"Omaha's Grentist N.-.i!'' wan the sub

the First ISaptlut church yoMf-rday morn
ing, lie Hld in part:
"The prophet of old iw the impending
doom whin h" pl ad.'d with God to revive
His work in the mldt of the years. Man
and community left to th.mwlvrs drift
awiiy from the influnc of spiritual power,
though they lie consrious of the strength
of the Almighty. The greatest need of
Omaha is a revival of the Lord's work;
a revival of the word of Hod that takes
hold upon the hrarts and convictions of
men; a revival of hope, prayer, character
and love. There is need of a revival of
religion here. The conditions In Omaha
are not worse than In any other great
city, but we need a revival to lift up the
tone of the public conscience. The great
evil of the social side of our city life is
the drsocratlon of the Sabbath. Infamy
stalks our prlnclptl Ftret's with unspeak
able shame, though not worse here than
elsewhere. Slot machines run openly In
almost every tobacco establishment, de
basing our children and young men as
nurseries of gambling. They are operated
in establishments In some Instances at the
very doors of our schools. If these slot
machines are not gambling machines they
are so very close to It that no one can
draw the lire.
"What Omaha needs Is an awakening of
the public conscience to tak hold upon
the foundations of evil and root them out.
Churches should rise to a Uglier plane.
They need a spiritual awakening and
should pull together in the brotherhood of
Christ and be revived with the touch of
divine Inspiration. Bo not reformed to
this .world; but transformed to another.
He not too absorbed with the things of
this world and leave God out of our reck
onings. We constantly put the world In
some form first. We condone the exercise
of power everywhere except In the church.
Wo need the refinement of God's Influence.
There are 70,000 or 80,000 people In this city
outside of the Influences of the churches.
We should reach out for this mass of the
unsaved. Let us clasp hands and move
forward for the salvation of men through
Jeusu Christ."
MEMORIAL TO LATH DR. WOLF
Grace Lutheran (ongresntlnn Honors
Character of the Dead Leader.
At Grace Lutheran church yesterday
morning thu services wero of a memorial
character, owing to the denth of Rev. Dr.
Edmund Jacob Wolf, president of the gen
eral synod since 1803. Ills death occuned
last Tuesday, January 10, In the Kith year
of bin Hge.- Dr. Wolf had been for thirty
one yiars a professor in the Lutheran Theo-
:otUcal seminary at Gettysburg, Pa., and In
paying tribute to his memory, the pastor,
It. v. M. L. Melick, said today Is being ob
served generally as an occasion of mourn
lug In the churches of the general synod
wherever situated. Scattered throughout
vhe land, In the pulpits of the churches over
-hlch Dr. Wolf had general supervision,
are many ministers who have sat at his
ect in the seminary at Gettysburg, and
he rich Inheritance of his learning and
"lety Is the precloUB possession of the vnrl
us congregations to whom his pupils min
ster. JIo had been spared to labor many
yesrs In the Master's vineyard, yet had
fieen called away in the prime of his man
hood. Another phase of Dr. Wolf's useful
ness was dwelt on when the pastor spoke
of tht seventeen children of the general
synodeducational, missionary, colleges,
schools and societies which today are
(mourning a father who has been lost to his
earthly household. If any proper text could
be used, the pastor said. It would be: "He
being dead, yet speaketh." This would be
particularly true of Dr. Wolf, because of
the scores of devoted pupils throughout the
land who had heard and heeded his teach
ings and profited by his example.
Rev. la. M. Kuhns also bore loving testi
mony to the great personal worth and re
ligious Influence of the dead leader. He
recalled that in 18S5, when the general synod
had met, In Kountse Memorial church in
this city. Dr. Wolf had been a leading fig
ure, and In responding to the welcoming
words of Mayor Broatch had, with pro
phetic vision almost, forecast the future of
the church In Omaha. He had been Instru
mental In framing the form of worship now
being used In all Lutheran churches con
. trolled by the general synod, and through
out the vast membership of the church he
had been held in loving esteem as a worthy
leader In a great movement. At the college
where his principal work was done he had
ever stood forth as the fervent friend of
the bty who were sent there for their
theological training.
The Grace Lutheran church memorial
had, perhaps, a personal note of more than
passing Interest, from the fact that some
years ago Ed Wolf, a son of the deceased
president, used to assist In Its entertain
ments when It was a small, struggling con
gregation. He afterward died at Colon, and
It was through the Initiative of Omaha peo
ple thut his body was brought back here
and forwarded to his father's home.
