Christian Endeavorers Would Meet Across
the Ocean.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.-"London in
1900" That is to be the rallying Cry of the
Christian Endeavorers for the next three
years. 1t is the ambition of President
Clark and his millions of followers to
show the old world something of the
strength of their organization. Nash
vile has already been chosen as the
place of meeting in 1898, and Denver,
St. Louis and Cincinnati are anxious to
have the convention of '99. All that
can be said now is that the matter is
unsettled, and all applicants have an
equal chance of success.
Many Meetings Held.
1t has been busy day for the men,
bers of the organization. Many meet
ings have been held, all, however, be-
ing devotional in character. The topic
for the early morning prayer meeting
was prayer for church services and pas
tors. Nearly every church found it
necessary to close the doors before the
beginning of the services, so great was
the throng Of earnest worshippers. In
several instances overflow meetings
were held. The great gathering of the
day was the afternoon meeting in Me-
chanics pavilion, presided over by Pres
ident Clark.

NOT A CANDIDATE.

DR.. e. J. Davis states that he has
made up his mind positively not to be
a candidate for reelection to the
school board Saturday. He states
that the duties of member of the
board have taken much of his time,
and his appointment to the pension
board will take more of his time. He
feels that it would be an injustice to
himself to take so much time that is
needed in his practice. DR.. Davis has
made an excellent member of the
board, and all friends of the public
schools of the city will regret his de-
termination. No one has been promi-
nently mentioned as possible sue

PETERS CASE ADJOURNED.

The case of the Peters brothers
charged with stealing cattle from
Schweitzer & Hodapp, was called in
the municipal court Friday forenoon
and at the request of County Attor-
ney Hughes postponed until 800 p
m. At the latter hour it was con-
tinued until Monday morning. An
agreement will probably be effected,
whereby they will plead guilty to the
charge of petit larceny and be sen.
fenced to three months in Jail and to
pay the costs of the action. A settle
ment has been made with Schweitze1
& Hodapp and the St. Peter butcher
and they do not desire to proceed

ing Ferd inand WiegeIt.

After being out nearly twenty-four
hours, the jury in the case of Anna
Diemel returned into the court room
at $3.50 C'clock Friday fternoon and re-
ported that it was unable to agree,
and that there was no prospect that
it could come together. The court

court cases. The jury was discharged
for the term.
The jury in the Diemel case stood
six for conviction and six for
acuuiJtal. The states attorneys
feel confident that at the next tria
of the case, which will be at the
November term, they will secure a
convicLiDn. There seems to be nc
doubt mat Mrs. Diemel injured her
case il the minds of the listeners by
her own testimony. If the defense
intended to put Mrs. Diemels parents
Mr.. auo Mrs. Tochtrop, on the stand
they cn4nged their minds.
Ferdln and Weigelt appeared before
the court at 200 p. m. to receive SEN
tence tor obstructing highway in

that lie would postpone pro-
