Peter Lafond's Fruit and Con.
fectionery Store Warmed
Up ,%e r r..

This morning about 1:30 smoke
was discovered issuing from Peter
Lafond's fruit and confectionery
store on Broadway. An alarm was
turned in and the fire department
responded at once. The fire was
put out by a stream from the
chemical engine. The fire originated
back OF the counter on the west side
OF the, building, and in pile of
paper bags. 1t was probably set by
q stub of cigar which had been
carelessly thrown in there. The
counter and two Of the show cases
were damaged considerably. Candies.
tobacco and cigars were damaged
by water and smoke. The loss to-
stock and fixtures was about $50 or

Probably Over $4,OOo,oOo

The revised assess ment of Morrison
county is nearly completed, and it is
quite certain that the valuation will
go over $4,000, 900, so that under the
present law the salaries of the audi
tor and treasurer will be raised from
81, 200 year to 81 800. 1t is pleas
ant to see our county grow in valu-
alton as it is doing, and to realize
that the growth is due to the steady
progress OF the city. The auditor
and treasurer will each get $500
more for his term OF office than
was expected during the campaign
unless some change is made in the
laws. No one could complain much
if the salaries remained at $1,000 a
year, and the taxpayers of the
county would certainly. regardless
Of party, endorse any means that
would prevent the increase of eX-
perditure in this or any other di-
rection.

Capt. TaylOr's Bonnet.

Capt, Oscar Taylor, the st. Cloud
attorney, was at Wadena the other
day, and now the Pioneer of that
place comes out with the following
story on him: While taking supper
at the Merchants in the evening he
met with an amusing mishap. Just
before going into the dining room he
deposited that black alapaca hat he
has worn for the last forty years as
he supposed on top OF the gold fish
tank. but in reality it went to the
bottom. The captain is little near
sighted, and he mistook the smooth,
placid surface of the water for n
glass top, hence the difficulty. When
he. came from supper he discovered
his head gear in about i'll two feet of
water, and he rolled his sleeve and
dove for it,. The clerk heard the
splash and rushed out into the hall,
and proceeded to give the unlucky
captain a seal brown roast for at
tempting to handle the gold fish,
and it was some time before matters
were explained satisfactorily. Then
the captain retired to the laundry,
run his cap through a wringer and
caught the way freight for Staples,
where he endeavored to forget the
adventure and waited for the regu-
lar passenger to come along.

i GOSPEL MEET INGS.
A Synopsis Of Mr.. Hunts Remarks
Last Night. " >.s

4.
The rain Of last evening had it's
effect in somewhat reducing the size
of the audience at the gospel meeting,
yet PERHAPS nothing could have
more completely shown the great
hold that these services have upon
the people for the number present
was greater than at any meeting
last week with one exception. The
talk of Mr. Hunt opened with brief
running commentary upon the
verses Immediately preceding the
words found in Jno. 2l:22, "What is
that tn thee, follow thou me-" the
subject being excuses and treated hy
the speaker in a legal manner.
MIR. Hunts terse, epigrammatfc
way Of expressing the truth is very
telling and reminds one strongly of
the celebrated DR.. Parker Of the
London city temple. mo excuse
that we can make will ever satisfy
our best moments, nor will 1T ever
satisfy Christ =" 1.-The devil is the
great expert in making excuses"
In illustration of his subject Mr..
Hunt very naturally turned to the
parable Of the "Great Supper" and
analyized the excuses there presented
and from it conclusively showed
that the excuses which men make
today for not turning to the gospel
feast are just as foolish and un-
sa satisfactory. These excuses, or at
least some OF them. were given in
detail and dealt with in such n
trenchant and convincing manner
that the absurdity of the position
taken by men who excuse them
selves was made apparent to all.
Here are some of the reasons adj
vanced by people for MT leading a
Christian life:
l. There are so many hypocrites.
2. A man cannot be Il follower of
Christ and be good business man.
3. would be Il Christian but I
am such great sinner.
4. Iwould be a Christian but I
cannot hold out.
5. Lack of feeling.
6. Cannot understand the Bible.
I. Lack Of moral courage.
Mr.. Hunt showed that people were
inconsistent in the position they
took on this great question of
salvation. The objection they raise
as to hypocrites etc, they ought by
the same process of reasoning to
raise against the veriCus professions
like medicine and law, and the
different lines of business yet they do
not do it and in consequence are I'M
fair in their treatment of religion.
The talk which was logical and
forceful throughout was brought to
a close in most convincing manner
and with retiring appeal to turn
to Christ who is seeking after men
that he may save them.
The chorus choir sang with power
last night. They also practiced
some new pieces for tonight.
Mrs. Flynn and Mr.. Browning
sang with great harmony and sweet
ness, 20 Morning Land" We wish
they would repeat it. Mr.. Browning
stirred every heart with Sankey's
"Ninety and Nine," thestrain Away
frn,n tho Shenhprd,a tandor care -
still rings in our ears. Then at the
close of the meeting he sang "Seek-
ing for Me-" Mr.. Browning has the
qualities of Il great gospel singer,
clear enunciation. sweet tones, SYM
pathy and heart power. EIe feels
his songs and so do the hearers.

The Monday Evening Meeting.

The Monday Evening Meeting.
The meetings have now such u
hold ON the people that no winter
attractions or unfavorable weather
make perceptible difference in the
II. numbers that attend. This was
noticeable Monday hight especially
when the attendance was compared
with that OF previous Monday
meetings..
The address was couched in ques-
ton form, the text beng Jno. 1888,
and from that text Mr.. Hunt gave
one Of the most powerful talks to
which the people have listened.
''The words of our text" said the
speaker, have sometimes been called
Jesus first Sermon" Then followed
a brief but interesting comment up
on the verses surrounding the text.
All this naturally led to the main
thought that Mr.. Hunt sought, and
with Egreat success, the need ana
value Of Jesus Christ.
Mr.. Hunt appealed to his hearers
to seek Christ then. 1.-THE Kingdom OF
God is not far off, it is within you'
or may be within you tonight and
heaven itself be begun here upon
EARTH"
""To seek the kingdom OF God is to
put God first" Although this was
self-evident to perhaps all present,
vet the earnest way of telling 1T
made many realize it as they had
not before.
Among the many excellencies OF
Mr.. Hunts speaking is the direct
way he has OF putting things. He
does not spread himself over a vast
range OF thought to the Dewilder-
ment of his audience, but relating
one and that the most central truth
of the subject he unfolds it and
drives it home and clinches it with
argument, illustration and appeal.
All the after meetings have been ex-
cellent, but last nights surpassed
them all.
Professional men, business men.
working men, as well as women and
young people gladly testified to
what Jesus had done for them. Mr..
Hunt kept before them the thought.
"What seek ye'' and scores roset to tell
what they were seeking, some seek
ing to be now helped, Others seek
ing to bring souls unto Christ, Others
again to live more like Christ, and
still others to find Christ, and many
found Him last night.
Previous to the address Mr.. Hunt
read the testimony of a leading
lawyer in the southern part OF the
state. This testimony tells of the
experience of the narrator and OF his
Joy in returning to Christ and made Il
deep and most favorable impression
upon the audience.
The singing of Mr.. Browning is
undoubtedly making Il great
permanent impression on the people
of the city.
Three pieces were sung as solos,
"What must it he to be there" also
''Seeking for me-" This followed
the sermon. and as the sweet
tender tones died away, the
evangelist gave the various in
vitation to those seeking the Saw
The closing solo was:
"SaviOur more than life to me
lam clinging, clinging close to
thee.
Let thy precious blood applied
Keep me ever, ever near thy side. :"
