LINCOLN", May 21. (Special ) During
Iho year Just pawscd the University of Ne
brawka library has grown morn than In any
previous yeur of Its kjlatory. An amount
very close to $10,000 Ma teen expended In
books, binding and periodicals and the ne
cessions to the library have numbered 1.650
bound volumes.
Tho sources from which books aro added
to tho library are as follows: Mont of the
teoks aro bought already bound. The li
brary takes regularly nearly 600 current
periodical and tin so are annually hound,
forming nearly as many volumes. Several
hundred volumes aro also added by dona
tion, Tho I'nlled Staten government Is tho
largest hlnglo donor; but many of tho states,
institutions of learning and Individuals aro
lnciudod in tho list of gifts. During tho
name tlmo the library has alto received sev
eral thousand pamphlets, which arc bound
into volume n soon an enough accumulate
on any one subject. An lntanro of this aro
tho volumes on "Imperialism." and It Is
safo to tay that the University library has
tho beftt collection of tho minor literature
on this subject In tho state.
In the last year ft duplicato department
has been established. It Is not often that
tho university buys duplicates, but very
many are received by gift and in catalog
ing and consolidating the various depart
mental libraries a largo number of dupll
catro have been found which have been pur
chased In the past when buying was not so
carefully guarded ns It Is now. These form
tho binds of exchango and sale. Duplicates
amounting to Jf.O have been sold for ca-h
during tho last year and books from this
department to the amount of even more
have been exchanged with other libraries for
publications and books of equal value. Tho
university has in this tlmo shipped bookn
to the New Yolk public library, tho Boston
public library, tho library of congress, tho
University of Minnesota and tho WUconsIn
Historical society, bcsldrn a great number
of minor exchanges. Tho shipments to

of the document of the various departments
of tho stato government of Ncbraoka.
f'oniplr IIiik ,Mr- of Prrlntllrnls,

increaningly tho medium through which tho
rateat Information and tho most Important
ucicntiflo rcwrarch appears at tho present

of n, university, can be efficient unless cur
rent periodicals aro largely represented.

r'tatlsllcal Society, Journal de Physique,

agricultural subjects, which Is opon not
only for the use of the workers In tho ag
ricultural experiment station and to tho
students of tho Agricultural school, but
freely open for rcforenco and reading to
any citizen In tho state who can rome here

Texas on tho south to North Dakota and
for a considerable territory cast and weit.
This library Is designed to servo students,
scholars and those engaged in educational
work In the wholo state, whllo of course

