FARGO DISTRICT.
Bv Stunt. Mcnamara,

Following is synopsis of the re-
port of the superintendent of the
Fargo district:
This was the first year of the new
district and there was much work to
be done. There have been number
of changes in pastorates one of the
most important being that of Rev.
Leonard who moved to the Minnesota
conference after nine years spent in
Fargo.
There have been some advances in
the salaries of the ministers of the
district and in most instances all that
has been promised has been paid.
There are some of the fields that
have not been developed and some
places where churches are needed
have not been supplied.
There have been a number of re-
vival meetings held in the district and
in every instance theyhave resulted
in an increased membership.
There has been a great deal of at
tention paid to Sunday school work
and a great improvement has been

tor by name, and tell what great work
each has done on his field this year
but time would fail me to tell of the

the mouths of lions, quenched the

port through faith. Suffice it to say
that they have done the work this
year, while have done my best to

In Conclusion.
give praise to God the Father,
through our Lord Jesus Christ, for
the mercies of the past, the blessings
of the present and the promises of
the future.
And desire to especially thank
Him for the faithful body of preach
ers and their wives who have labored
with US in the Gospel, and for the
splendid cooperation of the many
laymen who have made so many
things possible with their money.
If on my part there has been any
lack of fidelity to this sacred trust, l
crave the pardon of the Great Head
of the church, and profiting by the
mistakes of the past, | hopefully turn
toward the future with morning

these he said was now the next great
work of the conferences.
When provision is made for the
care of the aged and worn out mini
sters and assurance given that when
active service is over there need be
no worry over the future, more young
men of marked ability will be drawn
to the work and in this way the
church will reap a great blessing.

and harmonious. Hence he understands
the unreality. of matter and evil and
knows that man Is not sick but that
the patient is simply suffering from
a false mesmeric belief. From that
standpoint he proceeds to correct the
errors of belief with the Truth of being
and thus establishes harmony on a
spiritual, scientific basis.
TT is not to be wondered at, indeed
it is inevitable, that Christian Scien-
lists should love Mrs Eddy for having
brought to the world this Science OF
Salvation, the true knowledge of God
and man, the spiritual understanding
of the Holy Scriptures which enables
them to know themselves and demon
strate that saving faith which alone
leads to heaven.
Mrs. Eddy did not simply state her
discovery to the world; she first DEM
onstrated il and then offered it as a
demonstrable Science for all mankind
to profit by. This Science overcomes
evil by giving a true knowledge of
God and His Christ; it enables all
humanity to work out their own saliva
tion and reach that pure consciousness,
which Jesus called the kingdom of
heaven"
This lecture will be repeated at the
Auditorium this evening and also to-
morrow evening in order that all may
hear the speaker, who is one of the
well known lecturers of the Christian
Science organization.

JAPAN SHIPS RIFLES TO
FRENCH S0MALlLAND
Weapons Used in Russian War
Sold to Jibuti

LONDON, Dec. 11.--A curious move
ment Of trade is likely to begin soon
namely the shipment of arms from
Japan to Jibuti in French Somalland.
The value of the consignments at pres
ent arranged for falls not far short OF
$500,O00 and it seems likely that the
rifles are some that were used in the
Russo Japanese war and are 50 long
er required.
Jibuti, situated on the African main
land Just outside the Red Sea, has
long been a favored spot for traffic in
weapons, though France, one of the
powers signatory of the Brussels act
in 1890. which included certain pro-
visions tending to restrict the trade
in arms from Europe with the semi
barbarous peoples of Africa, has been
able to check smuggling from that
port into the interior. But the pro-
visions of the Brussels act have not
been sufficiently explicit to prevent a
considerable trade which, though nomi-
nally carried on with places outside of
the prohibited zone, was often des-
tined for places within the zone, and
reached them either by means of a
change of destination as soon as the
high seas were reached, or by trans
fer of cargo effected on the high seas.
Also rifles have been sent from Jibutt
to the Persian gulf and landed from
native craft on the unfrequented coast
OF Persian Baluchistan to be trans
ported thence by caravans into Afghan
istan and the hill country bordering
on the northwest frontier of India. Vt
would be interesting, therefore, to
know If the sellers in Japan have TAX
en- the trouble to inquire what viii be
done with these intended consign-
ments of rifles.

