Self Denial Services.

This week the local branch of the
Salvation Army is holding a series of
special self denial and prayer services
in which its members are taking an ac-
tive part. Though the weather has
been unfavorable the attendance at the
evening meetings has been very en-
cOuraging.
1t only seems few days ago since
the Salvation ARMY was in the midst
of its great effort of feeding the poor
at Christmas-tid when that organiza-
tion earned the encomiums of the en-
tire country for its immense Winter
Relief work. Today another great un
dertaking by the Army is on the boards.
This time it Is the special annual
week of prayer and self denial.
Notice the practicality of this great
body of Christian people. One would
think that their every day life is self
denial, without the introduction of a
special week They house the fallen,
nurse the sick and are i'll general
way living out their religion. Now
they are holding II special week ser
vices in which prayer will be contin-
uously offered for the salvation of the
lost, and TO back up their prayers by
works, will stint themselves of part
of their daily fare, and absolutely cut
off all creature comforts handing over
the money thus saved to the general
work of the Army.
Our citizens should profit by this eX.
ample of work, and it is not too much
to ask those interested in religion,
work to contribute to the self denial
fund of the Salvation Army. The ser
vices end on Sunday evening, April l3.
When the Salvationists call at youl
| home or Office, remember the splendid
work OF relief they have been carrying
on, and assist with a substantial
donation.

The Shovel Works, this city, was the
scene Of thrilling accident Saturday
forenoon which was rendered remark
able by the narrow escape from death
Of several men imperiled. a section
Of the floor over the finishing depart
ment used for storage purposes gave
way under the weight and fell to the
ground, a distance Of eighteen feet,
carrying with it some seven thousand
shovel handles and three employees who
along with another workman employ
ed below were buried under the mass.
1t happened about 10 30 O'Clock. An
OminouS crack i'll one of the timbers
overhead had driven the most of the
employees from that quarter of the
finishing department Frank Keller
was working at the drill NJ. w. Hart
man, who had been eating lunch, had
just left the spot, when with a large
crash which startled all the upper end
Of town the heavily laden floor gave
way. The next instant the north
eastern corner of the works was filled
with promiscuous mass of shovel
handles, splintered joists and flooring
under which four human beings lay
imprisoned Under the circumstances
there was little room for hope that any
had escaped fatal or very serious in
jury.
A telephone call was sent out for
physicians and soon Doctors Kimerer,
Paules and Wintersteen We're hurry
ing toward the Shovel Works. Mean
while the employees were tugging des-
perately away at the mass of wreckage
The imprisoned men We're soon heard
from and were able to make their
whereabouts known. In ten minutes
time every man was released.
The JOY of all concerned can be i'm
agined when it was discovered that not
withstanding their peril none Of the
men were seriously hurt. Mr.. Keller,
the driller, Jared worst. He attempted
to escape when the crash came, but was
struck by falling plank, which knock
ed him down, after which the shovel
handles rained down upon him. That
he was not killed is simply miraculous.
His worst injury consisted of a bruis-
ed hip. d. 7. Williams, Arthur Brent
and Roy Henrie, who came down with
the floor, escaped with trif1ing injury.
Brent continued at work but Williams
and Henrie who sustained, each a slight
cut on the head, decided to go home.

Castle Grove to be Improved.

The many reports current with re-
ference to the closing Of John K. Ben
nett's magnificent mansion, Castle
Grove, prove to be without foundation
The appearance Of storm boards on the
windows has without doubt, been the
cause of this impression.
The house will be kept open and Will
be in charge of two servants. There
will be but four horses in the mansion
stables and aside from these changes,
everything will be kept running as
usual. The farms will be kept up and
the many hands retained.
As soon as the weather permits the
exterior of the house will be repaint'
ed. Among other improvements to be
made later on is the erection of veg
etable green house.
