Owns Land in Dickinson.

The Christian Herald has a full
page picture and write.up Of DR.. John
Hall, late pastor Of the Fifth avenue
Presbyterian church, New York. DR..
Hall owns large amount of land in
South Dickinson and Is a brother OF
S. P. Hall, a Wheatland farmer for
many years. He once preached in
this city.
DR.. Hall is an Irishman by birth,
though he is Scotch by descent. He
was born in Armagh in 1929. He was
only thirteen years old when he pass
ed his entrance examination at the
old college Of Belfast, and, be was on
ly twenty, when after brilliant aca-
demic career, he was licensed to
preach. In 1867, the Presbyterian
Assembly Of Ireland decided to send
a delegate to the Assembly OF the
United States, and DR.. John Hall was
selected to carry the greetings to his
brethren on this side the Atlantic. He
went to Cincinnati, where the Old
School Assembly that year held its
meetings, and there his voice was
raised in an earnest and eloquent
plea for unity and brotherly spirit
that makes for peace. He made a
similar appeal to the New School AS
sembly which was at Rochester, N. Y.
During his visit, he accepted an invi.
tation to preach at the Fifth Avenue
church which then stood on Nine.
teenth street and was without a pas.
tor. owing to the retirement Of DR..
Nathan L. Rice. So impressed was
the church by the vigor and eloquence
Of the young preacher that a call was
sent to him by cable soon after his
return to Dublin. He accepted it,
and in November, 1867, began bis
long and successful pastorate.

Prophet Kropff SGT Fire to the Stack
Of Straw Himself.

Z Prophet A.. Kropff was in town to-
day and was indignant that the
papers had reported that lightning

it himself, lighting the stacks-straw
stacks-with matches. He insists
that the Lord.is still with him and

his stacks by lightning. He says

Bible passage that showed theologians
to be in error. He says that the fact
that he had lot Of money in Kirby's

OUR OWN GEORGE HANNA.
He Will Support PETER and Fight
Leedy.

|
Senator George W. Hanna, Of this
district, who was one of the leading
members on the Populist side Of the
last state senate, has according to the
Mail and Breeze, written to Chair.
man Williams of the Prohibition state
central committee that be will sup.
port Senator PETER for governor and
asked that he be billed at an early
date for speech at Clay Center. The
announcement that Hanna has bolted
the Populist ticket has created con.
sternation at the state house. Leedy
has sent special representative to
see Hanna and II possible induce him
to reconsider the matter. 1t is ad-
mitted among the Populist leaders
that Hanna is a strong man in Clay
county, and it is said that has a fol-
towing Of several hundred Populists
who will go with him into the PETER
camp. The efforts Of the administra-
tion to bring Hanna back into the
fold will be unavailing. He states
publicly that he has no further use
for the Leedy administration. He
thinks 1t has been miserable failure
and says that the old time Populists
in oil parts OF Kansas will not sup
port 1t. Wonder how the Dickinson
Populists like Georges action.

good application to any comparatively
slight burn or scald, then, if used
when such an accident occurs, they

The way to use it is TO sprinkle the
burn as well as the cloth to be APP

the injured part with the cloth aud
keeping it well soaked with cold wa

plication, as the water washes the

rates on the island Of Tortuga gave him

was much like that of other buccaneers

ably cruel to his Spanish prisoners.

pirates Of the world were United IN the
