The annual conference of the pastors
of the German Lutheran Synod of Min
nesota and the Dakotas was held last
week at Sleepy Eye. Forty eight pas
tors were in attendance and Rev. Cause

er OF Morgan was the conference secre-
tary. Among the doctrlna' questions
discussed was the following: F!'w Must

Is or Who Becomes a Member of ANY
Secret Order?" The question was dis
posed of after eighteen hours of debate,
the decision being that members of the
Lutheran church should not belong to
any secret order. In the event that ar
gument and other means fail to wean
the offender from the secret order, it is
within the power of each congregation

The Sleepy Eye Dispatch records an
instance of criminal neglect that is shock
ing. 1t says: The sudden death of the
Gehert woman, who has been living in
shanty in the extreme western part, of
the town for two years past discloses
what is, to say the least, avery peculiar
state of affairs, and proves, if it proves
anything, that human life is very cheap
commodity in this part of the wcrld.
Several weeks ago the Gehert woman
was delivered of an illegitimate child.
The child was still-born, according to
some statements, but, howeversthat may
be, the infant is dead now, and was
buried IN hastily-dug hole near the
house occupied by the family and at a
spot known only to the mother who in
tered the remains with her own hands
a few minutes after its birth.
After the birth of the child the mother
was taken sick with blood poisoning.
She was treated by the county physician,
but would not take bis advice and care.
She told the doctor the father of the
child was a certain married man of the
vicinity. Last Sunday afternoon the
woman came up town and that night
was taken suddenly sick and after Two
hours of agony died. These are the bare
facts and 1t is only fair to say that all
sorts of rumors are afaat among the
neighbors. The coroner was informed
of the death of the child and also of some
of the rumors as to how it came to its
death, but he took no action in the prem
ises.
# .sThe self made man., remarked the
observer Of men and things, awouId
give more general satisfaction, doubtless,
if he tired himself on time or two be- |
fore he was done. z
