-oMMoDIDI1Y RATES BETTER
The New Commodity Tariff Has Been
Received and Shows a Mater
iai Reduction.


Agent George of the Milwaukee
company has just received the new
commodity tariff rates which have
been revised by the freight depart
ment of the company. These new
rates show that the tariff on several
commodities has been made more
elastic on several articles for which
Commissioned Ness and the CONNER
cial Club have been contending. These
rates cover nails and fence wire, as
two principal things, either on
straight or mixed carload lots, at a
rate of 33 1-3 cents, which were for
merly 81 cents. 1t is an appreciable
reduction on commodities which are
used to very great extent.
The Commercial Club and Commis-
sioner Ness feel quite jubilant over
this further recognition of the things
for which they have been contending.
1t is very much as Mr.. Ness said in
his adress at the Boosters Ban
quet" that all the good things do not
come at once and that it takes some
time to work out the problems which
are confronting Mitchell as whole
sale center, but they are coming In
a very satisfactory way at the present
time.

OF THE SENIORS
They Met With the College Christian
Associations in Joint Meet
ing Sunday.

One of the most touching and in
spring meetings was the farewell
meet of the Seniors at the Joint
meeting of the two Christian Asso-
Citations, in the college chapel Sunday
afternoon. The subject discussed
was, What the Christian Associa-
tions have meant to my College life. :"
Miss Vina Baker, former. president
of the Y. w. c. A., led the meeting
and nearly all the Seniors took part.
The impression of that meeting will
long be left with the students who
Will remain as they told of the promi-
nent part the Christian Associations
have had in the forming of their
characters. Those who are Volun-
teers to Foreign lands told of the
part 1T had played in the forming of
their future career and of the inspira-
tlon they had received in the Volun-
teer meetings where they had assem-
bled each week to talk over the situa-
ton in other lands Others who had
worked in various departments told
with touching effect how it had given
their lifes direction and caused them
to stand out in definite way for
Christ. Still others who had not
taken prominent part in the work
told of how they had seen the Chris
tian life eXemplified in their class
mates as they had watched them and
associated with them from day to
day; and they gave as their testimony
that every day Christianity among
their classmates had been one of the
dominant influences in their deciding
to become Christians. The Senior
class is an exceptionally strong one in
this direction, a large majority of the
members going out for Christian
work and over a third of them ex-
pect to go to the Foreign fields. The
meeting Sunday afternoon was one
OF the best meetings Of the year, and
its influence on the student body will
be Of lasting effect

GOOD PROGRESS IN WORK
Miss Myrtle Lees Talent Ha Been
Recognized to High De-
gree Over in Berlin.

Some very good information has
been received in this city by ARs. I.
w. Seaman concerning the work OF
her sister, Miss Myrtle Lee, who is
studying voice culture in Berlin,
Germany, where she went last Sep
tember to put in a year, but which
she has decided to extend into two
years of study.
A very high honor has just been
accorded Miss Lee in that she has
been selected from 1896 students
from all parts Of the world to appear
as one Of the soloists in Beethoven
hall, Berlin, in the closing exercises
of commencement week of the Stern
Conservatory of Music, in concert
of which character only 81 stxaents
have appeared during the past year.
The concert in which Miss Lee ap-
pears takes place this evening in Ber-
lin, in which she will apear in three
solo numbers, one English song and
two German songs. AS a general
rule it is necessary for the students
to pass test in minor capacity BY
singing in the concert hall in the con.
servatory before they are permitted
to appear at Beethoven hall. Miss
Lee was tested by the professor and
after it was over he gave his unquali-
Ted consent for Miss Lee to appear
IN the commencement concert with
out being required to appear h .tha
minor concerts, trusting her COM
pletely to fill the difficult role sue
cessfully This action can be consid-
cred as real tribute to her ability
and talent. The commencement con-
cert is given for the purpose Of in
viting people from all parts of the
empire to hear the product of the
conservatory and naturally the very
best talent is placed on the program.
Miss Lee and her niece, Miss La
throp, will remain in Germany an
other year and during the summer
vacation she will devote her time to
the more thorough study of the Ger
man language. Her many friends in
Mitchell will be glad indeed to learn
OF the splendid progress that she
mas made in that country, and they
Will be anxious for her return To hear
her on the concert platform.

eLocuTIoN AND MUSIC
Graduating Recital in Two Depart
ments Was Held Saturday
Night ut City Hall.

The opening feature of the COM
moncement exercises of Dakota Wes-
leyan University occurred Saturday
evening at the city hall when the
graduating recital in elocution and
music was given, Miss Berna Gull
stine and Ernest Just being repre-
sented nj the former and Miss Remp-
fer in the latter class. There was a
large audience of friends present
when the program began and they
We're richly entertained with elocu-
tion and music. The invocation was
given by Prof John l.. Seaton.
Miss Rempfer, the contralto SOLO
list, began the program with 'Blow,
Blow, Thou Winter Wind, by Sar-
ieant, which was admirably fitted for
Net voice. She also sang "Am Meer, {"
b. Schubert, "Chant Hindou," by
.amberg and "'Elizabeth's Prayer"
rom Tannhauser, all of which show
ed a wide range of work. In the
Chant Hindou Miss Rempfer was
herad at the best, the quality of
tone being rich and strong. In all
the numbers Miss Rempfer sang with
splendid effect and each one was most
thoroughly enjoyed. Her progress in
voice culture has been marked in the
past few years and she undoubtedly
will rise to greater heights. She
sings with much feeling and express
sion and her talent is quite marked.
Miss Cuisine was heard twice on
the program, first in "The Lane That
Had no Turning" and the last in
What William Henry Did" Both
selections are directly opposite in
character and showed quite a versa
tility on her part. Her first selec-
tion was of grave character that she
presented very nicely, carrying the
dramatic idea we'll. Her second was
of a humorous nature and in it Miss
Cuisine was equally at home. She
has good appearance on the plat
form and made fine impression.
At the conclusion of her first number
she was presented with bouquet of
flowers.
MIR Ernest Just gave two numbers
in elocution, "The Hazing Of Val
iant,' being the recital of college
prank that was we'll given and the
second was one of much more dig
nified character, that indicated fine
talent in the effort of the young gen
tleman. 1t was Gentleman, the
King" Mr.. Just's conception and
portrayal Of the interesting piece is
to be highly commended. He has an
easy presence on the platform and a
voice that we'll is we'll adjusted to
elocution work, the combination Of
which form the foundation for good
work Of this character.
Miss Stansell, who presides over
tie elocution department, has had
fne success this year with her stud
onts, and these two are good expon-
cnts of the art.

