Oshkosh

Oshkosh Daily Chronicles: John j..
Stevenson of the Villa nson- -Libbey
Lumber company, who has been
prominent in business and social cir
cles in this city for several years, and
who enjoys an acquaintance as great,
if not more extensive, than any other
business man in the city, has rendered
his resignation as secretary OF the
Williamson & Libbey Lumber com
pany, and the resignation has been
accepted. Mr.. Stevenson will leave
the city about March l, it is said, and
will devote his entire time in the fu-
ture to his business interests at Mich
igan City, Ind, which recently has
grown to proportions which make it
impossible for him to remain with the
local concern.
Mr.. Stevenson, besides being secre-
tary of the Williamson-Libbey Lum-
ber company, is vice president of tbs
Oshkosh Savings & Trust company
and has been an alderman from the
seventh ward for a number OF years.
He has been prominent in racing Cir
cles from an amateur standpoint. for
the sports sake, and is now secretary
of the Oshkosh Driving club.
While his connection has been sey-
cred with the Williamson-Libbey
company, Mr.. Stevenson will contin-
ue to act as alderman from the Sew
enth ward for the present, according
to statements made to close personal
friends. In the event of his leaving
the city definitely, when he will no
doubt resign, he will hand in his res
ignition to the city clerk and his sue
cessor will be elected by the council.
The business interests which call
Mr.. Stevenson to Michigan City are
the control of large sash, door and
blind factory, which will be under his
direct supervision and occupy all of
his time.
Mr.. Stevenson has been fairl
minded, conservative business man. a
staunch friend and a good enemy, a
man who has had the courage of his
convictions and never curried favor
in one respect or another. He has
been business associate that busi-
ness men have had pleasure in, deal
ing with, member of local fraternal
organizations that Arother members
have delighted to know and honor, q
strict example of business integrity
and sterling manhood, and Oshkosh
people generally will be sorry to
hear of his intention to leave the city

MISSIONARY CONVENTION
OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church to he held at Huron,
March 2S-3O. 1906.

The Methodists of South Dakota
are planning for a great missionary
convention to be held in Huron,
March $3.50. It is expected to bring
together the largest religious gather
ing in the history of the state. The
convention is under the direct man
agement of the Open Door Commits
sion of the Missionary Society of the
Methodist Episcopal church Rev. J :.
B. Trimble, D. D., field secretary of
the missionary society, will have
barge of the program.
1t is expected to bring together the
presiding elders, pastors, Sunday
school superintendents, representa-
tives of young peoples societies,
members of the Women's Foreign
Missionary societies and leading lay
men to consider some of the problems
fundamental to the work of evangeli-
zation in the home and foreign field,
and also for prayer, fellowship and
discussion of methods and best helps
available for promoting intelligent
missionary enthusiasm among the
churches.
The program has never been equal
ed in this section by any similar con-
vention. 1t has been regarded suffi
cient to secure the attendan of one
or two returned missionaries, at home
on furlough for meetings of this char
acter, but it is expected to have a
representative from every great field
of missionary activity to depict the
condition and opportunities open tC
the church in these lands.
The following named mission aries
home on furlough, will participate in
the convention: DR.. f. Fl. Wright, OF
Italy: the Rev. w. G. Swearer, o1
Korea: Samuel Gurney, M. D., ot
Africa, the Rev. d. S. Spenser, OF
Japan: the Rey. Don w. Nichols, OF
China: DR.. II. L. E. Leuring, OF
Maylasia: r. c.. Beebe, M. D., OF
China: the Rev. J. L. Mclaughlin, OF
Philippines: Mrs. F. D. Gamewell, Of
| China. and the Rev. Robert Ward, o1
India.
The distinguished bishop, E. G.
Andrews. of New York City; the
great Chautauqua leader, Bishop
John H. Vincent, of Indianapolis
Bishop William F. Mcdowell. OF
Chicago. are expected, with a number
of leading ministers and educators
from different parts of the country tC
be in attendance and take prominent
part in the convention. No less than
thirty to forty addresses of pre-cmi.
nent character will be given and
every phase of the missionary prob
lem discussed.
The missionary exhibit, setting
forth the work carried on under the
direction of the church in every land,
will of itself justify trip to Huron
to avail oneself of the educationa
advantages to be derived therefrom'
Doubtless many of the other church
es will av all themselves of the oppor
tunity to hear the able men on the
program and enjoy the inspiration OF
the convention.

LitchHeld News Ledger. Feb. 22nd.
In the presence of many guests as.
sembled at Trinity church last even.
ing. the marriage vows of Miss Violet
Dickson and Mr.. Ellery D. Mooar were
spoken. Green and white were the
cOlOrs used in decorations and they
made simple but effective setting for
the charming picture the bridal party

Mendelssohn wedding march announc.
ed the approach of the bride. ''Trau.
merel" was softly played during the

ner of St. Paul. Miss Mary Strobeck
and Miss Portia JOubert. They wore
dainty white gowns and held arm
bouquets of pink carnations and as
paragus fern. The maid of honor,
Miss Vera Revell was in white Per
sian lawn and carried white carna-
tions. Dorothy and Kathleen Stro-
beck, little neices of the bride, were
her flower girls and looked very
sweet as they came down the aisle in
their pretty white gowns. Each car
ried stem of beautiful white lilies.
The bride entered alone. She was
elegantly gowned in white crepe de
china over silk, with an exquisite
bertha of Limerick lace on the bodice,

