New York City, June 13.-Has Es-
Their Mearson, the 16-year-old girl who
strangely disappeared Monday morn
ing while in search Of employment as
a stenographer, met the fate of poor
Ruth Wheeler? The New York police
fearing the worst, are working night
and day on the case in the hope that
they can unearth some clue which will
lead to the answer to this question.
Esther is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs, Joseph Mearson of 107 East One
Hundred and Twenty third street.
The case resembles in many of its
features that of poor little Ruth
Wheeler, who also sought employment
as stenographer and went to the
rooms of Albert Wolter In East Seven
ty-first street, where she was murdered
and her body burned and put In a sack
In fact the parents Of Esther Near
son had in mind the sad case of Ruth
when their own daughter went In
search Of employment, cautioned hei
against going to private residences fol
work, or answering postcard requests
for help as did Ruth Wheeler. Esther
an unusually attractive girl, well pro-
portioned and large for her age, was
also warned to be careful Of her con
duct while in the presence of strange
men.
| 1t was Lyon Mearson, brother Of tht
missing girl, who first notified the 20.
lice OF her disappearance. Lyon. q

is employed in the Office of large law
firm. Joseph Mearson, the girls father
is retired jewelry and dry goods
salesman There are seven children in
the family.
Esther left school two years ago and
became pupil in the Hebrew Tech
nical institute, where she took specr
ial course. Upon leaving the institute
she took up the study of stenography
at her home and before long became
proficient in it. While it was not nee
essary for her to seek employment,
the girl did not wish to be idle.
Mrs. Mearson was the only member
of the family to talk with Esther Mon
day morning when the girl was pre-
pairing to continue her quest of a po-
sition. The girl was more confident
than ever she would find place where
there would be chance for advance
ment. She told her mother that was
the kind of position she was trying
for

parent goodbye. Il will be SO glad If

1t was not until late Monday evening
that the Mearson family felt alarm
over the absence of the girl.
Efforts to learn where Esther had
been during the day were futile. The
aid OF friends was enlisted in the hunt

Heaven on Earth IS
the All important Thing
President eegan Delivers Mastery and Eloquent Address to
His Graduates in Annual Baccalauteate Sermon
This Is Fargo College Week

Look for the best in life, the best
in those with whom we come in
contact, the best thoughts of the best
men found on the printed page. Keep
in the sunshine, the speaker, in the
material sunshine for it's effects on
the material body, but above all let
sunshine enter the spirit and bring
harmony into the life.
In closing the speaker urged the
graduates in connection with the
charge to ever remain students, to
place themselves under the care of
Thine great Teacher, for the develop
ment Of the body and the intellect
can only be made effective in the
highest sense when united with that
Of the soul. The church was hand
somely decorated for the occasion, the
class colors predominating. The music
Of the service was in the hands Of
Prof w. w. George, of the Fargo col
lege conservatory Of Music and 1t

most. There was special music pre-
pared for the evening and it was we'll
arranged. DR.. Leonard took for his
text, He That Believeth Shall Make
Haste.
He alluded to the help that college
young men and women could give to
lettering the world, and he said that
we need a vision and a task, task
to make life worth the living is hardly
worth trying. He said there were
three things a college should give the
students-sound learning, general cul-
ture and power, but he said that the
college which is not christian cannot
give power. THE college Is to be the
defense in the great fight for liberty"
he said land the world fifty years
from now will be the world which the
present student makes 1t. 1t being

This is strictly Fargo college week.
( The college ION the hill" will have
numerous events from now until
/ wednesday evening, the principal one
being the commencement exercises
/ for the graduating class and the form
/ al inauguration of Pres c. c. Creegan
at the First Baptist church, Wednes-
. day morning.
Before a large and interested audi
/ ence, Pres. C. C. Creegan gave schol-
/ arIy and practical address yesterday
afternoon at the First Presbyterian
/ church, when he preached the bacca-
! laureate sermon. Taking for his sub
/ iect Thy Kingdom Come, he said In
I substance, that too much emphasis
had been put in the past upon the
heaven above, while what was all I'M
! portant was the realizing of heaven
here and now in every day living. We
should treat each man as a brother
minister to the physical as well as the
spiritual needs of those whose lives
touch ours. The remedy for social and
Industrial ills is genuine christianity.
The chief aim in life should be to
serve, not to learn and enjoy. An ideal
teacher teaches more by his example
than his words. This history or Japan
is not complete without the mention
of General Clark who did so large a
work in teaching agriculture there, but
who did a still greater work by re-
vealing and exemplifying christianity
in his own life.
The presidents charge to the gradu-
ates-first addressing those of the col
lege, then the graduates Of
all departments, was especially
strong, forceful and eloquent He first
called their attention to the need OF
caring for the physical A diseased
and exhausted body must always be a
barrier to the best development Of
mans higher nature. He urged upon
them the necessity of being students
all their lives, though not necessarily
in universities. One cannot keep
abreast of thought in this progressive
age, if content to rest on the laurels
won. The studious attitude toward
social problems is the only hope Of
their solution. Cultivate the love for
the beautiful, develop the finer in
Btincts and emotions and unite them
with the spirit Of the student and the
man or woman who lives to serve.

JOURNALS OPINION OF
MARSHALL'S CHANCES.

Devils Lake Journal: Thomas F..
Marshall was in Devils Lake this
week trying to size up the bat Ramsey
county will hand him at the primary
election. Thomas talks very much
like a man running for township sup
ervisor. For instance he says he is
sure OF being elected, that he can win
out Ramsey, easy enough, but since
there is no longer any question of his
election he would like to have some
one here upon whom he could de-
pend to make upon whom he could de-
pend to make recommendations for
postmasters. etc. The truth OF the
matter is that Thos. #. Marshall will
be beaten worse this year than he
was two years ago. He is not only
weaker In Ramsey county than two
years ago, but he is weaker in every

A number of the ladies of the local
lodge of the Eastern Star were the
victims of a smooth swindler who
gave his name as DR.. B. NJ. Frost,
from Chicago, and claimed that he
was a subscription solicitor for the
Eastern Star Record, lodge paper
published at Chicago. Several of the
ladies paid dollar for subscription to
the magazine, and when the magazine
did not arrive, instituted inquiries
which brought "a statement from the
magazine that they had no solicitor at
all in this territory. Information was
also received from the grand lodge
that Frost had been doing the same
thing at other points. He was last
last heard from at Frazee, where he
was still taking bogus subscriptions.

Weather and Crops.

for the past week or more, and there
was very light frost the latter part
of last week. AS is usual with a light
frost, some localities were not injured
at all, and in others the corn and fod-
der corn was frosted enough so that it
had to be cut immediately. Field corn
was sufficiently matured so that little
damage was done anyway.
The season has been very favorable
to shock threshing, and the shocks
have either been threshed or stacked,
and an unusual amount of early plow-
ing has been done this year.
