Some good Methodists don't dance, play cards or go to the theatre Other Methodists do. But they are now di- rectly reminded that their Church still forbids such antics. The Conference lat Los Angeles voted down a proposi- tion to modify paragraph PAS of the Church discipline so as to allow danc- ing, card-playing and theater-going by the decisive vote of Al to 1SS. This paragraph is as follows, and we print it for the benefit of Methodsts in this region who have never noticed it: In cases of neglect of duties of any kind, irnprudent conduct, indulging sinful tenpers or words, the buying, selling, or using intoxicating liquors as a beverage, signing petitions in favor of granting licenses for the sale of intox- icating liquors, becoming bondsmen for persons engaged in such traffic, renting property as place in or on which to manufacture or sell intoxicating liquors, dancing, playing at games of chance,

The Prince of Monaco has graciously consented to let the mystery of his finances be unveiled in the Figaro. He would have done this before if he had thought that the world took any inter- est in the matter according to the Lon don Chronicle. But he has been brought to see that it Is injurious to his reputa- ton to have it generally believed that he lives out of the tribute of the gam ing tables at Monte Carlo. The Monaco Budget is duly presented in the Figaro, and it appears that the principallty has an ample revenue quite apart from the gamblers. A thousand a year is raised upon matches alone. The company which provides the refreshing seabaths of Monaco, to say nothing of the the atre and sports, pays a handsome con- tribution. So modest are the Princes personal wants that his minister of fNance has not given him halfpenny forS three years The total income from the Casino is devoted to the cause of charity and the advancement of sci ence. .SIf you have lost all your money at the tables be sconsoled by the thought that it is healing some poor creature in the hospital Or otherwise spreading the arts of peace. ,.

A correspondent at Mentone writes to the Springfield Republican correct ing certain newspaper stories about ex- President Kruger. The, correspondent says that MT. Kruger does live in com plete retirement, and that strangers cannot see him except by chance, but there are obvious reasons why this should be so. The correspondent adds: MT. Kruger has found the residence here to be beneficial. He is in very comfortable state of health for one of his age.

The Russian soldiers must have mu- sic in order to do their best. The St. Petersburg Novosti says that number of pbpular bards and ballad singers have been sent to the front. who are to go from regiment to regiment and entertain the soldiers. The Russian peasant is intensely fond of music, and the nation possesses a great wealth of folk songs, which are handed down from generation to generation by pro- fessional singers or reciters, who are able to exercise a remarkable influence over their listeners. The Cossack or soldier songs are said to be bold and stirring compositions, full of freshness and vigor, inspiring feelings of loyalty, courage and contempt for death.

1t is quite likely that a measure
will be introduced in congress seeking
to make the railroads of the country
adopt the block system as a prevent
i've to the many accidents that are
occurring nearly every day. 1t would
seem that this would be an excellent
for adoption, for the public
is certainly entitled to some protec-
ton from these many accidents. 1t
is said that but o%ne-seventh Of the
railroads Of the country are operated
under the block system, which IA be
relied upon pretty generally as being
safe. The Milwaukee road in this
state employs the block system, and
the accidents in the way of collisions
are less frequent than on other roads.

DISPATCHES FROM PIERRE

That a Pierre correspondent is do

patches that appear in the daily pap

where he leaves of. and his stories
do not jibe within forty miles. The
editor of the Big Stone Headlight
colIaboIated a few Of these dispatches
during the fall and winter season
and they we're published in that pap

Sept. 1st: The unusually heavy
rains are producing a luxuriant
growth of grass on the ranges. Stock
men are jubilant.
Sept. 18th: The dry weather of the
past TWO weeks has cured the range
grass nicely and cattle are hardening
up for market in excellent shape.
Stockmen are jubilant.
Oct LIST: The low price Of cattle
results in throwing an unusual num-
Der on the market, which will relieve
the pressure on overstocked ranges,
and sLOckmen are jubilant.
Oct. 18th; The unseusOnably cold
WedLneI has given IduRe CdGlle al
early. lesson in "rustling," which will
doubtless prevent the loss Of many of
them later in the winter. StOckmcn
are jubilant.
Nov. 10th: The dry clear weather
and absence Of snow gives range cat
tie an opportunity TO secure food
anywhere and they are starting in
the winter in unusually fine condi-
zion. Slockmen are jubiiant.
Dec. lst: The recent heavy fall of
snow has provided Il means OF water
ing stock far from the streams and
gives them a chance to Craze over
new ranges distant from water sup
ply. The snowfall is worth hundreds
OF thousands of dollars to the ranch
men and they are jubilant.

