TABERNACLE NOTES
By LYNN C. WHITE

Watch this column for weekly
announcements and attend every
meeting possible. 1t is worth your
while.
Prayer meetings were held at the
homes each morning this week with
the exception of Saturday morning.
The town is divided into districts
and meeting held in each district.
Mr.. Laraway will speak to the
women of the city at the Methodist
church next Sunday afternoon at
three o'clock. This is a meeting
which will interest you. One bet
tiers himself by good reading and
listening to great men Don't for
get the time.
Next Saturday evening the mu-
sic will be furnished by the chill
dren's choir. There are people who
think that they do not enjoy music,
but everyone enjoys listening to the
voices of children. Last week they
had more children than they could
get on the platform. That means
that there will be over one hundred
voices in the choir.
Next Friday evening Mr.. Rayburn
gives one OF his greatest lectures
That is the night the Hudson peo-
pie have chartered special train 10
come to River Falls. About five
hundred from Hudson will take
advantage of this opportunity to
hear Mr.. Rayburn. His lecture is
Three Liars and what They said
1t is also limited that one of these
will be there.
Next Sunday afternoon at 2:3C
o'clock Mr.. Rayburn will speak on
Men and Big Business. This is q
meeting that you can not afford tc
miss. Those having heard Mr.
RaYburn say that he is one of the
most interesting speakers ever hold
ing an audience in this city. He
does not appeal to the emotional
side of life as great many speak
ers do, but he speaks by argument
His facts are invincible, his illus
t1a1ions vivid, and his sermons
simple but powerful. Do not fail to
hear his lecture on Big Business
next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 P,
M. This is for men only.
Last Sunday morning the taber'

nackle was filled to it's utmost seat
ing capacity. Then in the evening
the seats did not begin to go around.
The seating capacity is estimated
at about nine hundred and there
were from one thousand to twelve
hundred there. That is not all.
About two hundred came to the
doors and could not get in and had
to leave. Then Monday morning
the task of charging was begun.
1t will probably seat about twelve
hundred or more with the new en-
largement, but even then those de-
string seats will find it necessary to
come early or they will stand.

A meeting of farmers was held in
the Odd Fellows hall Monday after.
noon for a discussion of the New.
port, Mimi, packing plant propo-
sition. Ira M. Chryst, who presid'
ed at the meeting, shifted the dis.
cussion to rehearsal of his views
reg arding the Minnesota state equi.
ty society, and nothing much was
done in regard to the packing plant.
There appears to be sentiment
among the farmers in this vicinity
favoring the Newport plant. The
New Richmond plant was brought
in for a little private comment.
Many appear to view this PROPOSE
ton as a rather hopeless one, basing
their opinion on the report of a
government engineer who states
that there are not sewerage facili-
ties in that city stuff cient for the
proposed plant. The New Rich
mond organization, however, are
planning to go ahead with the plant
and will erect their ice house this
winter. They have also completed
excavating tor the main building.
Mr.. Chrystis suing the Minnesota
A. S. of E. for their alleged state
ment that the Farmers Terminal
Packing Plant company was or
gained by Chryst and his asso.
ciates as stock selling sen enc.

King" Fisher, who had already
earned the title of admiral" by a
daring exploit upon the water, is
again in the calcium" this time
through his willing aid to the po-
lice department. On Friday night,
or early Saturday morning, mys-
terious stranger was noted prowling
about Main street, and he was later
met by an unknown auto and whisk-
ed away, Just as the car rounded
a corner a revolver shot was fired
from it. That is as far as the story
runs, except that Chief Ramberg
called upon King" to assist him
in investigating the affair and that
King" came down armed with an
ancient gat" which could go one
better on the advertisement of a
we'll known make of revolvers which
calls attention to its perfe ct safety
device by saying Hammer the
Hammer" The gun that King
brought with him upon this occa-
sion could have been struck with a
pile. driver while the most cautious
agent would have written full in
surance for anyone standing in
front Of it's muzzle. But King"
probably intended to throw it at
whatever criminal came in range.

If there is anything better than
Mike Steckmeyer hunting stories,
it's more of 'em. Here's the latest,
published in Hudson Star Observer:
Word comes from Drummond
that Mike and Louis Steckmeyer
each got a fine buck to bring home,
Mike killing his at a distance Of
600 yards. He is also credited with
killing a bear that weighed 307
pounds. Louis is credited with
saying that the "dears" in the
Drummond country were in the ma
jority. Charley Reitdorf's latest
camp story, properly vouched for
is that he and Mike while duck
hunting at Twin Lakes, spied nine
ducks huddled together within gun
shot on the surface Of the lake,
and that Charley got twelve of them
in one shot. All of the Reitdorf-
Steckmeyer hunting party will help
in the organization OF the Ouch"
club which meets at Ouch hall the
last of the month.

