OH URCH RIOTs
A Methodist Minister Dragged from
the Puspit by Catholics.

the Pulpit by Catholics.
TOPEKA, KAN, Nov. 1.-Adjutent-
general Roberts received telegram yes
terday notifying him of riot at Axtsll,
Marshall oouaty. The telegram was from
the mayor of the city, and ssked that
detachment Of militia be sent at once to
qusll the disturbance. The adjutant-
general at once ordered out Company G
OF the Third Regiment, located at Marys-
vile, and left On the first train for the
seat OF the trouble.
Axtell, town OF about 700 people, is
settled largely by Catholics. Ga Wad-
nesday Methodist minister named john
son, from the eastern part of the state,
arrived OF Aztsll to hold a revival meet
ing, He had large congregation in the
evening at the Methodist church, and in
the audience were q number Of Catholics.
Soon after beginning his remarks the
minister began an attack upon the Oath
olio church. He became so abusive that
one of the Catholics present called him a
liar; he continued his remarks until the
Catholics could stand it no longer. Four
of them rushed to tho pulpit, and, taking
the pseGoher By the collar, threw him
down. In moment the pulpit was sur'
rounded by an angry mob, and general
row ensued. Although the Catholics
were in minority, they were too much
for the Methodiste, and succeeded in
throwing the preacher and two others
out of the house.
The whole town was soon aroused.
Four Catholics were arrested and put in
the city prison. This so enraged the
Catholic population that they organized
, yesterday morning to assist the inn
| pfisoned men.
The town Of st. Bridget, few miles
distant, is settled entirely by Catholics,
and it is reported that the whole town is
organizing to go the rescue Of the Axllte
Catholics. The mayor says he is power-
less to control them, and fears conflict
between the two elements

BATES, FINE PERFORMANCE.


His Great Walking at Harvard
and a Review OF His Athletic
Career.
The performance Of o. T. Il. Bates Of
this city OF the fall sports of Harvard
University on Friday last, places him
among the leading walkers OF America
and il he can show tie same amount of
improvement in the future, he should be
strong candidate for championship
honor next season. He should be able
to win the Inter Collegiate championship
without much trouble. About the only
walkers now on the path who have
records lower than the 7.07 2.5 made by
Bates on Friday last, are Burkhard,
LANCE, Nicoll, Shearman, Berr;an and
McIlvaine. The last named holds the
Inter. Collegiate record Of FOG aud
Bates could havs beaten this if he had
known that he was SO near the record.
There were two other competitors in
the race, Ware, with so seconds ard
Bardeen, with 80 seconds. Bates was
scratch. He passed Ware on the third
lap but did not catch Bardeen until
within rs yards from the finish when he
passed him amid the enthusiaslic plaudits
| of his classmates. II was fine race
gameIy won. At one fell swoop ne re-
duced his record from 7.35l TO 7.07 2 5
for the mile and no one was more sur
plised than Bates himself, for he had not
SHOWN better form than 7.30 this fall.
He won out of pure grit.
The race on Friday was his 14th walking
contest. or these he has won eight firsts
and two seconds The time in his first
race was 9.0425. That Bates walks
fairly is evident from the fact that in all
his contests he has only been cautioned
twice, once before entering college and
once since. The members OF tine Warren
Athletic Club feel very proud Of theii
fellow members victory.

Messrs. Moses r. Emerson, S. G. Par

of Boston, agents of fire insurance Com
panies doing business in Maine, and rep
resentng the New England Insurance
Exchange, came to town Tuesday evening
and spent the day "Wednesday In looking
over our village, testing the hydrants and
examining our water works system, with
view to adjusting the rates Of insurance
upon village property to the new order Of
things.
The hydrants upon the higher grades
on both sides Of the river were first test
ed, after that some hydrants In the bust
ness part of the village, and later half
dozen streams were put on at one time on
Water and Russell streets.
The hydrant tests were satisfactory in
every particular, and If we do not get a
fair reduction of rates 1t must be attribu-
ted to causes other than the working Of
our water system.
The workings of the force pump on the
north side and the steamer were also
shown, all to the entire satisfaction Of
the insurance officials.

Mr.. Arthur Sewall, President OF the
Maine Central railroad, makes definite
and positive announcement In favor of
Congress subsidising not only the sailing
of ships in the foreign trade but 10 favor
of the payment of a bounty to builders of
American ships for foreign trade. Mr.
Sewall is Democrat, but is evidently in
favor of protecting the shipbuilding In
dustry and in putting our ships on an even
footing with those sailing under the flag
of other Nations. His opinion is emit.
tied to consideration and should have
weight with congress, as he is one of the
largest ship-builders in Maine. Mr.. Sew
all is quoted In the Bath Times as fol
lows:
81 favor the payment by the nationa
government to the builders of American
ships exceeding 1000 tons register and
used in the foreign trade, $40 per ton for
wooden sail, $40 per ton for steel or iroI
sail and slow steam, 1926 per ton fol-
steam with speed not less than fourteen
knots, for period of ten years. To the
owners of these vessels favor further
payment'of 20 cents per registered tor
for every 900 miles sailed in the course
of foreign trade-this payment to be for
the same period"
