COULDN'T AGREE ON CLOSING

1t VIII Take More Work to Bring About
Early Closing.
A meeting OF the Business Mems
League was held in the First National
bank parlors Monday evening for the
purpose of discussing the early closing
of the business houses. There were
about fifteen business men present and
the sentiments expressed were in favor
of early closing, but the hour could not
be agreed upon, the hours ranging
from 6 to 8, and no action was taken.
Several expressed the intention of act
ing independently of any general move
ment and would close their stores early
in the evening. 1t will take consider
able agitation yet to secure the
concerted closing of the business
houses and the object is worth the
effort.
The league decided to make it's
membership fee merely nominal and
it is hoped that every business man in
Mitchell will become member wher
the matter is presented to him withir
the coming week.

WILL SHOOT THE WE'LL.

Water Works Committee Have Decided
to shoot Dynamite In the Well.
From their Investigations the water
works committee has come to the con-
clusion that the most feasible plan to
get any results from the artesian we'll
is to explode some dynamite in the
bottom of 1t. They have secured =
battery from Chamberlain and are now
awaiting the arrival of the insulated
wire and dynamite from Chicago. The
obstruotions in the we'll make it abso-
lutely impossible for any further pro-
gress, and the contractors feel pretty
sure that the dynamite charge will
loosen enough rock to secure the
coveted flow Of water. The money
thus expended will be spent in
a good service, for it will de-
termine whether farther progress can
be made in the rock, something that
has always remained in doubt at the
present depth. 1t is likely that the
material will arrive in about week or
ten dys.

The Mitchell Quarterly Conference,
which held its session Saturday even
ing, Dec. 10, adopted the following res
olutlon:
Resolved, That in the death of our
beloved brother, Rev. A. r. Boggs,
late presiding elder of this district, we
have sustained the loss of trusted
leader, wise councillor, a faithful
friend and brother. Our sympathy
goes out in full measure to his devoted
wife, our sister, in this deep bereave-
ment, and to his sons and daughters,
who are now doubly orphaned. We
commend these afflicted ones to Him
who said, II will be q husband to the
widow and father to the fatherless,' -
and also to the church urging that
these dear ones test the willingness of
this great Christian organization to
help in times of sorrow and loneliness.

A Receipt for Funds From a Bank Does
Not Require u Stamp.
Cashier Ki5bee, of the Commercial
Savings bank, addressed a letter to
Collector Houtz concerning the neces-
sity of q person placing revenue stamp
on check or receipt when drawing
deposits for his personal use. Mr..
Kibbee received the following reply:
In reply to your letter of the 9th inst,
you are advised that all checks Of de-
positors for the withdrawal of their
funds from bank are subject to tax.
1t is held, however, that where q
depositor draws money from his de-
posit personally, rendering the bank 9
receipt, said receipt is not subject to
tax. But if the receipt is issued 80 as
TO be good in the hands of person
other than the depositor it then loses
the character OF a receipt and becomes
q check, and as such is subject to tax.

1885, near Martinsburg, Knox county,
Ohio, of parents who were Presbyter-
ians in their religious faitk. he re-
ceived an academic education at the
Chesterville select school. OF his early
life five years were spent as principal
of public schools and five years he gave
to the practice of law at Mt. Gilead,
Ohio, four years of which he was prose-
cutting attorney. On the first of Nov
ember, 1861, he enlisted for three
years in Co. g, 81st Ohio volunteer in
fantry. but the year following he was
discharged on account of physical disa-
bility, he having been injured in the
right eye, the effect of which continued
up to the time of his death.
He was appointed adjutant in the
National Guards and served with the
136th o. V. N. G. for 100 days defend
ing the city of Washington, D. c., dur
ing the summer of 1864, holding the
position as adjutant of the brigade.
Shortly after his conversion to re.
ligious life he entered the ministry OF
the Methodist church and for thirty
years he has preached to numbers OF
congregations, his time being equally
divided in that respect between Michi-
gan and South Dakota. While in
Michigan Mr.. Boggs served faithfully
as presiding elder and was also secre
tary of that conference. he was 6
ference, coming to the state in an early
day. During the years OF 1885, 'S6, -
and 'SS Mr.. Boggs was secretary OF thu
Dakota conference. In 1890 Mr.. Bogg
and family moved to. Mitchell from
Redfeld and for two years was pasto
of the Methodist church. In the fal
of 1893 Mr.. Boggs was appointed presid
ing elder OF the Mitchell district, whicl
position he filled with remarkabl
success until last July, when he wa
forced to give up the work on accoun
of his failing health.

and no task in his field was too irk-

he entered gladly into the accomplish

conference will be hard to fill, for in
that body of religious workers he was

and leader to many. His work has been
we'll and thoroughly done and he can
now enter into the joys of his reward
