a. T. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 23.-In
keeping with the dignity Of the
W. office he filled as governor Of
Minnesota and to the accompaniment
of tolling bells, the body Of John A.
Johnson was escorted from the rotun-
da of the state capitol today with
military pomp to the train which was
to carry it to st. Peter, MINI. It's last
resting place.
Promptly at 9:15 o'clock the pail
bearers carried the casket to the
hearse, through a double line of hon
orary pallbearers, among whom were
some of the most prominent men in
the state.
A volunteer band of 100 pieces
sounded the funeral march, to the SOL
emn time of which 10 companies of
state militia and three batteries of ar
tillery swung slowly into line ahead of
the hearse. Then came the pallbearers,
the members of the dead governors
staff, regents in carriages, state Of
ficers and former members of the
state legislature, state employees, dele
cations from other Minnesota cities,
representative bodies of the Masons,
the Elks, the Pythians and other civic
organizations, and lastly large fol-
lowing of citizens.
The procession proceeded through
the heart of the retail district to the
Union station, where special train
was standing.
The casket was placed in the bag
gage car.
The private car of J. T. Clark was
reserved for Mrs. Johnson, Fred w.
Johnson, brother, and several 1nt1-
mate friends.
A car was reserved for the pail
bearers, the governors staff and those
known as the official family.
The rest of the train was thrown
open for the accommodation of the
public and large number went along
to st. Peter.
While the procession was passing
through the streets business was
practically suspended. The sidewalks
were iammed with silent throng.
The funeral train was due to arrive
at 12:45 o'clock in st. Peter. Services
we're to be held at the Presbyterian
church, where the deceased once was
a member of the choir. The interment
will be in Greenhill cemetery, beside
the bodies of Governor Johnson's
father and mother.
ST. PETER, Mimi, Sept. 23.-The
crowd that gathered at the church for
Governor Johnson's funeral today
could not be accommodated, although
the people passed through the church
continually from the time of the ar
rival of the body until the services
began. The school children passed
through first, then the students OF
Gustavus Adolphus college and then
the general public.

GENERAL BOOTH
IS 90 YEARS OLD
SALVATION ARMY CELEBRATES
THE ANNIVERSARY.
ALL LANDS DO HIM HONOR
Pay Is Marked in America by Launch
II ing of His Plan for University
w of Humanity.

\ New York.-With great mass meet
hgs In every city and rejoicing wher-
ever its soldiers are found, the Saliva
ton Army on Saturday celebrated the
eightieth birthday of it's founder and
commander-in-chief, Gen. William
! Booth. All the Christian world par
,ticipated in the occasion, for every
Vwhere the venerable philanthropist is
honored for his deeds for unfortunate
humanity.
Gen. Booth himself presided over
several monster mass meetings in
London. His advanced age and the
fact that he was operated on recently
for cataract did not deter him from
taking part in the celebrations held by
his devoted soldiers.
University of Humanity Launched.
In America the day was marked
especially by the launching of another
of Gen. Booths original schemes for
social reform in the United States.
At every post Of the army was an
nounced the beginning of work to
found a University of Humanity, a
great institute for the training of
workers in social service. The uni
versity will be divided between New
York and Chicago and it is expected
to begin with fund of 81 100000. The
gathering of this fund is the work
that the army now enters upon in COM
memoration of it's famous leaders

As a much-needed stone in the great
organizational structure that William
Booth has been building during the
past At years, this idea of school

Her Answer.

An Atchison girl had a proposal Of
marriage Sunday night and asked a
week to think it over. She went to all
of her married sisters. One, who used
to be belle, had three children, did all
her own work and hadn't been to the
theater or out riding since she was
married Another, whose husband was
promising young man at the time
she was married. was supporting
him. A third didn't dare say
her life was her own when her hus-
band was around, and fourth was d.
vorced. After visiting them and hear
ing their woes, the heroine of this lit
tie tale went home, got pen, ink and
paper and wrote an answer to the
young man. You may think it was re-
fusing him, but it wasn't. She said
she could be ready in month.-Atch-
ison Globe.

Cleanliness.

