DAKOTA CHURCHES.
Methodist Episcopal Conference at

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 15.-Rev. w.
r.. Jordan, special delegate from the
Methodist Episcopal conference of South
Dakota, departed Thursday for Denver
to attend the annual meeting OF the gen
eral missionary committee. This com
mittee distributes annually among the
needy Methodist churches about 81 ,50o,
900. Mr.. Jordan represented South Da'
kota al the meeting in Brooklyn las
year, and succeeded in getting a do
nation for the state of 10000. He says
this year the churches are not 80 badly
in need OF funds as last, and that he VIII
not ask the committee for over $4,000
which he thinks he will have no trouble
In getting. Much to the disappointment
OF the congregation OF st. Augusta
Episcopal cathedral of this city, Arch
deacon c. II. Brady of Kansas Will moi
accept the call extended to him by the
Episcopal hurch here, at a salary o
81. 900. He would most likely have ac
cepted this offer u for the fact that he
was a few days ago appointed to the re
sponsible position Of archdeacon for tn
diocese OF Pennsylvania, at a salary O
k3. 900.

Lands Subject TO Entry,

Huron, S. D., Nov. 16.-More than
90, 900 acres of land within the Huron
and office are subject to entry under
he homestead laws Of the general gov
rnment. These lands are suitable for
agricultural purposes and stock rails
ng. and much Of ii is in close proximity
o railroad and market towns. The past
ieaSon's fine crops have turned the at
ention Of home seekers TO South Dako-
a. and inquiries at the local land Of
ice are more numerous than at any time
or the past two years. During the
month of October 9,349.l0 acres in this
district were acquired by settlers, of
which 2,050.4S acres were covered by
thirteen homestead entries: 640 acres
" four Sioux Indian land homestead
ntries; 9.47S.99 acres by twenty final
homestead entries. The total cash re-
.eipts of the office were s492. 06. These
igures are low because of the fact tina

MILLS FOR MORRISON.
Texas Senator Thinks Him Demo-
cracy's Strongest Candidate.

Washington, d. c., Nov. Ex-senator
Roger Q. Mills OF Texas. like other dem
ocrats throughout the country, is very
u disappointed over the result of
the recent elections. The senator feels
that the cause of the democratic col
lapse was disgust and disappointment
on the part Of the people because the
present administration has not rigidly
adhered to the straight and narrow path
Of old fashioned democracy. The Texas
senator, however, Is not cast down re-
garding the fight to be made next year.
Like Senator Hill. he believes that there
are more democrats than republicans In
the United States M all that is neces-
sary to DO is to nominate a candidate
who will bring out the entire democrat
ic vote.
Senator Mills Is earnestly in favor OF
the nomination of william II. Morrison
for president e year. He believes
that he Is the strongest man In the party
and that under his leadership the demo-
cratic masses OF the country would rail-
ly and once more demonstrate their po-
tency. enato Mills cannot see how
any man bred in the faith OF Jefferson
could decline to vote for Morrison for
president, and says hat the aim and
object OF democratic should
be to nominate candidates for president
that would bring out the democratic
vote. Colonel Morrison, Senator Mills
thinks, would be a platform in himself.
The people have confidence In his hon
esty. his courage, his fidelity to the prin-
ciples OF true democracy. Mr.. Mills Is
an advocate Of an old fashioned demo-
cratic ticket on an old fashioned demo-
cratic platform. He thinks that the
democratic party ought to stand square
Iy on the right solely Of the government
to coin and issue money, and that the
~pretentions Of the banks or any other
corporations to issue money should be
fought and contested to the end, as
Jackson fought the banks nifty years
ago. The observations made by the
Texas senator In the southwest and on
his way from Texas to W. shington con-
vinceC him hat the condition of the
country Is i~mprovingand that times are
now reasonably prosperous. He believes
the next presidential election will be
fought In a period Of prosperity and that
the party in power will not be handicap
ped by q panic as II was las, year. Sen!
ator Mills intends to- make several
speeches In Texas early next spring.
and he will urge the democrats of his
state to send a Morrison delegation to
the national convention.

Editor as Amateur Detective.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 15.-F. M.
Bailey. editor of the Hills, Mimi, Cres-
cent, has developed into an amateur de-
tective and is in a fair way to make $500
out OF his first attempt. The govern
ment offered a reward OF 5000 each for
the apprehension of the men who recent
ly robbed the postoffice at Hills and Mr..
Bailey went to work on the case. He
has secured enough evidence to war
rant the officers In arresting John Vail
entine, an old man, who formerly lived
at Valley Springs, S. D., and in placing
his son Edward under espionage. The
old gentleman has been released until
court meets but is being watched close
ly to prevent his escape. The evidence
against the men Is pointed and Mr..
Bailey thinks the reward Is as good as
his,

Memphis, Nov. 16.-Several independ-
ent free silver men. together with a few

American Bimetallic league, of which
General A. /. Warner Is chairman, with
headquarters at Washington, and the
National Bimetallic union OF Salt Lake,

terview made public his opinion that
he recent elections demonstrated that
the silver question will form the issue OF
the campaign of $50. He advocates the
organization at the convention in Chi
cago of a silver party, with a view to
placing a full presidential ticket in the
field.
