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.

town.
At the time of her husband's death Mrs.
Knight was left In almost destitute cir
cumstances, but Mayor Maloney on being

steps to relieve the Immediate wants of
the woman and her children, but provided
for the decent burial of the husband and

Northwestern Not Storing Coal.
BOONE, la., Feb. 10 (Special.) Tele
graph reports from various parts of the
country Indicate that many of the rail
roads are worrying over the coal situa
tion, the possibilities of a strike and
no coal, etc. The miners' convention In
Indianapolis was watched with Interest
by the companies and many of them,
fearing a strike of the miners In the
bituminous fields, have given orders for
coal, all that they can get tholr hands
on, and to have It stored at their
dUlsion points along their systems.
The Northwestern company has not so
far Issued any such orders and the offi
cials are not making any efforts to get
on hand any more coal than ordinarily.
In the past, years ago, when strikes were
In prospect the company stored large
quantities of coal in Clinton. Boone and
Council Bluffs and in other places along
the line, but as yet nothing has been
done In anticipation of a strike of the
miners.

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. '

The Story of a Medicine
Its name "Ooldea Medical Duoovery wn tug.
estd by one oi its moat important and valuable
ingredients Golden Seal root.
Mora than forty year a to, Or. Pieroe discovered
that be could, by the use of pore, triple-refined lyo
crine, aided by a certain 6(jree of constantly main
tained heat and with tha aid ot apparatus and ap
pliances designed for that purpose, extract Irons our
most valuabla native medicinal roots their curstiv
properties much better than by the use of alcohol,
ao rfenerallv amnlnvail. So tha now wnrlii lmmA
"Golden Medical Discovery," for the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, orJ
dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and kindred derangements wss first
made, as it ever since has been, without a particle of alcohol in its mskc-up.
A glance at the full list of Its ingredients, printed on every
Lottie-wrapper, will show that it is made from the most valu-'
able medicinal roots found growing in our Amerioaa forests
All these ingredients have received the strongest endorsement
from the leading inedioal experts, teachers and writers on Ma
teria Medics who reoommend them as the very best remedies for
the disease for which "Goldea Medical Discovery" is advised.
A little book of these endorsements has been compiled by Dr. R. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, N. Y., and will be mailed frtt to any one asking tame by postal
card, or letter addressed to the Doctor at above. From these endorsement, Jl
copied from standard medical book of all the different schools of practice,
it will be found that the ingredient composing the "Golden Medical Discov
ery" are advised not only for the cure of the above mentioned diseases, but
alto for the cure of all catarrhal, bronchial and throat affections, accom
panied with catarrhal discharges, hoarseness, sore throat, lingering, or hsng-on-ooughs,
and all those wasting affections which if not promptly and prop
erly treated are liable to terminate in consumption. Take Dr. Pierce's
Discovery in time and persevere in it use until you give it a fair trial and
it is not likely to disappoint. Too much must not be expected of it. It will
not perforin miracles. It will not cure consumption in its advanced etuge.
No medicine will. It will cure the affection that lead up to consumption,
if tain in tim.
You can't afford to accept any medicine of unhnomm composition at sub
stitute for "Golden Medical Discovery," which is medicine or known com
position, having a complete list of ingredient in plain Engliah on it bottle
wrapper, the same being attested si correct under osth.
