THE CONFERENCE.

Lancaster welcomes today the
Rock Hill District Conference.
The ministers and laymen are
cordially invited to make them
selves completely at home. They

enjoy in full measure their So

pitable community.
The visitors will find much in
Lancaster to interest them, out

Conference. When that body is
not in session, the members,
during their leisure moments,
will be repaid by visiting the
miliion-dollar cotton mills. the
big oil mill in course of construc-
ton, the handsomeGtaded school
building, the mineral spring aud
other places of interest in the
town and vicinity. Dives or
strolls around Lancaster will
also convince our guests that we
are not without a number of fine
business houses and residences.

A SUGGESTION TO OUR LAW.
MAKERS

1t would be a good idea for
the legislature to pass law en-
powering the keeper OF the peni-
tentiary and th : sheriffs or jailers
OF the several counties to dis
charge from their custody con-
victs upon the service of Hip
OF their sentences where in the
judgment of those officers such
impri oned persons have by good
conduct meri ed commutation OF
sentence As is we'll known, a
Federal statute gives such author
itv TO the custodians or keepers
Of persons serving sentences i'm
proved by United States courts.
If, for example, convicted par
ty is sent by Federal judge to
a penitentiary or jail for ~
months, he may be given his
liberty at the end of IL months
/ if ne has made a record Tor good
behavior. The matter is left to
the discretion of the jailer or
keeper Of the place of imprison-
ment.
The principal object of the
law, no doubt, is to encourage
criminals to reform and become
better citiz ems when free once
more. The prospect of getting
out of prison in a little less time
than that fixed by sentence acts
as a powerful incentive to good
conduct. The national law works
well and we believe that simi
lar enactment by our Legislature
would prove equally as satisfac
tory.
In Chester county, convicts
now have LIP of their sentences
"knocked off" as a reward for
good conduct, but by what
authority we know not. SO far
as we are aware, there is no
State law on the subject.

LOST HIS MEMORY.
Strange Case of Clyde Demon Mysti-
fed Physicians.

A peculiar case of lapse of memory
was brought to the attention of Dr. II.
H. Keith last night about Z o'clock.
when A. w. Demon, a motorneer on
the street railway, who lives at 1124
Taylor street brought his 14year-old
son Clyde to the doctors office for
treatment
Clyde Demon is a carrier for a Kan
sas City paper, getting his papers at
the Union Pacific depot in North To-
peka about o'clock in the evening,
and delivering a route east of Kansas
avenue on the south side. One of his
customers, a lady living near Eighth
ana Madison streets, found the boy in
an unconscious condition in the street
in front of her house. She searched
MS pockets, and found a Y. NJ. c. A.
card bearing his name and address.
Ihen she called up his parents, and no.
tined them of the boys condition. His
Iather, "A. w. Demon, came after the
BOY, who had recovered consciousness,
but did not seem to realize where he
was. At DR.. Keiths office 1T was dis
covered that he had been struck a Sc
we're blow in the face, which swelled
his lips, but this was the only injury
found on his body. The boy had all
the appearance of being asleep and
dreaming. He would take his watch
out of one pocket and place it in an
other, meanwhile talking foolishly. The
case baff1ed the physician. who in
put him to bed and await some develop
mentS.
This morning the boy awoke as from
a sound sleep and asked his mother
what had hurt his lip. Later he came
to the police station to get his bicycle.
which had been picked up by the po-
lice, the father, in his anxiety to get
the boy to a doctor, ignoring the ma
chine and leaving it in the street where
the boy was found. Clyde, in explain
ing why his bicycle was found lin the
street told the story of his lost MEM
ory- He says that he cannot even re-
member going to North Topeka after
his papers. but he knows that he did,
because his father this morning gave
him the sack of papers which was
found hanging to his shoulder, and five
papers were missing, showing that he
had deli %ed that number to his sub
scribers before losing consciousness.
The last thing l can remember"
said the boy, us having some row with
a boy L do not know very well, out
near my home. about 5 o'clock He
was jumping and off from a small |
pony belonging to Frank Cope. and I
told him to stop it, There was some |
argument, but 1 cannot remember that |
he struck me. 1t was the first thing |
that occurred to me when 1 woke up
this morning"
Today the boy seems as sound men
tally as he ever was, and hurried out !
to deliver the papers which his peculiar
case had stopped him from delivering
last night.

The Fascination Of Office

II is qnite true that some men elected 10
public Office serve at a very considerable
personal sacrifice.
Strange that most men, once elected to

Or what is the mysterious fascination,
once tasted, that compels men against their

The familiar spectacle Of an overworked
ard underpaid officer holder, who with both
feet in the trough, persists at each recurring
election in holding on in all apparent death
clutch, is as pathetic as that of any poor un-

After all, it probably depends some on
the office, and very much on the man, as
