ny POPULAR SUBSCRIPTION.
No Other Mean. Available Ia save
the Devoted Missionary.

Boston. Oct. THE urgency OF the
ease of Miss Stone, the missionary
held for ransom 10y brigands In Bul.
gnrin. brought together the members
of the prudential committee Of the
American board for two hours ycstcr.
day. Later the committee issued u
statement based upon the views OF
President sam. II. Capcn, OF the board
aud the secretary, Rev. DR.. Judson
Smith, as the result Of their visit -
Washington Saturday.
Both gentlemen had interviews with
President Roosevelt and the officials
Of the state department. II was made
plain to them, they told the prudcu.
tinl committee, that the only way to
rescue Miss Stone and save her life
would he payment Of the ransom. The
committee was informed that the gov
eminent by reason of constitutional
restriction Is unable to pay the ran.
som.
The committee WAS also made
nwarc OF the fact that the American
board has no money with which to
save Miss Stone. The only practical
way, therefore. was shown to be u
popular subscription which already
has been started. The committee
heartily approved this. and began
sending kilograms To many parts OF
the country urging the subscriptions.
Thecommittcc says that In view ofthc
spirit with which the appeal Is received
there Is strong grounds for the hope
that the amount will lie obtained
speedily. In every possible way the
American board will cooperate both
by gift aud by solicitation.

MINNESOTA GETS BANNER.
Buttermakers Made n Mistake in
Awarding First Prize to Kansas.

Buttermakers Made n Mistake In
Awarding First Prize to Kansas.
st. Paul, Feb. %. - The remarkable
triumph Of Minnesota at the recent
national convention Of the creamery
buttermakers was unexpectedly COM
pleted yesterday by the Geographic
announcement that the silk banner
for the highest state average of butter
scores belongs not to Kansas, as
awarded, but to the Gopher state. An
error on the part of Secretary Sunden-
dorf of the buttermakers' association
gave the Kansas score as S9.44 and the
Minnesota score 1898, While the corr
rect score for Minnesota was S9.S6.
Thus, Minnesota, instead of being .05
per cent below Kansas, is really AZ
per cent above the smashing common
wealth. Fortunately the victorious
banner has not yet been delivered to
the Suntlower churners. Minnesota,
therefore. won the highest award at
the convention, three .out of four med
ais and the banner for the highest
average score. The success Of this
state is the more striking in view Of
the fact that no less than 262 exhibits
We're scored to obtain the Minnesota
average, While only twenty-nine ex
hibits We're sent in by Kansas.

Washington, March 3.-Senator- elect W.
A. Clark of Montana will not be permitted
to take his seat in the upper branch of
Tie fedora, government if the allegations
contained in 4 protest filed with Senator
w. A. Chandler of New Hampshire. and
which will be presented 10 the senate on
March 4, are proved. The protest has
been filed by H. Il. KNAPP of Helena, rep
lesenting the labor party out there, and
by interests prominently identified with
tho Standard Oil company.
1t is alleged that Mr.. Clark's personal
contribution in the recent state election
was between S25o.0O0 and 100000, where
as his sworn statement as to money con-
tributed for campaign purposes placed the
sum at only $4,000; that Senator Clark
throughout the entire state campaign
paid the personal and living expenses of
every member of the Democratic state
committee: that Mr.. Clark spent 100000
ir Silver Bow county. $4,000 in Cascade
county, $500 in Dawson county to elect
Senator Cullen and $4,000 in each of the
following counties: Granite, Jefferson,
Broadwater, Beaverhead and Madison.
1t is reported on good authority that
Charles Clark, the son of Senator-elect
Clark, is one of those who are opposed
to his fathers admission to the senate,
father and son having fallen out. The
explanation offered for this is that
Charles Clark, who is a very wealthy
mine owner in his own right. has been
won over to the cause of the Standard
Oil or Amalgamted Copper interests,
which may make him president of the
Analganated Copper company.

Clinton! 10 va. March 3. - The ease
here which has just been tried in the
district court, entitled Joseph Burke vs.
Charles Beeby, Martin Dolan and Michael
Hines and the Modern Woodmen of
America, developed some features of in
terest to members of fraternal societies.
1t was shown in the testimony that the
three men named above as defendants
handled the plaintiff roughly, causing
serious injury during an initiation into
the Woodmen lodge at Charlotte. In his
instruction to the jury the court held
that those who took part in the initiation
acted as agents of the company.
The plaintiff stated that the defendants
who injured him did so while following
the ritual, and as the Modern Woodmen
society would not introduce the ritual in
evidence there was nothing to rebut this
claim, consequently the instructions of the
court were that the jury should con-
slider Beeby, Dolan and Hines as agents
of the society. Acting on these instruc-
tons the jury returned verdict for the
plaintiff fixing the amount of damages
at $1,000 against the Woodmen society,
but nothing against the individuals
