What Joe Greene Has Raised.

While j. M. Greene, of Chamberlain,
was returning from an eastern trip he
wasinterviewed by Sioux City Journal
reporter and this is what Joe told him
about his irrigated farm near Cham
berlain, over which P. T. Burns, form
erly of this city, has charge:
"Joe Letter and l." said Mr.. Green,

AT THE METHODIST CHURCH.
women's Foreign Missionary Society Con-
duct Services Sunday Evening.

WOmen'S Foreign Missionary society Con-
duct Services Sunday Evening.
The Woman's Foreign Missionary
society occupied the Sunday evening
services at the Methodist church. Mrs.
A. c. Stevens, president of the Mitch
ell auxiliary, had charge of the exer-
cises. The other officers and ladies of
the society on the platform were Mes
danes Boggs, Hager, Potter, Keith and
Hitchcock. A chorus choir, with Mrs
r. N. Kratz as organist, led the sing
ing. The program was as follows:
After prayer by the pastor duett was
rendered by Mrs. Stevens and Miss
Boggs. Then came recitation by
Mrs. Slocum, 'sThe Deacon's Turtle"
containing some telling points on Civ
ing to the Lord, illustrating how some
penpie, though always giving in small
IL noun ts and grudgingly, never realize
the real pleasure of this service until
certain proportion of their incomes il
set aside. Mrs. Hitchcock presented
strong logical paper on the subjec,
"Why Ought We to Give to Foreign
Missions" showing the abundant re-
sources of our Christian America. max
ing comparison Of what is spent for
luxuries and vices in it's billions over
against the almost paltry sum given for
the amelioration of the darkness and
ignorance of heathendom. To America
is given the solution of the worlds
problems, we plead the needs at thome-
where we have Christian forces so
thoroughly organized that if one is not
benefited it is bscause of his own voli-
tions. In the worlds fields, white now
for harvest, there is only one worker
for every 200, 900 inhabitants.
After an anthem by the University
choir, Mrs. G. e. Hager discussed the
question "Why not Obey?" Mrs.
Hager has deeply interested herself in
mission work. She is one of the con-
ference officers of the W. Il. M. S.
Her talk was plain, pointed and help
full. Lack of inclination and interest is
the real reason why so few obey.
A reading entitled Thanksgiving
Ann,' by Miss Julia Rogers, was one Of
the most interesting numbers of the
program. Splendidly rendered, it con-
veyed practical lesson to the audi
ence. A male quartet composed o.
Messrs. Rothenberger, Kratz, Blanch
ard and Sage gave pleasing number
Miss Meyer reported "Our Work,
taking up the special work of the loca
organization little girl of India
whose name was given in memory of {
little girl, Libbie Noble, who died il
Mitchell several years ago, is being
entirely supported and educated by The
Mitchell Auxiliary of the w, F. M. S
This practical putting OF the case re
suited in generous collection after ,
short appeal by the president. Owe
$1,000 was freely given by the larg'
congregation. The society is evident
ly in most fourishing condition.

The Members of Society Were Pleasantly
Entertained Saturday.
At the home of Mrs. Louis Beckwi,h
Saturday afternoon number Of her
lady friends were entertained in most
delightful manner. AZ three o'clock
the guests began arriving and until
nearly all we're there the time was
passed in discussing matters of a social
nature. Mrs. Beckwith departed from
the usual lines of entertainment and
provided her guests with musical and
literary numbers. Miss Harker, the
elocutionisJ, was on the list for three
numbers, but in each instance the en-
core she received was. so vigorous and
prolonged that she had TO respond. The
elocution numbers were iuterspersed
with musical selections by Miss Goody-
koontz, who sang to the great pleasure
of her hearers, Mrs. J. N. Grow rem
dered piano solo in manner to win
deserved applause, Mrs. Lou Ella Smith
gave a vocal selection which was re-
ceived with very favorable comment,
and Mr. Beckwith rendered a baritone
solo that was given in his usually
finished manner This way of enter
tanning was an innovation and was de-
clared to be one that found favor with
all. At the conclusion of the program
small tables were placed together,
which accommodated eight ladies, and
refreshments were served. which COM
pleted the success of the afternoon pro-
gram. The entire lower part of the
house was thrown open for the affair
and the rooms were decorated profusely
and in a tasty manner with house
plants. Mrs. Beckwith has the art of
entertaining her friends to nicety and
the function of Saturday added to her
already established reputation on that
point. On departing the ladies ex-
pressed their pleasure at the hospital
ity they had So richly enjoyed.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
The Enormous Approximate Cost of
the Big Undertaking.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Admlral
Walker, chairman of the NIcaraguRn
canal commission, when questioned to-
day as to the time when the report OF
the commission would be sent to con-
Eress, said that the time could not be
stated definitely as the report had not
been signed nor entirely completed, He
presumed, however, that It would be
ready within the next few days. In
answer to further inquiries the admiral
said that there was no difference OF
opinion among the members OF the
commission, except possibly on the
question OF cost, and that difference
might be adjusted so that the report
would be unanimous on all points, Ow-
ing to the illness of Mr.. Halues during
the last ten days practically nothing
had been done, but now that the COM
mission was together again q concltl-
sion on this and other points might be
expected soon.
Some months ago Admiral Walker
stated 20 a committee OF congress that
In his judgment the canal would not
cost more than S125,OO0,OOO, Another
member OF the commission fixed the
maximum at $40, 900 900, but stated that
1t might cost considerably less and II
had been the opinion OF the third mem-
ber OF the commission that the canal
would not cost more than $90.0OO,O00 =
Al were agreed, however, that these
figures were and could be only approXl-
nations. There were too many Consld-
erations and contingencies that might
change the result materially. An epi-
demic OF cholera or fever might lay OF
half the working force; accidents TO
machinery or possibly earthquakes
might damage the work in course of
construction and while none OF these
would be likely TO happen vet they
were among the possibilities and In es-
tlmatIng the cost OF the work a ren-
sonablc provision had been made for
accidents OF various kinds, All mem
bers OF The commission he said are
agreed that the construction of the ca
nal on the route proposed Is entirely
feasible and should be prosecuted with
all reasonable expedition.

