W. Z. Millar and wife Of Bur
lington have returned from San
Diego and Long Beach, CAL,
where they spent several months
visiting with their daughter,
Mrs. Foote. They say they en-
joyed the finest trip Of their
lives. They saw the sixteen u.
s. battleships on parade at San
Diego few days ago, and went
through several Of the ships, one
Of them being the flagship, The
Connecticut. They say the sight
was q great one, and one that is
surprising in every way. Every
thing about the ships is in the
cleanest possible condition. Tee
is manufactured right on the
ships and most Of the work is
done by electricity. The ships
are all lighted with electricity.
Thousands Of electric lights were
strung about the ships, making
the sight at night one akin to
paradise. The sailors are very
friendly and take great pleasure
in showing the guests about the
fleet. Mr.. Millar was surprised
that there were so many young
men in the navy, many of them
being in their teens. In facts|
some Of the best gunners arey
lads under q years Of age.
San Diego wore her gala dresa
for the occasion Of the coming of
the fleet. Arches were to he,
seen everywhere over the city.
The sailors enjoyed themselves, 4

and looked for it longingly each |

Last winter, while the big fire.
at Crosby was in Lrogress, a key
Of dynamite was brot forth, it
being the intentions of the citi-
zens to dynamite a building to
stop the progress Of the fire. For
some reason the key Of dynamite
was not used and the key was
forgotten. The other day two
Crosbyites, hunting gophers
spied the key near the corner Of
an old sod barn, ABOUT fifty yards
away from them. They shot at
it, and Immediately found them
selves on the ground, but not
much hurt. The bullets had ex-.
ploded the dynamite and the ex-
plosion was heard for many miles
around and the buildings were
terribly shaken. A cloud OF dust
was raised that could be seen for
miles.

Lem Wright Married.

Lemuel Wright who has been
in Texas for the past winter,
where he has been successful in
the search Of health, surprised
his many friends in Minot by
taking unto himself a wife, Miss
Della Sheridan, Of Bloomington,
Ill. Che wedding occurred at
San Antonio, Texas, April, %.
No one here knew that Lem was
contemplating matrimony.
Miss Sheridan was also in Tex
as for her health and the two
met and were in each others
company a good deal. Friend
ship soon ripened into love, and
a happy marriage was the culmi-
nation Of it.
The couple will leave Texas
the first of June for the north,
stopping in Bloomington for a
few days, after which they will
come to Minot to spend the sum-
raer, The bride is said to be a
charming young woman and will
be welcomed to this city by Mr..
Wright's many friends. There
isn't a better fellow in the uni
verse than Lem Wright, and the
Independent knows that he has
chosen the best kind Of a woman
for his helpmate. Mr.. Wright
was employed at the printers
trade in this city for a number of
years, and was conducting a very
successful business Of his own,
when he was compelled to go
south for his health.
We trust that the couple may
locate in Minot. The Indepen-
dent extends congratulations to
Mr.. and Mrs. Wright.

testify that they have experienced bet

Upon request by THE EVENING
STAR the first readers OF the three
largest christian Science churches in
New Jersey consented to express their
opinion upon the numerous attacks
made upon Christian Scientists from
time to time.
Theodore ID. Warren, first reader OF
First Church in Orange. said:
IT thank THE EVENING STAR for
the spirit OF Justice in allowing Chris
tian Science to repel in it's widely read
columns accounts untruely reported in
some other quarter.
"ChrIstian Science Is understood by
its members and constantly increasing

knows.
This improved method of healing
diseases has Won our confidence by lis
remarkable success. When %coroners
juries. become aware OF the many cures
wrought by divine love in Christian
Science they viii cease to blame Chris
tian Science practitioners for an occa-
sional failure to heal some disease that
has baked medical Skill. :
Charles G.. Bliss. first reader OF the
First Church in Crawford, states.
"The accusations against Christisn
Scientists, so far as they have come
under my observation, rave been in
varisbly based upon prejudice or a lnck
Of understanding of the teachings of
Christian Science.
II think it is high time that malicious
reports should cease and that the same
consideration be extended to Christian
Science practitioners as to others who
are endeavoring to heal the sick. II
is my opinion that Christian Science
has beer greatly mlsrepresented in
event of failure to heal diseases pro-
nounced incurable by physicians, while
the instances of healing of ~so-called
diseases by Christian Science methods
have not been duly published and rec
ognized.'
Mrs. Agnes Green Sigler, first reader
of Christian Scientists In this city,
said: "The good people who applied to
Christian Science for help in the case
of Frederick Bronn, of Ramsey, assert
their ~conscientious belief that the
Christian Science practitioners who at
tended their brother should not be
held responsible In any way for his
death. 1t would seem that this state
ment, coming from the relatives of the
deceased, should merit careful consid-
