to large crowd, mostly strangers of our
faith. On returning to the church for
evening service he found 600 people there
to greet him. This was due to Bro.

GUS lines OF Y. P. G. U. work was held, the
interest and enthusiasm manifested be-
ing the best possible prophecy Of the
future of our church.
The evening exercises began with
truly devotional meeting, led by Miss
Waldo, of Potsdam. This was followed
by platform meeting in which the
presidents of three State Unions par
ticipated, Case. of New York, Booth, of
Vermont, and Veazey of Tennessee-as
we'll as Bishop ~ Lund Of New York.
Addresses and discussion of the topic:
what May We expect this Organiza-
ton to Accomplish filed the hearts
and minds Of the delegates with the
most hopeful sort of enthusiasm.
The illness of Pastor Tuttle was the
only thing to mar the pleasure Of the
Convention, and the warm hearted, true
Universalist hospitality of the Potsdam
people will never be forgotten by those
who were 80 wise, and so fortunate as to
attend.
Vacation is over at the Canton Theo-
logical School, and nearly all the stu
dents have returned, with minds re-
freshed and appetites for study renewed
by visits to homes and friends. Those
who have been out to preach, especially
in this vicinity, have experienced the
pleasure of being snowbound; many
plans being interfered with by the Storm
King; but as may be expected, theologi-
cal students are philosophers, and rise
superior to the elements, when necessity
demands it, so that no regrets are heard.
"Who will enter Canton next fall?" is
a question that is already being asked
here, and awakening the interest of the
undergraduates. Several of our active
young workers have decided to do SO,
and hopes are bright for class that
shall be large in it's probabilities, as we'll
as in it's possibilities and numbers.
"Dinna ye hear the slogan?" It has
awakened the missionary spirit of our
church. and if our UNCONVENTIONAL ears
are not too badly affected by the deaf
ness of indifference. we shall accomplish
something more than usual in this year
of our Lord.
The admonition in a recent issue of
Onward, for our young people not to
come to Boston without having done
something for the cause, worthy of re-
joicing, ought to engage our attention
for few moments. Don't let the idea
of good time at the Convention be
your only thought. Do something that
will be worth telling at the meeting,
that will mark you as 365 day-worker
for the cause. Then you will have a
good time at Boston because you have
contributed something to the pleasure
and the success of the meeting.
Gray heads may we'll devote thought
to this too. H.L.v.

LETTER FROM CANTON.

ment of our faith. To help secure this
unity of action and loyalty we would
everywhere join our women in an organ
ization which will be so broad in it's
spirit, SO inspiring in its motives, so de
finite in it's purposes that everywhere
they will rally and will stand with solid
front, marching onward to victory.
This organization will be pre-eminent-
ly religious; it will require the holding
of devotional meetings at least once
month, when the women will discuss out
of the fulness OF their hearts topics
which are vital to the true life OF our
church; it will require of them the APP
pointment of charitable committee
which will carry into it's work the spirit
OF the motto. mot aliens but friends"
and so become real reformers and help
ers in these days when poverty and mis-
fortune are all about US; it will require
the appointment Of hospitality commit
tees to make welcome the stranger with
in the gates; it will emphasize the social
life of the church; it will set the women
at work in every line which tends
towards the building up of the home
church. Then with these women we'll
organized in the local churches, we
would gather them together into great
strong State organization which will al.
ways be full of life, energy and enthusi-
asm; which will always be working most
zealously for the extension of Universal
ism, for the establishment of the king
dom right here in this old earth. Can
all this be done? Yes; we speak out OF
our experience. 1t can be made living,
quickening reality, and will bless and
strengthen all who are apart Of it.

A PECULIAR STORM
DARKNESS PREVAILS
IN THE SOUTHWEST.
Wind, sand and Electricity Pfay
Havoc In Kansas, Colorado and
Oklahosnn-A Muddy Rain
Falls In Oklahoma
Territory.
SEVERAL HOUSES DEMOLISHED.
A Cyclone Strikes Near Cherokee,
Kan, Wrecking Farm Houses
One Man Killed.

