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.

the company refused to reinstate
Lanams.
The grievance committee formed a
federation with the six organizations
of trainmen and the most extensive
strike in the history of the Southwest

such an ultimatum has been sent to

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.
Fremont, Ohio, May 18.—At mid
night the family of Jacob Hess was
aroused by an explosion that shat
tered their home, but injured no one.
Hess and his two sons prepared to
leave the house to ascertain the cause
and had hardly stepped out when a
shot was fired and Hess dropped dead.
Subsequent shots killed one and
wounded the other. The murderer
escaped. Suspicion points to a young
farmer, Louis Killou, who lias been in
love with Hess’ daughter, but was ob
jected to by the father and brothers.
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 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.

course had been adopted, and there

IOWA PATENT OFFICE REPORT.
Des Moines, May 7.—T. S. 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.

• 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. 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.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in
a condensed form, all the elements nec
essary to give new life and richness:
to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. Pink Pills are sold in boxes at
50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and
may be had of all druggists, or direct
by mail from Dr. Williams' Med. Co.,.

of the amount of color and style that
