Rev. 3. S. Taylor, the half-crazy evan

upon community Of people to such an
extent that the stern hand of the law
has threatened to take him in charge.
His last pulpit escapade at St. Charles
Ia, is succinctly told in the following
kilograms to the ST Paul and Minneapolis
papers:
ST. CHARLES. Ia., June 10 |Speciali-
B. S. Taylor, the revivalist, holding
camp meeting here, came near being
mobbed and having his tent cut down
over his head. He has been using pretty
strong Language, bordering strongly upon
vulgarity, If not obscenity. Today sorne
ladies left the tent while he was preach
ing, and he made some remarks which
were deemed insulting. Tonight mob
Of rs or LOO gathered around threw clubs
and stones At the tent, cut some OF the
ropes, and would have torn it down had
not the police interfered. He will have to
leave tomorrow or be mobbed.
ST. Charles, June lib. S. Taylor, a
reviyalist from North Dakota, who has
been holding a camp meeting under the
auspices of the NJ. Z. church, was ordered
this morning by the city council to leave
at once. Hepacked his tent just in sea
son to escape the vengeance Of mob
that gathered at the depot with cluos,
stones and rotten eggs. j. +. Chatfee,pre-
siding elder. forbade his speaking again
in his district.
Pioneer Press special: His sermons
had been little but repetition of vul-
garity slang and obscenlty, spiced with
insulting remarks made about good, re-
spectacle people, who, becoming disgust
ed, arose to leave. He finally brought
things to a climax by remarking. when
half-dozen OF our most respected young
ladies, becoming disguised with his filthy
talk about adulteresses, lusts and lewd
ness, arose and left the tent: There

4. Boom Dying Out.

John S. Watson returned this morning
from three weeks trip to the coast
points and the interior cities of Washing
ton, Oregon, Montana and Idaho. He
finds that the tales Of no work for the
men already there are true, and thinks
that the country is no place for the far
mer There is no good market for his
produce, and the grain, such as wheat,
&C., has always, until lately, been known
there as "hog feed," on account Of its
poor qualities. Mr.. Watson found many
Seattle people living in tents, doing bus
mess in temporary quarters. The rumor
that the fire would furnish plenty of
work for idle men in rebuilding, has
succeeded in flooding the city with thous-
ands, glad of any chance to get employ
ment at most any wages. The supply of
laborers is much greater than even the
extraordinary demand.
The real estate business, he thinks, has
about reached the limit of forced values,
and although Spokane still presents
some examples OF fictitious prices IN the
sales of realSy,in most Of the other places
values are settling back to their normal
condition. Mr.. Watson is satisfied to
stay with North Dakota, ard believes we
have as good a country and as fine pros
poets as any he has visited. NIr. Wells,
who accompanied him, is looking up the
wheat question more fully at Portlan d.
and is expected home next week.

THE YELLOW GARTER.
They All Wear One just Above the

They All Wear One just Above the
Left Knee---Why They Do SO.
New York Sun: The very latest and
funniest whim is the wearing Of the yell
low garter. Just one garter, not two, you
understand, and it must be worn just
above the left knee, The other stocking
may be wrinkled discoDsolately oyer the
shoe top.or be fastened in place by any one
or all Of the mysterious devices known
only to the initiated, but tie left one is
held firmly by a band Of yellow silk elias
tic, with a ribbon rosette of the same
shade, and the correct and proper thing
is to wear it night and day for six
months.
The yellow garter origin is shrouded
in murky uncertainty, but its signifca-
tion is known to every girl who possesses
it, and this is its charm: Any girl who
wears yellow garter above her left knee
is sure to be engaged in less than six
months. The garter must be given to
her by friend; she must not make or
bny it; and it has never been known to

the owner was wearing It on the wrong
extremity. or rather, the right one in
stead of the left.
Just wherein lies it's potency belongs
to the enthics of the esoterics OF girihood,
but the girls all wear them. The slim
slips of girls who want to be engaged
just for fun, though they aren't halt old
enough to be married; tie bright, clever
girl, as sweet and spicy and wholesome
as carnations, who have career before
them, and say they wouldn't marry the
best man in the world; the hopeless girls
that have tried everything else. you
know. and are accustomed to failures;
the sweet hearted, womanly girls. who
are waiting like Marina in the moated
grange, and signing because ''he cometh
not,'' and the naughty, witching girls,
who could marry every fellow IN the
market if they we're not so sort of be-
wildering that no one quite dares ask
them, and the shy girls who hide the
yellow band from their very best friends
and think of it when they say their
prayers, all waiting for some brave
knight of the garter to help them solve
the problem concerning the success or
failure Of the time honored institution
which is causing SO much controversy at
present-all wear the yellow garter.

Masonic Division.

Sioux Falls Press: The division OF the
Masonic grand lodge of Dakota into the
grand lodges of North Dakota and South
Dakota respectively, which took place
at Mitchell, is described as having been
a most affecting incident. There is in
the Masonic organization a feeling OF
close fraternity which binds the members
of any jurisdiction nearer than citizen
ship in the same common wealth, and the
division of this grand lodge was the
breach of ties which are lis strong as can
we'll exist among men. The ceremonies
brought tears to the eyes OF many OF
those who witnessed them. The divi-
sion of the assets had been made, North
Dakota, with twenty-three subordinate
lodges, taking one-third and South
Dakota, with seventy-six lodges, taking
two thirds. The respective organi-
cations then arranged themselves on
either side Of the grand lodge
room, and both advancing to the
middle of the hall, each officer and
member clasped the hand OF the brother
opposite him and said goodbye, and the
grand lodge of the territory became the
grand lodges Of tho two states. The
Jewels of the officers had been divided IN
the business proceedings, but for the for
nal division of the body these had been
distributed promiscuonsly to the officers
of the new bodies, and motion was
made and carried unanimously by the
South Dakota members that those
jewels worn by the North Dakota officials
should be retained by them. This was
tho climax of the affecting occasion, and
the North Dakota brethren felt anew the
ting OF the bond which had been broken
The entire affair was characterized by
intense feeling among all the members

Water Motors

The people Of jamestown do not fully
realize the Importance of our artesian
water supply and they are long way
from utilizing it as extensively and as
practically as they can. At lankton
and various South Dakota cities where
they have artesian wells, water motors
are rapidly dlsplacing steam engines as
means of furnishing power to run
machinery. There is no question but
that the pressure OF the jamestown we'll
could be similarly utilized. To illustrate
the workings of the water motor and as
an example of what it can do Alderman
Eager has tapped the main and placed
a small one in his Office, where it can be
seen at any time, furnishing power to
run a sewing machine with which it Is
connected. The power of the motor,
which is small one, is about equal to
running two sewing machines. The
quantity of water which it takes to run
it is very small, probably between one
and two quarts minute.
