The whole man, from head to foot, was surrendered to God, hence he was properly called, “the friend of God.” The analysis of Isaiah by Dr. Gelesnoff at 2 o’clock impressed all as the finest piece of anylitical study we have yet heard. The work of the so-called higher critics appeared pueril in comparison. He held up and displayed this great book of prophecy to our astonished and admiring gaze so that all c_ould see the watermark of God’s purpose on every part, and in our hearts we silently exclaimed, “Behold, th e Rev. W.C. Lowry of Brainerd presided at the evening meeting. Mr. D. K. Laurie of Thief River Falls read the scriptures and Rev. T. M. Findley of Spicer offered prayer. Dr. Luccock, the speaker of the evening, gave a delightfully keen and sweet-spirited address on “Religion and Medicine.” Dr. Gelesnoff will be the speaker of the evening tonight. Business Meeting. At a business meeting of the Be- midji Bible conference held yester- day evening, Rev. F. J. Barackman of Blackduck was re-elected presi- dent of the conference and other officers were chosen, and consider- able important business transacted in connection with the conference. Rev. H. R. McKee and Rev. J. H. Deniston of Bemidji, and D. K. Laurie of Thief River Falls were elected directors for the ensuing chairman of the directors and Rev. McKee secretary. The officers who will have gen- eral charge of the conference of 1910 were chosen as follows: Rev. F. J. Barackman of Black- duck, president; Rev. J. H. Deniston of Bemidji, vice president; Rev. S. E. P. White of Bemidji, secretary. Several reports were presented and accepted and there was a general discussion of plans for the success of conferences and policies which should be pursued in the future. Posted Him.

Chicago, July 28.—Chicago’s police department is shaken from center to circumference, vice kings are alarméd as never before and residents of Chinatown and the “red light” quarter are panic stricken as State’s Attorney ‘Wayman piles up evidence before the grand jury which Is expected to result in indictments against high police offl- cers and others. Men who have seen investigations of this character come and go de- clared that the present probe is the deepest and most comprehensive un- dertaken by a state’s attorney in Cook county for years and the prediction is made that a number of graft col- lectors and police officers into whose pockets the money has found its way are in grave danger of landing behind penitentiary walls. Every detective avallable in the state attorney’s office is busy serving subpoenas on witnesses who will be required to appear before the grand Jurors and among these, it is authori- tatively reported, will be nearly two score policemen. Before the searching inquiry is end- ed, it is asserted, fully fifty members of the police department, including a number of commanding officers, will be compelled to tell why vice is ram- pant in varlous parts of Chicago and disclose what they know about the payment of “protection” money. HARRY ORCHARD BAPTISED Self-Confessed Slayer Finds Consola- tion in Religion. Boise, Ida., July 23.—Harry Orchard, murderer of former Governor Steun- enberg of Idaho, according to his con- fession, has been baptised at the peni- tentiary. The service was read by Elder Stewsrd, a Seventh Day Adven- tist. Elder Steward made the follow- ing statement after the ceremony: “Orchard is a devout convert and feels his sins have been forgiven. He told mé that he had fully determined to commit suicide if sent up for life, but that in his faith he had found con- solation and was content to remain behind the nrison walls for the rest of his natural life.” EALL FOR STATE TROOPS IS MADE Strike Situation at Keno- sha, Wis., Serious. MANY INJURED IN RIOTS ‘Two Men Shot and a Number of Oth- ers Injured in Clash Between Offi cers and Mobs—Tanning Company Refuses to Confer With Emplayes and All Departments of the Big Plant Are Closed. Kenosha, Wis., July 23—In a riot at the works of the N. R. Allen’s Sons Tanning company .two men were shot and a number of others injured, some seriously. One thousand men went on strike several days ago for an in- crease in wages and 500 others have since joined the ranks of the strikers. At the time the riot started a com- mittee representing the strikers was in the general office of the company seeking to make a settlement of the difficulties, but the management at once called off all negotiations and the committee was escorted out of the office, while the officials and deputies who had been in attendance at the meeting immediately armed them- selves for protection. The first outbreak occurred at the big central entrance on Grand avenue, where one of the strikers was shot. The bullet passed through his hip and it is feared he is badly injured. Second Riot Follows. A minute later a riot was started at the corner of North Chicago and Union streets and this resulted in an- other man being shot through the left side. One man was struck down with a coupling pin and was later taken to the county jail and held on a charge of rioting. The police were unable to do any- thing with the strikers, but they kept themselves busy as best they could using clubs. During the repeated as- saults Policeman Nelson of the city force and Deputy Morschouse of the sheriff’s force were struck down and both are in the hospital seriously in- Jured. The company has declared they will hold no further parley and every de- partment of the big plant has been closed down. People of the city have refused to be sworn In as special ofi- cers, fearing their lives would be in danger. Thus far the property of the company has not been badly damaged, but the windows of the buildings were shattered by stones thrown by the rioters, Troops Held In Readiness. Camp Douglas, Wis., July 23.