SAN FRANcIsCo'S INSURANCE.

We find in the Wall Street Journal a
pretty full statement Of tho insurance
In San Francisco, and the liabilities Of
a number of the large companies under
H. The risks of the California compa-
MES is estimated as follows:
California San Francisco- ,...,...... 81, ,25s $40
Ftrcmen's Fund san Francisco .... 100 500
Home Fire nnd Marine. san Fran ...
Pacific Underwriters, san Francisco 2.OS3 200
Total ...... ....... ..,.,.........: SIS. 49, 500
1t Is quite probable that these risks
may not be Immediately met, for no
doubt the insurance companies OF San
Francisco are as badly crushed by the
great calamity as are any Of the other
business establishments of the city, and
this may be taken es a pointer In favor
place an insurance risk at home, for
the same catastrophe that overwhelmed
the city, as in Chicago and now in San
Francisco, also overwhelms the insu-
rance company. The probable delay In
the settlements is emphasized by the
fact that to meet risks of S7.760,SOO, the
FiremeUs Fund had q surplus of but
S2,71S.l45; and the Home Fire and Ma
rine. with risks OF s5,l10, 300, had but
$S03. $50 surplus.
The risks of some of the chief East
ern companies in San Francisco COM
pared with their surplus fund, are thus
stated.

DENTIST MURDERED
in ASHLEY HOTEL
Dr.. Drake Shot Down by Henry
Fulkinson
The Latter lnccnsed Over Small Item of as
Gents Said to Be Won in Card
Game Murderer Escapes

DR.. 1. l.. Drake, a travelling dentist
with headquarters at Bismarck, was
shot and killed by Henry Fulkinson in
the 500 hotel at Ashley last Monday
evening. The men had been engaged
in a friendly game of cards, and it is
reported that Fulkinson, or ''Slim Jim"
as he is known, had As cents coming
from DR.. Drake, who had joined with
others of the hotel in joshing 3'Slim
Jim.'' The latter left the hotel saying
he would get Drake yet, and true to
his threat he soon returned, pulled
revolver and fired point blank at the
dentist twice.. One shot entered the
stomach and one entered the heart.
The dentist died almost Instantly.
"Slim Jim" with the revolver still
smoking in his hand, backed out of the
door and up till yesterday noon had not
been apprehended.
States Attorney R. R. Hedtke of
Mcintosh county, DR.. w. I. Mcbride,
of Bismarck, partner of the dead man,
and Frank Rhobothew Of Ashley, were
on their way to Minneapolis the night
of the murder, and phone message
intercepted them here and they re-
turned to Ashley the next day. DR..
Mcbride informed The Times that the
murdered man was about 20 years of
age, and was of jolly, good-natured
disposition. His weight was about 225
pounds. DIR. Drake was married man
with one child, and a respected member
of the masonic fraternity. His remains
were to be taken to Minneapolis, his
former home, for interment.
The authorities of Mcintosh county
will leave no stone unturned to bring
the murderer to justice. It is said by
some around town that tSlim Jim" had
been in Oakes, and that he worked here
some at his trade as plasterer.

Religion and Religious Conditions in Russia

By Rev. Father Baker Of oake

Russia, the country where barbarism
with it's terrors and superstitions, abso-
lutism in its most absolute form, had
established their bloody throne for the
last thousand years where an unloved
populace numbering millions had been
systematically kept in ignorance-a
means more inhuman than bloodshed-
to shield and legalize the tyrannous
power of the mighty ones, Russia is
awakening to last, final, universal
struggle for constitutional freedom.
The antiquated machinery, which for
the past ten centuries, had been drag
ging along the colossal chaos, called the
Russian empire, is being searched to
the marrow of it's elements, and found
wanting. "'Rights of the individual,
constitutional freedom such is the
summary of the bloody, revolving news,
that will presently arise from the em-
pire of the czar, and redden the sky of
the political horizon of his country, like
threatening clouds carrying storm and
destruction.
Through some strange coincidence,
the least happenings in country, evi-
denced by great events, are anxiously
dissected by a hungry reading public;
they gain Importance and evoke inter-
est. Ever since the ninth century the
church in Russia had been the fettered
handmade of the state, her ministers,
the vile instruments of superstitious
autocrat. It is not until the time of
the last revolution that a general out
cry Of indignation is to be heard all
over the christian universe, and assisted
by the suffrage Of millions, the church
of Russia begins to claim her rights.
This church, however, as it descended
through the centuries down to the pre-
sent times, is essentially different from
the Catholic church as we'll as any Of
the other christian denominations.
It was at the end of the tenth century
that Russia received in stable and
definite manner, the benefit of the
G: :thoic faith, when the ze..lous prince,
Vladimir the Great, brought Greek
The Oakes times. [volume] (Oakes, N.D.) 1906-current, 1906-01-25

priests to teach the Russian peop'e the
principles of the christian religion.
This fact explains the great influence
which the Greek clergy exercised from
the beginning over this people-an in
fiuence, which led later to the introduc-
tion of the schism (separation) into the
powerful nation.
AS matter of fact the present re-
ligion of Russia is not more Greek than
Russian or Anglican. Though, at the
period when it embraced the schism. it
was Immediately dependent on the
Greek Patriarch of Constantinople, it
has long since broken the hand which
united it to this great center of the
schism of the East.
Since the time of Peter the Great,
the father of the Russian empire, the
Russian church has been governed by
council called the Holy Synod, which
acts in the name and by the authority
of the emperor, and is usually presided
over by an officer of the court. Peter,
by the institution of the Holy Synod
and by the PRONUNCIATION of ecclesiasti-
cal rule, destroyed even the appearance
of independence in the Russian clergy.
His successors have aggravated the evil.
It is well known that the composition
of this synod depends entirely upon the
good pleasure of the emperor and that
all its acts are subject to minister of
the czar, bearing the title of procurator
of the synod. Moreover, in the eccle-
siastical seminaries and academies, the
nomination and deposition of the pro-
fessors, the choice of classic works, the
methods of teaching are all regulated
by the government. Thus, notorious
infidels have held professorships in
these institutions. One can easily
divine what must be the fate of the
clergy's and the peoples faith under
ksuch system. It is simply the
national religion Of Russia most init
mately united with the autocratic gov
ernment, which rules all the Russias,
and should be called Muscovitism. I.

posed upon them. A week ago last
Monday morning vas one Of the cold
est Of the winter, the mercury being
% below. James on the Milwaukee
EAST of this city is flag station On
that bitter cold morning some half
dozen persons desiring to take passage
to Aberdeen assembled on the depot
platform making all sorts Of signals to
the six O'Clock train from the east.
The train went by without Stacking
speed. Five of the gathering were
students in various schools in Aber-
deem. Some of them lived so distant
from the station that they had to get
up at $3.50 to face the cruel cold to
be in time for that train. They had
to wait nearly all day before they
could get a train to take them to their
destination.
