WILL PRODUCE SCANDAL.
Letters to Pastor and Church Mem
bers Causes Sensation.

JAMESTOWN, N. D., Aug. 13.-A SEN
sational investigation which promises to
stir up lots of strife and scandal has
been In progress the past few DAYS The
investigation is being conducted by In
spector Lance, Of the postoffice depart
ment. Numerous witnesses have been ex-
amined and it is understood that suffl-
Client evidence has been found to cause
the arrest of a number Of prominent peo-
pie on a charge of writing letters unfit
for transmission through the mail
The trouble originated in the Methodist
church. The letters have been addressed
to members of that denomination from
the pastor, Rev. M. c. Miller down to
the least prominent member of the flock
The pastor, 1t is stated, has received let
tiers by the dozen. All sorts of charges
We're made The principal faults OF the
recipients We're reeited and they were
also advised to mend their ways The
language in which the letters were couch
ed was vile and created much indigna-
ton
Rev Mr.. Miller is one of the most pos
ular men In the city. He has improved
the property greatly and brought tho
church to the front. Some are of opinion
that the writer's Of the letters were SIM
ply Jealous of the rapid progress being
made by the pastor and congregation
and sought by anonymous letters to bring
about disruption.
The nature of the letters are such that
It will undoubtedly go hard with the Of
tenders should a case be made against
them. The matter is being vigorously
arrest of a number of prominent residents
is said to be only a matter of time-it
being alleged that there is plenty of evil
dence.

FLAMES SPREAD QUICKLY
FIRE IN EARLY's LIVERY STABLE
AT WINNIPEG ENDANGERED
MUCH PROPERTY
LIVE STOCK WAS REMOVED
Half-Empty Bottle Found In Some
Hay Indicated That Fire Was
Started by
Tramp.

WINNIPEG, Man, Aug. 13.-A fire of
very threatening character broke out in
Early's livery stable Saturday night,
shortly after II o'clock. Fortunately 1t
was discovered before it had made much
Roadway, and thirty horses and other live
stock on the premises were removed. The
building, being of wood, with metal cas-
ing, the aflmes spread quickly, until not
only was the whole Of the upper portion
enveloped, but the big adjoining frame
building on the north side, occupied by
w. G. Douglas, flour and feed merchant,
also caught fire. The flames soon extend
ed until the whole of the upper portion
Of this building was all but one mass of
flames. The tailor shop of Deacon &
Ross, located on the southeast corner of
Princess and James streets, and a portion
OF the building, was also seriously threat
ened, but the proprietors were successful
in getting practically all the goods re-
covered before the flames reached them
The upper portions of the buildings were
thoroughly Quilted before the fire brigade
got the flames under control.
Douglas stock, consisting of -four and
feed and four tons of nay, the whole val
ued at between $1,000 and $1,000, will be
the greatest loss, everything being de-
stroyed by either fire or water. He car
ried about 30 per cent insurance The
building occupied by Douglas was the
property of Nicholas VawIf and it will
cost $4,000 or more to repair it.
Early's loss will be in the neighborhood
Of $4,000, including the damage to the
building. He did not carry any insurance.
A half empty bottle of whisky found
among some hay in Early's building, In
dicated that the fire had been started by
a tramp.

AGUINALDo IS WARY.
Refused to Take Advantage of tho
Amnesty Proclamation.

ASSAuseu 10 AaAAe Advantage OF tho
Amnesty Proclamation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Copies OF Ma
Mia papers received at the war depart
ment contain letter purporting to be
from a personal friend of Aguinaldo.
which states that the Filipino chief does
not take advantage Of the amnesty proc
iamation because, some time ago, he gave
orders to his followers to break up into
gorilla bands. The amnesty order ex-
cepts those who violated the laws of war
rare, and the letter states that Aguinaldo
fears that he would be in the excepted
class should he undertake to surrender
under the amnesty proclamation.
The letter Is dated at Biach-No-Bato,
which Is said to be the present provi-
sional headquarters of Aguinaldo. It
states, however. that Aguinaldo never
stays more than one night In a place
and only few hours in any one location
he allows no one to come near him ex-
cept his most intimate personal friends.
dispatch In one Of the papers, dated at
San Pedro Macati, states that Gen. Pic
Gel Piler, who recently surrendered. says
he wishes to become good American cit
tzen, and intends to accept the American
terms offered to his people. He said he
would like nothing better than to raise a
regiment Of native Filipinos to serve In
China

