BSSSnanaaSBsaa EVANGELISM TO HAVE GREAT UPLIFT Cam pa I an to Enlist Local ftnpport for the Foreign Field Starts with Earnest Workers ' Back of It. The forward movement conference of the Presbyterian churches began yesterday with a meeting in the First church at 4:30 o'clock for the(mlSBlonarles and some of the promi nent local churchmen in the evening at 8 o'clock with a missionary rally. David McConaughy of New York City, forward movement secretary of the Pres byterian Board of Foreign Missions, was the principal speaker of the evening. He said in part: ' " 'As the Father sent me, even so have I sent you.' Even as the Father sent Him, so has He sent you. Will you go your selves or by proxy? The charter on which the Presbyterian church was founded states . that Its object Is to help in the evangeliza tion of the world. Have we ever taken seriously this declaration? I have sought from ocean to ocean and only found one little church that In North Dakota giv ing systematically to foreign missions. I am very, glad the forward movement has come to the church to bring it back again to the original purpose of the charter, that of evangelism. In order to carry out the Idea of the church we. must go ahead In a business-like way to put by the first of each Week what we feel we can for mis sions. Let committees be formed and let every roan have a share In the work which has been given us. ' "The greatest problem before the church today ln the distribution of the support of the foreign missions. The tendency Is more and more for the church to relegate the work to societies, and the societies to boards and boards to committees and' the committees to secretaries. How Is this con gested responsibility to be distributed, how are we to bring the people to the great responsibility which Chlrst has given them." ; Itev. Dr.. Bradt of Wichita was another speaker. He made an earnest appeal to the people to do their share of the missionary work. He said they should not defer this, for Christ's work Is always In a hurry. He said that when he looked on the great field of those waiting to be saved and perishing for want of men he was astonished at the apathy of the church. He mnde fun of the S-cent contributions and affirmed that the church must have a definite, specific form for missionary work commensurate with its ability. Rev. Mr. Jones, formerly a missionary to Japan, and Dr. Womless of the West India missions told of the conditions In their fields and the great need for additional workers. Dr. Womless pointed out that In western India, where there are fourteen men and twenty-six women In the mission ary work there are 280.000 souls to every missionary. In the northwestern provinces, he said,- there nre 100.000 .villages which have no missionary. In the Punjab, with its four nnd one-half million people, there la one small school and a few Itinerant preachers. At a meeting of the mission aries it had been agreed to ask for one man and one woman for every 80,000 people, which, befng granted, It was believed the evangelism of India coulj be accomplished In the life of the present generation. The work required a widespread Itinerant cam paign, a great work of education, for but 4 per cent of the people can' read, and a sys tem of medical ..relief Of the medical missions, he said, they hnd Accomplished many things, being first to disarm hostility and remove prejudice. ',... .. Overcoming- Cnsle Prejudice. . The caste system Is the greatest prejudice and a new hospital treated only, low caste patients for six months, but within a year even the Brahmins were there. The gospel was preached to the patients coming from many miles around, and made' possible other forms of missionary work. .'The med ical missionaries also minister to a great amount of unrelieved physical suffering. He told many stories of the pitiful condition, of the people. . , . , Direct preaching of the gospel, Mr. Jones believed, Is what Japan needs now, There Is at present, he said, no need for medical work, and the schools which have done such good work are passing away, as the government supplies their place. Mr. Jones said the Japanese are now ready to hear the gospel preached, and are trying to see If there Is any good In it for them. If the people had the devotion to the mission work the Japanese have shown In battle , the Christianizing of the world would soon be accomplished. SPORTS OF A DAY.

March 14.-(Speclal.) The athletic authorities at the University of Nebraska were officially advised today of the acceptance of terms by Illinois uni versity providing for a two-year foot ball contract for the seasons of iau6 and 1906, both games to be played In Lincoln on Thankssrivlnff day. Illinois has played foot I ball in Lincoln for the past two years and 1 the booking of games for two more seasons practically means tne establishment or per manent athletic relations between the two schools. Although the announcement of the Illinois game for next Thanksgiving covers the most Important date of the Cornhuskers schedule. It failed to attract much Interest In athletic circles. This waa due to the leaking out of Information that Michigan and Nebraska had cunt raited for a game next fall In Ann Arbor. The Nebraska Athletic board refused to affirm or deny the report, but the reticence displayed Is said to be due to a pledge given by Ne braska to Michigan that the lattrr should make the fliKt official announcement of the scheduling of the game. Michigan, It is explained, has not yet completed her foot ball schedule and her authorities think they can letter conclude the task by maintain ing alienee aa to the dRles of her hardest gamta until all of theru are peimaurnt y hettled. It Is the belief at Nebraska th tt the Michigan game will be played about the middle of October, but oRk-lal Informa tion 1 lacking.

