The Meetings.

The evangelistic services which
have been anticipated for some weeks,
began last Saturday afternoon. Rev.
ii. w. Brown, of Morgan Park, Ill.,,
Ca vigorous suburb Of Chicago with
Mrs. DemOrest and Miss Brown Ga
daughter of the evangelist as singing
helpers, were present.
The very first service indicated the
strong personality of the evangelist
his conservation to his work, his
determination to leave nothing un-
done to make both saint and sinners
feel the Qecd Of the gospel as saving
and satisfying power. Like all men
who have been successful in their
work. he gives evidence of the fact in
his form of address, in his appeal to
men, in his personal references. His
illustrations, while numerous and
often amusing, some times abrupt
and inelegant-frOm an eSthetic
standpoint, are forceful and appre-
ciated. Sabbath night the house was
crowded to the limit of its capacity
probably four hundred and fifty. and
each evening service since has been
well attended. The afternoon Bible
readings-held at the Baptist church
have not been so largely attended but
have been full Of interest. The oppor-
tunity given at these afternoon SER
vices for a deeper insight to the Word
and for an Interchange of views on
vital questions makes them very
profitable to christian people and no
one should fail to attend them. Mr..
Browns famous "Devil Sermon"
Monday night is the keynote to his
public addresses thus far, i. e., every
man is under the leadership Of God or
| the deyil-One or the other.
Mrs. DemOrcSt and Miss Brown have
| delighted us with their modest rendi-
tiOn of tender. sacred and sOul-Stirring
music. BrOOkingS never enjoyed such
an opportunity as is now presented.
Come thou with us and we will do
thee good, for the Lord has spoken
good concerning Israel"

! The singers Of Madison, Mimi, and
Watertown, returned to-day from the
semi-annual concert of the Western
Lutheran Choral Union, held at
Brookings Friday and Saturday last.
The union, which was organized last
fall in this city by the WatertOwn,
Madison and BrOOkingS chOirs, COM
prising in all forty members, has
more than trebled as it now consists
Of nine chOirs with total member
ship Of one hundred and fifty voices.
The sangerfest was a grand success,
and the singers returned much inspir-
ed and ready to resume the work so
earnestly begun. The next sanger
fest will be held in Madison, Mimi,
on the 14th and 18th of November.
The officers of the union are: Prof.
O. Lokensgard of Madison, president,
who is also president of the Madison
Lutheran normal school; DR.. n. Mel
son, Dawson. viCe-prcSident: Rev. r.
Norman, WatcrtOwn, secretary: Geo.
Rude. BrOOkingS, treasurer; Mr.. Otto
Hagen, WatcrtOwn. musical director.
The society is to be congratulated
upOn the success which has attended
it's efforts thus far, and it is but
rejecting the sentiment of the friends
of the members to say that there is no
doubt as to its future.-PubliC

FLAX AND WOOL INDUSTRY.
How a Continuance of the Mckinley
Tariff Would Help 1t in South Dakota.

How Continuance of the Mckinley
Tariff Would Help 1t i'm South Dakota.
The valleys of South Dakota pro-
duce the finest flax straw in the world,
and il the duty is retained 1,000,OOO
more acres, irrigated by these marvel
Gus wells, will produce all the materi-
al for all the linen used by our people,
and the power produced by the pres
sure Of their flow will drive the ma
chinery to make it into the finished
product. Stimulated by the duty i'm
posed by the present law, American
ingenuity discovered the process by
which flax straw, which has been
heretofore raised for the seed and con-
sidered valueless, can be made into
the finest fibre, can Ee retted in
twcnty-four hours and Scutched by
machinery. In Europe this work re-
quires weeks of time and much labor.
Retain the present duty and South
Dakota will furnish you your sugar
and your linen, and the valley Of the
James will be a teeming hive of in
dustry and wealth, such as the world
never saw before. Why should these
grand resources of nature 60 undevel-
Oped? why should we buy of Others
when we can increase our wealth and
happiness by doing the work our
selves? What we want is to retain
the duty upon fax fibre and linen,
and in ten years we will export these
articles. American genius has made
start; and the problem is solved, and
machinery will soon do the work of
the hand Of man in the probation OF
linen at half the present cost.
Mr.. President, [ am not going into
the discussion Of the wool question,
but | wish to say that no person can
represent the people of South Dakota
more than one term in congress who
votes to destroy the flOcks Of sheer
in that state. In 1890 there were 1885,
600 sheep in SouthDakOta; today there
are $4,000. Stimulated and encOur
aged by the tariff act Of 1890, our peo
pie increased their foCkS and were
prosperous, but the blighting curse OF
democratic victory iD 1892 destroyed
two-thirds Of their property; and the
sheep industry without protection
must be abandoned IN South Dakota

