RELIEF LISTS
CLOSED
Big Hcartedness Of the Citizens Of
Grand Forks Evidenced in Their
Contributions to the Relief Fund for
San Francisco Sufferers.

The lists which have been in hold
ing for Grand Forks people desiring
to contribute for the relief OF the suf-
ferers in the recent disasters at
San Francisco, Cal, and which, by
the way. were very literally patron
lied by the general public, sum ap-
proximating $4,000 having been raised,
will be closed up this evening and the
money forwarded to the Red Cross
society for distribution.
Up to Sunday evening about $1,000
was raised and to this must be added
the sum of about $175 which was real
lied from the benefit performance CIV
en- at the Metropolitan opera house
last evening. Grand Forks has GER
tainly responded nobly to the call of
the stricken for relief, and it is a
testimonial to the big-heartedness of
her citizens that they should volun-
tarily contribute SO large an amount.
The first installment of 81 200 which
was sent forward several days ago,
reached its point of destination ali
right, and George B. Winship, chair
man OF the soliciting committee, has
received an acknowledgment from the
officers of the Red Cross society, which
has headquarters at Washington, D. C.
On the receipt were written these
words: THE Red Cross wishes to ex-
press it's sincere appreciation of the
contribution of the citizens of Grand
Forks"

Neil Leaves for Bloomington, ILL.,,
After REPRESENTATION Games TO
he Played South First.

At last the question of baseball in
this city is settled. The matter has
been up in the air for some time, and
the perseverance of M. Stanchfield has
been largely instrumental in keeping
the matter intact.
Yesterday Prof. Brannon and Mr..
Dinnie of the committee to solicit
funds got busy and secured subscrip-
tions to the amount of 1900 for the
baseball team. Mr. Dinnie is out of
the city today, but tomorrow he will
finish the work and will be able to
raise the entire amount required,
which is $4,000.
Manager Mcneil left today for
Bloomington, ILL.,. where seven of the
players are located, to complete ar
rangements with them for the season
He will assemble the entire team in
Minneapolis next Sunday, and next
week they will play exhibition games
at Lacrosse, Faribault and series of
games at Watertown. The team will
not be able to reach this city until
May r.
The first four games will be played
at Winnipeg SO that the local team
will not appear on the home diamond
until May 81. The first games of the
season will be played in the old Uni
versity park, but in short time the
directors of the new park will meet
and arrange for it's building.

AS SEEN FROM
THE PULPIT
Rev. j. N. Beadles, Pastor of First NJ.
E. Church. Scores Sunday Baseball
But Objects to the sBig Stick.
Toted by the Church Discipline.

Rev. J. NJ. Beadles, pastor of the
First M. E. church, in his Sunday night
sermon on The Church and Its
Amusements." scored Sunday baseball
as not being conducive to the proper
keeping of the Sabbath. He made the
excuse, however. that laboring men,
clerks and others who have to work
six days in the week without an OPP
portunity for proper recreation, are
not to be severely censured for wish
ing to attend a baseball game on the
seventh day. "The time will come,
believe" said the speaker. when en-
plOyers in the west will follow the
custom of the Saturday half holiday,
as recognized by those of the east.
There will be no excuse then for
working people attending Sunday ball
games.
On the subject Of the church and its
ainusements Rev. Beadles created
something Of q stir when he gave it
as his opinion that that paragraph in
the discipline Of the Methodist Episco-
pal church. relating to dancing, thea
tire going, etc. ought to be advisory.

created sensation on Sunday even
ing at the Great Northern depot at
Larimore by attempting to shoot one
w. NJ. Wimberly, rival for the hand
and heart of Phyllis Mcbride, hand
some Octoroon, though the possessor
of very common name. is a very
uncommon colOred gentleman
To begin with he is about a foot
taller than the average male species
of the human race. reaching stature
close to the sevenfoOt mark. When
asked at the county Jail how it was
he happened to miss hitting the OBJ
ject of his aim each time he shot, he
laughed.
why, do you sposn dat /, sojer

Cunnel Roosevelt, one of de best
known sharpshooters in Cuba in de
wah wifi Spain, wud miss my man if

Jones insists that he only shot at
Kimberly to scare him and that both
bullets were headed heavenward and
not anywhere near the man who will
probably be instrumental in sending
him to Jail for a term.
Jones claims to have been sharp
shooter in the colored regiment which
did such excellent duty at the battle
of San Juan hill in the late war with
Spain. He scouts the idea that he
wanted to harm Winberly He now
languishes in the county Jail, in Hotel
de Turner, where he will probably
remain until the next term Of the dis
trict court. He is about 26 or q years
of age. and somewhat inclined to be
jovial.

