Newell, will read an address on the history of Methodism in that vicinity, commencing with Rev. Wm. Wolcott, it's first pastor, in 1888.

THE RISING OF THE wiho.

THE RISING OF THE WIND. Amid the empty siAeace of the night
 Iheard the western wind arise and creep With breathful lips and 4oot2au swift and light Among low shrubs, and mid tho reeds which
 weep
 Beside tho brook. He touched the tiny waves, Rocking the lilies sleeping in their beds; The flowers know who called them from the cave. Of winter, bending low their gentle heads. Then gathering strength, beneath his feet h'
 bent
 The daisy sheltering ferns, and ran amid The far off leaves, which trembled as he went, Spilling the dew drops in their bosoms hid. And then he rushed along the forest aisles, And evry bough and evry leaf awcke. He shouted loudly down the long dehles And all tho sylvan echoes answering spoke. Around tho gahled house, as ono in rAin. He howled, then fitSul laughed in savage Rlee; Bringing wild naurmurs from the distant plain And hollow echoes from tho raging sea. Then with quick hands before the stars he drew A shifting veil of black and ragged clouda And hid the silver screaming moon from view In thick piled phantaay of ebo0 shrouds- Unchecked. untamed, he ragged below. above. Till the large falling drops of rapid rain Stilled the wild tumult, as the voice of love Claims passion into peace and rest sgaiu.

In the election Of Col. Jol,ey to
represent South Dakota in Congress
the state has fortified itself more
strongly against the receding ebb
ofprosperity and confidence in bust.
ness, that would doubtless have set
in had Smith been elected, than it
could have done in any other way.
You can say what you please about
the feasibility ofthe projects contem-
plated and the remedies for real and
imaginary evils prescribed by the
independent party,i it remains yet to
he accomplished to create confidence
in them by business men. The
success of that party in Kansas last
fall had no stimulating effect on
business in that state, neither would
it have, had that party been SUCCESS
full here. The confidence in S. Da-
kota investments will be increased
at this time when we need the help
of any influence that can give new
impetus to business SO much. His
election just at this time viii have a
greater influence to cause interest to
approximate the 2 per cent advocat-
cd by the independents than all the
legislation hat Mr.. Smith could
bring about in Congress during his
entire term of office, were he elected.

Little Walter Lufkin, the sixteen.
months old son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. d. Lufkin, died last Friday after
a short but painful sickness. The
fatal desease Drain ~feever) has been
lurking in the system for some time,
though without being noticed by
the parents. For a boy less than a
year and a half old he was remark
ably intelligent and the lower part
Of the brain seemed to develop won.
derfully fast,so much so that the up
per part seemed to suffer. aud the
fontanel at the junction oftl,e cranial
sutures had not yet become ossitied
as much as that of his baby brother.
For q month or more he has often
been heard to talk and groan in his
sleep. About a week prior to his
death he caugh cold, which settled
on his stomach and Of course nursed
the seed Of the death that already
seemed to have sprouted, and culmi.
mated as before described.
The remains were shipped to
Faribault, Mimi, the home of the
parents people, and they, with Mr.
Lufkin's brother, accompanied them.
The funeral should have been held
las. Sunday, but owning to a very
serious blunder on the part Of the
railroad officials the remains did
not arrive when they were expected.
Tie relativeslef here Saturday even
ing at 4 o'clock, and Mr.. Gilmore
went along as far as Sioux City,
where all went on board the Sioux
City and Northern train and Mr..
Gilmore saw that the remains were
properly transferred and every thing
in proper shape. The officials said
all would be well without any furth-
er trouble on the part of the relatives,
who occupied a berth in the sleeper.
But when the parents arrived at
their destination She remains were
not there, but had been left in the
trair at the junction where they
should have been transferred onto
the Great Northern road. They
were shipped back to Sioux City
and Mr.. Gilmore, he having left
the other relatives at Sioux City and
had come home, was t~elegraphed to
come and care for them. He had
to go down Sunday and set matters
straight. Such gross neglect on
the part of railroad officials is GER
tainly very reprehensible and de-
serves punishment.
This is a trying Intervention Of
Providence for the parents to bear.
but the hearts of a whole commune
ty expand in sympathy with them.
Father Hines conducted special
church family service at the home
before leaving the residence, none
but the family being present.
