meetings have gained Roadway, but
Sank Centre merchants set new pace
for her sister towns. They agreed,
before the meetings began, to close
during the evening services, and
everything has been shut tight. The
saloons joined in the extension Of
courtesy to the evangelists and
churches, closing their places from
1880 to 9 each evening.
Even the schools were given a
vacation several weeks earlier than
common to make way for the evange-
listic effort.
Truly Sank Centre has "done her.
self proud" in her union of sympathy
and support to this effort upon the
part of several of her churches to give
the town a moral uplift. Nor are the
people of Sank Centre willing to admit
that in such an action there is any
admission, intended or otherwise,
that her moral condition was un-
commonly deplorable. But the folks
of our city stand ready to give
encouragement and support to every
effort which means the betterment of
people generally.
The seating capacity of the opera
house has been taxed to its utmost all
through the meetings. On Sunday

THE TWELFTH ANNUAL

On Monday evening at their hall,
the twelfth anniversary of the K. P.
lodge was celebrated. About two
hundred guests were present, includ-
ing twenty visitors from Melrose.
For several days past much interest
has been taken in the preparation of
this entertainment, and it is sufficient
to say that none were disappointed.
The east end of the hall was fitted
up as stage, and one-act comedy,
''Too Much of Good Thing" was
given by several members of the order.
The characters were portrayed in a
manner that would have done credit
to professionals, and the skit was
greatly enjoyed, especially the local
hits.
At the conclusion of the comedy a
quartet composed of Messrs. Haddock,
Montgomery, Pulitzer, and Henneman
sang selection entitled, Little
Cotton Dolly" Miss Winnifred
Cooper and her brother, Glen, de-
lighted the audience by mandolin and
piano music. "Belle of the North"
"Flower Song" and several other
pieces were played.
An elaborate banquet was served at
midnight, after which the guests were
entertained at dancing and cards.
Those present from Melrose were:
Messrs. and Mesdames Geo. M.
Goodman, Chas. T. Shaw, DR.. l.. E.
Tuck, E. r. Sleeve, w. ]. Stock;
Mesdames ]. s. Landes, H. Watson,
8. Hill, III. 3. Harding, K. Barge;
Miss lone Stock; Messrs. Palmer
Anderson, Frank Sipe, Ed. Marston
and John Hill.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Daniels of St.
Cloud, were also present.

IMPROVED ORDER
OF REDMEN

The Improved Order of Redmen OF
this city held their first regular
pow WOW since their reorganization in
the K. P. hall on Tuesday night. A
large class of pale faces were tortured
into submission to the rights, customs
and benefits of the Children of the
Forest.
The Redmen Team from Long
Prairie handled the scalping knives
and tomahawks in an exceedingly
artistic manner. The following Long
Prairie Injuns skidooed from the
Long Prairie Reservation to the teepees
of their bretheren in Sank Centre:
G. o. Scow, Geo. T. Butler, P. P.
Kick, Geo. Williams, Fred Bernard,
G. R. Rhoner and w. w. Woods.
After the ceremonies "chuck" was
served in the shape of coffee, cake
and sandwiches. Afterwards the pipe
of peace was smoked, and in the early
hours of the morning the Long Prairie
braves hit the trail for that collection
of tepees where the redmen live in
peace and harmony, and where the
political braves are on the war path
the year round.

IN A WRECK

Melvin Scherffius returned from
Denver on Tuesday. He was q pas
senger on the train which was wrecked
on the Rio Grande and Denver r. &.
on Friday, where 80 many people lost
their lives and so many were injured.
The disaster is said to have been
caused by the night operator at Swal-
lows, a small station near Florence,
having been asleep while on duty.
The operator is reported to have tele-
graphed to the dispatcher at Pueblo,
in answer to questions, that train No.
8 had not yet passed when it had gone
through while the operator was asleep.
AS result of this information the
dispatcher issued orders which brought
the two trains together in one of the
most terrible disasters In the history
of railroading. The two trains, rum
ming at high rate of speed to make
up time lost in the blizzard, came
together on sharp curve with terrific
impact, neither train seeing the other
until they were 200 yards apart. Both
engineers died with their hands on
the emergency brakes.
The wrecked trains caught fire, and
those who were not held beneath the
wreckage, and who were not killed
outright, were slowly burned to death.
Out of one day-coach only fifteen
passengers escaped, while very few in
the sleepers were injured.
Mr.. Scherffius says that a more
horrible sight could not be imagined.
He was among the first in the relief
/ work.

I the evangelist. He would be the
strangest man who ever trod the earth
if he pleased everyone. Some say,
"He tries to brighten u.s." II don't
believe in excitement" says another.
And 80 they say on. But Barker pays
no heed to them. He simply says
they are having their toes pinched.
81 don't want to brighten anyone"
says Barker, "but 1 want to wake
some of you up, and the Lord knows
you sleep soundly."
Excitement, bless you, there's only
one thing about which folks must not
get excited, and that's religion. Get
excited about politics. Rout and rave
over whether the tariff on steel shall
be raised or lowered a half a mill.
Jump up and down and shout your
self hoarse over whether Jim Skinem
or Joe Peelem shall have the distribu-
ton of public patronage. Go fairly
wild over the terrible calamity to our
district if Bill Brown draws the salary
as representative instead of Ben Green
getting on the government pay roll.
Get excited over the fact that Dan
Patch hurried around a mile track
five seconds faster today than he did
yesterday. Go wild, get unduly ex-
cited about anything, but don't get
excited about religion.

