.Snored Hymns.
LINCOLN. Aug. 9. (Special Telegram.)
Ono of the best programs of tho entire
weik marked the final day of the Ne
braska Epworth assembly. Two lectures
by Illshop Hamilton, an address by Maud
Ilalllngton Ilooth and music by tho Arion
Ladles' quartet of Chicago were tho main
features and these nttracted thousands of
people to tho park to swell the numbers
of those camping there. ,
What promised to bo a bitter strife
arose tnis evening over n resolution pre
sented by the resolutions committee, which
read as follows:
Resolved. That while ve do not Intend
nnv reflretlnn nn imv one whomsoever, we
feel compelled lo condemn mo practice ni
referring to men In high oltlclai positions
In terms of disrespect und reproach, ns wo
lo not record such reference to lie in Keep
ing with tho rules of our church, and we
nnsltler It uh contrnrv to the teaching of
our Kpwortn i.cngtin nnd inconsistent witn
the love and charity that should charac
terize liirisuuns.
This was nt onco seized upon by a certain
faction In tho meeting as a thrust nt W. A
llrubakcr of 1'corla, III., who has from tho
first had charge of the dally temperance
congresses, In connection with this worn
Mr. llrubaker has often stated that the
party In power Is reBponslble for the liquor
trnmc in this country and lie nas caueu
President McKInley and his followers cow
ards. Tho resolution presented Is tho out
growth of a feeling against llrubakcr on
this account, although its authors Intended
It to be Impersonal In text.
Object to MvenltiK Dress,
The resolution wns adopted, but then A
A. Knndall of Rising City moved to recon
sider, saying that If Mr. llrubaker was to bo
censured the Arlon Lady quartet should nlso
bo scored. In this Mr. Ilandnll voiced tho
sentiment of tho older and more rural por
tlon of tho Epworthlans, who were greatly
shocked because tho numbers of tho quar
let nppearcd at tho evening concerts In
decollete, gowns and sang light music In
stead of holy hymns. Mr. Itandall then
spoke to his motion, saying that no man
should allow the halo surrounding n high
office to blind his eyes to tho fnults of tho
Incumbent, and that any man wns a coward
who would not speak his opinion of such
an ofllclal.
This called forth a storm of protest and
angry denial. It was Insisted that tho res
olutton was entirely lmporsonal nnd was
not pointed at Mr. llrubakcr nor anyone
else. After a hot discussion tho motion to
reconsider carried and the resolution was
then laid on tho tnble.
Tho reports of the closing conference In
illcate that by far tho most prosperous Ne
braska assembly has Just been concluded
Thero Is now In the treasury a total cash
amount of $1,254.41, and tho membership
has been Increased in the last year 500, the
total now being 3,918. The unexpected sue
cess of the present assembly has been i
mattor for considerable comment, but It Is
generally conceded to bo due entirely to
the excellence of tho program prepared
Tho expectation of hearing such men as
DIshop John Wesley Hamilton, Mshoj:
Charles D. Galloway, Dr. Gunsaulue and
Major A. W. Hawks was what was mainly
Influential In bringing 3,000 people from
over the stato to camp for nine days in
Lincoln park.

Officers for tho year wero elected during
today's conference. All thoso now holding

there tuny bo somo truth In the charge tlmt
tne republican puny is res poiisiuio tor mo

The question Is whether the people would

A few years nun wo witnessed the nd-
verse situation. There was a general ami
widespread drouth in tho stute. Tho seed

parched and dry. The farmer had neither
corn nor weeds In the Ileitis, but stilling.

It's such n common thing. Father can't

In unheard of. The children scurry through
their nier.Iu, eager to get out of the house
until ' bed time. Thero Is no exaggeration
In saying that If Intemperance Is the chief
foe of the home It finds a close second In
dyspepsia.
"HASTE MAKES WASTE."
That proverb may flud a broader applica
tion than to the ordinary economics of labor.
IluBto to bo rich makes waste ot strength
and health. Thcro'a an attempt lo eat In

Naturo some day revolts, and the result Is
the development of the dyspeptic.

Hut peoplo pay very llttlo attention to
the redeeming of homes from the shadow of

And yet the cure of dyspepsia, "stomach

I took two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden

writes Clarence Carncs, Esq., of Taylors

pleased with It I hardly know how to thank
you for your kind Information. I tried a

