ROCKEFELLER QUESTION TO COME UP
Contest for Control of Reaolatlons
Committee to Which the Cher
okee Memorial Is to Be
Referred,
BIOUX CITT, la.. May 17.-The sixty
sixth annual meeting of the General Con
gregational Assoc atlon of Iowa was
plunged Into a m.ielstrom of debate at
the outset. Majority and minority reports
were given by the committee on Sunday
schools. The majority Is for leaving the
control of Iowa Sunday schools with the
National . Sunday School association and
the minority favors the placing of the en
tire control of Iowa Sunday schools with
a state association.
A majority of the ministers favored the
minority report. Both reports, after a
stormy debate, were referred back to the
original committee fop further considera
tion.
Rockefeller Question I p.
The principal contest of the day was on
the personnel of the resolution committee
which has charge of ths memorials sent by
the Cherokee association to the state as
sociation recommending that such action
be taken aa will show the prudential com
mittee of the American board that the
Iowa CongregatlonallHts are against the
acceptance of any gifts from John D.
Rockefeller. This matter promises to stir
up a lively time In the convention. Some
of the ministers want to suppress the
anti-Rockefeller movement and others are
as determined to get It before the conven
tlon.
The resolutions committee was named
and at adjournment for the day was still
wrangling over the memorial.
Episcopalians In Session.

plan to help some themselves, too. City
Attorney Breen announced that precinct
boundaries would have to be fixed, as well
as ward boundaries, and the troubles
vastly Increased thereby. From Informal
discussion the general Impression seemed
to be that It would be well to leave the

MAKING MEDICINE.
Interesting Facts Regarding; the Lab.
oratory of the Chamberlain Medi
cine Co., Des Moines Iowa,
A person purchasing a bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy has no concep
tion of the magnitude of the laboratory
where this medicine Is manufactured.
The machinery and apparatus used In Its
preparation was designed especially for
the purpose and coat several thousand
dollars. Europe, South America and the
United States supply the various Ingredi
ents of this remedy, and only the highest
obtainable quality Is used. No pains or
expense has been spared In making It aa
nearly perfect as possible.
A force of helpers representing homes
enough to populate an average Iowa town
are regularly employed at the plant of
the Chamberlain Medicine company at
Des Mones, la. .Their printing department,
which Is usually overlooked In calculating
the expense of a business of this kind,
ranks as one of the best In the state, and
Is thoroughly equipped with automatic
presses and folders of the latest Improved
type. Here cniugh print paper Is used In
one year to spread over ten forms of 160
acres each, upon which Is printed adver
tising matter, directions and labels In
twenty-eight different languages and dia
lects. Enough lumber Is used In making
the cases In which the medicines are
shipped to build an eight room house on
each of these ten farms every three
months. The bottles used by this firm
every year, which are filled by machinery
at the rate of 2,000 per hour, If placed end
to end would reach across the United
States seven times or almost encircle the
globe.
As small an Item as newspaper adver
tising may appear to be, it requires the
services of more than a dozen girls to
check the Chamberlain advertisements,
which appear in almost every newspaper
In the United States. In the Foreign
department are to be found newspapers
from Asiatic countries containing not a
word of English, except a bottle cut of
some one of the Chamberlain remedies.
This laboratory was erected In 1900 and
Is located on a rising knoll just away
from the center of the city. It Is erected
on three sides of a court and Is so con
structed that light Is admitted to at least
two sides of every room, rendering every
portion of the building pleasant and
healthful for the employes. Inside the
court Is the power plant which furnishes
electric light, heat and power for the en
tire building. Any department can be
placed Into almost Instant communication
With any other by means of the house
telephone system. Drinking fountains and
large airy lunch rooms, for the conven
ience of those who are employed, are
among the most pleasant features of the
building, while the sanitary arrangement
and cleanliness of the laboratory are in
dicative of the high standard of the medl-tines.

