IOWA CONFERENCE.
Notes of the Great Gathering
at Mt. Pleasant.

At the session of the Iowa Annual
Conference of the NJ. E. church at
Mt. Pleasant an effort has been made
to start an endowment fund of $780,
600 for the Iowa Wesleyan University.
Up to Sunday evening $50, 500 had
been raised for that object. Bishop
McCabe not being able to preach on
Sunday, Rev. DIR. w. F. Mcdowell
of Denver filed his place. His sermon
was very able, and he held the vast
audience entranced until its close.
The inaugural ceremonies of DIR.
Blakeslee, the new president of the
university, were very interesting.
Among the speakers was Rev. DR..
Gates of Grinnell, who with his rare
wit and brilliant oratory, captured
the crowd. DIR. B. had laid upon the
desk when he made his inaugural
address quite a formidable bunch of
manuscript, from which he read his
discourse. He is from Rhode Island,
and DIR. Gates, facetiously referring
to the manuscript, said it was evil
dent the address was written since
DR.. B had left the East, as the state
of Rhode Island would not have been
big enough to hold it.
Ex-senator Harlan, who was able
to take part in the early meetings of
the conference, was taken seriously
i'll on Friday evening and was lying
critically i'll at last advices.
The arrangement for Mr.. Bam-
ford's transfer and exchange was
completed, and Rev. Mr.. Someville
will succeed him as pastor of the
Central NJ. E. church here.
Mt. Pleasant is a good town, but
away behind in improvements. They
have no brick paving, and but few
blocks of macadamized streets.
Their pavements are two inch planks
laid lengthwise, and they have prac-
tically no cement walks. Some of
the Oskaloosa people went to the
asylum, l suppose to see how 1t
would go, but the writer being
compos mentis did not visit that at
traction.
The next conference goes to Bloom
field, where Rev. T. B. Hughes is
experimenting the building of new
church, in which the conference will
be held next year. w.

Washington, Oct. "a dispatch from
Gen. Otis was received at the war de.
partment Monday morning giving al
account of his meeting with the insur
gent ENJOYS. Gen. Otis said the inter
view with AguiEaldo's representatives
indicated that the leaders were maneuy-
ering solely with view TO secure recog
milton Of the insurgent government. Al.
such overtuTes were rejected and tn,
ENJOYS were informed that the only
thing the United States would recog
nize was a white flag and the grounding
of arms. He also informed TIE envoy
that such capitulation on the part O.
the insurgents should come quickly. in
Jrderto avoid the consequences of ACTIVE
war, as the United States did not in
tend to permit any delay in the matter
The course of Gen. Otis is approved at
the war department.

from Gen. Otis over to the white house
for the presidents consideration.

COLUMBIA HANDICAPPED.
omcIaI Measurments Produce Fig
ures which Compel Her TO Give
Time Allowance.

New York, Oct. 3.-The yachts Co
lumbia and Shamrock were measured
at the navy yard Monday. Measurer
John Hyslop. of the New York Yacht
club. completed his work on the Co
lumbia in one hour and a half. Sir
Thomas Upton. Admiral Beresford and
the rest of the Upton party were pres
ent during the measurement of the
Columbia.
One of the greatest surprises for
yachtsmen since the arrival of the
Shamrock in these waters was the an
nouncement officially made al the New
York Yacht club Monday night that
the Columbia would have to allow the
Shamrock six and thirty-one one-hun-
dredths seconds on 30-mile course.
1t was generally supposed by yachts
men who have seen both yachts under
sail and in the dry dock that the Sham
rock. by reason of her greater sail
spread and apparently larger hull
would have to give the Columbia some
thing like a minute time allowance
over the 30-mile course which they are
to sail. 1t appears, however, that De
signer Fife, while giving the Shamrock
a larger sail plan than the Columbia
has at the same time so constructed her
hall as to give her great freeboard, less
displacement and consequently a short
er water line by almost two feet.
At seven o'clock Monday night two
of the regulation measurers' certiti.
Gates. one showing the Columbia's meas
urements, the other the Shamrock's
were posted on the bulletin board Oh
/ the New York Yacht clubs house. They

AWFUL RESULTS.
Estimated to Have Caused Loss
of 1,5OU Lives.

Constantinople, Oct. at is now es.
timated that 1850 persons persisted in
the earthquakes in Asia Minor, around
Adm. The first shock occurred at four
in the morning of September 20 and
lasted 40 seconds. The effects were APP
palling. Whole villages were complete
ly destroyed. The earthquake was felt
as far as Scio, Mitylene and Smyrna.
The latest advices from the stricken
area show that men, women and chill
dren were buried in the ruins of their
dwelling places before they realized
their danger. Numbers of bodies still!
lie beneath the debris. About 500 per.
sons were killed at Sarakeni and some
500 at Denizli, where three-fourths of
the buildings fell. There was proper
tionate loss of life in many of the small
er villages. The disturbance has not
yet subsidized, although its strength APP
pears to be spent. The shocks continue
almost daily, but with no great vio-
lence. The population is encamped in
the open. One consequence of the earth.
quake is the subsistence of the level of
the Adm district by two yards. Sui
phurous springs burst out in the valley
of Noander and the country between
Adm and Denizli became full of crew
ices, out of which rushed black, muddy
water with sufficient volume to wash
away flock of 1000 sheep.

weather was splendid and the citi-
zens of Pella understand how to en-
teItain the old soldiers, for which
the boys of the SD are more than
thankful. We did not learn the ex-
act number of the regiment present,
but about $50 of the boys, all looking
well. Most of them are getting grey,
but not go old as some OF the officers
would make US believe. Soldiers die
just like other people, but we don't
intend to cross the bridge until we
get to it. The talk that our colonel
gave us on dress parade was rather
calculated to put a damper on the
general good time the boys were
having. We look forward to many
more reunions and dress parades be-
fore we are mustered out. If some
OF the officers are getting TO old to
meet with us and conduct the parade
there are enough privates left who
have not forgotten how to conduct a
dresss parade, and perhaps some of
them could make quite talk with
out delivering a funeral sermon. We
hope in the future we will not have
to listen to our funerals, especially
at our reunion. We want something
to enthuse, something that will bring
wildly to our minds what happened
while we were soldiers.

by the chains of disease is the worse
form of slavery. George D. Williams,

that she could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric Bit
tiers, she is wonderfully improved and
able to do her own work" This SUI
preme remedy for female diseases quick
iy cures nervousness, sleeplessness, mel
