FROM FAR WESTERN AFRICA.
Rev. MaioIa Agbebi as Organizer of
Christian Endeavor Societies.

A number of Christian Endeavor So
cities in western Africa owe their ori-
gin to a society formed in Lagos in
May, 1897. The evangelistic spirit has
been characteristic of the movement
there. The parent society has had n
woman's circle that has been the
means of bringing to Christ more than
200 persons. A missionary circle has
also done excellent service in sp.ead-
ing the gospel through the region.
At New Calabar, in southern Nigeria,
the members do Christian work among
cannibal tribes and at the markets,
one person alone having been the
means Of bringing whole town to
Christ. At Old Calabar also there is
an energetic band of workers.
At one point in central Nigeria an

THAT WATER QUESTiON-A BUS.
MESS PROPOSITION ONLY.

| have read with interest the diff
water question. The very important
questions TO first arise are: Shall we
buy that plant for sl4,400,000 or shall
we give them a 20-year franchise, or
shall we do neither and build one of
of our own? | am in favor of the
last question-building one of our
own and neither buying nor giving
them a franchise worth millions of
dollars The first question TO con-
slider is to whom does the water of
this state belong. 1t is clearly de-
cided by the constitution. ssatVtes
and decisions of this state that the
water belongs to the people. So ali
any individual or set of individuals
can do at the most is to acquire
right to CARRY the water in their
bitches, pipes and connections, etc.
The next step is what rights have the
Denver Union Water company ac-
quired so as to make it absolutely
necessary for us to buy them or as
an alternative give them a franchise.
The stipulations entered into by the
city and county of Denver and the
Denver Union Water company did not
make it obligatory upon the city to
either buy or give them franchise,
SO the city can do either one. There
has been enough data produced in the
daily papers which shows eminently
that plant like as the Denver
Union Water company's plant is only
worth about 100000 or 10000, 900
at the RICHEST price as estimated by
the labor body, the Ministerial AIN
ance and other civic organizations.
Then to give s14,40O,000 for a plant
only worth 100000 or s10,0O0,000
would be sheer nonsense from bust.
ness standpoint. This question should
be only dealt with from business
standpoint Or to give franchise
which makes a citizen in Denver use
and pay an exorbitant price for the
water furnished by the company and
which franchise is worth many mil
lions to the present owners and theil
children or assigns, is very unfair tc
the taxpayers who have that burden
| to stand Remember that you pay
the water company your rent, not fol
the water, but for the furnishing tc
you the water through their pipes
and connections. Then why bint
yourself and your children for q
years to contract for the service

Zimmerman Dies from Excitement
After the Rescue-Three Ladies in
the Party.
Madison, Wis, May 17.-Clinging
desperately to their frail canoes, cap
sized IN a terrific squall in University
bay OF Mendoza lake, seven students
at the University of Wisconsin were
rescued by fellow collegians, just as
they had aba loned all hope. So
great was the excitement, however,
that on reaching shore. Clarence l.
Zimmerman, one of the rescued men,
died of heart failure.
The merry party of three young
women and four men started out from
the university early in the afternoon
for an outing at Picnic point, about
mile down the bay. The weather
was fair and the bay calm. Three
canoes were used.
In the party were Clarence |. Zim-
norman, Milwaukee; Miss Martha Rog-
ers. Dayton. o.; Miss Alice Webb, Mil
waukee, writer on the University
Press Bulletin; Miss Marion Cooper,
Black River Falls, Wis; Chester
Bragg, Lake Mills, Wis; P. M. Beach.
Madison, Wis, and r. p. Hoffman,
Madison, Wis.
The canoes had gone but a shore
distance, when the skies began to
darken and terrific wind sprang up.
1t was impossible to turn back and
the students went with the wind, pad
ding desperately for the nearest
shore.
All three canoes were capsized, how
ever, by terrific gust, and the stu
dents were foundering in the water.
Their screams for help were heard
ashore by Cadet Captain Ralph Nc
Coy and Cadet Sergeant Atkins, who
jumped in motor boat and speeded
to their assistance.
The picnickers were well night ex-
hausted when the launch came to be-
side them. The young women were
first hauled aboard and the men then
taken care of.
Zimmerman, who had struggled
desperately to keep one Of the girls
afioat, was practically unconscious
when rescued. The launch sped back
and Zimmerman was placed on the
beach while Sergeant Atkins ran for
medical assistance Before a doctor
could arrived he had breathed his last.

Mrs. Taft probably will be all right
again in few days.
She was unable to be present at an
official dinner.
President Taft prepared the follow
ing statement in regard to Mrs. Taft's
condition:
Mrs. Taft is suffering from slight
nervous attack. She visited an eye.
ear and throat specialist where Charlie
Taft underwent slight operation on
his throat. She was with him for sew
eral hours She then started with the
president and a small party of friends
on the Sylph for Mount Vernon. The
excitement, heat and exertion were
too much for Mrs. Taft's nerves and
the party was obliged to turn back be-
fore reaching Alexandria. Mrs Taft
was quickly carried to the White
House. The doctor says that after
few days of complete rest Mrs. Taft
may be able to resume her social
duties. Dr. Delaney is in attendance"
Mrs. Taft's illness probably will not
interfere with the presidents trip to

FARMERS GOWN ELEVATORS
They Indorse Plan to Get Rid OF
the Specuiator

A plan to construct chain OF eleva-
tors in the grain producing territory
for the purpose of holding wheat for
high prices was Endorsed at Springfield,
Mo-, by the mass meeting of the grain
growers and cattle growers of the Ma.
tional Farmers union.
1t is believed by delegates in attend
ance that farmers by next season will
be prepared to handle large part Of
their crops in this way.
The use of cotton in the manufact-
ure of Irvine, rope, sacks and other
articles in common use was Endorsed.
1t was stated in the meeting that six
million more bales of cotton would
be consumed if manufacturers would
use the cotton of the south, instead Of
importing jute from the Philippines.
