CHURCH WORKERS
TRY NOVEL PLAN
Young People Meet i'm Cleveland
To Live Perfect For Two
Weeks

Cleveland, Jan. g. Living as
Jesus would"
Tomorrow afternoon, representa-
tives of more than 1000 Christian
young people will meet in the Ep-
worth Memorial church and for two
weeks live as they believe the Savior
would.
The Christian Endeaver society,
the Epworth Lesgue and the Baptist
Young Peoples union, comprising
172 societies, have sent representa-
tives to this meeting.
For the purpose of making their
pledge permanent, gigantic meet
ing will be held at the end of two
weeks, at which each member will
be asked to make a pledge to govern
his every action, ward and move
ment by the question What would
Jesus do?"
The workers in the movement
hope to get every member of the
three associations represented, as
well as members from other church
societies, to join in making the ex-
pertinent.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR COMING YEAR

New York, Jan. 2.-Hopeful finan-
cisl and commercial conditions for
the year 1909 are glowingly predict
ed in R. G. Dun & Co.'S annual re-
view of trade conditions. The
review asserts that the recuperative
powers shown by Wall street inter-
ests during the year just ended
"were beyond the hopes of the most
sanguine."
Dun places the amount involved
in banking failures during the wear
at S11O, 900, 900 less than that involv-
ed in 1907, although more banks
failed than in the proceeding year.
The review takes up in detail the
fortunes and misfortunes of various
industries during the old year and
their chances for betterment during
the new. The summary is very fav-
orable. Farmers, says Dun received
more money for their produce than
ever before. The total value from
farm produce was 81, 770, 900, 600.
The money market was very light,
says Dun, during the latter part of
1907 and the early part of 1908, but
has since eased up to a gratifying
extent.

EMBRYO BILLS
FOR LAW MAKERS
Will Be Asked To Increase Su-
preme judy sss and Create
New Circuits

Pierre, Jan. 2.-The coming ses-
sion of the legislature will not only
have the question of increasing the
number Of supreme court judges to
five, but will be asked to create sew
eral new judicial circuits. One of
which will be asked for is to include
the counties of Stanley, Lyman,
Gregory, and Trip, west of the
Missouri river. The claim fer this
circuit is that so long as these coun-
ties are attached to counties east of
the river, the judges in the circuit
have more work than they can at
tend to and the counties west of the
river should have better judicial SER
vice than they can possibly receive
under present conditions. Another
circuit which will be asked for will
be the division of the sixth circuit.
which is now the largest in the state
including the counties of Campbell,
Mcpherson, Walwroth, Edmonds,
Hand, HYDE, Sully and Stanley, ask
ing that circuit be made of the six
northern counties and the southern
portion of the circuit be set off in a
new circuit.

Eleventh Session of Legislature
of South Dakota ConveneS
at Pierre

Pierre, Jan. 5.-The eleventh BIZ
ennial session of legislature of the
state of South Dadota convened at
noon today. The house was organ
lied by the slection of M. j. CLANCY
of Waconda as speaker and j. w.
Cone of Minnehaha county chief
clerk; E. Moscript sargent. The
senate was organized by the election
of L. M. Simmons secretary.
Governor Vessey took the oath of
office in the presence of the house
and senate and the retiring governor
delivered his message and the new
governor the inaugural address. At
the conclusion of the inaugural eX-
ercises both houses adjourned.
There are an endless number of
Office seekers on the ground and
those familiar with the meeting of
the state legislature agree in saying
that never before were such num-
erous and hungry horde of Office
seekers on the ground. The men,
bers of the new political organiza-
ton are all present and the absence
of many familiar faces is noticed.
There will be no opposition to the
election of Gov. Crawford to the
United States senate.

