SMALL OMAHA LOSE OLD PASTORS ?
Xlio Need of a General Western Sec
retary In the United Presbyterian
Church An Accident to lllRliop
Fowler.
This \vlll bo an Interesting wcok for the
people of the Methodist church and particu
larly the ministers of the north Nebraska con
ference. On Wednesday next the annual
conference will convene at Wayne aud the
work for the cotnhig year will bo mapped out.
Pastors will bo Bent to their respective
charges for the next term. Bishop Bowman
of St. Louis will probably preside , although
Bishop Newman is expected to arrive homo
in time to attend.
In former years the itcnemoy of the Meth
odist church meant a change of field every
year for all the preachers , but that arrange
ment was finally changed so as to render
It possible for a minister to remain
two years nt a place. Later Itwaso nln
changed to three years and at the last gen
eral conference the time was extended to live
years.
As to how the coining confercncowill affect
the pastors of Omaha , It may bo said that no
one knows absolutely what will happen.
The chances tire , however , thntltov. P. S.
Merrill will bo returned to the First church ,
fllov. C. W. Savidso to the Newman church
\ and Ilov , W. 1C. Deans to Trinity church In
) Kouutzo place. Uov. Mr. Brown may or

lie bos been -xvlth the church for three
years and the church boa experienced a remarkable -
markablo growth In that time , The mem
bers of his congregation think a gre.it deal
of their pastor , but tlio indications are that
ho will bo urped to take up the work In another -
ether Held where ho is much sought after.
There may bo other changes , but until the
conference meets It will bo impossible to pre
dict with any degree of accuracy.
United Presbyterians.
The homo mission work of the United
Presbyterian church has become BO oxten
slvo that two general secretaries can
scarcely cover the ground aud do tbo work
Justice. It is being generally conceded that
the church should have a general western
Herat to give the mission work all his utten
tion. It requires so much time and is a
source of so much expense foi
the secretaries to travel from
the eastern cities to Nebraska
to look up all the details of the work that a
i wise plan , it Is held , would bo to locate u man
' / in the west for that purpose.
The United Presbyterian church has been
qnlto active In the mission work In the west
and the Held Is still rlpo for workers. With
proper encouragement , there are several lo
calities In Omaha that Invite the establish
ment of missions. Lincoln und other cities
also present excellent fields for the homo mis
sion work nnd with n western secretary to
throw Into It all his energy and give U all his
time tbo mission work In Nebraska would no
Joubt txi rewarded with liberal returns.
The Midland criticizes the third party pro
hibltloatsta mildly for the unwise policy of
nominating a ticket this fall and then gives
tbo party n rather keen lashing for failing to
puss u resolution calling upon the managers
of the world's fair to provide for the closing
of the gates on Sunday , The editor of tbe
Midland throws most of tbe blumo upon the
Lancaster couaty delegation.

nro about six hundred Protestant Chinese
converts la Pekiu now. One-fourth of them
are Presbyterians. English is taught In only
ono school , as the blblo has been translated
Into the Pekln dialect. The slow progress
made at first among the Chinese has been
more than counterbalanced by the gratifying
results during the last three years. Ho be

that the "freight transfer department" of
tbo Union Pacific was to bo' removed from

"If wo have a 'freight transfer depart

Few plnccs In tills wonderful west cnn offer

the trip to Griiymout and return by ( i p. in , ,
of the saino day.
The weather was perfect , Se.ited In an
observation car ono had only to accept his
comfortable surroundings to bo happy. The
train slides smoothly over the Hftcen inllos of
beautiful landscape which lies between Den
ver und Golden , a little city nestling among
the foothills.
( Joldcn is built on the bed of an ancient
lake and tbo workshops , the churches , the

