Conference Work.
Ci.kvki.ano, Ohio, May II,—When
the Methodist KpUcopal general con
ference was called to order the third
ballot for biehop wai announced to
the great audience. It showed (hat
510 yules had been cast. The follow
ing six candidates lead: 0. C, Me
Cabe, 26*; Karl Cranston, Mil; J, W,
K Bowen, 1H6; II A. liuttje, 161; ,1. W.
Hamilton, 131; K, B. Neely, 42.
A fourth ballot was ordered. It
showed that 612 votes were cast and
no choice made, 342 votes being neces
sary to a choice. The leaders were:
McCabe. 243; Buttz, 233; Cranston,
214; Hamilton, 141; Bowen, lOif.
There are two bishops to be elected
and the 612 votes which were cast on
tba fourth ballot indicate the vote
for one bishop only and in reality
represent 1,024 votes. The apparent
discrepancy of only 612 voice being
announced caused some confusion
when In the report of the ballot it
was shown that over 1,000 ballots bad
actually been cast. This explanation
wm rniifli* hv u iIiIai/ilIm In I lies mm fiats
faction ol the conference.
While the tilth ballot v/a» being
counted,.the death of J, W. Heed wa*
announced, and 11 committee on reso
lution* appointed. The Hev. Mr.
William Martlndalc of Kun*a* pre
sented a memorial requeuing <.ongre**
to prohlldt the liccualng of the *ale of
liquor In state* where prohibition wa*
In effect, it wa* adopted and ordered
sent.
The proceeding* were interrupted
by great applause next door, and »oou
Major William McKinley appeared on
the platform. Hishop Joyce presented
him and the air wa* white with hand
kerchief*. Three time* the anplaune
died away and three time* It wa* re
newed. it wa* the greatest ovation of
the conference. !>r. Kynett wanted
to take a recea* at once, hut the mo
tion wa* defeated and the business
waa continued, but the regular rece**
wa* made fifteen minute* ln*tead of
ten, and ncarlv every delegate in the
hou*e took advantage of the oppor
tunity to greet Governor McKinley.
□ After rece** the chair announced
the fifth ballot. It resulted in no
choice, but revealed some remarkable
surprise* The vote ou the six leading
candidate* wa* a* follows: II. A.
Hint*, 20#, Karl Cranston *45, C. C,
McCabe 23b, J. W. Hamilton 137, J, W.
K liowen 75, T. 11. Neeley 21, An
other ballot wa* ordered.
At the meeting of the state of the
church committee a report on socio
logical work written by Hev. l)r. Will
iam Quayle of Kan*a* City wa* 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 wa* returned
to the subcommittee for revision. The
committee took up tne question that
the term of probation l<e 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 usud 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.

Commissioner Kreidenthal says that
the failure of the Htockgrowers’ and

Its nomlnul assets are about 920,000,

value. The books do not show tbe

IOWA PATENT OFFICE REPORT.
I)ks Mom**, May 7.—T. H. Ilnllew.of
Htusrt, la., ha* been allowed a patent
for a campaign badge lu the form of a
bee adapted to be readily fastened to
the lapped of a coat. On tjio wings
urc fixed the portraits of candidates in
such u manner that they are concealed
when the wings are folded, but by
pressing a detent the winga ere
expanded and the portruIts 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 ia
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 president* and
would-be president* 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 specifics*
tions of any United States patent sent
upon receipt of 25 cents, Our practice
is not confined to Iowa. Inventyr* in
other state* can have our service* up
on the same terms os the Ilawkeye*.

From the Albany (N. T.) Journal.
John R Brace, the widely known
contractor and building mover of A I- #
bany, N. V., haa had an unusually In
teresting life, and when seen by a re
porter recently ul his home, No. 16
Bradford street, told of his many ex
periences and adventures while serv
ing under the old Itag In the late
war. Although having endured all the
hardships and privations of life In the
rungs, Mr, Scace bears his more than
half a century of yesr* with an elastic
step and a keen mind, taking an active
Interest In private and public affairs
Mr. Brace Is a member of Berkshire
Lodge, No. 62, I. o. O. F. He enlisted
In the army In lh«2, in Company A,
l'-orty-nlnlh Massachusetts Voluoteuj
Infantry, serving under Col. W F.
Bartlett, First Brigade, First Division,
Nineteenth Corps, with which lie par
(l< Ipttted In some of the hottest battles
of the war. Including Port Hudson,
Donaldsonvllle and Plain More, whet#
he was woundsd, tils time being out, ho
was discharged, hut soon rc enlisted us
sergeant In Company A, Mlxly first
Iteglment, Massachusetts Volunteer In
fantry, He was In the buttle of Hoteli
er's Bun, the fight about Petersburg,
and tho battle of Bailor's Creek,
After his honorable discharge, June
4, 1X86, Mr, Hears returned to Albany
anil settled down once again to his
business and social Interests. He has
resided In the city ever Since, It would
seem that now, of uII times, Ms peace
and happlnes* would have been unin
terrupted. Hueh was not to be the case,
for four years ago, while engaged Ini
superintending the raising of an In/s^
mens# smokestack of the Albany Flec
trlr power-house, the lever of a
nn/FTiiru wiiKiinsn siruca nini n ro-avy
blow mi rose the bock. The effect of
the blow was not at first apparent,
he being able to leave hill bed In a few
daya. Hut the worst waa to follow,
for without warning hr waa seised
with aelatle rheumatism In all Its viru
lence. Untold agony followed.
rtald Mr. Hcace; "I could not sleep
for the pain. No one will know th#
tortures the rheumatism gave me I
don't know how I lived during those
days. I hycHiiie little more than skin
and bones, and It seemed like life
didn't have unythlng hut suffering In
It. (’urea? I tried every so-called rheu
matic cure that was ever Invented I
gave all of them « good trial liefore
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 almoat had the life
tortured out of me, I came across a
newspaper account of Dr. Williams'
1’lnk Pills, and I thought I might aa
well add another name to the flat aa
not, ao I ordered some of my drugglat.
"I tell you, I was glad In those daya
to hear of anything that could give me
any hope at all. Yea, I got them, and r
liefore I had taken two boxes that pain
began to leave me. Why, 1 couldn't
understand It. I couldn't Imagine my
self being cured. Hut before f had
taken a half-dozen of those boxes I
was cured. The suffering which had
made my life almoat unbearable for ao
long had disappeared. I was a new
man.
‘‘1 began to got atrorig. 1 picked up •,#
In flesh, and 1 went back to my busi
ness with all tha vigor and vim of a
young man. I think everyone who
knows me will tell you what It did for
me. Pink Pllla la tha grandest medi
cine aver discovered, and If my recom
mendation will do It any good I want
you to us* it. I hope others will hear
of It and ho benefited as I have been.
Kveryone should hear of It. I can't aay
too much for them,” Mr. Hcace ex
claimed, enthusiastically, in conclu
sion.
Mr. Hcace la now enjoying tha fruits
of an unusually large business, man
aged solely by himself, and covering
almoat the entire eastern portion of the
Htate. Mr. Hcace la also an Ivory
carver of marked ability, which he fol
lows solely for hla own pleasure. Many
little trinketa, carved by the light of
the camp-fire, attest his skill In this
,1 I n
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 eaelly see that
when he does cease to sing Its virtues
It will be to answer the last muster
ing In.
