Will Keep State Fair.

Yankton people became alarmed at
the possibility of losing the state fair
and the other evening public meeting
was held to take some action in refer
ence to holding fair there this fall.
A report says that a good deal OF ZEN
thusiasm" was exhibited by tbs busi-
ness men and they determined to hold
another fair. There is an indebted ness
against the society which they say
will be met" Just when it will be
met is an inquiry that a good many ex-
hibitors would like to learn. Yank-
toms management of the state fair has
practically converted it into a county
Institution and it hasn't the power to
draw the crowds that state fair would
have. The new local directors say
they will make it the grandest tair In
the history of the state. We hope so.

EXTENT OF THE FAILURE.
Public Examiner Goes Through thu
Books of the Defunct Plank

FuOllc Examiner Taylor went

against the bank, as result of his in

nearly S4l, 1000. The bank has as as
sests notes to the amount of $4,000,
So, 1856 in cash and ST, 600 in real estate
loans, the latter being considered as
rather poor collateral. In the papers
was discovered an overdraf for $4,000.
Mr.. Taylor stated in his judgmen,
that the depositors would receive in
settlement so cents on the dollar, and
probably this might be increased.

THE IMPLEMENT DEALERS.
Annual Meeting Held and a New
Organization Effected at
Sioux Falls.

The state implement dealers held
their annual meeting at Sioux Falls
this week and they evidently had a
warm time over the organization. It
was the initial meeting of the dealers
and 1t took them some time to get
squared away to discover the best plan
to complete the organization. The
manufacturers and the travelling men
in the implement business we're present
and wanted to be included in the associ-
alton and this was the rock on which
they split. The retailers wanted to
Keep the organization strictly private,
as 1T related to themselves and the
matter was discussed pretty warmly
before it was definitely settled. When
1t came to vote on the proposition as
to whether the manufacturers and
travelling men were to become men,
bers it was defeated by vote of two to
one, and so the retailers will go it alone
IN their efforts to help themselves.
The excluded portion of the implement
men were disappointed in being turned
down, but the hope is left to them that
they be taken in next year if the pres
ent organization does not prove to be of
an advantage to the retail dealers,
When 1t came to the election of offio-
ers Mitchell WAS highly honored by the

DR.. John Presented a Strong Argu

D. John presented his lecture, Ibid
Man Make God, or Did God Make
Man." at the opera house Thursday
evening, and from the first words of the
lecturer to the close he held the un-
divided attention of the audience. DR..
Graham introduced the speaker in a
happy and very complimentary address.
The lecture is an answer to agnostics
in general and applied particularly to
the late Robert Ingersoll, but in the
discourse he resorted to no vitupera-
tion and was perfectly fair in his de-
ductions of the belief of the great
agnostic. DR.. John presented his
thoughts in language that was easy OF
understanding and it was not ut all
difficult to follow his line of reasoning
in his effort to prove the portion of bis
contention. One passage, in reference
to the bible conflicting with modern
science, was presented strongly, in
which he said: ''If the bible does not
conflict with any known fact OF modern
science, then it must have been in.

logical and biological knowledge con.
temporary with the age of the sacred
writer's was u chaotic mass Of ignor-
ance. II you had been guessing three
thousand years ago about the creation
OF light, yea, less than a century ago
you would have guessed the sun frs,
and light simultaneously or afterwards.
But Moses made happier guess. He
saw without the spectroscope what our
generation has seen with one. There
are universes now in process of eyolu-
tion before our eyes in which light has
appeared, but their blazing suns will
not appear for e 'ns yet to come. Moses
ls not incorrect up to date"
In reference to the progress made by
christianity the speaker said: "During
the present century when western
civilization has reached its climax, the
gospel has commended itself more
cogently 20 men Of intelligence than ever
before, and during the century in
which, by the prophecy of it's enemies,
it was to be sleeping in it's grave, it
has more than doubled the number of
its followers Just how long it will
take for Christianity to disappear if it
continues to double its force every
century, let us leave to the mathematics
of agnosticism."
In closing DR.. John made a grand
peroration on the destiny of the race
and the individual under the respective
hypothesis of agnosticism and chris
Unity.

and concert course occurs Jan. 30,
when the Smith Sisters, q concert COM