CURTAIL PRIVILEGES OF COWS

The misbehavior of certain cows In the
northern part of the city caused an amend

prohibiting the running of animals at
large or herding them In the streets at
an adjourned meeting of the council yes
terday afternoon. The amendment makes
It a misdemeanor to tie or "lariat" any ani
mal in the streets, unless a speolal per
mission Is given by the mayor. and counoil
by resolution. According, , to Councilman
Evans, who brought the ordinance In,
milkmen have been In the habit of staking
out cows in the streets and the cows were
not content with gracing on the publlo do
main, but devoured shrubs and flowers In
private yards. Not only this, but they
have annoyed persons by chasing them.
One of these persons, unfortunately for
the cows, happened to be Sam Walkup,
who works at the City hall. Mr. Walkup
and others saw councilman and the amend

CORNISH STANDS WITH KRUG
Park Commissioner Approves Open
ing; of Twenty-Fifth Street Be
tween Vinton and Boulevard.
Concerning an effort to open Twenty
fifth street between Vinton and Boulevard
street, Park Commissioner Cornish has
written a letter to the city council pro
testing against such a move and giving his
reasons. The opening is approved by the
Krug Brewing company but Commissioner
Cornlnh.says it will interfere with a plan
for a new park and boulevard system to
be marked out by Omaha and South Omaha
Jointly. Mr. Cornish says:
"I beg permission of your honorable body
to state that at the time, I was negotiating
with the Kred Krug Brewing company to
settle Utlgution pending regarding land
condemned for boulevard purposes on
Twenty-fifth between Vinton and Boule
vard streets, between Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-nith streets, which resulted prac
tlcally In a donation of all of said land
to the city by the Fred Krug Brewing com
pany, Mr. William Krug etatea to me
that he did not want Twenty-llfth street.
south of our boulevard Opened as a street.
1 stated to ntm tnat the iJarK Doard would
assist him in preventing the opening of
Xwenty-nfth street, explaining that we had
no legal autnority to contract in tne pi
lses. but that the influence of the bo
with the city council would be used to
prevent connecting a street with our boule
vard In such a manner that the boulevard
must be used exclusively for traffic upon
the street. You must understand that
from Twenty-flfth street the -only outlet
would be the boulevard from Twenty
fourth to Twenty-llfth or the boulevard
from Boulevard street to Vinton street.
since that date tne Board oi larK torn
mlHHloners of South Omaha has officially
suggested to this board the propriety of a
boulevard commencing at Twenty-flfth
and Boulevard street, running to the south
Omaha park. We suggested, to them on
our part, that It would be more satisfac
tory to us to extend the boulevard from
Twenty-third and Boulevard streets south
to tho city limits, there to connect with a
large park and boulevard system to be
undertaken by South Omaha, which should
include the old (Syndicate fark, Bouth
Omaha and both aides of the ravine from
the city limits to tne intersection ot tne
ravine and Thirteenth street, and that we
at the same time, and as a part of the
same general scheme oi Dotn cities, would
take steps to condemn the bottom lands
from Kivervlew park to Mission aveune,
South Omaha, and from the Burlington
riaht -of way to the Missouri river, thus
giving the two cities a magnificent park
and boulevard system, changing all the
low. undesirable lands into a very attrac
tlve park and boulevard, leaving the higher
lamis in tnat vicinity as tne moat aesiraoie
residence properties In either city. Ws
understand that they looked upon our plan
with approval and that as soon as ths law
could ne changed so that condemnation
proceedings could be had, It would be
adoDted.
1 believe that the last scheme Is more
preferable for both cities, especially so for
South 'Omaha, and that any opening of
Twenty-flfth street would direct attention
from the larger and better projects, and
therefore deem It proper to call attention
of your honorable body to the ptesent state
of negotiations.
SEMI MILITARY FUNCTION
Reception Given by General nnd Mrs,
Wlnt at Pnatoa Is Brilliant
octal Affair.
One of the most brilliant social func
tions of ths season was the reception
given last evening at the Paxton hotel by
General and Mrs. T. J. Wlnt to about ISO
guests. It was a seml-mllltary affair and
the parlors and corridors of the second
floor were canopied and draped with Am
erica n flags, supplemented by quantities
'of cut flowers, ferns and palms. General
and Mrs. Wlnt, assisted by Colonel and
Mrs. H. B. Pratt of Fort Crook, received
their guests standing before a mass of
American Beauty roses and ferns banked
before the large mirror opposite ths ele
vator. Masses of snowballs banked the
mantels and decked the punch table which
was stationed In the east parlor. At the
south end of the corridor the Thirtieth
Infantry band from Port Crook was sta
tloned. The floors . were canvassed and
dancing was enjoyed during the evening.
The officers were all In full dress uniform.
In addition to the army contingent the
rueat list Included a large representation
of the local I aa lauuable get.
TWO AUTO RACERS DUE TODAY
Olds Machines Going; from New York
to Portland About to Reach
Omaha.
The two Olds automobiles which are ra
cing across the country for the 11.000 prise
offered by the Portland exposition are ex
pected to reach Omaha today and go di
rectly to the Powell garage, where an In
formal reception will be held. Bad rains
have been encountered all of the way from
Cleveland to the central part of Iowa and
the men are anxious to get onto the line
of the t'nlon Pacific, which they have long
heard of as the overland trail. This Is the
road used by teamsters in the first trips
across the country and has always been
recognised as the established road. They
will follow the Union Pacific and Oregon
Short Line to Portland.
The contestants In this race left New
York City at :30 o'clock on the morning of
May S. The race will end on the Trail, the
amusement street of the Lewis and Clark
exposition at Portland, and the contestants
will reach Portland some time previous to
the opening of the National Good Roads
convention, which begins Its sessions June
21 The date of the arrival of the auto
moblllsts cannot be approximated, for this
Is the flrst time that an automobile race
has been projected across the Continent and
there are no records to go by; but It la
thought they will reach the city at least a
week prior to the opening of the good roads
convention.
To make possible travel by night over
the rough country roads each auto carries
exceptionally powerful acetylene lamps,
fed by tanks which hold enough gas to
feed the lamps for seventy-to hours. The
gasoline tanks with which the machines
are equipped hold only seven gallons, and
It Is estimated that stops for gasoline must
be made every 600 miles. The machines
plan to carry additional tanks while cross
ing the desert. The long distance drivers
carry only the clothes they wear, Including
leather Jackets, on leaving New York, and
their total baggage. Including tools, weighs
less than 200 pounds. Each machine car
ries one extra tire.
The race Is undertaken for the purpose of
making a practical Investigation of the
transcontinental roads, with a view to In
forming the National Good Roads associa
tion at Its convention of the actual condi
tions. Kach machine left New York with two
occupants. The drivers, Dwlght B. Hubs
and Percy Megargle, named their mounts
respectively "Old Scout" and "Old Steady."
Mllford Welgle accompanied Hues and
Barton Stanchfteld occupied the seat with
Megargle. (The drivers are both men who
have shown their ability In previous con
tests over shorter distances and were
chosen from several hundred applicants.
IMPROVERS BUSY IN GARDENS

