The conference for Sunday-school Off
GERS and teachers was then held. Prob
ably 800 persons attended this last meet
ing. They were gathered into compact
body in front of the platform.
Mr.. Mills spoke on "How to make the
best use of the Sunday-school session
next Sunday" He said that any school
that goes through the regular routine of
Sabbath-school work will make serious
mistake. He would have a special con-
Secration meeting to induce the nom
Christian scholars to accept the Savior
He related several instances of wonderful
work of this kind done at other cities
and recommended that the teachers
make special endeavor to bring their
pupils into the kingdom and induce
them to come out Squarely on the Lords
side. He would not have the schools
called 10 order-would have brief prayers
offered for the conversion OF the scholars.
There are not more than dozen hymns
which Mr.. Mills would have sung in
these special Sunday-school services. He
would have tender, penitent hymns sung
such as Just As | Am,'' Almost Per-
suaded'' and "Come, sinners, Come"
In place of the regular lesson, fifteen
minutes should be devoted 10 asking the
children to come to Christ. a teacher
funny stories TO tell his boys on Sunday,
SO as TO interest them. The speaker
thought if he would talk to them of
Christ it would be such a novelty that
they would gladly listen.
1t would be great mistake for a
teacher TO get the best Christian on earth
10 take his place on the coming Sunday.
Plan for this meeting-enIlst the efforts
of the Christian members in the work of
saving the rest and trying to get them to
come out openly and earnestly for Christ.
Teachers are invited to bring their schol-
ars to the Sunday afternoon service at
$50.
Mr.. Mills told of young lawyer in Ia
coma, not Christian, who was elected to
teach a Sabbath-school class. He tried TO
resign, but his constituents would not
have 1t. de went away mad; he cursed
and swore because of the fact that he had
TO teach class in the Sunday-school.
But that night, after severe struggle, he
at length yielded his heart to God and
has since. been consistent, jealous la
borer in the Lords service.
THE AFTER MEETING

OMAHA, Neb., April l4.-The Demo.
cratic state convention for the selection
of delegates to the Chicago convention
met here yesterday. A motion to APP
point committee on credentials i'm
mediately precipitated a lively contest
over the two delegations from Douglas
county, in which Omaha is located.
One delegation favored the election of
Governor Boyd as delegate at large
to the Chicago convention and the 9th
er delegation opposed him, preferring
Euclid Martin, Nebraska worlds fair
commissioner.
The convention at large was clearly
disinclined to take sides in the quarrel
and sat by quietly while the contesting
delegations overwhelmed the chairman
with motions, amendments and substi-
tutes until that gentleman was hope
lessly tangled.
After an hours contention the chair
man made a ruling permitting the
Boyd delegation to vote and denying
that right to contesting delegates
The convention then adjourned till
this morning to enable the credentials
committee to report.
The Nebraska Democracy favors
Cleveland's nomination but there is a
strong sentiment against instructing
the delegation to Chicago. Another
contest is anticipated for to-day
over a resolution favoring the free
coinage of silver. Congressman Bryan
has such resolution prepared and has
announced his intention of making a
speech in its support

resolution offered yesterday and
yielded to Mr.. Wolcott, who proceeded
Immediately to address the senate on

True Inwardness of tho Trouble.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 13.-Mr. G.
X. Bucl1ing, a mine owner of Casper,
Wyo., who is spending a few days in
Kansas City, speaking yesterday of the
cattlemen's war in the Northwest, de-
clared that all the published accounts
are inspired by one faction in
the fight which, he says, is not,
as claimed, between ranchmen and
thieves, but between rich ranch own
ers and poor homesteaders. He said
the telegraph reports give the people
mistaken idea of the situation in Wy
oming and Montana. 1t all comes
from the large cattle buyers and men
who own vast herds of cattle that
roam the plains heretofore untram-
meled save by the hoof of the
cattle and the cowboys horse. The
trouble all comes from men in moder-
ate circumstances taking up their
homesteads of 100 acres on some
stream and building fence around it.
A score of these along d stream-and
naturally they settle on streams in or
der to get the water for their few ami
mals-will greatly hinder the rich
cattlemen from handling their
herds with the same facility.
They want these small men out of
there and are doing all they can to get
them out. The poor fellows fences
are cut and they are shot from behind
rocks and bushes by hired desperadoes.
The CANCERS are i'll fated and unless
something is done in their behalf ther
must go. They are called cattle thieves
by the big owners and made war
against under the cloak of that pre-
tence in order to clear them out of
the bottoms of Powder river and Crazy
Woman river.

DALLAS, Tex, April 14.-The 'lilly
white" state Republican convention
effected permanent organization
yesterday. The address was made by
j. p. Newcomb of San Antonio, which
concluded as follows:
"Only upon the intelligence and
manhood of the white American citi-
zens can any party in this country
hope for growth and success. We call
upon the white Republicans of the
state-those in sympathy with the
principles and policies of the Republic
an party-to come to our aid and give
us their assistance in building up Re-
publicanism in Texas"
The first resolution favors the pres
ent tariff. The second deprecates the
force bill and hopes it will not be
brought up again in congress. A full
ticket was then nominated for the
state officers and four delegates at
large to the Minneapolis convention.

When Seward Was Little Known.

William Fl. Seward used to tell a
story that seemed to give him great Joy
to repeat. When he was member of
the state senate the first time he re-
ceived message from one of the most
distinguished politicians in New York
asking for an interview. Mr. Seward
felt pleased to be honored thus, and
arraying himself in his Sunday clothes,
which consisted Of a blue broadcloth
coat, cut swallow tail fashion, light col
ored trousers strapped over the CATERS,
a very high dickey collar and stiff stock
and bell crowned beaver hat, he went
to call on the distinguished man. He
was received in the parlor, and the poll
tician, while courteous, was cold and
distant, treating him with the utmost
formality. Mr. Seward said, Il thought
perhaps you had some special business
with me-"
"No, sir; | do not think of any-in
fact, l supposed you were paying me a
call Of mere respect"
"But / received a message from you"
81 do not remember to have sent one.
l am expecting this afternoon a visit
from Senator Seward. Maybe my re-
quest has miscarried. l did not catch
your name"
"Why, l am Senator Seward, gen
eral."
The politician arose from his seat,
went toward Seward, put his hands on
his shoulders and said: "Well, senator,
you will pardon me, know. [ supposed
you were a young beau who had called
with lurking desire to meet my daugh-
ter. Let me apologize by saying that
you have indeed an old head on young
shoulders"
Then he abandoned his formal man
ner, and an intimacy was begun whic.l
lasted for years.-New York Sun.
