CAUGHT BY THE DISASTER.
Rev. J. w. Mahood One ofthe Victim S
Of San Francisco Quake.
From Fridays Daily.
afternoon

Rev. j. w. Mahood, one of the we'll
known evangelists of the country, was
in Mankato yesterday. He is one of the
victims of the San Francisco disaster
He was asleep in his room on the sixth
floor of the Hotel Francis when the
shock occurred and his experience was
like many others who were in the ho-
tel on that fatal morning. Rev. Ma
hood states that really no adequate de-
scription of the scenes that were enact
ted in San Francisco OF that morning
has yet been published. There certainly
has been no exaggerated reports sent
out. Rev. Mahood was to have conduct
ed series of revival meetings in the
Golden Gate city, but of course the ca
tastrophe put a stop to the preaching
He held his first meeting OH the night
previous to the earthquake. 1t required
three days for him to get out of the city
to Oakland There he managed to get
aboard the refugees train and was
brought east. He referred in kindly
terms to the people in the towns along
the route as far as Ogden who supplied
the stricken passengers with food and
clothing and other necessities. At Og-
den Rev. Mahood was taken i'll and re-
manned there few days. Rev. Mahood's
home is in Sioux City. He is a close
attended meetings conducted by that
evangelist.

Dr.. Frank D. Powell Succumbs
to Heart Disease Today.
FAMOUS AS INDIAN FIGHTER
Was Mayor Of La Crosse Three
Terms Associated With Colonel
Cody in Several Enterprises.
Especial to The Free Press.J

Ell PaSO. lex, May S.-COlOnel FRANK
d. Powell, the famous Indian scout
known as White Beaver, died on train
east bound from Los Angeles. His body
was taken from the train here and an
inquest held, verdict of death from
heart disease being found
Colonel Powell was at one time resi-
dent of Lanesboro, Mimi. Later he
moved to La Crosse where he practiced
medicine for many years. He was may
or of that city three terms. He was an
especial friend of the poorer class of
people whom he served without money
and without price. He was a genial
kind hearted, loveable man, and gener-
Gus to fault. For several years he
maintained an office i'll st. Paul. OF
late years he had been associated with
Colonel w. f. Cody, in number of en-
terprises.
The first time DR.. Powell was elected
mayor of La Crosse he ran as an indie
pendent candidate and won out by a
majority of 800. His campaign meth
DDS were unique. Instead of spending
money in the saloons he kept the larders
of the working classes well supplied with
staple food articles. His opponents
laughed at his manner of conducting a
political fight. The result, however.
showed that Powell knew where to place
the goods. During his incumbency as
mayor, Mr. Powell wanted the city to
celebrate the Fourth of July in a royal
manner, but the business men did not
warm up to the proposition. Mayor Pow
ell, provoked at their lack of enterprise,
discharged the committee that had been
appointed to try to create patriotic en-
thusiasm, and proceeded ito get up a
grand celebration on his own hook. But
the fun was for the little folks and
several thousand enjoyed his hospitality
on the grounds out from the city which
he had prepared for the occasion. DIR.
Powell furnished everything. He would
permit no one to assist, although several
gentlemen offered to share the expense.
1t is said that the days outing cost
Powell at least $500, but he enjoyed
the hours spent with the children of
whom he was very fond. Those who
knew DR.. Powell best loved him the
most. He was a man to be admired.

BREAD CAST UPON WATER.
Returns to Professor 3. NJ. Reyn
olds After Many Years.

From Mondays Daily
The Northfield News of last Saturday
published the following interesting
story:
Truth is stranger than fiction and
bread cast upon the waters will bring
its returns.
"Prof. B. NJ. Reynolds of this city was
greatly surprised last week by the re-
cejpt of letter from former pupil
of his, when he was principal of the
Lockport Union schools at Lockport, n.
Y.
"The writer stated that he had been
trying to locate Mr.. Reynolds for a
number of years and not until recently
had he been able to do so. He happened
to read of Mr.. Reynolds being super
intendent of public instruction in a
| newspaper, and from that notice was
able to find his present address.
'In a beautifully worded letter, this
boy friend of Mr.. Reynolds recalled his
| former instructors attention TO the time
when he, to use the wording of the let
ter, SO nobly and generously offered to
pay for his college education and to
prepare him for the college, devoting to
| him extra time after school hours and
interesting him in Greek and Latin
'The letter received the 2Sth of April
| from the boy friend enclosed a check
for $500, "a slight token from the boy
who has never forgotten nor never will
forget the kindly offer you rendered
him.
"The boy friend is no less a person
than the Hon. Charles V. FOrnes, now
president of the board of aldermen of
the city of New York.
with the first letter sent Professor
Reynolds, Mr.. Fornes enclosed copy
of The Tammany Times with sketch
of himself on the first page. In the
sketch the article says that Mr.. Fornes
has, more friends in Tammany than any
other fusion office holder. One para
graph is devoted to the relating of
some of the obstacles he met and i'll
this his school days and acquaintance
with Mr.. Reynolds at Lockport Union
academy are mentioned.
"Professor Reynolds many friends in
Mortified will be greatly pleased with
his relation to and the remembrance by
Mr. Fornes."
Professor Reynolds is the father of
J. f. REYNOLDS of this city. The pro-
lessor is now nearly eighty-one years of
age For more than fifty-ive years he
was engaged in educational work. and is
known and honored among the older
educators of the northwest. He is
spending the evening of his life in
| Mortified where he is surrounded by
all the comforts of a happy home.
Many young men can testify to his en-
couraging words, his patient labor i'll
their behalf and the assistance he gave
! them in their struggles to obtain an
education He is thorough Christian
gentleman, one of those conscientious
and God fearing men whose pure and up
right character has brought to him the
esteem and confidence of the people.
He loved his profession. was careful
l.,
stood for all that was noble and uplift-
| inc in life. His own early life was one
of sacrifices in order that he could OBJ
tain knowledge and he passed over that
rough and rocky road which eventually
leads to success.
Professor REYNOLDS was at the head
of the Ioc!port school in 1863.

