WHAT THE KYLE DEAL WA
The Inside History of His Election
Given to the Public.

The Inside History of His Election is
Given to the Public.
So much has been said and thought,
80 many misrepresentation have been
made, concering the election of Senator
Kyle that it has prompted the Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader to give the history
OF the election. Mr.. Tomlinson was on
the ground from the opening to the
closing OF that memorable session.
The Argus.Leader says:
The facts in the case are these. The
writer is thoroughly familiar with every
move and with every step leading up to
the result. He speaks without fear of
refutation. He defies anyone to con-
trovert the statements.
For forty days the Pops had carried
on the widest campaign of vitupera-
tion among themselves. They had
blackguarded each other in terms of
unprecedented violence. The promi-
nent candidates for senator except
Kyle had employed the most tricky and
corrupt means to defeat him and each
other. Under the instructions of Pet
tigrew they had issued scurrilous circu.
lars, had freely offered bribes of Office.
had traded all principles with the OBJ
ject OF defeating Kyle and electing q
radical who would act as tool to the
Pickerel senator in his scheme of hold
ing up legislation and blackmailing the
national administration.
Itseemed possible that they might
buy away from Kyle enough votes to
kill him and to elect one of their ilk.
The republicans found it impossible to
elect one of their own men. The prob
lem was whether it were better to sit
quietly by and allow the socialists and
demagogues to choose one of their
stripe or to rise to broader plane of
patriotism to the state and throw their
votes to man who most nearly met
their views and who whatever might
be istheories was absolutely honorable
and whose record in point of integrity
had been without blemish.
Several of the prominent pop candi-
dates had come to the republicans and
had offered if elected by Republican

TALKED ON THE WHALE STORY
Rev. Mr.. Durant Discussed Popular
Biblical Story Sunday Evening.

Biblical Story Sunday Evening.
The announcement that Rev. Mr..
Durant would speak upon the book of
Jonah drew a large congregation to the
Episcopal church Sunday evening.
The subject is one that could be hand
led lightly and irreverently and it is
only proper to say that those who went
expecting ridicule to be cast upon the
story went away disappointed, while
those who may have feared for the
Bible truth had their fears disarmed.
Mr.. Ducant's treatment of the story
was from the literary standpoint upon
the same lines laid down by DR.. Alb
bott, OF Brooklyn, whose satirical
analysis he quoted in concluding the
paper. 1t was a plea for study Of the
sacred pages, not as one book, but as
collection OF books. written in different
times. under different circumstances,
for different purposes; that the Bible
contained legend and fiction no less
than history, theology, law and poetry:
that as God inspired the historian, TIE
theologlan, the lawmaker a,.u the
palmist. so he inspired the l,nAg ination,
the delineator of hutn..u nature and of
character: that fiction could be i'm
spired fiction, that historical romance
could breath of the living God, could
be divine moralist no less than the
law-giver, the theologian or the psalm
ist; that Us we have our Dickens, our
Thack2ray and our Scott whose writ
ings. ounded on fact, were written to
expose some crying evil, to show up in
the mother tongue certain aspects of
institution, certain varieties of human
nature, and to correct existing evils IN
society. SO in the Bible days there
we're writer's who sought to do the
same things in the same manner: that
there were Hebrew Chaucers no less
than English Chaucers; provincial re-
ligionists and narrow minded "Christ-
ians" among the Hebrews even as there
are with US today. In such category
belonged the book of Jonah. 1t was no
less inspired because it was historical
romance: that the voice of divinity
could be heard in the story teller as in
the region of Sinai and that mistrust
of the verbal inspiration of the Bible
should be an incentive to get at its
moral and spiritual teachings. God
has many voices and nowhere are the
riches and variety of divine voicing
more real than in the different forms oil
literature in which the Bible abounds
An irreverent mind, Mr.. Durant said
should read nothing, least of all the
Bible, for it will foul the good and the
true, while shat which appeals to il
most will but cater to its depravity
The whole treatment of the story was
reverent and honest, whether the in
depreciation given is accepted or not
for it was simply an Interpretation
will not effect in the least either the
inspiration of the Bible or the faith O.
the Bible reader.
The vocal solo given by Miss Ger
tude Becker at the conclusion of the

Protect the Strategic Point.

Protect the Strategic Point.
A warlke move of Colombia to seize Corn
Island. OF the Mosquito coast. Is believed
to have been checkmated by Nicaragua,
although further news from the seat of
contention is awaited
About month ago the government OF
Nicaragua was Informed unofficiaIly that
Colombia had planned TO make a landing
on Corn Island. which is a valuable strate-
s!c spot, belonging to Nicaragua, whose
flag was to be hauled down and the en-
sign of Colombia substituted for It,
1t was alleged that Nicaragua was over
taxing Corn Island and that the inhabi-
,ants, numbering few hundred. had APP
pealed TO Colombia for redress. on the
ground that the territory. which formerly
belonged to Colombia was unlawfully held
by Nicaragua
1t. was further stated that the project
OF San Andrea, Colombia. had assembled a
fniHtary force and was waiting only for
the arrival Of gunboats in order to pro-
ceed to Corn Island, seize Ii and foriify
II against the possibility of recapture
President Helaya of Nicaragua took
prompt steps to meet this move, Detach-
ments of troops were assembled at Man
aqua and at Granada and were sent in
small parties across Lake Nicaragua and
down the San Juan river to Greytown and
Bluefields.
by mus Time the soldiers OF Nicaragua
are believed to be in possession of Corn
Island, and the work of erecting a strong
fcrt should be progressing.
If fighting has occurred, the matter NAV
lead to general upheaval In Central
America, for Colombia was warned diplo-
matically that her seizure of Corn Island
might lead to a combir alton of the repub-
lies of Salvador and Honduras, in support
o. Nicaragua against her Colombia was
also advised If she still claimed rights in
Corn Island to submit them to the arbitra-
ton of a disinterested republic. To these
threats and suggestions. apparently no at
tention was paid, for II was announced
that the Colombian gunboat was being fit
ted up for the transportation of troops 10
Corn Island.
Corn Island affords good anchorage to
the largest vessels close to the shore, and
a better spot for ccaling station could
hardly be found. Because of its proxim-
ity to the proposed Nicaraguan canal the
island is of rare strategic value.
