Holland , a railroad man , indulged In a rather spirited discus sion on the merits of the strike an the Bur lington live or six years ago In Julius Ottens * ealoon , and when nothing but the smell of fresh , warm blood was deemed likely to convince cither ot the correctness of the po sition , they adjourned to the cedar block pavement In front of the saloon to settle the matter In a trial by combat.

There was nn abundant flow of blooil and Holland was at once conveyed to his homo at 135 South Tenth street , where a doctor attended him.

" This morning the commissioner Instructed the Janitor to deco rate the front and north Bides of the court liouso with flags kept for that purpose , and In pursuance therewith the Janitor stuck a number ot Mags from the various windows in the sheriff's office. After ho had gone Deputy Sheriff Hoxlo took the flags down. The fact was reported to Chairman West- cot t of the Board of Commissioners , and he and Harry Abbott went up to the sheriff's office. Mr. "Wcstcott Inquired with consider able warmth what Hoxlo meant by pulling down the American flag , and Hoxle replied that that was a populist office , controlled by populists , and they didn't propose to decorate In honor of a republican. The discussion waxed rather Viarm , but Mr. Westcott finally remarked that the commissioners had charge ot that building , and whllo the sheriff could do what ho pleased with the Interior , the commissioners had jurisdiction over the out side and those flags should go up again. And they went up. Mr. Hoxlo states that his cholcr was caused by the fact that his per mission was not asked to use their windows.

The ball was from a 38-callbcr revolver , as near ns could bo ascertained In Its battered condition.

IN SESSION AT DR , TINDALt'S ' CHURCH GratltrlnE KeporU from the Dlitrlcti In the > ) nrl * < llellou MUslunnr * Sermon Vei- terelay Aftrrnoon lUt of DclcffaUa Program for I'olltmlng D y . The twelfth annual seslon of the North No- brnski conference of the Methodist Episcopal church , comprising that portion of the state north of the I'latte and cast of Wood river , convened at the Scward Street Methodist church yesterday , -v-lth seventy-nine of the clergymen responding to roll call. The house of worship , which Is presided over by Rev. D. K. Tlndall , never looked prettier , or more inviting , than It did when the clergy , the laymen and their ladles marched up the aisles , where for a short time they participated In a conference prayer meeting. Around and about the pulpit the ladles of the congregation had distributed ferns , and potted plants , while from the chandeliers hung pretty wreaths of nmllax , with vases filled with cut doviera nnd roses standing be side the blblo which rested upon the altar. After the close of the devotional exercises the venerable nnd respected divine , Ulshop An- crclsca for the day. Bishop Andrews Is well known In Omaha and Is loved and respected by all who know him , and there are many here , for upon several occasions he has filled the pulpits of the Methodist churches that nestle upon the hillsides and In the vales of not only the city , but the whole state. In appearance ho Is the same as when here a year or more ago. Time has handled htm gently and he dcea not appear a day older than when last he was In Omaha. The same smile for all lights his face and the same bright tvInkle Is In his eye , though , 1C possible , his hair nnd beard are n trlllo whiter. In a short speech he stated the object ot the gathering , saying that God had prospered the Methodist church during the conference year , which was closing , and the prospect for the future was exceedingly bright. Hev. Dr. Spencer addressed the confer ence upon the subject "Church Extension , " saying that during the past year Methodism had inado some remarkable strides and had Invaded many of the heathen lands where before the word , of Christ had never been preached. The teachings and the doctrines of the church had been scattered broadcast , both at home and abroad , but notwithstand ing th rapid strides tnada by the church. In the United States there were 5,000 Sunday schools without shelter and any number of churches without pastors. One thing , how ever , which pleased him was the fact that .during his twenty-six years In the ministry ho did not know of a Methodist church that had been sold under the sheriff's hammer that had not been .redeemed. . The coming year , however , ho thought might possibly be different , as twenty houses of Methodist worship had been sold nt auction , while 200 more \\ere on the way to the hands of the sheriff.

