ENDORSE PHYSICIANS BILL
Local Medical Society Met and En-
dorsed Bill for Protection Of
the Public.

a meeting Of the Mitchell Medical
Association, which comprises the
physicians of both the old and new
schools, was held Saturday evening
to discuss the merits of house bill
No. $50, which is now before the leg
islature. The bill is drawn for the
purpose of protecting both the
physicians and the public from being
imposed upon by what the physicians
term as the travelling DOCTORS, who
are at liberty under the present laws
to enter the state and practice their
profession without first receiving per-
mission from the state board. The
bill is causing a COCOA deal Of discus
sion throughout the state as to
whether it should become a law.
The association decided by a unan-
imous vote to support the bill, and
the secretary was instructed to
notify Senator Branson land Repre-
sentative Belts to use their best
efforts to secure the passage of the
measure in their respective branches.
If the bill becomes a law it will in
a measure prevent travelling doctors
from going from town to town.
They claim that it will raise the
standard of the physicians dong
business in the state, and that the
public will be greatly benefited, for
the a that no outside physician
first having passed an examination
by the state board, or show satisfac-
tory evidence that he has passed a
similar examination in another state.
A fee of $40 is demanded under the
bill to practice medicine.

THE THOMAS SHOW
Displays Some Excellent Views in
the Western Part of the
United States.

Prof. 6. B. Thomas gave his enter
tainment at the opera house Thurs
day evening under the aupsices of the
A. o. U. w., and there was a very
fair audience in attendance. Mr..
Thomas is assisted by his wife, who
sings popular ballads and illustrated
songs, and his little son, who plays
the cornet. The principal feature Of
the entertainment is the illustrated
views displayed on canvas. On this
occasion he displayed some very in
.teresting pictures in the state Of
Kansas and Colorado, pictures one
would be likely to look at twice if
seen in nature. The views are well
presented, being exceptionally clear.
Mr.. Thomas gives a little entertain
ing talk along with the views and
explains some historical connection
with them as he goes along. He also
presented a series of moving pictures.
and while they are very good they are
not as plain as some that have been
shown in the opera house. Taken as
a whole the entertainment is quite
interesting and Prof. Thomas dies
his utmost to make it pleasing to his
audience.

BAPTIST REVIVAL SERVICES
First OF the Protracted Meetings
Held Sunday Evening by Mrs.
WOmeldOrt, Evangelist.

1t has been been some years since
the Baptists have engaged in revival
work but the nearby presence Of Mrs.
Ida Womeldorf gave the church peo-
pie an opportunity to engage her SER
vices for a series Of meetings. 1t
was about ten years ago that Mrs.
Womeldorf, then known as Miss
Sherman, was in Mitchell. and the
splendid work she accomplished at
that time has never been forgotten
through all these years, and when
she appeared at the church Sunday
evening to begin the first meeting Of
the series she was greeted by a very
large audience. She. expressed her
great pleasure and privilege to return
to Mitchell again to engage in the
religious work, and said that she
treasured happy memories in con-
junction with her former visit.
Pastor DreweJt, in introducing the
lady evangelist, paid a very high
tribute to her earneStness in the
work and announced that the meet
ings would be conducted for two
weeks at least. She preached a most
interesting sermon with a text taken
from jeremiah 5:22-23. Mrs. Womel-
dorf pointed out the mistake in a
great many people believing that
there are barriers between the soul
of man and the Christ. She held
that the barriers were placed by God
in the downward path and that a
person had to break them down one
by n before he reached the point of
Self-destruction. Mrs. Womeldorf
held the close attention Of her large
audience as she told the message of
her Master. and there is an earnest
ness in her speech, an impressi veness
in her name and a sincerity in her
voice that finds a responsiveness in
the hearts Of her hearers.
The meetings will be continued
throughout the week and the public
is very cordially invited to attend.
Pastor Drewett said that the meet
ings would commence promptly at
80 and that they would close by 9
o'clock.

METHODIST REVEALS CLOSE
Sunday Evening Saw the Close of
the Revivals Which Lasted a
Month.

