at Buffalo. Prior to the election OF officers
the committee appointed to consider the
proposition for a closer union between the
Unitarian and Universals national bodies
reported in favor OF the appointment of a
committee Of FIVE, as requested by the Uni
tartan general conference to confer with a
similar committee from that denomination
concerning the plans for bringing about che
proposed union.
Rev Samuel A. Elliot, secretary Of the
American Unitarian association. urged the
convention to believe in the genuineness and
sincerity of the resolution asking for closer
co operation of the two bodies passed by
the Unitarian conference, as they expressed
the opinion OF no one sect, but the whole
convention.
Rev L. c. Sweetzer Of Philadelphia op-
posed the report OF the committee and Of
fered as a substitute a motion that the
whole matter be left with the Individual
churches. The sub motion was defeated by a
large majority.

PILING UP TESTIMONY.
Nothing But Praise From
All Sources.
Stands High in the Estimation of
Those Who Have Tested
Its Merits.

There Is no doubt whatever as to the
merits Of Morrow's Kid-ne- oids judging
from the good results obtained right here
In Omaha. Morrow's Kid -oids are used
daily by many Omaha citizens and they alr
testify without any hesitancy about the
great good they have received by the use
OF this great kidney preparation. Kid-ne-
oids will positively cure kidney backache,
dizziness, sleeplessness. nervousness and all
urinary disorders arising from disordered
condition of the kidneys. Another citizen
adds testimony, as follows:
Mr.. w. r. Ellington, 220S South 10th
street, says: For four or five years have
suffered from kidney troubles, also with
swelling of the feet and limbs, and they
would pain me SO / could scarcely get any
sleep. Hearing about the wonderful cures
Morrow's Kid-ne- ods had affected, 1 de-
cided to try them. l took them according
to directions and in few days the pains all
left me and the swelling disappeared from
my feet and limbs"
Morrow's Kid-ne- oids are not pills, but
Yellow Tablets, and sell at fifty cents box
at all druggists and by the Myers Dillon
Drug Co. Mailed on receipt OF price. Man.

CANADA ASKS FOR A HARBOR
Willing to ooncede About Everything Else
in Alaskan Dispute,
IMPORTANT STRING To ARBITRATION
willing to Give Up Part of Gold
Country In Return for Access
to the Open Sen-Conccdcs
Several Points.

LONDON, oct 24.-The Associated Press
is enabled to give authoritatively Canada's
final proposition for permanent settlement
OF the Alaska dispute. 1t is very different
from the former demands and was delivered
to United States Ambassador Choate by the
Canadian minister OF marine and fisheries,
Sir Louis Henry Davies late the night be-
fore the latter sailed and dispatched today
to Washington by the officials of the United
States embassy. 1t is as follows
THAT the boundary line be arbitrated
upon terms similar to those proposed by the
United States and Great Britain over
Venezuela, particularly those provisions
making fifty years occupancy by either side
conclusive evidence Of title, occupancy OF
less than that period to be taken as equity
allows under international law.
THAT as condition precedent to and
absolutely preliminary to arbitration, Skag-
way and Taiya would be conceded to the
United States without further claim If Can
ada receives Pyramid harbor'
In other words, Canada gives up much Of
the disputed gold country in return for q
seaport, but stipulates that it must get the
latter before 1t agrees to arbitrate the
boundary line.

SUNDAY SHAVING ON TRIAL
Case of the State Against silvers Called in
Judge Maoy's Court
GOES UP ON APPEAL FROM AYLEswoRTH
Evidence is Taken and the Case
Given TO the Jury-Al1 Interested
Agree to Abide by the
Decision.

The case of the state against F. e. silvers,
the Pearl street barber, charged with violat-
ing the Sunday law by plying his trade
on the Sabbath, was tried before a jury and
Judge Macy In the district court yesterday.
The case is one Of a large number Of a
similar nature brought by the BARRIERS Pro-
tective association TO enforce the closing
of barber shops on Sundays. Slvers was
convicted In police court and fined 81 and
costs and the trial yesterday was on ap-
peal from Judge Aylesworth's decision.
The case was appealed for the purpose OF
making a test and 1t Is understood the bar
bers who have heretofore kept open on Sun
days will abide by the result
The defense made was that shaving on
Sunday was a work of necessity and a num-
ber Of witnesses were placed on the stand
in support OF this contention. One of the
witnesses was DR.. George Smith, manager
OF the Grand hotel, and he testified that II
the barber shop in his hotel was compelled
to be closed on Sundays many of his patrons
would go elsewhere and the business OF his
house would be materially damaged.
Judge Macy, in his charge to the jury,
while he did not say so in so many words
implied that it was practically necessity
keep open on Sundays. At the same time
he said this point had no connection with
the case at bar, as the defendants shop was
not situated in hotel. The case was giver
| to the jury shortly after o'clock.
| The jury failed to reach verdict at 6
| late hour last night.

