port. Conn.
'Tbere are few people in the world, if
any, who have so thoroughly and init
mately written their biography in their
verses as did Fanny Crosby, the blind
singer, to do honor to whom we have
met this afternoon. If one had COM
plete edition of her more than seven
thousand hymns. he could trace her spir-
itual growth from page to page as clear
ly as though she had written her biogra-
ply with her own hand. Indeed, the
revelation of her hymns may be even
more intimate and complete than biog-
raphy would be, since in writing such a
volume one must always be under more
or less selfrestraint.
Though always of devout, religious
nature, many of Fanny Crosby's earlier
verses were as appropriate to the con-
cert hall or the college campus as to the
prayer-meeting. Resale, the Prairie
Flower, was an immense fayorite ffrv
years ago and more, and was sung and
hummed on all occasions where bfithe,
lifting song was desired. There's Music
in the Air was, in my own college days,
prime favorite among the students,
and was sung quite as often as any other
college verse. 1t Fanny Crosby had de-
sired to write the secular songs of the
nation, and had deemed this her highest
privilege. she would doubtless have sue
ceeded in being a great national folk
song writer.
'But she had higher ambition still.
and that was to sing her songs in honor
of her Master, Christ, for the awakening
of religious emotions and for the up
building of Christian character.
There is no more self-revealing hvmn
of hers than the one that has become so
popular throughout the world, and which
has been translated into scores of langu-
ages:
am thine, o Lord have heard Thy Voice.
And it told Thy love to me.
But long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee
This whole hymn tells of the truest as
piration of her life, to know more f her
Master and of communion with Him as

her life's secret is largely laid bare-her
desire for a complete conservation, her
upward look, steadfast hope, and the
subordination of her will to the Masters
and the forward look to the heights of
joy which she would find when she had

NORMAL SCHOOLS
Are They Crippled BY Competition
with Agricultural College and
University?

Pierre, Feb. 23.-Whether the
normal schools OF the state are Grip
pied by competition with the agricul-
tural college and state university
normal courses; whether the state
does not recognize normal diplomas
from private and UNCONVENTIONAL
schools the same as it does from the
state normal schools, are questions
raised in a resolution introduced In
the house by Representative Rine-
hart of Pennington county. The
resolution follows:
Be 1t resolved by the house OF rep
resentatives of the state of South Da-
kota, That the board of regents OF
this state be requested to forthwith
inform this branch OF the legislature:
AS to whether a course in normal
instruction is maintained in the state
university at Vermillion.
AS to whether a course In normal
instruction is maintained In the
South Dakota college of agriculture
and mechanic arts at Brookings.
AS to whether the highest diploma

schools at Springfield. Aberdeen or

ployment as a teacher in an accredit-
ed or four-year high school in this
state.

LINGERING ILLNESS.

w. w. Rowland died at the family
home in the southeast portion of the
city at $50 o'clock this morning
and dropsy. Deceased came to Lake
county with his family about ten
years ago from Iowa, engaging in the
farming business. Later he retired
from the farm and about five years
ago bought the Madison creamery
business which had been developed
into a profitable business enterprise
by its former owner. He has been
engaged in the creamery business
since that time successfully, and also
was connected with the Madison Mar
BILE Works.
About two years ago, his health
commenced failing, and a year ago
this winter with his wife and daugh-
ter, Miss Rose, he spent in Florida in
hope of betterment, but apparently
received little relief. Returning from
Florida he again took up his bust
ness, but during last summe he was
i'll more or less of the time and in the
fall took to his bed and gradually
failed to the end.

of the establishment taking rank

SENATOR uRDAHI
Estimate of His Usefulness BY a
Pierre Correspondent.

Aberdeen American: Hans Urdahl
has a lot of political enemies in the
senate. but for no other eason than
that the senator is a fighter. He is
an honest fighter for the people.
lie comes from a family of public
men. His ancestors for & e were in
public life in Norway, from which
country the young urdahl came when
20 years OF age. He entered the
University of North Dakota, where
he received his b. A. degree in 1895.
He also studied law at Boise, Idaho,
and settled in Madison, Lake county,
in 1900.
In 1908 he was elected states at
torney of his county and served four
ears. Then he was elected to the
house of representatives in 1913 and
to the senate for the present session
of 1915.
His impress will be stamped upon
the laws OF the state for he is chair
man of the committee on elections,
in which position he is actively en-
gagged in drafting a primary law to
replace the Richards law. He is a
members of six other strong commit
tees and consequently a busy man.
AS a member of the house in the
last session he was responsible for
the investigation OF public printing
which resulted in the passage of a
new law governing the purchase of
printing and it has already saved the
state something ike 100000 in the
last two years. My figures for this
saving are taken from Gov. Byrne's
message.
Senator Urdahl probably spends
more time than any other senator
looking over all the bills before the
senate for the purpose of finding
weaknesses in them. This, however.
is only part of his program of look
ing after the interests of the people
pure and simple" as he puts 1t. Il

absolutely free" he said to me and
his record thus far proves it.
The senator is quite a student of
national affairs as well as Of state
affairs, and he has studied in Europe
and investigated conditions abroad.
He is, indeed, a well qualified states
man.

