One hundred thousand members of the
central Missouri Valley district of the Meth
odist Episcopal church were last night rep
resented by the presiding elders of the
respective districts at a testimonial banquet
given to Bishop Newman and the presiding
eldere of the central Missouri valley b } the
editorial otaff of the Omaha Christian Ad
vocate at the Paxton hotel. About a score
of the clergy and their wives partook of
an elaborate banquet , after which Rev J
W. Shank , editor of the Omaha ChrUjtlan
Advocate opened the post-prandial excr-
clsee. He said
There art Home people who ran never
be forgotten nnd one of the * " 1 our puest
of honor this evening 1 remember inanv
> ears ago of attending a revli al service led
l > v n brilliant } uunp preacner who - < eemeJ
to electrify the people Itwas nt this
w-rvici that the last three of m.v lather's
famll } were converted , nnd of that family
1 was the } ounpcst.
The speaker then hrleQ } traced the career
of Bishop Newman from that time , calling
attention to his pastoral duties to General
Grant and to the present president of the
country He assured the guest of a hearty
welcome whenever he visited Omaha , even
though his rtildeuce had been removed to
the Pacific coast
Rev J B Maxfleld delivered , by proxy ,
an eloquent address of welcome to the guest
of the evening , paying a most magnificent
tribute to his man } deeds of goodness
"The Early Days of Methodism in the-
Central Missouri Valley. " was the Ktibject
assigned to Rev Dr H T Davis of Lin
coln , who came to Nebraska in 1S30 He
crowed the Missouri river at the site of old
Tort Kearne } aud after some time pushed
out to the Pacific const meeting no white
men except an occasional trader In lb5S
he returned to Nebraska , and began prearh-
ing He was the secretar } of the first Metho
dist conference held In thfe part of the
countr } He had seen the Methodist church
in Nebraska grow from 700 to over HO.OOO
members , and from thirteen to 700 preachers
and he believed Methodism hereabout * was
flUll in Its Infancy
OMHA IS THE PLACE.
Dr T McKay Btuart , presiding elder of
the Charlton district. Des Molnes conference
said he believed Omaha would not enl } be
come the great commercial center of this
portion of the west but that it would be
come the center of Methodism for the cen
tral Missouri valle } . He thought the dis
trict to be comprehended should be all with
in a radius of 150 milco of Omaha At one
time ho had thought that Dee Jlolne' * should
bo the center of Methodism for this district ,
but he had become convinced that Omaha
would soon be a large and magnificent cit }
and that it was the proper place not only
for the publlcatlou of a church paper , but
for a book repository a branch of the Metho
dist Book Concern for the west He was
willing to aid In bringing such an enterprt = e
here , and had alread } suggested the mat
ter to the committee In charge of the book
concern
"Tho Presiding Elder and Our Educational
Work" was the toast responded to by Dr
Holmes of the Des Moincs conference He
agreed with the statement once made by
ex-IYftMdent Walker of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology that a faculty coula
do its best work when It hud not more thaji
2"iO students and when the roll of a college
ohould be lengthened beyond that number
that another faculty should be added
Dr Peter Van Fleet of Nebraska City
conference spoke briefly of the periodical
literature of the church and gave especial
attention to the Christian Advocate , the
church organ published here He praised
the paper high ! } , and declared It was well
adapted to the soil and the climate of Ne
braska Iowa MJrsourl , Kansas , Colorado
and the Dakotns.
The toa.-itmaster In Introducing Bishop
New man- said the Omaha Christian Advocate
could not possibly have reached its present
stage of progress had It not been for the
assistance of Bishop Newman
BISHOP NEWMAN'S TRINITY.
