The Nashville conference July .. 1871,
consisting of l.. D. Foster OF st. Cloud;

lis July - and organized the commit
tee by the election of the following
officers l.. ID. Foster, chairman; j. Is.
Dukes, vice-charman; J. c. lianley,
secretary and treasurer. At that meet
ing it was decided to invite The n.eIn-

mittee of Minnesota, consisting Or
Thos ]. Meighen, Maj. J. NJ Bowler
and w r. Dcbbyn. to meet with us in
conference and to decide on some plan
of cooperation that would be saflsfac-
tory in organizing and edclcating the
Peoples party of this state Our INV
tation was refused by Mr.. Dobbyh and
Major Bowler. They seemed to be IN
der the impression that orr committee
desired to usurp the authority OF their
committee and under that impression,
they declined to meet With our COM
mittee Mr. T. J. Meighen heartily ap-
proved of the action OF the NaShvi. 4
conference inadcpting a plan for plac-
Ing our party upon a substantial and
permanent basis Of organization. and
was most willing to cooperate in any
way to bring this about.

have its policy known and understoo
by the PCDuists OF the state Our
committee is not in opposition with
any Of the previously constituted com
mittees of our party 1t does net seek
to antagonize any authority Oh any
legal committee within the party. But
1t does seek to secure the active and
earnest cooperation Of every OrSaniZa-

to organize Peoples party clubs, and
TO build up and strengthen the party
In every way possible. And III view Of
this fact had already prepared an ad-

1t was decided by our committee on ac-
count of the extreme length Of our ad

We would therefore recommend ant

Strange Case OF Young Lady Who Lies
Ia Trance.

/ Miss Katherine Kane a charming young
woman who resides with her parents in
Elizabeth, y. j., has been lying in "a cata-
! ieptlc condition for some time past in the
General hospital in that city
! Nc causes are ssigned at the hospital
/ for Miss Kane's condition. 1t was said
in some quarters THAI she was a deeply
religious girl and had exhausted her nerv-
Gus strength by her devotion to a mission
attached TO st. Patrick S Roman Catholic
church, which, by the way, is not far from
her home
Not long ago Miss Kane while seated
at table with her mother, was seized with
pains in her throat She protested she
gould not swallow, and even after the
family physician, who had been sum
moned, arrived and declared that there
was nothing the matter with her Miss
Kane insisted that she was unable to eat
and shortly afterward collapsed.
The next morning she was found lying
with staring eyes and jaws closed like
wise She could not or would not reply
to questions and refused all nourishment.
Under the circumstances it was deemed
advisable TO remove her to the General
hospital, where all efforts to arouse her
proved fruitless.
Since her arrival in the hospital Miss
Kane has been nourished with liquid food
introduced into the stomach by means of
nasal tubes.
The physicians declare that there is no
physical reason why Miss Kane should not
eat, drink, sleep and talk. 1t is simply
that her hysteria took the form of her i'm
agining it impossible to do so. -Exchange

Edward Welsh was found by Officer
Brown in Cleveland one morning recently
attempting to dispose of bride on On

him as to the manner he came into posses

At last he volunteered to show the officer
just where he got it and led him to the
Farmers hotel on Michigan street. and
walking to the stable hung the bride up
on a peg and smiled at the officer, saying.
THAT is my team standing there, and the
bride belongs to their harness"
The officer made inquiries, however, and
learned that Welsh did not own the team

DOG HUNG THE JURY.

His Reputation Was at Stake. and He
Seemed to Know 1t.
Leo a St. Bernard owned by John G.
Hartmann of Wilmington, Del, proved a
splendid witness in his own behalf in a
lawsuit tried recently. Benjamin C. Bar
clay sued Hartmann for $4,000 damages,
declaring that the dog had attacked him
without prOvOcatiOn, severely lacerating
his hand and arm. Testimony was offered
to show that the dog had attacked other
people.
In defense of his reputation Leo himself
appeared. He came to court gayly dressed
for the occasion in a silver collar and big
red bow. He made stately circuit of the
courtroom, went to the jury box and
offered his paw to the digniffed ~ and
then gave the judges appealing glances,
tenderly rubbing his nose against their
knees and wagging his tail. Several per-
sons also testified to his excellent DISPOSE
ton, and he was proved to be a great pet
among the children in his neighborhood.
When the judge summed up the case
and the jury filed out, the dog followed
them and remained in the jury room until
noon, and when court adjourned they an
nounced that they could not agree, and
were locked up for the night. At the end
of 26 hours they were discharged on dis
agreement, six of the jurymen firmly
agreeing that the dogs reputation for good
temper was excellent. = Twenty -four bal
lots were taken.-New York Mail and Elk

without saying.

election as avowed enemies of the admin
istraton, the other six successful ones are
also declared to he straight anti-Collier
men, to whose election the Consolidated
Railway Company, through Joel Hurt,
contributed its powerful effort In short
the anti-administration faction declares
that the election was a complete Waterloo
for the mayor, and the prediction is made
that he will have a rocky road to travel in
dealing with the new council.
The official count of the ballots showed
that G. p Adair received one majority
over II. A. Boynton for councilman from
the Second ward. The city executive
committee was asked to order a recount
by Mr. Eoynton, but this was objected to
as Illegal unless charges OF fraud were
made. and no recount was made. Boynton
thought there might have been a mistake
in counting, but would not make charges
of fraud or enter a contest, so Adair was
declared elected by the committee.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 9.-The anti-Coller
element in municipal affairs has been ju-
bllating exceedingly to-day over the re-
suit of yesterdays election. They claim
that the mayor got a decided drubbing in
the contest and in some quarters there
has been warhoop as if the scalping
knife had already done its work on his

There is little doubt that the mayor was
a large issue in the fight. He has been
the most aggressive head of the munich
pality that the present generation has en-
countered, and, in consequence, a whole
stock of knives have been unsheathed for
him almost from the commencement of
his administration last January. Two of
the widest gaping wounds which were
partially avenged yesterday were the
fight against the consolidated street rail
way for transfer led by Mayor Collier and
the summary abolition of the board of
education which was accomplished by
council at his dictation. Since these
things happened the aggrieved ones have

The first services at the Seventh Street
Methodist church will be held to-day.
With the exception of a few touches to
finish it up, this church has been COM
pleted.
Nearly all of the members of the con-
gregation have already paid visits to the
church, and are greatly delighted with
its comforts and its attractiveness.. The
edifice is as handsome, and by many ad-
judged to surpass, in appearance, any of
the smaller churches of the city. Great
pride is felt on the termination of the
work that has been in progress with many
delays, from one reason or another, for
long while.
There will doubtless be a large congre-
cation in attendance at the services to-
day. The pastor, Rev L. f. Morgan, has
recovered from a rather severe attack of
fever, and will conduct the services. He
will preach at both the morning and the
evening services. 1t is anticipated that

Mr.. Joseph Benson for quite while, and

week. The programme is as follows:

ident Seventh Street League; Wednesday
