PROGRESS OF CONVENTION
Some Interesting Things are Hap
rening Among the W. G. II.
U. Ladies.

(From Saturdays Daily)
| The afternoon meeting yesterday
was carried out as near as possible
according to program. The devo-
tional services was led by Mrs. G. o.
Norris, of Webster. Miss Grace Van
| Vleet, secretary OF the Young
Woman's branch gave her report,
which showed that the mantle of
Kara Smart had fallen upon capable
shoulders.
Miss Nellie Reed, of Huron, sec
retary Of the Loyal Legion branch,
then reported. Here, too, was shown
the fact that capable, promising
young lady had been.secured to take
the position so long and efficiently
held by Mrs. Bidwell.
Mrs. Ramsey, of Woonsocket, presi
dent OF the state union gave he1
annual message. For the first time
in her seven years work as president,
she came to convention without a
carefully wrjtten address, but SC
beautiful and thoughtful was this
that her hearers wondered that if an
off-hand talk was so .goud to what
heights would a written one have
arisen. The truth Of the matter is,
however, this was not an off-hand
speech. Mrs. Ramsey had been get
ting this message ready all her life.
The president appointed Mrs. Hagel
as committee on courtesies. Revs.
Drewett, Youngman and Frazer,
Mrs. Milliken and Miss Starr were
introduced to the convention, the
gentlemen responding with brief but
appropriate words of welcome. 1t is
these little "throw-ins'' that mai es
W. C. T. q. conventions so interest
ing. They are never monotonous,
because they have unexpected.touches
Of real, breezy life.
Several department. reports were
then given, among which were Sun
day school and anti-narcotics by Mrs,
Lura Dawson. and medal contest by
Mrs. Clara Mcdonald.
Before adjournment the mother and
daughter of Mrs. Ramsey; Emilia
Storer Drake and Eloise Ramsey
were introduced.
A rousing Y conference was held at
another place during the afternoon
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1902-09-19

The program was greatly enlivened
with musical numbers, which were
given by the Misses Mary Tomlin,
Marjorie Ruth, Eliaz Vermilyea and
Fannie Mccormick as the ladies'
quartet, and their singing was great
ly appreciated. A vocal solo was
given by Mrs. Emily Bras Grace that
was well received and Mr.. Fred Kratz
gave two numbers in his usually
good style. A chorus was also given
by a number of little girls.
There were five contestants, and
each one recited their SELECTION in an
admirable manner, showing that the
previous contests in which they had
participated had done much in the
Way of training. Those who spoke
have been successful in gold medal
contests Of a local nature, and which
made them eligible to the higher
contest. Mr.. Bailey, of Mt. Vernon,
gave a short grafton on "Some
Reasons for Prohibition. . He was
called on in the afternoon to help
out in the number for the contest
and was not wholly prepared to enter
at that late hour. Miss Dorsch, Of
Hecla, recited cold soapyo and gave
it a splendid rendition. Frank
Marshall, Of Washington Springs,
recited Jeremiah and His Minis
terial Pa" He is quite a young boy
but he gave the number a spirited
rendition. Miss Balnche Van De
Bogart, Of this city, recited "a
Terrible Charge 1t was an inn
pressive selection and was given in
a very charming manner by the
young lady. Her platform presence
was easy and commanding and her
gestures timely. Miss Raney, Of
Letcher, recite6 a selection entitled,
"Sworn Off," There was considerable
dramatic ability in her number and
Ishe acquitted herself very creditabiy.
The judges retired tn make up the
markings, and while they were out
Mrs. Mcdonald entertained the
audience with humorous selection,
and she demonstrated the fact that
she was very capable as a reader.
The markings of the judges, were
read and first place was awarded
to Miss Raney and second place to
Miss Van DeBogart, there being but
one and one-half points difference in
the markings.
Mrs. Ramsey presented the grand
gold medal to the winner and to the
other a small picture of Miss Willard
was given. ;s
Mrs Ramsey announced that Miss
Mary j. Dewey, of Hot Springs, had
been awarded first place in the gen.
eral information contest, and she was
presented with book written by
Miss Willard. Members of the union
are required to answer twenty ques-
tions concerning the work of the w.
q. T. u, and the papers that are
handed in and examined by COM
mittee and marked according to their
correctness.
4. Mrs. Mcdonald presented to Miss
Slocum, of Ipswich, the banner that
belongs to the ninth district for hold
ling the greatest number of contests
during the year. This banner is
taken to each convention and then
awarded to the winner.
1 Mrs Lura. Dawson read the resolu-
tions that had been prepared by the
committe, in which the people of the
city were generously thanked for
what had been done by those who
had contrib buted locally to the success
OF the convention.
The evening entertainment was a
decided success and was a fitting
close to the splendid convention that
had been held for the previous four
days.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1902-09-19


