CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
AT A WEDDING
Strange Feature of the Marriage of a
Minneapolis Man in Wash
inston.

WASFIINGTON,s D.. c., Oct. 29.-
While the preparations for a wedding
were going on at the residence of DR..
and Mrs. Samuel A. Began, Miss
Louise Hoge, of Evanston, Ill, a Chris
tian Scientist, has been in an upper
room of the residence of the BRIDE
elect, i'll from an attack of fever and
without the care. of a physician.
The sickness Of the young woman,
who was to have participated in the
wedding of her school chum, Miss
Ethel HerbersBogan, naturally exerted
a depressing effect on the household,
and the spirit of buoyancy usually
present on the eve of a wedding, gave
place to a feeling of alarm andssolici-
tude. ss5s
Mrs. Began, because of the refusal
Of Miss Hoge's. relatives to- allow
physician, was deeply worried over
the situation, but was determined to
proceed with the ceremony today.
Miss Hoge came to Washington two
weeks ago in response to an invitation
from Mrs. Began, the mother of the
bridesmaids. The wedding took place
this noon in the Church of the Ascen-
sion. Miss Began was married to John
Eliot Shaw, son of Judge John Mel
vile Shaw. of Minneapolis, MINI.
Miss Hoge participated in the gaye-
ties of the wedding preparations in DR..
Bogan's family until one day last week
she complained of. not feeling well and
took to her bed. She thought her in
disposition but slight, and was conf
dent that she would be better the next
day. She averred that she would be
completely well before the wedding
day.. ss
The girls condition grew worse rap
idly, and, in spite of the advice of DR..
and Mrs. Began and her other friends
in the house, she refused to allow
physician to be called, and would not
permit DR.. Began to prescribe for her.
In despair, Mrs. Began telegraphed
to Evanston for Mrs. Hoge, the mother
of the young woman, also a believer in
Christian science, who has just arrived
here. She, too, has refused to allow
physician to attend the daughter. Mrs.
Began says that the girls mother is
using the Christian science methods of
treatment for the girl.
1t was intended by DR.. and Mrs. Bo-s
gan to have an elaborate wedding
breakfast at their home Immediately
following the wedding ceremony, but
cards sent out to this effect, on account
OF the serious illness of Miss Hoge,
were recalled

COMMISSION ON THE GROUND
Programme of the Work of Inspection
So Far as Arranged.

: WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 29.-The
members of the anthracite coal strike
commission left here this afternoon
for Scranton, Pa, where they will meet
tomorrow morning to begin their in
vestigation of the conditions in the
mining region. The commission will
spend tomorrow at Scranton arrang-
ing the details of the trip through the
coal fields. The hearings will not be-
gin until the formal claims of the
miners and the answer of the opera
tors have been filed.
The tour through the coal fields in
advance of the hearings will be of a
preliminary character, as the same
points in all probability will be visited
later for the purpose of taking the
testimony of mine bosses, foremen and
the miners themselves. To REQUIRE the
miners to leave their work and travel
any considerable distance to testify
before the commission would involve
considerable hardship upon the men
and also interfere with the working of
the mines. Important towns represen-
tativel of each of the fields will be Wis
tied. 1t is expected that the commits
sion will proceed to Wilkesbarre and
then to Pittston, which points, like

GUESS THAT GROWS
WHILE you ARE WAITING
1t Pierces the Eye Lids of Sleeping
Mules and Blinds Them.

DID you, Louisiana people from New
Orleans ever hear of the cocoa grass
which infests the cotton region of your
state on the upper river coast 2" The
youth from the country smiled ruefully
as he spoke. The planters up in Mis-
sissippi look on that abominabIe grass
as the, chief production of Louisiana.
We know that man in the Bible spoke
of 1T when he mentioned the plant which
could be cat down in the evening and
in the. morning would flourish as be-
fore. Cocoa takes everything it touches,
chokes, everything it takes and is the
plague; harassnlent and ruin of every
man contending with it. The grass
comes from a bulb and grows forever.
The blades. are six inches or a foot
long, the roots spread ten, fifteen or
twenty feet, growing fresh bulbs every
two inches and each bulb developing
a new plant. You can cut off the grass,
it will bez a asafinger- length above the
earth the next evening. Split the bulb
and each part becomes a whole. Dose
it with salt and it tfirives. Kerosene is
to 1t as the morning dew. Flowing cul-
tfvates it; hoeing produces new life.
Build a house over it, Ietait stay fifty
years and then burn 1t down. The
grass will come up through the smok-
ing ashes. Plant potato crop, every
tuber will be pierced through and
through. Last year nearly every mule
on my place went blind from the grass.
The weather was rainy. The stuff grew
fast. The: mules lay down on the
ground, stretched out to rest before
the morning bell called them to the
plow. Before they were aware the
grass had pierced the. lids, entered the
ball and destroyed the sight of the
first eye. The next night the mules
lay on the other side to rest the af-
fiicted spot. The grass put out the
one eye remaining. OF forty one mules
thirty-seven and one-half lost their
sight before the rainy spell ended.

