THJfi OMAHA JDAJUjy 24. 1891. 5 'T ' FAVOR DEACONESSES , JThoOmauaProjbytorlans Rojoot a Proposi tion to Have Them Ordained. DEVELOPED AN INTERESTING DEBATE , Jlcr. W. < 1. nnrslia Hotl im from mi Tin- Itortiint Coinnitttcc \ Change Iininlnctit In tlio Nubrnnkn Vivo Insurance Company. The morning session of the Omaha pres- Tjytory was a lively ono. The principal matter under consideration was the report of the commlttoo appointed to consider the following overture sent to the Omaha presbytery by the last general assembly. Section 1. In chapter VI. "Woman also terved the apostolic church as deaconesses , whoso ofllco and duties were similar to these of deacon. " Boctlon 2 , Chapter XIII. "Deaconesses may be elected to ufllco in a manner similar to that appointed for deacons , and sot apart by prayer. " This overture was Intended ns a modifica tion of the book of discipline and was referred to a commlttoo consisting of Hev. S. M. \Vnro. Kov. J. M. Wilson and Warren Bwttzlcr. The report of the committee was presented by the chairman , Kov. Ware , nnd was In the negative on both propositions. The report characterized the llrst section as dogmatic , nnd a question which demanded a critical exegesis of certain passages in the now tosta- hiont. A careful oxcpisus and historical re view. In the opinion of the committee , did not Justify the dogmatic statement that women nerved tlio apostolic church as deaconesses , whoso olllco and "duties were similar to those of deacons. " Passing to the second section the report listed that the question whether It was wlso for the Presbyterian church to give olllclul place and defined duties nnd employment to n class of its members whlchshall bo known as deaconesses was ono of the greatest impor tance to all Presbyterians , nnd was ono which was forcing Itself upon Christians of all denominations. In the opinion of the committco there did not seem to bo the great demand in the church of today for cither deacons or deacon esses , such as existed In the early church , as the matter of caring for the poor aud needy bad been turned over to the stato. The re port also referred in scorching terms to the time honored charge that the poorhouses , asylums and hospitals under charge of the Btato , were hotbeds of crime and vice. In view of the fact that the occupation of the deacon was gone , the commlttoo hcldthut there was no crying need for deaconesses.un- less they expect to assume the responsibilities In those matters which had been transferred to the stato. The report concluded with the following recommendation : " 1. That the first section of the overture bo answered In the ni'gativo. because there Is not sufllclont scriptural and historical war rant for the dogmatic statement that 'women also served the apostolical church as dea conesses. ' "U. That the second section bo also an- Bwcrci'l'.i the negative becnuso It Is too in definite In regard to the duties and ordination of deaconesses. " - . It was moved that tno report bo adopted 5 and sent to the general assembly. x Kov. Uchalhlo argued against the motion on the ground that the ladies were a strong fac tor in church work and should bo shown as tnany courtesies and allowed all the privi leges awarded the men. Uov. 1C V. Atkisson spoke In the same Btraln. Ho said that while there might bo no scriptural authority for deaconesses neither - > / ivaa there any for Sunday schools and ho con- .jjf' * * Bldorod ono as important at the other. The ttr ) adlo § were doing the main part of the work of the church nnd two-thirds of its member ship. There was danger , If they were not recognized that they might KO to churches \vhoro they were given full recognition. Kov. Ware rose to the occasion and made a long argument in support of the report of the committco. Ho stated that ho was not op posed to the idea of having women ordained as deaconesses , but ho thought the idea em bodied in the overture was too narrow. It was certainly desirable to have women In the church , aud ho would bo nlail If the general assembly would send out recom mendations that women bo ordained as teachers , but ho thought there Was no demand for deaconesses , In view o the fact that the task of caring for the sick and needy had boon turned over to the state. Ho referred to the statement In the report that poorhouscs and stuto hospitals were rnero political machines and hot beas of vice , nnd paid that everyone knew of the corruption In tbo poorbouso and the nuarrcls over the du ties of caring for the Inmates. Uov. Asa Loartl called the speaker to tlrao and said ho didn't believe Mr. Ware meant to have It said in the public press that the church had neglected Its stele and turned them over to tha tender mercies of the stato. The debate promised to develop some In teresting features , but the question was Xcallod from several parts of the house and the motion to adopt was carried. When tlio moderator put the question ho characterized the report as unfortunate. Mr. P. L. Porrlno , a deacon In the First Presbyterian church , carne in at this point nnd hold a whispered consultation with Kov. 