Hampton, Sept. 29.-The Upper
Iowa Conference plunged into the work
of the session this morning and con-
siderable routine matter was disposed
of. The main event Of the forenoon
session was the address of the bishop
to the class of young men Just admit
ted to the conference. Old ministers
who have been attending the confer
ence for twenty years pronounced the
address one Of the finest they ever
heard. 1t was scholarly ard eloquent
and contained much excellent advice
for those about to enter upon the du-
ties Of the ministry. The following
class was admitted to the conferences:
r. III. Pickett, D. M. Nielsen, II. L.
Western, H. A. Barton, r. ID. Cinden-
burger.
Laymen's Meeting.'
Whether an association Of the lay
men of the conference will be organ
lied will probably come up for decision
this afternoon. There are large num-
Der of layrnen here and a meeting has
been called for consideration of the
project suggested by Laylnan Rhode,
of Waterloo, who is an enthusiastic
supporter of the plan. 1t IS not likely.
however, that the organization will be
perfected today, even IL 1t Is decided
advisable to form such a society.
Ministers Play Ball.
Most Methodist ministers believe in
having a little fun now and then, ana
so it was decided to indulge their taste
in this direction with a ball game this
afternoon. It is a new departure IN
conference programs, but nevertheless
the preachers believe they can play
ball well enough to defeat the Hamp-
ton nine. A team picked from the
younger ministers will contest with
the Hampton amateurs and q large
number of ministers will attend. While
the preachers are not giving to bet
ting, they say their team can't lose.
Gift Of $4,000.
It was announced today that Mrs.
John B. Phelps, of Davenport, who
died recently, left $4,000 to the First
Methodist church, of Davenport, for
the purpose of building a parsonage.

F'reedman's Aid.
Two great anniversary meetings
were held at the NJ. E. church last
evening. The first was that of the
Freedman's Aid Society, which was adj
dressed by the Rev. DR.. Thirkield, OF
Cincinnati, Ohio.
He said he came to plead for one out
Of every seven American citizens. The
poverty and illiteracy of the southern
states was wildly depicted. The
wealth and schools of the north be-
ing compared with the poverty and
lack of schools in the south. He main
tanned that the great needs of the
south were more schools, churches, text
books, teachers. The work of this So
ciety in the south is not only among
negroes but also among the poor

audience, and came to the platform
amid cheers. His attitude upon the
question Of the liquor business Is well
known. He spoke briefly and in part
as follows:
Il am not a preacher, but feel that l
received my commission from Presi-
dent King twenty-five years ago, when
he bade me ego west" He strongly
asserted that prohibition does prohibit
IN North Dakota. In the state at large
ana in the cities and large towns. His
assertions were received with cheers.
1t was fully 10 o'clock when the great
organ peeled forth the doxology.
Something Else.
The ministers on the large circuits,
as we'll as the smaller ones, begin to
feel the tremendous strain incident to
conference week, and what the dp-
pointments may reveal. Church COM
mittees and delegations come and go.
14aymen are here consulting with
preachers and presiding elders and the
great mental strain on many Is felt
most intensely Some one that can
invent method to allay this mental
uneasiness on the part Of these hum
dreds Of Methodist ministers once a
year will certainly have done human-
ity a great service.
The following resolutions were Of
fered during yesterdays session. They
are Explanatory:
Dear Fathers and Brethren: Your
commission appointed at the session
last year to prepare plans for the
semi-centennial anniversary of the
Upper Iowa conference beg leave to
present the following partial report
I'VE recommend that Saturday of
the conference session of next year be
set apart for a emicentennial cele-
bration and the program Of the day
be as follows:
$50 a. m.-Story Of the first con-
ference-Eliza Skinner.
0:30-Sermon-Dr. S. N. Fellows.
$3.50 p. m.-Sermon by Bishop S. M
Merrill.
3:3O-Reminiscent meeting.
1880 p. m.-Platform meeting.
eve recommend also that DR.. 8.
N. Fellows be requested to write his
tory OF the conference and publish 1t
in book form, and that committee OF
one from each district be appointed to
solicit subscriptions at this conference
session.
A work Of great Importance that
is being taken up by this conference
is that Of deaf mutes. A permanent
committee consisting of the following
brethren has been appointed to coop
crate with the Woman's Home Mis-
sionary Society, to forward this great
work OF benevolence: Revs. j.. ]. Lock-
wood, e. r. Miller. Mark Masters, Il. l.
I.oyeland, Hadwin Williams and p. N
Dwello. There are a large number OF
mutes in Cedar Rapids, Waterloo and
Cedar Falls, and we have an ordained
deaf mute minister. Rev. Middleton

