BILLY SUNDAY MAY
COME TO MiN0T
The Man Who Stirs Up Souls and
Makes p 6p'e Lead Better Lives
May ,Gk,,e Next Year-How
Sundd Goes After Souls

An effort will be made among
the ministers OF Minot next year
to secure the evangelist VIM.
Sunday, to hold services in Minot.
Sunday is doing q great work in
the religious field OF Illinois and
Iowa, and would certainly stir
up things in Minot generally.
Sunday goes after souls Just like
II grocer goes after business. He
has everything arranged priorto
the opening Of the big meeting.
He has a committee raise money
for a large tabernacle. This is a
large wooden structure, large
enough to hold several thousand
people. The lumber is the cheap
est kind, and is always placed in
the building in such IL way that
it can be used to good advan-
tage after the meetings are over.
Sunday never asks a salary, but
reserves the right to keep the
collection on the last night fhis
meetings. Sometimes on this
last night he gets a collection Of
$4,000. At Sterling, III. he sue
ceeded in saving 1000 souls in
one series Of meetings.
The saloon element always
opposes him at the beginning OF
the meetings. Even the preachers
are not always in favor ofhiscom-
ing, in their city, invading their
territory so to speak. He goes
after gambling, dancing and card
parties. He wins souls. He is a
magic power in the pulpit. He
gets in earnest and off comes his
coat. The Precipitation stands
on his forehead. The people lean
forward to hear every word the
man Sunday has to say. He does
not use such eloquent language,
tho he's a great talker. He's
soul inspiring. When the invita-
tion comes for the men and
women to take Il stand for the
right, crowds throng forward.
Sunday was a base ball player,
having once been pitcher for a
Chicago league team. He is YET
interested in the National game
to some extent, but spends his
whole time in Evangelistic work.
If Minot secures Billy Sunday,
the Independent predicts that
gambling tables will be smashed
into kindling wood. Cards and
dancing clubs will be converted
into societies for the relief OF
widows and orphans, and our
police force will stand reduc-
ton.

sell your land or make a loan on
the same, call on or write Briggs.

Trapped BY Prairie Fire.

Dickinson Cor. st. Paul Pioneer Press.
William Tews, German farmer living
In the vicinity of Chalk Buttes, had u
thrilling experience in prairie fire which
started near the buttes and was carried
rapidly southwark by high wind. Tews
was blowing in "A field when he noticed
the opproach of the fire, and Immediately
undertook to save his farm property byA
backhring.
just as he started the second fire the
wind veered suddenly and he found him
self completely surrounded by flames.
There was no possible way to break
through the encircling ring of fire, so
Tews threw himself face downward upon
the ground and the fire rushed over his
body. His clothing was burned from his
body, and his arms and limbs were ter
ribly charred. His right hand will have
to be amputated, and there are small
hopes of his recovery. The fire continued
to sweep onward and burned his farm,
containing ten head of live stock his
farm implements and the grain he had
saved for winter use.
Mrs Tews found her husband lying
unconscious in the field and succeeded in
dragging him into the house, where med
ical aid was summoned.
AS the flames continued southwark they
gained momentum, and John Anderson. q
homesteader, who had been In the coun-
try but three days, found himself sur

his claim when the fire caught him. His
clothes were burned partly off and his
shoes entirely burned, leaving him bare

face, hands and limbs, but 1t is thought
that he will recover. although he is now

L the great Illinois Central system Is
the rise of j. T. Harahan, successor To
Stuyvesant Fish. Mr. Harahan was porn
at Lowell Mass, in 1913. When Il years
old he became a track laborer on the
Orange & Alexandria railroad In Virginia.
He drifted to Nashville, Tenn, where
he held various jobs on the LOUISVILLE
and Nashville road In 1872 he secured the
position of roadmaster of the Nashville
and Decatur line From 1879 to 1881 he
was superintendent of the Memphis d.
vision of the Louisville and Nashville.
He was gradually promoted until In
July, 1854, he was made general manager
of the Louisville and Nashville system.
He held that position only six months,
leaving the road because of trouble with
President NJ. l.. Smith. For three months
he was general superintendent or the
Pittsburg division of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. During this time the diff
ferences between him and the president
of the Louisville and Nashville were adj
1usted and he returned to 1t as assistant
general manager in April. 1855.
The peace agreement between Presi-
dent Smith and Mr.. Harahan was short
lived On October l, 1885, Mr.. Harahan
finally severed his connection with the
Louisville and Nashville and came to Chi
cago as assistant general manager OF the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern rail-
road.
John Newell was then its president and
his arbitrary methods did not result In
congenial relations between him and Mr..
Harahan. After staying few months
on the Lake Shore Mr.. Harahan accepted
the position of general manager Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad Things
there were not at all to his liking and
he resigned after Gerry short time.
Mr.. Harahan's next step was on the
highway leading directly to prosperity,

scope of our work very much.
'In order TO do this, first of all, there
ought to be no obstacle in the way of in

should be provided for the establishment
of at least two kinds of workshops, one
for woodwork and another for leather, so
that we could train the boys for different
and useful occupations; and the girls
should be taught calgraphy and teleg-
raphy. and other occupations suitable to
fl them for useful and profitable places in
the world. All these things, In addition to