REPORTS FROM WORKERS. Chancellor Crook of the Wesleyan univer sity at Lincoln , reported 325 students in attendance , with only one In seven on free tutlon. Sixty of the students , he said , boarded themselves. Two new literary so cieties had been organized during the present term of ] school , making stx In all. He urged In the election of the two trustees , only tlia best men , men who would be trust worthy , men who were from the business world. Last year an application for a loan was rejected , the reasons being that there were too many of the cloth upon the board. Edll--.Young : of the Central Christian Advo.e , urged the reading ol Christian papers and journals , saying that reading the matter contained In them cultivated the mind In an atmosphere healthy to the soul. The dally papers ot the country did not attack the saloons and vice aa did | religious papers , not because they did not dare , but because It was not good policy. Christian journals brought before the old and young the truths and facts that could not be obtained from any other source. All of the charges would do as well as last y.ear , with many ot them doing more , some of them having given even more than their share. The spiritual condition ot the district was good , etcry charge having enjoyed a spirit of divine grace , moro than 1,000 souls having been given to Christ. REPORTS OF PRESIDING ELDERS. J. B. Maxfleld , presiding elder of ths Omaha district , went Into statistics , and said that In the conference districts there were 372,331 persons , of which 07,031 were In Omaha division , with 60,396 In the- Norfolk , 50,071 In the Grand Island and 17,853 In the Nellgh district. J. E. Moore , presiding elder of the Grand Island district , reported elllclent preachers. Preachers and people commenced the year with high hopes , but failure of crops had defeated some of the plans , as there was but little money to be found. This financial stringency , however , had not resulted In the abandonment of any of the churches. Twelve hundred conversions were reported during th year. David Marquette. presiding elder at the Nellgh district , read his report for the year , showing that much new Ufa had been thrown Into the church. There bail been numerous revivals throughout he district , and la nearly all Instances the congregations asked the re turn ot their pastors. The churches of the district closed the year In good sbarm and fully equipped to flght rum , Romanism and the devil. During the year there had been built three churches at & cost of 18,800 , and three parsonages at , a cost ot $ , 00. The total conversions aggregated 7SO souls. Mr. Marquette said that he had labored In the ministry for a Quarter ot a century in N - braska and never before had be seen the financial outlook 10 feertoijs In the vr tern portion ot tha cut * aa'ntrtt. ' A. HodKctli , pMltdlQcelder ) ol tha Norfolk district , comprlslfitj I thirteen counties , re ported that new twfltory h.nd been entered during the- past Tbar'wUh good results. Most of the territory occuplc4 was well supplied wltb churchei and parsonages. New and large church buildings , however , were needed In manr of the towns. Considering the circumstance * ministerial support had been good , with nearly all of the clergy paid In full. " Just before the hour of the noon adjourn ment it was voted that the missionary acnnon by Rev. William Qorat should bo delivered In the afternoon Instead ot In the I evening , ANNUAL MISSIONARY SERMON. The statistical session of the conference convened promptly at 2:30 : o'clock , Rev. J. W. Shank of Oniahn presiding. Reports from the churches In the four districts were pre sented and referred to the appropriate com mittees. Routine business having been disposed of , the preaching of the missionary sermon by Rev. William Oorst of Norfolk , was made the special order ot the afternoon. Ho pic tured the old homo with the aged mother silting by tha fireside , from which the father had departed for the great unknown land many years before. The children were there , to go out from that homo and engag ? In the struggle for life. This day might not com memorate the birth ot Christ , but His word was present with Hla children. Christ did not say that there was not a place for the Pharisee , but Instead , Ho said that there should be one fold and one shephard , lifting tha veil and opening the door , revealing the tact that all might be saved. It was hard for the men in Palestine to believe that any one could be saved except the Jews ; it nas hard for them to believe that others were to enter the kingdom of heaven. Many men preached the gospel , but there were- not so many who followed the right track. Peter , In preaching hla sermon , said that there were other men besldo Jews , nnd he went on preaching , the people listening , to hear the word ot God , as he urged that Jews and Gen tiles could become Christianized and enter the kingdom ot heaven. "I should have supposed that after that the people would have- said that this gospel was tor everybody. If you follow on you will see Peter on the housetops preaching , and the Lord speaks to hlii again and again , telling him to preach to all. Ho went , but went timidly , and preached the everlasting gospel , and the fire came down upon the Gentiles , and he was anointed with the Holy Ghost. That was not all. The Je ii went down to where Paul was preach ing to the Gentiles and told him that that was not right. With Barnabas he went back to Jerusalem and Into the council , where lie- told them that the gospel V > BJ for all. This was the result ot the missionary enlerpiUes. which have been carried on to this day. though the great land of the Nazerenes la In the hand of the enemy today , beneath the heel of Mohammed. No matter whcro the man Is , no matter what his color may be , the power of God is with the person who goes Into the missionary field to spread the gospel ot Jesus Christ. "Men say that the gospel has about run Its course ; some men want to cut the missionary fund 111 two , but It should not be , for the church must become cosmopolitan , with the voice ot the blessed son of God urging on and on until there Is not a place on earth where the gospel Is pot preached. " There was no session of , the conference last night. At the afternoon session an Invita tion was extended tb attend the McKlnley meeting. This was accepted , and at t > :30 : the members met at the church , and from there In a body they marphcO to the Coliseum , where reserved scats had been selected by the members of the republican central com mittee.

