the Methodist Episcopal Col

journed last Friday. 1t has been an
assembly upon which the eyes of hun
dreds Of thousands or Methodlsts In
Canada and in the United States have
been turned, and in behalf of which
many prayers have been offered. The
. conference should create an epoch IN
the history OF evangelical movements in
the Japanese Empire and especially In
the progress OF the Methodist bodies
represented by the delegates gathered
In Toxic.
The Union which has been consurn-
mated brings together the two aletho-
dist Episcopal churches in the United
States and the Methodist Church, Cana

been going on for over thirty years,
the results of which. In numbers,

&c. A. Smith Of Newport Came to Nor.
folk Yesterday to Look over the
Town-tle Said His Firm Had Prae.
ticaIly Decided TO Locate Here.
Norfolk win probably be made the
horse market of northern Nebraska
and southern South Dakota
Smith Brothers of Newport, known
to News readers as the founders of an
extensive horse market at that point,
have practically decided to remove
their establishment to Norfolk and will
very soon definitely determine. G. A..
Smith, one of the firm members. was
in Norfolk yesterday to look over the
situation. He met number of bust
ness men and received hearty invita-
tions from all sources to locate here
Cordial cooperation in making the
big horse sales a success, was prom.
Used. Mr.. Smith went home at noon
feeling more than ever that Norfolk Is
the location for his business.
Norfolks excellent railroad facili-
ties, hotel accommodation and the
like, appealed to Smith Brothers.
They realize that five lines of railroad
will build for them bigger business
than is possible on one line. Here
they would be nearer the buyers and
shipments could be made out on the
same night of sales.
Smith Brothers sell many carloads
Of horses monthly. Their buyers
come from as far east as Indiana.
Here they would be independent of
Omaha and Sioux City, and yet would
enjoy as much advantages.
