Jubilee Methodist Convention Adopts Strong Kesolut ons on the Subjeet, CEDAR RAPIDS, la, Aug. 16.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—At today's session of the jubilee Methodist convention addresses were made by Rev. Mr. Gardner of Schaller, Rev. Mr. Fleming, Cedar Rapids; Hon. L. M Shaw, Denison; Rev. Mr. McGee, Cedar Rev. Mr. Wickersham, Atlant Shipman, Coin; Rev, Mr m, and Rev. Mr. Kynett of phia. At tonlght's meeting Chapla Cabe of New York, who failed to arrive last night as expected, delivered an address on “Missions." Bishop S. M. Merrill of Chicago alsu spoke. at tonight's meeting. The reso- lutions commitiee reported at noon, the report belng unanimously adopted. On the prohiibition question the resolutions say~ We rcafiirm the position so steadfastly maintained by the Methodials th liquor traffic is so perniclous to honest trade, so repugnant to our moral sense, so injurious to the peace and order of society, so hurtful to the homes, to the church and to the body politie, and so utterly antagonistic to all that is precious in life, that the only proper attitude toward it for Christians | of relentless hostility. In our judgment the saloon is an unmixed evil, full of diabolism, « disgrace to our civilization, the chief cor- rupter of political action, and we deplore and deprecate all acts of the last general smbly out of harmony with the above principles and aflirm that no member of this church should sign a petition in any sense tending to legalize the saloon. We favor the enforcement of the restrict- ing features of the mulct laws when such has been adopted in cpposition to cur ctive «fiort and believe the state should ake as much interest in the enforcement of its temp ce laws as it does in the enforce- ment of the fish and dairy laws.” Lives Boy F CEDAR RAPIDS, Ta, Aug. 16.—(Special Telegra The Bee.)—While helping with the threshing on the farm of Joseph Fuhr- mann, near Livermore, John Waite, the son of the Presbyterian minister at Livermore, and some young companions began pushing cach other off the straw pile. Waite was pushed off and struck a pitchfork handle, which entered his body about six inches. The wound is a fearful one and his recovery is not expected. Laughed at Howard's Charges DUBUQUE, Aug. 16.—(Special ~Telegram to The Bee.)—John M. Bgan is here tonight cnroute to St. Paul. He laughs at the charge of Howard that the general managers incited the burning of railway property in Chicago. He said he was out of the railroad business, but would answer Howard in due time and stood ready to respond to the call of Cleveland’s commissioners. = Shot In the Knee. CARSON, Ia, Aug. 16.—(Special to The Bee)—Last night, while cleaning a revolver, a young man named Storms was accidentally shot, the ball entering the side of the knee and ranging downward. The doctor was un- able to find the ball. Tragedy Narrowly Avolded. HAMBURG, Ia., Aug. 16.—(Special to The Bee.)—Samuel Chaney, the proprietor of a hotel at Riverton, Ia., attempted to shoot a man here today for having eloped with his daughter. He was disarmed and a tragedy avoided. MEASURES FOR RELIEF. BROKEN BOW, Neb, Aug 14.—To the Bditor of The Bee)—The article entitled “Prepare for Rellef at Once” in your issue of the 13th was read here with a great deal of interest. The propositions therein ad- vanced of organizing aid socleties for the purpos: of requesting contributions and of building irrigating ditches for the purpose of furnishing _employment for the needy will not meet the exigency that exists. There is an absolute failure of all kinds of crops in many counties of the state. This, following as it docs the almost entire failure of last year, leaves thousands of people entirely without means to sufport themscl es and p o- cure sced for another year. The proposition to vote bonds upon the counties with which to construct ditches cannot be carried when submitted to a vote of the people, for the reason that a very small part of any county could be irrigated or benefited thereby. With teams in poor condition and grain and hay exceedingly high, the greater amount re- ceived for work upon the proposed ditches would necessarily g0 to pay for feed and board, and little would remain with which to provide for the families and- procure seed. During the winter months little or nothing could be done upon ditches. A considerable time would necessarily be occupied in voting and selling the bonds, making surveys, etc., 50 that winter would be here before the work could be begun. As to the proposition of receiving contri- butions, that Is too uncertain. The people will not rely upon it. If that is depended upon many portions of the state will be de- populated before