7 4"\ THE GENERAL CONFERENCE. | Bistop Nowman Tells How 1t Wil | Reneflt Omaha. THE BISHOP'S TALK ON 'CHANGE The Expenditure of a Little Oash and fospitality Wil tm- prove the Oity Morally And Financially. Bishop Newman's A Bishop Nowman talked 10 a very large at tendance at tho real estate exchange meet- ing on the advantages that will accrue to Omaha from the holding here 1n 1892 of the general conference of the Methodist church. “The bishop was closely followed by his audi once and was frequently applanded. He said n brief: “It has been & rule with me all my life never to interfore with a busincss man’s hours of business, I recognize the solemn ity of business obligations. We are ail real estate You are interested in real os tate am interested in roal estate above, 1 mansions in tho skies and 1 hope you will all be able to read your titles clear to such aboacs, “If the general conference of the Mothodist cehurch is beld here in 18 t will be the tirst tme that hospitality has been extended to that body in & hundred years, Ohaha has many lionors, This fresh one awaits you. We Methodist preachers have seon so much of this world that we have learned to watch as vell us pray, Whon tho confercnce met. in New York and decided to hold the next session in Omaha in 1502 wo appointed a committee of sevon to secure reduced railway tra riation and, in ecase Omaha failed to make good her promise of entertaivment, w make arrangements for the con- ference elsewhere. Tt is within your reach to have this great body mect in our beautiful city and remain hero a month. 1am glad there 18 an appre- ciation of the importance of the coming hare of these men of brain and brawn, heart and conscience, these scholars of the nation. They are not all clergymen. Over two bun- dred of them will be representative business men from ol parts of the country, at can readily appreciate the advantage of haviog them with you a month to go away then with facts and impressions of this bean- tiful city, which in my judgment, is destined 10 be the inland metropolis of this great continent, Theso delegates do not conio as mendicants asking hospitality. Omaha ten- dered her hospitality. They came as guest- amply competent to pay for their own entertaiument if necessary. The states ment hus been published that the expense of the general conference is about §6 This is mislouding, as the amoant includes tne traveling oxpenses of the delogates, which are always paid by the church from a fund provided for thal purpose. Private enter- tainment has been promised for 300 delezates of the 600 who will probably attend. This number may be consideranly increased. We will need about $20,000 for the proper enter- tamment of guests who will not be cared for iu the homes of our citizens, and for the nec- essary expenses of the conference. I am sure there will be o trouvle in securing this amout when the time comes to raise it. “*You undersiand the financial benetits of having representatives from every state in the union, from the Canadus, from England, from the isles of the Seas, here in your city for a month. I will not speak of that, but prefer rather to refer to the moral benefits thal 1l be felt. It will quicken our chari- ties, inspire our devotions, and cement the great churches 10 an united opposition to the evils of society that we all deprecate and would wish suppressed. I am woing to a o—emCetiug of the bishops in New York soon and | waot to carry to them the assurance that Omaha stands ready with her tendercd hospitality for the greav conference. It will be a rare meeting. The great prolbewms of the day will be discussed by the great men of the day. ‘The deft lingers of the reporters will seud tnese debates to sl parts of the world aud whenever they are read the name of Omata will be sounded. The delegates and visitors, in all a hundred thousand strong, will never forget the conference, and when' they think of it they will think of Omaha,” President Hartman, after thanking Bishop Newman for his address, promised the ap- pointment of a committoe of the exchange to #1d in securing pledges {or the entertainment of the conference delegates. “The listing was: Clark’s addition, lov 50, 8,000, Jlark’s addition, lot 20, $10,000.

Our taxes now amounts to one-hulf of one per cent, on a quarter valu- ation.