sENATORFRY TALKS
On the Provisions of the Treaty with
Reference to the Philippines.


WASHINGTON, Dec Ex-senator
Frye talked to Star reporter to-day
with respect TO the conditions attending
and resulting from the peace negotIa-
tlOns.
with respect to the frequently re-
peated statement In press dispatches
that the sentiment of the powers, with
the exception of England, was opposed
to the United States and looked with
dlsfavor upon the attitude of this gOv-
ernment in dealing with Spain, Senator
Frye said:
~ saw no evidence OF such sentiment
existing outside of France, and In
France that sentiment appeared 20 be
confined to the press. which does not
reflect the sentiment OF the nation nor
OF the people generally"
"Do VOu think there viii be mn early
restoration OF cordial relations between
Spain and the United States?"
II think that very soon after the rat
iflcatlon Of the peace treaty and tho
restoration OF diplomatic relations there
viii be no difficulty against the neEotia-
tlon OF commercial treaties and u treRtH

other matters directed toward the per-
feet restoration OF friendly relations
between the two governments. do
not believe that the Spanish govern
ment will be ut all disposed TO keep
unfrlendly feeling between the two gov
ernments. The making OF new treaties
adapted to the present conditions will
be better than would the restoration OF
the old treaties, some features OF which
were obsolete

spect to the treaty OF peace seems 10

ment Ia not committed by these nego-

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-A censored spe-
cIal cable to the Tribune from Havana
says:
RlotIng began at Montserrat tonight.
A battalion of Spanish troops hurried
from tha barracks on the Prado to Cal
iano street, the dividing line between
cuban and Spanish Territory.
Order was restored, but in the firing
which occurred before the troops ar
rived an eight-year-old Cuban child was
killed by stray bullet,
Spanish territory in the new world is
now limited to a narrow strip Of land
between Havana harbor and Gallqno
street. The flags of Cuba libre and the
United States are waving within two
blocks of the Prado, great boulevard
which runs through the center of Ha-
vana.
Montserrat having been evacuated the
place was alive to-day with cubans and
people generally. The scene enacted at
Cerro and Vedado last week and at
Jesus del Monte yesterday was re-
peated at Montserrat. There was even
a greater demonstration for Montserrat
comes almost to the city. Some Of the
flags leaped across the dividing line and
waved on the Spanish side.
The celebration which began on
Christmas night to-day reached Its
height, Crowds Of men and women
waving Cuban and American flags and
carrying branches Of trees paraded the
streets shouting and singing.
Many Americans went over to see the
demonstrations. They did not remain
long. Owing to the intense enthusiasm
the populace insisted on kissing the
bravo Americanos," whether they
wanted to be kissed or not.
Several arrays took place between
the Spanish residents and the Cubans.
A grocery keeper on oquepdo street re-
fused to put out the Cuban cOiors und
was beaten almost to deatn with sticks.
AS evening came on the demonstration
became noisier than ever as many OF the
negroes paFRdlng were drunk, and
greatly excited. The Americans be-
came fearful Of another clash with the
Spanish troops like that which ushered
