WILL JUDGE CORN
OF CO. STUDENTS
ELEMENTARY AGRICULTURE
WILL HoLDATTENTIoN IN cAss
COUNTY EDUCATIONAL DE-
PARTMENT ON FRIDAY--MANY
STUDENTS INTERESTED.

The agricultural feature Of educa-
tional work in Cass county will hold
the boards on Friday. Under the d.
rection OF supr Matte M. Davis the
annual corn show and contest win be
held on that day at the courthouse
and everything indicates that 1t viii
be a banner event. The corn raised
by students of country schools, from
seeds furnished by the county super
intendent, will be displayed. Ten ears
from each contestant can be entered,
along with the essays on the same
subject.
AS announced by the superintendent
several days ago, it Is not necessary
for the contestants to come to the
courthouse in person, as in the past.
Cash prizes aggregaring $25 have
been offered by Mrs. Davis personally
and will be paid according to the
scores as judged by Professor Rand
lett Of the agricultural college who
has been chosen to grade the samples
entered.
A little chap who has entered the
contest every year told sad story at
the office Of the superintendent the
other day. It seems that every year
something has happened to the corn
which he planted for the contest. This
year the COW got into the garden and
leaving fine corn on both sides, de-
stroyed that which was raised from
the contest seed. He was not at all
discouraged however, and next year
will enter the contest again.

MuRDock's PETITION FAILS.
Another Attack On Rules Through Ma
iority Vote rs Planned.

jority Vote 10 Planned.
Washington. Dec. 1.--Representa-
tive Victor Murdoch of Kansas has
been forced to call a halt in his cam
paign to force the resignation of
Speaker Cannon. One reason for this
is that he has been unable to get the
signatures OF any democrats now in
town to the petition he had prepared,
and another Is the absence from the
city of other republican insurgents. He
has, therefore, decided to make another
attack on the rules through majority
vote of the house.
A few days ago Mr.. Murdoch an
nounced that forty seven republican
members, including Davis, Nye, Stew
ems, Volstead, Miller, Stevenson and
Lindbergh of Minnesota, would join the
movement to GUST Speaker Cannon. 1t
ia presumed that the Kansas man in
cluded these Minnesota members be-
cause they voted against the tariff bill.
II he Is relying upon the help of all
these Minnesota members, 1t is proba-
BILE he will be disappointed. There is a
possibility that Davis Of the third dis
trict would sign such petition, be-
cause he has feud with Mr., Cannon
for several years and has not hesitated
to speak hts mind about the speaker on
every and all occasions.
With the new line of attack, Mr..
Murdoch is expressing confidence that
he can make some Roadway. 1T is his
hope that with the bait of the rules
he expects to secure democratic sup
port to petition for the appointment
of acommittee to consider the rules and
suggest such notifications as may be
found necessary. Ii a sufficient num-
Der Of members sign the petition. Mr..
Murdoch liz expected to present 1t to
the speaker and asked for recognition
that he may present the proper resolu-
tion to the house. 1T is expected, also
that the speaker win inform Mr.. MUIR
dock that the only way In which this
matter can be brought before the house
is to have the resolution introduced In

Oldest Engine Driver on the Great
Northern Railway, Hlll's Favor
ite, Succumbs.

st. Paul. MINI. Dec. 1.--Albin b.
Smith for forty-five years an employe
of the Great Northern, thirty years of
which he spent as engineer, died last
night in ST. Josephs hospital at the
age of 70 years from blood poison
which developed after receiving a
scratch about ten days ago. Mr.. Smith
lived at 1853 Capitol Heights. He re-
tired from active service on the Great
Northern four years ago. He was the
oldest engineer in the service of the
Hill line.
During all his time at the throttle
Mr. Smith hauled trains out of st.
Paul Through good fortune and his
own good judgment he never had a
wreck, which, considering the number
of years during which he drove To-
connective, is a most remarkable record.
Mr.. Smith was known intimately by
J. J. Hill and until shortly before his
retirement he was always selected as
engineer TO pilot Mr.. HIPS special
train.
He was a member of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers, in which
he took active interest and Of which he
was one of the oldest local members.

SUPPOSED DEAD
Man RETURNS
AGED LAKE SEAMAN, GONE "a
YEARS, CENTER OF REUNION
SAW HIS SUPPOSED
DOUBLE.

Chicago, Dec. Henry Deplidge,
for twenty -four years separated from
his children, and supposed by them to
be dead, walked into the home of one
of his daughters in Chicago last night
and today there was a reunion in which
four generations were represented.
The meeting between Deplidge, his
children, his grandchildren, and his
great took place in the
home of John F. Tyrrell, 4247 West End
avenue. a grandson OF Mr.. Deplidge by
virtue of his marriage to one of the
granddaughters.
Lake Seaman q Lifetime.
Mr.. Deplidge is 70 years old, and
since young man has sailed the Great
Lakes first as a common sailor and
later as mate and captain. He retired
six years ago and has been living in
Buffalo. without kith or kin to COM
fort him in his old age, Captain De-
plidge decided few days ago to come
to Chicago and search for his sons and
daughters.
Twenty four years had made SO
many changes in the appearance of the
city that when he arrived here Captain
Deplidge almost gave up hope of find-
ing any one who might know him, and
wandered down along the river front.
There he found some OF his old cronies
of the days when he was captain of a
lake boat running out of Chicago, and
through them finally located John M
Barber, 1857 Elston avenue, his SON.

