PREPARING THE SOUL
Farley Preacises . Sermon to Slsux
Fails On its WleknesS


Madison Outlook: Since the Presi-
dents visit to Sioux Falls, and the
balling up he got from the citizens
committee on church worship, the
people there are waking up to the
necessity OF finding out just what they
have in the way Of churches, with a
view to classification aud printing, SO
that any citizen might say it right off
If any one should ask him. Incident
ally, citizens are calling attention to
the poor church buildings OF the city,
and the necessity of more ambitious
buildings, and above all other things,
"mOre ro0m." 1t occurs to us that
the churches are plenty big enough for
town that doesn't know that there is
a difference between German Luth-
eran and a Dutch Reformed church.
What the towns needs is somebody to
coax them out OF bed On Sunday morn
ings, and into the places of worship
that they are uracquainted with. II
there is a matter of a few cheap poll
tical offices, or a sewer, or street
railroad, or a carnival to arrange for
people would sit up all night to get it
fixed. But when it comes to matters
of the soul. and its status for eternity,
it is plainly apparent that the Queen
City recognizes that there is no money
it. And there are communities like it
all over the country. Asa matter of
fact our missionaries ought to be re-
called from Africa and Asia, and set
to work in our own country.
Down at the Falls the citizens are
writing letters to the public press de-
manding a higher architectural
spirit" in their church edi6oes, some
thing that they may 'point out to
visitors with pride,'' winding up with
a demand for a great central unde-
nominational spirit. We have noticed
that where man grows up like a
weed, without the fear of God in his
heart, and devotes his time to the af-
fairs of the flesh and not the spirit,
that when he feels age coming on his
shriveled soul, he wakes up out of his
long nap, and becomes dissatisfied
With every known form of religion, be-
cause he knows nothing of them. and
begins to howl for something "broad"
"a place with gymnasium and a
lunch counter-w where he can skin the
cat or worship God, just as the spirit
strikes him. A place where he can 90
in an listen to some man talk about
about the whichness OF the why not,
and satisfy himself that he is identi
fed with a Christian body. and per-
fectly safe. And place where he can
get a lunch and a smoke handy, with a
stock ticker and a special wire for the
sporting events. This is "broadness"
according to the reformer. II there
is any humor in the angelic choir we
are satisfied that an occasional horse
laugh mnst puncture the circumam-
bient ether over the gyrations of these
indigenous fauna. There ought to be
a home missionary society for the pur-
pose of demonstrating to people the
fact that soul needs care as we'll as a
body; that a dead body is the relic of a
mere whisper of time, but dead soul
is a withered relic through all the in.
tinity of time to come. Eternity has
no place where G man can play pedro
for the beer. The horse cemetery il
yawning for him.

1--WE began to use DR.. Miles Nerve and
Liver Pills six years ago. My wife had liver
trouble and a neighbor gave her some of
your liver pills to try, after which we bought
bottle Of :hem and my wife used them un-
til cured. Since then have used them and
must say that have never used any pills
that gave me the satisfaction these have.
We also use DR.. Miles Anti Pain Pills with
greatest satisfaction. Three years ago our
son Harry had inhammatory rheumatism.
He had suffered SO much that ! belieYe if we
had notgiven him DR.. Miles Anti Pain Pills
which relieved him almost instantly he would
have died. ! am always glad of the oppor.
tunity for praising DR.. Miles Remedies
James Evertt, Alton, Ills. #
Il was afflicted with neuralgia for years
and never found any permanent relief till l
began using DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
They are sure cure for headache and neu-
ralgic pains. Only this morning recon-
mended them to a friend with severe head
ache and in half hour he came into the
store smiling. The headache was gone. We
use them in the family and find them excel
lent for the women folks. This high altitude
makes them very nervous. Grandma says 1

and Windstorm Company Elected.

The annual meeting Of the Farmers
Mutual Tornado, Cyclone and Wind
storm Insurance Co., Of Laclede, was
held at the secretary's Office in La.
clede last Monday. Owing to the
busy season the attendance was NOT
large. The books of the secretary

found to be in excellent shape and

and prosperous condition. Last years
losses were greater than all other
since the organization of the company
and to meet them an assessment Of 2
mills on the dollar was ordered to be
collected in the next thirty days. The
company is now entering its fifth year
and this is only the third assessment,
which is certainly very cheap insur-
ance. There is now $444.670 of in
surance in force
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: w. R. Barton,
president; H. H. Mathew, vice presi-
dent; H. G. Lomax, treasures; H. E.

