sTEPNEY AND VICINITY.
AT THE METHODIST CHURCH.

The last quarterly conference Of the
fiscal year for the Stepney and Long
Hill Methodist churches was held at the
Methodist parsonage on Tuesday after
noon. The venerable presiding elder
DR. Beach, was present to take charge OF
the deliberations. Considering the act
that Rev Mr. Warmer has been incapaci-
taEed for his work by sickness almost all
of the year, yet both churches were re-
ported as having done we'll under the CIR
cumssances, by the Elder, and the finan-
cial status OF both churches was very
gratifying. The only officers elected
were the stewards of the churches. For
the Stepney church Birdsey Sherman is
the recording steward, G. B. Wheeler
district steward, and his associates are
Wilbur French, Leroy Sherman, Everett
Sherman, e. B. Booth, John Burritt, G..
W. Curtis and Edgar Northrop. For the
Long Hill church G. e Radcliffe record
ling and district steward, and his associ.
ates are j, Ell. Williams, r.. o Beers, Mrs
r. S. Shelton, Mrs Granville Dunning,
Mrs Frank Sherman, Mrs Charles Hall
and Mrs Charles Radcliffe. The elder
stated that the prospects were that the
two parishes would be continued as one
charge and minister be appointed for

was reported as some better, yet he
would not attempt the duties of pas

day it is expected that new pastor will

The Editors Familiar Chat.

Thanks to CongrC 3man Hill, once
more we are the recipients of government
bounty. in the form of a supply of govern
ment seeds. Every member of THE BEE
force has been remembered in the distri-
button, so the newspaper gardens may
be expected to bloom in big turnips, rad
ishes, cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce.
We have always thought this govern
ment free seed distribution was hum
bug and think so still. We doubt if even
the genial congressman of the fourth dis.
trict approves of it. Indirectly it in
lures the seed business Of the country
and confers no great benefit upon thu
farmers. This is the opinion of the lead
ing agricultural papers. There is abou
as much sci Sc in having free seeds a
there would be in having free hats, FIRE,
shoes or free newspapers. lent thi

sion Of the Legislature:

Walter Costigan, the well-known
populist editor, asks Gov. Leedy ques-
ton which will strike every body as

peka platform are SO near and dear to

Especial session of the legislature this

if these principles are such grand
things why run the chance of an ad-
verse election? Why not make them

chance for sometime.

doesn't intend to carry out the pledges

ABOUT TINE.

The time has come for the leaders
of the Democratic party to call a
halt. This fusion or surrender bust
ness has about destroyed our party.
When We remember former days in
our State conventions everything was
harmonious in the conventions. The
party would come five or six hundred
strong to the conventions from all
parts of the State to renew their
allegiance to Democratic principles.
Now we have nothing but strife and
confusion. We say to our leaders,
let this miserable fusion business
stop and we Will once mere have a
united Democracy in our State, fight
ing for Democratic principles.-W.
F. Petition in Dodge City Democrat.
The Democrat hoists the name Of
Jerry Simpson for congress and the
fusion county ticket, leaving the
fusion, or Pop State ticket, among
the invisible things. Mr.. Petition is
not in sympathy with the State move
ment of fusion, but certain local cir
cumstances give him consent to sup
port the fusion county ticket. This
is for the ''pie" there is in it, or in
prospect. After all, we must admire
