 aries, 20 guests in the Merriam House, ' at the Thornton Home. This is the largest number ever upon the roll. The receipts from all sources were $374,024, the largest in any year except when the Centenial Fund was raised. The balance in the emergency fund is s37,S2S.
 ''The Board of Education reported that sos candidates were accepted by the board last year. S3 in Acadamic, 354 in collegiate and 372 in theological courses. Of these 253 were new men. and 556 renewals a decrease of Is in the former and an increase of 36 in the later. This unusual condition, the board said, is due probably to the fact that the increased cost of living has constrained a number of candi- dates, who had believed themselves able to pursue their further training unassisted, to renew their applica- lions.
 "A notable dearth of candidates is observed in a number of presbyteries east of the Alleghenies, seven of the strongest averaging but one candidate for 5,137 church members. In the large centers of wealth and popula, ton comparatively few candidates are being raised up to face, with a mas tery born of intimate experience, the complex problems of urban life. The result is that the churches of the east draw heavily upon the ministerial 1 forces q the west, struggling as she is with her vast stretches of uneyangel ized territory, into which immigration is pouring with ever a widening stream. It is beyond the Mississipp, that the majority of our 2,291 vacant churches lie. If the eastern homes, churches and schools cannot furnish enough ministers for the needs of their | own territory, but must drain away some of the best workers from our l destitute home mission fields, the laws of supply and demand in the church have become seriously dis 1 turbed. The call for men to man the | fields in the south, west and southwest is stronerg and louder today than ever in our nations history. Over 50 men could be used at once on home mission territory if the money and the men were available. There are coun' ! ty seats in the southwest having no evangelical church of any denomina ! tion.
 "The board wishes to emphasize the need on the part of presbiteries of ex' ercising the most scTupulous care in the examination of candidates. A large share of the time and money devoted to higher education is being expended upon the develop ments of technical courses even in the denominational colleges, and there | is eminent danger that the A. B. de l gree shall be allowed to stand for less and less in the midst of an age when the reactions of material prosperity are felt so keenly in our educational ! system.
 ''The receipts were s175,742 and the expenditures $174,S76, leaving a bal ance of SS56.00"
 The report of the Board of Mis- sions set forth that the receipts frOp living sources last year were tht l largest in it's history.
 There has been some falling of II legacies," the report said, but the gifts from the churches and individ uals are larger than ever before, ant the treasury of the Women's Boart

train proceeded westward her resolu-
tion grew fainter, but still she was
determined to make the test of his
affection. And then the train ran
OH the track, possibly at the insti-
CATION of Cupid himself. She suffer-
ed broken ankle, which is more
painful if not more serious than a
broken heart, and after she was able
to leave the hospital here she went
back to Des Moines and her lover.
He rejoiced much, she relented, the
day was set and all is well. So some
OF the other passengers who have
suffered some from injuries may find
consolation in the fact that rail-
road accident reunited these separat
ed souls, and scored another triumph
for Cupid. The moral of it would
seem to be that it is well to take the
lover; when he offers and not go
away on any wild goose chase to test

A
Testimony in the maximum coal
rate case, involving the validity of
the law passed by the legislature two
years ago, has been completed and
tae case will soon be presented to
the supreme court for its considera-
tion. The testimony in the case has
been taken from time to time and
the printed record will be of consid-
cradle length. The railroads oper-
ating in the state have refused to
put the new tariffs in effect, claim
ing them to be unreasonable and con-
fiscatory, and the testimony of their
officials given before the referee in
the case is to the effect that coal
cannot be hauled at anything but a
loss at the rates prescribed Compar-
ative tables of rates on coal in this
and other states are included in the
testimony and will be presented to
the court. Attorney General McCue
has prosecuted the case on behalf
of the state and will argue it before
the supreme court at date to be
Eset.

