TONS OF HAY DESTROYED.
Farmers Lose Heavily by Fires in the
Wisconsin River Bottoms.


MADISON, Wis, Oct 26.-Fires in the
Wisconsin river bottoms and those
rivers tributary to the Wisconsin have
caused heavy losses to the farmers liv-
ing along the rivers. Curtis Hazeltine,
of Mazomapie, who owns about
10000 acres of marsh lands in
Dane, Sauk and Iowa counties, says
most all of the hay grown on his land
was destroyed by fire. He has leased
the marsh in small parcels to farmers,
and those placing almost sole depend
ence for hay on the marsh are in des-
perate straits and will be obliged to
sell their cattle at whatever they will
bring in order to avoid their starving.
Mr.. Hazeltine estimates that 50,-
600 tons of hay have been destroyed
in southern Wisconsin alone. Along
the Wolf river and i<s tributaries
marshes have burned out and farmers
were unable to rescue their hay which
had been stacked in them. In many
places the fire is still burning. Stock
can be purchased at almost any price
along these rivers, tame hay having
been a failure on account of the
drought. The loss cannot as yet be es-
timated

Unfortunately, at the critical moment

seems too bad that the name of the
dead hero has not TRANSFERRED.

They were then ordered to stand in
one corner of the room and keep
quiet. Two of the men stood guard
while the others went to work on
the safe. A hole was quick
ly bored in the heavy door
near the combination and quantity
of powder placed within. The explo-
sion was terrific, blowing the safe door
fully 80 feet. Here was stored the day S
receipts obtained from the collection OF

Al the meeting OF the Ministerial Associa-
ton of the Methodist clergy, Mrs. DR..
French. as a representative of the Wonen'S
Christian Temperance Union, asked the CO.
operation and support of the association in
opening and maintaining the Rescne
Home for Drunkards. The speaker eX-
planned that the Temperance Union is about
to start an active crusade against the liquor
traffic in this city, but, before inauguratng
their campaign, wished to have some assur-
ance of support from the churches.
After Mrs. French's presentation OF the
matter 1t was discussed at considerable
length by the cleTgymen present, and a res
olution was finally passed pledglns assist
ance to the cause, provided tie other cler-
ical bodies indOrsed the plan.
The project of establishing home for
fallen women under the charge OF the
Order of Deaconesses, as advocated by Miss
Bancroft for some time past, was then taken
up. During the discussion it was shown
that the order had done much good wher-
ever established, especially in the large
Eastern cities. All of the speakers were
pronOuncedly in its favor, and as liberal
subscriptions for the purpose were an
nounced as pouring in from all sides, the
foundation of the proposed shelter is as
sured. 1t was thought that by May next a
building would be provided and the home
evening at Central NJ. E. Church for the
purpose of advocating this cause The
meeting will be addressed by Miss Bancroft,
at the same time.
Socialism and Individualism" will be the
subject next week, to be opened by Rev.

Professor Drummcnd's recently published
book, 1.-The Greatest Thing in the World,

view w9s followed up with remarks and
comments upon tile views Of the author by
Rev. Messrs. LOOMS, Dobbins. Phraner,
Rhoda, Stewart, Easton, Campbell, Car
rette Ross, Blake and Lounsbury.
The writer was highly commended Tor his
Observation-Disclosures, but some of his points
were quite sharply criticized, especially
those which seemed to eXalt the love OF God
at the expense of his justice. One speaker,
in response to the demand SO often heard
for preaching like that of Christ, said that
a Large number of the Savior's utterances,
as we have them in the inspired record, were
in regard to punishment for sin. Il was in
sisted, however, that even this should De
presented in loving way, so as not to repel
men by making it unnecessarily offensive to
them. One thought the book would aid the
cause of revision by promoting the demand
for fuller setting out of the love of God IN
the confession of faith, and that it would
help ministers by stimulating them to
greater efforts in presenting that love IN
their preaching
Rev. DR.. Stewart believed that love was
the great power OF the pulpit, and explained
his belief by stating that he hated Roman
ism, but tried to love the Romanist. thus
hating the principle but loving the man.
Justice, he said, was another form OF love.
Rev. Dr. EastOn stated that Professor
Drummond delivered the lecture at North
field during a Moody revival, and was the
most surprised man in the world when he
arrived from Australia and found that 1t
was popular in book form He explained
that publishing house had caught hold Of
the lecture, published it without any au-
thOriZatIun whatever. and succeeded in max
ing quite a profit out OF it,
