Duluth Is Shaken.

For q radius of forty-five miles in
every direction from Duluth the con-
cussion could be distinctly felt. In
Duluth every house in the city shook
and in number of instances dishes
and bricabrac ratified as though an
earthquake had occurred. The opin-
ion everywhere prevailed that the ex-
plosion was close at hand. At Carlton,
twenty miles from this city, and but
one and one-half miles from the scene
of the explosion, the conclusion was
not felt at all and the inhabitants
there were not aware that one had
taken place until informed by tele,
phone. Messages were sent for ply.
sicians from that point and Cloquet,
six miles distant, and by means OF
teams they hastily responded.

DELAY is COSTLY.
Advance in Wages Makes Franklin
School Job More Expensive.


1t is likely to cost the school board
at least 500 more to put in the sewer
and water connection at the Franklin
school than it would have cost when
the bids were opened by the committee
on school property a month ago. A.
Bashaw has withdrawn the figure that
he made the plumbers for doing the
excavating through the rock, and has
added Just 500 to it, or dollar a
foot. He states that the reason for this
is that wages advanced fifty cents a
day on Tuesday of this week. Men
who had been getting $50 day now
get So day, and men who got $l.20 a
day now get $l75 a day. Mr.. Bashaw
also states that he has been notified
that another advance in wages will 90
into effect on June 1st, but how much
he does not know.
The school board committee has decid-
ed to advertise for new bids, and will
probably receive them Monday. The
school district will assume all liability
in case of damage to the building in
blasting for the excavation. The con-
tract will also include taking the water
and sewer pipes under the building to
the rear room of the basement.

DOG AS A SLEUTH.
Ottawa Village Has a Canine That
Did a Fine Job

st. Peter, May H.-Ottawa village
has dog that is entitled to an hon
orary membership in the LIE Sueu
County Horsethief league. 1t is the
property of John Lang, landlord of the
Ottawa hotel. and its owner is vastly
proud of the sagacity it displayed Tues
day night.
After the dogs masters stable had
been robbed the animal set out on the
trail of the marauder and succeeded in
recovering the property, feat which is
not always equaled by the average
posse.
Landlord Lang is lover of good
horse flesh and has number of fine an
imals in his barn. On Tuesday night the
structure was entered by some unknown
person, who saddled and bridled one OF
the best animals and rode away. 1t is
supposed that the dog was absent on a
private expedition when the theft was
committed, but its owner belives that
when it returned and found the stable
open it started in pursuit of the thief
was successful in overtaking him and
then compelled him to abandon his
mount.
On the morning after the robbery Mr.
Lang quickly discovered his loss. Har-
Messing up team he started in the di-
rection which he judged had been taken
by the thief, but when less than two
miles from the village he met the big
dog, calmly driving the stolen horse
toward home
Both dog and horse were greatly ia
tigued and it was evident that they had
Travelled a long distance during the
night.

Asked TO Take Passionate Of
Christian Church.
HE WILL PROBABLY ACCEPT.
Has Been Occupying The Pulpit At
Garden City for Some Years;
IN Able Man.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The Christian church held a business
meeting last evening, after the evening
services, and voted unanimously to ex-
tend call to Rev. b. V. Black of Gar
den City to fill the vacant pulpit He
conducted the services yesterday fore
noon and evening, and SO pleased the
church membership that the business
meeting in the evening was the result
Large congregations were present at
both services.
The call was extended for an indefi-
mite time, and Rev. Black announced
that he would probably accept it. Since
then he has informed the church board
of his acceptance. He takes the church
in better condition than it has been in
for the past ten years, for the debt is
wiped out. and there has recently been
an addition of thirtytwo members as
result of the revival meetings.
Rev. Black was born in Indianapolis
in 1880, and graduated from Butler col
lege in that city, a Christian theological