The Why Of the WhiChness.

clal Sale or on general principles
one trade during the past month ha'
been greater than ever before for tn,
season of the year, and the business
has not been confined to any line eth
er. The Hardware Room has had its
share of business. We are just receiv
idg nice line of Spruce Frame
Screen Doors, and those of you who
know anything about Spruce know
that this wood is far preferable to
hard pine or the so-called soft pine
which is really hard to get in Screen
Doors. These Doors will be sold as
cheap as we ever sold the hard pine
kind: Of course Shovels and Spades
both in D or long handle are selling,
and building Hardware generally we
never did as much business. We buy
right and are able to make you prices
which would be impossible by smaller
firms buying in smaller way. We
will have another car load Of Stock
Fencing in this coming week and will
be able to furnish you as always be-
fore for less money than any one else
asks, and still make a small profit.
In the Furniture Room new Goods
are arriving daily-latest things in
Suits, Rockers, Couches, etc. We are
always striving to get the best for you
for as little money as possible.
Couches from $7.S5 up, Rockers from
$1.15 up, Center Tables $3.50 up,
Iron Beds $2.75 up, and we keep
about anything you could ask for.
The season for Cooking Stoves finds
us we'll prepared to serve. The Lat
est Wickless Blue Flame Oil Stoves
and Gasoline Stoves of the different
sizes, Ovens from s1.O0 up. Scythes
and Sneaths.
Now word about Scythes. We
have line Of fully warranted Scythes
(and you know what warrant means
with us) and We are selling them at
no higher price than you will pay else
where for the common unwarranted
kind. Grass Hooks, good and not so
good, and when it comes to Washing
Machines they all have to take off
their hats to the justly famous O. K.
A full line of Wringers always on
hand.
Mating that we believe will please
you in price and style. See them
and please remember we are here to
stay, here to sell goods and by selling
great quantities of goods we are en-
abled to sell for less prices than you
are asked elsewhere.
We would like to have you call on
us and get prices when in need of any
thing in our line and if we can't
please you, then indeed our business
plan of sharing profits with our GUS
toners has not been a success. Come |
often, you are always welcome wheth-
er you buy or not at

IRATE LEGISLATORS TALK
LOUD AND MAKE
CHARGES

Across the droning voice of the clerk
of the House yesterday, reading the
long Long Municipal bill-and trying
to get through with it. too-there came
rushing into the chamber of the House
a flood of angry sound like the clash
ing of arms in battle, torrent of
words hurled out upon the air madly
as Mount Soufriere might send its red
hot bombs oger terrified world. And.
over the din. high soaring above the
torrent of words, the monosyilable,
shrilled as a small boy might have
shriIled it, again and again:
Fight fight"
1t emptied the lobby, at once. The
old Hawaiian habitues who sat in the
same seats and thrilled at the hot de-
bates and dreamed through the routine
all through the long days. seemed
aroused at last to an interest almost
human. and streamed out at the big
doors into the hallway Also, some of
the members ran out. Anything. al
most, was more exciting than the Long
bill.
And it was a fight. though the
weapons were words. They burned and
stung. 1t seems that, Immediately fol-
lowing the triumphant vote of closure

measure of his. AyIett went out into
the hall way. 1t may be that he went
out to chortle over his victory-but, if
he did, his chortling was brief. For
Andrade had gone out into the hall
and Andrade had a grievance, and not
the least hesitancy about stating it,
strenuously and in loud tones He stat
ed it to Aylett. in words and manner.
in substance as follows, to wit:
Il think tits a blanked shame to shut
out in that way the reports of COM
mittees that We have sat up all night

rising with every word as his anger
grew hotter. ''It is an outrageous piece
OF business These reports are far more
important than the Long bin!"
Now. Aylett did not like to be talked
to that way. 1t really hurt And so he
said. among other things. TT is my
privilege to do it. if I want to-"
This was said in two or three ways.
as Andrade's remarks were put in more
ways of varied strength than one, and
that closed the incident. for the mo-
ment. and the crowd went back into |
the lobby to it's dreaming
And it is a shame that committees |
should be kept working all night, to |
prepare reports that are to be shut off |
by a rotten gang like that said An
drade. with some heat. afterwards. !
He said it was his privilege. So it is |
the privilege OF any fool TO block busi- !
ness
