BLA4iEs 1T TO IMMORTALITY.
Rev. r. n. AvisOnys Ideas of tho
Present Industrial Situation.

Rev. r. N. Avison preached before
large congregation at the Clinton Ave
nue. Methodist church last evening
UPON the subject. 1.-THE Present IN
dustrial Situation" selecting his text
from Kings xviii, 1919: "And 1t came
to pass when Ahab saw Elijah that
Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that
troubleth Israel? And he answered,
have not troubled Israel; but thou
and thy fathers house, in that We have
forsaken the commandments Of the
Lore, and thou hast fallowed Ba1aam.'"
He said in part M e~, .-'
81 presume the picture is familiar
to nearly all present. where famine
had visited the land of Samaria and for
three years and six months they had
no rain. 1t was not moral difficulty
entirely, although it probably was a
result of immortality, and was stated to
be punishment for immortality. I
imagine that all banking institutions
and commercial industries had failed,
and the question was asked, as it Is to-
day: What is the reason These are
the effects; but to what cause must we
assign them? You will find that it is
attributable largely to moral causes.
That differs widely from what you see
in the papers Men attribute the con-
dition Of things now to one of three
causes. First Is the change of admin
istration. Now, friends, if you would
stop to think you would see the alb
surdity of this I have no doubt what
ever that the change was the occasion,
but it was not the cause. The cause
had been at work all these years, and
when some agency furnished the occa-
sion we had the result. Others attrib-
ute it to financial causes Anything
that touches our bank accounts is of
vital Importance to every man. even
if his possessions amount to only 100
cents. Our wisest men differ widely as
to the condition Of our present finan-
cial system.
Other attribute 1t to over-production.
| but l find hundreds of thousands of
people in Impoverished circumstances.
II believe the supreme cause is i'm
| morality. That is something you
don't often hear. It is the result of
selfishness. Selfishness is the very
essence Of sin and you will find it
everywhere. Every man for himself
There is one besetting sin of American
people in this country and it is to take
crosscuts to everything. How many
| innocent bankers and merchants have
been forced to the wall by the upright
| eouS dealings of those whom they had
trusted. One remedy is that we go
back to the principles as described in
| the constitution of the United States.
What we want today is liberty to write
proclamations of emancipation and en-
| force them at the point of the bayonet.
| We have institutions legalized and pro-
| tected that are simply sapping the
vitaIs Of our citizenship, and at the
very heart of our moral and religious
| institutions The one institution that
is working for the uplifting of the
people is the church of Jesus Christ"

FIRE TEST NOT WEIRD.
Ordinary Manifestation Of Spiritual-
iSSfc Phenomena


The Christian Union Spiritua list so
ciety held meetings at Odd Fel.ow.j'
hall, Fifth and Wabasha streets, at
and p m. yesterday. Mrs. Porter
kayner, Of Chicago, gave spirit trets
at the afternoon meeting. Mrs. Ke!nAr
was announced to give lire tests IN
the evening. The Intention saVored Of
necromancy and diabolism, anu e.i-
tracted many people who Iaihaps OK

er portly and an1iable lady, and sh..
didn't give the fire tests at all. When
given, the test is said to suggest, not
Beeizebub, but a professor of parior
magic. Mrs. Kayner lights real fire.,
if a little one, and endeavors success
fully not to burn, by direct exposure
to the flames, such salamander-likc
things as a cambria handkerchief
Last night, however, Mrs. Kayner con-
tented herself with talking to spirits
that were excessively timid, consider
ing that their presence was seen AMI
heard by only one woman, while they
themselves were present in crowds.
Mrs. Kayner's spirits wouldn't stand
still, and they sometimes talked 100
fast to be understood Unless fire.

Naturally, Mrs. Kayner's spirits did
not always identify themselves, per-
fectly. One of them revealed to a
woman that the woman hated old
maids. The woman said that was so.
She thought old maids were horrid."
The audience applauded, and scared
the life out of the spirits, so to speak.
After Mrs. Kayner had psycb ,ologically
dragged her friends out of their hid
ing places by the feet and advised
them that, if they couldn't keep steady,
they must be as steady as they could,
she made them reveal to her that an
old man on the platform had had
something happen to him in 1878. She
didn't say what it was, but it had
turned out for the best He agreed
with her. The spirits told him TO 'be
brave and he would come out all
right" He said he would. Finally
sweet little girl bearing some violets,
came UP behind the G o b e reporter,
and whispered, via the platform, that
she was the reporters sister. But all
his sisters became so at ma
ture age. He looked his disbelief of the

