is visiting in Mitchell at present:
Our old neighbor H. B. Lathrop
made US all glad by suddenly appear
ing among us last Thursday. Welearn
by conversing with Mr.. Lathrop that
he has sold out his property in Hawar-
den and converted about all his pro-
perty into solid cash. Now he pro-
poses to go with Mrs Lathrop and visit
their daughter in Colorado, and farther
than this they have not planned. ex-
cept that they will not engage actively
in business of any kind again. They
think they have done their share of
hard work. Well, they have, and We
are glad they have been able to so turn
themselves as to be able to rest for
few years before going hence. They
have earned all they have and more,
too, and we are glad to see them know
when they have done enough. May
the twilight of their lives be long and

ON CHlCKAMAUGA
Sioux City Journal;

Sioux City Journal
The more critically the battle of
Chickamauga is studied the more i'm
portant it appears to be, not merely in
its immediate tactical and strategic
relations, but also, and more especially,
as typical of American vaior. AS a
struggle between great bodies of armed
men it was probably the most desper-
ate battle of the whole civil war, and
one of the most desperate battles in
military history 1t is worth studying
in this respect, for never was human
courage on the battlefield subjected to
more terrific tests. The ebayonetcharge
in the face OF modern arms is perhaps
the severest test of troops. Pettigrew's
charge at Gettysburg across an open
field straight against the strong union
line, against an artillery and musketry
fire which shattered the attacking
column, is one of the most notable feats
of the civil war. That was only one
effort. But at Chiclsamauga great
masses of men on both sides charged.
not a single time, but epeatedly-re-
turning to charge time and again; the
attacking column fercely hurting itself
upon the enemy until almost literally
annihilated, and the entrenched col
umn standing unflinchingly against the
bayonet rush, firm as the hills on which
they had posted until either the assail-
ants were destroyed or the defenders
actually thrust back at the bayonet's
point. 1t was an awful encounter
There were q score of feats on the field
of Chickamauga, both during the second
day of the fight and on into the gather
ing gloom Of night when Longstreet's
masses shrank in sheer exhaustion be-
fore Thomas unmovable front. beside
which the charge of the light brigade
at Balaklava, although immortalized
by Tennyson's genius. sinks into insign-
ficance. The losses in the latter are
not to be compared to those of the
former. In none of the battles Of the
great wars of modern times, whether
between Austria and Prussia, or be-
tween France and Germany. do the
cold records show such slaughter as at
Chickamauga-note even in the onset
of the Napoleonic wars. AS Gen.
Boynton, shows the Third Westphalian
regiment became famous by reason of
| losing 40 per cent. Of it's number in
battle in the Franco-Prussian war: but
at Chickamauga there were more than
twenty regiments that sustained a
greater loss than this-some on both
sides losing as high as IS per cent, and
one confederate regiment losing nearly
6S per cent. 1t is to be noted, too, that
these troops on both sides were western
men. Even Longstreet's corps, which
had been detached from Lees army.
was largely composed of western men.

At recent meeting OF the preachers

Rev. n. S. Bradley Has Accepted Call
to Cadillac, Mich.
Rev. N. S. Bradley of this city re-
ceived telegram few days ago, con-
veying the intelligence that he had
been given call to the pastorate of the
First Congregational church of Cadil-
lac, Mich. This church is doing what
is called institutional work. Attached
to the church building is an annex,
fifty feet square and three stories high,
which is used for the Institutional
work. This building is finely equipped
from top to bottom. There are game
rooms, gymnasiums, parlors, library,
rooms for free kindergarten work, and
all the facilities that go with a modern
institutional church. The church
proper has fair sized audience room,
provided with a pipe organ and nice
furnishings throughout. Last year
they employed an assistant pastor and
probably will agair. They also employ
several kindergarten teachers and a
director OF physical culture.
The field certainly offers large OPP
portunity. Mr.. Bradley's selection for
this position is very much of sur
prise to himself, having never heard of
the church until they opened CORES
pondence with him. 1t is case of the
place seeking the man. The church
has been candidating for several
months and number of men have been
heard, among them Mr.. Bradley, who
was chosen. Mr.. Bradley was selected
from a number of gentlemen living at
New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and Chicago, and to be selected as the
best man for the work from such intel
lectual cities is quite compliment to
Mr.. Bradley's attainments, and while
THE REPUBLICAN is indeed sorry to
have MIR. Bradley leave Mitchell yet
he will so into field which will give
him an opportunity to exert his capa-
bilities in direction that a limited
field does not offer.
At church meeting Monday even
ing Mr. Bradley presented his resigna-
tion which was accepted and Tuesday
wrote his acceptance of the call from
Michigan and will remove to his new
field very soon. Next Sunday evening
will be his last service with the Con-
gregational church of this city.

a Question Often Raised.

