An Appeal from the Drouth Stricken Region of Nebraska. Mindf.n, Nebraska, Sept. 1, 1894. At a meeting of the Presiding Elders and Preachers of the West Nebraska Conference, called to consider the question of present and prospective destitution among the preachers of the Conference of the drouth-stricken region, the following brethren were selected to constitute a Relief Commission for the Conference: Rev. James Leonard, P. Elder of North Platte Dist.; Rev. C. A. Hale, ll l.lri.gn Diqf • Rpv v—■ L.mIUI, Kearney Dist., Rev. (). R. Beebe, Secretory of the Conference, and pastor at Minden; Rev. R. I). Black, pastor of First Church in Kearney; Rev. G. F. Cook, pastor of Trinity Church in Kearney; Rev. Reuben Randolph, Paxton, Neb. James Leonard was elected President, C. A. Hale and Erastus Smith Vice-Presidents, O. R. Beebe Secretary and G. F. Cook Treasurer. It was deemed advisable to issue an appeal to the church at once. Help For The Prkacheiw Os West NEBKABKA CONFERENCE. To the Methodist Episcopal Church: The wide region of country covered by the drouth and swept by the hot winds of the present season, embraces the entire area of the West Nebraska Conference. The western part of the Conference was greatly injured through the lack of rain during the last year. Greatly shortened crops resulted. Many of our brethren felt the pressure keenly through the last fall and winter. All hoped it would be better the present year. These hopes have not been realized. On the contrary, the dry condition of the present season falls like an appalling calamity. The reduction of salaries has been below the point of comfort during the Conference year just closing, many receiving less than , |_i ,J I. • -» - 1 - “ frw*** of father, mother and little ones. Now one-half of the above amount can be obtained for the coming year. In some instances the support realized from the charge will not exceed $75. The cost of living will be greatly increased, as everything for man and beast to subsist upon must be shipped into the country. Much of the fuel for the winter’s use has heretofore been sup--1 plied from the fields, which are now bare in many 7 instances as the public highway. Coal is always high, and ‘ corn is already higher than at any former time. [ Sixty-five charges must have help or their brave pastors will be driven ‘ from their fields of labor. The r- , mounts required will vary from SIOO to what may be deemed a meagre sup--3 port. i Braver, truer and more heroic men , than these never toiled in the fields of Methodism.

See bills. The editor of a paper in a small town in southern Indiana says: “We're mad; confound the people! How can they expect us out here, 12 miles from a railroad, 25 miles from a river, millions of miles from heaven, about two feet from the devil and 200 yards from a whiskey shop, to get out a live paper?’’ An Elkhart resident, while in the bosom of his family the other night, was handed a letter to read, the wife not having the envelope. Not having his glasses handy he turned it over to the partner of his joys to read it for him. It was a sad mistake to do this, for the letter was from a certain widow and asked for financial assistance. That household is not now needing any ice. The number of men who mysteriously disappear and don’t know how they got there is growing quite large iu these latter days, it has, in fact, assumed the proportions of a fad. If a man is short in his accounts, or dissatisfied with his wife, or indisposed txx pay Mo debts, or falls in love With ! another woman he mysteriously disappears. If not found the mystery • remains a neighborhood wonder for - years, but if he turns up somewhere he is utterly unable to explain how he got there. These stories have a very i gauzy appearance at times.—South Bend Sunday News. Points for Advertising - In advertising be sure you say what 1 you mean. Don’t pay for space, and then waste 1 it by running a poor ad. The power of hypnotism lies in a cleverly displayed ad. There is no legitmate business that cannot be benefited by advertising. Don't be too ready to adopt new ( methods of advertising; be a little con- , servative. Experience tends to confirm the ' opinion that success in the commer- ’ cial field today lies in advertising.— Printers Ink.
