CITY experienced a sensation.

Zion City experienced a sensation
al Sunday, the Zionites rising in vio-
lent rebellion against Voliva, the sue
cessor of the late Mr.. Dowie. There
is a probability that the general over
seer will be deposed and that might
have happened on Sunday had not
the police been called in to suppress
the riotous ones, says the Sioux Falls
Press. Deacon V. V. Barnes, once a
South Dakotan in good standing. led
the instruction and 800 followers raj
lied about him. Deacon Barnes may
yet become a prophet in his own right
and the head of the church of the
Zionists, being O a pretender to
the throne of Dowie. The deacon
was a good Congregationalist when
he lived in South Dakota and a fair
sort of a lawyer. Barnes, it will be
remembered, was a resident of DE-
Smet for some time and is well known
to old timers in this city and county
De Smet may yet attain distinction
as being the former home of a rein
c~arnation of the prophet of Elijah

the plan of his unlamented late graf

adopt for the purpose of fooling the
people.
VIM, Buchan, of Benton, Wis,
arrived the first of the week and is
visiting the T. |. and w. NJ. Robinson
families.
Dan Gavin, Of Bancroft, who
went out west of Pierre with the in
~tention of filing on a piece of govern
ment land and making it the family
home, is back again to stay. Dan
did not like that country as well as
his well improved farm in this county.
At Brookings Sunday last was
held a meeting of the agents and tele-
graphers of the Minnesota and Dako-
ia division of the G.. 81 NV. An
agents association was formed and AL
Stimson, of this city, was elected sec
rotary, The object of the association
is to get the men together and by
comparison of methods improve the
service, as well as to make it an out
ing for the men. There were over
ninety present. Special trains were
run from all directins SO that every
station man on the division was given
an opportunity to be present. Next
month the meeting will be held at
Pierre.
The cocoon contest is all over and
Helen Jackson won the prize of 81 90
which had beeu put up. 1t was a very
spirited contest from the start. Every
day the past week a number of small
boys and girls could be seen going
about looking up to the trees for CO.
coons. The contest closed Saturday
afternoon. Helen had forty-three
pounds, Russell Noggle being next
with thirty-seven pounds and a half.
Ice cream and cake will be served to
all the rest at somefuture date. About
$1,000 cocoons were bought and de-
stroyed. The Study club feel that
they were well repaid in the efforts
put forth to stop the ravages of this
insect Salem Special.
Some such contest would have been
a good thing for De Smet. By a lit
tie concerted action the large green
worm that destroys so many trees and
is such an unsightly object can be
put out of commission.

think so. Two of her children have

20 others will be allowed to pass after
writing a satisfactory examination on
single subjects. Those who failed in
two or three branches Will be given
an opportunity to take Another exam
~ination on those subjects some time
in August. The superintendent says
there are number of pupils who failed
at the recent examination who could
easily pass by a little study during
the coming two months.
The small boy about town has
been unusually industrious of late,
mostly caused by the fact that there
has been quite a de nand for old iron
and the aforesaid small boy has found
a chance to make a little spending
money by gathering in what he may
find laying around. Probably through
ignorance as to the value of some
things he runs across, he manages to
relieve, now and then, some man of a
piece of machinery which costs from
a few cents to several dollars to re-
place. We have heard several com
plants of this kind. The boys do
not intend any wrong but they should
be 0 careful of where and what
they pick up. Also the buyers of old
iron should use a little care in buying
from the boys.
The new artesian well was sunk
to the depth of 900 feet and cased up
but the flow secured is so small as to
be of no value whatever. The town
board has made arrangements with
Mr.. Potter, the contractor, to drill
deeper, with the hope of striking a
satisfactory flow further down and
work will soon be resumed. Mr.. Pot
ter has certainly played in continu-
Gus hard luck. He has worked faith.
fully and hard since the 4th day of
March, sinking two wells, and ever
with pay for one he will be out of his
pocket six or seven hundred dollors.
On the other hand, unless a good flow
is yet secured the town will be out
the contract price of the well and
have nothing to show for it. 1t is
hard luck story in which all of us are
principal actors. However, all part
les concerned have hopes of getting
a good flow by going down deeper

A message has just been delivered to the democracy that is worthy of the most careful consideration of the members of the party. The message Is from Senator Isidor Rayner, who represents Maryland in the United States senate. As Maryland is one of the states that it is necessary for the democrats to carry to win the next election. this message of advice from her most distinguished son on the course the party should pursue is the 1more worthy of attention. "Of course" said Senator Rsyner, we all appreciate the fact that when a new issue arises the democratic party must take it's stand upon one side or the other. and as new issues develop parties must enlarge and expand No one desires to restrict the democratic party either to a dead issue or simply to those that existed at the time of its formation Now. have we any principles7 I think we have. Has the republican party stolen them7 I aequit them of the charge. I think that they are entirely innocent. and I do not believe that they have any felonious intent or design whatever

After suggesting a plat form upon which all democrats could unite Senator Rayner closed by say ing: "If we advocate principles tha. are not democratic and be again de- fested at the polls. then it looks to me as If the hour of disi7tegrztIon

Canada leads the United States

Canada leads the United States in rifle work among civilians. It has 122 military rife associations and 459 civilian rife associations. The military associations have & member. ship of 1S,0Ss and the civilian 34.- 370. As Canada has less than one, tenth the population Of the United States, if the proportion were main- tained there would be 500,000 rifle- men in this country. In Canada each member of a civilian club draws 100 rounds of ammunition yearly and the government allots rifle to every four men. If no rifle range is avail
 able small cash allowance is made towards the expenses of the club. !

A young woman of Middletown, N.

A young woman of Middletown, N. Y., Miss Guinan, has just been awarded medal for heroism and with the distinction of having it presented with a letter from Presi- dent Roosevelt. She saved the life of MT Rynon. He was over seventy years old and very feeble when he attempted to cross the tracks in front of an approaching train, not observ- ing that a train was 4pidly ap- preaching on the other track from the opposite direction. He reached the central space between the two tracks before observing that the trains were approaching from both directions, and became greatly be- wildered at his apparent inability to go forward or back without danger of being run down. Miss Guinan, who was standing at the crossing, ob- served his perilious predicament and rushed to his aid. Not having time to push him of the tracks, she seized hold of him and held him firmly be- tween the two trains as they rushed by. For several moments the two were in this perilous position, a train rushing by at a high rare of spead on each side of them. When the east-bound train had passed they got to the sidewalk, the old gentleman being nearly unconscious from fright, while Miss Guinan was apparently undisturbed by her experience. A measurement taken subsequently, showed that there was but thirty-six inches of space in which to stand be- tween the swaying trains.