—Gov- ernor Davidson has received a report on the riot situation at Kenosha and has ordered the troops to hold them- selves in readiness to leave at once for that city to suppress the strike disorders. - He will not give the order to leave, however, until he has re- ceived further notice from the Keno sha authorities that everything has been done to quell the riots. THREE GHILDREN PERISH IN FLOOD Damage at Duluth Placed at $1,500,000. STREETSRAGING TORRENTS Pedestrians Are Carried Off Their Feet and a Number of Narrow Es- capes From Drowning Resulted. Blocks of Asphalt Pavement Car- ried Away and Mud From the Hills Piled High on Lower Levels. Ouluth, July 28.—Fully $1,500,000 damage was done by the flood here, following terrific rains and a cloud- burst. Three lives were lost during the storm. Two children were swept from their mothers’ sides on Ninth avenue east, one body being lost in a sewer at the bottom of the hill. An- other child was lost in Keene’s creek at West Duluth. The entire hillside became prac- tically one great waterfall. The sew- ers, already overflowing, were totally inadequate to carry off the rushing water and the streets and avenues quickly turned into torrents, with the Wwater running three feet deep. Street cars were compelled to suspend. Citi- zens stripped off their shoes and waded home. The theater crowds came out to find the streets a minia- ture lake and the men, picking up their female companions, carried them to higher ground. Automobiles and hacks were impossible, owing to the accumulation of mud in the streets. The hotels were crowded with those unwilling to venture forth in the ele- ments. Twenty or morz houses were washed away along small creeks in the city suburbs. Nearly Drown in Streets. Several narrow escapes are report- ed from drowning on Superior street, the main thoroughfare of Duluth. One woman was rolled over and over un- til rescued unconscious by a man who floundered after her. Blocks of as- phalt pavement were carried away and mud from the hills piled high on the lower levels. The rain continued unabated all night, vivid lightning accompanying the storm. The reverberations of mammoth thunderclaps, added to the shrieking of the lighthouse sirens, the pelting rain and the torrent rushing down the hillside, caused a pande- monium. A peculiar element of human inter- est was added to the storm features in the discovery that Mr. and Mrs. Romano, two of whose children were drowned, also were victims of the dis- aster in San Francisco at the time of the earthquake and fire. ‘When the cloudburst struck Duluth Mrs. Romano and her three children were standing on the back porch of their home. A torrent of water car- ried away the porch and threw them all into the flood. The two smaller *| children were drowned. TO ENFORCE EIGHT-HbUR LAW Strike in Every City and Town in Oklahoma Predicted. Muskogee, Okla., July 23.—A strike in every city and town in Oklahoma in support of the eight-hour law, in- volving 30,000 laborers of various classes, was predicted for next week by Deputy State Labor Commissioner ‘Wiley here. Several hundred street paving labor- ers and others in Muskogee have been out several days. Those working on public contracts have partially won their fight and are planning & big pa- rade for Saturday night in anticipa- tion of a complete victory. The trou- ble started when the labor commis- sioner recently enforced the eight- hour law and the employers cut wages to correspond with the reduction in hours. HER OBJECTIONS OVERRULED Ella Gingles Will Be Sent Back to Her Home in Ireland. Chicago, July 23.—Ella Gingles will be sent back to her home in Ireland, feaving Chicago next Wednesday, ac: cording to present plans. This de- cisfon was reached at a conference in the office of Patrick H. O'Donnell, her attorney in her recent trial. Vigorous opposition on the part of the girl threatened for a while to up- set this plan, but she was overruled. She declared at first that she intend ed to remain in Chicago and press ner charges against her former accuser, Miss Agnes Barrette. Her friends argned that it was best for her to re- turn to her mother’s home. The girl protested that she could not return to Ireland, alleging that the Belfast newspapers had placed her in a false light at home. That argument also was overcome. NAVAL SURGEON TESTIFIES Says Sutton’s Wound Could Have Been 8elf-Inflicted. Annapolls, Md., July 23.—Surgeon George Pickrell, U. 8. N., who attend- ed Lieutenant Sutton after he was shot, testified at the inquiry here that the bullet entered Sutton’s head on top, near the back and a little to the right. This has been a much disputed point, as other physicians have testi- fied that the wound was just back ot the right ear. Surgeon Pickrell stated that the shot was fired within two feet, of Sutton’s head and in his opinion could have been selfinflicted. He said that Sutton’s body showed no other Injuries which might have caused his death. The witness identified a belt an holster, which, he said, was strapped on Sutton’s leg the night of the trag- edy. - < j 3* N N—s . 3 <