Bishop Newman spoke very briefly on ac
count of the lateness of the hour He said
there were thiee great incidents In his life
that he wns fond of recalling The first of
these was the trip he made down * outh In
war times for the purpose of reorganizing
the Methodist church and of extending the
right hand of fellowship to the freedmen
of the south The second incident he be
lieved of great importance in his life's work
was the organization of the great Metropoli
tan church at the notion's capital He re
called with corslderable pleasure the fact
that he had organized this church and -had
there preached to such men as Grant , Chaos ,
Gresham and hundreds of prominent sena
tors and congressmen To McKinley he had
preached while In Albany , and the fact had
since been recalled at their meeting "Mc-
Kinlev's a great man too. I'll tell you , '
added the venerable bishop , and his remark
was loudly applauded He said that he be
lieved that the man who would preach to
Pres'dent McKinley In the Metropolitan
church would come from the west but he
did not rare to suggest hip name In public
The third incident in the tr'nlty ' of his life
Bishop Newman said , was his coming to
Omaha and building the Fin = > t Methodiat
church. He said he was proud of Omaha
He had lived here eight years and the citi
zens an-d the newspapers had alwavs fhown
him all the rtnpect he had deserved He
regretted tint the itineracy of the eplsropary
had made It necessary for him to leave
Omaha He intended to preach the goopel
forever. After his death he would preach
It by the preachers educated throi-sh his
ten free scholarships In Drew Theological
seminary. He was glad to sav that the
first of these had come fiom Nebraska and
from Omaha

CHICAGO , Aug. : . The price of Sep
tember wheat was advanced exactly 6 cents
today , September closing at Mcents. . It
Hold as high ne 97 cents. At the name Umo
December advanced 3 cents to 3U cents ,
Rolling at one time a cent above that flgute.
The statements that the bull clique WUB
still holding on to its September wheat was
made painfully apparent They "stood pat"
on their holding today , little or none being
ottered for E .le , and us the crowd began to
appreciate that fact the price went up by
lrap < and bounds. September sold as low
as S2H : cents earl } In the session. Decem
ber however , pot Its strength from outside
news , heavy clearances , strong cables and
bad crop reports being the factors. Not
withstanding the sharp advance business was
Email simply because no wheat could be
bought. Trading In Iron was uuusuall }
heavy and tlu market cloned at an advance
of l % < Efl'/i tents. „

NEW YORK Aug 25 There was a IKXUSC
in the downward movement of wheat prices
today , and nt the bewt point of the sewilon
there was n rise of 4 cents a bushel from } es-
te-clay's close , but this was Etlll Si cents
under the highest .figure of the } car on De
cember
The marl.et started out with bulls In con-
tiol and o spirited competition for wheat be
tween local shorts and continental houses
Prices ran up to H8 cents on this bulge
against DoVt cents last night , but on a suc
ceeding cloud of eelllng In realizing on short
account dipped to ! GU cents , from w hlch It
rcfle stcadilv , reaching " > % centlu the early
afternoon , ou good all around buvlng , led b }
Chicago Local speculation roused Into pro
nounced nctivlt } several times during the
dnv. notablv at the opening Jmt us was the
case yesterday , there was llttla or no fever
ish excitement m the pit
The big bulls w ho engineered the recent
advance were all understood to have secured
their profit * end vacated the market In favor
of the smaller operutors who , 'while ' likewise
frlendl } to wheat , were afraid to perstat In
aggressive actions Cable news was bearish ,
with the single exception of Liverpool , which ,
after opening 3d lower , rallied l' @lMd , and
then easing off slightly closed at 2Vi@2d
los * from lust night Paris markets opened
and closed lower the final figures being
37S70 points off on wheat and Cu centimes
to 1 franc lower on flour. Antwerp was 1
point lower for the da } , and Berlin unoffi
cial ! } S marks lower , so that with the ex
ception of early foreign buying and the Liver
pool rally , today's European cable news was
detrimental to confidence on the bull eside
The publication by a prominent American
trade journal of an estimated requirement
of betw een 300,000,000 and 400,000.000 bushels
by Europe this } ar was a confirmation of
the most extreme bullish v lew s on 'change
Near the close the market was firml } sus
tained by rumors that exporters had picked
up something like 800,000 bushels at New
York and outports toda } . Final figures for
the da } were at 2u3 ( ceiite advance over
last night
Sentiment after 'change was rather partial
to the lUll Bide of the Idea that prices
have had a sharp enough break to shake out
E great lot of burdensome long wheat , al
lowing the market to rest on a healthy basis
again Total transactions , upward of 14,000-
000. At the close No. 1 northern New York
was quoted nominally $109 % lob. afloat.
The corn market was active and higher
with wheat , gaining 7u < B 1 per cent for the
day. September ranged from S34 to 347k
cents and closed at 34 % .cents The range
onwheat was from ! I8 to $1.01closing at
