ALGER MUST RESIGN.
Official Ostracism of the Secretary
Begun In Washington.

New York, July 1.-THE Herald to-
day prints a Washington dispatch to the
effect that official Ostracism of Secre-
tary of War Alger has been begun as
a means of forcing him to resign, and
that it is evident that a crisis in the war
department is at hand. This inference
is taken from the fact that AIger was
not present, Saturday evening, at a con-
ference between Gov. Roosevelt, the
president; Attorney General Griggs,
Adjutant General COrbin and Secretary
Hay.
1t is asserted that as far as can be
learned Secretary Alger was not invited
to the conference. 1t is apparent, it is
declared, that he is having nothing
whatever to do with the organization
of the provisional army and it is fact
that the president has personally re-
Heved the secretary of practically all
duty in connection with the conduct of
the war in the BhiIinninas

FUNERAL GRAFTON
Over the Grave of Populism by SEN
ator Mcbride.

New York. July n.-George w. Mcbride.
United States senator from Oregon. on
Monday left the post graduate hospital.
where he had been for five weeks, recOV-
ering from the effects of a painful and
delicate operation.
.'Populism is dead in Oregon" he said,
land is rapidly dying out in other parts
of the west You can say that Oregon
can safely be counted in the Republican
column for some time to come, at least.
The Populists gave us a hard tussle in
1896. but we beat them and have been
gaining ground ever since
'Au my information from my state is
that the rank and file of the Democratic
party is almost unanimous for William J.
Bryan. In my opinion there is little or
no doubt of his denomination"

METHODIST PARSONAGE.
First NJ. E. Church Will Erect One at
at Once.

A fine new parsonage will be erected
by the First Methodist church this fall
and it will cost about $4,000. The Of
fetal board of the church met Monday
evening and heard the report Of the
special committee appointed to canvass
the matter and by a unanimous vote
adopted the report favoring an immed-
late erection Of a handsome residence
for the pastors family.
The old stone parsonage arjOining the
church on the west will in all probable
ity be the site of a new Groom modern
frame residence.
The committee consisting of P. I.
BOnebrake w. NJ. Forbes and J. P.
Davis which has had the preliminary
matters in charge was continued and
Mr.. J. p. GriswOld and Mr.. JOab Null
vane were added to it as members.
The board will meet in special session
next Monday evening when the details
will be fully decided on.
A few of the members think that a
suitable residence might be purchased
but at the meeting last night expressed
will of the majority. The membership
is a unit in thinking that a parsonage
should be provided at once.
The church is in an excellent fnan-
cial condition, having paid off all it's
debts at the close of DR.. Embree's pas
torate
During the last ten years the pastors
of the church have been living in rented
houses, but now that the church is in a
prosperous condition it is thought that
funds can easily be secured to go ahead
and put up a suitable residence.
As soon as the location and the
amount to be expended are definitely set
tied an architect will be employed and
the work pushed as rapidly as possible.
DR.. McFarland's family is now at the
seashOre and it is hoped that the build
ing will be we'll under way before their
return to Topeka in September.
