History Of Red Gross Seal.

"Charity stamps" first used IN
Boston in 1862 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war. were the
originel forerunners Of the Red Cross
Christmas seal, which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
ito millions. The Delaware Anti-Tu-
berculosis society in 1907 for the first
time in America made use of a stamp
for the purpose Of getting revenu to
fight consumption. In a hastily or
ganized campaign of only three weeks
they realized $4,000. The next year,
1908, the American Red Cross con-
Quoted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign. From this sale $780,
600 was realized for the anti-tubercu-
losis movement. In 1909, under many
adverse conditions, %s250,00O was rea-
lized from these stamps. This year
the slogan OF the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross is "A Million for
Tuberculosis From Red Cross Seals
in 1910"

LAND MARK AN ASH PILE
WiIlowdaIe, 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
a quick run was made to that local
ity.
When the brow of the west hill was
reached Chief Arendt discovered the
fire a mile or more west and with one
chemical engine. the journey across
the turnpike, which is a very poor
road, even in broad day, was made,
with the horses doing their best.
Arrived at the scene of the fire il
was found hist the building was too
nearly destroyed to warrant any eff
fort to save it, though the few up
right timbers which remained and
were on fire, were subjected to a SUI
ficient treatment from the chemical
to put out the flame.
The building was owned by Louis
Schubert and was last occupied by a
regular tenant some years ago.
1t was erected in the a~dnlinistra-
ton of Mayor Wiley about twenty
five years since and for years was the
residence of Madam Doyle.
Later a man named Crawford con-
Quoted it and when the people of that
part of the county objected to the city
having it's undesirable population To-
Gated in the rural districts, the state
closed the resort.

Mitchell-The converting of the con-
ference in this city will mark the
fiftieth anniversary of the coming
of the first Methodist itineTant into

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 s~uperannuated 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 will take part in the missionary

ton. prominent among which will be
an effort made to locate the $780, eco
hospital which the church has decid-
ed upon building. Three towns are
