REMARKABLE
SERIES Of
ADDRESSES

A daily trayelogue to every corner
of the earth, a museum of curiosi-
ties from countries now being bet
tered by christian evangelism, il
lustrated lectures. books and photo
graphs, daily talks by men and wo-
men of world wide reputation, these
are few of the privileges going to
each member of the world study class
which will be the big feature OF the
world campaign of missionary evan
gelism that will be held here Feb. Q
to %.
There are two divisions of this
class. In the first the enrolment fee
is placed at 81 and includes all of the
privileges of the campaign. The meet
ings are absolutely inter-denomina-
tional. The entire report of the world
missionaries has peen prepared in a
volume of over 500 pages and a copy
will be presented to each member be-
sides a set of 500 views illustrating
the daily life and customs of the peo-
pie and the work of missionaries.
The second division for which the
enrolment fee is 81 includes all privi-
ieges Of the campaign, except mem
bership in the world study class.
However. it is expected that this de-
partment will have an enrolment of
at least 1000 members as every
church member in the city is expected
to belong to at least this division If
1t Is found impossible to join the
world class. Membership in this di-
vision will entitle the member to a
reserved seat at all lectures and meet
jngs, especially the illustrated lee
lures which will be held In the even
ing. These lectures will be very much
the same as those now given by Bur-
ton Holmes, under the title Travel
ogues. The series of lectures will be
as good as trip to Europe for not
only will they be fully illustrated, but
an exhibit of curios will be held In
addition. The speakers Will be men
of rare platform ability, ministers, lay
professional men and women, who
have, personally visited the foreign
field where over 1000, ,000, 900 people
are being taught the principles of
christianity.
The work is now peing rapidly or
ganized all over the tsate under the
direction of state chairmen. A spe-
cial feature is to be made of the Sun
day school work which will be under
the direction of w. A. Snow. Live
Wires, the official organ of the North
Dakota association contains big
article this week on the coming cam
paign and what it means to the Sun
day schools of the state.
Registration for the classes has al
ready commenced and is increasing
daily. Practically all of the local
churches in this city and Moorhead
are joining enthusiastically in the
movement which is expected to do
much for the cause OF missions, both
local and foreign.
The question Of missions is a world
question and to study missions is ia
get world vision. When ii Is con-
sidered that Fargo will be the first
and smallest city in the United States
which Will be visited by the world
campaigners the fact is made very
plain that this event will provide an
unusual opportunity TO become ac-
quainted with the non christian world
and it's needs.

at Marion, six miles from here, for
nearly an hour early today.
Then he turned loose with his pistol
and officer Charles Gillen, of Cedar

Cook was injured. The fight between
Lee and the officers was followed inn
mediately after an attempt at a
Jail delivery in which two explosions
occurred in rapid succession.
Outside friends had endeavored to
set Lee at liberty. They cut all the
means of communication so that only
one telephone wire was available aft
er the explosions. Sheriff LOTUS,
awakened by the explosions. finally
found this wire and got in communi-
cation with the police department
here. A squad of six officers was
sent to the scene.
After Gillen was killed the remain
ing officers rushed at Lee and over
powdered him. The other prisoners in
the Jail were demoralized. but none
attempted to escape. They were
brought to Cedar Rapids for safe

COLLIDED;
one SANK

Newport News, Va, Jan. 4--Ths

from Port Tomah to Baltimore, was
sunk off Tangier Gas buoy in Cheese
peak bay yesterday, having been IN
collision with the British steamer

in bow. Twenty-Five lives were lost,
including Captain Gilbert and his
wife.
Eight men, including the second
mate of the Luckenbach, were taken

hours in the gale which is sweeping
the bay. The others in the rigging
with them, numbed by cold dropped
off one by one and drowned.
The revenue cutter Apache started
for the scene of the wreck from An
napolis, forty miles away.
Although the Luckenbach was sunk
before yesterdays gale broke over the
coast, the eiglm men who remained IN
the rigging were caught in its full
fury which broke about two hours
after the accident. The known sur
Vivors of the Luckenbacfl's crew are:
Chief once Hunt; Second Officer

Some Very Interesting Facts Brought Out Regarding the Offices
la Held by the Different Parties Ill. Vi aas h ..

with eleven elective offices in each,
exclusive of commissioners, consta-
bles and justices, of the peace. There

election but Golden Valley has since
been created out of Billings, making
half hundred counties with $50
county offices.
Monday 45O of these began new
terms. Until this year the county
:treasurers always assumed their du-
ties at the first of the year but under
the new law the terms of treasurers
do not begin till May. For many
years the coun.y auditors have not
taken up their work till April l.
There is some controversy over the
office of treasurer. The old law says
that no treasurer shall hold office for
more than four years. This would
seem to prevent those whose second
term expires Monday from continuing
in Office until May /, when the new
treasurers assume their duties. There
is another law, however, which says
all old officials shall hold office till
their successors qualify. The prob
lem does not this year affect the treas
urers who were reelected. In the
other cases the county commission
ers are seeking to avoid complica-
tions by either appointing the retir-
ing treasurers to serve the next four
months or making special appoint
ments OF the newly elected treasurers
for that purpose.
There are many interesting facts
shown by an examination of the re-
turns ON county officials in the diff
ferent counties Of North Dakota. The
large percentage of the offices held by
republicans is matter of surprise TO
those who had given the question no
examination.
AS Wilson electors were chosen in
the state and the democratic candi-
date for governor ran second the nat
nral supposition was that the demo-
Gratis had named a large percentage
of county officials as we'll as members
of the legislature, but they got only
seven of the 110 members of the lower
branch of the legislature. OF the fifty
members of the state senate they
named only five this year and have
one hold-over democrat from two
years ago.
