ST. ELlzARETH's PARISH.
Successful Sale and Entertainment by
the Womcr's Society.

Social life within the ranks of the
parishioners of st. EIizabeth's Roman
Catholic church, recently opened for
public worship. was inaugurated a
day or two ago by the Ladies' Aid
society in the form OF sale of work
and an entertainment in the evening
The enterprise was conspicuously
successful along all lines and 1T
brought to the fore latent talent
which was not known to exist. The
sale of work was largely attended and
crowds of buyers surrounded the
booths, which were so ably presided
over by Mrs. Jennings and Mrs. Mock
and all of the ladies interested highly
appreciate the encouragement and
patronage of their many friends.
People turned out in goodly num-
bers to the entertainment in the
evening, the feature Of which was
one-act playlet, A Lesson In Elegance.
The characters were ably portrayed
by the Misses Alice Fitzgerald, Cen
eva Robideau, Esther McGinnis and
Mrs p. III. Finnegan. Preceding the
play there was a programme of vocal
and instrumental music--the Old
Black Joe song by the Bay brothers
was excellent and their services are

FROM VINToN, IA, STILL HANG.
&c FIRE IN DISTRICT COURT
MAY LAST ALL DAY.

The fight between the minister and
the banker, both of vinton, Ia, lis still
pending in the district court. From
the details Of the examination, it in
believed the case may probably not

Both men are convinced they are right
Iully entitled to the commission OF
$3.50 offered by the Ransom County
immigration association, and were the
first to induce Albert Brown to make
the purchase of the Fargo corporation.
The examination of the attorneys
for both sides this morning led into
the minutia of the case. The pur-
chaser, Albert Brown, was put on the
stand and testified that while he had
signed statement acknowledging that
the defendant Allen was the agen,
through whom the transaction with
the immigration association was made.
he supplemented the testimony with
the statement ha he was not fully cog

men he was asked to sign Further
confusion was added when the witness
Brown stated on the stand that he
signed the paper at the residence of
the defendant Allen in vinton. when
Mr.. kirkland. the Iowa attorney rep
resenting Allen stated that the instru-
ment was signed in his presence at
his office.
Mr.. kirkland was sworn and went
on the stand this morning to offer re-
futing testimony to the Brown state
ments in regard to the signing of the
paper acknowledging Allen as the man
rightfully entitled to the commission.
The case may probably go to the
jury late this afternoon All the Jurors
We're dismissed shortly before the noon
recess today and the attorneys en-
tered number of exceptions to the
court. Most of the examination TODAY
was conducted by Seth Richardson Cor

DAHL GETS THREE
YEARS, SIX MONTHS
JUDGE TAYLOR ORDERS AssAlL-
ANT OF FossUM TO BE CON-
FINED IN THE PENlTENTIARY
FOR THREE YEARS AND SIX
MONTHS.

For causing the death OF Trygvig
Fossum, Louis Dahl was ordered to be
confined in the state penitentiary at
saltwater for the term of three years
and six months, by Judge Taylor at
night session of the district court,
yesterday. With good time Dahl will
leave his prison home in time to re-
turn to his family for Christmas of
10 ;.
The sheriff and police authorities
have expressed the hope that the con-
viction, in this case, will act as de-
terrent to a certain class of saloon
help who are addicted to the illuse of
men who have been made incapable
and quarreIsome by drinking too
much.
An experienced Moorhead officer re-
marked, last night, 81 know of many
instances where drunken men, abso-
lutely helpless, have been terribly
abused and beaten after they have
spent all their money in the place, and
their only fault was being too talka-
tive and argumentative to suit some
nasty tempered saloon porter or wait
err" 1
1t is generally conceded that Dahl
never intended to inflict injuries so
serious as to cause death. The theory
of the authorities is that if Fossum
was caught committing crime he
should have been held for the arrival
of a proper officer of the peace. He
was a small man and no necessity
existed for rough usage.

Grain Latter.

