the college property is worth $4,000,
and all this represents the glorious
work OF Lutherans in Canton and

brothers in the noble work, because it
is all for the glory Of God and the up

Armour last Friday to visit his old
friends and take part in the beauti-
full services Of Memorial and Decora-
tion Day, because the remains Of n
that travelled the love journey OF
life with him for so many years lies
sleeping in that little home over on
Forest Hill. How pathetic, yet
beautifully sweet, to see the dear ones
sit by the silent mound and talk as it
were through the window of life to
the silent yet life-like form we so
tenderly placed under that mound
for ~safekeeping. We stand and gaze
through the sod covered with flowers
and see again the smile and hear the
loving words, as it used to be, and
then thank God that the future will
bring that Union the life of the
world-in the glory Of Christ's
promise.

Recital of Refugee From the Strick-

Duluth. oct. 10.-After being hem
med in by fire on nearly every side
and finally making his escape to a
railroad station with an unconscious
woman suffering from typhoid fever
in his arms, Frank Watson, a Beau
dette, Mimi. lives TO tell the story. He
arrived today. Everything was con-
fusion" he said Families became
separated in the rush. Women
shrieked and children cried. 1t was
everybody for himself and the mad
rush for a place of safety was like
a stampede Women with babies in
their arms sank to the ground and
were trampled under foot. Some held
out their babies and asked that they
be taken to place Of safety. know
ing they were unequal to the task and
resigning themselves to the fate they
knew the fire would bring.
Men We're driven half crazy by a
knowledge that their families had
been lost and ran wildly about. Now
and then someone would dive back to
a burning district. Then men endeav-
oring to get back fought with those
trying to escape. They went into bill
lows of fire and perished.'

TAFT AND ROOT IN
LONG CONFERENCE
Probability of the Latter's Appoint

Beverly. Mass, Oct. IA five
hours conference between Taft and
Senator Root Of Massachusetts, caus-
ed much speculation in Beverly to-
day. 1t is reported that Taft had
summoned Root to talk over the
prospective supreme appointments.
This report led to a revival of the
rumor that Root might himself be
come a member of the tribunal. and
might even be rendered the chief
justiceship. However, it has been
thought for several months past,
that the president had only Charles
Z. Hughes in mind in that honor
Senator Root is sixty-five years of
age. and it is reported in Washing
ton that following the appointment
and confirmation of Justice Lurton
last winter. the president had enter
ed into an agreement with a COM

not appoint any more judges over

event of today in connection with the
edict of expulsion was the release
from custody of Cardinal Netto. for
mer patriarch of Lisbon, whose ar
rest, the minister of justice explained,
was for the purpose of protecting him
from possible outrage.
Under the decree of expulsion all
the Jesuits property reverts to the
state. The property of other religious
communities will be disposed of later.
The Jesuits have enormous quantities
of land and in addition gold and sill
