EARLY END EXPECTED
Russian Foreign Office KeenIy In
tereSted in Frontier War.
FLOODS DELAY OPERATIONS

Incident of Particular Importance Be-
cause 1t Is the First Occasion for
the Application OF Russia's Right to
Preserve Order in Persia.
st. Petersburg, April 20.-The for
eign office is keenly interested in
Russias little frontier war in Persia
1t is the first occasion to arise for the
active application of Russia's rights,
under the Anglo-Russian agreement,
to interfere to preserve order in North
ern Persia. The operations themselves
are considered of minor importance
and they will quickly come to an end
so soon as the subsistence of the floods
permits the movement of the Russian
detachments. Russia counts upon the
hearty support of Great Britain and
expects no interference on the part of
any other power.
The foreign Office has no further
news of fighting. The Russian COM
mander telegraphs that the Persian
inhabitants along the frontier have
abandoned their villages and fled to
the mountains. The Russian detach.
ment is still in Persian territory.

AGAIN ATTACK RUSSIANS.
Persian Bandits Concentrate in Force
at BeIeSuvar

PERSIAN BandrS concentrate in Force
at BeIesuvar.
Tiflis, April 20.-The situation on
the Persian frontier arising from the
activity of bands of marauding Kurds
has not materially improved The
Persian bandits, who retired into their
mountain Businesses after their first
successes against the Russians, again
concentrated in force and renewed
their attack against Belesuvar. The
Russians cOuntered with energy and
their artillery bombarded several vii
lagos in which the brigands had taken
shelter The Russian commander has
received orders to dispense and en-
tirely wipe out the brigand bands.
Reinforcements are being sent in to
him from Baku and Lenokran. The
expedition that went in from Baku
found its TANKS to be menaced by
the brigands; it therefore occupied
points in Persian territory in order
adequately to protect the line of COM
munication. In addition to the losses
previously reported the Russians have
had seven soldiers killed
The Russian commander says in a
report that the Persian authorities
have lost their heads entirely and
that anarchy reigns in the district.

RECEIVER Is APPOINTED.
Big Brokerage Company in Financial
Trouble.

Cincinnati, April 2O.-Application
for the appointment Of a receiver for
the Odell Brokerage company, one Of
the largest concerns Of its kind in the
country, was made in the state court
here by attorneys repres enting the
company. Rumors of financial diff
culties have been current locally for
several days, but the company was
declared to be in good shape except
for one or two large deals still unset
tied at the time of the last reorgan-
ization of the concern. The applica-
tion for a receiver was in the inter
est of the company and for the pro-
lection of it's business. ...-. III
Thomas J. Cogan, attorney for the
company, was appointed receiver and
gave bond for $4,000. The applica-
ton was filed by the attorney in the
name of John M. Scott, holder of 300
shares in the company, who says the
concern is indebted to him for $500.
Receiver Cogan says that the COM
pany is capitalized for $250,00O, all
paid up, but that it has for some time
been short of cash for carrying on it's
business, which fact was the direct
cause of the receivership.

CONGRESSIONAL PROBE,
Cannon's Latest Plan to Fight the
Paper Trust.

Cannon's Latest Plan to Fight the
Paper Trust.
Washington, April 2O.-In the event
the attorney general does not show
that something substantial has been
done to prosecute the paper trust as
a combination in restraint of trade,
providing the pending inquiry shows
it is operating in violation of law,
congress may go into the trust fight
ing business on it's own account.
Speaker Cannon and Chairman
Payne of the ways and means COM
mittee contend that the tariff has
nothing to do with the high price of
print paper; that If the scarcity of
the raw product is not responsible for
it then the fault lies with the paper
trust, which, by combining factories
and regulating the output, holds the
prices up to suit itself The speaker
does not intend to rush into the trust
fight, but he may offer a resolution
providing for searching inquiry by
a congressional committee into the
operations of the International Paper
company. This inquiry, if held, will
touch upon the sources of supply, the
methods of manufacture and the man
ner of distribution of the products of
wood pulp, -.-.

