The services vyesterday were beautiful and inspiring all through. | The church had been beautifully | decorated for the occasion, and the | the bank of Easter lilies and other flowers above the deep - green bank of balsam madea nice effect. The morning service was attended by a very large congregation, taxing the seating capacity of the church to its utmost. The special music was beautiful and the choir, composed of nine young ladies, all dressed in| white, delighted the audience with their music. In the evening was given one of the best praise services that was ever heard in this city. All who took part in it acquitted them- | selves in so commendable a manner that to mention one would be to mention all. The chorus of seven- teen voices showed training and the work on the music which was of a high order and very difficult. The audience was far beyond the capacity of the church and many, having no room even to stand, had to turn away. The services were such as to be long remembered, and many were the people who spoke in ‘ apprecia-| tion of the work of the organist, Mrs. Andrew Warfield, and the director, Miss Dora Hanson.

Dated this 20th day of April, 1908, GRAHAM M. T(}RHANCE.k Clerk. Easter Services at M. E. Church. [communicaTeD. ] The Easter services at the Method- ist Episcopal Church, were success- ful in every sence of the word. The house was filled with expectant and happy people at both the morning and evening hours for public worship and it is the general testimony of those present that the services were most helpful and inspiring. The choir had made special prep- eration in the selection of Easter music for the two services, the selec- tions being most tasteful while the prayer and praise service. this number were four traveling men Sundaying in the city. These “drummers” were back again at 10:45 for the preaching ser- vice, staying for the Sunday school at 12, one of their number teaching the Bible class and another a young men’s class, and at 7 o’clock in the evening were on hand for the Epworth League meeting, with their number increased to five. They all “spoke out in meeting” too. One of them, Mr. Whittom of Minneapolis, known as the Drummer Evangelist, made the prayer at the 8 o’clock service, following. These men belong to the traveling men’s organi- zation known as ‘““The Band of Gideon,” which in the last few years has grown from a trio who were accidently thrown{together for a Sunday in the little town of Boscobel in Wisconsin to a society numbering thousands, and with an organization in almost every state in the Union. It is a part of the movement of the the time that has enlisted active business and profes- sional men in Christian service. To meet such men and to know them in personal life increases at once any person’s faith 1n the goodness of God and the goodness of humanity. At least three of these men testified in young people’s meeting that they had come to Bemidji Sunday feeling happy and efficient renditions of the various numbers, solos, quartets and anthems, charmed the auditors. The musical program in the evenind was not only a service of sacred song but was felt by all present to have been a sacred service of song. Much credit is due to all those who par- ticipated in the singing for their contributions to the success of the sesvices and to the joy of the Easter day. At the morning hour the pastor delivered a discourse upon ““The Meaning of the Resurrection.” No comment is necessary other than to say that a goodly number of the congregation expressed themselves as happy in the discovery of a new meaning in the resurrection. The evening address was a short and pithy sermonette upon a kindred theme: the glory of Christianity as revealed in an enlarged hope of personal immortality. Mr. Deniston holds himself to the new school of theological ~thinkers. .And he certainly has had opportunity. both in university training and in previous pastorial relations, to know the tenets of that school. He does not believe that the world has outgrown theG ospel of Jesus Christ but, rather, that the world is just begining to come into a fuller understanding of that Gospel whose spiritual truths are in their very nature eternal. He i preaches that Gospel with no un- certain sound, yet in the light of modern thot perceives it and pre- sents it a sufficiency unto the spirit- ual needs of people living in the twentieth century. These FEaster addresses were characteristic of his méthod. At the close of the morning service five adults were received into the fellowship of the church, two of them receiving Christian baptism at the hands of the pastor. The union prayer . service in the morning at seven o’clock, led by Rev. McKee of the Baptist church, was attended by some forty Christ- ians who thought enough of Easter to lose an hour or two of Sunday morning sleep for the privilege of a the following prices private families.

