Almost half an hundred new re-

army for the conquest OF this world
for Jesus Christ.
In keeping with this increase was
the large welcome the pastor had
MANNED for these new followers. The

into line and practically the entire
congregation passed along the line
OF the newly received members and
gave them the right hand OF fellow

HELD FoR THE GRAND JURY.

SmalI Amount of Money
From Him.

Count St German, arrested
last wednesday afternoon In his
room at local hotel accused OF
feloniously assaulting an eleven year
old boy by sublecting him to an
'abomination, was given a preliminary
hearing by Magistrate g. a. Gordon
Monday afternoon and at the cons
cIusion was held for action Of the
grand jury. Bond was 4ixed at
$4,000 by the magistrate but the
prisoner could not furnish It ana
was taken back to jail.
A large crowd attended the hearing
and when the Count" {" attired In
Prince Albert coat. high silk hat
and white vest and tie. was led out
OF the court room by three big po-
-licemen, constable and deputy
sheriff, hoots, jeers and angry mute
terings came from the throng. The
oficers hurried him along, however,
and there was no other demonstra-
ton against the portIy prisoner.
When the warrant accusing him
OF the crime against the boy was
read to him and the court asked him
what plea he would enter, che
Count said: mot guilty. OF
course =
The Count" objected to an im-
mediate hearing as he had been un-
able to employ lawyer to defend
him. The court informed him that
he had had plenty OF time to procure
the services of an attorney and that
the examination must proceed.
The little boy. who accuses the
count" Of the serious crime. took
the stand and testified to the occur
renee in the room at the hotel. He
said that the Count beat and slap
ped him several times and tore 9
board from dresser drawer and
beat him with it, compelling him BY
threats to the abomination. he
also told how he finally ran from the
room and notified the hotel employees
and aSso of other incidents mention
OF which has been made before. The
boy said the Count was drunk at
the time.
The Count" was allowed to ques-
ton the boy and&asked him where
he got that As cents he had that af-
ternoon. The count said ChaG Cne
boy stole the money from his pockets
and he spanked him for It.
You stole that IS cents from my
trousers pocket" the Count" said,
"and 1 spanked you for It. and that's
the reason you brought this charge
against me-
The boy said he took the money,
but because the Count" compelled
him to take It, Several questions
asked by the Count were ruled ont
by the court on the grounds that
they were concerning Incidents OF
several days prior to the alleged
crime.
The Count was then placed on
the stand and said:
"I never struck the boy at all and
never i'll used him in the world" He
was emphatic in that statement

LIKE BAGS OF OATS.
Gold Is Stocked Up in the Banks of
Nevada's FL Dorado.

That .Goldfield contains some of
the most valuable mining properties
the world has ever seen cannot be
doubted and is so declared by scores
of mining experts who have made
impartial investigation, and most of
them say that the ground has only
been scratched as yet, says Gold
field correspondent. The result of
this sincere and well-informed Opin-
ion is visible in the fact that from
October 7 to November Z the stock
market values of the shares OF thir-
teen Goldfeld companies increased
over $30,0OO,000. Naturally some
body made a heap of money out of
this phenomenal jump.
In one of the little banks of Gold
field are stacked tiers of bags OF ore.
They look for all the world like bags
of oats.
Late every night when most places
are fast asleep, but when Goldfield's
Tenderloin is just beginning to get
lively, a two-horse team comes in
from the mines with a new load
guarded by three men who know
how to shoot and shoot straight.
Thus the heap grows, tier by tier.
of course it isn't oats at all, but
some of the richest gold ore the
world has ever known. 1t is the Sc
lected high grade of the richest OF
the Goldfield mines, set aside es-
pecially for shipment in one carload.
The owners of the mine say that by
January / there will be a carload OF
it, and that it will be a $1,000,0OO.
So far as is known it will be by far
the most valuable carload of gold
ore ever shipped to the smelters.

The COWS in Connecticut near Kent

it among the COWS. After he had
cut his tobacco he turned his Jer-
seys into the field to see if they
would eat the stalks. For years the
farmers had been afraid to do it,
but Roberts said he'd take the
chance, as it was a shame to 'let
such big green stalks go to waste.
Roberts COWS ate all the stalks
and moored for more. Their milk
was not affected either in color or

WILL MINNEHAHA VANISH :?
SAD FATE THREATENS FALLS
OF LAUGHING WATERS.
Erosion of the Underlying Rock May
Destroy the Beauty of the Spot
Made Famous by the Poem
of Longfellow.
of LongfeHOw.

