Report of nook Concern. The report of the publishing agents of the Metliodist Hook concern was Kiade and was In part as follows: It Is with much satisfaction that In malt ing our quadrennial report we are able to prsent un ejthlbtt of sales and earnings which surpass those of any other four 'years In the long history nf the hwk con cern. While the profits of the last fiscal yir are not quite equal fn thne of thT previous year, the slight falling off In not earnings la more than accounted for by the reduction In the hours of labor In our manufacturing department during that year iruui nine to an rigm-nour , wnii ui, reduction In the scale of wages. The total sales during the qundrennium have been W.liS.OlS, showing an Increase over the pre vious quadrennlum of f77..'7. The net profits haver 'been $.36,!W. an In crease over the previous four years of I231.H1. After providing for the payment of the last dollar of Indebtedness we closed our lant fiscal year -with cash on hand of SM.SW, together with surplus Investments and fire fund reserve amounting to 66,71S, making the total of cash and surplus at the end of the year I72J,18. All of our holdings In real estate are now free and clear of Incumbrance. The department of publica tions and sales bus made a gratifying show ing during each year of the quadrennlum. The total sales In this department for the four years amount fo $1,410,58:.', an Increase over the previous quadrennlum of $187,941. The department suffered a loss In sales by the transfer of the San Francisco business to the Western Methodist Book concern, hut benefited by the sales of the new hymnal, which have been large. Ckarch Extension anil Missions. The reports of the Board of Church Ex tension and the Board of Home Missions was given. In part It lollows: An unusual mortality prevailed among the members of the board during the quad rennlum. Six bishops have passed from IhImif to fewitr-H. CTitfht lavmon and four ministers were called from the church militant to the church triumphant. We think that the present general con ference should order that the Sunday school collections during the coming quadrennlum should be evenly divided between the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension and the Board of Foreign Missions. The commission ordered that the property should he divided equally, that bequests and legacies be divided equally, and why should t)i Sunday school collections have been divided unequally during the six months Just closing, Msy . ia08? The report refers to an effort which has been made on recommendation of the gen eral committee to consolidate the principal publications of the two boards and quotes a resolution adopted by a Joint meeting of representatives of the two boards at Phila delphia last starch. i was the sense of those who tooV part Mn' this meeting that tho consolidation of these publications at the present time1 Is undesirable and Im practicable. Continuing, the report says: Our Methodist city problems no one has yet comprehensively grasped. We havs been forced out a pioneers, not only in the method of our literature, but In Its matter.

PLAYS PART OF CIRCE (Continued from First Page.) murders at the Guinness home. Miss Conk 11 n Is not accused of complicity, but her testimony Is considered of so great . Im portance that she will remain locked up until the grand Jury hears her testimony next weex. It Is aald that Lamphere while talking to Miss Conklln made threats against Mrs. Guinness and said that he had Information which. If disclosed, would hang Mrs. Guinness. "He told me that Mrs. Guinness had to be good to him. or he would make it hot for her and send her to the gallows," said Miss Conklln to Sheriff Sinutier. She further said that she was ready to disclose all that Lampher told . her, ad ding "that he was In love with and craty Jealous over Mrs. Guinness." Coroner Mack has received from Ask Helgeloln a deposition according to the statements In which Lanyphere will be called upon for an explanation of some statements he la said to have made. Explanation to B Demanded. Helgeleln says In his deposition that Mrs. Guinness wrote him and in the letter said that Lamphere told her that he had met a man from Mansfield, S. D., who told him that Andrew Helgeleln was In Mansfield and Intended to stay there for some time. Mrs. Guinness said In the same letter that she had been expecting to hear from An drew for some time that Andrew Helgeleln had been In Chicago for two days and had v. i lite n her not to wtit him until all bear 1 front lilm again; that he was going to New York and thence to Norway. The statement of Mrs. Guinness does not agree with that of Lampher. Mrs. GuinneBS wrote Ask that the letter of Andrew was left In the kitchen while she went out to milk and that Lamphere had stolen It or It had been burned. 8he enclosed a piece of the letter, which had been found in the barn where Lamphere had been. , . In answer to a question as to how much money Andrew had she said she did not know, but she had gotten some of it and bad given a mortgage on her place. . Conflicting; Statements. Ask rad made a search of the records at La Porte, but could find no trace of a mort gage. Mrs. Guinness, In answer to another ques tion, said in the letter that Andrew left her place about 1 o'clock January 1$ or 1 and her 11-yrar-old daughter drove him into town, as he was going to Michigan City to remain over a day. Several days ago Lamphere told the po lice officers that Andrew Helgeleln left on the 6:10 train on the Lake Shore road, In tending to go to Chicago. Mn Dlstarb Corpse.
