Now, in this church, we haye re-
solved upon the plan of conducting
the music by organ and cornet. We
do 1T Tor two reasons; one is that by
throwing the whole responsibility up
on the mass OF the people, making the
great multitude the choir, we might
rouse more heartiness. Then we do
not want any choir quarrels. You
know very well that in scores of
churches, there has been perpetual
contention in that direction. The
only church fight that ever occurred
under my ministry was over a melo-
deon, in my first settlement. Have
you never been in church on the Sab
bath day, and heard the choir sing,
and you said ''That is splendid mu-
Sic" The next Sabbath, you were in
that church, and there was no choir
at all. Why? The leader was mad,
or his assistants were mad, or they
were all mad together. Three-fourths
OF the church fights originate in the
organ loft. take that back and say
nine-tenths. A great many of our
churches are dying of choirs.
want to arouse you to a unanim-
ity in Christian song that has never
yet been exhibited. Come, now clear
your Threats and get ready for this
duty, or you will ~
NEVER HEAR THE END OF THIS.
never shall forget hearing a French
man sing the "Marseillaise" on the
Champs Elysees, Paris, just before the
battle OF Sedan in 1870. I never saw
such enthusiasm before or since. AS
he sang that national air, oh! how the
Frenchmen shouted! Have you ever
in an English assemblage heard a
band play "God Save the Queen?" Ii
you have. you know something about
the enthusiasm of a. national air.
Now l tell you that these songs which
we sing Sabbath by Sabbath are the
national airs of Jesus Christ and of
the Kingdom of heaven, and if you do
not learn to sing them here, how do
you ever expect to sing the song of
| Moses and the lamb? I should not be
| surprised at all if some OF the best an
thems OF heaven were made up of
some of the best songs of EARTH May
God increase our reverence for Chris
tian psalmody, and keep us from dis
gracing 1t by our Indifference and
| frivolity. When Cromwell's army
went into battle he stood at the head
OF them one day, and gave out the
long meter doxology to the tune OF
the "Old Hundredth," and that great
host, company by company, regiment
by regiment, battalion by battalion
Joined in the doxology:
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, we heavenly host
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
And while they sang they marched,
and while they marched they fought,
and while they fought they got the
| victory. 0, men and women of Jesus
| Christ, let us go into all our conflicts
singing the praises of God, and then,
instead OF falling back, as we often do,
from defeat to defeat, we shall be
marching on from victory to victory.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in
| the beginning, is now and ever shall
| be, world without end. Amen.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Sept. %.
John B. Bottineau, who is in Washing
ton looking after the claim Of the Turtle
Mountain Indians to 10000 900 acres of
land in North Dakota, says that he knows
the man who is said to be Tascott, and is
living at Turtle mountain.
He says he is young man who came
there and began living with a sguaw, but
who never gave any information concern
ing himself. Subsequently another stranger
came there and took squaw and ran sa-
loon. A United States marshal came to
look after the latter and the other man be-
came very uneasy and kept out Of the way
as much as possible. The alleged Tascott
wore very tough clothes, but had the ap-
pearance of knowing much more than the
average man that comes to live with In

SCARCITY OF FOOD IN
RUSSIA.

In the Worlds story the pros
perity of one nation is often linked
with the bitter, grinding needs OF
another. While the people of the
United States are planning to send
abroad a surplus of 200,0OO,OOO
bushels of one cereal, alone, the
people of Russia are even now, be-
fore harvest which must destroy
nearly every hope of life, starv-
ing upon grass boiled in water,
and parents are advertising their
children ''for sale" in order not to
see them die before their eyes. 1t
is claimed that Russia has the best
and most abundant arabic land in
Europe, with climate peculiarly
favorable to wheat growing, and a
population of the most laborious
on the face of the earth. For all
these advantages the crops Gas set
forth by well-informed Russian
authority in twenty-six provinces
have been destroyed or almost des-
troyed, while only in the northern
Caucasus and few other prov
inces and districts is the harvest
expected to be above the average.
Famine comes to Russia every
three or four years, sometimes Oft
ener. A general and very severe
famine occurred in 1880. In 1885
and 1886 there was famine, and
this years famine, it is feared, will
exceed the terrible ones of 1910
and 1873 and all others of record.
That of 1910 began only after the
harvest failed; this is already
begun before reaping time. The
great Russian mass, ill-informed,
stolld, but quiet and industrious,
without reserve stores, 1--we from
hand to mouth because of the fear
full burden of As per cent. of their
incomes imposed for taxes-not to
speak of interest to money lenders,
brides to officials and the like.
When crops fail they perish as so
many sheep or are supported by
special relief fund, now nearly ex-
hausted by repeated demands upon
it. To starve off starvation and
provide seed for next years crop
will require an enormous sum, the
restitution being widespread.
Who is responsible, or what, for
this state of things ? Obviously
there is misgovernmento of the worst
kind. While many millions are an
nually wasted upon increasing mill
tary forces already too large--an
increase that bears correspondingly
hard upon the peasants and other
poor of all the great countries Of
Europe--the Gar closes the only
high school of agriculture to re-
press political disafection among
students; keeps the people in ig-
norance, retards the improvement
OF a country Astounding in natural
resources, and squanders every
thing upon a landed aristocracy,