the Jury,s Hands Today.
Special to The Globe
WASEGA, Mimi, Oct. 29.-Rapid
progress was made today in the. trial of
Fred Kugath, charged with the mur-
der of Philip Bishman. The morning
session was consumed with testimony
Tor the defense. Amelia Kugath,
mother of the defendant; Carl Kugath,
one of the. defendants and father of
Fred; Mr.. Suemnick, a neighbor: Mrs.
Ruhl, neighbor, sand Mrs. Lipke, the
bride at the wedding, were called by
the defense. The testimony Of Mr.. and
Mrs, kugath cofroborated that OF Fred.
Mrs. Ruhl testified that Bishman and
Mutcahery, his partner, attempted fa-
miliaritieS with her, and Mrs. Lipke, in
whose honor the celebration was being
held, testified that ,Bishman insulted
her and tried to induce her to go rid
Ing with him. xss---sr4e}s ~ z,tt+1a
Suemnick testified that he came to
the wedding as one of the charivari
party and left about the time the row
commenced, and stated that he Heard
the noise of the fight from a distance,
and identified positively the voice Of
defendant Bahr, who said: IT will kill
him, I will kill him.
In rebuttal, Martin Everson was
sworn by the state, and he contradict
ed Kugath Sr. He stated that some
weeks prior to the wedding Kugath Sr.
had told him there would be a wedding
at the house, and that they We're going
to invite Bishman and go after him
when he got there. -
County Attorney Moonan spoke an
hour in arguing the case before the
jury, and p. j. Kerwin consumed three
hours on behalf of the defense. Judge
Buckham will charge the jury at 8: so
tomorrow and the case will go to them
at that time.
The evidence shows that the trouble
started in drunken row fnstigated by
Bahr. But three persons gave direct
testimony as to the actual killing, those
being the three defendants, Bahr and
the two Kugaths. Bahr admitted
striking Bishman. but denied using an
instrument The two Kugaths deny
striking him at all; and state that the
fight was entirely Bahr's and that he
struck the fatal blow.
The theory of the state is that Ku-
gath, the defendant in this trial, plan
ned the murder of Bfshman, and that
Bahr was used as a tool. The defense
has attempted to prove that the affair
was entirely one of Bahr's and that
every one was drunk and that the two
KugathS were unaware that any crime
was being committed. The state has
introduced some Testimony tending to
prove motive in that Bishman owed
Kugath money which he refused to
pay, but it is thought that sufficient
motive or generalization has not been
proven against this defendant, and
verdict of guilty of murder in the first
degree is not expected

