.DODDs not NOTIFIED
Presiding Elder Does Not Expect
Trial by His Church for
Breach Of Promise.
He Was Engaged to Minneapolis
Lady, but They Parted by
Mutual Agreement.

Special to The Journal.
4 Crookston, Mimi, Sept. 27.-Dr. Lafay-
cite Dodds, presiding elder Of the Crooks
ton district Of the M. E. church, is at his
home in this city resting before the ses-
sion Of the annual conference which he
will attend next week. He has received
no notice Of any intention to bring before
that body charges in a breach of promise
case.
AS to the foundation for such an ac-
cusation the fact Is that DR.. Dodds was at
one time engaged to a young lady Of Min
neapolis. After the death Of the mother
Of his children, some four years ago, a
family Of boys was left alone during his
frequent and continued absences and a
mutual friend brought the two together.
This was in February, 1901.
The acquaintance, though casual, result
ed after few meetings in an agreement
to marry and the lady closed out dress
making business in Minneapolis and made
preparations for the event. Late in the
year she went to Iowa on a visit and
twice in October of last year she failed to
meet the doctor for the purpose of having
the ceremony performed, although she
had left the date for him to fix, the fail
ure on her part being to carry out a de-
sire for a longer visit. -. ..-.
On more mature acquaintance it became
apparent to both that certain incompat-
abilities of belief and family feeling made
it best that the marriage agreement
should be nullif1ed and this was done, DR..
Dodds bearing the expense Of the prepara-
ton of the trousseau. The parting was
fully understood and mutually agreeable.
DR.. Dodds has recently married an es-
Unable lady and has the confidence of the
people here and Of the churches under his
charge. ~. ..... 49, -. ....,.

INVESTIGATING REV. LANYARD
An Iowa M. E. Conference Is Look
! .lr;s~ ing Tn His Record.

{ For man whose chief characteristic
was his extremely mild manners and
seeming lack of self assertion, Rev. Julius
A. Ward, a former pastor Of Fowler M E.
church in Minneapolis, is making a deal
Of a stir in the world. The latest word
regarding him comes from Marshalltown,
Iowa, where it is reported that the Upper
Iowa Methodist conference is investigating
him, with dismissal as one of the possible
results. Mr.. Ward, it seems is still under
the jurisdiction Of the conference. The
investigation does not appear to be based
upon any recent specific charges against
the clergyman brt is prompted more by
general reports of the last year. 3 -ss -
From Minneapolis Mr. Ward went to
New York where or time he was con-
nected with a church His first exploit
was the rescue Of a wealthy Gothanite
from foot-pads, which brought him prom
1nently before the public and secured for
his church handsome stained glass win
dow from the grateful citizen. Later Mr.
Ward. studied osteopathy and - finally
evolved an original system Of healing with
such queer name and peculiar theories
that he was again sensationally exploited
In the New York dailies. This advertising
brought him an apparently aristocratic
clientele for Mr.. Ward next broke into
the papers as plaintiff in "a suit against
a Mrs. fiavemeyer, to collect fees. In the
trial his patient set up the claim that she
was to receive treatment free in consider
at1on or talking up" the healer, and her
attorneys ridiculed his theories which
were defended rather clumsily. 1t is be-
nVed that the prominence given to,,:Mr
ward In this case is responsible for the
conference investigations. ~, ,yi!r.t41

WHERE HIS WIFE IS
That's a Mans Home According to
Judge Lochren Of the Fed
eral Court.
James McNair's Store at Bemidi il Not
Exempt Because His Wife
Lived in Minneapolis.

Home Is where your wife Is, decides
Judge Lochren Of the federal district court
in the bankruptcy case of James McNair.
This bankrupt, doing. business at Be
midi, MIMI, claimed as his homestead
there and exempt from levy by his cred
itors, the one story brick store where he
used to sleep and keep his wardrobe
But, as he admitted on examination here
before o. c. Merriman, referee in bank
ruptcy, his family, consisting of his wife
and four children, had continued to occu-
py, with his consent, in Minneapolis, a
dwelling owned by his wife,
The contention that the Bemidji store
was the, bankrupt's legal domicile, his
homestead, and, therefore exempt, was
allowed by the referee5in his report to the
court 1"t .#2f Ii
But Judge Lochren, reversing the ref
cree, pointed out that, according to- Web
ster, homestead is a dwelling" and
that the bankruptcy law (section 5521)
refers to dwelling house, Yet the fact
that the greater portion Of the Bemidji
house was used as a store would not have
prevented the building from being the
bankrupts dwelling in legal sense, had
his, wife and children not lved perma-
nerlly, with his: consent, at Minneapolis.
Neither was the. case affected by the as
surance that the bankrupt voted in Be-
midi: IF he did so he violated the law"
Referee Merr1man was specially touched
by one phase Of the argument The cred
itors' attorney insisted that the bankrupt
had resided In minneapolis and that he
was merely .'ccmmorant3 Of Bemidji."
And, Of course, If he really was,'' said
Mr.. Merriman to-day, ''.that makes all
the difference in the world

