Declaring he made fake confes-
sion of wrong-doing to the Rev.

tendent, and j. C. Zeeler, president
of the Puget Sound University, for
the sole purpose of ascertaining
whether there was any Christianity
in the Methodist Church, the Rev.
A. A, Metcalf, pastor of the Mid
land Church here, so impressed the
members of his congregation with
his sincerity that they are standing
by him almost unanimously.
Metcalf and young woman who
has since been befriended by his wife.
had doubts that there was much
true Christianity in the church. Ac-
cording to their statement they
faxed confession, giving it in con-
fidence to Elliott and Zeeler and
three others. Some one broke the
confidence. Elliott asked for Met
calf's resignation. The young wo-
man is on the verge of a nervous
collapse and Mrs. Metcalf has taken
her into her home. Last Sunday
Metcalf presented his resignation to
the congregation, after bitterly de-
nouncing his denomination and DR..

While Clause Said Drainage District
Must be Established, There
Was an Oral Agree
ment
Especial to The Gate City.l

FORT MADISON, Nov. 16.-The
hearing of the Green Bay drainage dis
trict matter before the board of SUI
pervisors Of Lee county here today
was halted when attorneys for the
Green Bay farmers charged the Water
Power company with inserting jok-
er In the bond furnished to cover
costs when the original petition was
filed.
Attorneys declared that the Water
Power company, while allowing the
impression to prevail. that they were
to pay the costs of the preliminary
investigation this in reality was not
true. The joker pointed out was in
the following clause.
"Now, therefore, If the undersigned
(Hugh L. Cooper and other petition
ers) shall well and truly pay all costs
to be paid, said costs incurred by the
reason of the filing of said petition
and the proceedings Hereunder, but
If the said drainage district as prayed
for, in said petition be not granted
/ then this obligation is to be null and
void; otherwise in full foce and eff

4 When attorneys for the farmers
and the petitioners gathered before
| the board together with many inter.
ested farmers this morning this joker
I was uncovered by Attorney Frailey. 1t
( was deemed advisable to take up the
matter with the Water Power com
/ pany and ascertai.li;ig the meaning
Of the same. When this was done it
was stated that an oral agreement had
been entered into with all preliminary
the company and that all preliminary
expenses would be paid, whether the

not.

Illinois product s1l4,UoO came from

CENSUS TELLS OF
PEARLS AND BUTTONS
Musse Shell Fishing Furnishes Some
Very interesting
Figures.

Mussel-shell fishing in the United
| States has attained the proportions of
an industry since 1891. According t.
the United States census bureau, pearl
hunting has uniformly preceded
traffic in mussel shells. There have
been pearl ''crazes" in various parts
of the country for many years The
earliest excitement of the kind was in
Ohio in 1873. Other noted "crazes"
were in Wisconsin in 1889; Arkansas
in 1885; Tennessee In 1901; Indiana
in 1903 and Illinois in 1906 During
the excitement in Arkansas 10000

ing. Now there is not much pearl
hunting, but fishing for mussel shells
is followed in IL states.
The census bureau gives some sta
tistics for 1908, at which time Illinois
was far in the lead of all other states
in mussel shell output. The value OF
the shell product in Illinois in that
year was s1S4.Go0, while the value OF
pearls and slugs was $4,000. In
diana's shell product was valued at
$S1 900; pearls and slugs at $4,000.
Arkansas Iowa, Kentucky and Ten
nessee follow in the order named, but
their product is small compared with
that of Illinois. Kentucky reported
an output of 3,413,000 pounds of shells
valued at $4,000 and pearls and
slugs amounting to $4,000. Tennessee's
shells were valued at $4,000 and her
pearls and slugs at $4,000.
Illinois reported So per cent of the
total value of the shell product and
considerably more than one-half of the
value of the pearl and slug product.
The fisheries of tn, Ohio river and its
tributaries during 1908 were more pro.
