ADDITIONAL LOGAL MATTER! Get Your Office Su % Baptist Church Dedicated. A new Baptist church, one of the finest in the north half of the state, was dedicated last Tues- day evening at Park Rapids, and the occasion was a notable one in church circles. The dedicatory services were attended by a large crowd, the local pastor and many ministers from outside points participat- ing, including Rev. Broomfield of this city and T, Millikin of Laporte. There was a balance of but $2,000 left of the total cost of the church ($10,000) when the ser- vices began, and before the bene- diction was pronounced, the re- maining amount due was pledged and the churchis free from debt. Revs. Broomfield and Millikin returned from Park Rapids last evening, Rev. Millikin stopping in this city over night and going to his home at Laporte this morning, Dick Hawkes Arrested.

[From the American.] Blackduck has been in the throes of an epidemic of the meas- les for two weeks past and the di- sease is still pursueing its vic- tims. Owing to the numerous cases the primary department of the village school is closed this week. Prof. B. C. Cook superinten- dent of the Blackduck schools, while visiting at one of Irvine’s camps last Saturday captured a curiosity in the shape of a star- nosed mole (Cordylura) As these are quite a rarity Prof. Cook bas decided to send it to the Fayette, Ia,, University.

Beveral valuable dogs have died supposedly from the effects of poisoning the past week but where they got the poison is a mystery. Some are of the opinion that poison set out for wolves by trappers may be re- sponsible for the mischief while others maintain that some in- dividual, anxious to see the num- ber of dogs running at large, re duced, is responsible. Those losing valuable water spaniels are R. T. Praught, A.J. Moon and E. N. Smith. The Pendulum, Honors are belng stolen from most of the great men of former days.

Senator Knox Asserts Thers Is No Ground for Such Action. Washington, Feb. 15.—Senator Knox made an address in the senate during the day in support of Senator Smoot’s title to a seat in the senate as repre- sentative from Utah. He strongly op- posed the report of the committee on privileges and elections, which favors ousting Smoot. He insisted that noth- ing short of a two-thirds vote of the entire senate membership could un- seat the Utah senator. Mr. Knox insisted that Smoot should FIRST TO LEAVE SHIP CAPTAIN OF WRECKED STEAMER LARCHMONT DENIES CHARGE OF COWARDICE.

