THE REAPER TRIAL.

TIE trial Of reapers took place, as per an
nouncement, on Maj. Stones farm at
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Two reaperf
were entered, the Adams & French, sold by
Gardner Bros, and the Mccormick, repre-.
sented by ]. L. Foskett. A gentleman
who witnessed the exhibition furnishes the
following description of the event:
The afternoon was given to witnessing the
remarkable results of two grain reapers, in
cluding the binders. Which was the better
and did the best work we wouldn't tell if we
could. The friends Of each claimed supe-
rior advantages, and the testimony was pref
ty equally divided. 1t can be said, in truth.
for either, that the grain was too green for a
fair trial. 1t was very tall rye in the rye
field of Maj. Stone, and it was hard to cut
and handle and bind; but both machines
did it we'll. The Adams & French machine
is handled by Gardner Bros. OH Douglas
avenue, and the Mccormick machine by
Mr.. Fosket on Capital street. A large
crowd of farmers and town people were at
the exhibition, and no doubt the advertise
ment was good one.
The old sickle and the cradle, and the
rake might as we'll be piled together out
upon the old turnpike roads and burned;
for railroads and reapers are doing the
business, except over the rocks and upon
the hill sides in the east and there We don't
want to farm, but would advise all young
men to ego west"

MASONIC.
Installation of the Oaicers OF st. John,
Lodge Last Night.

Installation Of the Officers OF St. Johns
Lodge Last Night.
A large number of the masons of Yank-
ton, with their wives and daughters, met at
masonic hall last night to witness the cere-
mony of the installation of the officers Of
St. Johns lodge.
A very pleasant feature of the occasion
was the presentation to P. NJ. F. J. Dewitt
of an elegant past masters jewel, as testi-
monial Of the respect and esteem in which
he is held by the fraternity of this city.
The presentation was made by Geo. H.
Hand. grand master of the territory, in q
neat and appropriate speech, in which he
eloquently alluded to the masonic labors of
Maj. Dewitt. The proposed presentation
was known to but very few, and of course
was a complete surprise to the one most in
teres:ed. In reply Maj. Dewitt warmly
thanked his brethren for the token of their
esteem, aAd acknowledged that the presen-
tation was so sudden and unexpected that
he could not find words to convey his appre-
citation of the compliment.
At the conclusion Of the presentation Ger.
emonies the officers of the lodge were in
stalled by Grand Master Hand. The fol-
lowing is list of the officers:
Geo. w. Kingsbury, master; VIM. Blatt,
senior warden; John o. Bates, junior ward
en-; ]. r. Sanborn, treasurer; 8. H. Gruber,
secretary; w. II. H. Beadle, senior deacon !;
w. S. Goodwin, junior deacon; Charles
Eiseman, senior steward; N. aylor, junior
steward; P. Cavalier, tyler.
The ceremonies were interpreted with
appropriate music. furnished by quartetts
ofsexcellent singers.
After the officers were installed the tables
were spread and covered with chsice col
lation, which was partaken of amidst the
utmost good feeling and jollity.. The party
dispersed about IL o'clock, each individual
feeling that it was "good to be there.O

When the bile is diverted from its proper chan
nels, into the blood, which is always the case in
liver complaints, it ceases to be healthy sccre-
ton. and becomes poison. Its abnormal pres
ence in the circulation and stomach is indicated
by the suffusion of the skin with hideous SAT-
from tinge, by headaches, vertigo, nausea, pain
in the right side and under the right shoulder
blade, by indigestion, obstruction Of the bowels,
and other minor symptoms. Order may be substi-
tuted for this state Of chaos, and further bodily
evil averted by using the beneticent Alternative
and tonic, Hostetters Stomach Bittcrs, which,
by relaxing the bowels, promotes the escape from
the circulation of bilious impurities besides
rendering the action Of the liver regular, and
removing every trace Of dyspepsia. This pleas
ant and purely vegetable anti bilious medicine
Is not only infinitely more effective than any
form Of mercury, but is on account OF its freedom
from hurtful properties, infinitely to be preferred
to that poisonous drug.

