CAPT. JOHNNY M'GovERN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 30
Imagine a fellow five feet four
inches in height leading a giant
foot ball eleven. That's the sit
uation at Minnesota university.
Capt. Johnny McGovern isn't
much bigger than pint measure,
but he is the huskiest little bale
of foot ball material in the land,
for his inches.
McGovern plays quarter, and
bids fair to be the best in the
west this year. He is a wonder
at picking weak points in the OPP
POSITIONS defense, and Is a re-
liable ground gamer.
McGovern is putting himself
through the university. He works
in the county auditors office days
and takes night law in the uni
versity. During the foot ball
and base ball season he escapes
from the office at o'clock in
the afternoon and hikes to the
field for practice.
After a rundown and supper,
the little fellow spends a couple
of hours grinding away at Black
stone. Although he weighs but
$50, McGovern is one of the hard
est men in the business to stop.

1t is acceded to by all that no such
revival has ever swept over the dis
trict of Cripple Creek. Every meet
ing was well attended and the inter-
est grew daily. Rev. Brown is de-
serving much praise for his influence
to be able to secure the service of
such an able man as Rev. Howard.
Every night in the week Rev. Howard
preached and sang until the church
was lifted high in the spiritual realm.
Sunday was indeed the day that will
be long remembered by all who
chance to be present. Rev. Howard
preached three soul-stirring seImvns
during the day. There was four con-
versions and eleven additions to the
church were also baptized, with a
financial wave. In this Rev Brown
was up to the last notch. There were
several handsome presents made to
Rev. Howard by the pastor and men,
bers. The pastor, a broad, liberal
hearted man, lost no time in seeing
that Rev. ]. P. Howard was made
thoroughly acquainted with the people
of both races. for they were pretty
well mixed in time of the meetings.
Rev. Howard left on Monday with full
intention Of returning to us again
somc time during this year. He
leaves an echo in this city that says
he spoke not as a natural man, for
his words both in song and in sermon
was laden with power that can only
be felt.
