CHARGES AGAINST MARTY,
They VIII Re Formally Filed by
Father Haire.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Sept. 16.-The
controversy over the charges against
Bishop Marty still goes on and there are
likely to be some important develop
ments before long. Father Hare, who
was removed for inSubc rdination by the
bishop, and who has since had no rela-
tiCns with the Catholic church, yester-
day went to Dubuque, where he VIII
lay before Mgr. Satolli charges of the
gravest character against Bishop Marty.
He was accompanied by Father Ahern,
of Flandrau, who. however, does not
accept any responsibility for the move
ment. The charges are maladministra-
ton, Cahenslyism and immortality. The
details Of the latter charge cannot
be learned. Father Hare stated that
he was very indignant at the last lies
which had been circulated by the
bishops friends and that he intended
soon to publish the truth, which wonld
set these lies at rest and support his
statements. lie also claimed that his
position is supported by large number
Of priests of the diocese and that the
recent manifesto, in which he and those
who stand with him were called mali
cious liars, was prepared long before
the recent retreat at Sioux Falls, and
was forced upon the priests there as
sembled under threats of penalties.
Father Hare is master workman of the
Knights of Labor in this state and was
disciplined largely for certain radical
views he entertained on the labor and
kindred questions. He did not give
names of those who were with him in
this movement and search has failed to
reveal more than one other priest.

FOUND DEAD BRUSH.
Body of West Duluth Man Dis
covered Near Fargo.

FARGO. N. D., Sept. 16.-Ole Ander-
son, a gardener in the northern part Of
the city, found man in the timber adj
joining his place this morning, being
drawn to it by the stencil arising from
the body. The coroner and sheriff made
an investigation and found the remains
were those, apparently, of Jim Schmidt,
of West Duluth, and his skull was ter
ribly crushed. He had probably been
dead from two weeks to a months time,
and it was found that the body had
been dragged for some seventy-five feet,
and at the place where the man was
murdered piece of bridge plank three
feet long and bloody handkerchief
were found. An entry IN a book in
his pockets showed he went to work for
Nels l.. Lund, a farmer, Feb. z, and
quit on the 18th to work for some rail-
road. where he commenced work on
April 10. No friends of his have been
found here. The man who discovered
the body said he heard some men quar-
reling in the brush nearly monh ago,
and three of them seemed to be robbing
another. He came up town and got
policeman, but nothing could be found
of the parties when they returned. The
man was we'll dressed and his entry
indicates intelligence. He was vi
doubtedly murdered.

VINO catches you gently by the finger
tips and raises your hand the height of

You simply foil the latter idiot by

no precaution prevails against the

me would not care to go as far as
that. perhaps, there is unQueStiOnably
degree of offense in such familiarity
akin to unproyoked assault. The fact
that the offender is an acquaintance OF
personal friend debars You from the
privilege OF resenting it i'll becoming
manner, but it doesn't tend to lessen
the irritation.
In some instances it really increases 1t.
You are not always generous enough
to excuse the blow on the back on the
ground that the slapper doesn't know
any better-that having an imperyIOus
hide himself he can not understand that
his manners are in more or less degree
offensive to other people. Nor can you
tell him so very we'll without risking
the descent to his own level of boor-
iShnesS.
You can silently edge away from the
leaner, if he hasn't got his arm actually
around your neck; you can drop him
unceremOniously, and with the exact
pitch OF contempt befitIlng the time,

ance.
But the slapper is usually man who
can ne successfully reached only with
club. As you can't go around curing
him in that way, suppose you must
endure him.

POUNDED BY PREACHERS.
Queer Way OF Driving Ont the
Devil in Wisconsin.

