CONFERENCE NOTES.

Methodist Meeting.

Jottinqs in Connection with the Great
Methodist Meeting.
The general conference of the Afrl-
can Methodist Episcopal Church, now
in session in Chicago, has brought to
light some facts bearing upon the de-
velopment and aspiration Of the Afro
American that have more than a pass
ing interest. The church maintains
thirteen bishops, eleven general Off
GERS, 254 presiding elders, 1882 annual
conference preachers, 1877 local
preachers and a total membership on
the western hemisphere and in Africa
of 1921 ,O6O; 81 ,046tS58 is spent annu-
ally for ministerial support, and the
general expenses for 1903 reached the
sum of So, 632, $780, The educational
department maintains eight colleges
and universities, besides industrial
schools at Shelbyville, Tenn; Harris
burg, KY; Cape Town, South Africa,
and at MonroVia, West Africa. PROB
ably another interesting fact is the
effort to spread the work on the con-
tinent of Africa. This work was be-
gun some years ago by Bishop Henry
NJ. Turner. AS one of the results sew
eral native African delegates are sit
ting in the conference there. Many OF
the men in the conference are OF ma
tional repute. DR.. r. F. Hurley, one
of the leading candidates for the bish-
opric, is regarded as one OF the most
eloquent pulpit orators in the African
church. Dr. James M. Townsend. at
one time pastor of Quinn Chapel
Church in this city, is the only Afro
American ever elected to the Indiana
state legislature. He is also spoken of
for the bishOpriC. Professor w. s:
Scarborough and Professor III. T. Keat-
ing, prominent lay delegates, rank
among the great scholars of the coun-
try, irrespective of color. The con-
ference will continue through the next
two weeks.
The conference would show it's wis
dom by electing Rev. R. c.. Ransom,
D. D., pastor OF the Institutional
Church, this city, as editor of the
Christian Recorder. He would make
a good one. He is 43 years of age and
has been a member of the A. M. E.
church for % years and minister for
- years.
The members Of the conference are
having a general good time among the
hospitable citizens.
The conference has passed law
prohibiting members of the church
from attending. theaters, from dane
ing, from card playing and strongly
condemning whisky drinking and "can
rushing" among church members.
There is about as much '*log rolling"
among the members of the conference
in reference to the election of the va
riOus officers as there is in a political
convention.
One of the conference members
wishes to dispose of the "unlucky thir-
teen'' in number of the bishops, and
it is quite likely that the "hoodoo'
will be broken.
DR.. Booker T. Washington was a
visitor at the conference Monday. and
while he made no speech. was accord
ed an enthusiastic reception in the
lecture room of the church.

PREVENTION
A FEW SIMPLE RULES THAT
MINIMIZE TYPHOID
Disease Not So General as Many
Suppose-Shallow Wells
Cause of Most
Cases

There are 2S cases of typhoid
i'm Greeley at present, including
those at the city hospital, most of
whom are from the country.
The facts above are CLEANED from
a careful canvass of all the doctors
in Greeley, and are accurate. This
is not so bad as many have thought,
but it is bad enough. Multiply this
number by four, gives l12, the ap-
proximate number of cases that have
occurred in Greeley since July. A
few simple but important precautions
would result in reduction OF so per
cent in the number of typhoid cases
here.
First and foremost, fill up and
abandon every shallow we'll in town.
Scarcely case but can be traced TO
drinking water from a shallow we'll.
In few instances deep wells
have been contaminated through
defective tubing, which allows the
surface water to seep in. Next,
compel every lot owner who is within
reasonable distance of a sewer TO
connect, and as far as possible 90
away with privies and cesspools.
The priv vault communicating both
air and water, should be entirely
done away with just as fast as pos
sible. The town is largely severed
ALREADY and this work Will be con-
tinucd as fast as funds are aNaliable
but not much more than nan tie
| premises along the line OF completed
| sewers have ever been connected, so
! the benefit to the city is minlmlZed.
A strata of coarse gravel uhderlles
all of Greeley at a depth of from
two to eight feet. Every privy vault
of average depth reaches almost OF
! quite to this gravel. Every shaiio"
we'll rets its water supply through
this gravel bed. That's the sort OF
water many town people are using.
Is il any wonder that we have
typhoid? .,,
| Typhoid is a disease OF nun,
direct or indirect. Get rid oil the
COW stables, the flies, the rotten
vegetables. the cesspools and prlVies,
and do away with the shallow wells,
and typhoid cases will nearly all
disappear. Contrary to the genera
immersion, there is not nearly ST
much typhoid in the country about
| Greeley as in town. The reason lies
in the absence of many privy vaults
and consequent less contamination
of the drinking water.
The Greeley tribune., 1904-10-05
Are Deceiving.

