Baltimore Methodist Conference
Passes Resolutions.
Bishop Hurst of Washington, electrified
the Baltimore Methodist conference with
his utterance of sympathy for Cuba and
Crete. He is not member of the con.
ference, but dropped in for visit, and was
introduced to the audience by the presiding
bishop. In general talk Bishop Hurst
referred to mission work in Cuba, and he
said he hoped the island would soon be
free. The sentiment was heartily APP
plauded, and the bishop thus encouraged
added:
"When Cuba is free and Crete is Greek
and Turkey is dead, we want to take one
whole day to sing the doxology."
The applause was renewed with hearty
amens, and the Rev. F. B. Clarkson offered
the following resolutions:
Resolved, by the Baltimore annual con-
ference assembled. That the people of
Cuba have our heartiest sympathy in their
heroic struggle for independence.
The resolution was amended SO as to in.
clude Crete, and adopted with hurrah.

against ex-President Grover Cleveland.
The resolutions are unique and amusing

are as follows:
Whereas, The press dispatches inform
Us that Grover Cleveland, private citizen

eminent boat with party OF friends, in
dulging his passion for duck shooting at
public expense; and
Whereas, The cost of running the gov

appears to have confiscated for his own use
is heavy, and the taxpayers are already
staggering under the burden of debt which
Grover Cleveland, when public official,
greatly increased; therefore, be it
Resolved, BY the house of representa-
tives Of the Thirty ninth general assembly

THE NEWS OF THE DAY
SOUTH DAKOTA HAPPENINGS IN
CONDENSED FORM,
Settlers Who Are Located Along the
Bottom Lands Of the Missouri and
James Rivers Fear Both Will Go
Over Their Banks this Spring.
Look for q Flood.

The Chamberlain Pontoon Bridge Com
pany has removed its bridge from the Mis-
souri, River in anticipation of the breaking
up OF the ice at an early day. Uneasiness
exists among the settlers who are located
on the bottom lands along the river, and
oil who can do so are preparing to move
their property, or so much of it as possible,
to higher ground before the ice breaks up.
Settlers who week ago were disposed to
laugh at the fears of their neighbors have
now come to realization of the danger.
The fact that the water is at very
low stage and frozen to the bottom in many
places. renders the danger all the greater
IN the event that the ice breaks up on the
upper end OF the river before 1t does here,
as was the case In the spring of 1881, when
floods caused so much damage along the
lower Missouri. The snowfall has been SO
great this winter throughout the entire re-
gion drained by the Missouri River that if
the ice breaks up on the upper end before
1t does on the lower, sending vast volumes
OF water down upon the nearly solidly
frozen lower portion of the river, destruct-
i've ice gorges will be formed and vast
damage and loss OF life will certainly re-
suit. Grave fears are also entertained by
the settlers living on the bottom lands
along the James River.

Jens. Peterson, one of the directors of
the Alsen creamery in Clay County is very
enthusiastic over the prospects for the COW
IN That section of the state. The Alsen
creamery is one Of the best in South Da-
kota and pays out sevefal thousand dol
lars month to the farmers. Mr., Peterson
says that some of the farmers are making
$75 per month the year round. He esti-
mates that twenty cows will bring an
income OF $500 year. Clay County could
we'll support dozen creaheries and the
prospects are that several new ones will be
established this summer. Thus far the
butter from the Clay County creameries
has commanded the highest market price.
especially is it SO of the butter from Alsen.
For distance Of five miles in every direc-
ton the farmers around this little burg are

Michigan Lawmaker Would Keep
Them In the Cities.
Representative Goodell has introduced a
bill in the Michigan legislature which pro-
vides penalty of $25 fine or Imprisonment
for thirty days for any girl or woman who
appears on any country road or highway
outside municipal limits dressed in the
costume which has become so popular with
the bicycle riders. Scion Goodell insists
that bloomer girls belong in the city, and
that when they are seen by country girls
pedaling along the quiet lanes and roads Of
rural districts their appearance causes
great illustration to the daughters Of his
constituents, and he is determined to save
them the embarrassment which naturally
arises when they see the awful spectacle
from town gliding down the road.
