Those Douglas county pioneers

younger generation how to stage a
social event.
Yesterday in the Masonic temple,
starting with a big dinner and ice
cream and cake and ell that, they
held their social, which had been
postponed from the usual date,
Washington's birthday.
There was big crowd. goodwill,
fun, talk, ice cream, cake, cigars,
music and flowers.
Uncle Joe Redman was cutting up

bread under his arm and asking folks

Women Go Upon
Home Excursion

Under the guidance of G. w. Clabaugh,
a large party of the members of the
Omaha Manufacturers association, ac-
companied by their wives, went out yes
terday afternoon on the first Home Trade
excursion of the year, visiting the Ala
mito Sanitary Dairy plant and the Item
Biscuit company's factory. The excur-
sion started from the Woodmen of the
World building, the party going in one
of the large cars of the street railway
company. chartered for the occasion.
At the Atlantic plant the bottling OF
milk. making butter and fermilac was in
full blast. Members OF the party went
through the plant from basement to top
and maryeled at the cleanliness that was
everywhere apparent The cooling rooms
and ice plant came in for a share of at
tention. as did the bottle washing and
sterilizing machine. Before leaving the
visitors were served with a lunch OF
crackers. butter and milk. There were
cigars for tho men and souvenirs for the
women. Then the car was boarded and
the trip to the Item Biscuit factory was
made.
Few OF the visitors had ever been
through a modern baking establishment
and that of the Item company proved
most interesting. Every department was
inspected and every department was
found as clean as the rooms of a we'll
regulated home.
The excursionists were taken to the top
floor and from there they followed the
raw material through its devious ways,
seeing the ingredients of cakes, cookies,
crackers and bread mixed, baked. packed
and made ready for shipment. All OF the
intricacies of the business were thor
oughly explained and all wondered when
they saw dough go into the mixing ma
chimes and few moments later come
out OF the ovens. cooked to a turn and
ready for the table.
At the Item plant the visitors upon leav-
ing, were presented with boxes of Alpine
creams and cheese waters as souvenirs.

Those interested have ramifications
which extend in many directions. and II
Is asserted that these interests have been
used to delay II not absolutely to defeat
the Greater omaha realization desired by
the common people of the two Cities.
The men who are now finding fault
with the provisions In the omaha charter
bill are pulling political wires and using
semi political officials TO advise against
the election, It is said.
The same men and interests who OPP
posed the passage Of the annexation bill
at Lincoln are now using every ondeavor
TO keen the governor from calling the
election at this time.
Friends Of the governor not connected
with corporations say that the state
executive has resisted the appeals OF

The governor has said that he will

METHODISTS URGED
TO RELIGIOUS WORK
Bishop Henderson Proposes Quarter
Million New Members in
Coming Year.
NoN.PRoDUCER GETS SCORED

1.-TWO hundred and fifty thousand
new Methodists between May go,
1915, and Easter Sunday, April 90,
1916" was the slogan suggested by
Bishop Theodore Henderson, chair
man of the Methodist National Com
mission on Evangelism, at large
mass meeting held at the First
Methodist church last evening.
He urged every Methodist between the
dates mentioned to put forth every effort
in the work and marshal the forces OF
good in such a manner that when the
tabulation of the results is made the fig
ures will show the most epochal year OF
Christian progress in fifty years.
His appeal was received with great en-
thusiasm by the meeting. especially when
he declared that the greatest tragedy in
Omaha or any other city is the social,
moral and religious non-producer."
Systematic Religious Work.
In furtherance OF the coming campaign
he asked that loyal Methodists devote at
least two hours q month exclusively to re-
lgIous work for the next year. each in
dividual's activities during this period to
be outlined by his pastor. At least 1000
Methodists are expected to respond &c this
call.
The bishop gave statistics to show how
the church each year is increasing its
membership and works by gigantic strides
and that. chronic pessimists to the con-
trary. the progress of Methodsm has been
great in every branch.
Bishop Henderson spoke briefly on the
coming of Billy Sunday to Omaha and
praised the latter's accomplishments In
Philadelphia and other cities He further
declared that mo state needs prohibition
more than Nebraska" and expressed his
earnest hope that the people of Omaha
would rally to Sundays campaign to ef-
feet prohibition throughout the state.

