Sioux CITY Pastor Quits.

Sioux City, May 5.-Dissension
among the members of the First
Congregational church was brought
to head last night when at meet
ing of the entire membership the
resignation of Rev. Wallace NJ. Short
was accepted by a vote of 124 to 61.
Many members did not vote.
The action of Mr.. Short in pre-
senting this resignation was brought
about by his attitude regarding the
best methods to be pursued in the
promotion of the temperance cause.
Rev. Mr.. Short signed the recent sa-
loon consent petition. He declared
in defense of his action that the
methods being pursued by the drys
to secure temperance were wrong.
His resignation will take effect Sep

national element entered into the
situation here yesterday when con-
stitutionalist bullets, fired at some
launches that were bearing provis-

mander of the Japanese warship at
once forwarded protest to General
Oregon, constitutionalist leader.
So far no concerted movement of
the constitutionalists to take Mazat-

for the present to occupy their for
titled positions.
A report has reached the Ameri-
can fleet stationed here that the con-

Hard Struggle.

Vallejo, CAL, May 25.-Fire, or
iginating after midnight in the op-
Grating room surrounding the $780,
900 cantilever crane at the Mare
Island navy yard, was put under
control early yesterday only after
the entire fire department of the
yard had responded and additional
aid was received from employees
summoned from Vallejo by the guns
of the receiving ship Intrepid.
The crane constructed entirely of
iron and steel save for the operating
room, which is of framework, stands
alongside the building slip in which
the oil tanker Kanawha is undergo
ing construction. To prevent the
spread of the flames to the slip and
the scaffoldIng about the tanker,
and thence across the street to the
gatehouse, or entrance to the yard,
kept the fire fighters busy for al
most an hour.
The origin of the fire is not
known. The damage was not esti-
mated up to a late hour.

HESS|AN FLY DOES
Great DAMAGE TO
THE WINTER WHEAT
Reports From Taylor and Ringgold
Counties Show That Loss Has
Been Heavy.

Clearfield, Ia, May 24.-The win
ter wheat in Taylor and Ringgold
counties has been greatly damaged
by the Hessian fly. Farmers are
blowing up wheat and planting the
fields to corn in both counties.
Much damage is already done in
the vicinity of Clearfield, Diagonal
Conway, and Sharpsburg, as we'll as
along and below the state line.
A representative of the United
States agricultural department drove
over the affected region on May %,
making minute investigation. He
reported his findings and suggested
remedies at public meeting at
Sharpsburg yesterday. The contin-
ued dry weather is greatly increas-
ing the damage brought by the fly.
and the only recourse for many
wheat growers will be planting of
the wheat fields to corn.

Needs Fixing.

One of our valued subscribers re-
siding near Kamrar was in the Free
Office a day or two ago
and said there was bad place in
the road about three-quarters of a
mile southwest of Kamrar that
ought to be fixed. He says the road
at that point is not very wide and
that several years ago a large tile
was put in at the side of the high
way and that the ditch has never
been filled. He says it is very dan
gerous place, as a team or auto get
ting off the road on that side would
go down ten or a dozen feet. He
thinks the board of supervisors
ought to look after this matter at
once. .-.

Outside the city the insurgent sup
porters of Essad Pasha, former min
lister of war, who a few days ago
was deported, are threatening the
existence of the new regime. Rep
resentatives of the insurgents de-
manded of the international COM

terurban proposition.

The Carlson boys of Stratford
have franchise in that town, but
will buy the juice at wholesale and
retail it to the consumers.
Jewell would have to rewire the
town and would be forced to go to
considerable expense, but it seems
that they would be glad to do some
thing so they would be assured of
continuous service.
The only reason in the world that
Ellsworth would go into such
proposition is because of the "a
hour service.
The Ellsworth Milling Co. would
use electricity for power if the deal
is closed.
Practically every place that uses
power would hook on.
The interurban people offer to
let each town tap their line and use
the Juice at Az cents per kilo watt
hour.
Ellsworth cannot manufacture
the electricity for that and of course
would be glad to let their fine little
plant stand still if they could buy
juice cheaper than they could make
it. 1t costs the interurban COM
pany four-tenths Of one cent per
k. w., to manufacture. The city
fathers and all others who can, are
urged to attend the meeting at
Stratford next Thursday.

