Times Herald from. Des Moines, Ia,
says: Professor o. T. Morgan, the al
legged hereto who was tried before the
trustees of Drake university last April
and transferred from the theological
department to the chair of Hebrew and
Greek languages, has been removed
from the faculty and institution alto
gether by the trustees.
General Francis M. Drake, former
governor of Iowa and founder of the
university, presided at the meeting and
seemingly strongly favored the removal
of Morgan, who has denied the inspira-
ton of the Bible. He acknowledged
that the Bible was tho history of an in
spired or noble people, but denied its
divine authority as book.

PROCESSION OF FUNERALS.
Tornado Laid to Rest.


Tornado Laid to Rest.
i New RICHMOND, Wis, June 15.,-
Thirty-two victims of the recent tor
nado were buried during the day in the
two little cemeteries at opposite sides of
the town. Services for 20 were held in
the little Catholic church and from the
Congregational church 10 funerals had
been held by evening. There is still a
large number of unburied dead and but
for the fact that large number of cof-
fins failed to arrive it is likely the mum.
Der of funerals would have been close
to so. The number Of known dead was
increased by one, Henry Larsen, boy
about IA years of age, and two of the
injured died. Contrary to general ex-
pectation there were no bodies found
during the day in the basement of Will
iams' dry goods store. 1t was predicted
when the work of clearing out the de-
bris was begun that at least 20 bodies
we're still in the cellar of Williams
store, but at nightfall large portion of
the place had been gone over and moth
ing was found to indicate that any
more dead were in the ruins. Ten bod
les still remain unidentified, five of
them lying in the Catholic church,
three in the Congregational church and
two in the schoolhouse.

The work Of clearing up the town has

ner and decided progress was made.
The numerous dead horses that were
lying around were all buried early in
the day. All the fires which had been
smouldering for 36 hours were extin-
guished and a number of cellars in
which dead bodies were supposed to be
were cleared up. The militia kept
strict guard around the edges Of the
devastated district, and no one who
could not show excellent cause for ad-

EAll the funds derived from this source
Eof revenue, nearly $3.50, was turned over

h Plan for Rebuilding tho Town.
The relief committee has received
tenders Of money from various sources
Eamounting to about $1,000. Enough
additional money is in sight, it is said,
/ TO supply all immediate demands for
cash. A building and loan association
eplan has been talked of for the rebuild
ling Of the town. The plan has not pro-
Egressed in any degree as yet, but it is
lsaid that outside capital has expressed
Eaese]f as being willing to advance the
funds necessary for rebuilding the town
an better shape than before the disaster.
No names of those willing to advance
the money could be learned and it will
Rprobably be some days before the first
definite move in this direction is made.
"A number of tents were put up during
Rthe day for the injured and more will
Sbe erected. 1t is proposed to move as
Smany as possible of the injured into

sited in capacity. All Of the injured are
doing well and no more immediate
sdeaths are looked for.

DENVER, June 15.-The 5000 em.
ployes of the Trust smelters in Denver,
Pueblo and Leadville, walked out at
noon. Within 49 hours, it is predicted,
most Of the mines in Leadville, Aspen,
Creede, Ouray and the other mining
camps of the state, with the exception
of Cripple Creek, will be closed, throw
ing thousands of miners out of employ
ment. Che low grade metali ferrous
mines of San Juan county already have
been forced to cease operation by the
strike at the Durango smelter. All
shipments Of ore and fuel to the smelt-
ers have been ordered stopped. AS a
result many coal mines are preparing to
reduce their production and some will
close. Almost every industry in the
state will be affected.
The strike is due to the refusal Of the
American Smelling and Refining COM
pany to grant an 8-hour day without
reduction of wages.

THE BADGE FUND.

Budd Reeve is press agent for |
the movement in North Dakota to-
raise funds to bring the soldiers
home, and here is his latest: If|
North Dakota has one weakness
greater than another, it is excess
sive modesty. She sent double
her quota of men to the war. and
there has been no quarreling
among her officers, no jealousy, no
writing home about hardships or
abuse, but every soldier has stood
up like man, served his country
and is now near American soil to
receive an honorable discharge and
be received by loving friends.
This should be made an occasion
of great rejoicing by every one,
and will be. It is something diff
ferent from anything that ever
happened before in history. Never
before in the history of creation
has q victorious army returned
from the opposite side of the
Pacific ocean; this is new, and all
in the United States. And our
boys are Gin it." Asking 81 to
give them u free ride home is not
begging. 1t is not asking charity
for one unable to pay his railroad
fare. It is al expression of great
JOY; it is love for our country; ii
is way taken to show good will
it is right; it is better than buying
gunpowder after they get here
It is an expression of thanks that
we owe to God for their safe re.
turn; 81 is little enough to show
this. The pride and patriotism
that cannot rise up to this point
should go and join Aguinaldo's
army. The nation and the people
that are to set the pace for the
twentieth century, that are te
furnish light for humanity in time
to come, can certainly transport
their soldiers home free after
they reach our own shores. There
is no question about it with the
troops of North Dakota; but please
drop your little dollar in the ha
and do not stand to think about it
The time is short and they are al
most here You may not approv'
of the war, or Mckinley, but do i
for the sake of manhood and ma
tionhood; do it for the sake Of you
own feelings and prosperity If yo1
> hate the look of soldier. Thi
, government has done enough t.
j have you put up 81 but of pur
, love for it, and for no other pur
pose.

Il COUNTY, FAIR.
pOSo.

The conditions promise to be
such in Cavalier county this fall
that a fair for the exhibition of
farm products and stock can be
held and made success both in
regard to exhibits and financial
matters. We have an incorpor-
ated association, known as the
Langdon Driving & Agricultural
Association, which has suitable
fair grounds and race track en-
closed, and the directors certainly
would view the holding of county
fair therein with favor while the
business men cannot afford to do
otherwise than do something sub
stantial towards the movement.
Let's have fair, not later than
Oct. lst. There is no question as
to it's success, as the out of town
farmers have long been awaiting
the agitation Of the holding of
something along this line that
would tend to stimulate the in
terest of the stock and products of
their farms. To further the pro-
ject 1t is in keeping to remind our
readers that the Legislature of
1897 enacted a law which auth
orized the board of county COM
missioners to levy tax, not to ex-
coed one-ffth of one mill on all
taxable property in the county to
pay the expenses of and premiums
awarded by county fairs. There
is, however, provision in the act
which specifies that the ASSOCIATION
must have corporate existence
and have held ut least three sue
cessive annual fairs Immediately
preceding the application for a
grant. There has never been a
harvest season in Cavalier county
when q fall fair could he held with
such chances Of success. Let
everybody put their shoulder to
the wheel and give the movement
a boost. Hold fair this fall and
We need only hold two more and
the requirements of the law will

ard it would lose standing with
