Superintendent sheppard Preaching.
II -a-convert Is conscientiously op-
posed to immersion, he does not hest
tate to use the sprinkling or pouring
method Of baptism.
Because Of the long lapses between
the visits Of the pastor. a large part Of
the ministerial duties fall upon the
Sunday school superintendent
The service begins when Supt Shep-
pard mounts the rostrum. First 10 roll
call. With the record before him, the
superintendent. by signs, calls off
the name of each member, and each
person present responds in the same
fashion.
The Apostles Greed is recited In
unison The uniformity Of gestures
Is not the result of careful drilling,
but comes as naturally to the Worship
pers as speech to the average person.
Supt Sheppard then delivers a short
sermon, taking the Sunday school text
for the day for his subject. He is
known as an eloquent man" by the
members Of the silent congregation
His delivery has an earnestness that
impresses even those who cannot un.
derstand his signs.
At times he talks rapidly, his
facile fingers, accompanied by full.
arm gestures. working with a speed
that taxes the attention of his audi
ence. Again. for the sake Of greater
emphasis, the words come slowly, lin.
geringly. from his finger tips, and one
may we'll imagine that he is an adept
in his silent art Of oratory.
The eyes Of the members never
wander from the speaker. since.
through their eyes alone. can they re-
ceive his message.
At the close Of the superintendent's s
address the congregation sings" in
signs. Most commonly the hymn Is
one familiar to all the members, as
the singing would be hindered by hold
ing books. Next, the Sunday school
classes take their places. The lesson
goes forward as in the ordinary Sun
day school, except that the questions
and answers are In the sign language
The service closes with a benediction
Often ministers from other churches
in the city preach to the deaf mute
congregation. A young woman. who
married a mute. and so acquired .
thorough knowledge of the sign Ian
guage. stands directly behind the visit
ing speaker and acts as Interpreter.
As fast as the words are spoken. they
are transmitted to the deaf congre-
cation by signs.

In that manner the figures will be

NO FIGHTING NEAR PEKlNG
REPORT That City Had Fallen Without
Foundation,

Picking. Nov. S.-Reports that this
city has fallen into the hands of revo-
lutionists are without foundation.
There has been no fighting whatso-
yer here and there is no evidence
that the emperor or the regent have
fed. Prince Ching continues to act as
premier pending the arrival Of yuan
shi Kai.
Nor is there any indication that
Peking is endangered. Foreigners in
the various legations think it will be
the last of important cities to 60. The
presence Of many Manchu princes in.
dicates their belief that Peking is the
safest place in the empire.
The imperial government has con-
centrated here all the most loyal and
faithful troops in the army and has
eraftily sent all the doubtful regi-

Shanghai, Nov. 8.-Governor WI Lu
Chen Of Shansi province has been as
aassinated by Manchu soldiers. The
Manchus accused him of treason to
the throne.
WI was a revolutionist up to the
time of the issuance of the imperial
edict granting constitutional govern
ment to China.
Like Yuan Shi Kai he favored &C.
eeptance of these concessions, believ-
ing they obviated the necessity for the
dynasty's overthrow.
Hoping that he might win the Shan.
ri rebels over to his views the en-
peror recently named him governor Of
the province and he had practically &C.
e0mpiished his mission when killed.
BY his assassination all the work he
had accomplished is undone. The rev.
O%lutionists are convinced that no Man.
chu can be trusted, no matter what he
may promise, and the efforts of Yuan
Shi Kai and others like him to ave
the dynasty are almost certainly rel
dered hopeless. The general opinion
here is that Yuan's own fate will be
sealed If he trusts himself among the
Manchus at Peking by going there to
accept the premiership, as the govern
ment is urging him to do.

BuRDICK APPEARS NETTLED
Denies He Quit GubernatoriaI Race
to HeIp Hanna,

TO t5eIP ami
Lieutenant Governor U. L. Burdick,
against whom it has been insinuated
that his retirement from the guberna-
torial race was in the interests of the
L.. B. Hanna candidacy for the gov
ernorship, comes out with emphatic
denial Of that charge. He character
ICES some progressive Republicans
who have seemingly been ready to
make such statements as half baked"
His statement follows:
ANY newspaper or person who
thinks l declined to run for governor
in the interest of l.. B. Hanna had
better guess again. I stated my rea-
sons in plain, simple language.
Politically I am not a progressive
by name, but l have done as much as
any one man in the state to put pro.
gressive ideas into law. I will lend
whatever of influence l have to the
support of Robert NJ La Toilette for
president and a progressive Repub-
lican for governor. Simply because I
will not bankrupt myself to run for
governor there are half baked pro-
gressives ready to shout Wolf
"In my opinion there is absolutely
no use talking harmony within the
Republican party. The party cannot
permanently remain half one thing
and half another and the fight will
go on until we are all either progress
sives or all stalwarts and as long as
~progressives refuse to unite their
forces and make personal ambition
secondary to principle they may be
expected to be defeated by the stall
warts"

RAINFALL ABOVE NORMAL

Report Shows 1910 Precipitation az
1870 Inches.
The Wells & Dickey company of
Minneapolis made inquiry OF w. c.
Gilbreath. commissioner Of agriculture
for North Dakota, as to precipitation
in that state and crop results for 1911.
Mr.. Gilbreath reports on the matter
of precipitation 1870 inches, which is
1.21 above normal for nine months Of
the year. The excess is due principal
ly, however, to heavier than normal
precipitation during September and
in a few localities in August.
On the question of crops Mr.. Gil
breath makes this report:
"While our system of collecting
crop statistics will not give lie the
1911 figures until the summer of 1912,
when assessors figures are tabulated,
crop reports received during the
growing season enables us to make
an estimate of the yields which should
have some weight. Our rough cal
culation indicates a yield of wheat of
at least $4,000, 900 bushels with other
small cereals in the same proportion,
a full crop of corn, while the favorable
weather in the months of September
and October has wrought wonders
with the yield Of late sown fax. Al
together the department estimates
the value of agricultural grain, fodder
and tuber products for the state in
1911 at $150,00O, 900, surely no incon-
siderable showing in a particularly off
year for a state with a population of
less than 600, 000."
This is certainly a very excellent
showing for a state which, in certain
localities at least, suffered consider
able crop damage the past year from
inadequate precipitation and extreme
heat during the crop maturing period.
The heaviest precipitation during
the year was at jamestown, where the
total was 1911 inches. Next in guam
tity was at Lisbon, 22.61 inches.
