All OVATION TO M'KiHLEY
THE METHODIST CONFERENCE EN
THUSIASTICALLY CHEERS HIE
BALLOTING FOR BISHOPS.
Commute of the State of the Churcb
Recommends Some Radical Changes
Another Measure Brought Up
Calculated to Lessen the
Authority of Bishops
Conference Work.
Cleveland, Ohio, May 18. When
the .Methodist Episcopal geueral con
ference was called to order the third
ballot for bishop was announced to
the great audience. It showed that
510 votes had been cast. The follow
ing six candidates lead: C C Mc
Cabe, 2o ; Earl Cranston, 191; J.
W.
W.
E. Bowen, 165; II. A. Buttz, 154; J.
Hamilton, 133; E. B. Neely, 42.
A fourth ballot was ordered. It
showed that 512 votes were cast and
no choice made, 342 votes being neces
sary to a choice. The leaders were:
McCabe, 243; Buttz, 233; Cranston,
214; Hamilton, 141; Bowen, 109.
There are two bishops to be elected
and the 512 votes which were cast on
the fourth ballot indicate the vote
for one bishop only and in reality
represent 1,024 votes. The apparent
discrepancy of only 522 votes being
announced caused some confusion
when in the report of the ballot it
was shown that over 1,000 ballots had
actually been cast. This explanation
was made by a delegate to the satis
faction of the conference.
While the fifth ballot vras being
counted, the death of J. W. Reed was
announced, and a committee on reso
lutions appointed. The lie v. Mr.
William Martindale of Kansas pre
sented a memorial requesting congress
to prohibit the licensing of the sale of
liquor in states where prohibition was
in effect. It was adopted and ordered
sent.
The proceedings were interrupted
by great applause next door, and soon
Major William McKinley appeared on
the platform. Bishop Joyce presented
him and the air was white with hand
kerchiefs. Three times the applause
died away and three times it was re
newed. It was the greatest ovation of
the conference. Dr. Kynett wanted
to take a recess at once, but tne mo
tion was defeated and the business
was continued, but the regular recess
was made fifteen minutes instead of
ten, and nearly every delegate in the
house took advantage of the oppor
tunity to greet Governor McKinley.
After recess the chair announced
tne nun ballot, it resulted, in no
choice, but revealed some remarkable
surprises The vote on the six leading
candidates was as follows: 11. A.
Buttz, 266, Earl Cranston 245, a C.
McCabe 236, J. W. Hamilton 137, J. W.
E. Bowen 75, T. B. Neeley 21. An
other ballot was ordered.
At the meeting of the state of the
church committee a report on socio
logical work written by Rev. Dr. Will
iam (juavle of Kansas City was pre
sented. It was long and a wide de
parture from the usual formal report
and called for some decided criticism.
It was defended by Mr. Quayle, but
after a long discussion was returned
to the subcommittee for revision. The
committee took up the question that
the term of probation be shortened,
but decided in favor of retaining the
present term of six months. A sub
committee was instructed to prepare a
ritual form to be used in the admission
of probationers to full membership.
The committee on itineracy consid
ered another measure calculated to
lessen the authority of the bishops,
It was that the consent of the cabinet
of presiding elders should be secured
before a bishop could transfer a min
ister from one conference to another.
The committee declined to recommend
the change.

The Governor Respites Pollard and
Harris Once Again.
Kansas City, May 18. Governor
Stone granted a respite yesterday to
Foster Pollard and Frank Harris and
ordered that they be hanged May 29.
This was done in order to prevent fur
ther legal complications.
Judge Dobson did not have an op
portunity to hear evidence and argu
ments this morning on the writ of
habeas corpus for the release of Pol
lard and Harris. Before the pro
ceedings were called Judge Dobson
was served with a writ of certiorari
issued by the supreme court. A writ
of certiorari is an order issued by a
superior court to a court of inferior
jurisdiction and powers, requiring it
to send up the proceedings in a case.
It is simply the lifting of a case from
a lower court to a higher one.
At 9 o'clock this forenoon Marshal
Keshlear took Pollard and Harris be
fore Judge Dobson, in answer to the
habeas corpus writ. Judge Dobson
then notified the marshal officially of
the writ of certiorari and remanded
the prisoners to the marshal's custody
again. Judge Dobson then ordered
Clerk Stonestreet to certify the rec
ords of the proceedings to the supreme
court, as directed in the writ.and that
ended the case for to-dav.
If the supreme court decides Mon
day that Judge Dobson had jurisdic
tion to issue the writ as he did, it will
send the case back to him. If it de
cides otherwise, Pollard and Harris
will be hanged, unless respited by the
governor.

A Bank Wretchedly Run.
Topeka, Kan., May IS. State Bank
Commissioner Breidenthal says that
the failure of the Stockgrowers and
Farmers' bank at Meade was one of
the worst that has come under his
notice. Its capital was $5,000 and it
did a large business with cattle men.
Its nominal assets are about $2o,000,
but some of them are of little or no
value. The books do not show the
liabilities. Some of the deposits have
never been entered, and it will take
some time for an expert to unravel the
tangle. The president, Ormond Ham
ilton, is short at least S12.000 and he
says he has no idea what has become
of the money. The depositors are in
dignant, and Hamilton probably will
be prosecuted.

