BIG CONVENTION PLANNED
BY THE METHODIST CHURCH
ants in Russo--JaPan War to Be
Decided at Los Angeles.

/ yersity. in course Of construction at
Washington. is one of the big ques-
tlons that the educational department
will have to decide. The institution
as originally projected. was to have an
endowment OF 100000 and an agree
ment was reached at former general
conference that the university should
not be opened until this sum should
be on hand. About two and halt
millions have been collected. land has
been secured and several large build
ings erected. There is a strong party
In the conference that opposes the idea
OF letting this property stand idle for
an indefinite period, and urges that
the school be opened at once.
The educational department will also
have to decide the question Of heresy
in certain theological schools where
the majority Of the Methodist min
listers receive their training.
For the first time in the history of
Methodist general conferences women
delegates win have seats in the con-
ference. and a voice in the direction
of church affairs. The election of
bishops will take place about May 16,
and is one of the chief duties of the
present conference. There are three
vacancies at this time and it is prob
able that several, possibly three or
four OF the older bishops who have
reached the age which incapacitates
them for active duty will be retired.
1t appears to be certain that no fewer
than four new bishops nor more than
10 will be elected. There are numer-
Gus candidates. Among them are:
Rev. DR.. James NJ. Buckley, New
York; Rev. Dr. George F. Bovard. Los
Angeles; Chancellor Day of the Uni
versity of Santa Cruz; Rev. w. F.
Mcdowell Of the Educational Society;
President Little Of the Garrett Biblical
Evanston, ILL.,; President
of Ohio wesleyan Univer-
sity; Rev. t. r. jennings, Cincinnati.
and Rev. DR.. Henry Spellmeyer, New
ark, N. J.
The colored delegates. of which
there are rs or more, will make a
strong effort to have one Of their race
elected bishop.
The subject Of foreign missions viii
form a topic Of earnest and interesting
With the view of bring
Ing the subject prominently before the
conference, the missionary element has
arranged one Of the most comprehen-
sive and instructive exhibits ever
shown at a church gathering. A fea-
ture of the exhibit is map Of the
world, the largest ever printed, de-
signed with the special purpose of
the work of the mission
lries and showing at a glance those
,arts of the world yet unconverted by
Christianity.

ready to proceed with the legislative
tasks confronting them.
The delegates win. during the daily
sessions lasting through the month OF
May, be called upon to solve many
problems OF Importance to the growth
and future welfare OF the Methodist
Episcopal church.
In the opinion Of many high in the
councils OF Methodism, the quadren
NAL session viii prove the most i'm
portant of any in the history Of the
church. Among the most important
subjects are the following:
What Can the Church Do on the
Liquor Question:" what Action
Can the Church Take to Solve the
Race Question:" shall Worldly
Pleasures. Such as Dancing. Theater-
Going and Playing Be Condoned
by the Church"
with Which Comb1tant in the War
in the Orient Are Our Sympathies"
what Can Be Done by the Church to
Prevent, in the Good Name Of the
Country the Crime of Lynehing?"
shall the Itineraries Of Methodist
Ministers BE Restroed? How Many
Bishops Shall Be Elected and how
Many Be Retired?"
A proposal to consolidate the three
publishing houses of the church In
New York. Cincinnati and Chicago will
doubtless cause spirited discussion in
the conference as the movement to
combine them all in one, in the inter
est Of economy is looked upon with dis

New Driven Wells Furnish Forf

POSTS DEMAND EASILY MET
The Five Wells With Extra

Gallons. an Hour! While
I2O, ,OO0 q Day Are Used.

The great problem Of water sup
ply for Fort Stevens. the magnificent
new government post ct the mouth of
the Columbia has been solved at iast.
Driven wells will furnish the post with
water and afford for It even a greater
supply than will be necessary. The
wells recently sunk at Stevens have
more than come up to the expecta-
tions Of the government officials and
have removed the greatest obstacle In
the way Of the enlargement and Inn
provement Of the post.
Captain Goodale, constructing quar-
termaster. who has charge Of all the
construction work at the forts at the
mouth Of the Columbia, states that the
five wells will easily provide 5000 gal
Ions an hour, at that, with additional
pressure. 10000 gallons an hour can
be provided. The needs Of the post at
present are about 10000 gallons daily.
and the possible supply which may be
pumped from the five wells and win
be great enough to amply supply a
full regimental post
The idea Of sinking the wells which
have proved so successful originated
locally. The engineering department
had driven wells at Fort Stevens for
it's water supply, with much success.
and 1t was calculated that quite as
good results could be secured for the
post. The wells were OILY recently
sunk and the experiments showed them
to be satisfactory in every respect.
Analysis Of the water also gave salts
factory results. and the supply secured

The earth has nourished us through

II not true that the earth supplies us

would probably be better off to-day as

what is good for them and will search
until they find In some plant what they
need for correcting indigestion or con-

sible that there are roots and herbs sup
piled by nature which will cure the
diseases that affiict human kind? That
is why DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, has
such faith in his UMedical Discovery y
