Wonderful Meeting Last Night-Forty
Two Persons Converted or Ask for
PRAYERS.
The closing service OF the M. E.
revival meetings was conducted in
the Sunday School room of the
Methodist Episcopal church last
night and it was very wonderful
meeting. Thirty seven people sought
the Savior by coming to the altar at
the front OF the church. Most of
these protested conversion before
the close of the meeting. Six others
asked for the prayers of the church
from their seats in the congrega-
ton.
This series of meetings has been
an unusual and remarkable one for
Morgantown. 1t was begun about
the first Of January, SIX weeks ago,
In all the time since then services
have been conducted every night
except Saturday night, and twice or
thrice on Sunday. DR.. Nj. T. Comp
ton has done almost all the
preaching, and been present at all
the meetings. His own inspiration
and horefulness inspired the church
till it became an active, Jealous
body of Christian workers. He has
won the hearts OF his hearers IN and
out of his church. Members of other
denominations have Joined in the
services and done active work in
persuading men and women to turn
the Savior. The meetings have been
harvest Of souls for many
churches.
More than one hundred and fifty
persons have been at the altar of
prayer ip the six weeks the meet
ings have been in session, and many
more have asked the help of the
church by request from their seats
in the congregation. A very large
proportion of those making a pro-
fession OF religion have been adult
men and women. Among those at
the altar last night was one man
with silyered hair There were 70
bust and manly young men of TWEEN
ty and twenty-five years, and there
we're boys and girls of twelve and
fifteen years. The pastor announc
ed in the opening that this was to
be the close of the continuous ser.
vices, and made special plea for
the surrender of those who were al
ready under conviction. Late in the
service he said there were fifty souls
that should be saved last night, and
If they would come to the altar, they
would see a shon ting Methodist
Preacher. The church was greatly
rejoiced that his hopes of rescuing
City souls were 30 nearly realized.
There will be three services Sun
day and an invitation will be given
to penltents Sunday night, but the
services will not be continued next
week. Such a religious revival as
the present one has not been known
in Morgantown ter long time. DIR.
Compton had received hints that
his congregation would not rally
round him in revival meeting but
he has been more than gratified with
the loyalty of his members. The
young men and women of the church
as we'll as the older ones have done
noble service.

City Nominations

During the week two new candida ates
for aldermanic honors have arisen,
as will be seen by the official publica-
tion of the certificates of nomination
printed in another column. c.. w.
Martens will contest with w. w.
Reeve and w. S. Keeney in the first
ward-two aldermen to be elected in
this ward. In the second c.. A. Kern
will contest with j. S. Farley for a
seat in the city council. The other
offices all remain with the nominations
as stated last week.
In the school election some of the
names mentioned as candidates on
the board of education are:
For members at large-F. w.
Mech an, William Jennings.
Member from first ward-J. D.
Burkhardt and A. J.. Hits.
Member from second ward-C. w.
Cannon.
Member from third ward-C. A.
Erlandson and A. f. Lindquist.
Treasurer-E. II. Benedict.
The school question is an impor-
tant one at all times. 1t is particu-
larly SO just at the present time in
Milbank, and though of necessity
there is likely to be divergent views
where SO many and important inter-
ests are involved, it is generally the
part of wisdom in such matters to
make haste slowly, and it will be we'll
for the patrons of the school and the
voters to look into the matters invol-
we'd before hastily deciding on any
radical changes. The board of educa-
tion has delicate and serious
if the new members to be elected are
conservative and well-poised on the
questions that will come up for their
decision, and above all other things
have the best interests of the school
atheart. The people of Milbank cannot
afford to have these interests
jeopardized through any prejudice or
misconceptfon of the real condition OF
the schools. The writer is one of the
retiring members of the board OF
education who is not candidate for
reelection, and he is aware of some
of the difficulties that the board has
encountered and is alive to some OF
the problems which the new board will
be called upon to solve, and he is
firmly convinced that good judgment
and careful and conservative manage.
ment will be necessary to keep the
schools in state of efficiency during
the next year. Radical and uncalled
for changes are sure to result in serious
detriment to the schools

The case of the government
against the Northern Securities
Company has been decided in
favor of the former in the st.
Paul courts under the anti trust
law. And so this wasn't mere
bluff of the Roosevelt ad dministra-
ton, after all. The government
has won before a tribunal com
posed of men of high judicial
standing and against the most
eminent counsel which the trusts
could secure. A more notable
victory has not recently been
achieved and a more popular one
with the people it would be diff
cult to imagine. Congratulations
are due to the President and to
the Attorney General, the first a
man Of firm purpose, the second
one of the most accomplish ed
and high minded of American
lawyers. This decision must be
rather convincing evidence to
democratic minds that the
republican fight against illegal
combinations is not a sham
battle.

The members of the O. E. S gave a
sort of farewell sociable entertain
ment Wednesday evening in honor of
a number of the members of the order
who were about to leave the city. A
progressive word writing contest was
followed by a short program in
which number of informal remarks
were made by several of the members,
after which refreshments were served
in the dining hall. Among these
members who were about to leave
Milbank were DR.. Francis Raberge,
who went east that night. Mr.. and
Mrs. E. S. Healy, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
l. Mcbride, Mrs. j. E. Truran, Mr..

Mrs. M. l.. Ecker and Mr.. and Mrs.

sever their associations with Milbank
in the near future.

The free public concert given by the
proprietors of the Stone & Sullivan
store Thursday evening of last week
was one of the most unique ways
which this firm has of advertising it's
business.
The store was brilliantly lighted for
the occasion, and the handsome dis
play of millinery and summer dress
goods on exhibition added to the
beauty of the scene.
The evening being pleasan one the
concert attracted large gathering at
the store where those who had not
heretofore done so, could observe the
fine quarters which Stone a. Sullivan
have secured, and also examine the
splendid line of goods which they
carry. The program rendered was as
follows:

The school problem is not con-
fined to any one place as will be
seen by the following item from
an Ortonville paper:
The higher grades in the public
school now begin the morning session
before breakfast, some of the lower
grades begin before dinner and some
don't begin at all. The rooms in the
higher grades are locked at five
minutes past eight so that those pupils
who have morning chores to do or
live in the country are enforced to get
their education on the street corners.
The mothers are required to have
meals at all hours and suffer other
incOnveniences.
