Rev Prof. John F. Genung, Phi. D., a
former fellow laborer of Rev. DR.. John
E. futile in the Amherst college fac
ulty, occupied the pulpit in Union
church last evening. His subject was.
Faiths use of hardships," taking for
his text, And not only so, but we glory
in tribulations also; knowing that tri-
bulation worketh patience, and patience
experience, and experience, hope; and
hope rnaketh not ashamed; because the
love of God is shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Ghost, which is given unto
US" He. said
The word tribulation seems to have
fallen out of our ordinary working vo-
cabulary, and to have become merely
one of those plous Bible words which
are reserved for prayers and sermons
Let us not, however, draw from this
fact a too hasty conclusion. The thing,
tribulation, the deep spiritual expert"
ence of stern, battling, buffeting dis
cipline, still exists, as vital and univer-
sal as ever If men say less about it,
and seem to have even buried the word
away from speech, it is because the ex-
perience itself, enshrined in the indi-
Vidual heart, as in a temple, is too
scared, too deeply personal, to be ex-
hibited before the world
When, as in the early days of tribu-
lation, too, the form of loss and perse-
cution for the faith; when, as in our
Puritan ancestors time it was an af-
fair of religious conviction and doctrine.
it could be an open subject, playing its
part in mems common discussions: but
when. as now, it rises from the home
and from the business, and from the
secret tempers and difficulties of the
heart, the only way is to suffer and be
silent.
Meanwhile, just as tribulation itself
being more inner and central, is less
valuable; SO its effects, as they are less
obtrusive, are correspondingly more
real and radical. They show them
selves in life rather than in speech.
When we see face taking on. as bv
a kind of growth, slow lines of care or
the chastened beauty of patient acoui-
escent endurance, we know that some
deep moulding influence is at work.

ing character, as IL by spiritual sculp
ture. We do not need, when such signs
appear, to be told of tribulation: to
speak of it would be like profaning a
temple. But we see it's work. and we
know whether the nameless experience
within has hallowed the life or har-
dened 1t. 1t is thus that lives reveal
themselves beyond the power of will to

Young Feople at Ao ans square Bap-
fist Church Entertain.
The Sunday school concert at the
Adams Square Baptist church last eve
ming was in the line Of the pastors
sermon of the morning. In the morn
ing Rev. John S. Holmes preached an
interesting discourse on "The Bible."
He spoke of the wonderful way that
the book of books had held its own
through all centuries and that no crit
icism and no ridicule could overthrow
the scriptures, or gainsay their infiu-
ence. The Bible was first designed for
the Jews, but with the coming OF
Jesus Christ, the book became world
wide.
The evening concert took up this
great theme, and the hymns and reci-
tations were in touch with the subject
of the morning. A number of young
folks took part and there was singing
by the choir and congregation. The
program included the following selec-
tions Recitation, "Oh, let me ring the
BELL" by Agnes Marie Blaine; open
the door" by Nellie Dobey; singing by
the infant class; MY pennies" by
Ruth Cutter. Following this was a
collection of the mite boxes that have
for so many months been boarding the
pennies for the little folks who are
eager to help in the work of sending
Bibles to foreign lands, and among
those in this country who have never
read the book; recitation by eight lit

Washington, D. c.. Nov. 11.-George
Rice of Marietta, who has been a most
active assistant of Attorney General
Monnett of Ohio in the state attacks
on the Standard Oil Company, was not
allowed today to present bis full testi-
mony to the industrial commission. Mr..
Rice appeared with a printed pamph-
let of n pages, but most of the mat
ter the commission shut out as irrele-
want, personal and impertinent Be-
low will be found some of the most
interesting portions of the censored
testimony:

roads and trusts are jointly owned
and used by railway and trust Of
f1cials to absolutely control the in
ternal commerce of this great ma
ton, through compulsory railway
tariff exactions, underhand secret
tribute and demands, that must alb
solutely be compiled with if ship

Il shall be able to fully prove to
this commission living and prom

in the Standard Oil Trust, which

and power by dishonest and crimi-
nal methods, in the unlawful use Of
our public highways and through
this means has become the largest
owners in railway bonds and stocks,

dents and directors in one-fifth of

1.-THE magnitude of the Standard Oil
monopoly, as contaminated and CEN

seen from their last enforced public

1t is to be feared that the voters are
being misled into the belief that the
common council is of small Importance.
Yet it is often the rule, or has been
in recent years, that a position in this
board leads in turn to a seat in the
board of aldermen. Are the men who
are thus far announced of aldermanic
calibre? Would they be considered at
all for the higher branch? If not, then
they are not the best men for place
in the lower body. We should have

CHARLES A. PILLSBURY.
The Minneapolis Miller Dies Very Unex.
pectedly--Death Thought to Have
Been Caused by OverworI<.

