THE MARGIN TOO SMALL

Your committee feel bound To say that
this narrow margin upon which We are
moving Is now entirely unjustifabe. Last
year your committee said: We doubt
not that the growth Of the Church and
the return OF a normal condition of
prosperity in the country viii eventually
increase the contingent fund 80 as To
give a reserve which is highly desirable.
This reasonable expectation has been dis
appointed. The Church has grown. and
certainly a normal condition Of prosperity
in the country has returned. but We find
that the collection from the contingent
fund FOR the prosperous year of 1888 Is
only SIS more than I'm the year 1861.
when the country was in a state of dis
tress and prOstraton. Your committee
are obliged TO say that they do not think
this unfortunate condition Is due TO the
members OF the Church. They believe
that II the rectOrs warned their congre
cations of the necessity of this contin-
gent fund. and IL the treasurers were
more diligent in collecting IT, we would
not be lowering upon the border line Of
an absolute deficiency"
After calling attention 10 the fact that
1T Is the duty OF each congregation to
remit 10 the treasurer for the contingent
fund a sum equal 10 the number of COM
municants in that church or as near the
amount az they can possibly collect" the
committee concludes: There are more
than IL 600 communicates reported I'm the
diocese. and IL IN apparent from the con-
tingent fund returned that more than 25
per cent. Of the amount due IL unpaid
While there are many communicates to
whom the payment OF 81 would be Sc
rious tax. there are others by whom n
much larger sum would not be felt and
to such persons the parish should pro-
perly look TO supplement- any deficiency.
Your committee believe from what they
know and hear that the poorer members
OF the Church are more free and willing
for their means In contributing to this
fund than the wealthy"

recommending the dissolution of the
Brotherhood which was practically dead

OVER RIPARIAN RIGHT
Missouri and Nebraska boundary Line
is the Cause of IL Continued
Contest.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March 4.-(Spe-
cial REORGANIZATION county, Missouri.
and Nemaha county, Nebraska, have been
quarreling for thirty years over the possess
sion of a tract of land known as McCissock's
Island that came into existence in 1867
through a break of the Missouri river. This
island is now on the Missouri side of the
river, but Nebraska still claims it. The
land that was never overlooked belongs to
Nebraska according to the laws governing
riparian rights. but who controls the old
channel is the question. The old riverbed
grows the biggest corn in the country and is
counted as the best of farm lands. Both
counties have fought over the taxes on this
land and both have had trouble with GRIM
mails who hide there. To settle these
problems Representative Hall has intro
duced a bill to appropriate $ 5000 to pay the
expenses OF a suit in the federal courts TO
settle the boundary line question for all
time. Missouri had a similar dispute with
Iowa several years ago and lost it in the
federal courts.

SENATORIAL SITUATION BECOMES QUIET
Men Close Ia Thompson Assert that
lie HAS Withdrawn in Earnest
Senator's Allen and Thurs
ton Expected.

LINCOLN, March 4-CSpecial Telegram)
The senatorial situation today is in statu
quo. The reason is that nearly all, loEis-
lators and workers, have deserted the city
for over Sunday, and the headquarters OF
the different candidates have been tempo
rarily closed.
Viewing the events of yesterday and last
night from the standpoint Of today, IT is APP
parent that the opposition to Hayward is
just as firmly united as it was before Thomp-
son withdrew, the force being purposely
scattered among the candidates last night
with the plan of finally combining them on
some candidate whose exact identity is not
yet disclosed. The story that Mr.. Thomp-
son and his hackers are at a disagreement
as to who is to be supported is not generally
believed.
Just as little belief is put in the story that
MIR. Thompson's withdrawal is for the time
only and that he will reappear in the lists
after the forces have become scattered.
Men who are close to Thompson, and who
ought to know, insist that he has withdrawn
in earnest, and while he may continue to
WELD an influence over his supporters, he
will not allow them to vote for him fur
Their.
Some little talk has been occasioned by
the expectation that Senators Thurston and
Allen would be here the first of the week.
Opinion IS divided as to the possible effect
their personal influence would have on the
already complicated situation. Those who
have expressed themselves, however, pro-
TESS to believe that Senator Thurston will
not care to take a hand in. the fight, but
will pursue the policy of leaving the cleo
ton of his colleague to the free choice of
his party as represented through the men it
elected to the legislature.

DEATH RECORD.
Chief of Creek Indians.

MUSKOGEE, l. T., March At is re-
ported here that IsparheCher, principal chief
of the Creek Indians, is dead at Okmulgee,
capital of the Creek nation. The rumor can
not be verified. Okmulgee is quarantined
on account Of smallpox, which is epidemic
there. Isparhecher is a full-blooded Creek
Indian and for four years has been the prin-
cipal chief of his people. Ever since he
became a leader among the Creeks, Ispar-
hecher has fought all legislation tending
to change the tribal conditions in the ter
ritory and only recently he was practically
forced into giving his consent to the ne
gotiation of the treaty between his people
and the Dawes CONN ission. The sterling
honesty and the indomitable will of the
aged chief made him much respected, both
among Indians and whites.
