DOOMED MAN SC0FFS
AT RELIGIONS AID

G. D. Crawford, the boxcar murderer
on whom the death watch has been set,
scorns and repels the offered consolation
Of religion, and seems to be awaiting
his doom with an apathetic indifference.
He smiles and jokes with all who pre-
sent themselves at the door of his lonely
cell. .-..
A minister of the gospel asked Jailor
Clausen for permission to talk with the
condemned man. The jailor intimated
that it would be of no use, but when
the minister insisted, a messenger was
sent to inform Crawford Of his visitor.
"Tell him, - replied the prisoner with
laugh, "that I We got no time to talk
to ministers. I'll meet him in the
other place and then we can have a
nice warm. CHAT
Later when Tailor Clausen remon,
strated with Crawford, the prisoner
said:
"Oh, what IS the useq I tried to
pray once. You see what it IS done fol
me, and I'm not going to begin again
now, when it s too late.'
| Crawford spent most of yesterday
cleaning his cell. The sheriff allows nc
one to visit him. "

WHEAT DOING WELL
Rains Delay Seeding Of Other Crops
Too Cool for Growing.


Weather and crop conditions in the
northwest during the week ending May
s are summarized by T. s. Outram. d.
rector of the local weather bureau sta
tion, as follows: >>,.-.s
Rain fell in the state almost daily the
heaviest being in the southwest On the
evening of the I'd, and in the north on
the evening Of the Sd. There was A little
snow in northern counties OH the 4th or
9Th. Hailstorms passed eastward from
Wilkin, Traverse and Big Stone counties
on the, Sd, but without injury to crops.
During most of the week field work was
seriously hindered, or entirely stopped by
the wet weather. The week was cool
one, with the morning temperatures below
| freezing almost daily in northern portions.
High winds on the Sd and 4th caused
damage, at scattered points, to windmills
and light structures. The soil is being
prepared for barley, fax, potatoes and
corn, and barley and flax are being seeded
as rapidly as the seed bed is ready, but
corn will not be planted generally until
| there is warmer weather. tho a few have
already begun planting in southeastern
counties. The early sown spring wheat,
oats and barley are stooling well and look
| healthy, tho growth above ground seems
4 slow; in some places the stand is not very
even. Clover and timothy are in good con-
dition, and alfalfa in Wright county is
six inches high pastures are starting
| slowly. Plums and strawberries are be-
i ginning to bloom, and all trees and shrubs
are ready to break into full leaf as soon
/ as the temperatures are higher.

Mayor D. P. Jones has requested the

position Of city physici an. The mayor
says he had no intention of favoring
any school Of medicine and tina, when
he asked the Hennepin County Medical
society to select three men from among
whom the city physician should be
chosen, it was under the impression that
the society was representative one in
which all schools joined.

protest that he learned that the Henne

organization. He regrets that there is
any feeling over the matter, but is de-

the advice of medical men. In orde1

OF their instruction and usually their
regret that there is to be summer va
cation.

NEW ALLIANCE
M. E. CHURCH BISHOPS MET AT
LOUISVILLE.
Church Divided on Slavery Question
and Recent Banquet Was First Meet
ing of the Church Bishops Since the
Split = Good Feeling Manifested,
Says Bishop I. w. Joyce.

Bishop I. w. Joyce, who returned re-
Gently from the meeting Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal bishops at Louisville,
KY, believes that the spirit of CO.
operation manifested between the bish-
ops of the Methodist Episcopal church
and the Methodist Episcopal church
South is prophecy of the ultimate re-
union of the churches. The division
resulted from a difference of opinion
on slavery in 1914, and until April %.
1905, there had never been meeting
where the bishops united. III
AT the meeting of the bishops of
the Methodist Episcopal church for the
purpose of transacting the business of
the body said Bishop Joyce today,
lone item Of which is the assignment
of the various conferences thruout the
world to the care Of the several bish-
ops, there was at the same time and
In the same city a meeting of the
bishops Of the Methodist Episcopal
church South. They convened in the
interests of their board of church ex
tension. There were present twenty
of the bishops Of the Methodist Epis
| copal church and eight of the Methodist
Episcopal church South.
"The growing spirit of frieendlines:
between these two great bodies was
evidenced on the part Of the bishops

| inviting the bishops of the Methods
Episcopal church South to dine will
them at the Hotel Louisville Frida,
evening, April %. The southern bish

cordiality, and the bishops of the tw,
great denominations sat down to tn
banquet together.

Of the two churches for short speeches
-Four bishops from each denomination
spoke, and the utmost good will an.
brotherly spirit prevailed to the las
moment. Many kind and graciou
things were said.
"The hopefulness of the outlook fo
great victories turnout the world wa
the glad note Of the meeting. This wa
the first meeting of the kind that ha
ever taken place between the bishop
of the two churches since the close O
the civil war or since the south wen

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Those who journey from Chicago to
the twin cities in the automobile en-
durance run Of July will have the time
Of their lives, so far as entertainment
is concerned. Monday, July 10, has
been selected as Minneapolis day, and it
is expected that at least 1900 or 1900
cars will come to the flour city.
A feature of the entertainment of the
visitors on Minneapolis day just leaked
out. They will be the guests, all of
them, of Horace Lowry at the Tonka
Bay hotel, and everything at the big
hostelry on that day will be as free
to the visitors as the water in the lake.
The offer has. been made by Mr..
Lowry to the Minneapolis Automobile
club and has been accepted. A formal
acceptance will be made at the next
meeting, but such an offer was snapped
up by those in authority at the time of
the proffer. The expense Of the enter
tanning can hardly be estimated, but
the host Of the Tonka Bay has said
he would bear it, whatever it was, and
he has further said that he would give
the tourists something to think about
all the way back to their homes.
| Interest in the automobile run is in
creasing. Conservative estimates place
the number to start from Chicago at
|
time to time cars from Iowa, Wiscon
sin and Minnesota. It is expected that
there will be at least 1000 cars in line
when the run reaches the twin cities
and the entertainment committee is
preparing to care for 5000 tourists, fig
uring that each car will average three
occupants. While many will leave be
| fore the run around the lakes and the
Minneapolis entertainment, the loca
club thinks it sure thing that Mr.
Lowry will act as host for 1900 visitor:
at least.
/ So far as known, this will break al
records Of single-handed entertaining
for the northwest, and in automobilins
history. Large parties have been en-
tertained by one man, but the Tonks
eclipse anything of the kind ever at
tenn pied in this country.
