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 512,000 : ! 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.

take money from the general fund to
pay a premium for bonds. Fourteen

the bonds in order to comply with the
treasurer's theory.

thoroughly reliable are solicited , as
the Nebraska Club particularly requires -
quires that any and all matter sent out

line letter will be furnished him each
month if desired , leaving him .very lit-
tle to do but copy it and add a few per-

AN OVATION TO M'KiNLEY f '
THE METHODIST P 1 S CONFERENCE EN
THUSIASTICALLY CHEERS HIE
BALLOTING FOR BISHOPS.
Committee of the State of the Church
Recommends l Some Kadical Changes
" -Another Pleasure : Brought Up
Calculated to Lessen the
Authority of His hops-
Conference Work.
Cr.EYlu.AXD : , Ohio , May : : IS. - 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. McCabe
Cabe , 2u2 ; : : ; Earl Cranston , 191 ; J. W.
E. Bowen , 105 ; H. A. Buttz , 15.1 ; J. W.
Hamilton , 138 ; E. B. Neely .
A fourth ballot was ordered. It
showed that 512 votes were cast and
no choice made , 3-1- ! votes being neces-
sary to a choice. The leaders were :
McCabe , 213 ; Butt , 233 ; Cranston ,
214 ; Hamilton , 141 ; Bowen , iO'.t.
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 : > L'2 : votes being
announced caused some confusion
when in the report of the ballot it
was shown that over loOO ballots had
actually been cast. This explanation
was made by a delegate to the satisfaction - i
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 timps 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 i
tion was defeated and the business I
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.
DAfter recess the chair announced
the fifth ballot. It resulted in no
choice , but revealed some remarkable
surprises. The vote on the six leading
candidates was as follows : H. A.
Buttz , 206 , Earl Cranston 245 , C. C.
McCabe 'J30 ! , J. W. Hamilton 137 , J. W.
L'f 21 . An-
other ballotwas 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 departure -
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 subcommittee -
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 of Engineers Demands Imperatively -
peratively Reinstatement of Lanams.
DENISON , Texas , May IS. - 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 , returned -
turned yesterday : and reported that
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
is threatened. A committeeman told
a reporteryesterday to state offi-
cially that unless Engineer Lanams
was reinstated in five days there
would not be a wheel ; in motion on
any part of the Missouri , Kansas &
Texas system. It is understood that
such an ultimatum has been sent to
the headquarters of the company.

ORDERED HANGED MAY 29.
The Governor Respites Pollard and
Harris Once Again.
KANSAS Ci ( ' ) ' xMay 18. - Governor
Stone granted a respite yesterday to
Foster Pollard and Frank Harris and
ordered that they be hanged May [ : ! U.
This was done in order to prevent fur-
ther legal complications.
Judge Dobson did not have an opportunity -
portunity to hear evidence and argu
ments this mcJrning on the writ of
habeas corpus for the release of Pol-
lard and Harris. Before 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 bit
superior court to a court of inferior
jurisdiction and powers , requiring it
to send up the proceedings in 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 I
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 - jurisdiction -
tion to issue the writ as he did , it will
send the case back to him. If it decides -
cides otherwise , Pollard and Harris
will be hanged , unless respited by the
erovernor.
A COMPLEX CRIME.
A house Blown Up and Two or Three
Murders Cum " titted.
FREMONT , Ohio , May IS. - At- midnight -
night the family of Jacob Hess was
aroused by an explosion that shat-
tered their home , but injured no one. I
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 Billou. who has been in
love with Hess' daughter , but was objected -
jected to by the father and brothers.
A Bank Wretchedly Kun.
TOPEKA , Kan. , May : : I5 ? . - State Bank
Commissioner Breidenthal says that
the failure of the IStockgrowers' and
Farmers' bank at' Meade was one of
the worst that has come under his
notice. Its capital was § 0,000 and it
did a large business with cattle men.
Its : nominal assets are about § OOOO ,
I 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 unravel the
tangle. The president , Orinond Ham
ilton , is short at least 812,000 : ! and he
says he has no idea what has become
of the money. The depositors are indignant -
dignant , and Hamilton probably will
be prosecuted.

Horace Boies at the head of the dele
gation , and it is very likely to instruct -
struct for him as a presidential candi-
date.
The Rockford Watch Company Fails.
ROCKFORD , 111. , May 18.-The Rock-

IOWA PATENT OFFICE REPORT.
DES MOINES , May 7. - T. S. Hallow , of
Stuart , Ia. , 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 tie wings
are fixed the portraits of candidates in
such a manner that they are concealed
when the wings arc folded , but by
pressing a detent the wingr are
expanded and the portraits and sentiments -
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 coining
generations may be a nobler triumph
. than to win a presidential race. It is
a hope , too , that many may reali/e.
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 benefactors -
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

John A. Scaco Speaks
Stirring Scenes-Escaped With , a Slight
Wound , But , Like Other Veterans , Una '

a Page from History. {
.i
From the Albany : ( N. Y. ) Journal. f
:
John B. Scace , the widely known
contractor and building mover of Al-
bang : N. Y. , has had an unusually : interesting -
teresting life , and when seen by a reporter -
porter recently at his home. No. 15
{
Bradford street , told of his many : experiences -
periences and adventures while serv-
ing under the old Hag in the late
war. Although 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. t
Mr. : Scare is a member oC Berkshire
p
Lodge , No. f.2 , I. O. O. F. lie enlisted
f'
in the army : in 1862 , in Company A , _ ' {
Forty-ninth Massachusetts : Volunteer
Infantry , serving under Col. ! AV. F. " }
Bartlett First Brigade First : Division , it
Nineteenth Corps , with which he participated - i
ticlpated in some of the hottest battles -
of the war including Port Hudson , \
Qonaldsonville and Plain Stores where l
he was wounded. His time being out he
was discharged , but soon re-t > nistl'll as .
sergeant in Company A , SIxty-tlrst . . '
Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer In -
fantry. He was in the battle of Hatch- )
er's Hun , the light about P'-tersburg ,
and the battle of Sailor's Creek.
After his honorable discharge Juno ;
4 , 1SG5 , Mr. Scaco returned to Albany
and settled down once again to his
business and social interests. Ho has
resided in the city ever since. It would
seem that now , of all 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 ,
for without warning he was seized
with sciatic rheumatism in a'J ! ' its viru
lence. Untold agony follow , d. ,
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-cilled rheu-
matic cure that was ever inv { > ntl'fl. 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. ! , i
Veil , after I had almost had the life
tortured out of me , I came across a.
newspaper account of Dr. Williams' l
Pink Pills , and I thought T might as ,
well add another name to the list as 1 jr , .
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 : P
before I had taken two boxes that pain , !
began to leave me. AVhy. 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 ,
long had disappeared. I was a new . - ' , ,
man. 1 ,
"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- 1
mendation will do it any good I want
you to use : : it. I hope others will hear
of it and lie benefited as I have been. j
Everyone should hear of it. I can't say
too much for them , " Mr. Scace ex i
claimed ! , enthusiastically , in conclu- . :
sion. I
sion.Mr.
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 I
State.11' . 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. I
Far from being solicited to recom-
mend the curative which had taken
such a load of misery from his life in I
his gratitude his praise for it is unstinted -
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 ? i
50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 , and'
may ; be had of all druggists , or direct 1
by mail from Dr. Williams' Med. Co. , . _

The rose turban is a brilliant sample

spring greens are used liberally , 'and '
thorned stems stand tall and straight