When the Methodists started their
revival services on a small scale,
about a month ago it was not the in
tention to continue them long, but
the work that was being done met
such great success that they were
continued. At the start the--preach-
ing was being done by the local
workers, until the arrival Of Evan
gelist Underwood, and for about
three weeks he has held forth very
evening at the church. The attend
ance all through has been remarkable
and the results Of revivals have been
satisfactory to the promoters and the
members Of the church in general.
Evangelist Underwood has been a
tireless worker during the meetings,
and although there has been more
or less criticism INDUCED in concern
ing his methods of conducting revi val
meetings and of the statements that
emanated from his pulpit he seems
to have stirred a strong relig
iOuS movement in the church
and a great many have gone forward
on various occasions. The evangel-
list did not mince matters when he
had anything to say, and he hit out
straight from the shoulder on what
ever subject he was preaching. Sum-
Gay evening the evangelist held his
last meeting and there was a crowded
house to hear him.
Monday morning Mr.. Underwood left
for bis home at Peoria, H., to take
a rest before resuming his evangel-
istic work.

Prison Irvine Plant.


Pierre special. - The board Of
charities and corrections is still
wrestling with the Irvine plant prob
lem and will recommend an appro-
priation which will be strongly op-
posed by Bowler and Snyder, Of the
Implement Dealers Association.
One Of the clubs which they will use
in Goddard's bill providing for the
ordering of dimension stones to be
cut by the prisoners at the peniten-
tiary for a state capitol building.
Warden Swenson is present to counsel
the board in its actions and the only
thing that will prevent a nice lite
contest over this matter is the new
organization Of a senate and house
minority built on economic lines and
operating a scaling machine to be
used on all special appropriations.

In Honor and Morally Bound,

Chamberlain Journal: The Mitch
ell Republican has recently been pub
fishing the compact entered into and
signed by the legislators from Red
field, Huron and Mitchell regarding
the capital removal question and it
clearly shows that the men from the
three counties are in honor and
morally bound to vote and work for
Mitchell in the fall of 1904. John
Longstatf, Of Huron, having ''called
all bets off, as SOC as his town vas
defeated, will surprise a good many
people who thought they knew John.

HIS FEBRUARY WEATHER
Prophet Hicks Holds to the Idea
That Much Winter Weather
Will Prevail.

In making his February weather
Rev. Irl Hicks dispels the hope that
February would commence to put an
end to the long winter. He produces
some very bad weather for the month,
which is outlined in the following:
"a sto m period to watch is from
about Sunday, the Sth, to Thursday,
the 18th, The days Of greatest vio-
lence will be on and touching the
10th and 18th. Violent rains may be
expected and generally over southern
and central parts of the country,
while a boreal counterpart in the
form of a furious snow storm and
blizzard from the west and north
need not surprise any reader. The
crisis Of these disturbances will
come on and next to the 18th. The
cold wave that would naturally APP
pear about the 18th may possibly be
retarded until after the moons pas
sage over the celestial equator no
the 18th. But those who do not
prepare for hard, winter storms, and
for a great cold wave and blizzard
between the 9th and 10th Of Febru-
airy, will, we fear, pay a costly pen
atty. The final elimination of these
storms may not come before the 14th
and 18th, which are central reaction
airy storm days; but we caution all,
especially those who have large live
stock interests at stake, to be on
their guard any time from the 9th
until the elimination comes. Don't
be deceived by delays ard pleasant
weather.
1.-The storm period extending from
the 10th to the 23d, is covered by
many disturbing factors. Vulcan,
Mercury, Venus and Earth all COM
bine with noon at south declarations
at last quarter and in apogee. This
period during the opening stages
will bring change to quite warmer
for the season. the barometer will
fall to unusually low readings, and
heavy storms of rain, wind and
thunder will speedily be followed by
change to Sleet and snow, all wind
ing up to stiff wintry gales and a
cold wave from the northwest.
Much danger may be apprehended at
this and other February periods,
from the gorging of streams and
rivers by sudden floods and the jam
ming Of moving and crushing ice.
Look for several days Of crisp, freez-
ing weather after the storms of this
period pass off.
"The last three days Of the month
will bring return Of general storm
conditions, winding up on the 2Sth
with electrical disturbances and
heavy rains in many sections Of the
country. Upon the whole, we fore
cast an unusually stormy and dis
agreeable February-a commingling
of Vernal, tropical storms, with
boreal and wintry visitations giving
US a succession Of extreme perturba-
tions, attended by sudden %revulsions
of freezing and thawing."

THE ELoCUTIoN RECITAL
Mrs. HOff Made a Fine Impression
in Her Work-Assisted by
Local Talent.