Reports have come to this office
that political canvassers in the
county are informing voters of the
opposition party who may be ig-
norant of the elction law that they
1.-THE canvasesrs) can simply take
the voters name and have it regis
tered at the county clerks office.
People should pay no attention to
such statements whatever, as this
can not be done.
Everyone who wishes to be regis.
tered must be registered at the office
of the county clerk, in their OWL
handwriting, with two persons tc
vouch for him. Any deception or
the part of political workers, regard
less of party, in the matter of regis.
traton, is a contemplate piece OF
trickery and should not be tolerated
by the county organization of either
party.

JAPS DEMAND MEN.
Special to The Tribune.

Special t" The Tribune.
POSSIETTE BAY, Oct. 5.-The
Japanese minister at Seoul has de-
manded that every burrough furnish
contingent of forty to sixty men
for the new army now being organ
lied, and the emperor of Korea de-
signate someone to assume command.
The Japs, however, continue to
cruit men undera pretense of employ
ing them as coolies. They are said
to have recruited 800 men from Ping
Yang and fitted them with uniforms
and sent them to Korea, where they
were placed in the front row and
fastened to posts to prevent their
escape, and the Russians found only
one of them alive.

To Meet in Debate.

On his return to Denver from his
stumping tour through the San Juan
country next week Alva Adams will
likely issue Il challenge to Governor
Peabody for joint debate on the
issues of the campaign. The prop
osition will be, it is said, that the
debate be given in three of the larger
cities of the state. The democratic
state central committee is heartily
in favor of the proposition. The
question for debate will be: That
the administration of Governor Pea
body contrasts unfavorably with that
of Governor Adams.
1t is expected that Governor Pea
body will not accept the challenge,
as he will likely offer the excuse that
it would be undignitied for him as
chief executive to appear on the plat
form in a political campaign. In
this regard he will follow the policy
of President Roosevelt.

BOYS CAUGHT AGAIN
Same Pair That Made Greeley
Lively Arrested.

After having travelled from Lara
ME, Wyo., to Denver on the rods OF
a Union Pacific freight train, Rob-
ert Harrigin, aged IA, and CLYDE
Schetiield, aged II, were arrested at
Seventeenth and Market streets yes
terday afternoon while trying to beg
something to eat.
The boys ran away from home In
Laramie, desiring to see more OF the
world. They have seen it and ex-
perienced some hardships during
their sight seeing that they will not
soon forget.
Uarripan states that he has a
stepfther, Walter Boston, in Lara
mie. who conducts cattle ranch'
and Schetiield is the son OF Henry
Schet1ield, a carpenter. Both boys
saw they were we'll treated at home
and are desirous of returning thefe

Reds Defeat Eagles

The Greeley Reds defeated the
Eaton Eagles Sunday by score of ,
to 0. 1t was cracking good game
of ball, played to about a handful of
spectators.
The Reds are in bad way finan-
cially and it was hoped yesterday to
have pulled them out of about $135
debt hanging over them. But so far
as gate receipts were concerned the
whole thing was rank failure.
Next Sunday it is expected that a
benefit game will be played for Minot
j. Giddings, one of the best players
in the team, who is i'll with typhoid
fever, and whose wife died a week
ago from the same disease.

AS to Frost.

No killing frost yet, up to October
3. Last year and the year before,
vegetation was dead by September IL.
This year verities the prediction of
old timers who said there would be
no killing frost until late. These
maintain that after the first frost it
warns up and stays warm for three
or four weeks before another hard
frost occurs If the first sign of
frost occurs very early, as it did this
year, it is so light as to do no harm,
while if it occur as late as Septem-
Der 10 or 15, it is usually severe
enough to kill.

Tramps on a Strike

The strike habit has reached to
the hoboes in the county Jail. Since
the 'boes have been put to work ON
the county roads, the Weld county
jail has not been the haven of rest
Of former days. The prisoners at
the Jail are given two good big meals
each day, enough so that they can
save enough from the two to make
out fairly good supper. Friday
the chain gang struck for an extra
meal or they would not go to work
on the road. Turnkey Williams then
gave them the alternative of going
to work or taking the dark cell on
bread and water. They took the
latter. Saturday morning three of
them had decided that if they could
have their old jobs back they would
forego the bread and water.

Visit Holland Farm.

About eighty young folks swooped
down upon the John Holland farm
near Kersey Friday evening and took
possession of every room in the house.
They were members of young people S
societies and the choir of the First
Presbyterian church who had been
invited by Mr.. Holland to come
and make themselves at home. The
social gathering was largely to enable
a large number of Normal students,
members of the church, to meet and
become better acquainted with the
young people of the church.
Most of the young folks went out
on two hay rack loads. A large num-
Der also went in private convey
anceS.
About midnight, when the social
time was beginning to wane, oysters
and other refreshments were served
to all. They reached home in time
for breakfast.