'John ( Jordan , of tor which the latter addressed the mooting , stating that ho had bean re quested to tender the resignation of Kov. W. J , Harslm as chairman of the commlttoo on homo missions. Mr. Perrino explained that Mr. Hnrsha told him bofora ho went away that ho would not servo again ns chairman of the committee. The resignation was accepted without dis cussion. It was moved that Kev. Laird of Schuyler bo placed on the committco. This precipitated another argument , In which Kov. Ware took the loading nart In opposing any Increase In the number of the committee. The debate continued for pine tlmo but was allowed to subside and Rov. Laird was elected. Kov , Asa Loard of Omaha was elected chairman of the committee on homo missions. The election of commissioners to tha gen eral assembly was next In order. The Omaha presbytery was declared entitled to two min- _ istcrial and two lay delegates. The election resulted as follows : Kov. John Gordon of Omaha , nnd Kov. S. K. Bollovlilo of Wahoo , delegates ; Kov. L. D. Wells of Waterloo , and Rev. J. T. Copley of HInck Hills , alternates. J. N. Taylor of Columbus , and H. N. Dowd of Omaha , lay delegates ; E. H , Girard of Mon roe , nnd J. H. Phoips of Omaha , alternates. At the afternoon session the presbytery ro- colvod and adopted tha report of the committee - too to which the overture frum the general I assembly had been referred with regard to the proposed alterations in the laws of the church. The commlttoo endorsed the plans proK { > sed by the general assembly. The next mooting of tbo presbytery will bo held at t Lyons. On May 2 the presbytery will Install I Kov. C. G. Sterling as pastor of Lowu avenue - nuo church. They Got it of ( Bourse. * Jim ! oh Jim I I say , Jim I Youp comln' , mam ; what's cr matter !

CHANCE IN ITS MANAGEMENT , Nebraska Fire Insurance Company Bids Good-Byo to Old Stockholders. NEW BLOOD AND MORE CAPITAL. Dimness Scope to ISo Increased Story of the Change Why It llccnmo Necessary lie- OIHuer.H. The old management of the Nebraska In- 81a u ran co company of this city bos retired and a new ono has taken its placo. The retiring members nro the president , ISV Ir. S. U. Johnson ; vlco president , Mr. L. U. ISr .Vllllams . ; secretary and general manager , I. J. Dunn , Qoorgo P. Wright of Council r 31uffs and several others. The stock held by titi .heso men aggregated 009 shares or 109 more ti him a controlling Interest in the concern , tbo capital being $11)0,000. ) Of this amount > U,0X ! ) has been paid up lu cash. The con- [ duration for tlio transfer was , It Is alleged , $34,000 in real estate and the balance in cash. ' 1 'ho transfer was effected through J. M. I. Campbell of Council Bluffs , who was ono f the original stockholders In the concern. As soon as the change was mndo , State A Vuditor 13 en ton made an examination of the b oo Its and expressed himself as satisfied with t tielr condition. The now management Is represented byJ . J. Emmlngor who fills the dual oftlco of , , resident and treasurer. Ho was called u Don by n HER ropresontaol t Ivo and asked for information us regards the condition of the company and the members v vho composed it. Ho saiil that ho was not then prepared to ; lvc the data desired but would bo before the c ; nd of the wool : , at which titno ho would fur- 11 ilsti TIIK UHE with an accurate statement. 11I The company lias had a checkered career , I t has been the subject of considerable talk and , notwithstanding that It has experienced a icvcral radical changes in Its management , i I has continued with the hope of sometime attaining a position which would place It beyond the necessity of suspicious resolu- t 'tons. tt Mr. L. B. Williams , who has boon ono of t .he most energetic members of the company , has 1 irene to Georgia for several vveolts. Mr. S. U. Jounson , the president , who was 1c 1 brmcrly ono of tbo best known of Omaha's capitalistsbut 1c who has now become n resident of California , has been hero for sometime effecting tbo transfer and attending to other business. His reason for retiring frrm tbo company nro that ho has Lcen desirous of con centrating his Interests nearer homo. To do this , bo has gradually boon withdrawing from all bis llnunciul connections In other parts of tbo country. The company was organized In Ib83 , a lumbar of Iowa men takinc the Initlativo iitul Inducing several Omahans to go into tbo undurtaking with them. The leading spirit was II. T. "Ian of Council Bluffs. The company , vas christened the Nebraska and lown In surance company , and S. K. Johnson was elected ' president. The other prominent people connected witti It wore , Gcorgo Wright of Council Bluffs , Matt Goodwin , J. M. Campbell , Frank Johnson and Mr. Kings- wortn. Mr. Hart