OHIO DEMOCRATS SEE ISSUES CHANGING State Eieoutlie Committee of tha Vartf In thut State llcclnres Hint the Appre- clutlou of the Dollar li the Source of Kvll. COLUMDUS , 0. . Oct. 4. The democratic state executive committee today , of which A. W. Thunnan Is president and W. A. Taylor oecretary , Issued an address to the voters of Ohio to the eftcct that tariff reform lias won and that the money question. Is novr the supreme Ibsuo before the country , The address contains about 3,400 words and Is understood to have been prepared by Mr. Thurman , It says among other things : First. That money Is the standard by which tha exchangeable value of all labor nnd the products of the same are determined. Second , That no money standard has over been nor can ever be flxed at an unvarying Measure , Third , Business men must remember that money may be appreciated In value as well as depreciated. Fourth. That when It appreciates prices fall ; when U depreciates prices rise. Fifth , That the value of money Itself U fixed by Its exchangeable or purchasing poncr over other commodities and this pur chasing power of money Is determined wholly and solely by the proportion that the quantity of money In circulation bears to other commodities. Sixth , Now , what Is the demand for money ? It Is the demand of all things upon this one thine. Seventh. Now , what Is the supply ? The supply Is the creation solely of the govern ment , as nothing Is money until the stamp of the government Is placed upon It , Prior to the demonetization of silver in 1873 gold and silver was the standard money. Since then It has been gold. The supply was cut In two. Could any result other than the continuous fall In prices we have experienced for twenty years follow the adoption ot this policy ? In silver countries prices have remained stable. In gold countries prices have fallen from 40 to 60 per cent. Silver Is the standard of valito ot more than halt of the world. The general decline In prices has been brought about by the shrinkage In the volume ol money relative to population and business. If the value of money In circula tion be made to bear a direct and steady ratio to population nnd business prices will be maintained at a steady level , and , what Is of supreme Importance , money will change but little In value. Eighth , Cvery money commission which lias been appointed by different governments have said that beyond any doubt during the last twenty years gold has continually and steadily appreciated In value ; and that this appreciation has been the real cause of the tremendous full In prices which have taken place In all values , and the great financial disturbances we ha\ & seen In all gold-using countries. Ninth , Affirms eighth as true. Tenth , That there has been no overproduc tion o silver , because , for WO years prior to 1S7S , the relative production of gold and silver was not quite 15 of silver" to 1 of gold , and for the twenty years blnce 1873 It lias not exceed 1C to 1. Eleventh , That the free coinage of silver dees not mean any sudden Inflation and sudden disturbance of values , Twelfth , That this gold standard was 1m posed and continues to bo Imposed upon the people of the United States by England , In speaking ot this Senator Cameron of Penn sylvania said * ' 'Yet the bankers of London have said ( hat we must submit and we have submitted. " Thirteenth , Thai there never lias In the world been such a thing aa Interest on alf money and In all probability never will be , Fourteenth , That there U not a slngls obligation of the United states govern nient other than gold certificates that Is not by explicit terms o the contract payable In either cold or silver and iv demand of the servants of the people ttoti ol ft famotn French physician , vrXl qtl !

" CLEAN HOUSE WITH" e APOLIO that they administer the laws according to the terms of that contract. Who can say this Is not right ? Fifteenth , That gold alone does not afford a Btifllclent basis upon which our paper cur rency can safely rest. Sixteenth , The advocates ot the single gold standard claim that only gold can make an honest dollar. According to them , then , as we have shown thut gold has continually appreciated In value for twenty years , a dollar Is only honest when It Is Increasing In purchasing power. Seventeenth , Again , the gold advocates say that ono dollar must b ? as good an an other , but they do not dcflne what "good ness" means , Is not a Just dollar o good dollar ? Is not a dollar ot unchanging value a Kood dollar ? Has the gold dollar been unchanging value ? In 1873 , before silver was demonetized , the game gold dollar was worth 3 per cent less than the sliver dollar ; that same stiver dollar will purchase just as much of every other commodity now aa It would prior to 1873. Eighteenth , Free coinage Is not an experi ment , but so far as the single gold standard has gone It has been a moat disastrous one. Nineteenth , With the dollar appreciating In value as It Is now doing , thereby causing a decrease In the prlco of all products , tax payers are compelled to give more labor or the products of more labor to obtain these dollars , the only thing wltn which they can discharge all state , county and municipal taxes , all of which are fixed charges. There- fora , to decrease the price of products Is to Increase taxes. Twentieth , Continued falling markets must annihilate profits , without which all Industries must bo paralyzed ; causes money to accumulate In money centers , where It Is especially used by those who gamble in securities , Instead of being used In productive enterprises. "The gold supply ot the world has been substantially cornered" tee Uaron Uothschlld's speech at late monetary con ( ounce at Drusscls. Twenty-first If business men could only ba assured that prices had once touched bottom , and that even as low as they are now they would remain steady and stable In the future , then it might be possible for them to transact their business on a stable footing. It the policy does not stop \ve do not for one moment hesitate to absolutely afllrm that no matter whether we have high tariff , low tarln" or no tariff there can be no permanent revival In business affairs. Stocks of all binds are now so tow that wo may expect some commercial Improvement , but that it can last for any length o ! time. If the present monetary conditions are maintained , Is an absolute Impossibility. The Greatest liners In tha W < J4t.
