SMITH ATTRACTS CROWDS.
People From Distant Points go Il
Danvillc TO Hear Evangelist.

Danville. Va, Sept. 2O.-"Gypsy"
Smith revival services, which have
been in progress here since last SUI.
sav night, are being largely attended,
and there has not been ! night when
the Ridge Church Tabernacle, capable
of seating 5000 people, was not h'seu
to it scapacity.
People are coming in he rfrom dls-
tant points to hear the evangelist, one
arriving yesterday from Florida and
.another from Indiana. The evange-
list has won many converts SINCE ne
came to Danville.
1t is not an old-fashioned revival
where the converts approach the evan
,gelist and shake hands Instead they
are ushered into two large inquiry
rooms, which have been partIhoned
off in the tabernacle, where the perso-
nal workers take charge of them.
The evangelist, who first saw light
! in a Gypsy camp in England is re-
markably forceful speaker, and a
man with wonderful insight into
human nature. His sermon Oh he
pentance," preached on Thursday
night, is regarded es being one Of the
strongest heard here in years.
A big mnss-meettrg for men Is
planned for Sunday.

.DYNAN1ITED HIS HOUSE.
stonemason Kills Himself Ana
Daughter.

Bloomington, Ind, Sept. 2O.-Care-
fully selecting the places where he
believed the most damage would be
done, Mack Hurst, so years old, a
stonemason, early yesterday blew up
,his home here with dynamite, killing
himself and his l7--year-old daugh-
ter, Maude, injuring two other chill
dren, and stunning his wife.
Hurst had been separated from his
wife for six weeks and Thursday she
refused to take him back. 1t is be-
ieved that he then, in a hit Of in
sanity, determined to wipe out the
entire family, consisting Of his wife
and eight children.
The dead girl met the fate intended
"Cr her mother and the fact that they
mad changed beds for the night cost
The daughter her life. Hurst, after
5tealthily painting stick of dy-
u@mitc under each Of the three beds
N the house, in the darkness, tied
Two sticks to his own body, crawled
into the bed which he had formerly
occupied with his wife, but which
Thursday night contained the three
daughters, Maude, Fannie, and Eliz-
abeth.
Fannie spoke TO her father, Lay
still" Hurst replied. I'VE will all
die together"
Before the girl could make move
The explosion rent the house ano
aroused the entire city. The police
a"d fire department rushed to the
scene, sent the two injured girls to
lie hospital, and cleared away the
debris. Four sticks of dynamite, I'M
exploded, were found in the ruins;
and the fact that only one, and that
ore attached to Hurst's body, had ex-
rloded, accounted for the escape of
Tie other members of the family.

OIL At MARMARTH
THOUGHT CERTAIN

Marmarth Mail: The oil excitement
has not only reached Marmarthians,
but it has already interested many
people outside of our village, among
them being H. A. Miller, postmaster
at Austin, who says that he has
noticed surface indications on his
place ever since he filed on the land,
and that there are springs in that
vicinity tina are SO oily that even the
swine won't drink the water.
Mr.. Miller has an intimate acquain-
lance with w. c.. Terel Of Beaumont,
Texas, who has made two or three
fortunes out of oil in the Texas oil
fields, and who Mr.. Miller is trying to
i~nterestin the Marmarth supposed oil
fields. n
A couple Of capitalists in the per-
sons Of w. c. Larue, a wealthy iron
investor and J. T. Pearson, capitalist
and attorney for Mr.. Larue, ware in
the village Monday looking up oil
prospects. The Mail is not sufficiently
posted to say just what these gentle
men were here for, but they seemed
very we'll satisfied with their investi-
cations, and let it be understood that
they would be heard from again.

i, UNIVERSITIES HAVE WIRE.
LESS CONNECTION AGAIN.

Grand Forks, N. D.. May 2S.-Dr.
A. II. Taylor Of the university ply
sics department communicated with
the University of Michigan again by
means of the wireless. He stated
tnat ne could hear the messages very
and answered without any
trouble by using only about half Of
the power at his station. Messages
were sent back and forth between the
TWO institutions from 1890 o'clock
last night until 3:40 this morning. The
operator at the Michigan station was
n. 5. Sheppard. DIR. Taylor has been
l communication with him before,
Inc messages were transmitted over
|o0 miles through the air. DR.. TAYLOR
says that he worked his Instruments
late at night because far better results
are obtained during the darkness. It
mas also been found out by experiment
mat better results are obtained in
winter as the nights are so much
longer than in summer.
Dr. Taylor has been communicating
with different stations over the coun-
try frequently. Two weeks ago he
sent the results Of the state high
school track meet to Fargo after each
event and also received bulletins Of
the U. N. D.-Fargo college game
which was played at Fargo Saturday,

And as other great powers became
federate, these new declarations might
also come to be represented in the
grand council.
If, therefore, the application Of the
federal system to the forty-eight
United States has alone saved those
states from m~ilitarism (and this is ad-
mittedl, we shoulddbe careful not to
appear to ignore the incompatible

AUTO KILLED A
VALLEY CITY Man
CRUSHED UNDER GAR - TWO

WITH INJURIES.

tomobile pinioned Peter Jorgenson
Carl King and Olaf Ostad underneath,
~Jorgenson being killed while King and
Ostad were badly injured.
The accident occurred near Latona,
this county. When King regained his
senses after the fall he attempted to
open a door to get out from under
the overturned machine but failing in
this dug his way under the machine
with his hands and finally crawled out.
He called to his companions but fall
ing to gain any response supposed
they We're dead sc left n went for
help.
1t is supposed he must have still
been dazed as he passed -four houses
and finally stopped at the home of
William Adcock where help was Sc
cured. When the party returned
about 1 a. M. it was found that Olstad
had regained his senses put JorgensOn
was dead, evidently having been al
most instantly killed. His chest was
crushed by the back of the seat and
he probably died from strangulation.
Just how the accident happened
seems to be a little vague but it is
said that the men were driving west

ADVERTISED Wife
Third VENTURE

Ambrose Newsman: Some time
ago Lem Haynes, a we'll known color
ed gent of this city, advertised in The
Freedman for a lady Of color to share
his joys and SORROWS, and ever since
he has been busy reading letters and
examining photographs from ap-
plicants for the job.
Lem finally selected a dusky maid
from Butte, Mont, by the name Of
Emily Grant, and notified her that
she was the lucky gal. Emily notified
Lem that she would be with him on
Friday last and Lem, with a number
of his friends, was on hand to meet
her.
AS she stepped from the train Lem,
with the exclamation Oar she is"
greeted her with all the zeal of a
true lover, and with his face beaming
with happiness proudly escorted her
to his cabin.
He then hied himself to the county
seat and procured the necessary IL
cense to wed and Saturday evening
the happy couple were united in the
bonds of matrimony by the Rev. Sum-
stad. This is LENS third matrimonial
venture and The Newsman hopes that
it will prove more successful than the
first two.
