The Home Mission Society
met at the Parsonage on August
IA. The meeting was opened
with prayer by the president.
Meekness was the subject of the
lesson which was made very in
teresting by an earnest talk from
the leader, Mrs. Kennedy. Slips
were read by each member
present, these slips being quo
tati0ns on meekness. An in
teresting paper was then read on
the supply department of the
society
The president proposed that

This was unanimously agreed to
and Mrs. Kennedy was appointed

Some Things the Boys and Girls
Should Know.
(Communication.)

Should Know.
(Communication.)
In an article in the Times
Democrat of August %, mention
is made of the fight that Texas
authorities are making against
all insects, that Texas people are
at enmity with the whole ento-
mological family. especially on
account of the damage the boil
weevil has caused in that State.
It is stated that destructive in
sects are increasing everywhere
faster than man, with all his
ingenuity, can destroy them.
The cause given is the wholesale
slaughter Of the best friends the
farmers have-the birds. This
Southland of ours is the best
place in the United States for
the breeding of both birds and
insects. the former the natural
and only effective enemy of the
latter. When insects multiply
rapidly the number Of birds soon
increases, and vice versa. But
if man through his inordinate
desire for sport, and woman by
her passion for plumed hats
cause the killing of millions Of
these Iriends each year. the
farmer cannot hope for bountiful
crops nor merchants for pros
perDus business establishments.
These facts should come be-
fore the whole people in q
serious business-lke way; before
the General Assemblies and con-
gress as problem of State and
national importance. These
ought to be taught mot told) the
boys and girls in every grade in
all the schools Of America, more
especially in the schools Of the
South where 80 little has been
done and where the possibilities
are now greatest.
Do teachers and parents love
birds and count them as their
friends? Do the children, the
hope of the future, know and
love the birds? z.

Weather Conditions.

A storm of considerable intensity
has developed in the lower Mississippi
valley, causing unsettled weather in
the whole Mississippi valley, the up
per lake region and the southeastern
states, with rain falling this morning
at points as far north as southern Wis
consin and northern Illinois, and east
ward to the south Atlantic coast. The
rains during. the past twenty-four

the territory west of the Mississippi
valley, except in California, Oregon
and Washington. the weather is clear.

GRAVE DANGER AVOIDED
CLOGGED INTAKE AT CAMDEN
PUMPING STATION DISCOVERED
IN NICK OF TIME.

When an examination was made at
crib of the Camden place pumping sta
tion preparatory to starting the pumps
today, it was found that the intake was
SO choked with silt and sand that no
water was obtainable. It had been in
tended to shut down the Northeast sta
ton today in order to make some minor
repairs about the forebay in the river
and the connections between the station
and the river, but this work will be de-
layed few days. It will be necessary
to send down diver to clean out the
intake.
It was extremely fortunate that the
condition was discovered when it was.
Had the Northeast station been put out
OF commission for one cause or another
and it had been necessary to start the
Camden emergency station across the
river, the city would have been in a
serious situation, with one station out of
the business and the other unable to
get any water.
The Camden pumps have not been in
operation tor many months. The en-
tire plant has been kept up, however,
and every precaution taken 50 that the
pumps could be started on short notice,
NO one expected any danger from the
intake. It appears, however, that the
high water has carried down an unusual
quantity Of sand and silt which was
amounts to fill the pipe completely.
This will not happen again and hence
1t is fortunate that it happened now for
It has taught lesson. Hereafter the
camden place pumps will be operated
two or three days in each month in or.
der to test the whole works and to keen
the intake pipe clear.

PACKAGES GO ASTRAY
Pile Of Christmas Presents Remain at
Postoffice Undelivered.

