AS TO SECRET SOCIETIES
lutheran CONFERENCE HAS AN
ANIMATED DISCUSSION.

One of the most keenly debated ques-
tions at the Lutheran conference JUST
held at Saltwater was that pertaining
to the ban, which it has. been attempted
to place on members of the denomination
belonging to secret societies. One OF the
ministers returning from the gathering
who was seen last night relative to the
matter said:
'.,rhe deadly monotonous secret society
question has been nightmare for many
wears in the conference and it seems
that some of the ministers and laymen
could not believe it possible to nave
conference meeting unless more or less
time were spent=on this subject. 1t has
begun to be chronic with some of our
members"
but how about the resolution passed
at Cambridge last year; did not that try
to solve the question them"
tHThe resolution passed at that meeting
speaks for itself and is plain enough for
anybody to understand. 1t simply asked
the synod. the highest tribunal, to either
enforce the rules against secret societies
or repeal them. When the conference
undertook to explain this decision OF
the former meeting it went into rather
late post mortem examination and en-
tirely outside of it's jurisdiction. 1t had,
of course, power to react upon the de-
cision but not the power to say the in
lCenJlOn was contrary W lie C1CoSI WIN
ing in which it was couched. The reso-
luton adopted at the meeting in Cam
bridge was in due course transmitted to
the synod at it's meeting IN Burlington,
Ie., last summer. 1t came up for action
and a motion to enforce the constitution
al provision against secret society mem
bers of the church was quickly tabled,
which shows the disposition of the
synod. Then a motion was made to ap-
inf a n revise
ing paragraphs, which motion prevailed.
This committee viii report at the next
meeting of the synod, which Will be held
iii Jamestown, N. Y, next June. Such is
the story of that Cambridge resolution,
which the conference undertook to re-
pudiate.
What do you suppose the synod viii
dor"
'9Fhat I don't know, but / expect, and
have good reason to do so, that the
synod will give the subject a fair and
iuH consideration. 1t is d grave ques-
tien and those who call for a revision of
our present laws in this respect are
entitled to due consideration"

WINDOW BLOCK Is GjTIED
MINNEAPOLIS VISITED WITH A
$4,000 FIRE LAST
NIGHT
DEPARTMENT HANDICAPPED
First There Was Delay in Turning
in Alarm, Then Water Power
Suddenly FaiIed-FIames
Gained Roadway.

The old Window block, erected by the
former Secretary OF the Treasury Will
liam Window in tho early sos, was
completely Quilted by fire last evening.
Tho fourth story of the addition at the
rear was badly burned, also that por-
ton of the building occupied by the
Warwick hotel on Washington avenue
These three portions of the building are
separated by heavy fire walls. but The
fire was carried from the old part to
the others through the roof The loss
could not be estimated by Fire Marshal
Hill last evening" as much depends upon
the condition OF the walls. 1t is believed
thai they are intact and can be used in
rebuilding the structure. In this case
the total loss will not exceed $4,000.
The fire started in the rear of the
saloon of J. Cohen 20G Washington ave-
hue south Mr.. Cohen and an employe,
Louis Beroveslki, noticed considerable
smoke, and upon investigating found
that some rubbish in a rear room was
burning. They rushed out On the street
and a paSser-by volunteered to turn in
the alarm from box NO 10, which is
across the street. This man, however,
only turned the handle to the door, and
hearing the signal bell on the inside
ring, concluded that the alarm had been
properly turned in, and the people who
commenced to gather, wondered what
was the matter with the department
Because Of the ignorance of the man
who thought he turned in the alarm,
nearly five minutes were lost. Special
OfIicer John Schroeder turned the alarm
in properly. Then after work on the
fire had been commenced, the water
power failed
It can be safely said that it was not
until twenty minutes after the alarm
ha6 been turned in that the fire depart
meIt was giving the fire proper atten-
tien
The most sensational feature of the
fire was the position assumed during the
early stage by Pfpeman John Barrel, OF
truck No l. A ladder was raised TO the
roof on Washington avenue and with
line he and two others made their way
to the top. They had been at work but
a few minutes when the flames COM
menced to lick viciously through the
windows, but afew feet from Barrett.
He held his own, but the hundreds of
people gathered below expected every
second to see him overcome by the heat
and dashed to the pavement below. Bar
rett only retreateds a feW rounds and
then turned the hose on the flames that
were shooting through the windows.
The three men remained In their posi-
ton a long time, and only retired when
1t was recognized that it was reckless
to try and fight the fire from this posi-
ton. s't '3st'

No attempt was made by Mrs. Nation
to control the advertising space. and
whisky advertisements filed several

Mrs. Nation rounded out her first day
in Peoria by lecture at Rouss' hall,
after which she visited several of the
leading saloons of the city.
The first place visited was that kept
by P. A. Weast. She collared the pro-
prietor at once and demanded that he re-
move a large oil painting entitled
"Nymphs and satyr"
Weast promised to remove It and she
went to the variety theater next door.
Here she Witnessed an act and then
mounting the stage delivered a red-hot
address.
After addressing a large audience at
the Auditorium theater she retired for
the night Tomorrow she will visit the
distilleries. While In the Weast resort,
she received a telegram informing her
that the Texas legislature had passed
a resolution asking her to visit the capt.
tai of that state.

MINI. WINS FIRST PRIZE
KANSAS MUST RETURN IT'S BAN
NER TO THE NORTH STAR
STATE.
ERROR MADE IN FIGURING
State Seems to Have Taken Pretty
Nearly Everything In Sight
at Recent Buttermak-
ers' Convention.


Minnesota won out at the buttermak-
ers' convention-not KANSAS
This news will make every buttermak-
er in the state feel like shaking hands
with himself and dancing a cakewalk.
1t is astounding in view of the fact that
Minnesota had 262 entries and Kansas
had only 20. With a small number of
entries it is easy to maintain high
average, for only the best butter natur-
ally Is picked and the larger the num-
Der of entries the harder 1t is to be a
top-notcher. J. S. Moody, of the Min
nesota Butter and Cheese company, yes
terday afternoon received the following
telegram from EIgin, ILL.,:
minnesota score, 1886; wins banner;
inform White at once.
"(Signed) e. Sudendorf Secretary"
The Mr.. White referred to is B. u.
White, of the dairy and food commits
sioners department. The entries and
scores of the various states now stand as
follows:

stakes gold medals), the silver medals.
the banner and large share of the
pro rata money, which means the major
portion of $1,000. The silk banner is
worth 500.
The state had slight advantage in that
it did not have to carry it's butter any
distance but this was more than counter
balanced by the number of entries. so it
can be safely assumed that the state
won on its merits.
The dairymen who heard the good news
last night were greatly astonished and
could not account for the mistake that
had been made Mr. White, in speaking
of the matter said that the only assump-
ton which could be drawn was that
mistake had been made in figuring and
Minnesota had not been given her just
dues However that may be, everything
is now rectified and the state stands
second to none in the Union as far as
buttermaking Is concerned.

said Yesterday morning that both he ana
Mr.. Penney were still undecided about
arguing the motion for new trial or

The defense can. hone to base a motion
for new trial only on new evidence. So

to grant such motion.
In the meantime Hamilton is making

in the cell in the county Jail, which has
been his living quarters for three months.
His location has not been changed, nor
has there been any disposition to make
his confinement close since his conviction.
