METH0DlST'S NEW PASTOR
Rev. Wilkinson Made a Very Favor.
able Impression Oh Members
Of the Church.

Sunday morning and evening Rev.
Fl. S. Wilkinson occupied the pulpit
in the Methodist church as it's pastor,
having received his appointment
from the conference which met in
Aberdeen last week. Mr.. Wilkinson
is not wholly a stranger to Mitchell
people, as he preached here on one or
two previous occasions, and at that
time he was recognized as a very able
man. At both the morning and even
ing service the pastor had large aud
fences, The room being crowded. His
sermons were highly interesting, we'll
presented and contained much food
for thought and reflection. in the
course Of his remarks he paid a high
compliment to the retiring pastor,
DR.. Youngman, CHASING him as an
exceptionally brilliant mar Of the
pulpit. The expressions made by the
members Of the church we're all in
line with the idea that Mr.. Wilkin-
son will make a splendid pastor and
that they we're we'll pleased with bis
work on the first Sunday. While Mr..
Wilkinson is a man small in stature
there is recognized in him a power
for work in the Lords vineyard, and
the anticipations are high for the
good he will accomplish in Mitchell.
He expects his family to reach
Mitchell in the course of a week and
they will move into the handsome
new parsonage that is just being
completed by the Ladies Aid OF the
church. A hearty welcome will be
extended to Mr.. Wilkinson and fam
lily and good wishes will be extended
for the success Of his work in this
city.

to take some raw men and put them
against a field of players that have
entered their second year in football
and make as good a showing.
Morning Side had an old score to
settle with Mitchell. Two years ago,
when that college first sent out any,
thing of a representative foot ball
team, they came to Mitchell and was
defeated by a score OF Sc To 0 1t was
their aim and ambition to defeat
Mitchell by the same or even larger
score. The showing is al in favor of
Mitchell and when they meet again
in the curse of several weeks we will
stake our reputation that Mitchell
will win.
The members Of the University
eleven arrived home Saturday
on the south train and were feeling
pretty good over the result of their
showing against Morning Side.
Trainer Markle said that none Of the
University team were hurt in the
game and that they put up a fine
game. Their losing was mainly on
fumbles. The following is an excerpt
from the Sioux City journal on the
game played yesterday:
The main features of the game
were the hurdling by Wendlekin and
Peck. Of the Mitchell team, and the
repeated punting by both teams in
the latter part Of the second half
Fumbl ng by both teams spoiled
many good plays at crucial points,
the touchdown by Seaman, OF the
Mitchell eleven, being made on a
tumble by Morning Side, which gave
the ball to Mitchell when the field
was open for a clean run of seventy
five yards to the goal line.
The most exciting time in the
game was during the first part of the
second half, when the Morning Side
team held the Mitchell giants for ten
minutes within ten yards Of Mitch
ell's goal.

DELIVERED HIS FAREWELL.
Rev. Fred T. Drewett Delivered His
Closing Sermon in Mitchell
sunday Evening.

Sunday evening Rev. Fred T.
Drewett preached his farewell ermon
as pastor of the Baptist church, and
the room was filled to heal the part
ing words of the pastor. Mr.. L. D.
Milne added to the musical features
of the service by singing "The Choir
Invisible" for b%arytone, in an i'm
pressive manner. Mr.. Drewett
preached a strong and helpful sermon
on'The Resurrection, setting forth a
lesson to be taken from that scene as
a guide for a religious life. 1t had
been his aim in the past two years,
he said, to preach to his people this
doctrine and after his departure he
hoped that his congregation would
follow that trend of thought for their
guidance. In the two years that Mr..
Drewett has been in Mitchell he has
won a host of friends by his excellent
work in the pulpit. where his SER
mons have been Of the most interest
ing character, and in his daily walk
through life, in which he lived as he
preached. The Republican regrets
very uch to see him leave Mitchell
and he will be missed in many cir
cles. His church work has been en-
inently successful, as will be noticed
by the large congregations which
have gathered to hear him preach
and he has cemented the members in
a stronger bond Of religious fellow
ship than has existed in years. 1t is
to be hoped that he will be successful
in his pastoral work at Albert Lea,
Mimi. for which place he leaves with
bis wife and little son tomorrow.

Membership of the Presby-
terrain Church.

the membership of the Presbyterian
church Sunday morning. Twelve new
members were received into the
church by Or. Carson, who preached
for Rev. Mr.. Surbeck, who was un-
axle to be present by a of sick
ness. For the past year the church
has been growing in a very satisfac.
tory manner and the membership
gradually increasing under the inHu-
ence and good work of the pastors.
SUNDAY evening and for several ey-
enings previous, MI. and Mrs. A. D..
Good, the singing e~vangelisUs, have
been conducting meetings at the
church and they finished their work
at this time. DR.. Carson delivered
very effective sermons both morning
and evening to large congregations,
and the singing of the evangelists
added much to the interest of the
services.

