WORK HERE CLOSED
Rev. DR.. J. B. Helwig's Relation as
Pastor Of First Presbyterian
Church Dissolved.
His Farewell Sermon to Be Preached
Next sunday-1nteresting
Ministers Meeting.

Rev. DR.. J. 3. Helwig visited Minneapo-
Ii when it was a hamlet of 500 persons,
known as st. Anthony, and came here five
years ago to become pastor Of the First
Presbyterian church. To-day at a meet
ing Of the Presbyterians of Minneapolis at
Westminster church, his relation pas
tor Of the First church was declared dis
solved.
The retiring pastor. a man of 70 years,
OF powerful and striking personality, could
not wholly conceal his emotion at the gen.
eral spontaneous ovation received by him
from the large body Of clergymen pres
ent. The ceremony of dissolution itself
was most simple. DR.. Kiehle was
moderator. The motion declaring the pull
pit vacant after next Sunday, was made
by DR.. Helwig himself, who will preach
his final sermon on that day. -
The ministers meeting, which followed,
was largely devoted to "reminiscences, and
DR.. Helwig was called upon to speak. He
began by contrasting the Minneapolis of
to-day with the little village Of half a
century ago, when Governor Ramsey oc-
cupied the gubernatorial chair and re-
cefved delegates, chiefly composed Of In
dams, no less than sixty warriors and
their chief having once called in a body
Asked fora more personal history, the
clergyman thrust out his right arm, say
ing, 1T Is a little larger than my left;
my years as blacksmith left it So" Then
ne told now the idea. of becoming "a
clergyman was: suggested to him. one day
when he was at work in the blacksmith
ship. His pastor and college president
came in and the latter said the black
smith ought to enter the ministry. DR..
Helwig was for six years a student at
Springfield. where he earned his board
by serving as waiter in the college din
ing-room. That was in 1855. In 1874 he
was made president of the institution In
which he had obtained his education. He
served for eight years. Later on he ran
Tor governor in Ohio on the prohibition
tlcket' but after six weeks of agitation
his opponent was declared elected.
DR.. Helwig paid a tribute to the work
OF the young men in the ministry. He
also suggested that this work could he
bettered by the establishment of longer
paStOrates.

tions on the sixth anniversary of his
marriage.

the Arnes' administration.
Cohen was summoned into court by
Judge Elliott who said that he had heard
the defendant had told his friends that
his plea had been entered with the under
standing that he should be punished only
by a fine and not by imprisonment
The court stated that he knew Of nc
such agreement and added that if the
plea Of guilty had been entered with that
idea, he would permit it's withdrawal.

entered and Cohen left the court room &C.
companied by his attorney.

GENERAL BOOTHS SERMONS
Appeals to His Hearers to Give Their
Hearts to God. .'

General William Booth yesterday ad-
dressed three Immense audiences at the
Swedish Tabernacle. Consul Booth
iucker, his daughter, was present at each
meeting.
At the afternoon meeting General Booth
reminded the audience that his mission in
Minneapolis was not to ask his hearers to
join the Salvation Army, but to give their
hearts to God. He explained that he had
taken his text from the gospel of st. John
because his writings were so simple so
easily understood, and because they
taught the way TO salvation. John had
uellned SIN as being q transgression of the
Jaw or love, and that a man did not neces-
sarily have to commit a, high crime in
ofder TO De a sinner. All unrighteousness
was sin, and when one acts contrary to
the dictates OF conscience, that also was
SIN. wrong to any human being was in
the same category. All sin was of the
devil originated by the devil and inspired
by the devil. Any one who died with sin
ABODE with the devil, because all sin leads
to hell. ~
John had said that sin was universal
and he spoke the truth No man wa free
from 1t. Like sheep who had gone astray.
all mankind must be led back to the fold
by some kindly shepherd Jesus Christ
was the shepherd who had pointed the
way to salvation. - T.
The remainder Of General Booths SER
mon was a strong. earnest exhortation for
all Wlthlnathe sound of his voice to give
themselves unreservedly into Christ's
Keeping. Before "a man could be truly
saved, he must Gbelieve with his heart
and confess with dis aips."..'-'. -
After each address he appealed to the
penitent to come forward. confess their
sins and enlist in the army of salvation.
Many were converted. e. H..
General Booth will make his only APP
pearance in st. Paul at 8 O'Clock this. eve-
ming atthe Central Presbyterian church.