There wns a gentleman told me about your
medicine, how It had cured his wife. I
thought I would try a bottle of It. Am now
glad tlint 1 did, for I don't know what I
would havo done If It had not been for Dr,
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery."
I used ten bottles of Dr. Plereo's Golden
Medical Discovery anil several vials of his
Pleasant Pellets' a year ago this spring, nnd
havo had no trouble with Indigestion since,"
writes Mr. W. T. Thompson, of TownBcnd,
llroadwatcr Co., Montana. "Words fall to
tell how thankful I am for tho relief, as I
had r.uftercd so much and It seemed that the
loctorn could do me no good. I got down In

work at all. Now I weigh nearly 1G0 and

THE PART THE STOMACH PLAYS
In tho economy of health and life Is little
understood. No ono feels anxiety at tho de

liver, lungs, kidneys and otner organs, uavo
their origin In the diseased condition of tho
stomach and tho allied organs of digestion
and nutrition.
'(ho reason for this is plain. Tho blood
Is tho life. Rut back of tho blood is food.
In tho marvelous ehonilral proecsca of na
turo blood Is mado from food when It has
been illcented Und assimilated. Hut when
m-8tim '"p-'"'" TniZn t
body Is InHtantly reduced. Antl when tho
nutrition of the body Is reduced each organ
nf thn body must exist on short rations. A
man who Is not adequately fed growB weak.
Hut a man, physically Bpealilng, Is made up
of his members and organs, and to say a
man is weak only means that the several
organs of his body are weak. Thus when
the stomach Is "weak" tho man Is weak.
When Impulrod digestion reduces tho nutri
tion of the body, tho vital organs which
mako up the body arc "weak" also. Hencn
the results of weakntvs of the stomach and
Its allied organs aro "weak" heart, "wcul:
lunge, sluggish liver, "weak kldreys" and
kindred ailments. When Uio stomach and
Its allied organs aro restored to health by
tho use of "(loldon Medical Discovery," Ihe
body and lis organs receive thc-lr duo uour
lbbmcnt and diseases of heart, liver, lungs,
kldnejs, etc., duo to lack of nourishment,

General debility, the run-down antl
broken-down condition to often experienced
by hard working men and women Is com
monly the result of lack of nutrition due to
disease of the stomach.

HELPS OUT THE IRON MARKET
Mx port Trade mid Iteiliteeil I'roilue

iluee .NtoehN.
NEW YORK. Aug. 9. "The only effective
remedies to rcstoro tho Iron Industry to
a normnl and sound condition nro now being
automatically applied and will do more to
Inspire confidence than nil palliatives.
Thero Is an extremely shnrp reduction In
tho production of pig Iron and qulto nt
actlvo export movement, with the prospect
that tho latter will expand considerably,
since tho margin now Is very satisfactory."
So says tho Iron Age, which In Its Issun
ndds: "As bearing on thn first point, our
reports from blast furnace owners show
that furnnces havo been blown nut whole
sale during July, milking n staggering re
duction In the active producing capacity on
August 1. At that tlatn -J10 furnnces of nil
kinds were In blast, with a weekly
capacity of 244,120 tons, ngalnst 2S1 furnareB
on July 1, with a weekly capacity of 283,
413 tons. This Is restriction of production
In earnest and It should soon put thn pig
Iron market in belter shape, particularly
when It Is com tiered Hint the movement has
not yet exhnaited Itself. In fact, In an
Informal mnnner, the furnace owners of
tho rentrnl west havo derided lo bank a
number of stacks on September 1 which aro
now running.
"Tho furnnces which have been blown out
In tho lust month are scattered nil over
tho country. In some Instances tlm
proprietors of the furnaces blown out state
that their action Is taken for thn purpose
of making repalis, hut In such limes an
these repairs nro not usually dnno under
pressure, and It may be assumed that aftor
the repairs aro completed such furnaces will
not be blown In unless their product In
needed. Meanwhile other furnaces uro tn
ho blown out as soon ns stock now In hand
Is tlBCfl.
"It Is truo that tho August report .ins
a further accumulation of stocks, bill tho
rato of reduction of output In tho last month
represents about 170,000 tons per month, or
nbotit double the recent monthly rato oil
accumulation of metal.
"In the meantime tho cloBlug down nf so
many rolling mills on account of labor dif
ficulties and for other causes must lead to
a steady depiction of stocks of finished,
goods, so that In that direction, ton, thn
situation is becoming Intrinsically sounder.
"Then wn are finding relief In our ex
port trade. Very considerable quantities;
of steel billets, tin plato and sheet bars,
skelp, wlrn rods antl finished nrlleleR bavn
been shipped nnd havo been contracted fop
shipment nt prices which net rather better
than for the homo market. In nplle of thn
fact that they aro very much lower than,
those ruling In tho DrltlBh open markets.
In other words, thero Is tho prospect that
considerable addltlntinl business may bo put
through, although freight rates aro high
and show a stiffening tendency. Costs
abroad nrn on a high level, through scarco
fuel, high labor ami toady ores.
"Prices here aio In somo extent un
balanced, finished products being relatively
much lower than the cruder or scml-flnlsherf
forms, n condition of affairs which practically
rules out thise who do not control tho
materials fnm the ground up. If tho de
mand must full upon I hem for product thn
raw mutcrlal must drriinn 0r tho finished,
product must udvauce."
