REVIVAL RESULTS.
Thirty.6ye Additions In one
Day--.Fifty-6ye Since The
Meeting Began.

Seven hundred people crowded ev.
cry inch Of space in the Chris ian
church Sunday night. The spirit of
revival is sweeping through the
church and the community. There
were four great services during the
day at each of which additions were
made to the church. 1t began when
three men of the big mems class
made confessions of faith, followed
by four young men, and then by a
large number of young people. At
the morning hour the great audito-
rum, except the balcony, was filled.
chairs being used in the aisles. A
fine meeting was held in Highland
Chapel in the afternoon at which
there was one addition. At night
every floor was filled, with an audi
ence that numbered 700 or 800.
There were five additions at this
service, making 35 for the day and
55 since the meeting began one week
ago. The interest is intense and it is
expected that many more will come
into the church this week. Pastor.
evangelist Jessup preached two very
forcefu sermons on "A Family Re-
ligion,' and The sphere of the
church in modern life." 1t was a
masterful presentation of the claims
of the church and stirred the consci.
ences of all who are not aligned with
the church. Whatever the imme d.
ate effect of the sermon on those
who heard, it is certain that they
will regard the church in more fav.
orable light than heretofore, and be
more regardful of its claims. The
pastor was hoarse at the evening
service from much speaking, but
otherwise has stood The strain of the
first week splendidly. He speaks
with all his force. enthusiasm and
earnestness. In moments of great
earnestness he speaks rapidly, and
the audience follows him as he moves
about the pulpit, and SON etimos
mounts the front seat.

as and Religion" Mr.. Harding s

of members OF the race In the bricklay-

indicated by the fact that the majOri.

the work must be done by white men

OPEN SEASON ON SWEDES
 BECAUSE HE ATE SHAMROCKS

The proceedings of the regular meeting of the board of strategy which nightly meets at the emporium of Ramps Peterson were varied the other evening by the recital ot a humorous incident which bad the effect of leaving the struggling millions in the great world war without guiding hand for the time being.
 Apropos of nothing in particular, B. Yeager who has been in the city for several days past, took advantage of a Hull in the profound discussion of army and naval tao ties and world politics to relate an occur renee of few years ago in the city ot Juneau. MT, Yeager, a few days prior to St Patrcks day, received from friend who was visiting in Ireland a box of genu- inc shamrocks With considerable pride he showed them to several of his friends, and they excited a great deal of interest. A ll-known Juneau saloonkeeper of Irish antecedents, hearing about the shamrocks, rersuaded Mir Yeager to let him have the emblems of Irish nationality for display in his saloon on St. Patrick's day. Placed ln an ornate cut glass dish, filled with water to keep them fresh, the shamrocks were the subject of much admiring comment cn the feast day of Ireland's patron saint, and the thrifty Irish saloonkeeper was doing a rushing business among his compatrlots in consequence
 Along toward evening a Scandinavian who had imhibed too deeply happened to espy the shamrocks, and thinking they were Swedish sweet clover, placed there to tickle the pelates of the patrons of the bar, he Gevoured the whole bunch of shamrocks. Immediately there was pandemonium. The house was filled with lrishmen, who imme- diately commenced to maui the uncon- sciously offending Swede. He was beaten up and thrown cut of the place bodily But this did not appease the wrath of the Hi bernians, and they immediately sailed forth in search of more Swedes to conquer, and life was made miserable for the remainder of the night for any unfortunate Swedish gentleman who happened to cross their path It was a wild night, according to Mir Yeager when the Irish declared open sea son on Swedes in Juneau.

PREPARING FOR
 FOURTH OF JULY

A citizens meeting was held last Sunday afternoon in the hall of the Arctic Brother hood. at which 1t was decided to com mence preparations immediately for the celebration of Independence day in ldltarod in 8 manner appropriate to the demands ot the district. On account of the beautiful weather and the inclination of the people generally to enjoy the opportunity tor out door life there was but a small attendance, but the business men of the city were well represented and the sentiment expressed was unanimously in favor of the celebra- ton. In general way the plans for the observation of the holiday were discussed and three committees were appointed to work out the details.
 The meeting was called to order shortly after D. m by Mayor F. M, Stanton, who stated the object of he gathering and called for nominations for chairman, On motlon Mir Stanton was unanimously ly elected to pre- side, and William Ansley was by the same procedure selected as secretary.
 A motion was made and seconded that the citizens of lditarod give grand pubic cele- bration in honor of Independence day and it was carried unanimously. After discus sion of various plans the meeting proceeded to select committees, and the following were named:
 Financial Committee Ramps Peterson, Percy G. Charles and Cyril P. Wood
 Program Committee-E. M. Stanton, J. H. Smith and c. A. Derry.
 Sports Committee R. c, Button, Earl Byers and Claud Baker
 It was understood that these committees would be authorized to add to their mum bers, and it IS likely that when the plans ot the celebration are more definitely agreed on the committees will be considerably aug mented
 The sentiment of the meeting seemed to favor the following of the usual plans for such celebrations, which would include pa triotic exercises, with an oratlOn by some prominent citizen (probably by Judge Bun nell who will be here at that tune, II hls services can be obtained athletic sports of various kinds, including such stunts as greased pole climbing, mule races blueberry pie-eating contests for the youngsters etc, all of which may be designated as athletic contests; river sports, including sWlmmlng contests, diving contests canoe races, log rolling gasboat races etc, which Will be one of the main features of the celebration, all to conclude with grand ball Tn the evening"
 The tentative plans for the celebration seem to meet with general approval, and 1t is likely that the finance committee will soon interview the citizens and ascertain the extent of the funds that will be avail able, so that the program committee can be prepared to outline the general plan of the celebration.
 Everything points to the certainty that Fourth of July in Iditarod this year will be an occasion long to be remembered.
