HURON, S. D., Oct. THE annual

n church trial upon its hands h a will
engross more than local attention.
charges have been preferred against
Rev. A. Il. Burrows, IN evangelist, Tor
conduct unbecoming a minister of the
gospel.
Mr.. Burrows enjoys some notoriety
rs n successful preacher and evange-
list, and as such has visited many OF
the larger towns in this part of the
state. During a revival at Gettysburg,
the lively capital of Potter county, the
preacher became overzealous and more
than ordinarily interested in the con
version of a pretty young lady OF that
city. lie talked, quoted scripture n
prayed with her, II at last sue
ceeded in subduing her stubborn will
and getting her to ONE forward. 1t
was then, for JOY over another soul
born into a new life, hat he implanted
q fervent kiss upon the soft check of
the damsel. The lady not Directing to
this familiarity the man of prayer, it is
alleged, repeated the osculatory opera
ton again and again. The young lady
'~'squealed' and soon the whole town
was stirred with indignation. An ex-
PLANTATION was called for and the
preacher acknowledged having COM
mittcd the act, but in doing
SO had only the good of the
lady ut heart and not the least evil
intention or thought toward her was in
his mind, and his friends believe he is
sincere in this statement. In order to
get al the facts the matter was re-
ferred TO n committee of ministers for
investigation. Mr.. Burrows and the
lady each gave their version Of the cpl
sode and after weighing all the evil
dence presented, the verdict was that
the preacher had been ''indiscreet,
but not criminal" This verdict
remains in force until the o n
ference shall pass upon the case.
The affair has caused no small amount
of comment, and has furnished gossip
for more than one community, the
preacher being criticised for his indis-
erection and the lady for telling Of it.
There is a well founded impression
hat the coming investigation will dis
close facts that will eXonerate the
preacher and relieve him from the UNI
fortunate predicament into which he
has fallen.

FOR a PARTY OF SECTIONS.
Lewelling Would Array the Country Against
thu East.

KANSAS CITY. oct. 7.-Goyernor Lew
cling of Kansas passed through this
city, euroute home from the bimetallic
convention at 81. Louis, over which he
presided. His voice is now for a party
OF sections-the west and south against
the east. Governor Lewclling said that
while there was n possibility that the
sentiment manifested at the convention
might influence enough senator's to stand
out to force a compromise. he had no
hope Of such a result. He believed that
Senator Voorhees, bill would become a
law and that within 90 days. afterwards
there would be a conven ton of all the
forces opposed to a single standard held
and a new party formed which would
amount to a political division of the
west and south against the east. 1t
would make no difference to Populists
by what name the new party should be
known, they being after results not
Lonors.
A compromise measure by the present
congress would prevent for n time the
breaking Of the old party ties, but the
new party would be organized sooner or
later. Referring to the future move.
ment of the silver forces the governor
said that the next step would be to call
two conventions, n composed wholly Of
southern men and the other Of Republic
cans of the west and northwest. These
meetings would lead to a convention in
January or February for the foundation
Of the new party.

The Pops's Encyclical.

NEW Yonh. Oct. 5. -Advices from
Rome are to the effect that the pope
has completed the preparations of the
encycllcal upon which he has been en-
gagged for several weeks, and in which
he impresses upon the Christian world
the necessity of earnest devotion TO the
most holy rosary. The document,
it is said, will rank among the
most important issued by the SUI
preine pontitf for many years. 1t is
also announced that the consistory
which was to have been held during
the first week of December has been
indefinitely postponed owing to the
fact that all the documents relating to
matters to be considered by the body,
including those having relation to tho
nomination of archbishops and bishops,
were destroyed in the recent fire in the
palace Caifarelli, and in which the
papal auditor, Archbishop Fausti, had
his office and residence apartments.

VG|LANT WINS THE RACE
The American Yacht Ran in Seven
Minutes Ahead.
Il Was a Beautiful Finish. The valkyrle
Tralled After tbs First Hour.A Great
Throng Creets the Victor and
the vinquished.

HIGHLANDS OF NAvEsINK, n. D., Oct
THE fact that the race Between the
Vigilant and the Valkyrfe ended in q
fiuke was a matter of congratulation to
the many observers who watched the
ace from this point. 1t was the gen
eral opinion that the start should not
have been made under the weather con
ditions prevailing Thursday. Seafar-
ing men say that this is an intcrna-
tional contest to decide the superiority
of one of two classes of boats, and that
a drifting match is no way to arrive at
a decision regarding a boats speed.
Today was the date fixed for the Sec
ond of the series OF five races, but the
cup committee, after conference with
Lord Duuraven, decided that Thurs
DAVIS race should be resailed today.
Therefore the course of today s race Will
be the same as hat sailed Thursday,
that is. fifteen miles TO windward and
return. This with n wind holding from
the same direction, will make the dis
lance to be covered about forty miles,
the extra ten miles being added through
the yachts being compelled to tack.
Fully as large a fleet of excursion and
other boats as were out Thursday sex
pected to follow the racers today and the
early morning indications are that those
aboard of them will see a race worth
looking at.

sfNSoSy W
WASHINGTON, Oct. z. Marcus A.
smith, delegate from Ariz ona, has pre-
pared a strong report to lay before the
committee on territories, in favor of
the admission Of Arizona to the union.
lie says: ARIZONA is the extreme
southwestern political division of the
United Safes. 1t is 37S miles in length
by 800 in width. contains 20, O00, 900
acres, a large part of which is capable
of producing every variety of fruit,
vegetable and cereal known &c the
temperate zone, mines of gold, silver,
copper. iron and coal, ineXhaustible in
extent; lakes of salt, springs of petro-
leum and forests of pine, cedar, spruce,
juniper, ash and oak of as great extent
as any state or territory in the union.
That part lying north of the thirty
fourth parallel, embracing only four
counties, is greater in area than the
six New England states combined.
South of that parallel it is destined to
become the most productive portion of
the globe. Within that area the date,
olive, fig, grape, lime and orange grow
in profusion. Ascending from the
lower valleys every fruit of the tenn
pcrate zone is produced in perfection.
Arizona carries within itself more of
all the Of a great common
wealth than any state or territory OF

