Methodist Conference.

The Methodist Episcopal confer
ence of this district closed its session
at Beaver Dam, and the general re-
suit of its labors is given. The ses-
sion of the conference appears to
have been a more than ordinarily
lively one. Most readers know that
the condition of church affairs in
Milwaukee has been in an unsettled
state for some time past. What is
known as the presiding elder trouble
has now been thoroughly overhauled
by Bishop Newman, but whether to
general satisfaction remains to be
seen. Presiding Elder Halsey has
been retired from his office and a
charge in common with other minis
tiers assigned him. The Milwaukee
.SentiueI gives what purports to be a
quite full account of the different in
terests which agitated the conference.
Rev. B. F. Sanford is assigned to
the Methodist church in Kenosha.
Many friends of Rev J. ]. Hartley
will regret that he does not return to
this city. He has been appointed to
a charge at Marinette, Appleton dis
triCt.

A War of the Future.

When war comes in Europe, as it
must come some time, it will be seen
that a new era has begun in the art
of destruction. The Belgian histor-
ian, Emile de Laveleye, sums up in
an article in the Forum for October
the terrible factors of the next con-
fict. The civil war in the United
States was but child's play in COM
parison. With Russia and France
on one side and Germany, Austria,
and Italy on the other, seven mil
lions of men can be instantly put in
the field, with ten millions in reserve.
The facilities for concentration and
the improved arms are such that
more men may easily be killed in
one day than have ever before been
killed in whole war. The, contin-
uous preparations for war, even
when there is no thought of its i'm
mediate occurrence are far greater
and more expensive than ever be-
fore. France has surrounded her
frontiers and her capital with a con-
tinuous line of forts and entrench-
ments Germany has made Metz,
Strasburg, Mayence. and Cologne
gigantic fortresses, which seem alb
solutely impregnable. Italy has for
tilted her Alpine passes, her sea-
ports, and the Eternal City itself.
Belgium is spending forty millions
of francs in the construction of re-
doubts with cupolas of steel, to close
the passage by the Mass valley.
The war budgets are everywhere in
creasing in enormous proportions.
Sand it is under this continual men
ace of the most frightful shock OF
armies that our planet will ever have
looked upon," writes M. de Lavel-
eye, that we live. And the extraor-
binary thing is, that we get used
to it. We go about our business,
our pleasures; we rush in crowds
from all parts to the Paris exhibition
while each one says: 1T may be for
tomorrow"

time of the Saracens and will be a
magnificent series of stage spectacles
representing that far off epoch.
Marches. professions, dances, war
scenes and music will be prominent
features in the pictorial side of the
play, and Mr.. Young, the author,
whose Pendragon will be remem-
bered, it is said has excelled himself
in the literary work of this play.

Parents should be careful that their child
rem do not contract colds during the fall or

the lungs and air passages, making the child
much more likely to contract other colds
during the winter. 1t is this succession of

Corn and Wheat.

THE welcome news comes from
different parts of the state, also from
the great northwest, that the corn
crop is mostly beyond the reach of
damage from frost, and in most To-
calities will be fair average one.
This intelligence is the more graft
flying for the reason, that not many
weeks ago it was proclaimed that
corn the present year would be near
ly, if not quite a failure. Though
Wisconsin is not corn growing
state, like Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas
and many other states, yet it is one
of the crop reliances of large pro-
portion of the farming population.
Forty years ago the chief market
crop raised in this state was wheat;
every farmer devoted as many acres
of his cultivated lands to wheat as
he conveniently could. After the
thrashing season was fairly under
way, it was a sight worth going far
to see, the long lines of wagons load
ed with wheat, vending their way to
the warehouses at this place. Wheat
was brought here from the Rock
River country, as it was then called
for shipment The transportation
on the lakes by steamers and sail
vessels to Buffalo, was inadequate
to relieve the overlooking ware
houses, and vacant buildings were
secured in the town, and made de-
positories for wheat. The basement
of the Methodist Church, then stand
ing on Main Street, was given up to
the storage of wheat. Great chang
es in the market productions of
Southern Wisconsin during the past
thirty years have taken place, the
warehouses here have gone to decay
or disappeared; no wheat for trans
portation has for years been brought
to this market. Some predict that
changes will occur to render South
ern Wisconsin favorable to wheat
growing as it was many years ago.
There is no probability that wheat
raising will ever become again an
important industry in this part of
the country. The vast wheat grow
ing prairies of the new northwestern
states and territories, will be able to
produce this crop cheaper than it
can be grown in Wisconsin and Ill
inois, where farming lands have
reached a high figure in value.
