east bank of Nicollet island and almost
under the stone arch bridge.

the alarm for the police, but no one
so much as wet his feet in an attempt
to save the crazed girls life, altho the
water was but four feet deep where
she went down: She struggled weakly
sank from sight. One man, employed
by the city on street work, ran to the
rivers edge with stick, which ne
reached out to her, but 1t was too
short and he did not wade out to place
it within her reach.
In few moments the police were
| on the scene with the patrol boat ant
the rescue work began. After shor'
search the body was taken from thu
| water few feet from shore.
| In the crowd of spectators were
many women and several of these
seized with Mysteries, Immediately

tracted their identifcations. The body
was removed to the morgue, where thu

Chairman odells interview yesterday /,
which the latter blamed rasett for the
present condition of things In the Re.
publican party, and the statement OF
Senator Malby threatening impeach-
ment proceedings against Governor Hig-
gins, said:
The talk Of impeachment of the
Governor Is rank nonsense. 1t is much
for Governor in Office who is likely
to be held responsible for party action
to do everything in his power to up.
lift the party in the interests of the
whole people and the entire party than
for Governor out OF office for his own
selfish interests to maintain the pres
ent condition Of things. Governor Hig.
gins belongs to a different school from
former Governor 0den. odell accuses
Governor Higgins of duplicity. Cover.
nor Higgins and President Roosevelt
can well afford, in view of their record
and the influence of their record upon
the history of the party, to accept the
challenge of a comparison of records
thus invited.
The Ex-Governor accuses me of lead. |
ing the party to defeat in 1891, but we
were led to defeat in 1890, and also in |
1892. With reference to the ex-
Governors assault upon myself, while
thank him for his tardy acknowledge
ment that l am collarless, want TO
say that this situation is one away
above petty personal likes or dislikes.
The situation cannot be changed by
epithets. 1t is question of
the integrity of the party life and of u
the uplifting and maintaining of the [
party ideals along the old-fashioned
lines, where the first interests were the
interests of the people and party intr.

After paying Mr.. Wadsworth a tri.
'ute for his intellectual strength and
determination of character, Mr.. Fassett
as follows:
The President is not interested in :
his contest for the sake of any one
nan. He is anxious for reorganiza-
ion OF the party along higher ideals
nd honest purposes. His interest is
urely unselfish and solely for the good
the people and the party.

MINNESOTA RABBITS
RACE AGAINST TRAINS
Jacks Specially Taught Said to Be
Able to Run a Mile
Minute

CROOKSTON, Mimi, April 23.-
Training jackrabbits to race against
train is the latest fad of Norwood
Davies, managing editor of the
Crookston Times. While on a train
last summer he saw a large jackrabbit
running even with the cars and the
idea of training jacks for racing pur-
poses presented itself. Since then he
has been gathering likely and large
specimens and has been devoting
much of his time to training them.
He now has two jackrabbits trained
so they obey his commands fairly well
and every day when he has time he
takes them out and races them
against incoming trains. The speed
Of these animals is remarkable. So
far it has been impossible to accurate
ly time them, but it is claimed that
they can negotiate a mile in a minute
AS the train approaches the animals
become restless and nervous and prance
about much like running horses at the
start of race. Up to the present time
the rabbits have only been trained TO
run when the train is approaching. bur
Davies anticipates racing the Jacks
against horses. bicycles and motor
cars.

GREGORI4N CHRNT
1T ST. DOMIVIC'J

LAszts wonderful Coronation Mass
was sung at st. Dominic Church with
impressive effect. This is the first
heard here. The "credo" is a plain
mended by the present Pope Plus X
While there seemed something archaic
about the chant, it had a ring of the
purely sacred music The voices in
1t sing in unison.
The Coronation Mass was first sung
when Emperor Franz Josef was
crowned King of Hungary in 1867.
The gorgeousness of the composition
makes it particularly appropriate as
an Easter mass.
The offertory. "Victimae, paschan
landes," was composed by DR.. H. j.
Stewart, the organist of st. Dominic.
by Mrs. Benjamin Apple, received the
appreciation it justly deserved.
Rev Father Clancy oflciated as
celebrant, Father Lewis as deacon and
Father Kelly as sub-deacon. The
Easter sermon was preached by the
Rev Father Welch.
The main altar and the two side al
tars were tastefully decorated with
lilies, the flowers of the season. Just
above the main altar a large dimly
lighted electric cross was suspended.
The soloists were c. B. Stone, Mrs.
]. McClowsky, r. Elliot and Mrs B.
Apple. They were assisted by choir
of thirty voices. Mrs. Thomas Nunan
was one of the most well-known of
these. The music was entirely under
the direction of DR.. Stewart, who de-
serves great credit for the successful
rendering Of such a difficult compost

LORD CONTROLLED
THE LIFE OF P4UL

The Easter services at st. Stephen 6
were the most elaborate in many years.
In the memory of the oldest parish
ioner the church never looked prettier.
The chancel and alter were almost hid
den by choice lilies and other beautiful
flowers. The early communion was
largely attended, and the seating ca
pacity of the church was overtaxed al
the IL o'clock service. There was a
larger choir and splendid music. The
Rev. Emmett Bradley, the rector,
preached on the resurrection as a. spir-
itual fact That We may know him
and the power Of his resurrection. y
Phil. $40.
Mr.. Bradley drew a vivid contrast of
the life of Paul, Saul the prosecutor
and Paul the apostle and prisoner of
Jesus Christ, and then went on to show
how Jesus and the resurrection were
the controlling and all-absorbing
power in the life of the apostle. He
spoke of the historic Christ, saying, in
part:
As intelligent men and women, I credit you
with historic faith in Jesus OF Nazareth, and
yet | am bound TO tell you that that is not
enough. For many people with historic faith
ern criticism. The Jesus OF Emerson and
Martineau and Renau may oe a picture Of
It has not seriously affected the hearts and
lives OF the people Humanity hungers for
something more than a beautiful picture Of the
a mere historical fact of twenty centuries ago.
Il loves and fears for the living Christ to-
day. The ethical movements Of one day and
generation do not accept Jesus Christ. When
confronted with the stupendous miracle of the
resurrection they say no.
Far hence he lies
In q low Syrian town;
And his grave with shining eyes,
The Syrian stars look down.
The evidence the world needs to-day is the
personal evidence. II is coming The world
Is gaining a new grip on the fundamental
fact or the resurrection and that fact is the
knowledge Of Jesue and the power OF HIS
resurrection. We must accept that or, as
honest men. reject the gospel altogether. Easter
day and all that IT means forbid the con-
struction Of q purely human Christ. Man Is
proving himself TO be master Of the forces Of
the world, but he has never been able 70
conquer death. Death is the bow OF Ulysses
which he has never been able TO bend. Christ
alone has bent and broken it. 1t has been
snapped in twain by the deathless power OF
the son Of God. We imagine in our blindness
that man is body, and has soul. II we
know the power Of the resurrection shall
reverse that statement Man is soul. and
has body. The grave is an outrage IL we
stop with those words of the commitment SEN
tence. Earth TO earth, ashes 70 ashes, dust To
dust This is not the end. Believing In the
power OF the resurrection we may know that
we live End shall live for ever. Life is con-
inuous.
At the evening service the church
was filed again with the Sunday
school and the various organizations OF
young people, who marched into the
church in full regalia and banners
The choir of the Maria Kip Orphanage
assisted the regular choir, and the rec
tor addressed the children. One of the
largest offerings in many years was
taken up during the day.