Mrs. Minnie kennedy-Hoff gave an
elocution recital at the Congregation
al church Saturday evening. in which
she was assisted by local musical tai
ent. There was a very fair audience
in attendance and the people showed
a very hearty appreciation Of the
talent displayed by Mrs. Hofl. The
lady has been heard in several recita-
tions before. but her ability as an elo-
cutionist has not stood out with such
prominence until her appearance in
a recital. The numbers given by
| Mrs. Hotf made plain that her talents
were not confined to n class Of
work, and it only took the first Sc
lection on the program to assure her
/ audience that she was capable Of
richly entertaining a body of people.
"The Doom of Claudius and Cynthia"
was given a very dignitied rendition.
in which Mrs. Hoff showed much
skill in her art. So realistic was her
| depletion Of the scene in the arena
| that one could almost imagine him
self sitting in the border Of the
Roman arena and witness the events
transporting. Her reclataion of
"Connor'' was pathetic, and it was
one OF the best Of the evening. We
were very much impressed with Mrs.
Hoff's recital of miles Standish's
Encounter with the Indians" and
her efforts well merited the applause
that she received. During the even
ing she responded to several encores,
and won the appreciation of her
hearers for her conscientious work.
On the prrogam were several
musical numbers. The mandolin
club played several selections that
were appreciated, and the club re-
sponded to encOreS when it was pos
sible. Mrs. Herbert Z. Hitchcock
sang ga japanese Love Song in a
very pleasing way and kindly re-
sponded to the deserved encore. S.
Earle Brown sang a ballad, "JuSt
Plain Folks" that found a respon-
Sive chord in the hearts Of the
audience and he was also encored, to
which he responded. Miss Gertrude
Becker rendered Message of the
Violets'' to the pleasure of her hear
ers and her singing was very much
enjoyed. She was not prepared for
the encore she received.
The entertainment was a pleasing
one all through and in the future it
is hoped that Mrs. HOf will consent
to give another recita' when matters
will be more favorab. or a much
larger attendance, which her talent
is certainly entitled to.

Made Concerning the Light.
Friday Even1no

Editor Republican: In
of Saturday, Feb. I, you haya lsspa
m%unication signed T. H. Y a soa|
that the going out of the ,slllnd
lights on Friday evening utter gvs1
feated the meeting at the Meths,ai s
church, and that the ElectrinnO
ought to be fined a Thousand
for it. We wish to inform uO',sn
Youngman what was the canoo MI
the trouble and th~e.reason thar
acted as they did. The snowsss
on Tuesday afternoon caused W
snow to lodge on the top Of . sua
arm and a transformer CLOSE
The warm sun Of Friday aftar,S.
caused some Of this snow r. ~
and form a coating of ice m ~
wires leading into this Transform
When the current was turnoa
Friday evening the gradually risiv1
temperature in the transform.1
caused this ice to melt still moro as9
following the wires a little %; ~.
the transformer and caused what J.,
called a short circuit. When tbi,
short circuit was formed it causa1!
the automatic circuit breaker at thtI
plant to open, and putting ont ths|
lights up town. The circuit breatoJ
was thrown in again several times
but would not stay in. As we haval
about sixteen miles Of wire strunJ
over the city we were at a loss II
know just where the trouble was
But it happened Mr.. c. W.. Hoon
was standing at the door Of his res.
taurant looking out, and he noticed
that every time we turned the lights
On a blue blaze would form on one NJ
the poles across the street, he very
kindly informed us over the telephone
of what he had seen. A man was
sent right out to fix the trouble. This
man had to go eight blocks, clint
the pole and cut out this sbor,
circuit, and as the lights were on,
just fifteen minutes it does not hard],
seem that we caused so much trouble
as we are unjustly accused of. Be
cause this was something that w
had no control Of, for we cannot con
troll the elements, so Mr.. YoungmaI
must look elsewhere for damages
We think it would have been NOR
fair on Mr.. Youngman'S part if b
had inquired as to the cause of tn,
trouble before putting such an articl
in the paper.
Again, we note in your writeup o
the show at the opera house for thi
same evening you state that til
electric lights went out just whel
they were needed the worst, which
leads some people to think that thu
Electric Co. "a watching for som
such chance and did this on purpose
We think the least the local pres
could do would be to find out til
cause Of the trouble and then prin
both sides of the case and let TIL
public judge for themselves.

American Sonus.

Mrs. Howe told our colored breth-
rem that their songs ARE really the
best thai are composed in America"
superlatiye is not so extravagant,
after all, for the songs of America, up

things. The strenuous life has pro-
duced everything but a poet of he
role national stature. The negro, by
the way, is not guilty Of the ragtime
song.
