FOR TEMPERANCE
Mrs. Zehner, From Texas, Delivered
Two Addresses in City Hall for
Temperance Cause.

Sunday afternoon and evening Mrs.
Adoline Zehner, of Texas, spoke in
behalf of the temperance cause at the
city hall and on both occasions she
was greeted with large audiences. For
the evening meeting the churches of
the city closed their doors to give all
an opportunity to hear her.
At the evening meeting the chorus
choir of the Baptist church, under the
direction of Mrs. Emily Bras-Swift,
sang two fine selections and render
ed them we'll. The invocation was
given by Rev. q. M. LETTERS.
Mrs. Zehner handles the temper
ance cause in a way that is helpful
to it, presenting her statements
clearly and then backs them up with
good arguments. She gave a number
of illustrations Of the baneful effects
OF the saloon, which, to her mind,
we're sufficient for voting them out.
She declared with much force that the
saloon was a great evil, and that be-
ing such an evil it would die-just
as all great evils are bound to end
in death. Mrs. Zehner urged the peo-
pie of this city to again place Mitche1l
in the temperance column and vote
out the saloon on election day.
Mrs. Zehner Is a very strong

RAISED sl,24o 0 sIuDEH1
John f. Washburn, Ready for Mis-
sion Work, Will be Sent by the
Methodist Church.

Thursday afternoon when the men
of the Methodist church had finished
their UNCONVENTIONAL rally and had
discussed missions and what they
proposed to do to increase their
share of the mission fund. John E.
Washburn, a student of Dakota Wes-
leyan University, asked for a mo-
ment's time.
81 have been pursuing a course of
study in Dakota Wesleyan with the
idea of entering the foreign mission
field" said Mr.. Washburn. "Wednes-
day l was informed by DR.. Stuntz
that while they needed men the board
Of missions had nc money with which
to pay them and that he could not
use me for another year."
Mr.. Washburn felt the disappoint-
ment keenly, but there vas no help
for the situation and so he thought
he would mention the matter to the
laymen gathered in the church base
ment. Washburn seemed to strike at
the psychological moment, and it took
about ten seconds for the whole thing
to be seen by the men. DR.. Dobson
starting the money raising by pledg-
ing the Mitchell district for 500, DR..
Hager followed with a hundred for
Huron district, and DR.. Shepherd
pledged the Sioux Falls district for
500. Then followed the private sub
scriptions, which went to 5000. Some
brother in the crowd said: well the
young man will want to take a wife
along with him and we ought to
double that amount" The enthusiasm
in giving was not diminished and ST.
240 was raised.
Mr.. Washburn will graduate in
June and will then be ready to start
for South America, where he will be-
gin his missionary labors. This is one
of the practical and direct benefits
of the Laymens' Missionary Move
ment.

GOV. Wesley IN REPLY
Tells Parmley State has Saved Money
by Employing State Engineer on
Capitol.

Pierre S. D.. April Especial: In
a reply to a Letter written by j. w.
Parmley, "stalwart" republican can
didate for the republican nomination
for Acknowledgements, Governor II.
S. Vessey explains and defends the
action of the state capitol commits
sion in employing State Engineer Lea
to superintend the construction of
the new capitol and paying him in
addition to his regular salary for
the work. Mr.. Parmley insisted that
was part of the regular work of the
state engineer. Governor Vessey as
serts that a superintendent of con-
struction was needed and quotes an
opinion by the encouragement that
it would be lawful to employ the state
engineer in that capacity. Gov. Yes
sey says in part:
When it was first learned that a
superintendent of construction would
be NEEDED the capitol commission was
solicited by numerous men. who were
willing to furnish references, that
they were capable of supervising the
construction of such a building. The
propositions made by them were to
the effect that they should receive
from $500 to $500 per diem for
their services for full time.
Had the capitol commission en-
ployed any one of these applicants
from $500 to double that amount
ldependins upon the wage per diem)
would have ben paid out for this
work. Had the services on any one of
these applicants been employed at the
lowest wages, the work of construc-
ton would have cost $500 up to the
present time, and, Furthermore, the
superintendent of construction would
have drawn his salary up to the time
the building "a accepted by the cap
itol commission. Instead. the capitol
commission has paid only $3,315.5O
for the services Of superintendent of
construction on the building"

FIRST GAME Of SEASON
Dakota Wesleyan and Spencer Broke
the Ice Tuesday in the National
Game.

