LAWN FETE.

The first lawn fete Of the season, given
by the ladies of the Episcopal church last
night at Eagle Roost, very nearly repre-
sented the society people Of Wichita.
There were over three hundred and fifty
ladies and gentlemen in attendance. The
dancing platform was excellently laid and
in excellent condition. Shaw's orchestra
furnished the music, and the dancers
''whirled and tripped the fantastic toe
until late hour. The ladies provided the
refreshments, ice cream, cake and lemon
ade Many of the society people of the
city remember with pleasure the series of
lawn fetes given By these ladies last.sunl-
mer, and judging from the one last night,
with its large attendance, still more bril-
liant ones mar be anticipated this year.

all human endeavors are graphically pic
tured. With vehement fiery impassioned
eloquence the preacher drives home the
truth on to the conscience and heart until
men quake Even little children catch
sight of the Savior's face and touch the
hem of his garment with the finger of
faith and find salvation. The unusual
spiritual singing which accompanies the
gospel preachers eloquence is no inferior
aid to these services. The meetings are
now held in the church edifce and large
numbers are expected throughout the ser
vices. Meetings every night this week.
Come and bring Gospel Hymns.

CHANGES AT THE FOURTH NATIONAL
BANK.

The directors of the Fourth National
bank held a meeting Tuesday to make
some changes in the officials of the bank
and adjourned to hold a decisive meeting
Yesterday morning. The board, owing to
rapidly increasing business, found it
necessary to increase the help, and Mr..
Geo. c. Strong, having other extensive in
terests to look after, desired TO be relieved
as cashier. As result Mr.. Strong was
made vice-president and F. W. Waller, jr.,
formerly assistant cashier of the Wichita
National bank was elected cashier.
Mr.. Strong, through whose influence
and energy a large part of the success of
the Fourth National Bank is due, will still
give considerable attention to the bank.
His other interests demand so much of
his time that an extra man was found
necessary The Fourth National is to be
congratulated upon securing the services
of so good cashier as Mr.. Waller, whose
experience for many years makes him one
of the best judges on securities in the
Notwithstanding to this his pleasing adj
dress with many friends he will make
large additions to the business of the
Fourth National The change will not
take place for few weeks, but all the ar
rangements are defnately made.

GEO. A. MATTHEWS.

The nominee OF the Watertown conyen-
ton, Hon. Geo. A. Matthews, will be the
next delegate to congress from Dakota.
He is resident of Brookings and al
though young man, he is an old Dsko-
taian. He is bright, energetic and has
already distinguished himself IN Dakota
affairs. 1t will be urged against him that
he was a member of the notorious old
capital commission that located the capital
at Bismarck by bare majority vote, but
1t should also be noticed that Mr.. Math.
ews stood firmly for South Dakota max
ing an especial effort to nave 1t located at
Huron. He is staunch Republican and
on the two state idea "he is all right"
At the last session of the Legislature a
series Of division resolutions was adopted.
Mr. Matthews introduced these resolu-
tions and advocated their passage in a
strong speech. He has division record
a long ways back OF the general conyer-
sion of the ants which followed the
adoption Of the national platform at
Chicago with its 1.-TWO Dakotas" plank.
Mr., Mathews will be elected by great
round figure and will have the honor TO
represent at Washington the greatest
constituency Of any territorial delegate
and the last of long line of Dakota con-
gresslonal delegates.

protection, are protected by high tariff
which is, in many cases, nothing more nor
less than a tax.
That we condemn the present Democrat
ic administration for its persistent and
continued hostility to the ex-Union sol-
diers in yetoing pension bills upon the
most frivolous pretexts, without reference
to the justice of the claim or the merit of
the applicant, thereby carrying cut the
theory of the present executive that the
aims house is the proper refuge Of our
brave veterans, as demonstrated by his
willingness that the man who stood as his
substitute should be permitted TO die
there; that the foreign service Of the
United States should not become the
asylum for ex.confederate soldiers as the
reward of treason for opportunities given
them 10 demonstrate the victory of the
Union over rebellion to be more apparent
than real, but that such representation be-
longs to the Union veteran, other things
beng equal.
Following the lead of our national plat
form as enunciated at Chicago, and of the
will of the people of this territory, as duly
expressed in a majority OF the counties
upon the question OF local option, We
heartily endorse all just measures for the
banishment Of the saloon from our
borders.