Easter at the Presbyterian Church.

The services Yesterday were
beautiful and inspiring all through.
The church had been beautifully
decorated for the occasion, and the
the bank of Easter lilies and other
flowers above the deep green bank
of balsam made nice effect.
The morning service was attended
by a very large congregation, taxing
the seating capacity of the church to
its utmost. The special music was
beautiful and the choir, composed of
nine young ladies, all dressed in
white, delighted the audience with
their music.
In the evening was given one of
the best praise services that was
ever heard in this city. All who
took part in it acquitted them
selves in so commemorate a manner
that to mention one would be to
mention all. The chorus of seven
teen voices showed training and the
work on the music which was of a
high order and very difficult.
The audience was far beyond
the capacity of the church and
many, having no room even to
stand, had to turn away.
The services were such as to be
long remembered, and many were
the people who spoke in apprecia-
ton of the work of the organist,
Mrs. Andrew Warheld, and the
director, Miss Dora Hanson.

STATE POLICE ON THE SCENE
Will Protect Street Car Strkebreak
ers at Chester. Pa.

Chester, Pa, April l-The three
troops Of the state police which were
ordered to Chester by Governor Stu
art because of the street car strike
have arrived here. They will make

BRYAN MEN FEAR STAMPEDE
uninstructed Delegates Numerous in
Illinois Convention.

lIIInOIS SOTvCIIlIOIs
Chicago, April 2O-New turns of
the Democratic kaleidoscope have de-
veloped a situation that caused the
state leaders to ponder seriously on
the chances for a stampede at Spring
field next Thursday that might line
up Illinois for Governor John A. John
son of Minnesota. Reports from down
state indicated that the Minnesota ex-
ecutive was exhibiting remarkable
strength and that>the anti-Bryan men
would be at the convention in sufi-
Gent numbers to make a stubborn
fight at least for the sending of an
uninstructed delegation to Denver.
The developments that Indicated to
the eyes of the weatherwise possible
stampede toward Johnson were:
Kane county Democratic committee
at Geneva adopted resolutions endors-
ing both Bryan and Johnson and gave
its delegates no instructions. The
meeting was strongly for the Mime
sofa man. ..-2
Coles county Democrats at Mattoon,
after two hours of wrangling, declined
to endorse Bryan and elected seven
teen delegates without instructions.
John F. Hopkins returned from Eu-
rope and was asked to attend the state
convention and to introduce g. John
son resolution.
Reports from down state Indicate
that many counties will have unin-
structed delegates at Springfield and
that they will make a strong fight
against instructing the national dele
gates for Bryan.

FRENCH Loss HEAVY OUR REPAIR DEPARTMENT
Defeat Force Of Berbers and Ar.
abs, but Victory Is Costly.
ATTACK WAS UNEXPECTED
Casualties Aggregate One Officer ard
TWenty-seven Men Killed and Ten
Officers and Ninety Men Wounded.
Enemy Left Many Dead on Field.

Colomb Bechar, Algeria, April -
a French column posted on Talzaza
hill, which commands the plain of
Tamlet, was attacked fercely by a
number Of Berbers, who, with nomad
Arabs, have been concentrating for
some weeks past on the western from
tier of Algeria. Although surprised
the French force rallied and fought
desperately and not only beat off their
adversaries but pursued them for six
miles. So hot was the pursuit that
the Arabs, in their headlong flight,
abandoned their dead and wounded.
Several green flags of the prophet also
fell into the hands of the French.
The French victory was costly.
Twenty-eight men, including an officer,
were killed and 100 men, including
ten officers, were wounded. The
losses were greatest in the foreign
legion. The Berber losses were much
heavier, no less than 125 dead bodies
being found by the French troops.
The French pursuit was stopped by
darkness.