came to Minnesota and filled the pulpit
at Truman for Il short time, then ac
cepting call from the Garden City
church, where he has remained for three
years. He will leave that church in
| splendid condition. He is an able
preacher, and has done remarkably good
| work during the time that he has been
in the ministry. He has bright future
before him, and the Mankato church is
to be congratulated upon having secured
him.
| Rev. Black was married three years
ago. He will commence his duties as
pastor of the church June lst He is
at present engaged in evangelistic work
at Gary, S. d., and returned there to-
day. Friday he will 90 to Farimont and
address church convention and next
Sunday he will preach his farewell ser
mon at Garden City. The following
Sunday he will take up his work in the
pulpit of the church in this city. The
Garden City church has called Prof. Van
Acken, president of Parker college, ia
fill the pulpit there Sundays for an in
definite time. He is an able man, and
as long as he is willing to preach there
the church will probably be slow to take
steps to permanently fill the vacancy
caused by Rev. Blacks removal.

LOST GOSPEL Is FOUND.
Document Of immense Value to The
ologians Is Located.


London, May l7.-Drs. Grenfell and
Hart, during their researches i'm the
ruins of OXyrynchcus, whose ancient
monasteries some years ago yielded the
famous Logia of Christ, have found a
fragment of the supposed lost gospel
which now is in Queens college, Ok
ford.
1t is a tiny scrap of vellum, perforat-
ed by worms and yellowed by sixteen
centuries, but the writing is perfectly
legible. 1t is written in Greek charac-
ters, which are almost microscopically
minute with the scarlet initial "S.'
There are about 800 words. 1t certain
ly is no part of any extant gospel, but
its theological value must be left to
theologians. 1t is unusually well writ
ten from a literary viewpoint. 1t be-
gins in the middle of a speech.
Jesus and his disciples have entered
the temple and met the Pharisee, who
rebukes them for emitting some cere-
monial of ablution. Jesus asks the
Pharisee what the latter has done to
comply with the ceremonial. The Phar-
isees reply infinitely describes the proc
ess of publication, of which no previous
authority has given details.
Then follows a powerful, eloquent de-
nunciation by Jesus of mere outward
publication, he saying he and his disci-
Piles have been purified by the waters OF
life.
Also mention is made of hitherto
unknown part of the temple called Hag-
neuterian, or place of publication.
Theological circles are greatly interest
ed in the discovery, which promises a
sensation equal to that created by the
Logia of Christ.

Four Hundred Entries From
Minnesota Now In.
PROF. SHAW Is IN CHARGE
Awards Amount to Eight Thousand
Dollars; Hard Task Is Ahead
7 For the Judges.

st. Paul, May l7.-There are more
and the two Dakotas for the $4,000 in
prizes offered by James j. Hill for the
best farms.
Professor Thomas Shaw, selected by
Mr.. Hill to have charge of the awards,
has these entries in hand, but says that
at least so per cent will not be able
to qualify because of not being able to
fulfill the conditions-that is, that each
farm must have at lesat twenty head
of breeding cattle and twenty head of
sheep or swine.
These conditions imposed by Mr.. Hill
are the best part of the whole thing, .
said Professor Shaw today. mo farm
is complete without this equipment of
stock as a minimum. The fact that
farmers are giving too little attention
to stock raising and too much attention
to raising the same crops of grain year
after year on their lands, is annually
decreasing the crop producing value of
their farms thousands of dollars.
sTt is full realization of this fact
on the part of Mr.. Hill that has prompt
ed him to offer his prizes. Mr.. Hill
has taken the right view of the matter
and the one to which the farmers of
the northwest must come sooner or lat
er. and the sooner the BETTER"
Mr.. Hill is yet to select one judge
to act with Professor Shaw in making
the inspections of the farms listed. 1t
is going to be tremendous task Tor
the two Judges to make an examina-
ton of 200 farms between the time the
crops get a good start and the time for
harvest. The visit to 200 farms scat
tered throughout three states calls. for a
great amount of travel Because of their
being so scattered, it is probable that
much of the travelling will be done by
automobiles in preference to the rail
roads. Not only will the soil of each
farm be examined, but methods of oper-
alton will be studied by the judges.
From half day to a day will be needed
on each farm inspected. The award can
not be made until late in the fall. Pro-
lessor Shaw will draft exhaustive re-
ports, which are to be published, and
which, it is believed, will be a great
aid to farmers if they study them
There are three prizes for each of a
number of sections. These prizes are
$500, $3.50 and SIS. There are seven dis
triets in Minnesota, the first and third
congressional districts make one section,
the fourth and fifth districts another.
The other sections follow the congress
sional district lines. In North Dakota
there are five sections, in South Dako-
ia three. made from the eastern (the
agriculturalD portion.
In addition to the prizes offered by
Mr.. Hill, there are prizes offered by
the Orange Judd Farmer, through which
paper the entries, to a large extent, are
being made

