Ox the farm of George Henpgler. eight miles uorthoa*t of Columbus, in the famous Shall creek valley, is a curious phenomena in the shape of a ••breathing- well” which draws in air In cold weather and emits air with, a rush in warm weather. Eager to know what underlies the surfase Mr. Henp fhr will bore down and investigate. Hkv. Whitmkh, pastor of the Metho dist church at Osceola, has been given a vacation that he may indulge in much needed rest. Freeman Scott, an old settler living near Benkelman, was seriously injured in a runaway, and owing to his age, it is doubtful if he will recover.

There has been quite a complaint at Table Kock in regard to the chinch bugs, which have got quite bad. “In oculated bugs’’ from the university faculty have been sent there and two or three farmers are experimenting with them. Between these and the fine rain it is thought they will soon be a thing of the past.

The state military board has passed a resolution recommending a brigade encampment of the national guard, notwithstanding an apparent lack of funds with which to meet expenses The last annual encampment cost ¥12, 000, much less than previous ones. There is said to be ¥13,000 of state funds available for the next year's work, and out of that sum there is to be taken ¥3,000 for armory rent and about ¥3,000 for contingent expenses This leaves about ¥0,000 for encamp ment expenses ■ At a meeting of tho state board of educational lands and funds, lioone county bonds to the.amount of ¥23,000 were bought as an investment for the permanent school fund. The bonds bear 5 per cent interest and run for twenty years State Treasurer Hartley contended that the board could not take money from the general fund to pay a premium for bonds Fourteen ¥50 coupons were ordered clipped from the bonds in order to comply with the treasurer’s theory.

AN OVATION TO M’KINLEY THE METHODIST CONFERENCE EN THUSIASTICALLY CHEERS HIE BALLOTING FOR BISHOPS. Committee of the State of the Church Rtcommeoil) Some Radical Changes —Another Measure Bronchi Dp Calculated to Degsen the Authority of Bishops— . Conference Work. Ci.evei.asd, Ohio, May 18.—When the Methodist Episcopal general 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. Me Cabe, 252; Earl Cranston, till; J. W. E. Bowen, 165; H. A. Buttz, 154; J. W. Hamilton, 138; 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, 213; 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 512 votes'being announced caused some confusion wuen in the report of the ballot it was shown thut over l,uOO ballots had actually been cast. This explanation was made by a delegate to the satis faction of the conference. While the fifth ballot was being counted, the death of J. W. Reed was announced, and a committee on reso lutions appointed. The Rev. 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 tim^s 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 the 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 the fifth ballot. It resulted id# no choice, but revealed some remarkable surprises The vote on the six leading candidates was as follows: H. A. Buttz, 266, Earl Cranston 345, C. 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 Quayle 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. A “KATY" STRIKE LIKELY. Brotherhood at Engineer* Dranidi Im peratively Reinstatement ot Lwunu. Denison, Texas, May 18.—The griev ance committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, which has been to St. Louis to lay the case of Engineer Will Lanams before the Mis souri, Kansas & Texas officials, re turned yesterday and reported that the company refused to reinstate Lanams.

The Governor Respites Pollard and Harris Ooce 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 far 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. Hefore 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 rn 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 wr.'t. 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-day. 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 COMPLEX CRIME. A Hone Blown Cp and Two or Three Murder* Committed.

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 86,000 and it did a large business with cattle men. Its nominal assets are about $20,000, 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 >’nravel the tangle. The president, Oi monel Ham ilton, is short at least $13,000 and he says he has no idea what has become of the money. The depositors are in dignant, and Hamilton probably will be prosecuted.

Ballcw, 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 tjic 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 wingo are expanded and the portraits and sen timents of the wearer flashed upon observers. To be the author of a 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 mechanic 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 sent upon receipt of 35 cents. Our practice is not confined to Iowa. Inventors in other states can have our services up on the same terms as the Hawkeycs. Thomas G. and J. Ralph Orwio, Solicitors of Patents.

Scaee Speaks to ■ Reporter of' Stirring Scenes—Escaped With a Slight Wound, Bat, Like Other Veterans, Hat ■ Suffered Since—A Story that Reads Like. • Page from History. From the Albany (N. T.) 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 ly0'1^ ^,thouKh 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, r “ca-ce is a member of Berkshire Lodge, ISiO. 62, I. O. O. P. He enlisted In the army Jn 1862, in Company A, rorty-nlnth Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, serving under Col. W. F. Brlgade- F1rst Division. Nineteenth Corps, with which he par ticipated in some of the hottest battles* of the war. Including Port Hudson, ICnfll/ICnnirilU —_3 t»i . _ * he was wounded. His time being out. he was discharged, but soon re-enlisted as sergeant In Company A, Sixty-first itegiment, Massachusetts Volunteer In tantry. He was in the battle of Hatch 5 J1UI\ the flirht about Petersburg, and. the battle of Sailor’s Creek. , is« iiIs honorable discharge, June ,^r- Sface returned to Albany and settled down once again to hie business and social Interests. He has resided in the city ever since. It would’ Se^P\.that. now> of a11 times, his peace 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 bed in a few days. But the worst was to follow, ror 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. "I 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 J 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 hear of it and be benefited as I have been. Everyone should hear of It. I can't say too much for them.” Mr. Scace ex claimed, enthusiastically. In conclu sion. Mr. Scace is now enjoying the fruits of an unusually large business, man aged solely by himself, and covering almost the entire eastern portion of the State. Mr. Scace is also an ivory carver of marked ability, which he fol 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.
