NOTES BY R. s. HOLMES.

Five years passed after Saul con-
version before the events recorded IN
the lesson Tor to-day. PAU had be-
gun 10 preach that Jesus is Christ.
That was his one text lie had spent
some time in Damascus, some years III
solitude in Arabia, brief time IN Jcru-
salem, and had finally gone home to
Tarsus IN Cilicia At Jerusalem Bar
nabas had become his friend and had
introduced him To the apostles.
The death OF Stephen was the begin
ming oi all the stir IN the Church.
Emboldcncd by success IN sillcncing
Stephen the Jews began their active
persecution. The disciples scattered.
The lesson tells little ui what they
did.
THE LESSON.
Notice how God works The ablcst
and most earnest gi all the Jerusalem
company was brutally murdered. The
cnragcd Jews began persecution OF
all Christians They fled far and wide;
TO Cyprus, to Phcuicc, to Cyrene, to
Antioch Wherever they went they
preached. The outcome was a great
revival IN Antioch, and a name for all
disciples to last forever Christians
The lesson IS the story OF the power
OF the Gospel in a great Roman city.
But 1t was not among GcnulcS, or out
siderS, that the power was manifest.
Jews only heard the story ot Jesus,
the prophet OF Nazareth al Galllcc, a
man approved by God by signs and
wonders. To-day such a work would
be called a revival men Il Was called

Yps,lAnr, STATION CLOSED

In response to an appeal from the
citizens of ..Stutsman county near
Ypsilanti there will be hearing
given by the board of railroad COM
missioners at public meeting at
Jamestown, Thursday, March, l1th,
to receive evidence and testimony
relating to the proposed closing of
the N. P. Ry. company's station at
Ypsilanti. It has been customary
for the railroad company to close
this Office each year during slack
time and the citizens this year have
raised an objection, claiming that
business warrants keeping the sta
tion open and that the closing re-
suits in hardship upon the people
of that section.

AN IOWA BLIZZARD

The following blizzard note is ta-
ken from a Waterloo, Iowa newspa-
per: "The rigors of the blizzard
recently drove a herd of cattle into a
rural school in Grundy county.
Buffeted by the storm, the stock
broke in the door and..as many of the
herd of thirty entered as could get
in.
sFour head Of cattle and a horse
were left outside unable to gain en-
trance and froze to death.
t'The cattle were not an orderly
bunch Of scholars. Seats and desks
were overturned and broken, and the
school books looked as If they had
been run through a corn shredder.
Even the floor was broken in places.
Two Of the cattle were trampled to
DEATH"
If such q thing as this had oc.
CURED in North Dakota the sensa-
tional writer's. .of the big eastern pa
pers would have displayed and spread
the news al over the country with
scare headlines.

TEN YEARS IN PEN

Minot, N. D., March 2.-Dr. Thor
Moeller was found guilty of murder
in the second degree, the verdict be-
ing reached after the jury had been
out since late Friday afternoon.
Judge Goss Immediately imposed a
sentence Of ten years in the peniten-
tiary on the physician.
The charge against DR.. Moeller
was based on the death Of Miss Gina
Lien, as the result of criminal
operation alleged to have been per-
formed by the physician. The trial
proved one of the most sensational
ever held in this district.

during the panic when seven and a
half per cent was the rate paid. He
answered, in response to question,
shat he thought it would take $780,
600 to meet the twine purchasing
contingency; that $500 would not
be enough to set aside for this pur-
pose.
In regard to Architect Hancock S
services he said he was to receive
81 500 fat and S25 visit when called
on to oversee work. He now has a
bill of s575 for visits pending before
the trustees and he had received 800
expenses for visiting other prisons
with the trustees before building the
new cell house. This was all the
compensation Hancock received.
In regard to advertising for
plumbing contracts the warden stated
he gave sufficient notice but did not
recall whether by advertisement for
bids or not, but received four bids.
The committee had complaint
from G. W. Wolbert that he, only had
two days. notice over the phone and
asked the warden to look this mat
ter up and inform them. The state
ment made that Mr.. Hancock had
purchased the plumbing fittings, ETC., {,
from the Federal company of Chica-
go, was denied, and the warden
stated that he personally, by cores
pondence, had made the purchases
from this company.
The matter of the water rent due
when Warden Hellstrom took Office
was brought out. No compromise
could be made with the water COM
pany, 50 the state paid the bill in
tull as the old contract called for,
and the reduced rate went into effect
when Hellstrom became warden.
Mr.. Hellstrom explained what
changes he had made in the way of
bookkeeping to keep better track of
the various funds.
The warden completed his testi-
mony explaining the reason why the
amounts at certain times remitted
to the state treasurer we're so large.
The law requires the money to be re-
mitted in $4,000 installments., The
warden. showed that some days the
receipts were as high as $50, 900.
The matter of the warden's ad-
vancing money to purchase various
supplies. ETC., was taken up. Mem
bers of the committee think it is a
bad practice and there lis an oppor-
tunity for abuse.
The practice Of the trustees In
charging per diem from the time Of
leaving home until their return home
was examined into. Chairman Pierce
thought it was a violation of law.
There are opinions Of the supreme
court on the subject.

