CONSIDERABLE HUMBUG
(Iowa Falls Citizen.)

Billy Sunday closed series of
meetings at Fairfield recently and ac-
cording to the newspaper reports he
converted some 1000 people and coll
lected number OF thousand dollars as
"a free will offering for his services.
An analysis of Sundays work re-
veals number of things about which
there Is little difference opinion, per !.
haps. He interests the outside people
by two methods severe and ex-
church and sort of gymnastic,
gyrating circus performance. Some like
to hear him lambast the other fellow
and some go for the same reason that
they go to a TO- 20 and 80 cent show
The effect on church people seems di-g
visible into three classes. Some are
angered and disgusted, some are
Inundated and suffer contrition, and
some more self righteous are affected
In the; same way that water affects the
back of a. duck.
The general effect on the community
is a great furore, strife, anger, ill-feel-
ing, enmity and a few real conversions.
The same effect takes place in the
churches Wherever Sunday goes he
wins warm friends and bitter enemies.
The good done is largely if not en-
tifelya offset by the bad results en-
gendered. Not all people will agree
with these conclusions but many. will
But to revert to the two star Items
the number of conversions and the
collections, here are what seem tosus to
be two colossal humbugs. The report
Of 2, 900 conversions means practically
nothing. Sunday goes to the printing
office. and gets sofpe cards printed,
thousands of them, which are to be
signed by attendants at the meetings.
The vilest sinner that ever came down
the road could sign one of those cards
and never deviate a hairs, breadth
from the straight and rocky road that
leads to hell All the card asks is that
you would like to live better life
than what you do. Anybody couldtsign
such document without conversion
and without batting an eye. Again,
these cards are largely signed by chill
dren. This talk Of a thousand or two
thousand real conversions is a huge
fake. Sundays meetings at Iowa Falls
a number Of years ago gave no such
results. The hundreds or conversions
could allSbe counted on one mans fin
gers. ss3s ~ 9 p

DISASTROUS FIRE

Pierre, S. ID. Mar. q. Last night
little after midnight fire was dis

front rooms, and he was reused and
dressed and carried to the residence

turned in, and in a space so short
that it seems increditable, the de-
partment was on hand and three
streams of water turned on. This
was too much for the blaze, although
it was fierce one being in the raft
ers over the building and hard to get
at on account of the tin roof. The
damage to the building is quite a
good deal, covered by insurance.
The damage to Mr. Nye and family
and other roomers was also a good
sum. the water and smoke dong
more damage than the flames. Mr.
Clifford suffered a severe loss. His
business is paralized and much stock
ruined. He had only light insur-
ance, 81 800 and the loss fell heavier
on him than any one else.

rise in the Missouri.
At Huron, S. D. the stage Of the

foot stage at this point is the flood
stage. North of Huron in North
Dakota the river is frozen yet, the
ice not having gone out.

winter.
Let the teachers and pupils of our
public schools on this day plant trees
upon school grounds and campus
and in the public parks. and also
prepare and execute fitting literary
and musical programs.

effect that Governor Crawford at
tempted to procure title to govern
ment land by fraudulent means:
When | made statement to the
newspapers on March % | had not

Mch Is, which contained a statement
by Congressman James R. Mann, of

tween one McEniry, special agent

superiors concerning certain filings

ty. this state, and attempts to have
me indicted last year; which state
ment sets out copy of a proported
affidavit made by Thomas H. Thomp-
son and an unsigned affidavit claim
ed to embody an oral statement by
Harry c. Lampe.
Monstrous FaIsehoods
Regarding this correspondence
and these statements, my answer is
that a more monstrous string of
false assumption was never before
presented to the puplic against any
man in like manner. 1t has remain
ed for a congressman under the
privilege given to him to say any
thing he likes, under the guise of
free speech, with a right to print
matter in the Record after congress
has adjourned when opportunity to
reply is gone--to surpass all his fell
lows in sweeping recklessness of
statement.
Governor Crawford then describes
the circumstances surrounding his
filing upon a claim in Walworth
county, and assisting a couple of
yGung men to file on adjoining land.
None of them completed proof how
ever. Then followed two trials in
the y. S. district court against the
Governor for fraudulent land entries
Both juries acquitted him, He
