Judson conqratuIated..

Senator Judson returned from lunch to be in at the finish. He was over whelmed with congratulations. He said that he was very much gratified at the vote which the house gave the bill.
 Debate Was Lively.
 The debate from the time the mat ter came up on report of disagreeing action until the very last was lively in the extreme. Representative Banks and those who stood with him were repeatedly charged with dilatory tac- tics in the motions they made. The rules were quoted on questions of procedure, and once an appeal was made from the ruling of Representa- tive Tingfer, who was in the chair, which was withdrawn.
 Banks Lost on Every Point.
 The point was as to whether, a mo- tion to table motion ordering the previous question could be entertain ed- It was entertained, although the claim was made that precedents were against it. In this instance the pre- vious question meant to take up the minority report Representative Banks lost every time questions went to a vote, and as the other side had insist ed upon a roll call, he also called for a yea and nay vote. These roll calls took time, and some confusion exist ed owing to restlessness of the mem = bers.
 Many Senators Present.
 The public utilities matter drew most of the senators into the house chamber, and there were many other spectators. In debating the public utilities matter the house did not hes itate long in declaring for vote on the minority bill after the preliminary tangle had been unravelled.
 Banks Motion Rejected.
 When Banks motion to lay the motion for the previous question CT the table was rejected, Representative Tingier ruled that the minority bill was before the house and that am endmentS were to be taken up as adopted by the sen ate. Representative Carey Of South ington appealed from the ruling, but withdrew it.
 Banks Redeems Promise.
 MT. Banks said he was ready to re- deem his promise to vote for the mi nority report (Applause.) T want no applause he said I'm ashamed to vote for the bill. I want to go on rec ord as saying that you gentlemen are absolutely slaughtering the chances of having a public utilities bill. I say this bill is not constitutional. I would not, however, change a comma in it I will vote for the minority report and keep my promise" (Applause)
 The bill was then passed.

Johannes A. Oertel, known to the world as the Priest Artist, died re- gently near Washington, D. C., and the works of art now Tn the possession of his estate have been offered for sale. Perhaps the painting that was most widely circulated was OertePs Rock of Ages. which he painted at his stud4o in Westerly. forty-fve years ago. This well known symbolic pic- ture. representing frail human nature ciinging to the cross set in the turbu- lent sea of life, is to be found in many Christian homes in every quarter of the earth. The presentation is be- lieved to be the most direct simple illustration of Gods plan of salvation that has ever been given the public, and It's meaning and spirit appeal as pctently to the loftiest imagination and most cultured mind as to those most limited MT. Oertel nas given to the world hundreds of pictures less widely known than the Rock of Ages. but many of them superior as works of art Rock Of Aces was a comparative ly small canvas and by no means his masterpiece in it's creators estimation, but 1t was it's good fortune to strike the popular fancy. The original can vas was purchased for s1.00O by Au- gustus Storrs of Brooklyn, N. Y., and a duplicate was made for another lover
 
 sensation and a shrewd dealer realized it's possibilities in popular reproduc- ton. Promises of rich royalties were made to the artist, and he permitted its rise, but did not properly secure his rights.
 New York hae several samples of the artists work Among the most notable examples are group of three paintings in the Church of the Heav- enly Rest. In Christ church. Dayton. Ohio. is a painting of Christ. which is considered to bear the most beautiful face of Jesus in American art.

 Washington possesses one of the finest examples of MT. OerteFs mural work in his treatment of the chancel of the Church of the Incarnation. This is said to be the. finest specimen of ecclesiastical decoration fin the coun- try. The beautiful carved symbolic altar and the entire reredos. completed in oo4or. monotone and carving are wholly the work of MT. Oertel.
 But the masterpiece of this master is a series of four colossal paintings showing forth Gods plan of salavtion which hang in the University of the South They represent the consum- rration of a great religious idea-re- gsrded Dy their author as a revelation and the lifelong mark of the true artist His work is of distinct type It is religious in nature, symbolic in character. and it's mission is to teach. Its creators object is to bring before mankind by his inspired brush the finer meanings of the Scriptures. and places Mir. Oertel among the greatest of religious painters.

a space there about five feet wide and
ten feet long where the ice never
forms. The artesian water is so
warm and the fish all come there for
air. Bernice said it truly was a
sight. Everything from minnows to
fish two and a half feet long. She
says she and all the neighbors have
all the fresh fish they can eat. How
is that for bleak and chilly Dakota :?
