R la Outlined by the Nebraska Society far the Promotion anal Improve. ment ef Religious Education. Ob the 5th and Cth of hut April a holy of Christian ministers and lay men met in the parlors of the First Congregational church of Lincoln. The call for this religious conference waa lowed by E. Benjamin Andrews, W. F. Dana and B. L. Hiaman on behalf of the Ualvereity of Nebraska, and by B. M. Long, H. O. Rowlands and M. A. Bullock on behalf of the Lincoln Pas tore' association. The result was a fair attendance and a, most interesting discussion. A permanent organization was made by the election of Prof. Charles Fordyce, Wesleyan university, as president; T. M. Hodgman, University of Nebraska, secretary, and a board of managers Chancellor ILB. Andrews, N. M.JIann, Omaha; President George Sutherland, Grand Inland college; W. G. Whit more. Valley, and Prof. A. B. Fair child, Doane college. At ft session of the officers and man agers held Aril 11 it was decided, among other matters, to call the or ganisation "The Nebraska Society for the Promotion and Improvement of Re ligious Education," and the committee whose names are signed to this arti cle waa Instructed to prepare an ad dress setting forth the origin and im mediate purposes of the society. The names of the men who initiated and who are carrying on this move ment ire a sufficient guarantee that it is non-sectarian but wholly Chris tian. In a modest way the society aspires to do its share in laying the foundations of faith broader and deeper. Unaided, this society can do little, but with the cordial cooperation of the religious leaders in Omaha, Grand Island. Hastings and Beatrice it is hoped to hold district conferences In these centers during the fall and win ter. A splendid opportunity for the agitation of the topics below is pre sented to the many denominational gatherings that occur this summer. We appeal to those having these pro grams in charge to provide a place for the discussion of some of the top ics about to be stated. The secretary will be grateful if the best of these papers are sent him. To a limited ex tent the society can furnish speakers if request is made to the secretary. In the judgment of the society the best results will come by concentrat ing attention this year upon the ad mitted decay of parental religious in struction and the query as to whether bible school teaching in its present condition is a full equivalent To what is this decay due? Is it a dimming of faith? Are the exac tions of society and business robbing the religious life? Is confusion of thought arising from the wider dis semination of agnostic literature? Does the breaking down of denomina tional barriers undermine the convic tions of the Individual? Is it a nat ural timidity incident to the loss of the habit of religious meditation and self-analysis Induced by the old cate chising system? Or is it another il lustration of the modern spirit of spe cialisation whereby the parent delib erately commits the religious training of his child to the supposedly better equipped bible school teacher? Upon the last point there is in the minds of careful observers a grave doubt as to whether the confidence of the parent is not-misplaced. What are the reasons for the weakness of the bible school instruction? Why do the young men and women so easily drop out of the Sunday school? Admitting that the great burden of religious training rests upon the bible school, does it not behoove us to the remedy? A great looseness of the remedy? A great looseness of in religious thought, a fatal flabbiness in religious conviction characterize our young people. There is reform de manded somewhere. Other states are awakening to this fact.

