ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
THURSDAY 8 MEETING.
The sixth annual session of the lowa
Conference of the African Methodist
Episcopal church convened in the St.
Janies church on avenue A, this morn
ing, and was called to order by Bishop
John M. Brown, D. D„ the Presiding
Bishop of the Fourth Episcopal Dis
trict. The lowa conference was sepa
rated from the Illinois conference in
1882, with 28 members, and in 1883 its
first session was held at Des Moines,
over which Bishop T. M. D. Ward pre
sided. Since then it has increased to
51 ministers, with 3,513 members and
a church property valued at $204,020.
The conference is composed of a fine
looking body of men who are intel
ligent and representative. The devo
tional exercises were commenced by
Bishop Brown lining the hymn,
“JESUS, THE NAME HIGH OVER ALL,”
which w as solemnly sung with congre
gational effect, which was followed by
Elder W. J. Laws and Deacon P. P.
Taylor, who prayed for all conditions
of men in general and for the members
of the conference in particular.
Deacon W. H. Coston read the 43d
chapter of Isiah, after which the ritual
service of the church was repeated un
der the lead of the Bishop in a very im
pressive manner.
After the call of the roll by L. H.
Reynolds, the secretary of the previous
conference, the election of officers was
declared in order. L. H. Reynolds was
elected Secretary, S. A. Hardison was
chosen Statistical Secretary, and Harry
Lackey, after a little contest with a
lady candidate, was elected Recording
Secretary. James Higgins of Yankton
Dakota, and Andrew Ford of Newton,
were elected marshals. The first four
scats from the chancel, running across
the church were fixed as the bounds of
the conference. The hours of the ses
sion were arranged from 9 A. M. to 1 P.

SECOND DAY’S SESSION.
The second day’s session of the lowa
annual conference of the African Meth
odist Episcopal church convened this
morning with a full attendance of its
membership. The devotional exercises
were conducted by Rev. Richard Hol
ley, who lined a familiar hymn, prayed
an earnest prayer, lead in the ritual
service, and read the first psalm as the
scriptural lesson.
Bishop J. M. Brown, D.D„
called the conference to order. In
calling the roll a question arose as to
whether J. H. W. Collins was a mem
ber of the conference, he having been
dropped and a vote of reconsideration
having upon apparently good grounds
followed. But the Bishop reserved his
decision for future consideration.
For reasons that seemed to the con
ference satisfactory, the office of re
cording secretary was declared vacant
because of the method that was used
to elect H. lackey. No reflection
or implication was Intended to
rest upon him, but in the judg
ment of the conference, it was deemed
best after a knowledge of the facts
was made known, to frown down up
on the means used, which, however
proper in other bodies were considered
inconsistent with the character of a
religious body. The name of Mrs.
Friscilia L. Taylor, who was the Beord
ing secretary last year, and who
failed of an election yesterday
was mentioned; but Elder T. W.
f Henderson speaking for her, de
clined to have her name mentioned in
connection with the position, though
it was pretty evident that the gallant
ministers from Chicago, who arrived
since the election of yesterday, would
have carried her through successfully.
Elder C. W. Newton was elected Re
cording Secretary, which was a happy
means out of the difficulty.
a. J. Burton delivered a very
able address of welcome U> the con
ference, the conclusion of which is
here subjoined:
1 am glad to say to you, birs, that
nakalooL is among the most liberal in
intniless of their sentiments; therefore,
StSfofU.is chur^«doommun-
see and feel during your stay in our
midst. Your manhood will be increased
by no mean standard here; but by that
