United Lutheran Church Claims
the Augsburg Publishing House.

United Lutheran Church Claims
= the Augsburg Publishing House.
The trial of the suit brought by the
United Lutheran church against the
Augsburg seminary began in the dis
trict court yesterday. The action is the
result of a dispute over the ownership
of the Augsburg Publishing house In
this city. The trouble dates back TO
1885, The year when the seminary was
founded on the trustee plan. The
church claims that the publishing house
was a combination of three publishing
departments of the three churches -
Conference. Augustana and Anti-Mis-
Sourian-Which were combined into the
United church, and that the publishing
house has always been considered the
property of the United church. Mr..
Bacon, of the counsel for the church,
stated to the court that not until 1892
did the president of the seminary lay
claim to the property.
ION the 9Th OF last June.' continued
MI. Bacon, PROF. Oftedahl and Mr..
Engemo4n, accompanied by an expert
safe man, entered the Office of Lars
Swensun. who was treasurer Of the
United church, the publishing house
and the Augsburg seminary, in his alb
sence. and, after taking possession of
the large safe containing the books and
other valuables OF the publishing house,
changed the combination and immedi-
ateIy notified Lars SWenSon that he had
been suspended as treasurer of the
Augsburg seminary, and that MIR.
Engemoen had been elected in his
place"
The publishing house plaut is consid-
cred to be worth about $4,000. It's
business is 10 pint books aud papers
for the church. The legal controversy
turns on the question whether the trans
fer Of The personal property can be
made. The witnesses examined yester.
day were Rev. Anon Johnson, one OF
the original incorporates of the Ole
conference publishing society; Rev. ia
cGbson, formerly treasurer of the con-
ference, and Lars Swenson. The court
room was well filled with spectators liz
terested in the suit.

ex-cashier of the iusolvent bank, was a
more extensive Dorro Her from the con-
Germ than was at first supposed. At the
time Of the assignment MIR. Shepherd, it
is said, was indebted TO the bank in the

his Indebtedness amounts to S1Ol. 900.
which, is claimed, is not amply secured.
Mr.. Shepherd, when seen at his resi-
dence, acknowledged an Indebtedness
of $4,000, which, he declared, was
amply secured. The $4,000 worth of
Frazer-Shepherd notes, which Mr.Shep-
herd is said to have accepted from his
brother Nathan Shepherd, he declined
10 talk about. Mr.Shepherd added that
negotiations were under way whereby
his entire Indebtedness TO the bank

President c. A. Bovey, of the Citi-
zens' bank, said yesterday that he had
the highest confidence in MrShepherd's

Youth journal.
In every epoch of Egyptian history
the results of the annual overflow of the
Nile have been awaited with the great
est interest. If there be but a small
rise in the river, famine is sure to ensue.
If the rise be much greater than usual,
it leaves in its wake pestilence and
destruction. On this account HerodotuS
has called Egypt 1.-THE gift of the Nile''
Its prosperity, nay, its Availability. de-
pend upon the great river: for without
these fruetifying waters it would soon
become the prey Of tie desert sands
and the torrid sun.
The causes Of this food, recurring each
year with uHvarying precision, have
been shfouded in mystery until quite
recently. We now know that at the
summer Solstice the sun stands directly
above the mountains and 1able-lands of
Abyssinia and melts the ice and snow
that have accumulated in their gorges.
These waters roll in a turbid stream
down through the great valley and
produce the striking phenomenon. To
US this cause is very clear, but with the
ancients it was different. They had not
traced the river to its sources, and could
not explain this inundation, which to
them seemed to be utterly beyond the
operation Of natural causes.
The ancient Egyptian priests taught
that the rise was occaSioned by a tear
Of the goddess Isis. If the goddess had
been weeping over the ignorance OF
people that could believe such story,
the magnitude of the flood might have
been accounted for. But people are
fond of inventing fanciful REASONS when
they do not know the true ones.
When the first pulsations of the flood
were felt solemn religions cere monies
weIe observed throughout the land.
Long beforehand a beauteous maiden
had been chosen from among the peo-
pie. destined as sacrifice to the deity
of the river.
Whep the yellow currents began to
swell IN ore and more the populace con-
Quoted this unhappy bride of the
Nile" to the banks OF the stream; and
amid lubilant shouts she was hurled
into the raging waters.
The advance of civilization has done
away with this awful human sacrifice:
some writer's even claim that it never
existed. Yet today, each year as the
waters begin to rise, an image of the
maiden, modelled in clay, is cast into
the stream; which seems to indicate
that the custom must have existed,
through it may have been thousands of
years ago.
