Natural Cas Produces a Bis Boom.
IIersijox, la., Sopt. 20. It is doubtful
if any town in Iowa ever had sucii a
boom as llerdon is now having. It is
all on account of the natural gas found
here. Ten wells have been bored and
in every ease the gas was found at a
depth of from 115 t130 feet. The pres
sure is variously estimated at from 20 to
70 pounds to the square inch. The
llerdon Natural (las and Land company
have necured 320 acres for a town site.
They are men of wealth and experience
and are using every effort to boom the
new town. Quite a number of business
firms have been induced to locate here
and at least three manufacturing estab
lishments have been secured, viz.: A
large foundry and machine shop that
will run entirely by natural xns for heat
and power; a planing mill and a broom
factory. NeLtotiations are now going
un with several others. It is thought
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul corn
pair: will build repair shops here.

sT T.nris. Sent. 20. The national
salute from Camp Washington heralded
the dawning of the day and aroused the
army of veterans and committees whose
duties called them to early trains. A
fine mist dampened the atmosphere this
morning and gradually resolved into a
steady rain. The first train this morning
brought in great crowds of veterans and
visitors. The Pacific slope had hardly

souri contingents reported many men
and announced the coming of many
thousands more. Several hundred have
reported from Pennsylvania. Early in
the morning the Kentucky posts escorted
their department commander to his head
Quarters and then moved to their tents.
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois quietly passed
through the street, seeking shelter and
greeting comtades. By noon the rail
roads had brought iu 10,000 citizens,
soldiers and many more.
The feature of the encampment is the
filtering of largo numbers of old yetcrans
in tents. Tried at each encampment

TnE subject of natural gas for manu
f iftnroi-r find other nurnoses is now at
tracting the attention of well informed
and progressive people in many parts of
the country. The suecess of the I Icrndon
Natural Gas & Land company at Hern
don, la., has created a great excitement
in all central Iowa. There they are now
usin" cas for cooking, lighting and heat-
iu" their houses, and it is believed that
they have there gas iu sufficient quauti
ties for 'manufacturing purposes. They
have also recently discovered natural gas
within three miles of Des Moinc3. To
tho credit of Plattsinouth it can be said
that before there was any excitement at
either I Icrndon or Des Moines, the Platts
mouth Coal and Gas company was form
ed, and about two weeks ago, a contract
i,irni(f for fas was let. It

is to be hoped that our citizens will hur
ry up Lhe funds to enable the contractors
tr nn -.-,nv with their agreement. And if
fortune should favor us with a lucky
strike of gas, Plattsmouth will soon be
rivaled, as a city, only by Omaha, in the
whole state.
The session of the nf-i-; nee ju.-t
closed was nu important one as deb gates
to the gem-lid assembly were eh-cti d,ho'h
clerical and lay. The progressive spirit
of the church is shown by the elccti. -v..
to this highest body it the church. The
delegates are 1 1 new men, and compara
tively young men. He v. C F, Creightoii
I). D., leads the delegation and is ably
supported by lie v. J. W. Stewart and I lev.
A.C. Crosthwait. Progress is noted ulso
by the reports from all the charges, and in
better salaries paid the preachers, church
debts paid, new churches built, increase
in membership and in all the benevolent
collections, the missionary collections be
ing nearly $2,000 above last year. Per
haps nothing marks more surely the pro
gressive character of Methodism in t.ie
west than the (lection of a
..,,.,., ;.
woman as a 1. p-
from the lay conference to the general
conference. Mrs. Angle .-.ewssian is uu-
first woman ever elected by the M. K.
church to this important position, and
the Nebraska conference lias the honor of
inaugurating this new movement in
ecclesiastical history. The lay conference
did no less wisely in electing with Mrs.
Newman. Judge Keece, or anoo, as un-
other delegate.
Time and space forbid any further de
tails of the conference, hut one euiei
event in connection with the conference
a. o i,i-i(.f r.iiiiitliiM. however, that
is, tin- laying of the corner stone of the
Nebraska Weslyan University. The
building is to be a magnificent one and
will stand about a half mile to the souih
of Ilaveloek. The campass coii'i.-ts ol
fortY acres and is surrounded by a plat of
240 acres donated by the friend of the
enterprise. The ceremonies were conduct
ed by Bishop Hurst in the presence of
more than a thousand people. Dr. Moore
chancellor of the Denver Univ. rsity. made
an addrcssjwhich the Lincoln State Jour
nal pronounced one of the most eloquent
ever delivered in Lincoln. The building
will be built of pressed brick with Colo
rado sandstone trimmings, and when
finished will have cost not less than SSO,
000. It is the design of the Methodist
church to concentaate its educational
work here, and crtablish a school that
will be equal to anything in the country,
an honor to the church mid worthy the
patranage of all desiring an education.
The enterprise seems fairly launched and
it is hoped the-school will be open to
receive students one year hence.

The Nebraska Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church closed its twenty-
seventh session on Monday. It was held
in the beautiful St. Pauls of Lincoln
aud was presided over by Bishop J. F.
Hurst whose presidency gave great satis
faction. He also spoke to the conference
on several occasions to the delight of all
who heard him His sermons on Sunday

his ability to handle the word of
God in the light of history, science and
philosophy. He is a man of profound
learning and thoroughly at home in
his chosen work.
Among those present whose fame has
extended beyond the M. E. church, were
Rev. J. M. Thoburn, D. D.; Rev.
G. W. Gray, D. D., and lie v. W. A.

country in the interest of the missionary
cause, and to regain his failing health.
He spoke, to the delight of large and
appreciative audiences.
The Nedraska conference is composed
largely of young men who are enthus
iastic and progressive, aud thoroughly
v...r rm iMihino- thinirs. The business
of the conference was transacted with
intelligent dispatch, and at the close of
the session all went home with the de
termination to make a good record for
the coming year.

corner of Guthrie couuty, 110 miles from
Council Bluffs and fifty-two miles from

there is no town within fifteen" miles in
