One cll'ect of the new election laws
which go into cll'ect this fall is that the

Third Dny of the Conference.
Bishop Bowman called the conference
to order promptly in the morning. Hi'V.
D. Mclnt.yro conducted the devotional
exorcises.
The fourteenth question was taken up.
"What Traveling Deacons Are Elected
Elders ? " The following named brethren ,
having passed satisfactory examinations ,
and being properly it-presented , made
their reports , and were elected to elders'
orders : James E , Niohol , John S. i'liroi-k-
merion , William B. Thompson , Amos E.
Grillit'ii , James II. Senseno.v , vVilllain E.
Harvey , William A.alker. . Brothers

were continued in their present relation ;
Wilbur Fisk was passed and elected to

borough was elected to orders as a local
older.
The following-named persons , candi
dates for full membership in the con
ference , were called forward : Edward
B. Huaton , Simon W. Lauck , W. M. Dud
ley.
Bishop Bowman addressed the class in
a very impressive manner , giving them
very wholesome instructions , drawn from
liis own widle experience.
The candidates rose , and responded to
the disciplinary questions , Quito a rip-
was caused by the remarks of the
Clo
ishop , on the question : "Willyou prom
ise to abstain from the use of tobaccoV"
All responded ullirmatively. The bishop
spoke of the inconsistency of some , who ,
after answering thus , break their prom
ise. Ho remarked that there was no excuse
for a voting men holding on to a habit of
this kind , if he has formed it. As to the
good old man who may have formed the
habit iu early life wo must leave them in
the hands ot'God. And I'm glad wo can
leave them Inure. If they were in my
bauds I think I would have to spank
them sometimes. "
E. B. Heaton and S. W. Lauck were