1UIISIO AT ST. PETKR'8 CHIRCI1
Two Jesuit Missionaries from Chi.
caao Conducting- Them.
A two weeks' mission Is being conducted
at St. Peter's Catholic church by the Jesuit
missionaries, Rev. Fathers Marshall I.
Boar man and Thomas C. Livingston, both
of Chicago. The services this week will
ha for the women and next week's services
will be for the men. This division had to
' be made owing to the lack of room. Sev
eral services were held at the church yes
terday. Mais was held In the morning nt
6 o'clock, followed by a ten minutes' in
struction. Another mass was held at 9
o'clock, followed by a practical sermon.
At t o'clock In the afternoon there was a
mission for the children. A sermon was
also delivered In the evening. This order
of program will e carried out every day
for the entire week.
Last evening Father Livingston spoke to
the women on "The Alms and Objects of
Life," tsylng:
"Nan was created for the service of God,
and the deviation from this service shows
the injustice and Ingratitude of man toward

Gotl Is failure In life." Rev. Peter Mc
Ixiuphlln, pastor of the church, gave the
rosary before the service and the benedic
tion after it was over. Tonight the sub
ject of the lecture will be "The Violation
of the Divine Law."
Father Hoar man, who takes charge of
the services alternately, has become promi
nently known throughout the United States
for his pronounced utterances against
socialism. His book, "Socialism in Amer
ica," brought upon his head the wrath
of the socialistic leaders, who claimed that
he was presenting socialism In false colors.
This position led to a second book, entitled
"Indictment of Socialism."
THE WORLD KKI) STRONG MEX
They Can Re Beat Secured by Chris
tian Training at Home.
"Let your light so shine before men that
they may see your good works and glorify
your Father rfhich Is In heaven." With this
verse from the gospel of St. Matthew, Dean
Heecher began a sermon In Trinity ca
thedral on the duty of Christian Influence
for the children.
"When Christianity first began to grow
the followers of the lowly Nazarene had to
seek secluded spots In which to worship.
Constant efforts were made to suppress it,
but the more effort was made the more it
spread. Rome caused Christianity to suffer
the most terrible agonies of its develop
ment. This suffering was not In vain, for
the light of those human torches pene
tratfd beyond the empire and revealed the
glorious light of truth which has spread
with ever increasing splendor through the
ages.
"This peaceful morning It Is hard to real
ize what It meant to be a Christian In those
days. It meant death. Then the Christians
must assemble In dens; now the open
church door welcomes them and the bells
call them to prayer. It seems that which
Is most easily secured Is least appreciated.
Once the father led his children to the
rhurch. It was indeed a day of worship;
the church was the one duty. The mind
was centered In things of the soul. The day
Wiis begun ae we gathered around the fath
er's chair to hear him read from the scrip
tures. Young men went out into the world
with the stamp of Christianity on them;
they were taught the power, the efficiency,
the sweetness and the manliness of prayer.
They were taught the sweetness and power
of Christian manhood. Their spirits were
strengthened so they were capable of re
sisting temptation. We have now a provis
ion for the churching of women, but they
are more anxious to return to the reception
and tho social world than for the consecra
tion of their new born child. We must ac
knowledge the old training tended to make
us have character. True, many of us have
railed, but that is not the fault of the sys
tem. Many families keep up this training.
many continue the family circle for prayer,
but. nlas, many are the Christian homes
in this day without Christ. .
"When a child is thrown out on the world
and finds himself incapable of resisting
temptation, whose fault la It? Nothing Is
so important as this one charge God has
given us. Let your light shine In the home.
Think the boys who are growing under
your care are to be the men of the state
and the nation. Such men need to meet and
settle the great questions of the future, and
we want such as would rather die than give
up uieir principles. We want men who
cannot be bought, but will stand like rocks
of integrity."
SPIRITIAL REBELLION IS STRONG
It Will Be Overcome by Recognition
of God In Our Lives.
"This age Is more complex than the ages
that have gone before. Ideals are not so
severe. There is more charity and more
Justlcethan In the days of the psalmist." The
foregoing expression was made by Rev.
M. De Witt Long during the course of his
sermon at Knox Presbyterian church ya-
teraay morning. His text was taken from
Psalms t: "For I acknowledge my
transgressions and my sin is ever before
me." Ha referred to tha consciousness or
sin which overwhelms the psalmist ana
said In substance:
'When men come to a full recognition
of their sins they feel the emotions which
must have stirred the heart of the psalmist.