NOTES

NOTES
A meeting for boys at the Congrega-
tional church Saturday evening was
we'll attended and greatly enjoyed.
Monday evening the services were
held in the Congregational and
Methodist churches.
The afternoon meetings this week
are being held in the Methodist
church.
On Friday afternoon Mr.. Barker
will give an address to ladies in, the
Methodist church.
Next sunday morning at 1890 the
churches will unite in union meeting
at the opera house. Rev. Mr.. Barker
will preach on Conservation"
At $3.50 Sunday afternoon another
meeting for men, only in the opera
house. Mr.. Barker will speak on the
subject, MAKING a Covenant with
Your Eyes," Music by the male
quartette. Solo by Mr.. Andrews.
Closing service Sunday night.
Male quartette will sing.
Mr.. Barker says that in all his
eighteen years of evangelistic work he
has never been more kindly received
than he has been by our people. He
frequently throws a boquet at the
folks. But Sank Centre people are
used to being complimented.
Mr. Andrews has done good work
with his chorus choir. He feels we'll
pleased with the support which the
singers have given him, and the
members of the choir are delighted
with the way in which he directs the
music. The audience enjoys the song
service and everyone unites in praise
of Prof. Andrews solo work.
Mr.. Barker and Mr.. Andrews leave
Monday morning on the flyer for
Ocheyedan, Iowa, where they begin a
meeting on Wednesday evening. The
best wishes of all go with these men
who, by their gentlemanly and kindly
manner and earnest service, hav Z
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1906-03-22

Rev. Mr.. Barker has won the con-
fidence of our citizens as an earnest
Christian gentleman. He believes
the one great need of the world, and
in the face of which all other questions
are mere trifles, is the Christ. Men
need to know Jesus to help them in
their business, to smooth the rough
places in life, to keep man steady
in the rush and hurry of his task, to
enable him to be sweet and pleasant
amid the vexations of home life. The
power of the Christ life is needed
everywhere.
While Mr.. Barker is a very earnest
man, he has sense of the humorous,
and can see the fun in life. His
evening talks before the sermon
sparkle with wit. His face reveals
the kindly good nature of the man.
He was once travelling through
Illinois when a gentleman came into
the car, sat down beside him and
said, ''That was fine lecture you
gave us at Princeton. 1t did me good,
and you cured my wife of indigestion.
Whenever you happen our way
want you to come and see u.s." So he
talked on. Barker tried to figure out
what the man was talking about.
When the gentleman rose to leave
Mr.. Barker said, "Who do you think
1 am anyway" The stranger looked
him squarely in the face and said,
Heavens, amt you Bill Nye?"
Mr.. Barker has too keen a sense of
of the greatness of his work to be a
mere humorist, but he abounds in
good cheer.
Last Sunday afternoon almost four
hundred men gathered for the meeting
in the opera house. Some very fine
music was furnished by male quar-
tette, composed of Messrs. Henshaw,
Andrews, Oehler and Haddock.
Mr.. Barker's address on "Sowing
and Reaping" was plain, straight
forward putting of great gospel
truth. The men are looking forward
to the next meeting for men only, to
be held in the opera house next Sum
day afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock.

| But Barker breaches right on the
message he thinks people need,
Andrews sings his gospel songs,
scores upon scores of people reach a
crisis in their lives, and take a bold
stand for what they believe is right.
And these peoples lives are made
better and happier. What then if
Barker does say some things which
sound extravaganza? The fruits of the
meetings are good, and deserve the
support which they are receiving FROM
our people.

night people we're turned away for
lack of place to stow them. Every
night men and women have f1ocked to
the hall, being hardly able to wait for
the doors to be unlocked.
On the streets, in the stores and
offices, everywhere over town, the one
theme of conversation is the meeting
at the opera house. Wasn't that a
fine meeting last night?" "Had a
crowd over at the old hall, didn't we?"
"Almost bulged the sides OF the
building out" "How do you like

the enthusiasm of the Christian. I'm
doubtedly one result of these afternoon
studies will be a more faithful use of
the Bible on the part of great many
persons.
Another feature of these services was
the prayer lists-names OF men and
women in whom someone had special
interest. These names were not made
public, but all united every day in
prayer for the persons thus represented.
The faith of the petitioners was
greatly strengthened by the fact that
very many, large per cent, of those
for whom special prayers were offered,
made the start in the Christian life
during this course of meetings.

NEW RURAL TELEPHONE COMPANY.

The farmers of Unity have organized
rural telephone company. 1t will
be called the Sank Centre and Unity
line. 1t will run from Sank Centre
to Unity and have connections with
Belgrade and Brooten. The farmers
are taking great interest in this line
and it will be erected just as soon as
the condition of the ground will
permit. The farmers and business
men will be mutually benefited by its
erection.
