STRANGE ACTING MAN
VISITS THE SCHOOLS s

A stranger, neatly dressed, visited
the rooms Of the Washington grade
school this morning. His actions be-
ing queer, a number Of the teach
ers attempted to speak to him, asking
what he wanted. The visitor, how
ever, was not in very talkative
mood and Immediately took flight.
This stunt of course frightened the
schoolma' ans for a short time and
when he came back again he gave
them another scare. He made the high
school a visit this afternoon and in
spected several Of the rooms but did
no harm other than to frighten the
teachers and some of the girls. The
court house officials were also visited
by him this afternoon
= The man is said to have come from
Virginia to Alvarado where he was
to have started blacksmith shop
with partner. He is said to have
worried about an invention of some
kind on a torpedo boat and was UNI
able to eat or sleep. He is under the
care Of local doctors, who are now
treating him.
Up to this time he has not been ex-
iainined or taken into custody.

MI SLOT MACHINES
NOT GAMBLING DEVICES.

The city authorities have ordered
all slot machines removed from places
of business in compliance with the
in regard 10 gambling de-
vices. 80 1lSS now develops that there
are slot machines and slot machines,
some of these machines being merely
mute salesmen ofscertain goods, with
no chance Or gambling in connection
with their operation. A machine
known as the 20. K Gum Vender" in
stalled in several Of the stores here is
held to be in the latter class. This
machine, as we understand it, will at
all times vend nickle's worth Of
gum for every nickle placed in the
slot, and will in addition pay as pre-
nliunl whatever the machine shows at
the time before the coin is dropped.
The buyer knows exactly what he will
get for his money before dropping it
in the slot, hence the element Of
chance is absent. There may be a
cIeverly designed inducement to drop
more nickles into the slot that may
prove to be too enticing to children,
but this is not considered gambling
under the law. In reply to an inquiry
by the city attorney Of Moorhead the
attorney generals office has given an
opinion to the effect that this partic-
ular machine is not a gambling de-
vice. It is necessary, therefore, to
distinguish between slot machines
those which are merely mute sales
men and those where there is an ele-
ment Of chance or uncertainty in their
operation. It may not be easy always
to draw the line between the two
kinds.

WARREN N. {.
CHURCH JUBILEE.
Old Mortgage is Burned Amidst
Prayerful Rejoicings-The Church
is in Flourishing Condition Spir-
itually and Financially.

Last Saturday evening was an
event long to be remembered by the
members of the First NJ. E. church Of
Warren, and the records thereof will
be cherished among the archives of
the institution.
Pastor Bartholow and wife had in
vited the members of the church
Board of Stewards and Trustees and
their families to reception, it being
the second quarterly conference of
the year. Rev. Parish, our District
Superintendent, was present and call
ed the assembly to order at eight
o'clock. After brief but concise
resumi of the work of the quarter by
the Superintendent, the Secretary an
nounced that the debt which had been
in existence in some form or other
since the church was built thirty-two
years ago, had been cancelled, that
the pastors salary and all expenses
up to date had been paid and enough
promised to pay the salary to the end
Of the present church year, October
list. Three times the ceilings rang
with the echo Of the rousing cheers
sent up by the jubilant assembly.
We then gathered around the fire
where Mr.. Wood gave brief history
of the financial doings Of the church,
and~th stepping into the center Of
the circle consigned the old mortgage
to the flames. The crackle of the
burning paper was soon drowned by
full chorus of voices singing fervent-
.ly praise God from Whom all Bless
ing Flow" This was followed by a
magnificent prayer Of Thanksgiving
by Rev. Parish.
A short program of music and re-
citations was rendered by the young
people and the crowd broke up into
groups, after the manner of such ga
therings, to be served shortly to a
bounteous fepast prepared by our
PASTORS good wife and now we feel
that we all know why our Rev Cen
tfenan boasts of his ~avoirdupois.
How could It be otherwise?
After doing ample justice to the
banquet the happy participants de-
parted to their several abodes with
songs in their hearts, feeling that it
had been good to be there.
r. The church Board wishes to thank
al those who so kindly assisted in
making this event possible and hopes
to see the faces of all their friends at
each service of the church.

