as the eliminating meeting Of the
series.

of the success of the meeting is to be

evening and thus contribute to the
interest and profit of the regular

Special Meetings Close
Grand Success in Every Way.

Last Sunday night was the closing
service of.the special meetiongs which
have been running at the Methodist
church for the last three weeks. The
heavy storm Of Sunday cut short the
attendance at both the morning and
evening services but Notwithstanding
there was good number present at
both services. The attendance at the
evening meeting was especially a
surprise for the storm had lasted all
day and drifted the streets full with
no attempt to clean them, yet the
main auditorium was comfortably
filed and the chorus was represented
by at least halt its full strength.
At the morning service ten persons
were admitted to the fellowship of
the church and at the evening service
two more, making in all about forty
who have taken this step, with half
as many more who have expressed
the desire to do SO but who were de-
tanned by the storm on Sunday. In
addition to this great many have
been moved to begin higher life who
will add the strength of their new
purpose to the working force of other
churches. Nor can all the good be
measured thus. Many who we're In
attendance throughout the meetings
agree with Prof. Gilmore, who said
that In his long experience in evange-
listic work he had rarely seen such
thoughtful and earnest attention
given to the gospel proclamation by
the people generally, Of all ages and
every calling.
Three special meetings contributed
to the success Of the closing week OF
the meeting. Thursday afternoon was
Old Peoples day, and though the day
was cold more than forthy were pre-
sent, some being conveyed by carriage
and automobile. Wednesday even
Ing was devoted to the business men,
the pastor preaching on "a Shrewd
Merchant" to q considerable number
Of the business and professional men
Of the city. But greatest Of all was
Friday night, "High Shool Night, !"
devoted to the interests Of the
students Of the public schools and Of
Augustana college. The church was
brilliantly decorated in scarlet aud

Canton Wins.
Fast Game of Basket Ball Won
By The City Team And the
High School Girls.

The Canton City basket ball team
went to Akron Saturday and gave
the Akron team lesson in the art of
playing the game to win.
The Canton team played horse with
Akron, gave them the ball then took
it away again, just to show that they
were good fellows and at the end of
the game the score stood 1922 in
favor of Canton. Ed Juel Of the Can
ton team made 30 Of the 4s points for
Canton and owing to the fact that TO-
wards the end Of the game he grew
'peevish" and refused to throw any
more points for Canton. Akron may
consider their lesson easy.
The Canton high school girls ac-
companied by the boys as a side issue
left for Madison Friday and played
the high school girls of that city and
won by score of IL to THE Canton
boys played curtain raiser for the
girls with the high school boys Of that
city and lost by a score of 10 to IL
The two team then LETT for Flan-
dreau where they played Saturday
and the girls again won and the boys
lost. The girls played the game of
their life here as the Flandreau girls
have not lost game this year and it
was up to the Canton girls to win
which they did by score Of ga The
boys again lost, but they put up a
fair game considering their condition.
The score being 1912 in Flandreau s
favor. For the girls Mirna Anderson
was the star. She played guard
position and did so we'll In both games
that she was responsible for the low
scores on the other teams. The boys
seem to have hard luck and with
that no organization, work they do,
but never together and it is hoped by
the teams followers, when they play
the Orphans Home for the Champion
ship of Beloit, that they will give
good account of themselves.

PARTIES
Lands Adapted to Every Branch
of Diversified Agriculture, Soon to
Be Offered in Lots to Suit on
Easiest Terms

Agricultural and farm extension
animously agree that the most i'm
portaut transaction in farm lands
recorded in the middle west for many
years, has just been made public. We
refer to the recent acquisition OF 7l2,-
600 acres of rich lands in the upper
peninsula of Michigan, in section
centrally located with regard to the
most important markets for agricul-
tural products in the country.
This important purchase was made
by II. II. Hamilton, president of the
we'll known Western Land Securities
Co., of ST. Paul, whose offices are In
the Endicott Building, and with
whom many of our readers have
transacted business in recent years.
This large tract, originally conveyed
by the Government as part of rail
road grant, has never before been
placed on the market, while millions
of acres, far less advantageously To-
Gated, have every year been eagerly
taken by anxious settlers. 1t is the
cream of the Great Lakes region,
recently made a matter of special
mention by the Secretary OF Agricul-
ture in his annual report, being situ-
ated in Chippewa, Mackinaw, Luce,
Schoolcraft and Alger counties,
known to include the finest soil for
farm purposes, in the United States.
All this section is specially adapted
to dairying and diversified farming,
as all crops grown in the temperate
belt can be produced in abundance.
The soil is exceedingly rich, all sect
ions are we'll watered by streams and
lakes, and the rainfall is uniformly
abundant. Apples raised here are
the finest in flavor and keeping quality,
and great variety Of fruits can be
successfully grown. Railway and lake
transportation connect all parts of
the Peninsula with the leading mar
kets of the middle and eastern states.
The farms already operated in the
Peninsula are very valuable, and re-
corded sales have been at handsome
figures. 1t is certain all improved
and unimproved lands in the entire
section will bring many times the
present values in the near future.
But this tract will be Immediately
offered to purchasers in quantities to
suit, at very moderate prices and on
the most liberal terms. A central
demonstration farm and experiment.
station will at once be established
under the management Of Prof. F.
w. Bouska, formerly of the Agricul-
tural College at Ames, Iowa, and
every assistance will be given to set
tiers to aid them in the most profit
able conduct of their farms. The
opening up of this section offers early
buyers an unprecedented opportunity
for securing choicest farm lands at
low prices, with all the advantages of
older sections Immediately available.