This church, like many another one,
had had trouble about pumping the or
gan. and the plan of using water
power was gladly adopted. Connec-
ton was made with the pipes of the
rectory, which stood on the adjoining
lot. All the preliminary tests were
satisfactory. On the Sunday morn.
ing when the apparatus was to be
used for the first time at regular
service the organist arrived early for
final trial. There was not hitch.
The congregation generally knew Of
the innovation, and awaited the open.
ing strains of the professional with
uncommon interest. Not sound came
from the organ, however. and the
choir had to march in singing the
hymn as best 1t could, unaccompanied.
OF course the disappointment was
keen.

hospital and benevolent visitation, po-
lice court work and Indian school
training.
No other religious organization in
the worlds history has branched out
into so many departments of philan-
thropic effort and absorbed them as
part of its religious duties.
Need of Trained Workers.
The scheme for a University of HUI
mainly grew naturally out of the de-
velopment of the 20 other depart
ments. With field as wide as the
world itself the work of the Salvation
Army is only limited by the number
of workers that can be secured and
its effectiveness by the understanding
and earnestness Of these workers. AS
uplift work has grown from local eff
forts to help a few into a great in
elusive movement which must miss
none, the problems of organization
have grown greater. Charity has be-
come a science and its application an
art requiring the highest development
altruism. There is thus pressing need
for workers Of quite exceptional quail
ification. These qualifications must
first of all be inherent and must then
be developed by experience and spe-
cial training.
This is the new work planned by
Gen. Booth. Those women, for in
stance, who are to go among the
slums of the big cities must not only
have the desire to help but must know
how real helpfulness can best be se-
cured. They must understand by a
study of practical sociology some
thing of the social forces that create
this poverty and crime and wretched-
ness. They must understand the dan
ger of the unwise charity that merely
increases dependence and understand
the value Of better living conditions
in raising the moral courage Of those
to whom fate has been unkind. They
must be able not only to correct home
conditions themselves but to impart
their knowledge and to inspire with
a desire for betterment.
Value Of the Organization.
This will be but small part Of the
universitys training in social service
as planned by the patriarchal evangel-
list, but it serves to show of what value
such an organization will be.
OF the generals plan for the uni
versity he himself said recently: u
The Iuka vidette. (Iuka, Miss.) 1894-1912, 1909-04-15

for the systematic training of his
workers has been In his mind for sew
eral years. On his last visit to the
United States the general made his
first tentative announcement of the
plan. Since then he has worked out
many of the details and he has just
consented to the beginning of pre-
liminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great.
Growth Of Great System.
1t is perhaps not generally realized
that the whole intricate modern ma
chinery of civilization for the uplift-
ing of the submerged tenth, the vast
system of charities now SO essential
a part of modern life, is to a very
large extent an outgrowth Of the
Booth idea. He was the first to see
that the unfortunate could be be
reached by those who had suffered as
they had, and that they must be
reached by practical worldly help be-
fore they could be prepared to begin
the cleaner lie. 1t was the Salvation
Army which first made a practical
working success of this now familiar
principle of so-called missionary work.
This whole plan of campaign for
raising the fallen began on very
simple scale in the poverty-stricken
and crime-infested East end OF Lon
don and under the impetus of William
Booths singular force OF mind and
personality and the momentum that it
has gathered with almost miraculous
rapidity 1t has developed into truly
astonishing organization.
Some Of the departments of its
work are: Prison-gate and Rescue,
rnebriates homes, Boys and Girls
homes. Farm colonies, Emigration,
Naval and Military homes, Maternity

Good Old Molly.

State Senator S. Joe Owen of inion
county not long since published in his
excellent paper, The Gazette, notice of
a mare owned in that county that had
produced for the owner colts that had
brought more than $4,000 in cash and
three were still ON hand unsold. Pity
It's that there are not more of these 'Old
Mollies" in Mississippi. Only seven coun-
ties in the State are credited with rails
ing more work stock than is used But
this condition of affairs is changing and
speed the day when every county will at
least raise enough mules to work the
crops made. Here is the article:
Through our friend, w. r. Wilson, we
learn that A. J. Williams of near Eta,
this county, has mare that he got in
trade from j. 4. Wibanks of this city,
twenty-three years ago-she was then a
colt-and has raised twenty-one colts,
nine of which were stations. Mr.. Will
liams has sold eighteen of these horses
for the handsome sum of $4,000 cash,
and the three remaining, the youngest
one of which is one year old, are fine and
very valuable. The mare, deep bay
and of average size--she will weigh
about 1000 pounds-is yet in good con-
dition and is loved and cared for almost
as one of the family. 1t is safe to say
that Mr.. Williams owes no man any
thing, and that he enjoys the respect
and confidence of his fellow men. This
is great country for stock raising, and
the pity of it is, that so few of our peo-
pie are engaged in it extensively. Mis-
sissippi should raise her own mules,
horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, corn,
hay, molasses, potatoes, onions and cab
bage. and then a little cotton to help
pay for some few things she can't raise.
Our hat is off to good old Molly and
her owner Mr.. Williams"
You are helping to bring about that
condition, senator, when you publish to
the people of your section the expert
ments of Mr.. Williams. That expert
ence is now being given to the twelve
thousand readers of The Bulletin and the
hundreds of thousands who read the
Greater Mississippi department in the
county papers. Keep your eyes open for
other experiences of similar nature and
let's have them from time to time.
