FANNY CROSBY.

There still lives at Bridgeport, Con-
necticut, at ripe age, a lady who has
brought JOY into hundreds of homes
throughout the English-speaking world.
All classes of people sing Miss Crosby's
secular and sacred songs. The children
in the public schools use There's
Music in the Air." their parents know
and love Hazel Dell, - "Rosalie, the
Prairie Flower" and others, which
were immensely popular twenty five
years ago. But Fanny Crosby is best
known by her hymns, such as RESCUE
the Perishing," 81 am Thine, o
Lord, " Nearer the Cross, pass Me
Not, o Gentle Saviour, BLESSED
Assurance" and Some Day the Silver
Chord will Break. The first of her
hymns was written in 1864, and since
that date she has composed over eight
thousand, under various mons de
plume.
The gifted singer has been blind
since she was six years old, but
through marvellous difficulties has
overcome great obstacles. For twenty
three years she was pupil and teacher
in the New York Institution for the
Blind. There she met and knew Henry
Clay, General Scott, James X. Polk,
Governor Seward, and ex-President
Cleveland, who has been her firm
friend for fifty years. Miss Crosby
has known many of the greatest
musical and literary men and women,
including all the famous composers of
sacred music. Recently she has writ
ten up the entire story of her life into
an autobiography, which promises to
be widely read when it is published.
Miss Crosby has a wonderful mem
DRY. She composes an entire hymn be.
fore having any of ID written down ON
paper. Once she wrote forty songs be-
fore having any of them recorded; and
at the end she could recall every one
Of them.
On March 26 the churches of
America propose to build Miss Crosby
monument of gratitude, which will
be more enduring than any marble
shaft. They propose to honor her life
work while she still lives and is able
to appreciate the kind thought of those
who sing and love her songs. Humid
reds of churches are preparing special
programs of song to use for that pur-
pose; and a unique feature of the plan
is a large gift of honor as a testim onial
to Miss Crosby's public service. They
thus hope to recognize in a fitting
manner her eighty-tifth birthday.

TAR AND FEATHER PREACHER.


Goldendale. March 13.-Dr. Kay
wood. said to formerly have been a
dentist at Portland Ore. now a holy
roller" preacher who has been holding
meetings at the Free Methodist
church, was the recipient of a liberal
coat Of tar and feathers Sunday even
ing. Just after services had COM
menced a crowd of about 10 young
men entered tn little church on Broad
way and took the minister out of the
nulnlt and hustled him out into the
street. where they we're met by about
40 more men.
The preacher was taken to the
bridge on the Little Klickitat river. BY
this time about 100 men and boys had
gathered there. The preacher was
stripped to the waist and several cans
of tar was poured over his shoulders
and back His bald head was also
coated and the tar was daubed on his
face. Several sacks Of feathers were
then plastered over him. He was told
that if he did not leave town before 10
o'clock Monday morning he would be
| lynched.
The preacher went through the or.
deal and did not speak until the job
was through with when he said:
Boys, will you allow me to talk to
you?"
lie was promptly told to shut up or
he would be submerged in the icy wa
tiers of the Kllckitat.
The affair has caused great excite
ment in Goldendale. The animosity to-
ward the preacher is caused by the al
legged fact that several women who
have been attending his services are
on the verge Of insanity caused by the
preachers wild celebrations, and 1t is
also charged that he has attacked
many prominent people from his pull
pit. On the other hand. his meetings
have been attended by many promi
nent people.
Rev Mr.. Haywood. on being inter
viewed, said that he had no statement
to make regarding the affair, and that
he intended to leave Goldendale to
morrow to conduct meetings else
where.

A WEEK OF RUSSIAN DISASTER.
Kuropatkin's Entire Army Hikes for
Hardin.

