The sophomores suffered much, how

The participants in the fight prepared

and coarse working Jackets, so no
clothes were torn. No one was injured
in the scrap. the report that Weinrich,
of Burlington, was injured being with
out foundation of fact.

RUNAWAY HORSES DASH
INTO SALVATION ARMY
Team Breaks Up a Large Gathering
But No One Was Hurt.

A team Of runaway horses broke up
the Salvation army meeting at Payne
avenue and York street last evening.
The half-crazed animals charged the
crowd that had gathered for the serv-
ices and although several were thrown
to the ground In the rush that fol-
lowed, no one was seriously injured.
The team, which belonged to the AL
bion Livery company, was in charge
of Haldan Magnuson, engineer at the
Marlborough flats. Magnuson stepped
from the buggy at Mississippi street to
fix the harness, which had broken. He
had no sooner alighted than the horses
began their wild flight. Two women
who were in the rig jumped before the
team had gained Roadway. At Payne
avenue and York street the horses
dashed into the Salvation army meet
ing. Although over 1000 were attend
Ing the street service at the time Of
the accident, no one was injured. One
of the horses slipped on the pavement
and broke the buggy pole. The horses
were then brought under control by a
policeman.

WOUNDED HIM IN THE
HOUSE OF HIS FRIENDS
DIR. Fulton Draws Parallel Between
Caesar and Christ.

Wounded in the House OF His
Friends" was the subject of Rev. John
M. Fulton's sermon in Central Pres
byterlan church last evening. The dis
course was heard and appreciated by
an exceptionally large congregation.
DR.. Fulton said in part:
Among the most touching para
graphs in literature are those that
portray the scenes of betrayal where
men are wounded in the house of their
friends.
Julius Caesar had reached the sum-
init of his marvellous glory. He was
surrounded by men of power, long
tried friends. None held a larger. place
in his heart than Brutus. But ambi-
ton conquered friendship. and sharp
ened its daggers. The plot was laid.
Caesar stood in the midst of his SEN
ators, safe, he thought, because among
friends. Suddenly, and without warn
ing, C&sca stabbed him in the neck:
then other daggers cleaned in the air
and plunged into his body; but the
last and the keenest stroke was that
Of his dear friend. Marcus Brutus. In
heart-break of surprise Caesar ex-
claimed, Et tn Brute!' Thou also Bru-
tus! and expired-in the house Of his
friends! It was a dastardly deed. It
stands in history branded as the great
crime against friendship.
"But the great crime of the ages
against friendship and goodness and

eyes" responded the woman. The
medium then told the woman of some
serious difficulty in which she was and
which the spirit had come to tell her
was soon to pass away.
That elderly gentleman in the back
OF the room. Over his head l see the
letters J-a-n-e.' Now there are also
three little children. I can just see
their faces. Two Of them say Papa
the other is a playmate of theirs. Do
you recognize those, sir?"
NO"
But they are there, and they wish
to attract your attention" The me-
dunn then proceeded to repeat the
message communicated by the spirits,
notwithstanding the assertion of the
man that he did not know of such
spirits.
These are but examples of dozens of
similar tests, most of which were &C
knowledged to be accurate by the per-
sons addressed.
During the day addresses were made
Mrs. A. P. Whitwell. Mrs. S. M. Lowell
and Mrs. Asa Talcott. Tests were Civ
en- by Mrs. John Sauer, of ST. Paul,
and Mrs. Mary Jacobs and Mrs. Man
niwell, of Minneapolis. Prof and Mrs.
Zumbach gave several musical selec-
lions during the three meetings.

The board Of park commissioners Ii
in a predicament. 1t wants to an
nounce the opening of PhaIen park
this year, but cannot owing to the
reluctance of property owners along
Forest street to petition for the grad
ing of that thOrOughfare.
The opening of the park depends
upon the extension of the Lafayette
street care line to the park gates, and
as the most feasible and convenient
route, Forest street was selected by
the board. To permit the laying of the
tracks, which the street car company
has announced it's willingness to do,
the street must be graded, but up to
date only one of the six property own
ers Interested has evidenced a desire
to sign a petition which must have at
least two signatures before the board
of public works can order the work
done.
The park board had hoped for aid
through the Bethel association which
is the owner of large number of the
lots abutting the street, but just as the
donation was to be made the Bethel
boat was wrecked by ice and the asso-
citation decided that 1t would have to
withdraw from the proposed improve
ment. Now the park board is in
quandary and is seriously thinking Of
either abandoning the opening for an
other year or selecting another route.
