THE MISSION FIELD.
A Most Enthusiastic Missionary Meet
at Denison.

The district convention held IN the
M. E. Church on Thursday and Friday
of last week was most satisfactory
one to those who could attend. Nearly
seventy-fve delegates were enrolled.
The presence of Miss Ogborn. the re-
turned missionary from China added
much to the Importance of the meeting.
The devotional exercises on Thursday
evening was called to order by Mrs.
A. E. Griffith. of Council Bluffs.
Mrs. Griffith expressed desire that
the delegates realize the Importance
of the hymns sung. Among other
things she said: .We must not sing.
"Were the whole realm of Nature
mine.
That were a present far too small:
Love so amazing: so divine;
Demands my soul. my life. my
ALL"
and then give our little pennies. We
must give until it is sacrifice.
| After the scripture reading and
prayer Mrs. Merrill. in behalf of the
Denison Auxiliary welcomed the de
legates to Denison, and assured them
that they were welcome. Mrs. C.
j. English. of Shenandoah who was
on the program for the response was
not able to attend, and Mrs. M. M.
Cable. of Manila read the address
which Mrs. English had prepared.
Misses Anna Boyle and Edna
Wright then sang very effectively,
"What will it Natter which was
followed by song entitled sect out
Of our Way by the boys of the King
Heralds Society of Denison.
Miss Allie Sewell then sang in {
way which was much appreciated by
the audience.
The principal feature of the even
ing session was the address of Mis-!
Kate Ogborn. This address was /;
revelation to the audience. 1t wa
hardly to be believed that such pro
gress was being made in China as sh
told about. The people felt like ris

PATTEHso. CONTEMPT CASE.
The Defendant Argues His Case Be-
fore the Supreme Court.

ashington.-Senator Patterson Of
Colorado began an argument in his
own behalf in the Supreme Court of
the United States on the 5th on the
contempt case brought against him by
the Supreme Court of Colorado. The
case grows out of structures on the
court made by Senator Patterson in his
two Denver papers, the News and the
Times
The case grows out of reflections by
Mr.. Pattersons papers on the decision
of the state court in the Colorado cleo
tioE cases of 1904, in which the court
was accused of revolutionary and par
tisan conduct. He afterward justi-
fled these statements as witnesses in
the facts, and he repeated this asser-
tion to the federal Supreme Court.
The state court imposed fine of ST.
900.
Before outlining his case, Patterson
explained that it was impossible for
Ex-Governor Thomas or Senator Teller
to be present this afternoon to make
argument, the latter being detained in
another court to testify in behalf OF
former Land Commissioner Hermann,
who is on trial for destroying public
records.
II the course of mis- statement, Pat
terson reviewed his case from the time
the Objectionable articles were pub
lished up to the imposition of the fine
of 81 900. He cited four reasons why,
in his opinion, the Colorado court had
no jurisdiction over his case. Two
were on technical grounds, the third
alleged that the articles dealt with
grave public questions and did not i'm
pugn the integrity of the court, and in
the fourth, he stated, his articles were
true, and declared no man could be
rightfully punished under our govern
ment for speaking the truth.
In answer to questions from the
bench, Patterson gave his ideas as to
the liberties Of press in criticising
courts and then in justification of his
publications gave his version of the
action of the courts at the time of the
election of 1904. He declared that the
court, at the request of the Republican
state chairman, had issued injunctions
and appointed officials to supervise the
elections; that contempt proceedings
begun after the election resulted in the
Imprisonment and fining Of thirty
men.
He said that returns from ten Dem
ocratic precincts were thrown out,
thus defeating more than twenty Dem
ocratic candidates who had been
elected by majorities ranging from 200
to 1900, and all this without giving
the men affected an opportunity to be
heard.
The court appears to show unusual
interest in the case.

Bureau of Corporations, over which
Garfield has presided up to the present
time.
Former Secretary Hitchcock ex-

oIGeals of his administration.
Judge Richard A. Ballinger of Wash
irgton to-day succeeded Gov. William

1.-The White House, March 4, 1907.

years ago you told me that you could
not stay longer than this date. l told
you then how l regretted to have you

appreciation for your long and faith
full services. For eight years you have
given your best ability to the disinter-
ested services of the government.

RIoTINe IN ST. PETERSBURG.
Socialists Parade Broken Up by Police
Without Bloodshed.