the report of the statistics.
COUNCIL BIjUFFS DISTINCT.
With gratitude we recognize the good
providence of God in the work of the
church in the Council Blull's district.
Death has como into but one of our
homes. Sister Kate Flemming , wife of
Rev. E. Al. II. 1'lemming , has gone to the
reward of the just. She passeil away in
the enjoyment of the presence of the
blessed Christ , and went down to the
grave without a misgiving.
In all departments , church and parson
age building and improvements , liqui
dation of indebtedness , Sunday schools ,
social meetings , circulation of church
papers , payment of salaries , benevolences
and revivals there has been substantial
and marked advancement. Six churches
have been dedicated free of debt during
the year , namely : At Portsmouth , Locust
Grove , Madison , Randolph , Northboro
and Fremont City. These buildings arc
neat anil commodious , and reflect great
credit on the pastors and people where
they are located. Three new parsonages
have been built as follows : Yorktown ,
Blancherd and Council Blull's. These are
comfortable houses for the 'pastors. The
new building at Council Blufl's is proba
bly the best structure of the kind in the
state. The parsonages at Hillsdale , Mis
souri Valley , Little Sioux , Essex , Astor ,
Kivcrton and Coin have been improved so
that thev are very inviting nouses.
Hamburg" has almost paid oil
the entire amount of old indebtedness.
Coin has entirely paid off the parson-
ugo debt , and raised enough
to insure the church and parsonage for a
number of years. At Silver City the in
debtedness on the church has been can
celled and the note against the trustees
destroyed. Henderson has also paid oil
an embarrassing debt. The church at
Glcnwood has put in alirst-class furnace.
A 800 pound bell lias been purchased for
the church at Defiance. The church at
Struhan was" entirely destroyed by a cy
clone. I'ortunatoly ' it was insured and
the honest company made good the loss
and wo have a new and bettor building
ready for dedication next Sabbath. I
have been earnestly urging , the necessity
of insurance of our property , and but few
buildings in the district , cither churches
or parsonages , are without insurance.
Our Sunday schools , as a rule , are in a
flourishing condition. We are using al
most exclusively our own literature. The
social meetings of the church have
proper recognition and in many places
have become a source of
great spiritual profit. Our advocates
arc more extensively circulated thanovdi
before. The pastors have exhibited un >
wanted energy in this essential part ol
our economy. A reading church will become <
como aggressive , loyal and spirtual. In
the payment of salaries wo have cause
for gratitude. A comfortable supporl
has boon allowed for pastors. Wo sav (
thirty charges , and the aggregate al
lowed for ministerial support , including
claims for pastors , presiding elders'
bishops , conference claimants and hous <
rents amounts to over $3j,003. Tin
delieit will be loss than $50(1 ( on the whoU
amount. This ii a remarkable showing
and the churches deserve commcndatioi
for their liberality in this direction.
Our benevolent collections have beer
carefully looked after. The greal
agencies of the church havu been pro-
dented to the people in an InUdligcn
way , and there has been a willing re
spouse. Wo hone there will bo an in
crease' for every one of these societies
Wu have especially cmpliuKb.ed thogroal
work of missions.
A series of eight conventions were hole
in the interest of this cau c , doing grca
good in awakening enthusiasm and im
parting information on this subject. It
those conventions we wcru assisted b ;
Itcv. Joel A , Smith , a returned mi iori
ary from China. The pastors have booi
in hearty sympathy with the ntovemcu
of the church to raise the "Million fo :
Missions. " There has been an tnspira
tlon in the watchword. Our apportion
ment by the missionary tccratnries aNew
Now York , as our equitable share of tin
coveted million is fi,181. Oureonfcrcnc
informs mo that the pastors and charge ,
make the mairnUiccnt response of eve
$ 'J,000. Last year their was an advanc
in the district of a sum amount
ing to fJOO. And the advanc
this year Is about the same
making a totul increase of 100 per cent ii
the aggregate collection for this cause ii
two years. This year we pay abon
seventy two cents per mombor. Wo con
Hdtuitjy expect to do better next yea
with the favor and blessing of the Grca
Head of thu church.
A notable missionary convention wa
held in Council Blulls , July 0 8. U wa
attended by Chaplain McCabe , Dr. Win.
Butler , Dr. Spencer , and many Of the
loading ministers and laymen of western
Iowa and eastern Nebraska , and accom
plished much good in every way.
A camp-meeting was held at Logan in
July , lasting about eight days. Rev.
Thomas Harrison , the evangelist , was
present and rendered olllcicnt service. It
is supposed there Were over fifty conver
sions. Two district conferences have
been held They were largely attended
by the pastors and other members , and
were sources of profit.
A revival spirit has boon manifest in
nearly every charge in the district. The
pastors have boon alive to the supreme
work of the salvation of the people. Ft om
the best data A can obtain 1 am
safe in estimating the number
of conversions at 850. To God bo all
praise for the year of pence , brotherly
love anil general prosperity. Respect
fully submitted , W. T. SMITH.
The afternoon session was devoted to
the Haddock memorial service. Dr.
Emory Miller , of Des Moines , made the
principal address , and it wits a ringing ,
rousing talk. Ho was followed by sev
eral otners. The anniversary meeting of
the Women's Missionary society was
then hold. The secretary presented a re
port of the work of the year. The meet
ing was then addressed by Rev. Joel A.
Smith , a returned missionary from
China.
In the evening was held the anniver
sary nu'otiiig of the Sunday School union
anil Tract society , which was addressed
by Dr. lliirlburt , of Now Jersey.

This morning Bishop Bowman \vill.dc.-
liver a sermon at the Opera house , in
order that as many as possible of the ck-
i/.ons of Council BlulVs who desire to
hear him may be accommodated. The
following sketch of his life is 'taken from
the Conference Daily :
'J ' Ids wi'll known bishon , who presides nt
our conference for the second time , Is an able
minister , a successful educator ami a wlso
administrator , lie was born at Berwick ,
Columbia county , PH. , July 15 , 1817 , ami pro
paied for college at Wilbraham , Miiss Jgid