PAVING FIGHT DELAYS THE PROGRESS Contention Between Companies Stieb as to Jeopardise the ranaac of Any Measure for Re lift of Omaha. City officers who have returned from Lincoln ssy that the Omaha charter bill, bill must be agreed upon In the committee 0. 1 cities and towns, passed by the house and sent to the fenate within a few days at the most or It cannot possibly become a law at this (esslon of the legislature. They point out that this Is the fifty-first day's session In the house and the fiftieth In the senate and that many slight changes In the form of the bill will have to be made at the best, ell taking time In print ing and handling. Therefore, they declare that If the measure Is to be passed the committee must formulate a report today, and even then must formulate a certain kind of report or It will never get through the senate sifting committee. Councllmen who returned Tuesday night from the capltol were discouraged over the prospects of the bill. "The fight between paving interests haa Jeopardized the whole measure," said one of them. "Neither side seemed disposed to yield an Inch and both appear to have the strength to delay the bill until It cannot be passed owing to the fact that the session la n ear ing Us close and the bill has to go to the senate. The paving contractors have the success or failure of the new charter In their hands." The councllmen are deeply Interested In getting the new charter because It means an Increase In salary from S900 to 11,500 a year for each one, as well aa Increase for a number of other officers. Largely for this reason there is no objection to the bill as a whole, but only to certain features. Statu of Paving Fiaht. Most of the officers who were present at the hearing before the committee Tuesday night had not returned to Omaha yesterday. One who had said: "When I left the com mittee session at 2:15 this morning it looked as though the paving fight had been com promised and that amendments would be made that would suit both sides and thus Insure the passage of the bill. The tech nical amendments to the bill as printed as drawn up by this department were agreed upon without much difficulty. Jt was the paving sections that brought about the fight. The Barber Asphalt company and Charles E. Fanning are aligned on one side and Hugh Murphy, John Grant and the Ne braska Bitulithlc company on the other. The. former secured the Insertion of a clause giving Interested property owners the right to designate by specific name the kind of paving material they wanted regardless of the prices bid previously. To offset group 1, group 2 had the Denver joker Inserted, which would take the fixing of standards and tests out of the engineer's hands and place it with the mayor and council. Group 1 Is strong In the house; group 2 Is strong in the senate. When the committee session ended it looked as though both Interpola tions would be stricken out and the man ner of selecting paving material left as It Is now. The engineer would make the specifications subject to change and altera tion by orders of the mayor and council, but the Denver Joker would be eliminated. On this basis friends of the charter bill were hopeful of a cessation of hostilities and the passage of the law. If the bill should go to the senate without these two changes It Is likely that it would be held up In the sifting committee there until too late for Its passage." Recall Section Opposed. Besides the salary matter, the councllmen are Interested In getting sections relating to removal and suspension from office amended so that it will require a petition of three elective officers to the district SCIItlOLLER & MUELLER 1313 Farna.ni Street.

NO SIMILAR LAW HAS EVER YET BEEN ENACTED BY ANY STATE IN THE UNION. THIS LAW IS FOR THE BENEFIT OF TnE LUMBER AND GRAIN TRUST NOW OPERATING LINE ELEVATORS AND LUMBER YARDS THROUGHOUT THE STATE, and to the end that such trusts may inflict upon the tax-paying public of this state the same heavy exactions they are now inflicting upon the people of this state in their lumber purchases. Preliminary to accomplishing this purpose they must have some law through which they can wipe out the business of parties engaged in furnishing material and constructing bridges in this state. This they have found in House Roll 255. Not withstanding the large amount of money spent for bridges, none of the men engaged In such work have ever been able to acquire more than a moderate competency in such busi ness. This is of itself the best guarantee of the fidelity and care that has been used in the expenditures for bridges by our county officials now charged with the care of such matters. Engaged in an unequal fight at Lincoln with these combined trust forces is Robert Z. Drake, owner of the Standard Bridge Company. WE APPEAL TO. TnE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE TO HELP HIM BY THEIR ADVICE, SYMPATHY AND ANY OTHER HONORABLE MEANS TO PREVENT THIS INIQUITOUS MEASURE FROM BECOM ING A LAW. . We are, in the interest of honest home administration of home affairs, and always in the interest of fair play, . ' ti Very respectfully, LEVI MILLER, President of First National Bank, Stanton, Neb.