Daughter Sees Him From Car.
Curiously enough, the same day. Mrs
George Taylor, another daughter, saw
Mr.. Deplidge on Randolph street while
she was on a street car. She had heard
that he was dead and did not believe
the man she saw was her father. She
returned to her home and told how
she had seen the double of her father
and while she was telling the story
the doorbell rang. Going to the door
she found him standing there with Mr.

REEVES OLD CLAIM.

Against Great Northern.

Fireman. Brings. Action for $4,000
Against Great Northern.
The Great Northern railroad was
yesterday called upon to pay claim
for $4,000 damages for injuries sus-
tanned by former fireman, which the
company settled for 5000 three years
ago.
The case was up for trial before
Judge Kelly in the district court, st.
Paul. William Kinzell OF Riga, N. D.,
asserted that four years ago his eye
sight was damaged by the premature
blowing out Of a flue value on the To-
connective which he was firing. M. L.
Countryman, attorney for the Great
Northern, fought the C~se for the rail-
road. and o. II. O'Neill was attorney
for Kinzell.
1t developed during the testimony
that soon after Kinzell was injured by
the f1ue blast at Riga, four years ago,
he settled with the company for 5000
and went back TO work. Later he came
up for examination for promotion and
was rejected because Of defective WIS.,
ion. Then he lost his Job and at once
started suit on the plea that the first
settlement with the railroad company
was made while he was under age.

VIRTUES OF
old LUMBER JACK
REV. FRANK c. HIGGINS, "SKY Pl.
LOT" SAYS PEOPLE MAKE
TOO MUCH OF WOOD.
MEMS FAULTS.

Duluth, Dec. 1.-While the faults of
the lumberjack are shouted from the
housetops, his virtues generally pass
unnoticed."
So said Rev. Frank II. Higgins, the
"lumberjack sky pilot" whose sermon
on A Purpose in Life. was heard by
the congregation of the First Pres
byterian church last night.
with all his failings, the man of
the woods has repeatedly shown him
self. in pinch, to be more of a man
than the average fellow who will sit
in his comfortable city home and crit
icise him.
"On many occasions when / have
dropped into the camps unexpectedly
on winter nights, these men have
given up their beds to me, to lie
down on the hard earth with nothing
but q blanket to cover them" said
the missionary.
Rev Mr.. Higgins spoke interestingly
Of the different means taken by him
to get into the good graces Of the men
of the woods.
zone night while was leading a
meeting in a northern Minnesota 1um-
Der camp, happened to mention
that could handle my end of saw

Gated 70 1t while boy in the Canadian
woods.
"Well, the boys not being willing to
take this for granted, hauled out what
I thought was an extra large tree
trunk and babe me demonstrate, and
want to say right here that they made
me go some'" and the missionary
wiped the perspiration from his brow
as the recollection of the occasion
swept over him.
Rev. Mr.. Higgins told OF his early
struggle to get an education in the
high school, giving the Duluth Bethel
credit for lending him material assist
ance to this end.
even while a boy in the Canada
woods, I resolved that would be a
preacher and I used to go out in the
woods often and address the stumps
made up my mind that IL ever / die
become preacher would not belong
to the bunch who are everlastingly re-
minding folks of their faults but would
do what could to lend helping hand
to every man who needed It," he said

other companies for infringement of a
patent right.
The patent right involved related to
the syphon method of refrigerating. 1t
was the contention of the Seeger Co..
that II had obtained the rights to the
Quinn patent. and that afterward the
White Enamel Refrigerator Co. had
secured the rights to a similar patent,
which had been taken out in the name
Of one Ames.
Decision Is Final.
The defendants. 1t is said, admitted
that they had equipped 10000 cars and
$500 house refrigerators with the con-
tested patent equipment, and that the
amount of profit from each car was
about $50 and the profits from the
house refrigerators about Sc each at
the lowest figure.
The courts did not announce the
amount of damages to be awarded but
this will be based on either the profits
to the defendants from the illegal use
of the patents or on the damage to
the plaintiff company. The first amount
1t Is said. will be about 1880, 600.
The decision is said to be final, as
there is no allegation Of fraud, and
the suit is an equity proceeding which
does not admit of appeal to the SUI
preme court.

PUTS WORDS ABOVE MONEY.
Expression on Evangelical Christianity
More Potent Than Cash.

New York, Dec. John d. Rookie
feller's most needed contribution to re-
ligion, according to Rev. Mr.. Oscar
Haywood of this city is words. not
money. An expression from him, DR..
Haywood contends, would do more
than anything else to equalize religious
differences and establish broad bond
Of brotherhood.
Rockefeller has the brain of Caesar,
and unlimited moral influence" said
the clergyman during his sermon at
the Church Of the Covenant today.
Then let our most conspicuous man
of wealth define his position with ref
erence to evangelical christianity. For
one, would await with confidence his
answer.
He is the founder OF a scientific
university which proposes to substi-
tute scientific, speculative PHILOSOPHERS
and scientific hypothesis for the sim
pie religion Of faith. creating an aris-
tocracy Of scholars, and accentuating
the imaginary gulf between the rich
and the poor. Now let him make the
contribution OF 100 words to the worlds

 He relates an amusing incident which occurred the night he arrived in camp. There had been a storm and the men were all cold and tired from the long journey. and as soon as they had been warmed up at the fire some of them started to look for supper. one being hungrier than the rest spied a couple of cans on shelf, one of which contained breakfast food. Seiz- ing this he said he would have some and turn in and not wait for anything to be cooked.
