Not much change in Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables. Poultry and Game in light receipt. Oranges and Apples in fair local demand. 1and on which decline an extensive liquidation of th& former bull interest was reported, a slight upturn was noted, due to reports that Brazil will adopt radical measures, such as burying surplus supplies of low grades, in | order to lighten the load on the market.

LI e Mo GRAND ARMY VETERANS ARE UNABLE TO AGREE Dispute With Commander as to Time for Holding State Encamp- ment in Washington. ¢ SPOKANE, Wash., April 10.—A queer dispute is stirring up the Grand Army veterans here. The local posts wanted the State encampment held here May 26, the date of President Roosevelt's visit. Com- mander Bedell of the Department of ‘Washington and Alaska opposed the plan. He has notified the local committee that he has taken a vote of the council, re- sulting in five favoring the date and seven opposing it, and therefore the encamp- ment will not take place until June. The local officers hold that only five men have a vote on this question and these five unanimously favor the May meeting. Accordingly it is announced the | encampment will be held at that time in spite of Commander Bedell's ruling and | the veterans are making plans for May 26, 27 and 2.

By unanimous vote the General Con- ference of the Seventh Day Adventists to-day decided to make permanent pro- vision for aged and sick ministers and for dependent widows and orpnans of de- | ceased clergymen. It was voted that funds to those ends should come from the church tithes. During the discussion of the subject this afternoon A. G. Daniells, president of the General Conference, made a strong speech in support of the measure, say- ing: It is time that we should take a stand | as a denomination in this matter. There is Do question anywhere In the world regarding what should be dome in such cases as the resolution covers. But there has been a_fail ure to centralize action. We should take it | up and let Seventh Day Adventists the world | over know that we believe the tithe to De | the ordained way for this provision to be | | made. Let us ring it out through the denom- { tnation. Elder Lindsay and others supported the resolution, representing that heretofors relief had been too much on a basis of !charityA Elder W. T. Knox presided to- day. The report of the committee on educa- {tion was 'presented this morning. The | General Conference ordered a conference jof the educational department to be called and to it referred a recommenda- tion that donations for church school work be gathered throughout the confer- | ence into the State conference treasury, and that the church school teachers re- ceive their support from the conference, the same as other conference laborers. During the afternoon session the work in the Southern States received great consideration, with the result that the conference indorsed an appeal to the peo- ple for $10,000 with which to complete the | equipment of the Southern Publishing As- | soclation’s plant at Nashville, Tenn. It { | | conference should be used toward secur- ling to the association the publication of lall of the denominational work in-the i South and to solicit co-operation of can- vassing agents with the work. The conference voted to remit $7000 on account of the Keene Academy in the Southwestern Union Conference. The committee on plans recommended | ministers to give the young people’s work | their co-operation and that Sabbath- | school teachers be elected by the church. Further recommendations were as fol- lows: That the East Indlan Archipelago be a mission field of the Australasian | Conference; that a mission be estabiished | at Singapore; that the Society Isiands |and Samoan Islands be connected with | that $500 a | quarter be allowed to the mission work | for colored people in the South; that $1060 |a year be granted for medical missionary work in sanitariums for colored people; | that the conference co-gperate to raise | 53000 for Southern institutions; that the | German East African Mission be granted | the raising of $500 for that work. | The report of the committee on publi- | cation was made the special order of busi- | ness for to-morrow evening’s session. i Eilder A.

Magee accosted t| boy at Fifth and Bluxome stree When the boy took the rig to the sta- bles Lindeaur was surprised, as it did not belong to him, but he saw that it was owned by the Pacific Pine Company. He | took the boy's name and address, and | next morning notified the Pine Company, from whom the rig had been stolen on Monday morning. The boy's evidence at the preliminary hearing will be important. Magee was arrested recently for driving off with a horse and wagon without con- sent of the owner, and was sentenced to serve thirty days in the County Jail. Some months ago he was arrested for burglary, having been found in the kitchen of a res taurant on Third street, but the case was dismissed, as he claimed he entered the restaurant while drunk to cook a meal.

Prior to the shooting Messu- rler and Soren Christensen and Mrs. Christensen are said to have attacked Kit- tel, and the two men beat him over the head with revolvers. Harry B. Adams ‘and Arthur. Lang testified to having seen the wounds on Kittel's head and the blood flowing down the back ana side of his : head. Christensen also testified, but de- nied striking Kittel, and said that Kittel | was the aggressor. o The case was continued till Monday, and on application of the defendant’s attor- ney, the Judge fixed the defendant’'s bail | at $10,000 bonds.
