Police Are Called.

After quiet had been restored, Dow.
lie again attempted to proceed with the
meeting, but he was jeered and called
traitor and robber until he finally de-.
cided to dismiss the audience. A riot
call was sent to the police station and
Captain Of Police Walker with four
men hurried to the tabernacle in a
wagon. BY tks time the police ar
rived most of the audience had left
the building. In the midst OF the
trouble, Burleigh, the negro attendant
of Dowie, rushed upon the platform
and placed himself at the first apos.
ties side, while those of the uniform.
ed Zion guards who have taken sides
with Dowie, formed line of defense
in front of the platform. No attempt
at violence. however, was made
against Dowie.
Dowie was so weak that he had to
be carried from his carriage into the
tabernacle by two attendants.
1t was announced at Shiloh house
last night, however, that he had eaten
a heavy dinner and that he felt no i'll
effects from the excitement of the aft
ernoon.

Chicago, May IA meeting over
which John Alexander Dowie presided
at Zion City Sunday afternoon was
broken up by number of followers
of Voliva, assisted by several ortsid-
ers, and before the crowd dispersed a
free fight occurred. Dowie was ad-
dressing an audience of 600 persons
and made the statement that the over
seers Of the voliva faction were
thieves and robbers. At once a num-
Der in the audience were on their feet
shouting mo. no, you are the robber;
why don't you pay your debts?"
The disturbance became SO violent
that Zion guard was sent to restore
order. The guard took hold of an old
man who was loudest in his demands
for Dowie to pay his obligations and
this was the signal for free fight. A
dozen men seized the guard, and were
about to drag him down the aisle
when Gladstone Dowie and Deacon
Arlington mounted the platform and
called on the audience to take their
seats.

Duluth Lumber Market.

The chief matter Of interest in the
lumber market is the strong advance
of lumber prices over those of year
ago. Lumber in the Duluth market
is said to be selling from $3.50 to So
above what it was year ago, along
all lines, the lower grades showing,
perhaps, a greater increase in price
than the upper grades. The lowest
grade, No. 6 lumber, which few
years ago had practically no value,
is now selling for 81 per thousand
feet. Boards in the No.. s grade are
bringing high price, while No. 4
boards are selling at s15.. At these
prices it is said that the eastern buy
ers are holding off where they can
find substitutes, and southern poplar
and other woods are being purchased
by some in the boxmaking trade.

Entertainment Given on Friday Even.
ing by Home Talent In Every
Respect Successful.
A Series of Concerts Along Similar
Lines Would Doubtless Elicit
Public Appreciation.

On Friday evening an entertainment
was given at the Methodist church by
home talent as previously announced
in this paper. The house was packed
to the doors. Every number upon the
program was we'll executed, the par
Elephants demonstrating that they
were perfectly familiar with their re-
spective numbers. Mrs. G.. A. Galley,
Misses Julia McMasters, Helen and
Mary Patterson, Ouida Brown, Rita
Byers, Mabel and Esther Thompson
and Mr.. F. Woodcock were the vocal
lists, while Misses Margaret I. King
and Frances Peterson gave readings.
Instrumental numbers were given by
Misses Hazel Jaax, Amy Woodcock,
Lola Scheen, Gladys Cathcart and
the orchestra. Mrs. Ben Soule ably
accompanied the vocalists upon the
piano.
The ladies of the M. E. church de-
serve much praise for the successful
manner in which the entertainment
was managed and many people are
DESTROYS that they arrange another
such concert.

GOOD SEED CONTEST
All Public School Pupils Are Eligible
to Enter Into Competition
for the Prizes.
Wheat, Oats and Corn Are the Grains
Selected for Which Awards
Will Be Made.

The following article from County
Superintendent Ewing relating to the
public school seed-growing contest
should prove of much interest:
The seed-growing contest by the
public schools has been taken up in
about forty counties this year. The
conditions of the contest may be
briefly stated as follows:
Bulletins are sent out explaining to
teachers and pupils the best methods
of growing grain.
After studying the bulletins
thoroughly the pupil will have to set
aside not less than one-fourth of an
acre of land for each variety of grain
he wishes to grow. The parents or
others may give what aid is necessary,
but the work should be done by the
pupil or under his direction.
Each pupil should select his own
seed, getting good local varieties if
possible, and should not send away
from home for it.
Wheat, oats and corn are the main
crops for the contest, and it is prob
able that ten prizes will be given in
each variety of grain when the con-
test closes, which will be either the
time of the county fair or later if con-
sidered propitious.
Those who win first, second and
third places in each of. the grains,
wheat, oats and corn, shall be entitled
to enter the state contest which is to
be held under the auspices of the Field
Crops and Breeders association next
January.
Spring work will soon be under
way, and it is therefore time to con-
slider the matter and determine whether
it is advisable to take up the work in
Mile Laos county or not. It is more
than probable that, if taken up in
this county, a high degree of excel
lence can be attained and that some
of the state prizes can be secured.
Within a short time I intend sending
circulars or bulletins to each of the
teachers explaining the contest in
detail.

house. 1T is a peculiaf thing, but
in each year there will be exactly two
Fridays which fall on his date. In
1905, for instance, thege were Feb. Is
and Oct. ID. This/ year they will
come in April and July. I have
studied up the evedts of the worlds
history to learn if any of the great
est calamities known to man occurred
on any of these apparently hoodooed
Fridays, but have not yet been able
to find that /they have been specially
unlucky days. I imagine, however,
when in tie course of time leap year
falls so as to bring three of these
Fridays into one year that there will
be all sorts of woe and misfortune on
earth. That will be in about two
centuries, 50 we needn't worry much
for the present. ''-Milwaukee Sentinel.

Occasion for Superstition.

So many have been the fatalities
among those connected with the case
of George E. Smith against John
Daley, now pending in Galveston,
Tex, that the rest are reported as
suffering from "cold feet" The ac-
ton, which is locally known as the
"widow's coffin case," was brought to
try title to piece of property trans
ferred by a widow to an undertaken in
payment for her husbands coffin.
Both the original parties to the action
died soon after it's institution, about
three years ago. Then Thomas
Brick, the district clerk who first filed
the suit, succumbed to the malign in
Auence. When the case came to trial
before Judge William H. Stewart, it
was argued by three attorneys. Clegg
Stewart. Foster Rose and William T.
Austin. Within a short time all three
of these lawyers fell i'll and died, and
they were followed after brief period
by Judge Stewart. The men who plat
ted the land in dispute, Alexander
and @. A. Sias, have also
been ferried across the Styx. Early
in December District Clerk Simons set
the case for new trial, and straight
way was gathered to his fathers.
Now the case is resting in a remote
pigeon-hole in the clerks Office, where
it is likely to remain indefinitely, for
the Galveston lawyers are passing by
on the other side, and at mention of it
the court officials and employees of the
clerks Office tremble and cross them
selves.-Law Notes.
