it took nearly all of the morning session
and part of tha afternoon for the Woman'D
Christian Temperance union of Iowa yea
tet Jay, lo elect two officers, president and
vice president. The remaining officers wNl
be elected this morning:.
Mrs. Marlon H. Dunham of Chicago,
formerlr of Burlington, waa re-elected
president for the eighteenth time. Mrs. L.
B. Carhart of Marlon waa re-elected vie
president. .
The election waa held behind closed doors
and the delay. It waa slated, was due
to a miscount fcf voters by the credentials'
committee . and a consequent confusion
among the tellera. There were other can
didates, it la said, for tha office ot presi
dent, but their names were cot made pub
Ilo outside the convention. Tha question
was raised, whether Mra. Dunham's resi
dence outside the state did not disqualify
her for president. After more or leas dis
cussion the convention decided It did not,
especially as she expects to resume her ,
residence In Burlington, which she still
claims as her home.
Mrs. Honeyman of Emerson led the open
ing devotional exercises, and later, gave
ber report aa superintendent of the Bun
day school work of tt; .? union. She re
ported that 2.6 pledges had been taken
in the Sunday schools during the year,
10, K! 2 pages of temperance literature dis
tributed and twenty-six strictly temperance
meeting held.

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

recovered. ' '

GREAT WESTER V STAWDS FIRM
Surprises Workmea by Issuing; Order
for Ope Shops.
WATERLOO. Ia., Oct. 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.

MANY CANDIDATES FOR HONOR
Methodist Conference Interested la
Election of Ueleaates.
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.
