E3 MOINES, la, Oct. 6. (Bpe-
clal.)-The combined public ser-
vice of three officials of this,
state makes
total or ninety-
seven years.
If Iowa has ever
in keeping good
been derelict
men In office it has not in these three cases.
Senator Allison bas served forty-three
years and will serve another before hit
term expires. Curator Aldrlch of the his
torical department has served a total of
about thirty-six years In one capacity or
ahother and Director John R. Sage of the
weather and crop service has served eight
een ' years continuously In that capacity.
And each may be continued to serve longer.
No man tn Iowa has built a more endear
ttig vf unuinent, nor left to posterity a
SeHTr work than has the Hon. Charles
AliljTch. Legislators voted for the hlstor-
leal building; governors signed bills; news-
papers acquiesced and praised, but .ne his-
torlcal department and the historical build-
Ing la th work, primarily, of Hon. Charles
Aldrlch from the Inception of the depart-
ment to the selection of the stone out of
which to erect th building.
Th Importance of the preservation of
history has been recognised in all ages
but usually it is to lecognize the importance
of Dreservlnsr hlstor v already aulte faded
from memory, not that which la transplr-
Ing at th time. Mr. Aldrlch came to Iowa
In 1SE7 at a time when the state was young
and had little history. Almost from the
31
time h entered the state he began to s now raplly assuming shape, and the mis

of Information to be had there from manu- has not only been of value In establishing
scripts, letters, books, newspaper files and
various other sources at once attests to tn
'Importance of the department.
Charles Aldrlch was born at Ellington,
Chautauqua county, New Tork, October 2.
1228. He attended the public schools and
for a time th Jamestown academy, and at
the ag of 18 began learning th printing
trade. In 1850, at th age of 22, be started
a paper at Randolph, and In 1867 Moved to
Iowa and located at Webster City, where
he started th Hamilton Freoman. In UriO
he was made chief clerk of the house of
th Iowa legislature and was re-elected to
th same position two years later.
In September, ISfiSf b entered the Union
army a adjutant and following the war
became editor of the Dubuque Times, and
In 18M purchased th Marshall Times at
Marsballtown. He served as clerk of the
house again In 1866. and in 1870 served as
government commissioner tn settling claims
of settlers to land embraced in th Pes
Motnea river grant; served on the geoglcal
' survey of th western territories In 1873,
and In 1S81 was elected a member of the
house of th nineteenth general assembly
to represent Hamilton county.
Stno his service In the legislature Mr.
Aldrlch' time has been devoted almost en
tirely . t developing a historical depart
ment of th state. He started many year
ago fa the early 80' z. The legislature could
not b Induced to do anything, so finally
Mr. Aldrlch got official permission of the
legislature to occupy a little corner of th
state library. He had, at considerable ex
pens to himself for many years been gath
ering books, manuscripts and varioua other
things of vslue In a historic way. These
he loaned to th stat aa the nucleus of a
beginning for a department of history. He
devote! many years of his time without
compensation to gathering newspaper flies
of Important newspapers published In the
early days and containing much valuable
lsjirmatlon. Finally he was successful in
Irjuclng the legislature to create a depart
ment of history as a part of the stste