east were clean together and close to vie-I
lory In the slxte?nth ballot for bishops, taken I
Just beforo thn adjournment of tho seiel-n !
(it tho general Methodist conference todav.
According to the statements made by dele- !
gates who claim to know tho findings of
the tellers thn west, as represented by Dr. I
David II. Moore of Cincinnati, editor of tho ,
Western Christian Advocate, led the east,
ss represented by Dr. J. W. Hamilton of
New York, senior secretary of tbo Freed
men's Aid and Southern Educational so
ciety, by about n dozen otcs. The remit of
tho sixteenth ballot, as It was unofficially
given out tonight, follows:
Whole number of otcs cast, 6o"; ne-:ei-
nary for a choice. I3S. David II. Moore.
425; J. W. Hamilton. 113; J. R. Day, 198.
Dr. Henry Spellmeycr and Dr, Ncely, It
Is said, gained a few votes and the list of i
tcatterlng votes wrs Increased.
Many delegates were certain th.M the first t
ballot tomorrow will concrntrato the votes
of Drs. Moore and Hamilton nnd effect the
election of both, thiiH obviating the execu
tion of the suggestion that tho conference
postpone, tho election.
Rev. F. W. Wnrne, pastor of tho English
church of Calcutta, and Rev. E. W. Parker, '
president of tho Epworth league of India
nnd presiding elder of the conference In
north India, were chosen ns additional mis
sionary bishopr. to Southern Asia.
The fourteenth ballot for bishops resultel:
J. W. Hamilton, 332; J. B. Berry. .120; D.
H. Moore. 2S3; J. R. Day, 1B3; II. Spell
meycr, 103; T. B. Nccly, 73; Little, lii;
Bashfnrd, IS; W. T. McDowell, K; others
from 1 to 10 each; ncosinry to a choice,
-411.
Dr. Berry was recognized.
"Don't withdraw," shouted several dele
gates. Ilr, IIpit.v WllliilrniTR.
"Tbto deadlock han occasioned much un
favorable comment throughout the
church," said Dr. Berry. "I am Joaloua cf
tho honor of tho church which I love and
which han honored mo so greatly. If I
withdraw It probably will break the dead
lock and render an e!o?tlon possible. So, for
the sake of Harmony. 1 nk you to permit
me to withdraw my nnmc."
Cries of "no, no," nnd "don't do It,"
grooteil Dr. Berry.
Judge Loro of Baltimore then moved to
Indefinitely postpone further balloting and
made the chargo that the contest was noth
ing but a game of "you tickle mo and I'll
tickle you."
An outburst of "noes" followed this state
ment. "It's common talk," retorted Judgo Lore.
The motion to postpone was laid on tho
table.
The vote for missionary bishops was then
rend, ns follows: E. W. Parker, B3S; F. W.
Wnrne, 490; nr-.'essary to a choice, 415.
"The chair declares theso two brethren
duly elected," said Bishop Andrews.
Another ballot, thn fifteenth, for tho Epis
copacy wnB then taken. It resulted:
.1. W. Hamilton, 371; D. H. Moore, 362;
J. R. Day, 199; J. E. Berry. 173; II. Spell
meycr, 113; T. B. Ncely, 63; others from 1
to 13 each; necessary to n choice, 446.
The growth of tho sentiment against
further balloting was then shown. The ven
erable John Lnnahan of Baltimore moved
to Indefinitely prstpone further balloting,
"and thus end this wrangling,"
Amid much confusion this was laid on
the tablo by a vote of 31. to 300 nnd an
other ballot was ordered. At Its conclusion
tho conference adjourned for the day.
Only l'.lKlit l)njn I,pft.
During tho next six days the blshopn, tbo
secretaries, tho editors of the Advocates and
tho publishing agents are to bo elected.
Somo of tho great questions which aro to
bo solved will come to the point where tho