broad measurement so fitly expressed
by the poet who said:
“Were I so tali as to reach tbe pole,
And grasp tbe ocean In a span;
Yet I must be measured by my soul.
For mind Is the standard of a man.”
We trust your influence here will be
long felt, and anticipate great spiritual
good from your presence. It is our
prayer that you may go forward trust
ing in that power whose care
“Finds its way along that pathless coast.
The desert, the illimitable air.tlone wander
log—but not lost."
Brethren, your mission is greater
than that of the queen of Sheba, who
clad imperial dignity, fixed her eyes
toward the northwest and said, to her
caravans “Begone!" Grander than that
uf Napolean who, collecting all of his
army together, said to his generals, “Go
forward.”
Some of you, my brethren, come up
from hard fields aud have seldom heard
the word welcome only as it came to
you through tears of poverty from a
fond wife or a dear child; while others
have enjoyed for years the hospitalities
of luxurious homes. We wish to ex
tend to you just as warm a welcome
and just as pleasant a home as anyone
while you are with us. We all realize
t’is not a cause of small importance
the pastor’s care demands.
“But what might fill an augel's heart
Aud filled a Savior’s hand,
W elcome, ye aged sires,
Welcome, ye young and strong.
Welcome to our hearts and homes.
For they to God belong.”
Elder W. J. Laws responded to the
address of welcome as follows:
We accept the cordial welcome ex
tended to us by brethren, by the friends,
by the members of the church and by
the citizens of Oskaloosa. We come to
them as ministers of the Lord Jesus
Christ, as servants of God, tilling the
highest positions that can be given to
man—the highest that men can attain.
We are God’s representatives. We come
here not simply to make a display of
what we have gained; but we mean to
gain an influence in the community for
God. We come here as ministers of
the Lord Jesus Christ, bearing the
message of truth to the mind of men.
We come after a year’s voyage, in the
midst of storm and tempest. We have
encountered lightnings, but we are
here. (Amen, Amen.) After having
passed through these storms, we are
glad to congratulate each other. We
want to prove a blessing to the
community while here. We come
here to leave a name for
God to write tbe name of African
Methodism upon the hearts of this
community. We want the people of
Oskaloosa to feel that God’s messengers
have been here. Ido not mean men
who simply say that they are preachers,
but I mean the men whom God makes
and sends forth to preach his word.
We want to leave an impression that
our deportment has been highly bene
ficial-leaving a moral, dignified, and
hallowed influence that we are the
servants of the Lord Jesus Christ. We
want in every step and in every move
ment to exemplify that we are men of
God, bearing the message of truth to
the world. We accept gladly the wel
come so heartily extended, and the
hospitality to the homes of the people;
but before we leave here, we want to
lay hands on God and lead sinners up
to divine truth, teaching some hearts,
some souls that they may be quickened
with understanding, bringing some
souls to Christ as a witness of the
power we have with God that shall be
mementoes of our influence for good.
May God bless you. God bless your
families. God bless the children. May
the influence of the conference go on
and on and spread wider and deeper
until the people of this community
shall come to realize that these men
are representatives of God. who are
here not only to advance the church,
but for the race throughout the world.
[Loud applause.]
The financial and statistical reports
were resumed and the following sub
mitted on account of their year’s stew
ardship which were satisfactory: T.
W. Henderson, of Quinn Chapel, Chi
cago; W. G. Reed, Bethel Church,
Chicago; P. S. Jacobs, St. Paul Mission,

