Meeting To Be Held In A Barn.

Members of the old order of German Bap-
fist Brethren from all parts of the United
States will assemble on the farm of Rev.

nual Conference, which will convene tomor.
row and continue for one week. Thousands
of people are expected to attend the confer
ence, coming from Maryland, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and IS far away as California.
Instead of meeting in tabernacle, or a large
tent, as originally planned, the sessions of the
Conference will be held in Rev. Mr.. Goods
large barn. In order to make the improvised
auditorium large enough platform will be
built out from the overshoot, so that there will

Many of the visitors will sleep in the barns of
Rev. Mr. Good, Aaron Fahrney, Rev. Isaac
Riddlemoser and Rev. Goods sawmll. On
the floors will be placed layer of straw and
over this will be stretched muslin. This will
serve as beds.
For pillows the delegates will have new

coverings will be provided by the committee.
Members of the church living in this section,
not too far from the place of the Conference,
will take many of the visitors to their homes.
All delegates to the Conference will be served
with two free meals day. A large dining
hall and kitchen have been erected. Here
all food will be cooked and served. Already
contracts have been awarded by the committee

apple butter, $50 pounds of coffee, two barrels
of pickles and several barrels of sugar.

What the Cause ?

Mr.. J. L. Waite, editor in chief of the Bur
lington, Iowa, Hawk Eye, one of the leading
daily papers of the middle west, writes me as
follows
'That was a most excellent record OF fore
casts you made for April. Few people be-
lieved we would have such cold stormy April.
| am afraid your other prediction is going to
come true that we will not have as good crops
this year as for several years past. 1t would
interest the public very much if you could tell
them upon what basis you made the forecast.
What were the conditions which brought about
these results, so different from what they were
last year? Congratulating you upon your
success, am, etc."
As see it the planet Mars is the immediate
cause. For the past three months the earth
has been moving rapidly toward that planet
and this approach of the two planets caused
the electric forces and the magnetic system OF
the earth TO be excited.
My theory is that the planets are great mag
nets and the great magnetician, Clerk Max
we'll, demonstrated that two natural magnets.
caused to approach each other. break up or
change the magnetic systems OF each other.
As | see it the electrical currents and their
accompanying magnetic. spirals, operating at
right angles to those currents, constitute the
forces that dominate in the highs and lows,
these currents being connected with the earth s
magnetic poles and the latter with the mag
netic systems of the sun, moon and other
planets.
The moon has very weak magnetic system,
so much so that the earth's magnetic system
dominates, causing the moon to be as block
of copper is to a magnet. Move the magnet
toward the copper and magnetic currents are
set up in the latter. Move the magnet away
from the copper and currents are set in the
latter in the opposite direction. There
fore when the earth receives an electric
charge from planet that charge overhows to
the moon at the first magnetic connection be-
tween the earth and moon. Then, when the
nth loses its overcharge to the sun or to
planet, the moon, in order to keep up the
magnetic equilibrium, empties into the earth
at the next magnetic connection. The moon,
therefore is a neutral body, an electro dynamo
and acts as an overflow reservoir for the earth,
having somewhat the relation of governor TO
an engine.
The giant of the worlds, the great planet
Jupiter, is now forty million miles nearer the
sun than it was six years ago; Saturn is at It's
equinox where it forms its magnetic connec-
ton with the sun and Mars is nearer the earth
than for fifteen years. These relations cause
an increased magnetic activity, the latter
causes extremes Of temperature, one OF these
extremes having occurred in April and the
other Will come in June.
These causes also have some relations to
the tornadoes and other radical weather
events and also relation to sunspots and

Foreign Help for Maryland Farmers.

Looking very much as he did when he left
here three months ago, though somewhat
tanned, Mr.. August F. Trappe, secretary Of
the State Bureau of Immigration, arrived in
Baltimore Sunday morning on board the steam.
ship Hanover, from Bremen. With him
come SO horny handed sons and daughters of
toll, destined to become iaborers on the farms
of Maryland.
Mr.. Trappe has been abroad since February,
trying to persuade citizens Of Germany,
Austria, Russia and other countries to come
to Maryland and work upon the farms. That
he was successful is evidenced by the fact that
he brought with him % men and II women,
who will be apportiOned out to farmers in the
State as soon as the necessary redtape bus
mess can be gone through with. The next
steamer coming to Baltimore will bring Is
more immigrants, and the boat following that
one will bring something like 20 more. Mr..
Trappe stated today that, while he had con-
siderable trouble getting what immigrants he
wanted. he was sure his trip was n success, and
that in the future he will be able to supply the
Maryland farmers with all the help they may
want He said that he had established agen-
cies abroad in different places, and that when
he desires more immigrants all he will have
to do will be to notify his agents who will send
them over.
Awaiting Mr.. Trappe at the pier were a
number of Maryland farmers, some of whom
have been in the city for several days, and all
ofwhom are clamoring for help. One of these
stated that he had been at the pier since May
7. According to schedule, the Hanover was
due TO arrive in port last Thursday, but a heavy
fog, through which she worked her way for
six days, delayed her. When the capes were
reached it was necessary to lay to until the
fog had lifted Then when the boat arrived
at Quarantine it was discovered that she had
two cases of smallpox, one case of diphtheria
and one case of measles aboard. Two deaths
had occurred on the way over. Owing to the
prevalence ofthe contagious diseases on board,
the ship was held in the quarantine for several
hours.
Mr.. Trappe said that all of his immigrants
were, he thought in good shape. They will
be taken off at once. Most of them came from
Austria and Russia. and apparently have the
making of good farm hands in them. Mr..
Trappe said that he had started with A i'm.
migrants, but that five of them were held up
on the other side

TO SHUT OUT NEW STATE.
Republicans Plan To Hold Back
Oklahoma

WASHINGTON, May 15.-President Roose-
welt, the officers of the Republican Congress
sional Committee and the Republican leaders
Of Oklahoma have fully arranged their plan to
prevent the new State composed of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory from participating in the
next Presidential election.
The Republican organization. with Mr..
Roosevelt at the head, is playing high
handed game of politics TO avoid the posi-
bilty Of the Democrats securing the seven
electoral votes of this new State in 1908. The
plan is to make vigorous fight against the
approval of the Constitution by the people of
the Territory. and, failing in this, for the
President to arbitrarily disapprove of the con
stitution when presented to him, thus denying
the completion of Statehood. From beginning
to end the whole transaction is one of political
chicanery on the part of the Republican man
ayers to overcome the Democratic proclivltles
Of the people of Oklahoma and to prevent the
new State from casting Democratic electoral
vote.
