MEETING OF MINISTER'S.
Important Session of German Luther
ans at belmont.

Delniont, S. D., Aug. 2S.-The minis
ters of the German Evangelical Lu-
theran church of the Missouri synod
located in South Dakota have CON
Guided a very important meeting
here. They have been in SEES
sion nearly a week, and the ses-
sions were presided over by Rev. F.
Oberhue of Wentworth. Rev. c. Ru-
dolph of Memo acted as secretary. The
growth of the church N the state has
been SO prosperous that it was decided
at this meeting to " connection with
the Minnesota branch and make South
Dakota a separate district.
The next meeting will be held at Free
nlan next June.
There are seventy-eight congregations
in he state, with $500 voting members,
and a total of about $4,000 souls.
Discussion on church discipline occu-
pied the principal part Of the time. The
sixteenth article of the Augsburg CON
fession was an important point of dis
cussion. An essay on the relation of
pastors to such members of their con
gregation who have fallen away from
the discipline of the church created a
lively discussion and no definite rule
was decided on. The church takes spe-
'cial care of the religious training of it's
children by maintaining parochial
1choolS in each congregation.

AN INTERESTING RELIC.
Old Style Powder Horn of Two Ger

Old Style Powder Horn of Two Ger:
turtles Ago Comes to Light.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 2S.-An in
teresting relic is temporarily in the Ma
sonic library in this city. 1t is an old
style powder horn, and is the property
of Frank Linebeck of Hartford. While
at Hartford, Dr.. A. H. Tufts of this
city, saw the relic and secured the con-
sent of the owner to place it on exhibit
ton in this city for q short time.
The old powder norm has upon it's sur-
face the following unique inscription:
"Ticonderoga, Lake George, July 5, 1853
Seth Bullock, his horn. If / This
Luse And You This Find, Restore 1t
Me, For 1t Is Mine"
An Iowa family brought the horn
from the east sixty years ago., and it
has been in the possession of Mr.. Line
beck for a period Of tWenty-eight years.
The horn has upon it a rough diagram
OF the fort, which is of turtle shape.
1t is thought the horn belonged to the
ancestors of Seth Bullock, the personal
friend of President Roosevelt, Who since
pioneer days has resided at Deadwood.
If Mr.. Linebeck will consent to sur
render the interesting relic, it is likely
the Black Hills man will present the
first claim to it when he learns of it's
existence.

Pierre, S. D., Aug. 2S.-While the
practice of cattle dipping has been fol-
lowed in Stanley n other counties
west of the river for several years, and
the disease of scabbies has been prac-
t1cally wiped out in that section, the
county inspector ordered general dip

this year. Cattle owners generally
started in to carry out the order, but
on account of the ain delaying the

now desire to get their beef cattle on
the market with only one dlpping. They
are willing to dip all cattle which re-

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Aug. 2S.-Seme-
thing of q sensation was created by the
announcement of the finding of a living
baby on an ash pile near the foot Of

1t was entirely nude. and although
badly chilled was vet alive.
DR.. Billion was summoned and after
an examination of the baby which
proved to be a girl, he stated that the
child might live.
The exposure was. however. too much
or the little one and it died during the
morning.
There is little doubt that a deliberate
attempt to murder the infant was made
before 1t was placed on the ash pile
and abandoned to its fate. Marks on,
the little throat clearly indicate that
the inhurnan person or persons who
abandoned 1T first chokes1 the little girl.
in an effort to end its life.
It's probable hat the infant became
unconscious as tie result of the chok-
ing. and that twas then taken to the
ash pile and abandoned in the belief
hat 1t was dead.
