HE'S A HERETO.
But He Strikes Back in
Lively Fashion.

The Rev. Granville Louter was
expelled from II Methodist Confer
ence out at Mcpherson, Kan, last
week for teaching heretical doe
trine. He strikes back at his breth-
ren in the following words:"I
have been asked if | were going to
appeal from the decision of the
court. | think | will not. While
my attorneys and the attorney for
the prosecution both think there is
sufficient grounds for appeal, and
urge me to do so, yet, should | APP
peal and the decision be reversed
there is still lack of sufficient har-
mony between me and the church
in general to make it unpleasant
for me and to make my success
doubtful. My object has been to
contribute as much as was able
to, keeping the church abreast of
the movements of this age. New
issues have arisen. The black
man is free, but we have indust-
rial slavery which is crushing mil
lions of our people, and had hoped
ed that our church would champ
ion their cause as it did that of
the blacks. We have grown to be
wealthy, and are i'll the grasp of
capitalism. My heart and soul
are with the oppressed, and my
church is so much controlled by
their oppreSsorS that fear would
not be acceptable in her pulpitS.
| am an evolutionist, and the ma
jority of our ministers think that
is infidelity. am Il higher critic,
and most people think that is des-
tluctive of the foundations of faith
| am an advocate of holiness in
this life and our people immersed
in the competitive struggles Of
business, commerclallsm aud wars
think it is impracticable. j believe
that no creed can compass the
whole range of truth, and that
men ought TO be free to express
their convictions. The action of
the conference in my ease shows
that we cannot do SO. | have no
feelings of bitterness against any
one. Many ministers have said to
me that they believed as do. |
am in harmony with the leading
educators, but it seems that | am
out of harmony with most of my
ministerial brethren y

DRIVEN INSANE.
A Train Crews Troubles In
The Snow.

st. ,PaulMinn. April 3-Passengers
who arrived on the Great Northern
train yesterday tell of the hardships
endured during the snow blockade
in North Dakota last week. The
worst blizzard the Northwest has
seen in many years prevailed, with
only food enough for one frugal
meal a day, aud with such small
amount of fuel that the ladies had
to wrap themselves in the blankets
and the men to wear their overcoats
day and night to keep from frecz-
ing.
There was much suffering.
Food ran short and the passengers
were put on short rations, some of
them subsisting on one meal a day.
The second-class passengers insist
ed that they must have as much rs
the others, and, as they were in
larger numbers and had more raw
enous appetites, it was difficult to
coniine them even to their quota
Two of the passengers were driv-
en- insane. Monday morning Prof
COlgrOve of the University of
Washington, who was en route
East on Il vacation trip, and who
had been despondent and morosc,
attempted suicide by cutting his
throat with II razor.
In their desperation the passen-
gers broke open everything in the
train chests, and in the conduc-
tors box found II telegraph instru-
mcnt. A young man, an electric
ian, on the train faced the blizzard q,
tapped the wires aud attached
the instrument. He knew Il little
about telegruphy and notified the
operators Mt Minot and Williston
Of what had occurred From each
place snow plow was started in
front of an engine bearing sur
gcon. The one from Minot, after
a hard nights work, reached the
siding early the following morning
and the wounded man was remov-
ed on the first train to st. Paul
where he was cared for at the City
Hospital.

A Trip East"

EDITOR MESSAGE:-Wc made a
trip down into the southeastern
part of the county recently. Stayed
ed over Sunday in the vicinity of
Olivet church visited the
Sunday School. Mr.. Iker is sup
erintendent We were glad to no.
tice such a good interest taken in
the review of the lessons. The ex-
aminationS by the teachers was
perhaps a little brief but to the
point. One good feature we no.
ticed, the classes were called on
by the superintendent from No. |.
to No. s., and the teacher aud
pupils We're able and didrepeat each
Il verse of Scripture. Excellent
vocal and instrumental music. We
think Il Sunday School conducted
as at Mt. Olivet is as near n model
school as any we have visited in
years. After the Sunday School
exercises ii Rev SAKE gave an in
structivc talk on the origin of Fast
er Sunday. We of course, felt like II
stranger among Il strange people,
but we felt that we were among
God ) people
We found that every voter had II
pocket full Of candidates cards.
Our daughter who lives near MI.
Olivct church, said ~ many as
ten candidates had called at their
house in one day. We find the
race with some candidates will he
close, one will carry one township
aud another will carry the adjon-
ing township. 1t will be 80 close
between some that nothing but the
actual votes will tell the total. \
few we could name will not be in
it at all, but of course they can t
see it. {. l.. j.

