Declare Their Purposes and Aims.
The Christian Citizenship League,
which was organized last month with
a mem 0ership of 600, held its first open
meeting at the court house Thursday
evening, the audience being comprised
OF both old and young people. The
program was to begin at 1880 but il was
after s o'clock when President Boulton
had everything in readiness to begin
the meeting and the first on the pro-
gram was a vocal solo by Miss Monnie
Lee, followed by q recitation by Nora
Harker, and the University Male
quartet rendered Il selection. Presi-
dent Boullon had each officer Of the
league down on his program for an
address and be being the head officer
came fret on the list and he stated his
position on the prohibition question.
J. J. McDougall as vice epresent, didn't
think it was necessary for him to say
whore he stood, as probably everybody
in Mitchell knew what his position was
on the prohibition issue. He criticized
the method OF drawing juries which
gave TO the opposition the control of
the jury when liquor case came up
for trial. Secretary Broad bent acknow-
le6g ged his election and would fulfill the
Guties to the best of his ability. Miss
Quigley in few remarks promised the
allegiance of the Y. W. G. Z. U. w.
A. Barber spoke OF educating the boys
and girls in the line OF temperance and
making an impression on their minds
while young which time could not ef-
face Dan Tenny was called upon to
say a few words for the cause. Mr.
Tenney said that ne had been on the
wrong side of temperance for great
many years but hereafter he would be
found working on the right side of that
great movement. II T. Robinson made
some remarks along the line of consti-
tutional prohibition and hoped the day
would soou come when every membe
Of his family could vote upon the ques-
ton. Miss Boggs gave q vocal solo
with guitar accompaniment and Miss
June Connor played for a quartet Of
boys who sang. A. E. Carhart, pres
ident Of the state league, confined
himself to few general remarks about
prohibition. Subscriptions for Truth,
the prohibition organ, were solicited
and as the rates were put away down
about 700 copies were disposed of for
next month. There We're several other
exercises and an adjournment was
taken until Saturday evening, March II.

in that respect is one of the best equip
ped departments in the state.
The department receives its support
from the city council by being paid for
the number Of fires they attend and as
conhagrations have been scarce in
Mitchell for the past year it has re-
quired considerable patriotism to keep
the boys together but thay have re-
sponded promptly in all times OF need.
The boys are entitled TO any amount OF
praise for their efforts in maintaining
an organization which so ably copes
with fire.

His Grafton as to fitness for delivery
was not equal to the gentleman's powers
in that line. He showed the power of
public opinion today and against what
evils it should be directed. His ap-
pearance on the platform is imposing
and natural He possesses a phenom-
inal voice, voluminous and rich, which
only needs experience in it's use TO make
it platform power.
violin and piano duet by Rex and
Ross Rathbun was so admirably per-
formed that the boys received an en-
core to which they responded with an
other treat.
The subject Of J. p. Hauser'e Grafton
was Leaders and was carefully treated
The qualities Of leadership were dis
cuSsed and the examples of Bonaparte,
Phillips and Lincoln cited. The cul-
mination OF leadership was in Christ,
pure and unerring. His delivery was
little forced but had the good quality
of vivacity. Pronunciation suffered
from too rapid expression. Mr..
Hauser viii. never be troubled with
sleepy audiences.
The last speaker was Geo. Potter
"Perpetuity of Our Republic" was
loyal and hopeful, and gave full scope
for its authors power of speech. The
closing was the most impressive of the
series. Perfect control of voice char
acterized the entire delivery and made
every sentence and word tell. Com
pared with his work of last year Mr..
Potter has made splendid progress.
He we'll deserved the place given him
by the judges.
H. G. Nichols favored the audience
with q meritorious mandolin solo. His
work is scholarly and always appre-
ciated.
The ''Scarf Fantasy" by nine young
ladies WIS the best performance OF the
kind ever given in Mitchell. The
numerous figures made and the beauty
of them is indescribable and must be
seen to be appreciated. 1t was fitting
climax to the program OF the evening.
The musicians of the evening we're
asked to continue their entertainment
during the interval for determining
the ranks Of the contestants, to which
request they most generously responded.
The decision was given by President
Motley, awarding first place to Whit
taker, second to Potter. third to Lewis.
Prizes OF fifteen and five dollars were
p esented to the first two winners re-
spectively.
Whitaker was borne around the
room in triumph by the other contest
ants while everyone else yelled. For
about ten minutes college yells, class
yells and society yells held the field.
Nothing but good will has resulted
from this close contest. Mr. Whit
taker goes to the state arena as Mitch
ellis representative with the unanimous
support from his college.
The judges on thought and compost
tion were Prof. Jones of Chamberlain:
Miss Mary Hubbard, professor of Eng
lish Literature, Of Huron and Pres.
Hancher of Black Hills College; on
: delivery, Reu. A. r. Boggs, DR.. Bracy
and Prof. A. G. Shepherd.
1t was close decision between Whit
toker and Potter, there being only a
! half point difference between them.

Sheriff Miller of Aurora County Served
That Many Summons Monday.

Forty-nine citizens of this town are
made defendants in damage suit
brought by f. H. MacBride, now Of
Plankinton. Sheriff Miller came in
from Plankinton Monday with his
pockets filled with summons and with
the aid Of Thos. Christopher and

the defendants on whom he served
the papers. Just what the nature
OF the complaint is has not been
made known to any Of the defendants.
The sheriff was not fully acquainted
with the contents of the complaint, al
though he seems to think that it covers
the destruction Of the Mail Office and
the injury to Bob's personal feelings in
being treated so discourteously. The
case is called in Aurora county and
nothing can be done until the Septem-
Der term of court. other than for the
defendants to file their answer to the
summons within thirty days from date

SMALL HOLDING CLAIMS.
Important Instructions Issued by the
General Land Oflice-Claimants
Must Advertise Before
Proving Up.

Register Walker and Receiver Delgado,
of the local United States land Office, have
received definite instructions from the
commissioner of the general land Office
hereafter to require small holding claim
ants to publish notices of their intention
to submit proof of their occupation and
possession Of the land included in their
claims under the same terms and restric-
tions as govern the publication of notices
In homestead cases. The form of notice
for publication is to conform as near as
possible to the homestead form.
The Instructions only apply to cases
where proof is hereafter to be- submitted
and will not have a retroactive eff+o.,
Hence those who have already proved M
are not concerned, but all other small
holding claimants, including those who
have received notice to produce their
proof, must initiate their claims by ad.
vertising their intention for six weeks in
some newspaper of general circulation to
be designated by the register.
These instructions are important In
that they will render impossible frauds
upon both the government and the peo-
pie that might otherwise have been prac-
ticed.
So far twenty-one small holding claim.
ants have proved up on their claims 10
the local land Office and about the same
number of Claims have been rejected. In
round numbers there are 1900 small hold.
ing claims in this land district.