Chicago, Dec 2.---The wheat market
opened steady to shade easier and
did not show the strength generally
looked for. There was some profit
taking by local professionals who were
the buyers yesterday. Reports OF
cloudy, threatening weather with
higher temperatures in the southwest
had weakening effect. The market
continues Of professional character
with short sellers in the great minority
and very tilnid owing to lack Of selling
pressure. Broomhall now thinks that
the Argentine will have 112,000,000
bushels exportable surplus, SO that
with that country and Russia to help
feed Europe it is quite possible that
we may be able to keep all our sur
plus at home.

TALK ON SCIENCE
and The BIBLE
Or. ADAMS GAVE ANOTHER Ex-
cELLENT LECTURE AT FARGO
COLLEGE THIS MoRNlNc-As.
sERTs THAT THERE is NO
CONFLICT.

Rev. Chas. r. Adams OF the First
Presbyterian church continued his lee
ture this morning at Fargo College on
the subject, Christianity In Account
With Science. In his talk this morn
ing, Or. Adams upheld the side of the
church in the conflict between church
and science.
DR.. Adams maintained that there
can be no conflict, because religion
and science are essentially different
and stand for altogether distinct and
separate phases of life. II believe
said Rev. Adams, that a man who
cannot accept the Bible as the true
revelation of divine power and at the
same time accept the recent findings
OF scientists, is behind the times"
The question of the creation and
evolution of the world was next dis
cussed. DIR. Adams asserted that the
Bible cannot be made a text book of
science.
Most any scientists" said DR..
Adams, will grant the existence of a
divine power They then must ac-
tcept the first verse of Genesis
He then showed that the word Great
ed Is used only three times In, the
hrst chapter in connection with mat
ter. light, and man. All other times
the words are God made. 1T is lust
as scientific to concede that God
created matter as to say it existed
from all time" said DR.. Adams. He
then made it clear that the word
created was used only where there is
no certainty, where there is a missing
link. mo man" he went on to say,
has found the source of light or mat
ter, and the origin of man is very
doubtful to the scientists"
The remainder of the address was
given to prove that there never was
definite conflict between the church,
on one side, and science, on the other.
THE progress of scientific truth"
asserted DR.. Adams, ''has come down
through the ages by men who were
connected with the church,"
This was his strong argument, that
1t was a conflict within the church it
self and not outside, and that Ii also
was quarrel between scientists
themselves, This. he proved in con-
clusion, by several concrete examples.
The next lecture on this subject will
be given next Wednesday morning.

Wheat: The whole market opened
firm In sympathy with the strength in
American cables yesterday, and values
were u to H higher. Following the
opening there was further covering
by shorts, and the market gained
strength with a further advance Of
II to q. This support was due to
predictions of small Russian ship
ments this week, firmness Of plate Of
ferings and predictions of lighter
worlds shipments other than Ameri-
can. Toward midday there was some
selling by large houses here on the
improved outlook in Argentine and
continued favorable weather At this
time the undertone was still firm and
Il off from the top half to y higher
than yesterday.
The corn market opened u higher
and further gained X to "A during
the morning. Support was due to the
firmness in America, light Argentine
shipments, firmer plate offerings and
the firmness in plate shipment.

This statement was made to The
Forum this morning, by Ralph Peder-
son, the president of the Peterson
Mercantile Co, and assented to by
his brother, P. H. Peterson, the sec
rotary.
The statement was made in re-
Spouse to question asking the rea-
son for closing the public .salesroom
of the establishment. Ralph Peterson
added that the act of the company
was purely a voluntary one. The
company saw no other way to remove
all possibility of embarrassment to
the firm through the actions of others
than by doing just what they have
done
Watever business is tranacted is

done through the Office and in that
way there can be no indiscriminate
filling of general cash and other sales
over the counter-members of the firm
personally have absolute control over
all the business done.
BY the action of the railroads and
the express companies there can be no
shipments of liquor to points east,
but the possibility of trouble was
through the general purchases made
by individuals beyond the control of
the seller after they were made and
the goods out OF the house. For that
reason the Peterson people decided
that their only resource was to pursue
the policy they have adopted for the
present at least and cooperate with
the government to that extent.
