WILL MEET IN OMAHA.
Anniversary of the Congregations Home
Missionary Society.

Anniversary of the Congregations Home
Missionary Society.
Rev. II. Bross of Lincoln, superintendent
of the Nebraska department OF the Con-
gregational Home Missionary society. was in
the city yesterday in connection with the
forthcoming anniversary Of the society, to be
held in Omaha June 6-S.
This will be a large and important gather
ing for the west. The society has never
held It's annual meeting west Of the state of
New York. 1t is one of the oldest and
strongest of all similar organizations in the
country, having been organized in 1926 as
the American Home Missionary society and
maintaining that name until last October,
when upon its own application the court
allowed its name to be changed to the Con-
gregational Home Missionary society. Under
its auspices nearly all the Congregational
churches in the country have been planted
and nurtured. It's first superintendent in
Omaha was Rev. Reuben Gaylord, who
came to this city in 1855 and was for some
years pastor of the First congregational
church. The society has expended in the
state $4S1 900, and in connection with its
work all Of the Congregational churches in
the state but three. now numbering 1856. with
a membership of 1000, have been planted
and nurtured.
This national anniversary will bring a large
number of people to the city from all over
the country, but principally from the eastern
states, where its largest support has been Sc
cured. The people of New England, especi-
ally, have most generously sustained this
work and will gladly accept this opportunity
to come west and see what this part of the
country has grown to be. Reduced rates
have already been secured and arrangements
are now In progress to run one solid special
train from Boston to Omaha. another from
New York, and another probably from
Chicago. The hotels have made generous
reduction I'm their rates and the hotel COM
mittee is now at work preparing a list of all
the private boarding houses in the city
which will guests.
Major General o. o. Howard, formerly
commander of the Department of the Platte,
and now at New York City, Is the honored
president of the society and will preside at
all sessions. The day sessions will be held
in the First Congregational church and the
evening mass meetings in the First Metho-
dist church. It@is expected that somewhere
from 800 to 1000 will be in attendance.
Special excursions will be run to different
parts Of the state and through Iowa to give
eastern visitors an opportunity to see what
progress has been made here in forty years.
G.. III. Payne Is chairman of the committee
of arrangements and has associated with him
a number of the most energetic citizens of
Omaha. Nebraska and Iowa will have on
their best dress in the early days of June
and Omaha will extend a hearty welcome
to these visitors.

Bonus for a Sugar Factory.

WEST POINT, Neb., March 24.-tSpecial
to The Bee)-At a prior meeting of the
sugar beet convention a mi was APP
pointed to solicit this city to secure funds,
for the factory. Another convention was
called Thursday and n report was made.
The committee brought in guarantees of
$40, 900. In a proposition made by an emf
nent Chicago chemist, $50. 900 was the nee
essary bonus. with an eighty-acre site for
the factory, the bonus to be paid when the
factory commenced to manufacture sugar.

again they might secure the necessary funds.

X. Il. Kloke, president; j. G. Elliot, secre-
tary, and w. A. Black, treasurer. An
advisory board was also elected. The OBJ

WILL NOT DRAIN THE VALLEY.

Dodge County Supervisors Reject All Plans
for Ditching.
FREMONT, March 24.-(Special to The
Bee.)-The board Of supervisors by a vote
of 10 to 6 rejected the ditch projects en-
gineered by the Standard Cattle company
and In fact all the propositions for draining
the Platte valley.
The action has fallen like a wet blanket
over the hopes of the people who have so
earnestly advocated a complete system of
drainage for the bottoms. Manager Allen of
the Standard company declared that he
should personally object to any great sugar
beet enterprise the coming season, as he
would not dare take the risk of a wet season
and an overflow Of the fields. He could not
control the. actions of his company In that
direction. but he should certainly use his in
fuence against any great venture. This has
seriously disappointed the laboring element
of the city. Last year over II 1000 was paid
to Fremont families who worked in the
fields and nearly $25, 900 of the money used
in the cultivation of the crop was expended
In this city. The controversy arrayed the
northern part of the county against the
southern part, as it would require a very
large amount of The county general road
fund to pay the county's per cent of bene-
fits to the roads of the territory drained.