ADDRESS TO COLLEGE Y. M. c. A.
Delivered sunday Afternoon, June 10, by
Rev. Lewis rookie.

At o'clock Sunday afternoon, Rev.
Louis Brooke, pastor OF the First
Presbyterian church, Howell, Mich,
delivered the annual address before
the Y. Nj. c. A. and Y. w. c. A. So
cieties, at the College chapel. Mr..
Brooke is an eloquent and forcibe
speaker and held the close attention
of his audience. The fact that Mr..
Brooke is graduate of Alma College
made his remarks of especial interest.
Mr. Brooke took for his text the
thirty-ninth verse Of the tenth chap
ter of Matthew, and said in part as
follows:
There is nothing in the world so
interesting as a human life. The
proper study OF mankind is man "
Whether he be clothed in rags and
live in a tenement garnet, or whether
he be clothed in purple and fine linen
and live on the avenue; whether he
be wise as Socrates or as ignorant as
the African savage; whatever be his
condition, color, cline, or character,
a man is interesting because he is a
man. Within his body there dwells a
soul. a life. 1t thinks, and feels, and
hungers, and sympathizes 1t dwclls
with MS in this beautiful, life sustain
ing and life destroying world, see
ing its phenomena, undergoing its ex-
periences, feeling its pleasures and
bearing its sorrows. 1t is a life. It
is q soul 1t is a being like myself
and yourself hoping, feeling, pray
ing ! wonder what he thinks Of the
world, of the flowers, the clouds, the
stars, the sky; still more what he
thinks Of sorrow and labor and laugh
ter; what of sin and passion, of viz

tue and goodness; of sacrifice and
selfshness, of the life that now is and
of that which is to come. Does the
world appeal TO him as it does to
me? If it does, let us sympathize. If
not let me learn at his feet.
Now there is not a man but can be
our teacher. The great rich man can
teach us, of course. And the man to
whom we bow with alteration be-
cause of what he has done, or what he
has studied, or what Of honor he has
won. But the poor woman who tolls
in gloom, trusting in Divine Goodness
as no other seldom trust; and the boy,
child OF poverty, and ambition with
large plans and few opportunities;
and the very beggar at your door can
be your teacher in this. Each one
has thought it out, to his or her
ability-and arrived at some working
conclusion. Each one day by day i,
building his life upon his estimate,
whatever that may be.
Life is worth while; life is worth
realizing, the soul reaches out for
something to satisfy, we begin with
that truth. Each man tries to realize
it, to make his life worth while, to
find that in the world which shall
satisfy him and roundout his being.
Now what is that thing? Where
is the secret? What is that some
thing for which life pleads that it
may be satisfied
We differ. We call it happiness,
rest, satisfaction, life. But what is it
Some say passion, others say purpose
Some say God, others say greed
Some give their lives to every vice,
and steep themselves in lust and
leisure; while others bury themselves
in sacrifice of self, but all for the
reason, that they may find happiness
and realize life.
There are but two possible. ways
of solving the problem, for there are
only two things one can do with his
life, he can save it, or he can sacri-
fee it. He cannot do both, he must |
do one. Which way then is the way |
Of truth Let me bring you the word |
Of Christ upon it, authoritative here
as everywhere, in this instance Of his
greatest of sayings, oft repeated. Gle
that indeth his life shall lose it; and
he that loseth his life for my sake
shall find it."
l. First, then, he that fndeth his
life shall lose it; or as we have it
'urther on in this same gospel who
'oever will save his life shall lose it;
or as we have it in Johns gospel, he
hat loveth his life shall lose it.
The meaning is plain

Detroit is in need of more working
men. The very highest wages ever
paid there since the Indians surren-
dered the town to the white men, are
being paid now, but there is work for
all who will take it and more men are
needed; more than a thousand more,
the newspapers of that city say. This
situation may be embarrassing to the
business managers OF the great in
dustries of Michigans metropolis, but
it is not bad for the workingmen.
There was a time, not longer ago than
the memories Of many Detroit work
ing men will include, that more than
a thousand men were out of employ
ment, and those who were employed
were getting about half the wages
they now receive. 1t is not necessary
to insist that the happy change in
conditions is due to changes in ma
tional policies as compared with the
other years in mind, but it will be well,
if such related facts are kept in mind.
