action will be taken by the city is not

CONVENTION CLOSES.
Congrega tionalists Want Sale of
LIQUOR in Army Canteens Stopped.

West Superior, Wis, Sept. 15.-[Spe

of Congregationalists closed here last
evening. The convention has taken a
new step in Christian education which is
heartily accepted by the Congregational
lists of the state A committee has been
appointed composed of Prof. Burr of

ator J. NJ. Whitehead of GAINESVILLE, j..
r. Smith of West Superior and Russell
Cheney OF Endeavor, which shall coop
crate with the Western secretary of the
Educat ton society in carrying out a plan
of benevolence for educational work.
The canteen question came up when the
registrar was instructed by a unanimous
vote to send, in behalf Of the conyen-
ton, to the President of the United
States a request to issue an order for
bidding all sale of alcoholic drinks in the
army canteen and all military posts, in
conformity with a law of Congress. The
convention made an important departure
in it's missionary operations. For sixty
years Congregational churches have been
receiving aid from the National Home

has assumed self-support with the pur
pose of raising $4,000 for the preaching

New York, Sept 14.-President Ros-

yesterday: Railroad affairs are better

and nearly all Of them are spending a
good deal on their property. That is as
it should be. | see nothing but good
times ahead just now The crops in the
country through which our road runs are
very fair, though not as good as last
year-which, however, was an exception
ally good year. For the last three or
four weeks we have been suffering from
a shortage of cars and cannot handle all
our business. The only bad feature of
the railroad situation that [ can see is
the tendency of some roads to make use
less extensions. especially in the state Of
Iowa."

feeling of the st. Paul directors are con-
WINGED that no extra dividend on the

Of No shaft of the Arcadian about

numbered eighty-four men. Exactly one
third of the force has been discharged
there being no work for them, and of
the present force of ffty-six men one
half will be let out this month"; reducing
the timber force permanently by just
two thirds. No heavy stull timber is re-
quired by the new plan and the saving
on timber alone at the Arcadian is esti-

success of Capt. Wilcox's ingenious sys-
