EXCELLENT SERVICES

The Mothers Day services at the
Congregational church were of more
than usual interest. The attendance
was large both morning and evening
so large that the twelve and a half
dozen carnations provided for those
who were not already supplied was
exhausted at the morning service.
The sermon to Fathers and Sons
by Rev. Shaw was strong and listen
ed to by company Of young and
older men that filled one side of the
room. The special musical features
of the morning were solos by Miss
Baldwin and Mrs. Volby-He Shall
Feed His Flock and Come Unto Me
from The Messiah-approprite in
themselves and rendered in an artis-
tic manner. The evening service
in spite of the threatening storm was
fully as large as the morning filling
every seat. The program which fol-
lowed the opening exercises and solo
by Mr.. Corbett of high merit, was in
charge of Miss Florence A. bennett
and her Class known as the Delta
Alphas. Too much praise cannot be
bestowed on the teacher or those who
had part in the program. On every
hand the word was spoken "Cannot
we have more" The Y. F. BIS have
the floor for the next program.
The following is the program rem

NO TEARS ARE SHE'D WHEN
WIFE AND CHILD SEE CON.
DEMNED MURDERER

Winnipeg, Man,, May 9.-At 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs..
John Krafchenko, her seven-months'-
old babe in her arms, approached the
entrance to the provincial Jail and
when admittance was gained, pre-
sented an order, signed by Chief JUS
tice Mathers, for permission to see
her husband, who awaits death by ex-
ecution on July 9, in penalty for his
crimes.
Mrs. Krafchenko was ushered to
the death chamber, and there. in the
presence of two guards, talked in
Roumanian to her husband, who grip
ped tightly the bars in front OF his
cell. All Of the conversation was in
a voice loud enough for the guards
to hear, both parties being admon-
ished that low talking or whisper
ings would not be permitted. The
bars did not admit of a more affec..
tionate embrace between husband and
wife than an earnest hand-clasp.
In half hours time Mrs. Kraf-
chenko was notified that the inter.
view was ended, and soon afterward
she left the Jail. There were no tears
Shed by either husband or wife.

BAGGAGE CASE
GIVEN AIRING
THE STATE RAIL COMMISSION
HEARS BOTH SIDES OF EX-
CESS CHARGE ACTION

Bismarck, N. D., May THE rail-
road commission yesterday held
hearing on excess baggage rates, the
complainant being the grand council
of the United Commercial Travellers;
Several travelling men represented
their councils, the special representa-
tive being A. P. Fleckenstein of
Fargo, who did most of the talking
on their behalf. The various rail-
roads of the state were ably repre-
sented by their general and assistant
general passenger agents attorneys.
It will be remembered last Janu-
ary the commission reduced the ex-
cess baggage rates about one-thlrd,
which was more gratifying, appar-
emily, to the travelling men than to
the railroads, for the latter at once
discontinued the sale of interstate
excess baggage coupon books, which,
in effect restored the old rates to-
within two or three per cent OF form
er figures, the travelling men claim
ing it even raised the rates over the
old tariff in some instances, and it was
upon this issue the hearing yester-
day was held.
The case was ably presented by the
travelling fraternity and the railroad
men practically admitted the abolish
ing of the excess coupon books put
the rates almost back where they
were before the reduction by the COM
mission, claiming the excess rates
had never been high enough. The de-
bate between the two parties to the
issue was lively and interesting, and
it took some adroit questioning on
the part of the commissioners to get
out all the facts and keep the talk
within the question before the house.
Among the other demands OF the
travelling men was one for an inter-
changeable checking and mileage
system and an increase in the free
time allowed before storage charges
accrue, all of which questions were
threshed out fully. The commission
took the matter under advisement.
