terday afternoon after a trip of six
weeks throughout the east.
Miss Lawton declares that she has
had a glorious time, but had to come

a few weeks she will devote all her
attentions to getting ready for another
years work.
"I am so glad to get back to South
ern California, and I am more and
more convinced after my trip that
there is no other place in the world"
said she. when I first saw Califor-
MIA this morning I gave one big sigh
of satisfaction, and I believe this will
always be home to me.
"I have been to New York, Chicago,
Denver, Salt Lake, and, oh, so many
other places in these short six weeks

in small matters. There is no doubt
that some will have to make small con-
cessons dear to them. 1t would not be
well to sacrifice genuine principles and
convictions, but there are so many
little things we call principles and
convictions that are not always val
liable.
II know of two Congregational
churches designated as upper and lower,
according to their elevation of locations.
But these churches had many differ
ences socially and otherwise and were
far apart as the Jews and the Samari-
tans The church on the elevation was
accused by the other as being up street,

Bishop w. M. Bell Speaks

'In Ohio there was a division of opin-
ion regarding the wearing of but
tons or hooks and eyes. Some were sure
that the buttons meant evil and the
same with the others regarding the
hooks and eyes.
1--WE want to size up these things and
work together. We must look at it and
see what the sacrifice means in bring
ing about the union of the churches,
and bend our energies in the conSum-
nation of the great interdenominational
union"
Bishop w. M. Bell of the United
Brethren church followed Rev. DR..
GLADDEN., prefacing his address with
complimentary remarks regarding the
latter. He said:
ST think it is right to say as one as
sociated in committee work that 1t is
a matter of fairness to consider the
great movement of the interdenomina-
tional union of the churches. I have
been a student for some time on these
lines. have been anxious about these,
which have deemed needless divisions
in the churches.
Sees Divine Plan
'T think it is the divine plan of God
to form this consolidation here in
America. l think that the time has
come for fruitfulness. We are living
in an age when the flash of the gospel
will do much. We should represent the
principles of a new fellowship. Many
in the pews are asking the question re-
garding this division.
"It is true that in some places our
church competitions are unendurable.
Some congregations are overcrowded
and others have small attendance.
These should be more equalized.
"The men engaged in this work show
the spirit of God. There is a call for
this work and why should we not ac-
cept criticisms of the hour. We all un-
derstand how denominational history
grips upon us, and this is the time for
alignment in the cause of union, for
gigantic foes are among us and we
must forge ahead and meet them
squarely.
''How liable we are to do things that
would not be sanctioned by God, but as
for me, / had rather do right in the
sight of God If I were to be put on a
cross road circuit or to prune an
orchard.
"Let us seek more acquaintance in
the work of Fellowship which has been
started, that we may be more open to
the light and receive the sanction of our
God in the uniting of our church
forces"
Rev. w. w. Ferrier of San Francisco
and Rev. C. S. Nash of Berkeley led in
the discussion.

BUCKS NEW PROPOSAL.
Wants 5000 an Acre for Eighteen
Acres Of Park Property.

From Wednesdays Daily.
E. l.. Bucks latest proposition for the
sale of the Minneopa Falls property to
the state for park purposes is that he
will sell eighteen acres, including the
falls and the desirable property around
it, for 5000 an acre, or $4,000. The at
titude of the majority of the Commercial
club committee is favorable to the pur-
chase, and this will be recommended to
Attorney General Young, but it is the
general opinion that he will consider
the price professionally high and fail
to carry out the deal Another sugges-
tion is that it ask him to begin con-
demnation proceedings.
The suggestion has been made that
the city buy the property at $500, in
stead of the North Fourth street prop
erty at $500, and make city park
out of it.

TOOK FRENCH LEAVE.
John w. Carlson Escaped Before He
Gould 6e Committed.


John w. Carlson, who was yesterday
sentenced to pay fine of $40 or go to
Jail for twenty days for drunkenness, eff
fected his escape from the city hall in
the. afternoon before he was committed
to the county Jail. He asked to be TAX
Ell to the closet, and the police soon had
call after that and forgot about his
not being locked up and left him alone.
He took advantage of the opportunity to
Fly the coop" The police did not care
so much about his going as the manner
in which he went, and when he is caught
he may have to serve some additional
time He has time check coming, but
payment has been stopped upon it.
Carlson was found at his house today
and was committed to the county Jail to
serve his sentence. He said that he es-
capped from the city hall because he
thought he would return to work. As he
had soaked" his tools, he had nothing
to work with.