was given Of which mention will he
made later. In the evening Mrs.
Murphy conducted the devotional ex-
ercises. An address of welcome in
behalf of the churches was given by
Rev. d. r. Tomlin which had the
true ring. The convention was, well
coined in behalf of the local union by
Mrs. Josephine Vermilyea, whose
earnest words gave all delegates a
feeling that they were truly welcome
to the city Of Mitchell.
Mrs. Lura Dawson responded grace
fully to these words of cordial well
come. The address Of the evening
was given by Miss Margaret Wint-
ringer. of Chicago, ILL.,, her subject
being ga Boy and His Mother" :"
This was grand address and should
have been heard by all the fathers
and mothers of Mitchell. A beauti-
ful solo was sung by Mrs. Bliss.
One of the pleasing features Of the
evening was the presentation made
to Miss Kara Smart by the Y's. Miss
Smart has been the secretary Of this
branch Of the work, and recently
rendered her resignation on account
Of her departure for Japan. Miss
Smart's work has become recognized
by the national union and she has
been appointed as an all round
missionary of the world. The Us
dubbed together recently and pur-
chased handsome typewriter, with
leather case, and of the Remington
make which was presented her
during the evening. The present
was wholly unexpected and Miss
Smart was touched Dy this little act
Of the young ladies with whom she
has worked. She responded to the
donors feelingly The typewriter is
made of aluminium and will be easy
to carry.
This forenoon was filled to the
brim. The praise service was con
Quoted by Miss Wintringer, and after
the reading of the minutes Mrs. G.
o. Norris, superintendent of the
Mercy department, grave her report,
followed by the report on Christian
Citizenship, read by Mrs. Dawson.
At this point Mrs. P. e. johnson,
of Highmore, led in a discussion on
"What the Local Unions Ought to
do for the State Work. She was
followed by Miss Smart and others
during which some helpful remarks
twere made.
| 1t was now time for Miss Smart
to leave the convention to start on
her journey to Japan. The tpye
writer presented to her by the Us o.
the state was looked at and all joined
hands and sang, "God be With Yor
Till We Meet Again. The scene
was an affecting one, Miss Smart
having been such a valued worker
in the state for so many years. Th,
Us went to the depot with her ant
participated in a scene that vii
never be effaced from their memory
Miss Smart was covered with whit,
ribbons, every Y adding to tn,
number, and Miss Smart gave then
a little talk. She goes direct to Sa1
Francisco and there will embark TO-
Japan. While this was being enacted
another scene Of perhaps equal i'm
portance was taking place in th
convention. The subject Of stat
union financial deficiency was bein,
discussed, and it is safe to say tina
many members who had not been tt
previous conventions had their eye
opened to such existing conditions
such as they never dreamed of be
fore. The out come was good, an,
life memberships, state and voluntee
pledges were literally given.
SUNDAY WAS A BUSY DA,
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1902-09-19

