the telegraphers in New York appears TO
have Developed into a waiting contest
The companies have rounded in enough
men TO make a showing, although the
service is still sadly crippled and mes
sages are accepted only subject to In
definite delay.
One union man has returned 10 the
Postal. and the strikers have won eight
strike-breakers from the Two companies
The strikers will bend their efforts the
next few days Ia proving that an Illegal
combination exists between the Western
Union and the Postal That there is a
combination and working agreement
was demonstrated some weeks ago.
I'VE propose TO show said Chief
Strategist Russell, that the recent in
crease in telegraph tariff was unneces-
sary and that the companies are profit
ing enormously. The 10 per cent raise in
salaries which they made in March was
only drop in the bucket 30

that the farmers are learning fast.
Most of them can tell what consti-

years ago al ear Of corn was simply
juded by its size. Today 1t is very
different.
Mr.. Wimple has proven his faith
in his work and judgement by going
into a national corn show against the
best In the country. He won over
Wisconsin and Minnesota, and there
is no telling where he would have
landed in a contest with Iowa and
Illinois, and we hope to see Lincoln

A Delegate from Canton.

Rev. Evans occupied his pulpit
again last Sunday after attending as
a delegate the Triennial Council of
the Congregational Churches at Cleve-
land, Ohio, which convened Oct. 8 to
II. He says sit was by far the larg-
est and most important Council ever
held by the churches of his denomi-
nation. Considerably over 1000 dele
gates, representative men from va
rious states of the Union and foreign
lands were present. The great Mis-
sionary Societies in charge Of the
evangelistic and educational work of
the Congregational Churches through
out the world also met with the Coun-
Gil to transact business. They main
tain in foreign lands l,7O0 places of
worship, Is Colleges; 1854 other
schools with Is, l52 students under in
%struction.
The chief topic Of interest at the
Council was the proposed union of the
Congregational, Observation-Disclosures
tant and United Bretheren Churches.
Several sessions Of the Council were
devoted exclusively to the discussion
Of this project. About 100 represent
ative speakers from all sections of the
United States and many foreign lands
voiced the sentiments Of his consti-
tuents on this proposed union. 1t.
has been in the air for more than
three years.
AT 10 p. m. Oct. 10th the discussion
closed and the vote of the delegates
taken. 1t carried in favor of union
with only two or three opposed. In
stantly the great Council was on it's
feet, the organ sounded the opening
note and every voice sang praise
God from whom all blessings flow"
Rev. Evans will speak concerning
this affair next Sunday morning at a
quarter to eleven.
