Evangelist Asked to Come
to MankatO
he CAN DELIVER THE GOODS
That Is the Way He Expresses It; He
Meets tbs Modern Religious
Conditions.
From Saturdays Daily.

from SATURDAY DAILY.
Rev. William A. Sunday delivers the
goods" This is the way that Sunday
himself puts, it to those who want his
services and therefore he can name his
own terms.
Last night number of gentlemen
met to discuss the advsability of in
viting the noted evangelist to come to
Mankato and fight the devil here and
put to rout the evil spirits. The con-
ference was held in the Y. NJ. C. A. build
ing and among those present were G. M.
Palmer. DR.. J. w. Andrews, w. w.
Davis, Humphrey Roberts, NJ. G. Will
lard, w. r. Geddes, A. c.. Gran, Rev.
w. E. Evans, Rev. B. V. Black, Rev.
Heermance, j. T.. Hart, Rev. f.. NJ. Mar
tinson, Rev. Peter Clare, and several
Others.
Sundays methods were thoroughly dis
cussed and the prejudices that existed in
the minds of several of the men present
were dismissed. TWAS shown that Sunday
possessed the ability to meet modern re-
ligious conditions In other words he can
make good. Those gentlemen who heard
Sunday at Worthington few nights
since were greatly impressed with him
as an evangelist. They regard him as
the strongest man in the evangelistic
fields today. His methods are lost sight
of in the earnestness with which he
pleads the cause of God.
After general discussion the qnes-
ton of inviting Sunday to come TO
Mankato was voted on, and it carried
unanimously by rising vote.
The action of last evenings conference
will be laid before the church congrega-
tions tomorrow morning for their app
prevail or rejection.
Those interested hope to be able to
secure Sundays services during October,
1907. In fact that is the only date
that is being considered.

Cause of the Death Of Little
Child.
MEDICINE THAT DIDN'T s00TH
The More Patent Liquid That Was
Given Girl, Worse She Got; Died
in Commissions.
From Thursdays Daily.

Morphine poisoning as result of
having been given too much of Mrs.
Winslow's soothing syrup is the cause
of death inserted by Coroner Kennedy
in the burial permit issued yesteday
afternoon to Joseph Veigel, residing at
l62 Adams street, for the burial of has
little girl, whose age was one year and
seven months. The child's death Oc-
Cured yesterday. All of the children i'm
the family had been sick with the
measles, hut no doctor was employed.
The youngest child was much weaken
ed by the disease, although she recover
ed from it, and to give her more rest
the parents on tuesday evening bought
a bottle of the soothing syrup.
1t is said that the essential feature
of the patent medicine put up in Mrs.
Winslow's name is morphine, as that is
a strong drug that has ,quieting eff
feet. acting powerfully upon the system.
The Veigels administered some of this to.
the child, and as the little ones system
was already undermined by the disease
the effect upon it was very marked.
The morphine acted as a poison and the
child was thrown into commissions. Then
Vi Tile Slul as gwen hCI w
.sooth her, and the added poison mace
her worse. The parents lin their 'ignor
ance of the component parts of the
drug thought that they were doing the
proper thing to keep on giving the child
more, and before it died yesterdays3they
had given it the greater part oil the. bot
tie. -sNsssf -Fs--- ga a. .fTtF4%f
The undertaken declined to bury the
child without permit, and Coroner
Kennedy was called. He in turn called
City Health officer Edwards, and the
two made an investigation of the cause
of death. The statement of the parents
as to what they had done was sufficient
to convince the physician without max
ing a post mortem examination, and he
advised the coroner to fill in the burial
permit as was done.
The officials will take no further
steps, as the parents of the dead child
are Frustrated with grief. They should,
of course. have called a competent phys
ieian, to treat the child. instead of de-
pending upon patent medicines, but
they did What they thought was best.
The funeral was held this afternoon, the
intefment being made at Calvary eeme-

DEFIED THE BUNCH
Martin County Farmer Runs Light
ming Rod Crowd off Place.

The Fairmont Sentinel tells of
plucky Martin county farmer who got
the best of gang of lightning rod
crooks. The Sentinel says:
"a few days ago John Tietje, of Ten
hassen, gave an order to some lightning
rod agents, supposing that the amount
of consideration was $2S, and the un.
derstanding was that the RAIDS were to
be delivered in March. A more care
full scrutiny of the contract revealed the
fact that he was liable for $3.50, and the
very next day five men came to the
place to put up the rods. He ordered
them off the place, and when they de-
INJURED he made prompt use of his tele
phone. Presently some of the neighbors
arrived and the lightning roll gang, not
fancying their ominous looks and actions
decamped peaceably. We understand
that Mr.. Tietje secured the contract and
tore it up, and seems to be well on of
a deal that threatened to be pretty eX-
ECnsive for him."

EXPECTS A BATTLE
Railroad May Fight the New Com
modify Rates.

- w. +. Young, of the railroad and ware
house commission, expresses the opin-
ion that the railroads of the state will
make a vigorous fight against the new
schedule of commodity rates which the
commission is now preparing, says The
st. Paul Dispatch.
Mr.. Young does not say so in as many
words, but it is implied from his re-
marks that the railroads have given the
commission to understand that the aid
of the courts will be brought in an eff
fort to knock the proposed reduction
out. Their past action he says is one
thing on which he bases his prediction.
The commission is still engaged in
compiling the new schedule and hopes to
have it ready by the early part of next
week. The members refused to say
what the amount of the reduction will
be, but it is understood that it will be
in excess of 25 per cent.
