DR.. Lines Statement.

When seen today in regard to his
letter, DR.. Line said: 81 wrote the
letter, but made no secret of it at the
time. 1 told several members of the
church of it, and, in fact, consulted
with one of the prominent members
before writing it..On Monday, fifteen
minutes after 1 received the telegram
informing me of the change, I Motif
ed G. P. Cooper, secretary of the
board, telling him of the coming
change, and asking him to call meet
ing of the board for tonight. made
no secret of it, and Mr.. Cooper was at
liberty to have told anyone"
DR.. Line states that the correspond
ence in regard to his removal to the
Indiana conference began two months
before he wrote the letter to Elder
Sweet, and says that this letter or it's
effects have had nothing to do with
his going away. His letter was sent
in answer to one Of Feb. 10th, written
to him by Presiding Elder Sweet, of
the Salina district, in which the ell.
der gave an unfavorable account of
DR. Cleveland's pastorate and closed
by saying: please give me faith
full statement of the facts as you
have learned them there. "Dr. Lines
letter was a private one to the elder,
and not intended to be made public,
but it was laid before the board at
Salina. and DIR. Cleveland took
COPY of it. Then the trouble began.
Dr. Line states that he has no rea-
son to believe that Elder Sweet does
not desire to have, the Salina pasto-
rate back when his term as elder is
over. Rev. Sweet was formerly pas
tor there and taught in the college.

The Publication Created Sensation, as
Not Even the Entire Board Knew
of Its Existence. - .,

The publication by the Free fress
yesterday of the letter which DIR. =.
E, Line, late pastor of the Methodist
church, wrote to Presiding Elder
Sweet, of Kansas, concerning DR.. ID.
A. Cleveland, former pastor of the NJ.
E. church of this city, created ABOUT
as much surprise in this city as the
publication of the famous DeLome
letter did in Spanish and American
circles. In speaking of the matter
today, a prominent member OF the
Methodist church official board said:
1.-THE letter came as surprise to
almost every member of the church,
as only half a dozen members of'the Of
fetal board knew of it's existence. Most
of the members of the board knew
nothing about it. 1t was our inten-
tion to have kept the letter a secret
until DR.. Lines year was out, when a
change would undoubtedly have &C.
Cured in the pastorate, and perhaps
asmall sized volcano would have gone
into eruption. have read the copy
of the letter, and the Free Press
could have truthfully painted it much
stronger than it did"
Another member of the board said
this morning: "The few who knew
Of this letter agreed last night to sup
press it forever, and we concluded to
visit the newspaper offices this morn
ing and request that no reference be
made to IL. When 1 got home, my
wife read me the account OF the
letter in the paper, and you may
imagine my surprise"
The members of the board will
meet tsnight to wind up the material
relations of the church with the
pastor. The spiritual relations have
already been dissolved, and DR.. Line
is no longer in the Mankato con
ference.
Said prominent Methodist today
"As a member of the church board,
shall say, officially, that the reason
for DR.. Lines departure is his desire
to be nearer to his invalid sister
As to the inference that might sug
gest itself that the letter is at the
bottom of his leaving, I cannot
say. Presiding Elder stafford die
not know that change in pastors
had been made until yesterday, the
matter having been settled between
the two bishops. Much surprise has
been expressed that DR.. Line did not
previously acquaint his church, or at
least the officers, with his proposed
change, which was ordered at his own
request. No one in Mankato knew
of it until DR.. Driver arrived and an
nounced the change. DR.. Driver had
supposed that everyone in MankatC
knew of it, and was much surprised
to find the facts existing as they
were. DR.. Line states that he in.
tended to make the matter public at
the meeting which. he had summoned
for tonight"
We learn that Presiding Elder
Stafford received copy of the letter
regarding DR.. Cleveland while on his
California trip, and that he expressed
much Indignation at the time.

Cleveland preached brilliant ser
mon, in which reference was made to
the trouble that had arisen.
The gentleman states that there
seemed to be a strife as to whether
DR.. Cleveland or Elder Sweet should
be the pastor for the coming year.
There were threats that If DR..
Cleveland was not retained there
would be break in the church.
Mr.. Olmsted, the Martin county
man, failed to furnish Blue Earth
county bond on his Mcpherson and
Medic ditch contract, and returned
home. Mr.. Tidland, the next lowest
bidder, did not want the contract, so
it was awarded to J. F. Mahoney, of
Mcpherson, at his bid of seven cents
a cubic yard. Mr.. Olmsted's bid was
five cents. The cost will still be con-
siderably below the estimate.
