WELLMAN NOTES.
BY SAwDUST.

Frequent showers and heavy thun-
ders Sunday, which make the crops
look very refreshing.
DR.. Ed. Cowart has returned and re-
sumed his position. We were very
glad to see his smiling face again and
received him very gladly, but we hated
to part with DR.. Longino very much.
We would have been glad if they could
both have stayed. We wish him sue
cess wherever he goes.
The people of Wellman have pur-
chased an organ for the church and
Sunday School, and we are due our
young committee great credit for col
lecting the funds to pay for the organ.
They are hustlers, anyway.
Our market has been crowded with
water melons, peaches and apples.
We selected number of officers to
attend to the Sabbath School business
last Sunday morning Their names
are as follows; Miss Gertie Scutt, Or
ganist; Miss BETTE McGraw, Assist
ant Miss Maggie Ryals, Secretary
Miss Florence Furlow, Treasurer.

Thank you, Bro. Jeems, for your
compliment. You can't expect supe-
rior quality of wind from Bro. Sawdust

that's right; look for the superior if

Denied Bail Again.

Aaron Lotion, charged with the muir
der of Kirby Smith, had hearing be-
fore Chancellor Conn at Brookhaven
last Monday on writ of habeas cor
pus. A large number of witnesses were
present, and also a big crowd of inter
ested spectators, principally friends
and neighbors of Lotion and the dead
man. The State was represented by
Thos. Brady, Esq, and the defense by
Hon. \. G. McNair.
After patient hearing of all the
testimony introduced and lengthy ar
guments by counsel, Chancellor Conn
decided that, in the light of the evil
dence, Lotion was not entitled to bail
and he was again remanded to Jail. a
part of Lotions own testimony was
very damaging to his cause.

WAR ON DEPARTMENT STORES.
An Attack Made on Them In the Omaha
Ministerial Union.

OMAHA. Nov. 15.-The fight against depart
ment stores came up at a meeting Of tho
Omaha Ministerial Union to-day. All the
leading ministers OF the city were
present. Messrs. Cowles and Beard and
Major Wilcox represented the Committee
on Department Stores from tho Retailers
Association and addressed tho union. They
spoke Of department stores as not following
straight business methods and cited several in.
stances in which they said advertisements were
deceiving. Mr.. Beard. however. appealed to the
union principally on the moral side Of the ques.
ton, asserting that at the low rate OF wages
paid. the girl clerks were driven to selling their
virtue TO make q livelihood.
The girl working at his house had told his
daughter she would be afraid to apply for work
at n department store. because q friend of hers
who did so told the proprietor that she could
not live on the wages offered. and was told by
him that such O pretty girl could easily get
some young man to help support her.
The Rev. S. Wright Butler came to the defence
of the department stores, and said he could not
listen to the vilifcation OF such mon as con-
Quoted department stores in Omaha AS to tho
charge Of selling virtue. his hearers should
remember there is n young man In Cali
fornia under sentence of death who
was not the proprietor of q department store,
but n leader In the church. DR.. Butler objected
! on general principles to having such topics In
troduced into the Ministerial Union, as they
were more of q business nature than religious.
The committee deferred action.

BASIS OF Il SEAL AGREEMENT.
The Experts Agree That rciagic Sealing IL Do.
stroying the Herds.

btEoJihb II AhtEub-
WASHINGTON. Nov. l5.-The seal experts Of
tho United States. Great Britain. and Canada
came to an agreement at their morning session
that pelagic sealing was responsible for the di.
minution OF the seal herds. This has been the con.
tention of the United States from the beginning.
After this understanding had been reached tho
experts, at a second session extending late into
tho afternoon, and at which Sir Wilfrid Lau.
rier, Sir Lewis Davies, and John w. Foster were
present as advisors. endeavored to formulate
some plan mutually acceptable for putting an
end to the practice. They did not get further
than the consideration OF a proposition cma-
mating from the American experts to stop
pelagic sealing for one year.
Tomorrow Gen. Foster, Sir Wilfrid, and Sir
Lewis will have a conference in the hope of for
mulating a report to the Governments or the
United States and Great Britain, containing
common recommendations. which may be used
as q basis of a treaty between the two coun-
tries. Gen. Foster has plenipotentiary powers
and can sign an agreement, but the Canadian
Ministers have not. and will be obliged TO content
themselves with merely submitting their views
to the imperial authorities. The Canadians ara
not favorably impressed with the proposition Of
the American experts to prohibit pclagic sealing
for n year or any other period. II they change
their minds In tn t respect 1t will be a notable
victory for the representatives of the United
Stats.
That the present conference will not result in
an ending for all time OF the differences between
the United States, Great Britain. and Canada
on the sealing question was indicated by the
action of the conferces in deciding to send
experts to Bchring Sea next season. All
three parties to the present conference will
send agents. Mr.. Clarke, the Secretary Of the
conference. will represent the United States.
These experts will make an examination of the
condition of the herds and report to their re-
s~pective Governments as to whether the seals
have diminished or increased and the probable
causes Of 1t. The decision TO send experts
shows that another conference to consider their
reports is contemplated. Opinion differs as 10
whether the conference Of the past week has
furnished any solution OF tho scaling coatro-
yersy. but a majority of the persons interested
are inclined to believe that the whole thing has
resulted in failure.

Il MUSTANG HOLDS UP TRAINS.

A mustang running down the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company's elevated track in Jersey
City about z O'Clock last evening attracted q big
crowd and held up several trains. Passing
trains excited him. Every time one came along
he halted for an instant. looked at the putting

The tracks are elevated about fifteen feet
above the level Of the street from Waldo avenue
to Henderson street. The roadway is planked
from Waldo avenue to Henderson street. Some
men have boon at work recently renewing the
planking at the Newark avenue crossing, which
is a short distance beyond the solid enbank.

When tho mustang ran on to the crossing he
fell into the opening made by the removal OF the
old planking. The iron girders kept him from
falling into tho street, and he was suspended
over the street pluuging and kicking. A crowd
collected. and at least 1900 people watched his
struggles.
