Many Ministers in Favor of
Continuing City Revival a
Longer Time.
MUCH GOOD BEING DONE
DIR. ELLIOTT LAST NIGHT SPOKE
ON SUBJECT "WHAT SHALL A
MAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR
HIS SOUL"

The evangelistic services in the
various churches of the city are at
tracing widespread attention and do
ing great good and it is very probab BILE
that when Sunday comes, which is
the day set for closing the simultan-
eous city campaign, that, several
churches will decide to continue their
meetings for several weeks. The in
terest in the meetings has reached
point where many of the ministers
are loath to stop them as they think
that since the interest is so high that
great good can be accomplished II
the meetings are continued.
Rev Dr. Elliott spoke at the First
Presbyterian church last night to a
crowd that completely filled the audi
torium, and it is expected that the
building will not begin TO hold the
people, when he speaks there again
tonight.
DR. Elliott took for his text last
night poprtion of Mark 8: 1857,
What shall a man give in exchange
for his soul" The sermon was en-
tirely characteristic of the evangelist
and he stated that in the devised
version of the New Testament the
word soul was changed to the word
life, and the indications are that
Jesus looked upon the life here in
this world and the life in the hereaf-
ter as one life. With him the pre-
sent life took on a new dignity, and
part of the greater life which lies
beyond this This soul life is a
reality 1t can be deI~aded and ruin
ed by sin 1t will find its true free
dom in the son of God and its value
in infiLite.
Dr. Elliott will speak tonight up.

OPTION CONTRACT SIGNED.
Other Tub Factory Removal Contract
Goes to G. n. Hisss for Approval. y
From TueSdav'S Daily

There no longer seems to be any rea-
son. to fear that the tub factory deal
will not so through. Yesterday after
noon the option contract for the prop
erty was signed by the owners of the
land which is to be purchased. The con-
tract between the syndicate that is to
take the present factory site off of the
hands OF the company and the latter has
been sent to General Manager Higgs for
his approval. When that has been signed
there will be nothing wanting except to
proceed to carry out the contracts. The
city has complied with every request,
and there is no reason why work OH the
new building should not begin at any
time.
The Commercial club is deserving of
much credit for assisting in bringing
about the carrying out of this matter
1t assures the erection of the factory in
the city, and at the same time gives it
much better location and will throw
OPEN for residence purposes some very
desirable lots and greatly benefit prop
erty for some distance around. The city
council is also to be commended, as well
as the members of the syndicate, who
are risking their money in order to Sc.
cure the carrying out of the deal.

RATE REDUCTION.
The Railroad Commission Make Ii
Effective on Oct. 8.

From TUESDAY DAILY.
The railroad rate reduction order goes
out and is effective OH October Sth.
The reduction averages about twenty
per cent. As yet the railroads have
appeal OF accept the reduction.
Commissioner Staples of the railroad
and warehouse commission, speaking of
the matter to the Minneapolis Journal
said:
"The railroads are given thirty days
before the order becomes effective, for
two reasons: The first is that the re-
duction is general and involves changes
in joint rates, both within 'and outside
the state. 1t will be necessary for the
roads to confer with each other, back
and forth and will take some time to
adjust things. The second reason is that
the roads have thirty days in which to
appeal and therefore we might as well
allow thirty days before it becomes eff
fective" -
The copies served on each company
are IDENTICAL except for the names. The
order declares that the terminal and dis
tance freight rates on merchandise now
charged by the roads, on Glasses |, 2,
3, 4, 5, A, b, C, ID and E, as shown
by the western classification" are I'M
reasonable, and that the rates as shown
in the accompanying schedule are rea-
sOnable maximum rates for terminal or
stations, and that rate of
5 per cent higher is reasonable as a dis
lance tariff between other stations. 1t
is therefore ordered that no rates be-
tween stations in Minnesota be changed
any higher than those in the schedule.
An important point is involved in this
sentence:
"This order does not prevent the
of lower rate than that pro,
yided by exhibit A, but in case less
rate is charged on one class, all classes
must be reduced so as to preserve the
relative relations between classes fixed
i'm exhibit A."
The schedule gives rates at five mile
up to 200 miles, then at ten.
mile intervals to 500. Distances not
found in the table will take rates for
the nearest distance shown in the tar
iff, and when on the dividing line they
may take the next higher rate.
The schedule served on the railroad
is identical with that printed
in The Journal Sept. 2, except that the
rates on some of the lower classes are
stated in three figures instead >of two.I
The first class rates are identical, and
the same ratio is preserved. The figures
are carried out to a distance of 500
miles

DEATH OCCURRED SUNDAY.
Something Of the Active Life Of the
Late J. A. Masters.

The death of j. A. Masters occurred
Sunday at 900 a. IN. at the soldiers
home at Minnehaha, of old age. He had
been failing for some time, and his son.
Charles NJ Masters, had been called
three times to his bedside, us it was
feared each time that he was dying. He
had been in the soldiers home for three
or four months, prcferring to go there
|than to st. .Josephs hospital. He had
la private room and Il nurse, and the
best of care.
Mr.. Masters was born in England and
came to America when twenty years of
age He located at Two Rivers, Wis,
and lived there most of the time. Ii
was there that he was married. His
wife died eighteen years ago May 18th
last. He enlisted i'll the army in Wis
consin, and after his discharge came to
this county and started Il cooper shop at
Red jacket in connection with the mill
there. In those days sacks had not
come into use, wages were low and the
cooperage business was a profitable one.
Later he went to GAINESVILLE and con-
Quoted a cooper shop, and then returned
and organized the Cooperative Cooper
Co., which did business ON South Front
street until the Creamery Package Man
ufacturing Co. started its tub factory
in the city. This forced him to retire
and he did not again engage in bust
ness.
Funeral services will be held at ten
o'clock tomorrow forenoon at the resi-
dence of c. M. Masters, 3l5 Cherry street,
and the interment will take place at
Glenwood cemetery, beside the remains
of the wife of the deceased. Wilkin post