Men look at sin with concern or absolute
Indifference. The minds of men move In
different groves. Some of us are apt to
be more Interested In speculation than In
God. Yet we are in a stage of progress
rather than of violation of laws. The spirit
of the gospel pervades society. Men who
are not members of the church respect Its
teachings and Its Influence. There Is, how
ever, too often locking a deep conscious
ness of sin. We are too apt to take merely
a surface view of ourselves. If we could
look Into our heart we would shrink from
the sins that are reflected there.
There are deeds and motives there that
are held In abeyance by the barriers that
society and pride throw about us. The
moral fear of society holds us In check.
Sin always exists In the heart before It
breaks out. Malice, hate, envy, jealousy
and greed rankle there. They are tn
risings of the heart against God's Judg
ment. There Is rebellion there against His
laws. We question Hts Integrity and good
ness and use the God-like faculties He
has given us to assail Him and rebel
against Him. God's word Is the mirror
In which we must scrutinize ourselves.
This age Is not pre-eminent In the study
of the Bible and the use of the searching
mirror Is not over-frequent. There Is too
lltte! recognition of God In our lives. We
trample upon His precepts. Could we see
our Inner barrenness It would startle us.
The age looks upon the Matchless One
and denies Him. What a spectacle It
must be for the wondering angels, yet the
world has no consciousness of Its sin.
What we need Is to see ourselves In our
true light, to see our sins and recognize
them Is violation of the divine laws. When
the final judgment comes, as It must come
to all, the heart will shrink appalled at
Its own hldeousness."
GOOD WORK OP GRACE BAPTIST
Dillaent Efforts of Pastor and Coa
rreaatlon Bountifully Rewarded.
That Grace Baptist church is of value In
its locality is proven by Its excellent growth
and Influence. Only a few years ago It
held its meetings In an old storeroom; now,
under the efficient pastoral care of Rev.
Mr. Fernnll. an elegant new church has
been erected at the corner of Tenth and
Arbor streets at a cost of $10,000. It has a
nourishing Sunday school of over 300 pupt!s;
J. H. Rhoads Is superintendent. Miss I.o
seda Vlckery, pianist, and M s Edith Steffe.
chorister.
The church has a fine choir, that Sunday
morning rendered Mozart's "Gloria" In a
manner rivaling the pretentious choirs of
the larger down town churches. The paster,
who has- recently received quite a number
of new members, announced that revival
services would begin at the evening meet
ing and that a full chorus to augment the
choir would be formed at 6:30 that evening.
Rev. F. A. Case, pastor of the First Bap
tist church in Council Bluffs, Is to preach
every evening during the current week.
The subject of the morning discourse was
"The Responsibility of the Sentinel to the
People," founded on the words of Esrklel
xxxlil. 10. It was pointed out that In olden
times sentinels were placed on the walls to
signal tha people by trumpet or otherwise
If danger from the hordes of robbers or
cruel enemies was apparent, and their place
was a responsible one.
"We find that the keynote of Christianity
Is not 'possession,' but 'participation;' a
divine fellowship with the Father and the
Son snd the Holy Spirit, and the world
needs the not of warning."
PATHFINDER DAM BIG TMNC
Major Wilds of Wyoming Gayi Central
Portion Will Forge Ahead.
DAM ON THE NORTH PLATTE THE CAUSE
Oregon Man Mildly Protests Aaalaat
Seeming; Mlsaaderstandlna; as
to the Lewis and Clark
Exposition,
"There Is a future ahead for central
Wyoming." said Major Charles Wilde Of
Casper, at the Arcade hotel yesterday,
"that Is going to astonish not only you
Nebraskans, but the world as well, as a
result of the completion of the Pathfinder
dam of the North Platte. It means much
for (he agricultural advancement of the
state, and with the big extent of country
to be brought under Irrigation to the west
of Casper through the construction of this
dam by the government a new era will
open up for central Wyoming. It will vie
with Colorado in the production of fruits,
vegetables, etc., to say nothing of an
enormous Increase In the production of
alfalfa and other forage crops. The time
Is not far distant when Wyoming will take
a front rank with the agricultural states
of the west, particularly In the production
of crops Indigenous to high altitudes. The
North Platte valley Is one ef the most
fertile sections of America. The river Is
exhaustless In Its water supply, being fed
from a thousand mountain streams and
having Its rise almost at the crest of the
great divide, the diversion of Its waters
by irrigation will have but little effect on
Its general volume. The new dam will
afford irrigation for the second bench of
the valley and will add to the Irrigation of
the lower bench of the river farther down.
At present these second bench lands are
suitable only for grazing, but with Irrlga
tion they will become the most valuable
lands In the state."
Exposition In Former Wilderness,
Charles D. Murray, a former Nebraska!!,
bu now of Tortland, Ore,, Is an Omaha
visitor, and Is enthusiastic over the ap
proaching Lewis and Clark exposition, to
be held at' Portland this year.
"There Is a wrong Idea In reference to
our exposition," he said, "In that It Is
thought in some quarters to be an exclu
sively Paclflo coast affair. The main Idea
of the exposition Is to show the remarkable
development of the west and northwest In
the last 100 years, and particularly to
demonstrate that the former Pacific coast
wilderness has ceased to be a wilderness,
but on the contrary Is a country of mag
nificently developed Industries and civiliza
tion. We do not expect to reach the mag
nitude of the St. Louis exposition, but we
do expect .to present a more unique one,
Few people outside of the coast states
have any idea of the limitless resources
of the northwest country and of the enor
mously developed Industries of Oregon and
Washington. The two states are an em
pire In themselves, whose resources are
Juat merely touched and whose future is
ol limitless expansion. For this reason
we want you all to come to Portland this
year and see for yourselves the magnifi
cent land of the setting sun."
He Hadn't Kept Posted.
A group of traveling men were compar
ing experiences at the Her Grand during
the retent meeting of the Implement dealers
In this city, and Mel Hubbard, a pilgrim
from the Sunflower state, recalled a story
told him by the late Cy Thurman, a St.
Louis paper house representative. Sallna,
Kan., was on Thurman's route and he had
for a number of years dealt in person with
a newspaper publisher there and became
on the most friendly terms with him. The
publisher bad a daughter who occasionally
looked after the business, too, and was. In
fact, tha business manager of the concern.
One summer when the temperature was
way up In the 90s, the old man complained
to Cy that he didn't believe he could stand
another summer like that. Cy cheered him
up with the hope that the following year
would be cooler. When Cy came back to
Sallna the following summer he visited the
establishment of his old patron, but he did
not see the old man about. The daughter
was there, however, looking after the busi
ness. The day was a pretty warm one, so
Cy got Into a conversation with the young
woman, and Incidentally asked her "How
does your father stand the heat this sum
mer?" The young woman was evidently some
what embarrassed at the question, and Cy,
In order to put her at ease suggested: "Oh,
he should not get discouraged at the heat;
we have all got to stand It. I would Infer
that, as he Is not about, he has gone away
somewhere to enjoy a different climate.
Good scheme, wish I could afford to."
The young woman glared at Cy a moment
and remarked:
"You are no gentleman, sir, to thus make
sport of my poor dead father."
Cy didn't know that his old customer had
died the spring before he came back. And
the girl would not listen to any apologies,
and worse than all, he lost the trade of
that concern.
Suspicions of the E(i,
A representative of an Omaha Implement
house told of an experience at a Grand
Island hotel. He said: "I had Just come
In from a long drive out In the country
and was as hungry as a hound pup. The
smae waiter that always looked after me
came up and asked what I would have, l
called for fried eggs."
"Fried eggs?" queried the waiter.
"Yes; you can give them to me fried on
one side, and hurry, for I am hungry."
"The darkey hung around my chair for
a moment and then, gently tapping m
on the shoulder, said in a whisper:
" 'Say, boss, youse a pretty good friend
of mine and has always treated me all
right, and I want to treat you right. Bo
If you knowed as much about dem egga
at dls hotel as I do, you would call for
scrambled eggs.'
"I took oatmeal."
Roller Skating; Resumed.
Roller skating was resumed at the Audi
torium on Saturday night again, with a
very large attendance. Manager Glllan has
made several very desirable improvements
In checking wraps and skates and In the
arrangement of the lobby at the west end
of the floor. The patrons Saturday night
were extremely well behaved and every
thing went as smooth and orderly as could
be desired. On Tuesday night of this week
there will be a douhle bill, consisting of
skating until :30 and then a game of basket
ball between the University of Nebraska
and the Omaha. Young Men's Christian as
sociation. Skating will begin at 7:15, so
that the roller artists may have over two
hours of fun before the gong rings for the
basket ball.
Bis; Demand for Melba Tickets.