acted as manager , but bis management was far from being satisfactory , and ho was accordingly retired In-1377. Ho was succeeded by Eli Clayton who , at that time , resided in Iowa. He was a wealthy man and , upon assuming the duties of his of- tlco , became the owner , it Is thought , of about thlrty-throo sharuj of stock * At this time also , Mr. L. B. Williams became a member of the company. Mr. Clayton continued until 18S9 , when ho was succeeded by Mr. M. J. llurns , formerly of Chicago. The latter becama secretary and general manager and acquired it is believed , the stock of his predecessor , The name of the company nt this tnno was changed to the Nebraska insurance company. Mr. Burns had long been identified with insurance and did n great deal of work dur ing the time ho was in charge of the oftlco. Shortly after bis assuming charge , so mo of the stockholders became impressed with the idea that the stock of the concern should bo increased to f 200,000. The increase , however , was not consented to by othr members and the matter was cut sbort by the change in the management which has been notod. When it became known that a change was contemplated , several capitalists in the city endeavored to obtain control of the concern. Some of these wished to take part of the stock of the members who wished to sell and yet retain thorn in the com pany. But the nttsmpt was unsuccessful , the present management agreeing to take all the stook of the retiring people and allowing them to got out. The president , J. B. Emmlngor , has resided - sided in this city for the past two or three years , having boon engaged In tlio real estate business. Ho claims to have had llftcen years' experience In the Insurance work and it Is known that in Da kota ho represented several lire insurance companies , making his headquarters at Sioux Falls. Ho says the company proposes to in crease its capital stock to $200,000 paid up. This would enable it to do business in other states Instead of being con fined , as it is now , to Nebraska. Ho also claims that some responsible men are behind the organi zation ana that It will push forward and make up for lost time , If any time there has been lost. So far as known or believed the loading scockholanrs in the concern are Messrs. Emmlngor , Klngsworth of Sioux City , Patterson of Council Bluffs , J. M. Campbell of the same place and Mr. Uidllng , the now secretary of the concern , A prominent member of the old directory of the Nebraska insurance company , not now a resident of this city , said yesterday to a reporter : "All the troubles of the companyhavo been duo to cut-throat competition inaugurated by an eastern rival. "With the purpose of crushing out the homo companies throughout the west the Phanlx lire insurance company of New York began taking the notes of farmers for premiums instead of asking cash payment as had boon tbo custom. This was seven years ago , a year after the organization of the Nebraska in surance company. Our company up to that tlmo had done a fine business and moro than justified the most sanguine expectations of Its promoters. In order to remain In tbo Held , however , wo wore obliged to moot the competition of the Phoenix and take- notes in payraont of premiums. But while wo teen notes for our premiums wo were obliged to pay our ncents their commission in cash so that for every 3100,000 In farmers' notes we paid out &oOUO In cash. When the notes became - came duo they were not paid and could only be collected at the end of a law suit. Tbo Nebraska law compelled us to bring .suit in every Instance in the township in which the promisor lived , and as the notes were almost universally for small amounts it would cost us as much to collect them as they were worth. Then , too , a great many of the notes , as wo afterwards learned , were bogus. Although wo baa our own authorized agents in the principal towns of the state , there were a lot of scalpers who filled out applica tions and sent us notes signed with fictitious names. On these wo allowed tbo usual cash commission and never discovered the fraud until wo undertook to make a collection. Ol course these men were liable to arrest , but It was very difficult to catch them. A man would otio week bo doing business In some town in Nebraska under the name of John Wilson , and the next would bo working the same schema on a Colorado company by send ing in premiums in that state under the name of Henry Hurdloatlno. "This condition of affairs kept eating largo holes into the treasury , and wo were once forced to offer $100,000 worth of notes for 810,000 , with no takers. During the first year wo did $170,000 worth of legitimate , paying business , but were 11 n ally forced to tlio wall. When the sale was made to Em- mlnsborg & Co. wo bad sorted out 07,000 worth of notes which wo considered good. " DoWltt's Littloonrly Ulsora : only pill to euro sick headache ana regulate the bowols.

