NEW AND LIBERAL RELIGION.

Two DiscOurses Delivered Sunday on q
New Religion by Rev. w. L. Utley.
Sunday afternoon Rev. w. L. Utley
made his first appearance before q
Mitchell audience at the Grand opera
house, taking for his subject ';A New
Heaven and New Earth" or defense
of the life of Thomas Paine. In the
discourse of his subject Mr.. Utley
proved himself efficient in the matter
OF knowledge of religious matters and
while his belief in the new religion
may be absolutely sincere and he is
undoubtedly perfectly honest in it, it
seems 80 much different from what one
has been listening to for lifetime that
it is accepted to great extent on pro-
baton. 1t would evidently require
considerable study on the part of many
to throw off the old entirely and take
up with the new. Mr.. Utley is strong
speaker and holds the attention of his
audience throughout his discourse.
In the evening Mr.. Utley spoke to
fair audience on the topic Glow to bs
Saved" the impending storm keeping
q good many at home. At the close of
the lecture he invited the liberal peo-
pie to remain to discuss the idea of
keeping the meetings going. The fol-
lowing committee was appointed to take
up this matter: Frank Weller, Z. Beck
with, DR.. j. A. Baker, DR.. E. B. Bracy,
w. w. Hover, Mrs. G. c. Cowhick and
Mrs. E. B. Bracy. This committee
met at The Mitchell hotel this morn
ing and decided to call meeting of
all persons interested in liberal thought
and preaching to be held Tuesday
evening at p. m. at the residence of
G. G. Cowhick.

arms for any resistance. The sheriff
explained thu situation to the tramps
and ordered them to keep off while the
train pulled out. The sheriff and the
deputies boarded the train and as it
went through the yards at a rapid rate
the hoboes commenced to pile on and
there were not very many left when the
last car passed the water tank. The
engineer ran the train about two miles
out of town and stopped under order of
the conductor, when the crew, sheriff
and deputies commenced firing them
off. At first the hoboes resisted but
they finally concluded to act wisely and
let the train proceed. Only one tramp
was hurt in the putting off process and
that was fellow who applied an un-
wholesome epithet to Neil Whallon,
who turned around and smashed him
in the nose. The freight went on to
Letcher and the deputies and sheriff
returned on the passenger.
OF course the tramps walked hack to
Mitchell and got here about the same
time the passenger did. They fell in
by twos and marched up to the city
auditors office, where they encountered
Mayor Fullerton and Chief Reierson
and demanded something to eat and
they were met with very prom OF
refusal. They were further notified
that they would have to leave the CITY
by 6 o'clock.
just why Mitchell has to have all the
tramps from the south and east dumped
on the town by the Milwaukee company
is not plain. If Sapt. Scott refuses to
carry them north over his line we can't
understand why Supt. Beardsley don't
put the same rule in effect and not bring
them to this city. The railroad men
say, however, that they are willing to
carry the tramps east or south, but
absolutely refuse to take them north.
That being the case the city or county
county are entitled to take some meas
ures to prevent the railroads from
bringing them to Mitchell.

cock for the purpose of entertaining
and being entertained by Prof. E. L
Powers, musical instructor in a ladies'
seminary at Marion, Ala, and who is
spending portion of his vacation in
Mitchell with his brother, John Pow
ers. Outside of the clubs membership
Mrs. Hitchcock invited few others to
attend the impromptu affair who are
fond of music. The program was in
formal and was immensely pleasurable
to those who heard it. Prof. Powers
played five or six numbers and these
were interspersed with vocal and in
strumental selections by members of
the club. Mrs. B. W. Burleigh gave a
piano solo, Mrs. 81. E. Hitchcock sang
very sweet selection and Mrs. Lou
Ella Smith sang two solos that were
particularly attractive. Maude Kim
ball played violin solo that was a
little gem and she kindly responded to
the hearty encore. Miss Goody ykoontz
sang q pleasing selection and sang in
response to an encore, and by request
"Comin' Thro' the Rye" Miss Goody-
koontz gives an unusually pleasant and
artistic rendition of this song and it is
a delight to hear her sing it.
Prof. Powers delighted his hearers
with some really artistic work on the
piano, the numbers he played showing
a wide versatility and range in his class
of music and all were representative
works of the old masters, while his in
depreciation of the theme and the
execution applied were all that could
be exacted. Prof. Powers acquired his
musical education in Germany under
Bart and being a young gentleman the
outlook for his future in musical circles
is most f1attering.
When the program was about half
through Mrs. Hitchcock served refresh
ments consisting of pine apple sherbet
and cake, and was most happy digres-
sion from the musical feast, and the
guests were sincere in their praises for
the most pleasant evening.

DAKOTA IMMIGRANTS.
Prospects of u Large Influx of Settlers

Prospects of a Large Influx of Settlers
This Fall and Next Spring.
Sioux City Journal: M. E. Distad
has just returned from Chicago, where
he met Harry Hunter, who is con-
nected with the immigration depart
ment of the Milwaukee railroad, his
work being done more particularly
with reference to South Dakota settle
ment. Mr.. Hunter was formerly q res
ident OF Mellette, in Sphinx county, and
still owns splendid farm there which
shows what it is possible to do with ir-
rig gation. He declared to Mr.. Distad
that South Dakota would this fall see
q wonderful influx of settlers.
There has never been such work
done as is being done through various
channels at this time to attract imm1-
grafton to the northwest. The men
who are doing it are spending their
own money, so that there is not very
much being wasted. The most SUCCESS
full work is that which includes person.
al conference with prospective immi-
grants, and there is more of this being
had this season than ever before.
The fine crops which are being gar
nered in South Dakota will tell their
story of prosperity to those in the east
who are wanting to get to reigon of
cheap lands, and there will be no Sec
tion of the country that can offer great
er inducements in this line than the
prairies of South Dakota.

FIRST TROUBLE WITH TRAMPS.

Was Engendered by tho Milwaukee Re-
fusing to Garry Them North.
So far this summer the tramps and
authorities, either city or county, have
got along without any clashing. The
tramps have come in from the south or
east, remained here day and then
started for North Dakota, the railroads
having offered no resistance heretofore.
Although the tramps have applied to
the city authorities for something to
eat this has been refused them in every
instance and the majority of them have
invariably gone down into their own
pockets and bought their own grub,
and it is further evident that a good
many of them are provided with nc oney.
The first difficulty between the rail-
roads and the tramps occurred this
morning. There were about 200 of
them arranged around the north freight
awaiting its departure from the city,
with the evident determination to go
with the train. The train men had
received orders from Supt. Scott at
Aberdeen not to carry the tramps as
that country up there was overrun with
them and there are 16 men to l job.
The tramps cared naught for the orders
and were bound to 60 and it seems it
was the intention to keep the freight
here until il could get out without the
tramps. Finally Supt. Scott sent q
message to Sheriff Cook asking his as
sistance and protection to prevent the
tramps from boarding the train and
giving it chance to get out of town.
The sheriff didn't like the idea of keep
ing those 200 tramps in town and pre-
ferred to give them . chance to get
away. Sheriff Cook swore in twelve
deputies and went to the Milwaukee
depot to execute his orders, only few
Of the deputies y.bsing provided with
