HURON, S. D., Oct. 5.-CSpecial )-Ac-

tary Of Agriculture Wilson has had the
order requiring the dipping of all cattle
SO modified as TO only require the dip

ferred to created much trouble among cat
tlemen and shippers in this section Of the
state, and when Secretary Wilson was
here during the state fair his attention
was directly called to the matter with the
result that the department will now per-
init cattle not visibly diseased with scab-
les to be shipped without inspection from
points in quarantined areas to Chicago,
Kansas City, Omaha and other live stock
centers
When so shipped they will be submitted
for inspection on arrival at destination.
and If found to be free from the disease
and exposure in transit no further re-
striction will be placed upon them. II,

tie When uninspected cattle are shipped
in accordance with these rules the cars
in which shipment is made must be Ia

The modification will be helpful to
shippers and stocknen in this particular
locality, as much trouble has resulted from
the order promulgated three months OF
more since requiring all cattle. whether

SUIT FOR LOST CUTICLE
Demand for $4,000 Damages Crews Out
Of Skin Grating Operation.
ONE SUBJECT PROVES TOO PROMISING
George A. LoveiOy Alleges that Ply
stefan Peeled Nearly All skin
from Thighs While he
Was Unconscious.

SPOKANE. wash, oct. l5-George A.
Lovejoy, the Elk who was selected to
furnish the cuticle to save a fellow Elk's
wife suffering from severe burns, has
brought suit against G. z. Thomas for
$4,000 as the value OF fifty inches Of skin,
which, he says, the doctor peeled OF his
legs while under chloroform.
Mr. Lovejoy asserts that 1t was repre-
sented to him that the surgeon would take
from his thighs only two three strips
of cuticle, three or four inches long and
three-fourths Of an inch wide. After the
operation he found that the front of his
legs between knee and hip was stripped
and It was ten days before he was able
to leave the hospital.
Mrs. Fred b. Searles was burned in an
accident with a lamp at Lewiston. Ida,
and was brought here to st. Luke's hos
pital for treatment. A number OF Elks
volunteered to furnish cuticle to cover the
burned places, but Lovejoy proved such
promising subject that while under
chloroform all the skin necessary except
some supplied by Mrs. Searles' husband
and brother was peeled of his legs. The
grating operation was successful, but the
woman was so weakened from long illness
that she died.

EMOTION NEEDFUL TO RELIGION

ThOuEnts
Love" was the announced theme Of the
morning discourse of Rev. f. Combie Smith
nj the First Methodist church. The sermon
itself dwelt most effectively on the short
conninRs OF negative love-the love that
blossoms too late after the struggle is over,
after the heavily burdened one is dead. The
preacher found his text in those verses OF
Mark " which tell how the woman found
Jesus in Bethany and anointed His head
with the costly oil OF spikenard. DIR. Smith
gave. special attention to the saying of
Jesus when He rebuked the apostles for
erlticisng the woman. 1.-THE poor we have
always with you, but will not be with you
always"
''There Is no doubt about the sweet
Reniality and democratic companionship of
Jesus Christ In this respect He was
notable exception TO the leading men of His
time He was at home with all classes of
the people, and they were all nj home with
Him; but He was more especially at home
with the lowly and the poor. His first
miracle was performed to increase and pro-

STRENGTH IN sELF-TEsTIMONY
Dead Church is Dumb Church, Says
Rev. r. n. Curry.

Dead Church is Dumb Church, Says
Rev. r. n. Curry.
THE dead church is the dumb church,"
said Rev. e. r. Curry Of Calvary Baptist
church Sunday morning, when discourslng
on the value of personal testimony in re-
ligion. THE strong church is strong in
testimony. Great is the power Of the pulpit
people say. and II is true Yet Of how little
power It can be unless the conviction Of the
truth of it's teachings is driven home by the
testimony of church members as to their
personal experience. When men become
only philosophers the church Is retarded in
its growth.
mo one can doubt that the great power
Of the Methodist church has been the power
Of its witnessing. When Christians were
put to death in Rome. the emperors often
kept the people away, lest thousands should
hear the martyrs dying testimony and be
converted.
Christ was peculiar in His way Of teach
ing He did not give a written code of
ethics; He did not do his work in lyceums;
He did not teach from the synagogues. He
was paradoxical in all these things. lie
gathered His disciples around Him and
taught them; He did wonderful things
which they might see. All this that they
when John, in prison, and doubtful about the
great plan Of redemption, sent his friends
to Jesus to see what He was doing they
found Him healing the sick and teaching
the poor. Go and say to John said the
Master, that the blind see, the deaf hear,
and the gospel is taught to the poor
Again the Master said to Peter: Go forth
and tell to the people what you find in
your own heart So, under Christ's teach
ing, we find all these men bearing testl-
mony, telling of the things they have seen
and heard.
80 the idea Of the power of witnessing
took hold on the Apostle Paul one Of the
greatest of men. born a genius, with phil
osophy in his being, and oratory and gifts
of poetry. After the great light broke
upon Paul, he found himself standing be-
fore the people and simply stating what
happened to him on the way to Damascus.
He did not put religion into philosophical
statements; he did not essay oratory; he
told in a simple way of his Own conversion.
Before the Romans and Corinthians and the
Ephesians he stood and bore witness to the
love and works of Jesus Christ
Paul and Peter and all the disciples
found their power in telling what they knew
of their own experience. John Wesley,
greatest of modern preachers, had his
power in the same thing. The power of
the church always was and always will be
in the witnessing of its members Bear We
witness of the things the Lord has done.
There is nothing which cpmes of God that
we have any right to conceal"
