whether the conference was justified
in suspending DIR. Brown from MEN,
bership on the strength Of the finding
of the San Francisco council that tried
him for immortality in April. 1895,
reached unanimous conclusion at q
late hour last night. The terms Of the
finding have notyet been made known,
but the purport of them Is complete
victory for Dr. Brown. The finding
begins with complete and emphatic
exoneration Of DR.. Brown from
the charge Of misconduct, which
was tried and declared not
proved by the previous council.
1t then proceeds to pass on to the
action Of the Bay conference, and con-
dennis it. A test motion was made TO
approve Of its action, and on informal
vote 1t was voted down by majority
Of two. The council then adopted a
compromise resolution, giving the con-
ference sort of technical approval
But the council then advised the Bay
conference to desist from any further
persecution of DR.. Brown, referring to
its protests addressed to the Dubuque
and Chicago associations against ad-
hitting DR.. Brown to membership In
these bodies.

The Enterprise journal has started
a movement for county tester OF

various creamery companies in the

Der butterfat shows wide divergence.
The range in price paid runs from Is
to 20 cents at the different points.
For September White City paid 10

it would look as though some of them
were not paying as much as Others
The facts of the case are each pays ac-
cording to its own test and naturally
the tests differ enough to make this
differencelin the'price. THERE'S some
talk Of a vote among the patrons Of
the creameries in this county on this
matter 1t would prove of benefit to
them besides the satisfaction of know
ing the exact amount received in pro-
portion to other creameries.

THAT NEW GAS.
Abilene Enthusiasts Will Probably
Trv II.

Several businessmen Of Abilene are
contemplating local trial Of the new
lighting process with acetylene gas.
A company has just been organized
at Topeka with Dell Keller, business
manager of the Capital, as president
which owns the right for Kansas. 1t
is said that the experiments with
acetylyne gas in Topeka during the
past month demonstrated beyond any
question that it produces first class
light with far less expense than the
ordinary gas.
Interested in this company is J. J..
McCune Of Indianapolis. who has
patented the Indiana generator which
it is claimed solves the difficulty
which has prevented successful devel-
opment of this enterprise for many
years. This generator will be used
by the Kansas company. Its merit
is such that the Pullman Palace Car
company paid 100000 for the right to
use it in lighting its cars. The Kan
sas company paid $4,000 for the
right to control the business in Kan
sas and it is claimed by the directors
that they will reduce the price of gas
in Topeka from $l.65 to S3a cents per
thousand. A fine new residence and
large restaurant in that city will be
lighted with it at once.

VALUE OF HOME INDUSTRIES.
What Patronage Of Home lnstitu-
tions Means.

Almost every day may be seen on
our streets peddlers, traders, agents
Of all kinds, shades and colors and
nationalities, some Of them carrying
a whole establishment with them,
soliciting orders, impugning and beg
cling for orders. To all such people
our citizens ought to turn deaf ear.
The women Of our homes ought to
forbid them to enter their houses,
business men, mechanics or what not
ought to refuse to give them an order
Of any kind. They are frauds. You
have no guarantee from them that is
worth anything. They carry shoddy
goods. After selling by sample and
then sending the article made from
another piece, you have no redress,
while OF the other hand our own
merchants are responsible-will
make good any mistake that should
unintentionally occur. They are
our heaviest taxpayers contributors
and supporters Of all Of our Christian
and benevolent institutions, and II it
were not for them we would not be
enjoying the advantage of well or
dered and equipped little city. There
is no possible excuse for our people
trading with these footpads. The
Abilene merchants will duplicate any
order that has been taken of any kind,
quality, style or manufacture for less
money. The city council should be
asked to pass an ordinance placing a
license upon these peregrinating fakirs
who pretend or intimate that their
goods were Struggled OIL that they
were brought into the country before
the tariff law went into etfect-a IL
cense equal and proportionate to the
tax paid by our merchants-one that
would cover rent, taxes, etc. Mean
time bring in your orders to the home
stores and get them duplicated II you
think you are buying cheaper than
from your home merchants.

burly members thereof insisted that
he drink from their pocket flask. y
He refused and they grew angry and
carried him to the door of the car,
threatening to throw him out with
the train going at 80 mile an hour
clip. He never winked, though to be
thrown meant death. A train man
saw his peril and knocked one of the
drunken gang down and rescued Mr..
Lyon. 1t was a little nearer death
than he had been before or wants to
