MedOra Dance.
The People Of Medora and Billings County
Gave q farweIl Dance Monday Evening
to the Eatons. Many Dickinson
People Attended.

Dickinson people never lose an op-
portunity to attend a dance at Medora.
They always have a good time and can
not say too muchi in praise of the Billings
county entertainers who do the right
thing at the right time and make every
n feel perfectly at home.
The dance given at Medora on Mon
day evening was given in honor of the
Eatons who leave soon for their new
home at Sheridan, Wyoming. The dance
hall was we'll filled at an early hour.
People came from great distances not
withstanding the swollen condition Of the
steams and the bad roads.
At midnight the dance was stopped
long enough to partake of an appetizing
luncheon and then the merry whirl was
resumed and continued until after 3
o'clock.
The Eatons are among the best known
people in North Dakota today. They
come from good old Pennsylvania and
migrated from Pittsburg IS years ago,
Howard coming to Billings county as
early as 1879, and Willis and Alden a
year or two later. They were familiar
with the Marquis De Mores' ventures at
Medora, and had many pleasant expert
ences with President Roosevelt during
his residence in Billings county.
The Custer Trail ranch, four miles
south of Medora, long since became
famous, and the Eatons made it so.
They were naturally hospitable people,
and their perfect knowledge of early
pioneer life in the Bad Lands made it
easy for them to entertain and please
city people who visited their historic
ranch by giving them an idea of
"life on the PLAINS.
The people of Billings county have
given the Eaton Bros. many honors in
the way of public Offices and it is with
genuine regret that they see them get.
ting ready to leave the state.
Some of those who attended the dance
from Dickinson we're: Mrs. H. A,
Davis, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Roquette,

Easter.

Easter Day dawned bright and warm
as Easter day should he and large audi.
ences gathered for the various services, f;
although the occasional snow ha,.as IL.
minded the %worshipers that the winter
was not long lover and gone.
METHODIST.
Amid the fragrant flowers whose beau.
ty spoke so eloquently of the resurrec-
ton, the children OF the Methodist Sun
day school on Easter morning sang their
carols of joy and praise. The mission
offering received at this service amount
ed to sixty-four dollars. At the evening
service the special musical feature was
Miss Anderson's solo.
CONGREGATIONAL.
The decorations at the Congregational
church were quite elaborate with a pro-
fusion of Easter lilies and carnations
and potted plants in bloom. Communion
was observed in the morning, the chorus
choir furnishing the music. Owing to
Mrs. Rominger's illness there was no
solo work. The children OF the Sunday
school had their song and praise service
in the evening,an1 a very pretty and up
lifting service it was as the sweet young
voices told of the risen Christ. The
Easter mission offering amounted to
forty dollars.
CATHOLIC.
The Resurrection service at St. Joseph's
Saturday evening was very beautiful and
impressive. The church was in half light
at the beginning of the service and un-
accompanied voices took up the respon.
ses; but at the words "Christus resurrec.
tus est" there was a flood of light and
altar and church stood forth in all the
glory of Easter beauty and brightness
The decorations were in exceptionally
good taste. A new statue of St. Paul
added to the general effect. The organ
added its voice to the resurrection
song as the procession passed around
he church some fifty young girls in white
and wearing flowers accompanying FIR
Rabsteinek.
The Sunday services al both churches
were impressive and the houses were
packed.
EPISCOPAL.
Services at St. Johns Easter Day were
very largely attended. At the early
celebration at 7 a. m. % persons receiv'
cd Holy Communion. At the late cele,
bration the music was very inspiring
A special anthem was sung by the choil
and the ofertory solo by Miss Stella
Rau "The Choir Boy" was beautiful,
rendered. Stella never sang more sweet
ly and her solo on Sunday was without
doubt the best ever sung by a young
lady OF her age in this city. At the
evening services the Knights Templa1
attended with a large number of member.
of the local lodge of A. F. and A. M
, and the sermon which was on the resur
rection was especially addressed t.
them. From general report the sermon
t was one of the best ever delivered in tn.
city. The decorations of palms, Easte
lilies and carnations were arranged OF
and about the altar with good effect ane
made the sanctuary very beautiful. Tn
: offerings at the services amounted t
: s32.5o and was for home missions.

The Case Auainst Smoot.

The interest so widely shown by
women's organizations in the Smoot case
is plainly due to their moral attitude
against polygamy. Many of these good
people who have not followed the case
closely have continued to assert that Mr..
Smoot himself is a polygamist-a sheer
invention, which no one at Washington
connected with the case against Smoot
has ever thought of bringing forward.
Simmered down, the real attack upon
Smoot can be stated in this way: Present.
day Mormonism is an immoral and quasi
criminal conspiracy, held together, on
the part of its leaders, by oaths incom-
patible with loyalty to the Constitution
and Government of the United States;
for which reason no protesting Mormon,
and especially no high ruler of the Nor
mon organization, ought to be allowed to
sit in either House of Congress. If
Smoot be excluded it must be upon some
such ground as this. 1t is not likely
that Congress, having admitted a Nor.
mon state to the Uuion, will not 60 SO
far as to hold that Mormons may no,
represent their state in Congress. Tn.
doubleday, however, Congress will hence.
forth, in all cases, exclude men known
to be polygamists. furthermore, when.
ever it can be Enthusiastically shown that
apostles or rulers in the Mormon church,
even though not polygamists, have been
guilty of performing the ceremony of
polygamous marriages, or otherwise OF
encouraging or c%ondoning polygamy, i,
is scarcely likely that henceforth they
will be seated in Congress, even though
in thier own cases p~olygamists OF cell.
