Two Omaha Pastors Promoted by COu-
ference-SiN Changes In
Methodist PuIpits.

Members Of half a dozen Omaha Metho-
dist churches will see new figures in their
pulpits next Sunday, which is the first Of
the coming new conference year. As many
former pastors will be absent interest in
the new men probably will assuage 10 some
extent regret at the departure for other
charges Of weIl-lked olergymen.
Rev, e. T. George, pastor the last year
of Trinity church, IS Just appointed dis
trict superintendent Of the Neigh district.
Mr.. George is a comparatively young man
to be chosen as presiding elder, or rather
district superintendent, as the office Is
now called, and the honor Is the greater
for that reason. Moreover. Mr.. George has
not been long in the North Nebraska con-
ference. He will be succeeded here by
Rev. John A. spyker who comes from
Fremont.
Pearl Memorial church will have as pas
tor the coming year a man who has proved
himself more than usually devoted to his
cause DR.. Thomas G. Hinkle Is to supply
the vacancy He is not a regularly or
dained clergyman and his doctorate is not
of divinity. but Of medicine. Recently be-
coming enthusiastic over the work of the
ministry DR.. Hnkle disposed of large
and lucrative practice and has gone to
work as the pastor of small church.
Members of the First Methodist church
regret the departure of Rev. S. d. Bartle
who has been associate pastor. His new
charge. Grand Island. is big promotion
for him.

and the immediate vicinity includes the
following:
Dietz Memcrial-W. d. Stambaugh OF

France. England, Spain, Portugal, Italy,
Cape Colony. Canada, Cuba, Porto Rico,
Brazil and several OF the Mexican states.
The foreigners have been given an import

Rress. demonstration lasting several
minutes was made when a military band
sent here by the government Of Mexico

portion OF the morning session. which
closed with the appointment of committees.
There has been keer competition for
places on the resolutions committee to

resolutions must be referred without re-
gard and it is predicted that some effort
will be made TO inject into the resolutions
! criticism OF certain phases of the admin
! istration's forestry policy and some refer
ence to government regulation of the pub
lie domain. Nothing of political nature
| however, is likely to find favor with the
! congress as a notable feature OF the con.
| Rress in the absence Of men prominent oI
! active in political affairs and the pres
| ence Of an unusual number OF
men who are active workers in the
practical fields Of reclamation and who
make up a list of speakers of exceptiona

measures against modernism. According
to the Avanti, Cardinal Vaunuteili received
these complaints in London at the time OF
the Eucharistic congress. and transmitted
them to the pope. In the event OF Merry
Del Walls retirement. he probably will be
succeeded by Cardinal RampOlla, who for
merly held this office. Rampolla's return
to power would mean a policy OF dignified
conciliation with regard to France and an
attitude OF greater reserve toward Italy.

BEATEN By
Two Men Seriously Hurt and Their
A%ssailants in Jail.

A dispatch to The State from At
lanta says J. B. Sturgeon was badly
cut and knocked unconscious and h.
3. Sims seriously cut by eight negroes
on Saturday night.
Sims and one Of the negroes had a
difficulty over a box of rifle cartrid-
ges and blows were exchanged. After
this the negro disappeared and Sims
supposed that the matter vas at an
end. Later on. however, the negro
returned with seven friends, all well
armed with knives and sticks.
They attacked Sims and Sturgeon,
who came to his aid, inflicting prob
ably fatal wounds on the latter. Stur-
geon was unconscious but hope is en-
tertained for his recovery.
Six Of the assailants have been
arrested and bound over to await trial
and the officers are making every Ell
fort to capture the other two. This
is the elimination Of the growing
feeling of antagonism between whites
and negroes in that section.

SENATOR TILLMAN AT ATLANTA
He Will Be Treated for Nervou
Breakdown by Experts.


Senator B. R. Tillman of South
Carolina reached Atlanta at 9 o'clock
Tuesday morning accompanied by his
wife, and went at once to the Rob-
ertson sanitarium on Capitol avenue,
where he will remain for several
weeks, possibly a month, after which
it is his intention to go abroad.
A dispatch to The State from At
lanta says Senator Tillman came here
for treatment for nervous breakdown,
the result of overwork. While his
present condition is not serious, it IS
such, it is stated at the sanitariunl.
that it might take a serious turn at
any time. A reporter who called Al
the sanitarium and asked to see the
senator received word from him that
he was not feeling we'll enough to talk
now, and suggested that he return
later in the week. While he is off
but little in weight, he is exceedingly
feeble and has little of his customary
animation.
He had reached the point where a
collapse was liable almost at any mo-
ment and he determined to prevent
it if possible. While his present COM
plant is nothing more than nervous
breakdown, it is said his main object
in taking a prolonged rest is to pre-
vent a threatened attack of paralysis,
indicated by the almos: numbness OF
his left arm and a pain in his left
side. While it can not be definitely
stated now, the belief seems to be
that he has taken hold of the matter
in time and that his recovery will be
effected.

Forty-eight out of n~inety-two mem
bers of the junior class of Clemson
College and one suspended on Sat.
urday for disobedience Of orders on
April 1. The. boys left college and
went to Pendleton some miles away
on Wednesday, when they had been
commanded not to do so. They also
sent 1~disrespectful kilograms back to
several of the professors. After full
investigation the discipline committee
sentenced forty-eight members of the
junior class to expulsion and n to
suspension.
Nearly all the dismissed cadets say
that they realize that they did wrong
and that they deserve punishment.
There seems to be an absence Of re-
sentiment. In fact those dismissed
are anxious that no student shall
leave on their account or because OF
any pledge that they would stick to
the class. T. S. Allen, captain Of the
foot ball team, says that he was a
leader afr ethe affair got started
and that he has no kick coming on
his punishment. He expects to do all
In his power to keep any other stu
dent from going because Of any com-
pact or their sympathy. His sensible
