A FAKE" SOLICITOR.

About two weeks ago a woman
giving her name as Mrs. Seeley ap-
peared in this city and solicited
money for an orphans home. She
received quite sum in quarters
and halves. From here she went
to Delhi where she picked up quite
a sum, representing that she was
soliciting for the Minnesota Or
phan S Home, for which the late
Rev. Jackson travelled for a long
time.
About the time she finished work
there she was detected as an impos-
tor and when she boarded the train
for western towns Delhi people de-
cided to apprise the charity giving
people of those towns that Mrs. See
lev was not what she represented
herself to be. The telephone was
used at Echo and other western
points. Mrs. Seeley got off the
train at Echo and collected about
So, when she was apprehended and
made to return the money she had
collected, and was. compelled to

MRS. ROUSE ON CHINA.

Miss Wilma Rouse gave an excel
lent lecture on China at the NJ. E.
church last Thursday evening. The
attendance was small on account of
the cold weather. Miss Rouse
spoke particularly of Chinese wor-
ship and customs, and compared
our July 4th celebration with that
of the Chinese New Year. The
words "firecracker' and 'onion"
are much alike in the Chinese
tongue, aud Miss Rouse stated that
By mistake she told the Chinese we
fired OF onions ia America and rode
cats, another word which sounds
like horse when the two are men
toned in Chinese. In China the
teachers have to suffer for the
mistakes of the pupils, if the errors
are of any Importance, and Miss
Rouse received good talking to
for her errors.
Miss Rouse stated that it was not
an uncommon thing to see little girl
babies floating down the river, they
having been thrown to their death
because the Chinese are of the opin-
ion that girl babies are not worth
caring for. and when Miss Rouse
told the Chinese women that they
have Saviour they seemed hap
pier. At the conclusion of the lee
ture Miss Rouse showed several
unique Chinese curios.

NM. KNOWLTON'S FAREWELL.
A Large Number of Friends Call
and Say Goodbye.

A farewell reception was ten
dered to Rev. w. II. Knowlton, rec
tor of the Episcopal Church of the
Holy Communion, at the rectory,
by the ladies of St. Veronica's s
Guild, last Thursday evening, from
8 to 1870 o'clock.
The reception was attended by
all of the congregation of the Epis-
copal church, as we'll as by a large
number of the members from other
churches, including the pastors, and
the large rooms of the rec >ory were
taxed to their utmost capacity by
the crowd.
The affair was strictly an inform
al gathering coming and going
of people who were anxious to say
goodbye to a pastor who had
worked for number of years in the
vineyards in and around Redwood
Falls. There was a general buzz of
conversation throughout the rectory
all the evening, interrupted only
when some conundrum catcher had
a new one to spring on the unsus-
pecting guests, and then followed
a general guessing.
The, ladies of the Guilds having
the function in charge served lig ht
refreshments during the evening in
the dining room. A table for twelve
was occupied seven times, and to
the occupants sandwiches, coffee
and cake were served.
The reception broke up at 1870,
with manv good wishes for the fu-
ture of Mr.. Knowlton, after which
the latter invited number of his
friends to the library where they
INDUCED in smoke social
Before Mr.. Knowlton left the
vestry made arrangements to pay
off all taxes, etc., on the church
property, and to place the indebted
ness of the church in single sum,
on which small payments can be
made at any time.

A mortgage deed from the Gulf &
Manitoba railroad company to H. A.
Baldwin as trustee, was filed with
the register of deeds last Saturday
morning. The mortgage is for
5000, and covers that strip of land
100 feet wide, except where the pro-
files show it to be only 50 or Is
feet, running from the Minneapolis

The deed also includes the grading,

ing, and all ties, rails, bridge tim
ber, piling, iron, cars and material
now or hereafter to be used.
The conditions of the mortgage

It is understood that the company
has just little less than 81, 500 in
outstanding accounts, and that its
assets are valued at $4,000 and
that in order to protect it's creditors
the above trust deed was issued.
and that all of the claims against
the company will soon be liquidat-
ed.
All this will be done pending the
reorganization, which now seems an
assured fact The Iowa Loan &
Trust Co. and a New York Trust
company have already been made
the trustees of the Gulf & Manitoba
company, and the bonds have been
engraved and are almost ready for
the market. AS soon as the sale Of
these bonds commence matters will
be arranged so that the work on the
entire line from Cover, Missouri,
north, will be pushed with all pos
'slble speed.

and they were firmly of the opinion
that the fair for this year should be
an attractive one, with features that
would draw out q large crowd. It
was decided to admit all school
pupils under Is years Of age, from
all over the county, and cards Of
admission will be sent out to the
teachers Of the different schools for
this purpose. As sequel to this
action the directors have decided to
offer prizes for certian articles or
productions within the reach of
these pupils. The prizes will come
from breeders, and other persons,
and will warrant the pupils in
entering the competitive arena.
There will be large number of
athletic exhibitions during the
three days of the fair, if present
intentions are carried out, as it is
proposed to have prizes of various
kinds for about everything in the
athletic line.
In the matter OF races it has been
decided that if the business men o1
Redwood Falls are willing to sub.
scribe such amounts as they should
for this purpose, the society will
have the races. There will not be-
however, more than two of the latter
each day, the directors contending
that three races prolong the day s
entertainment too long after SIX

q 1hCnERs' READlN6 CIRCLE.