War Expenses, However, Expected to
Put Surplus Into Circulation

War Expenses, However, Expected to
Put Surplus Into Circulation.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-At the cabinet
meeting today the most important topic dis
cussed was the condition of the treasury in
its relation to the stringency of the money
market. Nothing will be done at present
to relieve the situation, as it is believed
that in the natural course of events the
heavy war expenditures will reduce the
large surplus in the treasury.
The cabinet decided today to allow vessels
purchased by American citizens to engage
in Philippine inter-island trade. Under the
laws of the United States foreign vessels
cannot engage in coastwise trade, and as all
the trading vessels in the Philippines flew
the Spanish flag, much embarrassment re-
suited. Many of these vessels have now
passed into American hands and the sec.
retary of war will shortly issue an order
permitting them to fly the American fag
and enjoy all the privileges of American
register.
Information was placed before the cabinet
showing that about 300 negroes employed
by government contractors at Key West
had been thrown out of their jobs by tho
yellow fever at that point and that many
of them were in destitute circumstances
owing to the suspension of work. The con.
tractors will be notified that they must re-
sumo operations at least to the extent oi
employing these men.

Order by january 1.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Oct. 24.-(Special Tel
egram )-General Superintendent A. w. Sui
livan of the Illinois Central railroad, a num-
the evening in Sioux City, said in regard
to the Fort Dodge & Omaha line that it
would be completed and in operation by
January l. He knew that contractors had
said it would be a physical mpossiblity to
complete the road this year, but all things
considered he thought remarkably fast con-
structon work had been done.
"Only twenty more miles CT rail are to be
laid and that will be put down in short
order" he said. 1.-The bridge work is a
little behind, but that too will be hurried
along. All the material is on the ground and
the builders are now engaged in stringing
the girders. Work acroes the low, marshy
tract between Wall Lake and Carnarvon
proceeds slowly and with some difficulty"
AS only the old lines are inspected the
train will not go over the completed por-
ton of the Fort Dodge G. Omaha. From
Sioux City the train will go to Cherokee
and then to Onawa and then back to Cher
okee and east
According to a report just completed by
City Auditor Keefe during the first six
months of the present fiscal year the city
debt was reduced by $S6.3 and interest to
the amount of $44, ,052 has been paid, besides
operating expenses. The city's running ex-
penses are now $4,000 a month, as COM
pared with $4,000 at one time in the city's
history. The present administration has
received praise for its management OF the
citys finances.

How IL was Decided.

The threatened famine in in iron one
has started interest IA exploring again,
aud many interesting tales OF the palmy
days Of 1889 30 are brought out ia con
nection with different promising prop
critics. Here IL one Adolph Lustiield

LustGcld, jay Gilbert and Thos. Bail
secured IAN option ON the fiat between
the Youngstown and Monitor mines to
explore for iron ote. They had spent
considerab Il money without getting any
encouragement and were in a quaudcry
as to whether they should continue work
or throw up the sponge" One sunday
afternoon Messrs Justified aud Gilbert
strolled out To the location for the put-
pose OF deciding this question. The spot
was promising one, 80 promising in
iact that, as much as they wanted 70
quit, their confidence in making a

that they put down pit that afternoon
in one particularly promising spot,
hoping that the revelations made by
this pit would help them 60 decide.
Coats aud vests were stripped, shovcls
secured and the two started 10 sink the

TROUBLE IN THE COUNCIL.
Members Disagree over a Proposition TO Pay
for Temple Building Dirt.


A typical "hot time in the old town"
was on the boards at the council rooms
last Monday evening All the room was
a stage and all the members were play
ers. Ii all occurred over proposition
TO pay for the dirt which was excavated
from the Temple building cellar last
summer and spread upon the different
streets Of the village The Council
agreed at the time ia pay for the haul
ing OF the dirt upon the condition that
il was placed at their direction
on the public streets. A general howl
was heard at the time and the orders
were not drawn, that part being held in
abayance until the meeting last Monday
evening. Councilmen Nelson and Dunn
were dire opponents OF the measure and
they fought the proposition, az long as
they could hold their ground. When
they found that they were in tile minor
ity, they quietly cucased themselves in
their overcoats and caps and left
the room, peace reigning therein the
rema inder OF the evening The clerk WAS
instructed Ia draw the orders for the
dirt in question.
Next morning Hon 4. G. Cook came
up from Iron Mountain, at the request
81 a. Lustiield, and steps were taken to
euioin the orders. The mat,erwill go TO
the courts Co be decided
