NEoDEsHA voted $50, 900 for gas and
water works bonds and already the
exchanges are speaking of her as zone
of the most heavily bonded cities in
the state Do we want Iola's excel
lent reputation abroad hereafter to
bear such blasting appendage?
Manufacturers and other investors are
the first people to learn these things
and they cannot be buttonholed ON
the street and persuaded that it is a
good thing for lola. They have had
experience and they don't like that
side of q bond.
SO far as we have been able to
learn there is no Kansas law which
makes provision for any city conduct
ing any business for profit. Would
it not be well to have such law
pointed out before we invest SAC, OOe
in business which must either be
conducted at profit or else leave the
$40, 900 saddled on the taxpayers?
The issue of the gas and water
bonds recently voted by Neodesha
will be contested i'm the courts and
the validity of the public utilities law
will be tested. 1t is pity lola
couldn't wait until this case is fought
out before getting into the same racket
herself
In nine cases out of ten where the
experiment has been tried the result
of municipal ownership of natural
gas plants has been increased taxes,
| poorer service and eventual loss of the
| whole sum invested.
WHO have put up the money and
spent the time to boom lola, the men
that are fighting the bonds or the
men that are favoring them?
WHO would he hurt the worst if
city ownership should prove a failure,
the men who favor it or the men who
oppose it?
THIS isn't fight for the gas COM
pany. 1t is a fight to save lola from
Il debt that will break her back.
CITY ownership will not bring a
single factory to lola or give any
laborer days job.

was the performers. The ladies were

escorts were all neat and clean and had
the appearance of perfect gentlemen.

Everything about MIR. Wallace is 80
much of a lover of horses that he
makes them the leading attraction of
his show, and in that respect excels all
rivals. The four handsome "Wallace
lions'' carried in the double cage, are
the same that escaped some years ago
and caused so great sensation. The
Bloomer Brigade-young ladies riding
astride-was noval feature. The
parade was noticeable for its length
and the massiveness of the vehicles.
While the crowd was inspecting the
menagerie, the great Wallac gym
phony band gave an hours concert of
delightful selections. after which the

the other novel displays in the circus
programme were the grand corps du
ballet, from Paris; the wonderful aero
batic performance of the nine Nelson
family; the flying trapez feats of the
Earl sisters; the bicycle work of the re-
nowned Stirk family; the mid-air fight
of the Angelo sisters and the great
Ferris wheel trapeze acts of the Vortex
sisters. The performance was greatly
enjoyed by an immense crowd of peo-
pie.
Mr.. Wallace has succeeded in gather
ing formidable array of talent and is
able to give performance which is in
every way satisfying to the public. He
has fine equipment for the transporta-
tion Of his show, the cars all being
painted white and present clean and
neat appearance.

Along and More are Coming.
Adventism is being we'll exemplifed
in Mitchell just now. At presen
there are between 300 and 400 people in
the city from all over the Stale who are
followers of this religion, peculiar,
probably, to some people, but to the fol-
lowers it offers bright attractions.
The first meeting of public nature
was held IN the corn palace Monday
evening when Rev j. N. Watt deliver
ed sermon Of great interest on relig-
ious topics, and he was materially as
sis ed in his services by large choir
of young ladies and gentlemen.
Tuesday the first session of the
conference was held in the corn palace,
presided over by President Milliman.
The various committees we're appoint
ed to select officers, who will be elect
ed before the close of the season.
The meeting of the Scandivaviane
and Germans will be held in their
tents every day and evening and the
gentlemen in charge are capable and
instructive leaders. Every body is in
vited to attend these meetings.
The dining hall in the Hitchcock
building furnishes meals to any person

Elder Milliman is the president O
the conference and is q genial gentle

The Wallace Circus Made It's Second Visit
to Mitchell Wednesday.
The people of Mitchell have differ
ent idea of the Wallace Shows now
than they had several years ago when
they were here. At that time the show
was under different management but
for the past three years Mr.. B. E. Wal
lace has given the show his personal
management and under those circum-
stances he has purified the atmosphere
of his show by eliminating all Of those
features of gamblers and toughs and to-
day it can be said that none Of that class
of people are permitted to accompany
the circus in any capacity whatever.
Good order is maintained around the
tents, no loud talking or swearing and
everything moves along in regulation
shape.
The parade, which is usually good
index of show, was something surpas-
sing in elegance, and demonstrates the
magnitude of Mr.. Wallace's undertak
ing in the circus business.
When the parade turned up Mair
street the sidewalks were SO blocked
with people that locomotion was vel
nigh impossible. The first attraction
Was band wagon, drawn by six of the
finest black horses ever seen in Mitch
ell. Then followed, in succession
cages, band wagons, elegantly capar
isoned horses, ridden by male and fe
male performers, women driving fou
horses each, attached to Roman char
lots, monster elephants, a splendid here