MADISON MERCHANTS
CONTEMPLATE AN ORGANIZA.
TION-MEETING HELD LAST
NIGHT AND PLANS MADE

The merchants of Madison last
night held a meeting and were ad-
dressed by H. B. Watkins, secretary
of the Aberdeen Merchants associa-
ton. Mr.. Watkins has organized a
great many such organizations over
the country and his work has been
so successful that it was commented
upon last fall by the Saturday Even
ing Post. The idea of these %associa-
tons is to spur the merchants on to
making an extra effort for the benefit
of their community, to protect them
selves against the depredations of
unreliable people and thereby lower
their overhead costs of doing bust
ness SO that their bonaide customers
may thereby profit. The master
minds of the business world have at
least realized that the success of the
United States depends upon the
farmer and that he must be accorded
due attention. 1t is the plan of the
merchants of Madison to bind them
selves together and work for the
farming interests in this community
and as far as possible, by the con-
ScTNdllOu Vi sup tue NdII-
Gus leaks of their respective estab-
lishments and thereby lessen the cost
of merchandise. Under the plan of
organization explained by Mr.. Wat
kins this has been done in a great
many towns and cities and works out
in fine shape, both for the merchants
and the buying public. 1t entirely
eliminates the old crude method that
some merchants had in times gone by
of getting together and boosting
prices as in this new proposed organ
ization the question or mention OF
prices is strictly forbidden. This
morning, upon interviewing several
merchants they were found TO be
very enthusiastic over the matter
and feel that they have at last hit
upon a plan that will be of inesti-
mable benefit to this community and
they are sure that they will receive
the commentator of the public for
their efforts toward a bigger and bet
ter Madison.

War SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

Chief interest in the war centers in
the operation of the German subma-
rines in the waters around the Brit
ish isles. The steamer Downshire
has been blown up in the irish sea,
while the American steamer Evelyn,
with a cargo of cotton from New
for Bremen, has been sunk by a mine
near Dorkum island in the North
sea. From Berlin comes the report
of the sinking of a British transport
with troops and an accompanying
steamer" but the scene of this incl
dent is not given.
Regarding the destruction of the
Evelyn, the first American vessel to
be sunk since the outbreak of the
war, the authorities at Washington
have ordered a full inquiry.
The report of the sinking of the
British transport was sent out on the
authority of a German news agency,
but neither Berlin nor London has
made n official announcement con-
corning the report.
The latest official announcement
from Paris regarding the operations
in the west describes considerable
progress made by the allies in the
Champagne district and the repulse
of the Germans at various points
along the southern end Of the line.
In the eastern war zone. Russia
claims TO have put a check on the
Germans advance by the aid of the
strong reinforcements. There is lit
tie change to be recorded in Galicia,
the Carpathians or in Bukowina.
The Turkish grand vizier. Prince
Said Hahn. declared, during an in
terview. to have joined with Great
Britain, France and Russia would
have been harmful to the interests
of the country, that the powers of
the triple entente had been actuated
by hypocrisy in dealing with Turkey
and that the Turkish people. desir-
ing an opportunity to work out their
destiny, became participants in the
war. He denounced the assertion
that Turkey is bound to pass under
the sway of Germany as absurd.
A hostile aeroplane is reported to
have dropped bombs near Braintree
Colchester, Marks Toy and Cogge-
shall, English towns virtually within
fifty miles of London.
Fishing boats flying the Italian
flag have been fired upon by Austrian
torpedo boats off Antivari, Monte.
negro, according to the crew OF one
of the boats, which has arrived al
Bari, Italy. Austrian aeroplanes, the
fishermen added, attempted to droT
bombs on them and one of the Italian
vessels was badly damaged.
A free fight broke up a meeting in
Rome, called by the parties favorable
to Italian intervention in the war
and those against it, at which
speeches were to have been made
setting out the respective views. Many
persons were wounded.
The mayor and the chamber oil
commerce of Vienna, it is reported
have insisted to the Austrian prime
minister that Vienna be given sufh'
cient grain and -four to meet the
needs of the population. Some indig'
nation is said to prevail over Hun
gary's alleged reluctance TO share
with Austria her surplus of grain.