An interesting point in connection
with the prohibition law has come to
surface at Woonsocket About three
weeks ago the sheriff OF Sanborn county
raided the saloons at Woonsocket and
secured quantity of beer from three
OF them. The defendants in four of
the cases were bound over to the grand
jury and gave bonds for their appear
ance at the circuit court, to be held
next month. Two of the defendants
have replevined the beer from the
sheriff on the grounds that the beer
was not Intoxicating liquor. The suit
was brought before a justice of the
peace. The states attorney has Sc
cured an injunction prohibiting the
justice from hearing the case. The
matter came up before Judge Haney
Saturday and he issued a restraining
order to prevent the liqnor from being
removed from the custody ofthe sheriff

REUNION AND RECEPTION.
Faculty and Students of the University
Were Entertained Monday Evening.

The annual reunion and reception is
athe first social event of the college
year and one of the best in point of
usefulness. The affair of Monday even
ing was decidedly successful in it's OBJ
ject Of cultiyating old acquaintances
and forming new ones. Society hall,
pleasantly arranged, was filed with a
happy crowd, bent on having a good
time. The young people of the city
were out in abundant numbers to lend
their portion of good cheer to the com
pany. A committee of reception and
introduction was at the door to greet
the guests and start them on a round
of friendly chats. After a half hours
busy hum OF voices Pres. Cotton of the
Y. M. c. A. called 175 takers to order
and announced the plan of the evening
for thorough stirring up of the COM
pany and private corners in particular
Standard quotations had been written
upon cards which were then cut in four
pieces along lines, straight zigzag and
circular. The sections of cards well
mixed were given out, one to each per-
son, and the game was launched of
finding the four sections that would
make complete card The searches
were energetic and generally success
full, although Pres. Graham was un-
able to match up his piece.
A short but very entertaining program
followed the hunt after the house had
again been raped to order. Mr.. Col
ton as chairman made a few introduct-
ory remarks on the need of closer fell
lowship in the rush and whirl of Amer
lean life and the opportunity college
days afford for securing it. He then
called for Pres. Graham who responded
in happy way noting the encouraging
features of the years opening for the
college and giving assurance that soon
the permanent and complete organiza-
tion of the faculty machinery would be
effected. Prof. Stout's position is as
yet untitled as it requires time to select
from the numerous applications re-
ceived.

Not Concerned Init,

In conversation with parties who are
thoroughly acquainted with the facts
in the case we are led to believe that
Mrs. Emerson is not connected to any
great extent with the Mertz-Stafford
affair, which was published in THE RE
PUBLICAN the other day. Her asso-
citation with the parties has given rise
to the idea that she was mixed up in
the squabble but that she has al all
times conducted herself in proper and
decorous manner is attested to by all
who know her.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1895-09-27

a large number of friends and neigh,
bors attended the last sad rites over the
remains of Mrs. Chas. Wilson, which
were observed at the residence of the
deceased on Wisconsin street. The
services were conducted by Rev. Mr..
Bradford who made some appropriate
and touching remarks, and the singing
was rendered by the Misses Lee. Mr..
Wilson was an employe in the Milwau-
kee round house and his fellow labor
ers sent some beautiful floral offerings
in the form of pillow and wreath.
The pail bearers were Thomas Liddell,
Benjamin Holt, j. j. McDougall, Chas.
Bunton, Axel Peterson and John John
son and the remains were inferred in

Weekly Crop Report.

Director Glenn of the Huron weather
bureau sends out the following crop re-
port for the week ending Sept. %:
The temperature during the first
three days of the week was unusually
high, the highest of the year occurring
at many points on Tuesday, 18th inst,
the maximum temperature ranging
from 81 to ll2 degrees in the shade,
over the east half of the state. Thurs
day, 10Th inst, was also very warm
day, the mercury reaching 100 degrees
at many points. During the high
temperature on Tuesday the air was
very dry and a hot wind prevailed over
the east half of the state. After Thurs
day the temperature was much lower
and fair to heavy and we'll distributed
rains occurred. The cool wave culmi-
mating in frost OF more or less severity
in most localities Sunday night. The
rains, SO far as heard from, were heav-
lest over the southeast counties. and
will serve generally to put the soil in
good condition for fall plowing, which
has been retarded by dry weather. The
frost killed vegetables yet growing, ex-
cept the hardest and latest kinds, in
most localities. All of the corn and
potatoes we're past danger from frost
before that of Sunday night occurred.
All field crops are now matured and
the crop season is ended. The issue of
the South Dakota Weather-Crop Bull
letin will be discontinued for the pres
ent season with this number.
