Proper Recognition Of Those Who
Captured Younger Brothers
Those who can go back in Mimi
esota's history as far as August and
September 1876, may live over again
the events of the invasion of the
James and Younger outlaw gang,
while those who have not lived so
long can glimpse into a stirring
page in the earlier days of the
state. says The St. Paul Dispatch.
A movements under way in Min
nesota to have the state establish
monument or other suitable re-
cognition at Madelia to Captain w.
w. Murphy and six volunteer as
brush near the town to put to ronte
members of the gang following the
famous attempted robbery Of the
First National bank at Northfield
early in the afternoon of Septem-
ber 7, 1876.
The effort for suitable recogni-
ton to Captain Murphy and his as
sociates is being directed by David
e. Hasey, 26 Oak Grove street,
Minneapolis. a conductor on the
Omaho railway, whose run between
Minneapolis and Sioux City, Iowa,
takes him six times weekly near the
spot or the famous bandit capture.
Geovernor Preus has promised
Mr.. Hasey that the matter will
have his consideration, while en-
dorsement of the proposal has been
given by Senator Henrik Shipstead
andsW W. Folwell, president emer-
titus of the University Of Minne-
sota
The plan as outlined by Mr..
Hasey, is to have the unveiling
proceedings take place September
Z, 1926, the fiftieth anniversary
of the attempted bank robbery,
which when the smoke of battle
had cleared, was found to have re-
suited in the death of six persons
three rogues and three citizens.
"The courage and bravery Of the
citizens of Mortified in resisting
the attack and of the citizens of
Madelia in capturing this notorious
band Of outlaws is worthy of high
recognition" Senator Shipstead
wrote to Mr.. Hasey. "This historical
event should be preserved by the
memorial suggested. The achieve
ment reflects most brilliantly the
respect for law and order that al
ways will prevail among the citi-
zens Of Minnesota"

United States Could Take Striker
Under Generosity Fold
w. d. Willard, chairman of the
foreign work committee of the Man.
kato Y. NJ. c. A, is IN receipt of a
letter from Sherwood Eddy, associ-
ate general secretary of the for
eign division Of they. M. c. A., in
which he states that he is back in
New York from a trip around the
world.
Mr.. Eddy writes that In twenty
lands the Y. M. G. A. never faced a
greater need, or a larger spiritual
opportunity than at the pres -Et
hour. He says, that the United States
has emerged from the war as the
richest country in the world, and
perhaps the only one capable of
moral leadership. Mr.. Eddy is conf.
dent that "the American people or
nation can save the world morally
If we wish to. This of course will
mean generous giving and self
sacrifice" Mr.. Eddy says that the
opportunity to bring Christianity to
twenty critical countries, Is flung
wide open to the leadership OF
America.
According to the letter of Mr..
Eddy, in Japan there is an awaken
ing interest in Christianity and the
outlook there is bright especially
among the young men.
What is true Of Japan is also
true of China in sense. Young, men
are expressing an increasing de-
sire to study the Bible. In India
the traveller found the minds Of the
educated moving toward Christ. In
Egypt the Y. M. G. A. is filled with
young men anxious to take on
G Christianity. This Is also true in

that construction prices have riser

sible to build structure equal tt

amount of money was available, al
this time.
The new dormitory will be financ-
ed by the university building associ-
alton, private corporation of local

ing will be bought by the university
by twenty annual payments. The
same association has erected Lind
ley and Forney halls.
Discuss Science Hall
The new science hall, and the time
of its erection, was also discussed
by the board. There will be no mon
ey available until the first of August,
and the university gets but fifty-five
per cent of that. The entire amount
is to be raised in two years.
1t is hoped that the university will
be given the entire first collections,
and ten per cent of the second.
If this could be done, it would al

this arrangement to make all the

was not a bit Of hardness In It.
She was almost the same. but not

tripped into the show with the

him on one occasion that they had

next to the one the farmer had
reserved. You'll find this bill
full Of worthwhile surprises, II

A minute after she had tripped
into the theater, Wayne began to
worry. Perhaps their trouble
was more serious than he had
thought. Perhaps something big
had separated them. They might
have secured a divorce. It might
be that he had committed q terri
BILE mistake instead Of doing a big
kindness.

Neither mentioned the quarrel

took him quite a long time to

and Wayne could hardly keep
from saying something sarcastic.
While he had watched the man,
he felt for the next ticket and
then he stopped. No, the big
bluff farmer wouldn't want to sit
beside that n1iser. It would ruin
all his pleasure Of the vaudeville
performance, no doubt the first
he had seen since last fall.
SO a quick shifting Of tickets
took place and the man, whose
shoulders had been bent by COL

distributing it, was given a seat
alone. It's neighbor would later
be handed to another person of
his own type. AS for the seat

desk, ready to be handed to some
genial-looking person who seemed

theater for several minutes. The
