Northwestern Methodist Conference
The Northern Minnesota Methodist
conference in session at Hutchinson
decided to meet next year in Mime
apoliS. Rev. D. L. Wilson and Capt.
Morrison, Of Company G, Fifteenth
Minnesota volunteers, were granted
supernumerary privileges. A motion
prevailed that Rev. L. w. Ray, who
had trouble at St. Cloud, be permitted
to withdraw. The board Of examina-
ton reported on students, and it was
voted to change the representation in
the general conference to one layman
to every forty-ive preachers. Rev. r.
T.. Snyder of Little Falls was permit
ted to withdraw to join the Presbyte-
rians. A banquet was held in the
opera house at which DR.. Forbes,
Bishop Joyce, Mr.. McAdoo and Rev.
E. G. Clemens spoke. Mrs. B. S. Pot
ter spoke Oh the Woman's Home Mis-
sicnary society. Bishop Joyce an
nounced that there was due the con-
ference from the Church Publishing
house 5000 for the superannuated
preachers. All the effective elders
were passed il clara cter. A vote was
taken on the question Of equal lay and
ministerial representation in the gen
eral conference, and the conference
voted for the proposition by vote of
IS to 5. Bishop Joyce spoke on mis-

What
SNAKES IN PACIFIC ISLANDS.
Hawaii. Samoa and New Zealand En-
go tirely Free from Reptfles.

hawaii. Samoa and New Zealand En-
t1rely Free from Reptiles.
For the most part the Pacific islands
are destitute of snakes. That is abso-
lutely the case in Hawaii, In New
Zealand, equally free of these reptiles,
the only knowledge which the Maoris
mad OF snakes may be found in a le-
gend OF a monster called the taniwha,
concerning which the authorities differ
as to whether it is the ancestral and
dim recollection of snake or of an al
Hgator. All the eastern islands Of
Polynesia between these two outposts
are snakeless. Westward from Hawaii,
down among the Gilberts and the
Marshalls and the Carolines, the
sQuare-bodied water snake begins to
make its appearance in the lagoons and
harbors. By the time the PHILIPPINES
are reached the water snake becomes
both common and deadly and the
jungle of those islands are abundant
ly supplied with snakes. From the
PHILIPPINES as one follows down the
chains of islands snakes are found
both abundant and venomous. In the
wild lands of the western Pacific the
reptiles are frequently objects of wor-
ship, and in some legends are credited
with the creation of the world. Samoa
seems to lie just on the boundary line
of snakes in the Pacific. In the east
ern islands of the archipelago no
snakes are to be found; in Upolu a
few are seen at rare intervals. In Sa-
vail only few miles to the westward
they are common and attain great size,
in the case Of some kind at least. None
of them is venomous and the islanders
neither fear them nor exhibit any Of
that repugnance to their presence
which is commonly called instructive.
This Indifference to the reptiles is
made most markedly manifest at the
hamlet of Iva on the northeast coast
of Savaii. Here are to be found small
snakes of the most brilliant red color.
They are so common that basketful
may be easily picked up in any banana
patch. The dancing girls of this
town are in the habit Of employing
adornment in their dances. They tie
them about their necks, their ankles,
and their wrists, festoon them in their
headdresses, and tuck few extra ones
in their belt in readiness to replace
such as escape in the dance. At their
best these sivas danced by the Sa-
means are either dull or revolving
shows of savagery. It can be easily
imagined that they are made no more
attractive when the taupou or village
maid and her crew of attendant girls
go careering about with an assortment
Of writhing red snakes. Still the Sa-
means, who have no stock of snake
prejudices, look upon this as one of the
most successful and artistic dances in
their islands. r"

~ His Wife Die.
Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 19.-Mrs
John M. Stable died in this city from
the effects Of morphine administered
by her own hand. She took the poison
last Wednesday, but, the story of her
suicide did not leak out until yester-
day. Three weeks ago she was Jennie
Davis, living in the suburb of Chester
field, this city. Sept. % she was mar
ried to John NJ. Stable of Waterloo, a
private in the Fifty-second regiment in
camp here. 1t is reported that
lovers quarrel the middle Of last week
caused Mrs. Stable to threaten to leave
her husband. She started away, but
he persuaded her to return. The two
went to a hotel to spend the night.
Stable purchased the morphine, and
agreed with his wife to take equal
parts. Mrs. Stable took her half, but
her husband failed to take his and re-
turned to camp next day.

