SECOND TIME IT EVER CAME WEST

General Synod rf the Evangelica' Lutheran Church to Be .

- Held in Des Moines.; ; f' A

BEGINS THE SESSION WEDNESDAY

The l.utliermi I'op-alatlon In the United Stuti-R Niiuilxr.i 7.3H0.73G—HHturj

of tligeneral N/itod Uatei | H i a ,

Ues Moir.es, la., May 2S.—The general synod of the Evange.lcal Lutheran church will convene for a ten days-session In Ocs Moines on May 29. Thin organization is one of the four general bodies into which are gathered the Lutheran congregations of this coun­try.

The Lutheran population of the United States is 7, 386,746, of which number Iowa has 382,350, Minnesota b7.r>,44a, North Dakota 109,614, South Dakota 139,884, and Nebraska 163,782.

The coming of the general synod to Des Moines will be a departure from the usual custom of the Lutheran i hurch, since only once previously has the meeting of the synod been held in any city west of the Mississippi. The only western city which has had the privilege of securing the synod was Omaha, Neb,, where it was held in 18S7. Hincc then till the sessions have been confined to eastern cities, where the Lutheran church Is stronger.

Illtttory of lli» >ynud. The history of the general synod of

the Kv;inge:ical Lutheran church dates as lar b;.ck as 1818, in which year the Initiative step leading to the organiza­tion of a general body by the stat-synods was taken by the synod ot Pennsylvania, which embraced more churches and pastors than any other synod. At a meeting of this synod it Marrisburg in 1818, It was resolved that n movement should be started to bring nil the ICvangelical Lutheran synods ill Hit- United States into closer connec­tion with each other and develop a p!an to perlect a general union.

Tlie_ first effective step looking to the organization of such a body was taken in lSltl at a meeting of the synod of Pennsylvania, when a committee was appointed consisting of Rev. Drs. F. D. Sthat. ffer, J. Daniel Kurtz and J. George Schmucker and Messrs. De-inuth, Keller and Schorr of the laity ui:d the delegate Rev. Mr. Shober to i.xainine I no the matter and outline a plan us early as possible. The plan prepared by this committee was adopt­ed by a vote of 42 to 8 and a "proposi­tion for a general union of the Evan­gelical Lutheran church in the United relates" was published and distributed ii lining all the ministers and delegates from the various synods, upon which action was taken by these several bodies and adopted by at least three-li.'urths of the synods and the president •ir the synod of Pennsylvania was ln-• tructed lo call a convention of depu­ties from all the states where Lutheran •.•'.lurches were in existence.

The final effecting of the proposed or­ganization took place at a convention held October 22, 1820, at Hagerstown, -Md.. In which the following five synods were represented: New York, Penn­sylvania, North Carolina, Maryland

ad Virginia, there being no delegate .rom Ohio present. At this meeting J. I). Kurtz, D. D., was elected the first president of the general synod and H. H. Muhlenberg was elected secretary.

Ofltcera of tlio Nynod. The present officers of the general

synod are: Rev. S. S. Breckenridge, D. D., of Springfield, O., president; Rev. \V. E. Fischer, D. D., Shamokin, Pa., secretary, and Louis Manns, Cincin­nati!, O., treasurer. The statistics of the synod show that there are at pres­ent 1,211 ministers, 1,576 congregations and 1!!9.»S9 members confirmed in the ijciicral synod alone.

The number of the district synods be­longing to the genoral synod has had a steady growth. A decennial exhibit shows the number of the synods in the union with it ns follows: ran 3 l«(i 7 IS r 0 16 IMM 26 IS70 21 IS-0 23 l-W 24 l !K0 24

The loss between 1860 and 1870 was due to the civil war which separated the southern synods from the northern, which have since been affiliated with the united synod of the south and the withdrawal of several others which united with the general council.

Dubuque. Ia., May 28.—A remarkable story of rescue from death uy drown­ing comes from Auburn, a village near iKterdock, Clayton county. An Infant

fe'l head foremost Into a ten-gallon :Toek filled with water, and when the mother discovered the little one only Its Teet were visible, and when taken out of the water it was apparently lifeless. Dr. Duflln, of Lansing, was on a sick call about a mile away, and it was nearly throe-quarters of an hour be­fore he reached the child. The heart then seemed to have stopped beating, there was no pulse, and the doctor be­lieved the child dead.

