DEs Moinks, Ia., Sept. 18.—|Special to the BeE.]—The Des Moines conference of the Methodist ¥piscopal church, which has been in session the past week, and closes to-mor- row, has attracted considerable attention from the character of the men composing it, and the prominent interests involved. This conference takes in the central and south- western portion of the state, reaching from Des Moines to Council Bluffs and south to the Missouri line. The session of the con- ference this year has been singularly free from any disturbing contests, the question of prohibition which in times past always sufticed for a lively argument, being appat- ently settled about right, according to their notion. There 1s one noticeable featura about this as about all Methodist confer- ences—it i3 made up almost entirely of re- publicans. In other denominations the cler- gymen may be democrats or nothing at all, but Methodist preachers, as a rule, are fight- Ing republicans. The venerable Dr. Reest, of Cincinnatl, who is the secretary of the Freedman’s Ald society. is a good instance. He declared, in speakine of the work of his soclety in the south, that when he located a school or college tor the colored people, he always planted it if possible on the site of some rebel fort. Thut is one of the revenges of history, which southerners, thirty years 8go, would never have dreamed of. AN UNIQUE CASE. A druggist at West Liberty has racently prosecuted and convicted a “party who ob- tained liquor from him by making false statements as to its intended use. 'The case 18 80 unique thst it called forth a letter of congratulation from one of the commission- ors of pharmacy. What is needed just now 18 u great many more prosacutions of this kind. ‘U'lere are too many drug stores that sell lh‘nor to anybody, preserving only the form of compliance witi: the law, but practi- cally violating its spirit with impunity, The last legislation, when it entrusted the entire business of s«lhnx liquor for legitimate pur- poses to the druggists, was assured that they would guard the privilege with honor. So the law provided that lnrllun(s for liquor must make an application over their own names stating which one of the four legiti- mate purposes was the occasion of the sule. This nn'u is limited to medicinal, mechanical, sacramental and culinary, an it is the presumption of the law that ever: one who buys liguor at the drug store gets | for one of these four uses. But an examina- tion of the records of applications will dis- close among the frequent signatures at such gluan the nmames of such eminent proii- itionists as 8t. John, Finch, Governor Lar- rabee and others, Such yiolation of law is of course winked at by some drugzgists, who are contented simply to go through the mo- tions of obezlnu the law. And while the majority of the applications are aileged to be for medical purposes, druggists often know that applicants are lying. ‘The conviction and punishment of one violator of the law of this kind may have a salutary effect, and there is abundant need of many more cases of the kind. RAILWAY COMMISSION'S NEW SECRETARY. The secretary ot the railway commission, Mr. E. G. Morgan. has resigned, and Mr. W. W. Ainsworth, of this city, has been chosen as his successor. Mr. Morgan has been with the commission for many years and had coma to be regarded as state authoiity on rallroad questions, but failing health com- pelled him to give up the work. Mr. Ains- worth, a'inuch younger man, is the present secretary ot the jobbers’ and manufacturers’ union of this place, a Yery progressive, en- terprising JOUk Efs. and & good selection for the new work. T'he Iowacommissioners, by the wn{“gld good service for western in- terests In meeting at Minneapolis before the inter-state nllmy commission. They made a very strong and able plea for the re- tention of the car load rate and for g\tvln' o of lowa are much pleased with the prompt and efficient co-oneration which they receive from their rallway commissioners on all such public questions. LOCATION OF SCHOOL HOUSES, ‘The state superintendent of public In- struction has made several decisions lately on questions as to the proper location of school houses. One case in particular from Wright county was %mw luteresting and will be followed probably as a precedent. An attempt was made to have a coanty school rcmoved to a village to accommodaie better nine-tenths of the children who attended it. Some of the patrons opposed the ch.ange, but the majority favored it.” The superintendent makes a nice Lttle argument, show that other things being equal, the school, if there be but one in the district, should be kept in the villace. He points out the fact that the farmer usually has business in town every ay, and if the weather is bad, can carry his children to school, while for the parent in the village the case is generally the very oppo- site. So taking into consideration the temp- tatlons of the village for starting children to decide toward bad habits, he Is {A!t oblige that it is better to put the school where the people or a majority of them are. A MULHATTON CANARD. It is amusing sometimes to watch the gkrowth and development of a yarn that, starting as a bit of gossip, tinally attaing the proportions of a tull grown lie. "One of the kind now in ifs travels over the state and other states as well, is to the effect that “'there are over 10,000 victims of the ovium habit in lowa, according to the official statistics of the state board of health.” The state board of health have said so, and have no statistics on the subject. There was once a doctor who read a paper in the hearing of of the board and volunteered the rough guess that there were 7,000 opium eaters in lowa. He probably knew as wuch about itas lie does about the “inhmbitants of Mars. But his guess started the story, an1 it has kept going il now Jt1s beine used in the east as an argument u}nlu.\l prohibition, on the ground that the prolidition of one vice drives wen Lo make a hobby of avother, % HE BIG DISTILLERY. The friends of the big distillery still keep up hope, despite the rccent decision of the supreine court. ‘The attorneys for the distil- iery have secured from Judge Adams, of the supreme court, a writ of error, on which they provose to take the case to the United States supreme court. There they hope for a re- versal on the gronnd that the suppressiou of tho distillery is an attempt to interfere with Inter-state commerce, and so beyoud the power of the state legislaturer, e Testifying Against His Father.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18,.—[Special Tele- gram to the Brg.|--There is going to be some interesting back talk abour the late in- ternational medical congress when the ma- terial is at hand. ‘Three years ago, on their return from the congress at Copenhagen, Dr. Billings, of the army, and others organized a committes mainly representing the north- eastern states to manage the congress just held. 1his committee made a request to the American medical association in recognition of the latter which Dr. Billings has since re- gretted, and the association enlarged the committee, putting a number of western and southern men on. Then the original and self-constituted committee resigned en masse. There is evidence that some of these gentle- men did all they could to prevent European physicians of eminence from coming to Washington. Dr. Annandale, one of the ‘most eminent practitioners of Edinborough, was stopped just as he was on the point of starting for the late congress, by a letter from an American physician, assuring him that the congress would certainly be a failure and that it was not worth while for himto come. The London delegate, who did come, told several of hisassociates in the congress that he had seen not one but several letters written by Dr. Billings himself to eminent English physiclans, vredicting the failure of the recent congress and dissuading them from coming. Some of the gentlemen Who were active in managing the congress are now trying to get possession ot these letters, which, they say, were nrnhuhlsy sent todigtinguished physicians all over Europe, and if they get them they will be published, with the” result of creating much music in the medical profession. The congress is generally deemed to have been very success- ful, but the absence of leading physicians and surgeons of Kurope was conspicuous, and doctors who were friendly to the con- gress think it was (llsres{vecmll for the Amer- ican physicians to exert themselves to make the American meeting of the congress a failure, Sacretary Bayard Denifes the Story.