conference must dispose of them most Im
mediate, tho far-reaching tlmo limit ques
tion. Tho standing committees havo their
reports ready and are now seeking oppor
tunity to present them. These reports
bring uji tho woman question, the amuse
ment rule, the deaconess problem and other
Important subjects. It is generally admitted
that thcro will be a race between committees
to get in their reports, as there wilt be
numerous recommendations that cannot be
acted on fit all. Tho committees have had
their most Important debates nnd their ses
sions from now on will diminish In Interest.
Several of tho committees will adjourn at
their first meeting this week to meet again
upon call of the chairman.
Elections, when tho two bishops have been
chtsen, will go more swiftly, as there are
sure to bo numerous re-elections' among the
editors and secretaries. Delegates are re
quired to stay until the last day, nnd thero
will be llttln falling off In attendance, Tho
date now fixed for adjournment Is May 29.
Debate on the report of the committee on
Itinerary, concerning tho removal of tho
tlmo limit on pastorates, wns resumed Im
mediately after the taking of the thirteenth
ballot for bishops. Previous to the ballot
ing tho conference, with only eight more
working days beforo It and with a multi
plicity of Important subjects still unheard,
voted to hold morning and afternoon ses
sions after next Wednesday until tho con
ference closes.
Rev. Samuel P. Cadman of New York
spoko In favor of the total abolition of the
time limit. Leonard M. Bacon of the Balti
more conferenco followed with a strong plea
for tho minority report. "There are but
three conferences In this whole Methodist
EpUcopal church that have come here and
asked to have their tlmo limit removed,"
said Mr. Bacon. "How long can Methodism
stand out If you tear down all tho bars?"
Thomas II. Murray of the central Penn
sylvania conference made an eloquent plea
for tho retention of the time limit. At least
fifty delegatcti clamored for recognition when
Mr. Murray closed, but Presiding Bishop
Andrews recognized Abraham E. Swisher, a
lay dolegato if upper Iowa, who also spoke
In tavor of retaining the time limit.
Rov. Freeman D. Bovard of California
argued for the minority report.
Life 'leu n re to Stnnil.
Several propositions to fix nn ngn limit for
the retirement' of blthop were voted down
In tbo committee cn episcopacy today.
Chairman 13. O. Thayer of tho subcommittee
on tenure of the episcopacy olllco submlttca
n report recommending that bishops bo re
tired at the ago of 72 nt a pension to be de
cided upon by the book committee. Dele
gate Hammlll nmended so as to retire the
bishops at 70 years of age, but this was de.
feated after considerable discussion. A
minority report of tho subcommittee pre
sented by Dclcgato J. C. Magco. recom
mending the life tenure remain unchanged,
was finally adopted. It was decided to sub
stitute tho word superannuated for non-cf-feetlvo,
as applying to retired bishops.
Tho proposition to amend tho book of
discipline so ns to Incorporate a provision
specifically ptoblhltlng bishops from engag
ing In outside work not directly connected
with the episcopacy was defeated after a
heated diacunjion.
' Foreign episcopal residence were located
nt Zurich, Switzerland, and Shanghai, China,
during the ensuing quadrennlum. Blahops
Joyce and Cranston, it Is said, will be as
signed to these citlea by the conference.
I The episcopal residence in the United