DAMAGE FROM ELECTRoL YsIs
Officials Mould Like to Soc City's In :
terests Protected In Ordinance.


Some of the city officials are inter
ested in having a clause in the street car
ordinance which will make the company
responsible for any dagame to the wat
er mains through electrolysis, as is GUS
tomary in other cities It is said that
the ordinance does not contain such a
clause. Some of the city officials do
not favor the proposed plan of passing
sthe ordinance the, same night that it
lis presented to the council, for they say
that matter so important should be
considered with the deliberation that its
Importance merits. They say that the
chances of street car line could hardly
be injured by delay of two weeks.
They would like to have the public
Know what is in the ordinance before it

IT'S A GREAT FUN SHOW.
Buffers Are Making Good; HypnotIsr
and Mind Reading.

Buffers Are Making Good; HypnotIsm
and Mind Reading.
From Wednesdays Daily.
The Buffers gave their second per
Torrance last night to another delight
ed audience that yelled and laughed un
til their sides were sore. DR.. Butler
made short talk and explained why
some people make good subjects and
others do not. People who are consider
ed nervous are more easily brought un-
der the hypnotic spell than the phleg-
matte temperaments because they have
large Imagination and are given to ex.
ercising the higher functions of the
brain.
1t did not take but a few minutes to
get the class which was composed of
some of MankatO's well known young
men. The class was representative and
responded readily to every suggestion,
and Mrs. Butler, the funmaker, soon had
the house in burst of merriment. The
scenes came quick and fast and kelei-
dOscOpic view was feast for the eyes
of the fun hunter That Mrs. Butler
is mistress of the art of fun making is
stating her claims mildly. She is the
most wonder, expert, and accomplished
lady hypnotist in the world and en-
joys the distinction of being an asso-
ciate member of the Society for PSYCHE
cal Research, and has done much ex-
perimenting for that society.
The closing scene last night was a
fitting finale for the very funny en-
tertainment that went before. The
young men were given the suggestion of
Spanish dance, and the class was
dressed up as so many Spanish bellies
and with tambourines and castinets they
tripped the light fantastic toe to the
merry strains of the Spanish dance as
gracefully as though they were "to the
manor born" The audience gave evil
dence of their appreciation by long and
hearty applause.
The most wonderful thing was the
mind reading by Mrs. Butler at the end
of the fun part of the program. The
audience was asked to write questions
and hold them in their hands, and Mrs.
Butler was blindfolded and placed on
the stage, and most all the questions
were read and answered with readi-
ness and accuracy that made the audi
ence stare in wonder. Mrs. Butler is
most wonderful and expert clairvoy-
ant and reads peoples minds and in
fuences almost as readily and quickly
as though she was reading from the
written page.
Tonight the Buffers promise some new
features and an entire change of pro-
gram. If you want to see the most
wonderful and instructive exhibition of
hypnotism and mind reading by all
means see the Buffers and have a good
long laugh. They are refined and in
telligent people and instruct as well as
amuse. Secure your tickets early and
see the great fun show tonight. Dr.
Butler will lecture on mind reading to.
night and explain how it is done.

BAR WOMEN FROM VOTING.
Females Cannot Express Preference
at the Primaries.

L
From Wednesdays Daily.
st. Paul, June 27.-Women cannot
vote in primary elections even wher
school officers are involved, though thu
law says they may register their pre-
ference for such in general elections. At
torney General Young makes this rul
mig.
An opinion to this effect was given by
Attorney General Young today in an
swer to a request from the office of Sup
erintendent Olson of the state education
al department. The ruling was asked in
order to satisfy a number of letters that
have been received.
In giving his opinion, barring women
from participation in primary elections
Mr.. Young says such elections are es-
sentially the action of political parties
in naming candidates for office which
theoretically express their principles
and in such women have no part
In barring women from the primaries
where school officers are involved the in
terests of women candidates for such
places are jeopardized and protest
from the fair sex is likely to be made. If
they cannot vote, it is held they cannot
have any place on the primary ticket
and, therefore, are barred from the regu-
lar ballot, unless by petition, which nee
essarily means the filing under some par
ty emblem other than the two regularly
recognized parties.

bles-A Mankato Citizen Shows How
to Cure Them.
Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from lame, weak OF
aching back they think that it is only
muscular weakness; when urinary
trouble sets in they think it will soon
correct itself. And so it is with all
the other symptoms of kidney dis
orders. That is just where the danger
lies. You must cure these troubles or
they lead to diabetes of Bright's dis
ease. The best remedy to use is Doan's
Kidney Pills. 1t cures all ills which are
caused by weak or diseased kidneys.
