 Ville

Question of a New Pastor in Plain vile.
 Plainville, Feb. 22.-The special meet ing of the members of the Plainville
 Congregational church will be held in the church lecture room Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock sharp. The meeting will be of special importance to every rnem- Der, as several matters of vital import ance are to be considered. The fnan- cial condition for the ensuing year will be discussed and an effort will be made to place the church finances on a more solid basis than ever.
 There are many members in the church who feel that a new pastor should be installed. The exit of Rev. the church without a regular pastor, but since that time some very capable clergymen have occupied the pulpit. The members are anxious to install a pastor whose interests will be for the upbuilding of the church and congrega- tion. The question of salary will first have to be decided upon and then e man can be secured whose services will prove of value to the church Rev. J. E. Herman received $1,200 Der year and the use of the parsonage A new pastor will very probably receive st 900 per year, as it is believed that tie diff ference of $500 per annum in the salary would be more than overbalanced by the services of a capable man.

At the conclusion of the reading of
the result Of the first ballot considera-
ton of the report Of the committee on
state Of the church was taken up but
discussion of the organic law was in
terrupted when on a question OF priv
iege an indignant minister denounced
the police for refusing him admission
to the conference without his ticket
After a warm discussion a resolution
was passed that the police remain at the
doors During the discussion it was
charged that delegates had given away
their tickets Of admission to friends
Considerable confusion followed and the
conference finally. settled down to the
law.
Judge Oliver Horton of Chicago, Gre
ated considerable excitement by de-
nouncing delegates and bishops for
croWding the auditorium with relatives
and friends. DR.. A. B. Leonard declared
that the policemen at the doors were
tWo-thirds full Of lager beer but was
greeted with a storm of cries sit down
and finally gave way.
Considerable time was consumed in
the taking of the ballot for general
superintendents. After the morning re-
cess the conference listened to short
farewell addresses by DR.. Thomas Allen,
fraternal delegate from the Irish Metho-
dist conference, both of whom returned
home today. Bishop GoodseH responded
to the speeches of the visitors who were
warmly greeted. Report No. ?, of the
book committee, involving the further
existence of the Northern Christian Ad-
vocate was then taken up

of the east Ohio conference stated thai
the Northern Christian Advocate ha6
fallen behind over $4,000 and the tOta
expense to the book concern of losing

amounted 10 S10S 600. He strongly fav

The combined opposition in the Re
publican state convention on the first
round today knocked the anti-boss
league out. and Dick Blue, the anti
boss league selection for temporary
chairman, nominated Sias Porter, for
the place.
This action on the part Of Col. Blue
was a surprise. but when he nominated
himself for permanent chairman, the
delegates We're speechless.
Did Blue nominate himself for
permanent chairman was the question
murmured throughout the convention
When it was made clear that Blue had
done this the convention was a buzz Of
excitement.
Nothing like this has ever before been
witnessed in a convention Of any pOlit-
ical party ia Kansas.
When the delegates started to the
convention hail. it was generally be-
lieved that there would be a contest on
the organization. A delay in calling the
convention to order was explained by
the statement that another caucus was
on
This was unexpected and the rumor
was at once started that the antis had

In nominating Porter Mr.. Blue said:

ADVISED TO QUIT
London, May 16-The most important
development in today's war news IS the
statement cabled from Cape Town an
nouncing that the BOer delegates had ad-
y1sed the Fransvaalers to surrender II
defeated at the Naal- This remarkable an
nouncement is vouched for on good auth
orlty and evidently obtains more credence
IN cape Town than would mere rumor.
The occupation of Glencoe was merely a
logical sequence of General Buffers ad-
vance and the Beers retiring movement
As usual the Beers are reported to be
flying precipitately. but also usual.
the accounts add that their transport and
guns were removed in safety. which in
itself, IS a contradiction of any statement
that the Beers were panic stricken.

that the conditions there are unchanged
