Tom o'oonneII Gets Busy. 80
The decision to change from Picker
ing to Sanford as the point for the
first test we'll to be put down by Mr..
Tatum, came after Tom O'Donnell
brought to bear his persuasive powers
on Mr. Tatum and succeeded in con-
vincing the capitalist that the San
ford oil signs are in no way inferior
to those near Pickering, while San
ford, thriving bustling community,
offers the advantages Of regular sta
tion with its telegraph, telephone, ex-
press, freight and postoffice conve-
niences.

was agreed to.
Much Gas In Evidence.
Speaking of the tests made yester-

Sanford, Miss, May 19.-The straw
berry season at this place will close
with the present week. Shipments
have been at least fifty per cent be-
low what was expected in the begin
ming of the season. The late cold
spell which at the time was not
thought to have materially cut. off the
yield, was much more disastrous than
then believed.
While the yieid Of berries was much
below expectations results in other
respects wers Very encouraging. From
'n6mefous comments In trade circulars
from the United States Department Of
rXsticultdrs and from John r. Mckay.
market agent of the Mississippi A. &
NJ: College. the testimony is uniform
that Sanford berries have surpassed
those from every other section in
quality and condition when they
reached the northern markets this
season.
This has served to give the growers
here premium prices from the begin
ming of the season until now. San
ford shipments reaching the markets
this week In competition with Ten
nessee berries are commanding {
premium over those berries.
The short crop occasioned by thu
late cold has not dampened the ardo

developed today that the Methodist
church will not. after all the furror and
debate of the last three weeks, decide
upon an absolute and complete separa-
tion from Vanderbilt University, but
will continue to hold on. to whatever
rights the supreme court decided it
possessed. This is the Interpretation of
the action of yesterdays session of the
General Conference of the, Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, in referring
the majority. report adopted Saturday
night back to the committee of Is, with
instructions to redraft, the report so
as to incorporate the supplemental
resolution offered by Judge N. e.
Harris. :..
| Under the Interpretation of leaders
Of both factions, those signing the ma
jority report and those of the minority,
the supplemental legislation accom-
plishes two very important things. 1t
gives to the board of education au
thority to reject or confirm trustees
Until the commission has either sue
ceeded in the effort to deliver the
rights of the general conference to the
original patronizing conference, or
failing to deliver will represent the
general conference until the next ses
sion in any legal proceeding that may
be deemed necessary.
This shifts from the board of educa
tion which represents the church's con
structive educational work, the embar
rassment of lawsuit, and places it in
the hands of the conference commits
sion. In the eventethat any of the
conferences decline to accept the
rights which it had conveyed to the
general conference, and fails to elect
a commissioner to cooperate with the
commission appointed by the general
conference, the interests of the church
will be held by its representatives
in trust.
New Aspect In Case.
This seems to put an entirely new
aspect on the situation and every in
dication now points to the adoption
Of the report.
The instruction of the general con
ference to the special committee does
not necessarily call for a change In
the material provisions of the majority
report for incorporation OF additions
provisions. The vote upon the mo
tion to recommit the report to the com
mittee of fifteen was almost unani
nous. +--Y

to follow the spirit of the majorit!
report and the supplementary legisla
tion submitted at today's session b!

ference.

Farming is old the human race and is yet in it's

No civilization has advanced beyond it's agricul-

The beautiful fact in the farmers work is that
everything he plants is lesson in faith.
The best farmer does bother about getting ahead
of his neighbour his great business get ahead of him

We give to the people who live the farm the
educational advantages for their children those
of the cities enjoy.

TWO FIRES ON SUNDAY
But Both Were Put Under Control
Before Much Damage Resulted.

Fire at six o'clock Sunday morning
called the department to the Iowa
Valve Co. Manufacturing plant, south
Second street and Seventh avenue. A
boiler shed and coal bunkers on the
east side of the building were inyolV-
ed and a hard fight was required to
prevent the blaze from connecting
with the other parts of the building.
While the blaze was hot il is under
stood the machinery in the room was
not much hurt This being the case
the damage to the property will not
be great but the boiler room will re-
quire a new roof.
Fire was discovered at the north
end of the Central Book store lit
| tie before midnight Sunday night.
| The flames were communicated to
accumulations in an area way or air
hole and from this blazed up until the
| wood work became involved and
burned through into the inside. The
fire was seen by employees of the Doll
cafe in the same block and the fire
lads were at work before the blaze
had much of start. Damage trivial.
This is the second fire at this place
from the same cause within a short
space of time.

WANT BEST PLACE ON BALLOT
Candidates for Judges Desire "Top Of
Column, Next 10 Pure Read
ing Matter Position.

Des Moines. Aug. 17-Requests that
the nonpartisan judiciary ticket be
given the first column on the ballot
at the November election has been
made to the secretary of state by can
didates for the district aud the SUI
preme court. The petition Is so I'M
usual that Secretary Allen has taken
several days to consider the matter.
Three suggestions have been made
for the placing of the judiciary ticket.
none of which appeals strongly to Mr..
Allen. The first istthat the judges be
given the first column half way down.
the second is that the judiciary ticket
be placed in the center column half
way down, with a hand pointing to it
from two directions, the third is that
the candidates for judges be placed
at the bottom of each ticket.
To permit the nOnpartisan ticket to
have first column on the ballot. the
republican ticket would be forced in
to the second column, the democratic
to the third, the progressive to the
fourth and the socialist TO the fifth
column.
The candidates for judges fear that
they will be overlooked at the cleo
tion by reason of the nonpartisan
ticket. For this reason they wanted
the first column, where it would be
impossible to overlook them. But the
republicans do not want to give up
the first place, for fear that if the
republican ticket were placed in the
second column, some of the voters
would cast their ballot for judges and
go no further.
The democrats who have heard of
the proposed scheme also object to
it. They say they do not want to be
crowded any further away from the
first place than they can help.
The second and third suggestions
for the placing of the judiciary ticket
would be illegal, in the opinion Of
state officials. About the only con-
cession that the judges probably can
get is to have their ticket placed at
the top of the last column.
