It WM nultoOiHO before III. Ilov. CloorRO
Worthlng'ton entered the cry plot Trinity en-
Ibodral to open the second day's session of
the twenty-llfth annual mootina nt the dlo-
cosan council of tno Episcopal church of Ne
braska.
The special order wns called up , being the
proposed amendment to canon xxvill , that
tha expenses of the dolngatos to the trien
nial conference bo provided for by nn offer-
Ine to be taken up on the first Sunday In
Mopiembor for n fund to bo divided between
the dclciralcs.
Kov. Irving Johnson opposed the canon on
the ground that It would be dinicult to han
dle the funds , nnd would make unnecessary
confusion , for the offerings might amount to
$300 or $1,000.
The canon proposed nt the first day's
meeting by Mr. Stowoll was then called up
providing for the payment of mileage to the
cclcgatcs to the triennial conference from a
fund specially provided for the purpose.
Mr. Stowcll said thnt It wns adellnlto propo
sition , for each parish would then know Just
what it had to do.
Mr. Jntnci Canflold thought the proposed
cnuon wns definite , but should como out of
the ponornl Item of the general budget.
Ilov. Mr. Llwyd thought the honor of being
n delcgnlo to the general conference should
bosuftlclont to place the matter outside of
financial lines. That money consideration
should bo no pnrtof sending men to so em
inent n uodv nnd moved that the whole
matter he laid on the tablo.
Ilov. John Williams called for n vote by
orders.
The roll call on the question to lay on the
tanlu resulted : Ministerial ayes , 5 ; nays ,
t'O ; lay nvcs , It ; nays , ll > .
AfiurdlscuHsltig'lhu regularity of the vote
nnd rending the canonical law regarding the
method of casting the lay vote , the bishop
nnnounced thnt the motion to lny on the table
was lost.
l.lui tliii I'linr .11 ii ii u clmnru.
Ilov. Mr. Johnson said the trouble with
the churches throughout the country was
they would Invariably send wealthy men to
the cnnlorenco. lie thought poor laymen
should have u chance to bo sent to the general -
oral conference.
Hcv. John Hewitt agreed with Ilov. John
son upon the general proposition , hut said
ho mid met mnny poor men In tlio general
confoienco. Any additional assessment
would still bo paid by the few , and ho
thought It would work n hardship.
Mr. i'owoll mild that Connecticut wns ro-
pulod lo pay the expenses of the delegates ,
but there was n vo t difference bets-ecu Con
necticut and Nebraska. Ho thought u col
lection could bo levied each year which
would bo Inrpo enough In throi years to send
delegates to the conference. Ho was ouposcd
lo n tax
Hlshop Worthtnglon announced that a tax
tind been levied upon the diocese by the gen
eral conference ( SI.IU ) which had to bo paid
before the delegates were admitted to the
conference , to say nothing of the individual
OXDCIISOS of the delegates.
Kov. John Williams thought it wns not
rlcht lo ei'nd rich men to the conference.
Tlo wanted the rlcht to send a poor man to
the conference if ho was the equal of his rich
brother. 110 thought it a shame and n dls-
prnco that if the church did not pay the ex
penses of the delegates , ho said the honest
working wotkingman wns the bono and
smew of Iho church , and they uro the
people to bo sent nil things being equal.
llev. Mr. Llwyd , was In hearty sympathy
with the idea thnt the church should pay the
faro of tlio delegates. He called attention in
canon xxvill , entitled "Offerings , " which ho
Raid breathed of mission ! ! , diocesan nnd
foreign , but gave him no right tc look after
lift own parish. Ho wns "about to offer a
ivsoln ion gormnno to the question , but the
snocinl order lor 11 o'clock wns called up nnd
the resolution "died u burnin. "
Out mill In AKiiln.
The special order wns upon amending seo-
tlon 3 of canon xxlll so as to rend : "Tho
bishop elinll appoint at each annual council a
dean for rpch convocation district , and each
rural dean shall be a resident of tlio convoca
tion district , for which ho Is appointed , and
tint the general missionary for each district
bo npuointcd thu rural donn. "
Hardly had the amendment been road
when Hov. John \\llllains moved that the
special order bo postponed till II o'clock ,
which carried. And the council was buck
nun in to the consideration of the question
whether the bills of conference delegates
should ho paid.
Dean Oaulner was in honrtv sympathy
'
with taking ui > n collection to dofr.iv'tho ex
penses of delegates and ho spolto earnestly in
favor of tlio method proposed by Mr. Slbw-
cll's now canon.
Canon Dohtrtv had heard a fuod { deal of
talk about , worlcingmen In the church , but
thought It was nil bosh , as his experience
wns i hat the men best Jltted to io to n gen
eral conference were men qulto nblo to pay
their own way , nnd he was opposed to Mr.
Ktowell's proposed now canon.
Dean Hart nnd Mr. Mlllspaugh were in
vited to scats near the bishop.
Mr. Ktownll withdrew his proposed amend
ment and the brethren brca'.hod ngalu.
Itcsnlvrd Somi' .
The regular order of buslnsss was then
taken up nnd the councils listened to the re
ports of committees. Dr. MacnuU from the
commlttea on church education offered the
report of the committee with the following
resolution attached , which wns adopted :

