Both From ssVirginny.',

Rev. Father Bauer, who was at
a thriving railroad town not Il
thousand miles from here, last week
tells an : amusing incident which
happened to him while there. On
Sunday after church services, when
the congregation had dispersed and
he had closed the church door, Il
farmer, who had come to = church
with his team, approached him and
said: ''Father, I heerd you say you
was from West Virginny?" Yes,
that's correct" Well you've come a
mighty long ways: there amt any
other Virginians here to my know
ledge. The only thing that / know
round here that come from Virginny
too is my mule here" pointing to an
old dilapitated specimen OF mulekind.
which gently topped it's ears and
had.tears OF joy in it's eyes, no doubt
because here was another Virginia1'
Father B., having recovered from
his mOmentary surprise at this
singular introduction, assured the
good natured farmer that he was
highly pleased at having found a
conntryman SO far from home, and
pattedsthe dear mule'sback in lieu of
handshake >:s - -. =.
In the evening Father Bauer, in a
large circle of friends, told this story
which created considerable hilarity.
B ut the climax was reached when a
lady recovering from Il fit oflaughter
in all simplicity exclaimed: "Well
Father, after this whenever sec !,
mule 7 will think of You. -

Where Hypocrites Are.

Another large audience greeted Mr..
Mills at the exposition hall last
night. AS was announced in The
Journal yesterday the evangelist
took for his subject, Excuses =
Everybody had some sort Of excuse
to offer when God called them to
do some particular thing which
would conflict with their manner OF
life. There We're many hypocrites in
the church, who were always making
excuses to the Lord for not getting
out and working in his vineyard.
Such people were stumbling blocks,in
the way and they were not fit to
occupy place in Gods house. But
.hypocrites in the church, the preacher
thought, We're comparatively fewer
than those outside. ' S..Sz.. .5.. S,
sz "Christ had one in II, but do not
believe there is one in 500 in the
church to-day said the evangelist.
''The hypocrites are not in the
church, but outside of it, and the
man who will ot.liXe TN open Cody
life, with this stumbling block as his
pulpit will spend an eternity with
hypocrites. -.
The usual interest was manifested
at the after meeting and many con
versions were made.-Minnespo polls

Our train met with a little accident
at Wadena Saturday at the crossing
OF the Northern Pacific. The east
bound passenger train on that line
was late and reached the crossing
just as the Park Rapids train was
pulling in. The, engineer OF the N. P.
train waited till the two coaches had
passed when he opened the throttle
OF his engine, supposing the train
would be out Of his way. He made
a mistake in this as the mail and
baggage car was in the rear and he
struck the back end of this car, tear
ing off the steps and throwing the
rear trucks off the track. They
hoped along on the ties for several
rods until the switch was reached
when they mounted the rails of the
sidetrack. The train was acouple of
hours late here but this accident was
not the whole cause of it, as this only
delayed them half an hour. They
did not leave Park Rapids till nearly
two hours after time, as the hOstler
was sick and hadn't fed and culr.ied
the steam horse for the edriver.-Todd

Agricultural Depression.

0~H>1"As
In this century the price of wheat has
not ruled so low as it has done this
spring. Gotten was down to the bottom
last year, although it is a little better at
present. Petroleum and corn are alike
depressed in price. All the raw prod
ucts which America ships abroad share
the same fate. The feeling of dullness
in agricultural circles is only relieved by
the upward tendency of the beef and
pork market. If farmers had now only
as much value in fat beeves and hogs as
they had excess of wheat last fall, they
would be collectively better off by many
hundred Thousand dollars than they are
The low price of grain and petroleum
is due, economists say, to overproduc-
ton. Russia s our most formidable COM
petitor in petroleum, not to speak Of the
vast wheatfelds which she pits against
ours. Hungarian wheat is considered in
European markets of superior quality to
ours. Egypt and India pour the wheat
which their low priced labor has pro-
duced into the European market. Ameri-
can elevators are still gorged with wheat
awaiting sale. Enough of it will un-
doubtedly be consumed during the
Worlds fair to make an impression on
this store Undoubtedly, too, in another
generation our population will have
grown to near the line Of the country s
wheat producing capacity.
But meantime the remedy is for farm
ers not to raise so much wheat and corn
This country is varied enough in climate
and soil to grow almost anything that
will grow. If the. agricultural expert
ment stations do not teach farmers how
to vary production and make land pay,
they will not be worth the money they
cost. When everybody raises potatoes,
all the world gets sick Of potatoes. The
way out of the present agricultural stag
nation is in varied production, and it
ought not to take more than two years
to get out. If farmers will use their
brains and intelligence, every man can
decide for himself on something that
will help him out.

Twentieth Annual Ball.

The Little Falls Fire Department
gave their twentieth annual ball, and
it was success in every particular.
The opera house was handsomely
decorated with bunting. Hose was
strung from one side to the other
and at the end near the stage the
chemical engine was placed and lad
ders so arranged as to form an arch
over it.
Nearly two hundred tickets had
been sold by the boys and the hall
was we'll filled with a jolly lot OF
young people, all bent on having q
good time, and The firemen did all in
their power to entertain their guests
The music was furnished by the
Mendelss0nn orchestra which was at
it's best, and we feel safe in saying
that better music Wassnever furnish
ed at ball in this city.
At midnight supper was served at
Hotel Buckman, and all who atten
ded speak in the highest terms OF il
and the manner in which it was
served under the management of Mr.
Gruenhagen.
The programme was finished
about 3 O'Clock in the morning anG
all expressed a wish that the Fire
Department would hereafter give al
annual ball every week.

A Side Wipe.

We learn incidentally from the para
graph below what that astronomical ro-
mancer, Camille Flanmarion, thinks of
newspapers. In his mathematical novel,
omega" begun in The Cosmopolitan,
he predicts what would happen to the
earth if a great comet should strike it.
The time of his story is the twenty
fourth century. All the astronomers of
the globe could communicate with one
another in an instant. and the main OBJ
servatory was in the Himalaya noun
tains. Mankind travelled whittier they
would by airships. and every house had
its own telescope Plain working people
were intelligent in the sciences of the
stars. It was one of these who discov-
cred the comet that it was feared would
destroy the earth. The comet grew
larger and larger. Calculations were
made where it would hit.
;, If a comet of the size of the one in
question should hit our earth, then earth
and comet together would explode and
burn up in fragments. If, however, in
stead of striking our world it went into
Jupiter, it would raise the temperature
of that planet so immensely that Jupiter
would become a second sun, warming
and lighting the earth by night. At
length what was the CONSERVATION of the
ty-fourth century people to discover
that this monstrous comet was coming
straight tc the earth head on! All the
astronomers in various quarters agreed
on this. What the twenty-fourth cen
tury newspapers did Flammarion tells
us thus: -s..s.. .>
The daily papers snH.o,l. broadcast this alarm
ing news, cmbellished with sinister comments
and numberless interviews in which the most
astonishing statements we're attributed to sci
entiStS. Their only concern was to outtio the
ascertained facts and to cxaggerate their bear
ing by more or less fanciful additions. As for
that matter, the Journals Of the world had
long since become purely business enterprises
