and In the perpetuity of the ten COM

mandment they base their observance

they think that the dead sleep until the

tion Of the wicked occurs. The doc
trine Of eternal punishment, or hell fire,

who can do so to sell out and go forth
to preach the truth. Consequently,
many have left, having sold their homes
for what they would bring and have
gone to different parts of the world.
Many more have, their places offered
for sale. This does not decrease the
population of the city, for converts TO
the faith are coming in daily.
Battle Creek has been the head
quarters of the church for years.
The growth of the denomination has
been rapid. In 1850 James White, now
deceased, who was the founder of Ad-
ventism, started in Middletown, Conn ;,
small paper called the Present Truth.
The paper was devoted to the teach
ings of the doctriue of the Sabbath,
or the seventh day. He edited and set
the type for the paper himself. For
several months he carried the entire
edition seven miles in a bag on his
back to the postoffce to be mailed. In
1855 the paper was removed to Battle
Greek and the headquarters of the
church established there. 1t was due
to Whites efforts that the church has
prospered.
From a little printing office in a
garnet the business has grown until now
the Adventists have the largest print
ing office in Michigan, the largest one
on the Pacific coast, at Oakland, Cal. F;
Offices in Melbourne, Australia; Chris
tiana, Norway; Basic, Switzerland,
and in London. The value of the FIVE
establishments is estimated at over
100000. Books and papers are
printed in these offices in every kno vn
tongue. The years business just closed
by the Battle Creek office was the
largest of any business concern in the
world, with one exception. Their
medical and surgical sanitarium at Bat
tie Creek is the largest in the world.
They have colleges in Walla Walla,

A Special from Tacoma saws that the

city who has handled several hundred
car loads of Pacific coast fruit last
season, also G. w. Barnette, of Bar
nette Brothers, Chicago, whose firm
handled over 200 car loads of these de-
ciduous fruits, will be present at the
fruit growers convention on February
IA at Spheane. Several of the princi-
pal fruit commission merchants of St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha are also
expected. These gentlemen will ali
favor the fruit growers with valuable
information in regard to organization,
fruit growing and shipping.
1t has been suggested that specimens
OF fruits such as winter apples, dried
prunes, and anything on hand that is
choice, be brought to the convention
from different orchards of the north
west by those who attend.
A commission firm at Kansas City
writes that they are looking to the
west for their supply of fruit. Winter
apples are quoted by them from s415 to
SIS per box, and they say there is great
demand for winter apples even at
those prices.

ERRORS OF THE COURT
Northern Pacific Train Robber and MUIR.
derer Gets Lease on Life Through
Couple of Errors.


Judge Knowles, in the United States
court at Helena, granted new trial to
Charles Jones, the Northern Pacific
train robber, convicted of murder in the
first degree for the killing of Henry
Schubert, one of the posse who went
with Deputy Marshal Jackson to arrest
a gang near Midvale in October last.
The'iudge, in granting the new trial.
said the court had erred in not present
ing to the jury the fact that thhre was
an intermediary degree for the Jones
offense, that of manslaughter, between
conviction of murder In the first degree
and acquittal. Another reason was
that the trial was conducted on the
theory that deputy United States mar
shall had the right to arrest the crimi-
nal on the Indian reservation for VIC
lation of state law. The Judge said
there were no errors of the jury.

nation. The large altar was cleared,
but it was not large enough to hold the
donations that came from the over
flowing hearts of the worshipers of this
peculiar faith.
Those who had it gave money, those
who had no money gave personal prop
erty. Women took off their rings, men
gave their watches. John German gave
his house and lot, valued at 81 900.
Other men gave lots. Two gentlemen
gave their overcoats. One lady took off
her sealskin cloak and laid it on the
altar.
Alderman Gerould, a prominent poll
tician of Battle Creek, gave a gold
watch and his wife gave her silver
ware. Professor Prescott, the head Of
the college, gave his check for IS, 900.
When the gift giving ceased, 1t was
seen that the altar was filled to over
flowing with watches, rings, cloaks,
coats, bicycles, silverware, brooches,
and, in fact, almost everything of value
in the shape of personal property that
one could conceive Of In all, there
were eight watches, seventy gold rings
and fifty brooches. The total value of
the contributions is estimated at S25,-
600. This, the largest donation ever
made by this church, is believed to be
the largest ever made by any religious
society. over 30 per cent of the doners
are persons that work every day for
what they get. But this is only por-
tion of the donations made by these
Jealous people. The most of the men,
bers regularly give one-tenth of what
they earn every week for the support
of the church. Besides this, they con-
tribute literally to the support of the
poor, but none of the Adventist them
selves can be classed as poor, for as a
rule, they are prosperous.

is approaching, the elders have advised

MUCH MONEY GIVEN AWAY

People May BE Warned of the APP

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Feb. 6.-There
is an enthusiastic colony of Seventh Day
Adventists in this city who believe that
the end of the world is near at hand.
They predict a grand cataclysm at no
distant day. The most powerful reason
for this reckless forecast is that Mrs.
Ellen White, the mother of Adventism,
has had vision. In this vision she as
serts that the Lord told her that the
world would come to an end in a short
time.
The accuracy of Mrs. Whites visions
is never questioned by her followers
they say she has never deceived them.
They believe she is more prophetic
even than Cassandra of old. Nothing
can shake their belief in her ability to
discount the future, not even the arrest
and Imprisonment of many of her fol
lowers by the authorities in Louisiana,
Georgia, Maryland, Arkansas and Ten
nessee.
