HAWTHORNE CLUB MEMBERS
SHOW TRUE CHRISTIAN SPIRIT
IN WoMAN'S CASE.
PROVIDE SURGERY AND
HOSPITAL TO SAVE LIFE
Mrs. j. S. Rridseman, 600 Bromley
Street, is Cared For BY Club Women
Operation is Successful, and Pa
tient Will Recover-cIub Pays All
Expenses.

The members of the Hawthorne Club
are demonstrating charity that is real
charity. The club women learned of a
worthy case, whereby womans life
might be saved thru surgery. The pa
tient passed thru the operation Friday
and will doubtless make a complete re-
covery.
Mrs. ]. S. Bridgeman. wife of la
borer living at SOC Bromley street, was
the patient. The attention of the club
was called TO the case by Mrs. F. Z.
Meeker. for whom Mrs. Bridgeman had
worked at different times.
When Mrs Bridgeman was unable 20
longer do the housework she had been
doing in Mrs. Meeker's employ, Mrs
Meeker began to inquire into her case
and sent her to a surgeon for an eX-
animation. 1t was found that the WON
an was suffering from a large tumor
and that unless the growth We're re-
moved, there was nothing in store or
the unfortunate woman but few
years Of invalidisn. and death. Mrs
Bridgeman realized her condition rs
well as the surgeon, but surgery was
out of the question With her, for she
had no funds. The club women tool
an interest in the case and decided tc
act. The operation Friday was the re-
suit Mrs. Meeker. as an individual
defrays all of the operating expenses
and the cost of some wearing apparel
for the patient, and the club pays all
the other expense, including nice
room at the hospital. special nurse
and the surgeons fees.
Mrs. Bridgeman is a woman of 90
and has six children, the youngest o
which is a babe of >.

Railroad men in offices about town
are not satisfied as to the significance
of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
changes. Mr.. Noonan, the retiring SUI
perintendent, is a young railroad man
of more than local reputation, who was
confidential secretary to L. f. Day be-
fore his promotion to general superin-

account for his retirement, or for that
OF at least one of the Others
The Inference that Mr.. Cutter was
sent here TO revolutionize operating
methods and eventually to supplant
Mr.. Day, does not appear correct, from
the fact that it was Mr. Day who made
the appointment of Mr.. Cutter. 1t is

create another great trunk line system

double significance in view of the ag-

DRAKE GLEE CLUB CONCERT.
Varied Program Pieases Appreciative
Audience ar Methodist Church.

Audience at Methodist Church.
A Very pleasing concert, under the
auspices of the local Drake Club, and
more for the purpose of Introducing
the glee club to Marshalltown people
than for the financial gain, was given
Friday evening before a good sized
audience at the Methodist church by
the Drake University Glee Club. The
audience proved Very appreciative, and
many encores were responded to. The
glee club was accompanied by Miss
Rose Reichard, head of the violin de-
partment in the Drake conservatory of
music. and an accomplished violinist.
The program, while containing a few
classical numbers, was composed
mainly of college songs. and the group
of familiar ballads in which the sing
ers appeared in typical college cos
tune and attitude, evoked especially
hearty applause. The club is directed
by MIR. Tolbert MacRae, teacher of
piano, who gave two readings. Mr..
MacRae is a brother of Mrs. MacRae-
Hesse, who led the singing in evangel-
stic meetings here last winter, and
friends of the latter sent request for
a solo from Mr.. MacRae, tho he was
not on the program. He responded, and
also gave an encore.
Aside from the violin pleasing num-
hers We're given by the solists, Mr.
Clifton Belding, bass: Mr.. Harry
Bauscher tenor; and Mr.. Ray Golden,
pianist. Others took solo paNs in sew

tune part of "Cy," in the song

Following the program a reception
was given the glee club in, the parlors

lunch was served, college songs were
sung, and an informal, good time en-
joyed. The members of the Christian
Endeavor Society of the church as
sisted in working for the concert, and
shared in the proceeds.

ha1ser's Wireless Caused Trouble.
All news from the court party at
Peterhof now points to the car at
tempting to adopt the active role of a
patriot and peacemaker, in which he
will make his grandiose debut at the
Poltava celebration two weeks hence.
The only visible result thus fare of
the meeting between the czar and the
kaiser is an angry quarrel between
the Russian naval department and the
Russian ministry Of the court The
latter apparently allowed tho kaiser's
yacht to attune its wireless apparatus
to all the surrounding stations for his
sole use. One result was that after
firing on the British steamer Wood
burn two Russian torpedo boats were
in collision. They called for assist
ance by wireless but the service was
nullified by the kaiser's monopoly.
During two hours talk with Pre-
mier Stolypin the kaiser delivered a
lengthy monologue on the science of
government in such great empires as
have to preserve unity among nation
allties that have different traditions,
He cited instances from the Hohen-
zollern histories. NJ. Stolypin, who is
rather a silent practitioner of govern
ment. thanked the kaiser for his in
teresting discourse.
Rome, June 30.-At q morning Sit
ting of the chamber of deputies last
Wednesday, the socialist vice presi-
dent, Costa, presiding, Deputy Morgan
said the socialists were determined
to oppose the cars visit, even if the
opposition damaged Italy, as the
cars hands were "soiled with the
blood of his own parents and chill
dren." and the socialists could not
welcome an assassin. Morgan was
interrupted by protests from the ma
Jority, but the chairman did not call
him to order. He said that every dep
uty was free to express his own
opinion in parliament.
Foreign Minister Tittoni protested
against Morgan's outrageous express
sions. He declared that the visit
would take place. The socialists
then then shouted that they intended
to hoot and hiss the car, if he came.
Signor Tfttoni replied that the gov
ernment was not afraid of threats and
was determined to repress energetic
ally all hostile demonstrations. The
incident is thought likely to delay the
cars visit, and prehaps prevent it,
as was the case in 1903, when his
visit was abandoned owing to the hos
tility of the socialists.