09fpite the cold day some fifty
teachers met in the high school
roompn Saturday last, and talked
on Barns and Scott. Tam O'Shan-
ter, Lady Of the Lake, Marmion,
Mouhtxin Daisy and Ode to Field
mouse, received special attention.
Mr.. Jones read nearly all Of Tam
O'Shanter, Miss Patterson The Ode
to q Field Mouse, and Mr.. Gullette
read the Mountain Daisy. The
beauty of the poems received spec
ial criticism.

next regular meeting. Mr.. Hess
said that he would be here at our
next meeting, storm or no storm.
Mr.. Hess has made a special
study of this subject and he knows
full well the deep import of it in

The SOLO, "Daffodills by Mrs. A.

Miss Laura Brainerd's recitation
in Norwegian-English ''Ole Olson s
House Building was much en-
joyed.
The question box developed some
good discussion on personal habits,
appearance and work of the teacher
Can he really teach good hygiene
with uncleanly surroundings and
himself soiled or untidy? Untidy
pupils came in for share. The
unclean hand and face, the un-
combed hair were voted poor edu-
Gators. The untruthful teacher
caused some serious thought from
the thoughtful teachers. All were
convinced that after all it was the
great personality Of the teacher
who teackss truth, and who fear
lessly impresses her love Of truth
upon her pupils and who can make
her pupils ashamed and afraid to lie,
and afraid to tell anything but the
truth. The song service under Mr..
Jones leadership is getting to be
very interesting. Ii the members
will in the interim study the songs
which we're assigned for home study,
much real help will be apparent.

COL. WADDELL'S WITHDRAWAL
The Comments of the Raleigh Press on
His Card Announcing That He is no
Longer a Candidate for Senator.

The Raleigh News and Observer of
yesterday says:
The withdrawal of Hon. Alfred M.
Waddell, of New Hanover , from the
senatorial race, is announced.
Colonel Waddell is easily one Of
the first men the state has produced
in half a century. He is a scholar, a
historian, an author, an orator, a SOL
der, a statesman, a gentleman of the
highest talents and Of versatile attain
ments. In the national house of repre-
sentatives he won a place as a leader.
In the senate he would have represent
ed the state with ability and would
have taken rank with the first orators
in the highest legislative body in the
world.
1.-The people and the democratic par
ty owe much to Colonel Waddell. He
saved the state for the democracy in
his district in 1872 when he defeated
Dockery for congress-. In 1898 no man
did more in the revolution that re-
suited in the democratic victory"
The Raleigh Post of yesterday re-
marks:
THE evident trend of the senatorial
contest to a battle royal between Hon.
F. NJ. Simmons and General j. S.

dell to follow the example of Governor

SIMMONS AND DOWD
THEY WILL SPEAK IN WILMINGTON

viously Requested Z Come Here to
Speak, Named Thursday, November
LIST as the Date-That Was Also h
Date for Mr.. Dowd-They VIII Speak
at the Court House

The democratic executive committee
Of New Hanover county met last night
and transacted business in connection
with the campaign Among other
things taken up by the committee was
the appointment Of pollholders for h
primary election to be held November
9Th to choose a candidate for the
United States senate on the part OF the
democratic party of North Carolina
Some of the pollholders were selected
but the list was not completed. An
other meeting will be held in a day or
so to finish the list.
Mr.. E.. F. Johnson, chairman of the
committee. announced that the Hon F.
NJ. Simmons, Of Raleigh, the distin-
guished state chairman of the demo-
cratic party, and Hon. w. c. Dowd,
editor of the Charlotte News and DEM
ocratic elector for the Sixth district,
will speak in Wilmington next week
Mr.. Dowd. having failed on account
of other engagements, to fulfill his ap-
pointment to speak IN Wilmington last
| week, informed Chairman Johnson that
he would be sure to come to Whining
ton and speak on the night of Thurs
day, November 1st. State Chairman
Simmons also hit upon that date, SO
| arrangements will be made to have
them to speak together at h court
! house on the date named. 1t had been
intended to secure the opera house for
these two distinguished gentlemen but
as an opera company will be playing
here all of next week, the choice fell
| upon the court house.
Some time g the county committee
invited Nh. Simmons here to speak, but
| as he was a candidate for the nOmina-
ton for the senate, he declined out Of
/ courtesy to the Hon. Alfred NJ. Wad-
dell, whose baiIiwick he felt a delicacy
in entering. Now hat Col. Waddell
! has withdrawn from the race for the
senate, Mr.. Simmons notifies the COM
mfttee that he accepts the invitation to
| speak in Wilmington.
On the night that Messrs. Simmons
and Dowd are to speak, it is proposed
to have the biggest democratic rally
seen in Wilmington in years. All the
Bryan and Stevenson clubs will turn
out, and it is doubted whether the court
house will hold the people or not. If
not, arrangements will be made for al,
overflow meeting.
