houses held long sessions this morning

were perhaps equaled in impressive
ness only by the services Of opening
day. About 3 o'clock the bishops put
on their official robes in the assembly
room in Knickerlmcker hall and pro-
ceefled to the church through the apart
ments connecting the two buildings.
In the church they were seated in the
chancel. The deputies filled the usual
seats, and a large congregation was in
the galleries. The opening hymn was
followed by three collects. After AL
other hymn the Nicene creed was re-
peatcd and three more collects fol-
lowed. Then Bishop Littlejohn read

Ons velocity In the present campaign.
The federal ohiceholders and other
Dicklnsonians to-day fought this ef-
fort, with ultimate success after hard

racked with an attempt of some lead

''DO YOU know, he had a plan to kill
his brother Adry, who is the one he
hates the worst. He was to have the
job done. but it was to lie done so that
no one would know 1t was n murder.
1t was to he arranged this way. Harry
was to forge short note, In Adry's
handwriting, which was to be given to
the parties who were to do the deed.
When they had killed him. and had laid
him out stiff. they were to put that note
in the pocket of the corpse, so that it
would be found and read. This note
was to say how 1\dry was stung with
remorse over the part he had played in
his brothers trial, how it was all Il lie
he had told. and that 1t was he who
had been the means of the whole trag-
edy, and Harry was innocent. 1t was
to conclude by saying that he had
taken his own life In remorse and to
escape the law. In that way he was
to try to get clear himself and get re-
venge on his brother. Then, after he
was free, he was to begin to do up all
his other enemies to the very last one.

THE JIM GONE DRY.

so Water at Aberdeen While the
Stream In Full Above and below.
Aberdeen, 5. d., Oct. 24.-Teams can
now cross the James river ut will on
the dry bottom wherever the ap-
pronches are not too precipitous and
rough. At one place farmer has act
ually sunk well in the center Of the
river bed. where the water had run in
torrents in its balmy seasons, for the
purpose Of getting drink for stock.
Except for occasional pools and an ex-
ira deep recess, the shining circle and
wind Of the river for miles and miles
have disappeared.
At Oakes and north there is still
plenty of water in the river, and in
many places the banks are nearly full.
AT Huron the river still pours it's wa
ters over the dam. There is, in fact,
plenty Of water above and below lis, a
circumstance which certainly goes to
sustain the theory that an under
ground passageway exists. The Pc
culiar conditions are certainly hard to
explain in any other way.

Of testimony in rebuttal was at once
hcKun by the prosecution. The testi.
nony was the most important given
during the trial, as 1t conflicted With
several vital statements made by Dur
rant Willie he WAS on the stand. The
testimony Of Dr.. Gilbert +. Graham,
for instance, is considered by many to
sweep away Durrant's entire defense.
Graham. who is a medical student and
an intimate friend Of Durrant, told the
sensational interview that took place
between himself and the prisoner at
the county Jail on April 20. DIR. Gra-
ham was accompanied to the prison by

Blue Earth City. Oct. 23-The Frcund
persecution is Il humbug. He has nev-
er been molested personally. The win
dows to his saloon were broken on
two occasions in the night. once after
the developments in the Clara Ober
case. and again after his release on
bail by Judge Severance. Recently his
saloon was entered in the night and
the liquors emptied from the casks. but
1t is not believed that outside parties
did 1t. The general opinion here is
that Freund's latest action was taken
for the purpose of securing change
Of venue. should the grand jury in
dict him. The attempts to burn his
house have never been heard of here;
neither has the secret society he claims
as existing here to destroy him ever
been heard Of before. He goes and
comes at will OH the street without in
suit or disturbance. except an OCCASION
al encounter with the mother of the
dead girl.