While somewhere in Minneapolis
there are people who wonder why no
Christmas present has come from home
or why the son Eout west has not
remembered them at the holiday sea-
son, between fifty and seventy five
Christmas parcels are awaiting claim
ants at the general delivery window
of the postoffice. s~-
Defective addresses are holding up
most of these, packages, but there are
others which have been SO battered in
the mailsacks that the address is illegi
BILE. Every effort has been made by
the carriers to find the persons for
whom these packages are intended and
deliveries have been mado in apparent
ly hopeless cases. Those which are
now held at the office are the impossi-
bilities and unless a claimant appears
at the window, they will eventually go
to the dead-letter office
Some outgoing mail is being held
for insufficient postage, but it is fast
disappearing. as the addresses are
sending in the shortage in response to
notices from the office. Christmas post
cards have been the chief item in this
class Of mail. People who are unac-
customel to any but the raady-stalnped
card seem to feel that they have done
all which is required of them when
they have addressed and mailed the
Christmas cards.

Evening,
WOMAN HANGED
IN EARLY DAYS
MRS. BILANsKY FIRST WHITE
PERSON EXECUTED IN STATE.
No Other Case Known In Minnesota
History-The Law Permits a Re-
prieve for Special Reason Existing
in Brennan Case, but Doesn't Remit
the Penalty.

Since the opening Of the Brennan
trial the question has been raised
whether woman was ever executed
in Minnesota. @,.l
The records of the State Historical
society show that the first white per-
son hanged in the state was Mrs. Anne
Evards Bilansky, who was executed in
der of her husband, Stanislaus Bilan-
sky. The husband died from poisoning
March IL, 1859, and Mrs. Bilansky was
convicted Of the crime. So far as
known, no woman has been executed
in Minnesota since that time.
There is a special provision Of the
law covering the case of Mrs. Bren-
nan. Section 7407 Of the General Stat
utes OF 1894 provides as follows:
elf any female convict who is I'M
der sentence of death shall be quick
with child, the governor shall forbear
to issue warrant for the execution,
or if such warrant has been issued, the
execution thereof shall be respited, I'M
til it appears to the satisfaction of the
governor that such female is no longer
quick with child.''
The law creating the state board of
pardons was passed in 1897, but it con-
opinion of the attorney generals de-
partment the section quoted is still in
force. The issuance of the warrant is
still in the governor hands. The
board of pardons law provides, how
ever, that a reprieve may be granted
IN any case by any member of the
board until the entire board can be
called in. session, and such reprieve
must be based on an application. In
the opinion given to T h journal
today, the attorney generals depart.
ment takes the position that an appli
cation should be made to the governo,
in any case, and that if called on IA
grant a reprieve he should do so az

ARM0RY IS TIED UP:
HOUGHTON CONDEMNS

Building Inspector James G.. Hough-
ton has condemned all the interior con-
crete work at the new armory and work
on the building has virtually ceased I'M
til the armory board can take action.
Mayor Jones is out of the city for a
day or two, and his absence will delay
the meeting Of the board. -.
No further flaws were discovered to-
day, but the examination has not been
completed and the building inspector is
confident that other footings will be
found unsafe. After trying to find
William Porten, the contractor, for sew
eral days, Mr.. Houghton sent First AS
sistant Andrew Lundquist to st. Paul
TO serve a notice that the work had
been condemned and that work could
not be. continued until the condemned
work had been replaced by material
satisfactory to the inspector.
It is not certain that Mr.. Porten will
continue with his contract. He has
not been about the place for several
days and his son, who is member Of
the firm has not been around often.
a few days ago the armory board
called upon the Porten company to
correct certain work which appeared
to be faulty. There was no refusal on
the part Of any member of the com.
pany to comply with the instructions,
but the work was not done and the
architect thereupon secured John Wun-
der for the work. Wunder replaced the
footing under the first column, which
was weak, and probably will replace
two other footings which are con-
demned, and as many more as the
building inspector deems necessary.
With the exception of making safe
the work which is absolutely danger
Gus, the entire matter is in suspense.
Mr.. Porten has not indicated his in
tentions and the arnnory board has not
taken any action.
It should not be assumed that all the
interior concrete work must be torn
out, as the notice Of condemnation
states that all construction which on
careful examination or test is found
to be up to specifications may be re-
tanned. The chances are that most Of
the work is all right, but there is much
evidence that the concrete crew was
composed either Of inexperienced OF
slipshod workmen, and hence it is in
advisable to permit any further work
until everything is above suspicion.
