Baptist Church Notes

A string quartette at the Baptist
church next Sunday morning at the
Easter services. Mrs. DR.. Wether-
ell will sing. The service will be of
unusual interest.
The Baptist Young People met at
the home of Deacon Potter last Mon
day night. A large attendance and
a profitable meeting. The new
constitution was adopted and the
Union put in a still better condition.
Fifty dollars was voted and paid out
of the treasury of the Union on the
building fund as second payment on
pledge. The Union was never in SO
healthy condition as now.
The Ladies hold their Easter sale
Friday afternoon and it is hoped the
building fund will be considerably
increased.

distant to the home signal, where
they stopped, sent fllagman ahead
then followed him slowly. The
attention of Engineer Ward of No.
6 was attracted to the flsgman and
to the main track ahead. He
suddenly observed, however, that
Extra 1912 East was backing down
toward the west switch ovd which
his train was moving and ob ccount
of having ten cars in the N<ln, he
realized that it was impossible for
him to stop and back up clear Of the
switch or to pull his train over the
switch in time to avoid accident.
He decided that by stopping 1.-THE
baggage cars of No. 6 on the frog
he would thus avoid all possibility
of injury to his passengers. This
he did.
After listening to the testimony
given by the above mentioned en-
ployes, it is the unanimous decision
of the Board that the only ones re-
sponsible for this accident were Con-
ductor f. A. Mcneil and his two
brakemen, Waddell and Wilson,
the conductor for not being in posi-
tion where he could have easily
stopped his train. Head Brakeman
Wilson for mistaking a ''Stop' foi

lowan Strongly Opposes Aid
rich Bill in Senate
The MEASURE BUT A FARCE
PRESENT BILL is NEITHER Full
FILLMENT OF PARTY PLEDGE
OR REDUCTION OF DUTIES, SAYS
cuMMINs. AND WILL NOT BE
ACCEPTED.

Washington, May 6.-Predicting that
the failure to pass a tariff bill provid-
ing lower duties on imports would
provoke a political contest for another
revision of the tariff, Senator Cum
Minis of Iowa delivered a notable
speech in the senate today.
"The bill now before us which it
may be assumed, represents the views
of the finance committee respecting a
revision of the tariff" said Cummins,
''will not be accepted by those who
have favored a revision Of the tariff
as either a fulfillment of a party
pledge or as a settlement of the con-
troversy. If this BILL or anything sub
stantially like it, becomes. law, l
predict that a campaign for lower
duties will begin the moment the ex-
traordinary session of the congress
adjourns and will continue with in
creasing zeal until the judgment is
entered in the court of public con-
science and is also entered in the
journals of congress-"
Lower Duties Promised.
There was no question, he said. that
the republican party had promised a
revision under the demand for lower
duties. The people, he said. have seen
forces of competition gradually weak
ened in the larger fields of industry
through the concentration of combina-
tions. agreements and "alls other mod.
ern mechanism which an ingenious age
has discovered"

Fish. in company with Frank Kibert,
surveyor OF oliver county have sur
veyed the site of an Indian village,
about twelve miles south of Mandan
and between there and Riverside
ranch. The work was done to secure
statistics for tbe state historical SO
ciety and was done at this time as the
new line OF the Northern Pacific is to
run through the site and would de-
stroy all chances Of securing data at
later date. The village proved to
have been one Of about seventy houses
and this would Indicate population
Of about 700 or 1000 Indians. The
signs go to show that the population
was a mixed one consisting of Man-
dams and some other eribes. The VIII
lage was evidently very old one, but
