West wisconsin Conference.

West Wisconsin Conference.
No more delightful session of the
West Wis. Conference was ever held
than the one just closed at Dodge
vile. The attendance was very
large, both of ministers and laymen,
but Dodgeville was equal to the
emergency, for the whole town
seemed to be keeping open house.
Bishop Bowman presided with
ease and, as he had plenty of time,
nothing was done hurridly. Abund-
ant time was given to the considera-
tion of every subject To one not
intimately connected with Method
ism an annual conference is reve-
lation, for Methodism is not simply
an organization of missionaries for
the conversion Of souls, but it
touches every phase of human ne
cessity, and particularly the moral
and intellectual. There is nothing
dearer to Methodist ministers than
schools. They are loyal to the state
schools while the children are at
home securing the rudiments of
knowledge, but when the young
people 90 from home, they desire to
place their children under spiritual
Influences, and so the church fosters
colleges and seminaries. This con-
ference is interested in Lawrence
University, and after thrilling
speeches by Pres't Raymond and
Bishop Bowman (who was college
president 2S years. $4,000 was sub
scribed by the conference toward
the enjoyment of Lawrence Uni
versity.
Then, there is the general mis-
sionary society which sent DR.. Nc
Cabe to plead for million for mis-
sions, and he got the conferences
share Dr.Spencer plead for church
extension. -Four hundred and
eighty-three churches had been aided
in the past year, and now we
need help more and more. Church
es for the poor is the motto. DR..
Gray, of Chicago, plead for the
Freedmen's Aid society--a quarter of
million for the education of the
poor whites and poorer negroes of
the south. Advanced civilization
among the lower classes is the hope
of the nation, and so the cry Of the
NJ. E. church, help the south; grand
fraternity. Mrs. Eaton, the accom-
plished wife of the presiding elder,
of Madison district, and Miss Baker
of Morenci, Mich, held an enthusi-
astic meeting in the interests of
heather women, to whom they are
sending scores of female physicians.
On Saturday mass meeting was
held to secure an endowment fund
for the superannuated ministers, and
fair start was made.
Sunday the congregations were
enormou s, but the exercises warrant
ed the throng.

WOMAN LIBELLED.-The Boston
Post thus libels the female whist
player:
Did you ever see a woman play whist; Nof
Well. She does it somewhat as follows. "Oh
dear. don't believe can ever get these cards
arranged Now, let me see, that one goes there,
and-oh, dear, I've dropped one on the floor
Won't you pick it up?-Thanks Now, let me
iee-Oh. is il my play Mercy y!-I'm sure |
don't know which one to play-There, played
the wrong one, but never mind Have / got to
follow suit-well, if / can't follow suit, can /
trimp?-Oh, wish could have thrown away
on that trick-Could I-Oh, I'm sorry Now how
stupid was didn't see it was my partners ace
which l trumped, but never mind" And so it
goes on. and at the end Of the game her partner
generally has to stand the ridicule of the other
side because he was - badly beaten
The above may have been written
as applicable to the eastern women;
it certainly has no bearing on those
in the west, for those who have a
liking for the game at all, play it in
the most matter-of-fact way. They
arrange their cards as quickly as
their gentlemen partners, and devote
themselves to the game without
any unnecessary words. IF you
don't believe it, sit down and try a
game with one of our good lady
players. She will astonish you with
her quietude, no less than by her
playing, and if the gentlemen do
any unnecessary talking, the prob
ability is that she will gently take
them to task for ii.

A NEEDLE IN A CuILD's BoDY. "A
few days since, DR.. Jackson was
called to the residence of Mr.. Han
son, on Canal street, to attend little
child, who was in pain from some
unknown cause. The doctor exam
ined the little sufferer carefully and
found buried beneath the skin of
the abdomen and parallel with the
surface of the body an ordinary
needle. The needle was carefully
pressed to the surface and pulled out.
1t is not known how il reached its
peculiar resting place, but the theory
is that it must have been rubbed off
the person of some one holding the
child. It's presence beneath the skin
was only determined by feeling, as
it was not visible. DR., Jackson re.

that it is the first of the Kind which
ever came within the range of his
experience. RadisoM Lohnmak.

HORSE-rHIEF CAUGHT.

