Abandoned Resort Near
Sioux Falls, is Destroyed
Sioux Falls-Willowdale, famous
over South Dakota as one of the
earlier day resorts, situated on the
Siouv river, about two miles west OF
the city, was destroyed by fire during
last evening. The city fire depart
ment was notified by telephone that
a building was burning, about two
blocks west of the Lowell school and
q quick run was made to that local
ity.
When the brow of the west hill was
reached Chief Arendt discovered tho
fire a mile or more west and with one
chemical engine, the journey across
the turnpike, which Is very poor
road, even in broad day, was made,
with the horses doing their best.
Arrived at the scene of the fire 1t
was found that the building was too
nearly destroyed to warrant any ef-
fort to save it, though the few up
right timbers which remained and
we're on fire, were subjected to SUI
ficient treatment from the chemical
to put out the fame.
The building was owned by Louis
Schubert and was last occupied by
regular tenant some years ago.
It was erected in the administra-
ton of Mayor Wiley about twenty
five years since and for years was the
residence of Madam Doyle.
Later q man named Crawford con-

part of the county objected to the city

FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
Conference at Mitchell Marks Half
Century Of Methodism in State


Century Of Methodism in State
Mitchell-The converting of the con-
ference in this city will mark the
fiftieth anniversary of the coming
of the first Methodist itinerant into
the then territory of Dakota, which
was brought about through the ap-
pointment of Rev. Stephen w. Ing
ham by the Upper Iowa conference.
Ingham was a young circuit rider, and
began his work in October, 1860,
preaching his first sermon at Vermil-
lion, Sunday, October -. Three
months later the first religious organ
ization of any kind, in the lower half
of the territory at least. was organ
lied and at that time the presiding
elder of the Sioux City district held
the first quarterly conference. Dur
ing his two years pastorate Mr.. Ing
ham travelled from Elk Point to Fort
Randall and also to Sioux Falls, and
visited the pioneers then there. He
was succeeded in 1870 by Rev. Jason
L. Paine, a superannuated preacher
from the Upper Iowa conference.
The Mitchell meeting will be made
prominent from the fact that two
bishops will be present-Bishop Nuel-
sen, representing the German denomi-
nation of the church, and Bishop Old
ham, the missionary bishop from
Singapore. Bishop Nuelsen will be
the presiding officer and Bishop Old
ham wiz take part in the missionary
features of the conference.
There will be two or three import
ant questions up before the confer
ence and before the laymens' conyen-
ton, prominent among which VIII be

A Workbasket Hint.

Keep in your workbasket several
hrge-size safety pins. and use them
70 string loose buttons, hooks, eyes,
Otc. Keep those of the same size on
the same pin. black hooks on black
pins, white eyes on white pins, etc.
Thus you never will have IN untidy
workbasket, or be delayed by not be-
ing able to find instantly what you
are looking for.
Fasten the safety pins to one side
of the lining of your basket-and
your method of securing neatness will
be complete.

ABERDEEN-PlERRE LINE
Construction Work Will Probably be
Pushed in the Spring

Aberdeen-A party of high onicials
of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
Railway company, including Theo-
dore F. Shonts, president, Edwin
H. Hawley, chairman of the board
Of directors, and w. G. Board, general
manager, visited Aberdeen in a special
train on Friday. The officials were
en- q general inspection tour of the
system, but in addition they came to
decide upon the practicability of at
once beginning work on the construc-
ton Of the roads contemplated line
from Aberdeen to Pierre, over the old
pierre grade" built by the Pierre
capital boomers twenty years ago and
offered to the road which would agree
to iron it and run trains over it. The
st, Louis accepted the offer last year,
and this year secured an extension OF
time to October 1. Late in September
It was announced that the contract
had been let for ironing the grade to
Winston brothers and that work
would be commenced at once. Gener-
al Manager Beard blasted all such
hopes on Friday, however, when ne
stated that owing to the lateness OF
the season it would be impossible to
secure contractors who would agree to
push the work, and that the company
therefore, would wait until spring be-
fore beginning construction work. The
announcement Is great disappo MT
ment not only to Aberdeen and Pierre,
but to a number Of intervening towns
which had been counting on more dir
rect connection by rail with the
metropolis of the northern part OF the
state or with the state capital. Mr..
Beard implied, however, that the road
would build the extension as soon as
spring opens.

Chic Hat for a Child,

Among the new display OF fall hats
for the little ones was fine French
felt, white, and in the new droopy
mushroom shape. The trimming was
a soft ribbon passed around the
crown and held down with trim little
rosettes of the ribbon, one over each
ear. The left rosette was encircled
by a dainty wreath of holly of the
variegated kind, the soft creamy
white and pale green leaves, with tiny
crimson berries. The ties were of
soft white ribbon, and altogether 1t
was a most attractive bit of millinery.

form of one query, and, being cor
rectly answered, other and similar
questions followed in quick success
sion.
The father, believing the younger
daughter was doing too much Of
the work, thought he would put his
frstborn up tree, and so he broke
in with a problem of his own inven-
ton. "Alicc," he quericd solemnly,
chow much do you and Gretchen
makc?"
Without an instant's hesitation
came the reply:
"Grctchcn and I, pop, make you

HER CHILDISH TERROR.
Jane Adams Awful Fear Of the Con.
sequences Of Lie.

1t must have been from very
early period that l recall ''horrid
nights when | tossed about in my
bed because l had told lie. l was
held in the grip Of a miserable
dread of death, a double fcar-frst,
that I myself should die in my sins
and go straight to that fiery hell
which was never mentioned at
home, but which l had heard all
about from other children, and, Sec
ond, that my fathcr-reprcscnting
the entire adult world which 1 had
bascly dcccived-should himself die
before I had time to tell him.
My only method of obtaining re-
lief was to go downstairs to my ia
theirs room and make full confess
sion. The high resolve to do this
would push me out Of bed and carry
me down the stairs without a touch
Of fear. But at the foot of the
stairs l would be faced by the awful
necessity of passing the front door
which my father because Of his
Quaker tendencies did not lock-
and of crossing the wide and black
expansc of the living room in order
to reach his door. | would invaria-
bly, cling to the newell post while I
contemplated the perils of the sit
uation, complicated by the fact that
the literal first step meant putting
my bare foot upon cold piece of
oilcloth in front of the door only a
few inches wide, but lying straight
in my path.
1 would finally reach my fathers
bedside perfectly breathless and,
having painted out the history Of
my sin, invariably receive the same
assurance that if he chad little
girl who told lies he was very glad
that she felt too bad to go to sleep
afterward." No absolution was ask
ed for or received, but apparently
the sense that the knowledge of my
wickedness was shared OF an obscure
understanding Of the affection
which undcrlay the grave state
ment was sufficient, for I always
went back to bed as bold as lion
and slept, if not the sleep of the
just, at least that of the comforted.