REV. WILLIAM OORST, PRESIDING
Elder of the Omaha District.
Is numbered among the deceased members
of the second annual session.
Among those who answered to the first
roll call, who are now deceased, ministers
the last week counted the names of the fol
lowing members, who were assigned to
charges in 1R83: Rer. J. Fowler of Fre
mont, Rev. Z. S. Rhone of Schuyler, Rev.
E. O. Fowler of Fullerton, Rev. H. N. Gale
of Blair.
Rev. A. Hodgetts, who was sent to Fapll
llon in 1883, la now In Brooklyn, N. T.
Rev. J. W. Shank, for a number of years
pastor of the church at Springfield, is In
California, while Rev.' 8. A. Bear, sent to
Leigh twenty-two years ago. Is resting
this year and did not attend th twenty
sixth session.
Rev. R. B. Wilson, formerly of Arling
ton, and Rev. W. F. Grundy of Oakdale,
were transferred to the Missouri confer
ence and went there many years ago to
assume the labors of a new field.
Rev. W. M. Worley, assigned to Lyons
at the conference of 1883, Is now on the
superannuated list, being th only one of
the conference held here twenty-two years
ago who is numbered on .the lists of re
tired Methodist ministers. Rev. W. H.
Carter, who went up th Missouri river to
library. This made the beginning occlclaL
That was in 1891 and he was appointed
curator to serve without compensation, as
the members of the legislature thought any
outlay of money a useless expenditure.
From that time on Mr. Aldrlch devoted his
entire time to the department.
He was able to revive the publication of
the "Annals of Iowa," a quarterly publica
tion which Is devoted entirely to the work
of publishing articles on the early history
of Iowa. Since Mr. . Aldrlch revived the
publication he has been' able to publish,
and thus preserve for all time much valu
able Information pertaining to the history
of the state. - v
. Finally Mr. Aldrlch was able to Indue
the legislature to erect a. building. It be-
came evident that the miscellaneous collec-
tion of the state library, along with th
law section, was too much for the room In
the "state house, where ' the library Is
housed. It was evident that the law II-
brary would In time take all the space and
with this as a lever and the Importance,
too, of having a suitable place for the rap-
idly accumulating historical data Induced
the legislature to vote an appropriation for
building. One wing was erected and In
this the historical department was housed,
.During tho last two year the remainder of
the building has been erected and th In-
terlor finishing Is rapidly being completed.
This will house the archives department,
which is also the Idea of Mr. Aldrlch, and
the historical department, but his keen in
tellect and statesman ability has caused
him to bo of great value as a cltlsen to th
stat and every community In which h has
resided. H bas been ever interested In all
good government. In bis younger days he
wrote frequently for th scientific 1 maga
zines and farm papers In addition to his
work on the papers he edited. In later life
he has devoted his attention to writing for
th Annals.
At th age of 7 years Mr. Aldrlch'
mind is clear and his memory unfailing.
His powers of Intellect are a marvel to all
who know him. For many years he has
been In feeble health and the last legisla
ture, recognising th necessity of his work
and th vast worth of his ability to th
state, provided an assistant to take from
his shoulders the more arduous duties. Mr.
Aldrlch Is now spending th closing years
of h)B llfe , th work that h JovM as
loath to lay down the burdens as th state
la to lose his services.
Senator William Boyd Allison not only
exceeds In his public service anyone In
Iowa, but probably also anyone In the
United States. He was first elected to
congress In 1863 and has served con-

Rev. J. C. Colvin, the close friend and
neighbor of the pastor to Dakota, has
drifted away from his associates, and min
isters attending the conference In Omaha
the last week did not know where he went
when he was transferred to another con
ference. Rev. Mr. Colvin was the only one
of the thirty-three whose address was un
known to th ministers in Omaha.
Rev. D. C. Wlnshlp, sent to Wlsner by

Edwards when th Union Paciflo railroad
had Just completed its branch to that
point, was afterwards sent to the far west
as a missionary, and brother ministers
are not Informed of his address. Though
not forgotten, Rev. Joel A. Smith, sent by
the second annual conference to a mis
sionary charge In western Nebraska, is
numbered among the "missing," of whom '
the ministers now belonging to the confer
ence know but little after he went across
the bliszard-cursed waste to hold services
In school houses, cabins or wigwams.
Among the early ministers who have long
maintained an interest and membership In
the North Nebraska conference, are Rev.
William Gorst, now presiding elder of the
Omaha district, who wss accepted on trial
at the conference held In Blair in 18S4. H.
H. Millard was admitted on trial In 1885
and Rev. Jesse W. Jeanlngs joined the
conference in the same year. W. D. Mc
Gregor was sent to Decatur in 1887 and
Rev. William Eeplln was received on trial
at the same conference. Rev. G. H. Main
was received on trial In 1886 and Into full
connection two years later.
Several of the ministers who were ap
pointed to charges in Nebraska by the
second annual conference, have died far

sailed ofr Paterson he promised Ethel he
would return and take her away from
there. ,

