York" Tonight.

twasanotherlarge and well-pleased
crowd that attended the performance
given by the Maxim & Sights COM
pany last evening, when they pre-.
sented the well-known drama, East
Lynne" All of the members of this
company are clean and capable
ladies and gentlemen, and managed
by man whose life has been spent
in good works, both on and off the
stage. It is little wonder that such
excellent people draw good crowds
Last nights version of East
Lynne" was by far the best ever
given here, not one word of the long
original lines being eliminated and
the cast being in capable hands.
Pauline Sights, as Lady Isabelle, ,
was very clever, she depicting the
part in a realistic manner that to
ward the close of the performance
brought tears to the majority of the
audience.
Tonight, the company will give
WAITS of New York." This is {
fine play, in four acts, with seve r
scenes, and it is expected that TO.

The Marvel Of Color Photography.

The reproduction of color by pho.
Biography is one of the most wonder
full of the later discoveries in pho.
toeraphic art, and it is not surpris.
ing that Sweet, ever abreast of the
latest developments, was the first to
show results along this line. One
of the attractive features of a visit
to the Minneapolis studio is a COL
lection of this work, one portrait
being reproduction of the flesh
tints of nature most faithfully, while
a many-hued bouquet of flowers and
delicate]y toned draperies indicate
the possibilities of this new process.

cry life in, the south, was one of the
great factors in rousing abolitionistic
sentiment.
Mr.. Bailey referred to the great
civil war and its awful toll of human
lives, and at what cost the negro
was freed. The speaker referred to
Abraham Lincoln as the greatest
man of modern times, and he elo.
quently alluded to the final union of
the blue and the gray, when the
north and south had all sectional
lines eliminated, which is the con-
dition that prevails today,
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bailey's
principal address, a rising vote of
thanks was given the speaker, every
person in the room standing, at the
request of Professor Hay.
In response to request made by
Superintendent Stewart, Mr.. Bailey
again spoke and told something of
horrors of prison life in the south,
and stated that he had personally
visited Andersonville prison and
knew of the horrors which have
since been depicted as existing at
that place.
Conrade Martin stated that he
could not talk of the war and Mr..
Bailey explained that many of the
old veterans could not talk of the
terrible experience they had in those
trying days.
The session closed with the sing
ing of "America," which was given
with a hearty good will.

THE BIBLE CONFERENCE
WILL CONCLUDE SUNDAY
Fifth Annual Session of Bible Students Has Been One of
Great Interest, and Productive of Much Good to All
Who Have Been in Attendance

The Bible Conference makes gain
in attendance, interest and powe
with each succeeding day. Frida,
was the best yet in all these respects
A church full of people, who hat
laid aside their daily occupations
sat from 9 until IL o'clock eagerly
catching every word which fel
from the lips of these bible teachers
in our midst.
The other teachers admitted, to.
day, that the work of Count GeIes-
nof at 9 o'clock on ages and Dis.
pensations" was superior to anything
of the kind they had ever heard
about. This great bible teacher is
able, in the most pre-emminent
manner; to delineate the fascinating
features of God in the old book.
Those who sit at the feet of this
master are constrained to exclaim,
Never man spake like this man."
He speaks with authority and not
as the higher critic.
At II o'clock DR.. Soltau spoke
on the first six chapters of the book
of Daniel, showing how Dan, a man
of faith, lived an overcoming life.
In the first chapter, he is seen to
overcome the self-life, or the flesh"
of scripture. In the second chapter
he is seen to overcome fear of dan
ger. In the third chapter we see
him overcome false religion. In the
fifth the world and in the sixth chap
ter he overcame fear of society. In
all these he gained the victory be-
cause he had absolute faith in God.
DR.. Luccock gave another of his
most delightful and charming talks
on the text Without Me, We Can
Do Nothing" We are unable to
pray without Jesus. We are unable
to be or do right without Him. We
are unable to render any acceptable
service without Him. The all
sufficiency of God reposes in Christ
and man may lay hold of that power
through Christ.
At the o'clock hour, DR.. Soltau

