MISS HlNSEY SELECTED.
ottumwa Woman Honored by Iowa
State Epworth Leauue,


Des Moines, Oct 29.-Miss Louise
ed as one of the vice presidents of the
Iowa State Epworth League, the late
convention of the society having ad-
journed Saturday. Upon recommends
tion OF the committee on constitution
the Iowa State Epworth League con-
yention this morning refused to
change from annual to biennial state
conventions. Five questions were re-
ferred to the committee on constitu-
ton, of which number the biennial
convention was the most Important
and most perpleXing. For some time
there has been a growing feeling
among Epworth League workers in the
state that the state conferences or con-
yentions should be held every two
years instead of annually The feel
ing has never assumed anything like
tangible form until this year, when it
was referred to the committee on con-
stitution. That body understood the
difficulty of making a recommendation
without first ascertaining the opinions
OF as many delegates as possible, or
as Prof. Thomas Nicholson, chairman
of the committee, remarked in prefac-
ing the reading Of the report upon this
question, to prevent acrimonious dis
cussion which has characterized and
marred the work of former conyen-
tions.'
Election of Officers.
Immediately after the report of the
committee on constitution and its
adoption, the report of the nominating
committee was heard and adopted
without objection. The following are
the officers elected for the ensuing
year:
President-Fred L. Montgomery, of
Fayette
Secretary-C. B. Roberts, of Adel.
Treasurer-George l. Hoffman, Of
Des Moines.
Junior Superintendent Susie
A. Mills, of Marshalltown.
Vice presidents-Professor Charles
Eldred Shelton, of Indianola; Rev. H.
w. Troy, of New Hampton; Miss LOU
ise Hinsey, of Ottumwa, and Rev.
George Whitfield, of Burt.
The selection of a place for the next
meeting will be left to the new cabinet.
which is composed of the above off.
GERS. 1t is practically conceded that
the convention will go to the Iowa con-
ference, or to the southern part of the
state. No cities have been mentioned
In connection with the convention and
no invitations have yet been received.
Des Moines will not be candidate for
next years convention.

KAUMAKAPILI
Sketch of a Prominent
Landmark.
Brief History Of the Large Pipe Or
gan--The Double Towers and
Chime of Bells,

The burning of the Kaumakapili
Church is much to be regretted. With
its two steeples, occupying an elevated
position. it was a prominent landmark.
The fine structure was dedicated for
public worship in 1883. Before it was
finished the congregation worshiped in
the basement. The late King Kala-
kaua had much to do with the build
ing of the church. He used 10 attend
the church meetings in the basement,
and on one occasion made a long and
interesting address, in the course of
which he said that as a human being
had two eyes, two ears, two hands, and
two limbs, so the new church must
have two towers, and his suggestions
were carried out.
At the church dedication services the
late DR.. Hyde offered the opening
prayer, Rev. II. II. Parker the dedica-
ton prayer Hon. Henry WaterhOuse
delivered an address. and the late DR..

| ton. No one will regret more the loss
I of Kaumakapili Church than Mrs. B.
/ F. Dillingham;, who is away in the
/ States.
The large pipe organ destroyed was
| the finest in the Islands. 1t was built
| by Messrs. Bevington & Sons, of Lon
don. from the design and specifications
made by Wray Taylor, who superin-
] tended it's erection in the church wher
: it arrived, the early part Of 1888. Be
fore it was sent out it was played or
in the factory by DR.. Bridge, organis
of Westminster Abbey, who pro
nounced it an exceedingly fine instru
ment. The late Queen Kapiolani, whC
was in England at the time, heard DR.
Bridge play on it. Ii had two rows o
KEYS. twenty-five draw stops, fOu
couplers and two octaves of carlton!
on Il separate manual worked by pneu
matte action. Its cost was $4,000.
On April Z, 1888, Wray Taylor pub
licly exhibited the instrument with
recital i'm the presence of large ant
aDpreciative audience. Ever since thel
he has had the entire control of tn
organ; and, for four years, has actet
as organist in conjunction with hi
other duties at st. Andrews Cathedral
During these twelve years the orgal
has never cost the church anything 70
repairs. so careful was Mr.. Taylo
about keeping it in order. a larg
number of organ recitals and concert
have been given in KaumakapiI
Church. and many singers have mad
their debuts at these entertainments.
The chime of bells, eight in number
were in the Waikiki tower, whic
first caught fire. They came from Troy
y. Y, and were obtained through tn
firm of Z. o. Hall & Son. For som
reason or another, the chime was new
er a complete success, not being quit
in tune. For this reason Mr.. Taylo
could not on many occasions be pei
} suaded to ring them. The pulpit wa
made of native kou and kOa, being
very fine piece of work. The churc
was fitted with folding Opera-hous
seats, and was probably the most com

ARREST NEAR FOR
MURDERER OF GOEBEL.
Detectives Have Written Evi-
dence From Men Who
Saw the Shooting.
NAMES GUARDED CAREFULLY.

Frankfort Ky, Feb.29.-It was
stated tonight by those in charge
Of the Goebel assassination case that
sufficient evidence has been secured
to prove one OF the most dlabohcai
eonspiracies in the history OF the
country. The detectives have run
down nearly all the clews, and have
located their man preparatory to
making arrest. Nearly all the wit
nesses have given written statements
which are backed by circumstantlai
evidence.
The detectives are trying hard to
keep their work a secret, but through
other sources bits OF the information
are gradually coming to light. A
prominent Lawrenceburg citizen says
that man employed in the Execu-
. tive building was there shortly after
the assassination, and told him and
several others he was in the main OF
fce of secretary of state when the
shot was fired. He said he saw Goe-
! bel fall, and then the door to the Sec
fetary of states office was opened
and several men were seen in there

others with the mountaineer did like
wise. He has given the mans name
to the proper persons, and steps have
been taken to see that he does not
escape. He is now back in his noun
tain home.
1t is believed that the shots fired
by the men at the door were intended
only to attract attention to that
quarter, in order to protect the real
assassin.
Just after Senator Goebel was shot
the wife of q republican attorney
rushed up to two well-known Frank
fort ladies and young man and
said, between sobs:
Il hope you do not think my hus-
band had anything to do with this.
He advised against it.
This statement supported by three
witnesses, will result in the bringing
in of tile republican attorney as a
witness and he will be forced to tell
when, where and under what circum-
stances he advised against the assas-
sination.
There is no doubt of our ability to
prove the conspiracy" said one oi
the men. "We expect to run down a
few more points, but evenifwe should
be unsuccessful we already have
enough evidence to make a strong
| case
The grand jury will convene about
April 1, and then there will be a batch
OF indictments. Some of the arrests
may be made before that time. Col

nal lawyer, who has charge OF the
case, arrived here to-day with Mr.