TWO BELATED PRECINCTS
Fosters Friends Say They Give Hin
> a Lead. - -

- Friends of A. F. Foster believe that a
recount would give him the republican
nomination for congress in the sixth dis
itrtct. Two precincts, one in Todd coun-
ty and one in Wadena, failed to make re-
turns to the county auditor Of the vote
on congressman. In these two precincts
Foster got 40 votes more than Buchanan.
Unless the latter made gains on the re-
count in other localities, Foster would be
the nominee by ten votes.
Secretary of State Hanson received Mr.
Fosters formal notice Of contest. this
morning. It said:
Within the five days from the com
pletion Of the canvass of the votes by
the state canvassing board, allowed by
law for that purpose, the proper legal pa
pers will be served you, and you are
further notified not to take any steps or
do any acts in the matter of the nomina-
ton of G. B. Buchanan until after the ex-
piration Of the five days allowed by law
in which to commence contest proceed
ings" = = rz.s
Mr.. Hanson said this morning that he
would take notice of the protest and would
hold Mr.. Buckmars certificate Of nOmina-
ton for the present. .
If the persuasions of the republican
state committee succeed, A. F. Foster will
withdraw his contest. and give G.. B.
+ Buchanan free field for the sixth dis
trict republican nomination. - II
Es5Mr. Foster was in conference this after
noon at state headquarters with Messrs
Jannison,t Martin; Whitney, andsMorey OF
the state committee. They urged him to
withdraw in the interests of party har-
nnony and success. re

RETIREMENT FUND WORK
Meeting Of the Executive Committee
So Z of the Teachers Club. l7-.-sz

A meeting Of the executive committee
OF the Teachers club and some of the
school principals was held last night to
discuss informally the teachers retire
ment fund work. The teachers were
largely In favor of some kind Of a retire
ment fund, but they were not satisfied
with the basis Of the original fund nor
with some of it's provisions
An unexpected treat was the opportlI-
nifty Of meeting DR.. Ida G. Bender, pri-
mary supervisor of the schools of Buffalo,
N. Y, and president of the Woman Teach
ers association. DR.. Bender made an
informal address that created much en-
thusism. She encouraged the members
present to continue in their work. for a
teachers retirement fund and told of sue
cessful efforts in Buffalo,. Her account OF
the way in which the Woman Teachers
association secured home was listened
to with deep interest and may result in
a similar movement. The Bunalo club,
numbering not more than 200 members at
the time, was offered for $4,000 about
six years ago, a fully equipped clubhouse,
about to- be vacated by another club.
Three days was given in which to make
a decision. At the end of the time $4,000
had been provided for by placing a mort
gage for $4,000 on the property, by secur-
ing loan from friend for $1,000 and by
subscriptions from teachers. These were
to be paid back with interest within twen-
ty years. In six months the $1,000 loan
supplied by an outsider was Cancelled, as
the club wanted to have the whole thing
among the teachers Now, all but $4,000
Of the purchase price has been paid, and
that debt has been deliberately retained
as spur to action. The club has the
money to pay it, but prefers instead to
make improvements.
Having a home, the Organization is-not
only; a social center, but has become a
university extension center, and offers the
only opportunity for higher education af-
forded by the city Of Buffalo. The latest
plan of the club is to establish a summer
cooperative home for teachers.
Dr. Benders account of the joy the
teachers took in having a janftor to or
der around with the additional privilege
of discharging him If. they desired, pro-
yoked sympathetic smile from her au-
dience, several Of whom are In the habit
Of dealing with janitors without these
privileges.

Of beets this year-5,0OO, it is estimated.
AS the crop is good there will be nearly
90,000,000 pounds of beets to be handled
by the st. Louis Park factory this fall.
The beets are Of excellent quality, being
large and well-shaped and containing a
large percentage of sugar. The manager
of the factory says that the output for
the year will be fully 100000 pounds
Of sugar. MostA this sugar has already
been sold to twill. city joDpers.
The dairymen have already contracted
for the dry pulp of the factory for cattle
feed. Its sale makes an important item
in the profit of the factory.
An important improvement over last
years method Of handling the products
of the factory has been made, and nothing
but pure water will hereafter be dis
charged into Minnehaha creek and only
one-tenth as much as before.
