METHODISTS KEEPING BUSY
New Method of Selecting Preidin
Elderi Presented to Conference.
REV. MR. WICKER SHAM LOCATED
Woman's Home Missionary Society
Takes l p the Time of Afternoon
Davis Hearing Is Com
menced.
At the business session yesterday morn
ing of the Des Moines conference of the
Methodist church Rev. O. W. Fife of Des
Moines presented a memorial which he
asked be adopted and sent to the general
conference. The memorial provides for a
change In the method of the appointment
of the presiding elders. Unlike the proposi
tion to be voted on at this meeting. Rev.
Mr. Fife's plan leaves the appointment In
the hands of the presiding bishop after
nominations have been made by the confer
ence. The other plan to be voted on at this
conference gives the clerical members of
the conference the right to elect the presid
ing elders. The memorial presented by
Rev. Mr. Fife Is as follows:
The Des Moines annual conference re
spectfully memorializes the ensuing gen
eral conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church to request the presiding bishops In
the various annual conferences, before they
make appointments of presiding ciders, to
receive the nominations of the conferences
for such appointments, the nominations to
be made by ballot, without debate, and the
ballots to be placed Immediately in tho
hands of the presiding bishop.
It will be acted upon with the other con
stitutional amendments at the morning ses
sion today, unless other" business prevents.
Wlckersham In Located.
Rev. L. B. Wlckersham, formerly pastor
of the Methodist church at Boone, was
granted a certificate of location by the
conference. This means that Rev. Mr.
Wlckersham, who gave up active church
work for the lecture platform, must' lay
side all ministerial privileges until he
shows evidence that he Is ready to take up
active ministerial work. A few years ago,
when he desired to enter the lecture field
but retain his connection with the ministry,
he was placed on the superannuated list.
This met with objections, as the super
annuated list Is supposed to consist only
of preachers too' much disabled by age or
ill health to continue in active service of
the church. Mr. Wlckersham accordingly
was notified that he would either have to
resume preaching or take a certificate of
location, and he chose the latter.
Rev. Dr. Edmund Mills of Cincinnati,
secretary of the Educational society, gave
a short talk on the educational work of
tho Methodist church. He urged stronger
support for the colleges maintained by the
Methodist church. Incidentally he took
somewhat of a rap at the state supported
colleges, saying: "I knew of twenty young
men who expected to enter tlw Methodist
ministry and who went to a leading state
university. When they had completed
their courses, only five of tho twenty had
any Inclination to., become Methodist
preachers. ' If we want our religion to
grow and prosper, we must support our
own educational Institutions." '
A considerable putt of the morning ses
sion was taken up 'by the reading of the
reports of the several presiding ciders,
showing the condition of the church and
auxiliary organisations In' thetr respective
districts.
Women Have the Floor.
The afternoon session for two hours was
devoted to tho Woman's Home Missionary
society, with Mrs. A. B. Storms, wife of j
the president of the Iowa State Agricul
tural college, presiding. The society wnf
organized as an auxiliary to the church
la the Des Moines conference In 1SS4. ai d
for several years had a precarious exist
ence, but today Is strong and healthy wltn
seventy auxiliaries, and a total member
ship of 1,926. The Wom.m's Homo Mis
sionary society of this conference raised
$3,566 this year for missions. It donated
$1,500 for building an addition to tho dea
coness home at Des Moines and has sup
ported workers In Porto Rico, Hawaii and j
Alaska.
The meeting was addressed by Dr. Wil
liam A. Frye of Trenton, N. J., who took
as his subject "The Sign of 'the Cross at
the Gates of Empire."
The trial of Rev. A. D. Davis of Lacona
was begun yesterday afternoon, the com
mission sitting In one of the rooms of the
public library building. "The Select Num
ber." as the commission Is known In the
conference, was selected yesterday morn-
lng and Is con posed as follows: President,
Emory Miller; R. W. Matheny, L. H. Blll

Claims for Dead Sheep.
The ftrsf claim under the recently en
acted "domestic animal law" were pre
sented to the Board of Supervisors yester
day. D. 8 Pleak filed a claim for the i
killing of three lambs by a wolf on April
U. Tha claim, however, was not filed
until May 17, whereas tha law requires
all such claims to be filed within ten days.
The board decided It had no alternative but
to disallow the claim.
Jackson Lewis of Washington ' township
filed a claim for one aheep, but was unable
to make affidavit as to whether tha animal
had been killed by a wolf or a dog. He
also omitted to state that tha animal was
litE" OMAHA
not killed by his own dog. The claim
was referred to the county attorney.
The new law provides that claims be
made for animals killed by either stray
dogs or wolves, and on a proper showing
be paid by tho county out of the "domestic
animal" fund.

house fund. This levy to provide $C0.on0

the rules. In fact, this has bepn one thing
that has mada the rulo a decidedly hard
one to enforce. There are members of
the faculty who make a regular practice
of smoking upon the campus or In their
offices and believe that the president
should not attempt to restrict the prac
tice. An effort Is helng made to get all
members of the faculty to co-operate In
the advancement of these moral Influences
and It Is believed that If they will do so
In this Instance the students will refrain

Meets Death In a Well.
AMES, la., Sept. 13. (Special.) James
Dawson met his death at Ames yesterday,
being overcome by gas In a well In which
he was working. Mr. Dawson was em
ployed by E. O. Edwlnson, a local well
driller. They were engaged at the tlmo
In drilling a well for J. C. Prall. When
Dawson was let down this morning to ad-
Just the machinery he at once gave the
signal to be hauled up. Mr. Edwlnson, who
was at the top, Immediately responded and
began drawing him out of the well. When
he was practically up his grip gave way
on the rope and he fell back. Finally a
rope was looped about Dawson's arm after
he had been raised a few feet by means
of the drill rod twisted Into his Jacket, and
he was drawn out of the well. He was
pronounced dead by medical attendants as
soon as he reached the top. Tuesday even
ing a charge of dynamite vu exploded
In the well. The general supposition Is
that the gas caused by this explosion ac
cumulated and remained there during the
night, poisoning Dawson when he was
lowered.
