Contradictory Story.


New York, Feb. 3.-William Kurtz
said that he had been connected with
Cradle in many of his deals. He said:
Mr. CRADLES deals with the bank have
extended over a considerable period.
AS / understand him, he was well
known to all the officials. To my
knowledge he has owed the bank $780,
900 at one time and liquidated the debt.
Thus he has gone on contracting obli-
cations and discharging them. At the
beginning of last week the total
amount of CRADLES indebtedness to the
bank was $201,0O0. 1t seems that Mr..
Quinlan had not reported the latest
transaction to President Williams at
the time 1t was made, but did SO later"
President Williams yesterday declar-
ed that he knew nothing about Cradle
and had not heard of him until Quin-
land told his story. Mr.. Kurtz's state
ment is a fiat contradiction Of what
President Williams said.
Judge F. G. Hammer of Kearney,
Neb., who was Mr.. CRADLES counsel
was at Mr. CRADLES office to-day. He
said that Cradle had never failed in
any of his enterprises He denied Mr.
KurtZ's statement. He believed that II
Cradle had not been pressed he could
have easily paid off his present indebt-
edness to the bank. CRADLES western
companies, he stated, were all prosper
GUS. He said he supposed CRADLES
property, If realized on, would bring
$1,000,000 over and above Mr.. CRADLES
total Indebtedness. Judge Hammer
was shown a dispatch from Omaha
stating that, among others, he was SUI
ing the property of Cradle for $500.
Judge Hammer said that he knew
nothing of this suit. President Will
liams when shown dispatch from st.
Louis containing an interview with
Cradle stating that Mr.. Williams had
been a stockholder in one of CRADLES
companies for several years, said "It
is wrong for this man to try to mix me
up in his schemes. 1t is true that I
have been connected with one of his
companies, but it was a trifing matter,
not more than two or three thousand
dollars"

THE MAMMOTH CAVE.

Entrance Reproduced in Soap at F. NJ.
Brown & Co.'S.
A very clever reproduction of the en-
trance to the Mammoth Cave may be
seen in F. NJ. Brown & Co.'S basement
1t is built entirely out of soap, and
the arched roof reflects the brightness
of stalactite and stalagmite as seen in
the great cave. Liberty surmounts the
apex, and the axiom, America owes
it's great civilization to the use of
SOAP decorates the facade.

morning with large crowd Of specta-
tors present. Mr.. Barbour offered a
map of Springfield as evidence to show
through what streets F. J. Adams said
he saw the man pass whom he alleged
that he saw throw bundle from the
bridge on the morning of January "a.
This closed the evidence and the ar
guments began at once. Assistant
State Attorney Wheeler opened for the
state. He defined the crime of arson and
said that burning under such circum-
stances as occurred at the Tontine on
December rs constituted arson. He
said there was not hint of motive
that could be entertained against Cook
in the way of revenge and that the
only motive that could be attributed
to him was to get the money which
was to be paid to him for setting the
fire. He said that Captain Hodgdon
had ill feeling towards White and that
Cook had not. He held that the state
had proven>by his own admission that
Captain Hodgdon had grudge against
Mr.. White. He stamped as ridiculous
the insinuation of the defense that
Cook was not of sound mind and sa ID
that Captain Hodgdon Knew Cook we'll,
gained his confidence, and knew him
to be a bright minded man who coIld
do such job if he could be prevailed
upon to undertake it. Mr.. Wheeler
held that the fact was clear beyond
reasonable doubt that Cook was hired
by Captain Hodgdon to burn the hotel.
He urged that every material fact tes-
titled to concerning Cooks presence in
| the Haynes house on December "a
| pointed to the guilt of Captain Hodg-
don. He said that the money found in

THAT DREYFUS SCANDAL.
Lesson to All the Nations of
Europe.

Rev. w. w. Everts Said 1t Should BE
a Lesson to All the Nations of
Europe.
The French government received a
rebuke for it's attitude in the Dreyfus
scandal, at the hands of Rev. w. w.
GVerts, pastor Of the Woodlawn Park
Baptist church, last evening, in a pre-
lude to the regular sermon in which
the minister condemned the methods
employed in the persecution Of Dreyfus,
reviewing the case and pointing out the
dangers Of g. military government.
The star chamber court that convicted
Dreyfus, the speaker said, showed the
perils of military rule and the value
OF jury trial. With no semblance of
justice. he said, the Jewish officer had
been convicted, and now, in the dis
closures and additional scandal atten-
dant upon the suicide of Lieut.. Col.
Henry, who confessed to forging the
documents that disgraced Dreyfus, the
French government was paying the
penalty for wrongfully trying to right
a wrong. No matter was settled, the
speaker said, unless settled right, and
the Dreyfus matter had not been right
ly settled by sending an innocent man
into exile, though for time the ma
tOnal honor may have appeared to be
uESuIIGQ.
AS a result of the falsifying and rep
rehensible methods Of the Dreyfus trial.
Mr.. Everts said international trouble
was imminent Estween France and
Germany. The German emperor, he said
was about to withdraw his ambassador
if certain papers concerning Germany
were used in the reopening of the Drey-
fus matter, claiming that these papers
were also forged. as were the docu-
ments which convicted Dreyfus. Then,
too, the relations between France and
Russia were imperiled, because it was
claimed that the information alleged
to have been sold to Germany had been
transmitted through Russian agencies,
and if this fact should be established,
the speaker said, there might ensue a
European war among the great powers.
Such consequences he attributed to the
wrongful persecution of Dreyfus.
In conclusion the speaker drew at
tention to the fact that Dreyfus was
a Jew, and referred to his race being
Gods chosen people and directly at
tributed some of the French govern
ment's difficulties to the persecution Of
one of these people. He also warned
against the idolzing Of the army in
the United States, and declared the
dav should never come when the mill
tary powers would supersede the civil
government.

