MINISTERS PATH
 ROUGH AND ROCKY

CHICAGO. Nov IT. - An amaZ- ing story of alleged persecution at the hands of a church and certain ministers of the gospel. was told to- day by the Rev. Wm. R. Newell, a widely known evangelist.
 In 1909 Rev. Newell was banished from the Moody church, West Chi cago and LaSalle avenues. Among the charges were persistent use of narcotic drugs and a greater accusa- ton involving women of his con gregation.
 fingered because the church con tinued to denounce him, Rev. Newell today told how he was induced to leave Milwaukee sanitarium by two preachers and taken to a de- serted house in the Wisconsin woods. The clergymen wished to pray the devil out of him." but their methods merely aggravated the nervous break down he was suffering from. While he was in this condition, the clergy men brought some stout straps to the house and threatened to bind him to the bed and flog him if he did not confess to wrOngdoing with the women Rev. Newell made a confession and now states that he was mentally irresponsible at the time, but that the executive board of the church nevertheless ac- cepted the confession and busted him.

SHRINERS ARE TO SHINE

Are you Mystic Shriner? No? Too bad. cause the very livest up- to-date entertainment ever given in the North has been planned by tac members of the Farthest North Shrine club for next Friday evening. Contrary to expectations. this en- tertainment is not open to anyone eX cept Shriners and their ladies. The impression has prevailed that while the general public would not b. eligible. any man who was Mason might attend but the committee would like the matter understood, so that no complications may arise.
 The stunts are being kept secret, so that everyone will prove great surprise.
 The Shriners the world over are celebrated as being top-nOtcherS when it comes to giving entertain ments, and the lively bunch in Fair banks will prove no exception to their brothers on the Outside.
 Sometimes the hired girl solves her own problem by getting married.
