi
dency seemingly was his, and almos
as suddenly it was taken from him
Ee is pouting, and may never recover

EVERETTE ON HONOR ROLL
OF PENN MUTUAL THIS MONTH

The Penn Mutual Life Insurance
Co., issues a monthly honor roll, list
ing fifty foremost producers of gross
premiums sent in by the entire agen-
Wy force of this company, and T. NJ.
Everette, as special agent of this ter
ritory, stands twenty-fourth in the Oc-
tober business of the company's entire
field, and was second in the whole
state Of Georgia.
The Times-Recorder is glad of the
opportunity to congratulate Mr.. Ev-
erette on account of this splendid
achievement, and our best wishes for
his future success. When it is con-
sidered that thousands of Penn Mu-
tual insurance men in all the largest
cities are striving to get on these
monthly honor rolls, an idea of how
much business is necessary in order
to be listed on the fifty foremost pro-
Uucers is seen.

Says We viii both lo5@ and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid Illness.

Sanitary science has of late made
raid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est application of its untiring re-
search is the recommendation that it
is as necessary to attend to internal
sanitation of the drainage system Of
tie human body as is the drains OF
the house.
Those of US who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
sch, can instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the stom.
ach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action OF
hot water and limestone phosphate On
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast. While your are enjoying
your breakfast the phosphated hot
water is quietly extracting a large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough flushing
OF all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble. rheumatic stiffness;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone Phosphate from the drug store.
This will cost very little, but is sufi.
cient to make anyone pronounced
crank on the subject of internal sani-
tation. advt

The Sad Condition.

On the contrary: How lamentable is
the unfortunate, though seemingly uu-
necessary, cry of so many cities: "If
our people would only get together!"
If our people would only get together
we would not be in neeG of this and
that improvement! If our people
would only get together every one of
our people would be enjoying this ana
that advantage and pleasure! If our
people would only get together we
could accomplish this and that i'm
provement which would mean so much
for our city and it's people! If our
people would only get together we
would not be in need of all the many
improvements which we should have,
for We would then have them! IN
short: If our people would only get
together we would have the prettiest
best and happiest city of its size in the
country!
Upon analyzing the regret IF our
people would only get together!" we
find it to be, however, largely self
accusation, which would be better in
terpreted thus: If l would only get
together WITH our people instead OF
depending upon the other people, or
counteracting what other people are
endeavoring to do for my city and me!
An excuse in this respect is not pos
sible, for self-antagonism is a dang
erous enemy which must not be allow
ed to linger. Self-reformation, pro-
ductive of the desire to get together
with the other public-spirited citizens,
will on the contrary work wonders
When each of our people will adopt as
his slogan Il will get together with
our people! and will learn it's lesson
and will follow it's doctrine by relig-
iously practicing it: then will all our
PEOPLE have gotten together and the
beneficial progress will be the newt
able consequence
The real purpose of the chamber OF
commerce or the commercial club will
then become very manifest, for it will
be realized without exertion what UNI
tied effort can and will accomplish
when each one is in sympathy with his
own home town and wants to do for il
as much as is his duty and obligation

rsunity organization which has united
the energies and efforts into one big
Get-together! In rejecting upon the
chamber of commerce the citizens will
not then consider How much will /
get out of the chamber of commerce %
but will assume the attitude, what
opportunity will the chamber of COM
merce offer to me of giving myself
unselfshly and unreservedly to the
community?"
After conducting the self-examina-
ton and self-analysis suggested, each
citizen will come to realize how great
is the debt which he owes to his city
and community. His education, his as
ISOLATION, his entertainment-no mat
ter what its form may be-his very
happiness and cheer and comfort, his
very existences depends not upon him
self, but upon what others have done,
are doing and will do TOR him in
his community. Isn't it then merely
mutual debt debt between each other
that each one shall do his share in the
promotion and extension of the al
vancement of his own community?
Isn't it merely mutual duty which
is required Of each one as an acknowl
edgment of blessings received? In this
respect TT is more blessed to give

The whole executive committee in