Northern coal basin. Then the middle
Eastern fields and the Southern coal
fields will be visited in turn The towns
to be visited probably will include
Hazelton, Shenandoah, Pottsville, Tam-
auqa, Shamokin and Carbondale.
One commissioner said today that he
believed the reports would be ready
within two months.
IF either of the parties to the con-
troversy should refuse to abide by the
decision of the commission what could
be done?" this commissioner was ask
ed.
IT do. not regard that as a possi-
bility," was the answer 1--WE see no
reason to anticipate anything of the
sort I do not believe that either side
could face the force of public opinion
by rejecting the conclusion which they
have agreed in advance to accept
For the session in the coal region
the commission will use the Baltimore
& Ohio club car. This car is the only
one of the kind in the country and is
specially adapted for the accommoda-
ton OF bodies travelling from place to
place. In addition the commission will
have at its disposal a Pullman sleeper.
The commission pays for both cars,
having refused a tender of cars made
by the, railroads operating in the coal
regions. --
SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. 29-The an
thracite coal strike commissioners ar
rived here tonight. The commissions
Headquarters are at the Hotel Jermyn.
Tomorrow will be spent in the region
north of this city. At 9:15 a. m. the
party will leave for Forest City. This
mining town is in Susquehanna coun-
ty and is the upper edge of the hard
coal fields, twenty-five miles from
here. The train will travel slowly so
that the commissioners can get a good
idea of the country At Forest City
the party will be lowered into one of
the Erie company's mines and it is
expected that the entire morning will
be spent under ground. Lunch will be
had in Carbondale, four miles south of
Forest City. A coal breaker will be
visited at Carbondale and then the
return journey to Scranton will be
made. The commissioners will stop at
Olyphant, six miles north of Scranton,
to look at the homes and surroundings
of the mine workers. Scranton will
be reached at about o'clock in the
evening.
On Friday the commission will spend
the day visiting collieries in and about
Scranton and viewing the mining sub
urbs. Saturday the commission will
go to Wiikesbarre
Mr.. Watkins, In an interview today,
said that the commission will probably
not sit to take testimony until after
tour of the region has been comp1et-
ed. 1t is possible, though, that a ses-
sion will take place Monday in Wilkes
barre to receive the statement to be
presented by President Mitchell of the
mine workers, to which the operators
have agreed to make answer within
three days. It is almost certain that
no testimony will be taken in this city
this week.
Twenty-Five accountants were
brought here today from New York
by the Erie company. They will as
sist the company's clerks in this city
in arranging data for presentation to
the commission.

SISTERS COULDN'T FORGET IT.
After a Years Delay of Case They Abuse
Each Other In Court.

After Years Delay of Case They Abuse
Each Other In Court.
One year ago yesterday Mary Hadler
had her sister, Maggie Knapp, arrested
and brought into the municipal court on
the charge of assault.
The case came up before Judge Holt,
and he was at that time of the opinion
that it was family quarrel, and as
soon as their blood cooled down they
would both be sorry for the trouble
that had been occasioned.
He Informed them that he would con-
tinue the case for one year, and held
and at the end of that time if every
thing was pleasant the case would be
dismissed and their bonds released
Yesterday they appeared in the mu
nicipal court, and it was evident that
the Years respite had done little good
with the sisters. They were more comba-
tive than ever. and even went SO far
as to use abusive language to each other
when they met yesterday. They also
threatened each other with bodily harm.
Judge Holt decided the only thing to
do under the circumstances was to i'm
pose a fine on the one who appeared to
be the most belligerent. He accordingly
required Maggie Knapp to pay fine

MARCH OF THE DoUkHoBoRs.
Another Contingent Reaches Yorkton
Attempt to Send Them Back.

WINNIPEG, Man., Oct. 29.-An-
other contingent of Doukhobors reach
ed Yorkton today. The women and
children were taken in charge by the
government officials and fed. The
men continued on their march, look
ing for new converts to their religion.
OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 29.-According
to a dispatch received today from
Yorkton by the department of immi-
grafton, about 1900 Doukhobors, who
are religiously demented, had arrived
there. All were in good condition,
there being but five cases of sickness
among them. An effort will be made
to get them to return to the villages,
where there is plenty of food. The SUI
perintendent of immigration says he
will look after the Doukhobors and
charge the expenses to the fund
which was obtained from the sale of
ed loose and seized by the govern
ment
The Doukhobor fanatics are en-
camped in the vicinity of Yorkton.
Nothing of a disorderly nature has yet
occurred. While the women and chill
dren of the party spent the night in
the shed, the men sought the shelter
of a bluff. The whole night was spent
in religious exercises. They seem de-
lefnlned TO continue, ana expressed
themselves thus to Agent Speers, who
pointedly told them they would not
be allowed to wander in such large
numbers. There is no danger of any
trouble. Even if they are forced to
go back to their villages they will go
without resistance.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 29.-The
DoukhoborS, who are said to be Great
ing disturbances in Manitoba, were in
-duced to leave Russia and settle in
Canada by Joseph S. Elkinton, a
Quaker, of this city, who was aided by
several influential members of the So
ciety of Friends. He spent three
months among the Doukhobors, and
was the personal representative of the
men who made possible the emigra-
ton of the Russian sect.
Mr.. Elkinton says he has agents in
each Of the fifty-eight Doukbohor vii
lagos in Canada, but has not as yet:
received information from them of
marching and alleged rioting
THAT 1000 of them are on the
march, propaganding strange doc
trines," said Mr.. Elkinton, Il cannot
believe. I am sure that the whole
matter has been exaggerated"
Mr.. Elkinton said he had visited
ffty-four of the ffty-e eight villages.
Crime, he asserted, is practically un-
known among the people. Honesty
morality and truthfulness he declared
to be their chief characteristics.

