COURT AT ST. PETER
Justice Shop VIII Be Put In oper-
alton Next Week

st. Peter, October Two d.
vorce cases, three breach of promise
suits and five cases for the grand
jury will be the interesting features
of the fall term of court, which will
be convened by Judge I. NJ. Olsen
of New Ulm next week. There ara
twenty seven cases on the civil
calendar and only one case on the
criminal calendar, making the term
an unusually short one, contrary to
predictions, says Clerk of Court
William Mellgren. 4
1t is understood that the grand
jury will sit on three liquor cases,
presented by Sheriff Chas Norman
as a result of his summer activities.
There is also a second. degree grand
larceny case for consideration. The
only case upon which an indictment
has been returned is that of the
state VS.. Christ Volk, which was
continued from the last term of
court.
+ The case of Albert Rutjes, charged
with the illicit manufacture of liquor
at North Mankato, will be among
the first to be disposed of by the
grand jury. Andrew Guinde, charged
with violation of the liquor laws
during a smashup on the Kasota
road early in the summer, is anoth-
er case. James Martinus, a the Hawa-
iian who was arrested several
months ago on a charge of grand
larceny in the second degree by
Martin Dokken and who has since
been in Jail, will have his case de-
cided by the grand jury, 1t is under
stood that he will plead guilty to the
charge. The grand jury is summoned
to appear at IL a. m. October 9, and
it is expected that they will be in
session two days.
The civil calendar contains the
usual grist of suits, large, share
being continued from the May term.
Aside from the two divorce cases
and the three breach of promise
suits, there is little of the sensation
al that will come up.

school scholars reported, 35,143.

nod for all purposes for the past

of 100000 over 1920.
The per capita giving of the sy-
nod of Minnesota is considerably
in excess of the denominations av-
erage. The quota assigned the State
by the General Assembly's Com

$50. The churches reported raising
The report to the Stated Clerk of
the denomination at Philadelphia,
however, made the official treasures

only "a percent or $190,667 was
paid in to the denominatiopal en-
terprise. At the same time with its
partial pay-up, the per capita was
$5.47 as contrasted with the demon
national average of $3.50.
In order to lift the general level
of giving, thorough going stew
ardship campaign has been pro-
jected throughout the church and
has received careful attention by
the leaders of Presbyterianism in
Minnesota. A Presbyterian EXPOSE
ton showing the relations to the
nation and the world Of the Pres

sion during this exposition and will

tional meetings held, to which
Presbyterian laymen and women
have been invited from all over the
State.
About one hal; of the Presbyter-
ian constituency of the state is IN
Minneapolis and st. Paul presbyter-
les, and both these presbyteries
have very high standing in the de-
nomination for liberality and effici-
ency. Last year Minneapolis con
tributed $4,000 to all purposes and
st. Paul 1901, 900. The per capita, OF
Minneapolis presbYtery to, the de-
nominational enterprise was one of
the largest in the church and st.

ment that Mankato could pay her.

young people can and do appreciate
good music. 1t is Miss Macbeth's ar

given the opportunity to hear more
concerts, arranged particularly for
them, for it is through hearing good
music when a child that they learn
to appreciate the best of art. The

means for the first step in this di-
