CONFERENCE BRIEFS.

One minister, Rev. A. T. Burns, died
during the last year.
Death has only entered five families
of the entire conference during the past
year.
Rev. Ham said when he held his first
meeting in Wichita the congregation
sang "Old John Brown"
Yesterday was the greatest day OF the
conference and it Will be a long time be-
fore the day is forgotten.
Rev. T. 3. Lawrence is enjoying a
visit from his wife's mother who arriv-
ed last night to attend the conference.
The lay conference will meet this
morning at the Congrega tiOnal church
at . O'Clock. The proceedings VIII be
interesting.
Among other excuses which ministers
had TO make to show a reason for their
deficiencies were the discriminating
freight rates.
After the addresses last night a re-
ceptiOn was given the visitors in the
class rooms at the rear of the church.
Light refreshments were served.
The wives of the ministers in atten-
dance at the conference will be tender

SUED FOR ISLANDER
EMPLOYE AND EMPLOYER HAVE 4
TIME IN COURT.

Mr.. Mud Ouit- Mr.. Frieburg Because of an
Alleged Reduction of Wages at Arkan-
sas City and Mr.. Frieburc Goes in to
Queer Him by Writing Letter and
Telling His New Employers That He
Could Not be Trusted-The Result was
That Mr. Mud was Discharged by Rea-
son of These Representations.
The case of E. H. Mud against Erie
| burg is the important event now in the
district court and is being fought most
bitterly.
The jury was empanneled yesterday
after a great deal of sharp-shooting
among the lawyers in the case. Each
juryman was examined as closely as II
ne was to try murder case and many
of them were excused.
Mr.. Mud has sued Mr.. Frieburg for
s., 600 damages TO his character. Mr..
Mud is a citizen of this city and now IN
the employee of the postoffice department
while Mr.. Frieburg is the proprietor and
president of large mattress factory at
Arkansas City In March, 1892, Mr..
Mud, who is an expert in the manufac-
ture Of mattresses, was employed by Mr..
F'rieburg and worked for and with him
until September, 1894, when he quit be-
cause Mr.. Frieburg wanted him to work
for lower wages on account of the hard
times. AIr. Mud came TO Wichita and
found employment with the mattress
factory on the West Side, of which Mr..
George NJ Calhoun is the manager.
According to the allegations, Mr.. Erie
burg got angry and excited when he
found that Mr.. Mud had connected him.
self with rival mattress company and
while in this excited and warm condi-
ton he commenced the accusations
which finally resulted in the damage
suit. According to the statements OF
the Mud side Mr.. Frieburg tried and did
succeed by accusations against his char
acter to have him discharged from the
Wichita mattress factory. Mr.. FrieburS,
K is alleged, wrote letter charging
Mr.. Mud with dishonesty and in other
ways and other methods succeeded in
prejudicing Mr.. Calhoun against Mr..
Mud and finally discharging him believ-
ing the statements made and represent
ed TO him by Mr.. F'rieburg 10 the effect
that Mr. Mud was dishonest.
The case Is attra citing a great deal OF
interest, and is watched with especial
anxiety and concern by the laborins
men OF the city who are on Mr.. Nud's
s;6e Of the question on the theory that
II is dangerous to permit employers TO
sc injure an employees character so that
he cannot find employment as a means
Of furnishing him for not accepting
lower wages.

Disappearance of a Quaker

We take it that the Quaker idea OF
cultivating "the stiffness and the
quietness'' which has so great an eff
feet upon their children's educati ton
Is identical i'm effect with that practice
of retreat" for which thousands of
minds in our fussy generation have so
deep. and we may add SO Intellectual,
n longing. Even their peculiarities Of
dress and language have long since
ceased to excite ridicule. and are hard
ly more distinctive than those Of ear
nest Socialists, or of the newest sue
cessful Protestant denomination. Per-
feet federation, however. which has
benfited so many creeds, has almost
killed the Quakers, and in the hour OF
triumph of their most prominent ideas,
their society is dying, or nearly dying,
of want OF votaries. They have leav-
ened the community, and they are be-
ing absorbed into II. One would have
thought that thousands of families
would have joined their communion
as kind of intellectual retreat" safe
from the pressure of battling world,
hut 1t is not so, and If they have not
for a few years actually decreased,
they are never without the apprehen-
sion that. in this country at least, they
may disappear, swallowed up in the
multitude of those who agree with,
and yet do not belong to, their COM
munion.