SEVENTH DAY ADyENTIsTS HERE

The Nineteenth Annual Conference BE-
gan Tuesday at the Corn Palace.
(From Mondays Daily.)
One of the great religious gatherings
of South Dakota is now assembled in
Mitchell-the nineteenth annual con-
ference of the Seventh Day Adven lists.
For the past two weeks the advance
workers have been here making the ar
rangements for the reception of the
crowd that was coming. They have
put up great many tents for the camp
ers and tents for the religious gather
ings, and they have held what is called
workers meetings.. AT present about
one-half Of the tents are erected on the
grounds north of the corn palace, and
they are laid out into regulation streets,
each tent is mum bered and at the recep-
tion tent is the registration list which
son in the camp. Tents have been
erected in which the separate meetings
of the Germans, Scandinavians and
English speaking people are to be heidi
leaders having been provided in each
instance. The camp meeting is not for
pleasure, far from it, but these earnest
religious people come from all parts Of
| the state to engage in q season of relig-
ious sociability and they attend these
services with devoutness and regular
ity that is quite pleasing TO contem-
plate.
There are number of prominent
leaders among the Adventists here who
will conduct the meetings, and they are
as follows: W. T. Milliman, president
OF the South Dakota conference. He is
assisted by Elder N. P. Nelson, who is

Fellows Who Robbed the Mt. Vernon
Store Were Caught in Badger.
AS has already been mentioned in
this paper the Mt. Vernon Merchandise
Co.'S. store was broken into Wednesday
night and q small amount of money was
taken from the cash register. The
safe was gone through but there was no
money in it, having been deposited in
the bank. Mark Belts came over to
this city Thursday and with Sheriff
Cook they started out to find the rob-
bers, Mr.. Belts having secured clew
as to the direction the fellows took.
They drove to Letcher but could get
no trace Of the robbers and started
back home. Late in the afternoon Mr..
Belts and Sheriff Cook arrived at the
Forbes farm, in Badger township, aud
seeing Mr.. Forbee at work in the field
inquired if he had seen the strangers,
but he had not. They went over to an
old house, at one end of the farm, and
used for granary, and broke open the
door. A search on the lower floor re-
vealed not the presence of the burglars,
but on going up stairs they found the
robbers lying on the floor, where they
thought themselves safe from detect
ion. They gave up and were brought
to town by the sheriff and Mr.. Belts
and placed in jail. The robbers gave
their names as King and Kelley and
were pretty well equipped with tools to
carry on the burglar business success
fully, having in their possession dyn-
amite bomb and caps, powder, fuses,
five drills and two revolvers, and had
about $50 between them. Sheriff Cook
took possession of the entire outfit.
King and Kelley we're taken before
Judge Abbey Friday for a preliminary
examination. They had no attorney
and attempted no defense and conse.
quently they were bound over to the
| November term of court in the sum oil
1 $500 each.
Mr.. Snow, of Kimball, was in towr
Friday and after examining the drills
expressed the opinion that these were
the same fellows who blew open the
safe in the Snyder store at that place
last Saturday evening, when about $l2;
was stolen. The holes in the safe were
the same size as the drills carried by
King and Kelley. A good deal of thi
work has been going on in this part o
the state recently and Sheriff Cook ha
put a stop to some OF it at least by ar
resting these men.

WERE MARRIED WEDNESDAY,,

The Wedding of f. F. Dundass and Miss
Lewis Occurred in the Catholic Church.
At 8 o'clock Wednesday morning oc-
cured the marriage DR.. E. F. Dundass
and Miss Esther Lewis. Promptly at

the church headed by the BRIDES sister,
Miss Laura. and Mr.. Jos. Eerbert
followed by the bridal couple and
parents of the bride, Mr.. and Mrs.
L. w. Lewis, and of the groom, DIR.
and r. F. Dundass and relatives.
Kneeling at the altar the bridal couple
awaited the coming of Father Hogan
and who performed the ceremony in
manner that was impressive. The re-
sponses by the couple were made in
clear, distinct voice. The bride looked
very handsome dressed in her costume
of white and the groom was dressed in
the conventional black. At the the
conclusion of the ceremony the we'd
ding party retired to the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Lewis. where a wedding
breakfast was served. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dundass took the south Milwaukee at
IL o'clock for Armour, where they will
reside in the future, and where the
groom is engaged in the practic OF den
tistry.
The bride is an accomplished young
| lady of winning and graceful manners
and is held in high esteem by q large
circle of friends. She is graduate of
the city schools and also of the Madison
state normal school, and has taught
several terms of school in this county.
The groom is a young gentleman who
has lived in Mitchell number of years
and has the esteem and respect o. the
people. He recently moved to Armour,
where he is engaged in the practice of
dentistry and has worked up q good
business. The union of this worthy
young couple portends much happiness
to them, and The REPUBLICAN along
with their friends trusts that it will
come to them in unmeasured guam
titles.

