REV. SAVIDGE RETURNS HOME

I II til I'll' Will llntc no I'.ircct on
I'rupoM'd Cliin-cli.
Itev. Charles W. Savldgo. pastor of the
People's church, arrived home yesterday
from Spokane, Wash., where ho has been
In conferenro with Itev. W. II. Melnturff
relative to the proposed building of u new
church edltlco in this city. Itev. Savldgo
talks freely about the misunderstanding
that arose between him and Hcv. Melnturff,
and declares that ho has no 111 will against
the Spokane minister, although ho does not
feel that he has been properly treated. It
had been agreed that Itev. Savldgo and
Rev. Melnturff. both engaged In a similar
lino of work. Hhould unite In building up
a non-sectailan church In Omaha, the
groundwork of which Hcv. Savldge had be
gun some months njo.
While Hcv. Mclnturlf was In Omaha last
winter, ho was tho guest of Hcv. Savldge
and was widely Introduced by him. Their
co-operative plan met with popular favor
and contributions came in rapidly. Option
was secured on a prominent piece of real
estate and the plans wero materializing In
a gratifying manner when a woman whose
name lfas not been made public complained
to Mr. Savldgo that Mr. Melnturff had bor
rowed $700 from her and that he had not
made proper representation to her ns to the
note which he gave In return for the money.
Her. Savldge took the matter up nnd that
led to the rupture.
Hev. Savldgo briefly states his position
to be that of one who discountenances any
thing that smacks of misrepresentation and
he feels. It incumbent upon himself to
bring about adjustment If possible. Ills
conference with Hcv. Melnturff. however,
was unsatisfactory and tho tangle Is now
uo nearer a peaceful solution than It was
beforo tho attempt was made. Hov. Savldge
now has no clearly defined plan of action
with reference to the disputed financial
transaction, but It Is understood that It will
In nowise Interfere with the consummation
of the plans for building a new people's
church In Omaha nlong the plan originally
adopted by Hev. Savldge. Hev. Melnturff
will, of course, have no pnrt In It. Tho
money ho borrowed from the woman, who
Is dissatisfied with the security, was to
havo been used for the church work. Hev.
Melnturff preached here last winter In Hev.
Bavldgo's church nnd made quite an Impres
sion as a worker nnd nn orator. An unfor
tunate feature of Hev. Savldge's trip to
Spokano was the fact that Hev. Melnturff
made'a personal attack upon him from the
pulpit, charging among other things that
Hev. Savldgo Is on terms of close communion
with gamblers and other wicked characters.
This accusation came through the fact that
Hev. Savldge makes It a point to look after
the welfnro of worldly men and It Is his be
lief that a minister cannot be contaminated
by association. While in Spokane Hov.
Savldge visited a, former well known Omaha
gambler nnd Hev. Melnturff took occasion to
uso tho fact in his nttack.

The debato resulting In this action was

Sol Star, tho perpetual mayor of Dead

ticed law In the Hlack Hills since tho days
when Harney's peak was a kopje, aud
Messrs. Shnw and Hlngrose, who have been
In business at Dcadwood since . the time
It was openctl, all of them well developed
republicans, were In Omaha last night on
their way homo from the South Dakota re
publican convention, which adjourned at
Sioux falls yesterday morning. All were
In excellent spirits over the result of the
gathering, which they say was more like an
oltl-fnshloiieil Methodist love feast than a
political convention. South Dakota repub
licans are In tho saddle again this year and
aro out to win.
"We havo nominated the best ticket the
party .has put up In years," said Major Ilul
lock last night, "nnd wo will elect It as smo
as tho day for election arrives. The party
In South Dakota wns never In bettor shape
for a fight than It Is right now, and every
time Frank Pettlgrow makes u speech In
the senate attacking tho president nnd the
nrmy ho makes votes for the republican
ticket."
"Eben V. Martin will add a lot of
strength to the ticket," said Mr. Kowler In
commenting on tho convention's work. Mr.
Kowler was a member of the platform com
mittee at Sioux Falls. "We endorsed the
St. Loul3 platform and the course of tho ad
ministration, anil did It In tho most frank
and hearty manner. South Dakota Is com
ing back Into line this year. Wc have had
enough of populism nnd Hryanlsm up there
and will show It by our votes."
Messrs. Rlngroso and Shaw expressed
themselves ns highly pleased with tho work
of the convention, especially tho nomination
of Eben W. Martin, the Hlack Hills candi
date for congressman nt large.