CIark's Prediction.

Hon. Champ Clark in a speech
in Congress the other day on the
Chinese exclusion act said:
Without being a prophet or the
son of prophet, l predict that
should the Supreme Court decide
that the citizens or subjects of
Spain in the islands which we ac-
quired became when annexed ipso
facto citizens of the United States,
the people of this country will
speedily find way of ridding
themselves of that huge incubus,
for it cannot be that in their sober
senses, Americans will deliberate.
ly determine to subject our labor
ers to death dealing competition
with the cheap labor of the orient.
"The sooner the labOrers of this
country wake up to the fact that
their escape from competition not
only with European cheap labor,
but also with the cheap labor of
Asia, lies III the United Statss cut
ting loose from the PHILIPPINES at
once and forever, the better it will
be for them. 1t is their only sal
walton. If the Supreme Court ev
er decides that the residents of the
PHILIPPINES are citizens of the Uni
ted States, it will also most prohn
bly, decide that Congress has no
power to restrict their free locomo-
ton in any part of the United
States. Then they will pour in
and submerge American laborcrs.
I'VE all take pride i'll the fact
that our laborers are the most
skillful, the best.fcd, best housed,
best clothed, the most ambitious
| labOrers on the face of the whole
earth; and am opposed to any
thing that will deprive them of Il
single comfort or in any manner
reduce their standard of living or
lower them III the scale of civili-
zation.'

APRIL FOOL JOKE.
A Number of HObos Get q
Free Lunch.

Centralia, Mo-, April 2.-One
- year-old boy caused more ex-
element in Centralia by an April
1st prank than the town has eX-
perienced since the smallpox cpl
demic. A number of petty thefts
have taken place recently, the
residence of X. l.. Hope, Alderman
and druggist, being among those
burglarized.
Yesterday morning Linwood,
the 12-year-old son of Mr.. Hope,
opened windows, carried out valun-
able articles aud hid them and
otherwise simulated an extensive
burglary. After he had gone to
school the apparent burglary was
discovered. For three hours the
hobos of the town were in terror.
The highways were secured and
all of the gentry brought into
town and searched. Telephones
were kept hot all over the country
and adjoining towns were rousing
to action when the innocent cause
of all the uproar came home from
school aud explained the joke,
when the city fathers ceased from
their strenuous labOrS gave the in
jured hobos Il free lunch and bless
ed the day.

Three fine residences, just

nimbly and with as much delight
as in the days agone.
That "Korn Kure" and "Elec-
trio Belt man on the southwest
corner of the square got few of
our middle e-aged boys the other
Saturday. His first bait was;
"You buy my corn cure at %
cents box; if ! sell as many as
ten or Il dozen boxes III this crowd
then every man gets his money
back" The boxes were soon
sold. Then every purchaser was
asked to hold up his hand and
each was handed back his quarter.
Now his second game. a five
dollar belt for only one dollar
cure any ill, and if | sell as
many as ten or twelve here then
every man gets his dollar back. y
This speech was made just about
at the minute the banks close.
Well, he sold the belts and took in
a dollar for each Then he held
upa roll of greenbacks and de
clared that he had money i'll the
banks, that his check was as good
as any mans. How many would
take his check on one of the
banks!" 1t was a smooth speech.
The checks were delivered, the
boys went their ways-with their
checks and belts. The banks were
closed for the day, but Monday
morning following the value of
those checks was learned-and the
lesson was completed.

BARRE VT, July 23 1902

The clerks at the town OF Raymond,
N. H., are very thankful for prohibit
hibtion, not that it causes
them to save their wages but because
it has compelled the merchants there
to close their stores every night in
the week. Until the prohibitcry law
was enforced there business
was so good that dealers would not
close their stores two nights a week.
Now that the law is enforced and all
the saloons are closed business has
fallen off greatly. The enforcement
of the law is also driving out many Of
the summer boarders who annually
pay much money in the town, but the
Methodist minister, who demanded
that the law be enforced, does not
care. He will when the people close
up their empty pocket books and give
the contribution box the go by. But
great is the majesty Of the law.