SUICIDE SUGGESTED NOW.
Theory That Frank NOstaI Was
Tired of Life

Tired of Life.
1t was rumored yesterday that the
death Of Frank Kostal, who was killed
by an Omaha switch engine Saturday
night, was not an accident but q de-
nberate suicide. There seems little to
support this theory, however, except
the statements made by KostaPs two
companions. Joseph Kasal, of $50 West
Seventh street, and Mat Hoffner, of $40
warsaw street, both laborers employed
at the Washington foundry, Eagle and
washington streets, who were walking
with kostal at the time of the accident
asserted yesterday what they did not
publicly mention Saturday night, name
ly, that Kostal ran ahead of them and
threw himself beneath the wheels of the
switch engines tender. Kasal and
Hoffner also said yesterday that, but a
few moments before Kostal was killed.
he had jumped before the engine Of a
freight train passing on the same track,
but that they had dragged him to one
side. They were not anticipating a
repetition of the attempt or they would
have retained hold on him and pre-
vented his subsequent self-destruction
The only assignable reason for Kostals
desiring death lay in the alleged facts
that he had been out Of employment for
several months last year and had thus
accumulated quantity of debts
Coroner Whitcomb will investigate
the case today and decide whether an
inquest is advisable The remains will
be buried from the undertaking rooms

TURNED DOWN OLD SOLDIERS.

How the Republican City Hall Conn
mission Treated Them.
The Republican city hall and court
house commission Of Ramsey county
has not only turned out a scrubwoman
and cripple, but has gone back on the
old soldier
Nicholas Flynn, Of the Second ward,
pointed his trusty bayonet southwark
during the late unpleasantness. Mr..
Flynn's loyalty to the political party
claiming the emancipation Of the Afro
American led him to aspire to q place
on the Janitor force OF the court house
and city hall. Thanks to the Republi-
can majority in the joint coJft mouse
and city hall commission, Mr.. Flynn
was appointed. Then it was he real
lied the ingratitude Of his party
OF all the duties devolving upon the
employees Of this institution that of eIe-
vator man appealed to Mr.. Flynn with
irresistible force. Mr.. Flynn was aware
that these slow but surely ascending
engines could not possibly achieve
many trips per day. Naturally he en-
Wed the present engineers. Imagine
his opinion Of the Republican party
when, like Nebuchadnezzar, he was
turned out to grass, told, in short, that
it would be his duty during the sum-
mer season to suppress the grass sur
rounding the court house. Keep it
down and keep 1t green for six months!
The momentous inquiry at once sug-
gested itself to Mr.. Flynn, how shall I
subsist during the remaining six
months? For an answer to this ques-
ton, Mr.. Flynn is respectfully referred
to the observation Of another old SOL
der, who remarked Saturday to a SYM
pathizing group gathered about him
On the first floor corridor of the court
house:
'If ere Nick, I'd let the grass grow
till 1t came up to me mouth, then I'd
eat it,"
But there is still another old soldier.
His name Is Lawrence Fahey. Mr..
Fahey was the proprietor Of the cigar
stand on the first floor. Mr.. Fahey
bore arms for the Union a generation
ago. What did the Republican
commission do for Mr.. Fahey? How
did those descendants of the e. O. d.
recognize Mr.. Fahey's patriotism?
They simply turned him down and out.

of Sousa's grand concert band, was
born in Washington. D. c., 1854, Of

VISITED THE POOR FARM.
Grand Jury Committee Makes an
Official Visit.

M. E. Miller, Joseph Jockey and D.
E. Horrigan, committee from the
grand jury, visited the poor farm one
day last week. They went out unan-
nounced, but found everything in as
good shape as they would have expect
ed to find it had they sent word they
were going. There are eighty-one in
mates at the institution at the pres
emit time, and they are receiving the
best of attention. The superintendent
showed the committee the buildings
and ground, the well-filled cellar and
the stock. They have a mammoth hog
at the farm which it is hoped will con-
tinue to grow until he has outgrown
the big porker displayed at the worlds
fair. He now weighs 500 pounds and
continues to take on flesh
The committee will report to the
grand jury when it reassembles that
everything is all right at that institu-
ton.
