MISS SKOGLUND A BRIDE Well-Known Seamstress in West End Is United in Marriage with Axel Christenson. From South Bend, comes, announcement of the marriage yesterday of Elmer Ellsworth Mangold former photographer in Moline, to Miss Matid Irene, daughter of Mrs. Martha R.

Case of that city. They are to be at home after October 20 at 201 East Dufcail avenue in South Bend. The bride is declared to be a charming and cultured young woman. Mr. Mangold has been In South Bend for the last two and a half years, has been doing well there, and it is said has made a fine reputation for himself in the city, where everyone likes him and his artistic photographic work.

Mr. Mangold for years conducted a photo gallery on the site of what is now the Jericho drugstore stand on Fifteenth street; later he was In Rock Island, also in Denver and Lead-ville in Colorado. In Colorado he was associated with T. M. Jones, who was his predecessor in the photo business in Moline, and who be remembered by old-time Moliners.

Mr. Jones went from Moline to Grand Junction, years ago, and went into the banking business, in which he flourished for a long time, then came to financial grief. Then he went into the photo business again, and it was something of a coincidence that his successor In Moline should have gone in with him. Jones again made good in hi3 old business, and he is now prospering in Colorado, while Mr. Mangold is likewise prospering In Indiana.

REPRESENTATIVE IN CITY Americans Are Beginning to Develop the Northern Part of Luzon Tobacco and Corn Are Crops.

A representative of the Philippine Plantation C. H. Hilbert of Manila, was in Moline Saturday in conference with local, implement and vehicle manufacturers with reference to the shipment of farm implements to the plantation which his company will soon develop. Mr. Hilbert is vice president of this company, which intends to introduce up-to-date American agricultural methods into the development of a large plantation in the extreme northern part of Luzon, the island on which Manila is situated.

The plantation comprises 40,000 acres on the Rio Grande which flows northward through the province of Cagayan to its junction with the Cagayan river. This river empties into the Pacific on the north coast of Luzon and at its mouth is situated the city of Apar-ri. Aparri will be the port for the plantation, and goods will be shipped to the United States, and goods can be received entirely by water. Chief Crop Tobacco. Tobacco will be the chief crop on the plantation company's land, although it plans to raise a little corn also.

At present the land in that portion of Luzon is only cultivated by the most primitive methods. The great portion of the agricultural Implements that are in use are the manufacture of the natives and are accordingly crude, and even those implements which have been shipped to the Philippines are not at all up-to-date. As soon as the necessary paraphernalia can be gathered at the plantation, cultivation will begin in accordance with the most modern and approved methods, and the most up-to-date implements will be used. The plantation company is backed by American capital altogether and has its headquarters in San Francisco. The officers of the company are all Americans and the superintendent and assistants who will be put in charge of the plantation will be Americans familiar with modern methods of culture in this country.

North Luzon a Rich Country. The northern part of the island of Luzon is believed to be a rich conn-try, but an absence of transportation facilities has heretofore prevented any development of it. The plantation in which Mr. Hilbert is interested lies about 200 miles north of Manila and is as yet unconnected by railway with the capital. Water transportation makes the development of this particular piece of land possible, but the" entire north country will have railway connections with Manila and its great harbor before many years.

At present the railway reaches over 100 miles north of Manila and it is constantly being extended. The country in the north of Luzon is more or less mountainous, and its height above the sea makes It a comparatively healthy country In which to live. This project of the Philippine Plantation Co. is among the first by Americans for the agricultural development of northern Luzon. The company has been organized for about a year, and the purchase that is at present being made of implements marks the last step before beginning active operations.

F. Anderson, D. on "Education" Pastor Craine Dal i vers Sermon. The annual reports of presiding elders were presented to the Central Illinois conference of Methodists at Abingdon yesterday. The leading feature cf the session was the address by Rev.

S. Cumming. "Evangelistic" Rev. J. H.

Ryan, Pontiac. "Our Debt to the Itinerant" Rer. Thomas Doney, Macomb. "Recollections and Reminiscent" Rev. Henderson Ritchie, Council Grove, Kan.

The conference was organized in September, 1856, at Peoria, and for some time was known as the Peoria conference; later was changed to Central Illinois. At time of its organization there were some 4,000 members in the churches inside the conference jurisdiction; there are now more than 35,000, or nine times as many as then. When the conference was held in Macomb in 18C0 the great presidential campaign was on. The ministers took a vote on president, and of the nearly 200 present but two voted against Abraham Lincoln. Every other vote was cast for the great emancipator.

In the same year the great controversy was held over the tobacco question, against the ministers using tobacco in any form. There was a fierce debate, but "against tobacco" was carried, only 18 voting on the minority side of the question. It was some time after the Central Illinois conference put Its ban on preachers smoking or chewing, before it was put into the "discipline. The conference led all others in voting at its meeting in 1SC2 requesting President Lincoln to issue a proclamation freeing the negroes. The secretary of tie conference, and nearly the only one voting against the measure, was John P.

Brooks," a man with secession proclivities. He refused to engraft the resolutions in the minutes or proceeding or send them to the president The fifty-first session of the conference was opened at Abingdon Tuesday with an address by Rev. Robert Forbes, D. of Philadelphia. Bishop Hamilton of San Francisco also spoke.

The day was spent In the examination of applicants for the ministry. Five young men took their first examination. Charles Taylor, of Fourteenth-street fame, and William Bertsch, not quite so well known, were taken before Magistrate FranJt Gustafson "this afternoon on charges of disorderly conduct. The two men were fighting yesterday afternoon." Taylor drew a fine of $6.80. and Bertsch paid $2.80.

Taylor was not 'able to pay his fine and he was locked up. Night school at the Y. M. C. A.
