tEPETITION OF THE CANTATA.
ho Methodist Sunday School Will
Again Bendor "The Prophet of
Nazareth."
The cantata, "The Prophet of Nnz
nreth," by Charles A. Gabriel, which
wan given so magnificently at the First
Methodist church on Christmas night
by tho Sunday school, assisted by the
choir and orchestra, Is to be repeated
tomorrow evening. An admission feo
of ten cents will be charged, In order
1o raise u smull fund topurchnse books
for the Sunday school, which It Is sadly
In need of. The entertainment, In It
self, Is worthy or a much larger ad
mission price, and should be heard by
another large audience.
On Christmas night tho several solo
ists sang In good voice and with clear
enunciation; the responses by the
quartettes were sung sweetly and the
voices blended luirmonlously. Tho
ladles' octette was admirably given:
nothing better than this number has
been hoard in this town for a lonir
time. Their "Glory to God in the
Highest," In on adjoining room, and
tho response by the school of "Harkl
The Herald Angels Sing," was simply
grand. The chorus workwaa given
with a vim and dush seldom heard
from little folks. The soft parts and
the crescendos were well rendered, aijd
the climaxes were thrilling. The whole
cantata showed much work and care
ful training. A large audience will, no
doubt, greet them again on Friday, as
no better entertainment of Its kind has
ever been given In this city.
i
Congregatlonallsts Celebrate.
The fuct that tho children were not
surfeited by their Christmas joys on
Tuesday was abundantly proven last
evening, when the Sunday school of
the First Congregational church held
their exercises In the auditorium ot
that edifice. An old-fashioned chim
ney, erected from bricks made of candy
boxes, from which old St. Nick emerg
ed, aided greatly In enhancing the
joy of the little ones and the venerable
old saint, before whom the most cyni
cal must bow at this season, was ac
claimed with shouts of welcome. A
line Christmas entertainment was ren
dered by the little ones, assisted by
the adults.
The programme consisted of the fol
lowing selections: Recitation, Gretta
Davis; recitation, Jennie Davis; reci
tation, Budd Tallman; recitation, Ray

ON TRAIL OF THE KIDNAPPEKS.
One of Thorn Believed to Have lief,
a Horse in an Iowa Town.
By nxdiulve Wire (una Tho Associated Preis.
Omaha, Dec. 2G. The police believe
that the bay pony found at Paclflc
Junction, In., on Jjlriday morning, in
the stable of Mrs. Iad Mack, was used
by the kidnappers of Eddie Cudahy.
Tho horse was found after neighbors
had noticed a strange man coming
from the barn In the early morning.
It is believed that the animal was rid
den across the ferry at Plnttsmouth
by one of the kidnappers, who slept in
tho barn over night nnd left his horse
behind. The horse will be brought tt,
Omaha.
Sir. Cudahy expresses himself as
pleased with the progress of the case,
and believes that the kidnappers will
bo apprehended. Ho makes a denial of
the sensational threats he is reported
to have made In certain despatches.
Both Mr. Cudahy and tho police have
been receiving letters from "Elolse T.,"'
who has been writing from Cincinnati
asking why the police think Pat Crowe
Is one of tho kidnnppers, by what law
he could be punished, etc. The letters
are written on stationery of the Wind
sor hotel, Omaha, two months old,
when the hotel was under n former
management. The letters apparently
have been mailed to Cincinnati from
here and remniled by a confederate.
Other letters are from cranks and sym
pathizers. RECEIVERS IN BAIRD CASE.
