BURNED IN DRUG
EXPLOSION WEDNESDAY

Yesterday noon while compounding
a prescription T. l.. Larson of the Ru-
dolf Pharmacy was badly burned by an
explosion which was caused by the
drugs he was using. His face and
eyes suffered most. He is confined to
the house today and may not be out for
several days. The drugs he was using
were not supposed to be of particu-
larly dangerous nature and therefore
Mr.. Larson was not using as much pre-
caution as he might otherwise have
DONE His friends were greatly alarm
ed at first for the safety of his eye
sight but all danger has passed at this

:*:QU0 VADlS" COMING
TO REX ON MONDAY

"Quo Vadis," that marvellous photo
drama spectacle that has made the
name Of the producer, Mr.. George
kleine, already famous on this cont
nent, and whicl has thrilled vast audi-
ences week after week in New York,
Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia and
various other cities, is announced at
the Rex Monday, March 30th for an
engagement Of one day with matinees
every day. That a rare treat is in
stare for local amusement seekers is q
foregous conclusion as such wonderful
patronage and praise that has been be-
slowed upon this attraction cannot be
without merit.
Many ministers and priests have
been noticeable in the audiences par
ttcularly in New York and Chicago,
and all .r have given the en-.
Stertatnment their unqualified approval
and endorsement. Some of the pic
lures are more than inspiring and i'm
bue the spectator with an unbounded
reverance for things that are sacred
and spiritual. According to all ac-
counts, one of the most striking figures
among the great list of actors is the
character Pete. 1t would be hard to
find another player who SO perfectly
realizes the general conception Of this
noble man. The features of the actor
are perfect for the part and could not
have been better, had they been chis-
elled out Of marble or painted spec
tally for the production. His acting is
at all times in keeping with the beauty
of the character and many critics have
the picture where he is
preaching to the Christians in the cave
the most artistic and inspiring of the
whole wonderful group. And certainly
no scene ever pictured or portrayed
upon the stage is more impressive or
carries stronger weight for good than
that incident where the figure of
Christ appears to Peter and commands
him to return to Rome. 1t is splen-
did specimen of dissolving photo
graphy and only one Of remarkable
group. In fact, it is said, there are so
many great scenes in this glorious
photo drama production Of "Quo
Vadis" it is difficult to pick out any one
to praise more than the other

HIGH INTEREST RATES.

The Fargo Forum deplores the high
rate of interest and thinks II per cent
on real estate altogether too high. The
Forum must have some rather haZy in
formation as to interest rates in this
state. Few banks are charging as high
rate as IL per cent and there is an
unlimited supply Of money available
for real estate loans and from to 8
per cent which seems to be the high
est rate except in cases where perhaps
the security is very poor as on second
mortgages.
This is a matter that ought not to
be handled carelessly as many pros
pective settlers will consider interest
rates with other matter before coming
to the state. Interest rates here are
not alarming excepting in few iso-
late cases. Money is being secured in
Valley City on city property at as low
a rate as per cent and on farm lands
at about the same rate. In the west
ern part of the state where it is less
developed the rate is somewhat high
er perhaps, but that is caused largely
by the loan agents who exact a heavy
commission. Laws limiting the inter-
est rate are needed and should be en-
acted but in urging the law it will be
well to keep within the confines OF con-
ditions as they exist, lest the emigra-
ton movement receive a setback.

8 Cooperation of Christian
Bodies" in Valley City
Marked by Good Results
in Spiritual Interest.
EVANGELIST LEAVES TODAY

The Union Evangeltstic Meetings
which have been running for three
weeks in our city came to a close last
night. Notwithstanding the incls-
ment weather a good crowd was pres
ent to hear and bid the workers good.
bye. Or. Wright spoke Last might on
the two aspects of the Christian life,
the individual and the social. He
urged that all the, Christians Of the
city strive to preserve the spir.. of
cooperation begun in these meetings,
and tuge:ner seek to render the larg-
er service that here ds elsewhere is
needed. At the close of the sermon
both Mr.. Wright and Mr.. Rines the
singer expressed their appreciation of
the kindly treatment and assistance
they had received from the people,
Mr.. Rines deplored the fact that he
had been almost completely incapa-
citated since coming here, because of
the grippe, thus practically prevent
ing him from being of much service.
Among other things, Mr. Wright stat
ed that Of all the union meetings he
had ever been in, and he has assisted
in many, never has he before been
where there was not to be found the
least indication that one minister or
people was trying to selfishly appro-
pirate the benefits of the work. He
stated that in no instance in this
meetings had he found anything that
would even provoke a suspicion, that
the men in and behind it had any OBJ
ject in mind but the building up of the
Kingdom of the Master in Valley City.
While the number who have defin-
itely set out upon the Christian life
are not as numerous as had been hop
ed, still these meetings have made for
good. 1t is never wise to count con-
verts, and gauge success in spiritual
and moral effort this way. Mans bus
mess is to SOW, and good sowing has
been done with much promise of a
worthy harvest. Not the least benefit
is to be found in the general interest
that is generated in good things and
unselfish spirit shown by the workers.
Judged by this standard the Union
meetings have accomplished what has
never before been done in Valley City.
They have shown to the churches
and to the public that Christian bod
les can and ought to cooperate, and
there are some reasons to believe that
the future will see larger co-opera-
ton in the way of social service, and
consequently better and more indl-
vidual Christions.
All the expense involved in the en-
terprise was generously provided by
the congregations, and the commntee
in charge last night again expressed
their appreciation Of the response that
has been made to their appeal.
Mr.. Wright left this morning on the
early 500 train for his home in Frank
lin. Indiana. Mr.. Rines and his wife
departed for Wahpeton this afternoon.
