IJNCOLN, Sept. 21 BpclaL) If the
opinion o" number of ministers of Lin
coln Is the opinion of the people of Lin
coln now and hereafter there will be no
more churchee erected In this treat relig-
' I'.ua city. . The Idea of the formation of a
rellfloue trust has been growing for many
montlj ahd on next Monday the Ministerial
association will hold a meeting at which
time It is expected the matter will come
V H, and probably an Ironclad agreement
will be made whereby the small church
and . the , small preacher will become
thins; of 'the past.
All this will be done In the Interest of
the people and In keeping with the times.
Lincoln has at iitO-Mit In the neighbor
hood jf -flfty-lx church organisations of
all classes tnJ slses of membership. The
Idea Is to cut down the number of churches
and consequently the number of pastors.
which, while i Is not mentioned, would
Incidentally Increase the salary of those
calle'd to remain In charge of the united
churches. One minister said
"Everything . today . is tending toward
consolidation and federation, and it is In
keeping, with the progress of the day that
the churches unite that they, may become
stronger and therefore more beneficial to
mankind. 1 The Idea of the Ministerial as
sociation Is that ws recommend that the
smaller churches In the same neighbor
hood unite and the other religious organ
isations agree to keep out of that particu
lar neighborhood with their churches, In
stead, giving what encouragement and help
they can toward building up and strength
ening the united - church already built,
which of course would be In a central por-
tlon of . some neighborhood. A union of
this kind would take a burden from the
people that they are now working under
In that It would not be as expensive to
keep up the one church. It would be of
benefit to churchgoers because better
preachers could be employed and better
organisations could be effected.
Borne Are Objeetlaaj,
The efforts to consolidate the churches Is
considerably discussed because it la be
lleved a move of the same kind is being
ouletly worked up by a number of people
who are endeavoring to get a monopoly of
the charity business. There is an organ!
atlon here known as the City Charity as
soctatlon. which has a downtown office
and a salaried president or secretary who
looks after the wants of the needy. Some
believe there will be too much red tape
about the religious affairs of the city like
there is about the dispensation of charity
should the preachers succeed In their ef
forts. Recently a woman cams to town pen
nlless and wanted 40 cents with which to
pay her railroad fare to the home of her
parents. It is said she waited two days
and mors while the association investigated
as to whether she was worthy.
In days gone by Rev. Howe, an aged mln
later, looked after the poor and every year
one cltlsen of the town gave nira a car
load of flour for, distribution. He kept
no books and give no account of the money
collected and there was never a word said
asalnst hlra or hie methods. Then along
came the Idea of the charity association
had been cautioned to say nothing deroga
tory to the management of the home.
Bumming up the results of his Investiga
tion, Father Reusing says:

Old People's Social.
YORK, Neb., Bept. (Special.) One of
the rrgulnr annual events looked forward
to, especially by the old people of York and
vicinity. Is the 8unet social, which will
be held In the church parlors of the Meth
odist church on Thursday, October 1, In
the sfternoon from i o'clock to 6. An Invi
tation Is extended to all the old people of
70 years old or over and only those who
are over 70 are eligible, except where there
Is a married couple and either husband or
wife has reached the age of 70. At these
meetings a musical entertainment Is pro
vided and a program Is given of several
short addresses by the old people, among
whom are pioneers who tell moat Inter
esting history of the early settlement of
this county. A fine lunch Is served and a
good social time enjoyed, which Is long
remembered by them and they look forward
to each meeting, with great pleasure. .
tnent of the home. Rev. Helner at first
sgreed to this, but later changed his mind
The report of thla committee was never
published. Rev. Helner Is at present out
of the city, but at that time he denied em
phatically Ill-treatment of the Inmates, and
of the Inmates taken before the investigat
ing committee none of them told stories of
mistreatment. It was the belief of Rev.
Helner then that the charity organisation
was merely attempting to get charge of the
home, and thus begin the consolidation of
all charitable Institutions under one head,
Proceedings are to be started by the at
torney general at the suggestion of the
governor.
Price ea a Political Mlssloa.
W. B. Price, a bellgerant democrat who
bellevee that the democratic party should
have just as much say as Mr. Bryan in
naming the next democratic candidate for
the presidency and In making the next na
tlonal platform, left for New York City
this afternoon, and while there he will
hobnob with the powers that be in regard
to the next national convention.
Whether ha had been sent for Mr. Price
would not say, and neither would he dls
cuss what report he would make to the
powers that be. Mr. Price wants to go to
the next convention as a delegate from
thla place, and Mr. Bryaa Just as firmly
wants hl.n to remain at home, and It Is
generally believed that the trip to New
York just at this time has something to
do with this fight now being fashioned.
Price Is perfectly willing that Bryan
shou'.d head the Nebraska delegation to
the convention, and he la perfectly willing
that he control It to a certain extent.
Price however declares that If the conven
tion turns down Mr. Bryan and hla Ideaa
he will go with the convention. Conse
quently it is hard to understand why Mr.
Bryan haa taken a atand against Price aa
a delegate. The only plausible reason Is
that If the convention does not name a
Bryan candidate and a Bryan platform
the late presidential candidate wants to
have at hla back a delegation that will
follow his lead from the convention hall.
In the meantime both factions of the
democratlo party are lining lip for one of
the hottest fights ever held In the county,
and just as soon aa the coming election
la over the fight will begin. The Bryan
faction Is led by Tom World and the other
faction is led by Price and J. H. Harley,
both of whom want to be delegates.

The conference proper was called to or

Andrews of New York. After formal open
ing exercises the venerable bishop extended
a few brief words of congratulation and ad
vice to the clergymen. The sacrament of

Attendance la Large.
On the roll call by Rev. J. B. Priest of
Randolph, ninety-three clergymen answered
to their names. A number more came in
on the morning trains increasing the at
tendance to about 120. There are also a
number of visiting clergymen connected
with the various departments of the church
present. The conference organized with
the selection of Rev. J. B. Priest of Ran
dolph as secretary and Revs. W. A.
Romnlne of Allen, A. B. Mlckel of Omaha
and O. B. Warner of North Bend as as
sistants. Rev. J. P. Yost of Bt. Paul was
chosen statistical secretary and Dr. O. A.
Luce of Columbus aa treasurer. The vis
iting clergymen were, then Introduced and
addressed a few words to the conference.
Dr. W. P. Thlrkleld of Cincinnati, who Is
connected with the work of the church In
the south and among the colored popula
tion, spoke briefly of the colored question
which he considered one of the most 1m
portant before the nation today. A solution
of it, he said, devolved largely upon the
churchea and the question Is not so much
what will we do with the negro, but what
will he do with us if he be not educated
and redeemed to the higher llfeT
A resolution was Introduced by Dr. Mar
quette that the conference take action In
regard to the suitable recognition of the
semi-centennial of the beginning of Meth
odlsm In Nebraska, which occurs early next
year. Dr. William Oorst and Revs
E. 8. Leedom and D. C. Wlnshlp were ap

State Board Has No Aatherlty.
The Btate Board of Health haa no legal
right to compel the packing houses of
South Omaha to get rid of their waste
water by other means than sending it down
through a portion of the town to the Little

have to appeal to the courts for relief as
the state board had no authority to abate

The matter was brought to tha attention
of the board by the South Omaha Improve

waste from the parking houses was sent
through open ditches through a portion of
the residence part of town and then
emptied Into the Little Papplo, where It
rendered that water unfit for use by stock.
