scheme for advertising the different
kinds of work that can be done by
dynamite and they have engaged the
Industrial Motion Picture company OF
Chicago to make number of films

alton and the work that can be ac-
complished. Three men representing
the picture company spent yesterday

PRAYERS WERE WASTED
Methodist Minister Says
Prayers in Legislature
Did No Good.

The following dispatch sent out
from Madison shows what retired
Methodist minister thinks of the
prayers that are offered in the state
legislature and the effect that they
have. Mr.. Tull was rendered q
check for So for offering a prayer in
the legislature, but returned the
same, saying that the prayer was
wasted.
Rev. A. L. Tull a retired Metho-
dist minister living in this city, has
lost faith in the Wisconsin Legisla-
ture and has returned his check for
$5 paid for delivering an invocation
in the Senate, accompanied by a
letter to State Treasurer Dahl, read
ing as follows:
| received your check for 50 for
delivering prayer in the senate.
thank you and the senate for the
courtesy but return it, as to keep it
would be purely commercialism, in
accepting $3 from the Lord for the
moment upon them.
Really, it seems as if the $679
paid for prayer during this session
was lost money, as the Legislature
done such rotten business on all tenn
perance measures, it indicates that
not single prayer reached the Lord
for the promotion of temperance,
but that He favored the breweries
and saloonkeepers. How could pray
er for money fail.
| have been sick in bed for six
teen weeks and needed money worse
than any of them, but not such
money.

Washburn Wins Game with
Odanah Sunday.
Fast Team From the Reser-
walton put up a Good
Game of Ball.

The streak of good luck of the
base ball tossers from the Odanah
reservation was broken last Sunday
when they met the Washburn City
team on the home grounds and that
team went down to defeat with the
score to 8. Odanah has been play
ing good ball this season and has
been victorious in nearly every con-
test until the game last Sunday when
they met their Waterloo.
The game was called at $3.50 D.
m. with Odanah at the bat. Their
first half ended with abig o. on the
score board. Washburn however, Jared
better and succeeded in slipping one
over. With man on third and two
men out the ball was thrown to first
to catch the runner and the ball was
missed by the first baseman and the
locals got in their first run. Wash
burn again scored in their half of the
second inning and it was not until the
third inning that Odanah crossed the
plate. In the first half of the seventh
inning Odanah tied the score and in
their half of the ninth inning went
ahead one score. 1t looked as if the
finish was in sight but Day for the
Washburn team succeeded in making
a pretty drive to center field which
gave him two bases. G.. Gordon
followed at bat and swatted the ball
for another two bagger, scoring Day.
This tied the score. Gordon stole
third on pass ball and Wiley made
a nice sacrifice hit, scoring Gordon
and the game was won.
1t was a close and exciting game
for the entire nine innings and one
wrong play might have made a
difference in the result.
The score by innings was as follows:

Passenger Train Wrecked
Saturday Night
Rails Spread at Switch and
Entire Train Left
the Track.

The passengers on the incoming
scoot' running between this city
and Ashland were given considerable
of shaking up Saturday night when
the entire train left the rails at the
switch Just below the Northern Paci-
fc depot in this city. The train was
running at the rate of about fifteen
miles an hour when it struck the
switch which apparently was partly
open, enough to allow the hange on
the engine wheels to pass between.
This throwed the track farther tapart
and the two passenger coaches jump
ed the rails. The train run dis
tance of about one hundred feet after
crossing the switch before it was
brought to stop.
There was about forty passengers
on the train and they were all given
a good shaking up, but apparently
none were injured in the least.
The track from the switch to
where the train was brought to a
stop was all torn up and spread and
twisted, and it required the work of
the section crew and two engine
crews to get the track
cleared of the wreck and fixed
up again. The engine was not dam
aged in the least but the passenger
coaches had their wheels twisted some
and were brought into the local yards
where they were repaired Sunday
morning.
Just how the switch could have
been left open in such manner is
somewhat of mystery unless it had
been tampered with after the switch
man had closed it.