WHO Will ldV6 Charge VI IAO WI -
among this needy class.
Some Talked Of Changes.
But short time ago it looked as If
this would be a very quiet conference
so far as disturbing preachers and
charges are concerned. Now 1T is
learned from authentic sources that
there will be good many changes
and most of these will occur in what
are styled the "top-notch" appoint
ments. Possibly the Cedar Rapids dis
trict, presided over by DR.. j. G. VAN
Ness, will have the most changes, al
though DR.. Pitner, of the MARSHALL
town district, has several appointments
he must adjust. Mt. Vernon, Iowa
City, Marshalltown, Vinton, possibly
First church at Cedar Rapids, will
have pastors changed, and if this is
done it will cause quite commoticn
all around. A good many pastors who
felt content as matters We're, are a
little bit anxious over the possible ac-
ton of the bishop and his advisors.
Younger Men Sought.
Among the younger men most
sought after in the district is the Rev.
N. M. Smith, of Ackley. Marshalltown
wants him and if DR.. Troy can be cared
for properly Mt. Vernon would be
pleased to receive him. Only three
years ago he came out of Drew theo-
logical seminary. Ackley was his first
appointment and he has been there
since. He is a thoroughly consecrated

presiding bishop, is its national presi-
dent. DR.. S. N Fellows, the chairman
of the meeting is the state president,
and DR. McCash, the state superin-
tendent. DR.. McCash spoke first and for
more than an hour. His speech was a
calm dispassionate discussion of the
problem of intemperance. He said the
most dangerous foe TO society and
home and church was the organized
liquor traffic. The saloon stands for
ignorance, debauchery and dehuman-
ization. The church for the best bust
ness interests of the country. The sa-
loon for it's ruination, the church for
it's evangelization. He described at
length the workings of the league.
Bishop Wilson was then introduced.
Owing to the lateness of the hour he
spoke only briefly, but that short
speech was telling one. He said in
part: The saloon in the alley is CAN
gerous, the saloon OH the thorough
fare is a thousand times more so, but
the legalized dram shop is worst oe

Perfect Weather and Low Rates on

70 Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican
Anes, Sept. 29.-Seldom has 1t been
the privilege of the citizens of Ames
and of the faculty and students OF the
Iowa State College, to entertain such
a crowd as has been here today on ac-
count of the annual harvest home ex-
cursion. The weather was perfect and
no one STAYED away for fear OF rain.
This custom of setting aside one or
two DAYS during the autumn months
to bring together the people OF the
state that they may see the education
al advantages held out to young men
and young women, has met with uni
versal favor and each year brings adj
ditional numbers. For time only one
day was given over to this celebration
but it has finally become impossible
for the town and the departments at
the college to accommodate the visit
ors all at one time. hence two days
are being devoted to these annual
gatherings. AS has been anticipated
by those in charge of the arrange
ments, the largest crowd that has ever
been on the college campus have
thronged the buildings today.
Today the Northwestern ran special
trains over its lines turnout the state
as previously announced. Special
trains from east, west, north and
south commenced to arrive early IN
the day bearing an enthusiastic lot OF
people The regular trains that ar
rived early in the day brought a large
number of people, but the crowds on
these proved to be insignificant COM
pared with the hundreds that came In
on the specials
Tomorrow the Great Western and
trains over their lines.
It has been estimated that nearly
Is, 900 people have been in attendance
today. The first special trains began
to arrive shortly after 10 o'clock and
each bore heavy burden Of human
freight. With the regular and specials,
fourteen In all, Ames has been scene
Of hurry and hustle since early In the
day. The program in the afternoon
was carried out as previously an
nounced. Starting with parade of
fine stock from the college barns,
tour was made of the campus Prob
ably no other feature of the days en-
tertainment attracted more attention
and received more comments of admit
ration than did this display of high
bred cattle and horses. Every depart
men was open to the visitors, who
thronged the buildings the entire fore
noon. The large pavilion erected on
the campus, in which aportion Of the
program was rendered, was filled to
overflowing with the visitors. After
hearty welcome by President Storms
and music by the College Glee Club
Hon. j. F. Lacey was introduced and
gave the principal address For MORE
than an hour he held the undivided at
tention of the vast audience. A foot
ball game at 3:15 between Ames' sec
ond team and second team of Drake
University, closed the days entertain
! ment.

ASHLAND. Wis, Jan. 9.-While the
FIRE department was fighting a fire in
the barn of George Wilkinson here a
quantity Of dynamite exploded in the
burning building, seriously injuring
four firemen and two spectators.
The firemen had been warned that
there was dynamite In the building,
but continued their work. The Wilkin-

dwelling, adjacent TO the barn, when
without warning the dynamite explod-
ed, hurting firemen to the ground and
also prostrating nearby spectators.
The barn was blown to fragments, and
dearly every house in Ashland was
shaken by the force Of the explosion,
windows being broken half Il mile