vention upon what model union
should be. Her remarks were very
helpful.
During the afternoon an important
Y conference was held at which the
young ladies pledged themselves to
send the secretaries of the Y and
L. q. L. branches to the national
convention, and also to raise s16O
this year for the support of the Y
secretary, Miss Van Vleet, in her
work. The meeting was full of
earnest enthusiasm.
The evening meeting was held in
the opera house. 1t was Y night and
twenty-eight Y delegates sat upon
the platform. After song by the
Us Miss lone Jones, Of Watertown,
conducted the devotional exercises.
Words can hardly express the
spiritual beauty and uplift of this
part Of the exercises.
A juvenile chorus, followed by a
ladies quartette completed the open
ing exercises.
Following this came Miss Brehm's S
address. Miss Brehm is not a
stranger to Mitchell and the dele
gates to this convention as she has
twice before been in attendance She
is a fine speaker, logical and earnest.
Sunday was very important day
among the delegates to the W. @. T.
y. convention. Special services were
held in the various churches. Mrs.
Luella A. Ramsey spoke at the Con-
gregational church, Mrs, E. p.
Eckenbeck at the Methodist, Miss
Grace VanVleet at the Presbyterian
and Miss Maragret Wintringer at the
Baptist church.
In the afternoon the opera :heuse
was crowded to hear the annual
sermon delivered by Miss Marie G..
Brehm of Chicago, president of the
Illinois association. Her subject was
SsThe Judgment" Miss Brehm is
a magnetic speaker and held the
close attention of her audience. At
the close a chidlren's meeting was
held by Miss Wintringer.
| Sunday evening was the union
meeting and the opera house was
packed to its utmost capacity. Mrs.
Hager conducted the devotional exer-
cises and a solo was rendered by Fred
Kratz. Miss Brehm delivered the
address Of the evening, which had to
! do with the work of the W. CT u.
and the facts that she gave relative
to what had been accomplished by
the organization impressed the hear.
ers with the Importance of the ladies
all over the world. The forenoon
was filled with left over business
from Saturday and some new work
was introduced. A pleasing interrup'
tion was the presentation to Mrs
Ramsey of whole string Of handler.

an alumnus, who is now residing at the
settlement, for old clothes, etc, for the
needy ones there. The matter was laid
before the alumni at its last regular
meeting. when 1t was decided to assis:
the settlement poor by giving 4 big con-
cert

event. The net proceeds are to be d.
vided equally between the fund for the
settlement and that for the alumni. The
alumni Is doing fine work in the educa-
ton of poor Hawaiian children by assist
ing them through the various schools
here and the greater the proceeds from
the concert the more children will be ed
ucated

RIGHT OF WAY
District Magistrate at HiIo is Re-
vsrsed on a Constitutional
Question.

| The Supreme Court did a land office
business yesterday, hearing seveh cases
during the day, and giving oral decis-
ions in three of the motions submitted
to it.
| In the case Of Territory VS.. Wing
Tung ct al the Supreme Court reversed
the District Magistrate at Hilo upon
the ground that his decision was con-
| trary TO the constitution. This was
liquor case. the Hilo police having
seized wines. liquor, beer, etc, belong
ing to several Chinese in that city. At
the time of the hearing the attorney
for the defendant denurred to the in
! formation on the ground that the selz-
ure was illegal and unwarranted, and
violated the fourth and fifth amend
! ments to the constitution of the Unit
ed States, relating to unreasonable
search and seizure of private proper
/ ty.
The District Magistrate paid no at
tention to the demurrer and continued
the hearing of evidence, declaring the
liquor TO have been rightfully confis-
Gated. The appeal was made direct TO
the Supreme Court. Thomas Fitch ap-
peared for the defendant appellants
and Attorney General Dole represent
ed the Territory. The argument was
very brief. the plea of the defendant
being practically admitted. The court
delivered an oral decision sustaining
the demurrer of defendant and revers-
! ing the district magistrate at Hilo. He
was ordered to take such further pro-
ceedings as are consistent with the
courts order.

KAMALo CASE FIRST.

| At the afternoon session the plain
tiffs in the case of Frank r. Hitchcock
VS.. Judge Humphreys. application fol
mandamus in the Kamalo case, asked
that the case be given precedence over
the trial calendar. The motion was re-
sisted by defendants. An affidavit was
presented by ]. Alfred Magoon setting
out the Importance of an immediate
hearing and alleging that large inter
ests are at stake; that a delay meant
plaintiffs; that plaintiffs owe large
sums of money, and the creditors have
/ delayed pressing their claims, in antic-
ipation of speedy settlement of the
present suit; that a large part of the
Land held by the Kamalo Sugar Co. is
leased and as the rent has not been
paid for a long time, the owners
threaten to take the property and can
Gel the said lease. In conclusion, Mr..
Magoon says in his affidavit that it is
Impossible for the Kamalo Sugar Co.
to proceed with Its operations as long
as this suit remains undecided and
property of large value is rendered
Mr.. Magoon contended in his argu-
ment that the suit was of the utmost
Importance. and was an extraordinary
proceeding entitled to speedy hearing
the same as a habeas corpus case. The
motion was opposed by Mr.. McClan-
ahan and Mr.. Robertson. After n short
conference with the associate justices,
Chief Justice Frear announced that
the motion would be granted and the
case was set down for Thursday to

In the matter OF the estate of r. w.
Holt the Supreme Court denied a mo-
