WORK IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
What Has Been Accomplished BY the
American Union

The Sunday school work IS fast
coming into its own. There never was
a time when so many consecrated peo
Pile were thinking so seriously about
the training of the child. The need
was never greater. Among the great
agencies at work in this state none
have accomplished more for the sparse
~ settled sections than the American
Sunday School union, the oldest Home
Missionary society in American. Dur
ing 1908 there were fourteen men at
work and they accomplished the fol-
lowing: l3l schools were opened, hav.
ing $50 teachers, $500 scholars, en-
rolling a grand total of 4.l90 in these
schools They also visited and aided
1 one or more times, CAB schools where
23,775 persons were being instructed
in the Bible. Nearly 400 Bibles were
distributed in the schools and homes;
! .53l visits were made to families,
and literally tons of good reading
matter was distributed. Thirteen
ices for resident pastors, four churches
were oeanized as outgowths of the
Union schools. Where ! ,26G sermons
and addresses were delivered, 1876 per.
sons openly confessed Christ and took
Him as their personal friend and
Savior. The Importance of this work
may be better understood when it is
noted that for the most part these
persons would not have been reached
but for the interdenomnational meth
DDS of this society.
For the year 1909 there arc sixteen
men located in different parts of the
state who travel over from five to
seven counties looking up these isoat-
1, ed communities, and gathering the
children in to be taught the things
; OF God. The union missionary is
welcomed wherever he goes among the
people where no schools exist, and us
ually some persons are found in each
nei9hbornoOd who can be induced to
take up the work of experimenting
and teaching. The work being so truly
nterdenomnational: the missionary SO
unbiased as to the kind of school
opened, the work appeals to people of
AL faiths. Among the men who rep
resent the society in the state there
Iare eight denominations represented
Fifty per cent of the men are col.
rleee trained and several are regularly
ordained ministers.

BLAME THE DIRECTOIRE GOWN
For Present Epidemic and Influenza
in Vienna

Vienna, April 6.-The Directoire
dress is blamed for the present epidem.
ic of rheumatism and influenza among
society women in Vienna.
According to DIR. Bruel, well known
physician, fashionable women are risk.
ing their lives in wearing directoire
dresses during cold weather
He declares that owing to the i'm
possibility of wearing a sufficient guam
tity of warm Undertaking, which
would interfere with the aft" of the
drectoire dress, many women are in
danger of dying from pneumonia and
other chest complaints.
Influenza is epidemic in court cir
cles and it is believed to be largely
due to the popularity of the drectoiro
costume.

PETITION THE LEGISLATORS
University Graduates Want One Mill
Tax Levied for Institution.

To Hans Joreenson, Frank L. Kelly,
! and Charles F. Herzberg, representa-
tives of the eleventh legislative district
in the Legislature of the state of Min
nesOta.
Whereas. bill was introduced i'm
the house of representatives providing
for one half mill tax levy for the
general support of the University of
Minnesota, which bill was passed by
the House on Thursday last by vote
of 63 to 81 and sent to the senate,
but which was recalled by the house
bya vote of 50 to AZ before the senate
had time to act upon it,
And whereas. eve believe That the
passage of such bill would be con-
ducive to economy by enabling the
board of regents to adopt and follow
a more settled policy in the admins
tration of the affairs of the institu-
ton" and that such a law as pro.
vided for i'm the bill would promote
the welfare of the University and of
the State
And whereas, the said bill has been
recommended by the governor, the
board of regents and the alumni
throughout the state,
Therefore, we. the undersigned, al
nmni of the University of Minnesota
and residents of the city of Mankato,
do respectfully urge you TO use your
influence in securing the returning of
said bill to the senate and to do every
thing in your power to make such bill
law. Cassius Gates, Edward w. Ben

LIQUOR SELLING IN minnesota NOW
REPORTED ILLEGAL

greater part of Minnesota" said Mr..
Engle.
Mr. Zollman is absent from here, but
it was said last night that he had re-
Gently been in conference with Indian
department officials.
District Attorney c. c. Houpt does
not think Minneapolis in much danger
|of going "dry" by federal regulation.
He confirms the statement as to the
treaty provisions, however. He said
last night:
"The three treaties under which most
of Minnesota was acquired from the
Indians contained similar provisions as
to the sale of liquor. They provided
that the existing laws or laws here
after to be made excluding the sale of
liquor to Indians should be applied to
the coded territory. The Traverse des
Sioux treaty of 1851, under which
Minneapolis and most of southern Min
nesota We're acquired, had this proyis-
ion, also the Chippewa treaties of
1855 and 1868.
"The point was tested i'm the '7Os
in the famous Forty seven Gallons of
Whisky case at CrOokston A federal
official made a seizure of whisky in
CroOkston on the ground that it was
Indian country under the Chippewa
treaty, and the matter was fought out
in court, which sustained the forfeiture.
Nothing further was done by tia de-
partment.
In the Dick Case
1T came mp two years ago in what
is known as the Dick case, arising
from the Colville reservation i'm Idaho.
In this the court decided that while the
liquor was sold outside the actual res
ervation, it was within the limits ced-
ed by the Nez Perces i'm similar
treaty, and therefore liquor selling was
illegal.
"Of course the intent of these
treaty provisions was TO prevent the
sale of liquor in Indian country. | do
not understand that the department
intends to go any farther than to
stop the sale on reservations. Mime.
apolis is not Indian country any more
II it should be deemed necessary to
enforce the old treaties to the letter
congress could very quickly change
them.
There is no doubt about the techni
cal point. 1t is largely a question of
policy with the department. 1t has
been taken up here, and an agent of
the department was in st. Paul some
time ago on that matter. but I have
not seen one recently. | understand
The licensed sale of liquor will be aban-
doned in the limits of the present
w hite Earth reservation"
air. Houpt says that the three Min
nesota treaties differ somewhat. In on,
OF the Chippewa treaties only swine
and spirits" are forbidden. The other
extends the prohibition to fermented
liquors.

This is the amount that the city has
lost within that time instead of as
he says about 100000.
Had this man known about abate-
ments, refundings, loss of personal
property taxes because of non pay
ments and rate sheets, he could have
seen where this 100000 or there
abonts had gone, but as he submitted
his report with a guess of $2,0O0.0O
