For the second time in the history OF
Dakota has the general ASSOCIATION OF
state Congregationalists been convened
10 the University City-the first time
In 1881. The first session. Is years ago,
was held in Yankton, then the capital Of
Dakota, then and ever since we believe
the head-centre Of Congregationalism.
At Yankton was located the first high
er school of the denomination, which
has since become popular and re-
nowned educational institution. Seven
Of the twenty.seven annual associations
have been held at Yankton. Five
times has Sioux Falls thus been
honored, and twice also has Mitchell,
Huron, Redfield and Watertown; while
Santee Agency, BonHomme, Plankin-
ton and Pierre have once each been
favored. The first moderator was Rev.
Stewart Sheldon, pioneer preacher,
followed by quitea long line OF sue
cessors, one Of them being Rev. w. A
Lyman In 1885, who was then Yer
million pastor. The first scribe WA
Rev. Joseph Ward, the father o
Yankton college.

Beau Of the Ball Kidnapped.

Dudley Digges Fleming Parker, a
sophomore at Rutgers College, did not
enjoy the junior prominade given Friday
night by the class of '9s, in the Ballan-
tine Gymnasium. A party of freshmen
were responsible for his unhappiness.
They captured him early in the evening
and by force took him q prisoner TO
Bound Brook.
Parker, who is one of the leading soci-
ETY. men of the college, had invited a
pretty New Brunswick girl to be partner
at the promenade, and several days ago
his dancing order was filled with the
names of many of the beautiful young
women of the city.
He went to his home in Jersey City
early Friday afternoon and returned on
the five O'Clock train, carrying his dress
suit case in one hand and q large bunch
OF roses in the other. Some time ago
Parker gave Offense to some freshmen,
who thought him "stuck up" These
young fellows were at the station to
meet him. They let their victim walk
as far as George street, when they sud-
denly seized him, and, stuffing n glove
into his mouth for a gag, dragged him to
u carriage.
Three men entered with him and one
sat on the box. The roses and dress suit
case were handed in after the victim.
Parker hod afrugala1 x;a1ao&lx, - Tho
street, attracting considerable attention,
but his captors forced him into the car
riage in few moments. When the city
limits had been passed the glove was
taken from Parker's mouth. Then he
threatened and pleaded, telling how the
young woman would be disappointed
and how mean she would think him.
Finding his threats of no avail Parker
tried to bride his captors
Come, fellows, this is too much" he
said. IF you will let me go I'll give
you $40 to blow yourselves with"
This was created with laughter The
sophomore finally became very angry
and called his captors very hard names.
Thus he amused the freshmen until the
crrriage rolled into Bound Brook, which
is seven miles distant from this city.
The four freshmen took Parker to a
hotel in Bound Brook, and after compel
ling him to treat, summoned a colored
servant. To her, with much ceremony,
they presented the roses, telling her they
were gift from Mr.. Parker. The wo-
man was profuse in her thanks.
After playing pool with Parker until
nearly midnight the freshmen brought
him back to his room in the Delta Phi
Fraternity chapter house. There he
hastily dressed and was driven to the
promenade; just in time to claim his last
three dances. He became something of
a hero at the promenade, as his capture
was know there, and many young women
offered him their sympathies.-Herdld.
