CITY ELECTION.

At an informal meeting of citizens
Monday morning proposition to
put the names of no-license candi-
dates for mayor and for the alder
men in each ward was seriously
considered, but the sober second
thought resulted in withdrawing
all but the candidate for alderman
in the second ward, Frank F. Ham
mer, who was put forward for his
anti-saloon principles by his friends
yesterday, at the eleventh hour.
Those favorable to his candidacy
filled in the blank on the ticket, as
it was too late to put a candidate in
the field in any other way. The
preliminary steps to this action
were taken the evening previous
at the tabernacle. The meeting de-
veloped the fact that church men,
bers are in a mood to line up against
licensing saloons, and until they
can accomplish that end, will or
ganize for the enforcement of all
laws designed to limit the traffic.
A citizens league has been organ
lied for this purpose.

bottomless pit, in the speaker S
opinion. The statutes were cited
to show that such parties were
guilty of violating the law of the
state as we'll as the moral law, the
playing for prizes being gambling
pure and simple as much as play
ing for stack of gold pieces in a
gambling den.
The confession of gambler, that
his first steps were taken in a Pres
byterian family under the tutelage
of a young lady reminded the evan
gelist of a gospel incident. Peter
in the garden was courageous to
rashness and cut off an ear of the
high priests servant, but little
while afterward, when a kinky-
haired girl asked himif he belonged
to that gang, Peter petered out. =
He had more respect for the bum
playing cards in the back of a sa-
loon than for the woman in gilded
parlor encouraging young man
to play cards, because the latter
was more dangerous to society.
Mr.. Sunday wanted it distinctly
understood that he believed in
wholesome amusements such as
base ball, golf, chess, checkers
and other games. Cards were the
tools of the gambler, and not of the
Christian. Where the Bible and
the deck of cards were found in
the same home, one of them might
as well be thrown out first as last.
The fireworks began when the
evangelist started in on dancing.
When he had finished the social
dance was left without a leg to
stand on, either within the church
or without. The evangelist at
tackled it as a terrible menace to
society, on the ground that it's de-
voices we're exposed to temptation
by the very nature of the immodest
mix-up of the sexes. The position
of the Catholic and Episcopal
churches, as well as other evangel-
ical churches, as stated by the bish-
ops and other dignitaries, was quot
ed from many sources condemning
the modern social dance in no un-

certain terms. Some hot shots were
fired into church members who
countenanced or encouraged dane
ing, with special reprobation for
dancing clergymen and school
teachers, and a side roast for school
boards who employed dancing and
card playing school teachers.
At the conclusion Mr.. Sunday
requested all clergymen and church
officials to take the platform and
shake hands with all the people in
the congregation who were willing
to take stand against card playing
and dancing. AS might be expect
ed, only part of the immense
throng accepted the invitation, but
from expressions heard during the
week, a strong public sentiment
against card and dancing parties,
especially on the part of the church
members, resulted from Sunday S
lecture. Some of the devotees and
defenders of these amusements,
however, are mad clear through
over Sundays accusations.
Wednesday night Evangelist Sun
day, after whole day off for recup-
Grafton owing to the stormy night
of the night before, was at his best.
Ministers and laymen alike were
delighted with the luminous SIM
plicity of his talk along the line of
Christian progress by Christian
activities. Zone stepat time. was
the key note, one of the illustrations
used being that of man going
out into the night with lantern.
The lanterns rays lighted the way
only short distance, but when the
wayfarer carried his lantern in
front of him it moved with his own
progress and lighted the way
wherever he went. This was only
one of many apt illustrations used.
Thursday night the evangelist
went into the subject of hell in his
usual emphatic fashion, and left no
doubt in the minds of his listeners
about his position on the future
punishment of the unsayed. We
have heard little in the way of dry
theology at the tabernacle, but the
sermons of Thursday and Sunday

of fair-minded, representative men.
The fact that juror has heard and
read about the case is not taken as
indicative of bias, and if he does
not appear to be bigoted be is
passed on to the state.
This puzzled the prosecution.
Most of the rumors and printed re-
ports have been against DR.. Koch,
and have had tendency to create
prejudice against him. When a
juryman who has heard and read
these reports and appears liable to
be biased is passed by the defense,
it puzzles the state.

Sunday was busy day at the
tabernacle. The morning sermon
| was an eloquent exhortation tt
Christians to give an account fol
the faith that was in them, The
evangelist touched on his own per.
sonal experience during the II
years since his conversion, and
gave most helpful talk to converts
and Christian workers of all de-
grees. At this service, Mr.. Gold
made statement of the financial
situation. showing that all current
expenses had been provided for,
with margin of two or three hun
dred dollars left, which it is pro-
posed to divide equally between
the Catholic, Episcopal, Christian,
Methodist and Presbyterian church
es. He also announced that vol
untary Offering would be called for
next Sunday for the evangelist, and
expressed the belief that the offer
ing would be commensurate with
the benefits conferred on this COM
munity. Mr.. Gold believed that
the meetings of Mr.. Sunday were
the best thing that ever came to
Redwood Falls, which sentiment
was loudly applauded.
The mems meeting Sunday after
noon was ord-breaker, with an
attendance of fully one thousand
men. Before opening up with his
sermon Mr.. Sunday asked the ush-
ers to take up collection for the
Salvation Army, as had been pre-
viously announced. The plates
we're passed and bombarded with a
rain OF silver, amounting to over
$Sl when counted. At the wom-
an S meeting at the Methodist
church which was addressed by
Mrs. Sunday, a $40 collection was
taken the same afternoon, giving
the army a well-deserved New
Years gift of over 800 in all.
The sermon was along similar
lines with that of the Sunday be-
fore. The text, Rejoice, young

paper and claims to express the

Professor Tomizu points to the
enormous production of all kinds

which makes it necessary for
that country to seek new markets
in all parts of the world, but es-
pecially in the Orient, and warns
his country to prepare for the
gigantic struggle with America
over the supremacy in the Pacific,
which he says, is inevitable. The

win the cars friendship with a
view of future Russo-Japanese
