j DELEGATES TO CONFERENCE
Methodiiti Select Men to Attend ths
General Meeting of the Church.
NO ACTION ON FRATERNALS
Appeal for Aid by Simpson Colleen
Resalts la Hailing- of Eight Thoa
sand Dollars -Next Year's
esalon at C'larlnda.
The Methodist conferr-noe at the morn
ing business session yesterday completed
the election of the six delegates to the
genernl conference at Baltimore next May
and selected Clarlnda as the place for
holding next year's conference. These are
the six delegates:
Rev. B. 8. Miller, presiding elder. Charl
ton district; Rev. Fletcher Brown, In
dlanola; Rev. E. I Holmes, presiding
elder Des Moines district: Rev. A. H. Col
lins, Boone; Rev. E. A. McDale, Red Oak;
Rev. C. L. Nye, Des Moines. Rev. W. G.
Hohannhelt. presiding elder of the Creston
district, and Rev. A. E. Griffith, presiding
elder of the Council Bluffs district, were
elected "reserve" delegates.
No Action on Fraternltlra.
The effort to have the conference take
a stand against the fraternities at Simp
son college failed. The committee to
which the petitions had been referred
failed to recommend action and conse
quently the conference decided to let the
matter alone. President Charles Shelton
of Simpson college was iiresent at the
morning session and was called upon for
an address. He spoke of the success
with which . the Institution was meeting,
saying In part:
Simpson college has never boen more
prosperous than In the last year. We
nave registered K9 students during the
year and Intend to have more this year.
The faculty Is making- every effort to enter
actively Into the student life and we think
that much has been done In this direc
tion. The work of the faculty Is a com
paratively small part In the growth and
development of the students. There must
be a co-operation between teacher and
pupil, and especially Is this necessary In
a college of adults.
In accordance with this Idea there has
been organised at Simpson a student coun
cil, consisting of the president of the
school as ex-offlclo member, one member
of the faculty, one member of the other
Instructora. and members selected by the
student body from the various classes.
There are many phases of school govern
ment that are Impossible for the faculty
to handle. The student council Is meet
ing the need of the hour and Is rning a
long way toward making the school a
success. We feel that we are tn line for
a greater success than we have heretofore
achieved.
Vice President Fletcher Homan of the
college, made another appeal for funds
and the 24.000 subscribed at the college
rally the previous night was Increased to
2S,10ft.
Perry and Clarlnda were both In the
field for next year's conference and when
the vote gave the meeting to Clarlnda an
Invitation to hold the 1909 conference was
extended by Perry.
A resolution petitioning the general con
ference to retain the looatlon of the Gen
eral Board of Education In New York was
adopted by a nnanlmoua vote. The board,

but recently . there haa been soma effort
to transfer It to Cincinnati.

sions. He spoke particularly of the effort
being made to raise 2500,000 for the missionary-work
in China.
, The evening meeting was devoted to the
Foreign Missionary society, addresses being
made by Rev. Dr. H. K. Carroll of New
York and Rev. Dr. Trimble of Kansas City.

