Rev. Geo. SoItau, D. D., viii be at
Conference

Not satisfied with having secured
the world renowned Sprugeon for the
Bible conference, the management
has also secured the services of the
Rev. George Soltau, the renowned~eng.
fish evangelist. He Is endorsed by
Drs. F. B. Meyer, A. T. Pierson, J. r.
Pratt, and others in the strongest
terms. OF him the Rev. Webb-Peplow,
Prebendary Of st. .Paul's Cathedral,
London, says: :.
REV. George Soltau has been
known to me for many years as an
honored servant of the Lord. He has
been greatly used in his public work
as an evangelist and as preacher
of Gods Holy Word in many different
parts Of the world, and l have much
pleasure in introducing him to the
favors and friendship of the American
brethern.'
Bishop Robert Mcintyre of the
Methodist church has the following to
say.
II desire to commend to all my fel.
low pastors the work of Rev. George
Soltau of England. His preaching is
fervent and moving, his Bible readings
sound. and profound. He is safe, spirit.
ual and vastly helpful. and our
churches will get an uplift from his
ministry. delight to speed the mes.
sages of this man."
In his teaching of the word and
forceful application of the truth, DR..
Soltau is said to resemble DR.. J. R.
Pratt.
In addition to the splendid male
quartette, the music will be enrich
ed by the presence Of the following
soloists, Mrs. W. H. Bangs, Rev. R.
T. Fulton, Rev. G. w. Stewart. Those
acquainted with these soloists know
that that means very much.
In some cases, churches are appoint,
| ing delegates and paying their expen-
ses to the conference. When people
60 hundreds and thousands of miles
to hear the conferences at Northfield
Mass, and Winona Lake, Ind, why
shouldn't the people of the churches
flock together in enthusiastic loyalty
to the North Dakota Bible Conference
which in strength of program will
compare favorably with any of them
The churches in every denomination
could make no better investment thar
to send delegates. ;.j.- - -. 1. -
Some of the ministers are writing
in that they cannot afford to. come
because their salary isn't paid or be
cause the salary is SO small. Churches
behind in the salary of their pastors
will make a great mistake If the,
don't see that their obligations ar
made In time for the preachers t,
go. Why shouldn't all the churches pa;
the expenses of their ministers, to tn
conference? It will enthuse them an
Il awaken them and stir new life Il
them. The churches couldn't make
better investment than to give none
enough to their preacher to stay thr
the whole conference. t@E' - Hff-:T,

CHILLY RECEPTION
TO THE CITIZENS
When They Met Douglas Coun-
cilmen on the Matter of
Assessments.

| DOUGLAS. Aug. 2T.-CSpecial.) -
| 1t was Chilly welcome and cold
comfort that the citizens committee
received when they appeared before
the aldermen last night when the coun
Gil assembled as an adjustment board
on the assessment roll OF the city.
This committee came as representa-
tives of the mass meeting which was
held at the Orhheum last week and
where they were appointed WITH due
powers and a number of instructions
to take up with the city council the
taxation question in all its phrases, but
they remained as individuals. They
were expected to oppose the return
to the two year old assessment list, to
suggest higher rate and lower assess
ment and to do many other things but
they never had an opportunity TO do
any of them for they were not even ac-
corded a hearing. When the Aldermen
assembled they found the audience
room of the council chamber crowded
and among the waiting ones were the
committee of five
As soon as the council was called to
order the spokesman of the committee
arose and announced their presence
and authority as representatives of the
citizens meeting and asked for hear.
ing on the matter. Mayor Greene re-
piled firmly and politely that it would
be impossible to hear them as a COM
mittee. That the city council had al
ready decided on how the taxes must
be raised. That the announcement of
the public hearing for last night had
been made, in response to which indi-
yidual citizens had come in such num-
bers as to crowd the hall and that 1t
would not be fair and Just to those
present to take up their time and the
time of the council in hearing the com.
mittee when nothing could result from
such hearing. Then the assessment
roll was ordered called and the COM
mittee could only consider itself dis.
missed as committee and remain in
the hall as individuals. The grounds
on which the council would make re-
auctions were duly explained to the
waiting crowd before the calling of the
roll was started by Clark Daley and
as each name was called he or she had
the opportunity to come forward and
state his or her reasons for demand
ing reduction. Whenever such a
complaint was made each individual
was given a full hearing and if case
for reduction was made that reduction
was duly voted by the board. BY nine
O'Clock the board had gotten down in
the BIS and it was evident that several
days and possibly week would be re-
quired to go through the full roll
The action of the council in turn
ing down the committee was not ut all
unexpected for it was known that they
consider the matter closed as to how
the taxes snail be raised and that they
would probably adhere TO a rule of
individuals only.

