CHURCH CONFERENCE.
Twenty.first Conference Work Ac.
complished by Church Showing
Remarkable DEVELOPMENT,

The twenty-first annual conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal church of
North Dakota will meet in Valley City
next week. Bishop McCabe we'll
known as Chaplain McCabe during the
civil war, will preside.
The Methodist church in North Da-
kota has enjoyed a. remarkable de-
velopment. In 1885 the membership
was 2,238, compared with 1897 in last
years report. The church property in
1884, consisting of seventeen churches
and six parsonages, was valued at
valued at So, 200: Last year there
were 145 churches and eighty-two
parsonages, valued at $52S,S00 Met
hodist Sunday schools in 1884 at
tracted 1880 scholars in thirty-seven
schools and last year 11,493 scholars
we're instructed in 1913 schools.
The North Dakota mission made a
conference in 1885. There are now
three districts, known as Fargo,
Grand Forks and Minot districts. In
1884 the preachers, including presid-
ing elder and bishop, were paid sal
aries amounting to $16.70. Last year
the pastors were paid $S2,2S6. For
the seventeen churches in 1884 there
were thirty-one preachers. Last year
the churches exceeded the number of
pastors. Foreign missions in 1884 re-
ceived $492, an average contribution
of % cents. Last year $5,931 was con-
tributed for this purpose with per
capita contribution of II cents.

MAKING TEST Of A
new RAILWAY
Patent Rail Joint Being Tried
In G. P. r. Yards at
Winnipeg.
Special to The Evening Times.

Special to The Evening Times.
Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 6.-Tests are
being made at the present time in the
yards of the Canadian Northern rail-
way and on the tracks of the street
car company of an improved rail
joint, known as the Johnston pat
ent rail joint. About twenty of these
joints have been installed on the tracks
Of the Canadian Northern and several
on the tracks of the street railway.
In company with Mr.. Ditzel, who has
arranged with the Canadian Northern
for the test of the joint, representa-
tive of the Free Press made a care
full inspection of the device in actual
use today. Mr. Ditzel briefly explain
ed the point of superiority in the in
vention, showing clearly the improve
ments made on the ordinary bolted
joint.
1.-The requirements of a perfect rail
JOINT" said Mr.. Ditzel. are that it
must not differ in strength and elastic
ity from the body of the rail, 1t must
be easily opplied. it must be easily
and cheaply maintained. and it must
be durable.
1.-The ideal in railroading would be
continuous rail, but a continuous rail
is impracticable, and there is no posi-
bility of allowing for contraction and
expansion. The Johnston invention is
designed to furnish a joint as strong
and as elastic as the body of the rail-
1t does this by affording chair. in
which the end of each rail rests. so ar
ranged that II they sink at all under
the weight of the engine and train
both rails will sink equally and to-
gether. The tendency of the joint is to
hold the rails perfectly even so that
there is no jar to the train or the
equipment. and no damage to the end
Of the rail. The Johnston Joint is
easily applied and can be inserted
while the traffic is going on. 1t is of
such nature, that 1t can be put in at
little expense. There are no bolts to
contend with, and no nuts to unscrew

NEW KIND OF WHEAT.
j. c. Baugham Experiments Success.
fully With New Variety.

J. C. Baughman OF Sphinx county,
South Dakota, this year broke the
record for spring wheat by raising
966 bushels off of 80 acres. 1t is a
new variety of wheat. obtained by
Mr.. Baugham from an Iowa friend
who urged him to give it trial.
1t is peculiar in appearance, not
like spring wheat. yet unmistak-
ably of the hard quality of spring,
looking somewhat like winter wheat
and suggesting. as one Minneapolis
grain buyer said who saw the wheat,
"a winter wheat made over into
spring." 1t matured remarkably
early-was cut July 25th. Mr.. Baugh-
man is investigating to find. If pos
sible, the origin of the wheat. So
far as he knows 1t is nothing that
either the Minnesota or Iowa en-
pertinent stations have introduced,
though it may prove to have original
ed in one of these schools.

What Women are Doing.

A bureau of ideas is a remarkably
novel institution established by Mrs.

New York lawyer, at her Office in New
York. She has the assistance of other
New York women lawyers and philan-
thropists. Mrs. Mulliner gives advice
and suggestions to women who are in
need of them without charge. Women
go to her and talk about getting d.
vorces from their husbands and in the
majority of cases she persuades them
to make it up.

on very quickly and at slight cost.
"All railway joints in use at the
present time are considerable item
of expense to railway companies for
their maintenance. Even if it Is not
necessary to tighten the nuts it is
necessary to test them, and to deter
mine whether they are loose. In the
Johnston joint this expense is elimin-
ated, as there are neither bolts nor
nuts to become loose. In ordinary
trackage there are six bolts to
splice, and 1852 spices to a mile
From this it is easy to conceive the
amount of work which is saved by the
use of Joint such as described.
THE Johnston joint will also act as
rail brace, and will prevent spread
ing of the track on curves, which is
SO great source of danger in winter.
From the construction of the point it
has a great advantage over a rail
brace and it stands alone in it's field
In this regard. The tracks always be-
gin to spread at the joint, and when
the Johnston is used it is the strong
est part of the track. Another great
advantage of the joint consists in the
fact that the parts are in plain sight,
making it very easy to inspect. In
electric roads the invention not only
provides for copper or zinc bond,
but it also provides perfest bond in
itself.
This rail joint was invented and
patented by Pennsylvania mechanic,
who had been in railway wreck caus-
ed by the spreading of rail, and who
on his return home began to consider
whether he could not devise a rail
Joint which could afford greater secur-
ity than any hitherto in use. The pres
ent invention is the result of his en-
deavors."
Mr.. Ditzel is negotiating with several
railway companies at the present time
regarding the adoption of the device,
and it is stated that there is posi-
bility that a plant will be established
in this city for it manufacture and
other railway appliances. Should the
factory be built it will give employ
nlent to several hundred men. Dur
ing his stay in the city Mr.. Ditzel is a
guest at the Seymour.

When eggs are high-priced, an ex-
cellent substitute for them in pumpkin
pies is to add soda crackers. rooled
fine, allowing two for each pie. They
may be used instead of eggs, even
when eggs are plenty and cheap.
For very yellow or grimy clothes,
make a mixture of kerosene, clear
lime water and turpentine in equal
parts. Shake these together until

mixture to a boilerful of clothes and

A good time to exterminate the dan