latter place he was con veiled anil joined the
-Methodist Episcopal church Jninmrv 1 , ISM
Four years later 1m graduated as valedictorian
of his class at Dickinson college. At
the close of his college course lie liejran
the study of law , but at the end 'of one
year ho abandoned this for the ministry. In
isiS lie acted as airout. for the colonization so
ciety , llavliii ; joined the Baltimore router-
ence in isii'j ' , ho was Stallone * on Heaver
Meadow circuit. From 1810-li ! lie was teacher
in the grammar school In Dickinson college ,
when on account of Impaired health he took
a bupcrmimary relation until 181S. From
1813-58 he was a professor in UlckliibOii sem
inary at YYillliimsport , Pa. Id'siiming the
pastorate in 1858 ho was stationed at Lawls-
burg , 1'a. , and durlnit the year was elected
president of the Indiana Asbury now Depaw
university , which position he held until his
electloli to the Kpiscoimcy in 1873. Ills 1 > . 1) .
came Irom the Ohio Wi'sloyan , and that of L.
L. J ) . from his alma muter after his election
as bishop. In 18K-5 ho was elected chaplain
in the United States senate , and by the Ken-
era ! conference of 18H ( was appointed dele
gate to the British Wcsleyan conference. Ho
was a member of the srencral conferences of
1M > 8 and 1872. From 18. ' . ) until IKK ! ho was a
member of the Baltimore conference ; from
18oTi-.VJ of the Kiist Baltimore ; from 18.VJ-04 of
the Southeast Indiana ana from ISW-rJ of
.Northeast Indiana.
Since his election to the Episcopacy he has
been actively engaged In the duties ot his
ofllce. In the prosecution of his work ho has
traveled over nearly every part of the United
States anil throuub many of ' our mission
Holds in Europe and the east.
On his return from his foreign tour a few
years ago ho was greatly prostrated and a
long and sevnre sickness ensued in which for
many weeks his physicians despaired of his
life. Happily ho was spared and though
feeble , his vigor and health have so far re-
' ; urneil that ho has prosecuted with accus-
; omcd elliciency his olllclal duties.
Bishop Bowman is our senior bishop and
.iol < Is an enviable place in the heart of the
church. Of simple tastes and habits , he is in
an important sense ono of the people. The
ninn is more conspicuous than the prelate.
As a teacher and preacher he is clear in ex
position and pru-emiiicntly full of the Holy
lihnst , and spiritual in life , less distinguished
by the prominence of any ono trait than
some , ho Is a whole rounded imm built on all
skies and well proportioned. Ho presided at
our conference in 1873 at the session held In
Wlntcrset , and will bo remembered by the
older brethren of the conference. But he will
lind great changes both in the personnel of
the body and the condition and Importance
of the work.
Ho will lind a cordial welcome awaiting
.lim , and may bo assured of the prayers ot all
the preachers that our conference session
may bo one of the most pleasant , harmonious
and spiritual of any in its history.

A Hat Matter.
Yesterday the BKE mentioned that the
lotorious Mrs. Ewing-Scott those are
wo of her names ; she has enjoyed bear-
ng the names of nine husbands at dill'er- .
ml limes was before the court again ,
his. lime asking that her daughter bo
sent to the reform school. The old
woman claims that the girl is bad and
s only fourteen years old. The girl claims
' .iit : she is sixteen , and wants to be
; oed , but that the old woman is hound-
ng her to perdition , and abusing her be
cause she objects to soiling herself.
iVhen the ofliccrs went to arrest Lillic
May Ewing she could not be found , but
t seems she sucoccdcd in mooting u
young man named Peterson , and took a
valk with him. She was away from
ionic all night , but yesterday morning
vas placed unuor arrest. She threatens
o kill herself if she is sent to the reform
school where she ca'nnot see her lover.
t would seem as if ft were best for the