THE MEETINGS PROGRESSING

The Adventists are Very Busily Engaged
in Their Conference Matters.
The camp is rapidly being filled with
delegates and visitors from all parts of
the state. Over 100 tents are already
erected and many more will
soon be needed. Many of these tents
are we'll supplied with necessary con-
veuiences for comfort while they stay
with us. One large tent has been erec-
ted to exhibit the literature of the de-
nomination. The Adventists have
given considerable attention to the pub
fishing work. They are publishing in
32 different languages and since 1854
their book sales have amounted to over
SO, ,O00.0OO. Visitors will do we'll to call
and examine their stock of interesting
books and papers.
At the opening session of the confer
ence Tuesday Elder N. P. Nelson, who
has the honor of beirg the irst Seventh
Day Adventist in South Dakota 25
years ago, gave very touching fare
we'll address as he retired iron his
connection with this conference to ac-
cept the presidency of the Nebraska
conference. The growth of the cause
in the state and a good surplus in the
treasury for still greater operations in
the future speaks we'll for the manage
ment of the business.
| Meetings are held in the Scandina-
| Wan tent at $50 8. M, 500 q. M, and 6
p. m. each day. The Germans have
regular service at 1O:3O g. m., 2:3O p.
m. and e:l5 p. M, to which all of these
| nationalities are cordially invited.
| Elder G. P. Fredrickson of Colorado
gave an able address Tuesday evening
from Acts 1918. He said in substance
that God had provided sufficient facili-
ties for making this gathering profit
able occasion to all assembled. That
provision is the aid of the Holy Spirit
that is promised to all that are willing
to receive it. God had purpose in the
creation of this world, and that was
that it should be peopled with pure
and holy people, that would OF their
own free will serve and adore their
Creator. Sin came in and has deferred
the realization of His eternal purpose
but has not frustrated the Divine plan
The provisions made for salvation
through Jesus Christ was not neces
sity caused by an emergency brought
on by Satan's attempt to desJroy God'l
government. When it was decided tx
create man free moral agent provi
sion was made for any contingency tina
might arise. Did God plan fo
} sin? No, but He did plan hov
to meet the effects of sin if any of hi
creatures should choose to experimen
with evil. You would not say that be
cause the hotel keeper put fire escape
on his building that he was planning
for it to burn. You would conclud
that he was only providing for such
possibility. So God knows and ha
provided for all of His works in Hi
) cause for all time.
l At tlO:3o Wednesday Elder N. W. Kat
( BILE, president of Union college, Lin
coin, Neb., gave an interesting accour

Saturdays Game at Carbondale.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the Carbondale items in your
paper of Oct. II it was stated that the
Carbondale Indians defeated The School
of the Lackawanna, of this place. AS the
correspondent to your paper in Carbon
dale is also the captain of the Indians We
can easily account for this mistaken re-
port of Saturdays game. The score given
by the officials when the game broke up
was five to nothing in favor of LacKa-
wanna.
In the second half after a few minutes
playing Brown, of LaCkawanna, was
showed over the line for "A touchdown No
goal was kicked, no attempt to kick It
being made. There had been a great deal
of olfside playing by Carbondale all dur
ing the game and they had been penalizcd
once. On tumble made by Lackawanna
and secured by Carbondale man the ball
was carried TO Lackawannas fifteen-yard
line. Here they became so excited tn 1 t
they commenced playing offside again
and after being warned three times by
the umpire, the ball was given to Lack
awanna on her ten-yard line.
This was taken rs a chance for gem
cral wrangle. And time was called to
settle the dispute when one or two OF
the Carbondale boys picked up the ball
and ran across the goal line with it and
afterwards kicked the goal. the officials

'The ball is dead" according to rule

blows his whistle or declares a down.
No play can be made when the ball is
dead, except to put IT in play according %

and in every case after time has been
taken out, he shall ascertain from each
captain that his team is ready before

AS this touchdown and goal was made
during the time taken out and without
any opposition il was therefore no goal

When the time allowed for such Contro-
versies was up 1.-TWO minutes) the referee
called the two teams to line up. The In
dians refused to do so and the officials

score then stood. Final score, Lacka-
