WOMAN AFTER MANY YEARS BE-
COMES A CHRISTIAN AND RE-
PENIS FOR SINS.

After years of life in other states,
going through young girlish years,
maidenhood and finally becoming the
mother of family, the good of true
Christian experience has led one wo-
man to repent for crime committed
when but girl in his city.
One of the local stores yesterday re-
ceived letter from a woman, who was
a former resident of this city years
ago, when the town was small and so
discouraging that some families return
ed to the east, relating an experience
which has story of real life interest.
More than twenty years ago, this
woman, then a girl, was with other
children being educated in the new
schools of Dakota Territory, and wan
dcrcd around with the other little tots
after the school hour was finished.
One night after school she was walk
ing by one of the stores and was temp
ted by large box of fruit on display
in front OF one of the stores, looking
around to see whether or not anyone
was watching her, unbeknown to her
playmates, she slipped large rosy ap-
pie in her pocket and when she had fin
ally left the rest of the children, de-
voured it with a relish.
A few years later the family moved
to the east. She grew into womanhood
and like most other young ladies had
her many love affairs. She became mar.
ried to young man and as wife and
mother did her noble duty.
A few weeks ago a church in the
town where she now resides, started a
series of revival meetings and she was
persuaded to attend. After few
nights attendance at church she be,
came convicted and convinced that
there was something lacking in life
which she did not enjoy and she went
to the altar.
After her return home, there was
something that bothered her, some,
thing that seemed to be unsettled in
her mind, and she remembered about
taking the apple when she was lit
tie girl way out at Devils Lake, North
Dakota.
Right then and there, she fell on her
kness, asked forgiveness from he1
Maker, and in letter written while
her heart was full of sorrow for the
little sin committed, asked the mer'
chant to forgive her for the act.
The letter arrived yesterday and he1
absolute pardon has been granted and
notice sent to her telling her that her
indiscrect act had been absolutely for,

DECISION OF JUDGE AND JURY
WAS REALLY IN FAVOR OF
DEFENDANT.

In the case tried Thursday where
Aslakson & Peterson were plaintiffs
and We're ueing II. G. McMurray, the
instruction Of the judge to return a
verdict for $4,000 and interest if they
found for the plaintiffs, and the jury
gave them the $4,000 as the judge had
instructed.
The case is number of years old
and is result of McMurray's hired
man buying merchandise Of the mer-
chants to the amount Of $4,000 and
then leaving the bill, fed from the coun-
try. The firm then tried to secure in
demnity from Mr.. McMurray, who re-
fused to go good for the amount.
While Mr.. McMurray was compelled
to pay $4,000 with interest, in all
amounting to about $500, the firm of
Aslakson & Peterson were compelled
to pay the costs in the case and the
judgment received was not nearly
enough to satisfy this amount.

GOT TOGETHER LAST NIGHT AT
COMMERCIAL CLUB ROOMS TO
DISCUSS IT.

A committee from the council and
one from the Commercial club met last
night at the club rooms to discuss the
street car franchise. The committee
from the club felt about the same in
the matter as did the councilmen and
owing to the fact that Mr.. Stotlar is
not in the city and will not be for
some time, nothing conclusive was done.
Nearly eevry member Of the meeting
agreed with the rest that the franchise
asked for altogether too much and
could not be granted as it stands;
many clauses in the articles would have
to be revised before it would even
meet with the sanction of either the
council or the club. Owing to the alb
sence of Mr.. Stotlar the matter will
have to rest for the present.
Minot is having similar experience
with their franchise and have instruct
ed the men who are promoting the rail
way there to draw up another form to
be presented to the commission and
this is to be done at their next meet
ing.

GRAND SECRETARY STOCKWELL
BRINGS TO LIGHT A CASE
WITH UNUSUAL HISTORY.

The Masonic Bulletin, which has
just been received from the Office of
Grand Secretary Stockwell, contains
the secretary's account Of the manner
in which old jewels, used many years
ago, were brought to light. The story
follows:
''When the vault of the grand sec
rotary was being cleared out prepare
tory to installing new fixtures, there
appeared, among other things, case
Of jewels, which had formerly belong
ed to old Chancellor Walworth lodge
at Steele, N. D., which surrendered its
charter prior to the organization of
this grand lodge. These jewels, with
other paraphernalia, finally found it's
way to this Office where they have lain
buried in darkness for many years.
These jewels are an especially fine set
and were presented to the original
Chancellor Walworth at Steele by the
members of Chancellor Walworth lodge
Of New York city. The old lodge was
organized through the efforts of Col
John W. Carroll, now of Lisbon, who
was made Master Mason in Chancel.
lor Walworth lodge, New York city.
These ewels have been restored to the
present Chancellor Whlworth lodge by
order of the grand master R. W. Rob-
ert Morrison, and are greatly priced
by the brethren at Steele because of
their historical value. The two pillars
are among the property to be restored;
they have been for many years in use
by Shiloh lodge at Fargo. These pill
lars were also a gift from Chancellor
Walworth lodge Of New York.

MISSIONARY WAS KILLED IN AN
ENDEAVOR TO SAVE
OTHERS.

Fairview, S. D., Jan. 26.-Iawrence
Beckman has received from his broth
or Richard Beckman, for fourteen
years missionary in China, the first
letter written since his wife and daugh-
ter were killed by Chinese mob. The
long interval before the receipt of tho
letter was one Of anxiety to the South
Dakota relatives and friends of the
missionary, for it was feared that he,
too, had been killed.
But the receipt of the letter proves
that he and his youngest child, whose
life he personally saved from the mob,
were alive and we'll on November Is,
when the last section of the Litter was
written. The first part Of the letter
was dated October 81, but owing to
the fact that it was impossible to
mail it more was added to it from
time to time, until November Is, when
it was mailed.
The mission where the Bcckmans
were stationed lies just outside the city
of Sheng Flu and is surrounded by a
wall eight or ten feet high. Tie let
ter states that at about l a. NJ, on
mission. The oldest Becl,man child,
Selma, aged IA, and missionary nam
ed Value, who came from North Da-
kota, succeeded in getting over the
well and kept ahead of their pursu-
ers for time, but finally were captur-
ed and murdered at point about eie ut
eight miles from the mission.
In the meantime thoss remaining
within the walls hid themselves in a
small building However, after all
the buildings had been set On fire, part
Of the mob lined up around the wall
while the remaining members renewed
the hunt. When discovered the Beck
mans made dash for liberty. Mrs,
Beckman was overtaken and killed,
but Beckman, with their yc
child in his arms, succeeded in escap-
ing to nearby orchard, where he hid
by standing in deep water. He was
hunted like wild animal, but finally
escaped to the city.
The letter states that the Beckman
dead were buried Nov l.
The parents Of Vathe, the mission
airy who lost his life while striving
to save the Beckman girl, reside at
Cooperstown, N. D.
