The N. E. Conference.

The Conference closed its labors a
Owatonna Monday evening, and from
all reports the meeting was fraughl
with harmony and much good to the
cause OF religion.
Elder Martin who last year was the
presiding elder for this district, has
been assigned the pulpit of the church
here TOR the ensuing year, and as he is
well known to all our church friends
here, as good practical man and earn
est worker in the cause of Christian
religion, the church has year Of
progress before it only equalled by the
one just closed.
Rev. Mr.. Showers has beer. appointed
Presiding Elder of the district.
Rev. j. NJ. Gimpson has been ap-
pointed To the Mankato circuit.
Rev. &. w. Savidge has been trans
ferred to another conference, and will
take the pulpit of the First NJ. E. church
of Omaha, one of the most important
changes west of the Missouri river.
There, we are glad to note, Mr.. Savidge
will receive u considerable increase Of
salary over what he was allowed here,
and while his labors are more in one
sense than here, he has not the EN-
barrassing drawback and anxiety of u
heavy church debt to detract from ms
other church duties, and that he will
prove abundantly able to discharge all
requirements IN satisfactory manner,
can he vouched for by his large circle

Mankato Stone.

Never in the history of Mankato has
the demand for her unexcelled stone
been so great as at present, and from
this henceforth, the undcveloped, and
we might appropriately add, unexplored
resources Of this vast industry will con-
tinue to increase, and its growth can
only be marked by the capital invested
and labor employed. The quantity is
inexhaustable, the quality unexcelled,
and the location of the various quarries
SO conveniently situated to railroad
lines, rendering the labor comparatively
small in making ready for shipment,
that no visible power can prevent Man
kato from becoming the central point
for the supply of stone for the great
Northwest. Indeed it may be SO con-
sidered at this time, for it Is question
able whether there is another point in
Minnesota, or the State of Iowa, that
is quarrying as much stone as is daily
unearthcd here.
A brief visit to the Mankato stone
yards will bring conviction that what
Is here stated not only is far
from exaggeration but falls
much short of what might be
justly said of this growing industry
Salspaugh u Co. have now in active
service one hundred and twenty-five
men, and are anxious to engage thirty
more laborers; Edwin Darrah has about
forty men, and is looking about for a
sufficient number of laborers to double
his force; Capt. j. II. Beatty has from
twenty-five to thirty; p. II. Jordan
with the N. w. railroad, has some
thirty-five men, while Messer and
Fowler have 40 men and 12 teams. II
is safe to estimate that our stone inter.
ests at present employ nearly or quite
two bundled aud fifty men, and at lea.

County Commissioners.

Taxpayers are vitality interested in
who shall be elected TO preside over and
nipulate the finances of SO large "a

whose worth is highly regarded by all
who know HIM. lie is among the
pioneer settlers of the county, Is man
whose success us farmer proves him Il
judIciOus, economical and safe business
man, and just such an one as would
make model Commissioner. The
friends of economic administration
should turn in and elect Mr.. Smith by
commendable majority.
The Fifth District has chosen one of
the best men in the county in the per-
son of James McBroom, of Danyille.
Mr.. McBroom is a gentleman OF wide
experience, broad views, and will, If

payers generally an unflinching friend

McBroom should be elected, and In
fact the entire number of Republican
nominees for Commissioners should be
treated in like manner.

Our Late Pastor.

He came to us three years ago. The
boy preacher we then called him, as
this was but his second appointment
We wondered ut that time why confer
ence had not sent us more ex
perienced man, for surely this boy
could never raise the required sum to
pay OF the heavy debt that was now
hanging like dark pail over our beloved
church editce; the sanctuary of God
which, by earnest Christian efforts had
been built and dedicated to his service
Must it now forever pass from our
hands for want of proper management
and be used in future, as some had al
ready predicted, for dance house or
theatre2 Why then did they fail TO
send us the proper man in this, our
time Of need, that our church might
be redeemed from debt But they said
VIC were too poor to support better
minister and must accept cheap one
or none. But God soon taught It's that
this man whose ability we had ques-
toned on account of his lack III years,
was vassal to honor who like Daniel
Of old with sling in hand would nc.
cOmplish more than all the Sauls our
fond imagination had conceived of, for
he not only by frequently drawing from
his own private purse and the liberal
donations Of others, soon succeeded in
cancelling the debt, but by his kind
and unassuming manners obtained the
good will of all his people; accepting
the might OF the humblest giver with
rs much consideration as the larger do
nations of those who of their abund-
ailce had cast in much. And now as
he goes from us to labor in other fields
we can but pray that he be kept all
sacred to Jesus, enjoy the perfect love
of CHRIST and be filled with all the full
ness Of God. M. ID.