RAINFALL OF 'O8
BREAKS RECORDS
Moisture of Past Year Heaviest
In History of State

Mitchell, S. D., Jan. 2.-During
the year 1908 the moisture that fell
in this city as measured by the gov
ernment rain gauge amounted to
35. l9 inches, and all previous re.
cords paIed into insignificance in
comparison with the possible excep-
ton of 1906, when the precipitation
amounted to 30.58 inches.
For a matter Of record we give
the rainfall for the past twelve
years, beginning with 1896, which is
as follows: 1896, 22.1l inches; 1897,
24:70; 1898, 1906 inches; 1899, 1887
inches; 1900, 1881 inches; 1901,
25.55 inches; 1902, 1854 inches;
1903, 1886 inches: 1904, 20.60 inches,
1905, 27.77 inches; 1906, 30.5 SO inches;
1907, 1886 inches; 1908, 35. 19 inches.
A word of explanation is probably
due concerning the rainfall of 1902
1907, for 1t appears to be small, and
eastern people will not understand
and will wonder how a country can
raise crops on such small rainfall.
In both of these years we will state
that seven-eights of the rainfall of
the entire year came during the
growing season, beginning from
early in April to the closing of July
although some moisture fell before
and after the mentioned months.
For ten years South Dakota has
had sufficient moisture to produce
crops that have made the state ia
nous in the agricultural line. and
with that record Of moisture behind
it there is no reason to ever ques-
ton the fact but what the state has
sufficient moisture to produce abun-
dant crops.

Sphinx Co. First Settler Dead

Pierre, Jan. Hon. S. w. Bow
man died at his home at Ashton this
morning from gastritis, which began
only three days ago.
Sam Bowman was the first white
settler in Sphinx county and was a
notable figure among the pioneers
who labored for the upbuilding of
the territory and state. He was
active in organizing Sphinx county,
was one of the early assessors and
afterwards a county commissioner.
1t wat due mainly to his firm and
diplomatic attitude that bloodshed
was averted between the armed fac
tions from Ashton and Redfield in
the famous county seat war in Sphinx
county. He was representative from
Sphinx county in the state legislature,
1889-9O and later was deputy COM
missioner of school and public lands.
He was an expert judge of real es-
tate and in his position as deputy
commissioner he did much field
work, spending many months in in
specting lands IN the Missouri valley
and western part of the state.
Many thousand of acres of the best
school and capital lands now held by
the state were secured by Mr. Bow
mans wise selection.

RELIEF WORK FOR
STRICKEN ITALY
u. s Sends Money and Battleship
Fleet To Aid Earthquake
Sufferers

Rome. Jan. l.-Relief plans at
Messina and other points are being
conducted more Systematically.
Different regions on the coast have
been allotted to various warships
and other ships as centers from
which torpedo boats and launches
convey and distribute rations and
water to different villages.
The minister of justice has wired
from Messina to Premier Giolitta
that large bodies of troops have ar
rived and are now occupying all
parts of the town. Persons are be-
ing dragged from the ruins all day
long and quickly transported to the
relief ships as soon as their wounds
have received attention.
There were slight shocks felt in
the earthquake zone today, COM
pleting the ruin of crumbling build
ings. Latest Investigations on both
sides of the straights make it GER
tain that many more than half the
population of coast towns are dead.
100000 DEAD
Prof. Ricco, director of the obser-
vatory at Mount Aetna, estimates
that the victims of the earthquake
will exceed 200.0U0.
Great relief was felt here when
the announcement was made that
the Lipari islands. which were re-
ported to have disappeared with their
population of %, 900, suffered little
or no damage from the earthquake.
Public opinion is seriously concerned
with regard to the safety of the
king and queen and the possible dan
ger from tottering walls. The king
frequently tried to persuade the
queen to rest or return to Rome, but
she always refused, declaring it
would break her heart to abandon
her husband in his labors for the
country IN its anguish.
Washington, Jan. 2.-President
Roosevelt, late this afternoon, sent
the following message to Patrick F.
MCGOWAN, American Italian general
relief committee. New York.

that can be done to get aid to the

treme urgency of the case, have sent
two supply ships with three hundred
thousand dollars worth of food and
provisions without waiting for au-
thority of congress, being confident
that congress will approve of my ac-
ton. | shall ask congress for addi

Italian government proffering the
services of any or all of the battle
ship fleet, if such can be of use in
this crisis.