BLISSFUL MIXTURE
Two of the Boys Rode Over Each
Other.

After saying pretty things about
some unknown person who ran over
each of them in the dark Saturday
night, Will and Robert Bliss Sunday
morning in comparing notes discov-
cred that each was 1T.
Will Bliss was returning home af-
ter dark Saturday night and was
driving along at fairly good pace.
Coming toward town at an equally
rapid pace was his cousin, Robert
Bliss. The two met near the Nc
Elroy corner northeast of the city,
but neither saw the other coming un-
til the wheels of their buggies
locked They were going too rap
idly to stop for little things like that,
however, and Robert S buggy climbed
clean over the two wheels of Wills
buggy. There were remarks on both
sides about ''The Flying Dutch
man." Davy Jones, ETC., as each
saw the other shadow pass. Both.
were angry because the other man
did not stop to ascertain the extent
of damages.
Next morning Will having ex-
hausted the supply of his adjectives
to express his feelings, went to his
cousin Bob, and found him also burn
ing up words at the careless chap
with whom he collided. Nothing
was really hurt except feelings.

The figures above show the eXpen-

years 1897 and 1898, when Alva
Adams was governor, and in the
years 1903 and 1904, with james III.
Peabody as governor.
1t will be seen that the eXpendi
lures, NOT INCLUDING MIL
ITARY, during EACH year of
Peabody's administration have been
about the same as for the TWO
years of Adams.
Peabody's revenue in 1903 was
81, GA, ISL, compared with Adams
revenue in 1897 of S9l6, ,356.
Peabody's revenue in 1904 with
the last quarter in the insurance
department and secretary of state S
Office estimated) is 81, 740, 600, COM
pared with Adams revenue of S9ll,-
5S7 in 1898.
The Peabody revenue for the two
wears is $3, Ala. 1sl, compared with
Adams revenue of 81, 1927, 943, or
less than one half of Peabody's.
In addition Governor Peabody had
surplus of about $780, 900 carried
forward from Governor Orman's ad-
ministration. All the money in
hand will have been spent at the
end of the Peabody administration,
and it is expected that a consider
able amount of bills will be carried
over unpaid to the next administra-
tiOn.

T0BEHANGED
YOUNG MANS wILDnRIDE
THIS MORNING
Strasge Hallucination of William
Larson of Grover Who Stole
Horses Along His
Route

HatlesS and coatless and with his
horse lathered with foam, William
Larson, a young man of Grover, came
toward Greeley from Kersey Saturday
morning, with the insane. idea that
he had an appointment to be hanged
at $50. All along the way he
changed horses without leave or
license. Following about two miles
behind him, Just near enough to oc-
cassionally catch glimpse of the
fleeing man was Constable James
Loustalet of Kersey, who reached
the city just after the insane man
had been caught by City Marshal
Camp near the old county house.
Young Larson started in Friday in
the vicinity of Kersey, stealing
horses and trying to. He was
chased out in the Grow Creek coun-
try, and finally eluded his pursuers,
who thought him an outright horse
thief. Early next morning he
showed up at Charles Lolotf's barn,
three miles east of Kersey. and went
to help himself to a horse. Mr..
Lolotf asked him what he wanted and
was answered that he wanted horse
| and was going to have it. Seeing
| the man was in dangerous mood,
Mr.. Lolotf allowed him to take the
horse, and then telephoned to Con-
stable Loustalet, who at once started
out in pursuit, with good chance of
overtaking the fellow. AT kersey,
however, Larson went to the Madison
& Holman livery stable and took the
best horse he could find and again
started for the gallOws at Greeley.
He again tried to trade horses on the
way, with William Sherman OF the
S. l.. w. ranch, but couldn't make
| il. so he continued on the tagged
animal.
In the meantime telephone mes
sages were sent to the sheriff's office
and Marshal Camp, and all the coun-
try roads leading into the city were
guarded. Mr.. Camp had just reached
the old county house when he saw a
man coming toward him riding
wildly. At his second signal to stop
the horseman slowed up, and ex-
planned why he was in such a
] hurry.
He made but little protest against
being taken to the county jail and
locked up.
William Larson is the son of Erick
Larson of Grover. The cause of his
insanity and how long he has been
running about wildly is not yet
known. Sheriff Elliott this morn
ing telegraphed the young mans
people in Grover. ~~-
Later it was learned that the
Young man left home September 10.
! while he was left at home alone fol
couple of days, and that he had d
short time before that been injurec
by horse falling upon him. His
whereabouts had been unknown tt
his parents from that time.
1t was also discovered that he hat
been rooming at the home of Mrs
Sarah Row. 1900 Eighth avenue
and had there committed some petit.
thefts, for which the city officer
were looking for him. 1t is sup
posed that this gave him the idea o
having to be hanged.
