Silver Wedding,
Welcome All.
Lectured on Mormonism.

Mrs. Diefenderfer of Pennsylvania
spoke on the subject Of Mormonism at
the Presbyterian church on Sunday
evening. Mrs. Diefenderfer is field
agent Of the Presbyterian Home Mis-
sion Board, and Mormonism is one of
her best subjects. She has made a
special study of Mormon doings and
teachings and makes a specially strong
argument against this religious sect.
She told how the movement sTiginat-
ed, how it was carried to Ohio, then to
Illinois and Iowa, then westward
across the Rockies until now it holds
Utah firm in its grasp and has the bal
ance of power in several neighboring
states. The Christian people had made
and are making fight to have poly
gamy abolished, but it is a hard mat
ter when the politicians will do so much
to help further the cause.
She especially denounced the repub-
lican leaders for making an alliance
with the Mormons to carry the Nor
mon states for that party in exchange
for the seating of an apostle of the
church in the United States senate.
She asserted that polygamy was still
going on among the Mormons, contrary
to the laws of the government and that
it was spreading all over the states at
a rapid rate. She had found evidences
of it in our own state.

BUSINESS CHANGE.
DR.. Teal Sells His Livery Barn to
Moore Bros.

A deal was completed the past week
whereby Moore Bros. became the pro-
prietors of DR.. S. w. Teal's livery
barn and business. Moore Bros. were
given possession Tuesday morning.
This new barn they will use for their
livery business and will make the old
one sale and feed barn. The yards
in connection with the barns will be
used as heretofore for feed yards. An
auto livery will be run in connection
with the livery business.
The purchase of the Teal barn and
yard makes an excellent property for
Moore Bros. 1t gives them half
block, with the exception of one lot, of
one of the most valu BILE blocks in the
city. The newly acquired property
was built in 1906 and splendidly equip
ped in every way. We doubt if there
is as good a livery barn in this part Of
the state.
DR.. Teal will devote his entire time
to the practice Of :,is profession. So
large a business does he have, in the
veterinary line that it took him away
from the barn a great deal Of the time,
and he could not properly attend to
both, hence the change.

ANOTHER MOTHER
AT LUDDEN CALLED
Mrs. G. M. Taylor Answers the
Death Summons After
Long Illness
Funeral Held Tuesday After.
noon Attended by Many
Sorrowing Friends

Mrs. George M. Taylor was called to
her heavenly home on Monday after
noon April 10Th at Ludden, after a
long illness from a complication of
diseases. Mrs. Taylor was born Dec.
lS, 1868, at Baraboo, Wis, and came
to South Dakota in her early woman
hood, where she was united in marriage
to George M. Taylor in 1878 at Sioux
Falls.
They have long been residents of
Dickey county owning fine farm
three miles southeast of Ludden. Two
years ago, owing to her i'll health Mr..
Taylor rented his farm to his son
Marion and moved to Ludden where he
built cosy little home. which has been
saddened by Mrs. Taylor's long sick
ness.
Deceased was the mother of four
children, three of whom, two sons,
Henry S. and Marion and little Genie
are left to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Taylor was of a quiet. unassum-
ing nature, devoted to her home and
children.
Owing to her feeble health she was
not able to mingle much in social or
religious circles, but was loved and
honored by those who knew her for her
many noble qualities of heart and
mind.
She was given the tenderest care of
loving husband and the softest touch
of her little daughters hand was ever
ready to soothe her suffering. Her
eyes closed in peaceful sleep and this
gentle woman passed from earth to
that Great Beyond.
In their hour of affliction the be-
reaved husband and relatives have the
profoundest sympathy of the entire COM
munity.
Funeral services were held at the
church at three Tuesday afternoon
being ably conducted by Rev. Dyer,
who spoke words of comfort and cheer
to the sorrowing ones. Interment in
the Ludden cemetery.

Their Silver Wedding

The little village of Crete was at it's

known and respected citizens of that
neighborhood. People had come from
all around to the number of two hum
dred or more, and all bearing testi-
mony of good will in the shape of
silverware or something rs equally
appropriate.
The Bruins home was open to all
and the town hall was engaged for the
dancers. Both places were decorated,
and at the home in large letters ap-
peared the words,
Silver Wedding,
Welcome All.
Longbolla's Orchestra furnished the
music for the dancers at the hall, and
splendid banquet was served to all
and eating was the order all the time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bruins were happy as
any young bride and groom need be.
The bride of twenty-five years ago
wore wreath of silver on her head
and the groom had one on his coat.
Those who attended from Oakes say
it was one of the best times they ever
had. The doings lasted all night.
The Bruins are great entertainers.

Blue Rock Season Open.

The Gun Club had another enthus-
iastic meeting Monday evening. Presi-
dent Malander in the chair. There is
more interest than ever before and
there will be fifty members by May 1st,
thirty two at present.
July 1st and End were selected as the
dates for the annual tournament.
There are many shoots advertised for
this summer and these dates seemed to
fit in best with those of surrounding
clubs. Everything possible will be
done to make this big, attractive and
successful shoot. The committee was
instructed to order a Leggett trap
which means new era in local trap
shooting. Friday evening was selected
as the time for the regular weekly
shoots and the present site was rerented
for the season. The secretary was in
structed to buy a score book and a
minute book. The common and appro-
pirate custom of a badge for the weekly
winner and trophies for the high season
averages in the veteran and novice
classes were discussed and the follow
ing resolution adopted, to which the
attention of "Mr. Clever Advertiser"
is respectfully called with the sugges-
ton to do it now before the fellow does.
Resolved That to lend interest and
incentive to the meets of the club it is
desirable to have a badge for the win
ner Of the weekly shoots to remain in
his possession until the next regular
shoot, also trophies to 90 to the high
season averages in the veteran and
novice classes. Such badges and
trophies to be contested for by club
members only and under such regula-
tions as the executive committee shall
make. Therefore, an invitation is
extended to firms and individuals of the
city to offer such badges or trophies,
each to be known by the name Of the
firm or person offering it.
Particulars on application to any
official of the club.
The club adjourned to meet the first
Wednesday evening in May.

DOROTHY DIX ON
WOMEN AND PROHIBITION

In a recent article Dorothy Dix,
the famous writer, says:
you never hear of a body of wo-
men organizing to suppress gossip,
or prohibit extravaganza? yet wo-
mems tongues, and women's vanity,
have done as much harm in the world
as has ever been done by the De-
mon Rum.
Undoubtedly there are plenty of
husbands who spend the money that
should go to their families on sprees
and treating barroom loafers, but it
is equally true that there are plenty
of women who work good, faithful,
loyal husbands to death to pay for
French gowns and imported hats.
''In the wrecks of families, it is
the wife's mania for dress, just as
often as the husbands thirst, that
is responsible for the catastrophe.
women are largely responsible for
the prohibition wave that is sweep
ing over the country. If men would
organize an Anti-Fashion Crusade to
euro the extravaganza of women, and
force them to dress more simply, we
should have some reforms that re-
form"