On Friday afternoon G. M. Cesan-
der. assistant state superintendent of
public instruction gave a very in
structive address on Education to the
teachers and school officers after
which he conducted a round table for
the benefit of the school officers.
G. F. Peterson. president of the
Boxville Farmers Club, made neat
little speech in which he told about
the benefits Of farmers clubs. A
personal benefit that the club had
been to him, he said, was that it has
taught him to express his thoughts in
public. The club has brought the
neighbors in closer touch with one an
other and has promoted friendliness
and kindly, neighborly spirit that
has done much to make farm life
more pleasant. The women and the
children have been specially benefited
by the social gatherings. Much bet
ter programs can be presented now
than when the club started about
year ago. The material benefits
have also been many. At the meet
ings farmers have a chance to talk
over many things about the farming
b. siness, about cooperation, school
airairs etc. The consolidated scho'i
in his district is largely the result Of
the work Of the Farmers Club.
A special session for the teachers
was held at the High School ROOM
DR.. F. a Bake gave very practical
talk on "Oral Hygiene showing its
Importance and using casts, illustra-
tions and living models for demon

A Mornings Mail at the Ford.

Each succeeding morning mail is
breaking records these days in the
Ford Motor Company. Amazing fig
ures, even for the Ford, are becom-
ing positively incredible figures. For
example, here is a portion Of one
mornings mail: Hood & Snyder of
Jewell, Iowa, ask that q train-load Of
Fords be shipped as soon as possible;
the Repass Auto Company of Water
loo, Iowa, want a train-load Of Fords
at once; the Brownell Auto Co.. Bir-
mingham, Ala, ask immediate ship
ment Of train-load Of Runabout cars;
the Herring Motor Company of Des
Moines, Iowa, insist that 1000 Fords
be shipped Immediately; William
Warnock & Company of Sioux City,
Iowa, write for 1900, "or more if we
can have them; the Becker Auto
Company of Grand Rapids, Mich,
asks for modest 700 cars mmedi-
ately.
With such mail, day after day, as
this, it is small wonder that the 300,-
600 car production has become well
established certainty.

ENGLAND UNIONS MAY BUCK
DERBY RECRUITING PLAN
London, Eng., Nov. 12.-British
trade unions will convene within the
next two weeks to decide on their
course of action relative to the Lord
Derby recruiting plan.
Lord Derby announced yesterday
that the government would take steps
to compel enlistment if the young
men of the nation do not enlist.
kilograms have been flashed from
the London trades union headquar-
tiers to every city and village in the
kingdom. Government officials are
anxiously watching the latest moves.
Two months ago the Railway Ser
wants union, with a membership of
100000 men, officially served no
tice on the. government that if steps
were taken toward CONSUMPTION the
labor movement would take the
reigns of government into it's own
hands. Officials appeared to take as
a joke this unprecedented action. To-
day it is being seriously discussed.

KEEPER LARKIN'S TESTIMONY
HITS "cHIcKEN" JOE
Joliet, ILL.,, Nov. 12.-The most
damaging evidence yet offered
against Chicken" Joe Campbell,
charged with the murder of Mrs.
Odette Allen, was given yesterday by
Keeper James Larkin. who was the
only prison employe on the third floor
of the warden's house on the morn
ing of June 20 between the time the
conVicts were released from their
cells and the time the fire was discoV-
cred in Mrs. Aliens bedroom.
According to Larkin, the negro had
about fifteen minutes in which to
commit the crime, saturate the bed
with alcohol and set fire to it. Lar
kin's testimony was weakened con-
siderably by his manner in giving it,
He shifted uneasily or answered an
grily when cross-examined by Atty
Barnett, who found several loopholes
in the testimony.