Warm weather, with we'll distribut-

bureau last night for the first half
of the coming week.
indications are that the temper
ature will average above the normal

the Rocky mountain region and on
the Pacific slope. The rainfall will
be generally local, but we'll distrib-

states.
"a disturbance that now covers
the northwest will advance east
ward and cause showers and thun-
der storms in the northern states
from the upper Mississippi valley
eastward and locally in the Rocky
mountains and plateau regions.
Another disturbance will appear
in the far west about Tuesday, cross
the great central valleys Wednesday
or Thursday and the eastern states
about Friday. This disturbance will
be attended by well distributed
showers and thunder storms east of
the Rocky mountains and it will be
followed by general change to

Sylvia Pankhurst and Followers Are
Locked in Victoria Park by
Officers.

London, May 25.-suffragists

In soma cases received rough treat
ment from the crowds, which show
ed their resentment at the recent in
reference with the king and the
damage done to pictures in the ma
tional gallery.
Sylvia Pankhurst, who was again
arrested under the "cat and mouse
act, and her east end followers pro-
vided the biggest excitement of the
day. A great procession formed at
Canning Town and marched to Vic
toria park. On the way the women
picked up Sylvia Pankhurst, who
was chained and handcuffed to fif-
teen women and surrounded by 9TH
er supporters armed with slaves.
The police allowed the procession
to proceed, but when the park was
reached they got the militant lead
er and those chained to her into the
park and then shut the gates
against the rest of the women. TAX
en- at disadvantage, the women
put up a stiff fight, but the police
finally broke the chains and arrest
ed Sylvia. They allowed the others
to go.
Outside the gate a furious strug-
gle went on between male suffra-
gists and anti-suffragists, which the
police had great difficulty in break
ing up.
At Hampstead Heath suffragists
had to call on the police for protec-
ton against a mob which rushed
their platform with cries of "duck
them. We will teach them to insult
the king"
Many of the women chose West
minister abbey and Newcastle cathe-
dral yesterday to make church DEM
onstrations. At the abbey prayers
were chanted for Mrs. Pankhurst,
protests were uttered against the
apathy of the church in the matter
of the forcible feeding of women
and an appeal was made to the bish-
op of Down, who was preaching, "to
prevent the torturing of women" A
protest was also made against wom-
en- being turned out of the house of
God, and there were loud cries Of
Shame on the church."
The women fought against their
removal and it was a considerable
time before the disturbance was
quelled. Similar scenes were enact
ed in Newcastle cathedral, where
some of the women had to be car
ried from the edifice and then were
compelled to seek the protection of
the police from hostile crowds out
side.

VERY CHEAP RATE
FOR ELECTRICITY
Company Will Furnish Towns and
String Wires to Them, at
411a Cents.

Ellsworth News: Members of
councils all along the line between
here and Harcourt are busy now fig
uring how conveniently they can
have their respective towns lighted
by electricity, also have power, twen-
ty four hours of every day in every
week.
The interurban people are work
ing on the proposition and meet
ing will be held in Stratford next
Thursday to decide whether or not
the proposition will be feasible
one.
The interurban company have
proposed that they run a line from
Harcourt to Ellsworth. But on con-
dition that they build this thirty
three miles of line, they want to
know where near how much of the
juice will be consumed by the var
ious towns along the line.
They are not asking any town to
take more juice than they can use,
but if enough of it is not used they
can i'll afford to build line.
The only town that seems to have
any doubts upon the matter is Stan
hope. 1t seems that just now the
town is hardly in a position to wire
and if the rest of the towns on the
line will buy the juice it is proposed
to ask some of the well-to-do men
of Stanhope to furnish the funds to
wire the town until Stanhope is able
to take it over.
There are plenty of public spirit
ed men in and around Stanhope who
would be willing to furnish the
money, especially if they were paid
a reasonable per cent Of profit on
the investment.
Dayton has nothing but gas lights
and would willingly take on the in-I