REVENGE
MOTIVE OF CRIME
Officers Suspect Former EN-
pIoyes Killed Four Persons on
Farm in Kansas
MONEY LEFT IN STRONG BOX
Deed Conveying All Woman's
Property to Son Found
Among Her Papers
MONEY LEFT IN STRONG BOX
ASSOCIATED Press1

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 11.-Re-
venge and not robbery is now believed
to have been the motive of the murder
of four persons on the Bernhard farm
in Kansas Saturday.
The bodies discovered yesterday were
examined closely today and it was
found that Emiline Bernhard and her
son George had been terribly beaten
about the head, while Tom Morgan
and the hired man, who was To-Day
identified as James Graves of Oregon,
had evidently been killed by one or
two blows.
Edward p. Boyle, head of the Kan
sas City detective bureau, was sent to
the scene by Chief of Police Griffin
today. He assumed charge of the hunt
for the man or men who committed the
crime, and it is expected an arrest Will
be made here within few days.
SEARCH FOR SIX LABoRERs
The first step will be to locate six
men all of whom have recently
worked at the Bernhard farm. When
these are found the imprints of their
left hands will be taken and compared
with bloody finger prints found on the
white wall of a closet in which MIS-
bernhard is believed to have been muir
dered.
Another search was made of the
house today and strong box in which
valuable papers and some money had
been placed was found. In this box
deed conveying all of Mrs. Bernhard $
property to her son George was found.
The officers believe she intended to cut
off her other children. The deed never
had been filed.
A bank book found shows that Mrs.
Bernhard opened an account with
bank about a year ago and mad more
than $4,000 on deposit.
The body of the hired man was iden-
titled tonight by Glenn Cottner, farm
hand from Green Valley, Mo. Cottner
said the man was James Graves, and
that his home was in small town IN
oregon. Graves and Cottner, accord'
ing to the latter, worked on the same
farm in Missouri last September.

COMPARE ATHENS PRISON
TO CHAMBER OF HORRORS
Prisoners in Greek Jail Starve to
Death; Police Cruel to Children

ATHENS, Dec. ia certain amount
of suffering is unavoidable in every dis
ciplinary system; but in Athens every
day ones heart is torn by the sight of
barbarities which one had hoped were
only to be found in semi-savage coup-
tries. Reforms are now to be insti-
tuted, but these were practically forced
on the government by a pitiful tragedy
which occurred the other day in the
central police station, and has shocked
the whole of Athens.
In the center of the city is a large
and rambling building where prisoners
are kept to await their trial Here, in
cellars, the windows of which are on
level with the pavement, languish for
indefinite periods suspects of all classes
and ages. Herded together. these un-
fortunate men peer through the win
dows at the curious spectators. With
out sustenance or means to obtain it,
they climb to the level of the street
and thrusting their hands through the
bars importune the passersby for aims.
Children and old men, sick and hale,
are, it appears, thrust together in a
place of common confinement. There the
healthy soon become diseased, some of
the weaker prisoners die and the in
nocent are initiated into the knowledge
of vice.
This chamber of horrors, which is
passed every day by hundreds of
Greeks, has now had public attention
drawn to 1t. A suspect was one morn
ing found dead. 1t Is true that the
man had suffered from consumption,
bu the autopsy showed that no food
had been taken by the unfortunate man
for at least three days. 1t appeared
that the contractor had neglected to
supply food according to agreement
The guards were aware of the case, but
cynically declared that they had no
money to buy food with and the man
slowly starved to DEATH
1t is a common sight in Athens to see
small boys 10 and 10 years old, their
arms tightly bound to their small
bodies by clothes-lines, marched
through the streets by policemen with
bayonets fixed. After they reach the
prison to which reference has been
made, the period passed in awaiting
trial is long one. There is no one to
take up their cause and the general
public seems to see nothing barbarous
in the treatment of prisoners.

