MUCH EXCITEMENT IN
one SMALL town
Stranger Who Bemoaned Fact that
Nothing Ever Happened
There Changes Mind.

Miller, Aug. 29.-Another 3-inch ar.
tesian well has been secured here at
a depth of 1,13S feet with a flow of
l20 gallons a minute and a thirty
pound pressure to the inch.
A travelling man who came here for
the first time declared that he did
not like small towns, for nothing ever
happened in them, and he guessed he
would not Gene as far west again.
This was about 6 o'clock in the eve
ming. In q few minutes he heard a
clap Of thunder in the west and he
saw Peter Weir's barn tumbling to
the ground with other disturbances of
a like nature, as hail and rain follow
ed. He next heard some one cry out
that a fine new artesian we'll had
started flowing.
The next few moments also had
something of interest for the strang.
er for he heard others say that a boy
had just been born to a prominent
family; and that a daughter was to
be married soon These four inter
esting happenings all within a few
moments caused the stranger to
change his mind about the smaller
towns being dead.

All Of the larger Minneapolis thea

Jack Elliott, manager of the Unique

he only has enough to last six months,
he could not afford to sell at any

PRIESTS
face CHARGES
Buddhist Leaders in Japan Are
Charged With Embezzlement
Of Enormous Sum.

Toxic, Aug. 29.-Indications which
have been returned charging five Bud
dhist priests with the embezzlement
of approximately $4,000. 900, together
with allegations that the corruption
has extended to some prominent Off
Gals attached to the Imperial Palace
in Toxic, and the resignation of the
distinguished abbot, Count Otani, OF
the Western Honganji sect, because
of the scandal, and his announced in
tenti0n Of migration to Chile to- begin
life anew as a farmer, have consti-
tuted a sensation for all Japan.
Count Otani's case is Of absorbing
interest. The Western Hongan9i sect,
founded 700 years ago, has been one
Of the richest Buddhist associations
in Japan. Today 1t, has a debt of
some $5,00O,OOO. The sec. has =
beautiful temple ct Kioto, and it's
leader, Count Otani, had over a mil.
lion followers throughout the Empire.
He was one of the most picturesque
and commanding figures in Japan, al.
though only 80 years OF age.
Propagated Buddhism.
His great idea was to make Buc-
dhism Of the East as strong a force in
the world as the Christianity OF. the
West. He had travelled much abroad.
He went through China, studied Bud
dhism in India, made Investigations in
England, sent favorite priests on long
journeys to all parts Of the world,
equipped an exploration to Central
Asia started a religious propaganda
on a large scale for the diffusion of
Buddhism and kept in touch with the
world problems to an exceptional de.
gree. He spent much time and mon
ey in establishing Buddhist schools in
which his priests were educated,
bought and sold land, harbored an
ambition to become q member of the
House of Peers, and built a magnif1-
cent palace on the top of Rokkosan, a
mountain near Kobe.
He saw that Christianity, as he put
it, was like a strong chain that join
ed the countries of Europe together.
He predicted a time when there might
be a great clash between Oriental
Buddhism and Occidental Christian
ity, and wondered whether Buddhism
would be strong enough to hold to-
gether the yellow race.
His ambition was to strengthen
Buddhism so that when the great com.
bat came the religion Of the East
would predominant.

and had his ideas. He told the young
men that they should go abroad as
missionaries, specially to the Incul-
tured parts Of the world for the DIFF
fusion Of Buddhism. His students be-
gan to dream of adventures in far dis
tant lands. Some went to Australia
and others to the Pacific coast OF
South America.
Then he conceived a gigantic
scheme to explore Central Asia. He
was convinced that a Buddhist party
would be able to make discoveries
that would strengthen the claims of
Buddhism upon the world. Older
priests pleaded with the abbot not to
launch such an expensive project, but
the Count insisted and sent a boy of
Is, son of a Nagoya priest, as the lead
er Of the expedition. The undertake
ing cost thousands Of dollars. It's re-
suits were doubtful as concerning sci
ence, say the Counts critics.
Lived RegaIIy.
Count Otani meanwhile lived in al
most regal style in his wonderful vii
la at Pokkosan. His mansion was
rich in carvings and paintings and
rare objects OF art. There, We're gar,
dens, dormitories, schools and all that
goes to make up a little kingdom OF
itself, looking down upon the harbor
of Kobe and the Bay Of Osaka. The
dormitories were modelled after thoss
the abbot had seen at Elton. Cloth.
ing, furnishings and food were lux
urious. When the old priests who
slowly climbed the mountain, coming
from the temple at Kioto, remons'
trated with him for extravagances he
told them not to worry as he was
seeking the, great interests of Buo
dhism. y.
Not one of the abbot's pre- sent crit.
les accuse him of vanity or personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. He was sincere,
they say, in his big enterprises which
included speculations in land. He
was influential and W II liked by his
priests. But debts began to accumu'
late and the sect with it's 10000
priests and 10000 temples began to
face financial troubles. The superb
art treasures Of the Kioto temple had
to be sold. Then finally came the ar.
rest of the priests on charges of en-
bezZlement.
The five priests who are under in.
dictment were members of the board
of directors managing the extensive
properties of the sect. The charges
include allegations that there was
payment and acceptance of illicit com
missions in the transfer of property
from the sect to the Imperial House
Count Otani forthwith resigned his
leadership and appointed his four
year old son rs his successor. He
auctioned off the furnishings of his
beautiful villa at Rokkosan and an
nounced his intention of going tc
