yards and operate It, although no assurance
that 1t will be done has Oseu given. If The
proposed improvements are made the pack
ing houses will all be lighted by electricity
and an effort will be made to boom ST
George, the suburb adjoining the stock
yards.

The lay brethren Of the Methodist
church are waking up to a sense OF their
unequal rights in the councils Of the
church and are inaugurating u syste-
matte rebellion against the existing
bondage. Three times have they ap-
pealed to the ministers to grant them
equal power and voice in the courts or
councils, of the church, and three times
have the ministers voted against it. A
Chicago dispatch of the 9th inst says:
The church will be brought face to
face next week with q revolt that will
probably overshadow the question Of
delegates in the general con-
ference. Representatives of Pennsyl
vania and New Jersey conferences issued
an addreis for the change. Leading lay
men of Indiana called q state convention
to meet at indianapolis next Wednesday
to consider the question. A lay con
vsntion representing the Cincinnati con
ference seLt greetings last week to th'
Indiana convention andiurged the calling
OF a national convention. The layme,
OF the Central Illinois conference hav'
called q convention to meet at Cantor
September II, and the meeting vii
probably take action on this question
Another big lay convention will be he.'

The latest pull" engineered by a re-
publican state official is alleged to be a
scheme whereby State Supt. Crane lends
a hand to Harry L. Bras of Mitchell to
get subscribers for his South Dakota
Educator out Of the teachers of the state
at the rate of 81 per head. The law re
quires that applicants for teachers GER
tiicates shall be examined in their
knowledge of Current events" A
column or much less Of such miserably
gotten up stuff is run IN the educator
once a month and at the head Of this col
uun is this legend: Estate Superinten-
lent Crane has designated this depart
ment as the text book of current events
for applicants for county certificates.
Thequestion ia teachers examinations IN
current events are based upon the matter
found III this column" And. it is said.
the questions are rigidly based upon this
column of stuff whether worth the asking
or not. The poor school ma'am has to
come to tlne and get the Educator, no
matter how well read she may be from
other and better sources. 1t hardly
seems possible that a state official would
resort TO such small business, but it is
given out for a fact, and Mr.. Crane
ought to explain. He has his reputation
at stake, Mr.. Bras only money.

CAUSES CONNECTION
Bank Of highlands Action on Sill
yer Said to Have Startled
Europe,

LONDON, Sept. l3. The important
announcement made by The Times in
ali article from a special correspondent
to the effect that the directors Of the
Bank Of England have consented to
hold one.ifth of the bank reserve in
| silver, has caused much excitement on
the continent.
The governor Of the Bank Of England,
Albert George S~andemen, when ques.
toned on the subject, refused to con.
firm or deny the report. From other
Bank Of England officials, however, it
was learned chat the article was proba-
bly, a ''ballon d'essai" sent up at the in
stance Of the government in order to
ascertain the temper Of the people on
the subject before giving a fina. answer
to the United States monetary com.
mission, headed By Senator Edward 0.
Wolcott Of Colorado.
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting
upon the report referred to, says:
"This startling rumor Is such a bolt
from the blue that we would fain be-
lieve there must be some mistake.
Should the suggested action Of the bank
have substantial! foundation in fact. the
whole commercial world will immedi.
ately rise up in arms to protest against
so dangerous an innovation. Our con-
temporary darkly hints at pressure from
high quarters, and with equal mystery
suggests weighty affairs Of state as a
possible explanation for this sudden and
unexpected departure from the straight
and narrow path. But the business
community will not be satisfied with
any vague and unauthorized statements
of this kind and demands an official
pronouncement."

was necessary to see to store the fork

the lantern it created draft which
sucked the flame into the oil causing
the explosion. The burning oil fired
the hay like tinder and in an instant
the barn was sheet of flame. The
men in the NOW jumped to the floor

horses and running out the buggies
The fire dropping from the loft spread
on the hay IN the manger- and the
bedding and drove them out fur theiI
