Some of those pessimistically in
clined individuals who take 1t upon
themselves to forecast the disruption
of the guard as a result of the shaking
up it is now undergoing, only have to
look backward to see the militia rise
many times from conditions much
worse than they are at the present day.
That the guard is about TO enter upon
an era of unbOunded prosperity is
daily developing. If the head of the
guard needs adjusting the governor
viii see to it that it is done; if the fault
is in the lower officers they Will be
satisfactorily dealt with. The guard is
bound to flourish and needs but re-
cruiting to aid it in its progress, to-
gether with what is now going on.

Here was faith which in the
length and breadth Of its vision chal-
lenges our admiration: but which, as
the sequel proves, was founded nei ther
upon the Divine plan nor upon human
possibilities. For at the Conference
Of 1884, neither..Mitchell nor Ordway
had fulfilled the supposed promises OF
the previous year. And SO the final
action was postponed another twelve
months.
Mitchell, meanwhile, assuming that
her offer would be accepted, had talk
en- option upon two quarter sections
of lands lying south Of the city. One
of these had been plated as the Uni
versity Addition. Lots were sold and
contracted for to the amount OF S45,-
900. A building had been erected,
but not yet completed at cost Of
about $4,000. Upon this building
and the land there yet remained d
debt OF 1926, 900. This movement was
largely the result Of the skill and en-
ergy of Rev. l. N. Pardee, at that
time superintendent OF the mission.
The extraordinary interest mani
tested by Mitchell decided the Con-
ference to drop the Or6way scheme
and to be contented with plans for one
college. Accordingly Board Of
Trustees was appointed and the offer
of Mitchell accepted, on conditions
that the citizens turn over to the
Conference their entire property with

member of this Conference. He was
found with broken limbs and badly
burned. Also Harry Taylor, whose
life hung in the balance for several
days. He afterward became assistant
state superintendent of public scohols
for South Dakota.
The majestic building, SO recently
the pride of the city. as we'll as the
Conference, was reduced to mass of
smoking granite. Amid the horrors
OF this disaster the citizens Of Mitch
ell Wed with each other in their
efforts to relieve the sufferers. No
home was SO palatial as to refuse to
open its doors to receive them. No
comfort was too costly, no inconven!-
ence was too great, all that money
and skill could do was done TO relieve
the victims of this calamity. With
broken hearts we aided the parents of
one beautiful boy to encoffin the re-
mains and send them to the desolate
home in the northern part Of the
Conference. On the Sunday following
the disaster mournful group stood
around grave in the Mitchell ceme-
terry where was buried young man,
who had come far from his home in
old England, without a relative, tc

determination, Of Bishop John w.
Walden. who presided at the Confer
ence held in October, 1885, Mitchell,
at this period, because Of the defeat
Of many plans, had failed to meet the
conditions on which the property was
TO be accepted by the Conference.
The Bishop, in view Of this failure.
demanded that the original building
be restored and furnished as before.
The trustees were given until the en-
suing 10th of February to guarantee
beyond question the completion of
this enterprise. a commission con-
slsting of three Bishops, Walden,
Newman and Foss, with other mem
bers, both from the laity and minis
try, all outside of the Board Of Trus-
| tees, was appointed to pass upon the
| work at the day fixed. If in their
progress Of their work assured COM
plete success Mitchell was to retain
the school, otherwise the location
was TO be thrown open to competi-
tion to all towns in the Conference.
These conditions seemed at the time
drastic and severe. Huron, Water
town and Sioux Falls at once began
reaching for the prize. But the
brave men who had builded once felt
assured that they could build again.
DR.. Brush, as usual in emergencies,
hurried back to his friends in the
east. Mitchell subscribed more Ii
bera:ly than ever before. The pre-
siding elders rallied their districts.
Preachers and laymen responded to
the spirit of the movem ment.

Dakota Mission Conference in ses-
sion at Parker in 1882, with Bishop
Merrill presiding and DR.. Whitfield,
superintendent, records the earliest
movement of Methodism in the Dako-
ia Territory, toward higher education.
There were twenty-five ministers
present at this session, three Of whom
are still members Of the Dakota Con-
ference. This early conference
adopted Cornell college, of Mt. Yer
non, Iowa, as a school to which it
recommended the young people Of the
church desiring college training.
a t the same session committee on
education reported offers Of certain
lands presented by the citizens Of two
of the growing towns, to induce the
erection Of college in their midst.
A special committee was appointed to
consider these offers.
At the next Conference in 1883, the
report of this committee revealed the
expanded ideas which in those early
years characterized all Of the enter
prises IN the immense terri tory OF
Dakota.
Liberal offers Of land and money
have been made by Mitchell in the
southern and Ordway in the northern
part of the territory. The report OF
the Conference committee proposed tC
accept both proposit tions providing
that at the time Of the ensuing Con.
ference they should be found to be
practicable and available. The reso
luton reads as follows:
"All that section OF country lying
within the bounds Of this mission
south Of and including township IL:
be considered the territory Of the In
stitution to be located at Mitchell
and all the territory lying north o.
this ground be considered as the
rlghtfui patronizing territory Of the
Insti tuition to be located 1T Ordway.'

