WINIFRED GREEN
 THE WHOLE SHOW

Chas. II. Yale's everlasting Devils sized audiences at the Elks theatre Saturday afternoon and night. The show is the same as has been seen in former years and the same attract i've scenic effects and while the cast was not as strong as that of last sea son. it does it's work very creditably. There is a new star in the production this year, however, who is destined to become one of considerable repu- tatlon within the next few years, if some wise manager of musical com edy knows a good thing when he sees it. Miss Winifred Green. who will be remembered as the same little lady who appeared here with the Al- len Curtis Musical comedy at Forest Park some years ago, as Janet, a milk maid, startled Pine Bluffians yester- day with some of the cleverest work seen on the local stage for some months. She can dance and sing and act all at the same time and her work was most entertaining. She has improved wonderfully in few years and few of her old friends recognized her when she came forward last night. The company worked under difficult tier here. several of the members of the cast being ill

On his arrival here MT. Smith found only four stores Of any note. They were owned by x II. Fish. Boyd, Mandle and Mrs. Me-
 Dermit. Resides the stores there
 were several cake shops and one s.
 loon. one bowling alley. and one iiide tar and shinels house. Bnt the most | important of all was tAe little water
 mill operated by the Bradford family.
 and at ttiS mill lumber was sawed
 and meal was ground for the few in
 habitants.
 In 1851 Sheriff John Iiammett re-
 signed his office on account Of the
 people refusing to pay him i.cait
 Clerk John Dei5en was q cripple and

 drug store go up and it was operated
 by pr. Me Almont. The leading pay

 store Pine Bluff was then very un-
 healthy on account of the lake ill the
 eastern part of the village where
 Third and Fourth avenues are at
 present and a large lake in the south-
 ern part of the village, known as Har-
 din Lake, and which covered >Ae land that now comprises Lakeside. liar , din Lake was a rather large lake and could be crossed only at two ponts, [ at the east end and at the west ends of the village
 Pine Bluff like other towns in those
 days, was troubled with Indians. The
 Indian town. known as Frenchtown,
 was located east of where the Cotton Belt shops are at present, Pine Rluf- fans had great trouble with .hc red skins, who were continually at war with the residents of the town. Tho } first funeral held in BellWood ce,Gc- tery occurred after MT. Smith had moved here and he himself purchased
 the second lot that was sold in the then new cemetery. The old ,ematery
 or burying ground was on Brewstef's block which was at that time whero Mullikin s and Alexander Bros. stores l are now located In these days Pine Bluff seemed to be more raligloaS f than otherwise as there were two = churches. the Catholic and Methodist, e and only one saloon.

An SS,0oO cash bonus was also given the promo ters. who have been instructed @ draw on a Hagen bank for the amount when construction work begins
 The extension from Pine Bluff ID Hazen'' said Judge Screeton, will be about 90 miles. The road will ran through the richest agricultural and timber section in the state and there is no estimating the great results tha; will be obtained by the road and prop erty owners along it's route. The rice industry is now enjoying most r"p.! development in our section and it can not be toretod what great possi ,i.: ties are in store for investors and r,ce growers there Ten miles of the road will run through rice country, 'en miles through hard wood timber lau6s and twenty-five miles through as fire cotton country as can be found on the face of the earth.
 The rice lands are increasing ill valuation in our neighbOrhood at the rate of 50 cents day per acre. Land is being bought in large tracts daily and when we came through the coun- try yesterday we Were startled to find on every side preparations being made for rice culture next year. At Fairmont, a town eleven miles south of Hazen which is on the route of the proposed railroad seven thousand acres of rice lands are to be eulti vated next year and rice growers are already on plantations making ar engagements for next years crop. In our township alone, right around 1a- zen. five thousand acres of land has been converted into rice farms.
 Rice culture is no longer an expe- riment in our country. Planters
 made fine crops this year and are doubling their crops for the com:n $ season. Additional facilities for IT. rigation are being established an,, |; large canal is being planned fICal White river for that purpose. t would be an impossbility to estiria1r l the number of new acres that &r" 1 to be opened for rice culture the l coming year Thousansd and thou l sands of acres are being planted i, | rice and several rice mills are to be established.

GOD SAYS NOW
 DEVIL SAYS WAIT Rev. Nowlin, Evangelist De clares That Man Should
 Not Hesitate
WHEN RELIGION CALLS
Special Baraca Service This Mornin" at the First Baptist
 Church.