winter. There is but on way by which the emergency can be met, and that is the calling of an extra session of the legislature at once, which, when it has met, should provide a law whereby the countles 'may vote bonds, from the proceeds of which the commissioners may directly pro- vide aid and seed to those who are in nced of the same. This law might provide for the sale of nccessaries and seed to those who are unable to help themselves, and tak- ing of their notes therefor, and making it the duty of the county authorities to collect these notes in the future where possible, and when 5o collected, the proceeds to be applied to the payment of the bonds. If this were done at lcast 50 per cent of the notes would be paid. Ald would thus go directly and speedily to those who need it, and more good, we submit, would be accomplished with'a given amount of money than by any other plan. At a meeling of the citizens of this county recently held a committee was appointed to present petitions to the governor requesting him to call an extra session of the legislature at once for the purpose of enacting some such law as that above suggested. These petitions will be presented to the governor upon the 17th of this month, and it is hoped that people of other counties who believe in the necessity of an extra session will also present their petitions to the governor at the same time or soon thereafter. We ought not to ask aid and contributions from other communities 50 long a8 we are able to care for ourselves, and if we but have the author- ity of law we can in this way take care ot ourselves. CITIZE e SAME OLD STORY, MADISON, Aug. 16.—To the Editor of The Bee: In the World-Herald of Tuesday an extract from a letter written by J, H Mackay was published, claiming that at the dimocratic caucus held in this precinet on the 11th inst. the administration democrats were beaten two to one.

Stone of Pennsylvania and passed upon by th Louse providing for consular inspection abroad for which Senator Hill's provisions to_exclude anarchists were subatituted Tho agreement in sight is one for consular inspection and Senator Hill's plan to ex- clude anarchists.

He Sold Her a Harmless Drug Instead of Poison. Agnes Rothmiiler, a' 16-year-old girl who came here a short time ago from Crete, Neb., seems to have more than her shars of sor- row. Yesterday she thought that her burdens had become too many and attempted sulcide. Within the last six weeks death has be- reft her of both parents and an only brother, leaving her without relatives or home. She came here to work and finally secured a po- sitlon with some farmer living near town. Her duties, according to her story, were enough for three women, let alone a young girl. She became disheartened and came to Omaha Wednesday. After a weary and un- successful search for a place to work she concluded to end her sorrows by taking pol- son. She secured a small quantity, but her strange actions caused the druggists to re- fuse to sell her enough to produce death. She went into Sherman & McConnell's and the clerk bicoming suspicious put up a harmless drug and gave to her, which she swallowed on going out of the door. An officer took the girl to the police station and she was turned over to the care of Matron Cummings, who succeeded in getting her to relate her troubles. It was thought that the girl had become dem:nted, but Dr. Towne, who examined her, says that her mind is all right, but that she is suffering a severe at- tack of despondency. Agnes will be held until a good home can b secured for her and attempts will be made to keep her cheered up so that she wiil for- get her sad situation. —— DECLARES THE WILL VALID. Judge Baxter Decides the Father Ryan Case — Contestants Will Appeal, County Judge Baxter yesterday afternoon passed upon the Father Ryan will case, hold- ing that the document was legal and en- titled to probate, it not having been secured by undue influence. Notice of appeal was at once given by the attorneys for the con- testants, and the matter will g to the dis- trict court. Father Ryan had been a priest of the Catholic church for upwards of forty years, and during that time he had accumulated property worth something like $40,000. When he died it was discovered that some months prior to his death he had left a will in which he had bequeathed all of his property, with the exception of some $8,000, to the church, leaving this latter amount to a Mrs. Lamb, a sister. As soon as the will was filed for probate some nicces and nephews instituted a contest, alleging that the disposition of the property to the church was secured by undue influence exerted by the bishop and others in authority. e Soclal Happenings at Kxeter.
