the northern part. Shortly after the

last century the Astors established

The earliest Protestant missionary
work was by Baptists in 1852 and by
missionaries of the American Board

missionaries paid for their devotion

A Roman Catholic missionary was
sent to the region north of Grand
Forks shortly after 1860 to care for
the scattered people of that faith.
Methodist preaching was done in
Fargo in n and the First M. Il. church
was organized in 1874.
The Presbyterian church at Bis
marck was organized the same year
and is said to be the oldest Protest
ant church in the state.
The first Presbyterian minister to
hold services in Fargo was Mr. Ell
mer who came over from Moorhead
in 1879. He was pastor there, and
the Presbyterians Went TO Moorhead
to worship.
The Catholics did the same till 1880.
Indeed Moorhead bore a. different re-
lationship in those days from what
she does In these days Then she fur

WOMEN OF MISSOURI WILL
TRY TO SAVE MRS. MYERS
BELIEVE HORRIBLE MISTAKE
is BEING MADE AND WILL
BEG GOVERNOR TO PARDON
HER.

LIBERTY, Mo, June 25.-The
expression of thIr belief in the in
nocence of Mrs. Aggle Myers, SEN
fenced to hang on June %, by a
number of prominent Missouri
women, has led to an effort to
bring about concerted action for
the purpose of influencing Gov.
Folk to commute the sentence.
Mrs. Myers has continually pro-
tested that she is innocent and de-
clares that a horrible mistake is
being made. Ii is thought that it
is only her belief that she will be
free that is keeping her up under
the strain.
Among the women interested in
the case is Mrs. Jennie Woodson,
widow of an ex-governor of Mis-
souri,. After reading the accounts
Of the crime on the day after the
murder, Mre. Woodson remarked:
How pity that poor woman!
She will surely be arrested"
This remark was made solely on
account of observation in the past,
that when husband or wife has
been mysteriously murdered, the
remaining partner, naturally the
last to do such a deed. rs usually
the first one suspected. Her SYM
patty naturally went out to Mrs.
Myers from the first
mo woman ever attempted to
clean up the traces of that murder.
Mrs. Woodson said. The leaving
of a basin of bloody water under
the stove was the work of some
man, as were the other clumsy eff
forts to make way with the tracks
OF the murder.
THE theory that she had hidden
the jewelry was no ground for sus-
picion. In her excitement it was
natural that she might forget.
When told of its discovery she
remarked right away:
