(. POINTS IN
CONTEST
Jordan Rested His Case This
Afternoon
Case Postponed Till Tomorrow
by Pollock
VIII Give Attorneys Chance
to Look Up Law

J. ]. Jordan rested his side of the
mayoralty contest case today.
Tie defendants attorneys immedi-
ately filed a motion to dismiss the
case. Owing to new and novel law
points involved Judge Pollock postpon-
ed the case until tomorrow morning to
give the attorneys time to look up ar
guments.
The defendant moved to dismiss the
case because he claims that:
First: It appears from the undis-
puted evidence that the plaintiff has
not made out a cause of action, in that
the defendants majority of five votes
appearing on the face of the returns,
has not been exhausted or overcome,
and f...
Second: Because it appears AFFIRM
atiyely from the evidence that the
returns from the First ward must be
excluded from consideration by the
court because the same are untelli-
gible, and that by excluding the same
defendants majority cannot on any
theory be overcome.
The special point claimed in the last
reason arises out Of the manner in
which the election was conducted in
the First ward. 1t appears that the
judges and clerks of election became
somewhat confused in the method Of
procedure, probably growing out of the
fact that two elections were being had
at the same time; the one for the NOM
ination of democratic and republican
delegates and committeeman and the
other the municipal election. 1t was
shown that the clerks first recorded

"Sin Must Become Vice
Before Society Slams
the Doors in Its Face"
This Was Statement Of Sunday in Gripping Sermon on Moral
Lepcr Before Monster Crowd at the Tab
ernacle Last Evening
Drew Vivid Word Picture Showing Similarity Of LoathsOme
Disease LeprOSy and the hsdiOus Growth
Of an Evil Life

Rev. William A. Sunday, the famous
baseball evangelist, drew an immense
audience last night at the tabernacle
when he preached on the subject of
The Moral Leper. In addition to the
important theme of the evening, it was
the birthday service Of the Sunday re-
vival campaign and everybody was
requested to drop in the plate as many
pennies as they were old. The offer
ing last night was swelled to $492.54.
Rev. j. M. Walters of the First
Methodist church made a brief talk
before the sermon began, in which he
presented the idea of the collection and
urged everyone to do his share. He
said that if anyone happened to be
backward about revealing their age, a
dollar could be put in the plate and all
embarrassment could thereby be avoid
ed.
Titantic Passengers Prayed.
Before beginning his sermon proper
last night, Rev. Mr.. Sunday comment
ed on the appalling disaster and the
fate of the great Ieviathan, the Titanic.
He said that every man and woman
aboard that vessel prayed, regardless
of their station in life.
Don't you suppose John Jacob Astor,
worth S15O,0OO,0Oo, prayed when he
saw the boat was sinking and that he
was going to a watery grave? Don't
you suppose Ben Guggenheim, worth
$95, 100000. prayed as he saw the life
boats back away and knew that the
Titanic was sinking? Don't you sup
pose PercivaI White of Philadelphia,
worth $5O,OOO,O 900, prayed? I'll venture
to say that everyone of them prayed
when those life boats backed away.

They were saved"
The Moral Leper.
His sermon, The Moral Leper which
the former baseball star preached last
night, is regarded as one Of his four
best efforts and is one of the only four
that are on sale. Following the sery-
ice last night Mr.. Rodehaver announc-
ed that, though Mr.. Sunday did not al
ways follow the practice, he had con-
sented to have copies of the sermon
on sale as the people went out.
Mr.. Sunday took his text from the
second book Of Kings, chapter v, part
leper."
In part he said: have sometimes
imagined myself in Damascus on re-
view day, and have seen a man rid
ing somewhat apart from his troops,
upon a horse with trappings of gold
and silver, he himself clothed in gar
ments of the finest fabrics and the
most costly, but with face so sad
as to cause the beholder to turn and
look a second time. And a man un-
accustomed to such scenes might have
been heard to make a remark similar
to this: How unequally providence
seems to divide her favors. There is a
man that rides and the others walk;

something FOR herself she decided
that she would be traced If she en-
deavored to board a train out Of
Minot, and therefore decided she
would walk.

that she was going out for walk and
would be back soon. That was the
last seen OF her. Advertisements
have been placed in the local papers
with the view to finding out her
whereabouts, but no response has
been received to date.
miss MaIstrom last summer or
ganized the Independent Messenger
service with offices in the Brauer
block. She employed force OF mes
senger boys and did a considerable
business. She continued this business
several month, but gave IT up during
the dull months Of the latter part OF
the summer.
miss Malstrom attended the Minot
schools, and was well liked by all
who knew her. She was of very
kind disposition and was never dis
posed to quarrel with anyone She
was hard worker and seemed anxi-
Gus to earn money.
"She came from Fergus Falls, Mimi,
several years ago. During the last
year she has made her home with her
sister, Mrs. Ada Martin, who lives at
119 East Third street. Mrs. Martin
has conducted diligent search and
has been assisted in her efforts by
the Minot police who have secured
the city, but without avail"

Vaudeville and Pictures That Are
 Good Attract Crowds.

Hansoone in magic and illusions. Honey Johnson who travels with the title of the Man with the Golden Shoes, and Edgar Foreman &, Co. with a new sketch made up the change of bill in vaudeville at the Davis Broadway theater on Thursday and furnished three turns that kep the good sized houses well satisfied. Han some is a real mystiher, who works with a finish and precision that pre- sent ever new and startling illusions for his audience to wonder at and ap- plaud.
 Blackface comedy in good measure and quality is the contribution to the bill made by Henry Johnson, and the versatility of MT. Forman and his partner is convincingly shown in their new sketch in melodrama that is far removed from the heavy dramatic work that they did so well earlier in the week. In The Circus Day they were equally pleasing with what they played earlier in the week. The mo- | ton pictures are as usual fine in se- 1 lection and production.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Good Vaudeville and Motion Pictures

An excellent programme of vaude- vile and motion pictures is billed for the last half of the week at the Au- ditorium and Thursdays audiences were evidently well satisfied with the attractions.
 The leading number of the vaude- vile programme Is Jack Swift" pre- scented by James Kennedy and com- pany. James Kennedy, who has play ed in Norwich a number of times pre- viously, makes a decided hit in the character of Jack Swift, and he is ably supported by the four other members of the cast. Golding and Heating, the Australian Magnets, have classy singing and dancing act that brings a big hand. Jesse Edwards with her troupe of Pomeranian dogs, did not appear at the afternoon show owing to the failure of her baggage to arrive, but gave an entertaining performance in the evening.
 Excellent photoplays complete the meritorious bill.
