PRESIDENT FEELS RESTED
Roosevelt Passes a Quiet Day
at Sioux Falls.
ATTENDS TIE WRONG CHURCH.

Mistake Of Local Committee Sends
Him te Eivine Service Both Morning
and Evening-.Lays EoMn New Rule
for Speaking.
Sioux Falls, S. D., April 6.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt was the guest OF Sioux
Falls until $40 o'clock this morning.
His special train arrived here about
o'clock Sunday morning and he was
met by a delegation headed by Mayor
G.. w. Burnside and State Senator A.
H. Sites. Senator Kittredge also
greeted him. The president was es-
corted to the Cataract house by de-
MES here and enjoyed day of COM
parative rest the first he has had
since the trip began. He attended
church both in the morning and even
ing and in the afternoon went for
horseback ride accompanied by Seth
Bullock, superintendent of the Black
Hills forest reserve.
The fact that President Roosevelt
attended divine service twice Sunday
was due to a mistake on the part of
the local committee. The committee
had the impression that the president
was a member of the German Luther
an church. and accordingly arranged
to have him attend that church. Later.
when it was learned that the president
worshiped at the Dutch Reform
church, arrangements were made to
have services neld in the evening at
the Livingston Reform church here.
| While it is not the custom of the
| president to attend services on Sun
day evening, he consented to make an
exception to his rule when the facts
were presented to him. The services
IN the morning were conducted by
Rev Herman Sell. president of the
German English college at Welton
Ia, who came here for that purpose.
The German language was used
both in Milwaukee and Minneapolis
the length of the program did not per
nit the president to reach his car un-
til after midnight. ne has been obliged

The evening not begin speaking later
