AT Coal Greek continues. The firing on

about the long-impendIng crisis. Camp
Anderson's telegraph operator. Mad

ped by the miners some days ago
that the troops and conyicts would
have to 60 when the leaves came out. All

The mines pay on to-day. and the troops
will also get their monthly allowances.
This means lively time for the miners,
and the troops fear another conflict.

Rev. A M. Work breaches an Able Ser
mon to the Odd Fellows.
As was previously announced the
members OF Brookines Lodge No. 40
/. o. o. F., to the number of about
forty attended the Presbyterian
church last Sabbath. At 10 O'Clock
the line was formed at Odd Fellows
hall and marched to the church where
front seats had been reserved for the
fraternity.
Rev. 4. M. Work addressed the
brethren OF the order, taking "char.
acter" as his theme. He spoke of the
origin OF Oddfellowship, it's history
and emphasized the thought that it
was the character OF men who made
eminent the position and not the
position which made the man. His
words were we'll chosen and COM
mandsd the earnest attention of all
present and We regret not having space
to reproduce the sermon in our
columns. The choir sang their sweet
est songs and the tenor solo by Mr..
c. Y. Bennett was q rare treat. 1t
was q pleasant and profitable occa-
sion to the members of the "three
link" order of this city and was q fit
of the 73rd anniver-
sary OF Oddfello wship in the United
States. At the regular meeting of the
lodge last Monday night q vote was
taken thanking Rev. A. M. Work and
the society OF the Presby terian church
for their kindness and the sincere
hospitality extended.

The Family Scrap Basket

No man ever loved a woman while
he was busy.
No man can be hero when his liver
is out of order.
The hardest headed man was born
with soft spot.
It is not always the man who looks
like fool who is one.
1t is hard to find fault with people
who think just as we do.
1t is gentle manners which prove so
irresistible to women.
The ugly temper OF pretty woman
always shows through.
We find happiness while we are pur-
suing it and lose it after we reach it..
1t takes some people long while to
find out that poor health is not re.
ligion.-Good Housekeeping.

Delegates Selected.

The Central Dakota Presbytery
closed a two.day's profitable meeting
at Volga last Wednesday. The at.
tendance was the largest in the his
tory OF the presbytery, and one OF the
largest ever held in South Dakota.
There was a spirited contest ever the
choice of delegates to the Presbyterian
general assembly, which occurs in
Portland, Or. next month, the nonors
finally falling to Rev. w. J. Hill OF
Huron and Elder !. G. Allison of
White. A special m Getting of the pres
bytery will be held at Pierre on June
20. when arrangements will be made for
the next regular meeting, and matters
pertaining to the Pierre university
will be discussed.

VERY THANKFUL.
Appreciate the Kindness Shown
by Americans

Russians Appreciate the Kindness Shown
by Americans.
Mr. Smith the American minister to
Russia, and Mrs. Smith have been
busy filling social engagements since
their arrival in New York. In an in
terview With Mr.. Smith last Friday
he said: cit is impossible for Ameri-
cans to realize how much all Russians,
from car down, appreciate the Ameri-
can relief donations which are practic-
ally the only foreign assistance SO far
received. America has given over
100000 roubles IN food and money.
We have paid much attention to
Samara, where the famine is the worst.
From that quarter Of the empire l
have just received q report that we
have saved the cattle and horses Of
100 German colonies and Russian
villages, are feeding 200 people and
have bought seed tor 19, 600 acres. As
for the future, with the relief in sight
from America and q continuance oi
local relief, i think the necessities of the
distressed human beings will be pro.
vided for Through the summer. The
gre atest pro blem at present is the re.
stocking of farms and the furnishing
OF seed. One point the outside world
has failed to recognize is the great
work done by the Russians themselves
IN helping the peasantry. Several
aristocratic families are taking the
sole care OF enormous numbers OF
destitute people, and many women in
in the highest St. Petersburg society
have gone to the provinces and estab-
lished immense soup kitchens"

TOWN IMPROVEMENTS.
Another Point Which Should be Carefully
Considered.
POINTIu.

POINTIu.
Since my last article have learned
that Hon. G. A. Mathews was the
pioneer In the matter OF introducing
tree planting in this city. As q
member of the common council, he
introduced g. resolution on April 20,
1882, making it mandatory to plant
shade trees along the street lines OF
such residence lots as were being i'm.
proved. II the council at that time
could in q sense compel tree planting
why could not our present council
legislatc in regard to vacant lots whore
the side walks are extended? II they
nave no power to compel this under
the head of street improvements let
them encourage tree culture by
bounties, or, by the remission Of q
proportion of the taxes after the
manner of some of the state or terri.
torial laws. Let US have few more
trees and in few more years our
town will be exempt from many OF
the chill blasts of winter.
We have one OF the prettit st if not
the prettiest school building in the
state but it looks like it took a
supreme effort to finish it and there
was nothing left to expend upon the
yard. Unsightly holes and ridges
we're left in removing the old buildings
and in the piling up of waste dirt.
The ground is in good condition for
working these down now and for
starting ornamentations that would
be in keeping with such splendid ex-
ample of school house architecture.
There Is plenty OF room for play areas
and for few groups OF trees. Then
the walks might be arranged in pleas
ing curves rather than in the conven-
tional straight lines SO common in the
Brookings idea OF landscape garden.
ing. presume that it would be diff.
cult to deny pedestrians of what they
consider a western prerogative. that
OF walking across lots but the insight
