CHURCH WAS DEDICATED
The New Congregational Edifice Was
Dedicated Sunday With Very
Impressive Exercises.

Sunday the hearts of the Congre-
~gationalists, the friends and support
ers of the church We're made glad
by the dedication of the beautiful
church, which has just beer complet-
ed. The members and supporters
can be justly proud of the edifice,
for it represents much sacrifice and
hard work on the part of those who
started the enterprise and saw it
through to a successful conclusion
and its dedication With all of the
Indebtedness provided for.
The church was started one year
ago last October, when the basement
was eXcavated, the foundation laid
and the basement wall was completed
The work rested until last spring
when it was renewed with the laying
of the pressed brick, beginning at
the basement. The cornerstone
which was presented by the Sunday
school, was laid in May, and the
work was hurried along for dedica-
ton date late in the fall. Delays in
the arrival of material set the dedi-
cation day farther along, but it was
finally accomplished Sunday in a
very gratifying way.
The church building is IS feet
long and 90 feet wide at it's widest
point allowing an entrance on the
east side. 1t stands near the corner
of Fourth Avenue east and Kimball
street, and when the old church
building is removed, which will be
done this summer, the church will
stand on a very slightly spot. The
building is of Gothic architectural
design, the plans being drawn by S.
G. Wherry, who was forced to give
up the work by reason of his illness,
and they were completed with a few

Wilson, Brookings.
Messrs. Erion and Wilson have
held their respective offices of presi-
dent and secretary for the past six
years, in fact since the association
was first organized. They have done
their work S o we'll that there does
not seem to be any disposition on the
part of the members to make =
change.
The question of insurance of the
stock pavilion come up to ascer-
tain who was going to pay the ac-
crued premium on the policies which
cover the building against loss by
fire. Up to the present time the
state has declined to pay the prem
1ums, for the reason that no approp-
ration was ever made to take care
OF this portion of the expense. After
a discussion II. r. Wickham suggest
ed that the entire matter be turned
over to p. W.. Peterson, a member
of the legislature, to look after and
try and secure an appropriation to
pay this expense, inasmuch as the
building is owned by the state. and
that it pays the premiums on all
other state buildings on which in
surance is carried.
The convention adjourned.
There was a m afloat during
the day hal the friends of Brook
ings would make an effort during
the evening session to change the
location of the meeting to that city
for next year. However, there was
nothing brought up in the meeting
to indicate that any such move was
on foot. AS soon as it was learned
that this move was started the
friends Of Mitchell started in to
check it, and it was evident that
there were sufficient Mitchell sup
porters in the room to defeat the
move.

Library Annual Report,

At the annual meeting Of the Wo-
mans Library Association held Tues
day afternoon, Miss Laurson; the
librarian, made the following re-
port of the year to the members:
During the year just ending the
library has made good progress. The
number of books added was 1862 max
ing a total of 3,477 volumes in the
library. This does not include the
800 Or more volumes CT government
publications.
THE circulation for the year was
14,051, which means that had all
books circulated equally each book
would have been read four times.
This is a good record.
"In almost all libraries we find
that story books circulate more free
ly than books Of non-fietion, and it
is true her tie percent of non-fic-
ton being %. This is a better show
ing t. an in the year 1907 when the
circulation of. non-fction was 10 per
cent of tie total.
During the last three months, re-
cords have been made of the var
ious classes of books read. History in
Guiding biography and travel, is most
popular. with an average circulation
a month of "a books. Literature
ONE next with average circulation
of SO books and Sociology third with
80 books a month
''The number of patrons registered
on Dec. 81, 1908. was 2701. Since
then we may say the number has
been increased to 1884,"

structed of granite and gives it a
strong and dignified appearance. The
superstructure is built of pressed
brick of a dark color, and with the
white stone trimmings from the
Black Hills country gives the churcl
building a very fine tone in colcr
and design. AT the northwest cornlr
stands a high tower, with battle
ment effect, and affords the mail
entrance TO the church. The intel-
ior is arranged SO that it can be en-
larged as the occasion demands. To
t e north a large room is shut off
by mean of a wooden rolling cur
tain and a smaller is placed on the
west i ID in the same manner. With
these three rooms thrown into one
the seating capacity is placed at $50.
The main audience room has a slope
to the pulpit platform, giving an un-
INSTRUCTED view. On the platform is
a place made for the pipe organ,
which is to come later. The inter

clated with the construction of the

recognized. Cloak rooms with toilet

The Dedicatory Exercises.
/ When the church was thrown open
to the public Sunday morning for its
dedication there was a large crowd
present, nearly every seat being oc-
cupied. The music was excellent,
and arranged under the direction of
j. C. Lindsey. The sermon and adj
dresses fitted into their places with
ease and the entire service passed
off in a way that was enjoyable to
those present.
The voluntary was played by Mrs.
Cora Boice-Crow, and the choir and
congregation Joined the hymn, "Holy

THE COTTON CROP
WILL NOT Be LARGE

San Antonio, Texas. Sept THAT
the cotton crop of Texas will be short
this year by at least 40 per cent is
now an established fact. In the black
prairie belt the .--ortage will reach 50
per cent ind over, while southwest
Texas. more favored in the matter of
rain this year, will be behind last
years crop only 60 to % per cent. The
slightly increased acreage will have
little effect on the shortage of the
crop. The shortage is due principally
to the lack of rain at the proper sea-
son. A prolonged drought interferred
with the development of the plant at
a very early stage. The abundant
rains which have fallen through the
greater part of the summer did little
to overcome the harm done in the
spring. Late cotton was benefited by
them considerably. but not enough of
this Is planted to bring the crop to a
normal basis: cotton growers being ad-
verse to planting late cotton for the
reason that the crop comes in the
market at time when prices have
been lowered by the earlier product.
The nrices paid for cotton are good
and promise To remain so. As a mat
ter of fact the farmer will lose little,
il anything. by the shortage. Eight j..
cent cotton, the bane of the farmers
life, will not be a factor in the crop
this year, Best cotton now sells at
1aA cents. good middling at Il II
cents, on the San Antonio market,
Ten cents. If present indications count
for anything, and wholesale manipula-
ton does not interfere, will in all

son that the shortage is general all

Fifth'avenue and the parks and bouie-

While no one can exactly count for

the return of real times i'm business

Hudson's farthest north was made in

For more than 100 years after this
the Arctic circle smiled grimly, for no
one with any success attempted to
penetrate its fastness.
But with the beginning of the nine
teenth century the fever again broke
forth and the English, as usual. were
the most adventurous. Bold and able
seamen like Ross and Parry, Sir John
Franklin and Scoresby attacked the
ice pack. some from the eastern and
some from the western hemisphere,
with varying results. Ross In 1877 cut
new notch when he reached 81 de-
grees and 45 minutes. Parry in the
same year reached So degrees and 45
minutes
Parry. an experienced navigator. who
already had accompanied other ex-
plorers. discovered Il number of new
lands and waters which he named
and claimed for the English throne.

more than 10 years of exploration In
Arctic waters. He was knighted and
otherwise rewarded by the English
gnvafhment for his achievements, s.k

tian SO much was expected. was fated
never to make more than 7s degrees.
So far as IL known. Relief sent To him
was too late. and IL was not until