MEYER WANTS ANTIoUATED
NAVAL LAWS REPEALED
Statutes Made for Wooden veS-
sells Still in Force

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.--Legislation
to repeal two sections of the revised
statutes limiting the cost of repairs TO
hulls and rigging of naval vessels has
been urged on the house naval affairs
committee by Secretary Meyer.
When these laws were passed naval
vessels were built of wood and sails
were the principal means of propul-
sion. The electrical apparatus now IN
use for auxiliary purposes aboard snip
did not exist. The largest of these yes
sells had a displacement of about 52OO
tons, and they were simple and mex
pensiye compared with modern naval
craft. A limit of cost of $4,000 for the
repair of hulls and spars and $lOOO Tor
sails and rigging was then put in force.
Secretary Meyer calls the statutes
antiquated. and says there are no ad-
equate safeguards in force against use
less expenditures.

Newspaper Stock Used During
October Totals 102,878 Tons

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Shipments
of news print paper in October were
greater than in any previous month
since these statistics have been gath
cred by the commissioner of corpora
tions. They totaled 102,S78 tons, the
previous maximum having been 96,667
tons, last June.
The result was a decrease of 46,743
tons of stock on hand at the end of
October, as compared with 1886 at the
end Of September. Other principal
grades of paper showed moderate in
creases in production during october.
and as a rule somewhat larger in

RANCHES IN TEXAS
CUT INTO FARMS
Value of Lone Star State Ag-
ricuIturaI Land Is lnCreaS-
ing Rapidly
Especial to The HeralD

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 1.-THE
cutting up of the cattle ranches, tracts
of from forty thousand to two hundred
thousand and three hundred thousand
acres, into farms is the principal factor
in increasing farm values in the Lone
Star state. Commissioner of Agricul-
ture e. r. Kone, in his biennial report
just submitted to the governor, esti-
mates that the farm values in Texas,
including products, ETC., at this time
amount to $1,5S2, $4,000, and that they
are growing at the rate of two million
dollars a month.
The report states that the recently
passed nursery inspection law has
worked successfully and thousands of
dollars have been saved to the people
of the stae in a rigid enforcement of
the law preventing the distribution of
pests over the state. So enormously
are the agricultural interests growing
that the commissioner asks for larger
appropriations. He asks that the leg
islature arrange to pay 100000 or $4,000
per year for collecting, through tax as
SCISSORS, agricultural statistics. The
present statutes fail to provide any
compensation for the assessors, and,
the report states, satisfactory returns
have not been received.
Since the beginning of cold weather
in the north, the railroads entering San
Antonio have been bringing homeseek-
ers by the trainload. These are pr1n-
cipally farmers from the middle west
and the eastern states, who come for
themselves to investigate the prospects
for farming here.
REVOLUTION HELPS STATE
Since the revolutionary troubles in
Mexico, there has been noticeable
falling off in the homeseeker travel to
the southern republic and Mexico's loss,
in this respect, is Texas gain. There
is little difference in the climate and
soil of southwest Texas and northern
Mexico, where most of the Americans
going to that country are settling.
So many hitherto undeveloped tracts
which, up to the last few months, were
devoted to cattle, are now being sold
and cleared for farming in the coun-
ties between San Antonio and the Rio
Grande, that two railroads are to soon
follow the pioneer settlers in these re-
gions. One projected line will run from
ReeviIle. a city east of San Antonio,
to Eagle Pass, or some other point on
the Rio Grande. Contracts have been
let with a Chicago railroad constructing
firm to build the first division of this
railroad, which will penetrate not only
rich farming country, but lands con-
tanning oil and coal.
San Antonio capital is behind a rail-
road that will be built In an almost air
line from this city to Brownsville,
Texas, in the lower Rio Grande val
lev. 1t will be two hundred and eighty
five miles in length and tap the valley
at a point west and north of Browns
Vile, thus traversing the delta lands
and affording transportation facilities
for that rich agricultural section