"The second annual session of th Ne
braska conference was a memorable on
tn a good many ways," said Rev. C. F.
Heywood, now of Central City, who was
one of the charter members of th Ne
braska conference. "Nothing passed th
conference which had special bearing on
church rule, but those of us who are
here, will not forget It soon because of th
difficulty which wa had In getting to
Omaha. Th conference was held in th
First Methodist church, and Rev. Charles

Wedded Between Honks.
A speedy twentieth century automobile
murrlase, of the most up-to-date variety,
occurred between "honks," as Rev. H. J.
Crum married Chauncey R. Benefield and
Indianapolis.
Miss Lotta A. Williams In
The auto marriage wasn't a freak Idea. It
waa a necessity.
Mr. Benefited Is a wealthy ranchman of
Dallas. Tex. He had urgent business mat
ters to look after at Chicago, ard it wa
necessary for him to catch the train which
left at 3:13 o'clock. The train could not
wait, and neither could he nor the mar-
rlage. The only thing to do was to marry
a la auto.
Miss Williams was visiting relatives at
Terre Haute, and Mr. Benefield was at
Cincinnati. They had arranged to be mar-
rtea at leisure at Indianapolis. But Mr.
Benefield made a mistake In his calcula
tlons, and found he could not reach Indian
apolis until 3:40 o'clock. This left qjily
thirty-five minutes for the marriage. .

there was no telling whether w would se
cure anything to eat or not. Farmers were
not as hospitable In those days as they
are now and men hava made drives of 200
miles when they could not buy a meal at
a farm house. This was true with Mrs.
Heywood and myself on several occasions.
We passed through a Swedish settlement
one time, when we needed our rations.
Th Swedes were new to this country
and did not understand the ways Ameri
cans had of stopping any place along th
trail and applying for meals. The Swed
ish people are noted for making good cof
fee, In th country at least, and they wer
always glad to make us Coffee, but did
not like th Idea of cooking for strangers.
We had meals under such circumstances,
but enjoyed the Swedish coffee, together
with our own lunches." t
Many of the oharges along the Missouri
river were more easily . reached by steam

Decatur, Dakota and St. James. That soma

by a number of ministers.' Those who
have been here this week declared they

In 1862 h was elected to congress to rep

elected, serving till 1871. He was a candi-

the legislature met, but was unsuccessful,
When the legislature met two years later
he was elected over Senator Harlan. Th
only break In a continuous service was a
short time between his service as congress-
man and that as senator. His term aa con-
gressman expired March 4, 1871, and In the
January following he was elected United

Conn try Wedding; In France.
A marriage 1. always an imnortant af-
fair In France in every class of life. There
are long discussions with all the members
of the two families, writes Madame Wad-
dlngton In Scrlbner's. The cure the notary
the patron (If the young man Is a work-
man), are all consulted, mn th ,

most all French parents give a dot of some
kind to their children, and whatever the
aura is, either too fanes or J.000 It Is always
scrupulously raid over to the notary. Th
weuuinj-d-ay is a long one. After the
religious c.r-mcny In th church, all the
wedding party members of the two
families and a certain number of friends
adjouvn to tho hotel of the little town for
a breakfast, which Is long and most
abundant. Then comes the crowning glory
of the day a country walk along the dusty
highroad to some wood or meadow where
they can spend the whole afternoon. It
Is pretty to me the little procession trudg
ing' along the bride In all her wedding
garments, white dress, white shoes, wreath,
and veil; the groom In a dress coat, top
hat, white cravat and waistcoat, with a
white ribbon bow on his sleeve. Almost
all the girls and young women are dressed
In white or light colors; the mothers and
grandmother (the whole family turns out)
In black, with flowers In their bonnets.
Ther I usually a fiddler walking ahead
making most remarkable sounds on his old
cracked Instrument, and the younger
member of the party take an occasional
gallop along the road. They are generally
very gay; there Is much laughing, and,
from time to time, a burst of song. It Is
always a mystery to me how the bride
keeps her dress and petticoat so clean, but
she does, with that extraordinary knack
all Frenchwomen seem to have of hold
ing up their skirts. They passed often
under tbe wall of tbe chateau, for a

