Mr.. .Beadles said that not all of the
inspired history was in the bible. The
life Of Lincoln and all great peoples
was inspired. God no more called the
prophets of old to chosen work than
Lincoln was called to free the slaves
and to save the government of the peo-
pie from perishing from the earth.
Lincoln was plain man of the peo-
pie. a product of the fields and the
woods. 1t is the exception and not the
rule that men OF genins come from the
schools Gods great school is the
field, the open book of nature The
speaker declared that brick pavements
were not adapted to the production Of
men God never reaches over picket
fence and takes dude out of a ham
mock when he wants man., He goes
out into the fields and selects son
of the common people.
The colleges do not turn out all the
the scholars. However, the speaker
did not wish to be understood as de-
crying the colleges or the schools
Men like Lincoln became great be-
cause they did not have any advan-
tages Of education, but in spite of such
handicap
Rev. Beadles paid the highest pos
sible tribute to Lincoln as leader
Of men, a statesman and a Christian
man. His power OF literary expression
was remarkable. He classed him
among the greatest orators of all time.
He was greater than Demosthenes,
Cicero and the peer of any orator of
modern times. His Gettysburg speech
was the peer of any literature known
to the world. 1t is worthy of place
alongside Of the 23d Psalm, the beati-
tudes and the Lords prayer.

Had q Strenuous Time.

One of the prominent farmers of this
vicinity who has his winter residence
in this city thought that he would get
a load OF hay for his horses yesterday.
Accordingly he departed for the coun-
try and to his farm and loaded large
quantity of the dried fodder on the
hayrack. Before he had gotten half
way into town with his load he had a
bad runaway which tipped the rack
over and scattered the hay all the
way between here and Carthage juno
ton. The farmer is now minus a large
load of hay and rack to carry it in
and promises never to do Sunday labor
again.

WOULD WORK SCHEME.
Congressman Stevenson Sees New
Public Building For CrOOkston.

Elias STEVENSON, of Crookston, re-
ceived a telegram from his brother,
Congressman Halvo, STEVENSON at
Washington, instructing him to have
all the government officials located in
this city partake in a scheme that may
help along with the proposed govern
ment building that is to be located
here.
Each official is to write Congress-
man Stevenson on their official paper
asking that they be allowed office
room in the proposed building and
the amount of space that they would
require for the same. The matter will
then be taken up ny Congressman
Stevenson before the committee that
has charge of that work and will use
it to advantage in rushing the build
ing along.
There are located in this city the
referee in bankruptcy, deputy revenue
collector, U. S. commissioner and
postmaster who will make reply to
the telegram and there is little doubt
but that there will be something ma
terializing as result of the move
ment.

Basket Rail- Games.

On Saturday night two fiercely con-
tested basket ball games were pulled
OF at the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium. In
the preliminary game the Mayville
normal school girls defeated the Y.
w. G. A. team by score of 10 to 6.
The work of both teams was of
high order, but with size, strength and
experience against them the locals
could hardly expect to pull out VIC
tory. Nevertheless, in the last half
of the game they held the visitors
down to four points and meanwhile
secured three, bringing the total up
to six.
Misses Lund and Tagley did the best
goal throwing for their teams and the
guarding of Miss Coulter was also
roundly applauded by the spectators.
The line up:

The boys game between the Y. M.
c. A. athletes and the normal bunch
certainly realized the expectations of
those who had come prepared for
hard fight The final score showed
the visitors in the rear to 10. The
most notable feature of the game was
the persistent guarding of both teams
interspersed to keep the spectators
alive to the situation. Mayville's lone
field goal speaks well for the ability
of Woods and Albertson, the local
guards. OF the three field goals Sc
cured by the Y, two, one by Dietz
and the 6ther by Woods. were of the
sensational order and certainly
brought down the roof" Fawcetts
goal throwing was not up to his usual
standard. but was characterized to
some extent by hard luck.
Prof. Pope. former Northwestern
university star, who has been coach
ing the Mayville teams said, after the
game: at was the fastest exhibition

have nothing but praise for the Y.

May Not Appeal.

The attorneys for James Jarvis
have not made up their minds yet IS
to whether they will appeal to the
supreme court or not. The costs in
the case have been enormous already
and much extra expense will be caused
to both sides if an appeal is taken.
Few people realize what a lawsuit
like the one just terminated would cost
and that the expense for appeals is
heavy. However, it is thought that the
appeal will be definitely decided upon
soon and if Borchers can sit in peace
in the council or not.

New York has long had a statue Of
Lincoln, the monument in Union
Square having been erected way back

of wealthy citizens, and is the work
of H. K. Brown.
OF Philadelphia's statues, the finest

OF INTEREST TO EAST SIDERS

contest the case some surprising re.
suits would follow from the evidence
introduced. The evidence used in this
Bell-Jarvis case could not be used as
the Clynch-Sherlock deal ia for alder
man at large, whereas the other was
for alderman in the First ward. An
other reason is that the votes over the
whole city would have to be investi-
gated and some illegal votes for the
other side would likely be found. The
sheet had no cause to make such q
statement as they did and would not
unless they had hidden purpose.

ARE
NUMEROUS
Prominent Citizen and Tax Payer
States That II Citizens Here Would
Do Less Knocking and More Boost.
ing the Name OF East Grand Forks
Would Be Regarded With Less Awe.

The name of East Grand Forks is
regarded with general disfavor and
prejudice all over the Union" said
prominent citizen today" Why is all
this talk and jabber over the tough
ness of our city being aroused? Sim
ply because lot of people here who
do not know any better, and who have
no property interests to speak of, to
protect instead of giving the city a
helping hand when they have the OPP
portunity and doing all they can for
It's benefit, knock it and speak i'll of
1t any time they see a chance. East
Grand Forks has one of the worst
regulations for being criminal city
and wild and woody place than any
other place it's size within the bound
airy lines of the United States. have
looked up criminal records in many
cities surrounding here and find that
this city has less crime in it than Lari-
more or Crookston, Bemidji and many
other places smaller than it is. l ad-
init that years ago East Grand Forks
was a very bad place for crime and
vandalism but the dockets and records
show that in the last five or six years
the place has been model one, and
that for a place with the number of
saloons this one has, it is a model
town. If the people who do all this
knocking would change their ways the
place would increase in size and popu-
lation at remarkable rate"
