Most Noble and Inspiring Life
Comes to An End.
Remarkable Career of This Well
Known Preacher.
Early Struggles in This Sec
ti0n of State.
From Saturdays Daily.

Rev. J. w. Powell, whose serious i'll
ness was announced in last nights Free
Press, died this morning at two o'clock
at his home at Spring Island. In him
the community has lost one of its most
devoted benefactors, one of those early
preacher pioneers, whose zeal for the
cause of Christianity and civilization
yielded to no obstacles.
John Walker Powell was born on Au-
gust Is, 1922, in Dearborn county, not
far from Shelbyville, Ind. His early
life was spent on his fathers farm and
all the opportunities he had of gain
ing an education were embraced in the
common country school and the Shelby
County Seminary. In February, 1915,
he entered the ministry of the Methodist
Episcopal church, joining the Indiana
conference, thus beginning his long term
of fifty years service for his church
He was ordained deacon of the church in
1S47 and elder in lS49, and did excellent
PASTORAL work in several towns of the
Hoosier state. 1t was here that he first

w. w. P. Mcconnell, state dairy and
food commissioner, yesterday received
from A. w. Trow, agent of the commits
sion at the st. Louis worlds fair, the
detailed score of Minnesota competitors
in the July national educational butter
scoring contest, conducted by the ma
tional bureau of agriculture, the scor
ing of which were announced on Wednes-
day of this week The success of Min
nesota in the national contest is most
gratifying to the Minnesota commission
er, and it is believed that it will be of
greater advantage to the state as an
advertisement of the superiority of the
butter of the North Star state in the
markets of the east.
Minnesota captured practically all the
honors of the competition, and of the
III tubs of creamery butter entered by
exhibitors from the state, all but 26
scored over "a and but fell below 90R,
while the lowest award a Minnesota ex-
hibitor was Sc in the scoring. The gen.
eral average attained by butter from
Minnesota was 941a, and the average of
butter scoring over 80 was 94.75.

FOUND THE METEORITE.
Searching Party Finds 1t Imbedded
in the Earth.

Kenyon, Mimi, July 23.-The me-
teorite was found by searching party in
the heavy timber strips on the farm of
j. A. Tale, four and one-half miles
northeast of Kenyon, yesterday morning.
1t is of a dark blue color, with highly
ribboned black lines, and reddish brown
shots. 1t appears solidly imbedded, with
about five-sixths of it's bulk in the
ground. 1t is estimated to weigh be-
tween 1000 and 1900 pounds.
Small trees were ground into pulp
and limbs of large oaks broken like
matches by its descent. The indications
are that there was intense heat for hours
after its fall. 1t was cold when found,
the earth being baked into the solidity of
pottery from eight to fifteen yards sur
rounding. A test by Professor Ramos of
the Kenyon high school, one of the
searching party, discloses that there
is metal in it. The farmer owning the
land refuses liberal offer. Excitement
prevails.

undertook the duties of circuit rider
with all the perils and hardships incident
thereto. In those early days, long before
the development of modern means of
transportation, most of the travelling of
these itinerant preachers had to be done
on horseback. They would ford or swim
rivers, plunge into forests and cross
painless prairies. About all the world
ly goods that they would use for months
at time, they would carry in couple
of saddle bags.
1t was during his period of service in
Indiana that he was married on Sept
81, lS47, to Miss Rhoda B. Gray. On
Oct. 10, 1855, Rev. and Mrs. Powell came
to Mankato with their two children Rev.
Powell was the first regular pastor of
the Methodist church in this city. In
Minnesota likewise he preached as a
circuit rider. Soon after coming to Man
kato he made him home on the farm in
Spring Island, about quarter of mile
west of the school house. This was not
a great distance from the Spring Valley
farm where he last resided, and where he
died. In this rustic retreat he built a
log cabin, around which he cultivated the
soil in addition to his arduous labors
as travelling minister.
Rev. Powell used to say that when he
first came to Minnesota his circuit was
bounded on the north by the British pos
sessions, on the south by the conference
of Iowa, on the east by the conference of
Wisconsin and on the west by the Pa
cifc ocean. AS the country became
more and more settled, however, his cir
cults grew smaller in extent of ter
ritory. Yet he had vast area to cover
even in the later years of his career in
the ministry. He was frequently oblig-
ed to change his residence in consequence.
The family lived at various times at
Eagle Lake, Mantorville, Pine Island,
Blue Earth City and other points.
In 1856 he helped to lay out the town
site of Shelbyville, which for many years
was a fourishing little village, until the
location of the railway necessitated its
removal to the present village of Amboy
At Shelbyville he made his home for
some time. He was busily engaged for
many years preaching and organizing
churches in the neighborhood of Shelby
vile and Blue Earth city, and had pas
toral charge of the Methodist church at
the latter place several different times.
In 1872 he built the first chapel in that
town, and in 1887, he erected the pres
emit commodious church there, then the
finest in the country.
During the later years of his career,
Rev. Powell would have charge of
regular pastorate, and would also make
it point to preach in surrounding towns
of the same circuit, until such towns
were able to take care of a pastor for
themselves. His last charge was at Del
ano with Montrose and Watertown as

Mrs. Powell died in 1884.

