PLAIN GOSPEL
FROM new PASTOR

The scholarly address of Rev. J..
Walter Sylvester, the new pastor, at
Central Union church, yesterday morn
ing, was delivered in such a forceful,
yet conservative and simple manner,
as to indicate that his church will be
by men. His sermons, in their simple
treatment of doctrinal matters, are
the sort that appeal TO men.
Yesterday mornings sermon was the
first he has delivered since he formal
ly accepted the call to the pulpit of
Central Union. His text was taken
from Matthew 22:42. What Think Ye
of Christi" In this day it is becoming
custom, he said, to decry dogma.
Men think that, SO long as they be-
lieve, they are doing all that is re-
quired of them from a Christian stanI-
point. What one thinks of Jesus Christ
is his measure of manhood. AS regards
Christ, it is not so much a matter
to us of what His origin was. He is
here. and therefore what do we think
of Him?
Christ, said the pastor, stands out
against the background of human his
tory, a most stupendous figure The
church believes in Christ, not because
of his miracles, but because of him
self.
He said there has been too much
OF theorizing as to Christ. He himself
would not attempt to explain how it
was that one man laying down his
life should have the power to redeem
the world.
ITO be perfectly frank" he said. 1T
don't believe understand this mystery:
enough to know that Jesus has the
power to save. He saved my soul and
that is how He is the savior
The cross of Christ, he added, needs
no eulogy to defend it.
Last evening Col. French of the Sal
walton Army. assisted by Adjutant
BAN berry of the local corps and other
officers. conducted service at Cen
trail Union.

Son of st. George Says
Order Promotes
Citizenship.

Past President r. A Jordan's re
marks at the recent gathering of the
Sons of ST. George, We're as follows:
mo Englishman worthy of the name
will deny that the Order Sons of ST.
George is pre-eminently the best fra
ternal organization he can belong to.
"A large number of our fellow-coun-
trymen when they arrive here find
themselves strangers in a strange land
with none to guide or instruct them
in the habits and customs of the land
of their adoption. It is here where our
beloved Order displays its benevolent
purposes by assisting the newcomer
to our shores with words of encourage
ment and advice, assisting them to pro-
cure employment and instructing them
in the ways of this country; to make
wise provision for times of sickness,
misfortune or death; to place our mem
bers in position where they need no
charity, but where they can retain that
personal independence SO dear to every
Englishman. To enjoy the sympathy
and fellowship of their fellow-country-
men and by the bonds of fraternal
brotherhood which the strength of unity
creates, we may exercise our share of
influence in the prosperity of the Unit
ed States. to the end that we may COM
mand the respect and recognition to
which all worthy Englishmen are en-
titled.
I'VE teach that no true Englishman
can ever become a traitor, even in the
smallest sense, to the country of his
adoption, and while entertaining
proper love and respect for the moth

ton.
Our special aim and object is to-
instilI upon our members that rever-I
ence and love for our native land. go
hand in hand with loyalty and fidelity
to the country we have chosen as
our home.
Having briefly outlined the general
aims and objects of our Order I would
remind you that as an
a duty devolves upon you
to help perpetuate those grand prin-
ciples upon which our adopted country
was founded. It's common laws, its
language and institutions were founded
by our ancestors and we extend a cor
dial invitation to you to join our be-
loved Order in handing down the glori-
Gus heritage which we have received.
There are lodges in every important
city and town in the states, embracing
within their folds membership sec

and business men as well
as those of other occupations, in fact, !
all classes and trades are represented.
THE Order recognizes the freedom
of its members in their religious and
political affiliations, and aims only to
better their material and social con-
1itions.''

SMELLS STATES ACREAGE
Swamp Land Belonging to Minnesota
According to Ruling.