Other states have. leaner treasur-
les than North Dakota. In Michigan
for instance the treasury was empty
on November 18th and the great
army of employers were ION their
uppers' from that date till last week.
Then the railroads came to the res
cue and advanced $175,000 of their
taxes,-a very graceful and consider
ate thing to do and one that has been
done in this state on more than one
occasion. It is not an unusual thing
for state treasures to be low at this
season of the year just before the
remittance of taxes from county
treasurers.

jamestown, N. D., Dec. 29.-Goad
ed to desperation by ill health and
fearing insanity Rev. R. c. Dough-
erty, a promising young pastor, sui
cided at Buchanan, in this county,
Sunday night.
b 1t was noticed this morning that
his window curtain was still down
and that his horse was in the barn
and that he did not appear to have
left for his appointment at neigh
boring town. Upon forcing the door
the man was found seated in his
chair in an upright position, it ap-
pearing that he severed the artery
in the right side of his neck with
a razor and slowly bled to death.
He held a pail between his feet and
caught the blood from his wound
therein. III.
Coroner Todd found note address
sed to the brother of Rev. Dough-
|erty, a resident of Kansas City, in
which he expressed the belief that
he would be unable to resist the i'm
pulse to kill himself. The note was
full of self condemnation and show
ed an almost insane distress. It
was learned that he had made fre-
quent visits to a Jamestown nerve
specialist who told him he was suf-
fering from neuresthenia brought on
by OVerWork and worry. He was ad-
vised to take a long vacation and the
trustees of the church Of which he
was pastor had arranged to grant
him leave of absence and had made
up a purse to defray his expenses. {
Rev. Dougherty was a person of
great intellect and hard worker.
He was twenty-eight years of age
and of a nervous disposition.

COMMISSION
Old Board Has Concluded Its
Lab0Fs.-. Good Rec.
ord Made

81 The state board of railroad commits
sioners held meeting at the capitol
yesterday morning and wound up the
business before the board preparatory
to turning over the office to their sue
cessors when they qualify next week
Messrs. Deisem, Stafne and Westby
were present at the meeting and re-
turned to their homes on the afternoon
train. With the exception of few
petitions for improvements which are
now in process of adjustment, all of
the business before the board has
been disposed of.
The application for reduction of
rates, made some weeks ago by the
Fargo Commercial club, was adjusted
through tine efforts of the commits
sion, in a manner satisfactory to the
petitioners, and generally to the job
bers of the state. The new rates will
go into effect January on the North
ern Pacific road. No further applica-
tions or petitions for rate adjust,
ments are now before the commits
sion.
The maximum coal rate case, which
was referred by the commission to
the attorney general, is soon to be
submitted to the supreme court, the
taking of testimony having been COM

the reopening of the station at Har-

One Of the changes suggested with
reference to the responsibility for ac-
cfdents to pedestrians from icy or
slippery walks is that the legisla-
ture place the responsibility and liza
bifity with the owner Of the prop
erty and not with the city, as now.
We think this might have both its
advantages and disadvantages. 1t
might induce the property holder to
keep his walk clean, and it might
subject a property holder to endless
harassment from suits for watch
there was no real foundation, or that
might be brought in a spirit Of mall
ice or personal spite. We think the
better plan would be for the city to
provide by ordinance for the clean
ing OF walks, under penalties that
would insure the end sought, and let
the liability remain where 1t is now

The regular Idaho delegation seated by the
democratic convention The contest was solely over
proposition to admit the regulars and the contest
ants with ha1f-vote each, to which the regulars
would not consent. No one favored the cause of
the boiling delegation. Unthinking members of the
committee wrongfully assumed that division of the
honors would produce harmony
The ant-polygamy resolution was defeated in the
committee by vote of 20 to 49, solely the ground
that it was a state matter. All favored the fight
against polygamy in Idaho.
The boilers received no courtesies at the hands Of
the convention. They we're given tickets and
other recognition
The victory of the regular delegation complete
and the boilers without standing in the national
party
King, of Utah, and others, pledged a large Nor

left out of the platform The result will prove the
futility of his promise and will help in the next
congress and otherwise in the future.
