The year book of the Dakota
conference which embraces all of
the state east of the Missouri
river has just been published,
the reports having been made at
the con ference held in this city
last October. The report of the
church at Milbank shows 18 pro-
bationers and 115 full members;
two deaths; IL baptisms; paid on
improvements during the year
$3.50; paid on old Indebtedness
$344; teachers .and officers in
Sunday school %; scholars en-
rolled 200; average attendance
1873; paid on ministerial, presid-
ing elder claims and episcopal
claims 1912; paid on church ex-
penses and conference claims
$3.50; Sunday school lesson leaves
and books $65; collected for mis-
sions, $102; other church
benevolences 1894. A summary
of theconferencestatis ii IS for the
year is as follows: There are
1O,587 members and 843 proba-
toners; 222 Sunday schools, and
1850 scholars. These are as
sociated with 167 churches valued
at 1885, 500. There are eighty
eight parsonages, worth 1884, ,525.
This church paid $21,947 last
year for improvements on it's
churches aud $14,53 on old
debts. The present indebted
ness upon the church is $31, 286.
Last year $79,O47 was raised
for support of its ministers, of
whom there are eighty-four mem
bers of the conference and seven
teen upon probation. Of the
members of the conference, ten
are superanuated, four are super
numerary and five are left with
out appointment to attend col
lege. Besides the above minis
terial force twenty-four more are
used as supplies. There are 1O6
men actually in the work, and if
we divide the $500 equally to
these, it will appear that each
Methodist preacher in this state
east of the Missouri river gets
$775.77.
The missionary society Of the
great church appropriated to this
conference $3.50 last year, and
the church raised for the mis-
sionary society 1854, or 1896
less than it received.
The Woman's Missionary So
ciety raised $1,473, which was
1926 less than the year before.

Hot Springs.

The government reservation at Hot
Springs consists of 1000 acres, embrace
ing all that part of the city east of the
creek and including the mountain from
which the hot water comes. Uncle
Sam not only owns all the hot springs,
of which there are seventy-two, but he
regulates their use. There are twenty
two lighthouses which are leased by
the government The prices for baths
and fees of attendants are prescribed
by law, and no deviation can be made.
The average temperature of the water
is 1873 degrees, but there are places
where it is SO as it oozes from the
mountain side that a cooling process is
necessary before it can be used for
bathing purposes.
The government has expended more
than $1,000,000 in improvements on the
reservation. The army and navy hos
pital is pronounced one of the most
elaborate and best appointed govern
ment hospitals in the world. The hos
pital grounds and, in fact, the entire
Hot Springs mountain are beautifully
laid out in walks, drives and flower
beds

The Decline Of TimidIty.

Man having lost his exclusive privi-

as protector of the sex. One reads ev-

The Evelinas and Cecelias of a few
years ago swooned at the sight of a
burglar, were equally helpless upon oc.
casions of conilagration and permitted
unrequited love to rob them of theft
sleep and their bloom. But now all
such seeming disasters are looked upon
as opportunities for self revelation
and individual development" and to
miss them is to arrest the growth of
the soul.

damsel of today is that she does not
wear her courage upon her sleeve, but
keeps it hidden behind the shiest OF
demeanors. OF course there are still

close proximity of spiders and who be

spider assume the proportions of a
dragon and they are ready to share
with st. George the honors of putting
him down. So far woman has not as
serted her right to the privilege of pro
tecting the st. Georges from modern
dragons, but with her growing distnc-
ton as an athlete and her repeated ex-
hibitions of moral fearlessness it may
be expected that these gentlemen will
soon look to her for such preservation,
