Rev. 9. F. Clapp. pastor OF the Con-
gregational church of Yankton, preached
from his pulpit last night to the Yank-
ton city council and upon what the
Yankton people WI the city. He
chose for his text thess words, found in
the twenty-sscond chapter of Ezekiel,
second verse: "These are the men who
devise mischief and who give wicked
counsel in this CITY," ipasm ueh "a Mr..
Clapp was addressing his remarks to
our aldarmanio board, the text may seem
somewhat personal, but he had to take
it as he found it in the book and it is
not at all probable that it was intended
by the inspired writer to apply to Yanh-
ton municipal officials. Mr.. Clapp
spoke about the acts of our city council,
dwelling particularly on the repeal of
the special police ordinance, which he
characterized as infamous. He an
nounced himself as a candidate for any
city ofics the people might elect him to
and assured his audience he would do
his whole duty if he ever became an
officer.