Teaching Them To Talk.
The Institution for the Deaf and Dumb
was reopened last Wednesday after the
summer vacation. Superintendent G. L.
Wyckoff has retained all the old corps of
eachcrs with the exception of Miss Mary
Jallup , who , during the vacation , has
become Mrs. Flagley. Prof. Goodwin ,
who has had experience in this work in
Sorth Carolina , has been secured , so that
: ho number of instructors is not dimin
ished.
The institution opens with a larger at
tendance than over before m its history ,
"ho number of pupils present being 240 ,
including the twenty-live who wore ab
sent during the past year. This number
will soon be increased to 280. So far the
work has all been preliminary , but regu
lar lessons will bo required to-morrow.
The building has never been more com
fortable and pleasant than at present.
During the summer the main part has
been papered and painted , including all
the dormitories , the sitting room and
study rooms. There are twenty new
scholars in attendance , which necessi
tates the formation of two classes of be
ginners. Those who would like to see
how a child who can neither hear , talk or
read is taught are invited to visit the in
stitution.

Tnlk on Taxes.
The total tax levy for the city of Coun
cil Blull's this year is 51 mills on the doi-
lar. Now don't injure your personal ap-
jiearanco in the endeavor to make an in-
lei rogation point , and an exclamation
mark of your face. Last year the levy
was over CO mills and you lived through
it. The 51 mills is divided as follows :
Mills.
State tax VA
County tux 1BK
City tax S7
School tax 0
The school levy for this city is very
light as compared with that of the other
school districts of the county. There
arc only five districls in the county that
do not pay a higher per cent , while some
pav as high as11) ) mills.
The county tax is a little higher than
lait year , but that is occasioned by the
fact'that it was necessary to make pro
vision for paying the interest on the court
house and jail bonds. Appearances indi
cate that next year tins levy will have to
bo increased , as the cost in the saloon
cases will have to bo paid by the county ,
and in some portions of the county these
are not inconsiderable ,

LOVE AND CHIROMANCY.
Types ol Hand Givlnjj Points to Those
About to Mnrry.
London Standard : As a rule though
there are many exceptions , a man with a
long nail joint to his thumb , but short
nails , should marry a woman with n
short thumb and long nails. I don't '
me n "talons , " but the pink part of the
nails should be long cnoutrh to promise
graces lost in the man's analytical na
ture ; these very short nails declare the
diver into hidden recesses ; certainly ho
often 'discovers diamonds , but their
roughness is usually appalling , and a
wife who will see to their polishing .is the
one thing needful. Long nails look too
much on the outside of things , and judge
people by looks , manner and dress ; so
this combination should insure "lo juste
milieu. " A girl whoso long-pointed
lingers and nails , and long , though
slanting , line of head , sliow such
mental power , coupled with strong im-
airinalion , and a great tendency to judge
by outward signs , must be carefully
wooed. The man to succeed will bo short-
fingered and the first joint of his thumb
will bo at least as long as the second.
Ho w\ll \ never quite lot her know how
much ho cares for her. nor will ho over
altogether lift the veil which shrouds
him. To her his charm will bo that tbcro
is always something behind something
more to know some day. Those long-
pointed lingers , with the line of head
described above , love exploitation , 'jut
the mine once opened and fully explored
has no moro interest for them.
Thu signs of chiromancy vary so much ,
according to the typo of the hand , that it
is dllllcult to cull hard-and-fast maxims.
I can , however , give at least ono , which
s a tiling of beautv and a joy forever in
any hand. When the line of heart forms
a fork , of which both brandies are ex
actly equal , on the mount of Jupiter ,
which rises at the base of the first , linger ,
it declares an absolute trueness of heart.
In such a person you may fully contido ,
for to him or her deceit is impossible. Tins
fork also tolls of ono love only , for oven
when the ; person inspiring it has proved
wholly unworthy no other Jove will ever
replace it. Other afloat Ions may attempt
to do so , but none will ever hold the
place consecrated to the first and last
real loyo The person inspiring such
love is often indicated by a cross between
the lines of heart and head , the invaria
ble sign of influence of opposite sex.
Those crosses , however , sometimes show
irksome influences ; old loves which re
fuse to be shelved , and threadbare friend
ships , straining at the cords of old affec
tion in well-meant , fatal oll'orts to ad
vise. Once , when tolling the hand of a
foreigner , 1 found ono of these crosses
cutting the lines of heart , head and fate ,
and indicating continued woiry and hin
drance arising from a woman's influence.
I said : ' 'Your lifo is crossed ami marred
by some woman. Whatever you
take up she objects to. No mat
ter in what career you ficel ;
success she crosses your path and bars
your way. " To my dismay , thu fit-ry
foreigner sprung to hi * feet , and , brinir-
ing his clenched fist down on the table
with a force all but disastrous to the
china , ho exclaimed : "Ah ! I do not know
her ; she is von fiend. I do wish she
would dio. " When these crosses rest on
the head-lino only the influences they in
dicate arise from fascination alone , and
fho heart is untouched , 1 know a lady
whom palmistry saved from ; i miserable
marriage by warning her how speedily
the glamour surrounding an influence of
thisTclnd would wear oil' . In consequence
of this warning she took six month * to
think over matters , and long before their
termination the glamour had vanished
and the engagement was.brkcn on.
When the line of heart is broken into
mai\v \ smnll pieces it argues little luck in
love and tells of inconstancy in frumd-