The Minnesota Christian Endeavorers pro-
pose to hold their annual convention this
year at New Uim, in October. This promises
to be a remarkable convention In two re-
spects: First, as the New Ulm people have
offered prizes for the largest delegations, 1t

ever held outside of the Twin Cities; second
all the speakers, with the exception Of Gen.
ecM Secretary Baer of Boston, viii be En-
" ayorers from the state.
There will be a special train from ST.. Paul

fair, Secretary Randall said that part
of the expected $4,000 surplus will un-
doubtedly be used in renovating and
repainting the grand stand and other
buildings. The grand stand and the
main building are sadly in need Of
paint, while other minor repairs must
be made, and as this Is the best sea-
son for painting the work Will doubt
less be commenced as soon as the COM
plete financial returns are in. The wa1''
of a new agricultural building is i'm
perative, Secretary Randall says, and
the legislature will be requested to ap-
propriate funds to erect more COM
nodious building by the next fair.
A meeting of the board of managers
to receive a final accounting will be
held at the grounds this week, either
tomorrow or Wednesday.

but the war has given Europe new
sense Of the Importance Of this coun-
Much has been published here re-
garding the unfr4end1y attitude Of Ger
many, but as matter of fact, most
OF the German papers have pSen
friendly in their utterances about this
country. The Cologne Gazette has been
conspicuously hostile, but local condt-
tions explain it's attitude. Berlin pa
pers have been fair, while the Munich
and Frankfort papers have been par
ticularly friendly. Every one regarded
the success OF the Americans as tnevi-
table from the first, and the chief anx-
Iety was for a. speedy termination.
Europeans regarded it as commercially
dangerous.
"The chief effect Of the war was to
restrict the number Of American tour
lists, and as their coming was like the
gentle dew on the thirsty ground to
hotel keepers, they were missed. The
war increased respect for America, and
the general impression was that the
deeds Of our navy and military forces
were marvellous.
Il was in England when Bismarck
died, and his death created q profound
impression. But the most sensational
feature Of his death was the publica-
tion in the London Times Of an article
ny LII. DuoO1l, III WHICH II WIS SllOWH
that Bismarck took to himself the
credit for the Franco-Prusslan war.
and that he regarded Emperor Will
liam l. a weak man whom he had to
encourage to fight. This was the gen
eral impression Of the emperor in Eu-
rope, but it never had been SO bluntly
stated with such authority, and 1t made
no little sensation.
England seems prosperous. Crops
there are good, and business Of all
kinds is excellent The chief excite
ment there Is the fight between the
high and low churchmen OF the Church
Of England. The high church party
seemed to be gaining strength. and the
opposition was quite violent, and any
number Of churches were mobbed while
we were in that country"
Mr.. Smith off1ciated at the service
last night and delivered g. short ad-
dress on his travels. He said he was
very glad to return home and was
more than ever satisfied that this Is
the best country in the world.

GINNER is DRIVEN OUT.
Primate OF the New Apostolic Church
of America Is ExcOmmunicated
by Episcopal RishOIp Gilbert.

Primate OF the New Apostolic Church
of America Is Excommunicated
by Episcopal bishop Gilbert.
Is Samuel G. Ginner, of this city, to
be Americas Martin Luther?
He has made somewhat of a start
by being eXcommunicated and starting
a new church.
But he was not communicated by
the pope, and he is not going to fol-
low Martins example and call his re-
ligiOus following the Ginnerlans.
Mr.. Ginner's new denomination, about
which more or less has appeared from
time to time in the public prints, is to
be known as the Apostolic Church Of
America" and it only leaked out yes
terday that he had been eXcOmmuni-
Gated by Coadjutor Bishop Mahlon N.
Gilbert, Of the Protestant Episcopal
diocese OF Minnesota, with which Nj.
Ginner was formerly affiliated.
The new church had a meeting at
the residence of Rt. Rev. Samuel G.
Ginner, at which 1t was resolved that
the office Of primate created by char
ter shall be the head Of the church;
and that a court of cardinal arch
bishops be created, and that each car
dinal archbishop shall preside over the
spiritual welfare and guidance of the
state to which he shall be delegated.
IL
court of cardinal archbishops shall
elect from among. themselves his sue
cessor, and that bishops shall be ap-
pointed to their respective dioceses and
shall serve under and by direction Of
the said court of cardinal archbishops.
Priests shall be appointed or elected
to the priesthood and shall receive
holy ordination by the laying on of
hands by the bishop Of said diocese,
and that deacons shall be ordained by
request Of the parish priest, who may
be properly recommended to their
bishop.
The primate of the church shall be
empowered to secure the kind Offices
from those of the holy order Of bish-
ops who shall have received apostolic
succession from st. Peter, to the end
that the church Of America may final
ly become in verify and truly apostolic.
The church of America regrets the re-
cent action Of the Rt. Rev. Mahlon n.
Gilbert in his act of communicating
the Rt Rev. S. C. Ginner from the the
Episcopal church.
Meetings will hereafter be held in
the church rooms, chamber of COM
merce building, every Thursday even

choir and the Ladies' Aid society and
the church society and the young peo-
pies guild and for other church work.

they grew quite merry when all of
the racers got mixed and spilled them
selves all over the place. Aside from
that, there was no particular source
Of amusement.
The city was decorated Friday night.
There were three arches on Nicollet
avenue, and the pictures of Mckinley,
Hobson and other heroes were placed
conspicuously on them. On each of
the arches a boy kept red fire torches
going, and the city was brilliantly IL
Illuminated from the tower Of the ex-
