SLURS ON REVIVALS.
tnchristian Speech Condemned by
Rev. j. Wilbur Chapman

Rev. j. William Chapman. who has been
conducting a successful series of revival
meetings in various local churches, ad-
dressed three large congregations yester-
day. In the forenoon he held a large
meeting in the Luther Place Memorial
Church. At i:l5 o'clock n second service
was held at the New York Avenue Pres
byterian Church, and the regular even
ing meeting was held in the Calvary Bap-
tist Church. The sermon preached by Dr.
Chapman in the morning dwelt with
various methods of church work and the
duty of Christians toward the weak mem
bers of the community. The evangelist
spoke of the disposition on the part OF
some persons to speak deprecatingly OF
revival meetings, and characterized the
slurs, which are sometimes cast upon
men who backslide, as unchristian speech
The meeting held in the Calvary Bap-
tist Church in the evening was even
larger than the other monster meetings
held in that edifice during the past week.
The weather, though inclement, seemed 10
have no material effect on the attendance.
Thus far, the series has been just as sue
cessful as the Moody meetings. which
were held here several years ago.

A new TURN TO THE
ARMY BEEF ENQUIRY
General Miles Now Represent
ed by Counsel.
Meat That Tasted Like Harness

Singing Arrangement of the Com
missnry Department by the Men
Who Suffered Through 1t.

One of the principal features of the pro-
ceedings of the Court of Enquiry yester-
day was the appearance of Major Jesse
Lee of the Ninth Infantry. as counsel for
General Miles.
1t is understood that General Miles and
his partisans in the army have been Of
fenced at the course of the enquiry. 1t is
claimed that officers of the Commissary
Department have been put on the stand
! and examined at great length with view
to filling the records of the Court with tss-
timony in defence of army beef and the
methods of the Subsistence Department,
and that witnesses whose testimony was
against the beef were not developed on the
stand; that is, as soon as it became ap-
parent that their evidence was not such
as would give pleasure to the Court, the
witness would be politely dismissed.
General Miles recently wro.e to the Court
suggesting that certain witnesses be re-
called and asked questions. list of which
he submitted. He was given a rep.y which
was considered unsatisfactory. Major
Lee. whose first appearance before the
Court was as a witness, asked that he
might aid in the examination of the nom
commissioned officers of the Ninth lnfan-
try. who testified that the meat issued to
them in Cuba was unfit for use. The re-
quest of Major Lee was agreed to- Major
Lee did not, however, confine himseif 10

suggested questions for other witnesses,

The porch of Mrs Cages granite resi-

necessary adjunct to the decoration of

Major Lee Discussed.

This threw the Court into several ex-
ecutive sessions, at which the status of
Major Lee was discussed. Major Lee was
asked to explain his position. II is re-
ported that he was asked directly if he
appeared in court as the attorney for Gen
eral Miles. He stated that he did not ap-
pear as the attorney for General Miles,
but merely as his friend. He desired to
assist the recorder in the examination of
witnesses. This offer was declined. Then
the Recorder of the Court. Colonel Davis
addressed letter to General Miles, ask
ing If he desired TO be represented by
counsel. The general made his reply yes
terday. He desired. he said TO be present
by attorney, and asked that Major Lee
be recognized as his representative. The
letter from the Commanding General of
the Army was considered in executive ses-
sion. When the Court reconvened, after
the afternoon recess. Major Lee was in
troduced to the Court by Colonel Davis
as counsel for General Miles From that
time, every witness was subjected TO
cross examination.
II is declared by the military authorities
that this does not put General Miles in
the position of a defendant Colonel
Davis stated last evening that the Court
of Enquiry does not consider General
Miles a defendant.
The first witness sworn yesterday was

Electric Plant at Mystic,

The Hill City News is the author
ity for the stpte'nent that Prof.
Long of Chicago, who is very fami,
liar with the prospects of the South
ern Hills bv reason Of his frequent
visits here and Investment of capital
in this region, purchased last week
five of placer ground near
Mystic from Mr.. Brown. He has
relocated the same as a mill site and
will secure title to the same from
the government as quick as possible.
1t is his intention to erect there an
electric plant of one hundred tons
capacity to treat ore. The great
value of this reduction work, so we
understand, lies in the fact that it
can treat low grade bodies of ore
which other plants cannot. Now,
the Southern Hills have large bodies
of such ore which have remained
untouched on account of the little
value they contained. Now, if this
plant will do what is claimed for
it, it car be readily seen what a
stimulus to mining it will give to
this RECON. The works will be
located at the junction of the B. &
NJ. and Dakota Pacific roads that
traverse through a large mineral
belt on Spring creek, Castle, and
Rapid creeks. This will give most
prospects an opportunity to ship
their ore, with little expense to this
new plant for treatment, and with
the returns will enable them to
prosecute work continually on claims
on which they have only done the
assessment work with the hope OF
meeting a capitalist to take them off
their hands for a nice round sum.
The new plant will very soon estab-
l'sh the value of mining claims. and
if successful, prospectors will have
no trouble in disposing of them.