SHOES STOLEN.
One Guest at Commercial House Sus-
pected Of Robbing Another.

From thursdays Daily.
George NJ. Kloidy, an employe of the
Citizens Telephone company. who is
stopping at the Commercial House, is
out a pair of patent leather shoes as
the result of the operations of sneak
thief yesterday morning. A man named
P. Pressnall of st. Paul arrived the
night before and took room. Yester-
day morning he left, and when his room
was looked into pair of old shoes
were found there. This leads the police
to suspect that he is the party who
took the patent feathers.

sermons he had delivered while here
last summer.
The Rev. L. B. Stiles, missionary sup
erintendent in New Hampshire, review
ed his acquaintance with the deceased,
commencing when they met on the cam
| pus at Andoyer, and extending through
the years they were roommates there,
and the eighteen years since, during
which they had from time to time writ
ten each other, while the speaker had
been missionary in India and his
! friend had been no less a missionary in
| the great west. He made most affect
ing reference to last summer when four
of the old classmates spent several days
in camp at the Weirs, and dwelt on the
fact that to his friends the Importance
of his mission seemed of all absorbing
consequence. He said Mr.. Edmands had
always been considered by professors
and students alike, as a deep and clear
| thinker, and one who was not injured
| by advanced ideas, but who assimilat-
ed them and made them an assistance in
his one great purpose And he thought
the strong elements about him were his
singleness of purpose, his Christian char
acter, his sense of call to the ministry,
and his JOY in the work.
The Rev. A. G. Young, missionary in
North Dakota, spoke of the great loss
that had come to him and to his work,
for the deceased had been not only
friend, but counselor and adviser,
courageous, unselfsh, and always ready
to take the hard place. He referred to
his work in general, and especially as
president of the Home Missionary So
ciety, as a trustee of Fargo college, and
as pastor in Wahpeton, all of which had
left an impression which had been deep
ened by his tragic death and the anx-
ious months that had followed While
grave would be made, yet he belonged
to the west, for there his work had
been done, and there his loss would be
| felt
Porter H. Dale spoke for the family
in recognition of the helpful friendship
that had sustained the widow and
daughter through the trying months of
the past winter, of the great interest
shown by letters and resolutions from
friends and churches in the west, and
more particularly of individuals of all
classes in Wahpeton where universal
solicitude and unbounded generosity had
been shown in every possible way, nam
ing especially Deacon o. J. Wakefield
and Rev. Mr.. Young He then made ref
erence to the last few days of Rev.
Mr. Edmands' life and read the hymn,
day service he conducted. and which
was sung in conclusion of the funeral
service.
80 Paradise, 0 Paradise,
Who doth not crave for rest?'
| Memorial services were held in the
Congregational church at Wahpeton, of
which The Gazette says in part: 'The
Odd Fellows attended in body, and
the church was filled with sorrowing
friends. Rev. Mr.. Barnes spoke in high
est terms of the departed pastor and
his excellent qualities, and commended
his service here and elsewhere. He
worker, and a Christian man, and de-
plored his taking away at time when
he seemed entering upon his best life
work." 3D."