OMAHA WILL WAIT A FEW DAYS. Tho Committees Maks a Startling Discovery in Connection With the Taking of the Next Oensua. A Serious Oversight, The committees of the council, real estate exchanee and board of trade met at the real estate exchange room yesterday afternoon to talk over the project of going to South Omaha to agitate the annexacion question. Mr. H. W. Yates was made chairman of the meeting and W. H. Crary was appointed secretary. Mr. Hartman, president of the real estato exchange, stated the object of the meeting, and dilated upon the advantages South Omaha would derive from being made a part of Omaha, Among other things he said the people of that suburb would receive botter police and fire protection, Hon, John A. McShane was asked for an expression of s _views, and stated that ho should be opposed to aunexation unless the men who had been induced to come to South Omaha and invest their capital would give their consent to the movement. These men, he said, could be convinced with figures showing them advantages to be do. rived by annexation, but_he, for one, was of the opinion that it would be a breach of faith 1o try to compel them to become a part of Omatia if they thought it was not for their interest to do so. ‘They had come here and bad established great manufacturing inter- ests, and it was no more than fair that they should be allowed a voice in the matter of saying whether thoy wanted to come in with Omaha or not. Mr, MeShane said also that he had talked with Mr. Cudahy about the macter and found him opposed to the project at first, but the Chicago house had favored the move and Mr. Cudahy vow seemed more favorably disposed toward it Mr. Meday, on the contrary, was opposd to the ides, but Mr. MeShane haa no doubt he conld be brought to favor it if it was shown to be advantageous to his interests. Mr. Herman Kountze said he had not given the matter much consideration, but he did not see that any great advantage would result to either city by a_consolidation. He thought, however, that it would be the best to secure the consent of the packers to the move. Mr. D. J. O'Donahoe stated that there are several parties in the city who are preparing figures which will convince the most skep- tical that South Omaha will be largely bene- fitted by annexation. Major D. H. Wheeler montioned a number of things wherein Soush Omaha would be benelitted by annnexation. It would give the city a better financial standing, and in- atead of seiling hor warrauts at & discount of 35 per cent she would be able to got a good return for them. The city would also be given a much better standing financially. Mr, E, Rosewuter said the poople of Souta Omaba should be given to understand the advantages they would derive from the con- solidation. They will derive moro advantage than Omaka, as they have piled up a large indebtedness which they would turn over to Omaba. Besides that, they would receive the benefit of cxtensive improvements which they are not able to make themsclves. The city of South Omaha is insolvent now, and must do sometLing to better its condition or wind up its affairs. One trouble which would ve encountered, he said, would be the question of representation in the city coun- cil. The city charter only provides for ten wards, and this would only give South Omahba one ward, with two councilmen, The school district would have to be revised and South Omuba given a representation in the school board, They would receive the ad- vantages of the high school, which they are not entitled to now. Mr. Rosewater further said that he should bitterly oppose any proposal of aunexation after the ceusus had been taken. If South Omaha did not come in before the census he would be utterly opposed to taking the city in after that time, as the only advantage Omaha would derive from the consolidatio» weuld be the showing made in -the census report by an increased population, whereas South Omaha has everything to gain and nothing to lose. hane flung a bombshell into the meeting by announcing that, there was some thing much more important than annexiog Souh: Omaba to make a good showing in the census report, and that was to have a man at the head of the census work in this dis- trict who is friendly disposed towards Omaha. The head of this work had already been appointed, Mr. McShane said, and he was & Lincoln man. ‘) This statement created consternation among the gentlemen present, and for & timo the South Omaha matter was dropped wh this very important matter was discussec he congressmen look after the appointing of these heads of districts, and great sur- prise was expressed that Mr. Counell bad not looked more closelyto the needs of his own city than to allow a man who is certain to be prejudiced against iv appointed to supervise the taking of the census. ‘I'he matter was discussed in all its bear- ings and engrossed the attention of every- bady for some time. 4 The object of the meeting was again taken up und it was the view of those present that the project of going to South Omaha last night to meet the South Omaha people be postponed for & fow days, and Messrs, Hart- man and Crary were appointed a committes of two to go to the suburb and explain the absence of the larger committee.