JAS. Finley Sued for $4,000 Dam

Growing out Of the late county elect
ion, when B. Heney defeated George j.
Roskruge for the Office of county treas
urer by four votes, comes a suit for
$4,000 damages, brought by Roskruge
against Jas. Finley.
The complaint sets forth that Finley
made certain false statements at Hsr-
shaw to NJ. Maloney and Sylvester
Lowell regarding Roskruge and the
San Rafael land grant, claiming he had
documents to back the declaration, early
in October 1870, also that similar state
ments were made by Mr.. Finley to A. j,
Stockton and John w. Fuqua at Crit
tenden on the Sd of October 1890. That
be was Ithus defeated for the office OF
treasurer, and lays damages at the sum
of $4,000.
The sum of $1,000 is claimed for dam
ages to the plaintiff to his profession as
civil engineer, and he likewise asks
damages in such sum.
S. NJ. Franklin and o. Il. Rouse are
attorneys for MIR. Roskruge.

NEEDED LEGISLATION.
Baking Powder Bill Passed by the
Minnesota Senate.

The recent newspaper discussion OF
the dangerous qualities of ammonia
comes from the alarming increase OF its
use in baking powders. People who
absorb it in small quantities from day
to day suffer from slow ammonia pois-
onIng. Taken internally in sufficient
quantities it eats away the coatings or
the stomach and intes tines and causes
death, Slow emnonis poisoning pro-
duces various forms Of stomach trouble.
Not one woman in ten thousand would
use an ammonia baking powder If she
knew it. Such powders not only under
mine the health, but ammonia imparts
a sallow and blotched complexion.
Following is the bill recently passed
by the Minnesota senate. 1t is the dam
ger signal which the law throws out for
the protection Of the.people:
BILL FOR AN ACT TO REGULATE THE
TARIFF IN BAKING POWDER.
SECTION Amy person who shall
knowingly sell or procure the sale, or
offer for sale of any package or can OF
baking powder, containing any ammonia
in it, not distinctly, legibly and durably
branded, stamped or marked in a con-
spicious place with the words in the
English language "This Baking Powder
contains Ammonia" in letters of great
plea, or any letters equivalent thereto
in length, shall be guilty of a misde-
meanor, and punished by fine not less
than $40 nor more than $50; shall be
confined in the county Jail not less than
ten or more than twenty days or by both
tine and Imprisonment, at the discretion
Of the court.
SECTION 2.-The sale or offer for sale
of the substance mentioned in the fore
going section IN packages not stamped,
marked, branded or labelled as therein
required, shall be prima -facie evidence
of knowledge of the character of said
substance, on the part OF the person so
selling or offering for sale and his en-
ployer.
SECTION 3.-This act shall be in force
on and after its passage.
NoTE-An incident occurred in the
house when the senate bill came up for
passage, in reference to an amendment
proposed by Mr., Diment. This was OPP
posed by several members. Mr.. Feig
said that if the bill as it came from the
senate was all right then the amendment
was all wrong. The amendment com
polling the printing Of the word Am
monis" on the label only affected the
Royal Baking Powder, ard no wonder
they felt the senate bill was q blow at
them.-St. Paul Dispatch.