Several Hours Had Elapsed.

Towner, N. D., June 3O.-The post
Office In this city was burglarized last
night, the work Of the yeggmen be-
ing discovered this morning upon the
opening of the Office for the days bus

cured about 500 in cash and about
$40 worth of stamps. There is NO
clue as to their identity.
The work of the safeblowers was
done without arousing enybody in the
city. 1t is supposed that the men did
the job at about 1870 o'clock this
morning, leaving on the eastbound
Great Northern train No. 4 at 2:1O
o'clock, that train being late.
Entrance to the postoffice building
was secured through the front door
which had been forced. The inside
door to the postoffice was also batter

yeggmen was easy. The charge of
nitro-glycerine rent the safe into
pieces and gave the men access to the
cash and stamps, which they done
away with.
Efforts are being made to locate the
men who did the job. The police
along the Great Northern are being
notified to look out for the men, but
as the robbers had a start of several
hours, it will be no easy task to land
them.

TRIAL MAY SHOW
WHITE SLAvERS
Remarkable History of Ella
Gingles Will Be Told in ;,
Court z.lias u. !.

Chicago, June 30.-When Ella
Gingles is placed on trial here late
today it is promised by her attorney,
H. O'Donnell, that the sensational
mystery following the finding of his
client bound, gagged and unconscious
in the public bath room of the Well
lington hotel last winter will .be clear
ed UP.
Ella Gingles, an Irish girl who
came from Canada, first came in to
public notice year ago, when she
was charged by Miss Agnes Barrett,
her employer, of purloining certain
articles from the complainant's lace
shop to the value of $50.
Much sympathy for the girl was
aroused. Irish societies and several
society women took an interest in her
case and secured an attorney to de-
fend her. Many believed her story
that she was victim of conspira-
cy. A few months later the Yelling
ton hotel incident occurred. Miss
Gingles told remarkable story of
having been kidnapped by a man and
woman in cab and dragged to the
bath room where she was found
bound to the tub. Details of her mar
rative failed of confirmation, at least
at that time. She is to be tried now
on the theft charge. Attorney
O'Donnell stated today that not only
would this episode be cleared up but
that light would be shed on the sud-
den death few days ago of Mrs.
Cecilia Kenyon, a close friend Of Miss
Barrett and the states principal wit
ness in the trial scheduled for today.
Mrs. Kenyon died suddenly at a road
house on the southern outskirts of the
city. The man who accompanied her
was allowed to escape, it is said,
without testifying at the coroner's in
quest which, in alleged perfunctory
fashion, brought in verdict of death
from heart disease. O'Donnell also
promised that he would show that all
of his clients troubles had been due
to an attempt to force her into life
at which her womanhood revolted.

PIONEERS MAKE
MERRY At 10LNA
Big Celebration Held There
Proves an Immense Success
In Every Way

Tolna, N. D., June 3O.-Pioneers
day here Monday was great success
in every way. Over a 1000 people
from the neighboring country and the
nearby towns gathered here to OBJ
serve the day, the first of its kind
ever held in Nelson county, and to
enjoy the various forms of amuse-
ment provided for the visitors. All
those who came were highly pleased
with what they saw and heard and all
expressed a desire to come again
next year.
A ball game In the forenoon be-
tween Illinois and Dissmore resulted
in a victory for the former by a score
of 12 to 10. In the evening another
ball game between Dissmore and
Hamar went eleven innings and was
won by the former wit ha score of S
sports were also enjoyed by the peo-
pie. The Tolna band was very much
in evidence all day and was compli-
mented by all upon its splendid play
ing.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
people gathered in the large show
tent of the Uncle Toms Cabin COM
pany to hear the speeches given by
Attorney John j. Samson of Lakota
and Hon. Silver Serumgard of Devils
Lake. Mr.. Samson spoke in the Eng
lish language and in an eloquent and
forceful speech paid splendid
tribute to the pioneers. Mr.. Serum
gard spoke in the Norwegian Ian
guage and told a great many
anecdotes of pioneer times. In the
evening Burke's Uncle Toms Cabin
show and big dance provided
amusement for those who still re-
mained to be entertained. Altogether
1t was Tolna's big day and the COM
mittee on arrangements is entitled to
every credit for the way in which
the celebration went off.

Plus HOPELESS WISH
Would Like to Visit United States, but
He Never Can.

Rome, June 30.-The Abate Loren
20 Perosi, the famous church music
composer and personal friend of Pope
Plus x, has definitely decided to give
a series of concerts in America next
autumn in ten most important cities.
Perosi was director of the choir at
the church Of st. Mark, in Venice,
when the present pontiff was pa
triarch there. On being elected pope
he called Perosi to Rome and put him
at the head of the ancient Sistine
choir. Perosi is on the friendliest
terms with the pontiff, being often his
guest at his table, as Plus x has re-
fused to conform to the etiquette Of
the vatican. that the head Of the
church shall not eat at the same table
with other people. Leo XIII adhered
to this strictly. He never had even
his brother, who was cardinal, sit
with him at table, and, when occa-
sionally he invited some royalty to