Springville is enjuyhlg a genuine seusation over a wonderfal clock owned by Mrs. Martin Stepbenson of that r ace, accounts of which have appeared n the Provo bapers, says the Salt Lake Tribune. Mprs. Stephenson came up from Spriogville yesterday, and was met by a Tribune reporter, who asked her if the statements in regard to the clock were correct or whether it was all a hoax. ‘Tt is no hoax,” replied the lady, **and the whole thing is unaccount- able tome. L have had the clock for seventcen years, and never suspected that it had any musical tendencies until November 1. On that day an enlarged rortrait of my son Charles, who was cilled by Indians in Arizona, was hung in the room where the clock was, Shortly afterward the clock commenced playing of its own volition, and kLas continued to do 8o ever since. It has been carefully examined by several per- sons, and the question as to how the musix'syls produced still remains a mys- tery. ST Healthful Hints, Remember that pure air is food, und that polluted air is poison. Never allow the air to stagnate in your rooms or houses. Provide for the constant ventilation of your rooms. One of the best ways of doing this is keeping the window dynv.'n from the top. Keep the vent nlm\i/u open. . Thoroughly air all sieeping apart- ments, beds and bed-elothes during the day. a'hnn you need to use disinfectants, as after fevers,’ etc., romember that they do not radically cure the evil. The only remedy is the removal of the causes of impure air or water which have produced the evil, Avoid the use of covered (or *press”) beds, the most wholesome being a plain iron bed, without any eurtains. In the case of sickness all utensils, ete., should be kept scrupulously clean, and the precautions suggested above as ‘0 maiotaining a supply of pure air should be observed with redoubled vig- ilance.

Facilities which the Caravan Trafiic Afford an Invasion. The Trebizond correspondent of the Levant Herald mentions the anxious concorn of tho population of that city regarding the facilities which the car- avan traflic with Persia affords for the invasion of cholera, ‘“Every week,”’ he writes, ‘‘we have from 300 to 400 camels arriving here from Persia, and the drivers, who are from different places, may come from infected locali- ties. We caunot judge of the extent of the riek pointed out by our corres- pondent,” says the Herald, ‘“but we give it publicly in order thut the com- petent authorities may be advised that au apprehension exists which may or may not be well founded. It is, of course, undesirable that sanitary pre- cautions should impede more than is necessary the course of trade, and probably the sanitary authorities have taken due measure of the risk, if any, chargeable to the caravans arriving at Trebizond from Persia. The presence of epidemics, even so little formidable as influenza, which has laid its uncom- fortable hand on the population of Trebizond, exercise a depressing in- fluence, and under such circumstances nothing tends so much to raise the pub- lic morale as the knowledge that the authorities are employing sll the meuns attheir command {ur preserving the most healthful conditions for the districts under their protection. “'The letter signed ‘Paterfamilias’® which we published yesterday hetrays the anxious misg1vifigs that at this mo- ment besets the minds of fathers of fam- ilies who have thei¥'homes in this city, and the more the withorities can do to sot these misgi\'m;{; At rest the better they will be fulfilligg their important mission. There is updoubted cause for this anxiety, but itushould not be exag- gerated, The influenza is not a very terrible foe; scarlet:fever and *diphthe- ria are unfortunateky with us, but not with very ulnrmh:g_ requency or sever- ity. These two fovs will probably dis- appear as suddenly as they came. “The real dre#d’is the menace of cholera, less becaugs of its 1mminence, which 18 happily problematical, than because of the whollys unprepared state of the city to resistosuch an invasion. It would have the best effect upon the ublic mind were the municipal author- ties to set to work inu well-imagined rational and business-like manner, to remove all thoso things which involve ril to the public health by the foot- 1d they afford to epidemic diseases. There is not sufticient ground for panie, but there is ampie reason why the guardians of public health should \me- themselves to allay anxieties which are not without justification, and to put the city iu a state of sanitary defense which would gpare thousands of lives if the evil should come to pass, and which if God forbid it approach, would not only be in itself & permanent beunefit, but would console wnd eucourage those many minds whose fears, whether ex- EY gerg,v.ud or not are a real torment to om,” 14, [ WASTHE WOMAN KIDNAPPED, | 1800, Some Sensational Assertions In the Olede Fleming Uase, OFFICERS COMING FOR ORMSBY, He 1s Charged With Having Coms pletely lgnored an Ordor of the Court In Taking Away Hia Prisouer.