DIR. Lconard's Annual Sermon.

In the evening the annual sermon
was delivered by DR.. II. G.. Leonard,
pastor of the First Methodist Episco-
pal church, of Fargo, N. d. The de-
votional exercises were conducted by
DR.. Wilkinson and Rev. g. F. Hop
kins, district superintendent, of Aber-
deem
DR.. Leonard selected his text from
Roms IS 12:17, Provide things hon
est in sielit CT all men" He said that
there was another meaning to the
text which reads something like this,
Thinking out beforehand beautiful
things in the judgment of all men,"
From the latter Interpretation of the
text DR.. Leonard presented some
gems of thought, in analyzing the
different words as they could be ap-
piled. He said that people must think
on matters religious, must think Of
what is before them. He expressed
sorrow for the people who thought so
little beforehand, and if this were
changed how much sorrow and trou-
bic could be averted. How much after
thought there is in the world 1t was
an easy matter, he said, to think of
thing after it is done and because
if this thoughtlessness much of our
sorrow and woe comes. He urged the
thinking out of beautiful .hings, and
the man who does this can te appeal
ed to as rightminded individual,
and can be judged with truthfulness.
He declared that it was not possible
for one to live life that will satisfy
every whim Of another person, but
one can earn the good will of the
rightminded' man. In closing DR..
Leonard gave number of strong IL
lustrations Of the efforts Of men who
have gone into the fields Of religious

labor and there sunk their identity to
WORK out the salvation of men, and
they have been accorded high credit
for their successful efforts. Men,
he said, needed program to follow
out their lives and they needed a
strong will to pursue it above all the
obstacles which they encounter on
their pathway.
DR.. Leonard's sermon was a splen-
did effort and at its close, after the
benediction by Rev. E. M. Jeffers,
many went forward to meet the gen
tleman.

TWO VERY STRONG SERMONS
DIR. Nicholson and DIR. Leonard We're
Heard in Very Impressive
Sermons ON Sunday.

Sunday was very interesting day
in the commencement exercises of
Dakota Wesleyan University, when
the baccalaureate sermon to the Sc
nior class, the members of which
wore their cap and grown and occu-
pied seats in the front portion of the
Methodist church. DR.. Wilkinson and
DR.. Weir assisted in the devotional
exercises of the morning.
DR.. Nicholson took his text from
Daniel 2:44 and discussed his theme
on "Christianity as the Final Re
ligion of Humanity" which lead up
to the question what shall be the
form of religion in the future and its
nationality. He believed in the idea
that Christianity is and will be the
universal form of religion for all time
to come. He referred to the fact that
Christianity had been questioned by
some as merely one of the systems,
that it would have it's day and eventu-
ally become one of the great historic
religions such as Confucianism and
others and then give way to some
thing else. The speaker held this to
be erroneous, for the very good rea-
son that Christianity was being con-
Quoted on vastly different basis
than any of the religions of bygone
days, and that it's gospel was being
spread over a greater territory and
with greater sincerity CT purpose than
ever before. He did not believe that
the people of today were building
magnificent churches, great college
buildings and making other solid
! investments for religion that are
only temporary. He felt that there
was too much self-sacrifce in the re-
| ligion of today for it to be subject to
the change and decay of other relig-
ions. DR.. Nicholson held that the
principles which governed Christian
| ity today are of broader character
than those introduced in any of the
other religions, and for that reason
| it can be applied to all the world as
it is being done today in nearly every
| foreign country The far-reaching
universally of the Christianity of to-
day was shown by DR.. Nicholson when
he presented some thoughts on the
recent meeting of the General Con
| ference at Baltimore, where he said
was gathered the missionaries from
every quarter of the globe, all of
] whom are engaged in religious work
that is meeting with wonderful sue
cess.
| In his closing remarks DR.. Nichol-
son spoke with special reference to
the young ladies and gentlemen of
the graduating class, and urged upon
them the necessity of choosing a re-
| ligious life for their pathway in the
future and following that closely he
declared there was no possibility for
them to fail. The president felt a
special interest in the class, for prac-
tically all of them have gone through
the institution since he has been at
the head of it, and he wanted to i'm
press on their minds the great truths
which, if followed by them, would
bring a success in life that would not
be tainted of the world.

WHY COOKS ARE SCARCE.
They Can Make More Money Selling
WhiSkcy Than Working.

A prominent citizen Of Lancaster
says his cook, a colorod woman told
him that the reason why servants are
SO difficult to get is because negroes
are making more money selling
liquor than they can possibly earn
by working for the white people. The
Lancaster News says 'if there is any

commentary on the manner in which
our prohibition laws are being en-
forced. No liquor can be legally