ing of the committee called for tomorrow.
Tho committee on Itinerary will report to
tho general conference in favor of a general
amendment to the general restrictive rule,
which will provide for the nomination of

ST. LOUIS, Mo.. May 21. The report of
the board of fissions for freodmcn and the
cocsldcratlon of the Westchester overture
occupied the morning session of the Prcs-
byterlan general assembly today. The first j
pleasant day since the opening of the nssem- ,
bly. together with the refreshing rest of
Sunday, Increased the number of visitors in
attendance, and ns the proceedings pro
gressed the Interest in the work of the as
sembly grew materially. i
Besides this business Moderator Dickey
announced the appointment of committees
on the records of synods. Dr. Roberts, tho
stated clerk, read a telegram containing
fraternal greetings from the general assem
bly of the Presbyterian Church South, In ses
sion at Atlanta, Ga. A report which gained
Interest ns the discussion proceeded was that
of the board of missions for frcedmen. The
report was presented by Rev. E. Trumbull '
Lee, D. D., of Cincinnati, who told of the i
work dono during the last year. The re- i
reipts, bo srld, were sufficient to maintain !
tho work at a cost of $132.f7R nnd also pay I
$17,897 of the debt. The receipts of 1900 for
current work were $5,035 in excess of the
year before, which would have loft I22.46S
as balance If the expenses bad been kept
within tho limit cf 1899. They were In
creased, however, by $12,752. cutting the bal
ance to $8,715. The shortage In the old debt
nccount was $3,030, which was paid out of
the surplus. The balance In tho treasury
Is $192.
Aiiio'iint of Ihr Work'.
The extent of the work is shown bv the
following figures: Ministers. 199; churches;
and missions, 339; addfd on examination,
1.S11: added on certificates. 1S3; schools
321; Sunday school scholars, I!.5SC . number
cf schools, 64; number of teachers. 231;
pupils. 9,132. The nmount contributed to
tho support was $71,762. an Increase over
the amount reported last year of $7,1S3.
Tho Presbyterian frcedmen gave to the sup
port of their own churches and ministers
$33,981, an Increase of $1,854.
Dr. Leo said there were many Indications
that the ImportauT of the problem of tho
education and el"Vatlon of the siuthern
negro was tnklng n deeper hold upon the
minds of thoughtful men both north and
pouth. Industrial schools, Dr. Lee con
tinued, seem to have come more promi
nently to the front of late and to have
caught tho public favor; so much so that
at times there seems to be a danger of
shoving other schools of training and other
lines of development' aside as foreign to
tho problem.
Dr. Leo made a few supplementary re
marks on tho report and set out by se
verely scoring Rev. Henry Frank for his
statement, made In Carnegie hall, Now York
City, Sunday, that "emancipation was a
failure."
The board of frcedmen was one of the
large boards of the church. Tho speaker
gave a summary of figures which showed
unusu?! results from the personal efforts of
the frcedmen themselves.
Following thn speech of Dr. Lee. Rev. E.
P. Cowan, D. D. of Pittsburg, secretary nf
the board, made a speech, pleading for in
creased Interest in tho work of evangeliz
ing the frcedmen. Ho was followed by Prof.
Thomas E. Miller, L.L. D., president of the
Agrlculturnl collge at Orangeburg, S. C.
Prof. Miller Is n colored man, born on a
rice plantation in South Carolina. He was
educated for the legal profession. Prof.
Miller et forth the claims of the Industrial
schools of the frecdmen in an eloquent nd
dress, which held the close attention of tho
assembly.
Rov. E. A. Torronce. a colored preacher of
Hot Springs, Ark., spoke along tho same
lines. Rev. Torrence received the applause
of the, assembly when he made known his
position on tho proposed revision of tho
creed, by declaring that tho frcedmen should
be trained under tho Calvinism of the West
minster confession of faith. After the tu
multuous applause had died away Dr.
Dickey, the moderator, said a lew moro
speeches like -that would do no hnrm. The
report was adopted as "a wholo unanimously.
Knox Present" llrport.
Rev. Dr. George William Knox, professor
of Union seminary, presented the report of
tho Presbytery of Westchester, Conn., on
the question of ministerial representation In
church Judiciaries. The overturo embraced
a proposed chango of section 2, chapter x,
of the form of government by substituting
the following amendment:
"A presbytery consists of active members,
nnmely, nil pastors nnd one ruling elder from
each congregation within a certain district;
also all ministers residing In such district
nppointed by the presbytery, or a superior
Judicatory, to dome particular work of tho
church under control of tho appointing Judi
catory while engaged In such work, and all
other ministers on Its roll.
"In the presbytery all members shall have
the right to sit and speak, to serve on com
mittees, and shall bo eligible to office, but
active members only may vote. No pres
bytery shall consist of Iwd than five minis
ters who are active members."
"The principle embodied In the overture,"
said Dr. Knox, "Is that tho men who do tho
work of tho church should shape the policy
of the church. It divides tho vote of the
presbytery Into two classes, those who vote
and those who do not vote. The voting
power Is given to those men who are on an
equality In the presbytery "
Rev. F. Penticoat of Yonkers, N. Y.,
made an eloquent appeal for tho overturo
and opposed an amendment to tho over
ture which was Introduced In the discus
sion to embrace In the voters those clergy
men who bad been honorably retired.
The assembly voted to band the over
ture as It was submitted down to tho
different presbyteries of the church for

Finally Came with the Use of

The itiffertrJB and .agony endured by
the unfortunate person who Is de

ciated by those to whom a merciless
fate has brought the same experience.
To lie in bed, minute after minute,
hour after hour, night after night, un
able to close an eye! To roll and toss
and thrash the bed clothes to walk
the floor, bark and forth, to and fro,
wishing, longing, praying for sleep to
come and close the bloodshot eyes,
and 'rest the weary brain! To look
ahead and see looming up In tho near
future the horrible specter of threat
ening Insanity that awful state In
which a person Is lost to himself and
to his friends forever these aro but a
part of the agonies endured by the
sleepless one. For all of which there

Aittleifle UrmalnRii,
In the recent wars gunshot wounds have
proved less serious than formerly. This Is
owing to the use of antiseptic dressings
which cause tho parts to bcal without mat
uration and In much less time than by the
old treatment. Every family may use a sim
ilar treatment for cuts, bruises and burns,
viz: Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Il acts on
tKe same principle as tho antiseptic dress
Ings of the army surgeons nnd Is the best
home treatment that can be given such in
juries. It causes them to heal quickly nnd
without maturation. It also nllays the pain
of a burn or scald nlmo3t Instantly. It Is
most widely known, however, ns a euro for
rheumatism.
