The Epworth League Entertainment

The Epworth League entertain
ment at the college chapel last
evening was a grand success all
through. A large and enthusi-
astic audience filled the chapel
and listened to as fine an enter
tainment as has been given in the
college hall since its dedication.
Every person whose name ap-
peared on the program filled the
part assigned in an able and in
teresting manner. Miss Della
Smith vice-president of the de-
partment of literary work and en-
tertainment presided and con-
Quoted the exercises with becom-
ing grace and dignity.
The entertainment was opened
by a piano solo, Gripping Thro'
the Meadows, by Alma Lampert,
which was executed with her we'll
known skill and was highly ap-
preciatcd by the audience. John
M. Henton delivered the opening
address on the work of the League;
its constitution and object. His
address was fine exposition of the
object and purpose of the league.
The speaker was very clear and in
a most interesting manner set
forth the workings of the league.
this was followed by a vocal solo
by Mrs. Dora Stinson, the whilom
professor of music in the college,
and she sang "He was Prince,
which was heartily enjoyed by the

suaoI beats Maud $.

Maud S. ls no longer queen OF trot-
ters, Sunol went a mile in 2:0S4 at
Stockton, CAL, yesterday. beating the
phenom,nal time made by Maud S. at
Cleveland in 1885 by just half a second.
Six timers caught exactly the same
notch, so that there is no disputing the
record. As gait of 2:Os4 means a
fraction over 40 feet per second,
Maud S. has been beaten by 20 feet
which would be quito gap in a race.
Allerton, Nancv Hanks, Nelson and
Sunol have been crowd;ng the Maud
s. record so closely this summer that
turfmcn have freely predicted that it
would be equaled or lowered before
the close of this season. 1t is not yet
time, however, to look for two minute
trotting. lthas taken six years to
lower the record a half second; it may
require 96 years to erase the remaining
eight and one fourth seconds.-Ainae-
apolis Tribune.
The October number of the North
western; Progress very pertinently says:
Each northwestern state should
have some organized plan for adver-
tising resources and working to So
cure immigration. A state immigra-
tion Office ought to be maintained in
every state at public expense, but in
states where legislatures have refused
to make provisions for such an Office,
an association of business men from
all parts of the state should be formed
for systematic work. Such an associ-
alton should MAINTAIN an Office at
at some point with paid secretary
in charge, who would really perform
all the duties of commissioners of
immigration. There never was as
good time to do really effective worl,
for the state as the present and the
near future. First get the tide started
this way, then localities can vie with
each other as to which shall receive
the greatest benefit.

iermoSa fllot: 1t WOODS the demo-
cratic nominee for congress, stands on
the democratic platform, as he says he
does, he is opposed to the tin tariff and
therefore opposed to the leading indus
try Of the Black Hills, and an industry
that promises to e1pend more capital,
and give employment to more men
than all other enterprises combined.
Do Black Hills people want to vote for
him? Hardly. People generally work
for their own interests. This being the
case, do not vote for Woods simply be.
cause he lives in the Hills. He is anti
tin protection.
There is very little excitement at
tending the political campaign this
year. The democrats have no hopes, the
independents are just as despondent,
while the republicans are sure Of sue
cess. A somewhat livelier campaign
was anticipated when it came to the
commiss,onersbip, but the republican
candidate, A. B. Connor, stands SO
far ahead of his oponent that it seems
impossible to create ripple of excite
ment. Both candidates are good men,
but all republicans should stand by the
party and vote for A. B. Connor.

Animal 0dor.

There is a great deal of talk among
dairyman about the animal odor in
milk. We have always noticed that
there was a great deal more Of it in
winter than in summer. Perhaps
the following from the Farming
World, of Edinburg, Scotland, will
throw some light on the subject;
eff one will test the milk of cows
kept in filthy barns, and upon whose
sides filth is permitted to collect in
adherent flakes, in this way,the foul
ness will be very apparent. This
oder has been called sometimes the
"nimal odor, and has been thought to
be inseparable from a cow This is
wholly untrue. 1t is the odOr of filth
which has every characteristic of ma
nure, and which is discharged with
the milk because it could not escape
through the skin, which is the natur1
al outlet for it, and by which il
would escape freely and impercepti-
bly, if the skin were kept clean and in
heathful action by means Of thorough
grooming every day"
Good ventilation of stables will
help in the matter.

they placed themselves alongside their
companion. The fakir, still playing on
his flute, led the way to the door and the
snakes followed him. He paused at the
threshold and they reared their heads in
anger. Just as was beginning to get
nervous another fakir crept up behind
them and cut their heads off with sharp
sword which he carried.
"Now have no other explanation for
this trick than that the snakes were
trained to wind themselves around the
bodies Of the men underneath the breech
clout. When they entered my apartment
my attention was attracted to the spokes-

one OF the ann0yanceS OF business
men is the "trade dollar" says the
Kansas City Star. A man will come
In hurriedly, make a purchase, and
throw down disc ofsilver that looks
and rings like u dollar. After he is
gone the merchant finds a "trade dol
lar" in his till, and it has tendency
to make him irritable.
The trade dollar was commercial
convenience when first coined, but 1t
is now commercial nuisance. In 1873
the trade dollar was issued for pur>
poses of trade with China and other
Asiatic countries. Before that time
Americans had been buying Mexican
dollars and shipping them to the
orientals in payment Of merchandise.
The trade dollar was never intended
for circulation in this country, but
for expectation abroad. For FIVE
years they were coined and largely
used. The act authorizing their coin
age repealed the act authorizing the
coinage of the standard dollar, thus
making them for time the only dol
lar coins issued by the United States.
The merchants might as well have
used silver bars for Eastern trade,
but it was thought that the stamp OF
the government certifying that 42O
grains of silver 800 fine would give
other countries greater confidence
than to use simple bars of silver un-
stamped and uncertified. From
1873 to 1875 they were not legal ten
der, but it is the opinion of eminent
lawyers that the 100000 already
coined were legal tender, while those
coined after 1876 were not. Their
coinage was discontinued Feb. %
1878, up to which time there had
been 35,959,360 coined. The exact
value of the trade dollar now is n
cents, although people get as much
more than that for them as they can
Feb. 10, 1887, an act was passed by
Congress authorizing the redemption
of trade dollars for six months, dollar
for dollar. At that time statistician'
estimated that there were about
100000 in the country. AS 1885,
036 were redeemed it is probable tha
there are not many now in thu
United States, although they do no
command a premium as rarities.
Like all the other coins of value
the trade dollar has been counterfeit
ed, most of the counterfeits being
made of type metal and circulated il
China, Japan and the East Indies
The inhabitants of the East hav'
learned to be wary and watchfu
when handling coins that come from
the occident. Most of of the trad
dollars that went to the Easter
countries were melted and recoineC
in the currency of the orient. Th
trade dollar contains four more grain
of silver than the standard dollar
and has eight one-thousandths tn
less of alloy.
