DIANA SPENDS A FEW HOURS
IN JAMESTOWN SUNDAY.

Ulu0uo All VJSC CpLCoIuOAAI sOSSoAAA PsAA1AS"
by small party, arrived on a special
train Sunday at 1880 a. M, and
remained some two hours in the city.
Accompanied by Senator Hansbrough
and by Senator Dolliver of Iowa,
the distinguished visitor walked to
church services at the opera house.
The party occupied box and the
services were opened by the choir
and congregation singing Corona
tion.' Rector Burleson OF Grace
church offered prayer which was fol-
lowed by an anthem beautifully sung
by a special choir composed OF the fol-
lowing persons: Mesdames Knauf,
H. Wolf, Montgomery and A. Dickey
and Messrs. Stone, Schien. NJ. j..
Lamberton and Farnsworth.
The lesson was read, being the two
parallels of sthe mustard seed'' and
s'the leaven,' and was followed by a
solo by Mr.. Schien, Mr.. Miller ac-
companiest.
The sermon, the text OF which was
'sThy Kingdom Come, twas delivered
by Rev. Dudley Of Fargo and was a
pleasing address.
At the close of the sermon the con-
gregat,on joined with the choir in
sjnigng the national anthem and
benediction was pronounced by Rec
tor Burleson.
The special train left shortly after
the services and no stop of any
moment was made until the train
reached Montana.
Senator Hansbrough accompanied
the party as far west as Dickinson
and returned today. Alfred Dickey
also accompanied the party as far as
Bismarck. The senator was we'll
pleased with his first visit in the
metropolis OF the Jim, and the rest
from continuous travelling was well
come1 by the entire party. There
were two press representatives on
board, and the train was a light one
consisting OF pallor car. and sleeper.
diner and coach.
1t was wished by many that the
senator's arrival could have been on
week day, where public meeting
could have been held and the politi'
cal issues of the day discussed.
The St. Paul Globe correspondent
has the following about Senator Fair
banks trip across North Dakota last
Sunday: Senator Fairbanks ano
party spent the day crossing the state
of North Dakota. They were joine {
at st. Paul by Senator Hansbrough,
of this state, and leaving that city
on the Northern Pacific at midnight
they reached Fargo at 7 O'Clock.
The run from that point to James
town across the marveously fertile
valley OF the Red river was made
rapidly and almost without step.
At Jamestown the train was held
for two hours in order to afford the
vice presidential candidate and his
friends an opportunity to attend
church.
A special religious service was helc
at the opera house. which was at
tended by Senators Fairbanks. Dolli'
yer and Hansbrough, who sat to.
gether in private box.
The sermon was preached by DR.. J
F. Dudley, Congregationalist min
lister from Fargo, who found his text
in Matthew 6-l0 and took for his sub
ject .The Kingdom Of God'' which
he said is the light Of God in man.
The sermon was devoid of political
reference, unless the justification ol
the acquisition Of the Philippines as
means of establishing the kingdom
of God in those islands, may be
characterized as political.
DR. Dudley said that act had made
missionary society Of Uncle San
and his people. At Dawson, the great
duck hunting center of this state
there was brief stop to allow Sena
tor Hansbrough and friends to 81
the larder of the dining car with can
vas backs and teals. At Bismarck
an hour was spent in driving about
the city and in visit to Fort Lin
coin.
Probably the most interesting ex.
perience of the twenty-four hour!
was had at Medora. in the extrem
western portion of the state, which
twenty years ago was for two years
the home of President Roosevelt. He
was engaged there in the cattle busi
ness and left many friends there wht
were at the railroad siding to meet
the president IS running mate and NJ!
companions when the train drew in.
They gave the vice presidential
candidate a characteristic welcome
and he expressed great pleasure ovel