FARLY END EAPECTED Russian Foreign Office Keenly In- terested in Frontier War. FLOODS DELAY OPERATIONS Incident of Particular Importance Be- cause It Is the First Occasion for the Application of Russia’s Right to Preserve Order in Persia. St. Petersburg, April 20.—The for- eign oflice is keenly interested in Russia’s little frontier war in Persia. It is the first occasion to arise for the active application of Russia’s rights, under the Anglo-Russian agreement, to interfere to preserve order in North- ern Persia. The operations themselves are considered of minor \importance and they will quickly come to an end s0 soon as the subsidence of the floods permits the movement of the Russian detachments. Russia counts upon the hearty support of Great Britain and expects no interference on the part of any other power. The foreign office has no further news of fighting. The Russian com- mander telegraphs that the Persian inhabitants along the frontier have abandoned their villages and fled to the mountains. The Russian detach- ment is still in Persian territory. AGAIN ATTACK RUSSIANS. Persian Bandits Concentrate in Force at Belesuvar. Tiflis, April 20.—The situation on the Persian frontier arising from the activity of bands of marauding Kurds has not materially improved. The Persian bandits, who retired into their mountain fastnesses after their first successes against the Russians, again concentrated in force and renewed their attack against Belesuvar. The Russians countered with energy and their artillery bombarded several vil- lages in which the brigands had taken shelter. The Russian comimander has received orders to disperse and en- tirely wipe out the brigand- bands. Reinforcements are being sent in to him from Baku and Lenokran. The expedition that went in from Baku found its flanks to be menaced by the brigands; it therefore occupied points in Persian territory in order adequately to protect the line of com- munication. In addition to the losses previously reported the Russians have had seven soldiers killed. The Russian commander says in a report that the Persian authorities have lost their heads entirely and that anarchy reigns in the district. Private Kills a Sergeant.

BRYAN MEN FEAR STAMPEDE Uninstructed Delegates Numerous in lllinois Convention. Chicago, April 20.—New turns of the Democratic kaleidoscope have de- veloped a situation that caused the state leaders to ponder seriously on the chances for a stampede at Spring- field next Thursday that might line up Illinois for Governor John A. John- son of Minnesota. Reports from down state indicated that the Minnesota ex- ecutive was exhibiting remarkable strength and that\the anti-Bryan men would be at the convention in suffi- cient numbers to make a stubborn fight at least for the sending of an uninstructed delegation to Denver. The developments that indicated to the eyes of the weatherwise a possible stampede toward Johnson were: Kane county Democratic committee at Geneva adopted resolutions endors- ing both Bfyan and Johnson and gave its delegates no instructions. The meeting was strongly for the Minne- sota man. Coles county Democrats at Mattoon, after two hours of wrangling, declined to endorse Bryan and elected seven- teen delegates without instructions. John P. Hopkins returned from Eu- rope and was asked to attend the state convention and to introduce a John- son resolution. Reports from down state indicate that many counties will have unin- structed delegates at Springfield and that they will make a strong fight against instructing the national dele- gates for Bryan. CONGRESSIONAL PROBE. Cannon’s Latest Plan to Fight the Paper Trust. ‘Washington, April 20.—In the event the attorney general does not show that something substantial has been done to prosecute the paper trust as a combination in restraint of trade, providing the pending inquiry shows it is operating in violation of law, congress may go into the trust fight- ing business on its own account. Speaker Cannon and Chairman Payne of the ways and means com- mittee contend that the tariff has nothing to do with the high price of print paper; that if the scarcity of the raw product is not responsible for it then the fault lies with the paper trust, which, by combining factories and regulating the output, holds the prices up to suit itself. The speaker does not intend to rush into the trust fight, but he may offer a resolution providing for a searching inquiry by a congressional committee into the operations of the International Paper company. This inquiry, if held, will touch upon the sources of supply, the methods of manufacture and the man- ner of distribution of the products of ‘wood pulp. HOBSON VISITS PRESIDENT Announces That Fight for a Big Navy Will Go Right On. ‘Washington, April 20.