prayer and praise service. Among
this number were four travelling men
Sundaying in the city.
These "drummers'' were back
again at 10:45 for the preaching ser
vice, staying for the Sunday school
at IL, one of Their number teaching
the Bible class and another a young
mems class, and at O'Clock in the
evening were on hand for the
Epworth League meeting, with their
number increased to five. They all
spoke out in meeting" too. One of
them, Mr.. Wilton of Minneapolis,
known as the Drummer Evangelist,
made the prayer at the s o'clock
service, following. These men
belong to the travelling mems organi-
cation known as The Band of
Gideon" which in the last few
years has grown from a trio who
were accidently thrown together for
a Sunday in the little town of
Boscobel in Wisconsin to society
numbering thousands, and with an
organization in almost every state in
the Union. 1t is a part of the
movement Of the the time that has
enlisted active business and profess
sional men in Christian service. To
meet such men and to know them in
personal life increases at once any
persons faith in the goodness of
God and the goodness of humanity.
At least three of these men testified
in young peoples meeting that they
had come to Bemidji Sunday feeling
it hardship to spend Easter away
from their own homes and churches.
And yet it was the testimony of each
of the five that it had been the most
glorious Easter THAT they had ever
experienced, complimentary alike to
the pastors sermons, TO the choir's
music and to the Christian fellow
ship of the Church of Christ and the
Band of Gideon.

DRAINAGE PLAN KILLED.
Important Decision by Wisconsin Su.
preme Court.

Madison, Wis, April THE SUI
preme court has handed down de-
cision which in effect makes impossi-
BILE the forming of drainage system

Italians who have been employed by

driven from the town by a mob who
intimidated them with a fusillade of
shots from guns and revolvers. There
has been much indignation against the
Italians since Mayor Edmundson re-

charged with it's authorship. The rail-

hundred American born residents who

Easter Services at M. E. Church.
| COMMUNICATED.

l>o-'AA'A - ~ A>-AA i1N'
The Easter services at the Method
ist Episcopal Church, were success
full in every sence of the word. The
house was filled with expectant and
happy people at both the morning
and evening hours for public worship
and it is the general testimony of
those present that the services were
most helpful and inspiring.
The choir had made special prep
Grafton in the selection of Easter
music for the two services, the selec-
tons being most tasteful while the
happy and efficient renditions of the
various numbers, solos, quartets and
anthems, charmed the auditors.
The musical program in the evenind
was not only service of sacred song
but was felt by all present to have
been a sacred service of song. Much
credit is due to all those who par
ticipated in the singing for their
contributions to the success of the
sesvices and to the joy of the Easter
day.
At the morning hour the pastor
delivered a discourse upon "The
Meaning of the Resurrection" No
comment is necessary other than to
say that goodly number of the
congregation expressed themselves
as happy in the discovery of a new
meaning In the resurrection. The
evening address was a short and
pithy sermonette upon kindred
theme: the glory of Christianity as
revealed in an enlarged hope of
personal Immortality. MIR. Deniston
holds himself to the new school of
theological thinkers. And he
certainly has had opportunity. both
in university training and in previous
PASTORAL relations, to know the
tenets of that school. He does not
believe that the world has outgrown
thee osFel of Jesus Christ but, rather,
that the world is just beginning to
come into a fuller understanding of
that Gospel whose spiritual truths
are in their very nature eternal. He
breaches that Gospel with no un-
certain sound, yet in the light of
modern thot rerceives it and pre-
sents it suhiciency unto the spirit
ual needs of people living in the
twentieth century. These Easter
addresses were characteristic of his
method.
At the close of the morning service
five adults were received into the
fellowship of the church, two of
them receiving Christian baptism at
the hands of the pastor.
The union prayer service in the
morning at seven o'clock, led by
Rev. Mckee of the Baptist church,
was attended by some forty Christ
ians who thought enough of Easter
to lose an hour or two of Sunday
morning sleep for the privilege of a