place and her flowers were a shower
bouquet of brides roses, lilies of the

-
Brooks paper, "Why not have q
Congressman from Grant coun.
ty? II a Congressman is good
thing for Aberdeen, why not
have q Congressman from Mil.
bank? Would it not be for the
best interests of Grant county
to send q Congressman from the
city of Milbank?"
For the simple reason that
while it might be q good thing
to have the next president of the
United States come from Mil
bank it is not more impossible
than the proposition which Mr..
Bentley puts forth, and Mr..
Bentley knows this as we'll as he
knows anything. The people of
South Dakota demand something
of ability and character in their
congressional representatives.
Even should the insurgent fac
ton win in the contest for dele.
gates to the convention, it is
we'll unders TODD that Senator
CANDLES friends will demand
that one of the congressman
shall come from the Black Hills,
and even Mr.. Bentley's egotism
is hardly sufficiently developed
to make himself believe that the
whole state of South Dakota
east of the Missouri river would
be fittingly and properly repre-
sented in the lower house of con-
gress by his personality. Even
admitting the possibility of in
surgent success in controlling
the convention, the members of
the convention and controlling
forces would seek to secure
something of ability and char
acter in their nominees, and the
attempt to secure his nomina
tion would result as did the ju-
dicial convention in Webster, a
few years ago, when he was per-
mitted to secure a delegation
from this county, and when any
candidate from this or Roberts
county with reasonable Qualiti-
cations could have secured the
nomination. In fact after a
Roberts county man had declin.
ed the nomination both the dele.
cations from Day and Roberts
counties refused to support Mr. :.
ntley, although in these two
counties he was nearly as well
known as he is in his own coun-
ty. Mr.. Bentley, the candidate,
has given the people of the coun-
ty a picture of Mr.. Bentley the
Office holder, as states attorney
for the past year. and they have
had enough. Like the landlords
of Ireland he has been an absen-
tee from his estate, returning
only in time to collect the rents.
Now, Mr.. Bentley knows that his
nomination is an impossibility.
under any circumstances. But
posing as a candidate for con.
gress tickles his vanity, is a
cheap way of advertising, and
always holds out the hope that he
may become a political BOSS even
of a small faction of the party.
This is what he enjoys.

ATTORNEY Bentley in his
newspaper last week is very en-
phatic in his enunciation of the
fact that he is opposed to the or
ganization machine and is with
the Crawford machine. This is
encouraging, as two years ago
Mr.. Bentley didn't know which
machine he was with, or rather
he was with both machines until
after the convention was held
For instance, while Mr.. Bentley
was posing as anti-administra-
ton and was very loud in de-
nounciation of railroad corpora
tions, when it became apparent
that Crawford was not going to
be in it q little bit at the conven-
ton, Mr.. Bentley went down to
Minneapolis, and was interview.
ed by E. G. Torrey, who writes
the South Dakota political news
in the Minneapolis Journal, and
here is the result of that inter
view:
''L.. II. Bentley of Milbank.
who will head one of the delega-
tions from Grant county, says he
is with the administration and
that Crawford will have no support
from the county, no matter how
the cat jumps. If necessary, Mr..
Bentley will take his fight to the
floor Of the convention. It is pre-
dicted that II he loses Grant coun-
ty will have another strenuous
season when the second conven-
tion is held for the nomination of
county officers"
OF course, when Mr.. Bentley
returned home some of the
Crawford men demanded to
know what it meant, and Mr..
Bentley attempted in weak way
to aeny the story. but it was
we'll known at the time that our
candidate was trying to ride two
ways ct one time. We are
pleased 70 know that. Mr.. Bent
ley has Learned thst it is only
safe to ride ono mule at . time.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader:
livery republican in the state is
ge4ting down TO the firing line in
1he battle which is waging for
~ control Of the next state con-
vention which meets in Sioux
rklls in June. There seems to
- no doubt about the outcome,
nreports which are received by
IL Argus Leader are to be
trusted, but the state organiza-
t5on which is being attacked be-.
0suse it is an organization pro-
poses to take nothing for grant
q and to leave no stone unturn.
q to secure q very heavy major
ity Of the coming convention.
There is no need to Try to dis.
&uise the real nature of the fight
Is is not q contest for good gov.
eminent. Even MIR. Crawford
has not sought to put such an
issue into the fight, except by in
direction. There has been no
graft in state affairs. The state
olicials have been competent
and faithful. No money has
boen either stolen, or wasted.
Under the generalship of the
stalwart organization, the repub-
hcan plurality has incr eased
from nothing to $4,000. The re-
publicans Of the state are now
asked to rebuke that organiza
tion, to repudiate it's work, and
70 turn the generalshlp of the
party over to crowd of men
who have already parcelled out
the Offices among themselves,
Who have adopted a platform to
which every republican must
subscribe, and who are insisting
that in the party caucuses, any
body who wants to shall be al
lowed to vote.
Back of it all is the sinister
and shadowy figure Of ex-Sena-
tor Pettigrew whose Grass meth
DDS as q boss drove thousands
Of republicans out of the party,
who finally completed his work
by leaving the party himself.
and who for the past nine years
has worked necessarily for it's
destruction. Mr.. Pettigrew is
undeniably working hand-in-
glove with the insurgent ma
chine, and the newspaper which
he entirely controls, and which
il edited by his former private
secretary is the loudest and
the most insistent in it's praises
Of the insurgent cause. It is a
very plain and clear challenge
q the stalwart republicans of
the state. It is not question
Of good government, for no
charge of mis- government or
dishonesty has been brought
1t is not q question of machine
rule for the insurgents already
have q machine, and n1mber
Of the men who are prominent
n it have been until recently
mem bers of the old organization.
It is simply question of the
men who can best be trusted to
III the offices in the gift of the
people and general the affairs of
the party. This should simplify
matters greatly, and make it
very easy for the average repub-
lican voter to reach his conclu-
sion.
