The Dakota Methodists.
Huron, Dakota, Oct. 13-This has been
very important day for the Dakota
Methodists. The conference met at 8
o'clock. Bishop Simpson presiding. The
first subject considered was college for
south Dakota. The committee appointed
at the conference in 1882 made their re.
port Of bids offered BY Huron, Ordway
and Mitchell, which bids were tele-
graphed last night. They made no
recommendation rs to what the confer.
enoe ought 10 do in the matter, but SIM
ply urged that great care be taken to
guard all the interests OF the church.
There were nearly 100 ministers present
who are preaching in different parts of
the territory, but as this is not regular,
only . mission conference, none of them
were legal voters, according to Bishop
simpsons decision. except those who had
been sent TO Dakota by their heme con.
ference to preach. This reduced the
number entitled to vote to about twenty.
A motion TO allow some OF the best men
in the denomination who are visitors
to participate in the discussion OF the
subject was voted down. Then the
pastor at Mitchell moved to accept the
Offers Of Ordway aud Mitchell, and this
vas carried by . large majority. It
boxed to be put-up job between the
friend of the two towns to tickle each
other. No one had heard of two col.
leges until today. Huron is happy in
!" t getting half loaf when it bid for q
whole one. The question cf prohibition
came up in the form of two reports, one
in favor Of prohibition on general prin-
c,ples, and the other, offered by Rev.
Dolliver Of Yankton, pledginR to vote
against the Sioux Falls constitution, bs.
cause the convention refused to give the
people chance to vote on putting pro-
hibition into it. He made a powerful
speech in support of his proposition, got
his report substituted for the majority,
then adopted. This was the only busi-
ness done to-day. At night the Sunday
school union held q meeting and had
some first rate addresses.
