LIRCOLN, Oct. 3.—(Speclal.)~V/hile the sinisters of Lincoin have signed no iron- clad agreement to prevent the buliding of any more churches of denominativns not now organized here, such an ugreement exists, and a movement toward the organi- zation of any more churches would meet with the opposition of the Ministerial as- \ soclation. Rev. Luther P. Ludden, field secretary of the western District Board of Home M slons of the Evangelical Lutheran church, sald:, “When Rev. Rowlands was a citizen of Liucoln he was a strong advocate of the union of churches and he wanted the smaller denominations to organize mto ons largo church. There was none among us that objected to this union and we each were opposed (o the organization of other | churches in the city “Tho board of which I am secretsry is working along the same lines, and when I %0 Into"a community where there are only & few of those of my particular Lelief I | will wot attempt to organize, but 1 advise | those few to aMilaie with. some of ths | other churches. Towns and cities can b 00 many churches just the same as any kind of business and 1 am stronsly in fevor of fewer churches, with §ood preach- | ers and large membership, instead of hav- | ing the life dragged out of the people ry- | IBg to keep up & large number of small churchs: Atr. Rowland's idea was to have | | the ehurches the! belleved In imwer- ®lon, such the Baptis. and the cml-‘l\n. unite and not have two churches standing side by whea one would do just as well, and fact would be much better. Then. of course, those ¢f ke same falh | on n; lines he wanted united inatibns, because a friendly rivalry is [oufl‘ for the churches the same as business, and 1 am not In favor of doing away with sec- tarianism altogether, but I am in favor of | dolng away with so many isms. From statistics gathered by Reyv. Ludden it is found that the number of ministefs is not equal to the demand of the churches and makes consolidation almost imperative. Mr. Ludden attributes this to some extent to the time required mow for a man to fit | himself for the ministry. In other days he said a man could attend school a year | and then go to preaching, but now it re- | | quires a college gducation and a four-year | special course to be able to fill a pulpit to the satisfaction of the congregations. A preacher hgs to be us well educated as a doctor or a lawyer. It was suggested that probably the preacher, like the male senool teacher, was quitting his calling for some- thing more remuncrutive, but this s sa'd not to be the reason of a shortage, for there are very few ministers leaving the | pulpits and & few new ones coming in The ministers of Lincoln have not glven up their idea of & consolidation of churches | by any means. and the fact that all agree 10 oppose the bullding o fnew churches for organizations yet (o be crganized is cited as a step in the direction of consolidation. Eleetion Proclamation. Goveruor Mickey today issued his proc- amation for the election to be held on Tuesday, November 3. The proclamation is purely formal to comply with the law in the case. The cail shows that four rep- | resentatives are to be elected, three va-! cancies being occasioiied by resignation and ono by death. The following officers | wre to be elccted: Ono judge of the & ents Of the Universify of Nebraska, two udges of the district court for the ‘First | Jucicial district, ome Juags of the dlstrict | | court for the Second juaivtal district, three | | judges of the districi court for the Thaird | Judicial distriet, seven judyes of the distrigt vourt for the Fourih Judicial Cistries, two Judges of the district court for the Fifth Judicle) district, two judges of the district court for the Bixth judlci.l alstrict, ome i e of the district court for the Seventh udicial district, one judge of the district court lbr the Kl dis: Ju f the su" :u me court, two re- | mn h Jufllfi' lw“’" years; Chestar Green, Merrck cout :. «ul ,_‘I 5!«- ol il | break was lable to occur at any time be- | mates: l8: one representative from the Twenty-fourth representative ‘district to Il vacancy, one representative from the Eighth representu- tive aistrict to fill vacancy, one representa- tive from the Forty-third representative district to fill vacancy, one representative from tho Tenth representative district to| fill vacancy. The reports published recently that a spirit of mutiny existed among the inmates of the state penitentiary and that an out- cause of the lack of cells is verified in the report of Warden Beemer flled with the secretary of state today. It shows that one convict was sent to the dungeon for a day for slashing another with a razor, that one | was sent up for assauiting Superintendent Drager and that three were placed in the ! dungeon for threatening the guards and | being insolent. About a dozen more were punished for violatng the rules, in that they talked too much without permission, made uncanny noises in the cells and other minor offenses. Because of the absence of cells the con- victs are merely corralled, and this mukes / & §00d breeding place for thoughts of | escupe and insubordination. The warden fs using all the precaution at bis command. | but the report of so many convicts being | sent to the dungeon for offenses that very | seldony are chrodicled in the report is good | | evidence that those cells are badly needed. In the-meantime the erection of the cells | has not yet begun. Population of Penitentiary.

Monk, charged with deserting his wife and three small children, was concluded be- fore County Judge Skiles yesterday even- ing. After the state had Introcuced evi- un-el for the defendant filed a motion asking the court to dismiss the case for the reason the law as passed by the last legislature and under which Monk is prosecuted, is am- biguous and unconstitutional. The entire day was consumed in the argument of the motion and the citation of authorities by the attorneys. Judge Skiles overruled the motion and held the defendant (o the nexs of the district court which convenes November 10, fixing the bond at $30, which Mr. Monk was unable o give, and he was remanded to the county fall.
