bride-to-be. Nancy wants your father
and me to arrive a few days before the
wedding so that we may share in the
festivities.
She tells me also that it is to be a
small wedding, "only relatives and
close friends" and that she is wearing
white satin and tulle veil.'
I'm so glad of that. One is never

Bishop Denny said.
The committee, he said, informed
him that the letter would not be
presented to the conference, but
that he should send 1t to the first
general conference of the new
church which is to meet at time
yet undetermined"
He stated in the letter that the
Methodist Episcopal Church was
formed by those who believed the
General Conference should be pos
sessed of power to require IAN ad-
herence to the particular political,
social and economic views of a
majority of the conference" The
Methodist Episcopal Church South,
he wrote. was formed by those
who denied that position
ITO become a part Of this new
church is to accept substantially
everything against which the fathers
of my church protested; is to deny
substantially everything which they
maintained. This cannot do. I
must keep my faith with the dead,
as we'll as the living, for 1t was
from those mighty dead I received
q trust which I vowed to defend"
Although the union OF the three
churches has been effected, Bishop
Denny predicted the Southern
church would continue to exist.
In Kansas City, Lud H. Estes Of
Memphis, Tenn, secretary Of the
uniting conference, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
Bishop Dennys letter was re-
ceived by the conference in the
usual way and sent to the Commit
tee on Reference, as required by the
rules of procedure.
THE committee read it with every
mark of affection and respect, but
felt the uniting conference has no
Jurisdiction in the matters which
Bishop Denny raised. therefore, the
committee returned the letter with
out bringing it to the floor Of the

KANSAS CITY, May 1.-Alf M.
Landon, a United States delegate to
the Pan-American conference in
Lima last December, will express his
views on the delicate European
situation to the Methodist uniflca-
ton conference here Wednesday
night.
The 1886 Republican presidential
nominee was pictured today by
Methodist spokesman as greatly
concerned" over the possibilities of
an European war. The spokesman

possibly suggest changes in the
Roosevelt administrations program.

Free Pulpit Asked.
Methodist last night heard a plea
for more vigorous evangelism in
their united church. Addressing
1000 delegates and townspeople, DR..
j. N. r. Score Of Fort Worth, Tex,
Said
"We need a free pulpit, free to
denounce sin and the current evils
of the day. "'' do not mean that
Methodism must indorse all the
half-baked ideas of her preachers.
- but to throttle the mind of the
church would be to throttle the mind
of Christ"
Symbolic of the healing of a ILL.,
year-old schism in the church, the
conference consecrated James H.
Straughn Of Baltimore and John
Calvin Broomf1eld of Fairmount, w.
Va, as bishops from the former
Protestant denomination. The Pro-
testants split from the parent group

Biggest Ranch Split

At last the greatest single real estate tract under
a private ownership in the world is to be broken up
and divided among the heirs of its former owner 1t
is the famous King ranch in Texas comprising l2OO,
600 acres, larger than the state of Rhode Island.
This vast estate was the personal empire Of Captain
Richard King the nucleus of which he bought from
Mexican owners in 1853 He added to his holdings
from time to time, encouraged Settlers built towns
and railroads. and raised prodigious herds of cattle
It is related that few years ago when meat pack
ers were very short of cattle and in the market for
10000 head, representative of the King ranch who
happened to be in Chicago said he could supply them
The packers We're skepcal and asked that the ranch
be wired to find out whether such large number
really could be furnished The answer came eyes; dc
you want Shorthorns or Herefords?"
After Captain Kings death in 1885, Mrs. King
managed the vast estate with the aid of her son-n-
in 1925 at the age Of a. Keberg died few years ago
hence the big ranch will be divided and the world
will probably never see it's like again.

