BREAD CAST UPON WATERS Returni to, Children of Man Who Ciit it After Many Tears. MRS. RUSSELL SAGE PAYS DEBT Father of Beaearlarlee Kettles A e roaat for Mrs. asre's Fataer Many Year Ka at Syraeaae, New York. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct. ll.-(8peelaj.) Be cause their father assisted the father cf Mrs. Russell Saga during a time of flnan' clal depression, Mrs. Russell Snje has hunted op four Iowa women and paid them $10,000. The money was turnej over to them today by Attorney Robert O. Brennan. acting for Mrs. Sago. Those benefiting by Mrs. Sago's generosity are I loses, Margaret and Llbby OUpbaiit of this city and Mary Ollphant, a teacher at Klondike, near here. Many years ago Joseph Slocum, father of Mrs. Sage, and Eaeklel Ollphant were In the wholesale salt business in Syra cuse, N. T. Later they failed and Slocum went bankrupt Ollphant took from his private means and paid the debu of the firm, which be djd not need to do.' Later the families drifted to different sections and both Ollphant and Slocum nre dead. Mrs. Sage knew of the clrcumatance and lately had the children of her father's benefactor looked up. They were found here at Dts Molnos, and when found to be worthy persons they were given the $10,000. All the ghls have been school teachers and have made their own living. 1 Friendly Salt Started. A friendly suit was started In- the dis trict court today to test the const itu tlonality cf the new commission form of government law for Dea Molms. Th3 suit is started by persons Interested In having the law adopted and Is a suit for an Injunction to restrain the city from proceeding with the routine of putting the law Into effect. There la some difference of opinion as to the proper method of proceeding with the suit, but It Is started with the Idea that it will be through the supreme court before the time for tho election next spring. Some attorneys maintain that the suit should be for a writ of mandamus to force the city to proceed. Then the city, since the present officials are opposed to the plan, would have fought the mandamus on the ground that it Is unconstitutional. Boya Steal Mall. During thla forenoon several small boys stole a large amount of mail from offices In the Iowa Loan and Trust company build ing. .They followed the mail carrier about and ploked up the mall he left.

U.-(Speclal.)-The great strike at Oelweln which has for sev eral weeks handicapped the Great Western railroad officials was virtually closed today by tho payment of wages to all of Its em nlnvea slth tha notice that hereafter there will be no more "union" authority In their shops. This amounts to a discharge, as the J 13th cf the mouth ia the usual pay day. The company win connnun na nui wmvii has been a matter of much tnteresx throuahout this section c! the state and particularly to the city of Oelweln where the removal of a portion of the shops to Bt. Fa-Jl has already made inroads on ihe ti:tlncaa of the town. The company contemplates removing other shops as soon ' n,.nt rnntracta are closed, as this i has for many years been a center for union men and the striking element. The action of the officials came as a great sur prise, as the men had supposed until today that the company was discouraged In trying- to 011 empty positions and would soon yield to the demands that had been so persistently fought.

CEDAR FALLS. Ia., Oct. ll.-(Speclal.) -The Upper Iowa conference Is now en gaged with regular routine business. Bishop William F. McDowell in the chair. Several hundred are already enrolled and the attendance will be greatly increased Friday, when will come. the voting for the honors of the conference for deleyaMs to the national conference. Dr. W'eut worth F. Stewart of Detroit: yesterday opened his dally series of evangelistic meetings and one of his pointed state ments at the very beginning was that evangelistic services were' never more necessary Uian the year of tha general conference, and that during' the coming two days there would be an atmosphere generated that might not be altogether ministerial 'In its character, becauae of the rivalries and Jealousies in the matter of appointments. The ministerial candidates for the gen eral conference are: Presiding Elder Plttner of Waterloo, ' Presiding iSlder P. E. Fleming of Manchester, Rev. W. W. Carlton of Mason City, President W. A. ehanklln of Upper' Iowa univeraity. Ur. E. 3. Lockwood, pastor of St. Paul's church, Cedar Rapids. The lay delegates are having greater rivalry, aa mere are more canaioatea rrj appointment. Only six of the followln gentlemen can have the honors desired: M. W. Sawyer, a veteran clothier of Cedar Falls, who baa been prominently con nected with the Methodiat Episcopal church of thle county for over half a century; M. F. Edwards, an attorney of Parkei-sburg; W. W. Robinson, a banksr of Hampton; Judge S. M. Weaver of Iowa Falls, who Is a member of the supremo bench of Iowa; Robert Raines, a banker of Independence; E. J. Esgate, a banker of Marlon; W. D. Lee. a banker at Toledo; E. D. Blue of Belle Plalne; J. J. Clark, an attorney at Mason City; E. E. Johnson, an editor of Marshalltown. There Is a strong undercurrent 'among the ministers here assembled that there should be a change In the presming elder ship. Three years ago at the annual con ference held at Davenport, Bishop Joyce had three new presiding elders to appoint. By the changing ff Dr. T. E. Fleming front the Decorab district to the Dubuque district tbe situation has become som.t what complicated, making It in one year that one presiding elder will be appointed and In two years one would be appointed, while In three yeara there will be four men to be appointed to take charge of the work of one of the districts. This difficulty would be averted if at this conference Blahop McDowell shall ap point a presiding elder for one of the districts, and another question Is pu aling the minds of tbe clerical roeu aa to whether it is necessary to have a pre siding eldership term last . aix years. Tboae who are familiar with tbe coodl.

D., the ot the Urns On Payment of COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINE For A Full Year. Its reputation is wo rid wide. This to the present year. We urge you tions of the Upper Iowa conference feol that Bishop McDowell could . do uothlng that would be more far-reaching or that would be more heartily supported than the appointment of a new man to one of the districts of the conference. f At the session yesterday morning the following clergymen were appointed to assist Wentworth F. Stewart " in Ms evangelistic work of the week: Its v. Frank Cole of the Cedar Falls district, Rev, H. W. Troy of the Cedar Rapids distvict. Rev. T. P. Shaffer of the Decorah district. Rev. J. F. Blndenberger of the Dubuque district. Rev. T. M. Evans of the ' Davenport district. Rev. Merl K. Smith of the Mason City district. Among the ministers who have beea tiansferred Into this district during the last year are: Rev. James H. Burchett, St. John's, Davenport, from Illinois; Rev. J. ' H. BarV, from the Minnesota confer ence; Rev. Mr. Maxwell, from the Oregon coaference; Rev. E. D. Hull, from Rook River, and Rev. A. W. Conklln, from West Wisconsin. . It wllj be a pleasure for all frlenda of Dr! FraVik L. Loveland of Omaha to learn tht Blahop McDowell reinstated him In the confidence and esteem of the Upper Iowa conference by completely exoner ating him before the elders here assembled of all the unjust criticisms recently pub lished and reading to them tha resolutions adopted by the North Nebraska confer ence. Loveland went from Waterloo last spring. Rev. Leroy Gallagher, reported fatally Injured In a runaway last night on his way to bis wedding, was to have - .dmitted to this conference today, r He took the examination here Tuesday. I left Wednesday for Marshalltown to be ! married In the evening and expected to re turn today. The bishop ordered a telegram of sympaUjy. Later a message was re ceived stating that Gallagher was con acioua and waa married tonight In bed. Iowa fni Notes. WcnRTKR C1TJ This city had a .V0X Bre this mortitng.