He should not be expelled even if he approved polygamy, as the sen- ate should not go out of its way in de- feating Utah’s choice. Mr. Knox argued that there is no federal law against polygamy or po- lygamous cohabitation applicable to Utah, Subject to the limitations im- vosed by the Constitution, sald Mr. Lnox, the states are left untrammeled In thetr right to choose thelr senators. “It is an easy step after the first one is taken,” continued Mr. Knox, “be- cause of a man’s religion, to take the next and logical one of exclusion be- cause of a man’s politics and then be- cause of his notions upon economies and then because of his attitude to- ward certain legislation. FOUR CHILDREN CREMATED. Father and Eldest Child Escape by Jumping. Bridgeville, Del, Feb. 15.—Four children of I. Johnson, ranging in age from two years to ten, were burned to death in a fire which destroyed their home. The family was asleep on the second floor when fire was discovered. The flames had gained such headway that only Johnson and his eldest child managed to escape by jumping from a second story window. Mrs. Johnson was at the home of a neighbor when the fire started. WILL ABIDE BY DECISION NICARAGUA AND HONDURAS SIG- NIFY WILLINGNESS TO ARBI- TRATE DIFFERENCES. Washington, Feb. 15.—Dispatches received by the president from the presidents of Nicaragua and Honduras give assurance of the maintenance of peaceful relations between those two countries. In response to the joint note of the United States, Mexico, Guatemala and other Central Amer- ican countries both presidents have signified their willingness to agree to any step which may be taken leading up to the submission of the questions in dispute to an arbitration court and SEVENTY-ONE SO FAR RECOV- ERED, BUT MANY PERSONS ARE MISSING. Providence, R. I, Feb. 15.—A new element was injected into the horror attending the loss of the steamer farchmont in Block Island sound Sonday night through a collision with the schooner Harry Knowlton when Captain McVey of the steamer admit- ted that his lifeboat was one of the first, if not the first, to leave the sink- ing ship. in reply to charges by Fred Hiergsell, an eighteen-year-old lad of Brooklyn, one of the survivors, that the passen- gers were left to shift for themselves; that the ship’s crew crowded the boats without attempting to provide for the passengers and that Captain McVey was the first to desert the ship. The statement of young Hiergsell created a sensation, in view of the fact that ten of the nineteen survivors were em- ployes on the ship, or, in other words, that while approximately 20 per cent of the vessel’s crew was saved only 8 per cent of the passengers survived. Captain McVey explained that while his boat may have been the first in the water it was because he had a good crew and that he remained by his ship until she went down. He said that he made no move to get into his boat until he had given orders to his men to lower all boats and clear away the rafts. The captain’s boat was on the windward side and he said that he called to the passengers to jump into his boat, which would hold about twonty-two people in all, but the elec- tric lights had been extinguished and in the darkness and confusion none heeded his summons. Known Lost Number 138. The number of known lost in the frightful calamity stands at 138. At least 157 persons were known to be on the steamer and there is every in- dication that the number was nearer 200. Seventy-one bodies had been recovered ‘up to 8 a. m. and forty-nine of these lie in the morgue in this city awaiting identification. The stream of persons that passed through the morgue looking for missing relatives or friends did not cease until after midnight and at that time thirty-eight of the dead had been identified. Many to abide by the decision. GERMANY IS IMPATIENT. Turkey Delays Punishing Official on Kaiser’s Demand. Constantinople, Feb. 15.—Growing impatience is manifested at the Ger- man embassy here owing to the delay of the porte and palace officials in connection with the demands for the punishment of Fehmi Pasha, chief of the secret police of the palace, whose punishment has been demanded as a result of his seizure of a ship’s cargo intended for Hamburg, which consti- tuted an infraction of the penal code. It is understood that if the Turkish authorities do not accord satisfaction to the embassy within two or three days the German ambassador will pre- sent an ultimatum, which, it is hoped, will result in a speedy settlement of the dispute. SIMILAR TO THE COLONIES. Ireland to Be Given a Legislative Council. London, Feb. 16.—The first official Information of the lines on which the Irish bill will be framed was con- tained in Thursday’s parliamentary papers in which appears a notice by Augustine Birrell, chief secretary for Irelang, of the intention of the govern- ment to introduce at an early date a bill to provide “an’Irish council and for other purposes connected there- with.” This seems to confirm the forecasts to the effect that Ireland will be given a legislative council similar to that of the crown colonies, partly elected and partly nominated. DEMANDS REVISION OF TARIFF. Memorial to Congress in Wisconsin Legislature. Madison, Wis., Feb. 15.—Assembly- man Ledvina, Republican, has intro- duced a joint resolution calling upon congress for immediate revision of the tariff. Assemblyman Palmer, a colored member of Milwaukee, presented a Joint resolution on the discharge of the colored troops at Brownsville, Tex. His resolution commends the president for activity and zeal in pre- serving discipline and the good name of the army, but asks complete in- vestigation of the affair by congress. Germany Gets After Anarchists. Berlin, Feb. 15.—As a result of the recent discovery of anarchist leaflets printed for distribution in the army | the government has ordered a search of the lodgings of all persons through- out Germany who are known to hold | anarchistic opinions. Three anarchists were arrested here charged with pro- voking soldiery to rebel agsinst the luthurltle;, ekl SR persons were early on hand to file once more between the long lines of the dead and every train brought more people on the mournful quest. The survivors at Block Island are reported “as well as could be ex- pected.” The weather has moderated and is clear and mild. The sea has gone down and there is scarcely a breeze to ripple the surface of the water. Passing ships may pick up bodies and at other shore points along the sound a few corpses may be cast up, but the lifesavers do not anticipate that the list of recovered bodies will be much lengthened until the hull of the Larchmont is blown up, for it is known that many passengers and some of the crew perished below decks. CONTRACTS READY TO SIGN. End of French Church and State Dis- pute at Hand. Parls, Feb. 15.—M. Briand, the min- ister of education, is observing dis- creet silence relative to the negotia- tions between Mgr. Amiette, the coad- jutor archbishop of Paris, and the pre- fect of the Seine, M de Selves, on the subject of the modified contract for the lease of the churches. It is known, however, that drafts of contracts prac- tically identical in substance already have been exchanged, with only ver- bal differences separating the nego- tiators, and it is possible that the par- ish priests of Paris and M. de Selves may exchange signatures before the end of the week. - The draft drawn up by Mgr. Amiette requires a priest who replaces another priest at the head of a parish to present to the mayor of the district or to the prefect a notifi- catlon bearing his bishop’s seal, where- upon the mayor would accept the new priest as a legal successor to the old. Some of the advanced Socialist or- gans are manifesting irritation at M. Briand’s attitude, but as a whole the press of all shades of opinion is ex- pressing the heartiest satisfaction at ,the prospect of an end to the religious dispute. Showman Bailey’s Will Upheld. ‘White Plains, N. Y., Feb. 15.—Surro- gate Millard of Westchester county has ordered, that the will of the late James A. Bailey, the circus proprietor, be probated and that his property be fistributed as directed by the will. Mrs. Bailey will now ‘receive the en- tire estate, as the will and codicil of the testator call for.

Sam Davis of Nevada once made & wager that he could successfully imi- tate the style of any living or dead poet and do it so thoroughly that the difference was not discernible and that the public, the press and the critics would not detect the fraud. As a re- sult he wrote “Binley and 48,” to which he signed F. Bret Harte’s hame, The fake was put out in a Publication { known as the Open Letter. It describ- ed an engineer who tqok his tram through & snoWstorm in the Sietras, dy- ing at his post. From the Atlantie to the Pacific the poem was copied. “Binley and 46” was given a full page In Leslie’'s Weekly, with a portrait of Bret Harte, and described as “the best short poem of the decade” It was many years before' Mr. Harte denied its authorship. The poem has since been incorporated in several books of popular recitations, uotwithstanding Binley freezes to death beside a roar- ing locomotive furnace, with 150 pounds of stcam up and two cords of wood within reach.—Success Magazina, No Surprises In Dreams.
