The new presiding elder Of the
Clarksburg district of the Methodist

The transfer of Rev. L. NJ. Bar

future will become one of much
brilliance.

Des Moines, Ia. Nov. 14.---If the Of
fetal report filed by Consul George L..
Dobson is anything like the interviews
which he is granting concerning his
brief experience i'm Hanchow, China, it
will be apt to be regarded as warm
document
Consul Dobson. wife and S-year-old
son, Philip arrived in Des Moines YES

ated condition presents Il srriking con-

Physicians told him he was suffering
with Brights disease and that he must
leave the country at once.
Consul Dobson refuses to make any
specific statements concerning the petit
ton which was given him as IL reward
for his partisan services until his for
mill report is in the hands of the Wash
ington authorities. He does, however,
give China setting out, and especially
the vicinity of Hanchow. which is amy
thing but calculated to enhance the rep

sort.

says:

rocking odor of the filth which is al

can imagine perhaps why there is so

Consul Dobson says that he found
that Minister Conger was universally
liked, and that with the exception of q
few grafters there was no opposition
to him in that country.
Consul Dobson has no arrangements
for tie future. but after going TO WASH
ington and concluding his relationship
with the government he will make it
his first business To seek the restora-

piece of wood fell into the solution; the
solution dccomposed, the gold assumed
