PASTORS TO MERGE.

/.
Presiding Elder Jas. M. Bull, of
the Pipestone District, Southern
Minnesota Conference Of the Meth
odist Church, is about to issue to the
pastors in his district, letter con-
tanning a number of important
recommendations, touching upon
the pastoral work and the relations
of the pastors of the district.
Among other things the Presiding
Elder recommends the organization
of subdistricts, for the purpose OF
monthly meetings of thepastors and
their wives, to cultivate friendship,
exchange views, discuss methods,
etc. He suggests the division Of the
District into your subdistricts, = and
mentions the following as an advis'
able arrangement of the various
charges:
Southwest subdivision: Adrian,
Beaver Creek, Edgerton, Jasper
Luverne, Pipestone, Pipestone Cir
cult, Slayton.
Southeast subdivigion: Bigelow
Brewster, Fulda, Kimbrae, Rush
more, and Worthintgon.
Northwest subdivision: Balaton
Candy, Currie, Clarkefield, Hend
| ricks, Lake Benton, Lynd, Marshal
and Morton.
Northeast subdivision: Franklin
Morton, Walnut Grove, Wood Lake
and Tracy.
| This particular division of thu
district, and, in fact, tho very ides
of dividing the district for the pur
pose above descricbed, is merely {
suggestion from the Presiding Elder
But he very strongly urges thu
taking of some steps along the linz
which he mention. The carrying
out of the idea and arranging of de-
tails is to be left to the pastors
themselves. -Pipestone Star.
SHE SOON ALTERED IT.
Many young ladies have found il
necessary to improve, or rather tc
alter, the spelling of the names
with which they were originally
blessed. Mabel comes Mabelle,
Jessie becomes Jessica, Mary be-
comes Marie, and so forth. A
brother lately received a letter from
his young sister at a fashionable
boarding school. It was signed
Jessica. he anwsered:
Dear Sister Jessica-Your vel.

In the seventh it began to look

this season jim allowed the ball to

Corrigan, who was playing short for

went after it also and the two collided,
permitting Dwyer to score. McHale

out at second, on Mielde's short hit.

PlseaH NEWS NOTES.

Pisgah. March 25.-Several OF our
farmers took advantage of the warm
weather last week and planted corn.
The peach and plum trees are now in
full bloom, and the woods is brown
and bare. This shows that winter IS
still here. Peach trees generally
bloom the first of March.
The late planted oats look fine.
Potatoes that were kept for seed nearly
al rotted. The demand is good but
supply is not here.
Measles, grippe and whooping cough
still linger with us. As yet no fatal
cases.
Mrs. P. G. Bowman, Of Columbia,
visited her daughters, Mrs. c. a.
Rogers and Miss Bowman here last
week.
Rev. ]. C. Crouch, of Westville,
spent a week quite recently here visit
ing friends.
Let us have two State campaign
days this summer. One for the sena-
eorial candidates and another later for
che State officers. The people like
such political activity. As we are
going on now, we will stagnate from
oolitical rot. Still later the county
campaign can open and We can listen
TO the music of the boys with their
promises never half filed, and hear the

GOOD NEWS FOR TOBACCO MEN.

Richmond, Va, March 22.-Mr. E.
K. Jones, the DanEille agent Of the
Universal Tobacco Company, was in
the city today and held conference
with Mr.. A. F. Thomas, one of the
representatives of the Imperial Tobac-
co Company, of Great Britain, which
has established headquarters here.
This strengthens the impression in
tobacco circles that the two companies
will work together against the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company, on the latter's
own soil, in the same manner that the
American company has gone to Eng
land and bearded the British company
there.
While all information is denied at
the Office of the Imperial Company, 1t
is believed that the arrangement be-
tween the two companies will consist,
at least in part, of making the buyers
of the Universal the buyers of the
Imperial also.
All efforts failed to get from repre-
sentatives of either the Imperial or
the Universal admission of an agreed
alliance, but there is no question that
the two will cooperate in fighting the
American company, and virtually pool
ing interests in buying. Tonight it
is practically known that the Imperial
will buy some twenty-five or thirty
million pounds of leaf on this and the
Western markets.

Day OF GUBlS DELIVERAAGE FIXED
Palma to be lnaugurated May 20
and Every U. S. Soldier Will be
Withdrawn Except Those in
Seacoast Garrisons.

Washington, March 25.-May 20,
1902 is the new date for turning over
the Island of Cuba to its people. The
change of date was made, if not at the
suggestion, then with the full approval
of President-elect Palma and his ad-
yisors, senors Tamaya and Quesada,
who were with him at the war depart
ment today. This date should be a
memorable one in Cuban history, for
it will not only mark the acquisition
of full independence but will be the
Cuban Inauguration day, it having
beer determined that President Palma
shall be inaugurated on the same day
that American control of the island
cases.
All but the smallest details of the
charge in Cuba have been planned,
and these remaining details were
under adjustment at meeting held at
the war department. today. Beside
Secretary Root, President Palma and
Seniors Tamaya and Quesada, Gen.
Wood, attended. The meeting occur
red in the secretary's Office. Besides
the anal selection of May 20 as Gu
ban independence day, two other I'M
pcrtsnt conclusions we're reached. The
first was that Gen. Wood should i'm.
mediately upon his return to Cuba
issue avcall convening the first Cuban
congress in session on May 10 in order
that the body might employ the 10
days following that date in supplying
any legislation necessary to the as
sumption Of full powers in the island.
The other conclusion was that there
should be no halfway evacuation OF
the island; the present disposition is
to move the entire United States con-
tingent, civil and military, away from
the island-not even leaving a corpo-
rails guard of United States soldiers
in any of the camps except IN the
defenses on the coast which will be
garrisoned by United States troops.
If this programme is not executed it
will be for the sole reason that the
Cubans themselves. through their
authorized officials, request that the
departure of the United States troops
be delayed for time.

These rates are based on one-half

Tuesday in April, with final limit of
