METHOOlSTS ADJOURN.
Effort to Censure Mckinley Fails.
Amusement QucstiOn Unchanged.

CHICAGO, May 29.-With three bust
ness sessions yesterday the quadrennial
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, which for a month past has been
sitting here considering great questions
affecting the welfare of that denomina.
tion, practically came TO close. The
actual adjournment did not take place
until today, but this session was little
more than a formalty, and many Of the
delegates left for their homes last night
Much important business was trans
acted, including the settlement of two
of the most interesting questions brought
before the conference.-the reports of the
committee on temperance and the COM
mittee on the state of the church in re-
gard to the ban on card playing, theatei
going, dancing and other amuscments.
A strong political color was given the
discussion on the temperance question
by the bitter arraignment of President
Mckinley because of his attitude on the
anticanteen law, but after some decided
ly warm debate the conference refused tc
criticse the attitude of the chief magis
trate by striking out by an overwhelming
vote all reference to any action or
his part or that of Attorney General
Griggs. The minority report ON amuse
ments, accepted Saturday, was, to the
surprise of many, laid on the table which
action leaves the paragraph in the book
of discipline the same as before the Ques
ton was considered.

the yield will reach 100,OO0O 900 bushels
or anywhere near it," said State Grain
Inspector A. Il. Mckenzie. "The largest
crop the state ever raised was 50, ,0UO, ,O0C
bushels. | believe that we will raise 80,
100000 bushels this year. | have been

The Census and Persons Who are Away
From Home During June.

The count Of the people in the
United States will begin in all parts of
the country June I, and end IN the
cities two weeks later and in the rest
of the country before the close of the
month. The people are 10 be count.
ed at their places of resi- lence, but as
many persons and families will be
away from their homes during June
there is some danger that such per-
sons will not be counted. If they are
not counted, the locality in which
they live will be misr epresen,ed to
that extent, and in some cases this
misrepresentation may be enough to
affect representation IN congress Of
the state from which they come.
Local pride and state pride, therefor,
should influence all such absentees to
take reasonable precautions against
being omitted from enumeration in
their places OF residence. Such omls-
sions are most likely TO occur in the
large cities where families close their
homes and go elsewhere for the sum-
mer. In all cases of contemplated
absence the head of the family is re-
quested by the census Office to COM
municate with the supervisor of the
district in which he lives. He is also
requested to leave information regard
ing his answers to the questions which
are to be asked with some reasonable
nelghbor who will agree to see that it
reaches the enumerator on his rounds.
Such information might better be left
as memorandum in writing, as in
that case it is less likely to be over
looked. The questions to which an
swers are desired apply primarily to
the population, but also to all farms
and manufacturing establishments. By
taking this trouble the absent citizen
will do justice to his locality and his
state, and materially aid the census
Office in the performance its duties.

ing of Rohrsburg, his was highly ap-
preciated. Rev. Phillips gave short

received by his hearers. The pastor

giving only part of what is really his.
A good collection again was given,
The entire collection of morning and
afternoon amounted to $Io5.5o. The
people all went home declaring the
effort great success.

as a club to defeat Senator Morgan's
resolution to take up the Nicaragua

against taking up the latter bill will
not be allowed to be forgotten during

hypocrisy of the republicans who pre-
tend to favor that bill. 1t could have
been passed in an hour had the re-