The best service of the revival meeting at the First Baptist Church was oh Saturday night when great in terest was manifested, which resulted in ) additions to the church and l1 professions of faith. Dr. NoWland's subject was The Holy Spirits Ad- monition The time to act is today he said To-day the Holy Spirit urges the lost soul to accept 1es;s Christ because he knows how unce"- tain thing is tomorrow. That f-you be any better with you. You are just as much lost. He knows that every time you delay your opportuni- ties are diminished. The Holy Spirit urges you to act today because he knows that you must be saved today if vou are ever saved at all. Just as long as you are going 10 be saved, YOU are lost Just as long as you are going to do thing, the thing is Hn- done. The Holy Spirit urges you to actbecanse he knows the Devil is urging you to delay. God says To day The Devil says Delay. God says @Now. The Devil says To- lnorrow.' The Devil knows that if be can get you to delay, the chances of your salvation are fewer. and that is +1i, urine of pr6crastinat on. Satan would have never believed there is God and there is a Devil, d Heaven and a Hell. but his argument is to put it off until tomorrow.
 The condition upon which the Holy Spirit urges you to act is if you hear his voice. No man can come tG God without being drawn by the Holy Spirit Men can rebel against Goo and refuse to hear him. Did you ever hear men complain that the Gospe had lost it's power. The change is mol in the Gospel, but in men. There neyc was time in history when men were preaching the Gospel with greater power and earnestness than today Men have closed their hearts, ant deafened their ears and blinded the'] eyes, and the Gospel does not appea to them The last ttme comes to heal the voice of Cod the last time comes to the house of God. the last time comes for everything. Men can go or in their sins and harden their hears against God. until they become msen- sible to the voice of God. If we shu the only door of hope that is open tt us God is not to blame if we are nev- CT saved
 It is urgently requested that every Baraca in Pine Bluff be present this morning, as pr. Nowlin will hold { spec al Baraca service. There will bt special service for women and girls at 3 o'clock this afternoon. His sub iect at II clock will be John 3:16 and tonight at 80 Sin Self Retribu tive

DITCH PROJECT
GOES TO COURT;
Big FORFEITURE
Contract Price Cut $25 for
Every Day Of Delay in
. Completing Work.

Vermillion, s. D., April 21.-When the
Pollard Campbell company, of Omaha,
contracted with Yankton and Clay
counties to construct the Clay creek
drainage canal, II was agreed that the
canal should be finished by April 1, 1903.
At a meeting of the Clay and Yankton
county commissioners last week, the
company asked for an extension of time
In which to finish digging the canal.
The commissioners refused to grant
this request and demanded that the
company fulfill their part of the con-
tract to the letter, which means that
for every day that goes over April i,
the dredging company should pay the
counties SIS a day until the work Is
completed, From this date 1t Is esti-
mated that 1t will require at least 30
more DAYS to finish the big job.
The Pollard Campbell company will
AXE the matter into the courts on the
strength OF two clauses in the contract
one in regard to strikes and the other
for three weeks there wasn't water
enough to float the big dredges and also
that work was suspended on account of
/ strike in eastern machine shops where
some repairs had to be secured. Engf-
heer A. b. McDaniels, of h university
here, who has been in the employ OF
the counties aver since operations be-
gan, has stated that the delay caused
by the lack of waite was not more than
a week, and besides this statement Ii
will be up to the company to prove that
the strikes mentioned really occurred
and affected their work. If the coun-
ties win out 1t will mean about 81, 500

.H. Of Wiley.

Washington, ID. c., April 20.-That
the referee board OF the department of
agriculture, ordered to investigate the
wholesomeness or the Righteousness
of foods and articles used in foods, is
a legally constructed body and that
Secretary Wilson had ample authority
to appoint the board, Is the decision OF
Attorney General, Wickersham.
The decision means that the work of
the referee board o. the wholesome
ness OF sulphur, saccharine and cop
per salts will be constitutional.
Secretary Wilson referred the ques-
ton of the legal status Of the board
to the attorney general, 1t having been
claimed that the action of the former
In appointing such a board was without
authority Of law, because the duty of
examining foods was vested by con-
gress In the bureau of chemistry of the
department OF agriculture.
