MISSIONARY RALLY
Able Addresses Upon Mission Work at M.E. Church Friday and Saturday

At the Methodist church last Friday and Saturday was held a missionary rally. The afternoon session on Saturday was not largely attended, but the evening sessions on both days was attended by a good sized crowd.

Dr. F.B. Cowgill, of Mankato, opened the evening session Friday with a brief address, in which he stated the aims and objects of the rallies here and elsewhere. In the absence of Dr. J.B. Trimble, Dr. Beck, a native of Nebraska, but for twenty years a missionary in Korea, and superintendent of the publishing houses of Korea, spoke on the progress of the Methodist missions in Korea, which were started in 1885, the first Protestant conference being held there in 1887.

Dr. E.F. Frease, an Ohio missionary in India, also delivered an interesting address, his topic being "The Present Missionary Situation."

The afternoon session on Saturday was given over to a series of papers, among which was one by Rev. G.A. Cahoon, and an open conference and question drawer, and the evening session consisted of a missionary song service, an address on the possibilities of the missionary movement if adequately reinforced, by Dr. Frease, and a word picture of Korean life by Dr. Beck.

Taken in its entirety, the missionary rally was a complete success, and no doubt the cause of foreign missions was greatly aided by the meeting, as the program brought out most forcibly the need of the work and the things most needed to facilitate the labors of the missionary workers.

Will Give Concert

The Worthington Concert Band will give a concert on Friday evening, March 26th. an unusually fine program is being prepared for the occasion, and the band will no doubt meet with deserved patronage.

Don't forget the date, and begin now to make plans to attend the concert. Further particulars will be given in the columns as to place of holding the concert.

The crew were switching in the yards and Crane attempted to step from the top of a box car to the tender and slipped, falling between the rails in such a manner that the wheels of the car passed over his left leg, severing it at the hip, and cutting off his left arm between the elbow and shoulder. His right shoulder was also broken by the fall. His cries attracted the attention of a passerby who went to his aid. Crane asked the stranger to call a physician as he had been injured, which was done. Meanwhile the train crew arrived on the scene and the unfortunate man was placed on a grain door and carried to the depot and afterward removed to the hospital where he died about three hours later.

Matt Fish, the barber, had a peculiar experience Saturday and one which he is not anxious to repeat.

The club will meet on April 1st with Mrs. Veeder.

Mrs. Richard Darling was returned to the insane hospital at St. Peter last Friday.

At the station she refused to board the train and it required all the strength of her husband to place her upon the car. As the train was in motion at the time, the struggle caused considerable excitement as it looked for a time as if the struggles of the unfortunate woman would precipitate both she and her husband beneath the wheels. The trainmen, realizing the situation stopped the train until she was safely ensconced in a seat in the coach.