The reserved seat sale for the Melba
concert next Friday night at the Audi
torium continues very good and every mall
brings to Manager Glllan orders from sur
rounding towns. Arrangements have been
made for a special rate from Lincoln on
the 20th, as Indications point to a very
large number coming up from the capltol
city to hear the famous singer. Manager
Glllan sent Mr. C. P. Haverstock to Lin
coln last i.lght to complete arrangements
for the special rates and AH orders for
seats. The Cor serve lory of Music and the
university have sent word that mors than
luo will come up to hear Melba If assured
of good seats and a special rate on the
railroad.

"Sergeant Kitty" is full of pleasant little
surprises. It Is not an Immortal work, but
It Is a clever one, and that is more to the
point Just at present. It has good music,
songs with some meaning as well as
rhythm, and Jests that are really funny.
Indeed, Its "book" Is one of the wittiest
heard here in a long time, and the comedy
in the piece Is not lugged In by the heels,
but flows directly from the Incidents. This Is
a combination hard to beat, and when It
is placed in the care of a company made
up of capable and Willing workers, such
as is now offering the piece at the Boyd
theater, its success is certain. No better
pleased audience has left the theater In a
long time than that which filed out last
night, still laughing at the quips and fool
ery of the piece. It Is a little nearer light
opera than what is usually culled musical
comedy, and for this reason Is the more
enjoyable.
CbsYles Wayne, well remembered for his
fine work as Sergeant Bill Barker in the
original "Tenderfoot" cast, leads the fun
makers, and Is a genuine hit as the cap
tain who doesn't quite see what the rest
are laughing at, but who Is bright enough
to turn many a laugh against some of the
others. Sylvain Langlols, with a great bass
voice, aids In the procession of humor, and
Tom Hadaway adds more than a mite to
the merriment of the evening. Wheeler
Earl and Frederick Knight have roles that
are not necessarily funny, but which add
a great deal to the general result. Each
of these Is heard In a song, as are others
of the heavy-voiced sex.
Helen Byron, dainty and chic, furnishes
the pivot around which all the complica
tions and much of tha fun revolve; and
does It rlgh( well. She sings very sweetly
and dances, too, In a way that Is charm
ing. Her numbers were all warmly en
cored last night. Edith Blair Is a very
comely young woman with a well trained
and splendidly managed voice that won
her warm applause lost night. She sings
as well as any one who has been heard
at the Boyd tills season. Clara Sterling and
Vera Curtis lead a couple of choruses
with much verve.
The chorus is quite a feature of the even
ing. Without being so large that It Is
unwieldy, It Is one of the best trained
and best managed In the business, and its
music Is up to Its general behavior. Scen
ery and costumes are beautiful and the
whole affair Is pleasing In Its every as
pect. "Sergeant Kitty" will be the attrac
tion at the Boyd until after Wednesday
night, with a special matinee on Wednes
day. t
Vaudeville at ihe
Crelsrhton-Orpbenni.
It Is a good bill at the Orpheum this
week. Nothing that is wonderful, but
each act is one that will please. Flo Adler
la singing several songs that went very
well yesterday.. Two of them, "In a
Sleigh with the Girl I Love" and "Jolly Me
Along," were written by Clarence Pat
rick McDonald, formerly of Omaha, and
well remembered here. Miss Augusta
Glose offers a "musical monologue" that
Is very entertaining. Robert Henry Hodge
and company present a funny farcical
sketch, "A Bachelor's Troubles," and
Mason and Keeler are again offering their
sketch, "Hooked by Crook," that made
such a hit here two years ago. Mr.
Mason is funnier than ever as the musical
burglar. Werden and Glodtsh have some
new songs and new pictures to Illustrate
them. While Mr. Gladish sings very well,
candor compels the statement that the
Interest Is more In the pictures than In
the songs. The Joselyn ' trio does some
good work on trapeze bars, and presents
some aerial posturing that Is pretty. Sam
Elton Is the unquestioned leader in his
line, that of Juggling with dishes, doing
some really remarkable stunts, and only
breaking a dish when It Is essential to his
plainly yesterday
that he doesn't need to break dishes, by
falling; all over the stage with three eggs
In his trousers pockets and his arms full
of soup plates and breaking neither eggs
plates.
"Our New Man" at the Kragr.