The Wesleyan baseball team had
their first tryout of the season Tues
/, day afternoon at the athletic field and
incidentally won out in a little con
test with the Spencer Giants by
the score of 6 to 4. The day was cold
and the wind blew necessarily over
the field but there were sufficient in
dications present to show that the
institution up on the hill will really
have n of the best teams that has
played on the diamond for some time.
The three pitchers, Patterson, Hogan
and Kirkpatrick were given a good
workout and each demonstrated that
they will be in the national game to
win this spring. The outfield and in
field needs some more polishing yet
to develope into trim but with a few
more days of good weather Coach
Chadwick will have the kinks
Strengthened out and the men hard
at work.
The lineup of the locals in Tues
days game was at the start of the
game: Patterson, p; R. Smith, G;
Miles, lib; Hardie, 2b; Hogan, 3b;
L. Smith, SIS; Storer, IF; Sheeks, CT;
Cook, If. The visitors team was COM
posed of Went, c; Ollendorf, p;
Kinderkugel, 2b; Petmiller, If;
Ryan, lib; P. Slattery, 3b; Tilley, CT;
Pruess, IF; C. Slattery, SIS.
The score by innings was:
D. w. u. 101 o 1 1 2 Ks
Spencer 0o01 oo12 o.
One thing brought out by the game
which was Of necessity rough and
ragged the Wesleyans have no dearth
of pitchers who will be available for
the big games which have been
scheduled to be played this spring.
Kirk, the entire mainstay of the team
in the pitchers box last season, is
stronger than ever and in this open
ing game manifested form and speed
which is the best he has yet shown.
Patterson, the new recruit from
Pierre, while pitching a straight ball
with few curves has accuracy and
speed which seemed to battle the OPP
ponents from Spencer Tuesday. Ho-
gan, the big "phenom" from Hartford
did not evidence the form that was
seen in the practice Saturday night
but with the record for past perform
ances he has will undoubtedly make
good on the diamond. Incidentally, in
the first part of the game, Hogan put
up a stellar article of baseball at the
third sack.

statement issued by Rev. B. M. 1.p-
pie, pastor of the Methodist church
here, criticising the pope, that he
called off a public reception at the
American embassy for tomorrow. at
which the minister was to act as host
The minister criticised the head of
the Catholic church for imposing
conditions on the reception of the
former American president.
Col. Roosevelt today characterized
the Methodist minister's statemo t

a sectarian controversy and declares
that that is just what he wished to
avoid as a result of the Vatican in

CAMELS THRIVE IN ARIZONA
Circus Animals Run Wild on Western
Desert-5rought Over to Make
Caravan Path.

Camels live in the African deserts
and In circus tents and-where else?
Where but In Arizona, q rather out-of-
the-way place. as far as most persons
are concerned, but nevertheless a part
OF the United States. There are about
sixty Of the circus beasts running

Ii not hard to do. There are great
plains In Arizona where men may
tramp or ride for days without find
ing water. II Is desert place. with
no growing thing but hard, dry shrubs
that keep the earth from blowing into
mountains.
Sixty years ago a herd Of is camels
was brought to Arizona. The United
States government brought them here
from Egypt to make a caravan path
across the desert. This was before
the time Of railroads. The camels
were good enough on the plains, but
as soon as they struck the rising
ground they were Of no value. Rough
travel made thar feet sore. Finally
they were all turned loose and forgot
ten. Nobody except a few frightened
Indians ever saw them, and they lived
quietly in the desert. Probably most
of the original herd are dead now, but
their children are left in plenty. As
long as the camels stay in the desert
and do not come to inhabited regions
where there are horses to brighten,
there is no reason why they should
not live undisturbed.