CHILL BLASTS OF WINTER
Southwest Experiences the Worst
early Winter Storm on Record.

Southwest Experiences the Worst
early Winter Storm on Record.
Kansas City, Oct. 10. The earliest
winter storm in the southwest in
twenty-five years and the wost early
storm on record, almost completely
shut Kansas City off from wire COM
munication with the South, the West
and the North yesterday. An opening
on the east alone kept the city from be-
ing totally isolated. Reports from va
r1ous points in Kansas and Missouri
Indicate that the storm has been quite
severe in those states. ~. = ,...
1T had been raining for the past
twenty-four hours. Shortly after mid
night the rain turned to snow and the
temperature dropped perceptibly.
Steadily since then heavy, wet snow,
driven by a strong north wind, at
points reaching the velocity of a gale,
has fallen. Hundreds Of telegraph and
telephone poles out in the open have
either been blown down by the strong
wind or broken by the weight of the
snoW-cOvered wires. At Paramount
Park, near Kansas City; at Leaven-
worth, Kan, where portions of the
Third and Fifth Missouri and Twenty
fist and Twenty-second Kansas regi-
lnents, respectively, are encamped,
many tents were blown down and the
soldiers made to suffer acutely. The
storm came up with great suddenness
and caught many unprepared. Numer-
GUS cases of suffering to man and
beast will doubtless be reported when
communication shall have been re-
sumed.

chicago, Oct. 19.-The University of
chicago conferred upon President Nc
kinley the degree Of doctor of laws.
Eight hundred people, as many as
could be damned into the Kent thea
Ter, applauded to the echo as Prof.
Harper placed around the shoulders of
the nations executive the hood of
purple, the insignia Of the degree.
The exercises at the university.
While hampered very much by the wet
weather, were still impressive in an
extraordinary degree. The president
spent the morning quietly, receiving
only those callers for whom appoint
ments had been previously made,
among them being Senator Fairbanks
or Indiana. Shortly before IL o'clock
ne left the residence Of Capt. Lafay-
cite McW1lllams, entered a carriage
ana was driven rapidly to the White
House of the university, the home of
president Harper Here luncheon was
served to the presidential party, the
faculty OF the college and a limited
number OF Invited guests, prominent
among whom were Archbishop Ireland
OF st. Paul, Rev. DR.. John Henry Bar
rows and Thomas B. Bryan.
A heavy rain set in at II o'clock and
continued during the rest Of the day.
Ihls 1nterferred materially with some
OF the elaborate arrangements made
by the university authorities for the
reception Of the president, but did not
seem to abate in any degree Mr.. Nc
kinley's good nature or his apprecia-
ton of the demonstration in his honor.
At 4 O'Clock he left the university
and was driven to the First regiment
armory where for some time he re-
ceived the public informally. Great
crowds of people thronged the streets,
clamoring for admission to the ar.
mory, and only a part succeeded in
meeting the president during the time
scheduled for the reception. In the
evening a dinner was rendered the
president at the Auditorium hotel by
President Harper of the university
Storm Plays Havoc.
The strong wind and rain storm that
Prevailed yesterday played havoc with
the peace jubilee arches and decora-
tons Six of the arches, the First regi-
ment arch at Van Buren, street and
Michigan avenue, the Dewey arch at
! Monroe and State streets, the Evans
arch at Clark and Adams streets, the
Miles arch at State and Adams streets,
and the Maine arch at Jackson boule-
ward and State and the Hobson arch
at Jackson boulevard and Dearborn
streets were blown down and badly
damaged. Three persons were struck
by pieces of wreckage and seriously
injured. Hundreds of flags and streams
Of bunting with which the downtown
buildings were decorated were torn
away by the wind. 1t is hardly proba-
BILE that the arches will be replaced.

attended, close to 100 delegates being
present. The reports Of the officers
were very encouraging. The total re-

This pays all the Indebtedness and
leaves a balance Of $2,699.76. Two be-

Winona. Two candidates for mission
airy work were presented, but one not
yet being Of age, will remain in school
for a time. The other is Miss Sarah
Ingraham Of Brighton, England. She
is very highly recommended, and was
unanimously accepted. She has lived
in India for a number Of years, her
father being a barrister there. She
will be sent as a deaconess to the In

on the subject Of shoes. One man held
that there was no sense in paying fan

shoes and buy them oftener. Another
claimed that he found it more econom-