CURIOSITY
OVER SURVEY
At DOUGLAS
There Is Much Speculation As
to Probable Railroad That Is
To Build Through That Sec
ton of Country.

DOUGLAS, Aug. 27.-(SpeeiaL) y
Much curiosity is expressed as to
who is responsible for the work which
is being done, as to what road will
be passing so near here and giving
Douglas connection with Cananea, as
to what influences are behind the move.
All indications point to the fact that
it is the Sierra Madre & Pacific rail
road, for which Col Greene has the
concession from the Mexican govern
ment. That is borne out by the fact
that Mr. Jones, one of the prominent
members of the party, has been en-
ployed by that road for two or three
years past
For more than a month rumors have
been coming from Ell Paso that prom.
inent officials of the Sierra Madre, in
Guiding President Nickerson, were in
New York and that they had succeed
ed in the arranging of the financing
of the road for its proposed extension.
Further rumors have come from the
same source that the Hartman inter
ests were most anxious to take over
the road and its concessions.
On the other hand, it was more than
limited When Col Greene bought the
Sierra Madre road he was acting in
the Hartman interests, but such state
ments were never proven. 1t is GER
tain that the Hartman interests have
good reason to want the road wheth-
er they have it or whether other in
terests have beaten them to It, In
either event, it comes as a. coup in
railroad building and railroad affairs.
There is no proof whatever that Col
Greene originally bought the road in
the Hartman interests.
May Be PheIps-Dodse.
1t would not be at ali surprising
if the Phelps-Dodge interests were eth
er back Of or in some degree interest
ed in the move, for it would be the
part of wisdom for them to parallel
their own tracks along the line of the
E. P. & S. W. railroad rather than TO
permit business rivals to do so. 1t is
certain that should the Espee or Har-
riman interests construct a railroad
paralieling the Southwestern its
whole distance, it would injure the
Southwestern. When seen by a Dis
patch representative and questioned
on this point, James S. Douglas dis
claimed any knowledge.
In the new offices of the company no
information was obtainable. Although
press representatives were politely
treated, they were informed there was
no information to be divulged to the
press, except that it is the Sierra Madre
Bisbee daily review., 1908-08-28

press except what could been sen.
From all indications therefore it may
be taken that it is the Sierra Madre
& Pacific railroad which has sent the
party out, but the interests controlling
or to control this road are unknown
at this writing.

Joint Naval and Military Force VIII
BE Sent Against Castro.

Washington, April 9.-Plans are
being elaborated In detail for the
mobilization of joint military and
naval force In Venezuelan waters as
soon as possible after President
Roosevelt obtains Congressional ac-
ton to resort to force against Castro.
1t may not be deemed necessary by
the administra tion to make this mar
tial demonstration, but the war and
navy departments are both mapping
out tentative military movement.
The whole military situation is
now under consideration by the gem
eral staff Of the army, and the gene
raj board of the navy, by direct or
der from the President upon Secre-
tary Roots recommendation for pre-
paredness to back up eventualities
with a show of arms.
President Roosevelt cannot consti-
tutionally declare war against Vene-
Zuela. Legislative authority would
be required for such campaign, and
the present preparation Of plans, It Is
understood, will be merely in accord
with the policy Of mapping out cam.
paigns for possible emergencies
Directions given in the present in
stance are, however, .the most ex.
plicit made since the army and navy
was ordered to prepare for participa-
ton In the International relief col.
umn against Peking during the Boxer
troubles. They are being guarded
closely and transmitted verbally from
bureau to bureau:
