Sores and Ulcers never become chronic unless the blood is in poor condition is sluggish, weak and unable to throw of the polsons that accumulate in it.

Des Moines Conference Will in
Future Embrace Old Territory.
FAVOR LONG TERM FOR ELDERS
Presiding Bishop Rules That the APP
pontment of Minister to Certain
Conference is Equal to a Transfer
in That Jurisdiction.

Charlton, Sept. 13.-The Des Moines
conference of the M. f. church held it's
second days meeting here on Thurs
day. The conference opened by Pen
tecostal services led by Rev. w. M.
Dudley after which the conference
business was transacted. The con-
ference had already passed resolu-
lions of sympathy for President Nc
Kinley and his wife in the attempted
assassination of the President. 1t re-
fused to consider the question OF
change of conference boundaries as
proposed by the Iowa conference and
Thursday they passed resolutions in
favor of 6 years term for presiding
elders. They spent some time in
changing the personnel of the stand
ing committees and assistant secre-
taries and treasurers, hearing the re-
ports of presiding elders on the char
acter of the pastors under their care
and receiving their financial reports.
Motions were made and carried draw
ing on the several funds for certain
amounts of money the largest being
from the Preachers Aid society of
something over $1,000. Several min
listers were excused from further at
tendance at the conference. Some
transfers were made and here develop
ed the most important part of the SEES
sion, being ruling by the presiding
bishop that the appointment of min
lister to a certain conference equaled
a transfer to that conference. Here
tofore it has been the custom that
when a minister was appointed from
one conference to a charge in anoth.
er and before he could finally enter
the new conference, he must be ritual
ly transferred. But the bishops ruling
has done away with the formality OF
transfer. More subscriptions were
received to the daily paper, "The Des
Moines Daily Conference" being pub
| lished by the conference again this
year, after discontinuance for one
or two years. Thirty minutes of time
Friday morning were given Chas. Shell

ence and special committee was ap

Bloomfield.

Bloomfield, Sept. 14--(Special.) -
The Davis county fair opened on Tues
day with as many entries in all the de-
partments as there were last year.
The fair on Wednesday was given up
on account of the heavy rain which
began falling Tuesday evening and
continued all day Wednesday. The
public schools dismissed mat day as it
had been the day assigned to the chill
dren and the little people were sadly
disappointed. Thursday was practi-
cally the second day and the attend
ance was good although the weather
was disagreeable as it was cloudy and
high wind was blowing. The old
soldiers We're all out, however, and
the gate receipts amounted to $500.
Friday was really the best day as the
weather was fine and there was no
dust which was novelty. The art
hall presented much the same appear
ance as last season, all departments

ed in that line. The finest display
was really better than that of last

bit, was equal to that of former years
in both quantity and quality, the crop
having been an average one through
out the county. The new poultry
house, which has just been completed
is a great addition to the grounds and
permits a double entry over that OF
previous seasons. The building is 24z

coops. There are at present ATS birds
altogether and there are 400 chickens
not counting ducks, geese, turkeys
and pigeons. The exhibit in this line
is said to be as good as that of the
state fair. The Golden Rod farm be

Moral of the Machinists' Strike.

(From Gunton's Magazine for Sep
tember.)
The demand of the machinists for
the same pay under the 50 as under
the 81 and 60-hour systems was rea-
sonable, warranted by all the circum-
stances of the case, and in all proba-
bility it would have been conceded if
the machinists had not unnecessarily
forced the issue at an impractical
point. By this fatal step, a substan-
tial reduction of the hours of labor
from ten to nine hours a day, which
had been accomplished in two por-
lions of half an hour a day each, six
months apart, by peaceful arrange
ments, in full recognition Of the rights
of organization on both sides, is like
ly all to be lost. Labor unions should
bear in mind that it is no small part
of their duty to educate employers in
to the adoption of trade-union meth
DDS. In doing this they should be
ready to reason, persuade and meet
them more than half way. showing an
ever willingness to accept any modi-
| fications which do not sacrifice the
vital principle involved. Not to dc
this will frequently mean failure
where success nigh easily have been
assured, of which the present strike is
a painful illustration.

A NATION MoURNs.

In the death Saturday of William
Mckinley, President of the United
States, as the result of shots fired by
the assassin Leon Czolgosz, one week
previous, while the President was hold
ing public reception on the grounds
of the Pan-American exposition at Buff
falo, New York, this country has suf-
fered the greatest affiiction which
could fall upon it short of a civil war.
Friday, September 6, the President
having responded to an invitation to
attend the exposition, delivered an adj
dress, expressing with great force and
beauty the supremacy of the victories
of peace over those of war and in
rarely feiicitous language voicing the
hope that the nations of the earth
! might dwell together in unity, was
about to close his visit by meeting
the people at a public reception as has
been his wont on many occasions. On
his way to the reception, friend ex-
pressed to him the thought that meet
ing so many people might make unus-
ual demands upon his strength. He
replied that the people had ever been
kind to him and it was pleasure to
meet with them, and he found great
satisfaction in their expressions of
confidence and esteem.
With these sentiments on his lips
ut a time when the country was in
profound peace, when prosperity
sbounded upon all hands, when his
worth and ability and gentle kindness
had endeared him, it was believed, tc
all his countrymen, without warning
be was stricken from the fullness Of
health beyond the portals of death it
self. Such an attack upon such mar
under such circumstances, in coun
try like ours, seems almost impossible
The fact that Mr.. Mckinley had liv
ed for a week after sustaining hi!
cruel injuries and was seemingly grad
ually improving and gaining strength
gladdened the hearts of eighty millions
OF people; in fact some were heard II
express themselves as believing tina
