The victim of the assault was con-
fined in St Johns hospital for several

MAYOR VETOED
CITY PURCHASE

city council last night, which lasted a
little more than an hour. Mayor Sweet
vetoed the councils purchase of lot
on First avenue south near the corner
of Fifth street after an opinion on the
same had been filed by City Attorney
Smith.
Mr.. Smiths reasons for the illegality
of this purchase were numerous. At
the session before last, when the pur-
chase was ordered Mr.. Smith express
ed himself that this purchase was only
another plan for city market in dis
guise.
The resolution providing for the pur-
chase stated the property was needed
for place In which to house some Of
the apparatus used by the street and
water departments. The, city attorney
declared that was only the ostensible
purpose. .s
No attempt was made to press the
resolution again over the mayors veto
which is possible by two-thirds vote
of the council, though ii was rumored
that this would be done later.
Alderman ,Cupler read communica-
ton from Court Reporter Green of the
Third Judicial district, who took most
of the testimony of the examination
conducted by the special investigation
committee probing the police scandal,
which stated that the minutes Of the
examination could not be transcribed
until next Thursday at the earliest
possible date
AS consequence the council de-
ferred the hearing Of any report from
the investigation committee until the
next regular meeting, Dec. 2. An early
adjournment was taken.

DIR. STEARNS' LECTURE

A very appreciatiVe audience gath
cred in the First Congregational
church last evening to hear: the third
lecture by DR.. Wallace Stearns of Far
go college in his course of lectures
along the lines Of archaeological ex-
plorations. The SUBJECT of the lecture
last evening was Israel and Her
Neighbors, and was fun of interest.
The slides were wonderfully clear
and some representing the country as
it is today in natural beauty remind
of the scenery in this country. Those
showing the excavations were also a,
surprise in point of delicate workman
ship. A map of Palestine made in the
fourth century, A, D., a suite OF un-
floors. bas-reliefs, many Of them rich
in information relative to the Gus
toms of the time, and numerous 9TH
er subjects were thrown on the cam
vas. These, accompanied by the in
teresting descriptions and historical
data given by the lecturer, furnished
an hour of unusual pleasure and profit.
Many of the slides had been used only
once in this country previous to last
night, and ten of them are the result
of the work of last winters explora-
tions.
DIR. Stearns explained the early dt-
vision of the Arabian people, speak
ing especially of the Hitittites, whose
tablets are unfortunately now so
closely guarded by their discoverer
that the world for the present can
achieve little value from them. The
cities as they are today were thrown
on the canvas; also the buildings or
the American college and of an old
monastery and church. .,,
The great work of excavation is still
going on, and it's revelations, supple
mented by the remnants OF its people,
who still inhabit the country, are un-
folding valuable history.
Dr Stearns is eninently qualified
to sneak on this subject and Is recog-
nized among the archaeologists as an
investigator and scholar. His lee
lures are arousing much interest and
are attracting the public attention.
Two more will be given in the Con-
gregational church Nov 20 and Dec. 3.

CONVERTS BY
The HUNDREDS

Fargo people will be interested In
learning of the success of the eyange-
Iistic meetings of Billy Sunday.
which has been going on for three or
Tour weeks at McKeesport, Pa.
Last Sunday, according to the pa-
pers IN the east, there were immense
crowds in attendance. The following
gives notes OF the meetings.:
Thrice yesterday the huge taber-
nacie at McKeesport, where Billy
Sunday is conducting a six-weeks,
evangelistic campaign, was crowded
TO capacity. Excursions were rim on
the railroads and large DELEGATIONS
from many towns in the Monongahela.
valley attended the meetings. 1t is es-
timated that 10000 persons heard
sundays sermons yesterday. The
collections for the forenoon and af-
ternoon services were S1235,1O
The afternoon meeting attracted
10000 men and boys, when Mr.. sun
day spoke to men only on. the sub
1ect, Chickens Come Home to
Roost. The text used was Let the
sinner be consumed out OF the earth,
and let the unclean be no more.
1t Will be seen that he is using just
as vigorous language as he did when
he was here, for he said:
Il sometimes find people who
think lightly of sin. A person who
thinks or speaks thus has lost all re-
spect for right, all respect for
sobriety, all respect for decency and
right living and all respect for ey-
erything. Sin is sin. There can be
no half-hearted view of 1t.
When you go staggering home
with a drunken, muddled brain, you
make your wife and children suffer.
You are placing an everlasting stain
on them You dirty, low down. whis-
key y-soaked piece Of humanity, you az
feet every one with whom you come
in contact. IL person sins against
himself. his acts affect himself. But
when he sins against others, he runs
afou1 of the law. IL you sin, you will
go to hell. There is no other way out
of IT. / see kids not yet in long
breeches who know more about cigar
cites and cursing than Methusaleh did.
and you know frizzle-topped sim
ners wearing dresses not to their shoe
tops, who know more vice than their
granimothers."
Mr.. Sunday made personal appeal
to his audience and 254 men, ranging
in age from 16 to white hair, went to
the mourners' bench. Mr.. Sunday be-
came so enthusiastic that he was
forced to take off his collar.
Mrs. Sunday and Miss Miller of Mr..
Sundays force spoke to women yes-
terday afternoon, MIS- sunday in the
First Baptist church and Miss Miller
in the First United Presbyterian
church. Each had large number of
converts.
The evening service was short. Mr..
sunday spoke from the text. PLATE
saith unto them, What shall do.
then, with Jesus, which ig called
Christi They all said unto him. LET
him be crucified /" Mr.. Sunday re-
peated his act Of the afternoon in TAX
ing off his collar and also removed his
coat When the call for converts was
made, 124 went forward.

more misunderstood than my father"
said Gates. HE was not the big
plunger that people pictured him. He
had none of the small arts that char

methods were direct They puzzled
Wall street, because he made a habit
of telling the truth or else saying
nothing" a4
