Whereas, Religious services were
discontinued some years ago in the

have been restored by the present
board of regents, and whereas, it is
known that rank infidel notions,
which offend the good christian sense
of this state are promulgated by a
a certain professor now in the insti-
tuition. Therefore, resolved that we
assure the present board of regents
of our sympathy and hearty support,
and express the hope that the regents
will continue their patriotic work,
and at their earliest convenience
secure the removal of the professor
who has used his influence in the
BroOkings agricultural college to
outrage the Christian sentiment of
this state.

Our Late sul.sts

The assembling of the Dakota
conference IN Milbank last week
was quite an event in the history
of our town. The excellent man
ner in which the visiting minis
ters were cared for was credita-
BILE to the city and was thorough
ly appreciated BY the guests,
who without exception so far as
we could learn, were greatly
pleased and full of praise for
the hospitable and kindly manner
in which they had been enter.
tanned. On the other hand we
believe those who had the pleas
ure of entertaining these guests
will have a larger and broader
view of the ministry aud it's work
in South Dakota through their
association with their guests,
and many pleasant incidents will
be long remembered and friend
ships cherished because of these
associations.

will cut a wide swath In Grant county Republi-

is chronic boter. He has been standing can

Overwhelmingly defeated at Republican conven-
tons: Four years ago he bolted most of the
ticket, and last fall openly worked
with the Populists and sought q nomination on
the Populist ticket. Scheie sells patent medi-
cines and at one time had some standing. but his
perpetual candidacy for office and repeated bolts

The Independence, the Lawson boat
which is to try her metal against the
Constitution, has been put in racing
trim. A coat of silver gray paint was
applied to the steel topsides and as
the color is a trifie lighter than the
cement paint which was on before
she looks much neater. A stripe, be-
ginning with scroll at the bow and
ending in one at the stern, was put on
in gold leaf. On deck, the canvas COW
ering has been painted a light green
shade, while the steel waterways
were given a coat Of yellow.

In speaking of the difference in the

and that of the Independence, Captair,
Haff said:
The mast in our boat should BIS
stronger not only because the steel is
thicker, but because there is a dia-

ture is lacking in that of the Constitu-
tion on account of the telescope top

growers order all of their employees
into the groves to close the sheds and
draw the tents. These coverings will
keep the air from fifteen degrees to
twenty degrees warmer than without
the protection; but it may be necessary
to use artificial heat. In the large
sheds fires of pine wood are sometimes
made, but as there Is danger of ig-

"salamanders" are preferred. These
are merely large rings of cast iron

coke or wood can be burned. They dis

Stoves are also used in various forms
according to the size of the shed, and
the heat is conveyed by means of long
stretches of sheet-iron pipe through
the rows Of trees. In the tents hand

a pint of oil will burn eighteen hours

In constructing q shed rows of pine
posts, each six inches square, are
erected from ten feet to fifteen feet
apart. These are connected by string
ers nailed to the tops Of the posts, and
are also supported by wooden braces
projecting diagonally. The framework
is covered at The sides withpine boards,
the ends Of which overlap like the clap
boards of a dwelling. The sides are
put together in sections, so that they
can be moved on rollers-forming huge
sliding doors. The roof is formed of
thin boards a foot in width, fastened
into sockets in the stringers, like the
stats of a window-shutter or blind
Sections of the Stats are connected with
wiring or small ropes, so that by pull
ing the wire the row of Stats can be
closed or opened at any angle desired.

! Vow Theg Prutect
the Orange Graves
in Sunny Florida.
By ID. Allen Wiley, of Baltimore.

For the last five years parts Of Cen
trail and Southern Florida have been
visited by freezing weather for the
first time in the history of that beauti-
full State. This section of the United
States is one OF the centres for the pro-
luction of oranges and bananas, and
large quantities Of vegetables are also
raised during the winter to be sold in
the Northern cities. The first vista
ton of frost found most of the orange
growers altogether unprepared for it,
and the result was that in single
night plantations covering fully fifty
square miles were utterly and hope
lessly ruined. The action of the frost
turned the leaves from green to black,
and the stems Of the oranges shriv-
elled so that the fruit fell to the ground
frozen and worthless. In some cases
where the earth deeply covered the
roots of the trees little life was left,