Oh lIOuSttliOh'
Blessed though this country is
with spots where nature has eXerted
an influence soothing to the wearied
soul, the passing of even one of
these must arouse regret in all save
the most iconoclastic This is es-
Decialy true if the vanishing spot
has a peculiar individuality and is
associated with some feature of our
history or literature around which
there cluster sentiments patriotic or
poetic
1t matters little what be the cause
of the decay, though where the
greed of man is responsible our an
ger as well as our sorrow is stirred.
When we see the power grabbers
rob Niagara of its charm or invade
the solitudes of the Adirondacks to
enrich themselves by utilizing that
which God gave as a boon to man
and as revelation of His omnipo-
tence resentment is strong and the
natural impulse is to cry stop
thief" When nature herself be-
comes weak, when her charms fail
like the whitening rose or the bloom
OF a maiden's cheek, we must &C
cept our loss with resignation, but
we cannot stile the pain.
Who that knows the best there is
in American literature has not felt
himself, as he followed Longfellow
over the trails of Hiawatha into the
land of the Dacotahs, stand beside
that purling stream,
Where the falls Of Minnehaha
CLASH and CLEAN among the oak trees,
Laugh and leap into the valley:
The poets picture is so realistic that
the Indian hunter and his maiden
have become the companions Of our
idle moments when we seek refresh
ment at the fountain of thought
The Indian legend has taken form
and substance and Hiawatha and
Minnehaha have become as real to
us as actual characters in American
history. And when we know the
truth we marvel that the genius of
man could have evolved from mere
study Of a photograph of Minnebaha
falls, and from a reflection upon the

Wealth in Its Seaweed.

Japan, which wastes nothing in
it's domestic economy, realizes So
O0O,O00 annually from its seaweed
products. According to the report
of C. ]. Davidson, an attache of the
British embassy at Tokyo, more than
so varieties of the seaweed found
along the japanese coast are utilized
either for food or as manufactured
products. The traveller sees bundles
of dried seaweed, white with the
crystalized salt of the sea water,
hung from the front of every food
stall The coarser varieties are
stewed and served with fish. Some
of the delicate sprigs of sea grass
are boiled with fish soups and re-
main vivid green, floating against
the red lacquer of the soup bowls.

Americans in Canada.

Within the last II years there has
grown up in western Canada an
American population estimated at
100000 farmers, growers of wheat,
corn and fax, settlers not only i'm
bued with the American spirit of en-
terprise, but devoted to American in
situations. During last year the inn
migration from this country to Can
ada, according to official figures, was
more than $4,000 persons. Today in

legend of theDacOtas, the beautiful
epic which adorns the works OF
Longfellow. 1t was picture of the
falls which inspired the poet; he
never saw them. And he has made
thousands of Americans quite as ia
miliar with the scene as though they
had beheld it.
As one sees the Minnehaha,
Cleaning, glancing through the branches,
As one hears the Laughing Waters,
From behind the screen Of branches.
Therefore the fate which threat
ems Minnebaha falls is a source Of
sorrow to multitudes who have new
err beheld their delicate beauty.
Word comes from Minneapolis that
unless something is done at once the
ledge of limestone over which the
waters of Minnehaha river tumble
will crash down into the rapids and
the falls will become a whirlpool.
The Minnehaha is not a preten-
tious river. 1t flows through the
flower-spangled meadows of Henne-
pin county, Mimi, a purling, gam
boiling thread of silver. Here the
linnet slakes it's thirst and the feet
of the dove are bathed. Weary of
the sunshine it finally spreads itself
over a ledge and like a veil of Cos
samer drops into the cool shades of
a ravine. The fall is so feet. 1t
is not the volume, but the fairy-like
beauty of Minnehaha which gives it
it's charm. 1t is like a sheet of
gauze, so thin that the wall behind
loses little Of it's distinctness and the
rocks upon which the water breaks
are merely refreshed. A lace cur
tain is not more delicate, nor this
tledown more dainty. The rock be-
hind the fall is soft and it has be-
come so eroded that you can walk
beneath the ledge which hangs above
and over which the water flows be-
fore making the leap. The recess is
about four feet deep, put IN some
places it is fifteen feet deep. Into this
you can walk and look outward
through the transparent sheet
1t is this erosion which threatens
the falls. The overhanging ledge
has been growing thinner and thin
ner, year after year, until now en-
gineers say it cannot stand up much
longer under it's own weight and the
weight of the tumbling waters. 1t
is proposed to erect a retaining wall,
but at best this will be a botched
Job and the artifciality will show.
Unless it is done, however, the up
per ledge will crash shortly and the
water, instead of making sheer
leap of 60 feet, will tumble in a
series of cascades and rapids, with
all the picturesqueness and poetic
glamor of the place gone.

TURN FROM WHITE HOUSE
BUT FEW NEGROES ATTENDED
THE NEW YEARS RECEPTION.
Presidents Recent Action in Brown
Vile Riots Has AIienated the
Support of the Blacks to
Groat ENtpnf
Great Extent.

For the first time since President
Roosevelt held his first New Year s
reception at the white house negroes
failed to be the dominating factor
in the thousands who lined up Tues
day to shake the hand of the master
and mistress of the executive man
sion.
At II o'clock the great social
event of the year-the one from
which no one is excluded-began at
the white house. An hour before
the time arrived two or three thou
sand hero worshipers had gathered
on the white house lawn, awaiting
an opportunity to pass through the
white house parlors and receive a
cordial handshake from the presi-
dent of the United States. At that
hOur-two hours before the time for
the reception to the unofficial ele-
ment to begin-there were only two
negroes in the vast throng, while in
previous years there have been hun
dreds. This indicates to what extent
the presidents recent actions in such
matters as the Brownsville riots
have alieniated the support, amount
ing almost to idoliation, previously
given him by the colored element.