THANKSGIVING DAY IS NOV. 80
President Taft Will Set Aside Last
Thursday as Holiday.

Washington, Oct. 25.-President
Taft has put aside the rumors and
speculation regarding the date of
Thanksgiving day this year by de-
claring that his proclamation will
set aside Thursday, Nov. 80, as. the
day to be celebrated.
There has been much controversy
over whether Thanksgiving would
fall upon the fourth Thursday" of
November as usual, this year or upon
the slast Thursday" there being five
Thursdays in the month this year.
President Taft has decided to fol-
low the rule established by President
Johnson and followed by the presi-
dents from that time.

"PUSSYF00T" DENOUNCED
Secretary Fisher Declares Johnson's
Attacks Unjustifed and Makes
Counter Charges.
BRANDS HIM 1ND1sCRET OFFICER
tCopyrtght- 1S11)

In an official statement issued yes
terday, Secretary Fisher Of the in
terror department denounces as Gun
,justitiable the charges made. by for
mer Special Agent w! b. ("Pussy-
.foot") Johnson, against Assistant
Secretary Adams and Assistant Com
missioner Abbott of the Indian bu-
reau. Secretary Fishers statement
is as follows:
''Since my return to Washington,
several statements, attributed to Will
liam E. Johnson, former Indian liq-
uor agent, have appeared in the daily
press which contained serious accu-
sations against First Assistant Sec
rotary Samuel Adams and Assistant
Commissioner F. H. Abbott of the In
dian Office. Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Alb
bott are at present out OF the city
and I have hesitated, during their
absence, to reply to matters of this
sort. However, the attacks are who'll
ly unjustifiable and should not re-
main longer unchallenged.
"The facts regarding Johnson's
resignation show that he preferred
to resign from the service rather
than meet certain definite charges
against himself. Apparently Mr..
Johnson entirely failed to realize
that a government officer in pursuit
of crime must be careful that his
own conduct be not open to serious
criticism.
Assistant Secretary Adams and
the officials of the Indian service are
quite as jealous in prosecution
against those who sell liquor to the
Indians as is Mr.. Johnson. If his
discretion had been at all equal to
his zest he would have been contin-
ued in the service. Unfortunately,
this was not the case" -

0PSAHL CLOSE TO DEATH
Barely Misses Gun Continuance Set
on Shore Of Smyth Lake to
Slaughter Game.
OWNER GIVEN JAIL SENTENCE

Death from a gun set in the woods
in the hopes that a deer or other
wild animal would trod upon and
discharge it, was missed by less than
two steps by J. J. Opsahl of this city,
former member of the legislature,
while tramping along the shore of
Smyth Lake, at ,Nebish. H.
The dangerous continuance had
been so arranged that by stepping on
wire both barrels would be dis
charged. Mr.. Opsahl was making di-
rectly for the death trap when he
discovered the wire and made eau
toous investigation. He took the
shells from the gun and came to Be-
midi and reported the matter to
Game Warden S. C. Bailey, who pro-
ceeded to secure evidence in the case
and Deputy Sheriff Hoyt was sent to
Nebish to arrest w. J. King, a home
steader.
King was brought to Bemidji and
accused of setting the gun. He was
arraigned before Municipal Judge H.
A. Simons but denied his guilt and
demanded jury trial and employed
A. A. Andrews as his attorney.
The case was set for trial yester-
day. Game Warden Bailey had the
gun in his possession and the evil
dence was so conclusive that King
changed his plea to guilty and was
given a fine of $50 and costs or As
days in the county Jail and as he
was unable to pay the fine he was
locked up.
Another conviction for violating
the game laws was secured by War
den Bailey who arrested C. w. Da-
Wis for having white fish in his pos
session out of season. The fish were
taken out of Lake Irwin. Davis paid
fine Of $40 and costs.