SULLsBURG, Wis.,, Sept. 16.-The Free
Methodists who have been holding a
camp meeting on the hill south of New
Diggings have struck tents and moved
out. to the great relief of the citizens.
Just before their departure they nearly
killed one of their number, Rev. Mr..
johnson, of Montford.
A candidate for orders in the society
must possess poverty and other unpleas-
ant things that sane people don't have
any use for. Rev. MIR. Johnson incurred
the displeasure of Pastors Webb and
Camm. two of the leaders, because he
did not come up to their standard OF
Christian excellence. and wore cuff but
tons, a scarf pin and white shirt. The
worshipers corralled the unfortunate
preacher in tent with Webb and
Camm and asked him to confess"
johnson told them he had nothing to
confess. Webb and Camm then charged
him with having devil concealed about
his person. and conceived it to be their
religious duty to relieve him Of his load.
They began by getting johnson down
on his face with his nose in a pile of
straw that they had been using for bed
ding, and while Webb held him down
and did the shouting. Camm tried to
coax the devil out with prayer, while
choice COLLECTION of the camp began a
war dance around the PROSTATE body to
frighten his Satanic majesty and make
him quit the premises. Satan did not
seem TO let go his hold, and heroic treat
ment was resorted to, and poor johnson
was pounded and kicked.
They kept this business up for hours.
Johnson was being kneaded, beaten and
bruised, and some OF the people on the
grounds became alarmed. AT last suffi-
cltnt force was secured. and the victim
was dragged out more dead than alive.
He was SO weak and sore that he was
unable 10 walk.
A crowd of citizens. numbering nearly
100, led by Frank Craig Jr. and Super
visor Clorethand, marched to the camp
meeting GROUNDS determined to tear
down every tent and drive the campers
out of town. The better Judgment of
the leaders prevailed, however, and
they warned the two preachers, Webb
and Camm, to get out, and gave them
one hour III which to do SO.
During the service that evening the
| TWO Outlawed preachers were spirited
away through cornfield and hidden at
safe distance.

NEW YORK. Sept. 16.-The volume Of
business Oh the stock exchange today
was light, even for a Saturdays half
holiday. and the dealings were spirit
less. On anticipation Of good hank
statement, prices opened in majority
of cases fraction above the closing

about half dozen instances, the first
quotations were the highest of the day.
The exceptions were General Electric

vile Il Nashville, North American and

From the opening until the publlca-
ton of the bank statement the market
dropped on extremely light and IiteleSs
trading. Nor was there animation
enough on the exchange more than
gave spaSmOdic and unSuStained lift
to the prices when the associated banks
did issue statement much more favor
able than was expected, sending the
surplus reserve up beyond the ten mil
lion dollar mark, and increasing the de-
post line by nearly three and half
millions. This latter increase was
rather of a pleasant surprise to the
street. which had almost settled down
forthcoming. This, in addition to the
deposits, is looked upon with mucl.
favor as indicating an approach of
normal and healthy conditions of the
money market, and especially as the de-
crease i'll loans is not due to forced,
but entirely voluntary liquidations.
After the small buying induced by
this excellent showing of the banks had
spent itself, the market again sagged
off, declining OF its own weight and clos
ing heavy at or within a fraction of the
lowest point of the day. The declines

ashes late last night. Another report
rain soon interviewed the mills and
dwellings at that place would burn be-
fore morning. A message from McMil-
Ian this afternoon says everything is
safe there. 1t has been fight to finish
there, and most of the territory con-
tiguous has been burned over. Although
the loss has been great and the suffering
from the heat intense, the big mills and
the homes of many have been saved. A
number of families from this city packed
their trunks and took the train this
morning, partially to get out of the dense
smoke. and partially for fear. having not
recovered from the scare of yesterday.
During the hurricane, which turned
day into night, the wind lasted only
twenty minutes, filling the air with
dust, smoke and cinders so completely
that objects could not be St EN- across
the street. Some believed the world
was coming to an end, and many went
into cellars for safety. The belt Of
country between this place and Spencer,
eight mills north. presents desOlate
appearance. A farmer, with six little
children and his wife. came to this city
for aid. Their home had burned on
Thursday. Every evening lurid sky
indicates the path of one of these fiery
monsters of ruin. The smoke this eve
ming is more dense than ever, and it
comes mostly from smOldering fires in
the burned district. There is moisture
in the air that indicates an approaching
storm. and may it come in pailfuls is
the prayer of all. Everything is quiet
here. and the danger to this city is be-
lieved to be over.
Some idea of the immense extent of
the burning forests can be obtained
when it is known that the fires extend
from SbaWano, Lincoln and Portage
counties in the south to Lake Superior
in the north, and westward from Mari
nette and OcOntO counties to Sawyer,
Barron and Chippewa counties. Through
the forests which cover this broad acre
age the fires were burning with more or
less malignitY everywhere, although at
no place have they been more severe
than in the vicinity of Marshfeld. along
the lines of the Wisconsin Central, the
Milwaukee, Lake Shore e Western
anu the Chicago, st. Paul Minneapolis
& Omaha railways. Here they have
been veritable fiery furnace. and
famed by high winds, at times APP
preaching a hurricane, which have pre-
vailed the past few days. the flames
have wrought almost untold damage.
But nowhere has the fight against the
flames been more successful than in
this district.