Though the case appeared hopeless, the doctor went to work. He swathed the body in hot clothes, applied bath j( water, and then caught the child's tongue, pulling and relaxing it as he Inhaled and exhaled his breath. After i time the child gasped, caught its oreath, the heat and pulse resumed 'heir action and life was restored. The

octor worked over the babe four urs.

REORGANIZE STATE GUARD.

Reported That Adjutant General lJyerj It Contderlng Sueli a l*lnn.

Des Moines, Ia., May 27.—Adjutant General Byers is entertaining the idea of entirely reorganizing the National Guard of Iowa within the next year. The projected scheme includes the for­mation of new companies to take tli{i places of those companies which fail to reach the most reasonable standard on official inspection, the changing of the company names and the designa­tions of the regiments.

While General Byers does not talk freely concerning his plans in regard to this matter, it is known In a general way that the reorganized companies in some localities are distinctly disap­pointing. Their records on inspection have been discouraging. They seem to have lost that esprit de corps which seems essential to the success of the guard.

Chattanooga, Tenn,; • May 29.—K Times special from Dayton, Tenn., says:

At the Richmond mine of the Dayton Coal and iron company, two miles from Dayton, at 4:30 o'clock yesterday af­ternoon, a terrific explosion of coal dust resulted in the death of twenty-one men, all white, and most of them married and with families. Nine others were terribly burned, most of them fatally, and four escaped with slight Injuries. There were thirty-four men in the mine at the time.

lluo to " H!ovrn Blait." The explosion was caused by what Is

known among miners as a "blown blast." It is the custom of the miners to place the blasts and fire them off at quitting time each afternoon, leaving the coal thus thrown down to be loaded and hauled from the mine the next morning. The Richland mine is desti­tute of water, and great volumes of fine particles of coal dust, invisible to the naked eye, accumulated at the roof of the mine. This dust is subject to ex­plosion if exposed to flames.

Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock a dynamite cartridge was placed in po­sition in one of the rooms for a blast, and the miners started for the mouth of the mine. Tho blast did not explode as expected, but instead a long flame shot cut of the blast hole and ignited the accumulation of dust. Instantly a terrific explosion occurred, and a seeth­ing mass of llames shot to the mouth of the mine and rose "00 feet Into the open air. The strength of the explosion caused great masses of coal and slate to fall in from the roof of the mine, and many ill-fated miners were completely buried. Word quickly reached Dayton anil rescue forces were at once organ­ized and proceeded to the mine. One by one the blackened and horribly dis­figured bodies were taken from the debris and carried to the mouth of the mine, where they were put on a loco­motive and taken lo Dayton. Scores of relatives and friends gathered at the mouth of the mine, and the shrieks of anguish as the bodies, were removed were heartrending.

The two undertaking establishments of Dayton were turned into morgues, where the mangled bodies were dressed and prepared for delivery to their fam­ilies. All the men employed in this mine were residents of Daytsn.

The Richland l ry r .e is the property of the Dayton Coal and Iron company, composed of Glasgow capitalists. The company operates an iron furnace at Dayton and operates coal mines in connection therewith.

December 2tt, 1 son. a similar explosion occurred in the Nelson mine, situated a few hundred feet from where yester­day's explosion occurred, in which twenty-eight miners were Instantly killed.

"Mr. Hunks," he said, " some of out young men are trying to organize a br&ss band. How much are you will­ing to subscribe?"

"I'll give $20," replied Mr. Hunks.-"That will please the boys,' I know,"

rejoined the caller. "If everybody else does as well they'll soon have their In­struments and be ready to begin."

"Great Scott!" interrupted old Hunks. "You don't get a cent out ol me for any such purposes as that! I thought you were raising money to buy them off!"

Where He Fell Down. Judge: The young man drew him­

self up to his full height. . "I have," he cried, "an unsullied

The young girl yawned and seemed interested.

He was quick to push his advantage. "I am the possesssor ot a town and

country house, a yacht, a stable ot thoroughbreds and a box at the opera."

She hesitated, and a slight flush be­trayed that she was listening.

"I have got," he continued with a cer­tain fierceness, "thirty servants, forty pairs of trousers, fifty ancestors, three automobiles, six prize bull pups and an army commission."

Ah! she had found her tongue at last, "And how many golf medals?" sha

lisped. The young man shuddered. He felt that be had lost. He had

played nervily and high, but she was above his limit. ,