He gives a population of more than
100, 900 aside from Indians and $50, 900. =

the richest mineral country in America.
There is no limit to tho yield OF copper
while Of gold and silver there is plenty.
The school system is described as the
most liberal in the United States and
the tax is heavier than that which any
other people bear. Arizona's products

MADRID, Oct. 7.-Ihe Moors have re
appeared before Melilla. During thf
night they cut entertainments along
the crest of the hills at some distance
from the fort, upon Spanish territory.
They have n strong position which
can Se taken only by a charge across
a stretch of open country. AS they are
we'll armed the Spanish will
hardly be able to storm tho
position before receiving large
reinforcements. The strength of their
skirmish parties and the reports of the
Spanish scouts indicate that the total
NJ oorish force is at least Ii, 200. There
was considerable desultory fight
ing during the night. The
iirst shots were fired by the Moors.
Three Moorish spies have been cap
tured. A dispatch from Malaga says
that while the steamship Sevilla which
brought away the wounded from Me-
lila. was proceeding along the coast
she was fired on repeatedly by Moors.
One sailor was wounded. The Sprnish
gunboat Tarifa seized yesterday after
noon a small steamer bound with a
cargo of rifles and -four from Gibraltar
To ports on the Morocco coast. AL
though the vessel was flying the Brit

contraband of war and she
was brought back to- n Spanish port.
The government has requested the gov
crnor of Gibraltar to prevent as far as
possible further attempts to ship arms
To the Moors. The Spanish fleet is now

The Vigilant Is Gaining.

HIGHLANDS OF N~AvEsISK, Oct. 2
1920 p. M.-From present indications it
looks as though it would be a long race.
The Vigilant appears to be picking up
the lost distance and is rapidly gaining
on the Valkyrie. The racers are sailing
almost alone. Scarcely an excur-
sion boat is around them. The police
boat at the head Of the fleet Is doing
excellent work in keeping the course
clear. They are headed more to the
eastward than the racers. The
Vigilant is further to the
eastward than the Valkyrie.
but the latter Is making more south
and is apparently about a sixteenth Of
a mile ahead of the Vigiiant's star
board. The wind where the yachts
are has died away and some of the
schooner yachts following the racers
have taken tow.

OMAHA,O Oct. Tt usedto be 'petered
out, but now it's pulled your pumps,
that's the new expression when your
miue don't pan out, or you quit the
country" said DR.. V. L. McGillycuddy
Of the Black Hills, who stopped over
On his way TO Chicago. The Harvey
Peak company, the great, and you
might say only, tin company of the
Hills has at last pulled its pumps, and
it's like a funeral at Hill City. Nearly
a year ago, after it got its big mill
built, and tested il for a few days, work
in all the mines was closed down, and
the men were discharged. The reason
given was a disagreement between the
English and American stockholders,
and the statement was made that the
Englishmen were dissatisfied with the
way the property had been handled and
refused TO put up any more money.
StW they kept the pumps going. the
pumps to keep the deep mines free from
water, and as long as they did the peo-
Pile hoped that the mines and mill
would start up again. But a few days
ago orders came to pull the pumps
and the whole property, On which sew
eral millions of dollars has been eX-
pended in the last six years, is today
practically abandoned. The company
owned, by location and purchase, over
1,1Oo TIN claims, each 300Xl, 800 feet. 1t
paid from $1,000 to $50, 900 to the pros
pectors and locators for those it pur-
chased and for several years its pay
roll amounted to about $50, 600 a month.
1t also expended and caused to be eX-
pended immense sums for machinery,
mills and railroad spurs to the mines.
What will be the final result? IT. is as
much a mystery today as 1t was five
years ago"

HIGHLANDS OF NAvEsISK, Oct. T.
The Vigilant is leading.
12:26p. m.-The Vigilant has opened n
big gap between herself and Valkyrie
and the crew Of the latter have another
chance TO look over her taffrail and
admire theknet Of the Yankee sails.
At 1890, a{1tttle over Nm hour from the
start, the vigilant had a lead Of nearly
but not quite an eighth Of a mile aud

southcrly and the yachts a w taken in
their spinnakers and jib top sails.
HsaaLASps OF NAvrsIxK, Oct. IT,
The Vigilant has the weather position
on the backing OF the wind. She looks
to be a quarter Of a mile to windward.
The shifting of the wind caused
the yachts 10 reach for tho turning
point. The wind out to sea appears to
be southerly and very light.
1880 p. m.-Vigilant is opening up
the gap more and more. She
appears TO have a lead OF
half a mile. She is so far
ahead Of the Valkyrie that it Is impos-

Sioux FALLS, s. d., Oct. THE
freight schedule on the Great Northern
from Duluth and st. Paul to Yankton
via Sioux Falls over the new line will
be issued in a few days. Much interest
IA felt In the coming schedule as 1t Is
thought that Yankton may be given
the Missouri river rate, being q river
point, and in that event Sioux Falls,
being the shorter haul, would of neces-
sity be given the rate. So far only the
local rates on wheat, coal and lumber
to certain points On the new road have

fifteen to twenty cars of freight per
day are handled on the new road. Much
wheat Ia now being shipped from points