VERMILL1oN, OAK, June 25, 1873.
Editors Press & Dako'aian:
The fourth annual convention of the Da-
kota Sunday School association assembled
this afternoon in the Baptist church at this
place. In the absence ofthe president, Rev.
Joseph Ward, of Yankton, vice-president
occupied the chair. The attendance at first
is not large but many will be in upon the
train west this afternoon, and others from
the north this evening and tomorrow. A
telegram was received from Mr.. Plant, the
conductor, that he could not reach here until
tomorrow. The work has begun in Garnet
and all present joined with alacrity in the
discussions and plans.
The rain last night was heavy here ard
for eight or ten miles northward beyond
that light. Very slight damage to crops,
not noticeable. All crops look and promise
splendidly. The Dakota Southern has a
large force Of men and teams at work grad
ing and digging back from the encroachirg e
river. The Missouri has played havoc with
the banks below Vermillion; it is washing
but little now. But they must still dig ell
the time into the foot of the bluff to keep
running. The train had to wait an hour
this morning. The result is doubtful yet,
but the promise is now more hopeful. The
curve into the bank of the stream is now 60
deep or sharp rs to diminish the effect of
the current upon it. But the steep banks
and deep boiling water and whirlpools are
within 10 to 20 feet of the track for long
distance. B.

CURIosrTIEs OF EARTH.

At the city of Medina, in Italy, and
about four miles around it, wherever the
earth is dug, when the workmen arrive at
distance of SO feet, they come to a bed
of chalk, which they bore with an auger,
feet deep. They then withdraw from
the pit before the auger is removed, and up
on its extraction the water bursts up
through the aperture with great violence,
and quickly fills the newly made well,
which continues full and is affected neith-
er by rains nor drought. But what is the
most remarkable in this operation is
the layers of earth as we decend. At the
depth Of IA feet are found the ruins of an
ancient city, paved streets, houses, floors,
and different pieces Of mason work. I'm
der this is found soft, oozy earth, made
up of vegetable matter, and at 26 feet large
trees tire, such as walnut trees, with the
walnuts still sticking to the stem, and the
leaves and branches in perfect state of
preservation. At % feet deep a soft chalk
is found, mixed with vast quantity Of
shells, and the bed is ii feet thick. Under
this vegetables are found again.-Er.

In the neighborhood of Baku, on the

On it are several ancient temples Of
stone, supposed to be dedicated to
the fire, there being one among them
in which fire. worship is carried on.
Near the altar is large, hollow

blue flame. At short distance from
this temple, there is a horizontal gap.

feet long and three broad, out of which
comes u constant blue flame. When
there is strong wind, it rises to the
height of about eight feet, but is much
lower in calm weather The earth

this extraordinary property, that by

TO OUR PATRONS AND FRIENDS.

Since we commenced the publica-
ton of the UNION our subscription
list has more than doubled, yet we
are still DESTROYS of increasing the
circulation. 1t costs but trihe more,
after the type are set, to print two
thousand than it does to print one
thousand copies. If we had two
thousand circulation we could soon
afford to enlarge the UNION and furnish
larger amount of reading at the same
price it is now, SO let every subscriber
strive to obtain all the subscribers
they can and forward the cash to this
Office. Remember, we give ten copies
of the UNION one year for nine dollars.
The offer is extended to all who feel
like awaiting themselves of the oppor-
tunity.
We have had few applications for
number four of the UNION, but it is
out of print and therefore we cannot
furnish it to any one yet we intend
soon to reprint that portion of Joseph
Smiths Sermon which was published
in number four so that those who wish
the sermon complete, can obtain it,
until numbers five and six are ex.
hausted.

vicinity provided they deliver it at

OTTO,

DCdVeI. august &, 1910.
Editor UNIoN.-Politics seem to take a
prominent position in Utah; yet many do
not seem to understand the real issues.
Some men (and women too) say they do
not believe in mixing politics with religion.
With this view when will Goods King dom
rule the wOrld?" This is all very fine.
1t happens, however, in our Territory, that
outside OF religion there are no politics.
If there is, what are the issues? The two
great national parties-Democrat and Re-
publicans, with all their concomitants, join
together in one political (?) party called
"Liberals." For what purpose do they
thus unite? The answer is too obvious to
need comment. 1t is answered in few
words-'to put down the Mormon religion
All outsiders join in one 20 keep the Lat
ter Day Saints out of Office and Gentiles
in (to the puplic crib) 1t is then rei-
gious issue. n Illinois it was cold Citi-

of the old type. Not only do all political
Glasses join to ostracs those who made
the Country what it's, on religious grounds,
but all relgionists, no matter Of what
creed, like Herod and Pontius plate, join
against The Saints, under guise of the lib
eral party" But deliver us from such
liberalism as they offer us. They are the
most greedy set ever saw. When we
consider what they already have and what
they clamor for, we are very forcibly re-
minded of the lying miller, who, having
three sons ,called them to his bedside to deter
mine which shodld have the mill. On
asking the first what toll he would take If
the mill fell to him. he answered one-fourth.
The old man shook his head and called
number two. He would take one-third-
too little, couldn't live at it. Number
three being called said; "My name being