THEY ONLY WANTED WORK
LARGE PARTY OFF LABORERS WAIT
ON GOV. HUNT

SAN JUAN, P. r., Aug. 13.-More than
hundred laborers, with their wives and
children, reached this city this morning,
after two days of weary marching with
cut food from San Lorenzo distance of
twenty-seven miles. The proc ession, made
up of all shades and conditions, led
by colored woman with an American
nag, and carrying banners on which were
inscribed the words "Give us work, -
marched quietly through the city to the
executive manson, where a halt was
made.
The spokesman called upon Civil Gov
ernor Hunt and explained that the object
of the visit was to ask the government
to open road between Caguas and San
Lorenzo thus enabling the laboring class
es of the district to get livelihood He
pointed out that at present there was no
work Of any kind In that district, and that
the people who We're wholly dependent
upon their daily earnings were without
bread, and were suffering.
Mr.. Hunt replied sympathetically, and
promised that the government would do
all IN its power to relieve the situation
The delegation Immediately retired well
pleased with the interview, and the pro-
cession left the city an hour after it had
entered and began the return Journey
Orders were promptly issued for work
to be begun on the road tomorrow, and
for the employment of as many persons
as possible who might apply from tho
district. The spokesman of the delega-
ton had said that there was no expecta-
ton of gratuitous government assistance,
but merely desire for work. Official In
formation shows that the district in uues-
ton is very badly off, and that no work
of any kind had been in progress for
some time. This is partly due to the old
system Of government relief supplies,
which had a tendency to pauperize the
recipient, and to lead many to believe thac
the government would indefinitely sup
port the poor in idleness.

CONCERT WAS DELIGHTFUL.
st. Paul Girls Entertain Highly n
Large Audience.


Three talented st. Paul people, assist
ed by an imported artist, gave an en-
| 1oyable midsummer concert last evening
| at the Peoples church before an audi
| ence, which, II not very large, was de-
/ cidedly appreciative. The concert served
to Introduce to st. Paul public three ca
paole young women who have spent the
past winter studying In the East-the
| Misses Sylvia and Lucille Egan, vocal
lists. and Miss Viva Elizabeth Conver.
pianiste. They were assisted by M YER
non Styles, tenor. The Misses Egan are
students rather than artists, but the i'm
maturity which a lack of experience
makes somewhat noticeable In their work
is more than compensated for by the ear
nestness and sincere effort with which
that work Is performed. Both sisters
have an unusually attractive stage pres-
ence, making their appearance before an
audience a distinct delight Miss syl-
via has mezzo-soprano voice of not ex-
traordinary range. but possessing rare
sweetness of tone and sympathy that
| places 1t considerably above the average
Her numbers last evening, besides the en-
cores, We're: "Madrigal," Victor Harris
and "The Rosary" Ethelbert Nevin.
Miss Lucille Egan has very promising
| contralto voice of a pronounced dramatic
type. She sang last evening, Love Is a
Bubble" Allitsen, and "Marquita." Mar
20. Both the young women were reward
ed with big lunches of roses.
Miss Conver plays with irreproachable
technique and much sympathy. Her num-
bers were: "Impromptu" Schubert;
Spinning Song" from 1.-THE Flying
Dutchman," Wagner and List; Prelude
Top. 20. No. 2D, Chopin. and waltz Cop. AZ,
No 81, Chopin.
Mr.. M. Vernon Styles Is indisputably
the possessor Of a finely cultivated tenor,
but he has discovered that he is pic
turesque, and he reveals this knowledge
by some unpleasant mannerisms Espe-
/ cially well received was Mr. Styles solo,
"A Song of Thanksgiving" Allitsen, sung
with organ accompaniment. Mr. Styles
| also sang II Dare to Love Thee" Tosti,
and he substituted in the last number for
the Misses Bgan, who were to have
| sung Chaminade's "Angelus."