—“The fight for a big navy will go right on,” said Representative Richmond Pearson Hobson of Alabama after an interview with the president. “No battle was ever won or lost on the skirmish line; we have only just begun. 1f John Sharp Williams had not made the matter a party question in the house there would have been many more Democratic votes in favor of four battleships. The question of a big navy is broader than party.” Will Recommend a Divorce. New York, April 20.—The report of Referee David McClure, who heard the evidence in the suit of Mrs. Al- fred G. Vanderbilt for divorce, is ex- pected to be filed with the supreme court shortly. It is believed that the granting of a divorce will be recom- mended by the referee, whose report will have to be either confirmed or disapproved by a justice of the su- preme court. Governor Johnson in Kansas. Lindsborg, Kan., April 20.—Gov- ernor John A. Johnson of Minnesota and C. G. Schults, assistant state su- perintendent of public instruction of that state, have arrived here from St. Paul and were the guests of the fac- ulty of Bethany college. They ad- dressed thousands of people who are here to attend the annual Messiah festival conducted by the college. Eulogize Morgan and Pettus. ‘Washington, April 20.— Eulogies were pronounced upon the late Sen- ators Morgan and Pettus of Alabama in the sehate and many of the leaders in that body, Republicans as well as Democrats, joined in voicing a senti- ment of love-and esteem for the two senators whose notable characteris- tics marked them as men of unusual abilities. Alleged Murderer Cremated. Seneca, Kan., April 20.—James Lally, charged with murder, was burned to death in a fire which de- stroyed the jail here. When the fire was discovered the sheriff found Lally unconscious in his cell and carried him out. He is believed to have set fire to his bed with suicidal intent. The other prisoners were rescued un- harmed. Kills Wife in Jealous Rage. Coxsackie, N. Y. April 20.—Pre- sumably in a jealous rage because his wife, aged about twenty-five years, de- clined his offer toward a reconcilia- tion Burton Whitebeck, aged about thirty years, shot and almost instant- Iyckilled her as she was about to en- ter her home here. Whitbeck then went to the barn and shot himself. FRENCH LOSS HEAVY Defeat' Force of Berbers and Ar- abs, but Victory Is Costly. ATTACK WAS UNEXPECTED Casualties Aggregate One Officer and Twenty-seven Men Killed and Ten Officers and Ninety Men Wounded. Enemy Left Many Dead on Field. Colomb Bechar, Algeria, April . \— A French column posted on Talzaza hill, which commands the plain of Tamlet, was attacked fiercely by a 'numb_er of Berbers, who, with nomad Arabs, have been concentrating for some weeks past on the western fron- tier of Algeria. Although surprised the French force rallied and fought desperately and not only beat off their adversaries but pursued them for six miles. So hot was the pursuit that the Arabs, in their headlong flight, abandoned their dead and wounded. Several green flags of the prophet also fell into the hands of the French. The French victory was -costly. Twenty-eight men, including an officer, were killed and 100 men, including ten officers, were wounded. The losses were greatest in the foreign legion. The Berber losses were much heavier, no less than 125 dead bodies being found by the French troops. The French pursuit was stopped by darkness. STATE POLICE ON THE SCENE Will Protect Street Car Strikebreak- ers at Chester, Pa. Chester, Pa., April :\—The three troops of the state police which were ordered to Chester by Governor Stu- ert because of the street car strike have arrived here. They will make their headquarters in the car barns of the Chester Traction company at Thirteenth and Edgemont streets, which will also be turned into a tem- porary prison. The troopers, it is said, will search all suspicious per- sons for firearms, prevent crowds con- gregating and protect the cars of the company if an attempt is made tc resume traffic. About 200 private de- tectives employed by the company also went on duty and will co-operate with the state police. In addition to these the sheriff of the county has about 200 