the deep political wisdom of the gov

NUMBER 16.
THEIR WORK FOR THE YEAR.
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. Shall Ne
braska lag behind?

A FAMINE IN MEAT
GERMANY GETTING FORETASTE
OF THE PROBABLE FUTURE.
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.

Until Time for the Event.
LONDON, July 18. The reports re

understood that other foreign coun
tries will also be represented.
The royal yacht will, it is under
stood, remain off Cowes about a fort
night if the weather continues fine
and the king may then take a trip
down the channel. The doctors are
anxious that their patient shall not
be occasioned the slightest discomfort
or inconvenience, and instructions
have been issued to skippers and pi
lots navigating vessels through the
Solent to slow down when passing
the Victoria and Albert in order to
prevent unnecessary oscillation.

Maine Makes Trial Trip.
PHILADELPHIA, July 18. The new
battleship Maine, built by the Cramps
to replace the ill-fated Maine, returned
after a satisfactory builders -trial at
sea. The new war vessel proved itself
to be a very speedy ship for its size,
it averaging 18.29 knots an hour over a
measured course. Its contract calls for
a speed of thirteen knots. In a pre
liminary run the Maine for thirty min
utes ran at the rate of 18.90 knots an

COLUMBUS. NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY. JULY 23. 1902
BALFOUR IS IN THE CHAIR.
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.
DREAM OF CECIL RHODES.
Before Many Years Opening Up of
Dark Continent by Rail.
WASHINGTON, July 18. Before
many years the world may be aston-;
ished to find that the long fostered?
dream of the late Cecil Rhodes for,
the oenlng up of the Dark Continent'
has become a reality, and that a con
secutlve line of steel rails wll
stretch from Cairo to Cape Town.;
The state department made public to-
day an interesting report on railroad1
development In Africa from United"
States Consul Ravendal, at Beirutj
bearing date of May 10. The consul
says that by an agreement signed atj
Brussels the previous month by Rob-,
ert Williams with the king of the,
Belgians the German route was aban-j
doned and the railway from Cairo to'
the cape is to be carried through the
Congo Free State to the upper wat-,
ers of the Nile. From Stanley Falls1
on the upper Congo a railroad is to
be built to Mahagi on Lake Albert
Nyanza, and this connection will sup
ply the missing link between the cape'
and Egyptian railways.

satisfactorily, neither party at today's
conference had any statement to make
as to what took place.
Mr. Corea and Mr. Calve, represent
ing Nicaragua and Costa Rica, had,
long interviews with Secretary Hay.
on the canal question. They have not
abandoned hope that the choice of a
route will yet revert to Nicaragua.

for the Purpose Received.
VENICE, Italy, July 18. Offers of
money to aid in rebuilding the cam
panile continue to be received from)
abroad, including offers from Ameri
ca, but there is a disposition to make,
its reconstruction a purely national'
affair and to rebuild the structure'

without foreign assistance. The cost
is estimated at 6,000,000 lire.
The bronze gate of the Logetta of
San Sovino was found beneath the
debris, twisted and with one of the.

CHICAGO, July 17. Renewed activ

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.

preparing to inaugurate an educa

The labor unions will be asked to

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.

Twelve-Hundred-Foot Level.
PARK CITY. Utah. July 17. Two,
powder magazines at the 1,200-foot
level of the Daly-West mine exploded
about 1 o'clock this morning, causing
a loss of life that at present cannot
be estimated nor even guessed at-

been taken out of the mine dead and
several others had been recovered in
a half-dazen condition. These were
all brought out through the Ontario,
mine shaft, which is a mile distant

PARK CITY, Utah, July 17. Thirty-five
miners were killed in the Daly