Yesterdays session of the Bemid il
summer school which is being held
in the Central school building in
this city was intensely interesting
because of the patriotic nature of
the session.
w. B. Stewart, county superin-
tendent of schools, and Prof. J. H.
Hay, conductor of the summer
school, decided to devote yesterday
forenoon to a patriotic session and
with that end in view invited H.
w. Bailey, commander of Bemidji
G. A. R. Post. and T. ]. Martin,
also member of the local post, to
speak to the teachers and others
who were in attendance at the
school.
The high school had been very
prettily decorated with flags and
bunting and the national colors
were present everywhere.
Professor Stewart called the gath
ering to order for the patriotic ses-
sion and in few brief words intro
dnced Mr.. Bailey as one of the men
who had participated in the great
civil war and had personally known
President Lincoln and other notable
abolitionists at the time of the
beginning of the great struggle
between the north aid the south.
Mr.. Bailey read his address, which
was exceedly patriotic and very
interesting, and he began by stating
that since time commenced there
had always been abolitionists,
tyrants and reformers and that
there had been someone who had
appeared and released those in
slavery from bondage.
Mr.. Bailey referred to Christ as a
reformer and an abolitionist of high
character.
The speaker stated that he was
born in Ohio, which was the head of
the abolitionist movement which
preceded the civil war, and said that
he personally knew many of the
noted abolitionists of those days. He
valued, more highly than anything
he ever possessed, his personal friend
ship with Lincoln, whom he had
known well and whom he had often
heard speak.
Mr.. Bailey told of the dark days
preceding the war, when Gods PEG.
pie we're torn asunder in the great
strife between the north and south /;
how members of the same church
were arrayed against each other.
Mr.. Bailey said that he knew
John Brown and was present at the
time Brown started his famous ex-
petition to the south. Brown was
accompanied by a, dozen followers

gave us study on the conditions oil
prayer. Is it any use to pray, or is
everything settled beforehand? God
has left some things unsettled. One
thing will happen if we pray, another
will happen if we don't pray. One
must have time and place for prayer,
and be alone with God with the
door shut. If two or more, who
know God, agree in desiring and
petition, God promises a response.
Prayer must be in the name of Chri
Prayer must have the boldness of
faith and confidence of love, and we
must be ready to be the messenger
in answering our own prayers.
At the evening session Rev. S. A.
Jamison of Duluth presided. DR..
Luccock read the scripture and DR..
Soltau offered prayer. The chorus
singing at the opening of the service
was magnificent and Prof. Martins
solo each evening adds a charm.
* Count Gelesnoff, the speaker of
the evening, gave one of the strong
est, clearest and most powerful
expositions ofthe "scriptural Lamb"
first introduced in Ex. IL, and car
ried on through scripture to the
close, that it has ever been our for
tune to hear.
The house was packed and for
forty minutes every mind was
riveted on the ringing message of
the speaker.
Tonight grand concert will be
given in the city hall under the
direction of Professor Martin of
Minneapolis. A big chorus, male
quartet, baritone solos, violin solos,
duets in voice will furnish a rare
treat to music lovers. The profits

The Rising Price Of Wheat.

Instead, after dropping II
cents from the highest point
reached on May wheat IN Chica.
go, rally has followed and May
wheat has travelled this week half
the way back to the top prices of
the corner. All wheat still re.
mains at an abnormaIly high
figure and was yesterday only
4 per cent. below the highest
point in the Patten corner. This
is true of cash wheat. that is,
wheat to be paid on delivery; of
MAY" wheat, which is wheat to
be delivered before May 81, and
OF deliveries for the months to
come. All are high.
The cause is clear. AS the
London "Statlst" points out, be.
fore July 81, western Europe
needs about 160,0OO,COO bushels.
No prospect now exists Of Europe
receiving from all quarters over
125, ,000,000 bushels. If wheat IN
this country remains as high as
it Is now, with the Patten corner
broken, little wheat can leave
American ports. This reduces
European supplies to 101, 100000
bushels, when 100000 bush
els are needed, as the "Statlst'
estimated our exports at "a O00,,
900 bushels.
Wheat is certain to be dear
above the average under these
conditions. Wheat is not coming
from the farmers as was predict
ed. The new crop is two months
off. The price level of wheat Is
due to day to a lack of wheat the
world over.