Joyed the i-cent fare on th railroads, to
gether with th thousand of others who
ride at th "reduced" and legal rate.
"We will not forget a laugh which nearly
broke up th first session of th second
conference," said one of the charter mem
bers of th Nebraska conference. "Rev.
W. G. Owenger of Tekamah had applied
for admission. Bishop Wiley always looked
a man over very carefully before ho ac
cepted" him. That was examination enough
for most ministers. When the bishop went
over them with his eyes the man's char
auter was very carefully analyzed.
" 'Stand up and let us sea you,' said
Bishop Wiley, looking about the room
for the now man. An embarrassed-looking
fallow In the front row looked at th I
bishop a moment. It was a serious mo
ment for him, and when th bishop again
called on him to stand up, h slowly un
folded his legs and stood up.
"Now the Rev. Mr. Owenger measured
Six feet and six Inches with his riding
boots off. When he towered above that
conference assembly In the First church
everyone wondered when he was going to
stop 'getting up.' The ministers all laughed
snd Ulrliop Wiley laughed as he looked
the man over carefully. It was with dim-
culty that order was restored, so much
mirth was provoked by tho height of th
new member."
Rev. Mr. Owenger Is now In Washing
ton, and left tho ministry a number of
years ago.
In terms of no uncertain meaning the
second session condemned the use of to- '
bacco by ministers, and requested any
member who had fallen Into the "filthy
habit" to desist at once. Another action
of the conference was to Instruct delegates
Maxwell aid Van Doozer, to the genual
conference, to oppose the removal of
the time limit for pastorates. Before ad
journment th conference gave a hearty
endorsement to the efforts of Iowa to
secure prohibition by statute, and for
warded a copy to ministers in the sister
state.
Reports of th second annual conference
showed that Silas H. Tucker and Charles
F. Wlthrow were admitted on trial. Rev.
Mr. Wlthrow has been tn Omaha the past
week attending the present conference.
Rev. Clinton D. Day, D. C. Wlnehlp and
J. B. Priest remained on trial. Rev. Mr.
Wlnshlp Is now In Denver and Rev. Mr.
Priest has been present at the twenty
sixth session. Rev. Earnest L. Fox and
Robert W. Estep were admitted Into full
connection with the church, and Rev.
Samuel A. Bear, now resting, was readmitted.
The greater part of his i career in the
senate has been as chairman of th ap

John R. Sage cam to Iowa something
mor than twenty years ago from the east,
where he was a United Brethren minister.
In Iowa he engaged in the newspaper busi
ness for a time on a small newspaper and
then went to Cedar Rapids, where he be-
oame editor of th Cedar Rapids Republl-
can and a part owner of the plant. From
that he cam to Des Moines as the corre-
spondent of the Inter Ocean of Chicago and
the editor. of their farm department,
Always Interested in farm matters Mr.
Sage early became Interested In the crop
and weather reports. At Cedar Rapids he
had a hand In organising a crop reporting
bureau, whioh was run in a small way for
the benefit of the farmers of the state.
After being in Des Moines for a time in
neWBpaper work Mr.' Sage conceived th
,dea ot bringing this work to Des Molne
and of establishing It on a lego basis aa
part of tha Department of Agriculture. For
time he hrt nmn.. i th h,..
Then an arrangement waa made with th
government whereby he
was connected
with the weather bureau service and was
given an office in the government building

Mr. Sag and his friends take great
pride In hi published volumes. His chief
work has been to gather the data of the
crops of past years as accurately as could
