dress.
Yesterday afternoon the convention
met at the NJ. Z. church aud carried out
the programme as arranged for that
time.
Mrs. j. B. VanYelsor, superintendent
CT the work through the press, gave q
summary OF that branch OF the organl-
cations labor aud reports from Elk
Point. by Mrs. Wood, and from Centre
vile, by Mrs. Sloan, were given.
The subject of temperance literature
was next taken up and discussed by
Mrs. A. Phillips, of Parker, who acted
in the place of Mrs. f. B. Smith, of Par
ker, unable to attend.
Several reports from other unions
were read.
On social purity the convention was
addressed by Mrs. N. M. Davis, of Gem
treville, q lady who has given muoa
tine and labor to temperance and
religious causes, and her discourse was
very interesting.
Reports on the workers conferences Of
Parker, Vermillion, C%entrevllle, Elk
Point and Yankton were given.
An instructive lesson on the subject of
the question drawer was given by Mrs.
Parker, after which the convention adj
lourned to meet at the Congregational
church in the. evening.
EVENING sEssIoN.
The session at the Congregational
church last evening was very well at.
tended aud highly entertaining. AS per
programme, at s o'clock Mrs. Swift
opened the meeting with a scripture
lesson, followed by q song from this
choir.
Mrs. A. B. Dunlap offered the prayer,
and Miss Minnie Todd rendered a vocal
solo, entitled Nearer My God to Thee
Then Mrs. Fl. NJ. Barker took the plat
form, and for the next two hours and a
half kept the audience interested with
a lecture on the temperance cause. This
lady is q speaker of ability, and the ad'
dress was full Of sound, logical argu-
ment, well touched up with humor.
| Very few of Yankton's people had had
an opportunity of listening to Mrs
Barker before last evening, but should
she again visit Yankton, she will be
greeted with q large and appreciative
audience. Although q church audience
is not supposed to depart from decorum
and indulge in applause, last night there
was q small breach in etiquette and the
listeners lightly applauded Mrs. Barker
at the conclusion of her address.
After the lecture, Rev. G.. 4. Ragel
made a few remarks relative to a collec
ton that was to be taken up, and when
that very important feature of the pro,
gramme was carried out there ives 6
| hearty response.
After the meeting there was q short
regular session of the convention held,
at which a large number of the audience
remained.
Thus closed O. most pleasant district
convention of an organization that has
in its ranks a great number of the very
noblest of Dakota's women. May the
| w. O. r.. U.decide to hold another meet.
ing in Yankton at some time in the near
future.
