LETTER FROM DR.. HANSON.
Closing Of the Methodist Episcopal
Conference at Chicago.

CHICAGO, May ~, looU.
EDITOR TELEGNAM:-
The General Conference has adj
]ourned. 1t has accomplished much
important work. Equal ministerial
and lay representation, legalzed by
this conference, has been a success in
the removal Of the slime limit" was
thoroughly discussed and it was shown
that only three to five per cent of
the ministers remained the full limit
of five years in one pastorate, and it
was decided to remove the limit from
the small per cent affected by it. Pas
tors will be appointed annually as
heretofore, the only difference being
they can be appointed an unlimited
number of successive times to the same
charge at the discretion of the presid-
ing bishop.
Some papers have commented unfav-
orabIy upon the fact that it took sew
cnteen ballots to elect two bishops.
The utmost good feeling prevailed the
entire time. After fifteen ballots
DIR. j. II. Berry withdrew and his
friends with others decided the cleo
tion in favor of Drs. Moore and Ham
ilton on the second BALLOT thereafter,
each receiving over four sixths of the
entire vote. Missionary bishop, Rev.
DR.. Parker, is a native of Vermont.
The conservation of the two bishops
and two missionary bishops in the
auditorium at 3 O'Clock last Sunday
afternoon was an impressive service
witnessed by about 5000 persons.
So far as it can do so the General
Conference has made women eligible
to membership as delegates. 1t now
depends upon the annual conferences
to complete the action by their votes.
The various correctional societies
have been reorganized placing them
on a better business basis with one
responsible head, one exception being
made when a colored and white sccrc-
tary each were elected for the Freed
mans Aid and Southern Educational
society.
The deaconess movement is placed
under control of the board of bishops.
Although the subject of questionable
amuSementS was discussed at length,
no change in the diciplne was made.
No stronger position was ever taken
by any general conference on the sub
jet of temperance and prohibition.
"The1inexcusablc miscarriage of the
Anti -Canteen law" was condemned by
both the board of bishops and the
general conference, and an appeal
made to Congress to protect the sol
diers and soldiers honor from the
evils of the canteen saloon, described
as "greater than Spanish bullets or
tropic heat"
The action of this conference has
been characterized by conscientious
intelligent determination to do right
and it had no "bosSes" and was no re-
specter of persons. On Monday last
it promptly tabled two motions sue
ccssfully made by Richard Yates,
republican candidate for governor of
Illinois, and Gov. Shaw of Iowa, and
Immediately PASSED one made by Il
delegate of no special prominence. 1t
adjourned Tuesday, May 20, about
p. M, hoping it's labors may prove
beneficial and receive the approval of
the church at large.

THE TOWN owns IT
Deed TO the Wellington WaterwOrks Plant
Will be Accepted.
THE ELECTRIC LIGHT BONDS.
The Council Ratiiies Contract With the
Banks for Taking Them.

The city council Monday allowed
a bill for $4,000 for The Wellington
waterwOrks plant, and the money will
be paid over and the deed formally
accepted today. The money raised
by the bond issue is lying in Kansas
City bank, awaiting the cOnsumma-
tion Of the deal. No sooner had the
council disposed Of the waterworks
matter, when the contracts with the
Security State and Farmers bank for
taking the electric light bond issue
were ratified and resolution passed
binding the council to make a levy Of
10 mills for the sinking fund, to pay
of $4,000 Of the light bonds this year.
A consulting engineer will be EN-.
ployed to come to Wellington, and
make an estimate Of the cost Of the
electric light plant.
The contracts with the two banks
stipulate that the banks will
purchase at their face value $1,000 of
the electric light bond issue; and that
when the $1,000 so taken by the banks
is paid off by the city, the banks will
purchase $1,000 additional bonds each,
or so much of that amount as the city
may need. The ten mill levy will
raise little more than $4,000 this
year, By the arrangement with the
banks, the city will get $4,000 on the
bond issue by the first OF the year and
will have half of the amount paid of
by the time the electric light plant is
in operation. 1t is a sort Of pay.as-
you.go arrangement which issupreme-
ly satisfactory to the city as we'll as
the banks.
Should Judge HerriCk decide that
the electric light bond issue is illegal,
the contracts with the banks will be.
come void. The council will hold a
called meeting soou to agree on the
policy Of operating the water and
light plants under municipal owner

ion that the city had been paying
smallpox bills that the city was not
responsible for, and therefore the
county could not be held responsible,

Of fumigating places under quaran-
tine. Mr.. Haughey thought this
expense should properly be borne by
the person or persons under Quaran'

G. G. Montgomery Of the Santa Fe
secret service, says that he thinks be
has good case against Harper Zer-
fO0se, the man arrested for the mur-
der Of the Santa Fe operator at Win
held some months ago. The evidence
is necessarily circumstantial but Mr..
Montgomery says that he hopes to
show string Of circumstances re.
garding Zerfoose's movements which
will be sufficient to convict. he says
that he is quite sure that Zerfoose
was not the only man connected with
the murder, but that there were tw
Others, One OF these he thinks was
the man killed by the city marshal of
Caldwell while resisting arrest for
burglary committed at Anthony.
The other man, Mr.. Montgomery says,
is an old time counterfeiter, whom he
has been unable to locate. ZerfoOse,
says Mr.. Montgomery, is a very
smooth crook and took his arrest very
cOOlly. He did not evidence the
slightest emotion when told he was
arrested for murder, nor did he ask
where the crime was committed.

Boer Converted

The APPEAL takes pleasure in an
nouncing that Mr.. Boer, of the Elko
Independent, has been converted to
Christianity. Some weeks ago the
Salvation Army reached Elko and be-
gan the good work of regeneratipg it
At first Mr.. Boer came to scott but fin
ally remained to pray. Like Paul of
Tarsus, he saw great light and in a
few days was carrying the uplifted
flag of salvation in the parade.
The conversion of Mr.. Boer reflects
great credit on the industry and Chris
tianising powers of the Salvation Army
They have done a great work in
ElkO and now when so hardened a sim
ner as Boer has capitulated, the con-
quest of the lesser lights of iniQuity in
Elko will be comparatively short.
When you once get the boss OF bad
gang licked the rest is dead easy.
This great evangelical work OF re-
form has cast terror and CONSERVATION
| into the rest of the sinners Of that Sec
ton and they have intimated that they
are ready to surrender without any
further fighting. If you can down

| lightweights trying to even put up our

Mr.. Beers Christianity is now of the
real practical kind. He has declined a
thousand invitations to drink since he
signed the roll, he refuses to buy a lot
terry ticket, has quit smoking, chew
ing and dancing and if pretty woman
passes the window-and Elko is full of
them-Boer doesn't even lift his eyes
from the paper. Reforms of this kind
in man deserve more than a passing
mention. In his editorial columns he
is polite and agreeable to his political
ad versaries and Chesterfeldian grace
has taken the place in the Independent
of the old hammer and tongs mud
throwing that once was characteristic
of it. We trust the time will come

come under the influence of the saving
graces. Good people, you might DROP