WMY THE SCAilCiTY PREVAILS OM Stocks Almost Exhausted ami Now Importation. Insufficient For mor Supply Finale Other Market Short on Cattle Supply. WASHINGTON, July 18. Consul General Mason at Frankfort reports to the state department the text of the regulations governing the meat in spection laws of Germany, which is of vital Interest to meat packers of this country. After a thorough discussion of the various paragraphs of the bill relating to the Importation of meats and meat producing animals into Ger many, Consul General Mason says: "Although the principal features of the law have long been made familiar through consular and press reports, a brief resume of some of Its more Im portant provisions, especially those which will affect the Importation of meats and animals, may be of present Interest. Under paragraph 12, fresh moats can only be imported in whole carcasses. Carcasses of cattle and hogs, hat not of calves, are to be left together and accompanied in all cases by the head, lungs, heart and kidneys. Cow beef must have the udder attach ed and carcasses of pork must include the tongue. Excepting hams, bacon and intestines, no piece of pickled, smoked.or otherwise preserved meat weighing less than 8.8 pounds may be imported into Germany. When to all this is added the prohibition of meats preserved with borax or boracic acid, or with any of several other anti septic salts, it will be evident that the net effect of the new system will be to more or less diminish the supply and increase the cost of meats for consumption in this country. Already some premonitory symptoms of such influence are noticed. "The Berliner Tageblatt makes the following comment: 'The meat in spection law throws its shadow be forea meat famine is in sight. Old stocks of preserved meats have become exhausted, and the countries which for merly supplied Germany with meats have for the most part found other markets, and our import of cattle and fresh meats is steadily diminishing. Hamburg and Berlin have this week enjoyed a foretaste of what will hap pen when the meat inspection law shall have entered Into full force. It oc curred at Hamburg on Saturday, June 14, that many butchers had no beef to sell because Denmark had sent very few cattle and because the rest of Ger many and Austria had furnished only a meagre supply for part of the week. Berlin had to pay on Saturday at the cattle market, for the few available animals that were to be had, actual famine prices."' WAITS FOR THE CORONATION.

New Premier Presides at the First Meeting of the New Cabinet LONDON, July 18. The premier, A. J. Balfour, presided ia the foreign office at the first cabinet meeting of the new administration. The colonial secretary, Joseph Chamberlain, was sufficiently recov ered from the effects of the cab acci dent to be able to attend. He was pale, but otherwise showed no signs of his injuries. The meeting of the cabinet gave fresh impetus to the reconstruction reports. The most interesting of these for America is the suggestion, that the duke of . Marlborough will succeed Lord Curzon of Kendleston as viceroy of India, but there is not the least possibility of any such ap pointment! It spears very doubtful If Lord Cur zon" will comeITome beT6felhe ex piration of his term of office. As ft matter of fact, there is no appoint ment which could be offered him, ex cept the foreign office, which would be a promotion from the vlceroyalty of India, and there Is no indication that Lord Lansdowne has any inten tion of retiring.

WTMTY AGAIN IS THE OMEB iwHMitae Quantities of Freight Ruoh ed Out by the Wholesale Merchants oirtlmatc4 Cert of the Strike ia Tom Million Dollars. CHICAGO, July 17. Renewed activ ity on the part of Chicago business smb followed the settlement of the freight handlers' and teamsters' strike yesterday and at the close of business hoars thousands of tons of freight had beea sent to and from the various freight depots. Every one of tke 24. 09 who could obtain employment had returned to work by 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The strike, it Is estimated, cost the business men of Chicago $10, OO.vOO and in order to guard against a contingency in the future they are preparing to inaugurate an educa tional campaign in opposition to the sympathetic strike. The labor unions will be asked to forego the use of this impotent weapon. Business interests which suffered during the strike will Join in. pledging themselves, it is said, not to1 sign union agreements which do not guard them against these strikes. On the other hand the labor unions are fighting to secure the right to ah rogate agreements for the purpose of ordering sympathetic strikes. ; The freight handlers blame the na- tlonal officers of the teamsters for the loss of the strike. They declare that; the strike shows the necessity for in-, corporating in all agreements a re-' nervation which will permit strikes. Credit for the settlement rests with, the state board of arbitration. It was the adoption of the suggestion of that' board which led to the action of the freight handlers' union in declaring1 the struggle with the railroads at an end. At the same time it is probable that even had the state board not made its' suggestions, the fight would have been practically over today, as the major ity of the freight handlers had re turned to work beore the mass meet ing at which the strike was called' off officially had convened. It was a knowledge of this fact that had much to do with the action taken by the union. However, the proposition made by the state board of arbitration en-, abled the freight handlers to retire gracefully from the-fieldV MEET DEATH IN UTAH MINE.