From hero the train plunges headlong into
Clear crook canon mill for nearly sixty miles
climbs and circles In this gorge. Nature in
her moat majestlo moods never duplicated
this scene of grandeur this sanctuary of tha
universe , a highway of the gods. Sheer
walls of rock towering to the sky on cither
hand , a mighty torrent foaming at your foot ,
lllliug the glou with wild echoes , wbllo far
above is a hand's bro Uh of bluest sky.
The two grout engines that pull the little
train up the stcop grade , cough with exer
tion as they labor up the roadway of steel
with scarce room for the train bcbldo the
rourinn Hood , ( tocks to thu right of them ,
roc Its to the loft of themroulcs , above and below ,
piles , walls , temples und tempcst-woin battlements -
tlomonts of rock , fantastic llgures and gro
tesque shapes in rock , all standing out In
bold relief.
Anon our train shoots across a mlmatwo
pnilrio as thq great chasm widens in Its
course. A ramp of emigrants uro resting by
the roadside. Over yonder Is a rudu log hut ;
beside It a mother is busy at her wash tub
and out in front , gazing In wonder at the
train is a falr-hulrcd child loaning against a
chair Just learning to walk. I thought how
dwarlcd will the world appear to this child
of the mountains when those llttlo feet ,
grown stronger , will bear him out to the
plainer aspect of nature.
At Forks Creek wo stop for lunch
and here we part company with
ono cugino and a passenger car ,
which departs up a canyon to the right for
Central City and Blackbawk. The grudols
217 feet to the nillo , yet sturdily on wo go to
Idaho Springs , thlrty.elght miles from Den
ver , In that short distance our cngmo has
lifted us 2HO ! feet above the starting point.
Idaho Springs is beautifully located on a
level plateau of ton or fifteen acres. It Is nn
enterprising , picturesque llttlo city and pov
Besses some of the most valuable mineral
springs In Colorado. The springs are both ,
hot and cold , and contain soda , Iron and sul
phur , each separately in a marked degree.
Near this town is a remarkable cave contain
ing a hot spring. This cave in Itself is a nat
ural vapor oath house. The ultltudo of this
place Is 7,510 foot above tbo sea , giving it a
pure. cool , bracing atmosphere and
making Idaho Springs a veritable sanitarium
for consumptives and all persons needing a
equable temperature. Just below the city Is
a plain , unpretentious log cabin , situated fu a
picturesque spot by the splashing stream. It
Is the homo of Fred lluott , the artist , who
furnishes the illustrated papers of Now York
city with western views. The struggling1 en
gine putts and hisses a-s it crosses from sldo
to side of the stream striving to find an
easier way.
Slowly we cover tbo fourteen miles to
Georgetown , -.veil-built city.of1,000 people ,
right in the licnrt of the mountains. It is u
handsome , enterprising city , full of thuuoiso
of industry and the good cheer of a contented
people. From this point wo pas ? directly
over the famous loop built by the grcattlnion
Pacific system. A marvel of engineering
skill. The train passes under the railroad
bridge and after descending nn are of less
than a mile crosses that snmo bridge lOo feet
above the track Mow. On wo go circling
and climbing until wo reach the great 1111
seventy-six feat above tbo bridge. How
slowly wo move. The great engine wheezes
and groans , but the load is too heavy. Slowly
we buck and try again. Thrco times the iron
IIOHO attempts the grade ) , but even sinews
of steel cannot overcome such a grade with
such u lo id.
Slowly wo back down until our careful
engineer can anchor us on a tiip of level road
wliilo ho hurries with part of his train to
Silver Plum , soon to return for those left
behind. It was worth a day of waiting to
view the scene that lay around and below
us. Tho'-o in plain sight were all the curves
of the great loon-a bowkn ot
of railroad tracks in nn "nmphlUic.iter of
mountains and through a great window to the
eastward appeared the city of Georgetown
like a picture of heroic size la a huge rustic
frame. Bat the engine is back , the cheerful
"All aboard ! " sounds , and away wo go
toward Silver Plume , the llttlo mining city
perched on the clifls nearly ten thousand feet
above the sea.
Wo are now ngutintho midst of the gold
mines. Away up the Mdoa of tbo mountains
nro winding ro.ias leading up to the entruiico
to the great mines. Others are so inaccessi
ble , that they can only bo reached by the
burro brigade. Whole strings of thcso pa
tient little aulmnls may bo seen toiling up the
moutaln with sixtcoii-foot fence-boards trail
ing lit their side , six bo mis beluga load for
e.ich burro. Many of the mines are so near
that they can bo reached on foot ,
whilst carriages nro in waiting to carry pur
.sons to more distant ones. Away up near
the snow line is a tall shaft of pure white
tnarblo. It rises out of the top of a gigantic
rock and marks the last resting place of Clif
ford Grillln , aa eccentrlo brother of the own
er of the great 7W ; group of mines. Ho was a
young man who camoirom thu cast for his
health. He lived ulono In n luxuriantly fur
nished cabin , the gift of hh brother. In Ills
wanderings on the mountain young Griflln
used to rest upon this great rock , and became
sn attached to it that ho expressed a wish to
tto burled in Its granite embrace- should any
mishap befall him. One beautiful nioraing
they found him dead in his cabin. In ac-
pordanco with his desire they chiseled hla
g ave In this great rock , and laid him to rest
on the spot ho loved so well. .And there ho
will wait , in hia rock-bound tomb
"Till the sun grows cold und the stars are
old ,
And the loaves of the judgment book un
fold. "
Last year there wore over $3,000,000 worth
ofCgold , silver and copper mined near Silver
I'liuuo. Every Hind of mining the shaft ,
the tunnel , the gulch mining , und oven the
primitive washing of the creek sands nro
represented , and formed a source of Intense
Interest to the eastern visitors. At every
turn you meet children hawking their speci
mens. A cigar box full for a juartor. The
train has returned from Graymont , and with
tired limbs but buoyant spirits wo take
a reluctant leave of the little city of the
mines. There Is no need of two engines now
wo fairly slide down the glistening tracks.
It was my good fortune to bo invited to
share the comforts of a special car with a se
lect company of Kansas newspaper mm and
their wives who wore enjoying the grandeur
that surrounded them as only intelligent per
sons can. They were a company that any
state might feel proud of. Just M we reached
Forks ctixilc canon on our return wo were
given the cheerful information that owing ; tea
a washout wo would bo detained to hours ,
Everybody hustled out in search of
amusement and recreation. Ono dude who
was dressed so loudly that you
could not hear * hls footsteps , rushed
down to the stream and soaked thu roof of his
attic In the Ice-cold flood , Just to show the
company that ho had brains enough touccom-
odaU ) a headache.
A young man with a waxed inustacho and
his viscera held in place by a Gordon
sash , monopolized the back platform with his
arms around the plumpest llttlo partridge-
that over cat cold chicken at a plcnio Whilst
the handsome train boy , catching the sphlt
of the hour , singled out the prettiest girls ho
could secure and with his urim resting on
their fair shoulders , would point out iraagin-
an' faces on the elKT-wallod canyon.
Hut train boy woo to your dream
of delight , the cloud burst was a
myth and tbo train do movo. Wo
glluo swiftly down the darkening gorge to
thomusieof the rushing waters , leaving the

in goodtimo for supper , each ono feeling that
