$500 Given BY Indians FOR Various
Branches of Church Work.
The most successful conyocation Of
the Episcopal church in the cnurch's
history lii South Dakota closed at the
convocation camp on Bear creek. The
weather was especially propitious the
entire period of four days during
which the convoeation was In session.
Large delegations of Indians were
present from various reservations In
Nebraska, South Dakota and North
Dakota, and the offerings of the vari.
Gus branches Of the woman's auriliar-
les exceeds $4,000. The offerings Of
the men amounted to $500, making a
grand total Of $3.50 given by Indians
devoted to various branches of church
work. When it is considered that this
large sum of money comes voluntarily
from people who are as q class poor
and destitute themselves, their loyal
support OF their church seems the
more commendable. One is immedi-
ately and forcibly reminded OF the
widows mite Of which we read in the
Scriptures.
"A large class was present for con.
firmation. but the absence of Bishop
Hare occasioned by the state Of the.
bishops health caused many disap.
pointments. Yankton agency was
chosen by the delegates Of the convo-
cation to be the place where the con-
vocation should be held next year.
This place was chosen with the
hope that, it being more accessible by
rail. Bishop Hare would be able to at
tend the session with less hardship
than II it were located in the interior
OF some one of the other larger reser-
vations.

Jones Bros, who own forty-two
acres Of land in Lake county, prob
ably will receive a greater financial re-
turn from the crop raised on the tract

BANK DEPOSITS or STATE.

Total Amount In State and National
Banks Is $2s,22o,543.
It is well-known fact that the
people Of South Dakota OF to-day are
prosperous, and the established figures
show that for several years they have
created more new wealth per capita
each year than those of any other
state in the Union. A short time ago
e. e. Hemingway. the state examiner
issued statement Of the affairs of
1tate and private banks doing business
in South Dakota, showing that these
banks carried deposits to the amount
Of 1898, 69292.
The latest government report on the
national banks doing business in
South Dakota show that this class Of
banks are carrying deposits to the
amount of $11,S2S,S50. The deposits
OF all the banks OF the state in botn
national and state banks reach the
sum of s29. 220.543, or. on an estimated
population of about half a million in
the state. practically $3.50 of bank de-
posits for every resident in the state.
The indications are that the state
will keep up its reputation for produc
ton of wealth this year, and the bank
deposits will be increased according

The old man was aroused by hear.
ing some one in his dwelling. A mo
ment later stranger appeared be-
fore him and in gruff and threaten.

The old man, quite naturally, was
greatly alarmed and lost no time in
handing over to the robber the sum
OF eight dollars, all the money he had
on hand at the time.
While in the act of transferring the
cash to the burglar the old man re-
marked that he would not have
enough money to purchase a supply Of

The gentlemanly burglar promptly
handed the victim so cents and dis

unable to discover any trace OF him.
The woman who was assaulted and
murdered in the Mennonite colony
near Yankton was a widow named
Hofer. The original story is entirely
substantiated except that she was
still alive when found and was able to
utter the words, Three of them did
it, before she died. The time that
has elapsed since the murder is sum

persons to be lost.

Hyde was In full uniform, his sword

still with the air OF man not avorse

Katherine in his arms. kissed away
her tears, made her many a loving
promise and then, lifting his cap and
cloak, left the room. Evidently he
had quite recovered his health and
strength. for he sprang very easily
into the saddle. and, gathering the
reins in his hand. kept the FESTIVE
animal in perfect control
A moment he stood thus. the very
ideal Of a fearless. chlyalrous, hand
some soldier: the next. his face soft
sned TO almost womanly tenderness.
for he saw Katherine coming hastily
through the dim hall and into the
clear sunshine and In her arms was
his little son. She came fearlessly TO
his side. and lifted the sleeping child
20 him. He stopped and kissed It and
then kissed again tho beautiful
mother: and calling happily back
ward, "Good-by. my love; God keep
you, love; good.by." he gave his
horse his own wild will and was
soon Lost to sight among the trees OF

DEAD MAN MAKES TROUBLE.

Presence In Spirit Form Obnoxious to
His Successor.
A colored family In Almagro has
recently been broken up because OF
the nightly appearance OF the wife's
former husband. says the Danyllle
(Va) correspondent OF the Richmond
Dispatch. The fact that the man In
question has been dead a year or
two does not seem to affect in the
least his desire TO look upon the hap
piness OF his former helpmeet. He
invades the privacy OF the woman's
chamber, much TO the annoyance OF
her present husband. He made one OF
his frequent visits the other night. Ho
was dressed entirely In white, and
came and stood at the foot Of the
bed.
The living husband decided that the
dead man had the best right TO the
woman's presence. and he dived
through the window, carrying the
sash with him. The woman, who
seems to have preferred the living to
the dead, followed his example. The
pair spent the night, thlnly clad, I'M
der the stars.
And now there will be a divorce
suit, the man refusing longer TO live
with a woman whose dead husband
visits her in the night.

london, Oct. 27-Foreign Secretary
JIansdowne considers that Russia,s re-
ply in its present form is incomplete,
especially in the failure to grant Great
Britain,s demands for the punishment
In principle of such officers as might be
Hound responsible.
Lord Lansdowne said late in the att
ernoon, however, that he trusted the
matter would be settled within twenty
tour hours.
In interviews at the foreign office
with the foreign ambassadors Lord
1ansdowne, though in no degree pessi-
mistic regarding the eventual outcome,
gave his callers clearly to understand
that he did not regard Ambassador
Benckendo letter as altogether sat
dsfantOry and that 1t was distinctly IN
complete. It was gathered that Lord
Lansdowne has insisted that in the
written reply to be handed to Ambas-
sador Hardinge by Russian Foreign
Minister Lamsdorf punishment IN
principle shall be included and that
though Great Britain is unable at the
present moment to specify the indiyid-
uals likely to be found sponsible Rus
eia must pledge herself not only TO
