THEY CHANGED ITS NAME.
Dunkards Will Be "Church of the
Brethren" Henceforth.

The German Baptist Brethren or
Church Of the Brethren as they will
call themselves in the future, closed
the annual conference at Des Moines
Saturday. Elder J. F. Hantz and
Jacob Brown Of Abilene attended.
The most significant action taken was
the abandonment Of the old name that
has served ever since the church was
landed in the United States, several
hundred years ago. On the matters
Of dress and other customs no action
was taken. The questions were re-
ierred to the next conference after 8
debate that indicated that the pro.
gressive or liberal element is gaining
strength
The conference refused to reisstate
the sixty-three women Of the Dayton,
o., church who we're barred because
they wore dresses with "frills."

LOOKING UP THE SITE
FOR THE NEW POSTOFFICE

The Commercial club met last week
at the library and talked Of site for
a public building. The most favor
able location seemed to be the corner
of Third and Spruce streets with the
corner Of Broadway and Fourth
streets, opposite the new library
building, close second. The corner
of Mulberry and Third streets, where
the residences Of C. A. Case and D. S.
Clarke stand was also mentioned. 1t
was voted that the president appoint
a committee Of three TO look up infor-
nation concerning the three sites.
The committee was also ordered to
prepare a vote Of thanks to Senator
Long for securing the appropriation.
The following committee was ap-
pointed: F. b. Glimpse, j. Z. Brewer
and Hiland Southworth.
C. A. Case then proposed that the
meeting adjourn to Gleissner's drug
store and the motion was carried
unanimously,

FLOOD AT INDUSTRY.
Streets Were Raging Rivers-Cel-
lars Were Full.

INDUSTRY, June 15.---Our talk is all
Of the flood we have been having at
Industry. The young folks had a
boat ride below DR.. Schenberger's
down to the mill. All over town peo-
pie have spent anxious nights. Sat-
urday night the clouds broke loose
with rain, thunder and lightning.
Rain came in torrents; everything was
soon on the level in raging river.
Pigs, chickens, and all small things
were swept off. The wind blew with
awful force, tearing down the fruit
trees heavily laden with apples and
peaches. Corn and wheat fields we're
under water. Sunday the people
were all moved up to the school house
and the Gatchel, Anthony, Keim'
Joyce and McPheeters homes were a
refuge to those' In danger. Sunday
our town was in raging flood. For
miles the crops were under water
DR., Lewis new cistern caved In. The
waters came very near the house.
Cellars we're full Of water. All the
boys got to work and carried the
grain out Of the basement at the mill
to higher place. just got the last
bushel out when in came the water.
Lots Of big fish we're caught stranded
on the land mostly carp. In the
north part Of town the water was in
several houses and many Of the farm
ers who own bottom lands lose their
whole crops.

Gas Discovered
in COttonWOOds

Two days later, Professor Bushong
and Archie w. Weith, state water
chemist, were able to capture the
in glass jar after series Of expert
ments. On this occasion, another
tree was selected, the hole was bored,
and the gas pipe was affixed as In the
first experiment. From the end Of
the gas pipe into jar inverted in
water, a rubber tube was placed.
The bubbles, which began to rise i'm.
medlately, showed that the gas was
present in the Cottonwood. When
the jar was full, it was carried to the
laboratory, where it manifested al
the properties Of natural gas when
burned on the Bunsen burner. A
stop-cock was inserted in the gas pipe
and the same experiment was carried
on the following day. The jar was
filled with gas on this occasion but
the pressure was not so strong and
decreased proportionately on succeed
ing days until it disappeared alto
gether.
According to the chemistry depart
mentthe gas was caused by decaying
wood in the interior OF the tree. The
gas is interesting as chemical sub
stance but Of course worthless COM
mercially.

And still there's more to follow.
Showers tonight and tomorrow is the
prediction Of the weather bureau.
Last night copious showers visited
the entire Smoky valley watershed
and as result the rivers are "fuller"
than ever. This county had a drench-
ing, nearly an inch coming down. At
Industry it was still raining at II
O'Clock.
The river at Sand Springs shows no
change from yesterday, standing at
23.3 feet above low water mark. At
the bridge south Of town higher
stage'is shown than at any time this
season, due to the rise in both the
Holland and Turkey creeks.
Salina had u inch rainfall but the
Saline fell foot during the night.
Minneapolis got / inch fall and
river at standstill.
Niles reports foot fall in river.
At Solomon the river shows 26.7
