CITV COUNCIL A.U dredge: Committee of Whole Holds ' Session oa the Matter. That the cltjr council should In due cau tion, Inspect Its. dredge before the return of the machinery from the W. C. Rankin farm near Tsrklo, Mo , was the opinion pi eased at the meeting of the committee of the whole of the city council last even ing, and It Is likely that Aldermen Rlgdun and Jensen will go to Tarklo for that pur pose at an early date. Mayor Maloney said he had been notified by Mr. Ranklnf of the latter's Intention to dlnmantle the dredge and ship It back to Council Bluffs at once. The mayor has written Mr. Rankin that the city will ex pect the return of the big flatboat on which this dredging machinery Is floated. The huge float which stood on the bank of In dian creek near Its outlet into the river, was taken apart and shipped to Rankin with the dredge, but It is understood, was practically rebuilt. It will be necessary to take the float to pieces In order to ship It home, as It is too wide to be shipped on the flat cars. The councilmen discussed plans for carry Inn on the work on the creek and the question was raised whether the creek bed could not be widened and deepened by the uae of some other appliance than the dredge at leas expense. It requires a crew of five men to successfully operate the dredge. Mayor Maloney suggested a sav ing of expense by doing away with the luxury of a foreman to superintend the work, giving that task to the engineer, who Is responsible In the end, for the work. It was finally decided that the dredge afforded the best and cheapest method for the work. The city engineer will Jae In structed to prepare an estimate of the cost of the work proposed on the lower creek. The petition of Vine street property own- era, to have the street opened through from Bryant street, which petition has been pending before the committee of the whole for several months, was finally laid on the table. The councilmen agreed that the plan suggested was not feasible. The communication from Paul Ayles worth with his proposition for ferreting ou. and collecting delinquent mulct taxes on liquor storage houses, was laid on the table. The councilmen decided that If such taxes are due the city, It was the work of the city collector to discover It and pro ceed to collect. The committee adjourned until 2:30 o'clock this afternoon to assess curblngs. MRS. KNIGHT LEAVES FAMILY Woman Killed on Wabash Rlght-of-Way Mother of Seven. Mr. Ida Knight, widow of William T.

OMAHA STANDARD STANDS Convention of 1907 Made Permanent Organixation by Its Men. DUTJTLB AND MEETING BIO EVENT Same Leaders) of Presbyterian Chnreh Gather Mere to Celebrate What I Was Done and Do More for Foreign Missions. One hundred million souls for the Tres byterlan church alone to preach to la this generation; the evangelisation ot the world In this generation; 4,000 missionaries; the glvlr.g of 15 by every member of rhe chu-ch; the raising of $8,000, 000 for this crusade of salvation In foreign lands thla la the "Omaha stan dard" analysed, the standard espoused by the Presbyterian Men's Missionary con vention that met In Omaha February 19-21, 1907, and which was made permanent last night, crystalised Into the "Omaha Standard Men's Missionary Club of tha Presbyterian Church In tha United States of America," by Z60 men of various places at the First church. Three years ago under the directing In fluence of Dr. Charles E. Briidt, field sec retary of the Board of Foreign Missions, 1,034 men composed this convention at the Auditorium In Omaha; they on me from nearly every state and some from foreign lands. The Idea of the conversion was that stated above. The meeting last night was to make permanent the convention as an organization and this was done by the adoption of by-laws and a constitution and the election of officers. These officers were chosen: President, Rev. W. S. Marquis, D, D., Rock Island, 111.; vice president. Rev. A. B. Marshall, D. P., Minneapolis; secretary, Rev. Charles E. Bradt, D. D., Chicago; treasurer, Robert Dempster, Omaha. . The constitution provides that the club, whose official title Is stated above, shall meet In Omaha annually as near the date of the original convention as possible. Dinner Before Meeting. Preceding the meeting last night the men dined in the basement room of the First church. The meeting was presided over by Rev. E. H. Jenks, D. D.. pastor of the F!rt chi'rch. who w cbslrman of the local, and Rev. M. V. Hlgbee, D. D. Rev. A. W. Halsey1, D. D., of New Tork, secretary qf the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions and one of the giants of the church, was the first speaker. His subject was "The Outlook for the World's Evangelization In this Generation." Dr. Halsey made the Auditorium ring wlti his eloquence and his hearers made it ring again and again with their applause. "It Is a. man's outlook," was the keynote of Dr. Halsey's address. He recited facts and figures as showing the marvelous pro gress foreign missions were making In every land; how the heathens were adopt ing Christianity; how they were carrying on the work In . their own countries and how the biggest men of brain and money the world over were giving of their time and means to the work. Much had been said during the evening of the fact that the First church of Omaha had attained the "Omaha standard," and Dr. Halsey commended this, but he pointed to a church over In Korea that was giving so much more ' that what Omaha's First church was doing was Insignificant. He brought out the fact of how all the churches werds working together on for. etgn fields.' As he expressed It, "We have a great religious ' trust In those lands and will not compe'te. with each other In this work among , the heathens." Drv Marquis Makes m Hit. Dr. Marquis spoke on "The Omaha Con vention Standard and the New Missionary Era." He said tt was a standard trust, but not Standard oil. He' provoked great laughter by a timly anecdote. When I went home from that Omaha convention i three years ago and laid the standard of $5 a member before my peo ple," said he, "some of them said It was too much. I asked them If they were as good as Catholics. They thought they were. I told them the Catholics refrained from eating meat on Friday. I figured that by cutting out meat one day each family would save at least 50 cents for that day. They caught the spirit and one man told me later that by eliminating meat on Friday he not only saved the GO cents for his 'Omaha Stand ard,' but made 25 cents on the side by the deal, for hla meat had cost him 75 cents day." He cited many illustrations to prove the existence of the new era and said as Dr. Jenks had said in his opening address, that nothing Omaha ever did gave It such wholesome advertising as the holding of this 'convention. Dr. Bradt made a report of the events leading up to the 1907 convention and the results flowing out from It. He cited a long list of churches that had broken rec ords In foreign missionary giving and showed that In every one of these churches was at least one man clergyman or lay manwho was a delegate to that 1907 con vention. He gave much credit to the news papers for their help In publishing the af fairs of this convention and the events ot the missionary cause. He showed that the convention of 1907 was Hhe first meeting of the kind ever held. ' Other speakers. Dr. Jenks to begin with. had shown that this laymen's movement and other kindred movements for advanc ing the work of mission had followed In the wake of this convention which had carried the name of Omaha to all quarters of the globe. ' Dr Bradt, J. H. Franklin of Omaha, Dr. Marquis and possibly Robert Dempster of The Utmost In Chocolate Quality Don't judge chocolate by its looks. Judge it by its quality.

The meeting faat night adopted a resolution making them the official representatives also ot this Omaha club. Clement Chase, as general chairman of the laymen's missionary meeting to be held at the Auditorium next month a distinct organisation with a similar purpose was present and Invited to present a statement of his work. He did so and when he had concluded Dr. Marquis, as president of the club, said: "We have heard Presbyterian eloquence and Episcopal eloquence and I can't see that the Presbyterian Is a whit more elo quent than the Episcopal."