special deputies in service. DRAINAGE PLAN KILLED. Important Decision by Wisconsin Su- preme Court. Madison, Wis., April .,—The su- preme court has handed down a de- cision which in effect makes impossi- ble the forming of a drainage system out of 35,000 acres of land known as Horicon marsh on the ground that drainage of the district would inter- fere with Rock river as a navigable stream and would' disturb Hustis Ford lake, included in the petition. The decision affects about 150 prop- erty owners in the vicinity of Horicon, who in 1904 signed a petition asking for the formation of a drainage dis- trict. A commission was appointed and made a report favoring drainage. The circuit court confirmed the report and an appeal was taken, the supreme court reversing the decision of the lower court. WEDDED IN A BUGGY. Rochester (N. Y.) Preacher Marries Young Couple by Arc Light. Rochester, N. Y., April 4—John H. Creslin of this city and Miss Ivy Da- vis of Beaver, Pa., were married here while standing in a buggy on' the street. The young couple met with the Rev. Harvey L. Grimes, who was out walking, and produced the mar- riage license, which the preacher read by the aid of an arc light. There were no witnesses and after waiting a short time Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hayes, who were out stroll- ing, came along. They agreed to be witnesses and while Creslin and Miss Davis stood in the buggy under the arc light Rev. Mr. Grimes performed the ceremony. Creslin and his bride then drove away. ITALIANS DRIVEN FROM TOWN Thirty 'Foreigners Forced to Leave Clinton, 1. Bloomington, Ill, April . —Thirty Italians who have been employed by the Illinois Central at Clinton were driven from the town by a mob who intimidated them with a fusillade of shots from guns and revolvers. There has been much indignation against the Italians since Mayor Edmundson re- ceived a “Black Hand” letter threat- ening his life. The Italians were charged with its authorship. The rail- road has been employing the Italians to the alleged exclusion of several hundred American born residents who were unemployed. The authorities have been unable to secure any clew leading to the arrest of the men com- posing the mob. LOSSES ARE VERY HEAVY No Further Danger From Flood in .Montana. Helena, Mont., April . *—Danger from the flood which came as the re- sult of the bursting of the Hauser Lake dam Tuesday is now regarded as past. A careful survey of the sit- uation indicates that the losses will be higher by far than at first esti- mated. The Great Northern is the chief sufferer, twenty-two miles of its track having been washed out. It will take ten days to repair this and in the meantime it will be necessary to close the Boston and Montana smel- ter because of failure of ore supplies from Butte. Tenth Body Recovered.

Springfield, 111, April —The mine operators of Illinois refused to pay shot firers employed in the mines and say that if the miners do not consent to bear this expense they will shut down their mines. The mat- ter is being conmsidered in joint con- ference. . RECEIVER IS APPOINTED. Big Brokerage Company in Financial Trouble. Cincinnati, April 20.—Application for the appointment of a receiver for the Cdell Brokerage company, one of the largest concerns cf its kind in the country, was made in the state court kere by atlorneys representing the company. Rumors of financial diffi- culties have been current locally for several days, but the company was declared to be in good shape except for one or two large deals still unset- tled at the time of the last reorgan- ization of the concern. The applica- tion for a receiver was in the inter- est of the company and for the pro- tection of its business. Thomas J. Cogan, attorney for the company, was appointed receiver and gave a bond for $10,000. The applica- tion was filed by the attorney in the name of John M. Scott, holder of 300 shares in the company, who says the concern is indebted to him for $7,300. Receiver Cogan says that the com- pany is capitalized for $250,000, all paid up, but that it has for some time been short of cash for carrying on its business, which fact was the direct cause of the receivership. Another Cut in Steamship Rates. New York, April 20—The Italian steamship lines have sent out a joiat circular announcing a reduction in rates to Hungarian and other ports, The new rates range from $10 to $15 lower than the reduced rates to the same points recently announced by other lines.
