The Public, Library

The library association at it's
meeting Tuesday evening de-
cided to close the library during
the months of June, July and
August. No books will be given
out during the last week of May,
and all books out should be re-
turned by the 31st. Patrons of
the library will please to remem-
Der this requirement, and by
promptness in returning books
facilitate the closing up of the
seasons business in good order.
Miss Minnie Shannon has been
re-engaged as librarian for the
coming year. The splendid sue
cess which has attended the
opening of the library as evl-
denced by the large number of
books in use and the patronage
of the reading room as such,
should certainly be a great en-
cOuragement to the ladies who
have had the matter in charge
The institution has Ger rtainly
been source of pleasure and in
tellectual profit to the many
young people and others who
have had the use of the books
and magazines and periodicals
which are to be found on it's
tables and shelves. The parents
of the boys and girls growing up
in Milbank will do well to en-.
courage in every way the sus.
tanning of the library and read
ing room.

Over $4,000 for Missions.

Some people living in the states
to the east of us thia ak and speak
of Dakota as if it was on the
border land ofcivilization or little
beyond. The Dakotas are still
''out west" to these people, and
the only news they expect to
read about a state so far west
would be a story of vigilance
committees, outlawry or per-
haps .Indian raids or cattle
rustling. The attention Of such
people is directed to the fact
that at a little country church
some four miles from Milbank
a missionary collection was TAX
en- up last Sunday and the
exact amount obtained was
S3,O06.75. The church where
this subscription was taken up
is not even located in vii
lage, but is situated in a farming
community, it's members being
entirely composed of the farmers
living on adjacent lands, and the
collection secured was for the
regular missionary work of the
church and no part of it for local
needs of any character. This
splendid missionary offering Of
Zion Evangelical church is not
only living testimonial Of the
missionary spirit of its people,
but is an indication that Provi-
dence has not forgotten them
even in the material blessings Of
the present world. The .amoant
of this Offering would put to the
blush most Of the city churches
of much more pretentious
character and ten times the
wealth.

On last Monday evening Prof.
r. B. George closed a week S
term of vocal instruction with a
concert at the M. E. church, the
numbers being furnished by Mr..
George and his class, and this
public exhibition of concert
singing was Indicative of the ex-
cellent training which the class
had received while under Prof
Georges tutelage. The gentle
man is beyond question the best
instructor in vocal music who
has ever been in Milbank, and he
has the faculty of inspiring his
pupils with the enthusias m of his
own personality. One of the
unique numbers of the concert
was a doll drill by some fifty
little tots with their dolls and
under thecommand ofone Of their
own number. We believe that
should Prof George return in
the future he would have a much
larger class on his second visit.
