NUMBER II.

The Year Book shows the following
facts in reference to the Mitchell Meth
odist church. For missions 1891, for all
other benevolences S632, which with
what was raised for Sunday school,
support OF the minister and pay of sex
ton and Ladies Aid, makes q total Of
S3,02S. 1t then is evident, that if there
is no way of getting to the pocket but
through the heart, Methodism has
very strong hold on the hearts of those
who attend this church. There are
300 mem bers in this church who are iv-
ing in or near Mitchell, and SO whose
names are retained on the church
record that have removed from the
city. The pastor received into the
church last year As persons, and dis
missed by letter 20. The Sunday school

largement of the old is necessary to
meet the growing. needs of the people.

What a Man Can't Do.

+, Alexandria Herald: When man
comes before the public he has done
wonders. He has navigated the ocean;
he has penetrated the mysteries of the
starry heavens; he has harnessed the
waterfalls and made them light the
great cities OF the world. But withal
he can't fEd spool Of thread In, bis
wife's work basket; he can't discove,
her pocket in dress hanging in q
wardrobe; he cannot hang out clothes
on a line and get them right side up.
Neither can he hold the clothespins in
his mouth while he is doing it either,
He cannot thread needle or sew on 8
button. In short he cannot do two
things at q time. But y woman can fry
q steak and see that the coffee doesn't
boil over and watch that the cat does
not steal the remnant of meat on the
kitchen table and dress the youngest
boy and set the table and see to the
toast and stir the oatmeal and give or
ders to the butcher and she can do it al
at once and not half try.

termine the meaning OF the red badge
until Saturday evening when an open
nesting OF the society was given.
The red badge meant anarchism and
a burlesque meeting of anarchists was
given. There were all kinds of anar-
chists present, including the German,
Russian, Italian and religious anar-
chists, then there were the radical an.
archists of the most pronounced type,
the cooler and more peaceful and the
windy anarchists. Each OF them deliv-
cred themselves of some vitriolic
speeches against all kinds of govern
ment, and the sentiments we're cheered
to the echo. The necessary accompani-
ments of anarchism, liquor and tobacco,
were used freely during the meeting.
After the discussion was finished lots
were drawn to see who would kill the
German emperor. There was a spy in
the crowd, and it fell to his lot to com
NIT the act. The spy, however, blew
the whistle and the police rushed in
and arrested the whole crowd, the cur
tain going down on q scene of confu-
sion. A moment later the curtain was
raised again and waving over the crowd
of anarchists was the American flag, in:
dicating that they had reformed and
promised to be good citizens.
1t was an interesting entertainment
and there is some talk of having it re
peated down town at an early date.

Doubling Up Values.

Sioux Falls Argus Leader: The New
York World is compiling an exhaustive
article on the land values: and land re-
sources OF the western states. A couple
of days ago the local representative of
the World was asked to furnish the In
formation desired for South Dakota and
the following is what he sent that paper
which is q true description Of the situa-
ton in this state: - '.t' J,
The present year has Witnessed phe-
nominal advance in the'price of South
Dakota land, especially agricultural
land. This is due partially to the good
record the stateShas made in production
in the past few years, and to the faot
that wealthy eastern farmers, as we'll
as residents of the state are beginning
to realize that good farming land is be-
coming comparatively scarce.
South Dakota farms which few
years ago sold for few dollars an acre
now find ready buyers at from twelve to
twenty y-ive dollars per acre. Land in
the agricultural portion of the state,
that part lying east of tho Missouri
river has doubled in value during the
present year. There are numerous in
stances in which it has done even bet
ter than that.
The experience OF w. Fl. Howdle, of
Hurley, illustrates the extent to which
South Dakota farm lands have ad-
vanced in value in the last few years.
-Four years ago he purchased six quar-
ter sections -960-of farm land near
Hurley, for 500, 200. He rently sold the
tract to an Illinois man for S3S, 400,
thereby receiving Sis, 200 more than he
paid for it.
In addition he has each season made
large profits from the crops raised on
!, the land. Scores Of similar advances
| could be cited. To thu farmer who cul-
tivates land in eastern states which is
worth one hundred dollars an acre and
upwards, South Dakota farm lands at
from twenty-five to sixty dollars an
acre seem cheap.

There are TO- ,5S7 members, and S43

scholars. These are associated with l67
churches, valued, at 1895, 500 There
are IS parsonages, worth S84, ,525.

debtedness upon the church is S31, 286,
Last year S79,O47 was raised for sup.
port OF its ministers, of whom there are
"a members OF the conference, and II
upon probation. OF the members OF the
conference, ten are superannuated, foul
supernumarary and FIVE are left without
appointment to attend college. Besides
the above ministerial force "a more are
used as supplies. There are 106 mer

the S79, ,o47 equally to these, it will ap

GETTING READY FOR CONTEST
The Orators Of Dakota University
Will Soon Have the Local Con-
test for State Honors.

Several orators over at Dakota Unit
versity are at work on their productions
for the local contest which will be held
somewhat earlier this year than in
former years. From the local contest
will be selected the orator who will ap.
pear in the state contest to represent
the University.
Dakota University stands up well ia
rank for having won the greater num-
ber Of contests and now has in it's poses-
sion two trophies that is the result of
it's orators abilities. This high stand
ing the college wants to maintain to the
credit OF the city it represents.
Next year the oratorical and athletic
contests will be held at Huron, this de-
cision being reached at the last meeting
of the associations in this city. The
meeting Of the college bodies had bee n
Ipermar emily located at Mitchell. but it
was thought that more interest would
be taken In the meetings if they were
passed around to the other college
towbs.
The local athletic association had es.
pecislly prepared its grounds at heavy
contests permanently.
improvements In Small Towns.
There is disposition in great m any
OF the smaller towns in the state for
public improvements in the way o-
lighting facilities, telephone, etc
Kim oall is agitating the putting in O.
several large gasoline street lamps, and
Mt. Vernon will vote next week on {
similar proposition. Ashton citizeus
are figuring on putting in an electric
light plant, the power for which will be
furnished by au artesian we'll, thus re-
ducing very much the expensiveness O
operating the system. A local phone
System is also another improvement
that is bsing contemplated.
| In many other localities similar pub
lie enterprises are being agitated with
every indication of being carried to I
final conclusion. 1t indicates an ex.
ceeding]y progressive spirit in towr
of 300 to 500 people to put in these i'm
provements, and from the amount O
business that is transacted there seems
to be plenty of financial backing to the
contemplated enterprises.
These people in the smaller towns
Jfeel that they can afford these improve
ments and want to enjoy some OF the
good things that come to the larger
communities. There are mighty few
eastern towns of similar size that would
have the nerve to attempt some of the
things already accomplished by South
Dakota towns. So much . for western
enterprise.
