WAS at a Premium
1t seemed as though nearly every
body was bent on attending the chry-
sauthemum show Thursday night.
Unfortunately he building was limited
to the number of people it would con-
tain and it appeared as if the limit was
exceeded two or three times. The
people were content to stand up through
the entire evening, and wherever you
stopped there you stayed until the
crowd commenced to thin out toward
the latter part of the evening. The
Russian and German booths had TO
suspend business operations and the
tables were pushed aside to accommo-
date the people but later in the even
ing they were able 10 resume business
operations The musical program did
not begin until long after the appointed
hour and then it was with great diff

The numbers on the program were con

gave piano solo, Miss Caddie Boggs

The subject Discussed by John kemshuug
Thursday f.y. ming.
The lecture given by John Remsburg
at the court house Thursday evening
was quite we'll attended, notwithstand-
ing the other attractions, for the same
evening. Chas Weller Introduced the
speaker who began by saying that we
all entertain diversity of opinions on
any subject. He Stated that his lecture
was not atheistic but that he simply
wished to expose the "False Claims Of
the Church, The church claims to
have brought about the present state of
civilization. Three historians disproye
it. The civilization OF today does not
surpass that of ancient Greece. If not
for prejudice the Christian could see
that our civilization is not due to the
church. The world has civilized the
church. Where theology has declined
civilization has advanced. Ignorance
has alway novered around the cross.
The church has opposed every new
scientific truth. Calico, Capernicus
church. The church boasts of learn
y
so long as she can manage them.
Scarcely a truth is expressed in the
Bible that has not been tanght by pa
gan moralists, The golden rule was
| taught by ten men before uttered by
Jesus Christ. Christianity does not
4 favor morality. 1t teaches the deprav-
ity Of human nature which tends to de-
moralize character The speaker ridi-
culed the idea of forgiveness for sin.
| We must pay the penalty for sin.
Heaven is said to be place of reward
| for believing: hell a punishment for
disbelieving. Wesley said, 'the doc
trine OF salvation by works we abhor
we neither believe it nor teach it,
Charity is not confined to Christian
ity. The speaker then named various
intidels who had done charitable deeds
and then reviewed religious persecu-
tions of past ages. The church does
not kill now because it has not the
power. The speaker then attempted
to show how the church had opposed
all efforts to abolish slavery, how the
Christians opposed Garrison, Phillips
and Smith. He then spoke of the at
titude of the Methodist church on the
subject Of slavery. He ridiculed the
idea of the Bible teaching temperance
and said from Genesis to Revelation is
wine, wine, wine.
He then named nearly all of Ameri
cas- great men, especially the fathers
Of the Republic, as intidels or unbe-
levers. Washington was never knowr
to utter prayer. He ended by saying
that he hoped the people would soot
learn that priesthood is q craft ant
priests are class who are preying OF
humanity and filling the land will
crime and SllOerStitiOn.
The speaker endeavored to cover to-
much ground in his lecture which pre-
vented him from celebrating on SOM
ideas that needed explanation, ant
some of his assertions were overdrawn
yet he challenged contradiction an
offered to produce indisputable proc
for all his statements.

OF the present generation to lay the
foundation for the transformation and
pave theway for future generation to
complete the reformation.
Mr.. Ambrose is a pleasant entertain
ing speaker and while not particularly
gifted as an orator yet he easily held
the attention of the audience through
out his discourse. He is intensely
earnest in his talk and the elucidation
of his ideas bear greater fruit on ac-
count of that same earnestness.

NYas II Grand Success
show.

Whore all was light and beauty,
fragrance where the odors Of Russian
tea and sauer kraut wed with other
for supremacy, where friends cOngre-
gated and discussed the flowers and
ighborhood topics, and where the
Ladies Cemetery Association made a
good sum of money for their future use,
nothing now remains but the bare walls
and the memory Of two days Of enjoy
ment.
The ladies worked hard to make
their first chrysanthemum show sue
cess and we don't believe there is a
person in town but who will agree with
the statement that it was a great sue
cess. 1t was matter OF prid with
them, aside from the financial view,
that the affair should be successful and
there was no labor too arduous. no task
| too burdensome but what there we're
plenty of willing hands to perform it.
| There is one characteristic feature
about the Mitchell ladies-what they
attempt TO do they accomplish, as was
strongly evidenced during the two
years of corn palace history.
The two booths-the Russian anc
German-were very attractive feature:
and at all times of the day and evening
the managers were busy dispensing
their refreshments and through which
channels the financial receipts were
largely increased. Mrs. J. D. Ander
son and Mrs. Geo. H. Rev presided
over the Russian booth, and Mrs. Jos
Levinger, Mrs. E. F. Winsor, Mrs. ]
E. Gilbert and Mrs. ]. J. Hough wer,
attendants at the German booth. Th
menu in each booth was well gotten VI
and served in an excellent manner.
The Mitchell Greenhouse made
magnificent display of chrysanthemum
and other flowers, the varieties of eac
being quite numerous. AT the closin
hours the sale of flowers was mad
quick as everybody wanted to carr
home souvenir of the first chrysa1
themum show. The Greenhouse
about one of the finest in the state,
having been largely increased thi

Haven't Left South Dakota.

EDITOR CAPITAL-Having been in
formed that some one has been kind
enough to put in the paper that my
husband and 1 have skipped the coun-
try and do not intend coming back, l
wish to state through your paper that
as we have no money belonging to any
one else, and having committed no
crime that we know Of. and as our home
and family and all of our possessions
are still in South Dakata l do not see
why anyone should spread such re-
port. Perhaps they may be called on
to explain how they got their informa-
tion. DR.. Crane can tell the people
that he advised my husband to take me
away for change thinking it might be a
benefit to me, and as | was not able to
travel alone my husband came with
me and is visiting relatives and friends
that he had not seen for twenty-seven
years and is enjoying it very much:
but assure you, Mitchell people will
see him before long if nothing uniore-
seen happens.
Yours respectfully,
MRS. J. E. GREEN.

Geo. Schlund Returns From Arkansas Af-
ter an Absence of Six Weeks.
Six weeks ago Thursday Geo.
Schlund and family started overland
with we'll equipped teams and wagons
for the mecca Of Arkansas, whose
glories as an agricultural state had
been shown up to him in brilliant col
ors. 1t took MIR. Schlund about three
weeks to get enough of Arkansas and
himself and family arrived in Mitchell
Thursday afternoon bag and baggage,
satisfied to remain in South Dakota and
cultivate his Blendon township farm.
He will ship his horses and household
goods and farming implements back by
train. Mr.. Schlund said that he could
not sell horses for any price down there
and that there was hardly any kind of
market for produce from the farm.
Mrs. Schlund was homesick and the
feeling was shared by the rest of the
| family and it did not take them long to
make up their minds to return. Mr..
Schlund owns a fine farm in Blendon
township with good artesian we'll
spouting fourth the moisture to make
crops grow. Mr.. Schlund's return will
undoubtedly have a bad effect on other
farmers moving south, and we are glad
to welcome the family home again.