lege to prepare himself for the Eliu-
istry. The marble slab erected by
the students over his grave stands as
reminder of the sorrow and SYM
pathy Of those days.
With the dead buried and tie
wounded cared for. with the remnant
of the school housed in what is
known as the Barber building and
placed under the care of Rev. A. w.
a dkinson, then pastor of our church
in Mitchell, and who subsequently
served as vice president, the Board OF
Trustees, under the presidency OF
Hon. A. j. Edgerton, was brought
face to face with a more serious prob
lem than had ever before met them in
the history Of the Institution.
At the time of the fire, Dr.. Brush
| was in the east soliciting funds fol
the liquidation Of the remaining debt
and for the further completion Of the
| building. Up to this date. because OF
complications connected with the
transfer Of the property. the title
still remained in the hands Of Hon
A. M. Bowdle, who, true to hi:
agreement, patiently awaited the
completion OF the purchase by the
parties interested. He refused tt
permit so valuable a property to pas
into other hands than those of tn,
trustees. The loyalty of Mr.. Bowdl,
to the college enterprise at this crit
ical juncture cannot be too highl!
commended.

During the current year the school
was organized with DR.. William

L. a. Duncan was chosen to the chair
of mathematics and made purchasing
and distributing agent for the school.
Prof. Eastman was elected to the
chair Of languages and the institu-
tion placed in condition for successful
operation.
| At the Conference of 1886 the fnan-
cial condition Of the institution was
reported as follows: Valuation Of

This Indebtedness DR.. Brush as

Mitchell.
The Conference accepted the insti-
tuition and pledged itself to it's sup.
port.
Between the Conference sessions of
1887 and 1888, when the struggle incl.

was well passed and a prosperous fu.

in the month Of March a calamity

out by Mr.. Bowdle for his own pro-
tection-with Shrunken assets which
left an actual debt Of 5000, they
looked into the future where over
wbelming defeat seemed inevitable.
The spring and summer passed and
the Conference session approached.
DR.. Brush, meanwhile, with his char
acteristic energy, had secured funds
from Che east. one item of which was
a check Of $1,000, given by Senator
Stanford, OF California, who was then
in Washington. With this check he
at once purchased and secured deed
for the 1877 acres Of land upon which
the school property nov stands.
How to rebuild the college was
serious question. 1t was finally ar
ranged to erect smaller building at
a cost Of not to exceed $1,000 and to
await the natural growth of the con-
stituency which would enable an en-
largement.
But we were saved from what
surely would have been a fatal blum

COLLECTOR DOUSES
JAPANESE GLIM
STACKABLE TAKES HAND IN MAT
TER OF JAPANESE BOATS USING
LIGHTS OFF HARBOR AT NIGHT.

Collector Stackable has taken steps
to cause the japanese fishing crews to
discontinue the use of flare lights on
their sampans while off harbor at night.
The action on the part of the collector
was taken as the result of the general
complaint that has been made for so
long against the presence of lights off
the harbor. Island navigators espe-
cially have been very persistent about
the matter for they have declared in
unmeasured terms that the Japs ought
to be deferred from using the lights
about the harbOr entrance. Collector
Stackable has interviewed num-
Der of seafaring men and captains on
this subject and the almost universal
opinion was that some measures ought
| to be taken to check the use of the
lights.
! Collector Stackable issued a circular
! letter Thursday in which he warned
! the people who used the flare lights to
discontinue the use of such lights about
! the harbor entrance between Diamond
Head and BARRIERS Point. The Collec-
tor based his act on the following Trea-
sury decision and sections from the Ma
vigation laws:
Art Z, par. 8: "Vessels under oars
or sails of less than twenty tons shall
have ready at hand lantern with a
| green glass on one side and red glass
on the other, which, on the approach
of or to other vessels, shall be exhibited
in sufficient time to- prevent collision
so that the green light shall not be seen
on the port side nor the red light on
the starboard side"
Art 8: Fishing vessels of less than
twenty tons net registered tonnage
when under way and when not having
their nets, travis, dredges, or lines ir
the water, shall not be obliged to carry
the colored side-lights; but every sucf
vessel shall in lieu thereof have ready
at hand a lantern with green glass OF
the one side and a red glass on th'
other side, and on approaching to o.
being approached by another Vesse
such lantern shall be exhibited in sutf
Gent time to prevent collision, so tina
the green light shall not be seen on thu
port side nor the red light on the star
board side"
Art. 70: Every vessel may if nee
essary in order to attract attention, il
addition to the lights which she is b,
these rules required to carry, show
fiare-up light or use any detonatln
signal that can not be mistaken for
distress signal"
Collector Stackable personally mott
fed the Japanese bosses of the fishin
companies that the use of the light
must cease. At first the crowd demur
red and said that they had won thi
point in the police court. The Collec
tor said he would charter the tug Fear
less and patrol the coast line and caus
the arrest and prosecution of the OF
tenders if such lights were used. In
result was that the lights have nc
been used the last two nights.