About two weeks ago a sinai listed man,
who gave his name as John Marks, arrived
in this city with mule which he sold VIM.
Long, and then Immediately set about 60
ing into business. He leased one-half of the
the room occupied by the new Chin ese
laundry, on Douglas avenue near the corner
Of Emporia, where he opened tailoring re-
pair shop. A few days ago Sheriff Fisher
received postal card from the sheriff of
Douglas county, giving q description of a
man and mare he had stolen at Black
Jack, Douglas county. There was a man
here who knew the tailor and knew him
to be John Harmot which was
the name of the man who stole the mare.
Sheriff Fisher arrested Harmot day before
Yesterday, and telegraphed the sheriff of
Douglas county, and yesterday morning the
deputy sheriff of Donglas, who is the sher-
ifs son, arrived here and took charge of
the prisoner, and left for home with him
yesterday evening. This man was quite
sly business thief. but he was caught all the
same. He acknowledged his guilt, and said
he had traded the mare at Florence for
mule and sold the mule to Long. Mr.. Long
says he sold the mule to some railroad man,
who took him away. There was $50 reward
for the thief and mare, and $25 for the
mare alone

The new residence Of Judge Sluss, on
North Topeka avenue, has received the fin
ishing touches and the Judges family will
take possession to-day. 1t is q commodious
and handsome establishment, in which the
contractor, Mr.. Sternberg, was allowed to
evince his own taste as 10 ornamentation
and finish, and the result is there are few
more convenient or delightful homes to be
found in the city. The house is full two
stories, on four foot basement, and so ar
ranged thst the entire lower floor, including
a ten foot hall way, and excepting kitchen,
buttery and pantry, can be practically
thrown into one room. The pantry, in con-
struction and finish, is the incest thing of
the kind that we have seen in the town. The
drawing room, which is lighted by a very
handsome bay window, the floor Of which is
tessalated, is heated by an open CRATE, with
splendid yariegated marble and tileing
hearth to match. The kitchen sink is sup
piled with hot and cold water and rain water
in addition. The bath room is on the Sec
ond floor and is complete as to hot and cold
water connections and also as to connection
with rain water tank. There are five hand
some chamber rooms, besides closets, etc.
The lower front of the house is protected
and ornamented by Queen Anne porch.
The house is perfect throughout for gas and
water, and the Kitchen has roomy and airy
cellar beneath it. The finish of the house
throughout is in natural woods worked down
in varnish. We congratulate Judge Sluss
and his amiable wife on the possession of
such home.

A MEAN ACT.

The pathetic little story told in the EAGLE
few days since of baby's dog and the cruel
poisoner, recalls another sacriligious act of
a vandal who deprived little boy Of his
daily companion by administering fatal
drug. This little boy, sickly child, de-
prived of the pleasure of playing with rough
er children, his sensitive, delicate nature
held him aloof from his mates and he spent
many hours with his favorite companion, .
beautiful shepherd dog, and gently and
kindly stole of to some favorite spot TO muse
alone in childless innocence, unmindful Of
the rugged world that stronger boys take
delight in. Apart from his own household
he was motherless-his little, faithful,
gamboling dog was his joy. companion and
friend. But his sorrow came, the brain OF .
heartless wretch and the hand Of . brute,
conceived and slew the dear, bright, little
dog, and rent the sensitive heart of . noble
little boy. A brute, bordering on the human
is noble. but the human, bordering on the
brute, is an abomination and hateful to man
kind

Is III PQSSIRLE.

1t is believed by . number Of persons who
have had superior opportunities for obser-
walton that Sorrells, the Ascending painter
and Nellie Bailey have eloped together.
Whether Sorrells clipped with Nellie or
Nellie with Sorrells is nc. known. Two or
three parties report having seen them TO-
gether in an upstairs room on more than one
occasion and it is stated positively they leH
this city on the same train. Information
has also leaked out which explaines Sorrcns
incentive for skipping. 1t said the marfhall
has been receiving letters from parties
in Indiana, aud Of late the tone Of these
letters indicated that this town would be
made too hot for Mr.. Sorrells. 1t 10 said,
further, that his step-daughter has some
thing to remember him by. and that in
many respects he is . hard case. 1t is
thought that Nellie Bailey is anxious to lay
the plot for another book, and is Of with
Sorrells. Some think he will prove . match
for her. The EAGLE will not vouch for the
correctness Of ANY Of these statements, but
they come from pretty good authority, and
have the color Of truth.