Heavy Downpours Keep
Park Dept. Humping

City Commissioner Taylor, head of
the park system of the city, has had
his hands more than full during the
present season as a result of the un-
precedented and frequent rains since
early Spring; His particular difficulty
has been the care of the new river
slope from one end of the city to the
other. Owing to the fact that this
was filled and graded during the
Spring and heavy downpours have
caused all kinds of trouble Satur-
day nights heavy rain washed moro
dirt upon the granolithic walk and
steps at the bottom of the slope, but
the damage has not been nearly so
serious as was anticipated.
Prompt efforts will restore the
slope to satisfactory condition, the
dirt washed upon the granolithic
walk being thrown back to the small
gullies. 1t is also likely that a few
loads of dirt will be utilized in filing
up the larger washouts so that the
planting of the open spaces and
wherever the shrubbery has been
washed out can be restored at once.
1t is probable that the top of the
slope will be built up in the spaces
between the barberry hedge plants so
that the water will be thrown upon
the street instead of along the slope
as is the case in some places.

INT. GRETNA BOROUGH
PLAN now OPPOSED
Property Owners in Chautauqua
and Campmeeting Grounds
Divided on Question
Special to The Telegraph


Mount Gretna. Pa, Aug, 2s.-A
movement for the incorporation of
Mount Gretna into a borough is on
foot, but considerable opposition has
developed among the property own
ers. The plan is unique in that this is
community of summer residents
only, and while there are $500 or
5000 inhabitants during three or four
months of the year, there are less
than a half-dozen legal voters within
the confines of the proposed borough.
The summer community is made up
OF cottage owners and tenants, who
occupy some 500 cottages and bunga-
lows on the slope of the South Noun
tain, within the confines Of two cor
porate communicative Pennsylva-
MIA Chautauqua and the United Breth-
rem Campmeeting Association-and
the Vacationists summering at Hotel
Conewago, on the top of a knoll above
the lake. The two corporations,
which. with the Cornwall and Leb-
anon Railroad Company own all the
land hereabouts except that used by
the State in the National Guard en-
campments, have sold small parcels
to the the cottagers under certain re-
strictions, and these corporations
have assumed responsibility for roads,
water, sewerage and lighting facili-
tACo NhlSl nave utN6lODeu In6 noun
tain community. 1t was because some
$4,000 is annually paid by the cottage
owners to the townships in which the
corporate lands are located as school
and road tax and because these tax
monies are used by the townships for
improvements outside of the Mount
Gretna district that the plan of bor-
ough government was suggested in or
der to keep the taxes at home. A joint
committee has been appointed to con-
sioer the plan from the standpoint of
the chautauqua and campmeeting as
sociations, but already a spirited oppo-
sition to the plan has been launched.
The opposition was voiced by Senator
z. E. Beidleman in a heated debate at
meeting of property owners called
for the Informal exchange of opinions
or the plan. Senator Beidleman has
been summer resident on the chau-
tauqua grounds for a number of years.
Certain it is that there will be vigor-
Gus opposition to the plan, and the
necessity of securing a sufficient num-
Der of voters to declare their legal
residence in a place which is Virtually
deserted from September to Nav
promises hard Shedding ahead for the
movement.

fight ON TRAIN
. LIVELY SCRIMMAGE OCCUR
RED ON THE MIDNIGHT
TRAIN LAST NIGHT.

There was some blood letting on
the midnight train last night, when
Conductor Birran and one August
Minach, a passenger, came to blows.
Minach boarded the train at Egan,
enroute to wentworth. He was in
an intoxicated condition, just enough
to be noisy and ugly, and showed a
disposition to u things on the train.
He was advised by the conductor to
behave himself when he became more
abusive and being left for a time to
cool off he failed to cool and taking a
bottle of whisky from his pocket re
waved it about, drank from ii and
offered to share his drunken hos
pitality with other passengers, much
to their disgust. AT this point the
brakeman seized the bottle of whisky
and threw it out of a window-and
the fight was on, Conductor Birran
taking a hand in it. Minach is a
scrapper and he succeeded in landing
on Conductor Birran's face two or
three times before he was subdued,
and upon the arrival of the train at
Colman he was turned over to the
town marshal of that place. Minach
is we'll known to the police of this
city. He has been making headquar-
ters at Wentworth of late, and has
gained something of a reputation as
a scrapper.

WILLOW LAKES fire
SEVERAL BUILDINGS BURNED
AND TOWN SPARED ONLY
BECAUSE OF NO WIND.

Willow Lakes, Oct. 19.-The lack
of any wind saved the town of Willow
Lakes from destruction by fire yes
terday morning when fire starting in
the Blogga feed mill quickly spread
the two adjoining buildings, turn
ing the three buildings into a roaring
furnace before the firemen could get
the upper hand.
No wind was blowing, and to this
fact alone the business section of the
town owes its salvation. The citizens
were kept busy for a couple OF hours,
as il was, putting out small fires
started by sparks and fagots of burn
ing wood being hurled over the town
in a continual storm.
Besides the feed mill, the G. A.
Smith warehouse and the G. G. Barry
building occupied by ABBY brothers
machinery and implement business,
we're destroyed with all their con
tents. The loss Is estimated at
around $4,000.