Have Time to Attend Club
Meeting.
Only about a baker's dozen of the ri.
dents living In the Jurisdiction of the Pros
pect Hill Improvement club stopped work
ing In their gardens last night to attend
the regular meeting of the club, which was
held In the hall. Thlrty-fourth.and Decatur
streets. The committees on sidewalks and
crosswalks reported that nothing In par
ticular naa been done In reference to get
ting the Improvements which they have
asked the engineering department of the
city to procure for them, but It Is likely
tnat a subcommittee will wait on the
department with a trlewj -to getting the
walks which the club Snembers say are
badly needed. The same 'report was made
by the committee on gas end eleqtrlc lights
but It Is probable that -the club will sue
ceed In getting an arc light at Thirty
second and Parker streets and also one at
Thirty-first and Beward streets. This, how
ever, is not assured.
After the regular business of the club
had been transacted by the thirteen mem
bcrs present, all started 6ff Into a lengthy
discussion of the Beef trust question, and
tne railroad rate bill, which are now

WOODMEN RATES STILL IN AIR
Railroads VoeH Horns on Haul from
Here to Milwaukee for
Convention.
Rates to the Modern Woodmen conven
tlon, which Is to be held In Milwaukee
June 17-24, are still up in the air and the
rate war glides merrily on between the
lines from the Missouri river to Milwaukee.
The first rate agreed upon was one fare
plus 80 cents for the round trip. The Mil
waukee road then agreed with the railroad
and rate committee of the Woodmen for
Nebraska that that road would be declared
the official road and that the rate would
be flO for the round trip.
The latest move has been made by the
Northwestern and Rock Island. The North
western has a contract to haul lierrlck's
team of Lincoln for IS and the Rock Island
has the same agreement at the same price
for the hauling of alters team of Lin
coin. The Northwestern has a through
line, but the Rock Island officials say that
they expect to haul the company from
Chicago to Milwaukee by boat
The end Is not in sight, for other road
say that now that the fight Is on they will
take a hand and there Is no telling at thl
time where it will end. A probable rate
of )S Is In sight, and If the fight continues
a Woodman may get a chromo in addition
to a free ride to attend the annual con
ventlon in Milwaukee.