FOWLER'S ' GRAIN ELEVATOR , The Plans Completed and Baady to Oom- meuca Building at au Early Day. FAITH IN OMAHA AS A GRAIN MARKET. Socdinjj for Small Grain Completed and the Acroafjo Imi'Kor Thuit Umial FnrmcrH Now for Corn. It is now fully settled that Omaha Is to iavo a now grain clev.itor and It' will bo ono of tno most complete west of the Mlssour I river. It will ho built by the Fowler eleva tor company and will bo located adjacent to their old house. The plans are all completed and they are ready to commence work on the building now but It Is thought best to hold off for a few weeks yet as they will still have ainplo time to complete It In tlmo to ban- dlo the present crop. The plans call for an elevator of a million bushels capacity , but all the storage room will not bo built at the start. They will first build the main part of tlio elevator with n handling capacity of 100 cars of grain in and out per day , and a storage capacity of a half- million bushels. The additional storage room will bo added as the volume of business may require. Tlio old Fowler elevator has a capa city of 200,000 bushels. In its arrangement and in the way of con veniences for handling grain the now elevator vator will bo ono of the most complete to ho found in the country. The loaded cars will ho run m under cover nnd the grain elevated by machinery into the upper part of the house and dumped Into a bin , whcro it will bo weighed , and from the scales it can bo dropped through the cleaning mills and back Into a car. There will ho two sots of scales ana the machinery will hose so arranged that a car can bo load out at the same time ono is being un loaded. Electric bolls will bo provided so ni to save the time of the men employed. When a car Is unloaded the man at tno car can sig nal the ono on the top lloor and ho can at once weigh the gram and prepare for the next car. Meanwhile another car can bo pulled up nnd tho. operation or unloading commenced without delay. With the pro posed arrangement it will bo possible to un load a car of grain and reload again in liftecn minutes. Between fifty and sixty thousand dollars will bo expended in this enterprise this summer. Mr. Fowler Is very enthusiastic over the outlook for a grain market at Omaha nnd the fact that ho Is prepared to Invest money in It shows that ho is sincere in what he says. Sneaking of Omaha's future ho remarked : "I beliovothat wo will have otio of the best grain markets in the country and that it will ' bo much larger and of moro' importance than people generally anticipate. The fact is the publio at largo does not appreciate the im portance of the warehouse bill and the hono- tlts that will accrue to ( ho city and country. I have already received a number of letters from points In Alabama , Tennessee and other soutnern points , expressing a dcsiro to buy gram direct from Omaha so soon as things hero should bo In slmpo to handle their business. This trade can bo reached from Omaha fully as well or bettor than from Chicago. " _ Tlio Crop Prospects. The present crop prospects in Nobrasita are excellent. Information carefully col lected by an army of corres pandcnts shows an increase of 20 par cent in the average of oats in the eastern part of the state. A great deal moro sprl ng wheat has boon put In the ground tLan usual and moro winter wheat was sown as t fall than eyor before , so that the crop of small grain promises to bo the largest in the history of the state. Tba work of Heeding wheat and oats l.i practically completed and the farmers are now commencing to plow for corn. The In dications now point to an unusually largj average of corn. _ For nearly half a century Ayer's Chorrv Pectoral haa been the most popular cou-jti remedy in the world. The constantly in creasing demand for this remedy proves it to bo the very best specitlc for colds , cougl.s , and all diseases of the throat and lungs. Conf'oHHcd Judgment. I'aclflc Short Line affairs have nt last reached the courts of Douglas county nnd a judgment against the Wyoming-Pacific iin- provomcnt company , n side Usuo of the Short Line company , has been recorded in t'jo clerk's ofllco.