Medical Vegetables

Vegetables have direct effects upon
the human system and often combine
rare curative powers. Spinach affords
relief in kidney trouble, and the COM
mon dandelion, used as greens, is eX-
cellcnt for the same thing. Aspara-
gus purgeS the blood. Celery acts adj
mirably upon the nervous system and
is a cure for rheumatism and neural
gia. Tomatoes act on the liver.
Beets and turnips are excellent ap-
pctizers. Lettuce and cucumberS are
cool in their effect upon the system
Onions, garlic, leCks, olives and shall
OTIS possess medical virtues of marked
character, stimulating the circulatory
system, and the consequent increase
of saliva and gastric juice promote
digestion.
Red onions are an excellent diuretiC
and the white onion are recommended
to be eaten raw as a remedy for insom
MIA. A soup made from onions is re-
garded by the French as restorative
in weakness of the digestive organs

power to act.

through said Tinker as its agent.
A. G. Young as one of committee
appointed by the w. G. T. U. Ia few
gentlemen, of whom he was one, be-
ing admitted to the order as honorary
members to investigate the report, or
supposition, that the council was aid
ing the cause of intemperance by al
lowing neglect of duty on the part OF
city officers in enforcing the law
against "bOotleggers' and other
viOlatOrs, calling attention to the
drunkenness seen on May 17th, was
heard. He was assured that the coun-
Gil desired to punish all violators of
law and would insist upon due vigil
ance on the part Of the marshal to
this end; that violations of city ordin-
ances was one thing and violation of
state law another. Mr.. Young, on
behalf of the w. G. Il. u, said that
he was glad to retract the accusations
against the council, if not true.
E. G. Davis requested that he be
relieved from duty as city engineer
until Thursday, he having secured the
services of H. e. Gaylord to act for
him in his absence.

The same sentiment was reiterated by
E. o. Hetherington and other promi.
nent business men who have had long
continued dealings with Mr.. Ellifritz.
What has become of him none can
tell. But that he is the victim of some
sad misfortune there can be no reason
doubt.
1t has been suggested that for many
years he has been subject to intense
headaches, during which he sometimes
loses all idea of his own identity and
whereabouts. A faint hope is enter
tanned that his absence may prove to
have been caused by this trouble.
He is not dissipated and has no bad
habits, and his disappearance cannot bt
laid to any causes of that nature.

A Good Speech.

In reporting K. of P. banquet at
Mt. Sterling, the Tribune of that city,
says:
The address of the evening was de-
livered by Hon. H. D. Davis, of Hills.
boro, mayor of the city and promin-
ent Knight and lawyer. His address
was eloquent, and better, interesting.
He dwelt principally upon the teachings
and principles Of the order as set forth
in the motto, Friendship, Charity and
Benevolence. And if any one had a
feeling that there is no real good in the
workings of this order he certainly
changed his mind before the address
closed. One of Mr.. Davis principal
points was that the secret orders and
the churches 60 hand in hand in their
good work; and another that no foreign
foe can ever successfully invade our
country so long as our young aud infu-
entail men are 30 thoroughly organized
in the orders. He also spoke feelingly
of the noble work of the brethren in
caring for the sick, distressed or needy,
especially when among strangers, saying
that no member of this order in good
standing was ever known to ask public
charity.

what on the sidewalk. The work OF