There wus a comfortable feeling among the
delegates , clerical and lav , when the councl
convened nt 2 o'clock j-estordny. They hid
a delightful luncheon served oy the Indies of
llio church , the "old man of the son" In the
shape of the memorial from the Jurisdiction
of the 1'lntto had boon dlspojed of to the
satisfaction of a lift-go majority of the dele
gates and the council begun business im-
mo'J'ntcly ' after the religious services were
completed with the bopo that nil things
would po smoothly to the end , but they
reckoned without , their host.
1'ho tellers appointed to canvass the vote
for mo'nbcrs of the stnndliii ; committee of
the dioccso reported and ut once a light wns
Inaugurated as to who among the lav dele
gates were elected. A dozen delegates
clamored for recognition nnd the bishop
pounded his desk with the zeal born of the
real rules. Judge Wukolov spoke ns to the
nuri.ort , of the canon , declaring certain per
sons elected , in which ho was autugonUud by
Canon Doherty.
So warm did the discussion bcconio that
Kov. John U llliauis called for n legal opinion
upon the question from Chancellor U'ool-
worth , who interpreted the vote cast , for O.
M. Carter and H. W. Yates ns members ot
ihu standing committee. The canon pro
vided thnl a person to be oloiti'd must , have
n majority of all t'.io votes cast , and the
bishop accepted tlio chancellor's ruling nnd
declared thnt there was no election as be
tween Mr. Carter and Mr. Ya'.os and
ordered a new election for the remaining
momhcr of the standing committee , tno live
following being declared elected : llevs. C.
H. Gardner , llobort Dnhcrty. A. W. Macnab ,
Messrs. II. O. Clark and James M. Wool-
worth.

clared O. M. Carter member of the standing
committee.
\VII1 Illivo Archdeacons.
The special order for ! ) o'clock being the
consideration of the change of canon xxiil ,
wns then taken UP. the committee on legisla
tion recommending that the words "rural
dean" bo changed to "archdeacon,11 which
brought to his feet Ilov. John \VIlliams. Hu
said ho liked the bound of "rural donn" be-
cun.so ithad : i sweat sound , something that
sBV-orcd of the country. IIo was opposed to
the tugcin ? in of u lot of meaningless Eng
lish nnmos into the canons of the church. IIo
thought the word "archdeacon" was a mu-
notner , and was opposed to all the paw titles
which it sought to engraft upon the diocos-j
of Nebraska.
lint this modern Savonarola was in the
minority as wns shown by Iho vote which
changed the canon from "rural doan" to
"arctuleacon. "
The following were elected delegates from
the diocese of Nohrnslin to the triennial gen
eral conference which meets In Baltimore

Howott of Lincoln , who was elected after

Dean Hurt ot St. Johns , Denver , was in
troduced to the council and gave a very in
teresting talk upon tlio manner of conductIng -
Ing Sunday schools nnd how his school