FROM thursday s Daily.
Samuel G. Ivefson, state auditor, is
much pleased over the ruling of the
attorney general of the United States,
which awards the state of Minnesota
thousands of acres of swamp lands in
Cass county, to which the state had
long sought a patent. Though the rul-
ing directly bears on but $4,000 acres, it
actually applies to about 10000 acres.
On this land is timber which if sold,
would probably bring 100000. Mr..
Ivcrson has been confident that the state
would eventually secure the title to
the Cass county swamp lands, and in pre-
paration for such a victory, has already
had most of this land surveyed ready
for draining. He will recommend to the
next legislature a liberal appropriation
for this purpose. In their present
swampy condition the lands are worth
comparatively little. Drained, they will
bring from S. an acre up.

DOING GOOD WORK.
Use of Road Drags Is Bcttering the
Roads About Mankato.
From Thursdays DaiW.l

|
The King road drags are already max
ing a decided difference in the condition
of the roads around Mankato, where they
are being used. George NJ. Phillips was
out BY II. c. Randalfs farm in Belgrade
yesterday and found the road like a
race track. Mr.. Randall was smoothing
it down in the afternoon. using three
horses, and doing splendid work.
DIR. J. W. Andrews was out on the Ma.
pleton road yesterday and noticed that
one of the drags was being used by the
road overseer, who was greatly pleased
with it. The road was smooth and pleas
ant to drive upon. t.a
Only good words are spoken for the
work of these draos by those who have
used them or seen the good work that
they do.

County Surveyor Brooks states that
Vernon Center township has taken adj
vance ground in road improvement, fol-
lowing plan that is in use in in Illinois.
The water along the highways is being
removed bv means of drain thing, and
the township pays portion of the cost
and the farmers that are benefited pay
the balance. vs. %svx, .
Mr. Brooks states that the split log
drags are being used in Vernon Center,
and that as a result the streets and
roads there are the best that ha has ever
seen them. Mr. Brooks is enthusiastic
over the split log drags, which are very
inexpensive, and which do not require
more than three horses to pull them at
most
Mr.. Brooks makes the point that the
farmers ought not to use all of the
road money at the first of the season,
but should wait until the roads are in
good condition to work before using it.
Enough should be held back to keep the
roads good all of the time, which can be
done by using the split log drag, for only
one man is needed to operate it.

CARNIVAL AT SIOUX FALLS.
Parker's Big Shows Opened There in
sa Great Style.

| FROM lHuISuoy > l1diiy.
| Despite the threatening weather. all
the shows of the Great Parker Amuse-
ment company opened for business last
night, and if the crowds that were there
are to be any criterion for the week 1T
will be busy one for the shows When
the current from the massive electric
plants was turned on, and mass of
brilliancy flashed to the eyes of hun
dreds of people that braved the elements
to see the opening, it was a revelation
to them.
The music of the bands and the mag
nificent harimOnans, caused all those
that wondered down the Pike to remem
Der boyhood's happy days and the skip
under the circus tent, for it is as big as
circus, and person can have more
real fun and amusement in one hour on
the Pike than he could in the same
space of time in any other place on this
earth and the funniest one of the bunch
is the "Katzenjamer Kastle" and we can
safely say that if you don't burst your
suspender buttons off here :'ith good
hearty laughter you had Uetcer 90 see a
doctor, for there is something wrong
with your funny parts. In the same
strain is the Electric theatre that is To-
Gated up near the postoffice. In here are
shown the latest creations of animated
pictures. The Train Wreckers are with
out doubt the most sensational and real
istic of all the pictures made in late
years, being made under the personal di-
rection and supervision of Mr.. Thos. A.
Edison. Then in there is shown the
greatest of laugh makers. The Dream
of A Rarebit Fiend, this one feature is
alone worth the price of admission that
is charged and we recommend this show
to the amusement lovers of this COM
munity. If a person was to hunt the
wide world over he could not find a
show that will equal in scenic beauty
and grandeur, Switzerland, in here the
master minds of the electrical world
have perfected show that will live long
in the memory of those that witness it,
showing as it does, the beautiful little
city lying at the base of Mt. Matter

the balloon ascension and parachute leap.

toll, the mill wheel and the battle of
