Conference Notes.

The presence of the venerable DR.. A..
L. Cooper at the Conference is like pre-
cious ointment poured forth. Every
where he is regarded with atfectionate
reverence, and the older men unite with
the younger in looking upon him as the
"St. John of the Conference, as he has
been so aptly styled by Rev. A. j
Hough, the poet laureate of the body.
DR.. Cooper is in better vigor than a
year ago, and his many friends in his
old parish at Island Pond unite with
those of the rest of the state in wishing
him an increasingly happy old age.
The number of aymen at Conference
this year has not been as large as on
some years. The geographical location
of the seat of the Conference, and The
expense in time and money to attend
may account for this, to some extent
However, quite a number of anxious
Pulpit Supply Committees were much
in evidence interviewing the Dstr ict
Superintendents and Bishop in an effort
to secure what they think will be fol
coming year. Invariably they put uI
the plea that conditions are peculiar

Mrs. Hyde Makes
Will in Favor of
Her Husband
Prosecution Will Attempt to Show
that This Action Was at the
Doctors Suggestion.

KANSAS CITY, March lit developed
yesterday that during the trial of DR.. b. c.
Hyde here next month on a charge of
poisoning Colonel Thomas H. Swope, the
prosecution will attempt to show that fol-
lowing a suggestion made to her, Mrs.
Hyde made a will bequeathing all her prop
erty to her husband. Under the will of
Colonel Swope, Mrs. Hyde was a bene-
ficiary to the amount Of more than $500, 900.
The will alleged to have been made by
Mrs. Hyde, the Swope attorneys say, was
drawn up soon after DR.. Hyde's dismissal
from the Swope home, where he had been
treating the Swopes. In the trial of Dr..
Hyde an attempt will be made to show that
Mrs. Hyde was taken seriously i'll; that it
was suggested to her that an operation
might be necessary and that it was also
suggested that she make her will leaving
her property to her husband in the event
that the operation was not a success. Later
it was found, the Swope attorneys say, that
the operation was not necessary.
It is said that John c.. Paxton related the
story of Mrs. Hyde's will to the grand jury
that indicted DIR. Hyde. In e. L. Stewart,
a bacteriologist of this city, will be one of
the principal witnesses for the prosecution
on this point during the trial Of DR.. Hyde,
1t was said today.
Miss Pearl Kellar, the nurse, who at
tended Colonel Thomas Fl. Swope, in her
deposition today told of the manner-in
which she administered the s%trychnine in
lection given to Colonel Swope, she said, at
DIR. Hyde's direction.
When DR.. Hyde told her TO give Colonel
Swope a sixtieth of a grain of strychnine,
she said she broke one tablet containing a
thirtieth Of a grain in two pieces and gave
one OF the pieces, a sixtieth of a grain, in
solution, to Colonel Swope, She was sure
she took a thirtieth tablet from her case.
She administered this injection twice, GER
tainly, and possibly a third time, she said.
Lucy Lee Swope and Margaret IL. Swope,
nieces OF Colonel Swope, also gave their
dispositions today.

Fatally Wounded
and Money Taken
Assault on Men with Pay for Coal
Miners in Eastern Ohio Rouses
Portion Of State.

PITTSBURG, March 1.-Two paymasters
of coal companies were held up today in
different sections OF eastern Ohio and were
robbed of sums approaching $1,000, and as a
result of the attacks one man is dead and
another may die. The country is much ex-

an attempt to catch the ~hlghwaymen.

ter Coal company, and Robert Pommering,
an assistant, left this city for the mine of
the company at Brilliant, O. They carried
in a satchel $4,000, the weekly payroll Of the
mine. While driving to the mines from the
train two men overlook them and beat
them into insensibility, and escaped with
the satchel. Farmers found the two men
lying beside their buggy and sent them to
the Gill hospital at S~teubenville, o.
The coal company Immediately sent out
officers with bloodhounds, and offered a
reward of $1,000 for the capture of the rob-
bers.' Pommering tonight is reported as
being fatally hurt, while Mccain is in a
critical condition.
Hardly had the excitement quieted down
when another holdup was reported from
GAINESVILLE. George Evans, aged 60, pay
master of the Muskingum Coal company,
was shot from ambush at Buckeye, ten
miles down the river from GAINESVILLE, and
died at IL o'clock tonight. He was robbed
of 81, 900, the weekly payroll of that COM
pany. Evans was walking from the COM
pany office to the mines half a mile away.
A posse is searching that section of the
country, and b~loodhounds, too, have been
put into use.

tory Here.

Omaha is gradually but surely coming to
the front, not only by her bank clearings,
hog prices, ETC., but as a manufacturing
city. You would probably be surprised IL
you took your auto out and made a trip
around the city and took pains to stop
and examine all the places where you
heard the hammer, saw or lathe at work
to learn how many things are actually
made and marketed from Omaha. AS an
illustration. the manufacture OF screens,
different from the old style, put up by
mailing the wood together, but by having
metal corners so your screen is almost in
destructable and once the house is screened
and doored It lasts almost forever. This
firm ia the Omaha Window Screen COM
pany, located at 64 North Sixteenth street,
and they claim to be the only exclusive
house devoted to this kind Of work in the
