Wednesday afternoon was the thr,

OF Robt. Pearcy on Field avenue. Mr.
-Pearcy stated that he had sold from
his ranch this season. previous to the
coming of his winter apple crop, five
hundred and ninety dollars worth OF
produce; chiefly cherries and rasp
berries. He sold two hundred and
twenty-four crates of cherries and
seventy-five or eighty crates OF rasp-
an intensive cultivation among the
apple trees OF his orchard. Mr.
Pearcy estimates his winter apple
crop at between. eight and nine hun
dred boxes: for which he expects to-
obtain top prices on account of the
high quality OF his fruit. From four
fifteen-year- trees OF the Jonathan
variety Mr.. Pearcy picked last weet
one hundred and five boxes of first
class apples. He has nine trees c
Mammouth Black Twigs which he cal
culates will yield him at least two
hundred boxes of apples: a crop
that can hardly be exceeded in guam
tity in Fremont county. One tree Of
Mammouth Black Twig on Mr
Pearcy's place is expected to produce
thirty-five boxes of fruit this year
Mr.. Pearcy will get a revenue OF some

or. FULKERSON'S LEG
TURE ON THE CRISIS"

The lecture given by Rev. DR.. E.
r. Fulkerson at the First Presbyteri-
an church Thursday night under the
auspices OF the ladies OF the West
minister guild on THE Crisis" was
largely attended and was an interest
ing and scholarly discourse. The au-
ditorium OF the church was fairly
well filled by a representative gath
ering OF men and women of the COM
munity and the closest attention was
given to the speaker from the begin
ming to the close OF his address. DR..
Fulkerson was introduced to the as
semblage by Rev. Geo. F. Sewer.
The lecture was predicated on the
premise that the average civilized
man was a bad man and that no na-
tion can rise above the average moral
concept of It's citizens. DR.. Fuiker-
son proclaimed himself to be an op-
timist OF the optimists and stated that
while the moral and social concepts
OF mankind were low and debased
they were not beyond redemption Ly
the saving grace of the Christian re-
ligion. The low moral concept OF life
and its responsibilities by the aver
age man. according to DR.. Fulkerson.
has resulted in this country In the
cheapening ~ man life: In a con-
St wing disrespect for consti-
tuted authority; In the lightness in
which the marriage relation is held:
In the awfulness of the white slave
traffic; In the graft and greed which
characterize the government of our
great cities and in a multitude of So
cial and economic evils that are fast
destroying the virtue and vitality II
the nation.
The low moral concept Of the aver
age citizen OF this country last year
brought one hundred and seyenty-fiye
thousand men and women to its lails
and penitcntiaries for violations OF
law based upon the ten command
ments. II was responsible during
1912 for one hundred and fifteen
thousand OF It's citizens being buried
In Potter's field. IL caused sixty thou
sand young girls TO leave Christian
homes and enter upon a life OF shame
and debauchery and caused sixty
thousand other girls to be imported
into this country from abroad for inI-
moral purposes; all OF whom will ind
graves In the Potter's field of the na-
tion wiskis .hs next ten years.
No monarchial government can be
better than the moral concept Of lis
ruling classes and no republic can
exceed in virtue the average moral
conception OF It's average citizen. Ac-
eording TO the report made to the
governor OF Ohio last year by the sec
rotary Of state Of that commonwealth
one-third of all the marriages sol
emnIzed in that state the previous
twelve months were presented to the
divorce courts for dissolution. One
eighth OF all the marriages In that
state for the period mentioned were
dissolved by legal decree.
Unless" said DR.. Fuikerson. -the
moral concept OF the men and women
OF this country Is toned up the Divine
declaration against Babylon. Thou
are weighed In the balances and
found wanting Will be written over
the portals of this nation"

Account of E. J.
Berry's s Death
(Glendive Review.)

Edward ]. Berry. one of Glen
dives foremost citizens. proprie
tor of the Hotel Jordan and
prominent capitalist, died in a
room in the Olive Hotel, at Miles
City at 3:25 o'clock. Thursday
afternoon, after an illness of less
than 80 minutes duration.
Mr.. Berry went to Miles City
last Monday morning for the
purpose of attending the Custer
County fair. He took with him
one or two of his track horses.
Being an ardent and honest lover
of the sport of harness racing he
insisted on driving his own horses
and it was just as he finished the
first heat of the 2:30 trot, the first
race of the afternoon. that he was
touched by the hand of death.
]. B. eastman. an employe of
Mr.. Berry's hotel. was also driv-
ing in the race and was behind
Mr.. Berry when the horses came
under the wire. He states that
several rods before the mare,
Cornelia Mack. driven by Mr..
Berry, reached the wire. he no.
ticed the latter dropping over to
one side. assuming an attitude
that was quite unusual to drivers.
When the horse stopped Mr..
Berry got down from his sulky
rather weakly and called for
some water. A friend rushed to
him with bottle of ice water and
he drank a small portion Of the
bottles contents and immediate.
ly thereafter was seized with a
hemmorage. and expelled quite a
large quantity of blood from his
mouth.
By this time John Riley. man.
ager of the bar at the Jordan,
and Ed. Nichols. one of the old
time conductors who has been
stopping at Mr.. Berry's hotel 70,
years, rushed to his assistance. He
was placed in DR.. Andrus' motor
car and accompanied by Riley
and Nichols and the physician,
was hurried with all speed to his
room at the Olive! By the tim.
he reached his room the flow oi