Mrs. Powell died IN 1884.
After fifty years of the most active
ministerial work, Rev. Powell retired in
1895 on account of advanced age. Since
that time he has travelled somewhat, aid
ing other preachers here and there. He
has also done considerable lecturing in
Minnesota and Indiana, his favorite top
ic being "The Pioneer Preachers Early
Experience" For some years past he
has spent his summers on his farm at
Spring Island, where he has taken an in
tense interest in berry culture, making a
speciality of raising black respberries.
His winters have usually been spent at
the home of one or another of his sons.
He leaves four sons and one daughter,
as follows: Erasmus w. Powell, ranch
man and contractor, living at Hulett,
Wyoming, with his wife and four chill
dren; Mrs Alice Councilman, school
teacher of Minneapolis, where she resides
with her two sons; R. j. Powell, lawyer
of Minneapolis, superintendent of the
Northland Mining company at Nome,
Alaska, and having a wife and child liv-
ing in Minneapolis; Rev. John w. Pow
ell Jr., pastor of the Endion Methodist
church at Duluth, where he dwells with
a wife and two children: and Arthur j.
Powell, living in Mankato with wife
and two children.
Up to last January Rev. Powell, al
though past four score years, seemed
to be in good health. He labored on his
farm in the summer time and not infre
quently preached in the pulpits of other
pastors, who were obliged to be away.
During the past summer, however, he
has been visibly failing. Thursday eve
ming about seven o'clock, he was taken
with dizzy spell, and grew very sick.
He was assisted to bed. In the night he
awoke and called feebly for help. 1t was
found that he had suffered a paralytic
stroke and had lost the power of his
whole right side. He was scarcely able
to speak, though he still retained con-
sciousness A physician was called from
Mankato. He sunk rapidly, however,
and this morning about two o'clock he
quietly passed away.

Sanders and Murray Bound Over
to the Grand Jury.
From Saturdays Daily.
Charles Sanders and Thomas Murray,
the alleged train robbers, were given
their preliminary hearing before Judge
Plymat this afternoon, on the charge of
robbery in the first degree. The hearing
had been set for 10 a. M, but the COM
planning witness, Emil F. Lentz, could
not be found, and adjournment had to
be taken. He was found at GAINESVILLE.
Conductor Ritz was the first witness
sworn by the state, and Brakeman
Trainor, Mr.. Lentz and Deputy Sheriff
Gerlich were later sworn. The defendants
did not take the stand.
A. Fl. Lossow appeared for the de-
PENDANTS. The state was represented by
County Attorney Wilson. The court
room was filled with spectators.
The defendants were bound over to the
grand jury and were committed without
bail. Sanders has grown a beard since
being locked up, perhaps to more effec-
tually conceal his identity.

Prizes in This Competition.

Prizes in This Competition.
Egg-O-See company of Quincy, Ill.
have just awarded the prizes on the spell.
ing contest, the advertisement for which
has been appearing for some time in this
paper The interest in this contest was
remarkable and there were nearly $780,
900 coupons returned to the Egg O. See
people with the different ways of spelling
Egg
The committee that passed on the con-
test and awarded the prizes consisted of
Prof. L. B. McKenna of the National
Business College of Quincy, ILL.,, D. S.
Mccoy and G. S. Painter of the Painter
Tony Jones Advertising Agency of Chi
cago, Ill.
The committee confined itself strictly
to the conditions laid down in the ad-
vertisement. No list was considered un-
less accompanied by coupons and no way
of spelling the way Egg-O-See was al
lowed which did not find precedent in
the usage of the English language.
The committee decided that letter
must not be repeated more than twice
and did not allow such spellings as Egg
Gos-See. The committee did not count
different divisions of syllables as diff
ferent spellings. No syllable was accept
ed as being spelled correctly that could
not be verified by some similar pronun-
citation in standard dictionary. For
instance, Geo." was accepted as 80" the
authority being pronunciation of geo" in
the word "Yeoman", and so on through.
The committee carried out their work
with absolute fairness and the Egg O-See
have maintained their reputa
ton in these contests as always dealing
fairly with the public.
The following is the list of the five
capital prizes:
First-Mrs ]. C. Smith, 1906 Topeka