IOWA PATENT OFFICE REPORT.
Des Moines, May 7. T. S. Ballew, of
Stuart, la., has been allowed a patent
for a campaign badge in the form of a
bee adapted to be readily fastened to
the lappel of a coat. On . t.he wings
are fixed the portraits of candidates in
such a manner that they are concealed
when the wings are folded, but by
pressing a detent the wings are
expanded and the portraits and sen
timents of the wearer flashed upon
observers. To be the author of ft
machine that will give aid, comfort
and delight to the present and coming
generations may be a nobler triumph
than to win a presidential race. It is
a hope, too, that many may realize.
The ambition of the humble mechanio
that looks for honor and fame by seek
ing to give the world a benefaction in
the. shape of an invention, is far above
the "infatuation" which ruins "pres
idential candidates.' The names of
American inventors and public ben
efactors will be revered when the
names of some of our presidents and
would-be presidents will be for
gotten, or only remembered
with indifference, regret or con
tempt. Valuable information about
obtaining, valuing and selling patents
sent free to any address. Printed
copies of the drawings and specifica
tions of any United States patent 6ent
upon receipt of 25 cents. Our practice
is not confined to Iowa. Inventors in
other states can have our services up
on the same terms as the Hawkeyes.

A WAR REMINISCENCE.
SCENES AT HATCHER'S CREEK
AND PETERSBURG RECALLED.
John A. Srace Speaks to a Reporter of
Stirring Scenes Escaped With a Slight
Wound, Rut, Like Other Veterans, lias
Suffered Since A Story that Reads Like
a Page from History.
From the Albany (N. Y.) Journal.
John B. Scace, the widely known
contractor and building mover of Al
bany, N. Y., has had an unusually in
teresting life, and when seen by a re
porter recently at his home. No. 15
Bradford street, told of his many ex
periences and adventures while serv
ing under the old flag In the late
war. Although having endured all the
hardships and privations of life in the
ranks, Mr. Scace bears his more than
half a century of years with an elastic
step and a keen mind, taking an active
interest in private and public affairs.
Mr. Scace is a member of Berkshire
Lodge, No. 52, I. O. O. F. He enlisted
in the army in 1861', In Company A,
Forty-ninth Massachusetts Volunteer
Infantry, serving under Col. W. F.
Bartlett. First Brierade. First Division.
Nineteenth Corps, with which he par
ticipated in some of the hottest battles
of the war, including Port Huison,
Donaldsonville and Plain Store, where
he was wounded. His time being out. he
was discharged, but soon re-enlisted as
sergeant in Company A, Sixty:first
Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer In
fantry. He was in the battle of Hatch
er's Run, the fight about Petersburg,
and the battle of Sailor's Creek.
After his honorable discharge, June
4, 1865, Mr. Scace returned to Albany
and settled down once again to his
business and social interests. He has
resided In the city ever since. It would
seem that now, of all times, his pace
and happiness would have been unin
terrupted: Such was not to be the case,
for four years ago, while engaged in
superintending the raising of an im
mense smokestack of the Albany Elec
tric power-house, the lever of a
loosened windlass struck him a heavy
blow across the back. The effect of
the blow was not at first apparent,
he being able to leave his Led in a few
days. But the worst was to follow,
for without warning he was seized
with sciatic rheumatism in all its viru
lence. Untold agony followed.
Said Mr. Scace: "I could not sleep
for the pain. No one will know the
tortures the rheumatism gave me. I
don't know how I lived during those
days. I became little more than skin
and bones, and it seemed like life
didn't have anything but suffering in
it. Cures? I tried every so-called rheu
matic cure that was ever invented. I
gave all of them a good trial before
I stopped taking them. My friends
and neighbors recommended remedy
after remedy that they heard of, but
my rheumatism went on Just the same.
Well, after I had almost had the life
tortured out of me, I came across a
newspaper account of Dr. Williams
Pink Pills, and I thought I might as
well add another name to the list as
not, so I ordered some of my druggist.
"1 tell you, I was glad in those days
to hear of anything that could give me
any hope at all. Yes, I got them, and
before I had taken two boxes that pain
began to leave me. Why, I couldn't
understand it. I couldn't imagine my
self being cured. But before I had
taken a half-dozen of those boxes I
was cured. The suffering which had
made my life almost unbearable for so
long had disappeared. I was a new
man.
"I began to get strong. I picked up
in flesh, and I went back to my busi
ness with all the vigor and vim of a
young man. I think everyone who
knows me will tell you what It did for
me. Pink Pills Is the grandest medi
cine ever discovered, and if my recom
mendation will do It any good I want
you to use It. I hope others will heai
of it and be benefited as I have been
Everyone should near or it. i can t sa

lows solely for his own pleasure. Many
little trinkets, carved by the light of
the camp-fire, attest his skill in this
direction.
Far from being solicited to recom
mend the curative which had taken
such a load of misery from his life, in
his gratitude his praise for it Is un
stinted and unceasing. And from his
own statement one may easily see that
when he does cease to sing its virtues
it will be to answer the last muster
ing In. ...
