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. As is well known the Worthington Concert Band is the equal if not the superior of any similar organization in this section and is deserving of all the support the citizens may see fit to bestow. 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.

Dislocated Shoulder

Fred Tilland, residing south of town, slipped on the ice at his home Monday afternoon and sustained a dislocation of the left shoulder. He came to Worthington where he received the necessary surgical attention, and although it will probably be several days before he will be able to use the injured member, he is doing as well as possible under the circumstances.

Attend Inauguration

Smith, Quartermaster Sergeant Chas. Loveless and Musician Arba Bedford, of Company F, who accompanied Company B, First regiment, M.N.G., to the national capital, the latter company acting as escort and bodyguard for Gov. John A. Johnson.

Daniel Crane, a brakeman on the Omaha , was killed at Windom last Saturday evening. Crane was a member of T.

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.

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.
