Brotherhood Of st. Andrew.

A meeting was held at the Episcopal
church on Tuesday evening for the
purpose OF presenting the work of the
Brotherhood of St. Andrew. This is
an order of men within the Episcopal
church, it's object being to reach young
men and lead them into q religious life.
Rev. T. L. Fisher, of Sioux Falls,
described the recent International
convention of the Brotherhood. This
convention was held at Buffalo, Oct.
Is to II. Twelve hundred delegates
we're in attendance. Addresses were
delivered by leading men of the Episco-
pal church and great interest and much
enthusiasm in the work Of the Brother
hood vas aroused.
After Mr.. Fisher, Dean Cornell, of
Sioux City, spoke briefly. Then the
open meeting was dismissed and the
men remained and an informal dis.
cussi0n Of the work and methods OF the
Brotherhood followed. A number OF
laymen ere present from Sioux City,
Sioux Falls and vermillion. Rev. A.
E. Fillmore, OF vermillion, and some
OF the visiting brethren took part in
the discussion In which the two simple
rules OF the Brotherhood were dwelt
upon. These rules are 1.-The Rule Of
Prayer and THE Rule Of Service
The Rule Of Service is that each brother
engages to try each week to influence
some one for the Christian life. The
brotherhood has been greatly instru-
mental for good In the Episcopal church.
1t would seem as II a similar orgauiza.
ton might be effective in other
churches.

TIE Story Of Stroud.

Our town has been much stirred up
over the Stroud episode the past few
days, a state of affairs rendered much
worse by the exaggerated reports
which have found their way into the
dailies. We shall endeavor to give a
plain statement of facts as nearly as We
can gather them, mu III regretting the
necessity OF reporting anything of the
kind.
A week ago Sunday night G. E.
Stroud, and Carrie, the 16-year old
daughter of Ed. Carter, with Stroud's
covered outfit and ponies, disappeared.
A warrant was sworn out by Mrs.
Stroud charging her husband with
adultery, and descriptions of the par
ties were sent out in every direction.
Trace was first found at LeMars, Ia,
but they were finally arrested at Glen
wood on Friday. Sheriff Ryan went
down there at once, identified them
and brought them back Saturday
night. Stroud was tried Monday af-
ternoon before Justice Smythe and
discharged. No evidence of Importance
was produced against him. A plenty
of evidence may or may not have ex-
listed, but none was produced. We
share the popular feeling that there is
little doubt of his guilt. but courts deal
with evidence not belief. The lame.
ness of the prosecution, whether nee
essary or otherwise, is responsible for
his release.
After Stroud's release Monday night,
the girls father. urged on by a crowd
Of men and boys, drove Stroud into
Geo. Hasson's store and handled him
pretty roughly. Stroud escaped and
made his way across the street, Car
ter following with a rope and M ex'
cited crowd. Stroud was now
thoroughly frightened, as the crowd
evidently intended he should be, and
made his way to the Jail for safety
Sheriff Ryan had no difficulty what
ever in sheltering him, and Tuesday
night Stroud skipped away and has moi
been seer or heard from since. HI
promised to send for his family short
", which is extremely doubtful, ani
they are likely to be in destitute cir
cumstances in q short time. The girl
on complaint of her father, was sent Il
the State Reform School at Plankin
ton. whittier she was taken by Sheriff
Ryan and his wife yesterday.

Priced Powders are the same as on
Calumet" cans, viz, two teaspoonfult
to q quart OF -four: but they say tina,

times rs far as any other. Can any
thing be more ridiculous?
Another claim made in favor OF high
priced baking powders 10 still more
ridiculous-that any baking powder
sold at a less price than theirs must
be dangerously adulterated. The
manufacturers Of one of the high priced
powders boast Of selling the govern
ment large quantity Of their goods n
Is cents q pound. At the same time
they compel the consumer to pay 4.
