Through this gloom there comes
back a bright beam of sunshine
which turns u tears to jewels of
promise. For the Sabbaths of
earth he now enjoys the never
ending Sabbath of heaven.
The funeral services were held
at the NJ. E. Church, where he
performed his last labors in the
Masters cause as pastor of this
charge. They were conducted by
Rev. j. w. Worsnop, of st. Louis,
presididg elder of the De Soto dis
trict, assisted by Evangelist E. T.
Adams, who was recently associ-
ated with the deceased in a series
of meetings in this city. The high
tribute touching upon the life
and work of their departed friend
and brother fell upon attentive
ears and was filled with thoughts
OF a life well spent and worthy of
emulation.
The casket was covered with
beautiful and appropriate floral
designs, all of which spoke of
peace, purity and immortality.
The special music rendered by
the quartet composed of Mr.. A. j.
Sohwieder, Mr.. H. w. Smith and
Rev. E. T. Adams, and Mrs. w. G.
Devol and Mrs. A. j. Slack, with
Mrs. R. Stephan presiding at the
organ was such as to soften all
hearts and to moisten all eyes.
AT the close of the services in the
church, the Masonic order took
charge of the remains and per-
formed the last rites at the grave
on a lot adjoining the church ON
the east.
Besides a devoted wife he leaves
three children, one brother and
one sister. We can only remind
these dear relatives that he is not
dead; he is only asleep-resting
after a long and we'll spent life.
And from the beauty of his life we
should take inspiration and go
forth to live as he lived, so that
when the summons comes we may
say as he did, "All is WE'LL"

GOOD for Senator Hitchcock OF
Nebraska! The Senate last week
adopted a resolution offered by
him calling on President Taft to
submit to it all the CORES pom
dence with Colombia dealing
with the acquisition of the Pana-
ma Canal zone by the United
States. He urged its adoption in
a speech in which he charged
former President Roosevelt with
participation in a conspiracy to
foment the revolution by which
Panama was lost to Colombia and
the canal zone became the proper
ty OF this country. There was no
division on the vote for adoption.
"The conspiracy which resulted in
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Colom-
bian republic occurred in the Unit
ed States, with the approval of the
highest United States officials and
the spoliation vas largely in the
interest of a combination of influ-
entail capitalists who controlled
the French Panama Canal compa-
N.Y." declared Senator Hitchcock.
He assailed the Washington gov
ernment's course and referred to
what he said was a blunt declara-
ton of ex-President Roosevelt in a
speech recently delivered in Cali
foruia, that he ''took the canal
zone" sit is not possible" said
the Senator, "to lock up in official
archives the sensational and dis
graceful record of our treatment of
Colombia, our breach of solemn
treaty; our instigation of an insur-
r%ectlon, our spoliation of a weak
sister republic"

READ in the papers that Fort
Worth is torn up because of the
indictment, and the occurrences
leading to it, of the pastor of the
First Baptist Church of that city
1t seems that the Rev. gentleman
claimed to be the victim of wicked
persons who he said had assaulted
him personally, had set fire to his
church and dwelling, and had as
sailed him and certain of his flock
with anonymous threatening let
tiers. A special grand jury was
called to investigate; the pastor
was summoned before it, and in
his testimony swore that he did not
know who had written the anony-
NOUS letters, and that he himself
had not written them. His indict-
ment for perjury followed. Evil
IDENTIFY, some Fortworthians are, as
some other folk have been before
them, suspicious of attempts to
flimflam them with a series of ''put
up jobs" The pastors church is
standing by him, and l trust there
is more scriptural warrant for it
than was shown in the Richeson
case as we'll as some others of less
er moment.

License of Big Place Was Trans ferred to Him This
 Morning

The transfer of the license of Thomas Lawson to Al. White was made this morning and he has again entered the Big Place. He announces that his policy will be the same i'll future as ill the past. Everybody is invited to make the Big Place their headquarters. The Big Place is the largest of it's kind in Alaska and can accommo- . date all who make it their loung- ing place. few minor changes will be made and go in effect about Feb ruary l2. Budwciscr beer will be on draught as well as the home beer. The agency of the Ann heuSrr-13uSch was offered Mir. White while he was in San Fran cisco, and on account of the large amount of that beer in bottles which was used here during the IpaSt summer Mr. White finds it better and more satisfactory on draught, providing. of course, af- ter the shipping il is in it's w0rId- famed condition.
 lt is also announced that dur ing the day a merchants lunch will be served to all patrons of the house. changing the menu cv- cry day. This is now the custom l of all frSt-claSS houses on the outside, the cost of the lunch be- ing small comparatively to the grade received. The American Press service has been secured land all the notable events repro duced by photograph will be post ed in the Big Place daily. This new method of letting the public see reproduced pictures of all mo- table events they read about has been made very popular in all the tcities where the service is taken. A city as large as San Francisco is only allOwel four subscribers and places like Valdez and larg- CT arc allowed only one. The req son given is that too many sub scribers spoil the attraction, and none of them would find it pay ing to have the service.
 The only other change an1 nounced is that the Lovera cigar, Paciflco, will be handled at the bar in conjunction with the oth- CT standard cigars handled at the cigar department.
 The familiar old sign, "Busi- ness is Good" has been changed and it will now read Business | is Better"

FARGO'S GROWTH
HAS BEEN STEADY
WORK OF BOARD OF EoUALIZA-
TON SHOWS FARGo's GROWTH
TO HAVE BEEN STEADILY IN
cREAsHNG WITH LITTLE Elk
cEPTioN SINCE FIRE or 1898.

Fargo's growth depends upon the
development Of the state and. not
w~ithstandinR the short crop Of 1910
and 1911. the city has shown q steady
growth since the great fire of 1893,
with the exception of the months be-
tween April /, 1910 and May 1, 1911.
The city board of equalization adj
journed the last of the week and &C
cording to the values determined upon
the city has reason to congratulate
itself. Several Of the items show a
falling OFF while the majority show
an increase.
OF the former there was a slight
falling of shown in the values which
come under the classification of goods
and merchandise owing to the loss of
the all-Robertson Hardware CO..
and the Meredith drug stock, the two
of which approximated $40, 600. There
was also q noticeable decrease in ve-
hicles, which was more than made
up in the increase of automobiles.
For a number of years the deputy
assessor has made notations Of the
families moving away and the new
ones moving into the city. These re-
ports indicate that the western fever
is falling off, for from April /, 1909
to May /, 1910, a large majority of
the people leaving Fargo moved west.
FROM April !, 1871 IL was apou
equally divided between those moving
east, north and west. From April i.
1911 to May l. 1912, a large majority
OF those leaving the city of Fargo
moved either north or east. Between
April 1, 1910 and May /. 1911, the
city Of Fargo lost ia families, which
number Is more than it gained in
that period. From April /, 1911 to
May 1, 1912. however, this loss was
more than overcome and the city Of
Fargo, Notwithstanding the loss Of
goods and merchandise and the loss
Of the Porritt building, has more than
held her own.
One of the interesting points in the
facts shown in the report of the board
of equalization is that the number Of
horses in the city in 1911 and in 1912
are identical. The number of horses
In the city for both these years is
$50. which is rather a singular CO.
incidence.