ship. A man who with this line com
bined a long line of head , reaching right
across the hand , would bo a dangerous
rival , but with little regard to what im
piements ho employed to cut one and ono
who interfcrred with him. The fra"-
mcntary line of the tells of the wish to
do it , while the lengthy line of the head
( Islorally far reaching ) shows thepower. .
This long head line is always a danger
ous possession , indicating capabilities for
swindling. With a good long line of
heart , principle will strangle specula
tion , but when you lind this in the hand
of a friend whose line of heart is defect
ive , cross quickly to the other side of the
way , especially if you having any thinj : of
value about you. In hands blessed with all
virtues , this line merely denotes that do-
ful talent for getting one's money worth
out of everything which those who do
not possess it ceaselessly envy and ad
mire. Doubtless it is a most desirable
knack , but if every ono had it no ono
would overpay , so how would any ono
would ever overpay , so how would any
one profit ? It is just as well , therefore ,
that no two people possess hands exactly
similar , and that a large heart so often
overrules a long head. Redness of the
lines shows passion ; but unless as red as
to indicate violence they are , 1 think ,
preferable to the wide white lines declar
ing egotism. The latter stamp " ( Jrand-
courts" of life. Had Gwendolen Ilarleth
studied palmistry no false hopes of "man
aging better than mamma" would have
lured her into matrimony. Beware , yo
fiances , of heart lines chained , crossed
and harrasscd by many little lines ; they
toll of licklcncss.
Alexander ll.'n Costly Yacht.
London Telegraph. The late imperial
yacht Livadia , upon the magnificent
equipment and gorgeous embellishment
of which Alexander 11. lavished so many
millions of roubles , appears at last des
tined to be put to some practical nso.
The Livadia arrived hero a few days ago
from NicolaielV. She has already been
denuded of her former sumptuous ap
pointments and decorations , bulls now
to undergo a further and radical "clean
ing out,1" and will then be made available
us u troop ship. Though not olbcially
stated , I have the best authority for say
ing that her chief mission will be the
transport of troops from this city to
Batoum. If her preliminary trips hap
pen to bo made in some of the heavy and
choppy seas not unfrcquontly met with
in these waters , the Livadia's doubtful
sea-going capacity will be somewhat se
verely tested , ami her behavior will be
watched with pome interest by those
naval experts and designers who ap
proved or condemned her structural
lines before she left the slips of Eider
and Pearcc. The story of the damage she
was supposed to have sustained from
drift wreckage in the Bay of Biscay was
of course subsequently exploded. At all
events with moderately fair weather the
Livadia will , after being cleaned out and
rclitted , , bo capable of carrying in a
single voyage an enormous number of
troops in case of need , and it is with this
view , I believe , she is being put into
commission without delay.
