A lively week indeed marked the
close of the conference year at Cen.
tennial Methodist Episcopal church,
10Th and Woodland avenue. The An
nual Bazaar consisting of three nights
entertainment, proved delightful af-
fair and a profitable one as well, the
ladies clearing $6S,62. The reception
to the pastor, Rev. Richard Davis and
his wife, may truthfully be character
lied as overwhelming. At least 500
persons crowded the seating capacity
of the Auditorium to the extent that
additional chairs had to be brought
in. A splendid program was rendered
and the dainties of the season were
served. The church was beautifully
decorated. The color scheme was
pink and white. DR.. Davis closed six
years of successful service and these
500 guests, consisting of members and
friends from practically every denom-
ination in this city, were out, not to
bid him goodby, but to bid him, if pos
sible, to return. Just 742 additions
have been made to the membership
during his pastorate, bringing the
present membership up to $50. In
the year just closed 1853 persons joined
the church. and without any attempt
at rally $3,7OO was raised. The
trustees are now planning an Ami
versary for the latter part of April, to
celebrate the 94th year of the organi.
zation of the church in Kansas City
in connection with which the first
big rally in two years will be carried
out. The Ladies' Aid Society, COM
posed of some of the most talented
ladies of Centennial's membership,
was sponsor for the brilliant fetes
which marked the close of the confer
ence year. Rev. Davis and wife left
for Fulton Tuesday morning, to attend
the annual conference. Two features
full of touching sentiment in connec-
tion with Monday nights reception,
was the presentation of flowers to
Rev. Davis by five small Sunday
School children, each of whom recited
appropriate verses, and the presenta-
ton of $40 by the Ladies' Aid Socie
ties to Rev. A. ]. Williams of Clarks
Chapel Mission, 18th and Madison
avenue.

MASONIC.

If in presenting such matters as eX-
ira assessments and other grand taxes
to the lodges the masters would keep
in mind the fact that they themselves
are members of the body which set
the requirements, there would be less
chance for misunderstanding. AS a
rule the master is responsible for a
grumbling, discontented craft. If he
puts on long face whenever he
speaks of grand lodge or grand Off
GERS, the members will do likewise;
but If he wisely demonstrates that
fine devotion which he owes, being a
member of the grand lodge as well as
the subordinate, he will have no trou-
BILE in his function as a connecting
link between the two.
AS a rule Masons are very stingy
concerning their charities and benev-
olences, though they talk more about
them than anyone else. 1t is also true
that in every community the Masonic
lodge always contains the most pros
porous and substantial citizens, able
to make the lodge shine out in all its
glory of good works. But they don't
do 1t. Usually it is the fault of the
leaders who all fall into the rut OF
narrowness and short-sightedness. II
Masonry. means anything, it means
breadth, liberality. generosity and
wide beneyolence.

in human lives of the storm which
swept over this city and vicinity.
At Seabright, N. j., a fashionable

been wrecked or are under water.
Several hotels and many fine resi-
dences were among those undermined

homeless.
The damage done to property is es-
timated at 100000 most of it borne
by Seabright and other points along
the northern section of the New Jer-
sey coast. Most of the property
losses are due to bulkheads giving
way under the onslaught of waves
dashed into fury by a gale which at

IN NORTH Dakota
News Of the Week From Vari-
Gus Parts Of the State.
SUSTA|NS LINE COMPANIES
State Railway Commission Declare.
Competitive Measures of Two
Grain Concerns Just.

The competitive methods employ
ed by the Occident Elevator company
and the Powers Elevator company,
both of Minneapolis, in buying grain
at Eldridge, in this state, are declared
fair by the state railway commission,
in a decision announced concerning
recent complaints made by the Farm
ers' Elevator company, an independ-
ent concern Of Eldridge.
The commission holds that prices at
Eldridge are not governed by the Min
neapolis price, but that the quota
lions OF a milling company at James
town are the controlling factor, that
defense being raised by the compa-
MES at the three-day hearing recently
held in jamestown.
Charges that the line companies an
ployed unfair competition and dis
criminatory measures to fight the in
dependent concern were made by the
Farmers company. Higher gradings
and higher prices, it was said, were
offers put forth to farmers to sell
grain to the line companies in prefer
ence to making sales to independent
concerns.
The farmers maintained that the
Eldridge price was also above that
offered by the same companies at
other points in the state similarly
located.
The defense Of the companies that
the milling company at jamestown
quoted higher than the usual figure
was supported by evidence and the
Minneapolis concerns maintained that
the only way they could get any bust
ness was to compete with the James
town price.
This is the first decision that has
been made on the question of dis
elimination under the states new
law and it will have important bear
ing on the question in the future.

ted of Murder Charge.

E. F. Hill, the Antelope postmaster
on trial at Dickinson for murder of
G. c.. Gordon, was acquitted after the
jury had been out six hours. The
jurors were almost unanimous for
acquittal on the first ballot.
The state had been unable to con-
meet the defendant in any way with
the revolver that killed Gordon on
Nov. 81 at R%ichardton. Neither side
attempted to prove the ownership of
the revolver. What testimony there
was tended to establish that it was
the property of the dead man, who
was shot while in a law office with

Calumet, Mich, Dec. 30.-Two out
of a score or more witnesses testified
before a ~coroner's jury that the man

quiry would be attempted.
The unions lawyer did not COM
ment on the fact that the president
and half dozen members of the Wom-
ans auxiliary OF the federation swore
that they saw no insignia on the man.
In the opinion OF Anthony Lucas,
prosecuting attorney of Houghton
county, who conducted the eXamina-
ton of witnesses. it was established
fairly well that an cXcitable member
of the audience raised the cry, that
there was no actual fire in the hall
and that the doors were open and the

"Mr. Meyer told me in Chicago that
he was thoroughly convinced in his
own mind that the MAJ at the head

James MacNaughton," MI. Hilton
said.
Let me repeat that any charge
made by Mr.. Meyer connecting me
in any way with the event at Hough-
ton is maliciously false" said Mr..
MacNaughton. Il was in Calumet all
evening. I called on a friend and
then accomplished him across the
