Engineer Randolph Says Panama Wa

Before Year 1915.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Mr. Isham
Randolph, one of the members of the
board of consulting engineers for the
Panama canal, has written letter to
Zina R. Carter, president of the SAM
tary district of Chicago. in winch he
discusses canal conditions. The
isthmian canal commission made the
letter public Tuesday. Mr.. Randolph
says he expects the canal to be COM
pleted before 1915. The work of prep
aration he says is going on speedily,
and when the equipment is on hand
and the organization perfected at least
"a 900 men will be required on the ca
nal. Much of the present labor is
worthless because the demand is larg-
er than the supply. The application
Of the eight-hour system to the canal
he regards as lamentable mistake
and will add about 25 per cent. to the
cost of labor. Mr.. Randolph says the
whole line is "cluttered up with aban-
doned French machinery" which cost
$30,000,000 and is now valueless. He
declares that any statements foreshad-
owing the report of the consulting en-
gineers ''can be set down as the manu-
facture of newsmonger."

Edward j. Cannon Appointed Division
Attorney for Northern Pacific.

Edward j. Cannon, we'll known
attorney of st. Paul, has been appointed
division counsel of the Northern Pacific
road, with headquarters at Spokane,
WASH, and will assume his new duties
Jan. 1st.
1t is understood that the post carries
with it salary of s., 500 per annum.
Mr.. Cannon, although young man,
has made big strides in his profession
and during the past few years has built
up very lucrative practice.
During the last session of the legis-
lature, as the attorney of some of the
manufacturing interests of the state, he
presented the views of that side before
the railroad committees on the recipro-
cal demurrage and other pending
measures. So well did he acquit him
self that he attracted the notice of the
officials of the roads interested in that
litigation, and undoubtedly the honor
now conferred upon him comes from
the talent he displayed at that time,
coupled with his success in other impor-
tant matters before the district and
supreme courts. Paul Dispatch.

Heavy Excess in Government Expen-

Of the United States in his annual re-
port for the fiscal year 1905 says:

For the past two years the eXpen-
ditures of the government have been
in excess of the revenues to the aggre.

the demands upon the treasury for

Referring to the movement of the
crops, the report says that since jan
uary, 1900, this movement has aver
aged about $27 100000 annually, and in
this connection action by congress to
enlarge the volume of small notes is
recommended in view of the heavy de-
mand for them, which the treasury has
not at all times been able to meet.

Sketch Of His Life.
Ex-Congressman Simpson was born
in New Brunswick, on March 81, 1872
AT Ia he began life as sailor, and
during his % years following that pur-
suit commanded many large vessels on
the Great Lakes. In the civil war he
served in the Twelfth Illinois infantry.
He came to Kansas in 1878. Original
ly, he was a republican, but later be-
came greenbacker and populist. He
was a member of congress from 1891
to 1895 and from 1897 to 1899, being
nominated the last time by both the
democrats and populists. After he left
congress he moved to Roswell, N. NJ,
where he engaged up to the time of
his death in stock farming. He returned
to Kansas month ago and entered
local hospital for treatment.
His condition became hopeless ten
days ago, and since then the patient
kept alive principally by sheer force
of will. His wife and son were at the
bedside at the time of death.
Most Unique of Characters.
Washington, Oct 24.-"The sage of
Medicine Lodge" as Jerry Simpson
was called, was in many respects one
OF the most unique characters which
adorns the history of congress. He was
swept into the Fifty-second congress
by wave of Kansas populism, charged
with the task of reforming the whole
government and lying down the only
advance information his colleagues hat
OF his personality-that he wore nc
socks. The latter task he succeeded il
accomplishing in fact, although hi
never quite lost the title, "Socl1less
Jerry" His legislative accomplish
ment consisted in turning popular
eastern sentiment regarding populism
from scorning ridicule to respectful
consideration during his service of six
years in the Fifty-second, Fifty-third
and Fifty-ffth congresses, when he
was swept out by another Kansas
wave. There was not question OF
congressional action during that time
on which Jerry Simpson did not think

Annual Conference of the American
Sunday School Union.

The annual conference of the mission.
aries of the Northwestern District of the
American Sunday School Union met in
Minneapolis, Mimi, Tuesday, Oct. 18TH
and continued in session until Sunday,
Oct. 18th. Nearly the entire force of
missionaries from nine different states
with MISUNDERSTANDING were present.
Many of them brought their wives and
daughters. Besides these, there were
present the General Superintendent of
the Northwest District, and the General
Superintendent of the New England
and the Southwest District, Recording
secretary of the national society from
Philadelphia, and the chairman of the
Missionary committee, besides several
others. The presence and addresses of
these men, some of whom have grown
gray in the service of the society, were
help and an inspiration to all who
heard them.
The conference held its day sessions
in the Y. M. G. A. building and the eve
ming sessions in the various churches of
the city. At the opening meeting Rev.
L. H. Hallock, D. D., and John E. Bell
gave addresses of welcome and the re-
ponse was made by Mr.. Clarkson Cloth
ier of Philadelphia Each evening there
was an address given by some one of
the prominent workers of thesociety fol-
lowed by several short talks on the ex
perience of missionaries. These exper-
ences were sometimes ludicrous, often
sad; but they showed the conditions of
the different fields found by the Sunday
school missionary whose business it is
to look upon waste places.
At the day sessions there were many
serious earnest discussions concerning
the needs of the various fields and the
ways to better carry on the work. Ev-
cry day there was meeting of the mis-.
sionaries from each state with their
superintendent to consider their own
special territory.
The most enjoyable feature of each
morning session was the Bible lecture
on the book of Hebrews Ivy Rev. A.
Frost, D. D., of Minneapolis. These
lectures showed deep thought and care,
full study. The explanations were SO
clear that the hard parts of that wonder
full letter to the Jewish Christians was
made plain and each one who heard
them was inspired to a greater faith
and love in their Master.
Each afternoon the conference was
addressed by some one of the prominent
pastors of the city such as Rev. w. B.
Riley, d. D Rev. Stanley B. Roberts
D. D., and Rev. L. T. Guild, Phi. D,
Saturday afternoon, all had the pleasure
of hearing the lecture of Rev. Joseph
Wells, State Superintendent of Iowa
on his trip to Jerusalem to attend the
Sunday School Convention in 1904.
After the last address mentioned, the
missionaries started out in specially
chartered car to see some Of the
interesting places in the beautiful city
of Minneapolis; Minnehaha Falls and
Fl. Smelling were two of the points
visited. 1t was very pleasant trip.
