THE DUDLEY MEETING.
Correspondence Orphan Heights starr

Correspondence Orphan Heights STAR
Dudley is a thriving little town on
the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad,
in the midst,of a prosperous section of
in or near the village except the Prim-
tive Baptist, with a very small mem
bership. The Friends and Missionary
!Baptists. have been preaching some at
the school house, out about one-half
mile west of Dudley, bat matters be-
ing somewhat complicated between
them it is very likely that neither of
them will build up a good strong
church there soon. The well known
O'Berry family, consisting of five
brothers, none of whom were members
OF any church, have manifested con-
siderable interest in trying to get some
religious denomination to build a
church in the community. About the
O'Berry heard that Brother John w.
Tyndal1 was holding a series of meet
ings up at Eureka church, about ten
miles away. He went up there n
invited him tt come down to Dudley
and preach one sermon and hold a
series'of meetings later. Brother Tyn-
dali being very busy, as he always is,
would have put Mr.. O'Berry off, but
finding that he was not easily put off
in a matter of so great Importance,
orroo1 ~ ~ " With hic ro1I1oct and
preached a very able sermOn to a large
and appreciative audience at h school
house the 1st of July. The date made
for the beginning of the series of meet
ings was August 10Th, but Brother
Tyndall being unable to get there at
that time, Prof Joseph A. Saunders, of
I. c. College, began the meeting, and
preached five days, till Brother Tyn
dali came, and they together contin-
ued five days more, making a ten days
meeting.
Professor Saunders has not been
preaching but a few months, but he
showed so much skill and ability in
preaching the Gospel, and teaching
LIZ ~ u ia t11ol pow
pie took him to be a minister of sever
al years experience. Brother Tyndall
continued teaching the ONE WAY, a
course of bible studies commenced by
Professor Saunders, which was a very
interesting and profitable feature of
the meeting. His sermons were most
wonderful, and will doubtless bring
about much good to the people of the
community.
At the close of the meeting a spirit of
unity seems to prevail and it is very
probable hat many of the christian
people of other denominations will
unite with the Christian Church in the
near future.
Seven were baptized, some came to
us from other churches, making a
membership of fifteen to organize a
church with. Messrs. Walter c. and

Dear Sir: Todd & Downing, con-
tractors and builders, Morgan City,
La, have painted DeYoe for 8 or 4
years. They say it takes less gall
Ions Devoe thar of any other paint
they have used. That means that a
jobscosts less with Devoe; not only
for paint, for labor as well.
They paint nothing else, Devoe ex-
clusively.
They have said nothing about the
comparative wear of Devoe and
others; oversight, may be, perhaps
too soon for that. But Deyoe is the
strongest paint; that's why least gal.
Ions; best wear, same reason. Least
cost and longest time between jobs.

strong TO stand the shock of firing.
The Vermont is of 6 5000 tons dis

horsepower. She is one of the largest
battIeships ever built for the American

Law Fail to Fool States Attorney.
Ten piggers and two druggists were
arrested at Bismarck for failure to
register and advertise their govern
ment liquor tax receipts according to
the law passed at the last session Of
the legislature. Several Of them are al
ready under bonds for the same Of
Tense. Some of them sought to evade
the eye of the states attorney by TAX
ing out the tax receipts at other
places and then having them trans
ferred to Bismarck, but it failed to
work, as the complete list is pub
lished by the county auditor, who Sc
cured his list through the states at

attorney. Some time ago number
of holders of receipts got scared and

OF embezzlement. having drawn drafts
on his employers, was convicted in
the district court.
Warden Henry Wolfer of the Min.
nsota state prison was one of tie

and a half in the Minnesota peniten-
,tfary on charge of grand larceny.
Warden Wolfer told the circum.
stances surrounding Spence's confne.
ment In the penitentiary, and said

To the Press of North Dakota:
The North Dakota legislature last
winter passed bill creating grain
commission board, said board to be
appointed by the governor.
Governor Burke selected for this
beard A. R. Thompson of Rolla, E. D.
Washburn of Hope and M. o. Hall of
Mohall, and they are now actively en-
gagged in the prosecution of their
work.
The duties of this board are to ex-
anime the system of dcckage, grading
and weighing the products of the
North Dakota farmer; the feasibility
of the state leasing building, or buy
ing terminal grain storage at Mime
apolis, Duluth or Superior; the proba-
BILE cost of running terminal elevators,
including taxes, labor and insurance.
The board has received number
of alleged Determinations, in docking
and weighing, which are now receiv-
ing their attention.
That they may more fully serve the
interests of the grain producers of
North Dakota, the board would like
that every newspaper in the state pub
lish this notice, in order that any one
having just grievance can be
reached. If any one thus interested
will make out a complaint, showing
date of shipment, car number, on
which railroad, from what station
shipped, to what firm, date Of weigh
ing, weight and dockage, and send 1t

Julio Carrie. consul for Argentine.
was recent visitor in Co.
penhagen, at which time he proposed
to the Danish government that Den.
mark remove the tariff on Argentine
beef, in consideration of the removal
by Argentine of the duty on Danish
cattle. The experiment of importing
beef from Argentine has already been
successfully tried in Denmark, and in
case the Danish government should
make make a reciprocity treaty with
Argentine, such as Mr.. Carrie propos-
ed, the United Steamship company
would greatly extend its service be-
tween the two countries, and establish
refrigerator compartments in their
ships. The voyage from Argentine to
Denmark lasts twenty days.
Albert. the Danish minister of jus.
tice, has begun suit against Simon
Koch, the author, for libel. Koch was
the minister's opponent in the last
parliamentary or "folketing' elections.
and in the Social Democrat accused
Alberti, of lying, when the latter de-
MED the charge that he had sold brick
from his factory to Mr. Adolfsen. who.
on that account. had been granted a
very unusual dispensation from the
building law of Denmark.
Alberti has also begun suit against
the editor-in-chief of Poltiken, Henrik
Cavling, because of the publication OF
some articles in which the minister
was accused of giving false informa-
ton to the folketing in regard to his
connection with Maddagsposten,
scandalous paper Of Copenhagen.
If these two cases are pushed by tho
minister, the country will see couple
of the most important libel suits 1t has
witnessed in many years.

WHAT RUINED HIS LIFE?
Man With Family Skeleton In Closet
Suicides at Bismarck.

Man With Family Skeleton in Closet
Suicides at Bismarck.
A human derelict sank from sight
last week, when Louis SouthwOrth of
Bismarck threw himself in front of
Northern Pacific freight train near the
depot and was ground to pieces. He
was about sixty-five years old, and
drifted from New York about thirty
years ago with skeleton in his
closet that he kept from view. He
was a man of considerable education
and came of good family, being a
near relative of Mrs. Southworth, the
famous novelist. He has been living
here in a hand-to-mouth fashion for
years, and for the last year had been
in bad health and penniless, SO 1t Is
presumed discouragement caused the
act. Friends from Bowden, this
state, will take care of the remains.