He was notran officer of this state and it was unla 1 for him w0 place under arrest any resident of Missouri, He was only authorized to take charge of the person named in the requisition after she had been arrested by officers of this state and legally turned over to him by them.” Then comes this, which may or may not prove somewhat startling, but is certainly interesting, w0 the authorities in particular and persons possessed of curiosity generally : “Judge Campbell ordered a capias to issue, directed to tho sheriff, requiring him to se- cure and arrest Thomas Ormsby and hold him subject to the order of the court. “Mr. Harvey said that another section of the statute required that he be fined $1,000. *“Judge Campbell smiled and said: ‘That is the next step, Lot us proceed by stages. 1 will do that when we get him back here. That comes Just before hanging.’ **And everybody laughed. “Then Judge Campbell when the attorn wished to argue the case, Mr. Harvey said that it was a habeas corpus case and Lie wanted it heard as soon as possible. He wanted to give notice that he would have witnesses present and he pro- posed to go into a thorough and searching investigation for the purpose of revealing what he believed to be the most infamous outrage ever committed against the liberty of any person. He meant that the whole facts should come out and be made known to the people of St. Louis. Since the court’s docket was somewhat crowded he would not urge an earlier day than Friday. *‘The court couldn’t possibly hear the case on Friday; it was too busy The attorneys asked for Saturday, but the court would be too busy to hear it then. They wsked for Monday, but the court had a big docket for Monday. Finally, Judge Campbell said 1t would be im- ossible for him to hear the case beforo | vammmy, the 19th, Ho could set it tor that day. *‘The capias was issued and Sheriff Pohl- man will seoure requisition papers and then telegraph to Omaba to have Ormsby arrested and detained until his representative arrives. It Ormsby is secured and brought back here it will go pretty hard with him, Probably this is the first " time that the officer of an- other state has undertaken to arrest a resi- aent of this state within its borders ana in the very presence of a court, and probably it is the first time thata writ of habeas corpus has been ignored completely and a resident of the state forcibly removed from it. Muci that is interesting will develop ‘when the case comes up for trial, and Clede Fleming will probably be the petitioner 1n a cause celebre,” Sergeant Ormsby consulted County At- torney Mahoney yesterday relative tohaviug the latter take Btops toward inducing Gov- ornor Thayer not to honor a requisition for him (Ormsby) until he, the governor, had thorouchly examined into tne case.' Mr. Mahouney gave 1t as his opinion that the Mis- souri aurhorities cannot arrest and take Ormsby back there on the charge of con- tempt of court, but might do 80 on the charge of zidnapping. It was decided to communi- cate with Governor Thayer immediately. The Only One.

Two country peddiers who arrived here today from Marion county, bring news of the thrilling experience of two mormon elders who were proselyting in that county, says a Birmingham, Ala., dispatch. The elders, it seems, wore gotting together a party of converts preparatory to starting to Utah Wednes- day next. When at the house of one of these converts a crowd of masked men entered and dragged them from their beds. They were taken some distance into the woods, striped of their clothing and covered with tar and dry leaves. After warping them that if they did not leave the country at once they would be Kkilled, the crowd. started away. They bad gone only a short distance when two of them turned and came back and strlkhuf a mateh set fire to,the ) ‘wanted to know elders. There happened o be a creek near by and the two elders ran and plunged into it, extiuguishing the the flumes, not, bowever, before they were badly burned. Some of the con- verts succeeded in getting them safely out of the neighborhood next day. The place where the fire occurred is in the wildest part of the state, remote from railroads or towns. Mormon elders made their first appearance in that county about six months ago und sev- eral had previously been driven away by force.
