Three Blind Men.

During the past week DEBORAH has
been visited by a number of blind
men, begging on the streets. Monday
morning three of them were on diff
ferent corners. One of them kept
an old accordion going from early
morning until late at night, and one
tried his luck at singing to attract
the nickels and dimes his way, while
the third man simply trusted to luck,
and sat on the curbing holding out
his little tin cup. AS usual each one
received donations from the charita-
bly, inclined.

A GREAT PLAY.
The Calling of Dan Matthews, Com
ing to the Grand Next Wednes-
day Night.

The spirit CT THE Shepherd of
The Hills" is felt all through THE
Calling of Dan Matthews" Harold
Bell Wright's last great story to be
placed before the public in playing
form. There were $4,000 copies of
this story sold before the book left
book has found it's way into every
home that contains reader of the
popular fiction Of to-day Everyone
reads Mr.. Wright's novels, and ev-
eryone who reads the novels wants
to and does see them when they are
put into acting form and presented
at the theater.
All of the stories written by this
gifted author make good plays, with
plenty of action, stirring scenes and
climaxes, and always have that
strain of genuine heart interest that
keeps the audience seated until the
fall of the last curtain. In "The Cal
ling of Dan Matthews there is no
effort, no flourish, no step aside from
the straight hard path of actuality,
and yet the spectator, when he comes
to know the characters named, rec
ognizes in the plot a skillfully map
ped battlefield Of human souls, re-
lieved it is true by plenty of rich
humor, but brooded over in the
strongest scenes by the mystery of
spirit, strength and life's never
ending tragedy.
The play itself is founded on facts,
plain hard lines drawn from life,
but art befriends such trust, such
sincerity, and compels us in the long
run to admit that truth is stronger
than fiction, and after witnessing
the dramatization of THE Calling Of
Dan Matthew'S as dramatized by
Mr.. Wright himself and Fishery w.
Reynolds, we are compelled to ad-
nit that it is a great, big strong play
of today and one we'll worth seeing.
The Calling OF Dan Matthews"
will be the Offering at the Grand on
Wednesday night, Oct. IA, 1914,

age Of 40. 'GsSs
She leaves two sons, ages al2 and 4.
The body will be cremated..
Mrs. Herron's death ended an "af-
hntty" story which was the talk of
the country over decade ago, when
Heron was deposed from university
professorship and Congregational min
istry, and Stunned by friends who
furiously. attacked Heron when he
put away his first wife and then we'd
ded in an unconventional way, young
his affections.
Public sentiment drove Heron to
seek home for himself and his new
family in Italy.
The peculiar case had its inception
In the nineties. at Burlington. Iowa.
where Heron was pastor Of the Con-
gregational church.
He was an eloquent socialist, with
advanced ideas on marriage.
He and Miss Rand, a member of his
church. discovered the "ideal' COM
panionship. Miss Rand's mother, veal
thy widow, liked Heron, and estab-
lished chair Of Christian socialism
for him in the Iowa college, Grinnell,
and he was made a professor. Then
came the trip to Europe with the
Rand's. the divorce of the first wife,
followed by scandal which was wl1is-
pered in varied ramlfications.

After a lengthy consideration of the
possible effect on North Dakota of
the new interstate express rates. the
state railroad commission yesterday
afternoon, took the case under advise
ment.
During the afternoon session, the
difference between the Fargo and
Grand Forks rates again was given
considerable attention. F. o. Gibbs,
traffic commissioner of the Fargo
club, told the commission that the
best plan undoubtedly would be to
try the interstate rates as intrastate
tariffs.
This is the same proposition the
Grand Forks club contended for, and.
yesterday afternoon. Traffic Commits
sioner ]. r. Bremner gave concrete
examples to prove that it was the
best thing for the state at large.
Several other plans were proposed.
One called for the removal Of Fargo
from the present sub.block to the
next sub block west, thus putting It
in the same relative position a. Grand
Forks. The express companies
strenouAly objected to such plan.

johannesburg, Jan. 15.-Although
the struggle between the employers
and trade ,inionists in South Africa
continued doggedly. there are indica-
tions that the strikers are losing
ground.
Secretary Balm of the Federation of
Trade who. with 800 followers were
besieged by the police in the Trades
hall, sent out an emissary requesting
an interview with General Louis
Botha. prime minister Of the union Of
South Africa.
The government regarded this as
an offer of surrender, and replied
merely that the patrol officer of the
region had orders to arrest every one

would be used If the occupants Of the
hall failed to surrender.
Balm and his followers then sur
rendered Internationally to the police
Balm and ten other leaders are lodged
in Jail.
Field Gun Is Argument.
A seven pound field gun trained on
the Trades hall proved an irresistible
argument to Balm and his companions.
The government authorities gave them
quarter Of an hour In which to yield,
informing them that If they did not
do SO, they would be buried beneath
the ruins Of their fortress. After a
brief conference, they decided to sur
render.