erty had been mortgaged by Charles w.
Johnson, Krestina Johnson's first husband.
''Too much Johnson appears to have
been the cause Of the dispute over the title.
Krestina Johnson was married to Charles
Johnson about twenty-five years ago In
Sweden. They lived together two years,
when they were separated, although not
legally divorced. Mrs. Johnson later came
to Illinois where in 1874 she married An
drew NJ Johnson. In the meantime Charles
Johnson had moved to Minneapolis and
married Augusta Johnson. In contesting
the title to the property Krestina Johnson
claimed that it was invalid because she,
as his lawful wife, had not signed the doc
nrnent.
The Title Insurance company had issued
an insurance policy on the mortgage.

REST FOR THE COURTS
County Board Can't Provide Funds Owing
to a Members Absence.

County Commissioner ]. B. Ryberg was
absent from the county board meeting
this morning and consequently no appro-
priation from the contingent fund for the
purpose of prolonging the present term of
court was possible, a full vote Of the
board being required in such cases. This
means that the business Of the present
terms will be practically closed down by
the middle of the week, and that the petit
jurors discharged, simply for lack of
money to pay current expenses. Criminal
cases called before Judge Elliott this
morning were all set for trial tomorrow
morning; and tomorrow they will be
formally continued over the. term. The
case against Nystedt and Haakenson,
however, will be tried next week.
The county auditing board, reporting on
the condition Of county funds, informed
the board that on Nov. 80 the vault of the
county treasurer contained $21,795; while
the balance in banks was $603, 1885, The
county also holds courthouse and city
hall bonds to the amount of 1912 900.

torneys, Lars M. Rand and John Day

for trial next Monday, and asked whether
the men would insist on separate trials
The court then said that only one case
could be tried at this term OF court, and,
after short conference with MIR. Smith
Mr. Rand announced that the defense
would probably not object to having both
tried at once. The case will be the last
trled at the present term Of court.

neapolis for many years and formerly
head of the City Ice company was ar
raigned before Judge Elliott this morn
ing, under an Indictment accusing him of

charge Of assault in the first degree for
having attempted to shoot her lover, Roy
Williams. She pleaded not guilty and bail
was fixed at $3.50, although the court init
mated that smaller amount might be &C
cepted, owing to the fact that the case
cannot be tried until January.

day to plead to an indictment accusing
him Of having stolen a horse and buggy
belonging to Frank M. Parcher. Bail in
his case was fixed at $1,000

tense. He is accused Of having entered
the store of George Redding, at % Gen.
trail avenue, and Of having taken s14 in
cash, together with 81 worth of postage
stamps and trading stamps to the amount
of 81. One indictment charges grand lar
ceny in the second degree; the other bur-
glary In the third degree.

indictments, both charging the theft of
cigars, liquors and IS in cash from Hans
Jackson's saloon, 52s Cedar avenue. The
specific charges were the same as those
in the Leonard case. Bail was fixed at
$500 each. .-
Charles Strand pleaded not guilty to the
theft of a watch from Gunder Erickson.
His case, like the others, was set for to-
morrow morning, and will then be con-
tinued over the term, the court fund be-
ing too far eXha usted to permit further
trials until the new appropriation becomes
available next January

Lively Runaway.

Monday afternoon a team belonging
to Andrew Roadstrom of Stanchfield
Lake while standing in front of the
roller mill got frightened and ran
away. Mr.. Roadstrom was in the mill
at the time and when he came out he
could just see his team disappearing in
a cloud of dust. They had not gone
far before the pole came down and the
wagon ''looped the loop" two or three
times while the horses proceeded to do
the chariot race act. They came up
First street at lively gait and went
around onto Main street in a manner
that made all spectators hold their
breath for what might happen. In
front Of Morneau's saloon one of the
horses fell down and slid over onto the
walk, one of it's hoofs punching hole
in the framework right under the
large plate glass window. Marshal
Newton was on hand and took charge
of the team until the owner arrived
and commenced taking an account of
stock. The horses were not hurt,
though the harness was damaged some
and the wagon needed a few repairs.
1t was fortunate thing that no one
was hurt on Main street as the horses
came around the corner.