Y. S. Starr and his wife got into

A TEMPORARY ORGAN IZATION
The Travelling Men of the City Eff
fected an Organization of the
National Society.

Mitchell has always had a large
number Of resident travelling men and
AN equally large number who have
made their headquarters here. 1t has
appeared strange to many Of them
that a council Of the United CONNER
cial Travellers of America had: never
got a foothold among them. This
being the case a meeting was held
Saturday evening to start a council
and the meeting was successful. The
travellers met in the Mitchell Club
rooms and effected a temporary or
%ganization by the election of John
N. Harris as chairman and Ed. Lee
han as secretary-treasurer. 1t is ex-
pected by the middle of Novem-
Der that permission will be secured
from the national officers to permit
the completion Of the organization.
The charter contains the names of
thirty-eight travelling men, but this
does not represent the number by any
means and by the time the meeting
is held in November it is expected to
round up every travelling man and
have his name on the list for a men,
Der.
In conversation with several trav.
cling men they stated that they were
positive that Mitchell contained owe
one hundred travelling men who lived
here and made their headquarters in
the city. The town is so situated
and has such good railroad connec-
lions that the trade in South Dakota
can be reached much easier than from
any other place.

place OF the regulars who were in
jured to some extent in the Morning
Side game last Friday. 1t was evil
dent that they were not going to
make any impression on RedfieId un-
til they let one or two of the subs
out and from then on the play was
stronger. Mitchell tried several runs
but were neatly stopped by Redfield's
tacklers. 1t was then they buck ID
the line for a touchdown, the ball
being carried over py Peck. Gregory
failed on goal, the ball hitting the
crossbar in the center.
The second touchdown was made
after several attempts at end runs,
and was finally secured on line bucks,
Wendelkin carrying the ball over.
Gregory made a pretty kick of the
goal at an angle. Redfeld showed
up in fine shape quite frequently in
stopping Mitchell's line and in her
punting tactics, invariably making
a gain whenever it was attempted.
At the end Of the first half the
score was Mitchell II; Redield O..
In the second half the work did not
show up very we'll and each side lost
the ball on downs and fumbles.

dead easy. Mitchell had the ball

the ball and he bad an open field for
the goal, making bis touchdown.

Toward the close Of the last half
Gregory for Mitchell punted the ball

ell man, which was claimed as a
touchdown. Gregory failed to kick
goal. Time was called shortly after
this play.
Levings acted as referee for Mitch

of Miss Alice Coleman at the home
of Mrs. Anna Wallstrum, on Park
avenue. Although the deceased was
a stranger when she came to Mitchell
for treatment a month ago a good
many people took quite an interest in

quence. Rev. G. E. Hager, the pre-
siding elder of the Methodist church,
conducted the services and made some
appropriate remarks concerning the
life of the deceased. Music was fur

Miss Coleman was a young lady of
beautiful character and was greatly
admired IN Sanborn for the excellent
traits she displayed, not only during

her sickness as well. In the year that
she has been confined to her..bed she
has shown remarkable fortitude. and
has always endeavOred to make it as
easy as pOssil lie for those who have
taken care Of her. Before death en-
sued she SEM beautiful messages to
all hers,friends and expressed the wish
that she might meet them all IN
heaven. Miss Coleman graduated in
the SanbOrn schools a few years ago,
and later went to the State Univer-
sity of Illinois. at Champaign, to our
sue a college course. Here she con-

lE GREAT W
Morning Side Defeated Mitchell, by
Just One Point IN Kicking
Goal.

The supporters of the University
football eleven did not know how
strong a team we had over there un-
til the report came from Sioux City
Of the game Friday afternoon, 1t
was:
Morning Side 6; Mitchell 5.
The fact that the Morning Side
goal kicker was able to land the pig
skha-between the posts won the game
for them. On the field of play Mitch
Ell! was il perfect match for them.
The fact that Morning Side defeated
Yankton by d score OF As to 0. and
that Mitchell was defeated by Yank-
ton 6 to 0, did not augur well for
Mitchell making much of a display at
Morning Side. Prof. Markle had
much new timber or the eleven this
year that had not been tried out and
the fact Of the matter is that the To-
cal supporters did not know Just what
the boys could do. Prof. Markle.
however, had his men sized up in fine
shape and it is greatly to his credit