GERMAN INFLUENCE
 STRONG IN RUSSIA
mo slu!od Io!IsluI sql 10 IslsIu!N to Duma Inside Working of
 Teuton System

London. October 19-A Times corre spcndent lately in Russia contributes an interesting article on the appointment of Aexei Khvostoff as minister of the in- terior and the declaration of martial law at Moscow. He says the new minister is the leader in the struggle against Ger man influence in Russian life, and that his revelation in a speech in the Duma last August of the controlling interest of German money in a great number of the leading Russian banks and munitions producing companies and how German in- fluence, exercised in various ways, slowed down the production of munitions opened the eyes of the Russian people and led to the formation of a strong party in the Duma to fight against this German influ- cree.
 M. Khvostoff, says the correspondent, identified himself particularly with this struggle, but, as he believed that many of the great strikes in Moscow and other provincial cities in recent months at the munitions factories. and anti-German out breaks. although they appeared to be manifestations of indignation by the workmen with German influence, were really fomented by the Germans them selves with the intention of producing un-
 rest and confusion in the interior of Russia which would facilitate the onward march Of the aAustro-Germans across Poland, he proclaimed martial law in Moscow in order to take justice out of the hands of the mob and deal with any proved German treason by the courts of justice.

FIVE YALE BASEBALL
 PLAYERS INELIGIBLE

New Haven, Conn.,, october 1S.-The withdrawal of five members of the Yale baseball team and Harry W. Legore of Legore, Md, the football star, from further participation in intercollegiate athletics. was announced tonight by the Yale University Athletic association.
 The withdrawal was due to infrac- tion of Yale eligibility rules concern ing playing summer baseball.
 The announcement was made in a statement in which was incorporated a letter addressed from the five players admitting they had violated the eligi- bility rule by receiving board while playing with the Quogue Field club nine on Long Island, but added that as soon as they discovered they were breaking the rule they paid for their board and rooms.
 From the time we discovered the provision in the Yale rules, that no man who has received board for play ing summer baseball shall represent Yale on its teams, each of us paid in full for board and lodgings, subsequent- ly furnished by the club" says the let ter. Tn view, however, of the fact that we did although unintentionally and ill-advisedly, violate the rule we here by withdraw from competition in inter collegiate athletics
 The statement adds:
 'It seems but fair to the players singing the letter for the association to express publicly it's regret that be- cause of the carelessness of it's officers and committees, these men have inad- vertent1y violated the rule mentioned.

SELMA

Selma. October 1s.-(Speciall l-Forty eight city prisoners, Selma's white wings" Monday morning commenced the work of cleaning the city in preparation for the opening of the reunion Wednes- day morning. Mayor Leon Clay has an- nounced that every street and alley in the city will be cleaned from end to end, all paper burned and all trash hauled away before the coming of the Veterans. and has asked the citizens to cooperate in the work, refraining from throwing trash and paper in the streets and keeping all rubbish off the sidewalks That the city will be in better condition than ever before Is the statement of Mayor Clay and other city officials. Po- lice Chief Walters announced Monday morning that his department was ready for the crowds, and with the extra men from the various railroad forces, would be in excellent position to handle the pickpockets and thugs which usually flock to a gathering of this sort. The en- tire force of detectives from the South ern and Louisville and Nashville rail- roads will be here for the reunion and will work in co-operataion with the local officers. Sheriff Doherty's deputies will also be on the job.
 Interest is manifest in the announce ment that the Montgomery True Blues. Alabama's crack military organization, will be in Selma for the reunion this week. The True Blues have been in Selma before, and their officers and mem- bers have many friends here.
 The Selma Shrine club composed or members of Abba Temple of Shriners, will meet Tuesday afternoon, and, it is thought, discuss plans for the part they will play in the reunion festivities The Shriners of Selma may take part in the parade Thursday, but this has not been decided.
 The largest negro funeral ever con ducted in Selma was that of Duncan Irby on Sunday afternoon, when cortege over a mile long escorted the body of the well known negro to the cemetery. High trib- utes have been paid to Irby by white citizens of Selma, many of whom were thrown in contact wit hthe negro in a business way.
