Dr.1 Titswb'rth of' the Ply month Church, Milwaukee, recently preached a very interesting sermon on advertising in connection with the spread of the gospel. Mr. Titsworth believes in "the maintenance of a bureau of publicity in every church, but not sensational advertising." This is a subject of considerable interest to Far go churches and it may be said of the ministers of the city—several of theni at least—that they believe in informing the public of what they have to offer through the columns of the daily press, as well as through weekly notices for distribution, and there are a number of church papers, which aid greatly in keeping people informeld on religious doings. It is reasonable for churches to advertise through the daily press for by so doing they are enabled to reach a much larger number than would be possible otherwise. In this country nearly everybody reads the daily papers regularly. Through ^Jiat means can a religious hody regularly reach as large an audience as by the daily press? It seems to be largely a matter of enterprise, whether church advertising i* encouraged or Jrc^wned upon. It was a happy thought that prompted the .officers of the. T"-State Grain and Stock Growers' Association to invite the farmers 6f Manitoba to participate in the annual convention-to be held in Fargo next month. The in terests of the people of the northwest, whether north or south of the interna tional boundary line, are in njany Te- spects similar and a mingling of farm ers from both countries will no doubt be.beneficial to all concerned. Our northern neighbors have displayed the same enterprise and grit in the devel opment of agriculture that North Da kotans and Minnesotans have and their experience will be as valuable to farm ers of this section as what farmers of the states know will be to them. The Manitobans seem to have taken kind ly to the invitation presented 6y Presi dent Johnson in behalf of the associa tion.'^' ft Djstritt Jtidge Jibxts A. Howe of Des fyloines, la., in an important case before his court the other day, held that divorce granted under a Da kota statute is null and void in Iowa, if it is proven that the litigant resides in the state merely for the purpose of securing a. decree. The ruling seems to.be a most sensible one, so far as the. object of residence in connection with litigation is concerned, but why should it matter whether the divorce ||atute is one enacted by a Dakota lej^i|iture as distinguished from otiiir tum? 0#ght the time limit to make TBt FARQO FORUM AND DAILY REttJBUCAS %JESDAT EVENING, DECEMBER a material difference in the granting of divorces? Are there not other consid erations of greater importance? *3" The Forum is gratified thlt the city of Fargo has secured a fire engine. It has been its belief for a long time that this action was essential to obtain the confidence of the underwriters that Fargo intended to protect property from destruction this was why The Forum urged the retention of the small engine until something better could be obtained. The action of Mayor Sweet will be heartily approved by citizens generally. & Henry Clews & Co. report con tinued rise of confidence in the New York stock market, notwithstanding Thanksgiving naturally tends to re strict operations. Railroad stocks are strong and doing better, while indus trials are rather weak and irregular. Railroad earnings are larger than ever and many roads are earning much in (xccss of present dividends. During the past two years there have been enormous expenditures far reconstruc tion, which came out of the earnings. This expense will be largely reduced during the next year and with the in creased earnings will make railroad stocks decidedly on the upward grade. Mr. Clews is of the opinion that indus try has reached the top wave, but the decline will be gradual. The outcome depends largely upon the reasonable ness of the .attitude of labor. It is be lieved that next year should find the country upon more solid ground than in 1902 or 1903.

Grover Cleveland has informed his dear friend, editor of The Brooklyn Eagle, and hence, incidentally the pub lic that he will never, under any con sideration, becomc the nominee of the democracy for president. Mr. Cleve land says: "My determination not to do so is unalterable and conclusive." How good of him! Of course Colonel Bryan cruelly remarked that it wouldn't have made ariy difference any but the press knows differently^! SUDDEN DEATH. fibwbells Bulletin: Andrew Bodin, son of Mrs. Anna Bodin, living south west of town came to a sudden and viol ent death on Wednesday of this week. He was returning from the Gille and Miller coal mine with a load of coal, when, in descending a hill the wagon temgue came down, precipitating the wagon heavily loaded with coal, down the grade at a great rate of speed, when the tongue ran into the ground, check ing the wagon and throwing the unfor tunate young man out on his head, breaking- his neck. He arose, ran a few steps towards the team, then sank to the ground, dying almost instantly. Deceased was the oldest son of Mrs. Bodin, and her main support, her hus band having been killed three years ago in a threshing machine accident. To her the death is an extremely sad blow, and the sympathy of the entire community goes out to her in this her sad bereavement. About one third of the people of Cass County reside in Fdrgo and the city pays more than 41 per cent of the taxes. A combined county courthouse and city hall would not be an innova tion. They have them in Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and.^ other wetropolises.'

The conductor on No. 7 put her ojf here. Mr. Solon succeeded in get ting her to say that her name is Mabel Nelson and that her aunt put her on the train at Fargo. Then she began to cry and would not talk. Mr. Keohen coaxed her to go to dinner with him and looked after her ail the afternoon until about supper time, when he turned her over to Chief Burt. The chief took her to the restaurant and gave her a good supper. She played with the little girls all the evening, forgot her troubles and said she was going to her papa, that his name is Andrew Nelson. After considerable in quiry it was learned that he is working for Andrew Schilling. Mr. Giselias took her out to the farm Tuesday morning.

A little tot less than 2 years old, who foakes his home with his parents on the Northside, has been taught to say "grace" at the table. His words do not come frtely yet, as he has only five teeth, but he puts his hand over his fact and, with bowed head, goes through the ceremony with more intelligence than is usual in a child of that age. The other day at the breakfast hour he was put up in his chair some fifteen minutes before his father and mother were ready to come to the table, and every minute or two he would ask the blessing in his- little way. He repeated this experiment about a half dozen times and, finding that this did not bring his breakfast to him, he set up a yell that could be heard for blocks around. It goes without saying that he is los ing his faith in "grace" even at his tender age. A woman should not expected to think •.

The other day she had just finished bathing her hands, using for that pur pose a flesh brush. She had occasion to leave the room a moment afterward and when she returned the child had secured a tooth brush from the wash stand, soaped it well and in the height of glee was scrubbing his hands. Reproof was ont of the question, and the mother joined in the merriment and thus added to the child's delight. The miner digs into the earth For all the coal we get. I dig into my pocketbook, And that seems harder yet. "Say, mister, does this thing^ gftl change?" The remark was addressed to a ped estrian by a street urchin. The thing to which the boy alluded was one of the slot machines on the streets for the sale of chewing gum. Either a penny of a nickel would operate this machine and the boy had dropped a nickel in the slot. He only received a penny cake of chewing gum in return, however, and he was bewailing the loss of the other 4 cents. Then it was that he asked the man if the machine would give change.

ANOTHER ACCIDENTAL DEATH Fessenden Free Press: An 18-year old son of Philip Schmidt, living a few miles southwest of town, accidentally shot himself to death yesterday with a double barrel shot gun. The lad was fooling with the gun, snapping the trigger back and forth with his foot. He was cautioned to be careful lest he get hurt, but said the gun wasn't load ed. Pretty soon the gun that wasn't loaded went off and the contents of the shell entered the lad's stomach. Dr. Neukamp was summoned but beforft iie could reach the boy he was dead.