CIVIC IMPROVE
MENT LEAGUE
Held First Meeting Of Year.
Election Of Officers
and Plans.

AAO OAVAS PAOvSAAOAO AVN Wv
held their first meeting of the season
in the city hall Saturday afternoon.
There was a large attendance and
much interest was shown in the work
of the league.
A report of the work of the past
year was given by each officer and
Mr.. Crane showed his plan for this
years school garden. The plan is to
have a Is tt. border Of grass around
the garden and in the centre of many
rectangular beds, the N. P. insignia.
The plan is to have more plants
started by the greenhouse men, for
two reasons, first that the garden
may bloom earlier; second, that each
child may have experience in trans
planting as we'll as in raising flowers
from seeds ane bulbs. This will
make the cost greater than last year
but the League pledged themselves
to raise the money. Miss Hall, treas
urer, reported that several men had
volunteered their membership fee Of
81 a year to the League. If they
would all do so this year the ladies
would feel greatly encouraged in their
work.
MI. Crane said he had never worked
in anything which had given him SO
much pleasure, for everyone was
ready to help the garden along.
After the reports the election OF
officers was held and the following
officers we're chosen:
President. Mrs. A. NJ. Burt; vice
president at large, Mrs. W. B. De-
Nault; secretary, Mrs. J. NJ. Rowe;
treasurer, Mrs. D. G. Wood: vice
president, lst ward, Mrs. J. U. Hem
mi; vice president, End ward, Mrs.
G.. A. Lieber; vice president, 3rd
ward Mrs. S. A. Wilder; vice presi-
dent. 4th ward, Mrs. Hugh Bole.
After the election there was dis
cussion OF work for the coming year.
Several ladies spoke of the careless
throwing around of handbills. The
committee on exterminating flies
made the following suggestions:
That manure in which flies lay
their eggs should either be put in a
large box covered with screens or
should be removed every S days.
That garbage in which flies also lay
their eggs should be kept in covered
cans.
That rain barrels be kept covered.
That to lessen the danger Of flies
carrying the germs of tuberculosis
and other diseases, signs with "Do
not spit' printed on them be pur-
chased, as these would not be affected
by wind and rain, and that butchers,
grocers and bakers be asked to keep
food exposed for sale behind fly
screens.
Mrs. Boyden, in her report as vice.
president at large, urged that the
League do all in Its power to help
the anti-tuberculosis work IN James
town, and ask the teacher to impress
on the school children the danger Of
splitting on the sidewalk and in pub
lie places.
After the meeting light refresh
ments were served.
1t is to be hoped that this year we
will have a cleaner and more beauti-
full jamestown than ever.

FINALLY GOT CAR TO STOP
Confirmed Hopper" Brought to Real ze What 1t Meant to Have
 Reputation.

Every mOtOrman, every conductor knew him. He was the young fel- low they didn't have to stop for a. Pratt street. He always got on, it mattered not how fast the car was going. He was so good at 1t thH the motorman never thought of stop ping for him, in fact, they delight ed in turning on just little more hurry juice, to see if he wouldn't let the car go by. But not this boy. They couldn't roll them too fast for him-not until one day last week.
 That day taught him that it wasn't good to have all the motor men depending on him to get aboard without a stop. It happened that Mr. Car Jumper had injured his knee by falling off the rear seat of a motor cycle. The result was that he had a stiff knee.
 When he appeared at the Pratt street corner the next morning to take the car to go to work, he stood out and waited for the car to stop. Not that car! It went sailing by, and the conductor, who was on the back porch, gave him the laugh and waved to him to run and catch the rapidly moving car. MT. Car Jump CT felt the bangs of chagrin work ing in his system.
 Another car came. He waved tc the motorman to stop, and the mar at the controller only waved back thinking he was receiving MT. Cal Jumpers usual order to turn on tho current and go. The car went by and the conductor laughed. Th' third car merely repeated the pass ing game. MT. Car Jumper was il despair. Finally, he limped back t the house, called his little sister anC made her stand beside him at tn corner until he got car to stop anC pick him up.-Indianapolis News.

Patrick Clanahan, the new section hand, was a sworn enemy to the ex- isting state of railroad things. One morning he was sent to bridge four miles out of the yards, to tighten some fishplates. It was pay day morning, and would be the first pay day for Patrick While he was working on the bridge the pay train rolled up. stopped, and in a moment the pay master called:
 Whats your name?"
 Patrick Clanahan."
 Come aboard and get your money"
 After the pay train had gone Pat counted his little bunch of bills and unused:
 "Ill niver say another worrud about low wa-ages an robbin' railroads. No wondher tn comp'ny can't pay me amy more than it does, whin 1t has to hire a gang O min as big as that an buy an ingine an cars to boot fir naw- thin ilse than to bring me money to mel"