Hardin.
The past week has been one Of re-
peated reverses for the Russians in
Manchuria. II closed with a crushing
defeat and the retirement Of Kuropat-
kin's entire army. or as much Of it as
could get away, to Tie Pass.
The long battle to the north Of Muk-
den has been one of the most sangui-
nary in history. 1t is impossible as
yet to approximate the casualties. but
according to all accounts the total will
aggregate something never before
known in modern engagements.
1t is impossible to determine how
many Russians have been cut of. but
it appears that a considerable portion
of the Russian army has succeeded in
D reaching Tie Pass, and the defense of
the rear guard has been sufficiently
stubborn to permit of a withdrawal
that is remarkably successful under
the circumstances.
Although Tie Pass was fortified last
fall, it is by no means certain that
the Russians can hold this new posi-
ton for any great length of time. They
will at present enjoy an advantage
for the japanese, after 10 days unin-
terrupted fighting and long marches
must be in a condition of exhaustion
that will prevent an immediate effort
to dislodge Kuropatkin from his new
stronghold
But the Russians are in badly shat
tered condition, and if Oyama is able
to repeat his thanking movements il
would not create surprise if the order
was once more given to fall back and
an orderly retirement was effected to
ward Hirbin.

Cleveland. Ohio.-Mrs. Cassie L.
Chadwick was Saturday found guilty of
conspiracy to violate the United States
banking laws by conspiring to procure
the certiication of checks on a nation
al bank when there were no funds in
the bank to her credit. She was found
guilty on every count of the Indictment
upon which the jury was at liberty to
judge her, seven in all.
The indictment contained 16 counts.
Two of these were ruled out during
the trial by Judge Taylor, and of the
remaining IA one half charged her with
securing the certifcation of checks
without having the proper entries
made on the books of the bank,
Judge Taylor in his charge directed
the jury to disregard these counts and
consider only the remaining seven.
which related to.the certifcation with
no funds on deposit. On all of these
the jury found against her.
According to the law she can be
fined on each count not more than S1O.-
600 or imprisonment for more than
two years on each count.

tence. your honor" said District Attor-
ney Sullivan.

for the argument on the motion for a

that time"
THAT is satisfactory to the govern
emnt," said Mr. Sullivan.

MANY REQUIREMENTS
TO INSURE SUCCESS
Soil, Methods, Transportation,
Markets, Good Water, Cheap
Fuel Are All Necessary.

Analysis Of soil. studies Of the meth
crops Of certain seasons do not deter
mine whether a given locality is or is
not adapted to profitable agricultural
pursuits. The best evidence and final
proof is seldom determined by the new
conditions of the soil.
Transportation, market, available wa
ter supply and cheap and abundant fuel
enter largely into the question Of en-.

farming. Northern Minnesota meets
every requirement that the most ex-
acting prospective farmer looking for a
new field for. his labor could demand.
Many questions present themselves to
the immigrating farmer having fam

the main ones to be considered are

tility Of the soil, it is beyond a ques-
tion one Of the very best to be found
anywhere on this continent. Nowhere
else do tame grasses grow more lux
uriant than here, every kind of grain
grows to perfection in abundance and
root crops of nearly every variety and
wonderful yield: The great forests in
many sections insure moderate priced
lumber for all purposes, as as well as
lumber standing on this land brings
a far greater price when sold then you
paid for the land. Many farmers lose
the best part Of the value of their
crops on account Of the poor market
surrounding them, or what is equally
bad, distant one, for in the latter
case the railroads get often the largest
share Of the profits. The .wideaWake
young man who seeks to make a future

above and will act accordingly. There
is no place on this continent where the
intending farmer with small means can
get a better start than right here at
the head Of the great lakes. Duluth,
with it's 10000 people, and $4,000 more
towns in the country afford the very
best Of markets without paying any
freight at all. Owing to the compare
tive newness Of the county, farming
has not developed as fast as conditions
demand, and it is therefore, the very
best time to get start and benefit by
profitable and increasing market. At
the present time nine-tenths Of all the
ity has to be shipped here, and in many
instances the freight costs nearly as
much as the articles sold. Homegrown
produce from which you do not have
| to deduct shipping expenses, will give
you, therefore, a much better return
for your labor. It seems unnecessary
to remark that all people prefer fresh
