John C. Lowe, judge-elect from the
fifth judicial district, was found not
guilty Of statutory charge preferred
against him a few days before elec-
ton, his case having been concluded
before Judge Buttz Of Devils Lake at
Rugby Saturday. The jury was out q
hours. The case went to the jury at
five o'clock Saturday afternoon, the
jury arriving at verdict Sunday
evening.
Mr.. Lowe returned to Minot Mon
day morning and said little concerning
the case, except that it was frame
up and that it terminated as he ex-
pected it would.
The charge against Mr.. Lowe was
preferred by Joy Eddy Newmack of
Great Falls, Mont, who as girl Of
16 resided on claim with her mother
near Van Hook, adjoining the Lowe
farm on the reservation.
When arrested, Lowe stated that
the case was frame-up, but he was
elected, receiving the highest vote
given for any candidate for Judge in
the district.
Lowe was defended by Attys. Tracy
Bangs of Grand Forks, Haroldson of
Lansf6rd, Thorson of Rugby and Nc
Gee & Goss of Minot. The states
case was handled by Atty. General
VIM. LANCER and Asst. States Attor-
ney Nest0s of Minot.
Mr.. Nestos concerning the case said
that the states case was weakened be-
cause of the absence Of young wo-
man who was wanted to give cOrrob-
Grating evidence. She was detained,
however, in Minneapolis on doctors
certificate to the effect that her health
would not permit her to leave the city.
Joy Eddy Newmack took the stand
and told her story, making many dam
aging admissions concerning her own
character, stating she had been mixed
up with many of the male citizens Of
Van Hook, in some instances Offering
herself for hire.
Lowe took the stand and denied
each and every statement made con-
corning himself by the Newmack wo-
man.

SALVATION ARMY
RANKS EXPLAINED

To the young man recently out of
the service, the different ranks of the
salvation Army is an interesting bit
of information. While designated an
army the titles are common to both
army and navy
To become an officer, in the Saliva
ton Army, man or woman, must
enter the training school, where for
ten months he or she is grounded in
the tenements of the army's work
Then they are appointed a probation
ary officer. During their term as pro-
bationary officer, they are required to
take a correspondence course, which
covers about a year. The next pro-
motion is to that of lieutenant. After
holding this rank for at least two
years, they can become a captain. The
next rank thai of ensign can only be
obtained after seven years service as
an officer. Then comes the adjutant
which office can be attained only after
ten years service. The highest field
rank, that of commandant, which is
the reward for at least 10 years of
consecutive and continuous service.
Then comes the promotion to the
staff posi- tions, with staff captain as
the lowest rank. The rank of major,
which is the next step, usually takes
with 1t the office OF an assistant to the
head of a division, province or national
officer. Next in line as the briga-
dier, and in succession follow, Heuten-
ant colonel and colonel
The officer in charge of the work
of the Salvation Army in any coun-
try has the title of commissioner or
commander. Evangeline Booth, in
charge OF the Salvation Army in the
United States has the title of COM
mander.
All field ranks are passed on by the
colonel in charge of the province where
the officers are stationed. All staff
officers are appointed by the interna-
tional body, which has its headquar-
tiers in London, Gen. w. Bramwell
Booth, is general of the army, having
succeeded his father, the founder of
the army.

GADSDEN ST. CHURCH
HAS RED-LETTER DAY

Sunday was a great day at the
Gadsden street church where re-
vival meeting has been in progress for
two weeks Two powerful sermons
were preached by the pastor, Rev. w.
p. Hurt, and two classes of members
were received into the church.
At the morning hour DIR. Hurt
preached from the text: IF a man
die he will live again. The minister
said this is the most important ques
ton that ever fell from human lips,
the question of the ages and the ques-
ton which now glows with the great
est warmth and fervor There is no
subject more fundamental in the
Christian religion or in the human life,
he said Immortality is not only a
matter of revelation, but all things de-
clare it, DR.. Hurt continued. The bible
has only opened up the subject to
the mind of man. It was from the be-
ginning, before Abraham, David and
Moses knowledge of immortality ex-
listed
Immortality of the soul, said DR..
Hurt, is proved by the longing in
mans heart to live again Not one
here and one there, but through all
the past, in all places, all peoples have
had this strong desire for life. This
longing is akin to instinct, which never
misleadS.
Another proof of the immortality Of
the soul is the fact that man cannot
destroy anything. Coal is only changed
by burning into another state, but not
destroyed, Each fading pedal only
makes the next rose redder.
The crucified Son of God. burst the
bands of death and came back to de-
clare, Il am the resurrection and the
life" All this turns man back to Jobs
question and enables him TO answer:
IF a man die, he shall live again.