Llqnor Tax Cases Paid.
ATLANTIC, la.. Sept. IB. (Special.)
The mulct tax liquor cases that have been
hanging fire since 1906 and which threat
ened to go Into the supreme court, have
been settled by a resolution of the Board of
Supervisors paying the costs and allowing
each of the ten saloon keepers a rebate of
lli)0. Early in January, 1908, the court
forced the saloons out of Atlantic Just aft?r
they had paid their" mulct tax for the
first quarter. They demanded a rebate for
the unused portion of the quarter, but the
board refused the refund and the case
went to court, resulting In a Judgment
for each of the saloon men of 2119. The
county attorney filed notice- of appeal to
the supreme court, but In the meantime a
aimcuity Detween the board and eounty
attorney developed and they refused to
allow him naUlinf In nnndrin th. n 1
peal. The compromise this week resulted.
At the same session just closed the board
took action upon the George Fennell claim
of 115 for Sunday work, voting to pay the
same provided he flnlsh'ed the work and
had no more Sunday work. Pennell was
the expert accountant who was appointed
by the court to make an Investigation of
the books of the board at a salary of V
per day. He worked twenty-one days. In
cluding three Sundays and put tn his bill
for $115. The board cut It down to 2100,
refusing to pay for the three Sundays'
work. Pennell at once threw up the Job,
and the Investigation Is still unfinished.
He says he Is too busy to again take It up.
The board also refused to allow a claim
of 2175 for Attorney J. B. Rockefellow for
assisting the county attorney In his prose
cution of Henry Holten, the member of
the board who was expelled for misappro
priation of funds. Mr. Rockefellow was
hired by the county attorney, but the
board says it was without warrant, and
Mr. Goodspeed will probably have to pay
the claim himself. Steps were also taken
to cut down the bounty on gophers' claws
from 10 cents to 6 cents and probably i
cents per pair, In an effort to make the
law Inoperative In Cass county. There have
been 419 pairs of claws already presented,
and others will probably be paid for at
the rate of 10 cents per pair.
Natnral Gaa "ear Atlaatle.
ATLANTIC, la.. Sept. 16. (Special. )
A flowing well emitting water and natural
gas has been discovered on the farm of
Mrs. M. E. Foster In Grant township.
Early In May workmen commenced boring
a well. They went down 126 feet, the last
fourteen of which was through solid rock.
Below this rock was a basin filled with
water and gas. The water burst up through
and around the sides of the eight-Inch Iron
tubing that had been placed In the hole,
and continued to flow for several days,
getting beyond all control. Accompanying
the discharge was a dull roaring sound
and a shaking and. trembling of the earth
resembling an earthquake. Ever sine Us
discovery this trembling of the earth has
continued and the well still continues to
emit volumes of gas that has been tested
and found to be suitable for commercial
uses. At times 'there is a MM cloud of
heavy black amoke pouring from the open
ing and frequently the water and gas get
beyond control and flood the surrounding
country for a great distance. Mrs. Foster
Is endeavoring to devise means of har
vesting this flow of natural gas and con
verting It Into' power to run the farm
maclnery, as the flow hss continued now
for nearly Ave months and seems to be
Inexhaustible.

ceived additions last week in the number
of thirty-six recruits and four artillery
recruits from Fort B locum, N. Y. In view
of the fact that the organisations are

up nouueauie.. uurmg tne month of July

The attack on the Infantry redoubt which
commenced on Friday morning was com
pleted, save the last day, yeaterday after
noon, when the entire artillery regiment
and four siege guns from Fort Leaven
worth, opened UD on the rednnht with h
Jdea of demolishing It as far as possible.
The firing on the first four days, was any
thing but SDectacular. but four on n lain
of the fleld artillery and two of 'siege
iiiiii-ij iM-uig enpioyea. un tnose days,
but seventy-five rounds were flred .-h
day. This was to the end that accurate
data might be obtained for the future use
of the ordinance and the engineer depart
ments In whose Interests the test Is being
held. After each shot, a signal corn. d.
tachment located within safe distance from
the redoubt telephoned to the observing
station and to the guns, where the shot
fell. After each group of four shots, the
place of Impact was noted on a plan of
ne reoouht and accurate measurements
were taken. After each group of twelvo
shots, the redoubt waa repaired by the
company of engineers stationed near the
redoubt for that purpose. Photogranha
were also taken at different periods. The
real object of the test Is to ascertain tha
destructive power of the shells and the
resisting power of the redoubt. On each
day the practice has been uniformly good,
and about 75 per cent of the shells hsvo
fallen within the earthwork. Yesterday,
the flring wss very 'satisfactory as far as
the heavy guns were concerned. The big
shells from the siege guns tore up the re
doubt, but the projectiles from the three
inch fleld guns made very little Impression.
About forty officers from the school at
Fort Leavenworth were here to see the
Arlng on the last day. They were quartered
