Superintendent Haskell, in his report con-
corning the Ellsworth charge, said:
"The East Maine conference is convened
in this church building and entertained
in this city because of the untiring zeal
and intense energy Of the pastor, Rev.
William Forbes Emery, Phi. D. DR.. Emery
came to Ellsworth one year ago. He
found an unfurnished church building,
even the grounds were ungraded. The lot
is graded, the basement finished, the
building painted, the interior furnished,
floor carpeted, pews installed and the
work completed. Oct. II, 1908, Bishop
John W. Hamilton dedicated this prop
erty, worth $4,000, to the public worship
of God. The pastor deserves great praise
for bringing this enterprise to splendid
contamination"
District Superintendent Phelan's refer
ence in his report to apparent unjust
a. compared to mission conferences in the
western states in the distribution of aid
by the American Board OF Home Missions,
caused Q ruffie Of animated discussion in
which Bishop Wilson participated.
Bishop Wilson said the money was dis
tributed by q committee which endeav-
ored to be impartial, but which took into
consideration the difference in local con-
ditions and cost OF living, citing some IN
stances.
District Superintendent Phelan replied
that the conditions OF some pastors in the
East Maine Conference were not much
better than in some OF the cases cited by
the bishop. II the pastors in Arizona suf-
fered from the heat, those in Maine had
cold to contend with. In Aroostook
county he had driven miles over roads
blocked ten feet deep with snow and with
the Thermometer fifteen below zero.

Plant Diseases in Maine !.


In bulletin 1854 of the Maine experiment
station Orono, several topics are dis
cussed which are ofspecial interest to the
fruit and potato growers and to the
general farming and forest interests as
WE'LL Observations and experiments
upon variety OF lines Of plant disease
work are recorded, among which are
the following:
The continuation OF an experiment in
Aroostook county shows that while linz
ing is exceedingly beneficial to the grass
and clover crops, even q moderate applica-
ton OF lime to the soils in that section
leads to a considerable increase in the
amount of scab on the potato crop, even
after three years in grain and grass. Two
successive crops OF potatoes on lined soils
after two years in grass showed an alarm
ing increase Of scab on the second year
CROP
The relation of weather records to win
ter injury Of fruit trees and its practical
bearing upon what varieties Of apples are
safe to plant in given locality is treated
in some detail, and it is shown that the
peculiar ''crotch injury" Of apple trees,
SO common in the summer of 1907, is prob
ably form of winter injury or .sfrost
patch".

tainment afforded the conference in

The choir for the Sunday services was
composed OF members of the local choir,

inpromptu organization, the singing was
excellent.
Bishop Wilson delivered a powerful
Easter sermon on "The Program and the
Promise Of Cod, taking his text from
Matthew % $500. He said: 81 hear men
talk sometimes as though the old gospel
was out of date need new prophet
The little gathering of fishermen to whom
Jesus talked did not know as much about
some things as we do to-day, but as to the
fundamentals of life they knew as much
as any Of us here. AS TO the great essen
tials of life. the great promise Of immor-
tality, l would be quite as willing to
accept what that little Jew, Paul, had to
say, as Of any man of o-day.
AT the afternoon service DR.. John de-
liversd stirring sermon on "Fire-proof
Conviction, taking his subject from the
miracle of the three men saved from the
fiery furnace. He drew comparisons be-
tween convictions as opposed to whims,
opinions, purpose, obstinacy. The SER
mon aoounded in striking comparisons
and crisp, telling epigrams.
The sermon was followed by the ordina-
ton OF deacons and elders by Bishop Will
son. William K. Patterson, of yanceboro,

Two mobs formed at o'clock this
morning bent on lynching VIII James, the
negro suspected of numbering Anna Pelley
but were dispersed by Chief Of Police Egan
and Detective Casey.
"a telephone message warned the chief
that a mob had formed at Thirty-fourth
and Commercial streets and was starting
toward police headquarters. chief Egan
and Casey started out and came upon a
crowd of $50 men at Twelfth and Poplar
streets. They were ready to start to the
jail Chief Egan made a speech to the
crowd telling them he was not convinced
that the negro under arrest was guilty and
called upon them to disperse.
"Then the crowd began to waver. The
chief approaching the leader who wore a
mask, tore 1t from his face and ordered
him away. The rest scattered.
by that time the crowd from Thirty
fourth street, numbering about thirty, had
reached police headquarters, but lacked
leadership. Chief Egan talked to them
and persuaded them to leave. A force of

POSSIBLE DEAL WITH LIBERALS
Peerless One Said to Be Willing to

SLAP AT THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
His Proposal of Ex-Governor Francis
of Missouri for President Evil
IDENTIFY Not TO Liking of
MIR. Bryan.
From a Staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Nov. 10.-(Special.)- j..
Bryan held conference at the Lincoln
hotel this afternoon with Mayor Dahlman
of Omaha and Judge Edgar Howard Of
Columbus. Governor Shallenberger was
not at the conference.
While the read object Of the meeting
as not dvulged, it is believed the sub
sect under discussion was a platform for
The democratic party to make it's campaign
on next year.
That Governor Shallenberger was not In
vited to such a conference is easily ex-
plainable, inasmuch as he has already ex-
pressed himself the subject of a plat
form That took place when c. w. Bryan,
speaking for W. ]. Bryan, proposed that
the presidential candidate be permitted to
write a county option plank and thus
make the race for the senate on that
plank.
! Governor shallenberger emphatically re-
fused. He preferred that the democratic
party stand squarely on the o'clock
c.osing law.
All the afternoon there was much specu-
latlon regarding the conference and the
deductions of those who tried to get the
facts was that Mr.. Bryan was trying to
make some pact with Mayor Dahlman and
the others who oppose county option rather
! than force them to stand for It,
If the democratic convention leaves
county option out of its platform and the
| republicans do the same, then Mr. Bryan
| could go ahead for the senate advocating
county option, and thus while the mayor
| lined up the liberal element he could line
| up the temperance vote, as has been done
before.
Another reason for the failure of the
| presidential candidate to invite the gov
ernor may be that the governor has pro-
| posed the nomination of former Governor
| David r. Francis of Missouri for presi-
dent. Whether Mr.. Bryan took that as a
slap at him of course Mr.. Bryan has not
made public, but anyhow the governor
! was not at the conference
! Late in the afternoon Judge Howard
called at the state house and paid his re-
spects to Governor Shallenberger
Everyone knows where I stand on the
senatorial matter" said Judge Howard.
! II am first for Mr.. Bryan, and we all are.
But II Mr.. Bryan will not make the race,
then I am for w. H. Thompson. I make
no bones about that, and everyone who
knows me knows that"
The Columbus editor met the governor
just as he was leaving the state house,
and the two went back into the executive
office for a private conference and to dis
cuss what had been gone over at the Bryan
conference.
