number of years with the Crooks
ton Lumber company, who disappear
ed from that city last fall and who for
months has been given up for dead,

At least he was in that city the day
before Decoration day as letter was
received at Crookston yesterday from
Albert johnson by his brother Gustav
Johnson, son of J. A. johnson to the
effect that the missing young man had
been seen the day before the letter
was written on the streets of San
Francisco.
The fact that Albert johnson work.
ed for the Crookston Lumber company

little chance for any mistake. The
letter gave no particulars, but the
writer stated that the news would

SENIOR CLASS PLAY
Was A HUGE
SUCCESS
Given Tuesday Evening-Com-
mencement is to Be Held
Tonight at 8 O'Clock.

Last night in the high school audi
forum the annual play OF the senior
class was given before large and
appreciative audience. Long before
the beginning OF the play the building
was crowded to the doors by friends
and acquaintances of the seniors and
those taking part in the play. The
play. Among the Breakers" was the
best ever given by the school. This
is probably due to the faithfulness of
those taking part and those who
trained the young actors. Every one
portrayed their parts to perfection
and left little room for Improvement
Gunda Dahl as Mother Carey was en-
ceptionally good. she got into the
spirit OF her part and consequently
the part OF the reputed fortune teller
was played we'll. Amer Lukkason as
David Murray was also good. He had
hard part to play, but this did not
brighten him and so he rose to the
occasion last evening and acted the
part OF the william we'll. Wallace Hol-
ley as Bruce Hunter, and Ed Nell
raith as Larry Devine gave a good
portrayal of their parts. Walter
Quigley in the part Of Scud the col
ored servant made a hit with the audi
ence. George Benson took the part
OF Peter Paragraph. the newspaper
reporter. and was right at home. The
part was interpreted in first class
style. and as true to life as the regu-
lar reporter. Mr.. Benson's experience
as newspaper reporter served him
in good stead last night Adolph
Banick as Clarence Hunter, the young
man with tendency toward falling
in love. did his part to perfection.
Aura Hitler. as the beautiful Minnie
Daze.' and Margery Ryan as Bess
Starbright were 500. both portraying
their parts to the best advantage pos
sible.
Much credit for the success of the
play is due to the work of the Misses
Charles, Weeks and Macdonald. This
trio OF teachers worked INCREASINGLY
to make the play a success. They
received reward for their work in
the excellent production given last
night. Louis Ryan also had his share
in the outcome of the play. He acted
the part of stage manager and is to
be >complimented on the manner in
which he handled the stage and the
scenery
A quartet composed of Messrs.
Brown, Burnett. Booth and belong
sang two beautiful numbers between
acts.

life of men and women is made a
special point, as there is no opportun-
ity for it except in connection with the
associations
Contests in outdoor sports are held
on holidays and leagues have been or
ganized for ten-pins. chess, baseball
and other games. There are educa-
tional classes in Spanish and mechan-
icaI drawing. Bible classes have been
organized and Sundy gospel meetings
are held which are well attended.
The work has given a speedy uplift
in the sentiment of the men against
vice and immortality. Gambling has
decreased. Sunday observance has
been encouraged and in three of the
towns leading saloon keepers are re-
ported to have lost SO per cent of their
business. Visitors are impressed with
the fact that the work has gotten
hold of things The man do not see
how they ever got along without it.
Many have said they would not have
stayed there but for the associations;
which provide the only places of re-
sort, except the saloons and places of
vice. The government is doing every
thing it can for the moral uplift and
social welfare of the men. 1t is regu-
lating the saloons and the police force
is doing good work.

WORTHY OF CHARITY.
Purity Children's Home Wants New
or Second Hand Furniture.
To the Topeka state Journal.


We wish to correct a mistaken I'M
preston that the new Children's home
at 1900 Topeka avenue, is an adjunct OF
the Chfttenton home work. This nome
is In no way connected with the crit
tenton Home mission, but stands alone
by itself, and is known as the Purity
Children's home
As has been stated before, this home
is to help any parent left alone, and
compelled to go out into the world TO
earn support for their children.
Wednesday young refined wife and
mother came to us. Three weeks ago
she was left alone with a year old
babe, to battle with the world. Never
before had 1t been necessary for her 10
even think of how she was being pro-
vided for. Now she is thrown on her
own resources for herself and her
child's support. She was apparently
helpless but said: II must learn some
thing and work for our support, and L
child while am at work. Do you think
you can help me?"
This home has been organized and
placed before the people, that they. may
needed to give aid to those who are sud
denly thrown upon their own resources
that they may be helped to support
themselves and their children, and In
this way keep parent and child to-
gether. We must, if possible, help this
young wife and mother, but We can do
nothing of ourselves, but must have
the cooperation of the good people OF
this city. We have done what we could
by renting this little cottage. The
money paid to us by the mother for
the care of the first child for the first
month paying the rent and getting to-
gether a few things has made 1t pos
sible to begin the work

DOUBLES THE CAPITAL,
Prairie Oil & Gas Co. Pays $5,O5O for
Stock Increase.

The Prairie Oil & Gas company
was yesterday granted permission by
the state charter board to increase its
capital stock from ten to twenty mil
lion dollars and that in the face of
the fight which is being made by At
torney General jackson to force the
company from the state. The applica-
ton for the increase in capital stock
was made by Attorney J. B. F. Gates
of independence who refused to dis
cuss the custer proceedings which
have been instituted against the COM
pany, other than to say:
This move is purely a business
move on the part of the Prairie Oil
& Gas company and in keeping with
the. increased business of the concern
which demands larger capital stock
for the purpose of handling the in
crease in business. In arriving at
their conclusion to increase the capt.
tai stock of the company the direc-
tors did not take into consideration
the fact that custer proceedings have
been commenced against the company
by the attorney generals office"
There is not a crying demand that
the company shall be ousted from the
state and the attitude of the independ
ent operators when the proceedings
were commenced indicates that they
are in a large measure dependent on
this branch of the Standard Oil mono
poly for pipe line facilities. Attorney
General Jackson does not care to
GUST the company from the state but
has brought the action to force it to
conform with the laws of the state
1t is alleged that the company has
constantly violated the laws of Kan
sas and the action brought a few
weeks ago was for the purpose of
compelling it to respect these statutes.
At the time the suit was commenced
under the antitrust law delegation
of independent operators from south
eastern Kansas protested against the
prosecution of the suit, their conten-
ton being that if the Prairie Oil &
Gas company is ousted from Kansas
that the Independent companies will
be seriously hampered in handling

that appeal, it coming from a home
that is almost as bare as this little
cottage. Small as it was, we appreci
ated that quarter for we knew what
was lacking in dollars and cents was
made up in the love that was sent with
it, for it was sent in memory of the
little one that had laid away from that
home on Thanksgiving day.
1t is upon the foundation of love this
home is to be built, and we know when
others see the great need of such
home as this, enough will come into it
to assist all who may need it
We need nearly everything it takes
to furnish a four room cottage, but es-
pecially if we are to aid this mother
that has come to US, will we need inn
mediately two single iron beds, two
iron cribs and bedding.
We put this work before the people
and hope this Christmas day those who
are enjoying around their own fireside
an unbroken family circle, may remem-
Der those who are less fortunate and
send into this cottage what is needed
to make it a home, that we may pro-
perly care for these little ones.
