existed the Ladies Aid societ - been
great factor in all phi g of its
growth. The society e - I'd unor-
ganized for a number q ears pre-
vious to the building = the first

Mrs. c. G. Leyse, Mrs. p. c. Johnson,
Mrs. Geo. G. Rude, Mrs. Simon John
son, Mrs. julius Hamre, Mrs. o. Jerm-
stad, Mrs. H. H. Korstad. AS means
of gathering money for the church
they started what they called a 'ten
cent book" each member paying ten
cents a week, and as they had no
meetings one of the ladies would go
around each week and collect the mon.
ey. In March, 1887 the present society
was organized, the meeting being held
at the home of Mrs. Bertha Peterson
mother of p. o. Peterson. The men,
bers of the organization were: Mrs

officers were, Mrs. Leyse, president and
Mrs. Henry Qualey secretary. The
same fall the society purchased the
first organ for the church. and 1898,
in connection with the yound ladies'
society they bought the church bell.
Mrs. C. G. Leyse organized the first
Sunday school, which was a private
school, and it was taken in charge by
the church when the organization was
effected. Geo. G.. Rude had charge

years.
Rev. NJ Borge was pastor of the

Rev. S. o. Rondestvedt took charge in
February, 1889 and was here until the
fall of 1893 Rev. G. o. Skaret came in

1899 Rev. F. c. Norman was in
charge from 1899 until the spring of
1904. In July, 1904, Rev. JOS. NJ
Green, the present pastor, took charge
and under his efficient pastorate the
church has grown and prospered un-
til today it is one of the strongest in

p. o. SITE INSPECTOR HERE.

Major Fred Bracket, inspector Of
postoffice sites for the United States
Treasury Department, spent Thursday
in Brookings looking over the proper
ties which have been offered to the
government for the postoffice site. He
was of the opinion that all of the bids
were too high, with the possible ex-
ception of the Schaphorst corner
north of the Leon, but expressed no
preference and it will probably be
some days before his decision is
known. We do not think that the
prices asked for the different proper
ties were too high. and Mr.. Bracket
probably underestimates the value of
the corners, all of which are located
In or adjacent to the main business
section of the city. The people of the
city are favorable to either the old
NJ. f. church corner or the DR.. Collier
propc ty, both Of which would make
ideal locations, and we understand
that the property owners on the north
end OF Main street have raised a thou
sand dollars to contribute as a re-
daction on the price of the latter cor.
ner. Major Bracket went from here
to Huron Thursday evening and from
there to- Rapid City, Congress having
appropriated money for government
building sites at both places.

He IS INCONSISTENT
Hurry Fears tuberculosis, But
Recommends Afflicted
Hack Driver.
WOULD ABOLISH HACKS.

That state officials may be incon-
sistent, or else render so many opin-
ions that some given in the past are
forgotten, is the opinion of some
Wayne county officials in regard to
DR.. J. N. Hurry, secretary of the state
board of health. DR.. Hurry is believ-
ed locally be a competent state Off
Ger and one imbued with a conscien-
tious desire to do his best 1t is due
to this fact that the variance between
his statements in regard to the health
of school children, who ride in hacks
and those regarding a hack driver in
this county, is not understood.
DR.. Hurry was quoted Friday by the
Indianapolis newspapers as saying he
is opposed to the use OF hacks for car
rying children to school in the out
townships. He declared hacks are
unsanitary and that he hoped to see
the return of the old days, when all
children walked, as it makes healthy,
sturdy men and women to walk.
Letter Is Different
Quite a difference froh this opinion
was expressed by DR.. Hurry in a letter
to Charles Jordan, superintendent of
county schools recently. Supt Jordan
wrote DR.. Hurry and asked him if it
would be advisable to employ driv
er of a hack, who is afflicted with tu
berculosis. 1t was explained to the
secretary that the driver rides within
the hack with the children. This
was the answer: There is little or no
danger of driver imparting tubercu-
losis to the children. The employ
ment would help cure him, because it
Is outdoor work. If he Is not too
weak on account of the advance of the
disease, 1 would say permit him to con-
tinue. l will take the liberty of writ
ing to him and give him directions
necessary for his welfare and the pre-
vention of the spread of the Infection"
The question arising is, why would
it be unsanitary for children to ride in
hacks, and conducive to the health of
a consumptive to do SO? Supt. Jor-
dan does not see the application of the
statement to the letter.

House Insurgents Return Home
To Tell Constituents of
Their Deeds.
STIR UP MUCH TROUBLE
FEEL ASSURED THAT AT LEAST
ONE DAY IN THE WEEK WILL
BE SET ASIDE FOR CALL OF
COMMITTEES OF BILLS.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The insur-
gents against the present rules of the
house are leaving Washington for their
homes jubilant over the progress that
they have made In stirring up an in
surrection in the Republican ranks.
They will tell their constituents that
before the end of the session the rules
will be amended.
One of the insurgents expressed him
self today as certain that at least one
change will be made in the rules. He
said that he believed that there would
be no opposition to it at republican
caucus. That amendment would pro-
vide for day each week for the call
of committees of bills on the union
calendar and on the house calendar.
Some of the most optimistic assert
this is all that is necessary to get re-
lief from the present rules. A call of
the committees would enable the COM
the important bills of the various
kinds, it is argued, and would relieve
the speaker of liability to charges Of
preventing legislation which was de-
manded by the people. In SO much as
the house would have an opportunity
to pass on the bills in the course of a
short period, surely during session of
congress, the packing of committee
against bill would have no other eff
feet than the influence of the opinion
of Its members upon those who had not
investigated the subject thoroughly.
Depends on Minority.
1t is acknowledged by some of the
leaders of the insurgents that the only
hope of amending the rules lies in the
action of the minority. Ever since
congress convened, emissaries from the
insurgents have been in conference
with the democrats. The new minor
ity leader, Representative Champ
Clark, of Missouri, does not feel him
self bound in binding his party to any
program until he sees how the repub-
licans will line up. He objects to
forming an alliance with the insur-
gents which he fears may eventually
be broken when the majority of them
might recognize they are losing and
leave the democrats holding the bag
while the republicans would get all the
glory"
The minority Is willing to stand for
an amendment Of the rules, it is under
stood in accordance with the platform
of the Denver convention, but it would
like to get just as much credit as pos
sible for the reforms.
