FREMONT, July 1S.-(Special)-The first
camp meeting Of the Salvation army of this
division opened at the Chautauqua grounds
last evening. Owing to the damp and
threatening weather, the attendance was
small, but what it lacked in numbers It made
up in zeal and enthusiasm. The opening
meeting was held at the auditorium at s
o'clock. The red. white and blue bunting
and flags were draped around the platform
and over the corners of the speakers stands
were two flags. The singing was accom-
panied by an orchestra OF comets. guitars
and tamborines. Adjutant Harris of Omaha
conducted the meeting, and after singing by
the army, prayed was offered by Captain
Carlson Of Omaha and Captain Wood rf
Lincoln. Captain Seary of st. Louis ten
sang Yesterday. Today, Forever, Jesus is
the Same the audience Joining in the
chorus. The song was n new one, but they
took hold of it and sang with a spirit and
energy that showed their earnestness. Short
addresses were then made by Captains
Hunter of Hastings. Cunningham of Sioux
Falls. 5. D., Sinnock Of Council Bluffs. Beck
man of Missouri Valley, Watson of Blair, and

As n Consequence baptist Ministers

More than 500 indignant ministers held

Evening Wisconsin Of Milwaukee. under date
of July II. "And the same 500 and all
anxious visiting pastors viii buy a full fare
return trip ticket II they expect to get back
to their focks for a sunday morning service.
The reduced rate tickets to the Baptist
Young Peoples union convention cannot be
used for fare until Monday. Delegates will
stay in Milwaukee over Sunday or get to
their various homes at a rate OF 3 cents a
mile.
when Rev. Frank Carpenter Of Omaha
had hidden farewell to convention scenes
and got down to the station this morning
in fair time for his train, he found that
the long yellow slip which was expected to
take him home was so much yellow paper
and no more. and would stay so till next
Monday. Argument was vain and Rev. Car
penter bought a full fare ticket to Omaha
and went home. L. e. Chivers of New York,
district secretary of mission unions. thought
to get back to his post in good time for
Monday morning and met with the same
unflinching official and paid full fare.
"When the 5000 delegates now In con-
vention assembled bought their 5000 tickets
most of them forgot to take a day off and
read the discourse thereon printed. In
fact, only a moderate number got beyond
the first clause on the official looking docu-
ment, which reads as follows:
" Going passengers must leave on date
OF sale as stated on the back by the is
suing agent, and they must be used to
Milwaukee prior to midnight of the date
cancelled in the left hand ~corner-time no
later than July IL
They took their trains therefore prior
to July II, as specified, and omitted to no
tice that coming passengers could use the
tickets no earlier than July 90. There is
no help for it now, therefore,, and the Of
fcials have it in black and yellow and
cannot be blamed for this not having been
read. And late today, after a good deal
of coaXing and enumeration of personal reas-
ons, a compromise was made on Sunday
afternoon, and the office will be opened
then.
This, however. does not help the clerical
delegates, who are expected to preach ser
mons in several hundred pulpits day after
tomorrow. There is no expense account to
fall back upon and those who cannot wire
for supplies will give their charges vaca-
lions next Sunday or buy a full fare ticket
home"
The convention for 1898 will meet in
Denver. Omaha men were on hand and
made a fight for the convention. in common
with Minneapolis and Chattanooga, but the
Mountain city won.