Dtnn Gnrdner stated that ho was directed
by the Omaha clcncus to move thnt this
council memorialize the peiicm ! conference
to bold Us next triennial convention in
Omalm and uskcd that llnv. Mr. Llwyd bo
permitted to present the question to the
council.
Mr. Llwyd In speaking unon the question
snld that the maunor In which Omahn was
taking u.iro of tbo general conference war
ranted thu movement on thu part of the
council to bring the convention to Omuha.
Ho ipoku ot tbo catholicity of the church und
held up thu Methodists ns being the ercato < t
wirepuller * nud pollilctani In the country.
Ha said that ho had heard on the lloor of tlio
Methodist conference the assertion that
Kplscopalians wora the smallest sect In the
countrv.
Jiibt then the blshou's gavel full and the
gentleman was interrupted to hour the re
port of the tollers.
Acalu Mr. Lhvyd began hU speech nnd had
hurdlv rounded Iho Urn ponoa when the bis.
hop piunued the desk to hoar a second report -
port of the letters upon the election of dele-
tales , riiuiaruing ' hat ha rograltod to stop
Mr. Klwyd's oLqueaco.
And the report of the letters was again
lUtoncd to by the council. Then calls went
UP for Llwyd. and ho was allowed to complete -
plote hli speech la favor of Instructing the
dclogAllon to the goncrM convention to do ni
In their power to Rot the no < t uo.ioi'.il cj
vcntlon In Omnhu.
IHihop Vvorthiiif.-toii , n cliftinnin of the
council said thnt while ho would bo glad to
nave the gonornl convention moot In Ottnlm.
the city could not in thrco years or six ycnrs
hope to entertain the body for want of pro-
par Incllttlo.s. Ho know the wants of the
body , nnd remarked that In his opinion It
would bo tisolofs to go ahead In tlio matter
until some of the older heads In the dloceso
bo hoard from. And the bMiop's romnrks
put u check upon the boom for Omaha for the
next gcnornl convention.
Mr. A. O. Powell offered n resolution thnt
n vote of thanks bo extended to the Indies
for thu luncheons sorvcd during the sessions
of the council , which wus carried bv a rising
voto.
The bishop nominated ns honorary canons
of the cathedral Ilov. J. P. I ) . Llwyd and
Kov. II. P. Uurgcss. The nominations were
sustained ,
Why Me Opposed It.
Then nenln the question came up as to in-
vitinir Iho general conference to Omaha.
The bishop said thu reason ha opposed tbo
matter was that : the church ivas not a beg-
giiiu body nnd tbouaht It was bonoalh the
dignltv of churchmen lo go about soliciting
from people right nnd left. Ho knew the
capabilities of Omalm , and while ho would
not throw anything In the way ot thu coun
cil , ho thought It useless to think of enter
taining such a largo body.
Ilov. John Williams took the same posi
tion. Ho snld nlro.idy the pioplo Wbio complaining -
plaining about Uio .Methodist brethren nnd Iho
it-eat boom It wns going to give Omahn
seemed very small. Ho moved to lay the
whole matter on the table , and it prevailed ,
Chancellor Woulworth moved that the
bishop appoint u coinmllloo of live to report
candidates for provisional delegates. The
motion prevailed and the bishop appointed
Dr. Doherty , llev. John William * , Mr.
rilowoll , Mr. Harkalow , Hov. Mr. Me-
CrncUcn.

When the llfth ballot was takou upou the
lust clerical dotornto to the general confer
ence ) , nnd It resulted In the election of Mr.
Howcltof Lincoln , that gentleman arose to a I
question of prlvllouo and said , with a tremor
In his voice that told how much In c.iincst hu
wns : "I regret that for the third time the
monibar.s of this council have been put to so
much trouble over my candidacy to the
general conference. Hut ns long ns
six months ngo I was warned that
cortnlu members of this body who
ciuiio to It from another ecclesiastical denom
ination had said that no low churchman
should go to the next ecnoral conference If
they could prevent It" and ho got no
further , for there were notlcoablo hisses
throughout the loom , and the bishop with
lire in his eve called the gentleman to order.
The cummiltoo appointed lo report names
for provisional delegates suggested the fol
lowing : llev. Grorgo W. Flower. Canon W.
T. Wnltmnrsh , Ilov. A. B. Marsh , llev. II.
1J. Hurguis , Mr. Hugh Chirk , H. H. Medny ,
J. K. Smith , f. H. J. Wulsh , and they wore
elected.
A vote of thanks was paused to the people
of Trinity for tnulr kindness and hospitality.
Mr. A. P. Hopkins was unanimously reelected -
elected treasurer of tno dloceso.
Afterrcllgious services and the pronounce
ment of thu blessing by the bishop , the
council adjourned without day.

The authors of "Tho vYIteh" hnvo forbid
den a critical analysis of the historical ac

Get the Genuine
> 1 *
If you suffer with lame back , especially in I\IQ \ morning ,
ALLCOCK'S PLASTERS arc a sure relief. " ' '
If you cannot sleep , try an ALLCOCK PLASTER , well-up between
shoulder blades often relieves sometimes cures. Try
this before you resort to opiates. < * .
If any of your muscles are lame joints stiff feel as if they
wanted oiling or if you suffer with any local pains or
aches , these plasters will cure you.
If you use them once you will realize why so many plasters
have been made in imitation of them. Like all good
things they are copied as closely as the law allows.
Don't be duped by taking an imitation when it is as
easy to get the genuine.
If you always insist upon having
and never accept a substitute , you will not be disappointed.
Are you just at thnt ngo when you're getting to be a perfect crank
about your clothes ? Do you make a vigorous kick if your coat is nn
inch too long to be "right in line , " or your "trouserloons" bag at the
knees ? Does your paternal ancestor still foot the bills , or do you hav ®
to go out and rustle for your own bread and pic and cake ( and occa
sionally "cream for two ) ? " Don't you often wish , when you put on your
old "Sunday-go-to-mash-'em" suit that you were last year , that you
could afford , ( or could talk Dad into affording it ) , one of those new neb
by suits you see around town in the windows marked ten and twelve
dollars. We're going to help you out this week. We've been buying
pretty heavily of those same suits lately getting ready to treat you tea
a surprise party.
