Pope Warns of Perils.

Rome, March 31.--The Observatory
Romano, the organ of the Vatican,
prints the encyclical issued by the
Pope Saturday, in which the Holy
Father says the time has come when
| he must recognize that he is APP
preaching the time of his life on earth,
and that this encyclical should be his
testament to the Catholic church.
The pope says he would encourage
the Catholic bishops turnout the world
to continue vigorously to resist the
prosecutions which now aff1ict the
church. These prosecutions would
continue, but they would not affect the
spread of the light of Christ amongst
| infidels.
Never had humanity found itself
in more misera BILE conditions than at
Ipresent. There was disorder in all So
cial relations and especially in
family relations. Excessive liberty
had been created, which fostered So
cialism and anarchism.
Unjust wars, the encyclical says,
are being waged by strong nations
against weak and feeble peoples.
There are exaggerated ornaments
amongst great nations, the effect of
which is even more disastrous than
war. All these things have created
world wide disquietude.
Unceasing troubles and misery have
provoked the people to anarchism.
which henceforth promises to consti-
tute a formidable party of malefactors
leagued against emperors, kings ana
presidents of all governments. These
governments must adopt decisive
measures for the defense of genuine
liberty and must enfore the teaching
of religion.
The pope inyokes the union Of Chris
tan churches as the leading remedy
to save society from the violent attacks
of atheists and Freemasonry. He main
tains the necessity of unfolding the
temporal rights of the church, and
counsels the active spread of Catholic
worlkmen's societies.
The pope deplores the spread of ath-
eism, which he finds invading all de-
partments of the state. In urging
Catholics to combat doctrines contrary
to religion the pontiff condemns the
Forthcoming institution of the law of
divorce in Italy.

South Dakota Man Sentenced to Twen-
ty five Years in the Pen.
Elk Point, S. d.. March BID. K.
Stream was sentenced yesterday to
twenty-five years in the penitentiary
by Judge Jones. He had been convicted
of outraging his own stepdaughters.
The case is the worst on record for
vileness and debauchery in this part of
South Dakota. Judge Joseph w. Jones
in passing sentence said his only fear
was of giving Stream too light SEN
tence.
tence. Stream had threatened that he
would kill the girls and his wife If they
said anything about his crime.
Some years ago his wife died, and
he married widow named Mrs
Brooks. She had two daughters and in
a short time he had succeeded in ruin
ing both of them. 1t soon became ap-
parent that the younger one was to
become mother, and he sent her
away to her grandmother in Blue Earth
county, Mimi. Two months after her
child was born he went to where she
was in a wagon from Union county, got
her and her child, little girl, and
started overland. Coming to river, he
suggested and urged her to drown the
child in the rivers but she refused.
Driving few miles farther he took the
child from her by force and hid it in a
straw stack. An old farmer, seeing the
cattle eraning their necks, went to the
straw stack and found the child. The
finding of the child appeared in the
newspapers. The grandmother got the
child and is still raising it.
Stream returned to- Union county
with the girl. He was arrested and TAX
en- to Blue Earth county and tried for
abandoning the child and sentenced to
five years in the penitentiary at Still
water. When his time was out an off,
Ger was present and arrested him on
the charge OF rape and brought him to
Union county. S. d. 1t was proven.
that he had debauched his two step
daughters. There is now on file in the
sheriff's Office two indictments for
adultery with the oldest girl, % years
old. Mrs. Stream secured a divorce
from him jur.ng his Incarceration in
the penitentiary and is married again.

northeast of Alcester, on the Big Sioux
river. George Boyer who was indicted
for grand larceny for stealing jewelry
from the Merchants hotel, was acquit-

generally benefited from peace move
ments of this kind. He thought that
