Freeman

Freeman Knowles, the popufist can
didate for congress and q resident of
Dead wood, spoke to a fair sized audi
ence in the opera house on Wednesday
evening. The speaker arrived on the
10 o'clock train and there being no pop
ulist on the depot platform 10 meet
him the editor of THE COURIER very
promptly stepped forward and welcom-
ed the distinguished gentleman to the
city. He told Mr.. Knowles, who by
the way is an old acquaintance, that
while the mayor Wal out OF the city
electioneering, we ventured to extend
him in behalf of Elk Point, a right roy
al welcome, and that not only the latch
string always hung out but that he
could put the keys in his pocketfo for the
time being. We escorted him to the
over to the mercies of the populistic
brethren; While it is a good joke on
u populist friend, Mr.. Bovee, that a
by a republican, still it would not be
fair to recite the above unless we re.
marked that Mr.. Bovee had word he
was coming on the afternoon train and
of course did not expect him in the
morning. However, whatever a mans
political belief may be he will always
find when in a public capacity, THE
COURIER willing to extend q courteous,
honest and sincere welcome. There
was a parade Of the populists in the
the evening. Take the kids out of il
and it was a tame affair. The speech
was the old, old story. He read the
Hazard circular, which ia a forged doc
ument in every sense of the word. I,
has been exposed time and again
Even our Senator Kyle in the U. S. sen
ate in the special session got up and &C
knowledged such was the case. The
editor had not the pleasure of listening
to Mr.. Knowles, hence further com
ment Is unnecessary.

siderable talk OF slate and combination.
Many of the delegates we're heard to
say that a deal had been put up against
them, and that the nominees were
agreed upon the night before the con-
vention. Still the editor could not get
anyone to tell him the facts, and the
only evidence Indicative of the IDEAL"
was the solid ''46'' who seemed to have
controlled the convention. Nearly all
the candidates who we're successful re.
ceiyed "46' votes, and II that be an in

SPHINX, s. d., Sept. This being

day fixed by their constitution for the
annual reunion and picnic of the asso-
citation, the old settlers began TO as
semble At ten o'clock, and by twelve
there we're about two Thousand people
present, aud during the remainder of
the day and far into the night Larson's
beautiful grove, where the picnic was
held, rang with merry enjoyment in
shaking OF hands and renewing old ac-
quaintances, and the gleeful and rippl-
ing laughter and greetings Of the child
rem and youth.
To many Of the ole gray haired pio-
neers there was an object lesson Of
gratifying interest. They could look
back to the time when the surrounding
bluffs we're wont to re-echO the whOop
of the wild savage Sioux or the rumb-
ling tramp OF the bison, or the hum and
chirping Of the a~ll-devouring grasshop-
per. Again the eye might occasionally
meet the curling smoke from some
rude tepee, or the gaunt form Of .
struggling pony. Today VI behold the

carriages.

The paper, "The Privilege of Service, ~
was then read by Mrs. VIM. Wood OF
South Portland.
The world does not love Jesus because
is selfish, and JESUS teaches self denial.
1.-THE ssddest phase of modern Chris.
tianity is that so many persons who
claim to experience the higher life are
not only noted for Christian service but
are noted FOR their nnbelief in the work
God has commanded His children to do
and constant complaints against the va
rious workers in Coils vineyard.
After the singing of Crook of Ages, u
Miss Mary Atkinson of Warren. R. l., a
returned missionary from Toxic, Japan,
was introduced and delivered the prinoi-
pal address of the afternoon.
1t may be-" said she, syou have asked
the question, does Japan need the mis-
sionary? My answer is yes, that it does.
1t is true that over 100000 people of
Japan have given up their idolatrous
practices, but this is small portion of
her population and there is yet a great
field for work. The speaker then went
on to explain the several religious GUS
toms and prsctioes of the people of
Japan. especially of the interior towns.
Idolatry ia praoticed and superstitous
beliefs are still held by the people and
these things are the hardest to overcome.
Much good is done.by the distribution
OF tracts and papers, and the work of
preparing the native students in the mis-
sion schools for special work in the mis-
sions fields Ia going on. Good work Is
being accomplished in the industrial
departments of the schools and the native
pupils are making great advancement
in various departments of work. The
speaker closed by showing the vast
amount of good that is accomplished
through the money that is subscribed by
the American people for the founding
and maintenance of the mission schools,
and gave many instances illustrating the
advancement that has been made by the
Japanese people on account of the educa-
tional advantages offered.
Miss Atkinson gave many personal ex-
periences on the mission fields Of Japan
and her address was full of entertaining
data and was listened to with marked
attention.
The service then closed by the audi
enoe rising and singing missionary
hymnSwritten for the occasion.
The next meeting of the society will be
held in Saco.