A CONTRASTIl'E1D
SCENE
Unusual Sight at Great Northern
Depot Monday Evening" Funeral
Cortege Alights From One End Of
Train While Wedding Party Boards.

The deep drawn line between incOn-
trolable grief and uncontrolled plea
sure was portrayed in a rather I'M
usual manner at the Great Northern
depot in this city Monday evening,
when as ]. ]. Hills Oriental Limited,
train No. !, drew into the station.
there alighted from one end the grief
sticken relatives of prominent and
well-known Grand Forks man, whose
bier now casts a pail of blackness and
distress in at least one home, while
there boarded at the other end of the
train happy, gladstone and care-free
wedding party.
With the former it mayhap have
seemed the world had lost its hope
for the future, leaving dark and
desert waste stretching far off to the
horizon, while with the latter there
seemed no III to betide or sorrow to
o'ercast their JOY.
Scenes of this kind cause the OBJ
server to stop and ponder. For many
people-most people, perhaps-this is
world of extremes, either the cup is
full OF happiness, or overlooking with
grief. Some pass through life casual
ly, with no storms to becloud and no
great bursts of sunshine to set the
heart aglOw. But these are the ex-
ception and not the rule. The man
who has the deepest heart is the one
who has experienced the greatest
grief.
There were many heads bowed as
mark of respect to the dead-and
many a smile at the happiness which
others experienced. Verify, this is a
world Of throbs and smiles.

rather than mandatory. as it now is
Christian young people, and older
ones as well, ought to settle these
matters between God and their own
consciences and not be driven by a
big stick in the hands of the church.
Those in earnest in following the
leadership of the Master will of their
own accord drop anything harmful.
Virtues" said the pastor. may be-
come vices if INDUCED in to excess.
This is true even of prayer. So we
must ask these questions of our
selves
What? When? And to what ex-
tent shall we indulge?"

FEARS THE WORsT.

Henry Schultz, whose sister was
among the San Francisco people who
were in the recent earthquake disast
ter, has discovered the name of his
little niece among the list of the dead,
and as kilograms of inquiry remain
unanswered he fears that the entire
family may have persisted The dead
body of the little girl was found about
two blocks from their home, dressed
only in her night clothes.

the people of this city are. He was
passing through the town few days
ago and happened to observe the pass
enger coach which serves as a depot
in this city. Now. it seems that part
of the duty of the official is to trace
up the cars which become lost or in
any manner get out of the service of
the road. Seeing the one here on a
dead track he INDUCED in some de-
cidedly strong talk anent the care
lessness of officials who thus allowed
the property of the company to stand
unused upon the tracks. He ordered
an engineer to attach his, engine to the
coach at once and place it 1upon the
tracks where it would be of some SER
vice to the company. When he dis
covered the conditions he returned 10
his train without a word.

Rock Island, ILL.,, Oct. 12.-Former
Governor Van SAINT Of Minnesota
speaking yesterday before the Nation
al Farmers congress, declared that
the agriculture of the country had not
kept pace with Industrial progress
this being shown by the fact that we
have actually been forced to import
cereals during the past few years.
Free distribution of seeds by ex
press was frowned upon in resolu
tion adopted by the Farmers National
congress. 1t recommended that
money thus spent be devoted to inves
tigating agricultural methods in for
eign lands and introducing them here
through agricultural schools. Other
resolutions urged the consolidation Of
third and fourth class mail matter
with reduction in the rate to 8 cents
per pound. A proposition was intro