Henderson, of St. Paul’s Church, Min
neapolis; W. T. H. Adison, Monmouth
and L. H. Reynolds, of St. Peter’s
Church, Minneapolis.
Bishop Brown took occasion, during
the reports, to speak of the west and
the encouraging inducements it offers
to active men and working ministers.
He related his experiences and observ
ations, which indicated what had
been accomplished, and spoke of the
splendid opportuntits that invited in
dustrious men to till the soil and en
gage in other material pursuits. The
Bishop was very happy in speaking of
the refinement and culture that he had
noted in the homes of the people of
African descent in the west, who are
giving substantial evidences of pro
gress. He advised the young minis
ters to go into the missionary spirit
with zeal—to leave the large cities, and
to plant the banner of African Meth
odism in the far west.
Elder J. W. Malone followed in the
same line of thought as the Bishop,
and urged action and self-sacrificing
devotion.
Elder C. W. Newton and J. M. Hen
derson told tneir experiences as young
men, and what they had accomplished
in following the counsel of their se
niors.
The reports were continued till the
hour of adjournment.
There will be a missionary meeting
this afternoon, after which a session
of mference will be held.

INFORMATION THAT IS NEEDED.
Certain questions regarding the tariff
have been received which may advant
ageously be answered together. One
inquirer begins at the beginning, and
atks what is free trade? His letter
shows that he needs the information.
No intelligent man uses the phrase, in
tariff discussions, as if it meant aboli
tion of all duties on imports. England
is now the only free trade country of
the world, and yet the average rate of
duty collected by Great Britain on all
dutiable imports is 69.5 per cent. In
1886 the value of these imports was
£•28,955,368, and the amount of duties
collected, £20,139,582. Nearly the whole
duty was levied on tea, tobacco and
wines, which that country does not pro
duce at all, and on spirits which it
taxes whether produced at home or
imported.
Free trade means the levying of
duties for revenue only, in such a
manner as to help home industries as
little as possible. The free trade theory
is that home industry cannot be helped
through the levying of duties on im
ports without taxing the many for the
benefit of the few. Free trade there
fore, imposes duties as far as possible
upon articles which are not products
of home industry, and omits or abol
ishes or reduces duties of a protective
character as far as the necessities of
revenue will permit.
This simple explanation makes it
clear that he who asks about the “aver
age rate of duties upon imports,” as if
that determined the character of the
tariff, is sadly in need of education. The
tariff which Henry Clay advocated was
protective, because it discriminated in
favor of home industry; that is, it pre
ferred duties which would encourage
production at home to duties whicii
would encourage no production at
home. The tariff which Mr. Mills ad
vocates discriminates against home in
dustry; it prefers duties which do not
encourage protection at home, and cuts
down or abolishes in preference duties
which do encourage protection at home.
“Whv insist that Democrats favor
free trade ?” Because it is true; because
they boast that it is true; because their
action in Congress would be simply
idiotic if it were not guided by free
trade beliefs and principles. When
British journals say that President
Cleveland uses the precise arguments
which British Free Traders have been
using for fifty years they tell the exact
truth. British journals and British
?;entlemen do not conceal their pro
ound contempt for American poli
ticians who want free trade but have
not the manhood to say so.
But “how will abolition of the tariff
on wool reduce wages in woolen manu
facture?” ask a reader. That is a
question prompted by the free-trade
theory that duties which protect do
not affect wages. Every Protectionist
understands (1) that production of
American wool must largely diminish
if foreign wool is admitted free; (2)
that many looms which are now
adapted to use American wool only
must therefore cease running in that
case, (3) that dependence upon foreign
sources of supply must close many
other mills, unless the rate of wages
here falls to something like the German
level; (4) that the redaction in duties
on woolen goods from 70 to 40 per cent,
with undervaluations of all woolens,
specific duties being abolished, would
close other mills by the thousand; and
(5) that when part of the labor in any
great industry is unemployed a depres
sion of wages in that industry is the
inevitable result.
“In what way was the country less
prosperous under the revenue or free
trade tariff of 1860 than it is now ?”
The wages of labor are now at least 35
per cent higher than they were in 1860,
and every dollar recei\pd will buy
more necessaries and comforts of life —
more of all the products of industry
taken in proportions as they are actual
ly consumed —than 81.20 would have
bought in 1860.
Murder at Albia.— Thursday Mike
Dial, a miner at Jack Oak mines, west
of Albia, shot his son, Dick Dial, in the
head with a shotgun, inflicting a wound
from which he died. The father is
fifty-three years of age. The son was
twenty-seven years of age. The follow
ing in substance is the father’s state
ment of the difficulty which terminated
so terribly: “The wife was chastising
one of the younger children, which dis
pleased Dick; he came into the room
and doubling up his fist threatened to
strike the mother if she persisted in
correcting the child. The father see
ing him and hearing his threats
tried to stop him from striking. He
then clinched and threw his father on
the floor, got him by the throat and
was choking him when the mother and
a younger brother pulled him off. He
then ran out of doors, commenced
throwing stones through the windows,
breaking the glass and scaring those
inside. The father grabbed up a shot
gun that stood in the room and pre
senting it in the direction of the son
aimed to hold it high enough as so to
shoot over his head in case it was
loaded. It went off the aim being lower
than be intended—the whole charge
lodged in the face of the man. The
father came to Albia and Is in the cus
tody of the sheriff.

