 Various other complaints have been filed, some in regard to dealers and some against older boys who have been giving cigarettes to children. At least four cases will come up in the justices court, and others are promised by those who are Heading the movement.

Church to II.lp the La5or;ng Man.

A clear conception of what the federal council of churches Of Christ in America hope to accomplish through church unity was conveyed through the actions of that body in session in Washington last week in adopting resolutions placing itself on record as favorlng active work in the interest of the laboring man and organ ized labor, and also urging better distribution of churches and home missionary workers.
 Rev. Charles Stelzle, of New York. superintendent of the department of the church and lIbOr of the Presby- terian church, declared the relation of the laboring man to the church was one that dared not be ignored.
 He said that socialism had taken the lead from the churches in taking up the fight for advancement in be- half of labor and placed himself on record as favoring organized labor.

Yaqui Troubles May Soon Reach Final
 Settlement.

J. Villasenor, who has extensive mining interests in HermosIllo, in speaking of the Yaqui situation ir Mexico, last week says that the IT.. dians are now very desirous of discon. tinuing the war and that within fifteen days the trouble will be terminated and the country peaceful once again. Bule, governor of the Yaquis, is at present treating for peace with l.. Torres, governor of Sonora, and the condition of the treaty is that if the Indians will be quiet for six months, the government will return to them their relatives, who are at present in Yucatan, being sent there several months ago for disturbing the peace. This outbreak has been great detri- ment to the country in kee ping Ameri- cans from entering it.
 Before this trouble arose, many Americans were interested in mining properties and other enterprises in Sonora, but most of these have sold out and returned to the United States, thus crippling to a great extent the Mexican capitalists of that. country. Especially has this been the case with the Colorado and the Nina Prietas, which are practically in the center of the Yaquis district in gold and silver region. Formerly there were employed 5000 laborers where now there are only 1000, due to great extent to the Yaqui trouble.
 However, MT. Villasenor reports the good news that it will not be long be- fore the previously prosperous condi- tions will return, and many Americans are expected to again invest their capital in Mexican property as here tofore.-Ex.

CONCESSION EXTENDED.
CoI. Greene Retains Right for the Sierra
 Mddre Railroad.

The conce>sion held by Col. w. c. Greene to extend the Rio Grande, Sierra Mddre and Pacific line from Terrazas, Mexico, below Casas Grandes, has been extended two years according to H. R. NickersOn, presi- dent of the line. MT. Nickerson says the extension will be built, but says start. He also denies recent reports that Colonel Greene and himself were after the same concession or were not working in harmony.
 MT. Nickerson arrived in Fl Paso from Mexico and says the time has been extended for two years from d date early in 1909. Concerning the proposed route of the extension he said he did not know to what point the extension would be made. He admitted that the Sierra Madre had engineers in the field on a survey to- ward tte YIqIi river line Of the Harrim tn system, but stated that the engineers are not now in the field.
 MT. Nickerson entertains d most optimistic view of the future busi- ness and financial condition in the republic. He observes that the pros perity which is returning to the United States will be reflected in Mexico to great extent.
 "The republic is the posse-sor of a world of undeveloped nItural re- sources and the encOuragem ant of work in developing them is sure to bring wealth and prosperity to the nation," h says.

Roosevelt On Throne.

Walter Wellman, in a dispatch to the Record-Herald from Washington, December 3, says:
 Ut is not often a good story of national interest comes out of the Washington police court. A colored preacher was awaiting his turn to testify in Justice Kimball's court room, while waiting he told of a dream he had;
 'Ah dreamed An was in Heaven the other night. As An stood jest in- side de golden gate dar came a rap and George Washington was an nounced to St. Peter.

LORDS PRAYER IN RHYME.

The following verses were found in manuscript on the body of soldier on the battlefield of Charleston, s. C., during the Civil war. They were picked up by some stranger, who never found out who was the writer. A copy of the poem worked on a piece of silk was presented to the Kansas City museum by Colonel l.. H. Waters. So far as can be ascertained they have never been printed before. It will be noted that the conclud- ing phrases of the second line in each couplet when put together form the Lords prayer, according to the Protestant version of it. There is no title to the poem: Thou at the mercy seat our souls
 doth gather To do our duty unto Thee-OUR

AN ENJOYABLE AFFAIR


Another one OF the interesting stu
dent recltals given BY the Fargo Col
lege Conservatory OF music has held
Saturday afternoon, Dec. s, in Stones
Music hall by some of the very young
students and proved to be very enjoy
able to those who were in attendance.
The conservatory makes a practice
OF having regular private recitais to
which all students desiring to play at
the public recitals must attend and
participate as an examination of their
ntness for the public playing. This
tends to create great interest and
healthy rivalry which brings the stand
ard up to high plane.
A pleasant feature of the Saturday
afternoon recital was the refresh nents
served to the little ones>after they had
finished. They all went away SEEM
ing to be very happy.
Following are the names, OF those
who participated:
Frank Weld, Bernice Bestic, Anna
Sanderson, Mable Dainard, Mortimer
WIKI, Floyd Emery. Elianor Amidon,
Anna Gletne, Houghton Harrington,
Pearl frost, Dorothy Powell Nora
