Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Oct. THE North
west Iowa conference of the Methodist
church, unlike the Upper Iowa confer
ence, is opposed to transferring pastors
from one conference TO another, espe-
cially when the fat chArges are in
VOWED, And so Bishop Bristol. oi
Omaha. resident bishop of the North
west conference, was compelled to bow
to the wishes OF Bishop Shepard, OF
Kansas City. presiding bishop, at the
annual meeting which has just closed
in this city. The case Involving the
question was that of Rev. W. II.
Spence, of Fort Dodge, who was
wanted al Cedar Falls in the Upper
Iowa conference and in whose behalf
Bishop Bristol made a special trip to
Webster City. Mr.. Spence vas returned
TO Fort Dodge, where an $4,000 church
IS to be erected the coming year.
So short on pastors IS -ha Northwest
Iowa conference that Bishop Shepard
was obliged 10 refuse a years leave Of
absence to Rev. E. S. Johnson, of the
First church az Sioux City, who wanted
10 go TO England for a years study
at Oxford University. He had his
goods all packed for the trip across
the waters but instead he has been
assigned TO the church at Storm Lake.
Dr.. Johnson is also chaplain Of the
Fifry-s sixth regiment of the Iowa Ma
ttonal Guard, and his detention in the
conference will obviate the necessity OF
naming a successor to him. II is dis
appointment to Dr. Johnson not TO be
able to go to England. but ne mas Ilea
the same isappoiutment before SO il is
not new to him. He now plans TO
make the trip next year.
Bishop Shepard first named Rev. o.
NJ. Bond. of Spencer. TO succeed Dr..
Johnson al the Sioux City First church,

sent Rev. II. E. Hutchinson, of Britt,