NoRTHRoP SCORES THE PSI US.
President of University Rebukes Fraternl-
tX for DisoheGience.

President Cyrus Northrop, of the state
university, publicly rebuked the Psi Up
silon fraternity at chapel yesterday morn
ing. The president announced that if the
offenses of which members of the society
have been guilty had been committed by
individuals as such, there would have
been prompt expulsions from the col
lege.
It appears that last year four of five Of
the fraternities met with President Nor
throp and made an agreement not to rush
high school scholars. At the beginning
cf this term the Psi U gave notice to
other frats that they proposed to burst the
agreement and hold a rush. President
Northrop was not notified. He did not
hear Of the breach of compact until the
morning it was slated to occur. AS soon
as the knowledge came to him, DR.. Nor
throp telephoned to. the chapter house
and insisted that the party be called off
Despite this. the Psi Upsilon held their
party and informed DR.. Northrop next
day that they had not received his mes
sage.
This excited the ire of the president,
who delivered such a roast as has not
been vouchsafed to any fraternity In the
state university before. DR.. Northrop
warned his hearers that if anything of the
kind ever happened egain there would
be serious doings. The other fraternities
are now pointing the finger of scorn at
the Psi Epsilon crowd and making life
miserable for that scintillant bunch.

Machinery and the Advantage of I'm

lieved Both Candidates Will Break
Even in Country Towns.

Whatever change there has been in
the congressional situation in Mime
apolis during the last few days has Ger
tainly been in favor of John Lind.
1t appears that Mr.. Lind has the
practically undivided support of the
Democratic party, inclusive Of all or
nearly all of those who have failed to
support the candidate of the party
since 1896
The Democratic campaign is and has
been from the beginning vociferous
and enthusiastic. Fletcher's supporters
are making much of the alleged disaf-
fection of the Irish contingent, but in
vestigation affords very little ground
for such claim.
Where Lind's Strength Lies.
Lind's strength lies in the undivided
support of his party and in the large
nationality vote of Republicans,
Swedes Norwegians and Danes, who
are supporting him although general
ly voting the Republican ticket. There
is also strong support in that large dis
senting Republican vote which prefers
some other candidate to Mr.. Fletcher,
and has been uneasy and dissatisfied
during Fletcher's long term in congress.
F1etcher's strength lies in the party
machinery and in the Republican habit
of voting for the party nominee. He

up the best possible campaign under
the circumstances. The betting has
been dull from the beginning, at no
time strongly in favor Of either candi-
date, and during the past two days bets
in sums of $500 have been made even.

The country towns will most likely
be nearly a standoff. The Lind people
have surely been gaining great conf
dence within the last few days, and
there is an air of satisfaction about the
campaign managers that indicates at
. least the trend of local feeling.
81 Mr.. Lind said last night that he was
not in the least worried over the out
come; that he had nothing to regret if
defeated, but that he had no idea of
being defeated. On the contrary, he
considered that the conditions could
hardly be more generally satisfactory.

and was evidently panic-stricken when
the long term was given.
Frank NJ. Nye, Blew's attorney. made
a strong plea in his behalf, pointing out
that he and his partner had done every
thing in their power voluntarily to aid the
losers in recovering a part of the money,
but the county attorney, Mr.. Boardman,
stated that there were other charges
against the men.
Blew was asked by the court If he was
a married man, but he was so affected
as to be unable to reply except in a whis
per. When the sentence was pronounced
he almost collapsed, but finally recovered
himself and was taken back to jail.
Thomas f. Armstrong, Blews partner,
will plead tomorrow. There is some
doubt in view Of the severity of Blew's
sentence, whether he will plead guilty.