FRIDAY NOTES.
New York Tribune.
Em VNcu’ATiON Day.— The colored
'p ople oi Des Muims and many visit
ing friends celebrated emancipation
d«v in a good manner Wednesday.
Many who h*d signified their intention
of attending from here failed to do so
on account of the intensely hot weath
er. The attendance and enthusiasm
however were under the circumstances
certainly matters of congratulation to
tbe management who had the celebra
tion in charge. A procession was
formed at eleven o’clock in the morn
ing and marched to the old fair grounds.
An attempt was made to carry out a
literary programme, but on account of
the heat the speakers asked to be ex
cused, and it was deemed best to spend
the afternoon in the cool shade in so
cial enjoyment. In the evening a
meeting was held in the Good Temp
lars’ Hall in the city and the pro
gramme was there carried out. Rev.
Wm. Preesley, of this city was one of
the orators of the occassion and of his
speech the Register says: “Rev. Mr.
Preesley’s speech was thoughtful and
earnest. Mr. Preesley is a good thinker
as well as a good speaker. He referred
to the difference between the condition
of the colored man now aud his con
dition twenty-five years ago and
showed the remarkable progress that
had been made. The colored people,
he said, must go on educating them
selves and their children, and the next
twenty-five years would see even
greater improvement.” At the con
clusion of the literary programme, the
floor was cleared and the time, until
nearly two o’clock in the morning, was
spent in dancing. Altogether the
whole celebration was one that will
leave good effect behind.
Alsace Clover. —The Grinnell
Herald has the following which may
be of interest to our farmers: “A
prominent farmer in the vicinity of
this city, five years ago sowed a half
bushel of Alsace clover on some high
land, which has since been used for
grazing purposes. The crop of clover
has been very productive and has grad
ually spread over thirty-five acres of
bottom land, until this season the
whole place—nearly fifty acres—is one
mass of clover in bloom, and is well
set. Where the general run of red
clover only produces one seed this
variety has from six to seven. It is
very fragrant and the bees work on it
well.”
Is Consumption Incurable?
Read the following: Mr. C. H. Morris,
Newark, Ark., says: “Was down with
Abscess of Lungs, aud friends and
physicians pronounced me an Incurable
Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption, am
now on my third bottle, and able to over
see the work on my farm. It is the
finest medicine ever made.”
Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio,
says: “Had it not boen for Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption I would
have died of Lung Troubles. >Vas given
up by doctors. Am now in best of
health.’’ Try it. Sample bottles free
at Green & Bentley’s drug store. 5
In Germany and in the northern
counties of England, the giving and
receiving of Easter eggs is a general
custom, expressive of good will, and

CHRONIC DIARRHOEA,
Can it be Cured!
There are a great many parsons
throughout the country who have
chronic diarrhoea, and have been led to
believe that it can not be cured. It
matters not how many physicians have
told you your case was hopeless, nor
how many different medicines you
have tried, without any permanent
benefit, we claim that the disease can
be cured, and aa evidence of it refer
to the following cases:
Wtandotte, Kan., June 15, 1887.
One of my customers had been troub
led for years with chronic diarrhoea. I
persuaded him to use a bottle of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, it completely cured him, and
he to day can not say enough in praise
of it. This case cited is only one of
many that have been cured by it here.
T can further say that I recommend it
all the time, as I know it is as represen
ted, and will do the work. I have been
selling it for several years, and have
never heard of its failing in a single
case, in fact, every one who uses it
speaks in the highest praise of its work.
Db. S. F. Mathek, Druggist.
I have cured a most persistant and
aggravating case of chronic diarrhoea
with four or five bottles of Chamber
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, after the party had used all
other preparations in vain. I consider
it the best made. W. A. McGonigle,
Monona, Clayton Co., lowa.
I am just recovering from a long
spell of sickness, and was given up to
die by everyone who saw me. I had
been suffering from chronic diarrhoea
and had doctored with nearly all the
physicians in Clark and Union counties.
I laid in bed for three months and sev
en days, and could not move until I
tried Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. It has cured me
and I now am in my store attending to
my business. I now sell Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
to my customers and tell them it is the
Keatest medicine ever made. All of
e people in America could not now
break ray faith in your medicine. I
would risk my life on it doing for others
what it has done for me. J. C. Stout,
Thayer, Union Co., lowa.

Foster’s Prediction’s for Aug
ust.—Not so much rainfall as in July,
but enough generally to make good
crops. Rainfall, however, will be in
spots and in some localities in lowa and
Illinois crops will suffer for want
of rain, but not to any great ex
tent. The rainfall of August decides
the question of good corn crops. The
storms will largely increase in force
and are expected to damage the corn
crops in places, as will also hail storms.
Hail storms aud tornadoes are froili
the same cause and both are expected
to increase in number and force. We
expect extremely hot weather between
the sth and 25tb, averaging much above
the normal, not continuous, of course,
as there will be the usual cool waves
following storms. We expect the prin
cipal storms to cross the Mississippi
valley from the sth to the 7th, 11th to
the 13th, 17th to the 19th, 23d to the 25th
aud 28th to 30th. These are not ex
pected to be the greatest storms of the
year but the dates should be re
membered, especially from the sth to
the 12th and 23d to the 25th.

WHAT AM I TO DO?
The s> mpiorns of Biliousness are un
happily but too well known. They
diner in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite.for liquids
but noue for solids of a morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; it it is not white and furred,
it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
of order and Diarrhea or Constipation
may be a symptom or the two may al
ternate. There are often Hemorrhoids
or even loss of blood. There may be
giddiness and often headache and acid
ity or flatulence and tenderness in the
pit of the stomach. To correct all this
if not effect a cure try Green’s August
Flower , it cost but a trifle and thou
sands attest its efficacy. 2
Keep your blood pure and you will
not have rheumatism. Asa blood puri

WARM WAVES