An examination of his trunks was made by Appraiser Smith, who found no dutiable goods therein.

Ex-Uongressman Starin Thinks He Would Be a Strong Candidate. NEW}] YORK, Sept. 18, —[Special Telegram to the BEeg.| — Ex-Congressman Jjohn H. Starin was asked to-day if it was true, as re- ported, that he is in favor of Chauncey M. Depew tor the presidency. “Yes,” he replied, *'I think Chauncey De- pew is the strongest and most popular man in the republican party to-day. He is able, affable, dignified when dignity is required, and full of fun when merriment 1s the order. He will be one of the stron:est men before the republican enational convention and I am beginning to feel that he will be nomi- nated with great unanimity. Why, sir, he is a more popular man than you have any idea of—popular with the masses, with the hod- carrier, with the man with a shovel and pick, rlv‘lm.wlll thirow up his hat and hurrah for m.” ‘*What reason has a hod-carrier or the man with the shovel and pick to throw up his hat for Mr. Depew. He has never done much with the shovel and pick, has he?” “Mr. Depew is a poor man and is as plain and approachable to-day as he was when n struggling boy at Peekskill. The fact of his being a rairoad president will notcount azainst him. Blaine 1s a smart man, but it is discouraging to f" into a presidential cam- paign with apologies for your nominee, KEd- munds I have known benomll{ for a num- ber of years. Depew would get thousands ot the votes of New York state which Edmunds could not expect to get.” . Al Henry Georg: Income.

In this great yalley of the Vlatte, and be- tween the highlands and thousands of cultis vated farms whose fields of small grain wave and twist like the waters of the sea under the gentle trade winds. The landseape ot clustered timber. great pasture lands and fat herds of cattle, the glistening of the broad waters of the river in its winding, and the mamy thriving. bustling little towns and cities, give the wanderer new thoughts and interests him in the prosent and future pros- veets of the wonderland.

I look upon the establishment of the stock vards and its surroundings of packing hou nd other allied interests as having increased the value of Nebraska lands on an averaze of $5 per because of the fact that those facilities have made a grent growing and certain, market for all inds of llve stock, and this opens up a source for the sure and profitable disposal of all grain _and grass that can be raised. Even an eastern man knows the value of a sure and certain market, ‘There may be, and I doubt not are, many other advantages that all Nebraska derives from 1ts metropolis, Omaha, but the one I cite is ampie to con- vinee the people of Omaha that their efforts are becoming recognized. 1 beg that they, in turn, will also recognize and credit the fact that the balance of tle state is of vast importance to them and to their city, Omaha's interests are in many ways the interests of Nebraska.