Minneapolis, Sept. 1s.-Charles A..
Pillsbury, the well known miller and
business man, died at his home in this
city at S o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Charles Alfred Pillsbury was born in
Warner, N. H., Oct. 3, 1912. Until 10
years of age he attended school there,
his father at that time removing to
Concord, where the son attended school
and graduated at the age 16. A year
later he entered Dartmouth college,
and after graduating went to Mon
treal, where for six years he was en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits, most of
the time as clerk. Sept. IL, 1866, he
married Miss Mary A. Stinson, of
Gofstown, n. H., who was daughter
of Captain Charles Stinson.
Three years later he came to Mime
and soon afterwards bought an inter-
est in flour mill at st. Anthony Falls.
At that time there were four or five
mills in Minneapolis, but they were of
the old fashioned sort. He applied
himself diligently to learn the details
of the business; always alert to adopt
new methods and resolved to make the
best possible product. He saw the
modest venture develop into the larg-
milling industry in the world having
a capacity of $4,000 barrels daily.
Mr.. Pillsbury remained in the con-
duct of his vast milling business until
1890, when the mills and good will
were sold to an English syndicate,
which acquired, besides, the Washburn
milling property and the water power
of the Falls of st. Anthony.

that their presence in the bed of the en-
tryman argued an Abandonment of the
homestead, and the local land office APP
parently took the same view of the mat
ter. But when the decision was APP
pealed from it was set up that the pres
ence of the mice was an argument in
favor of the homesteader.
Fred O. Grutt was the entryman,
having taken up homestead near
Davenport. Wash, three years ago.
Last August John O'Neil instituted
contest to the homestead entry, alleg-
ing that Grutt had abandoned his claim,
did not keep up continuous residence
thereon and that the only inhabitants
of the shanty on the ranch were fam
lily of mice. After hearing the case the
registrar and receiver decided that
Grutt's entry should be Cancelled. From
this decision Grutt had GO days in
which to file an appeal to the COM
missioner at Washington.
The appeal was filed by Leo Walton,
attorney for Grutt. In this appeal the
mice family was referred 10 as fol-
lows: "If there were any mice in this
entryman's bed during the early part
of September, 1898, it plainly shows
that the entryman did have bed on
the land at the time.
''The house mouse is known to be a
domestic animal that multiplies in
few weeks, and which has been known
to have slept and given birth to its
young not only in the same room, but
actually in the undertaking of the
same bed with very respectable and
otherwise law-abiding citizens, who
were seldom absent from their homes
ut night. Indeed, the house that is
free from this little pest is the excep-
ton, and, as rule, would speak elo-
quently for the service rendered by

In winter, windows are opened far
too infrequently for proper change Of

Fresh air will heat much more quickly
than the lifeless air of q room impreg-
mated with the noXious civilizations of

others breath at close range. 1t is just
as deadly as longer distance. This is
not matter of ultra fastidiousness. 1t
is harmful to rebreathe ones own ex-
halations.
At night many fear to open windows
adequately for fear of might air.
What air can there be at night but night
air? There are few occasions when out
side air at night, with proper precau-
tions as to direct draughts, is not vast
ly superior to that within.
Of late successful warfare has been
waged upon high hats in large places of
assembly. Ihe disgusting nuisance OF
public expectoration has been met and
fairly vanquished. Why not now enter
d crusade against foul air?
How refined and clearly people can
sit complacently inhaling the exhala-
tions and effluvia of mass of surround
ing bodies, many in diseased condition,
passes comprehension. Plying fan
will not purify the air. Temperature
has absolutely nothing at all to do with
the quality of the atmosphere. If ush-
ers are frequently requested to open a

ELECT AN FRESHMAN.
Thomas R. Roddy Chosen to Rule
the Winnebago Tribe.
Chioago Man Recones the Successors
Of Chief Black Hawk-1as Been
lnterested In the Nations
A9airs for Years.

Within two weeks Thomas Il. Roddy,
6o26 Ingleside avenue, Chicago, will be-
come the chief of the Winnebago Indi-
ans at Black River Falls, Wis. Koddy is
an American of Irish descent, but will.
assume the title of White Buffalo, and
become the ruler of the remnant of
what was once one of the greatest
tribes of red men in America. His
predecessor, Chief Black Hawk, full
blooded Winnebago, died recently, and
the councillors and medicine men at
once selected this Chicago Irishman to
succeed him.
Roddy has long been known to the
red men whom he will rule hereafter,
and since boy has enjoyed their con-
fidence and given them his advice in.
their struggles to retain portion of
the once vast domain over which Black
Hawks ancestors held sway. For years
he has been their agent, transacting for
them their business with the Great
White Father at Washington. Last
March he came to Chicago on still
more important mission.
1t has long been tradition among
=.
the members of the tribe that the site
OF Fort Dearborn and a considerable
tract of the adjacent land was theirs by
rightif not by possession. And it was to
see what could be done with this claim
that Roddy moved to Chicago. For sew
eral months he has been hard at work,
but what progress he has made is un-
known, for the new chieftain betook
himself to Detroit, travelling in Pull
man car, as befitted the dignity of a
ruler of men. His wife said to Chica-
go Tribune reporter that her husband
had accepted the position and in the
course of few weeks she and her four
children would go to Black River Falls
and take up their residence among
White Buffalo's followers.
Mr.. Roddy, she said, was born in
Peoria, ILL.,, and from his boyhood has