We Must Defend Our Own

THERE are few Americans, regardless OF their per-
sonal political predictions, who will not agree
with the main theme of President Roosevelps first
message to the new Congress-
That is that the United States must put it's armed
forces into such condition that this country will be
able to resist any threat to national rights
croachments upon liberties by any foreign power
Most Americans too, will agree with the President
when he says that other than the of force
must be tried first in any situation which might
strain international relations.
But in world where force seems to be the prin-
cipal means of making other nations agree with the
ones which have the most powerful ornaments, GER
respect if we put ourselves in position where
to back up words, if it comes to showdown.
There are other means of undermining the in
fluence of the aggressive relationships and those
already in our possession.
The suggestion will doubtless be made in Congress-
and will receive much public support, that commerce
of any kind with any unfriendly nation should be
prohibited
Japan is almost facing ruin now by reason of the
threat to her silk exports, since artificial silk
superior to the natural product is just being put
the market in this country. If Japan could not buy
American cotton and other goods that nation would
be in serious difficulties indeed
And SO with Germany, Italy and other nations
which are making more less threatening gestures
toward the United States.
All Of them can be brought to terms by economic
pressure which is we'll within ability. But before
we begin to put the pressure we should be ready
to resist if they choose to fight about it.

Silver Miners
Breathing
More Easily

PHOENIX, Jan. 20-Silver miners
in Arizona are breathing more
easily because of the modification
in the Silver Proclamation, which
has just been announced by the
Treasury Department, stating that
the department will pay 64.64 cents
per ounce on all newly-mined do
mestic silver produced up to June
30, 1899, as evidenced either by
physical delivery of the metal or by
certification that the silver was ac-
tually mined prior to the expira-
ton date.
This announcement was received
by the state headquarters of the
Arizona Small Mine Operators As
sociation in answer to agitation
which was started showing the in
justice and damage to the silver
miners of the state arising from the
original proclamation which re-
quired that silver, in order to get
the government price, would have
to be actually delivered to the
Treasury Department by June 80.
The Association called to the at
tention of Washington the fact
that silver took from three to four
months after it was mined before ii
was converted into the metal and
that smelters or custom mills could
not pay any set price after March
1st with knowledge of what the
silver quotation would be when the
metal was ready for marketing
Furthermore, if the government
failed to enact any legislation ir
support of silver before the eXpira-
ton of the present law, it wa.
probable that the world price might
drop to Is cents.
Hence smelters could not take the
gamble on the future metal price
and had no alternative except tt
refuse to pay for silver in ores un'
til they actually received settle
ment or possibly pay nomina:
advance of Is cents an ounce with
an adjustment later if they were
able to sell at higher price. Either
action would probably shut dowr
every silver producer in the state
! by March 1st and throw thousands
of men out of employment. ..
This situation was promptly re-
lated to the Washington author
tiles, and to members of Congress
who are from silver producing
states, with the result that the
proclamation was modified. Certi-

The R. G. Edgen Company, To-

the new 1899 models this week and
they are now on display at the 206

already been made and installa-
tions completed on some of the
new models.
1--WE are in a very advantageous
position said Mr.. Edgell, lowing
to the fact that we did not carry
over a single refrigerator from last
year, therefore, every model shown
on our floor is a 1899 model. And
our service organization for 1899 is
in better shape than ever before
and we regard service of equal i'm
portance to sales and merchandise.

The 1889 Outlook

NEARLY all economists agree that unless some un-
foreseen upset occurs there will be at least mod
crate improvement in business during 1889, although
the first three months are likely to remain about sta
tionary.
While government SPEEDING of borrowed money will
continue to stimulate business, the national debt will
reach more than Al billion dollars during the next fs
cal year The number of unemployed, now still about
10 Millions will show decrease during 1889, but
will remain most serious problem. Unemployed re-
lief will continue to be the greatest single item Of
expense
The United States News predicts that strikes will
increase in number compared with last year. and that
the farm problem will continue to be unsOlved, al
though farmers will receive digger and better sub
Sides
Leading observers do not expect European war
this year, but Germany and Italy will continue to
press for further territory, and may obtain added
concessions without fighting for them.
Stormy debates are expected in Congress over gov
ernment spending national defense and wide range
of domestic and foreign questions but is too early to
predict the outcome of these important controversies
Isn't it grand to have Congress in session again?