Kansas City, April 1S.-A storm Of
great severity pcssed over Eastern
Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and the
Southwest generally. In Colorado
and Kansas 1t is believed considerable
damage was done. Reports from Ok
hhoma state that destructive wind
and sand storm passed over Southern
Kansas and Oklahoma yesterday
evening, doing much damage to crops.
peculiar feature of the storm was
the intense darkness and the extra
ordinary electrical display. The at
mosphere was surcharged with elec-
tricity, ana several persons and
horses We're stunned and shocked by
electric shocks. In the western part
Of Oklahoma and the pan handle,
Egyptian darkness prevailed. Such q
peculiar storm has seldom been seen,
and the superstitiOus thought the as
Economical conditions which. it has
been claimed by the South Carolina
minister, are now repeating them
selves for the first time since the
death OF Christ had something to do
with it. The rain that fell in Western
Oklahoma was actually a shower of
mud.
A cyclone struck the house of Frank
Good, three miles west of Cherokee,
Kan, and literally tore it to pieces,
scattering debris all over the corn
field. Mr.. Good had his neck dislo-
Gated and will die. Mrs. Good was
caught under the roof and pinned to
the ground. her clothes taking fire.
Her screams attracted the neighbors,
who rescued her in time to save her
life. She is not seriously injured.
Half a dozen other farm houses in the
immediate vicinity were also demol-
tshed, but nobody else was hurt.

HE DID RIGHT.
The senate Investigating Com mittes
Acauit Surgeon Merrill.


st. Paul, April 1S-Senators McHale,
Masterman and Knatvold. as spe-
cial committee appointed by the SEN
ate to investigate the charge made
against Surgeon Merrill, of the Still
water prison. growing out of the am
putation of the arm of James ONeill,
q prisoner for life from Sibley county,
have made their inquiry.
A complaint was made by the pris-
oner's brother. John O'Neill, who said
that the amputation had been made
without the consent of the patient, or
the prisoners family, or even the pris-
ON wlrlt:l. His charges were laid
before the senate by Senator McHale.
and 1t was pursuant to these that the
committee was appointed.
1t was found by the committee that
the amputation had been made with
out the express consent Of the patient
or without definite notice that ampu-
tation might he found necessary. This
was admitted by Surgeon Merrill.
But it was found that he had acted in
good faith and upon his best judg-
ment. 1t was shown that O'Neill had
tuberculosis of the joint Of his arm,
and that the doctor did not know how
severe the disease had become until
lie began the operation. He had taken
the precaution to secure the co-opera-
tfon of another physician for the ope-
ration.
The committee will recommend that
there is no cause to believe that the
surgeon had exceeded the discretion
which lie must have in order to do his
duty. This is particularly appropri-
ate, they think, in view Of the fact
that the bone was exhibited to them
and that O'Neill now has his ankle in
a plaster cast suffering from the same
disease, and that, too, may have to
come off.

NO CONCESSION.

Great britain Will Force Compliance
With Her Nicarnguan Ultimatum.
London, April 1S.-The Globe says
that the answer of Nicaragua to the
ultimatum of Great Britain regarding
the expulsion of Mr.. Hatch, British
consular agent, from Nicaraguan ter
ritory, is not acceptable to the British
government, and that steps to enforce
the ultimatum will be taken ilnmedi-
ately.
Washington, April 1S.-It is impossi-
BILE to secure from the state depart
ment anything like an explanation Of
the attitude it has assumed toward
the dispute between England and
Nicaragua, beyond the declaration
that tile map of Nicaragua will not be
changed by fny action on the part of
Great Britain. This means, of course,
that Great Britain will not lie per-
mitted to acquire any of the territory
OF Nicaragua, even under color of the
old protectorate over the Mosquito
reservation, which originally extend
ed southwark to the San Juan river
and SO commanded the Eastern ap-
proach to the proposed Nica1aguan
canal, to the construction of which the
United States now stands committed
by the action Of the last congress.
The announcement made in London
that Great Britain had declared the
Nicaraguan response to her ultimatum
I'd be insufficient, was fully expected
by the state department.
