THE TRAMP TROUBLES.
The Present Laws Need Amendment I'm
some Particulars.

The Present Laws Need Amendment In
somc Particulars.
That the present agitation regarding
the commitment of tramps from the
country towns TO the state workhouse is
due 10 the bad working of the tramp law
is evident When it Is seen that the
commitment OF n tramp TO the STATE in
stitution not only saves the town the en-
tire expense, but S. into the pockets of
the officer who commits him, 10 is very
easy to understand that the law is liable
TO be abused. The tramp law was passed
at the time when the tramps were ter
rorizing the country districts, and as
there are really very few actual tramps
at present In the STATE IL is time that
something was done in the matter OF
amending the laws so rs To stop this
abuse.
A man was brought before Judge
Warner OF Kent county day or two
since charged with being tramp, but
he showed hands that were calloused
with hard work, and when asked how
| long IL would take TO get out of the state.
| he said Just "a soon AS he could walk out
| he would do 80. His case was continued
| for week. and IN he Is not committed
| the officer who arrested him will bs
| obliged TO pay costs III there were more
| cases like this the officers would be more
certain before they charged anyone with
being tramp.
| The city OF Providepce takes care oi
the unfortunates who lodge over night nj
the stations, making them work for thei
| breakfast, but the country towns have nc
such provision aud IL Is perhaps natura
that they should be glad TO SHIFT the re
sponsibility and expense to the state.

missions is always an important one, but
especially at this time when so great
efforts are made TO raise funds for mis-
sion work. Tue saving OF America TO
the cause of Christ is as important as the

When we consider the place that
America is To- take among the nations OF
the earth, we realizs that great effort
must be made IN belalf of home missions
In America the grea problem or man is
to bs tested and solved. Tue mastery Of
the world is to rest on these shores. IL
America Is To be lost TO Christ then the
world is helpless and hopeless. 1t is a
small part OF my duty TO be saved. IL
America is not held for the gospel and
missions. the world may well despair

themselves alone. America is the chosen

The following sermon delivered by
Rev. A. J. Pike gives comprehensive
review Of the church and its work and
will be read with interest, as a valuable
contribution to local history:
Rev. c. S. Harrison worked some time
on the field prior to the Indian outbreak
in 1868 but did not organize church.
After the close Of the war there were no
Congregational or Presbyterian services
attempted here till the year 1866. In
that year Rev Mr.. Rulofson, Presbyter-
ian agent for the state sent student 20
labor here by the name of Cutler. But
some of the people not. being satisfied
with things as they were, petitioned Rev.
Richard Hall who was then superintend-
ent of the Congregational work in the
state to send them a Congregational
minister Accordingly he proposed to
Rev. A. X. Fox who had been preaching
at Monticello to visit the field with a
view to its occupation. But as he was
about to start the Presbyterian Super
1ntendent protested against his com =.
claiming that they intended to occupy
the field. Mr.. Fox however came upon
the field and the result was consider
able contention between himself and
Rev. Evans who soon came upon the
field as Presbyterian minister. The only
place where public services could be held
was shanty which had been used as a
hospital for soldiers. building that was
not plastered and there was not always
perfect agreement in regard to who
should have the priority IN making ap-
pointments. During the year 1867 two
houses of worship were erected on Main
street nearly opposite each other. The
one erected by the Presbyterians, and
which with it's improvements is now
used as the Congregational church, cost
ing nearly or quite twice as much as the
one erected by the Congregationalists.

Mr.. Evans had left and Mr.. Fox was
about leaving on account Of poor health.
found a Congregational church of
about twenty-four members and con-
gregation of forty to seventy-ive. The
site upon which the town wac built was
an open prairie, the sloughs were all full
of water and this was covered with
water fowl. Deer were then plenty in
the neighboring woods and sometimes
ran through the village; and bear were
killed Just across the river. Indians
dressed with their moccasins, blankets
and feathers were frequent visitors to
the village. And those extinct vehicles,
Red River carts, made entirely of wood
and green hide drawn by a single OK
came in long trains to the village. Peo-
pie were not so particular in regard to
their dress and equipment of their
homes as at The present time, and many
wonld come to church, especially at the
evening service, in the same clothes in
which they worked during the week.

at Moorhead and nearly seven now at
Crookston. Moorhead was then tent

listened to the gospel from his lips that
winter. But Sank Centre was his first
pastorate and, has ever had a warm
place in his affection. After these pas,

the main by Mrs. ]. L. Robbins ON the
Ladies' SocietyIwas read by Mrs. Blu
