!, MRS. ROGERS PAYS PENALTY
GOES TO THE GALLONS WITH.
OUT A TREMoR AND WITH.
OUT "A WORD.

{ Windsor, VT, Dec. 10.-Without a
lremor and without word, Mrs. Mary
Mabel Rogers yesterday marched to
ner death on the gallows at the state
prison here and paid the penalty of
numbering her husband, Marcus Rog-
ers, at Remington on Aug. Is, 1902.
TO all appearances Mrs. Rogers was
the calmest person in the chamber of
death. She faced her end with the
same stoical Indifference that had
marked her demeanor ever since her
arrest, more than three years ago.
Greatly to the relief of those officials
who were assisting in executing the
sentence, Mary Rogers last hour was
remarkably free from narrowing Incl
dents. 1t had been feared that the
woman's wonderful nerve would de-
sert her at the final moment and that
she would be carried to the scaffold in
state of collapse. Instead however,
Mrs. Rogers met death bravely.
There were no sensational incidents
In connection with the hanging.

just completed new house OF wor-
ship at a cost of more than $4,000, and
the First church at Sioux Falls is ma
turing plans for 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, gain of 1877 over the previous
year. The total valuation of church
property is $276,396, an increase OF
nearly $11 1000. There was contribut-
ed for benevolences s1S,O694S, for
current expenses $43,309.47 and for To-
cal improvements $1O,78382, 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.

LAW SUIT OVER SCHOOL BOND.
Bank Seeks 10 Hold County Liable for Interest and Principal
Interesting Case

Interest was paid annually up to the
time the bond fell due, when the
money to redeem the bond was placed
in the bank and holders Of the bond
notified to forward it to the bank for
payment. This they failed to do, and
since 1899 until the time of bringing
action, holders of the bond failed to
comply with the request, but now
bring suit to recover not only the $500
claimed to be due, but compound in.
terest aggregating s418. The school
officers of the district signify their
willingness to pay the face of the bond,
but will not pay the interest assessed
as herein stated, claiming their notice
of intention to redeem was given by
advertising the money deposited and
that it was no fault of the officers that
the bond was not redeemed.

/ Christ. Yet no one pretends to deny
the fact that Christ lived and did more
to relieve suffering and to render the.
earth tolerable place in which to live
than all other characters combined.
| The situation seems to be too incon-
| siStent for consideration. Personally,
| believe in the sanity of the American
people. l 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 APP
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 tho matter clear
through as yet, but I am convinced
that the public must grapple with the
problem and do so Immediately, or the
neglect will be accompanied with
grave results. There is enough abso-
lutely undisputed ground in the reli-
gious world to save the race. Why not
agree on that undisputed ground and
absolutely avoid all controverted
points? 1t does not matter what any
teacher believes relative to the Sab
bath question, SO long as he avoids dis
cussion on that point.
II have arrived at the conclusion
that there cannot be any effective
moral teaching absolutely divorced
from the religious element

MORAL [ EDUCATION IN STATE SCHOOLS
superintendent OF public Instruction Is Enthusiastic over His

The theory of moral instruction in
the schools has been before the Ma

!. last five years, but nothing definite has
been done. Spasmodic efforts have
been made in various states to intro
duce such teaching. Supt. Ramer
hopes to get a committee appointed
that either will select textbook for
teachers or compile such work. OF
his plan Supt. Ramer says:
"The public has exactly the kind of
schools that it has demanded. The
schools were forbidden to discuss mat
ters that could in any way be termed
religious This meant the question Of
morals had to be neglected also. Then
the people cried Goddess schools be.

dents in all grades were acquiring a
disregard for things sacred and eth

tendencies toward falsehood, decep.

rights of Others.
Public Misplaces Blame.
"The great trouble is that the pub
lie has misplaced the blame. The
schools are exactly what the people
have demanded. The teachers, | be-
lieve, stand ready to take up the work
Of sowing seeds Of morality just as

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 separate school board was
formed within the corporate limits of
the town. The Indebtedness of the

OUR POSITION.

We have been chidcd and mildly
rcproachcd because we did not fill
the columns of TIE UNION TINES
! full of dcnunciations and preach
prohibition, we have no apology to
make to those who are pleased to
think we did not do our duty in
this respect. We have said enough
to satisfy any reasonable, sensible
person, of our position on the whis-
key question. On the first page OF
last week TIMES we printed an ar
ticlc giving scientific exposition OF
the effects whiskcy has on the hu-
man system. We are never wildly
enthusiastic about anything. We
do not think that those who make
the most noise, who want and rear
always do the most good, we arc
pleased to leave all that to the scn-
sational, fanatic and yellow Journal
as we give people credit for having
some sense, Judgment and will OF
their own, and don't think because
they don't do as VIC do or say, that
they are fools and dcrclict in thcil
duty. There are some daily and
weekly newspapers that were very
quiet on the dispensary question
before and during the last session
of the legislature, but are now very
loud in denouncing the dispcnsary
because they see the tide is running
in that direction, such papers al
ways wait to find which way the It'd,
will drift, then float with it.

Mr.. Editor-I have watched with
no little interest the warfare being
wagcd against the dispcnsary. If
we judge by some peoples zeal
manifested in the effort to kill the
dispcnsary, that nothing else will
be needed to usher in the millcn-
MUM. | put myself on record as
being an advocate of temperance in
its broadcst sense. In fact am
not only opposed to the use of spir-
ituous liquors as beverage, but
after careful study, observation and
experience, | would discard them
as II medicine. There are other
stimulants equally as cfficacious.
Medicines, containing alcohol, are
often responsible for that morbid
appetite and craving for whiskcy
that follow their use.
The fight is now on. Before this
appears in print the question of
dispcnsary or no diapensary will be
decided. 1t is a poor general who
leaves his flanks and rear unpro-

The position taken by w. Boyd
Evans, Esq, that the Bricc bill is
unconstitutional for the reason that
when voting out the dispcnsary you
vote tax of one half mill upon all
of the taxable property in the coun-
ty may be well taken, but even if
that provision in the bill be uncon-
stitutional, it does not necessarily
follow that the provision in the
same bill giving the right to the
people to vote out dispcnsary is
also unconstitutional. If, however,
the Bricc bill must be construed as