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this nervo $ trouble with which
= @-Gany ssom aow 10 be afflicted ? If You
viii remember a few years ago the word
halmia wus comparatively unknown, -
to day IT is as common as any word in tho
English language, yet this WORD covers
only the meaning of another word used by
our fprefathers in times past. So it is
with nervous diseases, as they and Malaria
are intended to cover what our foTeiathers
called Biliousnr rs, and all are caused by
troubles that arose from diseased cOndi-
ton of the Liver which in performing it's
functions finding that il cannot dispose of
the bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the sys-
tenn, causlng nervous troubles, Malaria.
Bilious Fever, etc, You who are suffer
ing can we'll appreciate cure. We rec
commend Green's August Flower. Its
cures are marvellous. 42yl

The Land and Labor News, Of Sioux
Falls. has the following to say of Geo. A.
Mathews. the Republican, candidate for
delegate
"In the spring Of 1878 George A. Math-
ews rode into the village of Fountain.
Brookings county, in full grown wagon,
drawn by diminutive span of mules.
From that day to this he has always been
changing vehicles, nothing has been too
rich for him, and the people have humor-
ed him in his tastes. On Friday last lie
took possession of the congressional band
wagon of the territory, and If nothing
happens, he and the wagon will appear in
the street parade at Washington next year.
The News is not supporting Nh Mathews,
but the editor having known him inti-
matcly for years, only to admire him, can
not help giving way to warm personal
expression. Mr.. Mathews is an able, hon
orable, manly man, more than when can
not be said of any human being.

Beadle county delegation made his nomi-
nation fact-but really Gen. Allen nomi-
mated him by giving him ITO north Dakota
votes, on the other hand Grgsby, of Sioux
Falls, nominated bim by not casting his

votes. Thus We might assign reasons by
the yard how Ma thews came to be nomi-
mated and others did not, but the proper
way to put it isthe conyenticn nominal.

Yaukton Press If Governor Church
succeeds in electing nine members Of the
legislative council whom he can control in
ms interest there can be no repeal of the
existing laws bestowing extraordinary
powers and extraordinary income upon
him. Nine members of the council can
block the passage Of bill over his veto.
This is what Governor Church is trying
to do, and it will require the most active
efforts OF the people Of DAKOTA to defeat
his scheme. The governor has an advant-
age in the fight. This is the year for care
full nominations and unswerying fidelity
to all Republican nominees.

The best write up of the Watertown
convention is by Ralph Wheclock in the
Mitchell Republican. He must stand cor
rected on one point however. He gives
Dawson county credit for starting the
stampede for Clifford on the fourteenth
ballot. On that ballot Hon. 0. 5.
Gifford's forces were demonlized. Hand
county had given six votes for Mathews
and three stood pat for Clifford. Sudden
ly our chairman. Major Howell, caught the
eve of the chairman and Ioared Hand
county desires to change six votes from
Mathews TO Clifford" Immediateiy a
dozen or two mounted their chairs and
and tried to gain recognition from the
chairman in order to change their votes
to Clifford but Col. Geary, the chairman,
out generated the stampede. He would
recognize none until everybody was seat
ed. The panic fiattened out and motion
to adjourn for supper prevailed, which
proved to be GiEord's Waterloo

will develope statesmen from
way back. Out of 500 delegates attending
the watertown convention, about 45O re-
turned home and forthwith installed them
selves as heroes among gaping assembly
of dry goods box whittlers by demonstrat-

directly under obligations to him for hts
nomination. At critical moment the
