Big Fire at Faulkton

Faulilton sixth mysterious fire
occurred Sunday night. The alarm
was given about 10 O'clock, when
the Dryden building occupied by the
Olson Hardware Company was
found to be on fire, everyone was
thrilled, fearing it meant destruc-
ton to almost the entire business
portion of the town. The building
was a wooden structure and the oil
and other combustible articles made
it the best of feed to the flames.
The Dryden building from the
start was doomed and no human
power could save it. All efforts
were to save other property and the
miracle is that nothing else was lost.
The origin of the fire, like all
other fires the town has had, is a
mystery. Faulkton Advocate.

THE WEEK AT
THE TABERNACLE
Report of the Progress of the
Union RevivalS Now in
Session
BY REV. c. H. CRUDE

Up to this writing there are about
one hundred and seventy-five deci-
sions.
The outcome has proved the WIS
dom of the committee in charging
the tabernacle. The building has
been well filled at all the week night
meetings and on Sunday evening
clearly the old building could not
have held the crowd People are
coming from all out Of town points
from Burdette, Washington and
Highmore. Two ministers were
down from Highmore and Rev. M.
Starr together with about 80 of the
Rec Heights people. They are all
cordially welcome.
On Sunday Miller house wives
provided meals for people coming in
from the county a beautiful service
to render.
Last week Mrs Johnston met the
children of Miller on three diff
ferent afternoons and explained to
them the way of salvation. About
l25 Of them attended and were care
fully instructed. Many Of these lit
tie people so easy to reach now gave
their hearts to the Savior.
On Saturday afternoon large
crowd of young people gathered and
were addressed by Mr. Johnston. 1t
was a young peoples service and the
young people responded to the splen-
did address by Mr. Johnston. There
We're several decisions.
The Sunday meetings were all
very largely attended and the spirit
ofGod was present in great power.
The morning service at i0:30 was
a service Of conservation for Christ
ians. 1t was deeply impressive and
tender, perhaps over one hundred
christians renewed their vows and
pledged larger life to the Masters
service. People were kneeling all
round the platform and all over the
house.
The expense account, which will
he about 5000, was almost raised at
this service.
Mr. Johnston gave strong ad-
dress to the men at 2:3O along the
lines of purity and a finer cleaner
manhood. He handled certain SUBJ
jects with great candor but in per-
fectly clean manner. The men gave
to the general expense account in
this meeting about SIS.
In the evening there were about
40 decisions, among these we MOTTO
ed a Young married couple
All of these services are greatly
helped by the very acceptable work
of the 100 voiced choir led by Mr.
| Forsythe. The solo work also of
Mr. Forsythe is a feature Of the SER
vices and grows strongly in favor.

ish certain children who. she said,
had been telling stories about her
boy and girl. Miss Griffin refused
to consider any happenings outside
the school room, and just then Mrs
Fuld caught sight of Herman Fisk,
one of the pupils.
There is one of the BOYS who
have been taking about us, she
shreaked, and flew at him in a pas
sion. She began cutting him on the
side of the head and causing the boy
whose arm had just been broken, to
howl with pain.
Miss Griffin followed closely after
and securing something like a half

in the middle Of the room. The two
women glared at each other for a
moment, then Mrs Fuld arose and

here.
Today, Saturday, Mrs b. and the
writer boarded a street car, and
crossed the Rio Grande river into
the city Of Juarez, Old Mexico, and
for the first time in our lives eXper-
fenced the sensation of having pass
ed out from under the protecting
shade of the stars and stripes. And
the surroundings made it as COM
plete as if we had been a thousand
miles away. Uncle Sans custom
officers guard the crossings and
watch for the smuggler's tricks.
Both countries keep a number of
soldiers here on their own side of the
river.
The Mexican city of Juarez is one
of the old Spanish settlements. Its
buildings are adobe, the sun dried
brick. They are crude and ancient
novels, one. story, and in no way at
tractive. Here and there a two
story, brick, perhaps built by Amer
leans, loom up like sky scrapers.
The streets are narrow, and the
"houseS" are built close on the
street line. On some streets as a
door opens one may see a woman or
a horse come out, as the barns ana
houses alternate side by side.
The shops are little dinky affairs
20 feet deep, and running 80 to 100
feet along the street. They contain
displays of the celebrated Mexican
drawn work so attractive to the eyes
of all American women. Many
Mexican and Indian souvenirs are
also displayed to attract Uncle Sans
coin from the tourist. And every
lady buys some little thing to hold
in her hand for the custom officer to
see when she returns. The Ameri-
can lady is a candid person, when
you get acquainted with her, and
she always frankly carries some
thing in sight to show the lynx
eyed officer who must smile to HIM
self when he can break the dignity
of his face.
The MeXicanS loll about, or Saunt-
er here and there, with nothing to
do. Their average size, dress. and
manner of life, indicate there infer
iority to the white man, and big
irrigation ditch running through the
town tells how they get water to
raise their vegetables on the sun
baked desert.
Their markets are after the old
French style, all under enc roof,
where everything to eat is sold from
booths. And you ought to sense
their meat booths! If northern
butcher kept such dirty place he
would be chased out of town.
But it wasn't our country, SO we
wont "holler" which fact is quick
ly impressed upon an American. as
he views these dark, swarthy people
of Spanish blood, with their sullen
stare. This was also neatly ilustrat-
ed as we strolled through asm all ex-
cuse for park, with Mexican work
men and loafers all about where a
kind word or a glass of water"
would cause heart failure. We
were hailed by a hearty American
voice. from an old gentleman with
a white skin, an empty sleeve and a
little brown button on his coat lapel.

unfairly saluted and murmured