Harry Beresford succeeded In greatly
pleasing two large audiences at the Krug
yesterday In this main-force farce comedy
which hasn't a situation In it that seems
funny if given a moment's thought. The
audiences, however, were evidently In a
receptive mood and every little while
Beresford Is really droll. Everybody In
the cast works with but one object in
view to get aa many laughs as possible,
aad most of them come pretty near earn
Ing their salaries. The piece Itself Is
execrable, but the company of hard work
ing actors makes It entertaining for those
not too fastidious about their comedy.
Lyster Chambers, A. Burt Wesner and
Miss Julia Bachelder do the best work In
supporting the star. The latter Is modeled
on the Richard Carle style and his fun
making has at least the virtue of being
quiet In method. '

While Mr.' Gruber's name has been men
tioned In connection with the place, no
serious thought was given to the possi
bility of such a change, because those in
terested in the Chicago vacancy were not
looking to the Union Pacific for a sue
cessor. The announcement, then, that Mr.
Gruber had the matter under considera
tion was received with about as much
surprise sis a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
'Yes; the position was offered to me and
I have accepted It," was the reply of
Mr. Gruber, when asked yesterday If the
Chicago story were true. "It was not my
wish to have the matter made public Just
yet, but now that the story Is out I see
no reason for withholding the facts. I shall
assume the duties of general manager of
the eastern division of the road on Febru
ary X."
Those familiar with Mr. Gruber's rail
road history will not be so very much sur
prised after all. It was expected that a
Great Northern man would be selected by
President J. J. Hill to fill the vacancy,
but people were looking for the official to
be taken from the Great Northern system.
It was hardly expected that a Great North
ern man would be found In the high ranks,
of the Union Pacific. Mr. Gruber Is, how
ever, a Hill man, and was formerly with
the Great Northern. It is the most
natural thing In the world that he should
go back to the road, but perhaps Mr. Hill
had another motive In view than merely
getting back one of his best men.
The fact Is that the Great Northern and
the Union Pacific have been after each
other's official timber for years. In fact
at one time the rivalry to get men away
from one arfother was stronger than it Is
today. James Z. Woodworth, now traffic
manager of the Northern Pacific, was for
merly assistant general freight agent of
the Union Pacific, Ben Campbell, who has
been made fourth vice president of the
Hill lines, was formerly assistant to J. C.
Stubbs, the traffic director of the Harriman
lines. J. W. Blackbon, now vice president
of the Chicago & Alton, a Harriman In
terest, was formerly with the Great North
ern. These are only a few of the trades
that have been effected by the two lines In
the effort to get each other's men, but
the list Is a long one.
Mr. Gruber was with the Great North
ern about twelve years and went from
there to the Rock Island. He was with
this road about four years and went to
the Union Pacific, a year ago in February.
He was also for a short time with the
Santa Fe in an official capacity. It Is said
that he favors an economical administra
tion of affairs, which Is fully In accord
with the present views of Mr. Hill, and
that the reluctance of Mr. Delano to put
such a policy In force on the Burlington
was really the reason for his retirement
from the road. It is said that the offer to
become general manager of the Burling
ton's eastern division was made to Mr.
Gruber a week ago. Dan Wlllard, second
vice president of the road, passed through I
Omaha in his private car last Monday j
morning. Mr. Gruber, It is said, had a
telegram to meet him and It is believed
the offer was made at that time. Mr.
Wlllard's trip was explained to be in the
nature of a tour of Inspection.
A. L. Mohler, general manager of the
Unlon, Pacific, said yesterday that the
successor to Mr. Gruber had not been se
lected. It is probable that It will be
several days before the name of the suc
cessor will be made known. In the mean
time the usual guesses and rumors are In
order.

Live Stock Association Would Be
Friendly with the Cattle.
DENVER, Jan. 15. Negotiations have
been opened by the officers of the Na
tional Live Stock association with the
American Cattle Growers' association,
which was organized In this city last Fri
day by cattlmen who seceded from thr
stockmen's convention, with a view of
establishing harmonious relations between
the two orgarlzatlons. The National Live
Stock association's board of control has
decided to meet In this city on May 9
next, on which date the American Cattle
Growers' association will hold Its con
vention here. Meantime the executive
commtttees of both organizations will make
efforts to harmonize their Interests In
their by-laws and constitutions. It is
proposed to have the new association of
cattle growers affiliate with the parent
organization exactly as does the National
Wool Growers' association. President
Frank J. H'agenbarth and several mem
bers of the executive commute of the
National Live Stock association have ap
plied for membership In the Cattle Grow
ers' association, believing that it can be
made of benefit to the united live stock
Interests of the country.
