A ROTTEN STATE OF AFFAIRS.

The evidence so far brought out by
the legislative committee investigat-
ing the lecetion frauds in Denver. re-
veals rotten state OF AFFAIRS. Every
effort has been made by the Demo-
cratic leaders and attorneys to cover
the dirty work of last fall No doubt
the handwriting experts made some
mistakes but the fact remains Just
the same thatsran fraud was indulg-
ed in. The fact has been brought out
by several witnesses that they have
been coached by attorneys what to
say and that their statements were pre-
pared by the aforesaid attorneys for
the purpose of covering up the fraud
In this connection We take the fol.

The fighting at Heikoutai and along
the Hun river from the 25th to the
18th Of January proves to have been
one of the great battles of the war. A
hundred thousand men were in action
on the Russian side and doubtless at
est that many on the Japanese side.
Significant of the vasiness of these
later operations of the war is the fact
that the Russian casualties-some 49,
"0o-alone outnumbering the entire
army Russia had engaged at the bat
tie Of the Yalu. The victory was en-
PRACTICALLY with the japanese General
kuropatkin's plan. intrusted 10 Gener-
al Grippenberg for execution, was to
turn the Japanese left flank. In the
earlier stages of the war the Russians
had apparently never heard or i'm
aglned that such a thing as flank
ing operation was possible Now hav-
ing by bitter experience learned what
II is to be outfianked, they seem to
think that it is as simple to crumple
up one wing of the compactly posted
army of 100000 men as 1t would be
TO treat similarly single division of
the enemy Once more tney are wiser.
Far more unfortunate for Russia, how
ever. than the mere failure to win a
success on the Hun is the fact that the
battle has proved conclusiyely that
the new army organization from whicn
SO much was hoped is not efficient.

Parsonage Property Sold.

At thae time the parsonage property
was in central location, occupying the
site on which is now located the Pro
testant Episcopal church, and the ten-
ements and residences to the rear there
Of on the right hand side Of Spaulding
street. Owing to the size of the lot and
It's desirable location its possession was
wished By several parties. And, as the
parsonage itself was in need of repairs,
the society decided to sell the same. if
suitable amount could be secured in
return. After extended negotiations,
for it is always slower for a corporation
to do business than for a single indi,
vidual, it was voted to authorize the
stewards to convey by deed TO DIR. G.

land connected Herewith on the south

be held for reinyestment in parsonage

An unhappy contrOve 81.

Dnring the pastorate of Mr.. Beernan
the Sunday -sehoo, as has been stated,
grew with remarkable strides. This
was a source Of qualification to all con-
cerned, and its size augured most hope
fully for the future of the society. Tn
fortunately, however, serious trouble
arose over matters connected with the
control of the sc-.ool, these matters
coming to their first crisis in the organ
ization of the Sunday-school in a man
ner peculiar to this denomination, and
heretofore the school had been conduct
ed along the lines Of most other church,
es, all of the business being done in
open school, instead Of by select NUM-
Der duly elected according to the law Of
the church. This was a radical change,
and was not affected without a good
deal of feeling, most of which came to
head in the succeeding passionate.
Many New Members Added,
tn spite Of all difficulties there was
more or less Of revival during Mr. Bee
mans pastorate, and 50 were received
on probation. OF these 40, or IS per
cent. were either received into full
membership or else given letters else
where. Many letters were received and
lil0 additions were made to the member
lship in full during Mr.. Beeman's pas
torate, and he left the society with $50
members and practitioners on its ros-
ter. During this pastorate the Ep-
worth League was organized and put
