weight with it. Said he Friday, in Ind

MANY GREET BRYAN.
TWELVE HUNDRED PEOPLE AT
THE DEPOT TO SEE THE
GREAT LEADER.
Mr.. Bryan Passed Through Plymouth To-
day on His Way to FIT. Wayne and Ad-
dressed 200 People for Five Minutes
PlymOuth's Committee Met Him at
Donaldson.

Twelve hundred people were at the
Pennsylvania depot yesterday to
greet the great leader of the democracy.
A number of democrats went to Don
aldson on the 9:l7 passenger and met
Mr.. Bryan there, returning with him to
Plymouth on the 1903 train. The stop
in Plymouth was for only five minutes,
but Mr.. Bryan occupied every moment
in discussing the question before the
people for settlement. He said that
he was satisfied with the splendid vote
given him by Marshall county in 1896,
and that if it will do as well this time
he will not need to speak again IN
Plymouth. Regarding the trusts, he
stated that the Republican party could
do something to prevent the orgsnizs-
tion of trusts If it would, but that it is
doing absolutely nothing. He said that
the republicans are bossting of won
derful prosperity and that they point to
the fact that we are losnlng money in
the old country as evidence of our
prosperity. Says he, it is very evident
that capital finds better investments
| over there than here, and ss long as
capital is not encouraged to remain
here, he was satisfied that the prosper
ity claims are not we'll grounded He
said that he is not willing TO have q
military governor in the United States,
and not being willing to be so ruled
himself, he is opposed to exercising a
similar authority over others. He men
toned the increase of the army from
25,0O0 to 100000 men and emphasized
his opposition to militsrism and imper-
ialism.
Mr.. Bryan was greeted with cheers
and hundreds ran after the train to
shake hands with him.
DR.. Edison, of Bourbon, came over
and returned on the Bryan train.
A committee headed by Mr.. Bell, of
Ft. Wayne, came as far as Plymouth to
meet the Bryan train this morning.
Mr.. Bryan came from Chicago at
tended only by two reporters. He had
no special car.
Mr.. Brysn's reception was splendid
one considering that only two hours
notice was given that be would pass
through here.
The labOring men OF Plymouth were
at the depot to greet Mr. Bryan this
morning and they demonstrated genu-
ine enthusiasm.

The sessions of the northwest Ind
lana M. E. conference, were quiet
and uneventful in many respects, but q
great deal of important business was
transacted. This conference covers the
entire northwestern quarter of the
state, and consists of something over
100 effective ministers.
Probably the matter of deepest inter-
est was the statistical summaries for
the year. Last year there was a de.
cline in membership. This year there
was net gain in probationers of eigh-
teen, and Of members fifty-four. The
total returns are: Members, 1861
probationers, 1.436. The gain is small,
but it indicates turn in the tide.
In the matter of the great church be-
nevolences, there is an encouraging
total gain Of S2,9O7. But individual
items are less cheering. The offerings
for missions were S15,697, q decrease
over last year of 1898. The Offering for
conference claimants was S3,724, an in
crease of S25l. For Observation-Disclosures
University the returns are 1856, 700, q
decrease of S77. The total benevolent
collection for all the churches for the
year was S39,338 There was q notable
gain on the part of the Woman's Foreign
Missionary society of Sl,549 over last
year, and of S54O by the Woman's Home
Missionary society. The two gave S9,-
o2l, or nearly one-fourth of the total
offering.
The present value of the church prop.
erty of the conference is S1,O56. 752.
There was paid on old indebtedness
$50, ,424, and on buildings and improve
ments SoS,944. The total collections for
pastoral support were SlO6, ,S79, withS14,-
SlS for house rent, making an average
salary of little over 500. Deficiencies
on salaries amounted to S2,6S5, or q
little over per cent. The dellcit last
year was greater.
Much interest was taken by the con-
ference in the case of the Rev. f. A.
Schell, ID. d., formerly general secretary
of the Epworth League, who was forced
to resign early in the year because of
controversy over the business affairs Of
the league. He was finally left without
appointment, and it is probable that he
never Intended taking charge in the
conference. 1t is expected that he will
become pastor of an important church
in Omaha, Nebraska, IN the near
future,
