REV. SHANAFELT MAKES A REPORT
As General Missionary and Secretary Of Raptists Of The State
of South Dakota.

900; the German church at Avon has
just completed a new house Of wor-
ship at a cost of more than 5000, and
the First church at Sioux Falls is ma
turing plans for a new building. Aside
from these, two new ~parsonages have
been erected. Fourteen ministers from
other states have settled as pastors in
South Dakota during the year, and ten
have gone to other fields outside of
the state. Fifteen fields are now with
out regular pastors.
The present total membership of the
Baptist church in South Dakota is
6,127, a gain of 1877 over the previous
year. The total valuation of church
property is $276,396, an increase of
nearly 81, 900. There was contribut-
ed for benevolences $~13,069.4S, for
current expenses s43,309.47 and for To-
cal improvements SO, 1882, making a
total of $~67,122.47.
Altogether, DR.. Shanafelt reports
the condition of the churches, both
spiritually and financially, very good,
and all are doing very satisfactory
work.

DEADlIEsT YEAR ON LAKES
TOTAL OF a15 LIVES WERE LOST
ON THE GREAT LAKES THIS
SEASON.

Chicago, Dec. IL. - According tt
figures compiled by the Lake Marine
News Bureau the death list on the
Great Lakes during the season now
closing has been the heaviest of any
year since big steel vessels began to
be used on the lakes.
A total of 215 lives were lost. OF
these 116 were lost during the three
great storms of this fall. The remain
ing 80 were lost by falling overheard
and like causes.
During the season of 1904 only AZ
lives were lost on the Great Lakes,
this being the smallest loss on record
and only two of these were due to
shipwrecks.
Lake Erie, which led the list Of dead
for a number of years, this season
gave place to Lake Superior, where 50
sailors we're lost, as compared with 40
for Lake Erie, 80 for Lake Huron, Is
for Lake Michigan, 10 for Lake On
tario, II for the Detroit-St. Clair river
passage and 6 for the 500 passage.

The Security Bank Of Faulkton has
commenced proceedings in the cir
cult court of Beadle county that will
be of more than passing interest to
school officers and township school
boards throughout the state. An ac-
ton is brought to enforce the payment
of a bond to the amount Of $500 issued
by the school officers of Cavour town
ship in 1884.
The bond was issued before Cavour
township was organized or the town
of Cavour was incorporated. A char
ter of incorporation was issued In
1888, and a separate school board was
formed within the corporate limits OF
the town. The Indebtedness of the
former school district was divided and
the village of Cavour was released
from liability on the bond here re-
ferred to.

GET TRUE SCHOOL CENSUS.
State Land Department Calls fol
Sworn Statement.

S"Sth
BY sending circular letters to coun-
ty school superintendent the state
land department this year purposes
to avoid trouble in the enforcement OF
the provisions of chapter ga of the
Laws OF 1905. This law requires
school officers to make sworn state
ment regarding their returns OF
school census.
In the past such returns were made
without oath. and with the state schoo
fund apportioned OF the number OF
children returned there was a strong
temptation to some Of the officers t.
make the return as strong as posi-
BILE. When the reports began to come
in it was necessary to return many OF
them for the sworn statement, and in
some cases the report was sent bach
several times before it was finally COM
pleted.
By the time the apportionment for
next year is made there will be an
other factor to be considered in chap
ter 1853 of the laws of last session,
which requires pupils attending the
different state schools to be excluded
from the lists Of the counties in which
such schools are located when the
census for the apportionment of the
school fund is made. The intent OF
this is that when the state is paying
for the education Of pupils at a state
school such pupils are not entitled to
a share of the general state fund when
distributed.

Them.
Yankton has a reform movement in
progress. Some of its citizens are cir
culating a petition already numerous
ly signed, calling for a mass meeting
at which, with politics eliminated, a
citizens ticket" shall be nominated
and supported at the coming spring
election.
Numerous reforms are under con-
sideration and both the support OF Re
publicans and Democrats alike is
being pledged 10 the movement.
Mavor FanSlow himself was the first
to sign the petition, and it looks now
as if the plan would go through sue
cessfully, as all classes of business
men show much interest in the non
partisan movement, which has for its
object a better Yankton in business
and moral ways.
Every gambling house in Belle
Fourche has been closed, and for once
the city is free from the gambling
vice. A woman was about 10 begin
suit against one of the places TO re-
cover money lost by her husband, and
as court was in session here the gam
blers decided to close up. The bust,
ness men intend to keep the ouses
closed. Nearly every county in the
western part of the state is now purg'
ed of gambling.

MORAL EDUCATION IN Estate SCHOOLS
Superintendent Of Public Instruction Is Enthusiastic Over His
plan-Explans System.

Christ. Yet no n pretends to deny
the fact that Christ lived and did more
to relieve suffering and to render the
earth a tolerable place in which to live
than all other characters combined.
The situation seems to be too incon-
sistent for consideration. Personally,
l believe in the sanity of the American
people. I believe they are not really
cognizant of the true status Of affairs,
and that as soon as they do see it they
will make this wrong right.
'The most serious aspect Of the sit
uation is that the schools promise to
give the children everything worth
having that will help them to live com.
pletely.
Religious Teachings Avoided.
"These schools have studied to omit
the teaching of morals and religion,
therefore the child has come to think
that the moral and religious side Of
his education is unworthy Of account.
The impressions that have been left
in this silent manner have been about
the most telling teaching that possibly
could be done. Even If the parents
were doing their duty in regard to the
moral and religious instruction of
their children, it is essential that the
schools place the stamp Of their ap-
prevail on that side of the human edu-
cation, from the fact that their silence
on the point cannot be otherwise than
potent in creating sentiment antago-
nistic to the religious side Of mans
nature.
81 have not thought the matter clear
through as yet, but I am convinced
that the public must grapple with the
problem and do so Immediately, or the

Friends are about to move in the in
'terest of securing a pardon for Elmer
Young, now serving a three years SEN
tence in the Sioux Falls penitentiary
for horse stealing.
He was sent up from Mitchell, and
after serving a part OF his TIM made
a quiet escape on New Years day, go
ing to North Dakota and later learning
the barber trade in Minneapolis under
the name of Brown. His home was
near Washington Springs, and after
his escape from Sioux Falls the crimes
of the surrounding country were gen.
orally charged up to him, so he was
given credit for numbering George
Todd eas of here about a year ago.
He was supposed to be at home, and
detectives went to Jerauld county
after him, but on his not being found
there his father and two brothers were
arrested for the crime. One Of the
boys, John, was put in Jail and held for
trial.
In the meaptime the United States
and Canada were being searched for
Elmer. Some eight months after the
arrest of his people Elmer heard OF
the affair and Of his brother being in
jail, and he voluntarily fastened to
Miller to give an account of himself.
He showed that he had committed NJ
crime after stealing the horses except
to leave the penitentiary, and to clear
his brother of suspicion of having been
an accomplice with him in the Todt
affair, he came back to prove his in
nocence of it, knowing hat he must go
back to Sioux Falls and serve his time.
The application for the pardon will be
largely signed. Gernald Young, the
other brother arrested. postponed his
wedding a year on account of the ar
rest. There was also a loss Of prop
erty to the family.