ST. Petersburg. - The opening
Tuesday of the Douma, or lower
house of the Russian Parliament,
although itself devoid of incident~ -
was made the occasion Of a greaO
revolutionary demonstration by tKL
st. Petersburg proletariat and stL-
dents, which resulted in several en-
counters between the police and the
populace, and the more or less serious
injury to a number of the latter.
The situation was such that the all
thorities finally were forced to fill the
streets with military patrols as in the
ominous days of the Trepoff regime.
After the adjournment of the House
tumultuous crowd, estimated to num-
Der close to 10000 persons, with red
banners flying. and accompanied by
the music of revolutionary chants.
started toward the central quarter of
the city, where the winter palace OF
the Emperor is located.
Few elements of the prelude Of RED
Sunday" we're lacking and the com
mand "Fire!" would have precipitated
q similar massacre. But the present
prefect o. st. Petersburg General Dra-
cheffski followed another course, and
dispersed the procession by charges of
mounted gendarmes armed with whips.
BY an imposing display of force he
prevented the demonstrators from re-
forming.
The police guarding the Tauride pal
ace acted with great forbearance, CIV
ing the spectators free vent in singing
and cheering, and only interfering to
prevent the people from forcing their
way into the palace.
No business was transacted by the
Douma.

Aged African Explorer.

While many of the great explorers
Livingstone, Burton, Rohlfs, Nachti-
gal, Stanley-have passed away, one
of the pioneers, George Schweinfurth,
celebrated his seventeen birthday a
few weeks ago in perfect health, and
as eager for work as ever. When
he first visited Africa, in 1868, even
the Nile regions were largely terra in
cognita. He explored the Delta, the
deserts, the region between the Nile
and the Red sea; he learned Arabic.
and soon became so acclimated that
Africa seemed his real home-a para
disc compared to Europe, with its
"wretched, insufferable civilization"
Thus it was that he felt himself drawn
deeper and deeper into the Dark con-
tinent. His Heart of Africa" appear
ed in 1874, and was promptly trans
lated into all the European languages.
His later works attracted less atten.
ton, as they were addressed chiefly
to savants. In recent years he has
devoted much time to the preparation
of charts of the Eastern desert of
Egypt Many of his papers have ap-
peared in the periodical of the Berlin
Geographical society and the Zeit
schift fur Ethnologie. Although his
speciality has been botany, he has made
many important contributions to an
thropology, among the more recent
ones being an attempt to throw a
light on Egyptian antiquity and Or
igins by the aid of the botanical con-
tents of old tombs.

Berliners are congratulating them
selves on the gradual disappearance
of their second-class cabs and the
multiplication of auto.cabs. The latest
count showed that of the cabs Of all
kinds, 7,713 altogether, 500 we're au.
toInobiles. All of these are in such
great demand that their receipts often
rise to SIS day, and never fall below
five dollars. They are allowed to
charge seven cents more than ordi-
nary cabs. The number of auto-om-
nibuses was 947, as against 3,343
street cars. These ominbuses make
almost as good time as the auto-cabs
Accidents rarely happen, largely ow-
ing to the abundant supply of police
men. At the Potsdamer Platz alone
there are IA of them, and they have
very little to do, their mere presence
making the drivers and chauffeurs
careful to observe the ordinances.

kits VS.. Trousers.

A Scot has written for the London
journals an argument in favor of
wearing kits, especially in cold
weather. A fashionable physician of
London supports his argument, and
the Tailor and Cutter admits that
the streets would be made more pic
turesQLe, furthermore the kilt would
put an end to ''baggykneed trousers"
A pair of trousers that bag at the
knees is indeed loathsome object.
The question of wearing kits is
not one of leg exposure to the cold
of winter, nor is it one of compare
tive durability and economy i'll ma
terial. 1t is chiefly question Of
legs, remarks Boston Herald. The
Psalmist said of the Lord: He
taketh not pleasure in the legs
of a man" Nevertheless, civilized
man, vain thing, vainer than the
average woman, is conscious of his
legs. They must be sculptured if the
kilt is to be donned. Thackeray's
marquis of Flarintosh appeared at
Partisan court balls in his uniform Ct
the Scotch archers or in his native
Glenlivat tartan, and he thought there
was no handsomer young nobleman;
but look at Doyle's picture of him,
and To- he was a sight We may all
be deceived in this respect. The
most bow-legged may fondly imagine
that his left at least is poem. There
are eminent statesmen, judges, phil
anthropists who, killed, would appear
as inconsiderable beings, things of
naught, yet they may rise superior
to baggy trousers or even to those
worn at half-mast