ing ground on the ranges, giving

AS stated, this paragraph, we
think, was taken bodily from the
Milwaukee folder, "South Dakota"
along with some statistics. Perhaps

would not have characterized it as a

part Of the state-for even he can

the state, and when that city, as the
most important and best known point
an the extreme northern part Of the
state was mentioned 1t was virtually
claiming that corn could be raised
anywhere in that part Of the state.
The News cannot find a line that
ever came out from Mitchell-before
or after the capital question came up
that is in any way a sneeripg allus-
ion to "all that vast and important

RIFLE SHOOTING CONTEST
Ray Chase, of Alexandria, Does Some
Very Fancy Work With the
Rifle.

\ fair sized audience assembled at
the opera house Saturday night 20
witness the rifle shooting contest he
tween Ray Chase, the champion rifle
shot OF the world, and Ebert Taylor,
both Of Alexandria. Chase was to
shoot 500 balls thrown into the air by
a machine, in the sane length of
time that Taylor shot 800 balls.
Major o. W.. Coursey was selected
to manage the contest. He appointed
as time keepers Fl. G. Nichols. w.
z. Webster and Flavel Logan; and
selected Lieutenant Kin.b BILE, Walter
Nolt and James Coughlln to act as
judges.
Taylor shot first. 1t took him ten
minutes and four seconds to hit 300
balls. This was poor work, but Tay-
lol a. not condemned, as III was the
list time lie had ever shot by electric
lights. Their reflection on the white
surfaces round about made it exceed
inelY difficult for him to see the balls.
Some Of the guns pulled off a little
harder than the one with which he
had practiced, and this caused him to
shoot low occasionally.
Chase then gave an exhibition of
fancy shooting with a rifle. Two
balls were thrown up at a time and
he would shoot them both almost at
the same instant. Next three balls
we're thrown up together, and he
shot these without apparent effort.
BE then shot clay pigeons thrown up
by hand. with a pistol. In this work
be seldom missed a shot. After dis
carding the pistol he seized a rifle
and shot each Of the pigeons twice
in quick succession before they could
alight. A number of the pigeons had
nothing left Of them but a narrow
outside band.
His next exhibition was to shoot
fftv shots just as rapidly as he could,
aud to see how many balls he could
hit. The machine that threw the
balls as soon as its speed was in
creased threw them with additional
force, and they went up into the cur
tain scenery overhead. He was
obliged to wait fer some Of them to
come down before he could shoot;
and as they did several Of them
came so close to him that be could
touch them with the END OF the rifle
barrel. This handicapped him a great
deal. Despite this difficulty he struck
"a balls out of the fifty shots in thir-
ty seconds. The machine was slowed
down and he was given a trial Of ten
shots at the balls. de struck every
one Of them.
He then competed with .Taylor's
record. He shot 500 balls ip eight
minutes, thirty-6ve and one-half Sec
onds-shooting 200 balls more than
Taylor and doing 1T in one minute,
thirty-eighJ and one-half seconds less
time.

THE SOUTH AND THE NEGRO.

CLARK Howell, editor Of tho cat
Ianta Constitution, writing in Col
lier's fer October 20, says in part:
Tho south can be, and is, beth fair
and just TO the negro, and the only
thing that stands in the way Of the
establishment of entirely peaceful and
friendly relation between the two
races is the friction that is engendered
by the use to which The Republicans
are putting tho negro for selfish par.
tisan euds-poiFoning him against his
real best friends and making it The
more difficult for the white people Of
the south to do for him what they
would, in elevating the race to tho
plano of good citizenship, if left to
work ont the problem without being
constantly beset by the fire brands of
sectional misrepresentation and racial
antagonism. :.
AT no lime since III e days of Re-
construction has the tension between
the races in tho south been so marked
as now, and it is the more remarkable
in that this condition immediately
follows an era of unprecedented har-
mony in the relations between the
whites and the blacks.
For this deplorable development no
one is more responsible than Presi-
lent Roosevelt; and for the long
period Of amioahlesnd friendly feeling
preceding his administration the
country at large will never know what
it owes to ex-President Cleveland
and TO the lamented Mckinley. Oleve-
land proved that a Democratic presi-
dent could be, and would be, just and
fair to the negro as a citizen, and ii
remained for Mckinley to establish
the fact that even where political
exigency demanded that the negro be
awarded office, it could be done in a
way that left no sting, The people of
the south were convinced that it was
Mother M3Kipley's desire, nor plea
sure, to ride rough shod over their in
breed sensibilities Or their domestic
traditions.
