FAIRMONT'S GREAT REVIVAL
A Thousand or More Attend the Closing
Meeting in a Tent.
FAIRMONT, MINN.The union evangelistic
meetings, conducted by Evangelists Robert B.
Johnson and Charles H. Grey of Chicago, came
to a close Sunday evening. The meetings
from every standpoint were most successful.
Opening with a very small attendance, on the
closing Sunday night the large tent was filled
and many stood outside, the whole crowd num
bering not less than a thousand persons.
On one day last week, in response to the
request of Evangelist Johnson, almost eveiy
place of business, as well as the schools, was
closed from 2 80 to 4 o'clock so that
all could attend the meetings The special
services of the day commenced with the ring
ing of church bells at 6 30 in the morning.
Almost the entire day was filled up with some
special line of Christian work.
Gymnastic exercises are held respon
sible for the fact that within the last
sixty years the percentage of young
men unfit for military service has fal
len from 39 per cent to 20 per cent.
"The Americans," says an Austrian
writer, "seem bound to ape all the fol
lies oi the old world. Threatened by
no enemy, they expend more on war
and navy than any European nation,
and fill the world with defiant war
cries.''
Special to The Journal.
Webster City, Iowa, Sept. 20.The beautiful
Kendell Young library building was formally
dedicated in this city today. The exercises were
held at the Congregational church and receptions
at the library. Colonel Charles A. Clark of
Cedar Rapids delivered the dedicatory address.
This library was made possible thru the gen
trosity of Kendall Young, who, when he died in
1896, left his entire fortune in stocks and lands
to the city for library purposes. This fortune
is estimated variously at from $250,000 to $275,-
000.
The dedication was attended by many wen
known persons from over the state, some of
whom are old time friends of the donor of the
library. The program was as follows:

[INSURANCE FRAUD
CASE IN CHICAGO
Charges of Misapplioation of
Trust Funds Against Western
Lifers Organizer.
New York Bun Speoial Service.
Chicago, Sept. 19.Extensive frauds
in the Western Life Indemnity com
pany, a $20,000,000 assessment insur
ance concern in the Masonic Temple,
are charged in a bill asking a receiver
ship and accounting and an injunction
against E. R. Rosenfeld, local manager
of the concern, and W. H. Gray.
The defendant company is the suc
cessor of the Knights Templars' and
Masons' Life Indemnity company, or
ganized in 1884. Hundreds of thousands
of life benefits have been paid out by
the company and it now has more than
$20,000,000 in policies outstanding.
Recently the concern had at least
$530,000 invested in bonds and other se
curities which constituted a trust fund
in favor of the members.
Charges of Fraud.
Charges of fraud running into thou
sands of dollars, misapplication of
trust funds and attempts to transfer
assets to another concern are made in
a suit.
Gray is the organizer of the associa
tion. He is prominently mentioned in
the bill in connection with alleged
fraudulent voting of funds to himself
and Rosenfeld.
The bill was filed by Attorney Sal
mon Levinson, representing numerous
policyholders the concern, in the
United States cirjeuit court.
The complainants are Allen W. Field,
Jesse B. Strode and Addison S. Tib
betts, and the defendants, beside the in
surance company, Rosenfeld and Gray,
are George M. Moulton, John A. Craw
ford, L. M. Martin. C. T. Drake, D. P.
Bramble, A. B. Huston, E. D. Moore and
A. N. Hislop. Both of the defendants
are residents of Lincoln, Neb.
Gray is alleged to have secured prox
ies from thousands of members, and
thus controlled the directors. By se
curing this control, it is alleged. Gray
had passed a resolution voting him the
right, by contract, to draw $1 for each
$000 insurance issued.
Besides these, many thousands of dol
lars alleged to have been improperly
taken, it is declared, Gray and his as
sociates by other fraudulent means took
many other thousands of dollars with
out the knowledge of the policyholders.
In February, it is alleged, Gray and
Rosenfeld entered into a fraudulent
contract whereby Gray should retire
from active management, to be sup
planted by Rosenfeld, who is now in
control.
Rosenfeld is alleged to claim that he
paid $125,000 for the contract right
formerly held by Gray.

OROOKSTON JOURNAL SUED
Robert H. Purvis Demands $10,000* for
an Alleged Libel.
CROO&STON, MINN.Robert H. Purvis has
sued the Crookston Journal for $10,000, al
leged damages sustained from the publication
in that paper of an alleged libelous article
which referred to a certain land trade made
by Mr Purvis.
Theodore Larsen, who, after making a sworn
statement that he killed Nels Nelson with an
axe and threw his body into the river, denied
bis guilt, is endeavoring in his confinement at
the Polk county Jail to carry out an alleged
Insanity dodge.
According to his original storyi larse left
the city with Nelson on the night ef Oct. 16,
1&03, and when upon the Carmen bridge he
hit his companion on the head and then threw
the corpse over the steel railing Into the
river. After the tragedy he said he drove
into Dakota and ao\L the team, later return
ing to Northome and Mizpah. At his pre
liminary examination, however, Latsen Instead
of pleading guilty to the charge preferred, en
tered a plea of not guilty and acted as tho
he had entirely forgotten what had transpired
at Northome, previous to and after his con
fession. He denied even knowing the Justice
of the peace who took his sworn statement.
CATARRH IS OUBABLE
Respiratory Diseases, Catarrh, Asthma
and Bronchitis, Readily Yield to
A_*tc 3ijC
New York, Sept. 19.The new theory
of combating the diseases, of the res
piratory tract by the internal treat
ment, ascatco, has gained recognition
from nearlv all of the noted medical
authorities. These diseases, catarrh,
asthma and bronchitis, commonly known
as the advance guards of consumption,
are quickly cured by 500 drops of this
marvelous remedy, the dose being small,
pleasant to take and causing no stom
ach disorder.
This discovery, which marks an epocn
in the advance of medical science, can
be obtained by writing to the Austrian
dispensary, 32 West Twenty-fifth street,
New York city. Sample bottles will be
distributed free by mail to 4hose who
have not tested ascatco and desire a
cure.
A clerk in a Portsmouth (Bng.)
solicitor's office had a stroke of luck
the other day. He happened so to
please a wealthy woman client that she
offered him $10,000 down, or $15,000 in
her will. He declared for the money
on the nail, and got it by check the
following day.
