Last evening a party of three men
reached Yankton on the Scotland road,
bringing with them five horses, and put
up at the Germania house. They we're

horse thieves and stolen horses from
Redfeld. Later Henry Jassmau, mar.

errand, bringing the same description

CONGREGATIONAL SERVICES.

Mr. TomIin's Observation-Disclosures
Effective Sermon.
Raw. ID. r. Tomlin gave an interesting
discourse last evening, at the Oongrega-
tioDsl church, from the text Joshua
24:15. "Ohoose you this day whom We will
serve" That these words we're q part of
the farewell address Of Joshua to the
children OF Isarel does not destroy their
application to Us. Life is a service and
whether we will or not we are ~servants.
There are two powers in every life, u
vieing with the other for the supre-
macy. Need l say they are good and
evil. There are two masters claiming our
service, and these masters strive for the
asoendency. God 10 just as earnest to
save your soul from hell as satan is de-
eirous to drag you down. The balance
of power is with the individual. God is
as helpless, without mans will, to save O
soul, as man is without the help OF God.
When Godsand man are unit ed, satan
has nc power. He has no power only
when you mite with him. The gates of
the celestial city are close d against you
only as you desire 1t. There are three
parties in the conf, ct, God, self and the
devil, and you have the casting ballot.
The text suggests shat man has the
power of choice. This distinguishes him
from all other beings. You possess the
power to choose or reject God. Il is as
you will whether you go out of the
door saved or unsaved. Christ said "Ye
wall not come to me that ye might have
life" He that committeth sin is the ser.
vant-fhe servant of the evil one. God
brings salvation and lays it down at
your door. He confers upon you the
power of choice. God Is not uumindful
to tell rs the results. The warning of
God show his love. s'The soul that sin
ned it shall die" The choice is before
you. Eternal life is the result of earnest
effort. II is a service, but it il q delight
full service. There is pleasure in the
service of GOD. It is a profitable service.
Having promise OF the lie that now is
and OF that which 1s to come" It is q
reasonable service. Make the choice and
make 1t now. We have no promise OF
tomorrow. The promises of the future
are to those who accept HIM now. He
that believeth not is condemned already.
| Will you think of the fearful RESPONSE
biIity? Will you choose Chris? Will
you do it now?

"A GREAT LtAR.a

To the Press & Dskotaian: In the
Sioux City Journal of yesterday, Nov
20tb, there appeared q special" from
Canton. under date of Nov. 18Th as fol-
lows:
Canton, NoY. 19-There is much ado
about tue 9ankton asylum middle.
Yankton papers aud correspondents are
endsavoring to lay the blame OF the last
asylum catastrophe at the feet of Messrs.
Kean, tn superintendent OF construc-
ton; Pattee, the contractor, and Gen.
Gale, one of the board of trustees, Mr..
Wuolley, one trustee who recently re-
signed, wss chairman of the building
committee, and ordered brick for the
new asylum wings from n Smith. Mr.
Kean condemned the brick, preferring
the Yankton Pressed company's brlok.
MIR. Woolley is cashier of the Yankton
savings bank and had q mortgage on
Smiths stock and desired TO use his
brick. MIR. Ke8n was compelled to use
this brick against his Will. Since the
walls OF the new esst wing ut the asylum
fell, trustees Woolley and Q1iRtey we're
anxious to 10y the blame on kaan and
Pattee. The architects belopglrg to the
national association who we're engaged
to the work of the wing which
fell state that IN their opinion the ao-
cident was one that could not be guarded
against, it being always possible during
the construction of large buildings for
an ignorant or thoughtless workman to
knock away q temporary support and
be She immediate cause of q serious
accident.
All I have to say in reply to the fore
going. is to submit the following aft
dsvit of Mr.. Smith, which 1 think will
convince all fsir minded men hat the
Canton man who sent the foregoing
Especial" to the Journal, IS q great liar.

The Presidents Luck.

The Presidents luck stands by him. IL,
as the republicans asserted, the passage OF
the Chinese exclusion bill put him in very
embarrassing position, the official notifica-
ton that the Chinese treaty has been re-
jected by China removes his embarrass-
ment, and puts him in position to act ac-
cording to the wishes of the Pacific coast
people and at the same time to promote the
political interests of the Democratic party.
When it was stated on what was thought
to be authentic information that the Chi
nese treaty bad been rejected by China, the
Chinese exclusion bill was introduced in the
House by Mr.. Scott. the Presidents trusted
adviser while a republican from California
failed to introduce a similar bill, only be-
cause Mr.. Scott was too quick for him. The
bill was passed by the House with a rush; it
was also passed by the Senate, but about
that time the intelligence was received that
the treaty had not been rejected.
Its consideration had been postponed.
An attempt was made in the
Senate to reconsider the action of that body
but it failed on a close vote, and the bill
was handed yesterday to the President.
The republicans thought they had Mr..
Cleveland in very deep hole, so to speak.
Their thoughts ran in this channel: If he
signs it, he will lose the confidence of the
people in his devotion to duty; if he vetoes
it, he will lose all chance OF carrying Cali
fornia. They forgot to add: II his luck
should assert itself, there would BE- no sort
of dilemma. His luck did assert itself, and
at the most opportune time. Was there
ever such a lucky man as Grover Cleve-
land, President of the United States now
and for four years after March next2
