only proves that the democrats are cor
rect Ia saying that tbs law Of supply
aud demand finally regulates prices.

from silver and denying it the right of

Misappr"prIation of Church Property
Discussed

The final day of the Methodist con-
ference was busy one. This forenoon
was devot d to hearing committee re-
ports, and TO discussion of some trouble
over church property at Walla Walla.
1t seems that the Wilbur Chapel prop
erty there, donated by Father Wilbur
and Father White, was sold by the First
Methodist church of Walla Walla and
the proceeds spent in building a new
church. The complaint is now made
that the Wilbur Chapel belonged to the
conference as a whole and not to the
Walia Walla church. Rev. W. T.
Koontz and Father White, two pioneer
ministers. had something vigorous to
say on the subject, and there were other
talks. A committee was appointed to
see ii the alleged misappropriation can
be adjusted.
This forenoon, also, constitution and
by laws for the Preachers Aid Society
were read and adopted.
This afternoon was devoted to finances
and statistics. The conference is still
in session, and the appointments will
not be announced until It's close.
Pullman, Wash, was selected as the
place for holding the next conference.
The rival cities were Pullman, Moscow
and Walla Walla.
Rev. Utter advocated the establishing
of Methodist academy at Sprague,
Wash No action was taken by the
conference.
The report of the committee on the
state of the church was read, and adopt
ed with some modifcations.-Mon

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener-
ally needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails. when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of tonic and
and alternative is felt. A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious feyers. No medi-
cine will act more surely counteracting
and freeing the system from the malar-
ial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con-
stipation, Dizziness yield to Electric Bit
