THE WRONG SPIRIT.

THE late Sir William Henry Perkm,

Philadelphia chemist, had a singular
ly lucid mind. once heard him talk
ing about the missionary movement.
Sir William had been for years a
warm supporter of this movement, and
he praised it highly; but he condemned
certain phases of it, illustrating the
phase he meant by a quotation from a
letter-a letter written by the notable
Captain Davis to Secretary Walsing-
ham about the conversion of the in
dams.
The letter ran:
If these people (the Indians) were
once brought over to the Christian
faith they might soon be brought to

CROW WING COUNTY COURT
CONvENES AT BRAINERD
Judge Spooner Presides---No Grand
Jury Has Been Called, Is a
Notable Feature.

A regular term of district
court for Grow Wing county con-
vened at Brainerd this morning,
over which Judge Marshall A.
Spooner of this city is presiding:
Information from Brainerd is
to the effect that the term will
undou btedly be a short one,
there being but few cases on the
calendar.
A notable feature of the term
is the fact that no grand jury
will be called, there being no
criminal matter for the attention
of that body. It is said that this
is the first time in twenty years
when a grand jury was not called
at a term of court in Grow Wing
county.
Judge Spooner arrived in
Brainerd last evening, coming
direct from the twin cities, where
he and his wife have been visit
ing for the past two weeks.
Court Stenographer Cameron
went to Brainerd this morning
to officiate as reporter during
the term.

was not a dull moment in the
play. It was we'll staged and re-

the prices of admission charged.
There are very few shows that
come to this city which show
more talent than was displayed
last night. Mr.. Daniels and his

they are both stars. They were

was the absolute lack of any
thing bordering on the smutty
order. The specialties between
the acts we're amusing in a clean,

thing coarse or bordering on the

it's absence. --.. III
