Mr.. Ed. Delahoyde is expected home
from his southern journey the latter
part of the week. 1t is well for Mr.. l..
ID. Phelps, his bosom friend, that Ed is
coming back to resume control of q
certain sorrel dog. Phelps volunteered
to groom the dog during Delahoydes
absence and has found the contract to
be a grievous and expensive under
taking. The eur has rayenous appe-
lite for overshOes and gloves with n
relish of derby and tile hats. AS soon
as Ed was gone the small boys opened
up a profitable industry in secluding
the dog, and producing him only when
the keeper was driven to the despera-
ton of Offering fifty cents reward. The
promptness with which he was forth
coming when reward was offered finally
aroused Phelps suspicious, when he
secured the animal with a string and
has not allowed him to wonder further
than the! strings length at any time.

The hose company was out Friday
evening for the purpose of testing the
power of the new engine. Under the
management Of Mr.. +. J. Freeman it Is
in first class working order for the first
time since set, and in the test it gave
the best of satisfaction, showing all tho
power that has ever been claimed for
it. Standing at point between the
Rock Island depot and the two story
implement house of McFarlane, Dickey
& Co., they were enabled to throw a
strong stream to the top Of the latter
building. Audubon now has fire appa-
ratus probably superior to that of any
other town in Iowa of equal size. A
great deal more than the expense in
volved has been saved by prompt action
of the companies, and in the future our
citizens will have the satisfaction of
feeling comparative safety from loss by
the fire fcnd.

GENERAL CONFERENCE.
Election OF the Methodist Bishops.

NEW YORK, May %.
Rev. J. W. Joyce of Ohio was elected
third Bishop at the NJ. f. conference Wednes-
day AM. He is pastor of st. Pauls church
Cincinnati. Three hundred votes were nee
essary to choice, but DIR. ID. A. Goodsell
fell short on the number, getting but 296
votes.
On the same ballot DIR. John Newman re-
ceived 237 Charles II. Payne l67, and Earl
Cranston ll9.
While the tellers were out counting the
vote the committee on revisals reported sew
eral proposed changes in the discipline. One
of theee changes relative to the relations of
church choirs to the government of the
church occasioned considerable debate. The
present tendency to introduce operate and
other thigh falutin" music into church SER
vice was deprecated and on motion of Col.
Ray the item relating to church music was
amended so as to make music committees
to the general conference.
The sixth ballot resulted irf no election, but
Earl Cranston gained 20, DIR. Newman and
DIR. Goodsell 4, while DIR. Payne lost 80.
Something of a sensation was caused when
the tellers returned with the result of the
seventh ballot. They announced AL votes
cast. Necessary for a choice, 294. Drs.
Newman and Goodscll received 253 each, c.
l.. Payne 1856, and Earl Cranston 1856.
As none received the number required
there was no election. The sensation re-
ferred to was occasioned by one of the tell
ers announcing evidences of repeating. Two
votes were found on the seventh ballot that
were thrown out One consisted of slip of
paper nearly torn through the centre into
two slips. The names of two candidates
were written on each slip in the same hand
writing.
The other seemingly fraudulent ballot con-
sisted of two pieces of paper with the cor
ners turned down so that two could be cast
us one and then become separated in the hat
The pieces of paper were identical in size,
had the same corner turned down, and con-
tanned the same candidates name and were
in the same handwriting.
The votes cast in the ninth ballot num-
bered 430, making 1913 necessary for choice
Again the result was the same almost as the
three previous ballots.
Rev. DIR. Newman of Washington. is grad
ually creeping up, having received in this
last ba Hot 277, while GOodsell received 267.
The balloting began for the tenth time.
After the tellers had collected the ballots the
conference adjourned. The result of the
ballot will be made known Thursday morn

PRESBYTERIANS.
The Revised Version OF the Bible Not to
Be Used.


PHILADELPHIA, MAY %.
The Presbyterian general assembly this
forenoon voted, that in view of the present
unsettled opinion relating to the revised ver-
sion, it was inexpedient to authorize its use
in the public work of the sanctuary. The
corresponding delegates from the sister re-
ligious bodies were then received. Rev.
Jas Crawford, delegate from the reformed
church in the United States, delivered an
eloquent address of salutation from that
body. The assembly broke into a double
round of applause when he expressed his
sentiment that the Reformed and Presby-
terian churches might some time be one,
in fact as they were now one in christian
spirit and fellowship. The applause was
renewed when Moderator Rev. c. l.. Thomp-
son, DID,, of Kansas City, said that the gen
eral assembly and the Presbyterian church
reciprocated that sentiment. Rev VIM. NJ.
Baum, DID,, delegate from the Lutheran
church, also delivered fraternal address.
DR.. Thompson's reply was in happy vein.
Rev. Geo. W. Huntington, reformed Epis-
copal delegate, Rev. VIM. NJ. Barr of the
Lutheran church. and DR.. Richard ). Storrs
of the Congregational church, also spoke
eloquently.
